Salvatore Boarding House, Mystic Falls, Virginia
Friday, Afternoon, 2011
Damon Point of View
Damon was finishing up buttoning his tie when a string of curse words from Stefan's room made him stop what he was doing and walk down to his brothers' room. Stefan was currently going through his cupboard unable to find whatever he was looking for. His brother slamming the drawer shut and pinching his nose was made Damon clear his throat. Stefan spun around to look at his brother, a mask dropping over his face to hide his frustration.
"Lose something?" Damon asked casually leaning against the door.
Observing his brother, he realised that he was dressed for the dance and he was currently looking for a tie in his drawers.
"Thought you weren't coming tonight?" Damon asked pushing off the door and walking into the room.
"Caroline had an emergency…Tyler bailed on her so I said I would take her" Stefan mumbled looking back in his drawer to avoid the sudden smirk that crossed Damon's face.
"Oh, Blondie had an emergency did she and you just had to 'rescue' her?" Damon asked as Stefan stopped and looked at Damon with a resigned look on his face.
"She's been talking about this dance for days, all the committees she went to and the effort she put into it…I just want to give her a night to say thank you for putting up with me" Stefan responded crossing the room and opening another drawer.
Damon smiled in response, in the future Stefan had admitted that he had always felt a connection to Caroline. It wasn't until he had moved on completely from Elena that Stefan was able to understand that the way he felt for Caroline was more than he ever thought he felt for the young blonde vampire. It would appear that with Elena's choice between the two brothers being finalised was hastening their blossoming relationship.
"And I can't find a green tie, even though I swear I had three" Stefan grumbled breaking Damon out of his reverie.
"Can't you just wear a different colour?" Damon asked slightly confused, this question made Stefan look at his older brother as if he had grown a second head.
"This is Caroline Damon, we have to 'match' " Stefan responded as Damon nodded his head.
"Wait here" Damon replied vamping his room and grabbing the dark green tie from his collection.
As he walked back into his brothers room Stefan let out a sigh of relief and went to grab it, before he could Damon moved it slight out of his reach.
"You know for someone who is treating this like a non-date you sure are getting worked up" Damon said moving his arm slightly so Stefan couldn't grab it. Stefan rolled his eyes at his elder brother and quickly snatched it from his hands.
"We are going as just friends ok?" Stefan grumbled as he turned back to the mirror and beginning to knot the tie around his neck.
"You doth protest too much little brother" Damon replied as Stefan finished with his tie and started to adjust it.
"Did you just come in here to mock me or is there something you needed?" Stefan asked as he walked back over to his bed and start preparing his shoes.
"Nope just wanted to check out what all the grumbling from the attic was about, thought a werewolf was going a change up here" Damon replied sarcastically.
"Your hilarious brother" Stefan replied standing up and walking towards the door, Damon grabbed his arm and looked sideways at Stefan.
"You sure you ok to be around this many people?" Damon asked looking at his brother.
"You worry too much" Stefan replied shortly ripping his arm from his brothers grasp and continued towards the door.
"And what about when you see Elena and I, will you be able to handle it then?" Damon asked not bothering with subtlety, his words causing Stefan to freeze.
"Wow you really are a dick" Stefan replied as he turned to his brother.
"Yeah well, I can't have you eating half the Mystic Falls High, now can I?" Damon replied hoping the levity in voice hid his real concern. Stefan sighed and looked at his elder brother realising how truly stressed Damon seemed.
"Look…I'm not happy with the way things happened with Elena…but that doesn't mean I'm not not happy for you" Stefan said to his brother smiling at him before he walked out the door not seeing the smile that crossed Damon's face.
Thirty Minutes Later
Gilbert Residence, Mystic Falls
Damon pulled up the Gilbert Residence just after seven o'clock and killed the engine looking up at the house before reaching over to the passenger seat and taking the corsage sitting there. Damon looked down at himself, smoothing out his tie and jacket then started up towards the front door. Usually Damon simply went through her window, but he was going to be using the front door today. As he walked up the stairs to the porch the door open and Alaric stepped out dressed to go to the dance.
"Damon, you don't look half bad…wait is that a corsage?" Alaric asked pointing to the flower in the plastic cover. Damon sighed and tried to hide it but he could already see the grin coming over his face.
"No…maybe, aren't you supposed to be there already?" Damon asked trying to get him to leave, but Alaric just laughed.
"You think you know some people…give her a goodnight Damon she deserves it" Alaric murmured nodding his head at Damon.
"I will, don't worry" Damon replied grateful his friend had dropped the topic but he had a feeling this was going to come back to bite him later.
Alaric walked past Damon and to his car as Damon turned back to face the door, he knocked once and heard footsteps coming down the stairs before the door opened and Damon's breathe was taken away. Elena stood there in a soft blue strapless dress that flowed down to her knees, the front dipped invitingly but conservatively, Elena's hair had been straightened and she was wearing make up that made her eyes smoulder and made her cheeks seem rosier than usual.
"Wow…you look amazing Elena; this is for you" Damon said holding up the box and taking the flower out.
"You clean up nicely Damon" Elena replied placing her hand on his chest as he fastened the flower around her wrist.
"I always look good" Damon replied widening his eyes and gently taking her hand and pulling her into an embrace.
"Easy their hot shot, there's not enough room in your car for me and your ego" Elena replied shaking head at him.
She turned and shut the door behind her before she linked her arm through his and together they started walking towards the car. Damon opened the car for her then rushed around before she had even putting her seat belt on. As Damon started the car and drove towards the school. Elena had a soft smile on her face and kept sneaking glances at Damon from the corner of her eye.
"What do you keep staring at?" Damon asked causing Elena to duck her head and turn her face away.
"Just you" Elena replied taking his hand and raising it to her lips to gently kiss her hand.
"You're just different and not a bad different…I like this you" Elena murmured keeping her eyes on their entangled hands.
"It's you Elena…I didn't care about anybody, not even Stefan but you brought out my humanity and I don't mind it" Damon replied as he pulled into Mystic Falls High School.
"You don't?" Elena asked turning in her seat to face him more.
"No I don't because if I didn't have it I wouldn't have you" Damon answered.
Elena smiled at him before raising her arms around his neck and drawing him in for what was supposed to be a sweet kiss but quickly escalated. Elena not even realising it had climbed into Damon's lap tangling her hands in his hair and devouring his mouth.
"We need to stop or we will not make to the dace" Damon replied breathlessly as he started to kiss down her neck causing her to moan out and pull him closer.
"Don't care" Elena murmured tugging on his black locks and bringing his mouth back up to hers, her tongue delving into his mouth causing him to mean and grab her hips to pull her closer.
As they continued to make out in the front of his car like a pair of horny teenagers a sudden tapping on his glass made him break away from Elena and look out the window whilst Elena not being able to get his mouth attached her lips to his neck and started nibbling. Outside Bonnie was standing there, a smile on her face whilst behind her Damon could see Jeremy shaking his head in horror.
"Elena, I think we just scarred your brother for life" Damon whispered into Elena's ear who shot up from his neck.
She looked out the window yelping when she saw Bonnie standing a massive smile on her face waving at her friend whilst Jeremy refused to look in the general direction of the car. Elena sat back in the passenger seat looking into the mirror her face flushing red and flattening her hair that Damon's hand running through only moments before. She got out of the car, her face still the colour of a tomato came around and hugged Bonnie.
"Oh my god… I am so sorry I didn't know you where there" Elena murmured as Jeremy came to stand beside Bonnie.
"That much was obvious, seriously guys is there going to be a time when you aren't trying to jump each other?" Bonnie said teasing her friend as Damon got out of the car and walked up behind Elena slipping an arm around her waist and pulling her back gently to him.
"What can I say she just can't get enough of me" Damon replied letting out a grunt when Elena's elbow made contact with his stomach.
"Trust me I know; I'm still scarred from the last time you didn't realise you were alone" Jeremy replied causing Elena if possible to flush an even deeper red than she was.
"By the way Bonnie you look gorgeous, you know if I didn't have this one I would be hitting you on fast your head spin" Damon responded flashing his eyes at Bonnie causing Jeremy to step closer her.
Bonnie was dressed in a teal coloured dress with her hair up and smattering of make up highlighted her features even more. Bonnie simply rolled her eyes at him as Elena elbowed him again in the stomach.
"Seriously woman you are really abusive tonight and you have really sharp elbows" Damon replied as Bonnie and Jeremy laughed at them whilst Elena gave him her best glare though the smile threatening the corner of lips ruined the pissed off look she was trying to give him.
"You just hit on my friend, your lucky I didn't slap you" Elena replied as she grabbed his hand and started to lead him towards the school. Damon sped behind her before she got too far and wrapped her in his arms from behind.
"You know you're the only one for me" Damon murmured in her ear kissing her neck softly as she smiled wrapping her arms around his making him pull her even closer.
"I know I just like hearing you say it" Elena murmured turning her head to face him, kissing him softly.
"Seriously guys I'm going to need someone to compel me that's my sister" Jeremy voice rang out causing Elena and Damon to break apart.
Bonnie and Jeremy were standing there behind them, the smile on Jeremy's face taking the bite out of his words. Bonnie grabbed Elena's pulling her along as Jeremy came up and started walking with Damon. As they walked through the school Damon suddenly realised how much he had changed things. In the original timeline Klaus had manipulated the situation so hold the Homecoming dance at the Lockwood mansion, he was currently in attendance with Elena, Bonnie had just laughed at another one of his jokes and even the stress of seeing Kai Park couldn't bring down his mood.
As they walked into the auditorium which had been transformed for the dance Elena had started dragging him towards the photographer that had been set up to take couples photos. When Damon realised what was happening he stopped and looked down at her.
"Pictures Elena really?" Damon whined as Elena continued to pull him towards the photographer.
"Yes Damon, I want pictures so shut up and your job of standing there and smiling" Elena replied as she pulled him in front of the photographer.
"Fine but you owe me" Damon replied coming stand beside her and wrapping her in his arms.
She smiled up at him and turned to face the photographer as Damon pulled her in tighter. They took more than their allocated time, pulling in Jeremy and Bonnie for a couple's photo. Elena and Bonnie stood in the centre while Damon stood beside Elena, Jeremy took his place beside Elena. Damon smiled, looking over at Elena, Bonnie and Jeremy thinking that regardless of whatever would come he would enjoy this night with his makeshift family.
From the entrance Damon heard a familiar laugh and as Elena started to drag Damon towards the dance floor, when Damon finally came within sight he started laughing as Bonnie, Elena and Jeremy stopped to see what was so funny. Walking into the gym was Stefan with Caroline hanging off his arm. As the group took in the sight of the couple who had just entered, they saw Caroline start to drag Stefan towards the photographer they had just finished with. Stefan did not look enthused at the idea until Caroline turned to Stefan and whispered a please to him that made him smile his head at her and follow without the resistance from before.
"I thought she was coming with Tyler" Bonnie murmured her eyebrows had gone up into her hairline while Damon continued to laugh.
"Yeah I found Stefan at the house, he said they we coming as 'friends' but he seemed to want to make sure Blondie had a really great time for 'friends' " Damon replied smirking whilst Elena shook her head and smiled softly back at Damon.
"Come on Salvatore you owe me a dance" Elena said pulling Damon onto the dance floor as a slow song started Damon spun her away from him causing her to laugh before he pulled her back and capture her lips with his.
Elena had been in Damon's arms softly swaying to the music while looking at Bonnie and Jeremy who were dancing a short distance away. She looked around and saw that Stefan and Caroline were standing close to the dance floor. She couldn't hear what was being said between them, but it looked like Caroline was trying to convince Stefan of something before he sighed down at her and took her hand leading her onto the dance floor.
"Wow, Care just convinced Stefan to dance" Elena murmured to Damon causing him to look in the same direction as she was before he laughed softly again.
"Yeah she can be quite convincing" Damon murmured down at her as Elena shook her head.
"Yeah but he hates to dance, I mean all the times we came to a dance I had to drag him kicking and screaming…and he just says yes to Care" Elena murmured causing Damon to stiffen and look away from her causing Elena's heart to clench.
"Hey I didn't mean it like that" Elena murmured to Damon raising her hand to his check, turning him to face her.
"Not having second thoughts?" Damon asked plastering a fake smile on his face.
"Not at all Damon, I'm just surprised. I'm here with you, I chose you so I would appreciate if you stopped acting like an insecure idiot" Elena murmured burying to her nose in his neck and kissing his skin softly causing him to sigh and lean his head against her's.
"Sorry, still not used to being anybody's first choice…its an adjustment" Damon murmured causing Elena's heart to clench and pull him closer.
"You're mine, I love you Damon Salvatore and no-one else" Elena murmured pulling back to capture his lips with hers, after several moments Damon broke the kiss and slowly started swaying her to the music again.
"I love you too" Damon replied pulling her closer, they were silent for a few moments. Suddenly Damon felt someone tap him on his shoulder, breaking away from Elena he saw that it was Caroline and Stefan.
"Hey Elena…could I borrow Damon for a minute, I need to talk to him" Caroline replied looking fearful that her friend would still be upset at her.
"Sure but I am making myself clear this a loan I expect him back in thirty minutes or less" Elena said breaking away from Damon and looking at Stefan.
"I'm going to get a drink, come on Stefan you can keep me company while Caroline steals this dance" Elena continued walking towards the punch bowel under the basketball ring.
"That was subtle" Damon spoke causing Caroline to laugh and look at him.
"Yeah, Elena has the subtlety of a bull in a china shop" Caroline responded causing Damon to laugh and hold out his hand.
"Do you want to dance while we talk, I mean it would be a crime to deprive you of a dance with the better looking Salvatore" Damon retorted causing Caroline to laugh at him as he held out his hand to her.
"Sure why not" Caroline responded as another song started, as they started to dance together Caroline suddenly looked like she didn't know what to say.
"Wow, I've made Blondie speechless, somebody notify the press" Damon ribbed gently causing Caroline to laugh, after she had stopped laughing she looked down before gathering her resolve and looking up at him.
"Thank you, Damon…for my mother. I know you didn't have to do that but…god if anything ever happened to her I don't know what I would do" Caroline spoke to him causing memories to flash before his eyes.
An emotionless Caroline wreaking havoc and destruction with her emotions off, then having their problems doubled when Stefan instead of convincing Caroline to turn her emotions back on was convinced by her to switch his off. It had taken breaking Damon's and Stefan's mother out of the prison world and shoving him in his brothers face that caused Stefan to regain his humanity. After that it hadn't been as difficult to convince Caroline to turn hers on with Stefan urging her to.
"So thank you, and I'm sorry. You were right I was holding a grudge against you from what you did when we were together" Caroline continued bringing Damon back to the present.
"I am sorry about that Blondie…if I could change what I did I would but I was a different man back then" Damon replied as they stopped dancing and simply looked at each other.
"I know, Elena Gilbert could never love the Damon Salvatore who killed Vicki and treated me like a lunch box. But she could fall in-love with the Damon Salvatore who jumped in front of a werewolf for me. The one who protected her from Klaus and rescued Stefan. And I have to admit that Damon Salvatore isn't that bad of a guy, maybe someone I could be friends with" Caroline said looking insecure for the young blonde.
"Frenemies?" Damon asked quirking his eyebrows causing to Caroline to laugh at him.
"Frenemies it is" Damon replied as Elena and Stefan came back over the pair, Elena raising her eyebrows at her boyfriend and then her best friend.
"Do I want to know what's so funny?" Elena asked as she handed him a drink, Stefan doing the same to Caroline.
"Blondie here just admitted she was in-love with me and I had to let her down gently" Damon replied causing Caroline to splutter at him.
"Oh please you wish Damon and anyway been there done that got the t-shirt" Caroline snarked back him causing Stefan to laugh.
"Ok that's enough, I don't need to hear anymore about my boyfriends past" Elena replied glaring slightly at Caroline who shrugged innocently.
"Any way's I have the Salvatore who is the better dancer so why would I want to go back" Caroline replied grabbing Stefan's hand and pulling him onto the dance floor.
"You wish Blondie" Damon shouted after her causing her to flip him off and start dancing with Damon as a more fast paced came on.
"So do you really want to tell me what that was about?" Elena asked wrapping an arm around his waist and coming to stand in front of him.
"I think Caroline just gave us her blessing…I think its hard to tell with Blonde whether she was insulting me or apologizing" Damon replied to Elena as Bonnie came to stand beside them.
"What, do you mean like you Damon?" Bonnie asked causing Elena to laugh at them.
"Hey I can apologise just fine" Damon protested as Bonnie and Elena looked at each other for a moment before they burst out laughing.
"Come on lover boy I need a dance" Elena said pulling Damon onto the dance floor.
As the night wore on Stefan and Caroline decided to come over and join their friends. Over the next few hours it was a haze of laughter and dancing. Damon switched partners with Jeremy at one-point leading Bonnie on the dance floor as the Gilbert siblings rolled their eyes at their partners. Before the night had ended Alaric joined the little group and told them someone had spiked the punch (which Damon and to the groups shock Bonnie took credit for). For the first time in a long time surrounded dancing with Elena and surrounded by Bonnie, Jeremy, Stefan and Alaric he felt truly happy; a feeling that he was becoming more used to since Elena had come back into his life.
Gilbert Residence, Mystic Falls, Virginia
Friday, Late Evening, 2011
Elena Point of View
I was riding in the back of Alaric's SUV with Damon sitting in the front and Bonnie and Jeremy sat beside her laughing just as had at the joke Alaric had just said. As they pulled up to the house and stopped the car Elena hopped out and stumbled slightly, when with a whoosh Damon was there steadying her.
"Whoops, who made the pavement so uneven" Elena said causing Damon to laugh and wrap his arms around her.
"Come on drunky time to get you to bed" Damon replied causing Elena to snicker and start to whisper just a little too loudly.
"Shhh Damon Alaric, Bonnie and Jeremy are right there I don't want to find out about the naughty things I let you do to me" Elena scolded as Jeremy groaned at her words and Alaric started to walk up the path faster.
"Ewwww Elena why, seriously Damon I will pay you to compel me. Please it's bad enough I have to hear it sometimes" Jeremy retorted causing Bonnie to laugh and Elena to bury her head in embarrassment.
"Sorry Jere" Elena responded not looking guilty or sorry in the least as they followed Alaric's path into the house.
As they stepped into the house, Elena still laughing at her little brother Alaric's broken body came into view standing slumped at the bottom of the stairs. Damon suddenly shoved all three of them towards the door as it slammed shut from an invisible force.
"Ah ah ah, the party's just getting started" a voice spoke out and Elena's heart dropped like a stone…it was the warlock from yesterday the one who had thrown Damon into the car and nearly kill him.
Damon suddenly sprang forward snarling dark veins rippling across his cheeks as he went in for the kill. Kai raised his hand at Damon and suddenly he fell to his knees groaning in pain.
"Stay down Salvatore" Kai snarked as Damon trembling got to his feet. Kai shoved his hand out and suddenly screamed out in pain causing Elena to snap into motion.
"Don't you dare hurt him" Elena cried as Damon passed out from whatever spell. She suddenly ran at Kai pushing him back into the wall, Elena kneed him once in the stomach and gave him a left hook that Damon and Alaric had taught her when Kai through his hand out again sending Elena flying back and hitting the floor near Bonnie and Jeremy.
"Elena" Jeremy cried as he bent down to help his sister stand up. The wind rattling the walls caused Jeremy to look up and see that Bonnie had eyes trained Kai, a spell starting to fall from her lips.
"Now we can't have that can we?" a second voice broke out from behind Bonnie as a pair of hands closed around her head.
Suddenly Bonnies eyes fluttered closed and she started to fall to the floor. Jeremy barely had time to catch her as Elena looked up to where Bonnie had been standing and her froze in her chest at the sight of Cade standing in the doorway. Elena turned away and looked towards Damon seeing him lying still on the floor.
"Damon, baby no" Elena cried moving towards Damon. Out of the corner of her eye she saw that Jeremy was shaking Bonnie, crying her name in desperation and as Elena came to fall beside Damon she acutely felt her brothers pain.
"What did you do to him?" Elena cried out, vengeance in her eyes as she spotted Kai rubbing his cheek and smiling wickedly at her.
"Nothing compared to what I am going to do to you" he growled as he started to stalk forwards towards them. Elena covered Damon's body with hers and waited for the inevitable pain but when it didn't come after several moments she looked up to see Cade shoving Kai away from them.
"Calm down, we are here for a reason. Now grab Salvatore and bring him into the lounge room we don't have a lot of time" Cade spoke causing Kai to look at him before he took a breathe and smiled down at her.
"You're right what we are about to do will be much worse" Kai said looking down at Elena causing another a shiver of fear to travel up her spine. Cade grabbed her and pulled her away from Damon as Kai grabbed him by his foot and started to drag him towards the lounge room.
Cade threw Elena onto the couch as Kai placed Damon into a chair, muttering a spell and suddenly Damon was bound by the chains to the chair. Throughout all this Elena struggled but for some reason she couldn't move from her place on the sofa.
"Please stop, I'll do anything just don't hurt him" Elena begged tears gathering in her eyes as Damon groaning made her snap her head in his direction.
"Elena" Damon murmured his head coming up to look at her, when he saw Cade with his hand on her shoulder he started to struggle against the chains growling and howling at Cade.
"You touch her Cade and I will peal the skin from your bones" Damon growled causing Cade to laugh at him.
"I wouldn't be so worried about that…I'd be more concerned with what we are about to do to you" he murmured as Kai strode over to Elena with a knife cutting her arm causing Damon to struggle once against the chains.
"Calm down, we only needed a bit of her blood for the spell" Kai said stepping away from Elena and heading back to kitchen. He returned several moments later with a goblet in his hand placing it on the table.
"What spell, what are you doing Cade?" Damon growled at the man who paused and looked at him thoughtfully for moment.
"You see Damon I have a problem…you. I know now that no matter what I do you won't serve me. I can't control your mind and I know that if I were to harm anyone you cared about well it would simply create more problems" Cade spoke moving to stand in front of Damon.
"Why not kill me then?" Damon asked causing Elena to gasp and struggle harder.
"Well you see I'm entirely sure yet what the effect would be if I killed you yet but I can't have you running around foiling my plans. So I became creative, how to take you out without killing you and suddenly I had an idea" Cade replied looking at Elena.
"The spell that was placed on Elena in the future, Kai is about to cast it on you Damon. You will sleep and not wake until the person who you are bound to dies and in this case that person is Elena" Cade spoke grinning widely at Damon as Elena started to cry at the realization for what was about to happen.
"No please place it on me, you can't take him away from me" Elena cried almost hysterical at what was about to happen.
"I'm sorry my dear but I need Damon out of the picture and this is the perfect way to do it" Cade replied as Elena looked at Damon. He wasn't moving and there was a look of resignation on his face.
"So what are you waiting for then do it" Damon murmured causing Elena to cry out.
"No no no no no no" Elena started to chant as Kai moved into position behind Damon placing his hands on his head.
"Elena, Elena calm down baby calm down ok it'll be ok just look at me" Damon murmured to her.
"Damon please do something…don't let them do this" Elena cried as Kai started to recite latin behind Damon. Damon smiled gently at her, his cerulean eyes holding her soft brown ones.
"I love you Elena Gilbert, never forget that" Damon said as Kai started to recite the spell causing the room to start to shake.
"I love you Damon Salvatore" Elena cried as Damon smiled at her softly before suddenly Kai finished causing Damon to cry out and lean forwards, the life leaving his body.
"Damon, Damon no" Elena cried suddenly able to move again. She vaguely heard Bonnies voice and the sounds of crashing but she only had eyes for Damon. As she reached him she kneeled in front of him her hand softly stroking his cheek.
"Damon…baby wake up…you have to wake up ok this…this isn't funny" Elena murmured brokenly moving swiftly behind the chair to undo the chains that were holding him in place. The crashes and sounds around her stopped but she couldn't think of what that meant as she finally got Damon released. Without the chains to hold him in place Damon pitched forward and hit the ground with a thud, the sound shattering what was left of Elena's heart. As Elena dropped to her knees beside Damon and pulled him onto her lap she started to shake him, murmuring softly at first, when that didn't work she started to hit his chest the tears coming down beyond her control.
"Damon, baby wake up…you promised me you would never leave…you promised you would neve leave" Elena murmured burying her head in his chest. A soft hand on her shoulder pulled her away and for the first time in what felt like hours Elena looked at the room behind her.
The first thing that she noticed with a thrill of satisfaction was the corpse of Kai Parker on the ground, his heart had been removed and lay near his body. Stefan stood a few metres away from Elena with Caroline standing next to him tears falling from her eyes. Bonnie was the one kneeling next to Elena tears falling from her eyes as Bonnie slowly Elena from Damon. Elena fell down into Bonnie's arms and started to cry, the bond that she shared with Damon was silent and it felt like her soul had been ripped from her body.
"Bring him back Bonnie…please bring him back" Elena begged backing away from her grabbing her hands and pleading with her witch friend.
"I can't Elena…I'm sorry" Bonnie murmured again to her pulling her into arms. Elena threw herself out of Bonnies arms and turned to Damon pulling his head into her lap, no-one would be able to pry Damon from Elena's arms for the rest of the night.
Author's Note: Wow this one really got away from me, I'm sorry if anyone hates me right now but there is a purpose to this. Now I have a question, should I do a time jump to when Damon wakes up or should I a chapter or two without Damon around. Please let me know what you all think of the chapter and on whether you want a time jump or several chapters with the character coming to grips with life without him. Now I don't want to spoil things too much, but I put Damon into sleeping beauty spell for two reasons.
The first is I have always been curious about what would have happened if Damon had been placed in the spell instead of Elena. The second reason I cannot give at this moment, but it will be revealed in future chapters. As always please review and until next time…
