Damon's POV

Elena has been so worried about the guy on the bridge. I can't let her find out what I did. She'd never forgive me. I called Stefan and he's trying to find the body to cover my tracks. If they find his body in the river, she'll know what I did. I can't disappoint her anymore than I already have. Seeing her lay there lifeless will be forever burned into my mind. It reverted me back to my old ways. It was stupid and foolish. But it's too late now. There's nothing I can do to fix it. I just can't let her find out about it. Who knows what she would do.

My phone rings.

"Did you do it?" I ask.

"Mission complete." He jokes.

"Great then, come home soldier." I say playing along.

"Who are you talking to?" Elena asks laughing.

"It's Stefan. He was calling to check on you. I didn't hear you come in."

"I'm sneaky like that." She jokes.

"Well...tell him I said hello."

"He says hi and to get back in bed. Your supposed to be resting. Doctor's orders remember?"

"Yeah, Yeah. Is he coming over?"

"Would you like him to?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah. I'm bored maybe we can play cards or something."

"Sure that sounds like fun. I'll be over." Stefan replied.

"We'll see you soon then Stefan." I say and hang up the phone.

"Maybe we can invite Caroline and Bonnie. Make it a group thing."

"Maybe a few people Elena. We don't need you to overexert yourself." I tell her.

"I'll be fine. Sitting on a chair is considered resting." She laughs and I chuckle.

"Good point."

A hour later everyone has arrived including Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy.

"Come in," I say as I usher everyone inside.

Everyone comes in and sits down at the dining room table where Elena had set up monopoly. Everyone claims they're pieces and elena hands out the money and we start the game.

"How are you feeling?" Caroline asks Elena.

"I'm fine. I wish everyone would stop asking me that." Elena huffs. "Can we just get back to the game?"

"Ok...I'm sorry for asking."

"I just want to have fun. Just one night is that too much to ask for?" Elena asks as she rolls the dice and lands on a chance. She picks up the chance card and reads it out loud.

"You ran off with a midget collect $400...?" We all laugh. "What kind of monopoly is this?"

"It's the kind that has funny cards in it. We picked it up while traveling. Do you really think that we would sit down and play regular monopoly?" I ask her laughing.

Caroline rolls the dice and lands on st. charles place and buys it. Bonnie lands on chance. She reads her card out loud. "You've won second place in a beauty contest. Next year sleep with more judges." We laugh again.

"Wow, Bonnie. I didn't know you were that kind of woman." Jeremy says laughing.

Jeremy rolls the dice and lands on a property and buys it. The game goes on until Stefan lands on a chance. He picks up the card, "That's not a woman. You owe $500 in attorney fees. Well that's bullshit." Everyone laughs at Stefan's sour face as he hands the money to Elena, who is playing banker.

My turn. I roll the dice and land on community chest. "You've been caught fondling the neighbor's pet goat... Pay each player $100 to keep quiet about the incident. I gotta admit, even for me, that's a little too kinky. " Everyone roars at this point. Elena is laughing so hard tears are running down her face.

We keep playing as a few properties are left. There are houses almost everywhere. Jeremy rolls the dice and lands on chance.

"You spent all your money on drugs and alcohol. Morgage all properties immediately...Damn it."

He morgages all his properties with a sour face. Bonnie takes her turn and lands on my boardwalk. "Awe man. How much."

"Two- thousand." She counts out her money and hands it to me.

"Well, if you excuse me. I have to use the restroom. My bladder isn't what it used to be." She chuckles and I smile. She gets up and leaves the room and makes her way up the stairs. I can hear the bathroom door shut and turn back to the game.

We continue the game and soon enough almost everyone was landing on my properties and going bankrupt. The game was almost over. We were just waiting for Elena to come back for her turn when we heard a loud crash.

We all look around very alert.

"What was that?" Elena asks from upstairs.

We all get up and follow where the noise was coming from. We make our way to the living room to see the window was broken and shards of glass were everywhere.

"Elena stay up there." I call up to her.

I look out the window and see a group of people with weapons. An arrow shot me right in the chest missing my heart by an inch. I pull it out boiling with anger. More arrows were being shot into the house. I grab Jeremy and carry him up the stairs with vamp speed. Stefan does the same with Bonnie. Caroline had already beat us up the stairs.

"What the hell is going?" Elena asks her eyes wide. "Jeremy! What happened?" I look at Jeremy and his head is slightly bleeding.

"You might have a concussion," I tell him blatantly, more focused on what was going on downstairs.

"Thanks for the concern, dick." He replies.

I can hear them coming into the house.

"What's the plan brother?" Stefan asks.

"Divide and Conquer." I reply with a smirk.

With that one of the men were making their way up the steps and as soon as he was out of sight of the others I pull him up the steps. I bite into his neck blood squirting everywhere as I rip it open. I let his body fall to the floor quickly and quietly.

"I'm gonna be sick," Elena whimpers running to the bathroom.

I grimace knowing that I'm the one who made her sick.

"Sorry I'm late to the party."

"Better late than never Enzo." I tell him. "Are you ready for some fun?"

"I've never turned down a good meal, mate."

"Can we stop with the love fest. Have you forgotten about our party crashers?" Caroline huffs quietly.

"Right." Enzo and I reply simultaneously. We both smirk.

"Bonnie take Jeremy and stay with Elena."

With that Bonnie takes Jeremy's hand and pulls him back the hall.

"We need to leave at least one alive." Caroline points out.

"And why is that, love?" Enzo asks her.

"Because we need to figure out what they want and why they're here."

"Blondie makes a point." I whisper to Enzo.

"All clear." A voice said quietly from downstairs. "They must be upstairs." They whisper.

We could hear their foot steps coming up the stairs. There must be at least seven or eight of them left.

"They're getting closer," I whisper tauntingly.

"Would you stop it," Caroline whispers slapping me in the chest. "If they get past us, god knows what they would do to Elena and the baby."

The smirk on my face disappeared instantly. "There's no way in hell that they'll get near her." I spit out maliciously.
