We pulled up to the Lockwood mansion and parked in the circle drive in the last parking
spot available. The lights danced over the yard as we strolled toward the front door. Voices were
heard from the inside and music was playing but the front yard was vacant of any partiers.
Mrs. Lockwood shook our hands welcoming us into her home.
"Hello Elena. Damon." Tyler said as we passed by him.
"Hi Tyler. Looks like an amazing party." I said looking at the people dancing and talking.
Damon led me off to the far corner where the drinks were being served and handed me a drink.
"That kid really gets on my nerves." he said irritated. "Damon. He didnt do anything to you. Can you
be nice tonight, please?" I asked looking up at him.
"Yeah, sure. I will try. Doubt it though." he smirked. "Ugh! Damon." I sighed in frustration.
"Come on Elena lets grab a bite to eat and sit and visit with these nice people." Damon
said holding out his hand to lead me. I took his hand and continued out the back door. I grabbed
a plate of finger foods and sat down beside Damon. People came up to us and talked and
complimented our attire.
"Im having so much fun tonight." I said smiling," Im glad I decided
to come with you because otherwise I would be stuck at home watching TV."
"Im glad you came too. How about we go on a walk?" Damon suggested.
"Id love too." I replied walking beside him.
We walked off down the pathway to the lakeside. It was a beautiful night. The moon shown
brightly down reflecting off the lake. The cattails were swaying in the breeze, the frogs
were croaking, and the crickets were chirping out a little tune.
"Have they completed their plans of killing Katherine yet?" I asked looking back over
to the house.
"They are in the process but it seems to actually be working!" he said shocked.
"Really?" I asked. "Yeah, Caroline just tricked her into the spelled room. She isnt dead but
trapped with Stefan who has all the stakes. It wont be long now."he said listening closely.
"Im worried about my friends, Damon. One wrong move and they all die." I sighed.
He put his arm around me and pulled me to him into a comforting embrace.
"Everyone is going to be fine. Nobody will get hurt if I can help it." he leaned down to kiss
my forehead, but at the last second I moved my head up and actually kissed him.
Damon pulled away and looked at me unsure. I blushed.
"Im sorry..." I apologized turning away from him in embarrassment. But he pulled me back
facing him and kissed me again. It was the most amazing kiss I had ever received. It was
so filled with passion and love and completeness.
One of those kisses that is engraved in your mind forever. If someone ever told me last year that I
would ever kiss Damon I would have called them crazy and laughed in their face. But things had
changed; he had changed. I pulled away and smiled up at him.
I wanted to remember this moment with him forever. His face was for once not guarded, instead,
it was just filled with love.
Suddenly, I doubled over as a pain ran up and down my left arm. Shock showed on both
our faces as blood gushed from my arm. I fell over limp into his body as the pain continued
except from my side this time.
It was as if I were on fire..a neverending fire. Jeremy appeared at my side and took my hand.
"Elena! Elena! Are you okay?" he asked anxiously. "Jeremy this is no time to ask that.
Hurry and tell Stefan that he is going to kill Elena if he doesnt stop staking Katherine. I shouldve
known that she would be ready.."he said urgently.
I noticed I was lying on a picnic table and tried to sit up. I whimpered and lay back down.
I was covered in blood, if I was seen again by the party they would freak out. I grabbed for Damon's
hand and held it tightly. "Im sorry.." I said.
"For what?" he asked puzzled.
"Being here is probably tempting you." I replied pointing out the blood.
"Elena, I would never hurt you. Im controlling the hunger quite well. Luckily I ate right before we came."
he said squeezing my hand.
The pain was slowly easing away and I was more conscious of my surroundings.
"What happened to me?" I asked. "Apparently Katherine knew we were planning to kill her and got a
witch to place a spell on you so if we killed her you would die too." he said. I looked at him to see
if he was kidding.
"Well, Dang. She is smart!" I said. "Yeah she is so cunning..." said Damon," When the spell
is off I am going to kill her with my bare hands!" he threated.
"Damon dont try to be the hero..I dont want you hurt." I said sitting up and hugging him.
The wounds were completely healed by now. All that was left was the blood covering her dress.
Jeremy came running out of the house back toward us. "I told him, Damon. He is so
conflicted right now. You should go help and I will stay with Elena. Bonnie and her cousin,Lucy,
just did some spell and tricked Katherine. Bonnie was amazing! All I know is that Katherine
is unconscious and the spell is off Elena." Jeremy said sitting beside me.
I watched Damon as he disappeared into the house, worry was etched across my face.
"So you and Damon huh? I wondered how long it would take you to figure it out." Jeremy said.
"Figure what out? We just came as friends." I replied innocently.
"Figure out that you two are perfect for each other. You are soulmates, Elena. Everyone can see it.
Stop being in denial and stop lying to yourself. I want to see you happy and for you to stop
covering up your feelings." Jeremy said.
"Thanks Jer. Honestly, I do like him. A lot actually. But it will hurt Stefan.. They make everything
so complicated." I sighed.
"Do what makes you happy. Stefan can get over it." he said grinning.
"Thanks. I love you."I said hugging him tightly.
"It is what Im here for, and I love you too." he smiled.
Okay so thats what I have thus far! Hope you liked and let me know if you want me to add
anything to it because I do like your opinions. Helps me improve my writing. :)
