Elena's POV
Damon said he was alright last night but I know that he isn't telling Stefan the truth. When I was crying I noticed him looking very sad and lonely but knowing him he would never say anything. His world could be falling apart at the seams and he would always have that smile on his face.
"How did you sleep?" Stefan asked when he figured out I was asleep. He came over from the desk to the bed. I felt the bed move slightly before his arms were around me.
"Pretty good I was really tired. I think crying took a lot out of me." I smiled up at him. He was as handsome as ever. I could see his hair was still wet from being in the shower. Seeing him in front of me had always mesmerized me. He was so beautiful and he was mine.
He pressed his lips softly to mine. I felt him pull me close and cradle me in his arms. My weight was nothing to him. To him I was as light as a feather. I was still a little tired I was up worrying about Damon some times in the night. Slowly Stefan rocked me to sleep singing a soft slow song.
Stefan's POV
I had no idea what was going on with Damon. Something was wrong with him but he would die before telling me what that something was. I had tried to be the good brother and go talk to him but he told me that he didn't want to talk. I didn't push Damon though he seemed like he needed some time to himself. Damon had always been this way even as a kid he just wanted to be left alone to deal with his problems.
'Damon are you alright?' I projected the thought as far as I could. I was sure he would hear it because last night he wasn't far from the house.
There was no reply just silence. I knew that he would be fine that he just didn't want to talk to me. Now if it was Elena that had called out to him then he would have replied to her without hesitation.
I mean I saw that look in his eye last night. I don't know why whenever I fall in love with a girl he always wants her too. Maybe it was fate or maybe he just liked to see if it would irritate me.
With Elena it was different I wasn't worried with her. I knew that she was a good girl and that she loved me.
Damon's POV
I awoke to the voice of my little brother. 'Damon are you alright?'. I tried to tell him to leave me alone but for some reason I knew he wouldn't hear me. I felt weaker than normal. I had drank last night but all my muscles were weak as I jumped down from the tree almost falling when I hit the ground.
Something was wrong, very wrong. There was danger and I could feel it. I was never this weak and there was a sort of power that I could feel trying to control me.
'Stefan!' I used all my power to project that thought to him. I hope he would get it. I hated calling to my brother. I wasn't weak. He was no match for me but at the time I was weaker than him.
Before I could think anymore I was knocked to the ground. The power was so strong I knew we were in trouble. It had been the thing to make me so weak. It had drained my power away making its self stronger.
"Where are you?" I growled. I was pissed now. You don't mess with Damon Salvatore weather he is weak or not. You push me enough and I will gain the power and I will kill you. When I figured out that the power was coming towards me I ran at it. I didn't care who or what it was it would not get one step closer to Elena. It would not hurt her.
Soon I found who the power was. It was Violet. Violet was of no harm to me and Stefan. She was our cousin. Though we had not seen her since the Katherine incident I was surprised to see her. She hasn't changed at all since we last seen her. She had black eyes like me she had black hair like me and when we hung out people would think we were twins.
Last time I had saw her she was of course wearing a red dress like all the other girls but now she had traded that look in for a more up to date style. She had a tight pair of jeans a black t-shirt and a black sweatshirt on top of it and her hair back in a bun.
"Nice to see you Damon." Violet said with a smile. She has the always had that mischievous way about her.
"Hey Violet. Would you mind giving me my powers back." I asked as I gave her a smile. She knew this is why I had came.
"Had to piss you off so you would come and see me." Violet laughed. I walked up to her and gave her a quick hug as she returned my powers. We were always little partners in crime when we were little. Stefan the perfect child of course was always the one to tell.
"Stefan should be on his way here right now. I let him know that you were coming. Or that someone was coming anyways." I laughed. Sure enough a few minutes later footsteps run up behind me.
'No need for worry just Violet.' I warn before he gets fully to us and starts trying to attack her.
"Violet! How are you?" I heard Stefan's voice from behind me. I knew that he wouldn't bring Elena with him so there was no reason to look. But then a thought popped into my head. He had left Elena alone if only I could get a few minutes alone with her and maybe that might get my foot in the door.
"I will be right back and let you guys catch up." I excused myself while the two of them continued talking barely noticing that I was leaving. Violet must have understood that I needed her to stall him so she kept him talking. Stefan didn't notice a thing.
Soon I was back at the boarding house. I could hear Elena breathing through the door. She must have known something was wrong when Stefan left.
I knocked lightly on the door before entering just to give her a little warning. I found her curled in a ball in the middle of the bed with blankets wrapped around her. She looked like she could jump right out of her skin if I scared her too much. Poor little thing.
"Hello Elena." I whispered with a smile to show her it was safe.
And that is that. Hope that you guys liked it. Please feel free to comment and review I always look forward to you guys telling me how I'm doing. I hope you guys like violet too she was a kinda a sper of the moment thing. I will start working on chapter 3 in a couple of days so I have some time to thing up some good stuff.
