I am really sorry for the way I left the last chapter, it wasn't meant to end like that but it must not have saved or something, I am very sorry and I am making up for it by writting an extra long chapter now for you guys.

Elena provo

He had betrayed her, he had just left her, he had lied to her, ever kiss every hug, every I love you had been a lie. She had only been his toy, something to play with until he had Katherine back.

She bolted out of the room and down the stairs with no direction in mind, she just needed to be as far away from here as possible, so she ran, she ran from the pain, from the heart ache, from the memorys and broken promises. She ran while her heart was breaking into a million pieces, until she ran into something smooth and solid. She didn't feel the impact of running into it because she was already hurting so much there wasn't room for more pain, but she did feel when a pair of strong arms held her so gently.

He pulled her tear soaked face up and when she looked into his night black eyes, the world stopped.

Damon...

Damon provo

He couldn't help but smile when she had asked him were Stefan was. It was only a matter of minutes until she found Stefan's note and came to the wrong conclusion and ended up in his arms, where she would stay for all of eternity, just like he had planned.

He silently followed her up the stairs and waited at the bottom of the stair case to Stefan's room and listened. He heard her breathe stop as she read through the ote, and he heard her sobs as she finished it.

Hearing her cry was the worst sound in the world it made him want to cry with her and he started feeling guilty for being the cause of her tears he promised himself that he would never hear her cry again, well not in sadness anyway. She would never feel pain again, she will be happy beyond belief, she will have everything she wants when she wants it, and he will have everything he every wanted he thought as he heard her rip the vervain necklace from he throat and run down the stairs.

As she ran into him he placed his arms gently around her supporting all of her weight. "Finay were you belong" he whispered to low for her to hear. He gently pulled her face up to his and was suprised for a moment at the look on her face, because the moment their eyes met her whole face changed. Her red eyes looked into his own as if she were seeing something for the first time, yet he had not compelled her yet. She had never looked at him this way, when he thought about it she had never looked at Stefan this way either.

She blinked and shook her head breaking eye contact and began to pull away when he gently pulled her back looking back into her chocolate brown eyes.

"Your not going to run from me, your coming away with me, far away and your going to have fun" He wispered in a gentle soothing voice absent mindedly tracing circles down her arm with his thumb. She nodded in agreement giving him a dazzling smile that matched his own.

He took her hand and led her down stairs and out the door, he had kept his promise to himself so far. He knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her and although he had the power to compel her he was only going to compel her when he needed to, he wanted her to come to him off her own free will, he knew if he compelled her to be his, when he turned her she would never forgive him and he would lose her. But he also knew that she loved him and wanted him and if she was given the chance to realize that he would have her for eternity, his princess.

As they got to the car she paused, "How long will we be gone? wont I need some things?" She asked with a frown on her face. She may be compelled but she was still Elena Damon thought opening the door for her. " All taken care of princess" he said cheerfully, gesturing her into the car.

Before she had turned her head he was in the seat next to her, seat belt on and pulling hers around her, he was going to treat her like the princess she was.

Stefan provo

He arrived at the airport just in time to catch his plane to florence, he must have looked at his phone at least 100 times since leaving the terminal, but Elena hadn't called once. Not that he had expected her to, she was probably hurt that he hadn't explined properly but Stefan was confident that she knew him well enough to know that he he was doing this to keep her safe and if he didnt have to go he wouldn't.

He started loades of messages to her before deleting each one telling himself he was better explaining this to her in person, and he would deal with this "situation" as soon as he could and go back to her.

As soon as he retrieved his small bag he ran out of the airport haling a taxi and calling the number he had saved in his phone. "The number you have dialed has not been recognised, please check the number and redial" A aoumated voice said on the other end of the life.

"What the fuck" Stefan shouted just as a taxi pulled up beside him. He ended the call and tried again. The same thing happened, but how? he thought, he knew he had copied the number perfectly. And then he realized it had all been a trick, How stupid was he, he hadn't thought to check the number before he left and know Elena was miles away from him.

Ignoring the annoyed shouts from the taxi driver, he ran back into the Airport, pushing his way to the front of a queue of very annoyed passengers, he quickly asked the woman in Italian for the first flight back to Mystic falls. He had to control his temper when she replied in an annoyed tone that here wasn't one until the next morning.

He closed his eyes and took a calming breath, he quickly thanked the lady and ran over to the car rental place calling Elena's phone only to be met by her answering machine. He tried to push down the panic that was mounting up on top of him , he knew he didnt have much time Elena was in danger and the fastest way to get to her was to drive. The only small comfort he had was that he had left her with Damon, he knew he loved her and would keep her safe, other wise he wouldn't have left but he still needed to get back to her as quickly as he could.

Damon provo

He checked his watch as he pulled off the moterway they had been driving for a few hours now and he suspected that Elena would be getting hungry. Stefan would have arrived in florence by now and Damon pictured the look on his face as he realised how stupid he was.

"whats funny?" Elena asked as Damon let out a small laugh, they had bee havig such a good time in the car they were already acting like a couple, they had bikered over what music to listen to, Damon giving in at first only to pull the car over and refuse to drive if was going to be forced to listen to rubbish. Instead of getting upset like he thought she would, Elena had teased Damon tickling him and while laughing and saying that he loved Britney really. Damon couldn't resist tickling her back until she cried that she was going to wet herself if he didn't stop and they had agreed to play 21 questions instead of listening to music.

Damon was proud of the fact that he hadn't compelled her since they had left, and he smiled to himself for being right, they should be like this all the time, happy and together, and they would now there was nothing stopping them.

" Oh nothing" he replied turning to smile at her, "Just thinking of my next question to ask, hmm I wonder if you will even tell me" He was on to his 19th question and he hadn't compelled her once knowing that she had answered truthully. He knew what he wanted to ask her, but he knew that he didn't want her to lie, He need to know the truth. Pulling over he turned to look at her. "The Questions I ask you know, you will answer in full honesty. She nodded and he pulled onto the road again.

He took a deep breath, " Are you a virgin?" She answered still looking at him without hesitation "Yes". He was very happy at her answer and very suprised, he wasnt sure if she had slept with Stefan and he would have been truly hurt if she had. "Do I make you nervous if yes then why?" he continued needing to know more. "Yes you do, because I'm attracted to you". The good news just kept on coming. He was going to ask the question he'd been dying to ask the most when he stopped himself. No he thought tho himself, I want her to say it t me without compulsion.

He pulled into a service station and turned towards her. "Thank you for telling me that I cant begin to tell you how happy I am right now". He said unbuckling her belt, her face ad turned slightly pink and she was trying to avoid his eyes. "So what do you want to eat, we have 20 minutes, don't want to be late do we"
