Previously on : Another Story
ELENA'S (POINT OF VIEW)
"It was a pleasure meeting you." He took her hand and brought it up to his lips. " It was also a pleasure he mumbled against my skin." Elena turned
around and headed towards the door. When her hand grasped the door knob she turned to Stefan and nodded her head in his direction , "Stefan." and
with that she left. She really didn't leave . She was standing outside the door listening to their conversation.
DAMON'S (POINT OF VIEW)
"Oh you made a huge mistake . Brother" I said. "Now only she will be able to pick between us. She will pick in the end. And stop your pitiful threats . You
are nothing compared to me. You made my human life miserable. And when I turned I told you that I would give you an eternity of misery. In the end
when she picks me . And breaks your heart and you plead with me to rip your heart out . To end your suffering. I'll look at you and laugh. Just remember
,when you decided to give up human blood and drink bunny blood. That's when I became the stronger brother." With that he began to head towards the door.
She heard Damon nearing the door. She didn't want get caught red handed. So she ran to where she was supposed to be if she went walking. What she
heard was some interesting information. She didn't know that their rivalry went to such extremes. Okay she knew that they hated their guts but not that
they wished that each other were dead. So Katherine had driven a permanent wedge in their relationship. Here she was , she was doing the same. Not to
please herself but her sister. Of course Katherine hadn't forced Elena to do any of this . She did it willingly , and now she was starting to regret it. Why
would she do Katherine's dirty work. Why couldn't she just leave and go to Klaus once and for all. So he could stop the 5oo years of looking and she could
stop torturing herself by staying away. She knew that 5oo years was more than enough time for a vampire to get over it's vampire lover. The problem was
that he was not only her lover but, also her companion, her husband, and over all her creator. How can she forget the person who gave her his love, the
person who she gave her whole heart, the person who gave her this life. This life where she must live alone because of her idiotic mistake. Where she
must roam the earth till it ends. She could always find herself a companion ,some one who would love her. That wouldn't be fair though, she would receive
love but her companion wouldn't . She would rather stay alone than have anyone suffer for her. Suffer the pain of not being loved, of never being able to
receive it from the person you love the most. It just wouldn't be fair. Before she became a vampire. She was always fair, and every opportunity that they
gave her she took it. She took advantage of what people gave her ,in the good way but still. Maybe that's why she couldn't be happy in her afterlife.
Because she was too happy in her human life. When she was happy. When she thought that she had everything. Something had to happen and mess it
up. When she fled with Katherine she had liked living in Mystic Falls. She could see her future in the small town. Then Katherine had to get caught so they
had to leave. Over the years they have past through many towns ,cities ,states ,countries, and continents. They never settle to once place. Although now
she oddly finds herself wanting to stay here a second time .When earlier this day she told Jonathan that she felt like fleeing. Then in the matter of hours
and listening to a brotherly discussion she feels the need to stay and finally settle down with her family. It felt strange for her, odd, foreign. That was it ,
the feeling was a foreign one. Now that she was walking on the narrow concrete path that led to Aunt Jenna's house . She finally had the time to sort
things out. Which she was meaning to do since a long time ago. She looked up at the sky . It was now dark, cold, and she could tell that it was about to
start raining. Totally consumed in her thoughts Elena didn't realize that a car was honking at her. Beeeeeeeeeeeeep ,beeeeeeeeeep. She looked at her
left side and saw a navy blue convertible with the top up. "Elena! Let me take you home," said Damon. Of course, she thought, only Damon would come
after her. "It's okay I'm almost home anyway," she said with indifference . " Elena come on , don't be like that. I could really use an explanation about
now." As Elena had predicted earlier. It began to rain. It wasn't the drizzle she had been expecting . It was a full blown out thunderstorm. In the
background she heard the thunder and she felt the rain hit her like a million bullets hitting you at one time. The offer that Damon made was now very
tempting since she was now soaking wet and she couldn't run to her house with Damon here. "Elena it's raining. Stop being a stubborn cookie." Elena
sighed in defeat as she walked towards the car. She opened the passenger seat and let herself in. She saw Damon from the corner of her eye reach to
turn on the heater . "It's fine ," she said, "I'm fine." "Elena how can you sit there and lie threw your teeth! I can see you shivering," he said while turning
on the heater. Elena didn't notice she was shivering until he mentioned it. She looked down and saw her small form shaking slightly. "Yeah I guess you
right. I didn't notice it." There was a long pause. She could hear him breath: inhale ,exhale, inhale, exhale. She could hear the windshield wipers trying to
wipe away the rain that was pouring down harshly. She could hear the lightning as it struck the ground beneath her. She was okay with the silence . It
gave her time to think. It gave her time to chew things over.
"Elena why were you with my brother?" Why not tell him the truth. Well except the obvious . That she was trying to get into Stefan's head. "He offended
me and was trying to make up for it." "Yeah , he was trying to make it up to you by kissing you," he muttered angrily he thought for a moment then Elena
saw his grip on the steering wheel tighten, "Unless. You know, you kissed him."
" Why would it matter to you. It was just a one night stand. You need to get over yourself!" Elena saw that they were only a few blocks away. Possibly
three maybe two. She could walk it. She didn't need to depend on someone. "Damon pull over."
" Why would I pull over?"
"So I can walk home. I don't need you Damon I don't need anyone!" She said fiercely. He pulled over but did not make any moves to unlock the doors.
" Elena you think your tough but your not. You need me . You need love. A love without secrets. I could give you that." "I'm sorry that I snapped at you .
But do you , especially you, out of all people. Think you can live with me. Be in a relationship without secrets without holding back? Because I don't think I
can." She said. She didn't need him to unlock the door. She got the little plastic piece pointing out of car and lifted it. She got out of the car and started
walking home. Leaving behind a thoughtful Damon. What she had said back there. Was partly for herself. What she meant to tell him was that she
couldn't be in a relationship without secrets, without holding back, because she herself was the one keeping secrets, she was the one holding back and it
will always be that way. Last time she opened her heart it was with Klaus and he was the only one would be able to open it again. Elena reached her
house in ten minutes. She was looking around her purse for her key. When she realized that she must have forgotten it at Stefan's house. Giving up the
search. She was about to knock on the door. When she was brutally pinned to the wall. By a certain blue eyed vampire.
