A/N: Hey everyone!

I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries'.

Enjoy!

Elena opened the door to Damon's room with shaking hands. She had no idea what she would say to Damon when she see him. She didn't know how she will console him. If she will be able to console him. She herself could feel the pain he had felt back then, she was connected to him after all. Even though she wasn't connected to him at the present moment, she knew he was heart broken as soon as the door opened to reveal him sitting on his bed with a photo of Katherine in one of his hand and a bottle of Bourbon in the other.

"Are you fine?" Elena asked slowly approaching him. Damon looked up from his bottle to see who was there to see him. When his eyes landed on Elena, she could see the sad look in his eyes. The betrayal he was feeling. He was hurt. Badly hurt.

"I am, Elena." Damon lied just like he used to in 1864. His memories were coming back, he somehow understood himself better than before. Now, he could see the difference between Elena and Katherine. Elena was always compassionate whereas Katherine wasn't. Elena cared about him, Katherine didn't.

"Don't lie to me Damon. You know, you can't." Elena said stopping his train of thought.

"I am not. I am sure there is some good reason. Katherine would not just hurt me like this. You and I, both know I haven't got all of my memories back." Damon said still in denial. The hurt was too much that, Damon had decided to turn a blind eye toward it.

Elena had no idea what to say. She knew Katherine will hurt him badly and she wanted to tell him that, but she stopped herself. It doesn't matter if she told him or not. He would find out one way or other. She thought if Damon was hurting less thinking Katherine really loved him then so be it. She didn't want or like to see him hurting and broken.

"Maybe." Elena mummer half-heartedly.

"Yes." Damon said with excitement,"That's gotta be it. I know Katherine love me." He was smiling. Elena wanted to tell Damon the truth, but the little simmer of hope, and happiness, she saw in Damon's eyes stopped her. She can't take it away. She can't ripe smile off Damon's face. He looks so beautiful with it...Wait! Where did that thought came from?! Did I just called Damon Salvatore beautiful? No, no ways. This must be some side-effect of the spell!

Elena stumbled a little and Damon vamp-speed to where she was standing,"Hey, are you okay?" He asked as he steadied her with one of his hand around her back and the other lifting her chin,"He look at me, are you fine? Something's wrong?"

"I am fine Damon." Elena said meeting his concerned filled blue orbs,"It's just the spell. Davina told us that it will be exhausting, remember?"

"Yeah, you should rest." Damon told Elena while leading her to his four-poster bed.

The Next Day

When Elena woke up it took her mind some time to get a grip of where she was. She was still in Damon's room, she had fell asleep there only yesterday. As soon as the sleep evacuate Elena's mind all the memories; hers and Damon's, rushed back to her mind. Just thinking about the pain Damon had been through was enough for Elena to come back to her senses.

She looked around searching for Damon and when, she didn't saw him anywhere she got worried. She quickly got up and started looking for Damon in the whole house,"Damon! Damon, where are you?!"

"Down here!" Came his voice from downstairs. Elena quickly rushed there and saw Damon, Stefan and Caroline standing there by the 'blood fridge'.

"What's the matter?" Elena asked them as they were all staring at the blood bag in Stefan's hand like it was a puzzle that all of them were trying to solve.

"We were just tell Damon how much he loves animal blood." Caroline said winking at her. Elena instantly got what they were trying to do and decided to play along,"Didn't he preferred animal blood over human blood, Elena?" Caroline asked. If Damon had his memories he would never drink animal blood and they just wanted to see how he will react to this once he got his memories back.

"Yes, he did. I have never seen him drink human blood in as long as I can remember." Elena lied perfectly.

"Neither have I." Stefan added.

"Then why do we have so many human blood bags in here?" Damon asked.

"For Caroline." Stefan said,"She can't keep these at her home so she keep her stack here."

"Then why did you gave me human blood the first time after I lost my memories?" Damon asked Elena.

"You were really weak. Human blood heals faster that animal blood, that's why. If you had your memories back then, you would have refused it." She replied.

Damon reluctantly gave up and drank for the blood bag. It tasted awful. He took one sip,"How do you even manage to get this down you food pipe?" Damon asked Stefan. Stefan rolled his eyes and Damon continued drinking. He still remembered the taste of the human blood he had had a few days earlier. It tasted like chocolate or candy but this, this tasted like bitter medicine that no one likes.

"So, you ready for the spell?" Davina asked as Jeremy and Stefan arranged the candles.

After there morning 'prank' Elena had gone home, bath, put of some new comfortable cloths, and then drive back to the Boarding house. She was completely refreshed from the last night sleep in Damon's bed and the shower she had in the morning.

"I am." Elena announced.

"So am I." Damon told them.

Davina and Bonnie nodded as Damon and I took our place on the couch. When all was set, they the two witches held hand and started mumbling in some foreign witchy language.,"Clamávero ad eum caelestium spirituum venire adjuva nos." The similar feeling of the darkness eloping overcame Elena.

1864 - The Woods

Damon is running after Katherine,"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Everywhere!" Katherine answered vaguely.

"Wait for me. I want to come with you." He said as he tried to catch up to her. When he did catch up he her, he pined Katherine against a tree

"You're faster than I thought." Katherine complemented.

"Why must you always run from me?" He questioned.

"Because I know that you will chase." Katherine answered something honestly for the first time.

"Then let me chase you forever. Feed me your blood."

"I will not feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it." She cut her neck with a needle,"It is your choice to make."

"I choose you, Katherine." Damon said,"Promise me you will not tell my brother."

"I promise. It will be our little secret." Katherine promised. And with that he leaned toward her and drank her blood for the first time.

Elena was disgusted and not-so-disgusted at the same time. It was really not a sight on Elena list-to-see-in-hundred-years, but she can also fell Damon's happiness. He was truly and utterly in love with Katherine.

1864

"Katherine, are you sure this will work?" Damon asked his girl. Elena could feel the pleasure Damon felt thinking of her as his girl.

"Yes, dear." Katherine said and then stood on her toes to kiss him,"It will work." She mummer along Damon's lips.

...

Damon was laying in the middle of the road while Katherine was sitting beside him waiting for some carriage to come.

"Hey, someone's here." Katherine said as her human ears picked up a voice,"Stay still. Okay?" Katherine asked and Damon answered by nodding before closing his eyes.

When the carriage was close enough and the people in it could see the scene Katherine got up and called for help,"Please," She ran toward the carriage at human speed as it came to halt,"Please help us." When she reached the carriage she was the driver and pleaded him,"Please, my husband, he's been hurt, please help him." Damon's chest swelled as he heard those word slip from Katherine's mouth. He knew they were doing this to train him and what she was saying was not the truth but then also he felt happy.

The driver of the carriage got down to look after the "injured" man laying on the road and the passenger inside the carriage also got out and questioned Katherine,"What are you doing out here in the middle id the night? It's not safe."

"No," Katherine said in her regular voice,"No sir." Then before the gentleman could make any move Katherine bared her fangs,"It's not safe." And bit into the poor man's neck directly drinking from his main artery.

Hearing his screams the driver who was kneeling down by Damon's side turned around. He saw the passenger's dead body lying by the carriage, but did not see Katherine. He looked back to where Damon was laying, but till that time Katherine had appeared right in front of him. Her eyes became red and she drained the blood from the man who screamed for his life. She tossed him aside when she had drained him, blood drenching her chin.

"And that's how it's done." Katherine said as she wiped the front of her dress with her palms. Damon slowly and cautiously got up and looked at the two dead men.

"What happens to the bodies?" Damon asked crucially.

"Well, I'll take them into the woods and the other animals will finish them off." Hearing this Damon looked at the bodies again and then at Katherine, he felt a bit frightened,"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Katherine asked him with the blood still flowing down her chin.

Damon nodded,"I'm ready. I want you to turn me."

"When it's time. Kiss me." Katherine ordered. Damon pulled a handkerchief from his coat pocket with a flourish and moved to wipe the blood off Katherine's chin, but Katherine grabbed his hand and moved in closer,"You should get a taste." Katherine moved in closer to kiss Damon, but Damon moved away.

"Sorry." Damon said a bit ashamed that he couldn't kiss her like that.

"Don't be. Soon you won't be able to get enough." She hinted that she will turn him by saying this statement. At that Elena felt the happiness Damon was feeling at that moment. He truly did love her. Even if he didn't like something, he would do it for her. And he proved that by doing what he did next.

Damon hesitated for a moment before kissing Katherine's bloody face with a fiery passion. When Damon pulled away and the blood from Katherine's chin had smudge on Damon's lips which Katherine wipes at with her finger.

MYSTIC FALLS, 1864 - SALVATORE HOME

Katherine and Damon are under the covers in Katherine's bed. Katherine giggled loudly and asked,"What are you doing? Stop it!" Katherine pulled the covers down and Damon popped up next to her, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Make me." He challenged. Katherine rolled Damon over and straddled him, baring her fangs and hissing. Damon looked up at her with curiosity. He caressed her face and she placed her hand on top of his, smiling down at him.

All the while Elena was looking at him, inside him, searching for any sign of fear or anxiety, but she found none. Instead of it she found care and how beautiful he thought she looked.

Suddenly, someone knocks on the door,"Yes?" Katherine asked as she retracted her fangs and her eyes become normal again. She turned her head to see who's entering, but remains on top of Damon, pinning his wrists down with her hands. Emily enters the room.

"Excuse me, Miss Katherine. Miss Pearl is here to see you." She informed her.

"I'll be down soon. Please ask her to wait." Katherine told her and Emily waited to be dismissed,"Thank you, Emily." Emily exited the room, shutting the door behind her. Katherine looked down at Damon, pouting her bottom lip.

"Fun's over."

"Hmm, no." Damon caressed Katherine's face and Katherine leaned down and kissed him.

MYSTIC FALLS, 1864 - SALVATORE HOUSE

"As descendants of the Founding Families, they'll want to know that they can count on you." Giuseppe Salvatore said as he walked down his property and converse with his two sons. He hadn't told Damon and Stefan about Vampire till now. Before telling them he wanted to know they will support them.

"Of course they can. Is there any doubt?" Stefan questioned, hint of hurt seeping through his voice.

"I'm not sure your brother Damon understands the importance of duty." Giuseppe spoke, trying to Damon. But Damon had face and heard this one to many tyime to give a damn. He turned a deaf ear to Giuseppe's word.

"Damon left the Confederacy on principle. It was his choice and should be respected." Stefan defended his brother.

"You'll forgive me if I have trouble respecting a deserter." Giuseppe voiced still not giving up. God! How could a father be like this? how could Giuseppe act this cold toward his own son?! Elena thought to himself.

"Well, I never asked for your respect." Damon replied, finally getting fed up. Giuseppe stopped and faced Damon, who halted in front of his father. He had finally gotten the reaction he wanted so he used the ultimate weapon.

"Good for you, Damon. Because all I have is disappointment." He said looking Damon dead in the eyes; making sure Damon get that Giuseppe was saying this from the bottom of his heart.

Stefan felt the tension in the air and changed the topic,"You said the town is in trouble?"

"There's been too many deaths." He said breaking his staring match with Damon,"It is time for us to fight back and stop these killers."

"Killers? What are you talking about?" Stefan asked confused. He wasn't just acting, he really didn't get what his father was saying.

"We live amongst demons." Giuseppe told his sons.

"You're being cryptic now, father. Why don't you just say the word?" Damon challenged.

"Vampires." On seeing the surprise on Damon's and Stefan's face he continued,"They exist." He didn't know that know that and that wasn't the reason for their surprise,"And they live amongst us. But we have a plan to kill them. And you're going to help us." Giuseppe looked at Stefan, who nods, understandingly, trying to keep the façade when all he wanted to was panic. Giuseppe then looked at Damon, who did not make a move to indicate what he was thinking.

MYSTIC FALLS, 1864 - SALVATORE HOUSE

Giuseppe Salvatore and Katherine were playing croquet in the garden,"You can trust me, Mr. Salvatore. I would never cheat." Katherine said, hitting the ball with her mallet, knocking it through the bridge. Giuseppe sighed and Katherine giggled devilishly. Damon and Stefan approached the pair.

"I'm losing over here. Again!" Giuseppe said to Stefan and Damon, taking his turn at the game and Katherine curtsied at Damon and stopped walking and observed the game.

"She's good. I almost believe she genuinely likes him." Damon told Stefan.

"Perhaps she does." Stefan suggested.

Damon scoffed,"She knows father would have her killed if he knew the truth."

"Not if we talk to him; explained how we feel. He could help us keep her safe." Stefan finally voiced what had been in the back of his mind from quite sometime. Damon turned his body toward Stefan and faced him fully.

"Have you gone mad? No, no, father would drive the stake in her himself!" Damon panicked.

"That's not true. We can trust him." Stefan insisted.

"No, no, not with this. Please, promise me you won't tell him, Stefan." Damon said as he gripped Stefan's shoulder, needing physical contact to tell his brother he was dead serious and this wasn't just cause of Damon's differences with Giuseppe. Katherine watched them from across the garden, her smile faltering. They look over at her,"I promise." Stefan uttered.

MYSTIC FALLS, 1864 - SALVATORE HOUSE

At the Salvatore House, Giuseppe watched the Sheriff place a muzzle over Katherine and picked her up with the help of another man. Instantly Damon bolted inside the room."No! Don't take her!" Damon yelled making a move forward to stop the two men taking the love of his life.

Elena was feeling all the love and fear Damon was. Fear of Loosing Katherine. The love of his life! Elena scoffed as she thought that. Yeah the love of his life who will leave him in a few minutes!

Giuseppe grabbed Damon and slammed him against the wall. Damon struggled to free himself, but the two men carried Katherine out of the room. Katherine looked over at Damon, to weak to do anything. Too weak my a$$. Elena thought to herself. She such a good actress. She would win Film-Fare-Award if she does a movie!

"Do you know what they'll do to you if you're branded a sympathizer? You'll be killed along with them!" Giuseppe shouted at Damon but Damon just ignored him still trying to free himself. This was the first time he had shown that he care if Damon lived or died, but Damon was too overwhelmed by everything around him, so he didn't noticed that.

Damon grabbed his father by the shoulders and looked him dead in the eye,"Then let me be killed."

Damon and Elena woke up with gasps and everyone in the room looked toward them.

"Why did you stopped the spell? I am not exhausted yet." Elena asked Bonnie and Davina.

"Neither am I." Damon added.

"We also get tired, Elena, Damon. If there is a significant memory coming we feel the power change and have to take a break as to regain our full power." Davina explained and everyone nodded in understanding.

"Bonnie, I saw Emily." Elena told her.

"What? How? What was she doing?" Bonnie asked excited to know about her ancestor.

"I didn't see her for long. She just came to give Katherine a message when Katherine was with Damon. That' how I saw her." Elena said,"She's cute." She added as an after thought.

"After all, who's ancestor is she?" Bonnie asked patting herself and everyone in the room bust out laughing, including Damon and Bonnie herself.
