Elena's POV:
I was driving home when I saw it. A figure out of the corner of my eye. Before I knew it, it was running in front of my car! I slammed on the breaks, and stopped less than a foot short of hitting it. I felt relieved I didn't hit it, but soon wished I had. It was Damon.
I immediately started to drive around him when I recognized his face, but he stopped my car just using his hand. "Let go of my car, Damon." I said, trying to act brave.
"Sorry, but that's a problem. I need you for something." He said in his ever-so-arrogant voice.
"Fine. What?" I asked.
"Sacrifice." He stated, and with that I was whooshed away.
"Not again." I thought.
We were in the woods. I have bad luck with the woods, it seems.
"Sacrifice? What are you talking about?" I asked, starting to get scared.
"I have to sacrifice you to get Katherine back. Witches sure love their sacrifices don't they? Sorry, but she's worth more than some human." He said menacingly.
"No… you don't have to.. uh maybe she uh wants to be dead? Yea." I said, trying to buy myself some time.
"I doubt that. Katherine is a survivor. She just had bad luck." He chided."Now, lets get this over with before my little brother figures out you're gone."
I started to run, why me? Why did I have to look like this Katherine?
Unfortunately, it was inevitable. He caught me and immediately bared his fangs. I didn't want to die. I had been saved once, why couldn't I be saved again?
He wasted no time with dramatics and in a split second his fangs reached my neck and pierced my skin. I could feel my life draining away. I'm not going to be saved this time. I'm going to die and that's that.
I was about to give in and let the darkness take over, but he let me drop to the ground, thinking I was already dead. "Say hi to your parents for me." Damon snorted, nudging me with his boot before speeding away.
No. I had to hold on. He may think I was dead, but I wasn't. I just needed to last a little longer. But I couldn't. I gave in. I let the darkness take me over. I heard a voice just before I lost all consciousness. Was that…Stefan? He found me! But that's all I heard… and then darkness.
You can hear darkness, you know. It sounds..hollow. Like a sound that is missing something, but you don't know what. Like when you have your hopes up, and something happens to bring them down. That feeling in your stomach. If you turned that feeling into a sound, it would be the music of darkness. I don't know what happened after I blacked out that night, but I feel as though I fell into the darkness. Like I actually did die. Maybe I did, I couldn't tell you. But, In the midst of the sound of darkness, there was hope. Something urging me to hold on. It reminded me of when my parents died. I fell into the abyss, but was dragged out by something. Stefan. Stefan always dragged me out, and he would this time too. The light pulled me closer, out of the darkness. Back to life. Then I felt it. I was in my own body again! I was conscious and alive! Alive… such a beautiful word.
I slowly fluttered my eyes open, but found everything was blurred. "S-Ste-" "Shh, it's alright now." Stefan said, cutting me off. He leaned in and kissed my cheek. I smiled a weak smile, and fell back asleep. When I woke, I felt normal. I could see clear, I was ok. I was at the boarding house. Stefan was sleeping in a nearby chair. "Stefan!" I gasped, smiling. His eyes immediately opened and filled with joy.
"Elena!" he exclaimed.
I engulfed him in a hug, and he hugged me back more passionately than ever. "I love you so much. I'm never letting anyone touch you again." He promised. "I- I was worried you wouldn't wake up again. I fed you my blood and it seemed to help some but I was just so worried!" he said, not letting go. "Thank you Stefan. I love you, I always will." I said, tears streaming down my face.
Then the moment ended. Damon. ALWAYS DAMON. He stood in the doorway. Why did he have to ruin every moment I had with Stefan?
"DAMON IF YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP I WILL KILL YOU ON THE SPOT." Stefan threatened.
"Chill your man-tits. It wouldn't have worked anyways. I'm not killing your precious Elena." He assured.
"Why?What do you mean?" Stefan asked wearily.
"Apparently my witch friend lied to me. The spell book said nothing about a sacrifice. I took care of her." He stated "There's no way to bring Katherine back. I'm officially moving on."
"I don't care about Katherine, do whatever, just stay away from us." Stefan commanded.
"Fine, fine whatever. Bye Elena!" Damon sang.
Me and Stefan paid no mind to him. Stefan drove me home and I went to my room. It's funny when you get so close to dying, and your family members have no idea. You can't tell them, you have to act like nothing happened. This whole world was a secret, and I hated it. But years later, it doesn't matter.
I've since moved on. Me and Stefan are living far away from Damon. We are happy, and living life to the fullest. I told my family that we got married and moved to some remote village in Alaska so they wouldn't come looking. I guess the day may come that I have to turn to keep living my life with Stefan, but until then I don't want to think about it. We are starting fresh. I have a new life with Stefan, and I plan on enjoying every moment of it.
Sorry guys, but this is the end of the story. I know the end kind of sucks but I ran out of things to add to this story and plan on making a new one soon. Thank you everyone who enjoyed it even though it was really short! It was my first story and I hope they get better from here! Please review and critique anything you would change!
