Ellie silently got into Alaric's car, pondering if it's really a good idea. Alaric quickly rounded the car, getting in.
Damon was nowhere to be seen.
Alaric and Ellie sipotaniosly sighed. Alaric, because he know his blue eyed friend, how he acts when he's in pain, total chaos.
Ellie? Because this who thing has been surreal. How could he still be living. A vampire? Tears pricked in her eyes as she hastily wiped them as she thought of how much pain she put him in.
He ran away from her. She bitterly thought. He ran, like she was a sickness that'll get him. He didn't look into her eyes, he didn't even look at her.
Ellie took a deep breath the even out her heart, except it came out broken. Just like how she felt.
She didn't expect him, the love of her life, to be alive, breathing. Much less run away from her.
"don't cry" Alaric muttered, his eyes on the road,
"yeah" she made out, poking her tongue in her mouth.
Silence followed.
"Alaric?" Ellie asked, straightening herself out from leaning on the window watching the greenery pass by,
"yes?"
"what happened to him?" she asked in a small voice.
"he's.." he sighed "he's been through a lot" he chose his words. "I think it's better you hear it from him, his love life haven't exactly been" he pursed his lips, "stable."
Ellie nodded. She expected as much. Was it bad that she didn't want him to move on from her, like she originally wanted?
She groaned, taking a tissue pressing it to her amber eyes.
Alaric ran his hand threw his hair, "where do you want me to drop you off?"
he asked after passing the 'Mystic Falls welcomes you" sign
"uh…I don't know"
"my place, the Salvatore's boarding house is empty though"
"empty" she raised her eyebrows.
"I'm guessing Damon isn't there..and Stefan is..Klaus took him" he sighed
"Stefan, as in, Damon's little brother?" she looked with a mask of uncertainty.
"yes…just,"
"its okay, you probably have things to do and what not" she trailed off.
"boarding house it is" he said, taking a right.
Ellie slumped in her seat. So BOTH Salvatore brother's where alive? And her own brother knew?
Then again, not like they kept in contact or anything. Ellie tiredly blew out her breath as Alaric drove by the large-house. The Salvatore boarding house.
"Thanks" she said, getting out of the car.
"Ellie?"
"yeah?"
"good luck" he said after showing her around the house, getting out, then driving away.
Ellie closed her eyes a she sunk behind the door, the tears falling freely.
She felt annoyed at herself, she felt broken, all those years trailing around with mikeal, till finally running away from him.
She pulled her knee's to her chest, completely forgetting she's in a white dress.
Ellie couldn't stand sitting in that house with Damon's scent all over it, so she washed her face, any traces of makeup before putting light kohl around her eyes.
So here she was, wondering aimlessly at night in the stretching green forest.
She just couldn't stop thinking of how Damon looked at her earlier in the day. The look of something she couldn't place on his face.
Ellie opened her amber eyes hearing tinkling of water in a distance, so that way she went.
The smell of blood and alcohol quickly filled her senses as the scene in front of her un-veiled.
A number of girls, all dead, sprawled against the ground. With random drink-bottles thrown around
Ellie crouched down to a girl in a hot pink-barley there – dress and turned her around.
She was only a teen. With puncture wounds on her neck.
Ellie took a deep breath from her mouth as she continued up. Until her view was met with a fairly large lake.
"it's beautiful, isn't it" Damon's voice slurred beside's her as she turned around to face him.
"you could have picked better you know" she said, jerking her thumb towards the dead girls.
"but I picked you" his blue's met her Amber ones, a twinkle of something in his eyes.
"plain old me.."
"you aren't plain Ellie" he said, putting his hands on her shoulder "you are more that what I deserve"
She shook her head, tears threatening to spill as the moon shone brightly between them. A perfect reflection on the clear waters.
"you know the petrova doppelganger? Katherine?"
Pain shown on Ellie's face as she nodded yes,
"I thought I loved her"
"Katarina doesn't love" she shook her head, her lip trembling
"she was nothing like you Ellie. Nothing" he reached out as he stroked her cheek, wiping a few tears in the process "I figured out earlier this year hat I didn't love her, I spent 145 years looking for her, and lost all that time..then I found Elena. The human doppelganger. She was nothing like Katherine, Ellie, but she was nothing like you either."
"but I don't deserve you Damon, you made me feel safe, secure, beautiful. I couldn't ruin you Damon, please understand that.." she pleaded.
"Tell me everything." He said "I'll listen"
Ellie stared at him. Was he giving her another chance after she lied to him? Betrayed his trust?
So she did, tell him.
She told him about her history. How vampire's where created.
How Mystic was originally her hometown.
How she used to play with Kol and Finn.
Talk with Rebekah.
Ask advice from Elijah.
Stand up for Klaus.
How he changed her.
How over the years Mikeal controlled her. How she thought most of it was compulsion since he was a vampire a few months before her.
How her spineless mother did nothing. Ever.
How she ran away from mikeal to go off to war. And how Damon, smartly, Mailed the original Vampire daddy to court his little daughter.
How she broke away from him and had a witch go after him for no avail.
How she kept hiding from him, while he thought she was with Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus.
How earlier this year Elijah found her for the first time in a long while. And asked to help kill her own brother. Klaus.
That she refused to do so, and tried to convince him to do the same of what she did to Mikeal.
Vampire-fy (mummify) him. That Elijah refused and that was the last she heard from him.
How she looked for him after she 'died'. Telling him about the gunshot and how she thought she lost him.
About the first time she met Katarina back in Bulgaria, when she was a sweet girl, not selfish.
About everything that went on in her existence for years.
"I don't deserve you. I betrayed you're trust Damon. I hurt you" her voice trembled, I put you through pain, I don't expect a second chance so," she breathed, starting to get away from the one thing she ever really wanted.
Him.
Damon quickly grabbed a hold of her elbow, spinning her around as she collided with his chest, emphasizing the height difference.
Her breathing stopped as Damon crashed his lips with hers, in a passionate emotional kiss as tears rolled down from her eyes.
The moon shown on the two pale figures, the eerie silence only to be broken by the tinkling water.
Ellie broke the kiss looking right into his Blue eyes. A fuzzy feeling enveloping her.
"does that answer your Question?" he whispered, his face in her neck surrounded by her light brown locks.
Tears formed in her eyes as she ran her hand through his short black hair,
"gee, when did you become a brooding Edward – sparkly – Cullen?" Damon commented, making Ellie smile. The smile he loved.
"those are happy tears" she said, kissing him again.
Months have passed.
Elena and Stefan re-united.
Klaus was mummified.
Ellie siblings where now coffin-free living in mystic falls peacefully as they promised not to eat anyone.
Even Katherine dropped her selfish act, now somewhere in Europe, the last Damon heard of her.
Simply,
Ellie had to let go of Damon. As Damon tried to let her go.
In the end, they came back to each other in a rather, weird twist of fate.
That's when they promised each other that they are going to be together no matter what;
Always and forever.
"oh stop staring on the wall with that dreamy expression Ellie" Rebekah snapped jokingly,
"whoopsis" Ellie said rolling her eyes.
"who has a dreamy expression?" Damon asked, appearing from behind the couch kissing Ellie's temple.
"no body" Rebekah & Ellie said together, winking.
But, as someone said, nothing can truly return to 'normal' – what ever that word meant – in Mystic Falls, VA.
The home to many supernatural beings.
THE END
