A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! PARTS OF THIS CHAPTER ARE TAKEN FROM SEASON 2 EPISODE 22 I DO NOT OWN THEM! Yes, I know I just posted this chapter, but I realized that half of it was a repeat of the previous chapter, so I took that out and added more. So here is the finished chapter.

Elena slapped his arm and giggled. "That was the real Damon Salvatore."

Elena smiled. Things were horrible right now but Stefan and Damon were both in her life and she didn't lose either of them. So, things weren't that bad after all. If it wasn't for Klaus, things would be perfect…but how would they get rid of him?

"So, is my medicine working?" Stefan asked.

Elena giggled and nodded. "Yes, it's working. I feel better after spending a morning in bed with you."

"Good." He kissed her head. "I'm going to make some lunch, you wait up here and I'll surprise you."

Elena smiled and nodded. Stefan kissed her head one last time and in a flash he was gone.

Elena just laid back in bed enjoying the peace. She decided to write in her diary for a while. She hadn't done it in a while. She got up and went over to her desk. She noticed a small black dot under her desk. Thing it was just dust she moved her chair and went to clean it but when the chair moved the black dot moved and that's when Elena realized it was a spider. She screamed on top of her lungs and rushed over and jumped onto her bed.

Stefan came running up the stairs with a kitchen knife in his hands. "Elena, what happen?" he asked.

"Oh Stefan, kill it! Please kill it!" she shrieked.

"What?"

"It's under my desk, go hurry!"

Confused Stefan went over to the desk and moved the chair. He was shocked to a harmless spider just sitting there. Stefan forced back a laugh. He got the spider to climb onto a small notepad and opened her window and slid it off into the bushes. Then he closed the window and turned to Elena.

"Is…is it gone?" she asked fearfully.

Stefan couldn't hold it back anymore. He started to laugh hysterically.

"What is so funny?" she pouted.

"Elena, your boyfriend is a vampire, your best friend is a witch, and yet a little tiny, spider scares you?"

"It's not funny! I hate spiders!" she whined.

Stefan just continued to laugh. "I'm sorry, Elena, it's just really funny. The thing was smaller than your pinky finger and you're scared to death of it."

"It's scary looking!" she shrieked.

Stefan continued to laugh at her.

Elena crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. She climbed off the bed and went into the bathroom slamming the door behind her. Stefan sighed. "Elena, come out."

"No!"

He sighed and went over to the door and knocked. "Elena, please come out. I'm sorry."

"No you're not!"

"Yes, I am. I promise I won't laugh at you anymore. Just please come out."

The door opened and Elena walked out. He hugged her tightly. "I love you, Elena. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"You didn't hurt my feelings. I just don't want you to think I'm weak."

"Weak? Elena you're anything but weak! You've stood up to the strongest, most powerful vampire, in the entire world. You'd go off and marry the freak if you thought it would protect those you loved. You've experienced more hurt and pain in this last year than a full grown woman goes through in her entire life time. Yet, you've never once given up or stopped living your life. You are the strongest woman I've ever met. Everything I said about that stupid spider was just to tease you. Nothing you ever do or say will make me think of you as weak. I love you and you are the strongest woman I've ever met."

Elena smiled softly through her tears. "You are the most romantic, most wonderful, most thoughtful, sweetest, boyfriend in the entire world. I love you so much." She whimpered.

"I love you too, Angel. You have the most forgiving heart of any person I've ever met. It's one of my favorite things about you."

They kissed passionately on the lips but were interrupted by the doorbell. Elena sighed. Stefan smiled softly and kissed her forehead. "I'll get it."

Elena nodded but followed behind him. He opened the door and they both gasped. "Elijah." Elena muttered.

"Hello, Elena, may I please come inside."

"No." Stefan answered and went to close the door when he spoke "I have a way to kill Klaus."

Stefan opened the door again. "We've heard that one before and Elena's aunt ended up getting killed."

"I will regret it for the rest of my life. Please, I give you my word I will not betray you this time."

Stefan looked to Elena. "It's up to you. I'll support you whatever you choose."

Elena let out a deep breath and nodded. "Come inside."

"Thank you, Elena."

Elijah walked inside and Elena closed the door behind him, wondering if she made the right choice.

Everyone went into the kitchen and sat down.

"I understand you now have the last and only weapon that can kill us. I'd like to offer you a deal. I will help you in killing Klaus, but after the deed is done, I want the stake and my brother's body, then me and my siblings will leave town and the you guys can live out the rest of your lives in peace."

"Why would we leave you with a weapon that could kill me?" Damon asked. "Do you really think I'm that stupid?"

"Well the deal wasn't offered at you. It was offered toward Elena, I've hurt her the most and she is the one I feel I need to make it up to. So Elena do we have a deal?"

"How would you help us kill Klaus?"

"Kol and I are as strong as he is, it will be easier for us to hold him down. Then either Stefan or Damon will come in for the kill. They will not come to any harm at my hands, and I can promise you they will return safely. Do we have a deal?"

Elena looked to Damon who shook his head. "No, no, no, no, no, no, did I mention no!"

Elena sighed and looked to Stefan. "It's up to you, Elena. I told you before I'll support you whatever you decide."

"You have my word, Elena. You and everyone else you care about will stay safe, once Klaus is dead my siblings and I will leave Mystic Falls forever and you'll all be free to live your life as normal as possible."

Taking a deep breath in Elena said "We have a deal."

Damon groaned. "Are you insane?"

"But, Damon and Stefan, hold onto the stake until the moment comes. You are not to know where it is or even who has it until the time comes for them to kill Klaus, deal?"

"Yes, I will agree to that."

Elena nodded. "Then we have a deal."

"So stupid." Damon muttered so no one else would hear, other than the vampires of course.

"We need to leave soon. Do what you need to prepare. I'll be back at night fall."

Elijah got up and left. Damon groaned and buried his face into his hands.

"Elena, I promised I'd support you whatever you choice and I do, but please understand when I say I don't want you home alone while Damon and I are out tracking down Klaus."

Elena nodded. "Jeremy will be here."

"I need more than that. I'm going to call, Matt over and see if he'll stay with the two of you while we're gone."

Elena sighed but nodded. He supported her even though he didn't like it, so now she had to do the same. "Thank you."

He kissed her forehead and got up and left the room. Elena looked to Damon and sighed. "I'm sorry, but it's my choice, please respect it."

"You know, if you were going with us I'd seriously consider giving you my blood."

"Don't bother. One, I'm staying home with my brother and Matt. Second, I already have vampire blood in my system. I took Stefan's yesterday, he healed my head injury."

"Oh how sweet. St. Stefan the healer."

Elena rolled her eyes and stood up and followed after Stefan.

"All right, thanks, Matt. I'll see you soon." Stefan hung up and looked to Elena as she walked in.

"He is on his way. He should be here soon."

Elena just nodded her head. "I know I'm the one who agreed to this deal but…"

"You're having second thoughts?" Stefan asked.

Elena nodded. "What if you get hurt, you're still mostly on animal blood. The small amount of human blood I give you isn't enough to heal you if you get hurt."

"I know, that's why I have Caroline, Bonnie, and Tyler coming as back up, just in case something goes wrong we can get help as soon as possible."

Elena sighed but nodded.

"Hey," he said softly stroking her cheek. "What's wrong?"

"It's just…lately I've been feeling that whenever someone walks out of this house, there is a chance that they won't make it back home."

"I promise you, Elena, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure we all come back."

Elena just nodded softly. "Here" She said offering him her wrist. "Take some before you leave, please?"

"Elena, I can't just take from you. I might not be able to stop."

"It will make me feel better knowing you're stronger."

Stefan shook his head. "I'll be fine."

Elena shook her head. She went over to her nightstand and grabbed the bobby pin. She pricked her finger and offered it to him. "It's less than my wrist, please take it."

Stefan sighed and took her finger drinking her blood. He kissed it once he was finished and then pulled her into him and they kissed passionately on the lips. The last time they had kissed like that was when they had made love for the first time. It was passionate and full of love. They pulled away and Stefan turned to walk away without another word. The doorbell rang and Elijah was back. It was time for them all to leave. Elena just hoped that wasn't last kiss she and Stefan ever shared.

A/N I'm thinking the next chapter will be the last, but I do have a sequel in mind so don't worry. Sorry about the repeat chapter. Hope this makes up for it.
