The Vampire Diaries

Lost Love

Chapter 8. I Will Do Anything For You

Elena was almost at Stefan's. 'Is this the best idea?' Elena thought. Elena had blood all over her left shoulder, her neck, and her blouse; and yet she was going to her vampire boyfriends house. This scared Elena, knowing how Stefan lost control when he was drinking human blood in the past.

But she couldn't care. Who else could she go to. Her Aunt Judith. Elena laughed a little at the idea. Walking up to her Aunt, with a bitten neck and blood everywhere. "Yeah, Hey Aunt Judith! I got bit by a vampire, now what?", Elena thought.

But really, who else could she go-to?

'Yes.', Elena thought. She was almost at Stefan's house. But as she was driving, Elena started to cry all of a sudden. But there were to reason's she needed to cry. One; because she was in pain and needed Stefan beside her telling her it would be all right. But would it really? And Two; she didn't want Stefan to see her like this. Even though he had seen much worse in his life time. She still felt guilt. She was going to her boyfriend's covered in blood, bitten, crying which probably was causing black streaks to run down her eyes from mascara, and bruised, and well looking like a mess.

Now Elena was at the Boarding House. She slowly and quietly drove on the drive way and parked her car. When she got out of her car, she noticed her right leg was giving out. Probably because of kicking the hard vampire, trying to get free of his grip. She slowly limped over to the huge double doors that entered the Boarding House. She knocked faintly, weak, just enough for at least some one to hear her.

After a couple of minutes she heard footsteps on the other side of the door. Elena looked up to the sky and whispered 'Thank you.'

Slowly the one of the huge doors opened to reveal...Stefan.

Stefan looked at Elena in complete horror. Not even noticing the large teeth marks on Elena necks, but only looking at one thing. What was all over Elena's upper part of her body, blood.

Soon Stefan snapped out of it. And looked up to Elena's crying face. "Elena!" Stefan yelled as if she was far out of reach. "Stefan." Elena said, quietly, her voice cracked. Stefan grabbed her and took her in for a hug. Elena kept on crying. Then Stefan backed up from the hug to look at Elena again. He examined her body, still not looking at her neck. "Oh, Elena." He said soft. Yes, Elena was badly injured. Stefan picked Elena up, and layed her down gently on the couch in the parlor.

And in a flash, Elena was covered up in a blanket, and Stefan had a damp rag rubbing Elena red neck, which was now turning the rag red. Elena knew this must be beyond hard for Stefan.

When Stefan finished cleaned off Elena's neck from the blood. He finally noticed to huge bite marks. Stefan lightly touched them, causing Elena to flinch in pain. Stefan whipped his hand from Elena's neck. For a minute Stefan's face turned to rage. "Elena! What happened?" Stefan asked, his voice full of caution. "Did Damon hurt you?"

Elena slightly shook her neck sideways. "N-No. It wasn't you- your brother." Elena said her voice still cracking. "What all do you remember? I sware Elena, I will kill whoever hurt you." Kill, that word rang in Elena's head all night.

"I was shopping, and this man...vampire attacked me. But I got away. He didn't lo-look familiar." Elena choked out. Elena tried to sit up, but stopped only to find that her right leg was still sore and getting worse. Elena let out a small moan in pain. Stefan noticed who Elena reacted to her leg. "What's wrong with your leg?" Stefan asked. "I'm-I'm not sure. It's nothing." Elena reasurred Stefan. "That's not what it sounds like." Stefan said.

He took grip of the end of Elena's jeans. Then turned to Elena. "May I?" He asked. Elena nodded her head 'yes' in pain. Stefan slowly rolled Elena's pants leg up, searching for the weak spot on her leg. Then he saw a huge bruise on the back of her knee. "Ouch, Elena. I'll be right back, I'll go look for something to put on your leg." Stefan said racing to the bathroom with his vampire speed. Elena nodded in pain and he left. She layed her head back. She needed to sleep.

Right when Elena was about to fall into a deep sleep, she heard the front doors of the Boarding House creek. "Who's there?" Elena called, full of alert. She had, had enough 'adventure' for one night. Then Damon walked in. "Don't get so excited to see me." Damon mocked, with a smirk planted on his face. Then he took a look at Elena's leg. Damon's eyes widened. That vampire decoy had gotten her badder than Damon had thought. A part of him felt guilt, but if his plan works out it will all be fine.

"Why are you here?" Damon asked, his usual cocky, annoying self. Elena looked at him dumbfounded. "Isn't it kinda obvious?" Elena said, pointed to all the injured parts of her body. "What happened? You look like a train-reck." Damon said a let out a short laugh. "It's not funny Damon." Elena said, feeling hurt. Now here came back Damon's guilt. Damon headed over to Elena and picked up her feet, sat on the couch on put her feet on his lap. Elena didn't move, she didn't really care either. As long as Damon didn't get all 'touchy-feely'. She loved Stefan, she was getting married to Stefan.

And it was going to stay that way.

Elena tried to sit up a little. "Tonight I got attacked by a vampire Damon..." Elena said showing Damon the two bite marks on her neck. Damon just lightly nodded. "And..?" Damon asked, knowing there was more to what she was obviously trying to 'ask'. "Well-I..?" Elena paused. Damon looked serious at Elena for a second, his eyes narrowed, but soft and caring, and his face only a few inches from Elena's. "Elena. I will do anything for you." Damon said, not looking away, not even blinking.

Elena knew what he was doing. She so desperately didn't want to give in to Damon. So badly.

Elena shook her head and came back to reality. Damon smiled, as if reading her mind. Which he probably was. Elena rolled her eyes at his ignorance. "Damon I'm serious." Elena said. Damon just nodded again. "Can you like- sense or find the vampire that attacked me. I really hope the tomb vampire's haven't returned! And I really hope it's not Katherine. But I think it was a man. I'm not sure since it was dark. But Damon- can you?" Elena asked. Damon gabbed Elena's loose hand in his own. "Elena. For you- of course I will." Damon said and lightly kissed Elena's hand, not wanting to let go. But he knew he had two for two reasons.

One; He knew Elena didn't feel the same. Which pained him. And Two; Saint Stefan would be returning in about three...two-. And Damon left in the blink of an eye.

Stefan came rushing down the stairs with enough medical supplies for a hospital. "Sorry I took so long. Since I'm a vampire I don't really use all this stuff." Stefan said giving a short laugh. When Stefan looked Elena in the eyes she looked dazed; lost in her own world. "Hey, Elena. Are you alright?" Stefan asked. Elena snapped back to reality. "Oh.-. Yes, now I am." Elena said and gave a small smile.

Stefan looked concerned and full of questions. But he didn't have the time for it now.

After Stefan bandaged Elena up, everywhere possible Elena started to giggle, "I don't know how I'm going to explain all of this to Aunt Judith!". Stefan and Elena laughed. "I better be getting home." Elena said and sighed. She really didn't want to leave. She wanted to sleep in Stefan's arms. And you know-she didn't want to risk getting attacked again. "Are you sure you don't want to spend the night. Just encase?" Stefan asked, right when Damon surprisingly walked back into the room like he was never here. "Oh yes, slumber-party with Elena." Damon said and smirked.

Elena rolled her eyes. "I think I will be fine." Elena said getting up. Stefan helped her up, and hugged her and kissed her forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow." Elena said and softly kissed Stefan on the lips. 'Elena is so angelic', Stefan thought. Stefan nodded as he walked away.

Elena walked past Damon slowly, giving him a 'Be nice' look. Then Elena hear a voice in her head. Damon's. 'I'll try.' Damon said. Elena rolled her eyes again and got in her car and went back home.
