Chapter Two: For your own protection.
'You hated me before and we became friends. It would suck if that was gone forever.'
- Damon Salvatore
There was nothing more I could have done, the police were filing an investigation and I was stuck at the Salvatore's boarding house, like Damon had put it "It's for your own protection".
The worse bit was seeing Stefan, I knew I had hurt him and I didn't know how to mend things with him. I was sitting on the couch staring into space when Damon approached me. " Elena , my little brother will come around at some point, he is a bit sensitive at the minute but he does like you still" he smiled and took a seat next to me. "Oh really that is somewhat hard to believe Damon, I crushed his heart just for my own selfishness" I replied. Damon put his arm around me. "Look, he will be fine and he still does love you, and he would do anything for you, so please stay strong, because we going to need this strength to get through this" he said in a soothing voice. I didn't actually think Damon had a nice side to him, my point was proven wrong.
I looked up at him, his face was beyond perfection and his eyes were mesmerising. "Thank you Damon" I smiled and buried my head into his shoulders. Damon actually was a nice guy.
There wasn't really much to do around the boarding house, so me and Damon had resulted to playing cards. "Ha, Go fish" I laughed and he laughed to. "Elena, I think I've just won" he laughed and placed his cards down. "Oh I really do suck at this game "I smiled. Damon then picked up all the cards and shuffled them. That's when Stefan finally reappeared after some time.
"Hey Bro" Damon shouted whilst dealing the cards. "Want to join us" he asked.
"Damon, we have got far more important things to figure out then just sit and play cards all day" he moaned. Damon laughed, "Oh your such a spoil sport, ok let's figure this out, where would the originals hide out ". I interrupted, "Who are the originals?"
Stefan replied "They are the oldest vampires and actually are still living it seems so. They are just after one thing, you already know about the moon stone and the curse, well you also need a sacrifice, and it happens to be you Elena, because you're a double ganger of Katherine".
That's when I felt my heart drop to the floor, the reason why it wasn't safe anymore was because of me. "Nice going brother, you really did scare her, I thought you loved her" Damon shouted.
"I do, but she wants to know the truth so I have told her" he replied and secretly was thinking he shouldn't of said anything.
"You know what, stuff this need of protection, I'm out of here" I shouted and headed towards the door, that's when Damon blocked me.
"Elena don't you dare leave" he looked at me with anger.
"What are you going to do Damon nothing, exactly" I replied sourly. I tried to push him out the way but he wasn't budging.
"Let me go" I yelled and then Stefan came and replied "Just let her go Damon, there is nothing we can do ". "Elena don't go please for me and Stefan" Damon pleaded, but still I was not going to accept his words after all everyone who I loved were at risk because of me, so I had to do one thing to end all of this crap. "Look, everyone who I love is in danger because of me, let's face it I might as well die , so I am going to look for this Klaus person, and you can't and won't stop me" I shouted and ran out of the door.
I made my way back home and that's when I saw Damon sitting on my porch steps. Great he followed me, I thought. "Damon didn't I say leave me alone "I shouted and tried to walk past him but he blocked me again. "Elena, I have figured out another way in which could lead your life being back to normal, and your love ones back to safety" he said calmly. I looked at him curiously and then replied "Go on then tell me". He walked close to me and stared deeply into my eyes. " If you became a vampire". I was in shock, I couldn't imagine myself living as a vampire, look how Caroline turned out, she went crazy at the start. I stuttered "I…I don't know".
