A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! Here is the next chapter. Thanks for such a great turn out everyone.

Stefan was on his back groaning in pain. His face was red and burned from Vervain. A hooded figure was standing over him with a gun shooting wooden bullets at him as he cried out in pain.

"Elena! Elena help me please help me!"

Elena went to help him but there was some kind of force holding her back.

"What, what's happening I can't move."

An evil laugh came from the hooded figure.

"You can't save your little Stefan now."

"Stop! Don't hurt him please!"

"If I can't have him no one can."

"What? Who are you?"

The hooded figure removed her hood to reveal Katherine. Elena gasped. "No, you're in the tomb you can't get out."

"I'll always find my way back Elena. I might not be able to have Stefan love me but I can make sure he doesn't love you either."

Kat shot another bullet at Stefan this time hitting him in the heart.

"No Stefan!" Elena cried.

"This hurts doesn't it Stefan, do you want me to stop?"

"Yes! Kat stop hurting him!" Elena cried.

"No I don't care! I'll never love you!" Stefan choked out.

"Fine then you've left me no choice. If I can't have you no one can."

Kat grabbed a pointy wooden stick and…..

"NO! STEFAN!" Elena screamed as she shot up bed. She panted for air and cried hysterically. She looked over next to her but saw no one. She screamed again. "STEFAN!" This time she felt a gust of wind and Stefan was in front of her.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong." He asked.

"Stefan, it was Kat she was going to kill, She killed you." Elena cried as she fell into his arms.

"Shhhhh it was a bad dream. Kat is locked away in the tomb. I'm fine."

"She was shooting you with wooden bullets and spraying you with Vervain. You were begging me to help you but I couldn't move. Kat killed you. You were screaming in pain and I couldn't help you. Stefan it was so horrible!"

"It was only a bad dream. Kat is locked away she can't hurt you anymore. I'm safe."

Elena pulled back and looked into his eyes.

"It felt so real. When I woke up and you were here I got scared."

"I didn't mean to scare you I was just in the kitchen. I was going to surprise you with a breakfast in bed."

"After what happen last night with the wolves I just…."

"Shhhhh, it's all over. We're both safe no one can hurt us. Plus Kat is too in love with me to kill me."

Elena shook her head. "She said if she couldn't have you no one could."

"Elena trust me Kat would drink animal blood before she killed me."

"It was just so real."

"But it wasn't. It was a bad dream."

Stefan kissed her head.

"Will you make me forget it please? Make me forget the nightmare."

"Elena I'd never control your mind like that."

"Please, I'm asking for it. I want it out of my head so we can just enjoy the rest of our weekend."

Stefan sighed. "I want you to be 100% positive before I do this."

"I am Stefan please…I can't get it out of my head." She begged whimpering the last part.

Stefan sighed. "Ok, take off your necklace for a second."

Elena did as he said.

"Look me directly in the eyes."

They both locked eyes.

"You will forget about your nightmare. You will always remember that you and I are perfectly safe where we are and that nothing will hurt us. You will spend the rest of this weekend enjoying yourself having fun."

"I will forget about my nightmare. I will always remember that you and I are perfectly safe where we are and that nothing will hurt us. I will spend the rest of this weekend enjoying myself having fun."

Stefan broke eye contact with her and she blinked a few times.

"Morning Stefan." She greeted.

"Morning, you sleep ok?"

"Perfect."

Stefan smiled and nodded. "Good. I have a surprise for you wait here."

Stefan left the room vampire speed and then returned with a tray of eggs, bacon, and sausage and a glass of orange juice.

"I thought you'd enjoy breakfast in bed."

"You're so sweet."

He sat down next to her and put the tray over her legs.

"So what's on the plan for today?"

"Fun."

Elena giggled. "What kind of fun."

"Well I could tickle you some more." Stefan smirked.

"No, no, no, that's ok." Elena squealed.

Stefan laughed.

"I don't know, let's eat, shower, get dressed and then go from there."

"Am I showering alone?"

"That depends." Stefan smirked.

"On what?"

"If you can get in the bathroom and lock me out before I can get in."

Elena squealed and jumped off the bed and ran into the bathroom closing and locking the door. She turned around jumped startled by Stefan standing there.

"Hmm looks like you're going first then." Elena teased. She pretended to walk about but squealed when Stefan grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up onto the counter.

"That's not a smart idea Ms. Gilber, you see vampires cannot shower alone it's a rule."

"Why are they scared of water?"

Stefan laughed. "Something like that. But they have to shower with someone otherwise we freak out."

"Big strong vampires are scared of water and are ticklish good to know." Elena teased. Elena reached behind her and turned on the sink. She put her hand under and flicked water on Stefan. Then giggled.

"You're asking for it." Stefan growled. He threw her over his shoulder making her squeal. He turned on the shower and went inside.

"Stefan I still have my clothes on!" Elena squealed.

"So do I."

Stefan turned off the hot water and turned on the cold water.

"Ahhhh Stefan no!" she squealed.

Stefan laughed. "So it looks like vampires aren't the only ones scared of water or…." He trailed off and whispered in her ear "ticklish."

"Stefan no!"

Stefan started to tickle her as she sunk down laughing.

"You win you win I surrender." Elena giggled.

Stefan stopped and helped her stand back up. He turned the water back so it was warm. They finished up their shower together and got dressed.

Stefan helped her put back on her necklace.

"So, what now?"

"Want to go for a swim?"

"At the lake?"

"Yeah why not?"

"Isn't it too cold?"

"Not really, it's warm out today."

"Can't we…I mean can't I get sick? Swimming during the cold?"

"It's warm outside today."

"How can you be sure?

"Elena is there a reason you're trying to avoid going swimming?"

"N-no of…of course not."

"Elena I can tell when you're lying, what's going on?"

Elena sighed. "I haven't been in a pool or lake or anything like that since…. "

Stefan sighed. "You really are scared of water."

Elena nodded not looking him in the eyes. "Showers and things like that I can handle but big open spaces filled with water just…I can't. I remember being in the car as it went off the bridge watching as the water got higher and higher and the car went lower and lower. I'm sorry Stefan I just…I can't swim."

"Do you even know how?"

"I know how, I just don't like to."

"Elena, if you trust me…I can help you overcome that. Or we can kick back in here and watch movies or something. It's up to you.

"I do trust you and I do want to get over it. I've just never felt ready."

"Are you ready now?"

Elena nodded.

"Ok, go upstairs and change and come back down."

Elena rushed upstairs and changed into her swim suit and ran back downstairs Stefan was standing there in his swim suit too. Elena couldn't help but stare at his chest. He laughed.

"Take a picture it will last long." He teased.

She snapped out of it and blushed.

"How it is possible you can be over 100 years old and still be that hot?"

Stefan laughed. "My secret. Are you sure you're ready for this."

Elena nodded. They both walked outback and to the dock.

Stefan jumped into the water and surfaced.

"What scares you most?"

"Being under water…not being able to breathe."

"So just slowly climbed in and swim over to me. "

Elena took a step back and shook her head.

"Ok, let's try something easier." Stefan swam over to the edge of the dock. "Come sit over here."

Elena walked over and sat on the edge of the dock letting her feet hang over.

Stefan took some water and cupped his hands gently pouring it on Elena's legs.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Helping you get used to it."

She nodded. She loved and trusted Stefan but she was a little nervous.

"Ok, now come here."

Stefan gently took her off the dock and into his arms. She whimpered when the cold water touched her skin.

"Shhh I've you, you're safe."

Elena relaxed into his hold.

"Are you ok?" Stefan asked.

"Getting better. I feel safe being here with you."

"Good, that's what I want."

He gently let her feet go but kept her wrapped tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry I'm such a baby Stefan."

"You aren't a baby. You're parents drowned and you witnessed it, it's only natural water would make you uncomfortable."

"It did…but it's not anymore. I'm getting more comfortable now."

"Good. Can I let you go?"

"Yes, I want to see what happens."

Stefan pulled away from her.

She just stood there for a moment.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"I'm fine. I'm actually fine. I'm not scared."

Stefan smiled. He took a few steps back.

"Swim to me, get the rest of your body wet, help you get used to it."

Elena swam over to him, to his surprise once she reached him she took a deep breath and drove under the water. He felt her grabbed his ankles so he spread his legs. The next thing he knew she was behind him. He turned and smiled.

"What was that?"

"I swam under your legs. My dad used to let me do that to him all the time."

"So you're ok with being under water?"

"Yeah all I needed was that few minutes of just feeling safe in the water again and you gave it to me. Thank you."

"You're welcome baby."

Then Stefan smirked.

"Stefan what are you thinking?" Elena asked.

Stefan didn't answer, now that she was comfortable, they could start having fun. He grabbed her back into his arms and lifted her over his head. She squealed and squirming in his holding knowing what he was going to do.

Stefan threw her into the water. She shrieked and when she surfaced he was gone.

"Stefan? Stefan? Stefan!"

Then she felt a breath on her neck.

"You're right behind me aren't you?"

"Yep." He said and poked her sides.

She squealed and spun around. He pulled her in his arms and they shared a kiss.

"You want to try something really romantic?" Stefan asked.

"Sure."

Stefan pulled them both underwater. He started to kiss her and for a second she kissed back…then she needed air so she pushed him away and pushed herself back up to the surface. Stefan surfaced and laughed at her.

"Sorry."

"It's ok I guess that would be more romantic if I was a vampire huh?"

"It was perfectly romantic. Sorry I almost drowned you."

She giggled. "it's ok. I enjoyed it for the few seconds we were down there."

"Good, so did I."

"Only you kiss like an old man." Elena teased.

Stefan splashed her. She squealed and splashed him back.

"It's on Elena!"

They bother splashed and splashed at each other laughing and enjoying their time. Finally they called a truce.

"Thanks for helping me overcome my fear Stefan."

"Anytime, I'm glad you trusted me enough to let me help you."

They shared and passionate kiss on the lips. Elena's stomach broke them apart.

"Sounds like someone is hungry." Stefan teased poking Elena in the stomach. She giggled and nodded. They both went inside and dried off getting changed into some clothes. Stefan made them some lunch, they spent the rest of the afternoon and evening just kicking back and watching some movies. Elena fell asleep on Stefan's shoulder. He carried her up to bed and they cuddled together fell asleep happy that they had a nice drama free day, no worries, just fun and love.
