I don't Believe In Monsters

Chapter 19

Damon's POV

"Hello, brother." Stefan says with no emotion on his face. I run towards him, I'm going to kill him. But before I get to him he pushes me against the side of the bridge. And for being a vampire, this actually really hurts.

"Damon!" Elena yells as she runs over to me kneeling down next to me, as she pulls me into her waist. She is staring at Stefan like she is literally about to kill him.

"Lets get started then. Okay Alaric come here." She demands as she drags him by his arm the the edge of this god forsaken bridge.

"What are you doing Katherine?" Elena asks her voice shaking. My poor Elena..

Elena's POV

"What are you doing Katherine?" I ask as I tighten my grip on Damon's shoulder.

She gets out some small rope and ties Alaric to the bridge. He winces as she pulls the black rope tight.

"What are you DOING KATHERINE?!" I yell.

She smirks not looking at me but looking at Ric.

"Some vampire hunter..." She sighs cockily. She comes over to where I am holding Damon on the ground. She grabs his arm and pulls so hard that she could yank his arm off.

"KATHERINE!" I yell wanting Damon's presence back onto my arms.

"WHAT? Goodness stop yelling!" She yells back. I outta....

She pulls Damon a few inches away from Alaric and ties him to the bridge as well. Damon rolls his eyes.

"What are you gonna do? Huh? What's your master plan? Do anything to me but if you touch her I swear I will rip your heart out of your chest." He says protectively.

"Too bad one of you two won't be alive to see it." She says.

Wait, what does she mean. Is she going to kill one of them? She cant! She cant do this!

"Here you go Elena," Katherine says handing me a wooden stake, "which one is it gonna be? Are you going to kill Alaric or Damon?"

No. No, she cant make me choose! SHE CANT DO THIS TO US!!

"I cant choose katherine, I won't choose!" I yell tears forming In my eyes. Why cant my stupid life be normal? Why....

"You will or I kill both of them." She says smirking. What am I going to do?  I cant choose between the two people I care about most in this world.

I know exactly what I can do though... I catch Stefan in the back laughing.

"Do you think this is funny? Is this entertaining you? Well guess what? I'll choose. But you wont get what you want. You will never, EVER win. I'll make sure of that." I say. I look over at  Damon seeing his eyes filled with fear, and hurt. And Alaric's filled with pain and anxiety. I know what I have to do.

"Can I say goodbye?" I ask.

"Ugh, sure whatever. Hurry up though." She scoffs. I roll my eyes, as the tears poor out of them. I'm so scared.

I slowly walk over to Alaric and I hug him. He cant hug back but he buries his head in my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Elena. I'm so sorry. I love you." He whispers. You can tell he's crying a bit.

"Don't be ric. I love you so much too. Thankyou for everything." I whisper back and kiss him on the cheek. I smile to reassure him. He looks to the ground.

I walk over to Damon as his head looks down. Even if he is not looking straight at me you can tell he's is hurt, and sad, and scared. I get to him and I lift his head into the crease of my shoulder. He kisses my neck once and puts his head back down.

"I love you...Elena." He says mumbling into my shoulder. His voice was, sad.

"I love you so much, and I'm so sorry this is happening. I know my choice." I say. He nods and looks at me as one tear falls from his cheek to the ground. I smash my lips against his once more before I pull away and walk over to stand in the middle of Damon and Alaric.

"Any last words before you choose between the two?" Katherine asks as I grip the wooden stake In my hands.

"Yeah actually." I say.

Damon's POV

"Any last words before you choose between the two?" Katherine asks Elena. I'm going to admit this now. I've never been so scared.

"Yeah actually." Elena says. Elena, what are you going to do.....

Katherine nods at Elena telling her to get on with it.

"Guess you don't always get what you want when your a spoiled brat." Elena says, two seconds before she stabs herself with the wooden stake, she gripped in her hand so tightly.
