Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Warning there is a lot of smut in this chapter and if you squint really really hard, you might somewhere in there, find a tiny bit of plot.

Damon took Elena's hand and led her over to the huge bath tub in his bathroom as Elena began to take in her surroundings. The bedroom and bathroom both looked amazing. He'd set a path of rose petals from his bedroom door until it forked and on path led to the bed and one path led to the bath tub, which was surrounded by a stand which had previously contained the ice bucket and champagne. Damon let go of Elena's hand as they got to the bath.

"You wait there." he grinned as he vamp-sped over to the bedside dresser and grabbed the ice bucket which now contained the bottle of champagne. He placed the two glasses inside and picked up the bowl of strawberries and vamp-sped back to bathroom and placed the bucket in the stand and the strawberries on a little shelf next to the bath, where Elena suddenly noticed a bowl containing pieces of chocolate.

Looking in the bath itself, there were rose petals floating around and the delicious aroma of vanilla wafting in the air. Damon put his hand into the half empty bath check the water was still hot, and turned the faucet on just for whilst placing some bubble bath under the faucet and grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"What?" Elena asked, eyeing Damon suspiciously.

"You are amazing, and beautiful and I'm the luckiest guy in the world." he said turning off the faucet, standing up and wrapping his arms around Elena's waist, pulling her close to him before placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

"What's this all for?" Elena asked, waving her hands at the bubble bath and champagne.

"I never need an excuse for a bath with champagne, at any time of the day." he told her as he stepped in the bath and holding out his hand for Elena to join him. "Plus, I've had a really crappy weekend." he smiled as Elena took Damon's hand who stepped in the bath to join him, as he sat down and Elena sat between his legs, her back to his chest. Damon poured them both a glass of champagne and offered her some chocolate as they both took a piece.

"You like chocolate?" Elena asked lazily.

"I have a very sweet tooth." Damon laughed as Elena turned her head to look at Damon who had his fangs elongated, prompting Elena to laugh with him.

"This is nice." Elena sighed. "Just you and me, nobody to interfere. Do you think there will ever be a time when it's just the two of us? You know, without there being some major catastrophe or someone hunting us?" she asked.

"For longer than a week?" Damon asked. "Nope. Can't see it." he joked. "But it means the time we get together alone is even more precious and important and we should always make the best of it and make it special." he added, kissing the side of her head.

"Is that why you went to all of this effort?" she asked. "To make it special?" Elena turned her head to look up at him.

"And because I love you." Damon whispered. "And to me that is something worth celebrating every day the we can, of our lives together. Even if it is for all eternity." he said, looking at Elena lovingly, prompting her to kiss him, before turning back and lacing her fingers through his.

"So what's our next move?" Elena asked. "Leave the cure with Katherine?"

"Personally, I'd like to take that cure and force it down Klaus's throat." Damon admitted. "Although admittedly, having it would give us a lot of leverage." he said.

"We could also see if Bonnie could find a way to replicate it." Elena suggested. "She's a descendant of Qetsiyah's family, which means there must be a way to recreate the magic Qetsiyah used to create the original cure. Maybe Bonnie can find a way to cure us both when the time comes for us to want a family." she said.

"Qetsiyah was one of the most powerful witches ever to roam the earth." Damon said. "And she was only able to make one dose. You really think Bonnie could make more?" he asked.

"I dunno." Elena shrugged.

"You really want this don't you?" Damon asked.

"I want you for the rest of my life." Elena assured him. "Eternal or human, I don't care." she lay her head back onto his shoulder before turning to look up to him. "Nothing else matters. Yes it would have been a nice option for us to have a real family in the future, I admit. But I only want one with you, so if we both can't take it, I don't want it." she smiled as Damon looked down at her and kissed her chastely.

"Okay." he said. "Let's see what we can find and what Bonnie can do." he added as he kissed Elena once more, however this time the kiss was filled with passion.

Elena turned her body around, water spilling over the top of the tub as she straddled Damon's thighs to deepen their kiss. She'd had enough of talking, she was getting turned on by the sight of him, his raven hair, now wet, was even inkier than usual, striking against his pale white skin, all making his icy blue eyes, which were full of love, just for her, stand out even more. Elena slid her hand under the water and wrapped her fingers around his length which was already hard and began to gently pump his shaft, earning her a moan of pleasure from him. The sound of his moans was enough to turn Elena on so she began kissing and licking his neck, whilst continuing her ministrations with her hand as he lay his head back on the rim of the bath, giving her greater access to his neck and exposing his jugular.

When Elena looked up at Damon, the predator inside her suddenly woke, and possibly for the first true time since she'd become a vampire, she understood why some vampires seduced their prey first. Had this man sharing the bath with her been a human and not Damon, then it would have been so easy to rip into his jugular and let the delicious blood flow into her mouth. This thought alone made Elena feel very powerful and extremely turned on, it also triggered the veins around her eyes to tickle as her fangs began to elongate.

"Do it." she heard Damon growl. "I know you want to." he said. Elena looked up at him and licked her lips in anticipation, her tongue catching on one of her fangs causing it to bleed, but instead of wincing with pain, she just relished at the taste of the blood.

Without a word of warning, Elena went straight for the artery and inserted her fangs into Damon's neck as his delicious blood began to flow into her mouth. At the same time she felt Damon's hand begin to gently massage her clit before he inserted a finger inside of her. This time there was no sharing thoughts or memories, this was Damon allowing Elena to be her true predatory self, even if they were confining it to their bedroom (or in this case bathroom) instead of Elena doing what was natural, which was feeding from and killing humans, for once Elena was acting like a vampire.

The combination of Damon's touch and his blood was sending Elena into a sexual frenzy, she needed relief, however Damon seemed to already know what she wanted as he pulled her hips over his shaft, allowing her to gradually lower herself onto him. He bucked her upwards slightly so that she released her fangs from his neck as blood smeared all around her face. Damon thought she'd never looked more beautiful as he began to thrust upwards whilst she circled her hips and they began kissing in an urgent frenzy, both in a desperate need to satisfy the other.

Damon's lips made their way down Elena's jawline and to her neck. This time it was her who was to be the prey, as she looked down at Damon, who's eyes had changed, and his fangs elongated, making him look even more beautiful in Elena's eyes.

"This won't hurt. You won't scream." he said gently, pretending to compel her.

"It won't hurt, I won't scream." she repeated blankly, playing along.

"You can only scream when I make you come." he growled. "And I'm going to make you come fucking hard." he said.

"I can only scream when I come." Elena repeated, trying not to smirk as Damon began licking a trail up her jugular until she felt his teeth pierce through the skin. If she'd have been human she supposed it might have hurt, but instead as a vampire the slight pain was exquisite, but nothing compared to the feeling of Damon taking the blood from her veins, which were already swollen from his blood.

A tiny part of Elena wished she'd let Damon feed from her when she was human, she wasn't counting the time when Damon was mad from the werewolf bite. She wondered if it would have been this hot and sexual if she was still human and sat in the bath, him draining her blood whilst she was impaled on him. The heat began pooling in her stomach at the thought of Damon draining her and fucking her whilst she was still alive, before feeding her his blood to help her recover. She'd be lying if the thought had never crossed her mind before becoming a vampire, ever since Denver, she'd wanted to find out what it would be like.

Damon removed his mouth from Elena's neck and moved so quickly, that even as a vampire Elena was surprised by his speed, as she found they were suddenly back on the bed.

"Water was getting everywhere." Damon grinned as he kissed her, his face covered in her blood.

Damon moaned as entered her swiftly, prompting Elena to cry out in pleasure as he began thrusting inside her as heat was pooling in Elena's belly. Their kisses became frenzied as their tongues fought for dominance and Elena tugged on Damon's bottom lip with her teeth. They rolled over on the bed as Elena took charge, the rose petals were either stuck to their wet bodies or had fell off the bed from their previous love-making session. Their frenzied kisses continued as Damon cupped Elena's ass as whilst thrust upwards inside her and Elena rotated her hips in sync with his.

As much as Elena wanted to come, she didn't want it to stop, she was relishing him inside her, an emotional connection which was just as satisfying as the physical one, and she knew Damon experienced to too when they made love. It was a sensation that neither had found with any previous partners, it made the physical connection when they both came even more pleasurable. However, physical needs soon became to overcome Elena, as the heat pooling in her body began to tell her she needed to come and the feeling was becoming urgent. Damon, who was now so clued in on her physical needs, sat up, creating added friction of rubbing against her clit slightly, increasing the pressure but not quite enough.

"Yes, yes...oh my god yes..." Elena cried out. "More..more..." she panted, as Damon added a little stimulation by latching his lips onto her breast and swirling his tongue around her areola and biting down gently on her nipple. "Oh my god...Damon." she moaned.

"Oh yes...fuck...Elena..." Damon moaned into her breast as he increased the force and speed of his thrusts. "I want you to come for me, and scream." he demanded as he managed to slip his hand between them and let his talented fingers work their magic on her nub.

"Oh yes..oh yes...oh yes..." Elena panted. "Fuck...Damon." she screamed out as white hot spasms ripped through her core and her body went rigid, before beginning to shake as the power of one spasm after another took hold of her, so intense, she was convinced she was going to black out. She was brought to her senses when she realized Damon was also teetering on the edge, so she quickly turned her attention to him, enabling her to watch him come, something she hated to miss as she always thought he looked beautiful when he did, especially with the knowledge that the intense pleasure he was experiencing was all her doing.

"Fuck...Elena..." he cried out whilst his face scrunched up, as he spilled his hot seed inside her.

Elena brushed Damon's wet messy hair off his face as she looked down at him and kissed him,whilst their arms were wrapped tightly around each other, afraid to let the other one go. Elena's hair curtained them, giving them privacy in the moment of their tender kiss, as his member began to soften inside of her.

They stopped to catch their breath as Damon noticed that Elena was covered in petals and began to grin.

"What?" Elena asked as Damon cast his eyes down on her legs and she noticed the rose petals stuck to her body and began to laugh.

"I think we need to shower and clean up." he grinned as Elena climbed off Damon and they both headed towards the shower.

Stefan was stood in Liz's office waiting for her to get him the phone records between Hayley, Klaus and Professor Shane. He'd just been to see a tearful Caroline who had told him all about what had happened with Tyler and Klaus whilst he'd been on the island looking for the cure. As much as his heart was torn in pieces over Damon and Elena, he knew he had to be there for Caroline just like she'd been there for him. He smiled at how they made such a great team supporting each other, she reminded him of Lexi in the way that he could be himself around her unlike anyone with else. However, their evening had come to an abrupt end, after much alcohol, lots of talking, crying and hugs, he'd finally left after she'd received a text from Matt asking her to meet him at the Lockwood mansion. Stefan for his part, had left to go get the files from Sheriff Forbes for Damon.

As he waited, Stefan hoped Damon and Elena would have finished their bedroom activities by the time he got back. As bitter as he was, he was happy that his brother had finally found someone who made him happy and was a positive influence on him. He was just pissed off that it had to be Elena of all people, which was why he couldn't stand being in the house whilst he knew they'd be having sex. Thankfully, Elena hadn't been one of those girls who was constantly wanting sex, unlike most of Damon's conquests, and although becoming a vampire heightened a person's sex drive, he hadn't noticed anything different, if anything she hadn't been as keen as she was when she was a human. Stefan suspected her lack of sex drive relative to Damon's insatiable appetite, and her preference for missionary, might not be enough to keep his brother content for long.

Stefan knew Damon could play the monogamy game well, he'd spent the first forty eight years after becoming a vampire celibate, keeping himself waiting for Katherine. That was until he met Sage, who practically turned him into the Playboy vampire who would have at least one different woman leaving his bedroom every night. The thought of Damon's possible lack of future fidelity was what gave Stefan a glimmer of hope. He knew that Elena's love for Damon was more powerful than anything she'd ever felt for him, but if Damon couldn't remain faithful to Elena then that would mean their relationship was doomed. Even if her love for Stefan was less, he still may have a chance with her if Damon broke her heart. This was what was keeping Stefan going right now. Leave them to their own thing until it all inevitably goes wrong. He knew he should move on from Elena, but something inside him was stopping him, like a magical force stopping him. All in all, Stefan just hoped to be back long after they'd finished, he'd already been gone a couple of hours, how much time did they need? Suddenly Stefan was dragged out of his thoughts as Liz walked back into her office with a file in her hands.

"Here you go." Liz said handing the file over to Stefan.

"Thank you Liz." Stefan smiled as he flipped through the folder . "Damon will be really grateful." he nodded to her.

"Well he's not going to be grateful about what I'm about to tell you." Liz said as Stefan frowned. "The entire supply of blood from the hospital, all the reserves, gone, just vanished." she told him.

Stefan closed the file and looked up at her. "I don't understand. Are you accusing us?" he asked.

Liz sighed. "No, I'm not accusing you, but this town is at a tipping point Stefan. Any more unexplained house fires, and things are gonna boil over." she said as she looked to Stefan who looked down at the file in his hands, not knowing what to say. "I'm sorry, I know it's not your fault. It's been a rough week." she apologized as she moved around to the front of her desk. "Miranda Gilbert was one of my best friends in high school. To see what's happened to her family...With only Jeremy being the only one left alive now... it's just..." she stopped, not able to say any more.

"Look, Liz...if there's anything I can do to help, I promise I will." Stefan assured her as he placed the folder down inside his jacket pocket. "Look, I'll talk to Damon, see if knows of any other vampires in the area."

"Good. You need to." Liz said sternly. "Because whoever stole that blood put a lot of lives in danger and risks exposing all of you, my daughter included." she said as Stefan nodded in agreement. "So, who can you think of who wants blood that bad, who would be so careless?" she asked as Stefan shook his head, however the only thing he could consider an option, he hoped wasn't possible. He'd need to run his suspicion past Damon.

Elena stepped out of the shower to see that Damon had already changed the sheets and had made a start on the rose petals on the floor when there was a sudden knock at the bedroom door.

"You decent in there?" came Stefan's voice from the other side. Damon looked to Elena to see if she was comfortable with Stefan coming in whilst she was covered in just a towel around her hair and body. Stefan was lucky, if he'd have turned up ten minutes earlier he'd have been categorically told to fuck off as they were having hot sex in the shower. Elena nodded towards Damon, confirming she felt comfortable with the situation.

"Yeah, you can come in." Damon called out as Stefan walked in with a folder in his hand.

"I brought these from Sheriff Forbes..." Stefan stopped as he took in the scene around him. There were rose petals strewn everywhere, which Damon was currently clearing up. The bathroom floor was wet, although Stefan could see that someone had cleaned it, probably Damon. Fresh sheets on the newly made bed, but what caught his attention was the contents of the bath. The water was tinged a red color from what was in all likelihood to be blood. Stefan didn't know where to look, Elena was stood wearing a towel, as was Damon. They'd clearly both showered and shared a bath which had involved some kind of blood play, his sense of smell was telling him what it was, the room also reeked of sex and he wanted to get out of there are quickly as he could.. "Here." he said as he put the folder down on Damon's dresser, leaving the room in a hurry.

"What was his problem?" Elena asked, frowning as Damon noticed the bath full of red water.

"I think he noticed the blood bath." he laughed, nodding over at the tub as Elena looked over and started laughing as she walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge.

"Stefan's going to think you're corrupting me." she giggled as Damon walked over to her and stood in front of her, looming over in a predatory fashion.

"And am I corrupting you?" he growled as he pushed her back on the bed and hovered over her, his eyes roaming over the towel she was wearing, before he bit his bottom lip and opened it up, revealing her naked body.

"Not nearly enough." Elena whispered, being mindful that Stefan was somewhere in the house.

"Well it looks like I'm not trying hard enough." he grinned as he lowered his body and kissed her passionately before making his way to her jawline and nipping her ear.

Damon began to lather his kisses down Elena's neck, scraping his blunt teeth along her jugular, sending heat pooling in her stomach before focusing his attention on her collar bone, sucking and nipping his way down her chest. Soon he reached her breasts and took one in his mouth and began licking her areola and gently tugging at her nipple with his teeth before licking it with his tongue. After a few moments of devotion he made his way to the other breast and gave it exactly the same amount of attention.

Making his way further down, Damon circled Elena's navel with his tongue before continuing to pepper kisses all the way down to the tops of her thighs, where he ran his tongue along the crease of her thigh towards her core. Damon stopped just before he reached his goal and repeated the process along the other crease, anticipation was driving Elena frantic with desire. Getting down on his knees, Damon spread Elena's legs apart and blew into her entrance before he began to gently massage her clit with thumb as his tongue initially explored her core before settling in to tongue fuck her.

Knowing Stefan was downstairs, Elena tried her best to keep the noise down but Damon was doing his damnedest to make sure that Elena couldn't keep quiet, the heat was quickly pooling in her stomach and her hips were beginning to buck, a signal that she was close. Damon switched tactics and inserted two fingers inside her and began pumping his hand whilst he attacked her nub with his mouth, circling his tongue as he intermittently sucked until Elena could take it no more. Damon inserted a third finger which pushed Elena over the edge, the white hot spasms heating up her core and electrifying the rest of her body. Elena's back arched and she went rigid, as she pulled a pillow over her face so that she could scream into it to avoid Stefan hearing her, because at that point, if she had not, all of Mystic Falls would have heard her cries.

Before Elena had chance to come down from her high, Damon had removed the pillow and replaced it with his mouth as he swiftly thrust into her, nearly causing Elena to have another orgasm just from the sense of fulfillment. Damon lifted Elena's arms above her head as he stood back up and lifted her legs around his waist, holding her hips slightly in the air and continued thrusting whilst Elena lay on the bed, moving in unison with him as they both moaned with pleasure.

This may not have been Elena's favorite position for ultimate penetration and friction, however it did offer her the best view of any other position. From the angle she was at, she was able to admire the man fucking her and he was perfect, he must have removed the towel at an earlier point, but the more Elena looked at him, the more she realized he was the most beautiful man on the planet, inside and out. However, right at this moment, just looking at him turning her on even more, it had already gotten to the point where she knew she wouldn't last much longer.

"Oh yes...oh yes...oh yes..." Elena panted quietly. "I want more." she whispered. "And harder." she added.

"I'll give you more and harder." Damon moaned. "You are so fucking beautiful." he growled as he increased the pace of his thrusts.

"I'm going to come." Elena panted.

"Me too." Damon replied as his thumb found Elena's clit and began massaging it with a fervor which quickly threw Elena over the edge. The spasms exploded in her core and because of the angle she was at, they felt like they were traveling down her spine as she arched her back.

"Oh my god...Fuck Damon...Yes!" Elena screamed, this time forgetting the pillow, her core felt like it was a melting point as her contractions milked Damon's member as he came with her.

"Fuck...Elena..." Damon cried as he scrunched up is face, spilling his hot seed inside her, before collapsing on top of Elena for a moment to recover as his member softened inside of her.

After a few moments, Elena had finally managed to catch her breath. "You don't think Stefan heard that?" Elena whispered.

"I think the entire state of Virginia heard that." Damon turned to look at her and grinned as Elena tapped him on the arm playfully, prompting Damon to pull out of her and roll onto his back. "I ought to have a look at that file." he sighed, suddenly turning serious before kissing Elena on the lips and getting up off the bed. He picked the towel he'd had wrapped around his waist up off the floor and threw it into the laundry basket, before walking across the room naked, allowing Elena to admire the view, whilst he took a pair of boxer briefs out of the drawer and opened the file and began to scan through the contents frowning.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked as Damon walked into his closet and pulled out a maroon sweater and black jeans before he started to get dressed.

"Don't you think it's a little odd that the woman who helped destroy Klaus's hybrids is now in regular contact with Klaus?" Damon asked as Elena shrugged. "I'd have thought she'd have been dead by now unless she knows something that would benefit Klaus." he mused.

"True." Elena said. "You think she knows where Katherine is?" she asked.

"Maybe." Damon replied as he walked over and kissed her once more. "I better go make peace with my brother." he said. "You might want to stay up here a couple of minutes to see if he says anything." he whispered as Elena nodded before Damon kissed her one more time and left the room with the file in his hand.

Downstairs, Stefan poured himself a drink to wait for Damon and Elena to get changed and come downstairs. However he realized he might be waiting a while when he overheard a conversation between the two of them discussing what he'd seen and what his reaction was. Shocked was the only word that could describe his reaction. He'd heard of vampires indulging in blood play, those that were promiscuous used it for fetishes, couples used it as an additional emotional connection during sex. Due to his blood issues, it was something Stefan had neither been able to, or would ever be able to participate in. And although it wasn't human blood, he didn't want to risk having the same reaction as he did when he was drinking human blood, so he refrained from even trying it. But the fact that Damon and Elena were already at the stage where they were employing blood play into their sex life had surprised him. He wondered if it was for the emotional connection or to further sexual gratification on Damon's part, as he knew Elena wasn't particularly adventurous in bed. In his mind, Elena could only be summed up as 'Little Miss Missionary.' His nickname may have sounded like an insult to some, but to him she was perfect, he liked being in charge and to dictate the pace of sex. He didn't want a woman who would challenge him in that manner, apart from Rebekah, but that was a different story.

Stefan sat down and continued to wait as everything went silent for a few minutes, leaving Stefan wondering what was keeping them, however he didn't have to wonder for long when with the help of his vampire hearing, he heard the distinct sound of Elena moaning with pleasure. It was a sound he knew well as he'd been the cause of it a few times, although he had to admit probably not as loud as she was right now considering how far away he was from Damon's room. As much as he didn't want to listen, he couldn't stop himself. He knew that they'd had sex only a few minutes before he'd arrived, surely they didn't need to be having sex again. This wasn't the Elena he knew, he was beginning to suspect Damon might not be a good influence on her after all. Next thing she'd be feeding direct from the vein as a form of foreplay. Stefan began feeling more and more uncomfortable as the noises grew louder, and he began to hear Damon moaning with her. To compound matters further, and confirm their activities, he could hear creaking, which Stefan assumed, was either coming from a floorboard or Damon's bed.

The moans from Damon's bedroom suddenly turned into words between the two lovers, as they began pleading with each other for more. If this had been anyone other than his brother and his ex girlfriend, Stefan might have found this quite erotic, but considering who the participants were, it had the opposite effect. Just as Stefan was about to go and wait outside to try and escape the onslaught of the sound of sex exploding in his ears, her heard Elena scream.

"Oh my god...Fuck Damon...Yes!" he heard Elena scream.

"Fuck...Elena..." he heard Damon cry as the creaking noise stopped.

Stefan poured himself another drink, a large one this time as he hoped they'd finished because he'd never heard Elena or even Damon for that matter cry out like that before. Sure enough, five minutes later Damon appeared in the parlor, immaculately dressed, with the folder in his hands, he walked over to the wet bar and poured himself a drink.

"Took your time brother." Stefan said innocently as Damon raised an eyebrow.

"Have you looked through these?" Damon asked, trying to deflect even though he knew Stefan had heard everything, a thought that made Damon smile inwardly, as he sat on the couch opposite to Stefan who nodded.

"Klaus, Professor Shane and lots of calls to the New Orleans area." Stefan said. "You think that's where Katherine is?" he asked,

"I dunno." Damon replied. "Katherine likes to keep a low profile, and as you and I both know, there's a lot of vampires in the French Quarter." he said. "Not really a place to go to keep a low profile is it?" he asked.

"Hmm." Stefan replied frowning. "So now what?" he asked.

"We pay Klaus a visit." Damon grinned. "Well I'll pay Klaus a visit. You're still officially on his shit list and I can't guarantee your safety." he told him as Stefan scowled. "Okay, do you have any other suggestions?" he asked, as Stefan just shook his head.

"There's something else you need to know." Stefan sighed as Damon frowned. "We might have company in town." he told him.

"Come again?" Damon asked. "Hello, we're not the only vampires in town." he reminded him.

"Sheriff Forbes told me the blood at the hospital had all been cleared out." Stefan told Damon. "Reserves, everything." he said as Damon frowned.

"That's... concerning." Damon said thoughtfully. "She doesn't think it's us does she?" he asked as Stefan shook his head. Damon got up and walked over to the fireplace, clearly thinking. "Either we've got a lot of company or someone is being extremely careless." he said.

"Or we've got a two thousand year old immortal who's desperate for a drink." Stefan suggested as Damon raised an eyebrow.

"You think Silas followed us?" Damon asked.

"It would fit." Stefan said as Elena walked into the room. "But we have no proof." he added.

"Look I'll take care of Klaus, and then we'll talk about this later." Damon said as Elena walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Are you going to see Klaus now?" Elena asked looking at Damon, who nodded. "Can you give me a ride to Matt's to pick up Jeremy so we can take him home?" she asked. "I want to spend a little bit of time with him." she smiled.

"Fine. I'll meet you at the car." Damon smiled as Elena headed back to Damon's room to grab her bag.

"You be careful brother." Stefan said as Damon got up and put his jacket on to leave.

"Always am." he replied as he tapped Stefan on the arm affectionately before heading out of the door to wait for Elena.

As you know I've decided to tackle season 5 (sort of). It will be done completely differently to the show which means large changes to the season 4 version. I've now mapped out the story until the end. This is going to be a mammoth tale and would like the opinions of the reader regarding how you want me to tackle it. Would you prefer it if it became one huge story (I'm potentially only a quarter of the way through), or would you like me to split it into two or three stories.

Please either mention it in a review or send me a PM. I will continue to post this message for the next few chapters to give the chance for a bit more feedback and I'll post my decision as soon as I've made it.

In the meantime I would like to thank you all for your kind reviews. They are always appreciated.

Please like, follow review. It helps motivate me to get the chapters out quicker.
