"Harmony?" I watched as the flames died out, leaving an unconscious Harmony in my arms. At first I thought she was going to wake up and not know where she was, and we were going to have to go through this all over again. It broke my heart to think I had just got her back, before loosing her almost right away.

But when I heard her heart beat slow and fade, my initial worries were nothing compare to how I felt then. "Harmony." I shook her, hoping to wake her up.

I knew then she was dying. I didn't breathe, so I couldn't give her mouth to mouth. I was sure if I tried to hit her on the chest like people do when they tried to revive people, I would break her rips. So there was only one more thing to do.

I bit into my wrist and pressed it against her lips, watching as the smallest amount of my blood made its way into her mouth. But I wasn't sure if she swallowed or not, and when I heard her heart stop, my world stopped to.

She's dead. The thought came to me so naturally I was sure it wasn't true. Harmony had been too incredible to just die. Dying was a mortal thing, and she had been so amazing it was easy to forget she was human.

But right now, as I held her to me. She never looked more human then she did now, lying in my arms, pale and unmoving.

Sarah had taken a long time to sober up enough for me to send her home. By the time I got her home it was almost five in the morning, and I had left at about eleven.

Once I got back, I could tell something was wrong. At first I thought that it was because I was sure Harmony and Damon were together, and that still seemed to hurt me. But it didn't take me long to figure out what was really wrong.

It was a smell. The whole house smelled as if something had died. As if death had visited. So I made my way upstairs to Damon's room, hoping he could give me an explenation. But as I did, the smell got stronger.

When I opened the door, my eyes landed on Damon. He sat on the bed, naked, holding Harmony in his arms. She was also naked, though she didn't look right. After a second's thought I realized it was Harmony that was causing the smell.

"Damon?" I looked up at my older brother as I cautiously moved towards his bed.

He looked up at me, as if he'd just returned to this world. His eyes moved to Harmony, her frail body in his arms. When he looked up at me he looked desperate. "Stefan?"

I fell to my knees by his bed, a pain in my chest squeezing my heart. "Brother?" My eyes widened as reality crashed on top of me. "She's dead."

Bonnie and Caroline sat at the dinning room table with me, as we drank coffee and talked. We had been going on about the parties we had when we were younger, and how last night hadn't been much different.

Bonnie's mug fell to the ground as her eyes widened. Her dark skin paled as she turned to me. "Elena..."

My blood ran cold. There were only a few things that could scare Bonnie, but in the pit of my stomach I knew what happened. "Matt." I screamed, pushing myself up and moving for the door. "Get the car keys."

When we arrived at the boarding house, Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and I ran to the front door. I got there first, and burst inside, not bothering to knock.

"Stefan." I cried, making my way to the stairs. I didn't even need to look around to know where I needed to go. My legs took me to where she was. I threw myself into Damon's room and found them all in there, a picture so daunting I swear part of me died right there.

Damon sat on his bed, naked, rocking back and fourth crying. Stefan kneeled by him, his hands holding Harmony's. But Harmony herself was unmoving. Her naked, pale, limb, body in Damon's arm.

"Damon?" I couldn't move I couldn't look at her and confirm what I felt.

Matt was behind me now, and I heard him crack, bursting into tears. "No, no it can't be. Harmony." He fell to the ground, his head on the floor as if he were praying. "Not my baby girl."

Caroline and Bonnie were with us now. Bonnie was silent though I was sure she was simply shocked, but Caroline turned her pain into anger.

"What did you do?' she yelled, though didn't try to push past me to get into the room. "What did you do?" she repeated, her words echoing off the walls.

Stefan was looking at me and I could see he was silently crying. "Elena..." he wanted me to look away. He wanted to protect me.

I moved forward then, though the others stayed back. When I went to touch her Damon growled. "No." was all he said as he looked up at me.

I knew there was some part of me that wanted to kill him. Just by looking at them I knew they had been together that night, and her neck showed me he had bitten her. But I knew that's not what had killed her. His skin as slightly red as if he had been in the sun too long, and that told me Harmony had died because of the power within her.

I placed a hand on his shoulder, and that's all it took. He let go of her and wrapped his arms around me as he began to cry in my arms. His body shook as he cried against me. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." he sobbed.

I didn't cry. I stood there with my arms around him, needing this as much as him. After all our fighting, I had never realized how much he really loved her.

Everyone fell silent as we stood there, not knowing what to do. When Damon let go of me, he turned back to Harmony, reaching out to pull her to him.

His fingers had only brushed her skin; it had been the slightest touch. But with that, Harmony sat up suddenly, gasping for air.

"What happened?" I asked looking around the room.

Mum, dad, Caroline, Bonnie, Stefan and Damon were all standing around, looking at me with shocked expressions. When Mum pulled me in to her arms, I was sure she was squeezing me hard enough I could choke.

"I thought I'd lost you." she said, crying happily.

"Mum I know you don't like me staying here and I want to come home."

"Wait..." Caroline moved closer to me, her eyes glaring as if she were trying to read me. "Do you remember?"

I nodded. "I remember everything." I shrugged. "So what's with the audience?" I looked over at Damon and saw he was naked. I then remembered that I was naked as well. "Oh my God seriously? Privacy please." I said, trying to push mum away so I could cover myself.

"Harmony do you know what happened?" mum asked, moving away.

I shrugged. "Yeah... but I don't want to talk to you about it." I whispered, knowing perfectly well that dad was in the room.

"She means after we were together." Damon stood forward, sitting next to me.

I looked up at him, into his eye. I tried to recall everything that happened, and at first it made me blush. But then I remembered the whirlwind of memories, and Sapphire's face. I remembered the fire and then fading as if everything in me had burned up and there was nothing left.

"I died." the information came to me like a slap. Still looking at Damon. "How?" but his eyes told me everything. I was in transition.

He looked at me with relief, and regret. "Harmony, you're turning into a vampire."

I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review :):)
