'D-damon'? I looked down at the familiar man, whom i had not seen in a year, and felt a warmth rush over me as i relised just how much i had missed him.
'You know some people just stick to a hello!' Damon panted, looking a little worse for ware despite the fact it had been only seconds since i had got him with the vervain dart.

'I am so sorry Damon! you scared me and i thought it would have been someone else an- Wait a minute! What are you doing here out of the blue like this?' i asked slight anger arising in me, but one look at his face chased it away into more of a mock fury.
'What i need an excuse now to visit my own ho-' he was cut off by the sharp intake of breath he made as the vervain made him more uncomftable.

'Look can we not talk about this when im a bit busy with poison coursing through my vains? thanks.' he slurred his words as it became visably harder for him to stay concious.
'Right sorry!' i said as i ran into the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag from the fridge. I kept a few bags there for when i got visit's from Caroline and she needed something to eat...or i suppose drink.

I ran straight back towards damon who was now passed out on the sofa looking worryingly pale. I walked over to him and ripped the bag open slightly, after positioning the bag so it was above his mouth, i used my fingers to push his lips apart and get the desperately needed blood in him. The second a single drop touched his tounge, his eye's shot open and he grabbed the bad and drank from it with force, not realising my finger was still close to his teeth, scraping my finger causing the smallest sting and a drop of blood to appear on it.

Damon was far to busy in his blood lust to realise that i was hurt. He drained the bag in a matter of seconds and then sat up looking a damn side better than he had just moments before. His face wore a look or reliefe followed by confusion.

'Elena...Why can i still smell blood?' He asked looking me over for any signs of injury. I couldnt help but feel that warmth again as i relised that the expression currently on his face was...Concern. Damon was Concerned for me. A year may not be a long amount of time for a vampire but it seemed like forever since id seen Damon and i really, truelly missed him.

'Its nothing Damon, you just caught my finger, its fine ok?' I smiled at him to try and lighten the mood, but to no avail, he still looked to picture of worry. I lifted my finger in the air to show him just how unharmed my finger was. There was a small and only slightly visable gash, with only a pin prick of blood. Damon looked relieved to see that he had caused me no harm.

'How dare you Damon Salvator?' i asked with mock anger which turned instantly to a small giggle as i saw the utter confusion on Damons face. 'How dare i what? come home to my own house!' he asked not seeming to catch the lighthearted undertone to my words. 'How dare you stand in front of me for the first time in a year and not have hugged me yet?' i said a smile crossing my lips, Whilst Damons features softened to me 'Im sorry i was slightly...incapasitated' he said with a very Damon smirk sweeping his face. He then stepped forward and took me into his arms.

I felt so at home in Damon's arms which is more than i have been able to feel in a long time. With Damon holding me i felt safe and cared for, almost everything radiating from him even the scent of his designer cologne made me feel whole again. And i couldn't have been more happy...
