Elena's POV
I didn't recognize the house I was in as I rose from the wooden floor I had been laying on. I looked around the dimly lit house and didn't see anyone around but something was making me go towards the stairs. I could sense someone was upstairs. I cringed when I heard a creak coming from one of the floor boards beneath my feet. I gently tip toes up all the stairs and looked around. One door was open and it had a light on inside. I quietly walked over to the door and took a breath before pushing it open.

     The first thing I saw was Damon, lying on the floor but he was still breathing.

"Stefan, don't do it this isn't you brother" I heard him say between panting from the pain of what looked to be wooden bullets.
"Oh, but, Damon that's where you're wrong." Stefan said and cocked his head with a sickening smile. "This is me now".
     I tried to move and to speak but my body felt paralyzed. I felt tears streaming down my face from Damon being hurt and I couldn't do anything to help him. I watched Stefan break a leg off a wooden chair and over to the older Salvatore.

"Goodbye brother" Stefan said right before staking Damon right in the heart. Suddenly everything felt too real as I watched the life leave Damon's eyes. I realized that I could move once again so I ran straight to him and gathered up his withering body in my arms. I was crying so hard it hurt.
"Damon, no! Please you can't leave me! Please please please" I begged.
"Elena....I...love....you" Damon choked out before taking his last breath.
"Damon I love you too!" I cried, hoping he could still hear me. My heart was broken into a million pieces and I couldn't breath. I saw a piece of broken glass lying next to me on the floor so I grabbed it and slid it across my neck.

*************************************

     I woke up gasping for air. I felt the tears still streaming down my face from my nightmare. I felt a hand on my shoulder and jumped. When I sw who it was I wrapped him so tightly in my arms that if he were human I would have broken some bones.
"Shh, shh, it's okay baby" Damon coaxed.
"Damon I...I thought..you-you were.....dead." I said between sobs. Damon was hugging me tightly to his chest and rubbing my back.
"I'm not Lena, I'm right here. It was just a dream. Okay sweetheart?" Damon said while pulling back a bit so he could look at my face. I must have looked like a lunatic. I nodded my head and rested my forehead on his. My crying became silent and I just let the tears fall freely. I breathed in his scent which was the most comforting smell in the world to me.
"Do you wanta talk about it?" Damon questioned after a minute of silence.
I took a deep breath and spoke. "Stefan staked you and when I saw u were dead I...I killed myself."
"Elena promise me you would never kill yourself no matter how much pain your in"
"I promise Damon, so long as I don't loose you" I looked straight into his eyes and saw the shock written all over him. I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. It made fireworks go off in my head and made everything that was wrong with the world, right. I pulled away because there was a voice in the back of my head telling me not to do it. Damon looked so stunned and that was a sight you rarely see ok Damon Salvatore.
"I'm going to go back to sleep" I said to break the silence. I climbed off of him and crawled under the sheets. He got up to go back to his own bed but I didn't want him so far away.
"Damon wait, will you stay with me tonight?" I asked. He grinned genuinely and nodded walking to the other side of the bed. He tried to give me space but I shoved my body right up against his side. I wrapped my arm around his stomach and laid my head on his chest. While he was playing with my hair I fell fast asleep in the arms of the man who loves me.
