Damon and Elena: The Queen and the Jedi Knight

Chapter 1: Return From War

Elena was sitting patiently between the tall columns that were holding up the greatly decorated ceiling. Her hands were shaking with anticipation and her dress felt too heavy and thick. It was like this almost every month. She'd wait and wait; hoping that when the star ship landed, that her love would come off of it alive.

Of course, she knew the risks of loving a Jedi, but her heart told her otherwise. She knew that one day, he might not return from a battle.

But Damon Salvatore was no mistake. He was gentle and endearing. She was completely consumed by him when ever he was near. It had taken both of them years until they allowed their love to fully blossom; both of them were unsure if the other had felt the same way. But once they had taken that chance, and kissed for the very first time in that field of purple flowers, there was no denying it.

They were made for each other, like the night and the day. One was mysterious and dark, while the other was golden and light. Damon had always referenced Elena to the sun, as he stated that she was his warmth and that she alone guided him away from even his darkest desires.

Elena was fantasizing about his eyes when the familiar hum of a starship snapped her out of her trance. Standing up abruptly, Elena straightened out her dress and walked towards the landing plate. Her shoes clicked against the smooth floor; her heart racing with nerves and uncertainty.

The white starship glided down gently and landed with a thud. The sunset in the distance caused the ship to glare orange light. Holding her quivering hands, Elena stood straight and tried to remain calm, which of course, she wasn't at all.

The back of the starship opened up slowly allowing the young Jedi to exit. One after another, hooded Jedi knights strides out of the ship. Elena knew exactly which cloak she was looking for. Black, with gray trim, Damon's hood stood out against the casual brown or tan cloaks. He always enjoyed his signature look; he was proud like that.

Standing on her tiptoes, Elena desperately searched through the crowd for her love. Then, she saw it. The flowing dark hood, the man with tossed raven hair and piercing blue eyes.

Damon.

Elena, even though in high topped shoes, ran over to Damon, ignoring the numerous stares she received from the other Jedi. Spotting Elena, Damon smiled. His arms opened up to embrace her as she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her.

He smelled like fire and war. Again, his signature scent. Although most people would find the smell unsettling, Elena thought it smelled like Damon's bravery. His bravery to fight the Sith and fight for peace made Damon that much more attractive.

Holding Elena closely to him, Damon rubbed her back soothingly.

It was a secret message between the two of them. It simply was a motion that showed how much they appreciated being together. It was like a nonverbal, "Everything's okay". Even though Elena had been through this very situation multiple times, Elena always found her eyes swelling with tears out of relief that Damon was still alive and well. She couldn't imagine a galaxy with out him in it. The near thought of him dying was unbearable to Elena. He had always been there for her throughout her childhood, and for that, she was more than grateful.

"I love you, Lena." Damon whispered into Elena's ear.

Elena giggled, even as tears were sliding down her cheeks.

"As I love you, Damon." She whispered back. Releasing her tight embrace around Damon's shoulders, Elena took a step back to examine his face. He had grime and ash smeared on his face. Totally normal. He also had a cut above his eyebrow. It was still bleeding slightly.

"You're hurt," Elena worriedly said as she raised her hand to lightly touch Damon's cheek.

"It's merely a cut. Nothing I can't handle." Damon grinned. Elena smiled; his sarcastic nature was coming back.

"Come on, let's go home. I'll clean up your cut once we get there." Elena explained.

"Yes, my Queen." Damon dramatically replied; bowing down like a peasant would to his ruler.

Elena laughed, and playfully slapped his shoulder.

"I'm not your Queen, and get up. Your comrades are starting to stare,"

"Stare at how beautiful you are? You're right. How dare they let their eyes feast upon such an elegant creature." Damon, still in drama mode, expressed.

Elena rolled her eyes, and pulled Damon up by his sleeves.

"I see you two are still at it like children."

Damon and Elena both turned to see Damon's brother, Stefan.

Dressed in his usual tan cloak, Stefan was always like a lion. He had goldish hair with green eyes. He always had a sense of peace to him, like he always was calm and at ease.

"Well, I guess playtime is over, my Queen." Damon teased. Stefan smiled and patted Damon on the shoulder.

"Good to see you, Elena." Stefan greeted with a smile.

"As to you, Stefan." Elena replied with a polite curtsy of her dress.

"I hope to hear that my brother wasn't being too much a hand full for you," Stefan joked.

"Trust me brother, Lena's got me on a tight leash." Damon smirked.

Elena stared at Damon with challenging eyes. Damon shrugged his shoulders.

"You heard him, Stefan. I don't let Damon to get too crazy." Elena stated still staring at Damon with judging eyes. Damon stared right back.

"Okay, well, I'll leave you two to your staring," Stefan said.

Stefan released his hand off Damon's shoulder and friendly kissed Elena on the cheek before he walked away.

Damon and Elena immediately begin laughing once Stefan was far away, both amused by their childish games. Damon was still laughing as he wrapped his arm around his girl's shoulder and begin walking with Elena holding his waist.

As they were walking down the corridor with tons of tall columns, Elena poked Damon in the side and sexily whispered into his ear,

"I'm starting to think I'll have to wash all the dirt off of you."

Damon grinned. "I think you'll just have to join me, my love."

Elena smiled mischievously and kissed Damon on his cheek.

She couldn't wait until they got back home.
