Chapter 11: Nightmare

"Lexi?" Elena asked, hearing her say Damon's name, snapping out of her flashback. She began to walk over towards her bed, when the monitors began to beep rapidly. "Lexi!" She yelled, running over to her bedside. She shoved Damon, who was just standing there, out of her way. "Lexi!" She cried, hearing the beeping getting faster.

All of a sudden Doctor Rhodes ran in, followed by a few nurses. He looked at everyone in the room and walked up to his patient.

"I need everyone to leave, right now." He said and looked at the heart monitor. One of the nurses came over and shooed each one of them out.

Once outside of Alexis' room, Elena turned to Damon.

"What happened? I thought you were going to give her your blood?" She yelled at Damon, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I did." He replied, looking at the door keeping them from Alexis.

"Then what happened? Why did the monitor speed up? Did you even give her enough? Do you even care if she lives?" She yelled, obviously upset. Damon turned to her, fire in his eyes. Stefan saw the fire in his eyes, and stepped between the two, knowing that Damon was about to go off.

"Elena, we don't know what happened. Damon gave her plenty of blood. He couldn't heal her fully, that would raise suspicions. He gave her enough to let her survive." He explained. Elena looked at him. "Whatever happened wasn't Damon's fault."

"How could you think that I wanted her to die?" Damon asked, looking directly at Elena. Elena scoffed.

"Really Damon? You're going to ask me that, after everything that you've done?" Damon shook his head.

"You know what Elena? I'm tired of trying to prove myself to you!" Elena looked at him, confused. "You really think I would do something to-" He cut off, hearing the door to Alexis' room open. He turned, watching as the nurses and Dr. Rhodes came out. "What happened?" He asked, Dr. Rhodes noticing that his eyes got larger, and that he seemed very angry.

"From what I can tell, Miss Langton woke up, confused where she was and got scared. I'm assuming that she thought she was still being attacked in the woods. Now, I've given her a mild sedative to calm her down. She should be out for the next few hours." He replied.

"How is she doing doctor?" Elena asked, stepping forward.

"Her body is finally accepting the new blood, and her infection seems to be doing better."

"Does that mean she'll be okay?" Elena asked, hope in her eyes.

"In time, I think so, yes. It will just take a while for her body to heal." He replied, Elena nodded.

"Thank you so much doctor. Can we go in with her?"

"Yes, just make sure to keep quiet, she needs her rest." They all nodded and headed into her room.

Elena walked over to Alexis' bedside, and grabbed a hold of her hand and began rubbing it. She watched as Stefan pulled two chairs up by the other side of her bed and sat down in one. She watched as Damon leaned against the wall, staring at Alexis. She looked into his eyes, and took a double take. She could've swore she saw what looked like fear and… concern, in his eyes. And then it clicked. Damon actually liked Alexis. Which of course made her feel terrible, especially for doubting that he wanted her to live. She looked at him, seeing how intently he was staring at Alexis, and decided to sit down. She walked over to her chair next to Stefan and sat down, grabbing his hand in hers. They looked at each other, and Elena sent him a tight smile as he pulled her into his chest and they sat there, listening to the steady beeping of the heart monitor.

Alexis looked through the front windshield of the blazer, looking up at the blue sky.

"Are we there yet?" She asked her dad, who was driving.

"No Lexi, we aren't there yet." He replied, sighing.

"How much longer?" She whined, she wanted to get to the park and play already.

"Ten more minutes, the same as the last time you asked." Her mother replied. Alexis sat back in the seat, crossing her arms and pouting. Her mother turned around to face her. "Alexis, it's not lady like to pout." Alexis rolled her eyes. "And it won't get us there any faster." She added and turned around. Alexis was about to say something when her mother yelled "Look Out!" Alexis looked forward, seeing a man in a leather jacket standing in the road. She watched as her dad swerved the car and they drove past the man, watching as his blue eyes flashed and he smirked.

Alexis woke up, hearing a loud beeping and someone calling her name. She opened her eyes, her blurry vision outlining a shape above her. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her vision. Her eyes widened seeing him, and she screamed.
