Damon's POV
I dreamed of Elena and I running through green field of grass. The sun beat down brightly on us. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful girl running beside me.
Then I was thrown back to the surface. The pain returned and the voices returned with it.
"Damon please wake up baby." Elena begged as if she were on the verge of dying herself. I opened my eyes slightly to show I was still here.
"I won't leave you Elena." I whispered back. I couldn't leave her could I? The pain in my chest still burned. I could see the stake was now missing from the gaping wound. Stefan was busy at work trying to get the wound wrapped and get it to stop bleeding.
"Good. Damon look at me." Elena instructed. I complied with her demand. "I love you and don't you doubt that OK?" It surprised me to hear her saying these words. How could she still love me when she loved my brother?
"I love you too." I whispered secretly saying my goodbyes without her knowing. I knew more than anyone I would never make it through this. I was tough but not cheating a death like this though.
Stefan was still busy at work and Elena was busy trying to keep me awake. I would fight as much as I could but there would be no survival for me.
"Elena he needs blood that is the only way he will make it." Stefan explained. As soon as he said these words Elena's eyes brightened and I knew what she was thinking.
Elena quickly pushed up the sleeve of her jacket. I fought to move away. I couldn't drink from her, with as much blood as I had lost I would kill her. I would never be able to stop myself from drinking her dry.
"Elena no. I won't be able to stop." I argued as I aimed the weak shoves that I could manage at her. She wasn't fazed at all she was still thinking of how she could help me when I was thinking of how I could help her live.
Stefan's POV
Whenever Elena tried to give Damon the blood he needed he would push her away. He would fight more than he should have been able to in his state. Also Elena showed no signs of giving up.
"Damon lay still!" I yelled if he moved too much he would only speed up the bleeding and he would die before we could do anything. "Damon stop fighting and just drink from her. I won't let you drink too much and neither will Violet. You need her blood more now than ever." I explained. I would never let him kill Elena we both loved her too much to let him hurt her.
"Stefan you know why I can't drink from her." Damon pleaded. He wanted her so badly at this moment but he still fought against the thirst.
"Damon I give you my word that I will stop you immediately if you start to drink too much but you need the blood right now." I explained. He kept that pleading look until I saw he was going to get no help from me.
Damon's POV
I couldn't fight this thirst that reared up inside of me tamed for much longer. It was like a wild Stalin fighting with all its might to escape. Stefan would be no help so I would have to drink from her.
My fangs inched closer and closer to her wrist until my mouth rested just over the right place in her arm. I held myself there until I no longer could. I sunk my fangs deep into her arms. She gave a quiet little squeak when my fangs pierced her soft flesh but than she went silent. Her blood tasted delicious and not only because I was so thirsty. Soon Stefan was pulling me from Elena and Violet was moving Elena away from me to clean her neck off.
Elena's eyes were almost closed and she looked like she was about to pass out any second. I could still see he saying something to Violet.
"Yes you saved him." Violet answered Elena's silent question. This made me smile. Always the same old Elena. She had just been drank from and she was still worrying about weather I needed more or if I was going to live.
I felt much better now but the pain was also returning.
"Stefan hurry up and stitch me up so we can get Elena home." I rushed. Stefan gave me the weirdest look I had ever seen.
"Are you crazy? You are the one that was stabbed through the chest with a wooden stake. She has two tiny bite marks and she is a little low on blood. She will be fine." Stefan promised. "You really do love her don't you?" Stefan asked.
"Yes I really do." I told him flatly. "How did you know?" I asked with a smile.
"The way you act with her. You would do anything for her. That along with the fact that you denied to drink from her. I don't think I have ever seen you turn down a womens blood before." Stefan smiled. He was right though. I never acted this way with anyone else except Elena. She was the one that I wanted to protect even if it meant giving my life to save hers.
Elena's eyes opened and she slow started to wake up slowly. I wouldn't doubt she had heard everything Stefan and I were talking about judging by the smile that spread across her face. She was still pretty weak, this I could tell when she tried to walk over to me.
"Damon." She whispered as she slowly made her way over to where I was laying on the ground.
"Thank you Elena." I smiled. Her gaze didn't shift from my eyes at all.
"I love you Damon. It's good to see your eyes again." she smiled.
"I love you too Elena. It's good to see you again." I smiled back.
"He will live Elena." Stefan said with a smile. I hugged Damon as close as I could without moving his chest. He wasn't leaving me and we could be together forever now. I cried as I held Damon in my arms. He was mine.
