Hey guys! I'm back… with this really short chapter, but I promised I'd update this week. I hope I'm not too late and you're still with me. I hope you like it… It's pretty late as I wrap this up and I hope it's good enough to publish xD Enjoy!

Elena's eyes widened and tears started forming as she registered Klaus' order. She looked over at Damon's bloodied form and pained expression and she felt her heart crumble. How could she have forgotten to drink vervain? It was such a stupid thing to do, but then again she had her necklace. The one that was now on the floor. Her feet started moving towards Damon and she felt the tears roll down her cheeks.

"Klaus... Please don't make me do this!" she pleaded him. She just didn't know what else to do...

"Please! I'll do anything you want. I'll give you blood just please let go of Damon. I'm begging you!" Elena's voice echoed through the empty house as her legs were leading her closer to the two men. Klaus actually looked amused by her attempt to save the elder Salvatore. He could have more fun...

"Fine. Drop the stake, Elena and come to me." As soon as the words reached her ears Elena's hand dropped the stake and she felt her body relax a bit. Damon had been standing there in complete silence, awaiting for it to be over and when he heard Elena's pained voice and Klaus' decision he froze. That was a really bad thing. God only knows what Klaus had in mind...

"Elena..." Damon's voice came out as a whisper and she ran to his side. She cupped his face into her small hands and moved her thumb to catch the single tear that escaped his eyes.

"I hate to ruin the moment, but I believe we have some things to sort out." Elena turned around to face the smug hybrid and gulped as she thought about what would he make her do next. Klaus strode over to her and she cringed when he ripped the chains that were holding Damon up. He fell to the ground with a lound thump and Elena kneeled beside him, but was pulled away immediately. Damon couldn't move and he felt the darkness surround him and the coldness of the ground chilling him to the bone.

"I'm not going to rape you, Elena. Don't worry... I just want revenge for what Stefan did and I know just how to get that. And by the looks of it, that will be easy." He smirked at her and came closer until he was only inches away from her.

"I know you have feelings for Damon. It's pretty obvious I might add, but you just won't admit that." Klaus' words spoke volumes for Elena because he was the first one to state the fact. Everyone knew how she felt for Damon. But what did that have to do with revenge? Before she could process what he meant, Klaus' pupils dilated and she was entraped by his gaze.

"I want you to stop hiding your feelings, to stop feeling guilty because you love Damon. I want you to admit that and to not care about Stefan." Klaus compelled her and she repeated what he had said. He knew he didn't need much, he just needed to take away the guilt. He put her vervain necklace back on and she shook her head and that's when Elijah and Caroline came into the house along with a beautiful woman. Elena didn't recognize her, but Klaus seemed to know exactly who she was because his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. Caroline ran to pick up Damon's body as the mysterious woman spoke.

"Hello, Niklaus." She had a really strong accent, her blonde hair was long, her light blue eyes seemed familiar and her dress was old and dusty.

"Hello, mother" Elena gasped as she heard Klaus' words. So that was the Original witch. How could this be happening? Before she could even blink, Caroline was next to her, holding Damon's body and her emotions went into overdrive. They had to get out of here, fast! She didn't say a thing as they ran out the door. Everything happened so fast- they climbed into her car and drove to the Boarding House without even a glance back. She just wanted to get as far away from that house and to get Damon some blood.

They reached the Boarding House and Caroline jumped out and opened the back door to take Damon out. He hadn't woken up and Elena started worrying. It took Caroline only a couple of seconds to get him inside and lay him on his bed. Both girls were quiet and focused only on getting Damon some blood. Caroline darted to the basement and grabbed 4 bags of blood while Elena sat down next to him, her eyes scanning his bloodied body. When Caroline returned she handed her a blood bag and Elena hurried to open it and inserted the straw into Damon's mouth.

"Elena… are you ok? What happened back there?" Caroline tried to find out more about what did Klaus do to her, but she got no answer as Elena was desperately trying to get Damon to drink the blood. She placed a hand on her friend's shoulder, attempting to calm her down, but it was obviously in vain.

"Come on, Damon… please drink!" Elena's voice was shaky and Caroline knew that she didn't want to lose him, even though she hadn't confessed yet, she was in love with Damon she'd do anything to save him. That's when he started drinking and Elena gasped and her hand started caressing his face. He finished the first blood bag without even opening his eyes and his wounds started to heal. Elena took another one from Caroline and he drank the red liquid faster this time as he opened his eyes, his strength building up.

"Damon!" Elena sighed in relief as his eyes met hers and he took the blood bag into his hands, licking his lips as he swallowed the last gulp of 0 positive. Damon grabbed the rest of the blood bags from Caroline and drank them quickly before finally speaking.

"Thank you!" His blue eyes were soft as he looked at the two women that saved him. Elena's eyes were red and puffy- proof that she'd been crying and he reached for her and pulled her into his embrace. His wounds had healed and he felt better. Caroline watched the scene between the two of them in silence, not wanting to break the spell they were under.

"I'm so glad you're alive!" Elena whispered and tightened her grip on Damon. He kissed the top of her head and looked over at Caroline who was getting up and nodded ever so slightly as she exited the room.

"I'm glad I'm here, but I'm confused. How did we get here?" Damon had no clue as to how he got home especially after all that's been going on. He really thought that this was the night he'd die. But he could tell that Elena was tired as she slowly lifted her head to look him in the eye. He saw all the concern in her eyes and there was something else… love- the love that he'd been waiting for so long to see was there, shining brighter than the sun. As Elena met Damon's blue eyes she lost it and closed the distance between them, crashing her lips to his. He was taken aback by her action, but responded with equal passion. Her soft lips were moving over his and he loved how good that felt. His hand moved to her neck and he deepened the kiss. She opened her mouth as soon as she felt his tongue on her lips, he was not holding back now. This was not like the last kiss they shared on this bed, not like the one they had on the porch, it was a kiss that held all the love and passion they had for each other. She moved her tongue over his as she tasted the blood on his tongue and moaned as he was thrusting his tongue in and out of her mouth, teasing her. She nibbled at his bottom lip and he groaned, attacking her mouth with his talented tongue again. She responded eagerly and ran her fingers into his black locks. When he realized she still needed to breathe, he pulled back and cupped her face into his hands. She was panting, her lips swollen and her heartbeat racing.

"Elena… " He didn't know what to say. The kiss was amazing, but where did that come from? He knew that Elena had feelings for him, he just didn't think that she'd act on them. However, he wasn't complaining and he definitely wasn't going to ask her about it now and ruin the moment. He was tired and there would be time foe talking tomorrow so he took her hand in his and he climbed onto the bed, resting his head onto the soft pillows, holding Elena close.

"Let's get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow." She simply nodded and snuggled closer to him as she relished in the feeling of his body pressed against hers. He placed a small kiss on her forehead and then closed his eyes. Tomorrow they will face the world.
