Chapter One – Summer Time Elena Gilbert P.O.V I watched Bonnie as she pulled her heavy suitcase with a gorgeous pink and white lily flower design on the front of it out of the backseat of my mini cooper where we had dumped it when we got into my car back at the airport since my luggage had already taken up the whole boot of the car Bonnie had been very lucky I did have a back seat or she would be catching a cap wearing nothing but a pair of short denim short shorts with a white thick lace strap top and sandals and a large heavy suitcase followed with a very large cap fare and after spending the summer in France neither Bonnie or myself were high on funds. Bonnie closed the backseat door behind her and clicked up her long handle for her suitcase and dragged it slightly down the pavement before bending down into the open window of the passenger seat to lead in and talk to me before she headed into her house and saw her family. "Well that is certainly a summer I am going to be forgetting anytime soon" Bonnie said cheerfully. "You know what? I say we head back next summer and enjoy more days on the beach followed with beautiful meals cooked for us at night. What do you think?" I said padding my steering wheel with my fingers excited and up beat. "Sounds like a plan" Bonnie said and gave me a wink. "Hey, how about we meet Caroline at the grill tonight spend sometime with her see how she liked her summer with Matt and her dad" I suggested. Bonnie nodded in agreement "Yeah that sounds great, I know we spoke to her a lot over the summer but a girl needs her girlfriends after spending seven weeks with no one but her dad and boyfriend together" she said. We both laughed together. "Alright ill call you later and we can arrange a time" I said reaching for my radio and turning the music up. Bonnie leaned out of the window and began pulling her suitcase behind her as she headed up with pathway towards her house turning around to wave to me after she had eventually made it up the stairs of her porch. I checked my mirrors and then pulled back onto the street heading towards my house. As I drove I couldnt help but feel more and more excited by the second, in less than five minutes I was going to see Jenna and Jeremy for the first time in what felt like months. Sure France had been wonderful but when you are away for an entire summer you sure do miss your family and get home sick a lot. Going to France had been my idea, after we had managed to trap Klaus inside the old house where all the witches had been killed hundreds of years ago I decided I needed to get away and thankfully it was just the start of summer and school was out. Stefan had not been thrilled about me spending the whole summer without him but when the opportunity of spending the summer at Duke University and getting finally getting to see Isobel's research for himself came up suddenly the thought of me going to France was at the back of his mind. I didnt understand why Stefan wanted to go there in the first place. We no longer had to worry about the sacrifice it was never going to happen not now we had Klaus locked away. None of us had even heard from Katherine after Klaus had kidnapped her. I didn't understand why Stefan

wanted all this research when it was finally time for us just to be together and be like a normal happy couple. I was the one who came up with the idea of going to France well I guess for starters I never thought of going to France I just thought of leaving for the summer. It was sort of confusing how it all happened, it all started two weeks before Bonnie and I left on holiday. I had been starting to have very emotional and heated dreams about Damon when I really didnt want too. So at first I thought maybe Damon was playing mind games with me when I had gone to bed at night so I figured I would ingested more vervain into my system and so I did. I would start adding vervain into my morning cups of college into my salads during dinner and even added it into my glass of water I kept for during the night on my nightstand. Yet nothing stopped the dreams and I was beginning to get extremely worried when I actually found myself wanting to sleep longer and wanting my day to finish fast so I could crawl back into my lovely warm thick sheets and dream of him all night long. And so not wanting to ruin my relationship with Stefan and allow my little dreams to ruin everything I had build I decided to take off for the summer and leave Damon and my dreams behind me. So here I am today driving back down into my street my mind clear and focused and free of any thoughts about Damon and his charming and beautiful eyes that could melt any and every heart. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I was standing in Jenna's kitchen with Alaric Jenna and Andy discussing Andy's recent broadcast about two missing bikers found in the windows completely drained of blood. Alaric had overheard Andy telling Jenna this same story twenty minutes ago and had called me telling me it's best that I get over there just so I have the scoop for when I hunt down this new vampire or vampires I was still a little fuzzy on the details. Andy always stopped half way through her stories to discuss the newest bags and skinny jeans with Jenna as Alaric and I stood next to one another rolling our eyes impatiently. "Hello, Im home" I heard Elena call as the front door to the Gilbert house opened up. I leaned against the kitchen counter as Alaric and Jenna brushed past me quickly running to see Elena who was apparently back from her little summer vacation with the little witchy. Andy smiled and tucked her arms around my waist smiling as she leaded in and kissed me. If there was something I hated more than life its self it was Andy's scent, it smelt of oranges and prunes not something you wanted on your lips or on your skin or scratch that close to you what so ever. "You look so beautiful I am so glad you are home I missed you so much" I heard Jenna said out of the hallway. "She really hasn't been the same since you left, its really good to have you home" I then heard Alaric say. "Oh by the way Andy and Damon stopped by you should go in and say hello" I then heard Jenna say. The second I heard footsteps heading in the direction of the kitchen I decided not to stay and go the im so happy you are back speech and so I grabbed Andy by her elbow and pulled her out of the kitchen through the back garden past the house and back onto the street where Andy had parked her jeep. "What was that?" Andy asked trying to find her feet in her giant high heels that I just hated.

I smirked at her and grabbed either sides of her head feeling her hair slip through my fingers as I focused her eyes right on mine so I could begin compelling her. "When Jenna asks you where you and I took off too you will tell her that you got a tip from your source about you're story, you had to take off that tip turned out to be fake and you were very disappointed" I told her keeping my eyes focused on hers. "The tip was a complete bust, I am really disappointed about it" Andy said. I kissed her nose gently "Good girl" I said and in a flash took off out of her sight and everyone else's for that matter. I just wanted to be left alone for a few hours I wanted to be able to walk around my house by myself and not have to deal with new vampires in town or the return of my little brothers girlfriend whom of course I do was totally in love with. Ring Ring Ring... I rolled my eyes as my hand slipped into my front jean's pocket and pulled out my blackberry with an incoming call from Stefan flashing on the screen. "But the one thing above everything that I really dont want to deal with is you, brother" I said looking at the screen which of course continued to ring. "What?" I answered blankly and straight to the point. "And hello to you to, Damon" Stefan said. "Stop smirking Stefan one it doesn't suit you and two its my signature thing" I told him. "Can you see me?" Stefan asked almost gasping. "No you idiot, but you always smirk when you either see or hear I am in a mood" "Wanna you want Stefan?" I asked rubbing my eyes. "I am just checking by and wanted to tell you that Elena should be home this week" he told me. "She's not back yet already is she?" Stefan asked picking up on my silence. "Haven't seen her" I answered, I wasn't exactly lying to him this way. "Alright well that's everything I had to talk about. Anything I should know about?" Stefan pressed. New vampires in town and I am avoiding you're girlfriend I thought. "Nothing that comes to mind" I told him. "Ok good, ill be home by the end of the week see you then" "Bye bye" I said sarcastically. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I had brought my suitcase up into my bedroom with me after I had gave Jenna Alaric and Jeremy their gifts I had bought for them in France. I had gotten Jenna a teal stoned ring with a golden

ban. I got Alaric an old French book on the werewolf attacks there dating from the eighteenth century and I had gotten Jeremy a large set of paints he could use in his drawings. Now I was upstairs in my bedroom unpacking the rest of my suitcase throwing all my clothes into the laundry basket I had brought in from the bathroom and placed at the end of my bed right beside me so it was easier. I had called Caroline a few minutes ago and asked her about coming to the grill tonight with Bonnie and I and she had agreed to come along, she sounded so happy to hear from me I think she had really missed the both of us over the summer and we had missed her too. Once I had thrown all my clothes into the basket beside me I zipped my suitcase back up and then opened up the back part of my case and reached both hands inside of it sliding out a package I had gotten wrapped over in France because I didnt want it to be damaged. It was a gift I had picked up for Damon while I was over there, I had saw it in one of the stores one days and knew instantly that I was going to get it for him. I pulled the suitcase off my bed and took it over to my wardrobe where I placed it right at the bottom all empty and ready for when I returned to France next year with Bonnie and hopefully maybe even Caroline this time too. I walked back over to my bed and dragged the now heavy laundry basket back into the bathroom. As I walked back into my room I couldnt help but stare at what was left on my bed, I had carried Stefan's gift in my carry on because it was so small I didnt want to loss it. I had gotten him a crystal it was lovely it was white and the man in the market I had gotten it from told me it meant faith and Stefan could always use some more of that. Then sitting right next to his gift was Damon's gift all packed up and tidy ready to give to him. It was in that second as I stared at the package I remembered Jenna and I only an hour ago walking into the kitchen hoping to find Damon and Andy inside and found nothing but the kitchen completely empty and the backdoor doors wide open. I had wondered if they really had slipped out or if Damon had heard me and decided to run not wanting to deal with my return just yet. I walked over to my bed and picked up my diary it was yet another thing I made sure to pack in my carry on bag. I slipped the pen out and opened up to a fresh new page leaning the diary against my thigh for balance. Dear Diary, I was wrote I am not a believer people are born are born they grow old and they die. Even to this day every single time I open this diary I am reminded of that time when I believed fairy tales were fake and that there were no monsters underneath my bed. I am a grown up now...well I am very mature for my age anyway and yet today I find myself wondering about fairytales and if there was really once a time when these stories were true for some people. After all there are women who find there prince charming (Cinderella) and there are women who's friends don't think the man they are dating is not very attractive and yet the women loves him anyway (Beauty and the beast) So if I was to actually believe in these stories what girl would I be? My love life wasn't your typical girl meets boy they fall in love story...it was so much more complicated... Damon Salvatore P.O.V I stood at the coffee machine reputably pressing the on switch trying to get a drink since we had already ran out of bloodbags, Katherine seemed to clear us out when she was staying with us. I rolled my eyes and moaned as I tried flicking on the on switch for the blender right next to it and found it didnt turn on either.

I reached into my jeans pocket and pulled out my blackberry and hit my speed dial three to call Alaric, I hoped up onto the kitchen counter and waited as the phone rang. "Damon" Alaric answered. "Hey is it just my house or is there a problem with the electrics around town?" I asked him. "No its the same here at Jenna's house, so what happened to you and Andy you took off before seeing Elena" "Andy had to leave" I told him. "Sure she did" Alaric mumbled. I rolled my eyes and heard Alaric sigh. "Look I got a buddy he is coming over to Jenna's house in the morning ill get him to hop over to the boarding house right after he will fix everything" Alaric said. "Thanks" I mumbled as it wasn't one of my favourite words. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I got out of my mini cooper holding Damon's gift in my arm as I got out, I closed the car door behind me and turned on the alarm before slipping my car keys into my jacket pocket. I had spoken to Stefan and he had told me he would be back home at the end of the week so I figured I would try and get out of an awkward moment between both brothers and give Damon his gift right now. I walked up to the boarding house door and rung the bell and took a step back holding the package in both hands now I felt my heart skip a beat as I heard someone walking towards the door. The door opened and Damon stood at the other side, he was wearing a black jumper that was cut into a v shape slightly around his neck and he was wearing black jeans and a black leather belt around his waist. "Elena" Damon said. He took a step back and pulled open the door slightly. "I cant stay sorry, I just wanted to give this to you" I said with a smile and held out the package. Damon smirked and took the package off me he examined it slightly before looking back over to me, I didnt realize until now just how much I missed his famous smirk. "It's not going to explode is it?" Damon asked. I smiled "No, its just a little something I came across in France and decided to get for you" I said. Damon looked down at the package in his hands and then back up at me. "Thank you" he said. I smiled again knowing how much he hated to say thank you. I folded my arms together "Alaric said your electricity is off too" I said.

"Yeah it is but good thing about living in a very old house is that we have a lot of fireplaces and candles" I took a deep breath "Has there been any problems with Klaus? Is he still locked in there?" I asked. "I checked in last night actually he was standing by one of the windows shaking his head at me" he told me then smirked. Klaus wouldn't decrease as fast as your typical vampire without any blood he would takes years because of his age. Bonnie knew this and so made a spell up stopping any human from going under compulsion while around the house, this way Klaus was truly powerless. "How was France?" Damon asked. "Warm" I answered and laughed. I ran my hand through my hair and shrugged "It was fine I suppose I just wanted to get away for a few weeks you know" I said. Damon nodded. I took a step back and huffed "Well I better get going I am meeting Bonnie and Caroline at the grill in an hour and I still have to get ready" I told him. "Ok, have you told Stefan you're back?" Damon asked. I nodded. "Ok good that's good" Damon mumbled. "I'll see you soon" I said with a smile and headed back in the direction of my car pulling my car keys back out of my pocket as I walked. Damon Salvatore P.O.V When Elena pulled out of the driveway I finally closed the door after seeing her drive out of sight. I looked down at the package in my hands and wondered why Elena had gotten me a gift, we were friends but I never expected a gift. Then again it was probably going to be a little thing so that whatever she got her loving boyfriend looked a hundred times better. I looked into the parlour room and saw Andy sitting in there on one of the sofa's with paperwork all around her and her laptop of her lap as she typed. I shrugged my shoulders and in a flash shot from downstairs to upstairs, I wondered into my bedroom and sat the package down on my bed and stood at the side of the bed as I started to open it up. It had all been packaged up well in brown packing at start and then inside was packaged with tissues protecting whatever was inside of it. "John Varvatos" I said as I looked down at the black leather jacket in front of me. I reached down and touched the leather it felt great, this design was very rare and had caught my eye once but they didnt sell them in the states. "But they did have them in international" I whispered remembering she had been in France when she bought it. I smirked and picked the jacket up taking it with me as I went into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirrors. I scooped both arms into the jacket and pulled it on over my shoulders, it

fitted me perfectly and looked pretty darn great. Then again everything looked good on me with me being such a hottie. "Elena, you have a good eye" I whispered to myself. Elena Gilbert P.O.V "Caroline you look amazing I love your summer tan" I said as I hugged her again as she all sat down at the grill together. I smiled looking around seeing us girls just hanging out with each other again it was just like old times. The grill had no power so the whole place was light up by the orange candles sitting on each table and on the bar. I liked it like this it made the grill more warm looking and less like well the grill I guess. "Hello everyone, I guess you are wondering how this microphone could possibly work since the town has no power" a man said behind us. I turned around and saw Bob the owner of the grill standing in the middle of the stage with a group of boys behind him setting up all sorts of equipment. "But surprisingly my son is come up with a way on his computer to power of this karaoke machine so we figured we would forget about the power and have a karaoke night" Bob said. There was some cheering all around us and Bonnie and I clapped. I turned around to Caroline and smiled and Caroline laughed and shook her head. "No way am I going up there again its so scary" Caroline told us. "Oh come on Caroline you were great last time and plus you have faced a werewolf before I think that makes you very brave" I said smiling. Caroline smiled and then pulled her hair behind her ear and closed her eyes slightly. "Caroline?" I asked shaking her arm slightly. "Damon's here with Alaric and Andy that reporter" Caroline told me as she opened her eyes. "Oh" I said simply. "I am so hungry honestly Caroline you would not believe the food on the airplane it would make you sick" Bonnie said picking up a menu. "Uh Bonnie there wont be any food being served tonight, no power remember" Caroline told her. "I am going to go to bathroom" I said slipping out of my chair. Damon Salvatore P.O.V Jenna Carol and Liz were having a night in at Jenna's house and Alaric not wanting to be a part of that at all invited me out to the grill for some bourbon which of course I agreed too. Andy had still be at my house when I was leaving and had decided to tag along to my disappointment. We were all standing at the bar now drinking while Andy filed Alaric in about her most recent research into the vampire story which she had already told me about in the car on the way over. So I stood in silence sipping my drink and caught Alaric's eye who was looking at my jacket.

Alaric looked up to me then and mouthed "New?" I nodded slightly. I suddenly caught a Elena walking towards the women's bathroom just over Alaric's shoulder. She looked even better than she had today when she had come over to the house. She was wearing a white dress with a big white flower corsage on one of the sides of her waist along with a pair of black leggings underneath it and simple white ballet shoes. Her hair was straight and down falling over her face. "I'll be back" I said placing my glass on the bar. I began walking through the crowds of people and caught Caroline and Bonnie sitting at one of the tables in front of the stage thankfully neither of them saw me heading towards the bathroom. I approached the women's bathroom door and leaned my head in slightly between the crack where the door had been left open. I saw no one inside but decided to be extra sure, I pressed my ear against the cold wooden bathroom door and closed my eyes so I could focus as I tuned out the rest of the noise coming from all around the grill and just focused on the noise in the bathroom to find the only thing I could hear was a heartbeat. I looked behind me just to make sure no one saw me going inside. I entered the women's bathroom and quietly snipped the lock on the door behind me. Elena wasn't anywhere to be seen when I stepped inside, I bent my knees down and saw a step of white ballet shoes in one of the bathroom stalls, Elena appeared to just be standing inside. I didnt know why or understood why I was doing it but I walked up to the end toilet stall that Elena was inside. I brought my hand up against the wood of the side of the stall and quietly brushed my hand down it. I brought myself closer to the stall so close that my chest was up against it. I could feel Elena's warmth right through the wood and in that second I knew without a doubt in my mind Elena knew I was there on the other side. I looked down and saw Elena's feet turn around and watched them as they pointed in my direction I then slightly gasped as I felt warmth through the wood against my palm. Did Elena have her hand against mine? I pressed my forehead against the wood and somehow believed Elena was doing the exact same thing from inside. I didnt understand what was happening, Elena and I somehow felt each other in a way deeper than we thought was possible. What are you doing? I thought. I pushed myself away from the wood and took myself out of the bathroom completely slamming the door shut behind me I returned to the orange glowing grill and back over to the bar where Alaric and Andy were ordering a new round of drinks. "Been busy?" Alaric asked as I approached them. "What?" I asked trying to stop my eyes from widening in guilt. Alaric looked at me like I had lost it "The men's room is it busy?" he asked. "Uh no" I told him. "Good" Alaric said and put down his drink leaving Andy and I alone as he went to the restroom. "You took your time" Andy said as she dug around for something in her handbag.

"Should have been out faster" I whispered. I watched Andy as she pulled a small plastic bag out of her handbag and hide it from everyone's eyes as she opened up the bag and poured something white out onto the bar. "Are you nuts?" I asked her grabbing her arm. "Hey I need this to keep myself skinny" Andy said. I pushed her out of the way and whipped the white poured off the bar and poured it into Andy's glass of white wine. I then grabbed Andy and locked our eyes firmly together. "You will never take this stuff again, go to the gym if you want to loss a few pounds don't fill your body with this junk" I said compelling her. "You understand me?" I said. "I understand" Andy said keeping her eyes firmly on mine. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I sat back down with Bonnie and Caroline and found they had bought in a round of drinks and gotten a bowl of nuts and chips for us to eat. "Was there a line?" Bonnie asked. I smiled "No, its just hard to put on lip gloss in the dark" I said. We laughed. Caroline leaded towards me "So Bonnie and I were talking while you were in the bathroom and we think you should sing tonight" she said. I was the only one laughing this time. I stopped when I saw the seriousness in their faces "Your serious?" I said. "Elena you use to love to sing" Bonnie said. "Yeah but its been ages" I said. Caroline brought a piece of paper from her lap and placed it on the table in front of me, I looked down at it and it was a list of songs you could sing tonight. "Guys" I said shaking my head. "If you wont do it for you Elena, then do it for us you're two wonderful friends who happen to love your singing" Caroline said. I looked at both of them and they both smiled back at me. I huffed "Alright let's take a look at that list" I moaned. Damon Salvatore P.O.V "So that's everything that I know" Andy said.

"Thank god" I moaned finally hearing her finish telling Alaric about her new research. Alaric yawned "Good thank you Andy" he said. "Heading home teacher?" I asked as I tapped my glass for the barmen to re-fill. "Yeah" Alaric answered as he got on his coat. I looked over at Andy and she smiled "And you, you can go home too" I said. "Damon" Alaric moaned. I rolled my eyes and smiled at Andy "Go home sweetie you look tired" I said. I turned around to Alaric and he sighed "It's the best you will get tonight" I told him. I watched Alaric and Andy leave the grill and then turned around to my fresh of bourbon I brought it up to my lips and smiled at least something made me happy tonight, and I didnt have to be in the bathroom to have it either. Elena Gilbert P.O.V "Alright ladies and gentlemen opening up our karoke night lights out night singing the beacon a fine frenzy is Elena Gilbert" Bob the owner of the grill said into the microphone as I headed up the stairs to the stage. I smiled hearing the crowd cheering for me, I stood in behind the microphone and smiled as Bonnie and Caroline gave me a wave. As the music started to play I tried to find something to focus on as I sung otherwise I would be too nervous to sing at all. My focus stopped right at the bar when I found Damon looking right at me sitting watching me and wearing the leather jacket I had bought for him in France too. I didnt understand but all of a sudden the panicky feeling inside my gut disappeared and all there was was Damon and I and the song. My eyes locked on Damon's and I stared to sing. "You say your time has come. You're tired of waking up. Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of living without you" I sung. The crowd cheered hearing me start my song. I reached my hand up to my face and gently brushed my finger tips across my eye. "You say you drag us down no one should want you now. When I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say I'm not allowed to" I sung Damon titled his head slightly to a side at this point. "Burning beacon in the night can't feel its heat, or see its light. That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes" I sung still looking right at him. I looked down at the floor for a few seconds as the music played and then returned to Damon's gaze and wondered if singing this next part looking at him was the best idea, but there was no way I couldnt not look at him, not now.

"You were a child forgot lessons of love untaught now no embrace can quite replace. The one that never found you" I sung. Damon did look away for a few seconds but to my complete surprised he returned and looked straight back at me again. I placed my palm against my chest and began to sing again. "I was raised tenderly all that was taught to me I will apply your parents tried but they didn't know how to" I sung. I dropped my hand slowly back down to my side. "Burning beacon in the night can't feel its heat, or see its light that single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes" I sung again. My eyes fixed right on his as I began to sing after the music played again. "Let me stand by you, the honor is mine" I sung. Damon not too sure looked away not sure what to do until he heard me repeat it and looked right back. "Let me stand by you loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light" I sung. "Burning beacon in the night can't feel its heat, or see its light that single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes" I sung finishing my song. The crowd began cheering and clapping for me I could hear Bonnie and Caroline through all the crowd. Damon surprisingly got up off his seat as he clapped his hands. I continued to watch Damon he tug into the inside pocket of his jacket and placed a white piece of paper onto the grill and then just took off in a flash only me being the one to notice this. I suddenly became aware I was still standing on the stage. I turned back to the crowd and thanked them for their cheers and headed off the stage and back over to my table where Caroline and Bonnie were still cheering. "Elena that was amazing" Caroline said. "You did so great" Bonnie said. "Thanks, I am going to go to the bar and get us some drinks" I told them. I was almost running towards the bar I couldnt wait to see the note Damon had left for me, maybe he was telling me to stop singing to him or maybe he liked the song. I rushed over to the note left behind and pulled it open and started reading. Stefan called he will be back in two days he is hurrying to come home – Damon I closed the note over and sighed I couldnt believe what I was doing I had spent an entire summer trying to forget about Damon and now here I was running around hoping he had left me a note. I looked across from where I had found the note and picked up a glass of white wine that looked like it hadn't even been touched I downed the entire glass and wanted more I wanted to forget about this night and fast. I was just about to order new drinks for us when all of a sudden I became very dizzy.

I placed my hand on my forehead and tried to catch my breath as the room around me began to spin and spin. I knew I needed some fresh air but didnt think I could make it back over to Bonnie and Caroline so I left the grill without them. I pushed open the grill doors and came out into the cold fresh air I breathed in heavily and the world seemed to stop going at a hundred miles an hour actually it slowed down completely and I started to feel pretty good very good actually. I ran my hands over my neck enjoying how beautiful and sexy I felt all of a sudden. I turned around and looked down the street and down the road that led to the boarding house. "Damon" I whispered into the night and began walking. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I had gotten home only fifteen minutes ago and had alright set up candles everywhere around the house not realizing just how dark this place actually got without light. I set big thick white candles on each step leading upstairs too. I was just about to head upstairs myself when there was a knock at the door and the person would not stop knocking. I rolled my eyes annoyed and walked up to the front door and yanked it open half expecting a stupid kid to be on the other side. Instead I found Elena with both her hands pressed against either side of the doorway her arms covered in mud her hair messed up with little sticks and leafs inside of it and her feet bare and covered in wet mud. Elena looked at me smiling a smile I didnt know if I was going to like. "Hello Damon" Elena said seductively "Are you ok?" I asked. Elena bit her lower lip and then smiled. "Elena what have you been doing?" I asked seeing how muddy she was. Elena stepped towards me and I could smell something on her breath. "I walked through the forest to get here faster" Elena whispered. I reached both hands up and cupped both her cheeks and began checking her eyes as Elena moaned and ran her hands up and down my arms. "Damon" Elena purred. "Elena, have you taken something?" I asked panicked. "A glass of white wine" she whispered trying to move closer to my lips. "No" I told her and pushed her to my side pulling her into the house and closing the door behind us. "Yes Damon yes" Elena said as she pushed me up against the back of the door. "That's what you really want to say" Elena purred brushing her fingers against my lips. "And you can have it tonight" Elena said taking a step away from me.

Elena turned her back on me and began walking down the hall I followed her and then watched her as she headed up to the staircase, she turned to me and blew me a kiss and began heading up the stairs. I had a choice to make I could either leave her up there alone or I could go up there and be with her tonight. The lights in the hallway lit up in that second and the power finally began working again. I looked at the staircase and started walking. An hour later... I was standing in my shower with Elena both of us fully clothed and Elena leading her back against my chest as I held her close to me and ran my hands over her forehead keeping the hair away from her eyes as the hot water continued to hit against us both. "It's just the drug Elena, its just the drug" I continued to whispered to her. "I want you" Elena said trying to kiss me. I moved away from her reach and continued to hold and reassure her. "You're going to be alright" I whispered in her ear. "You're going to be alright" Follow You Forever Chapter Two – Jealous Elena Gilbert P.O.V I began to wake myself up slowly flickering my eyes open nice and slow as they felt sore and heavy even though I felt like I had been sleeping for days I still felt exhausted. I moved my head slightly waiting to feel the comfort of my pillow against me but instead found hardness and bones. I opened up my eyes and found myself lying across Damon's chest while he slept soundly. I tried desperately to try and focus myself into remembering what had happened the previous night and yet everything was a complete blur to me. I looked down at myself and found I was dressed in a pair of black boxers and a long heavy jumper that smelt just like Damon. I bit my lower lip and began to worry that I had done or said something stupid and Damon and I had landed up in bed together. I was very confused but I did began to wonder that if we actually had slept together then neither of us would have woken up fully clothed. I leaned up off of Damon's chest pulling myself up on his bed, his silky and soft sheets felt really nice to touch. I ran my hands over my face and then through my hair pulling it out of my eyes. Something happened last night to make me go a complete blank and it wasn't drinking I couldnt taste any alcohol on my breath. I turned my head and looked over my shoulder back at Damon and began to wonder if I would actually have felt bad if we had slept together. I hated the thought of hurting Stefan but I loved the thought of being with Damon more and it scared me. If my love for Stefan was true and eternal then why right now did I want Damon more than ever? I found myself again biting my lower lip as I scanned Damon's body over and over again. He was wearing a v neck t-shirt and a pair of black boxers. I loved his arms the way they looked and they way they felt against you when you were near him. His entire body was rock hard with muscles and he had one part of him that I wanted to see more than anything else and wanted to see it right now.

I knew I was crazy at this point when I found myself kneeling at the side of him and reaching for the waist line of his boxers. Anyone could walk into this room at any moment and witness what I was about to do and somehow the thrill of doing it made me not care about the consequences. I pulled down Damon's boxers and almost gasped as I got sight of his groin. That old saying that size means everything wouldn't make Damon nervous at all, I would say one thing about Damon at this moment in time he had truly been blessed. The sight of Damon's groin made my entire body fill with butterflies and a warmth that made my toes curl. Damon was completely hairless apart from a long snake that start just at his waist line. He was so big it made my mouth water, he was so much bigger than Stefan and I didnt think that was possible. Damon could wake up at any moment and see me watching him like this. He could freak out and force me to leave his room and the house. But Damon had somehow taken care of me last night I had no memory and yet I landed up safe and sound and in his arms. Maybe giving into temptation once wasn't wrong and after all I owned him after last night, perhaps giving him a little special thank you just once couldnt hurt anyone. I moved my tongue out between my lips and began licking them making them wet. I slowly moved down towards his groin feeling myself tickle somewhere I had never before. I reached down and gently grasped the top of his groin and wrapped my thump and finger around it picking it up gently. I opened up my mouth and put it over Damon's groin coating it with my mouth completely until I reached the end giving him deep throat. Damon tasted absolutely delicious and it made me forget about Stefan completely in that moment, the taste of him made me want more and more. Without even thinking that I would wake him up I began sucking on Damon's groin hard and fast. My hair was falling over my face and my forehead was beginning to sweat and all I could smell was Damon around me. Suddenly I felt Damon move under my touch I stopped sucking on his now harden groin and looked up to find Damon had woken up. "What are you doing?" Damon asked. I ignored him completely and turned back to his groin where I placed my mouth back over it giving him deep throat again and again and to my surprise Damon began moaning. "Elena" Damon moaned as I heard him grab his headboard. I continued sucking and sucking very hard feeling Damon under me enjoying the experience, hearing Damon moan for me and what I was doing to him turned me on more than Stefan ever had in my entire relationship with him. "Aw Aw Elena" Damon moaned and moved his hand through my now sweaty hair. I loved the fact that Damon was not scared to be rough with me I enjoyed that he didnt think of me as something that could be broken if pushed to much. Damon knew I was wild in my heart and that I just needed someone else to see it. "Damon" I said as I moved my mouth down to his balls and began planting little butterfly kisses on them. "Jesus" Damon shouted at the top of his lungs.

I went back to sucking on his groin because I enjoyed doing that more than anything, Damon was still pulling hard on my hair and it made me feel sexy he needed to touch me just as much as I needed to touch him. "Oh god Elena" Damon moaned gripping hard on my hair. "Elena!" Damon shouted as he filed my mouth with his cum. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I was sitting on the side of my bed watching Elena sleep as I sipped my morning coffee, she was wearing a long black robe I had put over her when we had stepped out of the shower last night. I had put her in my bed and I had slept in Stefan's bedroom just so I was close to her in case she had a bad reaction to the drugs she had taken by accident. Elena must have some interesting dreams because she was lying in front of me sleeping but had a big smile on her face. I hadn't had enough blood this week to pop inside her head and see what she was doing that was making her so happy but I figured maybe the drugs hadn't completely left her system yet. I could just hear Stefan now yelling at me for something I had nothing to do with and yet would be blamed for. "Damon" Elena whispered. "Hey, you finally awake or is this yet another false alarm cause I gotta tell you Elena there getting annoying" I told her and then smirked. Elena opened her eyes and looked over at me sitting on the side of the bed and then looked down at the robe I had put on her last night so she wouldn't be cold. "Was I dreaming?" Elena whispered closing her eyes. I shrugged "I don't know" I said and took another sip of my coffee. Elena looked back over at me again and then ran her hands over her eyes rubbing them trying to wake herself up properly. She pulled herself up in bed and looked over to me. "What happened last night?" she asked me. "Do you want me to be honest?" I asked. She nodded. "I found out little Andy took coke to keep herself skinny I compelled her to stop taking it and I dumped all the junk into a wine glass which by the looks of it you drank" I told her. "I had the best dream" Elena mumbled. I smirked "Was I there?" I asked. "No" Elena said. "Shame" I said and handed her my coffee which she took. "So you're telling me I was on drugs?" Elena said after taking a sip. "And that's all I am telling you"

"No come on what did I do? How did I end up here last night?" Elena asked. I huffed "I don't know how you managed to get here but you did, you sort of tried to hit on me which of course I rejected because I am such a gentlemen" I said smirking. Elena half smiled. "I brought you into my room and took you into my shower and I stood in there with you both fully clothed don't worry, I just stayed until the drug began to wear off" I told her. I looked over at her and shrugged my shoulders. "Wrapped you up in the robe you are wearing now and waited with you until you finally slept it off" I told her. "Thank you, that was unbelievably nice of you" Elena said. Elena Gilbert P.O.V After I had come home from the boarding house and got myself changed into a fresh pair of clothes I called Caroline and asked her to come over to my house for a while. Caroline happily agreed to come over and was here before I knew it. We sat together on my bed, me at the top of the bed holding onto one of my pillows while Caroline sat at the bottom her jaw dropped as I filed her in on why I went to France in the first place and the dream I had had this morning. "O M G" Caroline gasped. "Caroline, I just need a little support right now" I said and dropped my head into the pillow. "Yeah you're totally right im sorry" Caroline said and moved up in my bed and sat down next to me. "What are you going to do about this Elena?" she asked. I sighed "I think I am going to tell him" I said. "Are you insane!" Caroline shouted. "Shh" I whispered. I leaned my head against my headrest "I think if I tell him if I get it out in the open then maybe we could deal with it and make all these fantasy's go away" I said. "No way Elena alright that is the last thing you want to do" I sighed yet again "Caroline what else am I suppose to do? I I have run out of answers" I told her. Caroline shrugged "You could always just enjoy these fantasy's until they go away. I mean are they good?" she asked. I turned and faced her and had a flash through my mind of seeing Damon's apes sweating as I ran my hand over them dragging my nails against them. "They're great" I told her. "There is nothing wrong with a little fantasy" Caroline told me.

"I just need to fight hard to make sure they don't become a reality" I said. Damon Salvatore P.O.V "Aw aw Damon!" I jumped up in my bed sweating and grabbing my sheets hard against my chest as I panted. Memories of my dream flashed through my mind making me dizzy, Elena's tongue against mine as we slept together in her bed screaming and shouting like there was no tomorrow. "This isn't good" I whispered. "Im home" Stefan called. Elena Gilbert P.O.V Dear Diary, I don't know what to do and for someone who always has a plan for things is making me crazy! What if Caroline is right and I allow myself to accept the fantasy's? But what if she is wrong and I wide up losing everything... A little fantasy cant hurt that's what everyone says, I believe the person who first came up with this saying must have been someone watching a friend have a fantasy because in no way do you feel great when you are truly caught up in a real fantasy I feel like I am cheating on Stefan. I love Stefan I really do but something lately is telling me that Stefan doesn't ever need to find out and sleeping with Damon just once might fix this itch. I cant believe I am actually writing this but...I think I want Damon more than Stefan and I think I want to get this done now. Ring Ring Ring I placed my diary onto my bed and reached over and picked up my blackberry off my nightstand. I looked at the caller ID and almost gasped seeing Stefan's name flashing, I was very grateful at that moment in time that vampires couldnt really read your mind, because if Stefan really knew my true thoughts he would be calling to yell or break up with me right now. "Stefan" I said answering the call. "Im back home I was thinking I could come over for a few hours" Stefan said. I looked down at my diary still open at the page I had just written in and looked at a line I had written fix this itch. "Come over ill be waiting under the covers" I said. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I walked up to Stefan's bedroom doorway and leaned against it while I sipped my glass of blood in my hand and watch Stefan as he danced around his bedroom putting on colon and picking out a dark green shirt. "What are you doing?" I asked him. Stefan smiled "Im heading over to Elena's house in five minutes" he told me.

"Why are you so up beat its not like you, where is my crazy forehead brother?" I asked and took another sip. "Aw there is the Damon humour again" Stefan said buttoning up his shirt. "Yes where is the jealous Stefan away too? Doesnt it bother you I have been alone with Elena for almost two days?" I asked smirking. Stefan pushed his blackberry into his back pocket as he walked towards me smiling. He padded my shoulder as he walked past me. "Im the one who gets to be with her now so no, no jealously" Stefan said and headed down the steps to his room. The glass in my hand suddenly smashed under my tight hold, I looked down and watched as my palm began healing I wish I could heal this pain I suddenly felt in my chest. A pain I hadn't felt this bad since I was human. I placed my hand against my chest and realized what was wrong. I was angry pissed off and above everything I was jealous. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I had tried so hard to make myself enjoy making love with Stefan and yet I found it completely impossible. I found myself no longer turned on by the look in Stefan's eye as he pulled me against him, no longer having the thrill of his lips touching mine. It was official now as I lay here next to him that we were both in different places and that I was no longer in love with him. I don't know when it had happened but over the course of the year I had fallen in love with Damon and had fallen out of love with Stefan. I didnt understand how I didnt even know this until now when there were clear signs, I fantasized about Damon and his perfect red lips I imagined what it would be like being in the shower with him this time without me being on drugs. I turned and looked at Stefan fast asleep in my bed and realized it was over. Chapter Three – A Feeling Damon Salvatore P.O.V If there was one thing I have learned through the years beside don't trust or depend on anyone besides yourself was that life would always be impractical and for the one's we loved most complete unfair. We wish time and time again we could turn back time and change our ways mend our sins change everything so life can be the way it always was. But it's just not in us to bend the rules of time if it was I would change time and go back and not walk into Stefan's bedroom this morning and not see the one thing that would haunt me for the entire day. This morning I woke up with one thought on my mind and that was I was going to finally confess to Stefan how I felt about Elena, I thought it was time he started to realize ignoring my love for her wasn't going to keep working and he was going to have to face facts that somewhere deep down in Elena she had feelings for me too and it was time she made a choice between us. That was this morning and sure enough after I had gotten myself a morning cup of blood and a fresh change of clothes I marched right up to Stefan's bedroom staying complete form to my believes. Only when I opened up his bedroom door my love for Elena was the last thing on my mind. I watched in horror as both Stefan and Caroline bounced up in Stefan's bed both of them covering themselves with his bed sheet protecting there was obvious naked bodies underneath them. Stefan looked at me our eyes had fixed firmly on each others, his eyes were full of worry and fear

while I was sure mine were filed with anger and hurt. Caroline of course looked scared for her own selfish reasons but when I finally made eye contact with her she finally couldnt bring herself to look up at all she was so ashamed with herself. So now I was sitting in the back yard of the boarding house on the long stairs leading down into the garden, I was on the middle of the stairs sitting with a large glass of bourbon between my hands as I listened to Stefan entering the back yard through the kitchen door. His footsteps were short and slow and I knew why, he would be trying to figure out a way to convince me not to tell Elena about what I saw this morning. Stefan sat down on the same step as me but across at the other side so we weren't too close together, I was glad to see my brothers brain hadn't gone while he was sleeping with Barbie. Stefan was fully aware that right now I could and would quite happily kill him with my own two hands for what he had done to Elena. "Damon-" "Do you remember when we were little and you broke dad's favourite picture of our grandparents?" I asked interrupting him. "I do" Stefan answered simply. I smiled and still looking straight ahead "You were so scared of dad taking his belt to you that I told you I would tell him I did it. Then instead of hitting me with his belt dad beat me so hard we had to get the doctor out" I said. I saw Stefan looked down at the corner of my eye. "I was in bed for two weeks because of what he did to me that day. And even as I lay there fighting to breathe because of the bruises on my chest I still kept my word for you" I said and placed my glass down at my side. I finally looked over at Stefan and he looked at me and for the first time since this morning he did look as sorry as I hoped he eventually would be. "You're a big boy now and I am not going to protect you, tell Elena today" I told him. I got up to my feet and began walking up the stairs I heard Stefan scrabble to his feet behind me. "No Damon wait I cant tell Elena it would kill her" Stefan called. I turned around to him and smirked "Please, it wont kill her it will give her the respect she deserves" I said. "What do you mean?" Stefan asked as I began walking up the stairs again. "Forget it" I told her rolling my eyes. "I said tell me" Stefan shouted grabbing my shoulder. I turned back around to face Stefan but turned too quickly I guessed and never realized the amount of pressure Stefan had been putting on my shoulder because all of a sudden I was falling down the stairs. "No!" I heard Stefan shout.

I fell from step to step feeling the concrete rip apart my sleeves as I fell, I moaned as I hit the ground below hard. I could faintly hear Stefan racing down to my aid as my world became dull, I watched Stefan hover over me as he repeatedly said my name trying to get me to respond. I smirked seconds away from passing out with the pain and opened my mouth. "Elena loves me" I told him seconds before the world around me went black. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I was sitting on the side of my bed looking over at Stefan who was sitting on my window seat staring right back at me, the silence between us could kill. "When did it start?" I asked him. Stefan clasped his hands together on his lap "During the summer we started visiting each other" he told me. We both went silent again. "Thank you for being honest with me, now get out of my house" I told him. "Elena" Stefan said getting up to his feet. I looked up at him "You want to know the horrible difference between us Stefan?" I asked. Stefan stood staring at me. "I wanted out weeks ago and yet I never cheated" I said. "Now get out" I whispered and ducked my head down. Damon Salvatore P.O.V "Ouch" I moaned as Alaric dapped my forehead with cotton wool. "Why couldnt you bring over a sexy school nurse?" I asked. "Well because the school nurse is in her seventies and has more hair in her nose than on her head" Alaric said as he continued to clean my cut forehead. "I have drunk a lot of blood this week so im healing pretty slow" I said "How did this all happen?" Alaric asked. I huffed "Oh you know its just another simple tale of two vampires meet a girl fall in love with her and then the actual boyfriend sleeps with girls best vampire chick friend" I told him. "What?" Alaric shouted. "My head hurts dumbass less of the screaming more of the cleaning" I said causing Alaric to roll his eyes. "Has he told Elena?" Alaric asked and began cleaning up all the blood soaked cotton wool and wipes that were used. "I don't know, he was gone when I woke up" I told him and felt my forehead begin to heal itself.

"And are you going to tell her too?" Alaric then asked. "Tell her about him and Caroline no way I like being a living dead thing, if I tell Elena im getting a stake in the heart" I told him. "I meant that you love her too" Alaric said shutting over the first aid kit. "Oh" I mumbled. I hoped off the table I was sitting on behind one of the sofa's in the parlour room and was about to head out of the parlour room all together when I turned back around to Alaric and we looked at one another. "I have this feeling and I don't know if its cause of my stupid fall down the stairs move from this morning or its the vamp in me but-" I said and then stopped shaking my head. "What?" Alaric asked. I looked at him once more "I have this feeling that something is coming and its coming for me" I told him. Follow You Forever Chapter Four – Earth and Moonlight Damon Salvatore P.O.V I stood in my shower in own suite bathroom and stood still feeling the roasting hot warm hit against my shoulders and move down the rest of my body slow moving over every inch and muscle. I reached down and picked up a bottle of gucci pour hoome shower gel that was my sitting on the stand on my floor of the shower. I lathered my hands up with the gel and started getting washed. I had to shake off the feeling that something was coming for me and try and deal with what was happening in my life right now. What ever thing was coming to get me was just going to have to wait because tonight something more important was going to happen and somehow I knew I wasn't the only person who knew it. I finished off in the shower and washed my hair too I picked up a white towel from the cabinet of ones I had and grabbed it around my waist as I left the own suite and went back into my bedroom where I walked over to my walk in wardrobe. I looked through all of my clothes and finally decided on a long sleeved white prada shirt along with a pair of black jeans and black shoes to go with it. I brought them out into my bedroom and laid them out on my bed. I went over to my nightstand and picked up my body deodorant and sprayed under both my arms, then picked up my colon and put some on either sides of my neck. In a quick flash I had put on my clothes and was doing the last of my buttons as I walked over to my bedroom window, the sun was just beginning to set over the forest. I knew I wasn't under some sort of spell because I had control of my body but my body and mind were telling me it was time to go to her. "Where are you going?" Stefan asked. I turned around and saw Stefan standing in my bedroom doorway. "O look its my brother who tried to kill me again" I said with a smirk.

"What happened today was an accident" I took a step forward "You pulled me down the stairs and almost cracked my head open I don't consider it an accident Stefan I consider it pure jealousy" I said. "You go to your new girlfriend because I have something I have to do now" I told him. Elena Gilbert P.O.V I headed into the kitchen and Jenna looked up from her paperwork on the table and looked over at me and smiled. "Wow you look beautiful" Jenna said. "Thanks" I said looking down at my white summer dress I had put on. "Are you heading out?" Jenna asked as I walked up to the kitchen door. I looked at the sun set and smiled. "Yeah, don't wait up" I told her and pulled open the door. I stepped out into the back garden which went right into the forest at the end of it, I closed the kitchen door behind me and after a few steps I took off running towards the forest. I knew beyond this forest was the boarding house but I knew I wouldn't be going there tonight I would be coming staying here in the forest because it was quite and no one would come here. I continued to run through the forest and could hear someone running towards me but still couldnt see them, I gasped when two set of hands were around my waist and suddenly I was pinned against a thick tree behind me. Damon's forehead was against mine I could smell him before I even saw him. I placed both hands on his face cupping his cheeks and brought my mouth towards his and kissed him. Damon responded to my kiss and brought my hips closer to his as our kissed deepened, I opened my mouth and slipped my tongue inside Damon's mouth and moaned feeling the warmth of his mouth and the sweet taste of his tongue. Damon suddenly adjusted us and picked me up still keeping me against the tree, I placed my legs on either sides of hips and Damon moaned as his lips left mine and he began to kiss along my jaw line making me moan uncontrollably especially when he began licking my neck. I began unbuttoning Damon's shirt as he moaned and kissed my neck I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head with the pleasure of it all. "Damon" I moaned as I pulled his shirt open. I gasped as Damon's hands travelled up my chest and he cupped both my breasts in his hands. I pushed myself so hard against him at that point that we fell onto the ground leaving me on top of Damon. I scooped my dress up over my head and Damon looked up at me and smiled as he saw I hadn't worn a bra, he bent up and began kissing my collar bone as my hands travelled down to his jeans. I unzipped his jeans and then brought my hands back up and cupped his face again and began kissing him again, I couldnt get over just how much I loved kissing him. I brushed my hand over Damon's groin and Damon moaned in our kiss and I felt Damon stiffen right under me feeling it made me bring my hands around Damon's back and drag my nails all down his back. Damon moaned as my nails pierced through his skin.

I gasped as Damon ripped the white lace panties that I had worn in half and throw either sides away. "Elena" Damon whispered as he began kissing me again. I continued to kiss Damon as I pulled his jeans down off his waist along with his boxers. In that second Damon changed our positions again and he was now on top of me, I bit my lower lip as Damon leaned over me just staring at me. I gasped as I felt Damon's groin against my folds he was much bigger than I had even dreamed of. "Do it I want you too" I told him. Damon bent down and began kissing me again as he pushed his groin deep inside of me, it felt so good I bucked against him hard wanting and needing more. "Damon" I gasped as he began nipping my neck hard but not too hard that it was bleeding. I moaned loudly as I bent my legs up and spread them open wider so Damon could go even deeper inside of me. "Elena" Damon said as he continued to push himself into me. I clawed my nails into Damon's back hearing him say my name made me crazy, his voice was so sexy it made me hotter than I had ever been. "Awww" I moaned as I felt myself coming. Damon kissed my jaw line and then smiled as he began kissing me again. "Damon im so close" I shouted. Damon's forehead pressed against mine and we padded together and kissed as we finally came together, I almost passed out feeling Damon come inside of me. Follow You Forever Chapter Five – It's Love not Lust Elena Gilbert P.O.V Not many people can say that they woke up this morning with a big smile on their face but I could. This morning before I had even opened my eyes or turned off my alarm clock I had smiled, for the first time in months I felt truly head over heels happier than I had been in a very long time and it was all down to Damon. I had come home very early this morning dressed in Damon's long white shirt and had managed to sneak into the house thanks to the hidey key we kept at the kitchen doors, no one had heard me come in as everyone was sleeping and I was happy knowing I wouldn't have to explain the shirt and the mucky dress. I had wished my smile could last all through the day and it did til around late this afternoon when I had decided to call Stefan over and talk to him about yesterday. I knew deep down I had not slept with Damon last night because I was jealous of Caroline and Stefan or because I was hurt I had slept with him because I was in love with him.

So now I was back to sitting on the side of my bed and Stefan sitting on my window seat. "I am sorry about the way I acted yesterday" I said. Stefan looked very confused "Elena I told you that I had been seeing one of your best friends behind your back I didnt expect you to take it so well" he said. "Stefan, I think we both know that neither of us were really upset to see us finish yesterday" Stefan clasped his hands together "Has it always been him?" he asked. "No" I answered honestly. "I did love you Stefan I do love you very much just not the way I should and not the way I have grown to love Damon" I told him. "He makes you happy" I smiled "He does and you did too but I think you and I are soul mates and we were just thrown into so much during our relationship that he mistaken our feelings of lust as actual love" I said. "I know he loves you but can he really love you Elena? I mean love you every single day I mean can you two really work?" Stefan asked. "I don't really think any of us really know that for sure but something tells me I really want to try" I said. "Elena? Do you have a minute?" Jenna asked knocking on my bedroom door. I looked at my bedroom door and then back at Stefan who smiled and gave me a little wave before becoming a blur and snuck out my bedroom window. I sighed knowing he wouldn't be doing that ever again. I walked over to my bedroom door and pulled it open. "We need to talk" Jenna said. Damon Salvatore P.O.V "So we're really not going to do this fight to the death thing?" I asked as Stefan entered the parlour room. He smiled and shook his head. "And you're not at all jealous?" I asked him. "Not even a little bit, its me and Caroline from now on" Stefan said. I took a step forward "I slept with Elena" I told him. Stefan laughed "I know you're trying to make me jealous but its not going to work, now if you will excuse me I am meeting Caroline at the grill" he said. "Not even a punch?" I called as he walked out of the parlour room. "It's coming" a voice suddenly whispered into my ear.

I turned around quickly and made my hands into fists only to find nothing and no one to hit. "Stefan" I called. "What?" Stefan called from upstairs. I shook my head knowing it must not have been him. "Nothing" I called back. "Its coming and its coming for you" the voice whispered again like a crazy hysterical person. The air around me went so cold I found myself folding my arms together almost shivering, I was an idiot last night for thinking this thing coming for me was just going to wait because it wasn't. I felt this gut pain deep inside of me that actually made me worry for once, whatever was coming for me was strong. "Damon" I shot across the room quickly and found myself pinning Elena against the wall grabbing her by the neck. I let go of her the second I saw her eyes meet mine and held her as she got her breath back. "Im sorry" I said. "It's ok Im pretty use to it" Elena said with a smile. I took a step back "Stefan's upstairs" I told her. "he he im coming for you" the voice whispered. "Do you hear that?" I whispered to Elena. Elena laughed "Hear what?" she asked. "That voice I keep hearing something" I said. Elena listened and then shook her head not hearing anything. "Uh so what's up?" I asked her and smirked. "Well I came to tell you some good news" Elena said. I titled my head to a side "No you didnt" I said. Elena's smile dropped "You're right I didnt its bad news" she said. Elena stepped towards me "Jenna was sort of asked to teach classes at a college in Florida and I sort of agreed to help her go down there and set up" she said. "Ok" I said still a little confused. "I'll be gone for three weeks" "What?" I said feeling my eyebrows pop up.

Elena bit her lower lip the way she always did when she was nervous. "Three weeks" I whispered. "Alaric is speaking to the school and they are giving me all the work I would miss plus the fact they know ill be at a college is a bonus" Elena told me. I took a step backwards and sighed. "Three weeks will go by really fast" Elena said and put her hands around the back of my neck making me smirk. "Not to the person who is doing all the waiting" I moaned. "Hey, ill be waiting to see you too" Elena said. I leaded in and gently kissed her lips before pulling my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me. "Guess three weeks couldnt kill us" I moaned and rolled my eyes causing Elena to smile. "And maybe next time we could make it to an actual bed, ive got sticks stuck in my back" Elena said. I smirked "Who says we need to wait" I said. Elena screamed as I scooped her up onto my shoulder. "Please let me get out the house first" Stefan said smiling and covering his eyes as he walked past us. Elena kissed along my neck as I brought her upstairs to my bedroom. "Just three weeks" I told her. "It will fly by" Elena promised me. Follow You Forever Chapter Six – Eight Weeks not Three Weeks Damon Salvatore P.O.V To my complete disappointment Elena and Jenna had to stay in Florida for eight weeks instead of just three. There had been some sort of mix up with the days Jenna and some other tutor was teaching and so Jenna's room at the college hadn't been prepared for her and so she and Elena had been forced to stay at a model just outside the college until it was ready. Elena and I had spoken pretty much every night since she left and the truth was I actually enjoyed talking to her for countless hours, I wasn't much for relationships half the time I was with Andy I would compel her to be quite just so I could get some peace from her. But Elena was so wonderfully different she could make me laugh and that was very rare in my case. I had learned so much more about Elena during these talks and I had actually shared a few of my stories from my human days. I had actually told Elena about some of the things my father said and did to me when I was a child and what I protected Stefan from.

"You are walking even faster now then you were when we got out the car park" Alaric said as he walked by my side. "Am not" I moaned. Alaric and I were at the airport Elena and Jenna's flight was getting in at nine thirty and it was an hour drive back to Mystic Falls, as much as I loved spending time with the teacher I had brought my own car I had booked Elena and I into a hotel room for the weekend and had gotten us a penthouse suite. "Gate number four" I said as we stopped outside the gate. We had only been standing waiting for a few minutes when I suddenly noticed Alaric couldnt stop folding and unfolding his arms. I looked at him annoyed that he wouldn't stand still and then finally couldnt take it anymore. "Cut it out" I told him. "Im sorry I am just so nervous" Alaric said. "About what?" I asked. Alaric slipped his hand into his inside jacket pocket and pulled out a black jewellery box he opened up the box and showed me a tiffany silver band engagement ring with an oval diamond right in the centre. I held in my smirk and looked up at Alaric. "There's nothing in there" I told him. "What?" Alaric shouted and looked in the box. I burst into laughter and got punched in the arm. "Aw" I moaned rubbing my arm. "Like I am not nervous enough" Alaric said putting the box back into his pocket and pulling his hands through his hair. "Take it this means Isobel let you off the hook" I said. "She's dead by law we're not married anymore and I want to marry Jenna" Alaric said and smiled. "Good for you teacher" I said with a nod. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Alaric who was still uneasy. "How should I do it? Should I get down on one knee?" he asked. I laughed "Rick Ive never been married and never purposed how the hell would I know" I said. "Because you know what women want" I smirked "That is very true" I said and managed to get another hit. "Alright alright, if she is a proper Gilbert then she will not want to be rescued and have the whole prince charming thing. Put the ring inside one of the books she reads at night and put it in the page she plans to read that night" I told him.

Alaric smiled "That's genius" he said. "No that's Damon Salvatore" I said smirking. Elena Gilbert P.O.V "I am a size ten its unbelievable Jenna, I don't gain weight I never have and now all of a sudden I am getting big" I said as we got off the plane together. "Elena its not such a big deal you were on holiday you gained like what two pounds its not a big deal" Jenna told me. "Easy for you to say you haven't gained a pound in ten years" I moaned. Jenna and I walked into the airport and as always before I even saw Damon I felt his eyes on me. Jenna screamed and ran into Alaric's arms who lovingly kissed her head and held her close. "So are we going to do the big Hollywood thing?" Damon asked as he walked towards me. "I missed you" I told him. Damon smiled and pulled me into his arms I bit my lower lip thinking Damon was now feeling the pounds I had gained, I wondered if my weight would be a big issue would be notice the four pounds? I really hoped he wouldn't. "Alaric's going to purpose" Damon whispered in my ear. "Really?"I gasped. Damon Salvatore P.O.V After collecting Elena's luggage at the airport she and I took off to the hotel I had booked it was only a two hour drive from the airport so Elena filed me in on how horrible her plane ride had been but I was just so happy to see her that all I could do was watch her and nod. I couldnt get over how beautiful she looked there was something new about her she was different but in a good way. I was lying across the bed in our hotel room now we had checked in and I had ordered room service Elena had wanted a big plate of pancakes bacon and grapes and I wanted was soup and crackers. Elena was in the bathroom now I could see her looking at her reflection in the mirror I was holding in my laughter as I watched her continually try and hide her stomach under the white cotton v neck t-shirt she had borrow from me to wear that night. It was true Elena had put on a tiny little bit of weight around her stomach but she was on holiday and if she didnt eat and enjoy herself then it wouldn't be much of a holiday. I continued to hold in my laughter as Elena continued trying she pulled her black short up higher on her stomach and even tried to make a knot at the bottom of the t-shirt to draw attention to that instead of her stomach. I rolled my eyes as Elena even tried holding her breath and sucking in her stomach. Elena came out of the bathroom and looked over at me and huffed. "They had these really delicious cheesy pasta dishes at the motel I didnt like anything else and now I am fat" Elena said and then her eyes stared to fill with tears. "Awww" I said an got up off the bed and walked quickly to her scooping her up into my arms. "And I cant even suck it in" Elena sobbed.

I smiled and carried Elena over to the bed "You listen to me" I said as I sat down next to her and took her hand. "You can gain or lose as much weight as you want, I fell in love with you not your body" I told her. Elena suddenly stopped crying and looked up at me. "You love me?" she sobbed. I smirked "Always have always will" I told her. Elena smiled "Then you wont mind me having your crackers when room service comes" she said. I smiled and kissed her last falling tears away. Follow You Forever Chapter Seven – Expecting Damon Salvatore P.O.V "I am going to get you its only a matter of time now, im going to gut you open and play with your insides hahaha" "God" I shouted as I jumped up in bed. I breathed heavily and whipped the sweat dripping from my forehead, I eased my breathing and looked down to find Elena sleeping soundly next to me. It was the first time she had stayed over at the boarding house with me because we were usually at her house because Caroline's mother didnt want Caroline dating Stefan and so they took the boarding house but with Caroline's mum out of town we were finally in my room for a change. "Another nightmare" Elena mumbled into her pillow as I laid back down in bed. "Just a little one go back to sleep" I whispered to her and closed my eyes. "Hold that thought" Elena said I opened my eyes feeling Elena jump out of bed quickly I watched her run into my own suite bathroom and over to the toilet where she bent down and began throwing up into it. I shot over to her as quickly as possible and held her hair back for her as she continued to be sick. "Elena this is nuts" I said as I grabbed her a tissue. Elena flushed the toilet and took the tissue, I bent up to the sink and picked up a wash cloth and ran it under the tap. I brought it back down with me and pulled Elena into me pressing her back against my chest and the back of her head onto my shoulder, I placed the wash cloth on her forehead. "You must have picked up something in Florida" I told her. "Yeah I think your right" Elena mumbled. "You going to go again or do you want to go back to bed?" I asked her. "I think I am done for now" Elena said for eyes closing over as she fell back asleep.

Elena Gilbert P.O.V I continued drumming my fingers against the doctors desk as I waited for the results of my blood test she had taken on me just an hour earlier. I hated being in doctor's offices they always smelt like bleach and right now I felt like everything I smelt was extremely high, I thought maybe it was the amount of vampire blood that had been in my system once upon a time maybe some of it had stayed and I hadn't noticed it until now. Damon had received a telephone call this morning from Alaric asking him to meet him at the grill at lunch time. Damon had wanted to come with me to my appointment but I had told him I would be fine after all it was a simple appointment for an upset stomach and Alaric did say it was a rather pressing matter that they had to discuss. I was hoping right now that everything was alright because I couldnt handle another almost sacrifice or new vampire in town I was too tired and ill. "Elena thank you for being so patient with me this morning its just its rather busy today" Dr Emma Ross my doctor said to me as she entered the office. I could smell her perfume from here it smelt sweet but rather too sweet for me and I found myself holding back a little sick, I took a deep breath and tried my best to smile. "Its really fine I had nothing planned for today after from this appointment anyway" I said as she took her seat at her desk. Dr Ross smiled and opened up the file she had brought in with her and began looking through it, I peeked my head forward and saw it was my blood test results. "So did I pick something up on my travels then?" I asked. Dr Ross looked up at me "No your blood work looks fine, you do have a little high blood pressure though" she told me. "Oh well that's nothing right I mean that can get fixed easy right?" I asked. Dr Ross nodded and went back to my file. "So besides the throwing up and stomach cramps has there been any other discomfort?" Dr Ross asked still going through my file. "It's a little embarrassing but Ive had really bad gas" I admitted. Dr Ross smiled "Elena nothing you say to a doctor can ever be embarrassing" she said. I smiled. "There's just one more thing we have to discuss" Dr Ross said closing my file. "And what's that?" I asked. "You're pregnant" Dr Ross told me. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I pulled open the grill entrance door and took another suck on the straw strawberry smoothie that I had bought in the starbucks just next door a few minutes earlier. I clocked Alaric sitting at the bar going through what looked like papers to grade always a teacher before a vampire hunter. I walked up to him and took a seat down next to me and took another sip of my smoothie.

"You're in a happy mood what's in that?" Alaric said as he looked at me and then at my cup. "Strawberries" I answered shrugging. "So what kids failed?" I asked peeking at his papers. "Private and confidential" Alaric said packing them up. "Then you might not want to grade them in a public place teacher" I said smirking. I sucked out the last of my drink and then faced Alaric. "So what's with the meeting?" I asked him. "What I am about to ask of you is difficult but believe it or not you're the only person I trust to pull this thing off" Alaric told me. I leaned in closer seeing the seriousness in his face. "This is going to be very difficult to pull off and it cant be done quickly it will be a slow and painful ride" he said. "What are you telling me here?" I asked. "Will you be my best man?" Alaric asked. Follow You Forever Chapter Eight – Love Just Isnt Enough Elena Gilbert P.O.V I was waiting in Damon's bedroom waiting for him to return from the grill after his meeting with Alaric. Damon had sent me a text message just as I had gotten into my car after my appointment telling me that everything went fine with him and Alaric and that he would meet me back at his house and we could maybe go out to the beach or something. I had managed to get here before Damon and I had managed to pack up all of my things I had left in the house like my diary and some spare clothes I kept over here they were all packed away in my shoulder bag now sitting right next to me on the side of his bed. I wanted to make sure everything was packed away and ready to go by the time he got back I didnt want to be here any longer than I had to be. Damon wasn't going to take this news well and we both knew it. I was preparing myself for the worst I was ready for Damon to start shouting to start drinking everything, I was secretly hoping that there were plenty of blood bags downstairs in the basement so Damon wouldn't fall off the wagon and start going around town seeing who had a clean neck and the best type of blood. But deep down I knew there was no way to know for sure how he would take the news all I knew was I had took it badly, it was the second worst news I had received the first being my parents passing away. Now my life was officially messed up again and just when I thought I had finally got everything into place. "Best man he asked me to be best man" Damon suddenly said entering his bedroom making me jump by his suddenly arrival. "Best man?" I asked.

"Yip the teacher wants me to be the best man, that's means I have to look after the rings and be up their on that alter. Please tell me Jenna asked you to be a bridesmaid so I have someone up there to roll my eyes too" Damon said and kneeled down in front of me and kissed my hands. "Uh yeah she did right after Alaric purposed actually" I told him. "Well thank god for that" Damon said smirking. I took a deep breath in and Damon titled his head to a side. "You ok? How did you get on your appointment?" he asked. "Damon" I whispered and took my hands out of his and wrapped them around my stomach feeling sick at the thought of telling him. "You're sick" Damon said suddenly getting up to his feet. I looked up at him and shook my head. "I went to the doctor and she ran a blood test the results came back and they found something" I told him. "Ok" Damon said nodding his head. "They picked up that my hormones were wild and full of HCG" I said. "You're going to have to help me out there Elena" Damon said completely confused. My eyes filled up with tears and I shut them feeling the tears spread down my cheeks and opened them looking now at a very worried Damon. "Im pregnant" I told him. Tears continued to fall down my face. "And I want to get rid of it" I sobbed. Damon began shaking his head "Elena you cant be having a baby its impossible with a vampire, we're dead" he said. "Exactly" I shouted getting to my fight still crying. I walked towards his bathroom and turned back to him "You don't think I know that? Whatever this thing is its impossible I know that" I said. "I don't understand how this happened" Damon said running his hands through his hair. "I don't know either" I said wiping away my tears with my sleeve. "What do we do now?" Damon asked. "Matt's aunt works in Mystic Falls general she's a midwife and she isn't on vervain or anything so I figured we could go up to the hospital she could take a look at what's inside with an ultrasound and then you could compel her make her forget what she saw" I said. Damon took a step towards me and I felt like taking a step back.

"It's killing you isn't it? That's why your so ill" he said. I shook my head "No I actually have a cold which I cant take anything for of course because I am pregnant" I said and rolled my eyes. "So whatever is inside, its not actually hurting you?" Damon asked taking another step forward. "No not yet" I said. I walked towards Damon and walked right by him and picked up my shoulder bag that I had left on the side of his bed and wrapped it around my chest and moved my hair so it could rest on my shoulder. "Wait where are you going?" Damon asked. "Stefan will be home soon along with Caroline and if I stay here then you and I will keep talking about this situation and I don't want everyone worrying when it wont be an issue, and if we didnt talk about it we could just be quite" I said I walked towards the door. "Elena wait we need to talk about this" Damon called. I turned around and faced him "I thought I was finally getting my happy ending guess ill never have what I want" I admitted. "You will" Damon said taking a step towards me. I raised my hand up and told him to stop and he did. "I'll meet you outside the hospital at eight o clock tonight, we'll get this over with and I can go back to feeling normal" I said and turned back around and headed again for the door. "And what do you feel right now Elena?" Damon called. "Nothing" I admitted walking into the hallway. Follow You Forever Chapter Nine – Scan Time & Horror Elena Gilbert P.O.V I had spent the entire day laying on my bed trying my best not to think of the horrible news that the doctor had given me earlier that day. Sadly I found not thinking about it completely impossible but every time I found myself reading more and more into the situation I remembered what the night ahead had in store for me. Damon and I were going to be the only ones who knew what was happening I didnt really think Jenna would respond well or either me being pregnant or me being pregnant with some sort of monster who would eventually try and kill me from the inside given the chance. After the sacrifice almost happened I decided from that moment on that I wanted to live I wanted to wake up every morning and open my bedroom windows to welcome another beautiful day. I was not going to let whatever thing was growing inside of me to take away my chance of actually having a life.

Damon and I had just started our relationship and sure we started it off with a heated night of passion but our love for each other was there well before that night and that's why it felt so special. If Damon was a human like me and this was an actual child there was no way we would be able to deal with it and so that's why him being a vampire and me being a doppelganger and this thing a monster made it so much simpler. I had sent Damon a text message earlier this evening telling him that I would meet him there I didnt like the thought of sitting in a car together and not talking or talking about the situation and so Damon agreed to meet me just outside the hospital. We had been directed by a nurse to maternity and we were now waiting in an empty waiting room filled with nothing but baby pictures and children's toys. "It smells in here" I moaned folding my arms. "I don't smell anything" Damon said. "You're luck I can smell everything I think I can smell stuff from five rooms down if I try hard enough" I said. "Do you want to talk?" Damon asked. "No not really" I answered honestly. "Elena-" "Well hello Elena" Matt's Aunt Pamela said as she walked into the waiting room. "Oh hello Pamela how are you?" I said as she sat down across from Damon and I. "I am very well the receptionist tells me you wanted to speak to me about something is everything alright?" Pamela asked looking at me and then over to Damon slightly. "Pamela, I seem to be pregnant and I was wondering if you could give me an ultrasound without informing my Aunt Jenna about it" I said. "Oh my goodness Elena" Pamela whispered. Damon leaned forward in his seat and Pamela suddenly couldnt stop looking at him she looked like she was in a daydream. "Pamela, you're going to take us for ultrasound in the most private room you can get us and you're not going to tell any nurses or fill out any reports about it" Damon said. "Alright, lets get you an ultrasound Elena" Pamela said now completely compelled. "Thank you" I whispered to Damon as we got up out our seats. "Well its the only reason you brought me here I might as well do my job and be a good boy about it" Damon said as we walked. "Damon, that's not the only reason I need you here and you know that" I whispered to him as we walked down the hall following Pamela. "No you also need someone to look at so you don't need to look at your stomach" Damon whispered back. "Here we go just in here" Pamela said taking us into a room.

"Now Elena if you will just hop up on the bed ill get the machine set up" Pamela said. I hopped up onto the bed just like Pamela had asked me too and watched at the corner of my eye as Damon stood by my side just above my head. "Ok here we go" Pamela said pulling up a stool and sitting down on it just on the other side of the bed. I almost gasped as Pamela pulled up my t-shirt and Damon noticed this, he was right I didnt like to see my stomach at all and I was now aware I didnt want it touched either. I closed my eyes tightly for a second as I felt Pamela place some really cold blue gel onto my stomach and then mix it around with some sort of device. I looked up at Damon who was already looking at the ultrasound I found myself not knowing what to do but look at Damon. "Alright lets take a little look" I heard Pamela say beside me but still never turned my head. "Alright here we go, there's your baby" Pamela said. "Oh" Damon whispered. I looked at his expression expecting fear and worry and instead he was amazed, I turned around quickly and looked at the screen for myself. "Everything looks just fine to me the baby is developing right on progress" Pamela told us. "That's what's inside of me" I whispered. Pamela smiled "All expecting mothers say that at their first scan" she said. I reached over to the machine and picked up a blue tissue and began cleaning all the gel off my stomach. "Damon compel her" I said and hoped off the bed. "What? Right now" Damon asked surprised. "Now" I shouted. I yanked open the room door and found myself racing down the hallway pushing past nurses on my way I felt like I couldnt breath in here and I had to be outside. I began running and before I knew it I was outside and still running I couldnt stop until something stopped me. "STOP" Damon shouted as I slammed into him suddenly. "Let me go" I shouted trying to get out of his tight grip on my arms. "Why are you acting like this after what you saw in there?" Damon asked. "Enough" I said still trying to escape. "Elena its a baby it has a head two arms two legs and it has a heartbeat" Damon said. "I know" I shouted and finally got out of the grip he had on me and started walking hearing Damon follow me.

"Then why are you like this" Damon called. I rolled my eyes "Think about it" I told him. "Tell me now" Damon demanded. I turned around and faced him "You think just because its a baby we will suddenly play happy families? Ok fine I saw it in there I know its a human and its got a heartbeat" I said. "Then what's the problem?" Damon asked. I took a step towards him "How are you going to feel when Klaus finds out about another doppelganger being alive? How are you going to feel when Klaus wants to stop that little heartbeat you heard in there" I said. "Klaus wont get out" I took a step back "Bonnie went to France with me in hopes of finding her cousin Lucy, Bonnie cant hold him in there any longer he breaking the shield" I told him. "I can protect you" Damon said. I took a step back again "But I cant protect it, and that's suppose to be my job" I said and finally placed my hand on my stomach. I turned back around and took off again. "Elena wait" Damon called but I didnt I was too scared and confused all I wanted was to go home and crawl into bed. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I groaned as I slammed my car door shut and put my keys in, I started smacking the steering wheel repeatedly until it hurt. "Elena" I whispered leaning my head back onto the headrest. I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out the piece of card I had inside, I pulled the card up and looked at it and found myself smiling. "Baby" I whispered staring at the ultrasound photo. Follow You Forever Chapter Ten – Elena and Damon's Choice Elena Gilbert P.O.V The curtains in my bedroom were drawn over taking away the light of day as I lay on top of my bed on top of the covers with only a bed throw over me covering me up keeping me warm at least on the outside. I had lied to Jenna the night I had come home from the hospital which was now two days ago, I had told her that I wasn't feeling too good and with her students exam week coming up at college I thought it best that I stay in my bedroom away from everyone and she believed me.

I didnt want to see anyone I didnt want to talk I didnt even want to move all I wanted was to lie here and do nothing but just be alone until I figured something's out in my mind. I had turned off my laptop and my cell phone I didnt want any contact with anyone and didnt want to be bothered which meant the lock on my bedroom window was also locked tight. "Elena, its Alaric" I suddenly heard Alaric out in the hallway just outside my bedroom door. "I know you don't want to be bothered right now but I am leaving you some lentil soup bread and juice out here in the hall" Alaric said. I smiled slightly at his kindness. "Dont worry I made it not Jenna, I just want to know that you've eaten something. Hope you feel better" Alaric said. I listened to his footsteps and he headed back downstairs. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I laid in my bed right in the middle of it my pillows all brought together behind my head as I finally turned off and just stared. I held in my hand the photograph I had been carrying with me for two days straight, the ultra sound picture of my unborn child. I had left a number of messages on Elena's cell phone and whenever I called her house they would just tell me she was sick and couldnt come to the phone. Her bedroom curtains were drawn and there was now a lock on her windows I could see from the outside. She clearly didnt want to talk to me right now and I didnt understand why. Elena has a world of strength in her heart and she would do anything to protect her child I know she would but sadly she thinks she doesn't have it in her. I had to find a way to fix things I needed to make things better I couldnt just sit here all day long waiting to hear from her. "Damon" Stefan called knocking on my bedroom door. "Go away" I called. Stefan came in anyway to my complete disappointment. "You really have a problem not understanding go away don't you brother" I said as I slipped the photograph behind my back. "What's going on with you and Elena? You've been in your room for two days now" Stefan said and sat down on the side of my bed. "We're fine" I lied. "What have you had your first couple fight alright?" Stefan asked with a smile. "Stefan" I whispered and shook my head. I looked over at him and Stefan finally saw the look in my eyes. "Please, just leave me alone" I said. Stefan nodded "Ok" he said. Elena Gilbert P.O.V

Most expecting mothers read baby books and pregnancy magazines, I wasn't your typical expecting mother and never would be that's why I was using my time looking up paranormal pregnancy and doppelgangers. I was now sitting in the centre of my bed with my laptop sitting on top of my freezing cold feet with the smell of my delicious lentil soup still lingering in the air from lunch time. Alaric was truly a good at cooking and nothing he made me had made me throw up so I was very happy about that. I had opened up a word document to keep all the information I had thought important in my laptop. There were so many websites but none had said about a human girl ever getting pregnant by a vampire. I had searched for what felt like hours until I finally came across a forum on paranormal pregnancies. There was an entry about a warlock named Snakeson who could see the inside of the womb by simply placing his hands on the bump, the only problem was the man lived in South Africa. I bit my lower lip as I looked at the information I had gathered about Snakeson. This man could tell me all the information I needed to know about what was growing deep down inside of me and if it was good or evil. I wasn't a completely horrible person I just didnt feel the mother bond I so desperately wanted too. How could I love this baby inside of me when there was a chance Klaus would try and sacrifice it? How could I love this baby knowing it was born to die? I ran my hands through my hair and really began to think if I should go to South Africa and meet this man Snakeson. He would be able to tell me what to do and right now I needed someone to answer the questions I had rattling around in my brain all day long. Jenna would be going to Flordia this week to start teaching those classes and she wouldn't notice I was gone, I could always tell the school I was still sick and no one would have to really know where I was apart from Damon. Damon Salvatore P.O.V Elena finally returned my messages and text me asking me to come over to her house but to come up through her bedroom window as her Aunt Jenna was downstairs working. When I arrived surely enough Elena's bedroom window was unlocked and she was waiting for me. I closed the window behind me and looked over at her, she was sitting on the side of her bed wearing a long white jumper that covered up her bump completely along with a pair of light blue jeans and a pair of cream cotton slippers. "I was wondering when you would call me back" I said sitting on her window seat. "It's time we got serious and actually talked about what's happening here" Elena said. I nodded "Ok" I said and clasped my hands together. "I have been doing some research and I have found this man named Snakeson he is a warlock and he deals with paranormal pregnancies" Elena told me. "Why would you research that, this is a human baby" I said. "Born from a vampire and a doppelganger its paranormal Damon" "Ok then" I moaned and continued to listen. "We both know there is a ten out of ten chance that this baby will be a doppelganger just like me and because it had a heartbeat when we went for the ultrasound I am ruling out the chance of it being a vampire" Elena said. I nodded.

"I called the airport just before you arrived I am going to South Africa two days from now and I am going to meet this Snakeson and I am going to ask him to answer my questions" Elena told me. "No" I said shaking my head and getting up to my feet. "You're not going to South Africa" I said. "I wasn't asking for your permission Damon" Elena said. "You are not going there" "Yes I am and you're not going to stop me this is something I have to do I need answers" Elena shouted. "God you're so scared" I moaned. "Yes I am Damon" Elena said getting to her feet. "I am terrified because not only am I scared of losing my family to Klaus I can now lose my own flesh and blood to him too" Elena said. I slowly shook my head "You cant do this all by yourself" I said. "I have too, I need you to stay here and help Bonnie figure out how to keep Klaus locked inside that house" "She doesn't need me you do" I told her. "But I need you to protect them" Elena said. "I have to go and get this thing taken care of for once at for all" Elena said. I took a step back "That thing? You cant even call it your child" I said. Elena looked away for a second and then back at me "Look I am going to need money" she said. I rolled my eyes. I walked towards her window and then turned back around and faced her. "If I find out that you did anything to hurt that baby" I said and then shook my head making Elena take a step back hearing me threaten her. "What are you saying to me?" Elena asked. "If it comes down to you or the baby in my life, Ive already made my choice" I told her and in a flash I was half way down the street and away from her. Follow You Forever Chapter Eleven – Goodbye for Now Damon Salvatore P.O.V Two days had went by in the blink of an eye, Elena had her flight confirmed and her suitcase all packed up she was ready to go but I wasn't ready for her to go. Two days earlier I had told her

that I would rather have my unborn child in my life rather than her and I still wasn't sure if I had really meant it or I was just so angry at that time that I lashed out when I really shouldn't have. But after Elena had given me some news I didnt think she thought I was going to take it well, after all it wasn't just her going to South Africa it was her and the baby. I didnt know what was happening to me I had changed somehow from the second I had found out she was pregnant, so quickly my whole world changed and it changed for the better. I didnt even know if this baby was a boy or a girl but I knew I wanted to see them I wanted to see them grow up I wanted to see Elena's smile on their face and I wanted them to have her big and beautiful heart the only thing I asked for from this pregnancy was that I got to the baby thats all I wanted all I needed and yet Elena didnt even want me to have that, she didnt even want to see it for herself. Elena wasn't the only person in the world that did research but unlike her I didnt go looking for ways to peek into her womb I searched for answers about the baby at the stage they were at. Elena was now twelve weeks pregnant and should be going for her twelve week scan instead of South Africa but she keeps saying that she feels normal and that her morning sickness is getting less and less. I had sat for countless hours researching information about babies inside the womb but every time I found out something new I would always pause and wonder why Elena couldnt feel the way I did about the baby. But what I thought didnt matter I wasn't important in this situation at least not to Elena all she was thinking about was herself and what she wanted she hadn't once thought of what I or the baby needed in this. And so I had shut off my mind to her I didnt let anything she told me in she was just not Elena to me anymore she had changed but I knew she would change back. I knew sooner or later she would allow herself to love this baby even if it was a doppelganger it would have two strong parents to protect it from Klaus. Elena Gilbert P.O.V Damon and I walked up to the airport gate where my flight was taking off from and we both stopped to say goodbye, I turned to Damon and he ducked his hand into his inside jacket pocket and pulled out a brown envelope and handed it to me which I took. I looked at Damon and then opened up the envelope slightly and gasped at the amount of money laying inside of it. "Damon this is too much" I said shutting the envelope back over. "It's fine Elena don't worry about it" he said shaking his head when I tried to hand him back the money. "I'll pay you back" I said as I slipped the envelope into my carry on bag. "Look you should probably guy something to protect yourself with while you are over there a gun or something just in case this Snakeson isn't the real deal" Damon told me. "Oh, yeah I guess I should just in case" I said. Silence "Isnt this usually the part where one of us is suppose to say this is ridiculous all couples fight lets just try again?" I asked. Damon took a step towards me and leaded in gently kissed my forehead, I looked up at him as he pulled away but Damon wasn't looking at me I looked down as I felt Damon's hand and saw him brush his hand over my small bump under my jumper. "Take care of yourself" Damon said finally looking up at me. Damon turned around and walked away from me leaving me here by myself.

"Damon" I whispered. Damon Salvatore P.O.V "I am coming for you" "I am going to kill you just you" "Shut up!" I screamed half way through the airport car park. I ran my hands through my hair and found myself crashing to the ground as I finally allowed myself to scream and scream after keeping it locked inside for weeks it was finally time to let it out. "You're so weak and I am stronger than you will ever know" the voice continued to whisper. I breathed heavily "Why don't you just come after me what's taking you so long mother fucker" I said. "I am waiting for you to be truly happy and then...ill strike and make you wish you had never been born" Follow You Forever Chapter Twelve – Elena Gets Answers Damon Salvatore P.O.V I yawned as I walked down the stairs of the boarding house looking forward to enjoying a glass of bourbon to try and block out the fact that my girlfriend and unborn baby where over in South Africa doing good knows what. What I wasn't looking forward to was what I actually found in the parlour room. Jeremy was standing in front of the roaring fireplace and turned as soon as he heard me walk into the room. "Little Gilbert, what are you doing here?" I asked folding my arms. "Im looking for answers" Jeremy said. I smirked "Arent we all" I said. "About where Elena is Damon its been over three weeks and I know she isn't here like she tells Jenna she is when they call each other so ill ask nicely where is my sister" I walked towards the drinks cart and began pouring myself a drink. "She's safe Jeremy she isn't in any trouble she hasn't been kidnapped she's just away for a little while" I told him and took a sip of bourbon. I placed the glass down on the cart when I suddenly felt a sharp pain piercing my skull making me groan in pain and hold my head tightly. "I asked nicely" Jeremy said. "You cant be serious" I said realizing little Jeremy had learned a few magic tricks. "Ive been doing some research turns out warlock runs in the Gilbert blood line its small but its there" he said.

The pain stop and I felt realized as I slowly got back up to my feet and looked back over at Jeremy. "I wouldn't do that again I don't care if you are Elena's brother" I told him. Jeremy smiled "See that's the thing Damon she's not here actually no one is a part from me and you so hurt me and ill tell everyone I just came over to drop off a book and you were out of blood bags" he said. I smirked "Your black mailing me for information" I said and rolled my eyes. I took a step towards Jeremy "Go home" I told him and was just about to turn around when suddenly the pain started again and even worse this time so much I found myself lying on the ground screaming. "Tell me about Elena" Jeremy said walking towards me. "No" I said through the pain. "Damon I swear to god ill kill you if you don't tell me" The pain increased and so did my screaming. "If I tell you im a dead man" I said. "You're a dead man either way" Jeremy said "Awww she having my baby" I shouted. The pain stopped and so did my screaming I breathed heavily as I slowly pulled myself up off the floor and stood a few steps away from Jeremy who was looking a little pale round about now. "She's pregnant" Jeremy said. "Yes she is" I said as I picked up my glass of bourbon and downed it in one. "That's not possible" "Thing about living in this crazy world of ours everything is possible, even your worst nightmares become a reality" I said. "Where is Elena exactly?" Jeremy asked taking a step forward. I sighed "South Africa she is away to meet a warlock named Snakeson he deals with these sort of things, Elena believes the baby will be a doppelganger and this Snakeson guy can see inside the womb and he will tell her what's cooking" I said. "She's in South Africa by herself and pregnant. I am guessing this was her idea" "Well when you have no affection for the human life you are carrying you don't really have the best mind in the world" I moaned. "Wait a second, she doesn't want the baby?" I poured myself another drink "Nope she couldnt give a damn about the little thing" I said and downed another glass.

"But its a baby right? I mean its human?" Jeremy asked. "We went for one of those ultrasounds a few weeks back" I told him and then rolled my eyes and reached into my back pocket pulling out my wallet. I opened up the wallet and then pulled out the photograph of the ultrasound and showed it to Jeremy who's jaw dropped as he looked and even more to my surprise Jeremy smiled. "Its a baby" Jeremy said handing me back the photograph. "Yeah just wish Elena would see that instead of thinking its just a sacrifice waiting to happen" I said and put my wallet back into my pocket. "You want the baby don't you" Jeremy said. I looked over at him and then began pouring myself another drink. "You keep a scan picture in your wallet Damon, you're preparing to be a father" Jeremy said. I sipped my drink and shook my head "I am not going to be a father, I really wish I could be though see there is one thing Elena hasn't thought about in all of this" I said. "What's that?" Jeremy asked. "Im a vampire even if this baby is born evil its still my child. Im dead inside, this baby is a miracle to be and my only chance of ever being a real dad" I said. Elena Gilbert P.O.V Snakeson continued to stare at me as I stared blankly after receiving some very interesting information. "Miss Gilbert, I have given you the answers you seek what is the problem?" Snakeson asked. I smiled "Your absolutely sure?" I asked. "Yes" Snakeson said with a nod. Damon Salvatore P.O.V I was sitting on the roof of the boarding house finding it was the only place I could escape from everyone. Stefan kept looking at me like I was going crazy without Elena and Jeremy kept hanging about in hopes I would have answers for his questions when I knew just as much as he did. My blackberry began to ring inside my jean's pocket I reached in and picked it fully intending to reject whoever was calling me until I saw Elena's name flashing on the screen. "Elena" I said answering it. "Damon" Elena said. "Are you ok?" I asked "Im fine I am coming home today" she told me. "So you found Snakeson? What did he say?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter what he says I am keeping the baby" "Your serious?" "Completely I got my first kick two days ago I have been sure since then, I thought of Klaus and him even thinking he had a right to go near this little angel who quite frankly gives the best little kicks I thought would I would do to Klaus and suddenly I knew this is my baby my flesh and blood and ill die to protect it" Elena said. "So there's a chance that the baby is a doppelganger" I said running my hand through my hair. "There's no chance of that at all" Elena told me. "And why is that?" I asked. "Because he's a boy" Elena told me. Follow You Forever Chapter Thirteen – A Little Surprise Elena Gilbert P.O.V I walked through Newton airport in New York pulling my suitcase behind me as I walked, I had put on my skin tight blue dress before I got off the plane so I could walk proudly pregnant through my first public place. I was on the red eye back home and couldnt wait to see Damon and sleep in my own bed I had missed Mystic Falls so much and could almost smell the cheeseburgers they sell at the grill and the smell of my teddy bear waiting for me on top of my bed. I wasn't in the airport long because I was on the red eye so it wasn't long before I was sitting back down into another uncomfortable airplane chair and trying my best to keep my excitement down. I leaned my head back on the head rest and placed both my hands over my bump, I smiled feeling the baby kick at my hands I think he enjoyed the warmth off my hands. "Can I get you anything miss?" the flight attendant asked. "Do you have any crackers?" I asked. The flight attendant went through the cart she was pushing and took out a purple bag and handed them to me. "Thanks" I said and placed the bag of crackers onto the little tray I had in front of me. "Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking we have nice clear skies and we are running right on schedule, we have a special message for one of coach passengers she is returning from a very long trip and there is someone who wanted to say how much he missed you. Enjoy" Suddenly the plane speakers were filed with beautiful music and I suddenly remembered my favourite movie the wedding singer and how it seemed right now was the last scene of the movie. I suddenly felt a warm feeling in the middle of my chest and knew this feeling only meant one thing. "Damon" I whispered. "I want to buy you crackers stake your vamps get Klaus when he is near your heart. All I want to do is have a baby with you" Damon's beautiful voice sung through the speakers.

I gasped feeling the baby kick me like crazy. "I'll change his nappy at night buy his pram even take him to his grans oh, all i want to do is have baby with you" he sung. I covered my mouth with both my hands as the curtain for the first class section pulled open and Damon stepped out and smiled at me. "I'll raise him love him, take care of both of you cause I need you I always feel you I'll even let you pick his name too" he sung to me. I looked around and saw everyone beside me looking at Damon amazed by him. Damon began walking towards me slowly still smiling. "So let me pick out his crib help you put him to bed at night oh I could be his dad your husband too I want a family and I want one with you" he sung and then kneeled down in front of me. I smiled and took his hands in mine, Damon smiled and kissed both my hands before reaching up and kissing me on the lips. I forgot how much I loved just kissing him, this time felt so different now my baby kicked like crazy now that he heard his dad's voice. "I missed you" Damon whispered against my lips. "I missed you too and I am never leaving again" I told him. "Good cause ill kill you if you do" I laughed and began kissing him again
