To Change or Not To Change: Time Traveling AU

Chapter 10: Accidents Happen

It had been two days after the Founder's Party. It had been two days since Elena realized just how much she was in love with Damon- any part of Damon, and she loved him. It had been two days since they shared their first kiss (in this timeline).

The past two days Elena had been walking on air. She felt like a schoolgirl, because she was just so happy and giddy. She felt like she could do anything. She was all smiles and happiness. Her parents noticed. Jeremy noticed. Aunt Jenna noticed.

And Elena didn't care that everyone noticed just how happy she was. She wanted to shout it at the top of her lungs just how happy she really was. She couldn't believe just how happy she was. She hadn't felt like this in a long time it seemed.

With all this happiness, Elena couldn't wait to see Damon and share her emotions with him. She wanted to shower him in affection and be showered in affection and love. Maybe even go further than kissing…touching…

Elena never was shy of her sexuality but upon realizing she was a virgin, she was shy of what Damon would think. He had never gone for innocent girls from what she knew. It didn't matter though, because sadly, for the past two days, Elena hadn't seen nor heard from Damon.

She was beginning to worry.

The Salvatore Boarding House

Damon's Point of View

One Day ago

It was cold and dark in the basement of the boarding house. Damon knew it anywhere. He had helped build this home. But as he lay there, he couldn't help but think of Elena. After he had dropped her off at her house, a soft gentle kiss goodnight and some raging hormones from his side, before going home himself.

He thought of where he had gone wrong. He had been the perfect gentleman. He made sure she was safe, hadn't asked for too much and had even been gentle with their kisses.

Damon scowled in the darkness of the cell. He knew what had been his downfall. Stefan's jealousy.

After Damon had returned home the night before, he was ready for a nice glass of bourbon and then going to sleep. But instead, he had ended up consuming vervain. Then Stefan had been there, smirking and looking smug. However much Stefan had spiked his drink with, Damon was left weak and feeling faint; and angry…

The vampire could barely stand and it had only been a day. Stefan was starving him. And withholding Elena!

He looked around the cell, wondering what he could do. He shook his head as he looked at the door, finding Stefan whom looked smug.

Damon smirked, hiding his weakness. "So I was right all along,"

"I won't let you hurt her Damon." Stefan said firmly.

What an idiot. Damon thought. He wasn't going to hurt Elena. "I'm not the one spiking drinks and getting jealous because a girl has taken a liking to me instead of a certain someone."

Stefan glared. "She does like me Damon. I know she does. She just doesn't know what is going on because you're using her!"

Damon was already done with this conversation. "Where's my daylight ring?"

"You won't be needing it," Stefan said.

Damon knew Stefan would do whatever it took to keep him from Elena. But he should know nothing could stop Damon Salvatore.

Present Day

Damon's Point of View

Once Damon had broken out of the holding cell, after killing Zach because the human pissed him off and wasn't letting him out, Damon went in search of needed blood. He didn't think of anything besides getting blood and possibly getting back at Stefan. As much as his little brother annoyed him before, Damon downright hated him now.

The girl he happened upon was a tiny brunette, looked a little like Elena however her eyes were gray and she had a bigger bust. She wanted to just help. "Hey, look, are you okay? Oh god, don't worry, I'm a doctor!" She reassured. Damon looked up at her, needing her blood. She smelt so good…

She went to lay him down but Damon knew what he needed. He grabbed her and then forced his mouth onto her neck; beginning to drink only to feel a second heartbeat… the woman was pregnant.

The woman screamed in pain. Damon pulled back after he was sure he had had enough to last him until his next victim- someone he hoped wasn't pregnant. Her eyes were wide in fear and she held onto her neck. "What are you?" She demanded.

Damon rolled his eyes. "I need blood but because someone here is pregnant…I can't get that blood so…" He could kill her. But Damon tried his best not to kill babies or kids. The woman was shaking and beginning to back away before he grabbed her arm, pulling her back as he weakly told her to forget this. Then, Damon fed her some of his blood. As much as he didn't want to bother with the woman, she was still with child and Damon wouldn't let her die.

Once her wound had healed up, Damon made her forget that also before he sent her on her way. And then he went in search of someone else to feed on. He would need it ASAP.

Elena's Point of View

Miranda and Aunt Jenna teamed against her. Elena was forced to go to town and hang out with kids her own age. As Elena was so happy, they expected her to do something and go have fun. Of course she wanted to see Damon, but he hadn't responded to any of her texts nor did he answer her calls.

Am I being too clingy? Elena wondered with a frown. She walked into the Grille, finding so many teenagers there. Her eyes searched for Damon, but he was not at the Grille. Maybe I am too clingy… Was I the only one who enjoyed our dance? …Our kisses? She wondered.

"Elena!"

She turned and found Stefan. Stefan looked relieved to see her there and she blinked. "Stefan?"

"I've been trying to get in touch with you," Stefan admitted. "Your mom kept saying you were too busy…"

"Wait…" Elena said surprised, "You spoke with my mother?"

Stefan blushed, "Of course. I wanted to make sure you were alright and you didn't give me your number so…"

Elena knew she loved Stefan like a best friend would, but now he was being the clingy one. She shook her head as she looked at him. "Well, have you seen Damon? He hasn't answered my phone calls or my texts…"

She could see how annoyed Stefan was, but she could not bring herself to care. As much as she loved Stefan (like a friend of course), she couldn't help but feel cornered by him. She was in a totally different place than him and he had no idea.

"You gave Damon your phone number?" Stefan asked sulkily.

"He gave me his," Elena corrected smoothly.

Stefan stared at her with such a heartbroken look in his green eyes and Elena sighed. "Well, do you want to go get some lunch together?" He offered.

Aunt Jenna and mom would want me to….Stefan's a good guy. But…Damon… She shook the thought from her mind. "No thanks, I'm supposed to be meeting a friend here."

Stefan nodded, "Oh."

A moment later, Elena could hear Caroline calling her name. Elena had ignored Caroline since the whole I'm-interested-in-your-boyfriend.

Ugh- Damon isn't my boyfriend…. Elena thought. She hadn't had the conversation with him about if they should try or not. And things were getting more complicated. Elena turned, finding Caroline before her and looking pouty. "Elena!" She whined.

"Yes Caroline?" Elena asked coolly.

Caroline pouted more. "Can you just forgive me? I didn't realize you were so into Damon!" She tried to explain. Stefan, whom was standing there, pouted some more. "Besides, you can't have both Salvatore brothers!"

"Huh?" Elena didn't want both Salvatore brothers. What was Caroline talking about?

Caroline looked at her friend. "You have Damon and you have Stefan! Why can't I just have one?"

"You- what- huh?" she stuttered, very confused and utterly embarrassed because Stefan was now staring at her. Elena shifted on her feet.

"Anyone can see that Stefan is totally crushing on you and you have Damon on his knees before you. I just want to have a Salvatore brother to myself!" Caroline explained, looking painfully like a child.

Elena turned to look at Stefan, whom was blushing and avoiding her eyes. Then, she turned back to Caroline. "Caroline, I'm not interested in Stefan. And you shouldn't act like a child. If Stefan likes you, he'll come for you. And you shouldn't come to me about it, because I can't stop anyone from feeling." She tried to be a grown up. You ARE a grown up. She thought. She turned to Stefan. "Stefan, I don't like you in that way. You're a friend, a really good friend. And I'm so sorry for treating you like I have. Did I give you the wrong impression?"

Stefan looked at her with such sad, puppy dog eyes. "I know, you're a really good friend of mine too! Don't worry, I don't feel like that….towards you."

It was an utter lie. Elena could see that but she nodded and turned back to her friend. "See? Stefan and I are just friends. Now if you'll excuse me."

She walked away from them and headed for the door, deciding she would risk her parents getting mad at her. She wanted to find Damon but was unsure where he was. She didn't remember this moment in her past well, so she started for a plain walk. Even though there was a "killer" running around, Elena could safely say she was fine. She was safe.

Before long, the sun began to set and Elena sent a quick text to her mother saying she would be home later and that she was just walking around. Her mother responded almost instantly and Elena knew it was fine to stay out.

As she was thinking about how things would play out, she didn't realize just where she was going. She ended up near the graveyard. Elena hadn't been to the graveyard in awhile, so as she looked around, she was forced to remember everything about it. This graveyard was supposed to hold her parents but instead, it didn't. She shook her head, frowning at the thoughts.

Before Elena could blink, she was pushed against a tree, and then felt teeth against her neck. She cried out in surprise.

Only to find that the vampire (there was no way it wasn't a vampire like really!) stumbled back. Elena covered her bleeding wound with fear in her eyes. Then, the vampire looked up and Elena met the most beautiful eyes…it was Damon.

"Elena?"

Holy freaking shit… Damon attacked me and now he knows I have vervain in my system! HOLY FREAKING SHIT!

What was Elena gonna do now?

More of a filler chapter! The episode was about Damon getting locked up by Stefan and shit like that. It wasn't a vampire interesting episode so I had to let my imagination go wild- and thus, you have Damon attacking Elena- by accident of course. For the one-shot contest, please remember to be signed in as I won't be doing one for any guests. I need to be able to PM you about what you want.

I'll see you guys sometime next week!

(Very sorry on the wait, Fanfiction was acting up and wouldn't let me. PS: I start school tomorrow so updates will be slow but I will do my very best to keep them sort of weekly! I just won't have a certain day that the chapters will be up, okay?)

Nerdy~
