A choice to Live or die

(  Comment and vote. Delena for eternity:))

Elena's POV

I remember dying. Down to every last detail. It doesn't make sense I am starting into Damon's eyes he isn't dead, is he?

"Elena," he starts bringing his hand closer and closer until it is cupping my face.

"Elena I need you to listen to me, when you died," so I did die, then why I am I alive. I want to ask Damon what is going on with me and a million other questions but decide to turn my attention back to him. Maybe he can tell me.

"You died with...... vampire blood in your system," I jump back instantly swatting his hand away. As soon as he said the word vampire I felt a aching sensation in my gums, then my appetite kicked in and I automatically growl more hungry than I have ever felt, and my prey was just a couple feet away.

" Elena you don't have to be afraid of me, I am here to help you get through this," he says using a caring tone.

"I never wanted this," I whisper and continue on.

"This wasn't ever supposed to happen to me," my voice rises with every word I say. I can see everyone staring at me, their eyes filled with either pity or sadness.

" Damon I don't want this I cry," I rush over to him and throw myself into his arms. They are the only place I feel safe. I want him to never let me go, never let me back into the world that has put me through hell and back.

Damon's POV

I look at the girl I feel in love with and grimace. She looks as though she has lost her hope for life, I can't stand to see her this way so I have to tell her there is a choice to live or die.

"Elena, you don't have to live like this, if you don't feed in the next day you can die. I know if she chooses to die I will die along side with not being to bare the fact that I suggested suicide as a cure. I can't believe I said those words but I can't be selfish with her I just can't. I try to read her face and she absorbs the words I just said. I know that every one else is here watching us but it feels like it is only me and her against the world.

"Damon," she says I hold my breath not knowing what's coming next. I stare at her trying to remember her every detail for when I journey to the other side.

"I want you to know that in my darkest hours you have been my light that has helped me hold on. I never wanted this life, the life were I kill innocents to survive. But, the chance to be with you forever is to hard to pass up. I want to live because of you, I want to experience life with you. I want to live forever to be with you. You are my will to live," she says. After 150 years I actually cry, a single tear slides down my cheeck and I bow my head. She lifts my head up with her hand and kisses me it is light and delicate, but our body's move closer and closer together trying to become one. Then being the ass he is Jeremy clears his throat and says, "get a coffin jessh."

Elena breaks away and glares at him.

" vampire pun to soon," he asks sheepishly.

"definitely," Elena replies.

"Elena, the next step is to feed on someone." I remind her carefully not wanting to stir up her already heightened emotions. Matt is the next to speak he says the thing we are all thinking.

"the question of the hour is who is going to be feed on,"

"I'm glad you asked," a smile grows across my face

Matt's POV

I am freaking out right now. My child hood best friend is about to drink my blood so she can become a vampire do know how freaking weird I sound. If I would to tell a normal person hey I am going to let someone drink my blood to become a vampire they would put me in an asylum. I know I have to do this for Elena I couldn't bare to see her feed on someone she doesn't know and have to watch their face when she sinks her teeth their neck. Elena is looking at me now with hungry eyes apparently once her passionate moment with Damon ended she was on kill mode now. Damon helps her up. His eyes never leave her, she looks

up at him and smiles I don't think I have seen her any happier.

"time to make a donation to the Elena Gilbert cause," Damon smiles and leads Elena over.

"okay," he instructs her

"once start the feed you are going to want a lot more but, you have stop when I tell you or else you are going to hurt are star football Matty Blue and the town will never forgive you. She laughs but only half heartedly. She approaches slowly lifts my wrist to her mouth and bites down. At first it stings but then I start to light headed and I begin to not be able to feel my wrist. Elena continues to suck my blood until Damon tugs slightly on her shoulder and brings her back to reality. I expect her to look horrified with what she has done but instead she looks accelerated and pleased. I should be happy that she is alive and adapting to her new life style but instead I am some what disgusted when did my life come to this I ask myself. I stare at the ground until I hear Damon curse under his breath I turn around and see Elena burning to death. Her skin looks deeply sunburned and it continues to spread through out her perfect pale skin. She screams in pain and I rush toward her but am to late. Damon had already grabbed her and was gone in an instant.

Elena's POV

My newly developed fangs sink into the tender soft skin of Matt's arm. I am instantly satisfied with the warm, wet, and red liquid that reaches my lips. I continue to drink and drink, not feeling the slightest bit full. I want to finish Matt of like the last sip of a juice box. I feel him getting less and less stable. I am about to go into a frenzy and ditch his wrist and go straight for the neck until, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I am about to turn around and lunge at the unfortunate creature that has interrupted my meal but, deep inside my brain I feel my humanity kick in. An image flickers in my mind of Damon saying he would tell me to stop if I had to much. I quickly pull away. Feeling good but not satisfied. I look at damon and instantly feel better. He has a proud look on his face and I can't believe how in love with him I am. It feels so good to finally admit it to myself and be able to enjoy him in a way only I can. I begin to walk toward him. I feel like a magnet my body hums the closer I get to him. When I am two steps away I feel an uncomfortable stinging feeling.

I look down and my arm is on fire. I scream and try to swat the flames from my arms. Damon runs up to me and all I can think I have have died in the past the 24 I had to choice to die or live in the past 24 hours and I might not survive the next 24 hours.

Bonnie's POV

I walk up the wide stair case that leads to the rooms of the Salvatore mansion. I faintly nock on the second door in the big hollow hall way. It is slightly open so I decide to go in anyway. The scene that appears before me shocks me. Elena is asleep while Damon Salvatore the man that has done so much evil just is laying there looking at her not touching her but hovering over protectivly. His eyes do not shift from her. I swear that if a meteorite hit he wouldn't flinch. I know I should say something, but seeing Damon turn soft is too hard to resist. After a couple of minutes I remember the mission at hand and clear my throat.

His head snaps around and when he sees me he abruptly gets up fixes the collar on his shirt and looks away embarrassed. He slightly shakes Elena awake.

"let's get started he says."

Elena's POV

I awake once again in Damon's giant bed. This time instead of Meredith I see Bonnie and Damon.

"Hey Elena how are after the incident of this afternoon," Bonnie asks.

"I am fine, why r u here, is everything okay," I ask panic in my voice not wanting to have anything else go wrong in my life.

"Yeah actually it is I came here to give you a gift," she responds.

"You didn't have to do anything," I say while she opens her purse and pulls out a beautiful ring. It has a beautiful stone in the middle. Damon approaches me and takes my hand into his. The stone on the ring is almost identical to the rock on Damon's daylight ring actually now that I look again they are exactly the same. I smile the ring is small but is noticeable. It is so pretty.

"Damon would you like put it on," I ask him. He kisses my hand and slides the ring onto my finger. The metal feels cool against my skin.

"think of this like permanent Sun screen," Damon smiles. I am officially a vampire, and for once it doesn't bother me.
