I don't Believe In Monsters

Chapter 10

Damon's POV

I pull into Elena's small driveway. I'm going to tell her everything. How I feel, how I love her, everything.

I walk out of the car, and make my way to the porch. Once I'm about to open the door I smell blood. My heart sinks.

Every part of me wants to open that door, but part of me doesn't. But I have to.

I reach for the doorknob and slowly twist it. I open the door.

I walk into the house. And what I see is almost heartbreaking. I see Elena next to the wall with blood flowing out of her head.

I run up to her and turn her over on her back. I bite my wrist frantically and put it in her mouth. She's not reacting. SHE'S NOT REACTING!

I bite it again and put my wrist back into her mouth. Nothing. I hold her in my arms feeling defeated.

Suddenly, I feel her lips move against my wrist. Shock runs through me as she continues to drink. She grabs my wrist and pushes it away from her mouth. She shoots up quickly and says,"Damon?! Where is he? Where did he go? Is he still here??!"

"Who? What happened Elena, you have to tell me." I say worried.

"S-stefan he was here. He was normal until he smashed my head against the wall! W-w-why is he like that Damon? What happened to him?.......Oh no.....he's the-" I cut her off.

"Ripper." I finish.

Elena's eyes squint and she starts to cry, a little.

"Hey Elena, it'll be fine. Everything will be fine." I say trying to calm her down.

She stands up and says, "Jeremy's dead. Klaus is my brother. I'm adopted. Stefan is crazy and I don't even know what to do anymore! I can't lose anyone else Damon!" She yells banging her fists down in anger, which causes her to cut her hand.

I speed walk up to her and pull her hands down and say,"Stop it. You're going to hurt yourself, please." I say soothingly.

I hold her wrists In my hands. "What does it matter? Anymore?" She says quietly.

"Everything, it matters everything. Elena, I'd you die I, I'll, I'll-" She cuts me off by rapping her arms around me, my head hangs onto her shoulder. Then I hear clapping.

"Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful." Stefan says as he walks into the room.
