Elena Pov

"What hapened?" I asked sitting up Damons face was drawn with so much fear and pain,but his eyes showed releife he was sitting at the edge of the bed I was in with his fingers laced through mine. Ric was drumming his fingers aginst the wooden arm of his chair,Bonnie was sitting in Jeramys lap as she read through a musty book and Kat. was sitting on the other bed watching bonnie read the book "Damon, What happened I remember sanding up but after that it went all black?" Damons intake of breath was sharp as he looked deeply into my eyes.

"Ric mentioned our plan of finding Stefan and recordnating and you got so scared,worse than I've ever seen, worse than meeting your vampire birthmother, Worse than when I snapped Jeramys neck." Damon paused to recollect his thoughts and recompose his voice "Ric asked what the phone call was about cuz he also noticed your fear,you didn't answer you just noddedand stood your heart was going so fast..to fast and you fainted." Damon said as fresh tears pooled at his eyes I witnessed his humane side while he was dieing but this...god this is beauty in its self. Damon took a deep breath to steady himself "I carried you to the SUV and Kat. pointed out the obvious and then we came here to the Inn,divied up the rooms and once I layed you down...I lost it."Damon hesitated the last part due to the audiance but he admitted it anyways.

"Damon." Ric whispered as he looked out the window

"They can waite." he answered watching me

"we'll head out and stall." Ric said motioning for everyone to follow him giving us a moment of privousy Damons eyes were glistining as I reached to stroke is cheek he leaned into my hold

"Damon." I whispered cathcing his attention his aqua blue eyes locked with mine as I thought of what to say next he leaned down onto the bed resting his head on my pillow I reached my hand from his cheek to the back of his neck "Do you promise?" I asked

"souly." he whispered shuddering as I teased the nape of his neck

"back at the gas station I didn't get to finish what I was saying." I whispered and he nodded his head I took a deep breath as I readyed for my world to completly alter and change"I love you Damon Salvatore, I was lieing to my self you and everyone,I was just too scared to admitt it I was afraid that if I did I would turn into her... but I'm not her, thus why I'm confessing at probaly the worst time ever in history." I chuckled Damons eyes went misty again as he pulled me to him just to hold me closer but the simplisity of his touch formed a new since of courage with in me, I looked into his eyes and kissed him he froze at first then responded with a desperation that I never knew could exsist inside one man my heart hammered inside my chest as I prayed this kiss would never end I didnt want it to ever,but it did when there was a knock at the door Damon growled slightly as he got off the bed and peaked out the window he rolled his eyes and opened the door,only to show Caroline and Tyler standing at the door. I raised out of the bed and Damons attention amediatly turned to me " I'm fine." I whispered as I walked twords Caroline and Tyler I felt Damons gaze on my back as he grabbed the door key and plced his hand in mine which didn't go unnoticed by all sixteen people around us.

"so whats the plan?" Jeramy asked my grip on Damons hand tightned he turned to me he took a deep breath and nodded once then turned back to everyone els

"well how's about we call up Bree and I'll tell her to be exspecting us around dinner time, and Bonnie and Bree can compare notes and Ric and I jjcan have a well needed drink,along with food." Damon said

"and then what the witches compare notes as you say you two get drunk,and we eat but then what, we need a plan." one of Kats' people Grace had said

"We, have to stop searching." Kat announced

"Why?" everyone asked at once

"Because if we dont then Damon dies."Kat said harshly my gripp became deathly Damon turned twords me turning his back on everyone he cupped my face in his hand

"I'm not going anywere I promise you Elena." Damon whispered hie eyes boreing into me he leaned in till our forheads touched

"Waite what?" Caroline asked pulling his attention back to everyone els he pulled away from me and looked back I nodded

"Elena got a call from Klaus he said that if we dont stop searching for him and Stefan he'd kill me." Damon muttered I felt my knees getting weak I pulled my hand free from Damons he glanced back at me as I sat down in the grass and layed on my back bening my knees and crossing my ankles as I looked up at the clouds.

"So we just give up because someone threatness Damon Salvators life?" Grace asked I looked up at Damon "or is it because SHE asked us to stop looking?" Grace asked with a cocky smile Damon was at her in a flash chokeing her I looked twords Bonnie begging she nodded and Grace was screaming and holding her head while rocking back and forth Damon backed away slowly watching as she withered in pain Bonnie stood over her Jeramy watched intintly as Bonnie gave Grace her best.

"If they say we stop looking then we stop looking, no questions about it!" Bonnie yelled backing away releaseing Grace from her headach Grace shivered and crawled away into the shadow of the bushes eyeing Kat.

"Don't look at me to get you out of this because im not going too." she said

"so how do we get to Brees Bar?" Ric asked

"well go after everyone has rested."Damon replyed looking down at me "haveing fun?" he asked

"sorta,join me." I said as I reached for his hand with everyone still around us he came down and layed on his back watching the clouds I layed my head on his chest "now I am." I whispered

Damon POV

"that one looks like a dolphin." I said pointing out a cloud Elena laughed at it and she rolled onto her stomach everyone els had gone to their rooms but I was aware of five heartbeats one belonging to Elena the other four if I had to guess were Jeramy,Bonnie,Tyler and Ric which means Caroline is also in tow but I really don't care.

"earth to Damon." Elena giggled I shook my head clearing my mind

"sorry I zoned out." I mumbled

"you don't say." Elena giggled I watched her eyes flutter open after she giggled "why are you looking at me like that?" she asked

"im still trying to figure out if this is a dream or not." I mummbled

"oh really?" she asked I nodded I rolled over onto my side and kissed her.

"I dont care if its a dream just dont wake me up." I mubbled onto her lips

"trust me I wont." she sighed I took her into my arms and pulled her closer to me I rolled till I was hovering over her I waited for some sign of reluctance but she kissed me and I took it as a go ahead I leaned down closer to I tangled my hands in her hair pulling her closer to me she arched up and I leaned back not breaking the kiss she pushed me to the ground strattling me I laced my hands into hers.

"It's getting pretty hot and heavy over there." Jeramy whispered I wrapped my arm around her back and rolled her till I was stratling her,her heart was hamering the scent of her blood filled around me I quickly removed my self from her and hid my face. I could feel the blood pulsing through me my fangs proturted and as I relaxed she layed a hand on my sholder.

"You ok?" Elena asked moveing till I was faceing her I nodded

"Yeah.. I seem to forget when I'm with you is all." I whispered I did my eye thing she loves and she cracked a smile

"come on lets go get everyone rounded up." I said standing I reached down and took her and I heard fleeing foot falls as our audiance ran away we walked twords our room. I hoped no one was in there for what I was about to do Elena walked past our door slightly and I grabed her wrist she looked at me confused I winked at her ans she smiled as I pulled her to me and aginst the door she giggled

"and what if someone see us?" she asked

"then theyll think we really need to get a room." I muttered pushing her harder into the door she tangled her hand into my hair my eyes rolled back as I stiffled a loud moan growning deep in my chest she gently pulled my hair and I was gone I no longer had any self control as I pulled her closer to me moveing so her legs were wrapped around my waist I listened for breathing inside the room nothing thankfully as I pulled the key from my back poket and placed it in the door and took it out shutting the door with my foot Elena bit at my bottom lip as I layed her on te bed her hand ran from my hair down my chest un buttoning my shirt as she went she moved with such speed it made me think she was Kat I pulled away long enough to dispose of my shirt and to stare into here everlasting doe eyes I pulled at the hem of her shirt before I raised it over her head she heached for the hem of my jeans puling my leather belt to come unfasened soon as it was I leaned in closer fumblling with the snap on her jeans I pulled once and it came undone pulling them off of her, she ran her warm soft hands down my chest once more. I leaned my head back as I felt her fumbling with my zipper my jeans fell off and to the floor with one tug I stepped out of them as we moved more onto the bed Elena shivered as I pulled the blankets over us. I looked at the clock fifteen minuets till we are to head out to the bar. there was a knock at the door.

"hey you two get dressed,and get out here." Ric laughed

"I told you someone would see us." Elena giggled

"Leave it to Ric." I whispered pulling on my jeans and belt I watched as Elena dressed thank fully all we needed were pants and shirts once dressed I buttoned my over shirt and opened the door. Ric was danglein the keys infront of me

"you know how to get there you drive." Ric laughed

"deal,but whos gona drive us back?" I asked

"Who ever isn't piss drunk." Ric laughed

"come on lets get going." Caroline said as we all walked to the SUV

"were is Kat and her clan?" I asked

"went to find some non frozen blood." Caroline whispered

"Suprised me they took this long." I laughed

"Sounds horrid." Bonnie whispered

"Have to survive some how, most animals are going exstinct for a reson." I said climbing into the driver seat i climber into the front passenger as everyone els got in and we were off

"what if they wanted to come after the hunt?" Ric asked

"Kat knows the way, at least she should, Bree was one of her ex witches cousins." I said

"Ok then." Ric said and we drove down the familiar roads of atlanta.
