It's a beautiful day, as Stefan and I stand in Elena's room. Stefan is standing at the foot of her bed and I'm seated in a chair not far from the door.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPM5Vaqofb
Elena opens her eyes, when she finally comes around.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoe8lowxov
She slowly sits up.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv23kB2D5e
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan informs her.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGZzAXO3Wg
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asks.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtZZ2jn1f6
"He didn't," I tell her.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqWc8BRH7Q
"Wait. What?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWvdqZdC7G
Stefan explains to her what Meredith had done.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWzJLO3FVr
"So what? Am I dead?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVyUKZaWaL
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLm8EMk2sD
"No. I can't be."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ6cMdWWro
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIFy00Adfo
"No. You feed or you die. There's no third door," I say, before getting up and leaving the room.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcit3oIMpe
I go downstairs to the kitchen to get a shot glass of liquor from Elena's cupboard.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50af2ohe72
Stefan comes down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfBve6iX6
He watches me.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXj64jgA4f
"You know, you can't do anything about it," I tell my brother. "If she doesn't feed by this afternoon, she'll die tonight."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXR3JtcWl7
"Damon, you weren't there when Elena looked me in the eye and told me she didn't want to become a vampire. We still have a day before she has to turn."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhNsZWqRMk
"Whatever. Always the hero," I comment, grabbing my glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPKrK41Vp
Stefan leaves the room, as I finish my drink.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByrP8l6Ohv
From the kitchen, I hear Elena and Jeremy from the hallway upstairs with my vampire hearing.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPUHUMEbtO
"Jer," she greets.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe26YwHni4
"Are you okay? I watched Vicki go through this, she was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All these old memories came flooding back," Jeremy says.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWigv88Utli
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXdNmbe4cs
"No, you're not. You act like everything's okay so no one worries about you, but you need help."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVdvisuGc
"I said I'm fine, okay?" she says all snappy. "I-I'm sorry. I…Have you talked to Bonnie?" she then says, more herself.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfCup4D2Im
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvUuCVgnCB
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi4P4ksC17
"And what could be more horrible than you turning into a vampire? I need my sister, not another one of them."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVBdm8JUsW
"We're going to find a way out of this. Everything's going to be okay," she tells her little brother.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzgtdwznxp
"I hope so," he says.
752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vu1Mrp9aX
I enter the room at the Mikaelson house behind Rebekah.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsZ0LfNKYP
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYgPb6RZ5f
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpSp2UTxix
Rebekah turns around to face me.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ZJA9AOUY
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdosrei7r
Rebekah turns back around.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO1ro3T7GB
I rush at her with the indestructible White Oak stake. She grabs my wrist and prevents me from killing her. She pushes me against a dresser and I drop the stake.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3tS81SI8y
Suddenly, someone starts firing wooden bullets through the window. I manage to escape, but Rebekah gets shot in the heart with an arrow and falls to the ground.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OExBVSMN6
I'm picking things up that were knocked down during the commotion, when Liz walks into the Gilbert house and Meredith comes into the living room where we're at from the kitchen.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kj73uYfPe
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," I say.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo7yZ5LgAx
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answers me.
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HYPzAvUsv
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away, did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith says.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpvMWrWRsT
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answers her.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLoQpdOfLL
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," I imply.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc514pPbzk
Someone knocks on the front door and then Matt enters the house.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ3NtOic4U
"Hey, is Elena here?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2SXX9ZXtI
I turn around and rush towards Matt. I grab him by the throat and pin him to the wall, choking him.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ8fiLGeEs
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8CgwFtdTU
Meredith tries to pull me off of him.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVipBRX1cCs
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith says.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm15EtLlCTs
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz says.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGauEnSb5L
Matt tries to pry my arm off his throat.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTju0qqokA
I finally release him.
That night, we find out where the council have them at, and Matt Donovan and I go there. I feed a little from the side of Matt's neck before I yell, "Yoo-hoo, big, bad vampire out here!" to try and get someone out of the house. It doesn't work, though. Nobody comes out.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMqFT3QeA
Suddenly, Donovan and I have an argument and I attack him. And just as I go after him, Elena, vamped out, puts herself between Donovan and I, facing me, and says, "Leave him alone!", so I back off.
Later that night, vampire Elena and I stand outside the boarding house, as we talk, facing one another.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4gpTZ3umv
"Damon," she says.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rXmdSsIA
"Yeah?" I reply.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTxVhbIAVm
"I remember; everything. Why didn't you say something?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnpUXYod4w
"It wouldn't have mattered," I answer, before adding, "What is it that you feel for me?"752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSs9gRKd5b
"I care about you, Damon," she answers, though I know it's a lie. She just doesn't see that there's something going on between the both of us. Even my brother can see it. She's lying to herself, Stefan, and I every time she says that she cares about me. It hurts me every time she says that.752Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMASPc2DjX5
I walk inside quietly, leaving Elena outside alone in the darkness.
