Hey Delena lovers!

First of all, I am so sorry for the long update! I know it's been, like, around 3 months or something making this the first chapter for 2013 but I really am sorry. School is always really busy at the start of the year (new classes, new teachers, etc.) and the weather here has been so hot! It's horrible so I haven't really wanted to sit and write in the heat but updates should be coming quicker now.

I would like to thank bellalovesedward4ever for fallowing me and adding me as a favourite author and for adding as a favourite and following my Delena one-shot smut scene (which I will probably rewrite soon). I would like to thank ElementalStorm (great name by the way) for adding Damon and Elena: Season 1 as a favourite and for DelenaKarolineNina for adding me as an author as a favourite.

Sorry if I spelt any usernames wrong or missed out on any.

I would like to say a special thank you to DamonElenas1864 for the lovely conversation we have been having via PM about Christian Grey and Damon Salvatore. And thank you to Erin Salvatore for writing the Delena one-shot I requested, 'Turnabout is Fair Play'. Check it out, it is amazing.

Sorry for the long author's note. Since ep 7 in season 4 I have decided to change the rating to M just to be safe.

Anything I make the characters think are completely by me since you can't read peoples mind on T.V. So we have no idea what the character are thinking. Like dreams, thoughts will be in italic.

Sadly I don't own Vampire Diaries nor do I own Damon : ( Vampire diaries belongs to L J Smith and the CW.

Damon Grabbed his black leather jacket from the back of a chair in the den when he heard soft footstep heading to the doorway. He turned with his jacket half on to see Elena come through the door. They stare silently at each other as Elena takes her scarf from her neck.

"I'm gonna have to change the locks." Damon breaks the silence. Not taking his eyes off her, he grabs the Grimoire from the table in front of him. "You stage a jailbreak?"

"Stefan." Elena shrugs at her the one-word answer in explanation.

"Oh, brother." Damon smirks at her, "ever the white knight."

"I convinced Bonnie to help you."

"I doubt that."

I'm not gonna say I'm sorry we got the Grimoire without you last night because…..I'm not really." Elena steps further into the den.

"Well at least you're honest."

"I was protecting the people I love, Damon. But so were you in your own twisted way. And as hard as it to figure, we're all on the same side, after the same thing."

"I'm not interested." Damon smirked again and turned to leave.

"Yes you are because you were willing to work with us yesterday." Elena pointed out in an attempt to stop him leaving. It worked. Damon turned around to face her again.

"Fool me once, shame on you." Damon narrows his eyes refusing to let any emotions show.

"Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use your compulsion on me?" Elena questioned Damon.

Intrigued Damon walked closer to here, dropping the book on a table nearby. "Who's to say I didn't?"

Elena remains silent, thinking. "You didn't." Damon crossed his arms over his muscular chest and tilts his head with raise eyebrows trying to making her second guess her assumption. "I know you didn't." Elena walked even closer to the vampire and continued speaking, "but you could have." Damon still doesn't move except for a quick blink of his blue eyes.

Elena gets closer again, "You and I…we have something." Damon looks down slightly at this, "an understanding." Damon frowns lightly. "And I know that my betrayal hurt you. Different from how it is with Stefan. But I'm promising you this now, I will help you get Katherine back." Elena finishes her little speech and watches Damon.

Damon turns his head away from her and groans then looks back at her, "I wish I could believe you."

Elena goes to plan B. She reaches up and takes off her vervain necklace and placing in on the table, never removing her gaze from Damon's. Damon watches her and his eyes follow the necklace as she places it down. He narrowed his eyes and moved closer.

"You know Anna won't stop, by the way, no matter what I do." He tells her.

"Then we'll deal with it." Damon reaches down and grabs the necklace and gently puts it back in place around her neck. "I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun." He looks in her eyes, "I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you here. Don't make me regret it." Damon looks at her for one more second then leaves with Elena.

Damon and Elena walked together though the party, both wearing black leather jackets.

"The Duke party. I forgot. I hope they stay clear of the church." Elena said worried about everyone's safety.

"You hope, not mine." Damon replies.

"Elena, hey." Matt came up to Elena and Damon with Carolina by his side.

"Elena, oh my god. Where have you been?" Carolina questions her brunette friend while she holds hands with Matt. Elena saw the joined hands and looked at Matt.

"Long story, no time to tell it." Damon smirks at them.

"I wasn't talking to you." Carolina says as sweetly as she can to Damon.

"Sure you were." Damon smirked again.

Matt interrupts, "we haven't met. I'm Matt." He holds his hand out to Damon who doesn't touch it.

"Matt, there's a reason we haven't met." Damon then turns to Elena, "you and I are going that way." He grabs her arm and pulls her away from her friends.

"I'm sorry guys." Elena apologizes for Damon's rudeness.

Damon whistled to get Stefan's, Bonnie's and Shelia's attention when he hears Shelia doubt that he will return with Elena.

"Brother. Witches." The older Brother says in greeting.

"Everything okay?" Stefan question Elena as she goes to him.

"I just wanna get this over with. Are you ready?" Elena asks Bonnie and her Grams.

"Yes." Bonnies assures her as Damon heads into the tomb.

TVD

"Air." Shelia says lighting a candle. "Earth. Fire" she lights two more.

"Water." Bonnie says handing Shelia a bottle filled with water, who then takes it and pours it between the three flames.

"That's it? Just water from the tap?" Elena question curiously.

"As opposed to what?" She asks without looking up.

"I just figured it would have to be blessed or mystical or something." Shelia smiles amused at Elena.

Stefan sees Damon pull something in a packet from his jacket, "what's that?"

"It's for Katherine. I gotta have something to get her going." Damon explains, "Unless your girl is offering up a vein." Stefan looks away from Damon at that comment.

"Admit it." Damon whispers to his little brother. He speaks normally, "you can't wait to get rid of me." He smirks.

Stefan smiles slightly and looks at Damon. "I can't wait to get rid of you."

"Mm." Damon smirks at him again.

"Were ready." Bonnie says looking at the vampires.

TVD

Bonnie and Shelia chant in a foreign language the spell to opening the tomb.

"What are they saying?" Damon questions Stefan.

"It sounds Latin." Stefan guesses.

"I don't think its Latin." Elena comments as the witches continue to chant in the unknown language, holding hands. Suddenly the flames get bigger and Bonnie and Shelia tighten their grip on each other. Elena steps closer to Stefan in case something happened.

"What's happening?" Elena questions when there is a crashing sound and everyone looks at the tomb door to see it open.

"It worked." Bonnies says in astonishment.

"Well of course it worked." Shelia tells her granddaughter.

Damon looks at his brother "Don't you have some fires to build?"

"I'm gonna get the gasoline. I'll be right back." Stefan tells his girlfriend. She nods and shines her torch on the tomb door getting a closer look. Damon warily eyes the two Bennett witches and holds his hand out to Elena.

"You ready?"

"What?" Elena asks confused by what Damon was implying.

He takes her hand and pulls her tight against his side never taking his eyes from the witches, "do you think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?"

"Don't take her in. I'll bring the walls down." Shelia threatens Damon.

"You'll bring the walls down even if I don't. You think I trust you?"

"As much as I trust you."

"Enough. Both of you. Look he needs leverage. He needs to know you're not gonna shut the door when he gets inside. I get it." Elena ends the verbal war between the vampire and witch. She turns to Damon. "I'll go."

Damon leans down to get one if the flames the witched used for the spell, "May I?" he takes it without waiting for an answer. Elena nods to her friend and follows Damon.

TVD

Damon leads Elena further into the tomb, keeping an eye out for his lover, Katherine. Hearing noises suddenly Elena stop moving, scared.

"What is that?" She asks unsure if she even wants to know.

And of course Damon knows the answer, "they can sense you. Now where is she?" Damon questions himself and uses his vampire speed to run around the tomb to search it quickly.

"Damon!" Elena calls for him to not leave her but he doesn't come back.

TVD

Damon walks out the tomb, his brother and his brothers girls close behind. When outside the tomb Stefan and Elena hug in relief, Shelia collapses from the big spell she just did with Bonnie and Damon stands, alone, on the other side.

TVD

Elena and Stefan run to Jeremy's side to check Anna left him unharmed. "He's okay, he's alright." Stefan tells her when Jeremy's groans from when he was hit in the head. Elena turned to see Damon standing nearby, looking absolutely heartbroken. Elena walks over to him with Stefan watching. For the first time ever, Elena wraps her arms around Damon shoulders hugging him to her.

"I'm sorry." Is all she says and continues to hug him while Damon just stands there, arms by his sides, letting her hugging him.
