"Stefan?" I called out as I entered the boarding house. I heard a whoosh and Stefan appeared in front of me, glaring at me.

"What's wrong, Stefan?" I asked.

"Why, Elena?" he asked me.

"Why, what?" I asked, utterly confused.

"Why are you sleeping with Damon?" he asked angrily. I froze.

"How…"

"His scent is all over you," he explained coldly. I sighed, knowing this would come eventually.

"Stefan, I…"

"Don't say you're sorry Elena. I know you're not." I gazed at him, seeing his hurt and anger-filled eyes.

"You're right," I agreed. "I'm not sorry. I'm not. I fell in love with Damon, and—"

"No," Stefan suddenly said.

"No, what?" I questioned, somewhat irritated.

"No, you're not in love with Damon," he clarified, sharply. "Yes, you're sleeping with him, but you don't love him. You love me. You can't love two people at once."

"I'm not in love with two people, I'm—" I tried to say.

"Then we agree," he interrupted again, this time with more force. "You are not in love with Damon." He turned away.

"Stefan, I don't love you anymore!" I finally blurted. "I only love Damon." I paused, silently waiting for Stefan's reaction.

Stefan turned around, his face holding an anger-filled, crazed expression. I started to get nervous, backing up slightly.

"No," he uttered. "No. NO. NO! YOU ARE MINE!"

He pushed me against the wall, pinning my arms to the wall on either side of my head.

"Stefan, please…don't do this," I begged, mentally pleading for Damon to come and rescue me.

"NO! YOU ARE MINE!" Stefan growled. His face changed so his teeth showed, and he bit down into my neck, drinking my blood.

"DAMON!" I shrieked. My head started to get woozy.

Suddenly, Stefan was thrown across the room against the wall and Damon stood in front of me, facing Stefan in a protective crouch. Stefan looked at Damon, glaring with great force.

"Go!" Stefan yelled. "Leave this town. I never want to see either of you again!"

"Why don't you leave brother?" Damon growled.

"I live here."

"So does Elena."

"I claim this town as mine, and no one else's. If I see either of you again, I'll kill you." Stefan then disappeared out of the room.

Damon turned around to inspect my bite.

"He didn't take too much," he said. "Just enough to make you a little dizzy." I nodded.

"He means it, doesn't he?" I inquired softly. "We have to leave town, don't we?"

Damon sighed, nodding solemnly.

"Let's go to Paris," I suggested. "Or maybe Moscow. I always wanted to go to Russia."

Damon stared at me with expression of confusion and surprise.

"Wait, you're okay with it?" he questioned. "You're actually okay with leaving your hometown and your friends and family, knowing you can never see them again?

"Hey, just because I can't come back here," I told him, smiling, "doesn't mean I can't see my friends and family. They can come and visit us where ever we are."

"Elena, are you sure?" Damon asked, cupping my face.

"Damon," I said. "The only thing I truly want in this world…is to spend the rest of eternity with you."

He smiled, gently kissing me on the lips. Then he pulled back, and enveloped me in a warm hug.

"You and me, babe," he whispered in my ear. "Forever."

The End

I know it's short, but it's the only way I could think of ending it. So…Ta-dah! Please leave any comments you have in the review section. Oh, and this is a late disclaimer, but I own none of the Vampire Diaries characters.
