Chapter 1:

Stefan

Elena was lying on the table. She was so pale, so still, so dead. I was just sitting there watching her. I felt so helpless all I wanted to do was rewind the clock and save her first. But Elena would always be Elena. She would always save others before she would save herself. She was selfless. What was I supposed to do now? Suddenly I heard the most beautiful sound I have heard in years. I heard Elena gasp for air. She lay back down, coughed, and looked around the room finally her eyes landed on me.

"Stefan?" she croaked holding her head. I ran over to her and held her hand. "Stefan my head" she rasped "It… it Hurts"

"Shhh" I said consoling her "Your okay… everything is going to be okay" She looked up at me with her big brown eyes and nodded.

"Don't lie to her Stefan" I turned around and saw a very smirking Damon leaning on the door. "Tell her what's going on".

"Damon" Elena rasped sitting up. She tried to clear her voice and failed. "What's going on?" she whispered.

"Elena…" I began not knowing how to tell her that she was going to become a vampire.

"Don't be slow about it just tell her that she died with some vampire's blood in her system and then she drowned and now she came back to life and she's in…." he said not finishing smiling at me. "See Stefan… easy"

"Damon" I said hissing at him and he just shrugged "She deserved to know" Elena just starred at Damon hoping that what he was saying was not true. But when she realized that it was she just started to breath heavy.

"I'm… I'm what? … How?" she said looking from Damon to me frantically.

"Elena" Stefan said, "Please calm down"

"How can I calm down Stefan? Tell me…how did this happen" she said almost in tears.

"I don't know Elena. I don't know how this happened," I said taking her hand

"I do" Damon said

"What?" Elena and I said together

"I know exactly what happened" Damon said walking towards Elena with sympathy in his eyes. He kneeled in front of Elena and held her hand. "When you came to the hospital earlier tonight, your injuries were not just a concussion. You had a Cerebral Hemorrhage. You know when you have bleeding on the brain. Anyway Meredith decided to give you vampire blood to heal you but she didn't tell Jeremy. And then Rebekah made your car fall off the bridge to kill you so she wouldn't have to run anymore and now you're in transition" Elena pulled her hand away from both of us and just looked at her hands.

"Matt" she said panicking, "What… How's Matt?"

"Elena…" I said she had been through so much I did not want to cause her anymore pain.

"Where is Matt?" she asked with more strength in her voice.

"Elena…" I said again

"Tell Me!" she said almost growling. Damon chuckled and Elena rolled her eyes.

"He's upstairs," I said "He is stable but they're keeping him for observation"

"I want to see him," She said standing up

"Not like that" Damon said smirking, "You are all wet and gross"

"Okay so go get me some clothes and I'll wait here," Elena said to Damon

"I'm not going to get your clothes" Damon said

"Damon!" She growled and I chuckled.

"Fine" he growled.

"Thanks," she said smiling and sat down. I looked at her and she closed her eyes.

"Are you okay" I asked concerned. She shouldn't be tired this early.

"Yea" she said smiling looking at me. "I'm fine. I'm just taking it all in"

"Ahh" I said

"Yea" she said taking a deep breath, "I…I have to tell you something" I sat down in the chair next to the table and just waited for what she had to tell me. "When our car drove off Witchery Bridge we were on our way back home… back to you. I made my choice. I want to be with you Stefan… you're the one I choose," she said looking at me. I stood up and walked over to her grabbing her face in my hands and kissing her gently. "I love you," she said

"I love you too," I said softly. She stood up and hugged me and I hugged her back. I pulled away from her and I just looked at her face.

"Elena" I said, "There is another issue that you need to think about…are you going to make the transition?"

"Ummm" she said smiling

"I'm serious," I said

"Got the clothes" Damon said, " I also brought a towel so you could dry off"

"Thanks" Elena said, "I'm going to go change". Elena walked away and stepped behind a shelf and went to change. I looked at my brother with apologetic eyes. He just nodded. Elena came out dry with dry clothes. The only thing that was still damp was her hair. "I'm done"

"You ready?" I asked.

"Yea" she said. We walked out of the morgue holding Elena's hand as we walked up the stairs we saw Meredith.

"Elena" she exclaimed, "I'm so sorry…I…I was just trying to help. I didn't want to worry Jeremy this was the only way I could think of to help."

"I know" Elena said grabbing Meredith's hand and squeezing it gently. "I know you wanted to help and I know you were doing what you thought was right."

"Thank you" Meredith said softly. Elena nodded and Meredith stepped aside feeling relieved. I looked at Meredith with remorse and Damon looked at her with hatred. We continued to walk up the stairs when we got to Matt's room Elena stood out his window just looking through the glass.

"You okay" I asked and Elena nodded

"Can I have a minuet alone with him?" she asked me

"Sure" I said kissing her on the head and Damon nodded. Elena took a deep breath opened the door and walked inside.

So what do you guys think... please let me know! Thanks Love you!
