Two.

The second time Elena Gilbert saw Damon Salvatore, he had just killed a girl. A human girl, one that she had been friends with freshman year.

Stefan was holding her back away from him, as if he could protect her from all the hurts his brother was causing, and yet she could not bring herself to look away.

It should be so ridiculously easy to turn away and simply bury her face in Stefan's chest, allow herself to cry, and let Stefan take care of it for her. If she asked him to, he would try to kill Damon. If she asked him to, he would take away the memory of this horrible day.

But she couldn't look away long enough to let it happen.

Instead, she lashed out against Stefan's restrictive hold. Tried to hit Damon. "Monster! You goddamn monster, what the hell is wrong with you? Alicia didn't do anything to you!"

All the while, Damon just stood and looked at her with a smug little smirk on his face. It only made her loathe him more. Monster. Monster.

How could anyone not hate such a demonic creature as Damon?
