Damon watched Elena fall, heard the splash and felt her hit her on the rocky water, he used his vampire speed to run to the water's edge underneath the bridge he could smell the vervain from where he was stood, he felt Bonnie and Caroline follow him. He saw Caroline's helpless eyes, she knew.
"Cover me" was all he said before throwing himself deep into the water, he could feel all of his skin burning. Damon opened his eyes for a split second to see Elena floating in the deep water he hissed as he shut them tightly vervain could even burn his eyes, "Well that sucks" he thought as he sped towards Elena he grabbed her arms, pulled her close and surfaced, he breathed air into his lungs, then grabbed Elena's face and shoved air into her lungs before dragging her back to the bank. He felt as weak as he pushed Elena up into Caroline's waiting arms and sunk back into the water, he tried griping the muddy earth but failed and gave up when his wrist was gripped but Barbie's hand, she pulled him out the water and on to the bank. She gasped aloud at his appearance, before reaching sideways and grabbing a blood bag she had kept in her purse she ripped it open and fed it to Damon, carefully lifting his head. When he had finished and the burns were gone she crawled over to Elena and Bonnie, Bonnie had tried CPR but Elena wasn't regaining consciousness. Caroline tried to feed her blood but her lips were already freezing, she and bonnie had lost hope but Damon dragged himself over to her. He tried to revive her like the others but she still didn't wake. It finally hit Damon that he had lost her and his brother. For what seemed like the first time in a century Damon cried.
"Elena please wake up," his whole body shook as he pushed her chest harder have lost my brother not you too" Caroline and Bonnie sobbed on each other as Damon breathed harder into her mouth, seconds passed, and just as Damon gave up hope Elena gasped and spit up water, her eyes snapping open Damon pulled her torso up to help the air in her water filled lungs, she stared at Damon before her head rolled back and she fainted.
"Elena, oh my god, Damon is she okay, oh my god she's alive I can't believe it, is she goanna survive, OH MY GOD ELENA WHY DIDN'T SHE STAY AWAKE OH MY GOD!" Caroline screamed
"Barbie shut up, she fainted she's not dead! " Damon scowled at her as he picked Elena up in his arms and started walking to Caroline's car.
"Don't you tell me to shut up I was worried about her," Caroline moaned dragging Bonnie along with her up the hill toward the car, Caroline opened the car and slid in the front with bonnie next to her and Damon in the back with Elena lay across the seat , Caroline drove at 150 mph just to get to the boarding house .when they arrived Damon pulled Elena out of the car like she weighed less than a feather and was as delicate as china, he slammed the door open and walked across to the sofa to gently lay Elena down but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a figure dinking his scotch, Caroline along with Bonnie stopped as soon as Damon did sensing trouble.
The stranger turned around and said "hey, Damon remember me?"
