I don't Believe In Monsters

Chapter 12

Elenaś POV

I pull away from Damon and keep my hands on his chest.

¨How are you still alive?¨ I say looking up at him.

¨Just make sure next time you see Bon Bon you say thank you.¨ He says with a smile on his face.

¨Elena, what are w¨ He starts.

¨I have a quick question.  Did Stefan hurt you Elena?¨ Klaus asks.

¨Uh he just, uh,¨ I get cut off.

¨He smashed her head on the wall, almost gave her a concussion.¨ Damon says. 

Great. Stefan's dead. 

¨Hmm......I say we get Freya to do a location spell, go find Stefan, and then kill him." Klaus suggested.

"No one is killing anyone." I say.

"I'm up for that." Damon replies.

"Damon! How about you guys just go find him, and then kick the humanity back into him?" I suggest. 

"Uhhhhhhh. Fiiiine." Damon moans. I roll my eyes.

"Since Stefan has been invited into your house, you need to move into this place. It's safer." Klaus says.

"I I don't know Klaus, I don't think so..." I reply.

"Elena, he's right it's safer here." Damon says.

"I don't...fine." I say in defeat.

"While we go out looking for Stefan, bring the stuff you need over here, go up the stairs and take it to the second door to the right." Klaus says.

"Wait, what about Alaric? He lives with us you know?" I say.

"Let him here to. Fourth door on the left." Klaus says.

"I'll call him." Damon says and walks out of the room.

"FREYA!" Klaus yells.

Freya comes walking down the stairs. "Hey Elena." She says. I wave.

"Do a location spell on Stefan." Klaus says.

"Do you have something that belongs to him?" Freya asks.

"His blood, on my shirt. Will that work?"Damon asks.

"Take off your shirt. Give." Freya says.

Damon takes off his black T-shirt and hands it to Freya. She lays it on the table in front of her and starts a spell.

"Es Motos Tribhrum, Ezeilez Motos Elenorazotas." She starts. Suddenly all of the blood starts to come out of the shirt. Its mixed with Stefan's and Damon's blood.

She pours the blood onto the map and starts another spell. The blood leads right to West Virginia. 

"Lets go." Damon says. Freya walks back upstairs and Klaus goes to start the car. 

"No. You died once, you can die again." I say.

"Elena, he tried to KILL you. Iḿ not letting that pass. I may die but I will die saving the girl I love." Damon says.

He said he loved me. I knew he did, but hearing him say it changes everything. I love him as well.

"What are we Elena? Tell me that." Damon says.

"I'll tell you when you come back ALIVE." I say.

He looks me straight in the eyes. I look through his trying to see what he is thinking but right now, its inevitable. I lean in and hug him. Tighter than I've ever hugged him before. He wraps his arms around me as well. Everything is happening so fast. I was with Stefan for a year and a half. But I can't help what I feel. Somehow it feels like I'm betraying Stefan, which I kind of am but I cannot contain what is happening right now. Stefan was nice, and sweet, and safe, he protected me, but Damon is compassionate, loving, protective, and a little bit dangerous. And I love them for that. But my love for Stefan was fake. Real love has bumps in the road, me and Stefan were always happy, we never fought. Damon and I, we have something....and understanding, and we have problems....there is no denying that. But that's what real love is. It's not perfect.

"Klaus and I will take my car. You can take your brothers." Damon says.

He walks out of the door without saying another word.

Time Skip

I walk out to Klaus' car, open the door and get in.

As I drive down the road for the second hour, my phone starts to ring. It's Klaus.

"Hey. Have you guys found anything?" I answer.

"If dead bodies that have been put back together counts as anything than.... yes." He says. I sigh.

"Yeah, that's definitely Stefan."

"Yeah. Well, I- ha-t-go-o" He says but the phone is breaking out.

"What?" I ask.

"He-ll-o?" He stutters.

I look down at my phone to see if he still is on, which he is, but he is breaking out. Before I can look up I hear a loud honking noise. I look up to see a car coming, and swerving straight at me. Before I can react it runs right into me.

I feel the car tipping, tossing and turning as I hear, "Elena? ELENA?" Coming out of my phone, before I pass out.

Damon's POV

"Elena? ELENA?" I hear Klaus yell into the phone. I march over to Klaus as he hangs up the phone, with pure fear on his face.

"What? WHAT happened????" I ask angrily. On the inside, I'm kind of freaking out. But I'm sure Klaus can see right through me.

"We have to go, NOW!"
