Damon POV: (Jacksonville Airport)
I've been in Jacksonville for about 20 minutes. I finally got everything ready to be sent to the boarding house. I'm sitting on the bench waiting for the 7:30 flight. I would have turned into my crow form and fly back, but that would have taken too much of the power I might need to snap the little witch's neck. I mean, why the hell Elena would fly back especially if the witch told her I was coming, which she probably didn't. I thought as my flight was called and I sat down in the 1st class section. "The plane is getting ready to lift off, please remain in your seats at all times, Thanks you for choosing Delta Airlines." Came over the intercom. A flight attendant came into the section, leaving the curtain half-way open. I looked through the curtain, seeing a dark haired woman wearing a leather jacket, head bent over a book as she wrote, before the attendant left, closing the curtain behind her.
No, it couldn't be, but I would know my black Armani jacket anywhere. That had to be my jacket, the one I'd given to Elena. The Elena that had the silkiest hair in the darkest shade of brown I'd ever seen was always writing in a diary. It couldn't be, could it? It's just a coincidence that this young woman looked exactly like her, from the back anyway. (Hey, I wasn't complaining).But, yes, I now realized it had to be. Miss Elena Gilbert was sitting just a curtain away from me. An "Anything I can get for you?" interrupted my clouded thoughts. I looked up to see the flight attendant. "No thanks, Miss" I said with a wink as she walked off, leaving me to ponder everything that has happened over the past couple months.
Damon slowly drifted to the best sleep he had had in over 100 years, maybe the reason was that he was getting closer to the one thing he wanted, no, needed in his long life, his only reason for existing, for not turning himself into ashes, Elena.
Elena POV:
Dear Diary,
We are on the plane; we just lifted off about ten minutes ago. Bonnie is listening to her I-pod. I've just been listening to everyone talk… Oh, hang on, here comes the flight attendant…Okay, I'm back she was just reminding everyone to stay seated. Sounds like she's talking to the guy in the back, probably to…
She stopped writing mid- sentence and listened to the conversation. She didn't hear anything the flight attendant said besides, "Mr. Salvatore".
No, no, no- Why would a Salvatore be on this plane? I swear if Bonnie… She stopped that thought when she heard a husky, yet silky voice that sent shivers down her spine say "No, thanks Miss"
Oh, my freaking god, No, not Damon, it can't be. He's supposed to be in Italy, sucking the life out of some blonde, not on a plane to Virginia. She started thinking of his beautiful voice that was now echoing in her head. It was one of the things she loved about him. She also loved the way he looked at her, like his beautiful blue eyes were boring straight down into her soul, how with one look, he could cause pain, but just as easily take it away with another. How she seemed to be the only one who could really get him, break through his mask of stone, get him to show his emotion's to her, even if just for a second. I wish I would have told him how I felt when I had the chance, maybe I was just scared of what he would say. he was still thinking about him as she slowly drifted to sleep, leaning back on the seat.
Little did Elena, Bonnie, or Damon know, there was a very powerful vampire with olive green eyes hiding out in the plane's storage room reading Elena's thoughts that were now blaring in his head with his fists clenched? He wanted, so terribly to make a scene, to kill Damon and make Elena watch every minute. But, now was not the correct time to intervene, that time would come soon enough.
Elena POV: (Mystic Falls Cemetery)The Next Day
"Hey mom, Hey dad, I'm finally back home again, I know it's been awhile. I've been pretty busy, Okay, yeah , I'll admit I've been avoiding Mystic Falls because I could bump into Stefan or Damon. I'm staying at Jenna and Alaric's for a week, and then heading to Jer's for awhile. Bonnie's getting married to Matt, I know I'm just as surprised as you on that one. Speaking of Bonnie, I need to meet up with her to pick out the cake. But don't worry, I'll be back. I love you Mom and Dad, Miss you."
I finished with a tear running down my cheek. I started to get up just as a black crow swooped down, dropping something in my lap. I smiled slightly after realizing it was a deep, rich black rose and a crow's feather. Where have I seen that crow before?, I thought as I wiped the tears from my eyes and got up, now feeling a little bit better about being home.
