Stefan POV
I see Damon sneaking around clearly up to something but I don't care the point is he is distracted I grab Elena by the wrist and lead her out of the party as quickly as I can. Just as we are approaching my car she yanks her arm free and plants her feet standing her ground.
"What are you doing? What makes you think you can drag me across a room like that? In front of the entire town… you knew tonight was important, I told you what it meant!" Taking a big breath of air after shouting at me I stare down at my shoes, there is really nothing I can say to all that and then I hear him.
"Oh, I think I can answer that."
Elena POV
I turn to the voice coming behind me and suddenly I feel the world stop spinning. It's him.
"It seems my dear brother Stefan doesn't want you to meet his big bad brother," He takes a step towards me with a shit-eating grin on his face that he is somehow able to make look sexy and extends his hand.
"I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting I'm…" interrupting him I exhale "Damon." I watch confusion dance across his face and I know he doesn't remember me although its not like I look how I did 12 years ago, he on the other hand doesn't seemed to have aged at all.
"You're real, you're… really real," I let out a giggle and place my hand on his shoulder when I confirm he's real and not a hallucination of some kind I pull myself completely against him and wrap him in a hug.
"I knew I wasn't crazy," I say into the crook of his neck and feel his arms hesitantly close around me.
Damon POV
Standing here with Katherine 2.0 in my arms I am utterly confused, she seems to know me… weirder she seems to like me, surely I would remember coming across the human clone of Katherine.
"Elena, what is going on," my brother Stefan asks, each word dripping with his own frustration. Hmm clearly he does not like seeing his girl in my arms- wait, did he say Elena? I've only ever known one Elena and it can't be… I pull back and gaze into her eyes, never ending pools of hazel and chocolate lock onto mine and for the life of me I cannot pull away.
"Elena," I whisper as if the word is sacred and I see the corners of her lips turn upwards. Making her smile feels like the greatest accomplishment of my life- this is going to complicate things.
Elena POV
"Yeah, not a little girl anymore… wait did you say brother?" I ask Damon but look back to Stefan.
"Its complicated," Stefan sighs clearly uncomfortable with the current situation.
"Its not that complicated brother, you clearly haven't said anything to Elena about me because you think I am a monster and want nothing more than to see someone stake me, you'd do it yourself but you and I both know the only thing you can't stand more than me would be to carry one more once of guilt on those brooding shoulders of yours." What the hell is Damon talking about stake? He makes it sound like he is some kind of…
"What are you?" I ask Damon and he is silent they both are "What are you!" no longer asking but demanding.
"You know," Damon answers but what I am thinking can't possibly be…
"No, I don't" Anxiety starts to flood my body and Damon comes closer to me taking my face in his hands, suddenly I feel like I am 5 years old again.
"Yes you do Elena." I study his face and utter the most insane theory I have right now, "Vampire."
