A/N: I'm sorry for the late update it was just such a bad week.

Alone

Chapter: 13

Elena's POV:

Stefan put me down somewhere close to a clearing. The trees were beginning to thin out and I could see the moon shine through them. I could hear screaming, the worst thought ran through my mind, Damon. I started to run in the direction the screams were coming from but Stefan caught my wrist and pulled me back. "Stay here." He demanded.

"No, I am going with you." I protested.

"Elena please, neither of us would want you hurt. It is probably a vampire doing this so please wait here."

"But Stefan." I tried to protest again but he ran off.

The screams seemed to grow louder or maybe it was my imagination. I wasn't sure what to do. Then, my legs started to move, I started to run in the direction of the screams.

I stopped just as I got to the clearing, there was no sign of Stefan but I did see Damon. He had two stakes in his chest; one looked to be in his heart and the other in his stomach.

I started to run to Damon when something grabbed me and pulled me tight. I tried to turn my head to see who it was but I could not. "Let her go Quinn!" I heard Stefan yell.

"You knew the deal Stefan, you leave and I spare your life and hers. It looks like your back so the deal is a no go." Quinn laughed evilly. Fear once again raced through me, he wanted to kill me. I tried to remove myself from his embrace but he tighten his grip around me. I felt my breath shorten and my vision grown weaker until it was black.

Stefan's POV:

Quinn was holding Elena to tightly a now she is unconscious. He dropped her to the ground and laughed to himself. I jumped to attack Quinn but he stepped out of the way. "How many times do I have to tell you, you are not stronger or faster than me?" He said menacingly.

While he was speaking, I attacked him. I bit his neck and drank. He shoved me off his neck but I could tell he was weaker.

Elena's POV:

I slowly began to see the light behind my eyelids. There was no screaming but I heard fighting. I had to know who was fighting. I opened my eyes and saw Stefan fighting Quinn. I turned my in the other direction and saw Damon lying motionless in blood. I got myself up to my knees and crawled to Damon's side. I grabbed the stake that was in his stomach with both my hands and pulled it out. I grabbed the other one while sending up a slight prayer that it didn't strike his heart and pulled out the other stake. He was still unmoving. I felt tears build behind my eyes but I had to hold them back.

Stefan's POV:

I am still fighting Quinn, I can feel that he is getting weaker I just need something to finish him off. I saw just the thing, a stake. There was one problem though; I had to get to get to it. I carefully led the fight over toward the stake. Hoping everything will end in my favor.

Elena's POV:

One word came to mind while I was staring at Damon's still body, blood. I franticly searched the ground for something to cut my wrist with. I was about to try the stake when I saw Stefan and Quinn move closer. I inconspicuously slid one of the stakes over towards Stefan and grabbed the other one for myself. It worked on vampires why wouldn't it work to cut my wrist.

I picked up the stake and grasped it firmly and slid it across my right wrist, blood began to ooze out.

Stefan's POV:

Things were beginning to look up. Elena slid over the Stake and Quinn did not notice. Quinn had me on the ground biting my neck. I reached for the stake and stabbed it right were his heart is suppose to be. He slowly turned an ash white and died.

Elena's POV:

I pressed my now bleeding wrist to Damon's lips but there was no reaction. "Damon, please drink." I begged. I finally felt his fangs retract into my wrist and drink. I let out a sigh of relief.

A/N: Please Review!

I couldn't leave you guys in the dark about Damon this time. (LOL)

I'm sorry again about the late update, it's been a bad week and today my power went out. (No power means I have no internet connection also)

I'll post Chapter 14 as soon as I can.
