A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! PARTS OF THIS CHAPTER ARE TAKEN FROM SEASON 3 EPISODE 20 I DO NOT OWN THEM! Thanks to my beta Elena Rain!

She just nodded. Stefan sighed. He wanted to know what happen so badly but he couldn't push her. He just hoped she'd open up to him.

After a few minutes Elena spoke "Stefan…"

"Yeah, Baby?"

"Um…Kol he um… He said some things to me…"

"What kinds of things?"

"Um…s-sexual things."

Stefan gently took her face into his hands. "Baby, what did he say to you?"

"He said…he said that…that if I didn't give into him willingly he'd…he'd take it from me."

Stefan growled. He felt the ripper inside him fighting to come out and rip Kol apart but he fought it back. "Does Damon know about this?"

Elena nodded. "He heard Kol say it."

"Tell me he ripped and burned Kol's body?"

Elena sighed and shook her head. "He can't kill Kol and neither can you. Not until we figure out who you and the others are sired to."

Stefan sighed and growled. "You're right." Then he realized what just happen. He chuckled. "Now back to the important subject."

"I'd hope you let it go." She muttered.

"Elena, this freak threatened to rape you. I'm not letting that go. As soon as we find out we are not linked to Kol he's the first one I'm going to kill. Did he touch you?"

Elena tried to look away but Stefan made sure she couldn't. "Elena, this is serious, please tell me the truth, did he touch you?"

"Not sexual, he knocked me back onto the floor but that was it, I swear."

"I believe you. I'm sorry he scared you like that."

Elena shrugged. "Can we change the subject?"

"Sure, what happen between you and Damon?"

Elena groaned. "Something other than Damon."

Stefan chuckled. "Normally I'd say yes, but I know something happen between you two and I want to know what it is."

Elena sighed. "We fought the entire time, Stefan. He's so angry at me and I understand that. I'm not going to try and stop him from taking out his anger. He should be angry with me. I hurt him."

"Yeah, Elena, that's what worries me. I know my brother. He can take his anger to a very dangerous place. What did he do to you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"You liar, he compelled you to make out with him." Jeremy said from the staircase.

"Jeremy, you aren't supposed to be eavesdropping!" Elena sighed.

"I'm glad I was. Now I know why you were so spooked in the car. Plus you shouldn't lie to Stefan, Damon was a jerk to you the entire time and the car ride home he almost beat you."

"He what!" Stefan growled.

"No, Stefan, don't listen to my brother. Damon would never hurt me."

Jeremy scoffed, "Yeah because compelling you is such a nice thing to do."

"You weren't supposed to hear any of that."

"I did so either you tell, Stefan the truth or I will. Personally I'd rather you be with him than Damon. He's only going to hurt you."

With that Jeremy went upstairs. Elena sighed and looked to Stefan. "I swear he didn't beat me, Stefan. Damon may be angry but he wouldn't do that. He punched the dashboard. That's all."

"And he compelled you to kiss him?"

"I was on vervain it didn't work."

"He still compelled you, Elena. That's a big deal."

"He could have done worse, Stefan. He could have hit me, he could have forced me to kiss him, he could have killed me, he could have turned me into a vampire. Stefan, I told Damon I put the vervain in my drink after our run in with Kol but I had it in me the entire time. I didn't know what Damon would do while we were alone and I knew I didn't have any vervain to wear so I put it in my drink this morning before we left. I left with me protected and ready for the anything, but the worst is the compulsion. All we did was fight and that was is. I promise, please don't turn this into a big deal."

Stefan sighed. "All right, we need him on our side right now so I'll let this go, but if he ever tries something like that again…"

"He won't. I promise."

Stefan just sighed and nodded. "All right, come on, let's go to bed."

Elena nodded. She and Stefan went upstairs and went to bed. Tomorrow would hopefully be a better day.

The next morning Elena was awoken by her cell phone. She groaned and rolled over to grab it off the nightstand. She opened it and saw a text from Caroline. "Where are you? You were supposed to be at the school to help me set up for the dance 2 hours ago! You better not be bailing on me!" After reading the text Elena groaned and rolled back and buried her face into his chest. Then suddenly she shot up with a gasp. "The dance? Stefan, the dance is tonight!"

"Another dance?" he groaned. "You people have way too many dances."

Elena giggled and shook her head. "Those "people" will kill me if I'm not at the school asap!"

"Just tell Caroline you're busy."

"She'd come here and kidnap me. I've got to go but promise me you'll pick me up tonight and we can do together?"

"You and I decade dance? We don't really have the best reputations at these things." He chuckled.

"I know, but…but it would be our first since getting back together, we should celebrate unless…unless you don't want to go with me. I'd understand."

Stefan let out a playfully growl and rolled around so he was on top of her. He kissed her passionately. She kissed back and pulled back when she needed air. "Elena, I'd be honored to be your date for tonight."

Elena giggled and they kissed again. Elena pulled back. "Oh, before I forget…" she reached across the bed to the nightstand and grabbed a small bobby pin. "I'm sure the vervain is out of my system by now right?"

Stefan nodded.

"Are you ready?"

He let out a deep breath. "I'm never ready. But it's going to help me so let's do it."

Elena pricked her finger and handed it to him. He sucked the blood from her finger and squeezed his eyes shut as he fought off the growing monster inside him.

He opened his eyes and smiled at Elena. "I'm ok. Thank you."

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Elena asked.

"What?"

Elena held her hand out to him again. He chuckled and took her hand kissing her fingertip making her giggle.

"Better?"

She nodded.

They shared a kiss on the lips and Elena hopped out of bed and rushed into the shower. Stefan smiled. Things may have been stressful but he was ready to make this dance a night she'd never forget. He just hoped nothing went wrong.

The day went by fast. Stefan spent the entire day getting ready and planning how to make this night great for the girl he loved.

He arrived at her house right on time. He rang the doorbell and smiled when she answered the door. "You look beautiful." He told her.

"Thank you." She blushed lightly.

"Are you sure you want to do this? We don't have the best reputation for these things."

"Getting out of bed is dangerous these days but we have to live our lives."

He chuckled. "Who gave you that horrible advice?"

"A guy I'm dating said it once or twice." She teased.

"Do I know this man?"

"No, but I wish you did. He's a total hottie."

"Hotter than me, and be careful how you answer that, because I will punish you for your answer." He teased back.

"Stefan, there is no guy in this world that is hotter than you."

"Good answer."

They both just laughed and locked hands headed to what they hoped would be the best night of their entire lives.

Once they arrived at the dance everyone was already dancing. Elena dragged Stefan to the dance floor. "Teach me some moves."

"Oh no!" he laughed. "I blocked out most of this decade remember?"

Elena chuckled. "You're going to have to do better than that."

"All right, how about this, if you really loved me you wouldn't make me dance."

"If I didn't really love you I wouldn't be letting you drink my blood…" Elena gasped after she said that.

Stefan just chuckled. "You've got a point there. Although we vampires normally don't need permission. We just take whenever we can."

Elena giggled glad they could joke about his blood struggle now.

"Speaking of which you haven't had your dinner time feeding."

Stefan shook his head. "Later, when we get home."

Elena nodded. They both started to dance to the beat smiling at each other the entire time. Soon the music changed to a slow song. Stefan didn't waste any time taking her into his arms and gently rocking her to the slow gentle beat of the music. Elena rested her head on his shoulder. Stefan chuckled softly and rubbed her back. "Did you fall asleep on me?"

She giggled softly and shook her head. "No, just relaxed."

"Good, then my job here is done."

He gently pulled her back and took her hand spinning her out and around and back into him. She giggled and then noticed someone behind her. It was Damon. "We three need to talk."

That was never a good thing. Looks like this perfect night was going to end in a disaster after all.

They walked into the hallway where it was quiet and Damon told them that Alaric was only getting worse.

"We have to do something to help him." Elena said.

"We've tried medicine and magic. Nothing is helping."

"Maybe we should get him off vervain and compel him." Stefan suggested.

"To what? Pretend to be Alaric, the guy we knew is gone. We're not only talking about a vampire hater but hates vampire sympathizers which makes you his number one target."

"You don't really believe he'll go after Elena, do you?" Stefan asked.

"So what are you suggesting we do?" Elena asked.

"I'm saying we put him out of his misery."

"What? No, no way!" Elena said quickly.

"It's what Alaric would want; it's a mercy killing really."

"No, you're crazy!"

"Come on, Elena, I told you this was coming in the car."

"No!" Elena shrieked.

She instantly started shoving him. "NO! Stop taking away everyone I care about. Stop taking away the only family we have left. Stop taking away the people Jeremy loves and care about."

Stefan pulled her back but she struggled. "We aren't going to kill, Alaric, just calm down." He said.

"It's the only way." Damon said.

"You're insane!" a voice said.

Everyone turned to see Jeremy. Elena stopped struggled and Stefan let her go. "Jer, nobody is going to hurt Alaric."

"Don't even try that! I know you agree with them."

With that Jeremy walked away. Elena sighed. She looked to Damon and glared. Then she went after her brother.

"Why am I always the bad guy?" Damon asked.

"Maybe because your answer for anything involves Elena losing yet another person she cares about. We will find another way, Damon. We can't kill Alaric. Elena will never survive the loss of another parent."

Damon just sighed. He knew that was true, Elena wouldn't survive another loss but he honestly didn't know how else to help Alaric. What else should they do?

Suddenly Jeremy came running back inside full speed. "Elena…Esther…outside…come." He gasped out between pants for air.

They both followed Jeremy back outside but before they could leave the school they crashed into an invisible wall. Stefan noticed a trial of salt. "That's salt it's a binding used for a spell…"

"We're trapped here." Damon finished for him.

Stefan sighed. So much for their perfect night. He didn't know how this night was going to end, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be good.
