A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I want to give a shout out to TwilightElena for her help in this chapter!

Elena nodded and let out a deep breath. She had been able to resist once but what happens the next time she smells a human bleeding and Stefan isn't there to help her? Can she still resist long enough to get away?

The others came running out.

"Are you all right?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm fine Jer, Stefan helped me." Elena answered. "What happen to that kid?"

"He went to the nurse. He's going to be fine. Caroline answered.

"I'm glad. I don't even want to think about what could have happen if I lost control." Elena shivered at the thought.

"But you didn't. That's what matters." Stefan reminded her.

"Yeah you're right. I'm think I'm ready to go back inside now."

"Ok let's go."

As they were walking back they noticed Matt playing basketball with a few other boys. Matt noticed them and stopped. The other boy wolf whistled.

"See something you like boys?" Lexi asked.

"Yeah!" one of them yelled.

"Forget it guys, they….they aren't normal." Matt said.

"Who cares they're hot."

"Shut up!" Matt growled.

"Why you still have feelings for Forbes over there." Boy two said.

"No, not anymore! As far as I'm concerned she's dead to me" Matt said looking right at Caroline.

Caroline looked down. Yeah she was technically dead but that didn't mean Matt had to say that.

One of the other guys pushed Matt hard.

"Dude, she's hot don't say that!"

"Don't push me I can say whatever I want."

The two boy ended up getting into a fight. Matt ended up losing and ended up on the floor as the others walked away. Elena felt bad and went over to him. He knelt down by his side.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

"Fine, just leave me alone."

"Matt, please don't….."

She was cut off by a strong smell. The burning in her throat returned and she noticed Matt had cut his leg and was bleeding. He lifted his pants leg to reveal the blood. He gently touched the wound.

"Great, just what I don't need right now."

"Oh my…."

Elena froze, how could she just leave Matt alone when he was hurt, she had always been there for him. She couldn't leave him.

"You're face…" he said suddenly "No, it's not possible. You can't be….Elena you were the one person I thought would always stay normal and now you're…you're one of them."

"Matt listen…let me help you"

Elena reached out to touch him, she was in control, the blood wasn't winning this time. She ignored the burning in her throat for the good of her friend.

"No! Get away from me you monster!" Matt said as he pushed Elena away from him getting his blood on her hands. Matt stood and ran off. Elena stared at her hands and before she knew what she was doing she heard everyone calling her name.

"ELENA STOP!"

"ELENA DON'T!"

She felt arms pulling her back and she realized she had just tried to attack Matt. She had grabbed him nearly biting into his neck.

"Oh my gosh….Matt I'm…."

"Don't even try! I can't believe you of all people made the change. Your father spent years telling us how dangerous they were. He hated vampires more than anything or anyone else in this world and now you are one. Your father, if he were alive, he'd hate you right now Elena, he'd hate what you have become!"

"Matt…." Caroline started but was cut off.

"Don't even both trying to compel me. I'm on vervain."

With that Matt took off.

Stefan looked to Elena.

"Are you all right?"

She just looked down at her hands, they still had Matt's blood on them. She was shaking as she cried. What had she done? She almost attacked her best friend. If Stefan hadn't stopped her she could have killed Matt, what was going to stop her from killing Jeremy if he ever got hurt?

"I'm sorry I need to go." She whimpered.

"Let me take you home." Stefan said.

"No, I need to be alone."

With that she took off running as fast as she could. Stefan sighed, he knew he wouldn't be able to catch up with her, he also knew even if he did reach her she'd pull away.

"Why are you all standing here, go after her." Jeremy said.

"No, she needs to be alone Jeremy. She needs to think." Stefan said. "Just give her some space, if she isn't back by the time school lets out I'll go look for her but she needs time to think about what just happen. I think Matt really upset her bringing your father into this."

Jeremy sighed, he didn't like leaving his sister alone when she was upset and hurting but he knew he'd never be able to catch up with her.

(A/N TwilightElena wrote this scene)

Elena was running through the woods when suddenly she bumped into someone and stumbled back.

"Damon." She said dryly.

"You know if you were human, you would have fallen down."

"Well I am not human anymore because of you."

"I know." He stated proudly. "I like you better this way." He moved to touch a strand of her hair.

"Don't touch me." She pushed his hand away.

"Don't worry Elena, I don't want to hurt you."

"Right."

"Really, I'm here to help you."

"How are you going to help me?"

"You will see. Just don't move." A second later he was gone, another second passed and he was back. He had someone with him. It was a blonde haired young woman.

"Damon. What are you going to do?"

"Me? Nothing. This is all you Elena. This is your dinner. I can tell by the look in your eyes you want her, and by the blood on your hands I'm guessing she wouldn't be the first one."

"I've never bitten anyone before, I'm not going to start now. The blood on my hands doesn't mean anything."

"Don't worry; I compelled her to not be afraid and not to scream. I know you like it better that way."

"Damon. Keep her away from me. I don't want her."

"Sure you do." He pushed the woman closer to her and grinned. He could see the way Elena was fighting her natural instincts. All she needed was a little push. He smirked at her before leaning in and gently biting the girl's neck. He didn't want to take a lot, just break the skin; he wanted Elena to have some fun.

"Damon don't." Her voice seemed stressed.

"Come on Elena. You know you want it." He purred as he stood behind Elena. He placed his hands on her shoulders and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "I already tasted her Elena, she's delicious."

He watched as Elena took deep breaths trying to control herself but it wasn't working. Her fists were at her sides clenched into tight fists. She let out a scream and shut her eyes tight.

"Don't fight it Elena, you know it is going to taste good."

"I can't kill her Damon." She whispered with her eyes shut tight.

"You won't. I'll stop you."

"How can I trust you?"

"I care about you Elena, you know that."

"Damon. Just stop please."

"Drink Elena."

Her body was shaking and her mind was reeling, she just wanted to drink so bad.

"Do it." Damon whispered in her ear.

With that she snapped. She lunged forward and began drinking from the young girl. She moaned as the thick liquid ran down her throat.

Damon smiled as he watched her break and drink human blood.

A few minutes later the woman dropped to the floor and Elena looked at him horrified.

"You said you would stop me." She told him angrily.

"Oops." He shrugged and smiled. "You look beautiful Elena."

"Leave me alone Damon. I just want to go home!"

(A/N the rest is mine)

"You can't, at least not yet, you have to help me burry the body. It's part of the hunt."

Elena looked at the dead women and let out a small cry.

"Oh, don't cry over it. She was going to die anyway."

Elena just shook her head. Someone was dead and it was all her fault. She had failed Stefan.

"Uh-oh I smell Jeremy, better get out of here before they see what happen and blame me. I'll be back to take care of this."

Damon ran off. Elena wanted to run, Jeremy couldn't see her like this, she had blood all over her face, dripping down her chin, her eyes were blood red. She looked…she looked like a real vampire and that scared her. Using her hearing she heard Jeremy.

"Where is she Stefan? Are you sure she'd down this way? I thought she went home?"

"She did want to go home so she cut through the woods. It's the fastest way to you house."

"What stopped her?"

"I have an idea I just hope I'm wrong."

Elena whimpered he already knew. She was frozen, with shock and fear otherwise she'd run.

"Jeremy, you really should have gone home, it's not safe out here."

"I'm not leaving my sister Stefan. She needs me."

"Your blood is only going to…."

"Forget my blood Stefan! I love Elena and I want to help her I don't care about my blood!"

Elena heard a tree snap and looked up to see Bonnie, Stefan, Lexi, Caroline, and Jeremy all standing there staring at her. Jeremy's face was pure shock.

"Elena!"

He quickly went to run towards her. Elena jumped back. "NO!"

"Jeremy stop!" Stefan ordered. If she took off running they'd never catch her. He grabbed Jeremy's arm pulling his back. "Don't go near her."

"Stefan is right, if she takes off, we will never catch up with her." Lexi said.

"I want to help my sister let me go!" Jeremy growled struggling to get free.

Elena continued to back away a look of pure fear in her eyes as she continually looked at each person.

Bonnie stepped in front of Jeremy. "The only way you can help you sister is to stop. By going near her your blood is calling to her and it's making it worse you need to stop!"

"I want to help her." Jeremy said. "I can't lose her."

"I know, Stefan knows what he's doing let him do this."

Jeremy nodded. Stefan let him go and he moved behind the vampires.

Elena stopped moving once he was far enough away.

"Elena, baby it's ok." Stefan said. "It's ok, everything is ok."

She just looked to him in total fear.

"Everything is ok baby, everything is ok. Come here, just come here."

"No!" she cried moving further back.

"Ok, ok shhh don't run sweetie. Please don't run."

Elena looked at Jeremy again. Then to Caroline, Lexi, and Bonnie, lastly she looked to Stefan.

Almost as if he could read her mind he turned to the others. "Take Jeremy home."

"NO!" Jeremy said instantly.

"She's too scared with everyone here. I need to be alone with her to get through to her. You guys have to leave."

"Stefan, you might need me." Bonnie said.

"No, she's not going to hurt anyone. She too petrified to move just leave me alone with her. Get back to the house. I'll meet you all there."

"Stefan, is right. Stefan is the only one Elena has trusted through this whole process, he needs to be alone with her to help her." Lexi said.

"She needs her friends." Caroline said. "It's ok Elena, I know what you feel right now. It's scary but it's going to be ok." She stepped closer and Elena stepped back.

"Caroline stop!" Stefan growled.

Elena gasped. He was angry at her and now he was taking it out on someone else. "I'm sorry." She whimpered.

Stefan let out a deep breath. He knew he had to stay calm for Elena's sake. "It's all right baby girl. Everything is ok."

Elena just whimpered looking at the others.

Stefan looked to the others. "Please, let me be alone with her. If you don't want to go home fine just get out of here. I need to be alone with her. It's the only way I can get her to trust me."

"Why doesn't she trust us?" Jeremy asked.

Stefan hear the fear and hurt in his voice.

"She's scared Jer, she thinks everyone is going to look at her like a monster. She feels like monster right now and with everyone staring at her makes her feel like a caged animal staring at her in hate and disgust."

"How do you know?"

"Because I was in this same position before. Your sister saw me this same way and I freaked. Only I ran, I don't want her to do that because she's faster than us and we will lose her again. Jeremy look I need you to trust me. I can help your sister but you have to trust me."

"I…she's so scared Stefan. Please I want to do something."

"You can, by leaving her alone. Because you're human your blood is making things harder for her and she's fighting harder than normal and It's raising her fear. If you want to help your sister go home. You trusted me to save her when she was taken by Rose and Trevor, trust me now. Please Jeremy I understand you're scared and you want to help but the best thing you can do is to go home."

Jeremy sighed. "Ok, I'll go."

"Take him home." Stefan said to the others.

They nodded. Everyone turned to walk away. Stefan turned back to Elena, she was at the other end of the circle. If she took one more step she'd be behind too many trees to be seen. Stefan knew he had to get her away from the body but first he had to get her to trust him. He sat down and crossed his legs. Elena looked confused but did the same.

"You remember when it was me like this don't you?"

She nodded.

"I felt so scared and you looked so shocked. I hated that you had to see me like that."

Elena slowly crawled a bit closer before she stopped and didn't move. Stefan knew that was her saying she was slowly starting to trust him again.

"Then I went home, I thought you were going to break up with me for sure. I thought you'd never want to see me again but there you were. Standing in my room just as strong and brave as you always were. I gave you every reason to run, I told you I was a monster but you didn't run. Do you remember what you said to me?"

She softly nodded moving a bit closer. She was like a scared puppy approaching its owns for the first time. Just slowly and timidly approaching him.

"You said, you knew I wasn't normally like that. You knew that wasn't really me. You knew it was only the blood that made me that way. You refused to give up on me. I had you pinned to the wall nearly beating you in the head and you still didn't even flinch. You trusted me and you saw the good in me. Well it's goes both ways baby girl. I trust you and I see the good in you. I'm not angry at you. I do not feel like you failed me. I trust you and I know you didn't mean for this to happen. You helped me so please let me help you."

Elena scrambled backwards. "Please don't lock me up. I'm sorry please don't lock me up."

"Nobody's going to lock you up. I promise. You can trust me sweetie. I promise nobody's going to lock you up. I can help you without doing that."

She slowly moved back closer to him.

"I'm just going to take you home. We can clean you up then cuddle on your bed. We can even watch a cheesy chick flick movie. We don't have to talk about anything, we can just hold each other."

Elena crawled over to him and gently laid her head on his lap. He stroked her hair as she cuddled into him.

"I love you Elena, I told you if anything should ever happen I'd be waiting with a comforting hug and that's all I'm going to do. I promise you everything is going to be ok."

He stood up and lifted her bridal style. She buried her face in the crook of his neck as she wrapped her arms tightly around him. He kissed her head.

"Everything is going to be ok. I promise. I love you sweetie. Just hang in there we're almost home."

He walked away from the woods. Just as he reached the main road he saw Caroline and Bonnie.

"We're going to take care of the body. Lexi took Jeremy back home."

"Ok guys, thanks."

Stefan walked away, he didn't run, he just slowly walked back to the house. He knew Elena would want it to be that way. He knew he forgave her for what happen but could she ever forgive herself after this?

A/N are you guys speechless? I think this is one of my best chapters :) Anyway thanks again to TwilightElena for her help in this chapter. What do you think will happen to Elena? Leave me a review and let me know what you think.
