'Dear diary,

Everything just seems to be getting worse by day. It doesn't help that Damon and I are arguing again, but now Klaus is back in town? I'm beginning to think that taking Jeremy to Paris was a bad idea. It's just causing problems for everyone. And it's putting him in danger. Maybe Klaus was right before. Coming back was a mistake. If he's come back for me, which I highly doubt since Elena is still alive, then I'll gladly leave Mystic Falls behind once more. And this time I'm never turning back. I'll forever be the burden upon Damon Salvatore.'

Ana's head shot up at the sudden noise coming from downstairs. She slowly opened her door to see Damon at the other end of the hall with his finger on his lips. They were both caught off guard when they heard a low growl come from the opposite side of the corridor. When Ana saw that the wolf was going for Damon she gasped and was suddenly in front of him. The creature sunk its teeth into Ana's side and she screamed in pain. She could barely keep her eyes open whilst Damon fought the Wolf until it jumped out of the nearest window, and before she knew it, he was at her side.

"I don't wanna die, Damon," Ana cried.

"You won't. You're gonna be okay." Damon pulled her into his arms and was rocking her back and forth.

She felt every one of her emotions she'd ever felt with Damon. There was a memory that wouldn't push itself out of her head, as much as she tried. The words kept repeating, until she couldn't take it and she cried out, causing Damon to grip her even tighter.

"How could he ever love you? You're just a liability, Anastasiya."

"Damon! Make her stop," she was starting to rock herself, "I AM NOT A LIABILITY!" she screamed as the cracks under her eyes formed and her fangs were bare. She pushed him away and zoomed out of the door before he could stop her.

Ana was suddenly at the Mystic Grill looking for no-one in particular; she didn't even know why she was there, but all she could feel was the beating hearts of everyone around her. The distinct noise of blood rushing through veins was all she could hear.

"Time to go," Damon said as he kept a tight grip on her shoulders, leading her out of the door.

Once they got outside Damon took her to an abandoned warehouse where he hoped nobody would care enough to go to.

"What's happening to me, Damon?" she asked as she hugged her knees with tears in her eyes.

"Listen, we're going to find a cure for this. I promise you." He held her face in his hands.

"You promised me you wouldn't let her control you anymore,"

"What are you talking about?"

"You always let her have control over you Damon, and now you want her to turn you?"

Damon knew she was hallucinating. He remembered that she got angry and noticed veins appearing under her eyes.

Damon walked into Ana's room with bite marks all over his neck, and she shot over to him and ran her fingers over the wounds.

"Why do you let her do this to you?"

"I love her,"

"That's a lie, she's compelling you Damon," she held his face in her hands.

"No, she's not," he pushed her hands away, causing her to be angry.

"What did you promise me, Damon? You promised me you wouldn't let her control you anymore!"

"We are to be together forever."

"You always let her have control over you Damon, and now you want her to turn you?" she grabbed his neck and put him against the wall.

"Ana, you're hurting me," he squirmed under her grip.

"I'm sorry," her hand dropped and she quietly walked towards the door, "All I ever wanted was the best for you."

"Come on, we're going back to the boarding house, now."

Ana was lay in Damon's bed, wrapped in his arms in unbearable pain, but she held her tongue. She didn't want to be any more of a burden than she already was.

"I know it hurts you, this is what happened with Rose." He whispered into her hair.

"Why is this affecting me so fast?" she turned away from him with tears in her eyes, "This is Karma kicking me in the ass for all the bad things I've done. There's been a group of werewolves tracking me for years. I killed one of them when I found Jeremy, guess this is payback."

"Why were you acting like a huge bitch with me 2 weeks ago?"

"They were going to kill you if I didn't,"

"Why did you have to?" he asked more stubbornly.

"I don't know. I was going to find out but like I said, I killed him. All that I know is that I had to do it or something would happen to you."

She turned back around to face him and a smile spread across her face before it turned into discomfort as she screamed out in pain.

"DAMON!" she was curled up in a ball clutching her side, "DO SOMETHING!"

He looked down at her helplessly before she screeched something he wished to never hear from her mouth.

"Get Klaus, please, I need Klaus!" she let out another scream before Damon shot off to find Klaus.

Ana lay shivering as she could feel everything in her un-dead body dying for the second time. It was the worst pain she had ever been through.

In what seemed like half an hour she was broke from her thoughts to see Klaus stood at the foot of the bed.

"Hello, love. How's that bite treating you?"

"Please, just help me." She begged with tears in her eyes.

He hated seeing her this way but he wasn't going to let his guard down.

"You running away wasn't a smart move, at all Ana." He sat down on the bed next to her as she sat up with him.

"You're supposed to be my best friend, Niklaus. If you're not going to help me, then leave me to die in peace."

"That's ironic, sweetheart, because the pain gets worse than that. Trust me. I'll save you, on one condition."

"What?" she asked before screaming in pain.

"You are to leave Mystic Falls with me."

"Done, now give me your blood before I bite you myself."

"Feisty." Instead of biting his wrist and giving her the blood like he would any other person, he tilted his head to the side, with a smirk on his face.

"How did I know you were going to do that?" she asked croakily, before leaning over to his neck and sinking her fangs into his skin.

She pulled back and watched as the wound started to heal.

"Get your things, we're leaving." Klaus said as he began to walk out of the door.

"Nik," he turned around and before he could she wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry."

"For what, love?"

"Leaving you." As soon as she said that, he rested his head on hers and smiled to himself.

"Then you're forgiven, Sweetheart. Besides, it was getting boring without you."

"I'd have thought it would." She pulled back from the hug and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Fine, you have an hour to say your goodbyes. I'll be waiting for you outside the grill."

Klaus disappeared out of the room and Ana was soon packing all of her stuff. Her eyes fell upon her diary that she'd somehow kept since 1861, and the one she had been writing in since she got to the boarding house.

"Leaving, again?" she spun around to see Damon leaning against the doorframe.

"Better than being dead. Catch," she threw the diaries at him and he caught them effortlessly, "You're gonna need those more than I will."

"What are they?" he asked as he flipped through the pages.

"My diaries, one's from before and during I met you, and the other's when I got back here a few months ago." She said whilst she was walking past him with a huge bag in her hands.

"That's it? That's your goodbye?"

"What do you want me to say Damon? I'm sorry? Like I said to Stefan, I don't love men who love other women."

"Katherine? Are you seriously gonna play that card again?"

"I'm talking about Elena. I see right through you Damon. Always have, always will." She reached up to cup his face with her hand before walking away to be pulled back by the wrist.

"What about Jeremy?"

"He'll easily forget about me."

"What about me?" he asked in a softer tone.

"You'll get over it, you did before. After all, you did spend all those years looking for Katherine. What makes Elena any different?"

Damon couldn't say anything as he saw her retreating figure quiver lightly as she started to cry. He knew that he had to do something, he knew that she wanted him to do something. So he did what he does best.

Damon sped towards her and spun her around, planting his lips on hers. His hands went to her neck to bring her closer. They pulled away and he rested his forehead on hers.

"Please don't leave me again," he whispered.

"I'm sorry."

"If you leave, don't ever bother coming back."

"Are you ready, love?" Klaus asked as she sat in the passenger seat, she nodded and he began to drive slowly.

The sound of her phone vibrating distracted Ana from her thoughts.

'Hope you're having fun with the Hybrid. Just letting you know, we're planning on killing him.'

'What happened to 'don't bother coming back'? You kill him, then you lose me.'

'I've already lost you.'

Before Ana could reply Klaus ripped the mobile from her hand and threw it in the back seat.

"What was that for?" he just ignored her and she faced the window.

"Don't pout, love. We're almost there."
