"We should get Elena home now," Stefan said reaching out for Elena's hand, Elena realising his intention folded her arms, not wanting to hurt Damon.

"Here you go Elena," Bonnie said giving Elena her new daylight ring.

"Thanks Bonnie," Elena replied, then turning to Damon said "Thank you again Damon for the ring it truly is beautiful, I love it."

The five of them exited the hospital and headed for the boarding house, the girls sat in the back of the car and the two brothers sat in the front. They drove in a comfortable silence all the way home. They went inside and Elena said, "I'm exhausted I want to sleep, Caroline will you stay with me?"

"Sure," the young vampire replied cheerily.

The two friends said bye to Bonnie and headed to one of the many spare rooms in the boarding house. As soon as they entered Elena collapsed on the bed, and instantly fell asleep.

...

Elena woke up after a few hours of peaceful sleep, she had had two dreams. In the first one she saw Damon coming into her room and confessing his love for her. He also said one of the most heart-warming things Elena had ever heard. Damon had said that he wasn't good enough for her and that Stefan deserved her, not him. He then compelled her to forget his moving speech and had left Elena.

In the second dreams she saw herself before her parents died, waiting for them to pick her up after a party. She saw herself Damon meeting her and then compelling her to forget their strange meeting. Elena awoke confused and then realised that her dreams weren't dreams, there were compulsions wearing of now that she was a vampire. She couldn't believe the two encounters Damon had made her forget, it was so unlike Damon to do something like that. Why had he made her forget? She thought to herself perplexed.

Caroline entered the room and beamed, "You're finally awake!" She then saw the confused look on her friends face and added, "What's wrong?" Elena explained the situation to Caroline who listened like a good friend. When Elena had finally finished all Caroline said was "Wow!"

"I know, I don't know what to do, I'm so confused," Elena confessed.

"So am I," Caroline said. Seeing the mystified look on her friend's face she continued. "I really miss Klaus," she admitted. "I know I shouldn't 'cos he is the enemy and all but I do, and now he's dead and I don't know what to do!" she finished bursting into tears. Elena rushed to comfort her friend. "Why can't our lives ever be normal?" Caroline asked half-smiling.

"Because we Caroline Forbes are not normal," Elena replied smiling at her tearful friend. "I'm supposed to be the one in tears; I have just transitioned into a vampire."

"Sorry," Caroline replied wiping her eyes. "How you taking it all?" The blond vampire inquired.

"Honestly, I don't know, I thought I would be angry, but I'm just upset about the things I'll never have the chance to do like have kids or go to college."

"I know what you mean, when I turned I was so upset about everything that I'll miss, but then I realised I have all of eternity to just live and do what I want to do."

"You're right Caroline, thanks," Elena said hugging her friend.

"What are best friends who also happen to be vampires for?" Caroline said laughing.

"I'm really hungry, I need blood," stated Elena.

"I'm sure Damon has some, let's ask him."

The two young vampires went downstairs to see Damon drinking a glass of blood and holding another in his hand. "Here you go Elena; I thought you would be hungry so I got you a glass of blood."

"Thank you Damon," Elena said taking the cup and drowning it in one go.

"Would you like some blood blondie," Damon asked Caroline.

"No thank you Damon," Caroline replied, taken back by Damon's hospitality.

"I'm gonna head to bed," Elena said trying to get away from Damon's penetrating glare. Truth be told, she didn't know how to act around him anymore. She wanted nothing more than to run into his arms, but restrained herself knowing it would hurt Stefan.

"You know where to find me if you need anything," Damon hollered on his way to his room.

Elena frowned, thinking why Damon was staying away from her.
