If It Wasn't For You

All The Possibilities

Damon

I had Elena wrapped in my arms and I was kissing her with intense fierceness. To my surprise she didn't struggle against me. She kissed me back just as passionately. I was filled with bliss, I never felt a feeling as the one I was feeling now. I wanted her, all of her but I had to stop before I took it to far. Christ! I didn't want to stop though, she was running her fingers through my hair and I was holding her at the small of her back. The next thing I know I could feel my fangs throb for wanting to taste her sweet, delectable blood. I finally found the courage to break our heated embrace.

"Elena," I breathed with my very coarse voice. " We gotta stop my love."

"Why?" she asked sounding regretful with her blue eyes glistening with water, and my heart broke at the sight. What? My heart broke? I am a ruthless vampire I did not feel these such things when it comes to mere humans. But Elena, she's changing me more and more every minute. She wasn't just any human, she was mine. One day I would make her mine.

"Listen, we barely know each other and there's something about me that I can't tell you. But when the time is right I will let you know." she brought her little delicate hand to my face and caressed my cheek.

"You can tell me anything Damon." she said as she stared to what seemed to feel like my soul. If I had one. I wanted her even more in that moment but I didn't come here to be distracted by a little girl. I was here to break a curse so that I could be free to do as I please. Maybe, just maybe, if I break the curse that I could really be with Elena. I looked into those captivating eyes and searched for something, anything that would tell me that I could tell Elena my secret and that she would understand. The next thing I know a gust of wind blew her window open.

"I'm sorry you gotta go Damon." said Elena and she looked like she was somewhere else. She looked as if her mind had drifted off to another realm.

"Elena can you hear me?" I asked her as I looked into her spaced out eyes.

"You must leave now Damon." she repeated with a determined tone. The next thing I know she was up and out the window. I ran to the window and she was nowhere in sight. What the hell just happened? I jumped out the window after her and I couldn't pick up her scent or anything. It was like she just fell off the face of the earth.

Elena

"Elena, come my child, come and find me." The voice it was calling to me, I needed to find the voice to get the answers that I needed. Why did the voice have to show up while I was talking to Damon? Before I knew it I was up and out the window. Something or someone caught me and took me somewhere. I didn't know who it was or where we were going but my pendant began to hum. I didn't know what that meant but it was a soft melodic hum as if it was telling me that I could trust this person. It didn't hum when I was with Damon, but then again it didn't really do anything while I was with Damon. The feel of this complete strangers arms around me made me think that they were male. They were big, strong, muscled arms. For what seemed like hours only took seconds and then we stopped in a clearing that I knew was no longer in the town of Mystic Falls.

"Elena Gilbert, oh how I waited for a long time to see you." A tall man about 6'2" I would say, put me down on my feet in front of him. He had blonde hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a black shirt and dark blue jeans. He looked modern and had a slight British accent.

"Who are you?" I asked him. He was smiling down at me and I just felt uneasy at his gaze.

"I'm an old friend." he shrugged.

"No, really who are you and why is the pendant humming?" I asked as I touched and it felt warm in my palm.

"It's humming because it knows that I created it, and my name is Elijah. I'm an original." He said and his smile got bigger if that was even possible.

"An original what?" his statements were sending my head into a whirlwind. I didn't know what he was talking about and where he was going with all this. I just wanted to go home and go to sleep and wake up from this dream.

"An original vampire my darling." he said sweetly. A WHAT? A vampire? Vampires doesn't exist, this can't be true. I was shaking my head at him refusing to believe what he was saying.

"No, no that can't be possible."

"Oh, it's possible my love and I need your help."

"Help with what?" I asked scared that he may want to kill me for a sacrifice or something.

"Elena, my dear, you are a doppelganger, that means that you are an exact replica of one of your ancestors. In this case your great-great-great- grandmother Katerina Petrova is your doppelganger and she is also a vampire. I would use her if she wasn't a vampire. See I need human blood of a doppelganger, that would be you my dear."

"Need my bl-bl-blood? F-for what?" I stuttered and then I started to walk slowly away from him because he was really starting to startle me.

"Elena, I need to break a curse, I need your blood for the spell. I don't need all of it, if you think you're going to be killed or something. I just need a couple drops. Elena, I could never hurt you if I tried see I'm kind of like your protector."

"What do you mean?" I asked now I felt a little reassured since he didn't want to kill me.

"Well ya see, over the years I kept my eyes on you. Always steering you away from danger, or something that would harm you physically."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I need you sweetheart."

"How do I know I can trust you?" I still wasn't sure if he was the person I should trust just yet.

"Well first, I'm a vampire and I can make you trust me, and second, I just told you I'm a vampire."

P.S. I dedicated this to LauraSwift because she is an avid reader and I really appreciate everything you say. It means sooo much. I also added a picture of Elijah off to the side and I think that he is a very handsome man. :)

~Thanks to the reader who pointed out that it's Petrova not Putrova. That doesn't even look right lol. :D
