Elena's POV

"Ow." My head is throbbing. I look around not recognizing where I'm at. "Damon?" He's unconscious, his neck was broken. I try to undo my seat belt and of course it's stuck. "Damon!" I cry as the car fills with water. "Damon, please wake up!" The water is up to my chin by now. I scream one last time before the water starts to fill my lungs.

Darkness...

Damon's POV

I open my eyes in enough time to see Elena taking her last breath. Panicking under the water, she starts to fight less and less. The water filling up her lungs, I grab her and the seat belt breaks free. I swim to the surface as fast as I can. Listening to Elena's heart the whole way. It starts to beat slower and slower as I reach closer to the surface. We break the surface and I get her onto land. She's not breathing. I perform CPR several times breathing into her mouth and pumping air into her lungs.

"Come on, baby. Come back."

I breath into her mouth, no reponse. I do some more compressions onto her chest.

"Is she alright?" The man on the bridge yells.

There's no signs of life. She's...dead. The realization of her situation makes me go into a craze. The rage boils as I make my way up to the bridge with my vamp speed. I feel my adrenaline pumping. I'm face to face with the man.

"She's dead." I tell him as my face turns dark. "It's all your fault." I spit at him. I grab him and feed from him neck drinking every last drop then dumping him into the river.

I go back to where Elena is laying and pick her up. I look for any signs that she may still be alive. Just then her fingers start to move very weakly. I start to preform CPR again. "Come on Elena!" I yell at her. Her fingers start to move more now. After about five more minutes she takes a big breath and water starts to shoot out of her mouth. I start to cry.

"I thought I lost you." My emotions getting the best of me. I sit her up and press her face against my chest hugging her. I feel her body shaking with sobs.

"Damon...What happened?"

"We were in an accident. But we're okay." I tell her trying to keep her calm.

"The baby?!" She was yelling at this point.

"The baby is just fine." I tell her.

"Damon, how do you know?"

"The baby's heart beat was beating normally almost the entire time. It never stopped beating...unlike yours."

She was still shaking but it was from the cold air and still being wet. "I'm taking you home."

"The man... what about the man. Is he ok?"

"He ran off when we crashed into the water." I lied.

"Let's get you home, you're freezing."
