Damon drove up to Elena's house and opened her front door. He looked to see Jeremy standing there blinking at him. "um, you know your suppose to knock right?"
Damon rolled his eyes "where's Elena?"
"Shes upstairs crying"
Damon's heart shattered into little pieces and he ran upstairs. He walked into her room and saw Bonnie holding Elena while she cried.
Bonnie looked up at Damon and nodded.
"Elena?"
Elena quickly sat up and turned around to see Damon. "Da-Damon?"
Damon opened his arms and started to walk towards her. Elena immediately got up out of bed and they hugged each other tightly. They stood there for a while. She had her face buried in his chest while he was kissing her head and stroking her back.
Bonnie got up "I'm going to go now" and she left leaving Damon and Elena alone in Elena's room.
Elena pulled away a little to look at Damon. "why are you being nice?"
"Klaus freed me. Looks like barbie seduced him and he freed me from my compulsion." He smiled and crushed his lips to hers. He pushed her back to her bed and got on top of her. She removed his jacket and shirt, then he removed hers.
Damon started to undo Elena's jeans but got interrupted. "Seriously! At least close your door!"
Elena and Damon looked to see Jeremy standing there with his hand over his eyes. Elena turned bright red. Damon went to the door "its your fault for watching" Damon smirked and shut the door. He ran back over to Elena and finished taking hers and his clothes off.
The rest of the night was filled with soft moans. Well, Elena at least tried to be quiet, but Damon was just too good in bed.
...
The next morning, Elena was snuggled up against Damon when she heard a the front door slam. Both Damon and Elena slowly woke up and heard someone muttering.
Elena got up and grabbed her bath robe. She opened her door and saw Jeremy coming towards his room "Jeremy?"
Jeremy stopped and looked up at her. Elena swallowed and backed away. Jeremy shook his head, "Klaus is here"
Damon walked towards the door wearing his jeans. "what does he want?" Damon said leaning his arm against the door.
"it's the mark. He kidnapped me the smorning while I was jogging and he had me kill vampires or else he would kill Matt. So, I did, and my mark is complete."
Elena's eyes widened. "you mean, we can go to the cure?"
"yes"
Elena sighed and turned to look at Damon. He looked down at her "Elena, its your decision, if you want to stay a vampire, I'm okay with that, if you want to stay human, I'm also okay with that"
Elena nodded "let's go talk to Klaus first"
Damon nodded and followed Elena downstairs. Jeremy shook his head and locked himself in his room.
Damon opened the front door "well if it isn't the annoying hybrid who stalks everyone"
Klaus smirked "funny, Damon. As you must know by now, Jeremy's mark is complete, so we need to leave now. Go grab Bonnie, and we'll meet by my car"
"Klaus, if you think I'm going to be in a car with you, your insane. You would probably try to rape me"
Klaus glared at him but ignored him and turned to Elena "how about this, you come with me to the cure, or Ill just rip Damon's heart out"
Elena swallowed "ok, Ill go with you"
Damon sighed frustratingly. "fine, I'll go get packed"
"good, Ill go get Rebekah and..."
"wait! Your bringing psycho barbie?"
"yes, Damon. She wants the cure"
"human Rebekah, I can't imagine her without fangs."
Klaus rolled his eyes "ill be back later to pick the four of you up, call Bonnie" and Klaus left Elena's house.
Elena looked up at Damon and sighed "I have no other choice than to take this cure"
"Elena, take it"
Elena smiled "take it with me. Be human with me, Damon"
Damon swallowed "Elena, I can't"
Elena frowned "why not?"
"because if your human, that means I have to increase my Damon protective instincts. If Im human as well, I won't be able to protect you"
Elena decided not to push the subject any further so she just smiled and nodded "Ok, Im going to go get packed, Ill see you later"
Damon nodded.
...
Damon went back to his house and got packed. He walked downstairs and stopped. He looked around and saw Jeremy, Elena, Klaus, Rebekah, Shane, and Bonnie waiting for him. "oh, well, Im glad you all let yourselves in" Damon looked at Shane and frowned "what is Professor creepy pants doing here" Damon said looking at Elena.
"I invited him to come with us Damon. He wants his wife back"
Damon rolled his eyes "whatever, but if you try anything, Ill rip your heart out and shove it down your throat" Damon said looking at Shane.
Shane smiled "glad to know your my number one fan"
Damon glared at him as he watched Shane pick up his things. Everyone else started to grab their things.
Elena opened the front door and froze "Stefan?"
Damon's head shot up and turned around and saw Stefan standing right in front of Elena. He looked at Bonnie who looked just as shocked as he was and she shrugged and mouthed 'I don't know'
Damon turned back to Stefan "what are you doing here?"
"I invited him" Rebekah said.
"why?" Damon said.
"because, he likes me, I like him. We slept together, several times. He wasn't as good in bed as you were though." Rebekah picked up her things and walked outside to Klaus's car.
"this is all very touching, but this conversation bores me, get your things and lets go" Klaus said and he left to go to his car.
"well, if you excuse me, I have to go see my date" Stefan smirked and left.
Everyone else started walking out the front door when Elena stopped Damon. Damon looked at her confused "whats wrong?"
Elena sighed "im scared he is going to try something to split us up. I've lost you too many times, I can't bare loosing you again"
Damon sighed and brushed her hair from her face and cupped her face "I promise you, I won't let anything or anyone split us apart"
"you can't promise that, Damon, Klaus threatened to kill you. What if he actually does it?" Elena started to cry.
Damon wiped her tear away and pulled her into his embrace as she buried her head in his chest. "Everything will be okay Elena"
...
The gang arrived at the island. They hiked through the woods and set up camp when it got dark.
Elena snuggled up next to Damon. She looked up at him and saw him staring at her. She smiled and kissed him "I love you"
Damon smiled "I love you, too"
Stefan was outside and overheard their conversation. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He decided to take one of the matches they brought so they could start a fire and lit it. He walked over to Damon and Elena's tent and was ready to throw it on their tent, when a hand grabbed him.
He turned around and saw Klaus glaring at him "enough"
Stefan pulled out of his grasp and dropped the match "I thought you wanted him dead so she would turn human"
"I threatened his life, Stefan. She will turn human and if she doesn't, Ill kill him"
"Or I could save you the trouble and just kill him right now"
"you honestly think killing Damon will help you get Elena back?"
"you and I both know she doesn't love him. She is just confused"
Klaus sighed frustratingly "Stefan, as your friend, Im going to tell you the truth. She loves him, Stefan. Only an idiot would say they weren't. Why don't you stop obsessing over trying to break them up and focus on moving on? Ok?"
Klaus patted Stefan's back and walked back to his tent. Stefan sighed and walked back to his and Rebekah's tent.
Damon and Elena heard the whole conversation and Damon rolled his eyes.
"will he ever stop being such a pain in the ass?" Elena said
Damon's eyes widened but then he smirked "most likely not, now let's get some sleep"
"Just to warn you, if he tries to come within 50 feet of our tent, Im going to vervain him and leave his ass here" Elena said.
Damon chuckled "yeah, but he would survive. He would decrease the bunny population and make more furry critters hate him"
Elena laughed and kissed Damon "goodnight, Damon, I love you so much"
Damon kissed her back "I love you to, more than anything. Goodnight" He kissed her forehead and they both fell asleep.
...
The next day, Shane led everyone to the cave.
Damon and Elena were holding hands when Damon stopped walking and groaned. Elena turned to look at him "Damon?" and Damon fell to the ground. Elena looked and saw two vervain dart in him. She pulled them out and kneeled down next to him.
She looked up and saw Vaughn standing there. "Hello everyone"
"so, you all want the cure?" Vaughn said.
"Not all of us, but most of us" Rebekah said.
Vaughn laughed "well, this will suck when you find out, you can't."
"And why is that" Klaus said walking toward Vaughn.
"well, first, the cure goes to Silas. A hunter's purpose is to cram the cure down Silas's throat."
"ok, well, we will take the cure and give it to you so you can kill Silas" Jeremy said.
"you don't understand, do you?"
"understand what?" Stefan asked.
"there is only one dose" Vaughn said.
Everyone was shocked. Vaughn laughed. "oh, yes, one more thing, whoever takes the cure, won't remember anything from when they were a vampire"
Everyone froze. Klaus broke the silence.
"well, Im really sorry mate" Klaus sped to Vaughn and knocked him out. He turned to everyone else, "now, lets go"
Bonnie and Jeremy walked over to Damon and helped him stand up. Jeremy and Elena carried him to the cave. When they got there, the vervain was starting to leave Damon's system and he was able to stand on his own.
Everyone jumped down the huge hole, except for Bonnie, Jeremy, and Shane who climbed down.
"what do we do now?" Bonnie asked.
"well, there should be a perfect circle around here...here it is!" Shane said moving some of the dirt away.
Jeremy took off his shirt and Bonnie bit her lip trying not to stare at Jeremy's gorgeous body. She put her hand over his tattoo and started chanting.
Rocks began to fall and everyone got out of the way.
"Bonnie Jeremy! are you okay?" Elena said.
"yeah, were fine Elena" Jeremy said helping Bonnie up.
Elena turned around to see Klaus and Rebekah getting up. Stefan and Damon got up and Elena sighed in relief that Damon was okay.
"um, guys, a little help"
everyone turned to face Shane, who was trapped. A huge rock was on his leg. "I think it broke my leg, can one of you heal me?"
"Nope, sorry" Damon said. Damon walked towards Elena, and wrapped his arm around her waist leading her away from Shane and towards the tunnel.
"oh, come on!"
Everyone ignored Shane and followed Damon and Elena.
They reached Silas and saw a box. They tried to get it out, but they couldn't. It was stuck on Silas.
"oh my god!" Bonnie said.
"what?" Klaus said.
"he has been frozen for 2000 years, there is only one way to get that cure. He have to rise him, we have to feed him our blood"
Elena sighed and looked back at the desiccated Silas. Jeremy walked over to Silas and cut his hand on a rock. He put it over Silas's mouth and watched as the blood dripped into his mouth. Silas's arms were starting to break free. All of a sudden Silas grabbed Jeremy's arm and pulled him closer and bit into his neck.
"JEREMY!" Elena screamed. She ran over to Jeremy and pulled him away from Silas. She bit into her wrist and fed him her blood to heal him.
Klaus walked over and grabbed the cure. Rebekah reached out for it, but Klaus pulled away.
"what are you doing?"
"sorry, but, I need my hybrids" Klaus threw the cure to Damon.
Damon caught it "Elena"
Elena stood up and took the box. She opened it and saw the vial the cure was in.
"Um, guys, I suggest we get out of her before Silas kills us"
"Elena, take the cure now!" Klaus said glaring at her.
Elena took out the vial and went to open it but froze. but stopped half way. She was conflicted. She didn't want the cure, she wanted to be with Damon forever, but if she didn't, Damon would die.
Klaus sped over to Damon, and plunged his hand into Damon's heart. Elena looked up in horror.
All of a sudden, the cure was snatched out of her hand. She turned around and glared at the person.
"give it back"
Katherine smirked "sorry sweetheart, but its mine"
Katherine went to run but Stefan sped up behind her and threw her against the wall. He snatched the cure from her and snapped Katherine's neck.
Stefan threw the vial to Elena. Elena caught it and opened it but she didn't drink it.
"screw this" Rebekah said. She ran over to take the cure but stopped and dropped to the floor. She grabbed her head and started screaming in pain.
Bonnie was torturing her.
"Elena, if you don't take this cure right now, Ill rip Damon's heart out"
Elena looked at Damon. "Elena...take...take the cure" Damon said.
Elena let a tear fall down her face. She would forget all the things that happened to her. She would forget being with Damon. Making love with him. She would only remember the choice she made before she died. The choice where she chose Stefan.
Elena looked up and saw Stefan with a evil smirk. She knew what he was thinking. He would get her back and Damon would suffer watching them together.
She glared at him then turned her attention back to the cure.
"Elena, you have five seconds before I rip his heart out." Klaus said.
Bonnie stopped torturing Rebekah because she passed out. She looked up at Elena and saw the pain in her eyes. She turned her attention to Klaus.
Klaus started screaming in pain. He let go of Damon's heart and pulled his fist out of Damon's chest and Damon fell to the ground. Elena watched Klaus fall to the floor as he grabbed his head.
Elena ran to Damon "are you okay?" Damon nodded.
Stefan growled "that was clever, really, but seriously Elena. If you don't take the cure, Ill finish Klaus's job."
Elena glared at him. "Elena, just take it" Damon said.
She looked back at Damon and started to cry. She kissed him passionately and rested her forehead against is "Damon, I love you so much. Don't ever forget that, and please, don't leave me"
Damon forced a smile "I won't" He was trying to keep himself from crying. He watched as Elena opened the vial and swallowed the cure. Suddenly, her veins came out and she fell over.
Damon sighed and finally let his tears fall. "well, Damon, I hope you had fun with my girlfriend. But, now she is mine, and you will leave town"
Damon glared at him and stood up.
"Stefan! If you think Im letting you anywhere near Elena, your stupid" Bonnie said.
"Bonnie, he took advantage of her"
"No! Stefan, he didn't. and Im not going to let you lie to her."
Stefan growled and ran over to Bonnie and picked her up by the throat "you do anything and I will snap your neck"
Bonnie glared at him and Stefan let go of her.
All of a sudden, everyone heard someone cough. Everyone turned to the direction of the noise and saw Elena slowly wake up.
"Elena!" Stefan said running towards her. He helped her up.
"wh-what happened? WHere am I?"
"you were turned into a vampire. Klaus found a cure and we cured you" Stefan said.
"what? I-I don't remember being one"
"the cure-"
"I had Klaus compel you to forget everything that happened to you while you were a vampire" Stefan interrupted Bonnie.
Elena sighed and nodded "thank you, Stefan" she smiled and kissed him.
Damon watched them kiss and swallowed hard. He looked away.
Bonnie noticed the pain on Damon's face and sighed. She suddenly remembered Silas. She quickly turned around and noticed the table he was laying on, was empty. She looked around confused, but let it go. She turned to face Elena, who was smiling at Stefan.
Elena looked over to see Damon and suddenly let go of Stefan. She walked over to Damon and hugged him. "thank you, for helping me get this cure" Elena said, looking up at Damon.
Damon smiled at her "your welcome"
Stefan was glaring at the two.
Elena hugged Damon again and Damon hugged her back.
She finally let go of Damon and smiled at him. She turned to Stefan "lets get out of here...what happened?!" Elena said, noticing Klaus and Rebekah passed out.
"long story" Stefan said smiling "come on, lets get you out of her"
Damon watched as the two of them walked away. A tear fell from his face.
Bonnie walked up to him "im sorry Damon, I wish there was a spell I could do, to help her remember, but I don't know one"
Damon smiled "its okay" Damon turned away and looked at Jeremy "come on, lets get out of her"
...
Elena was snuggled up next to Stefan. She quickly fell asleep. Stefan smirked at how he got Elena back.
Later on, Elena was dreaming.
"everything that I felt for Damon before I became a vampire-"
"was magnified, your feelings for him had been magnified."
"Im sorry, I-I don't want to lie to you"
Stefan smiled "its okay, but I can't do this Elena. Not anymore"
"I know"
...
Elena was at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. She saw Damon.
"Damon!"
Damon turned to look at her "still here"
"we need to talk"
"Stefan told me about the breakup. I'd say Im sorry, but Im not"
"What did he say"
"oh you know, the guy just went on and on about it and wouldn't shut up"
"so he didn't tell you why?"
"nope, but Im sure it has something to do with you acting weird, so, why don't you tell me?"
"you"
Damon was silent "what?"
Later on, she was almost killed by Jeremy. She found out that he was a hunter and he needed to complete he mark to find the cure. So, Elena moved into the Salvatore boarding house.
Stefan left to spend the night at Caroline's house.
"you know that dance, that they did today. It kind of reminded me..."
"when we danced together"
Elena smiled and nodded. "I wanted to dance with you today"
Damon got up and took her hand. He pulled her up and walked in front of the fire place pulling her with him. They slow danced in front of the fireplace.
She rested her head on his. He twirled her around and she leaned in to kiss him.
He kissed her back. She pushed him into a wall knocking over a table. She kissed him hungrily. She stopped to rip his shirt open.
He suddenly pushed her into another wall. He held up her leg and made sure she didn't fall. Suddenly she wrapped her legs around his waist and Damon raced them upstairs to his bedroom.
They got rid of their clothes and Elena pushed Damon onto the bed, straddling him. She leaned down to kiss him. He flipped her over and pushed into her.
They made love for what seemed like hours. When Damon collapsed he rolled off of her and pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her. She snuggled into his chest and they both fell asleep.
Elena's eyes shot open. She sat up and looked around. She realized she wasn't in Damon's room. She was in Stefan's. Stefan was peacefully sleeping. Elena looked down and noticed a necklace. She remembered Damon gave it to her, when she lost the necklace that Stefan gave to her.
She touched it and went back to the dream she just had. It felt so real. She got out of bed, and went downstairs. She called Bonnie.
B "hello?"
E "hey, its me. Can you talk?"
B "yeah, sure, whats up"
E "I had a weird dream, and it felt real"
B "what was it about?"
E "it was about Damon and I. When I was a vampire, did I break up with Stefan because of my feelings for Damon?"
B "uhm...I-I...yes"
E "what?"
B "Klaus didn't compel you to forget. The cure made you forget what happened to you as a vampire"
E "why did Stefan lie to me?"
B "because, he didn't want Damon to have you, he wanted you to himself"
E "I can't believe he would do that. What else happened?"
B "you really want to know?"
E "yes"
B "Ok. You broke up with Stefan for Damon. You had sex with him. Then, we found out you were sired to him. You claimed your feelings for him were real. He didn't want to take advantage of you, so he sent you away while he trained Jeremy to find the cure. I met a Professor named Shane, he taught me expression magic. I needed it to help you get the cure. One day, you said you felt weird and that Damon was in trouble. We ran to his house and we found him dead. You cried and yelled about how much you loved him and then we knew the sire bond didn't create those feelings. You called Shane and asked him if he knew how to bring back a vampire. He said yes and he took you and Damon's body to a witch. She brought Damon back to life and the two of you spent a while alone together. When you came back, Stefan tried to break you and Damon up.."
E "how?"
B "he went into your bedroom when you were sleeping and pretended to be Damon. You woke up the next morning screaming at him to leave. He got mad and he did. He also had this other hunter named Vaughn try and kill both you and Damon. Because he said if he couldn't have you, no one can. He also had Klaus compel Damon to cheat on you and to pretend that he didn't care he hurt you. Then, Caroline fixed it. When we went to get the cure, thats when we found out that you wouldn't remember what happened to you as a vampire. There was also only one dose of the cure. Klaus threatened you that if you didn't take the cure, he would kill Damon. So, you did."
E "what did I say before I took the cure?"
B "you kissed Damon and said that you love him so much and to never forget that. You also told him not to leave you"
E "oh my god...thank you, but I have to go, process all of this"
B "I understand, goodnight Elena"
E "goodnight"
Elena hung up and stood there shocked.
"your up late"
Elena turned around to see Damon. She smiled and swallowed hard. "what are you doing up?"
"I couldn't sleep"
"Oh"
Damon smiled and poured himself a drink.
"Whats going on?'
Elena turned to see Stefan standing there "I-I couldn't sleep"
"Oh" Stefan smiled. Here lets go back to bed. Stefan pulled her arm but she pushed him away.
"Elena, whats wrong?" Stefan asked.
Damon looked up to see Elena glaring at Stefan. He couldn't help but smirk.
"what happened while I was a vampire Stefan?"
Damon froze at her question.
"wh-what do you mean?"
"I had a dream, about me breaking up with you because I wanted to be with Damon. Is that true?"
Damon's eyes widened.
Stefan turned to Damon "you compelled her, didn't you?" Stefan said angrily.
"Stef, she is wearing vervain, how could I compel her?"
"Elena, it isn't true, your just confused"
"No, Im not! Because I called Bonnie, and she told me everything. Me being sired to Damon, Damon dying. Me bringing Damon back to life. You trying to split us up. She even told me what I said to him before I took the cure. How I love him so much and to never leave me"
"Elena, its not true, Bonnie, she and I...w-we...haven't been on good...te-terms"
Elena gave him a disgusted look. "I can't believe you would do that and than lie to me about it. Were done Stefan! I don't want see you anymore!"
Stefan was speechless. He looked away.
Elena turned to Damon to see him shocked. She smiled at him and walked over to him. She cupped his face "What I said when I was a vampire. I wasn't lying. I do love you Damon"
Damon smiled. He was so happy. He got the girl he loves back.
