Waking Up Underneath the Willow Tree
Chapter 4
Elena sighed tossing her hair in frustration as she closed her eyes. She was tired of not remembering anything about what happened to her and Damon had told her her memories would come back to her bit by bit, but so far she hadn't gotten anything. But after just a little push she finally got something. It was only a little tiny memory, but it still was progress.
The memory started out in a place that Elena didn't remember. It reminded her of a bar, but she knew that wasn't right. She wasn't old enough to be in bars. So where was she. She looked around in her subconscious and saw the menu. Mystic Falls Grill.
That's when she got sucked out of her vision and threw a pillow to the ground in frustration. Why had it lasted only a second? She tried multiple times throughout the day to get it back, but had no luck. She only had one clue and that was Mystic Falls Grill. That's when she had an idea.
She lunged off of the bed and went to the room that Damon had pointed out was his and just barged into the room. She squealed a little bit as she covered her eyes.
"You know you could have knocked?" Damon said sounding a bit annoyed.
"Well I didn't expect to see you in all your naked glory."
"Hold on."
Elena kept her eyes covered until Damon told her to look. He was now in his underwear, but that was better than nothing.
"Now what do you want?"
"I want to go outside."
"Okay we can go right now."
"No I don't mean outside. I mean outside."
"You want to go out on the town. You're not ready for that Elena."
"I remembered something."
Damon's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you remember?"
"It wasn't much. It was just a sliver of a memory, but it was still something. I was in a place just sitting down at a bar and I looked down and saw that it was Mystic Falls Grill. I was thinking that maybe if I went there I could gain back some of my memories. Maybe I'll even find out what happened to me there. Please Damon. If it becomes too much for me, you can just take me back here."
"Fine. We'll go, but only for a little while. You're stiull new and out of control. You need more training and we'll go when it's slow so it won't be too much for you."
Elena smiled and threw herself in Damon's arms. She hadn't meant to do that, but she was just too excited that she didn't think. Still Damon hugged her anyway. It made her feel so warm even though she was always cold now a days.
She sighed and pulled away, but it seemed like he kept her there for whatever reason he didn't want to let her go. He touched her hair slowly and looked down into her eyes. What the hell was happening here?
Before anything could progress further he pulled away sudden;y composing himself and going back to look like the same old Damon.
"You should get some sleep. You have a big day tomorrow."
She nodded and went towards the door.
"Thank you Damon."
He smiled at her. She had to admit that she loved his genuine smile.
"You're welcome Elena."
She nodded at him and left to go back to the bedroom that was now becoming hers.
