A/N: As promised here it is. The start of the Damon and Elena scenes, I hope I've done them justice. A lot of your reviews made me think you might like this chapter but we'll see. I was once again amazed by your response so thank you again. I haven't written the next chapter yet but I am at home this weekend and my parents aren't so I should have time to do my homework and write. I wanted to get this up earlier today but I had to write my other one so I couldn't even read any Vampire Diaries stories because then I would lose all inspiration for it. Anyway it's here now. There is a slightly intimate scene in the last part of the future scene. It's more implied than described (ha it rhymes, sort of) but just a warning. So I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think and see you at the bottom.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries or any of the characters etc.

So on with the next chapter...

Chapter 6

Bonnie was waiting by the table when they all returned to the room. Stefan and Caroline returned to their original places; Caroline sat on the couch and Stefan pacing slightly behind it. Bonnie called Damon and Elena over as they came into the room.

"Alright, I need your blood now." She said as she turned to them. No one seemed in the mood to argue this time around after what they had seen last time. Both Damon and Elena let Bonnie draw some blood then they returned to their positions. Bonnie then started the spell, like last time nothing happened immediately. After a few moments the picture started to appear.

An empty road appeared. It was raining heavily. Damon came into view; he was walking along the road, obviously not happy. Elena appeared walking after him; she too seemed to be angry. There was a few metres between them. Again Elena looked a little older, in her early 20s.

"I look older again" Elena commented.

"You must have become human anyway." Bonnie mused.

"You didn't have to kill her Damon!" She shouted, she sounded furious.

"What a surprise Damon's killed someone." Caroline said her voice full of sarcasm.

"So did Stefan." Elena pointed out.

"But he had a reason, not one I would consider but a good reason for him."

"We don't even know why Damon did it yet." Elena argued.

"I'm a vampire Elena, I kill people." He sounded equally angry. The boarding house was coming into view and they were both heading to the door.

"But you don't have to, that's the point." She shouted back. He opened the front door and walked through it leaving it open for her to follow him in.

"A reason, you were saying?" Caroline started in again.

"I don't need a reason to kill people." Damon added, earning a glare from Elena.

"You're not helping." She said as she turned to Damon.

"I'm not trying to."

"I'm not Stefan." He hissed.

"Maybe if you were-"

"Caroline!" Elena scolded her.

"No, you're keeping him locked up as a pet!" She countered indignantly. No longer shouting but her voice still raised, a flash of amusement crossing her face, and she barely managed to keep it out of her tone. Damon headed straight across the parlour and poured two glasses of bourbon, one of which he passed to Elena.

"I'm sure that isn't like it sounds." Elena tried to avoid conflict at what was said by her future self. The look of outrage on some of their faces told her she had probably just delayed it.

"Hey, it was your idea to give him his blood in a bowl." Damon pointed out his amusement obvious as unlike Elena he made no effort to hide it.

"He actually finds it funny!" Caroline said incredulous.

"Well, so does she." Damon pointed out.

"It's not how it sounds?" Caroline turned back to Elena.

"I'm sure it's just a joke." She tried to reassure them, her tone unconvinced even as she said it.

"I was joking, you do it every time now!" she now seemed annoyed again. He just shrugged. "When he's back to normal he's going to hold it against you." She pointed out. He rolled his eyes.

"Or maybe they were serious." Elena conceded.

"If it makes you feel better it sounds like there's a reason he has to be locked up." Bonnie tried to dispel some of the tension.

"And if they're waiting for him to be normal then they'll probably never have to deal with it." Damon added.

"Still not helping."

"Still not trying." Elena sighed and shook her head. Sometimes he could be exasperating.

"If you want Stefan he's locked in the basement, he's all yours!" Damon was shutting down again.

"I don't want Stefan!" Elena shouted annoyed.

"So that's what it's like? I pick you and you still don't believe me?" She asked turning to Damon. He didn't respond just opened a new bottle and poured himself another drink, ignoring her question.

"I'm sure it's just a heat of the argument thing." Bonnie assured her.

Caroline and Jeremy came into the entrance.

"They're back." Jeremy stated, not sounding at all surprised.

"How long before we turn around and leave?" Caroline asked. It sounded like she was making a bet.

"They don't seem surprised, in fact it's almost like they expected this." Bonnie was the first to comment on the appearance of the two new people in the scene.

"Something's wrong." Damon spoke up.

"Why?" Bonnie asked confused.

"Blondie's not judging." He answered as though it was obvious. It earned him a glare from Caroline.

"Jeremy's there, and he's older than me." Elena said dazedly, seemingly unaware of the conversation around her.

Stefan had remained quiet the whole scene so far. He wasn't exactly surprised it was of Damon and Elena fighting, it was pretty much what they did, but he was still a little hung up on the fact that he was locked up and his brother was feeding him blood in a bowl, although the last part was more of an afterthought, a fact that the others seemed to have moved on from.

Neither Damon nor Elena had even noticed their presence.

"I want you!" Elena continued oblivious to their spectators.

"Then why are you trying to turn me into him?" He stood firm.

"I'm getting a sense of déjà vu again." Elena mumbled recalling how he had accused her of exactly the same thing the summer Stefan had been away with Klaus. The situation wasn't the same here though and she had a feeling that he wasn't right this time either, he had been before.

"They haven't even noticed they're not alone!" Caroline was shocked.

"I'm not, but you didn't have to kill her. You were doing it to prove a point!" She argued

"I don't care Elena."

"How can you-"

"Human life doesn't mean something to me the way it does to you. I don't care whether she lived or died."

"Well some things never change. Can you really live with that Elena?" Caroline asked her friend. Elena gave her an annoyed look but said nothing.

"I know that but you didn't have to do it in front of me!" She started to reveal more.

"You didn't want secrets." He reminded her.

Elena was starting to sense another difference between her future with Damon and her future with Stefan. With Stefan there had been things neither of them had been able to say. Secrets and no go areas. With Damon it appeared that that wasn't the case. She couldn't help but feel that her future self still hadn't revealed the real reason she was upset and that Damon both knew it wasn't the reason and knew what the real reason was.

"Don't turn this around on me!" She fought back. As they argued they started to move closer to each other.

"It's who I am Elena, take it or leave it." He bought them back to the point.

"Well, doesn't that sound familiar." Once again Caroline was on the offensive. She couldn't help but hope Elena would leave it, although she knew she wouldn't. Deep down she had a feeling she knew what Elena's choice would be, but maybe if in this future she had accepted it...

"I love all of you. But you didn't do it because you wanted to, or because you needed to. You did it because you could!" She started to raise her voice again. They both stood face to face, they were both angry, breathing heavily. Within seconds their lips had descended upon each other's.

"I think it's time to go." Jeremy suggested to Caroline. She nodded.

"I feel sorry for Stefan." She added, looking towards the basement as they both headed out the front door.

"Well, that's one way to end an argument." Bonnie seemed unsure how else to react.

"I think now we know why they were talking about leaving. It's like they expected this." Caroline added.

"Almost like this happens all the time." Elena agreed.

"There are worse ways to end arguments." Damon didn't seem at all opposed to what was happening.

Damon and Elena stood in front of the fireplace totally oblivious to anything but each other. They pulled each other closer as their tongues battled for dominance. It wasn't long before it progressed as Elena tore open Damon's shirt in a familiar gesture, hers was the next to go. It wasn't long before they were heading towards the stairs, moving in short intervals at inhuman speeds as they started to discard each other's clothes on their way to the bed room, still soaked from the rain. The path seemingly instinct. Once they got inside the bedroom Damon threw her on the bed in a none too gentle fashion, almost beating her there as he followed. As they started to remove their remaining clothes the scene faded leaving them to their privacy.

"They've definitely done that before."

"Well, Damon wasn't treating you like glass there."

"So does that mean... What does that mean?" Elena was confused.

"I'm just glad it stopped where it did. I didn't need to see anymore." Bonnie confessed.

"I didn't need to see that much." Stefan finally spoke. Seeing Elena with his brother was weird experience to say the least. He had never really imagined it and he had been lucky to never have to witness it. Now he would though. He had another three scenes of it to watch. Just seeing that one had been hard, he had a new found respect for his brother; he had lived though his and Elena's relationship having no choice but to see it. When he finally managed to shake the images from his head he was reminded again of what had captured his attention most in that scene. "You kept me as a pet!" He aimed it at Damon.

"Technically I haven't yet."

"We don't even know why you were locked up but if Damon's response in the other future is to go by then it's probably because you weren't doing very well." Elena pointed out.

"Is that really what you want Elena?" Caroline asked, her tone serious again, "Arguing, having to lock Stefan up, not even noticing when your own brother is in the room?" Caroline listed off.

"So leaving Damon to disappear for all of my life is better?" She asked disbelievingly.

"I didn't say that."

"That's what you implied. And what's wrong with being too distracted to notice someone else every so often. It was one scene, we don't know if it's always like that."

"Actually they sort of implied that it was normal for you two to act that way." Bonnie interrupted reluctantly.

"You prefer that life." Stefan stated.

"What?! No I..." Elena was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't deny that it did intrigue her. There had been something in the last scene that had been missing in the others. She couldn't quite identify it yet. But was that worth it? She had seemed comfortable and happy in the other future, content enough, but was that enough? She knew from the start that a life with Damon would never be easy, but would it be too hard? She couldn't actually deny Stefan's statement, it wasn't entirely untrue. Could she live like that all the time though? And Caroline was right, locking Stefan up? Was it any worse than letting Damon go though? Without emotions? If Stefan was in the same state then by locking him up they weren't just trying to help him, they were protecting the hundreds that he could have killed. She didn't doubt Stefan's body count was higher than Damon's. Something that Caroline didn't see as a negative. She came out of her musing to see Damon watching her carefully, as though he was reading her. He hadn't spoken since the scene had ended, except to answer Stefan. As she looked up at him he turned away again. She sighed he was being more closed off than usual. She turned to Bonnie again.

"How about the next one?" She suggested. Everyone nodded; both ready to move on and simultaneously dreading what could be in the next scene.

Okay, I hope it was okay. It was difficult to write the last part of the future scene. I have absolutely no relationship experience (at 18 I've never even been kissed it's depressing) so it's all based on what I have read or watched on the show. Let me know if it needs changing either way and I will do my best, it didn't help I had to write it while my mum and dad were on the boat, I started but my mum was sat next to me so it was awkward and I wrote the end once they had gone to bed but it still seemed weird. I feel kind of sorry for Stefan, but I also find it kind of a funny image. Let me know what you think. If Elena seems a little ooc in the future, it's been 10 years they all change. Now the next paragraph will be babble about my thoughts on the show and potential stories then the one after will be guest reviews in case you want to skip them.

Right, things I forgot to mention before: the Klaus and Caroline scene in the season finale was nice, even I, who isn't a fan of the pairing, was touched by it, and I'm not touched by much- I don't even cry at the Titanic- by I liked it. I was quite happy for you fans of the couple I know at least one of you is definitely a fan. Also for my random story ideas. I would love to see a genuine love triangle between Katherine, Damon and Elena. One where Katherine actually does love him, (but we all know what team I'm on by now) we don't see many, I haven't seen any. Feel free to request, write, comment or refer on my random ideas. I also had a favourite story that was deleted and I would love to read another on the same pretence so I will share the idea. Basically Jeremy is her older brother, Damon is his (best) friend. Her and Damon fall in love or other things. No one would support the relationship etc. Two stories similar popped up but now both are gone it's rude.

To my guest reviewers: I'm glad you were excited, I hope it was good enough. To the other Guest (Again I can't differentiate between you any other way, sorry) Yes it was sad to see her dying. It was probably the shortest and most powerful future scene. After everything they have gone through to keep her alive and then they are powerless to stop it and have to watch her dying in the most natural way. Just so everybody knows she didn't actually die at the end of that scene. You raise an interesting question, it will (obviously) be answered next chapter. I hope you liked the chapter and that it didn't disappoint. And to final guest, whose review I had found after I saved this and was about to upload it thank you, I hope you liked this chapter.

I hope you all enjoyed it, let me know what you think and see you in the next chapter. (*smiles*)
