Damon's POV:

"Crap!", I thought after I bit Elena. I can't go one freaking day without hurting someone can I?

I looked at the scared, but helpless Elena lying on the ground. She was fading. This wasn't how it was suppose to work, I have to blackmail Stefan and… she didn't deserve that. Wait, what was I thinking? Sympathy for her? She was a reincarnation of my dead girlfriend Katherine, you can't sympathize that!

Eventually, I stopped arguing with myself and made the decision to save her… only because I needed her to blackmail though.. yea that's it. I bit into my wrist and forced it into the dying Elena's mouth. She didn't put up much of a struggle, but I guess she couldn't really .

She blacked out, but seemed alive and well. Her wounds were healing. You could hardly see where I bit her. Good.

Elena's POV:

I came back around halfway through our trip back home. He was carrying me bridal-style back to the house. I tried to move, but found that though I was healed, my strength was gone. I suppose I fainted after that, because the next thing I knew It was the next morning and I woke up feeling completely normal.

I touched my neck where he bit me, but it felt completely normal. It had healed. Wait… the memories started flooding back. He bit me! He actually bit me! What does that mean… and what was with his eyes? I was completely confused, and I feared what would happen when he came to see if I was awake. I just waited, trying to put together thoughts. I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.

Then, the door slowly opened. Damon's piercing blue eyes met mine and I couldn't help but tense up. I expected him to yell at me, or hurt me again, but all he did was stand there. I guess he expected me to start to cry, or start frantically asking questions. But, I knew better than to help him get what he wants. So I sat and waited for him to talk.

"Well. Now you know what happens when you do something stupid like run away." He stated.

Did he honestly have the nerve to say that to me?

I waited a moment, and built up the nerve to ask him what happened. "W-What exactly happened last night?" I said, holding back any tears. I would not cry in front of him, that's one thing I refuse to do.

"You honestly don't know? No clue at all?" he asked.

I stared at him blankly.

"I'm a vampire, idiot. I assumed the bite might have given me away. I must say, even though you have the same looks, Katherine was smarter than you were."

A VAMPIRE? Was he nuts?! But wait… he couldn't be. He did bite me… maybe he wasn't lying. I started to panic again. I tried to make a run for the door but it was as if he read my mind and blocked my path.

There was nowhere to run.

The tears were welling up as I realized I had no way out. No. I wouldn't cry. That's one hint of dignity I had to keep.

"Just stop, it won't work. We both know it, so let's get past that stage and start talking blackmail. I do think Stefan might be worrying about you right now wouldn't you think?"

Till next chapter! I hope I kept you all interested, I'll try to have the next chapter or two sometime tomorrow, but I think I'm done for tonight :D All reviews are loved! 3
