I do not own The Vampire Diaries or any of its Characters.
Damon and Stefan looked at Elena intensely waiting for her to say something. It had been what seemed like an eternity after she quickly sat up in Damon's bed. They weren't sure what was happening. She was just staring into space…. into nothing.
Then all of a sudden she let out a large scream. They both rushed to her side in an instant.
"Elena what's wrong?" Damon was the first to speak
"What is this pain?" She growled. "It feels like my entire body is on fire."
Damon looked at her confused. Pain wasn't a normal thing when transitioning.
"Elena do you know what is happening to you?" Damon said warily
"I can pretty much guess. I heard you and Stefan talking before about him helping me. I must've died in the water while Stefan was getting Matt out. And being here now must mean I had Vampire blood in my system which I can only assume was given to me by Meredith at the hospital earlier that day when I passed out." She stared at him with confusion and pain in her eyes.
He froze where he was. He'd never seen her look at him like that before. Pain filled his body seeing her like this. He'd never wanted her to have this life. He knew how badly she wanted to grow up human.
He tried to play it off as though that hadn't just bothered him. "Well now that the Elephant in the room has been addressed, we need to get you some blood."
He quickly shot downstairs to the fridge that housed all of their blood bags and picked up an O+…..his absolute favorite. He was back by her side in a flash and handed it over to her.
She quickly took it from him, she hadn't realized how completely starving she was. She sucked it down instantaneously. It was delicious. She couldn't even comprehend how delicious it truly was.
God she's so beautiful. My dear Elena, if you only knew how much I truly loved you.
Elena looked at Damon….shocked. Had he really said that to her? "Uhh Damon? What did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything Elena." He looked at her baffled. He'd just been standing there.
"Uhm yes….you did. I heard you clear as day." She responds staring at him.
What the hell is she talking about? I haven't said a word. She must be delusional with everything going on right now.
"Uhh excuse me I am NOT delusional. I know what I heard Damon." Elena snaps at him.
He was utterly shocked. He hadn't said that aloud, he'd only thought that. Could she seriously read his mind? He decided to put it to the test.
You know I'd always imagined you'd end up in my bed…I just only figured we'd both be naked
She blushed. "Damon, shut up!" She couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
Stefan was clueless as to what was going on. "Can someone please clue me in as to what is happening right now? Damon hasn't spoken a word Elena."
They had both forgotten he was there. When they were together, it was as if they were the only two people who existed in the world.
"I'm not completely sure….. but I think Elena is able to read my mind." Damon says with a smirk on his face. He then starts to fantasize about Elena lying naked on his bed. Grinning from ear to ear.
"Damon…STOP. God!" Elena shouted halfheartedly. She actually quite enjoyed watching his little fantasy play out. She was now upset she'd made him stop.
"Wait what? You can read Damon's mind?" Stefan said stunned by this information.
How is this even possible? Maybe it has something to do with her having been a supernatural being before becoming a vampire? But she was just a doppelganger.
Stefan was lost in his thoughts for a tiny moment. Until he began to hear Elena's voice inside his head.
You're right Stefan. We need to figure out what's going on. Maybe we should go see Klaus? He might have some answers. Of course all of his answers come at a specific price so we need to get together a plan ahead of time.
Damon stood there looking at the two staring at one another and he began to roll with jealousy.
"Did I just hear you in my head Elena? How did you do that?" Stefan asked blown away by what just happened.
"Well, I wanted to say something without actually saying it so I tried to push my words into your mind and it obviously worked." She said shrugging.
Damon rolled his eyes, envious of their secret conversation. "So is anyone going to include me in on this secret conversation you two had? Should I be expecting an embrace of some sort or some kind of a kiss?"
Damon… you don't have to worry. Stefan and I are not getting back together. We were actually wondering why I am able to do this and I suggested that we go and talk to Klaus. I will always love Stefan… but I'm not in love with him anymore.
He felt a huge since of relief after hearing Elena's words inside his head. He believed her. He also felt as though she wanted to say more and cut herself off.
"Like hell we're going to see Klaus. We dessicated his body Elena! You think he's just going to give us pardon? Plus, now that you're like a Super Vampire, we can't risk him finding out and trying to steal you away." He seemed utterly frightened by the idea of anyone finding out about Elena and her newly discovered special abilities. He didn't want anyone trying to hurt her or taking her away from him.
"You're right Damon. We need to figure out exactly how far this mind reading thing goes and then we'll go have a conversation with Klaus." Elena spoke reassuring him.
Damon looked at her with a grin on his face. "Alright let's get to work." He said as he gave her a slight wink. He reached his hand out to help her out of the bed. As soon as Elena's hand touched his he was overwhelmed with emotion.
He could feel Elena's love for him. As sure as anything he'd ever felt in his entire life. He could see perfectly all of the nights Elena stayed up as a human dreaming of being with him. He could hear every word she'd ever said to herself about how much she truly loved him. Every time she'd every fantasized about kissing him, having him hold her, be with her.
He fell on his knees overcome with it all. He pulled his hand away from Elena's and looked up at her. He looked complete.
Elena was confused as to what happened to him. "Are you okay Damon? What's wrong?" She said worriedly.
Elena, what was that? I could feel everything you've ever felt for me. The love you have for me. Is that real? I mean… do you really feel that way for me?
Elena was embarrassed that he knew all of this. But how could he know? She wasn't thinking any of it. She reached into his mind to try and figure out what he saw and she was shocked to discover that he now knew everything. Everything she had kept hidden from him, from everyone.
"I d-don't know how that happened." Elena said looking away from him. She knew he loved her but she didn't know if he felt for her the way she felt for him.
Just then she could see him showing her just how much he truly loved her. He tried to recount all of the days, minutes, hours he spent loving her. From the first day they met until now.
She was overcome by his reciprocation for her feelings. She began to cry.
Stefan made his way over to them not understanding the exchange they had both had. "What is going on?" He asked.
Damon stood to his feet not wanting to tell his brother about their exchange for fear that he might be crippled with pain. He knew Stefan loved Elena too.
"Well brother" Damon began, "It seems as though our girl has a few tricks left to discover. We need to get to work and find out what she can do." He shot Elena a look.
We will talk about this later when we're alone. I don't want Stefan to be hurt by this. He's my brother and you loved him first. Just know….for now, that I love you Elena. I always have and I always will.
Elena smiled to herself. Damon was right. They shouldn't tell Stefan anything until they knew he could handle it.
I love you too Damon Salvatore. More than I've ever loved any one person.
He knew the words she spoke were true. He put that aside for now to try and figure out the extent of her abilities.
As Elena, Stefan and Damon make their way into the living room of the Salvatore house, they realize they are not the only 3 people there. They turn to the couch to see a familiar face sitting on the lounge chair patiently waiting. The 3 of them share a look between one another as they can't believe who it is.
Elena speaks, "Alaric?"
I hope you guys are enjoying my Story! This is my first every fanfiction so please feel free to leave me any reviews. I'm trying to put my own personal spin on Season 4. It's one of my favorites. I just hate that there weren't enough Delena scenes. I plan on having an UBER ton. There will be plenty of twists and turns and we will see how far Elena's powers go. Let me know what you think! I will be uploading 1 chapter everyday no less than 1,400 words Monday-Friday. They will be posted no later than 5:00 p.m EST. Thanks so much for reading.
