Alone
Chapter: 15
Elena's POV:
I stood there silent watching Stefan drag the dead vampire's body into the sunlight. In a matter of seconds he was burnt, there was nothing left of him but ashes. A quick surge of fear raced up my spine then it was overcome with anticipation. I wanted to see Damon.
How was I going to tell Stefan the truth? It was going to kill him. "Ready to go Elena?" Stefan's question brought me back to reality. I nodded and smiled weakly. He put two arms protectively around my waist to carry me. He speed of into the woods, in the same direction we came.
We arrived quickly back to the boarding house. Stefan placed me gently back on the ground. I started to run towards the doors of the boarding house but my legs stopped. I turned to look at Stefan and he nodded, "I'm sorry." I mouthed. I tried to run again but my legs still wouldn't budge.
General POV:
"I'm sorry." Elena said aloud, "I didn't expect it to happen, I didn't expect to fall in love with him." Tears were now falling down her cheeks.
"Elena, I'm not mad at you but when did it happen?" Stefan asked. He didn't know why but he wanted to know when Elena fell in love with his brother.
"I don't know, it just happened one night." Elena explained getting control of her sobs. It was the truth, she didn't know if it happened when she woke up in his arms or devolved during the time he wasn't around her.
Meanwhile, Damon was upstairs in his bedroom. He was thinking it wasn't his best movement trusting his younger brother to find his ring. Heck, Stefan was the one the one that stole his ring last time.
In the mist of his thoughts, he heard a conversation outside, Stefan and Elena. He didn't care what they were talking about but he couldn't help but hear it. Damn vampire hearing he thought. After a few minutes of being forced to listen to their conversation it sparked his curiosity, what was the 'it' they kept talking about.
"Stefan, I still love you but not in the same way." Elena tried to explain.
"You might want to give Damon his ring." Stefan said, a frown forming on his face but it wasn't noticeable.
Elena nodded in agreement. She knew Stefan needed some time to him self even if he is really calm about the whole thing. Elena started to walk to the house, her legs working again. She opens the large wooded doors of the boarding house and walked inside.
She peered inside the living room but there was no sign of Damon. She made her way upstairs and down the hall to his room. When she reached his room, she raised a fist to knock but a voice from inside interrupted, "yes." Elena lowered her fist to the door handle and opened the door.
"Yes Elena?" Damon asked from an armchair in the corner the room.
"H-how are you feeling?" Elena asked taking another step into the room and closing the door behind her.
"Fine, I heel quickly. What about you? I didn't know. I'm sorry. I-" Damon still felt bad for taking to much of Elena's blood.
He was now standing in front of her. "Damon, everything is fine and I have your ring." She interrupted him.
Elena dug her hand into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out Damon's ring, she held it out to him. He reached for his ring, his fingertips lingering extra seconds on the palm of her hand.
The feeling of him touches her, even in the slightest sent spark flying through her body. It reminded her of the night they spent together. He-
"Elena, are you sure you're okay?" Damon's voice bringing Elena back to reality.
"Ugh yeah." Damon was putting the ring on his finger.
"Elena, I might be a creature of the night but I do enjoy a little bit of light sometimes." She hadn't realized she'd been watching him so closely. She blushed a bright pink color and a smirk spread across Damon's face.
"Alright, what else is bothering you?" Damon asked unexpectedly.
"WH-what do you mean, I'm fine." She turned to walk out but Damon caught her by the wrist and turned her around. She was face to face with him staring into his captivating blue eye. She could feel his warm breath on her face. She couldn't hide it from him anymore and she didn't want to.
"I sorta broke up with Stefan."
"To brooding?"
"No, I just love him in a different way now." She didn't know why she was telling him all this. Damon let out a small laugh.
She stared longingly at his lips. Did she dare close the little distance between them? In a second her question was answered by her own subconscious action, she leaned forward just a little and pressed her lips to his.
Damon was taken back by this; it took him a minute to respond. He put one hand on her waist and the other around her back pulling her close to him. Both her hands were around his neck, one traveling up the silk mass that was his hair to deepen the kiss farther.
All too soon, Elena had to break away for air; Damon kept kissing down her neck. "Damon, I love you." Elena whispered.
He stopped kissing her at the sound of those three words. He was shocked to hear them coming from Elena Gilbert.
He looked into her brown eyes and said, "I love you too." He leaned forward and caught her lips with his to continue what she started.
