Stefan and Damon both entered the living room with Elena still wandering around the room adoring the art work and outdated furniture.

"Some of this looks like its from the 1800's" Elena said noticing certain pecices that she reconised from History where they were learning about that era. She recognised them because she was right they were from the 1800's.

"Thats because it is, Our great great great grandfather owned this house and a lot of the furniture and ornaments are from the 1800's" Stefan said giving Damon a glance almost to say don't say anything you shouldn't.

"Thats amazing your family has taken such good care of the house, and the land you own a lot of property" Elena said looking at Damon who seemed too quiet.

"So Elena do you want something to drink? Bourbon? Stefan how about you maybe something warm, fresh?" Damon said directing the question to Stefan. Elena raised her eyebrow at this, warm? fresh? How odd she thought.

Just the thought of drinking Elena's blood made Stefan loose control. "Im just going to get some air" Stefan rambled out running outside to get away from Elena's heart beat, her blood pumping through her veins, he often dreamt about what she would taste like. The truth was Stefan had been watching Elena for sometime, but what Stefan didn't know was he wasn't the first brother to meet her.

Elena was surprised at Stefan's quick exit but then again he had been lying and acting weird all day.

"Sorry about my brother he has Issues, he's very smitten, for a while there I thought he'd never get over the last one, it nearly destroyed him" Damon said with a smirk, referring Katherine.

"The last one?" Elena asked confused this being news to her.

"Yeah Katherine, his girlfriend?" Damon said knowing exactly what he was doing, causing trouble as usual. Damon took Elena's confused expression as a go ahead to continue.

"I see you haven't had the awkward Ex's conversion yet?" Damon said silently enjoying causing his brother pain.

"Nope" Elena said bluntly now feeling the urge to take her pills again. She didn't need or want any of this. "Where is your bathroom?" Elena said looking round as if it was going to be nearby.

"Its upstairs to the left" Damon said pointing the way. Elena thanked him and made her way upstairs.

Stefan having had time to cool off now walked back into the Living room. 'Where is she?" Stefan asked interrogating, he used is vampire speed to push Damon agaist the wall.

"Oh ho someones had a feed, get your daily does of bunny today?" Damon said smirking pushing his brother off him like he was a rag doll. "Please I'm so much stronger than you. You couldn't beat me if you tried, and chill she's just using the bathroom" Damon added.

"Damon I swear if you said anything to her" Stefan started warning his brother.

"I haven't said anything, well at least anything she wouldn't have already found out" Damon said pouring him self another glass of bourbon.

"Damon!" Stefan said anxiously fretting that he'd mentioned that Elena and Katherine look identical.

"I just said Katherine was your Ex and that she broke your little heart" Damon said trying to mimic Stefan's voice.

"God Damon what have you done! I would have told her in my own time!" Stefan said taking a seat opposite his brother, he ran his hands through his hair in distress.

"Right and how exactly are you going to tell her that she looks identical to Katherine, your one true love" Damon said mocking him again. "How do you think she's going to handle that exactly?" Damon said taking pleasure in the fact that Stefan was the villain in this situation.

-Mean while Upstairs-

Elena paced back and forth in the bathroom thinking about what Damon had just said to her, maybe that explained the lies and why he was acting so strange. Yes that was it, he wasn't over Katherine, it all made sense now.

"Jesus Elena you could have picked any guy and you pick the one with all the issues...great" Elena said to herself the pills seeming more and more inviting.

"Screw it I have nothing left to loose" Elena said to herself running the tap, she poured several pills into her hand, 4,5,6 she didn't count just kept swallowing. Elena sat there feeling hot and flushed as thin layer of sweat started developing as her body attempted to fight off the overdose of pills she just downed at once.

Elena splashed some water on her face to try and cool down, she patted it dry with a towel and straighten her clothes so she seemed more presentable. Elena made her way downstairs and re-entered the living room, to see Damon and Stefan sat on opposite couches.

"Your back I see?" Elena questioned trying to hide the fact she felt incredibly unwell. Damon and Stefan saw right through this.

"I just needed some air, are you okay?" Stefan asked noticing the beads of sweat forming on Elena's forehead.

"Fine thanks. I'll take that drink now" Elena stated looking at Damon.

Damon looked over Elena trying to decide wether to pour her a drink, but then looked back at Stefan remembering his promise to torture him for eternity in any way he saw fit. Damon happened to see this as the perfect opportunity.

"Sure what are we having bourbon? or maybe some wine?" Damon said flashing another one of his famous side smirks.

"Anything is good" Elena said faking another one of her well practiced 'I'm okay smiles'. Elena decided to sit down on Damon's couch rather than going near lying Stefan.

Damon handed Elena the glass and she downed it in one go passing the glass back to Damon. "Refill?" Elena asked.

"My kinda girl" Damon said with a small laugh but behind the sarcasm and bad boy act he was generally worried for Elena. Elena might not have been able to remember the first time they met but Damon did. He just wasn't ready for her to remember yet.

Damon re-filled the glass and handed it back, taking a seat next to Elena. Stefan felt the jealously and range build up inside of him. Stefan knew the only reason Elena was sitting next to Damon was because of what Damon had said about Katherine.

Elena felt great, between the pills and alcohol she had just downed she felt numb and decided to ask Stefan about Katherine. "So Katherine? Damon here tells me your not over her?" Elena said feeling slightly tipsy but demanding an answer from Stefan.

"Elena..Please can we go somewhere more private, don't let Damon get in you head, he likes to play mind games" Stefan said now perking up on the edge of his seat, leaning towards Elena willing her to go somewhere more private.

"Damon has nothing to do with this, at least he told me about Katherine, you seemed to leave that part out" Elena said getting frustrated with Stefan. Damon sat back and enjoyed the fight that was unfolding in front of him.

"I wanted to tell you ,I was going to but-

"But what Stefan, I like you I really do, I feel a connection with you and I want to try and make this work. You've had countless opportunities to tell me and you haven't" Elena said feeling extremely dizzy her vision blurring a little, she tried to shake it off.

"Elena please can we just talk about it?" Stefan said noticing Elena trying to steady herself by gripping the coffee table.

"Elena are you okay?" Damon asked now realising how unwell she looked.

"Im fine!" Elena yelled now standing up to face both boys who had worried looked plastered on their faces. "Would everyone stop asking if I'm fine, I'm brilliant, just great" Elena said squeezing the glass a little to hard, it cracked in her hand, cutting her slightly.

"Ah dam it!" Elena said dropping the glass in shock. Elena's vision blurred again she reached out for something to help her balance,but there was nothing near. Elena watched the room spin her vision now going completely as she lost control over her body, she fell to the ground with a thud her head taking the brunt of the fall. Unconscious.

"Elena" Stefan said rushing to her side to see the blood oozing from her hand... and her head. Elena's head was now pooling with blood. She was bleeding out fast.

Stefan smelt the blood and his eyes instantly veined up, and his fangs made an unwanted appearance, as he tried to fight against every instinct and nerve in his body. Everything in him was telling him to drain Elena of every once of blood she had.

Damon could see Stefan loosing control, he reacted quick seeing his brothers distress, now taking the situation seriously. "Stefan get out of here now" Damon yelled noticing the pool of blood around Elena's head, she didn't have much time.

"Damon I can't the blood.. theres so much blood Damon" Stefan said looking back down at Elena, he cradled her head looking down at his hands, they were covered in her blood.

"Stefan look at me" Damon said turning Stefan's head to look him in the eye. "That is Elena, you love her and you don't want to hurt her, now fight it brother and get out of here i'll help her, I promise... Now Go!" Damon shouted. Stefan sped off not wanting to leave injured Elena but he couldn't trust himself around her blood.

Damon made sure Stefan was gone before biting his wrist and feeding Elena his blood. He cradled her head in his lap placing his wrist over her mouth and letting the blood trickle in. "Drink Elena" Damon said worried he might be too late.

Damon noticed the pill bottle that had fallen out of Elena's pocket when she fell. "Dam it Elena, you've been taking these?" Damon questioned knowing that Elena couldn't respond.

Damon waited a few minutes,before he started to panic. Why wasn't his blood working? Damon listened carefully he could still hear her heart beating...barley.
