The next morning, Elena woke up snuggled into Damon's chest. He was laying on his back but had his right arm wrapped around her. She looked up and saw he was still sleeping. So, she slowly got on top of him and started kissing his stomach, working her way up to his neck.

Damon moaned but still had his eyes closed. When she got up to his collarbone, he opened his eyes and she stopped kissing him.

"you know, if you wanted more sex, you could have just woken me up. I would have gladly gave you morning sex. Its the best kind of sex there is." He smirked while he put his hands up behind his head.

Elena rolled her eyes and moved up forward so she could kiss him. She cupped his face with her hands and Damon ran his hands down her sides, which made her moan. Suddenly, she was on her back and he was on top.

Elena crossed her arms and glared at him. "thats not fair"

Damon smirked "well thats what you get for trying to have sex with me while Im still sleeping" he leaned down and kissed her. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and he kissed her neck. He was taking his time and she didn't like it.

"Damon! Seriously!"

Damon smirked and they made love. Not taking their eyes off of each other.

Damon rested his forehead against hers.

They were interrupted by a huge bang outside. Damon and Elena's eyes widened and they both glanced towards the window.

Damon got off of her and got his boxers and pants on and ran to the window. Part of Elena was angry, someone interrupted her and Damon, and another part was concerned about what that noise was. Sighing she got out of bed and put her panties and bra on, and grabbed his shirt.

Elena ran to where Damon was at, and she saw what looked like 30 people standing outside.

"Who-who are they?" Elena said looking at Damon.

"Klaus's elves" Damon turned around and went to get his shirt and noticed she was wearing it. He smiled and then just grabbed another one and put it on. "Ill be right back" and he left the room.

Elena was about to follow him but realized she wasn't dressed. So she buttoned up Damon's shirt and put on some pajamas. She froze "Jeremy" Elena muttered.

Elena turned around and ran into his room. He was still sleeping but had his head phones on. Elena sighed and walked over and took them off and left his room.

She went downstairs to see where Damon was. The front door was wide open. She looked out the window and saw Klaus and Damon talking. She was listening to their conversation.

D "can you take a hint? No one here likes you"

K "Ah, yes but you see? I need more hybrids and you guys are failing at getting this cure so how about you get Jeremy down here or I will burn this lakehouse to the ground."

D "You need friends, seriously. Maybe then you will stop obsessing over your damn army of hybrids."

K "Fine, Ill go, just let me call Rebekah and tell her that its okay to kill Stefan. I mean you don't care right? He tried to get with Elena and he did horrible things to split you two up. You don't care right?"

D"...fine"

Damon turned around and went back in the house. He stopped when he saw Elena. He sighed, "look, Elena, I didn't have a choice...its either Jeremy kills those vampires who can't defend themselves because Klaus told them not to or Stefan dies...my brother dies"

Elena sighed and nodded. "Ill-Ill go get him up" Elena ran upstairs and woke Jeremy up.

"What?" Jeremy said sleepily, rubbing his eyes.

"Klaus is here and he brought these vampires for you to kill and he said if we don't do it, he will burn down the lakehouse"

Jeremy immediately got out of bed. Elena went downstairs so Jeremy could get dressed.

Jeremy ran outside. Elena and Damon right at his side.

"Hello Mate"

Jeremy rolled his eyes. "I need a stake"

Klaus handed him one and Jeremy snatched it from him.

Jeremy ran and slaughtered all the vampires.

Elena tore her eyes away and buried her face in Damon's shoulder. Damon wrapped his arm around her.

Jeremy came back and wiped the blood off his face. He looked at his arm as he watched the mark grow.

"Well...how far did it grow?" Klaus said.

"Its up to my shoulder"

"Well, then we just need it to go to the other side of his chest, and we will have our map...well I have to go, Ill call Rebekah tell her to release Stefan. Although I should tell you, she wasn't holding him captive. Apparently Stefan has been spending the night at her house."

Everyone froze. "Wait, my brother is hooking up with your sister?"

Klaus smirked "pretty much"

Elena got angry and Klaus noticed it.

"Oh, come on love, are you trying to follow Katerina's footsteps. I hear she got jealous to when she found someone hooking up with one of the Salvatores while she was with the other brother."

Damon turned and looked at her. Elena shook her head "Im not jealous, Im just shocked he would take it to that level. After she just killed me and everything."

"Well, didn't Damon kill Jeremy?"

Damon rolled his eyes.

Jeremy was standing there watching this conversation about the endless love triangle between Damon, Elena, and Stefan. "ok, well, this is really boring, Im going to go inside."

Everyone watched as he went in. Elena turned to Klaus "Damon apologized for that many times, plus, he has changed Klaus. To be honest, what happens in my life, is none of your business and Im am never going to be your human blood bag again!"

Klaus glared at her. "We shall see" Klaus turned and left the lakehouse.

Elena sighed and watched him leave. Damon turned to look at her. He cupped her face, and looked at her "Im really sorry about Jeremy"

Elena nodded, "I know, don't let Klaus get to you. What he says doesn't matter. It doesn't change the fact that I still love you more than anything"

Damon smiled and kissed her. He rested his forehead on hers, "I love you to, Elena...so much" Elena smiled and kissed him back.

Their moment was interrupted when Damon groaned in pain. He fell to the floor and Elena's eyes widened when she saw a vervain dart in his back.

She bent down and got it out, and rolled him over on his back. He was unconscious "Damon!" Elena kept hitting his chest, trying to make him get up.

Elena looked up and saw two people. She recognized them both. Anger flared through her, one of them was the vampire hunter named Vaughn, while the other was Damon's less attractive, annoying brother.

Elena stood up and ran Damon's body inside the house and shut the door. "JEREMY!"

Jeremy came downstairs and was shocked at what he saw "what happened"

Elena was sitting next to Damon trying to wake him up "Stef-"

All of a sudden the door flew open. Stefan was standing in the doorway. He walked over to Elena and Damon.

Stefan walked over and picked up Elena by the throat and slammed her into a wall. "If I can't have you, neither can Damon"

Elena shut her eyes and just pictured Damon. She shut out all the noise and just pictured her and Damon sitting on a beach. She opened her eyes and didn't see Stefan in front of her. She saw no one except Jeremy who was just standing there like he was frozen and couldn't move.

She walked over to Jeremy "Jer, wh-what happened?"

Jeremy looked at her and blinked several time "I don't know. It happened so fast, I-I don't know"

"What happened...wheres Damon?"

"Well, while Stefan had you against the wall, Damon woke up. He saw what was happening, and got up slowly and threw Stefan across the room. He was weaker than Stefan though..."

"Is he ok?! Or are they ok?"

"I think so, I blinked after Damon threw Stefan into the wall, they started fighting then disappeared."

Elena nodded "ok stay here, Ill go look for them"

Jeremy nodded and went back upstairs.

Elena ran outside and didn't hear anything except for cars driving by. She searched the woods and couldn't find any clues in they had been there. She kept going further from the lakehouse and came up to a bar. Before she reached it, someone threw her against the tree.

She wanted to scream but she couldn't she just shut her eyes again. "Elena! Are you ok?!"

Elena opened her eyes and saw the dark haired gorgeous blue eyed man. She sighed and hugged Damon. Burying her face into his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and they held onto each other tight.

Elena pulled back to look at him "what happened?"

"My baby bro decided it would be fun to team up with Indiana Jones."

Elena rolled her eyes "seriously! What happened?!"

Damon sighed "Stefan tried to rip out your heart, I threw him against the wall. He threw me outside. Thanks to the damn vervain, he was stronger than me, but I was always better than him when it came to defending myself."

"did you kill him?"

"Nope, wish I would have, but I snapped his neck, threw him in the boarding house and took his ring." He held Stefan's ring up to show Elena.

"Damon, the sun is going down, he will come back and come after us."

"I know, that is why the three of us are going on a road trip"

Elena's eyes widened "what?! We can't do that!...what about everyone else at home, the cure, and that hunt...wheres that hunter?!"

"relax, I knocked him out, and put him in the basement cellar."

Elena sighed and nodded. Damon let go of her, "come on, lets go back"

...

Stefan woke up in the boarding house, he looked down at his hand and noticed his ring was gone. He heard a bang in the cellar.

He went downstairs and found Vaughn. "What happened"

"Your brother knocked me out! Now, let me out of here so the both of us can go kill him!"

Stefan squinted his eyes and sighed, "sorry, but if anyone is going to kill Damon, its going to be me." Stefan went to walk away but stopped when Vaughn said something.

"Shame, I guess your brother's girl won't get that cure. Imagine if your the one to give it to her. Maybe she will leave Damon and come back to you."

Stefan chuckled "sorry, we already have a hunter" and Stefan left. When he got upstairs night fell. He grabbed his jacket and went to start his motorcycle. When he got outside he stopped and looked at his bike. It was torn in half with a note next to it saying:

"You try to touch Elena again, it won't be your vehicle that will be ripped in half, brother"

Stefan growled and ran to the garage to get his car, but stopped when he looked at it. The windows and doors were ripped off. The steering wheel was on the front seat. Pretty much the car was totaled. He read another note.

"This, is for teaming up with the hunter to try to get me killed. The only reason your still alive is because torturing you every day is much more satisfying than death. Oh yeah, tip for later, don't go out in the sun."

Stefan growled and ripped the note and threw parts of his car around the garage.

"What are you doing?!"

Stefan turned around and saw Caroline standing there in horror.

"My brother destroyed my bike and my car, and took my daylight ring. I need a ride to the lakehouse so I can kill him."

"Are you crazy?! You tried to kill Elena, can you blame him for trying to kill you?"

"Oh, so now your on Damon's side!" Stefan came closer to Caroline.

Caroline backed up. "Why would I ever be on Damon's side?! But even you have to admit, if the situation was reversed, you would do the exact same thing"

"No, Im not going to stop until I have Elena back"

"Stefan, she loves Damon. Im sorry, but there is nothing that you or I can do about it. The sire bond broke, she still chose him and she still loves him."

"No, she doesn't love him, she loves me! She is just confused a sire bond can do that to someone after its broken, their emotions would be all over the place."

"Stefan, you need to come to terms with the fact that Elena doesn't want to be with you anymore. You need to let her go"

Stefan sighed "can you get Bonnie to give me a daylight ring"

"Only if you promise not to go after Damon and Elena?"

"I promise"

"Ok, well, you stay here, Im going to go get a ring from Bonnie"

Stefan smiled and watched Caroline leave. He went back into the house and down to the basement. He opened the cellar door and saw Vaughn sitting in the corner.

"What do you want?" he said angirly.

Stefan sighed, "I need you help, I want you to help me kill my brother"

Vaughn gave an evil smile. "well, you came to the right person.
