Chapter 22: As I Lay Dying

Elena's door was slightly open as Samathea was looking in at her, she then steps back and quietly closes the door and then looks at Jenna's door, she steps to the door, slowly opens it and steps inside.

Everything was untouched, just the way it was left. She then steps back and closes the door shut and then makes her away to her room, but Damon stood in her path. "I'm glad that he's here, but you know that," he tells her, then Samathea sighs. "What do you want, Damon?" she questions him, "I want to apologize." he tells her, "Damon..." she states and went to leave, "Please... I ended up feeding you my blood and I was wrong." he tells her.

She looks at him and nods, "Yes, you were." she tells him, "And I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I need it." he tells her, she sighs. "And I need some time. Maybe a lot of time." she tells him, and he nods, "Sure of course." he tells her and she looks at him, "Take all the time you need." he tells her and she nods.

Damon arrives back at the boarding house and closes the door behind him, he then pulls off his jacket, walking into the living room, placing his jacket on the chair, he then opens the cupboard, looking at the bottles of bounden and he takes the biggest one there and a glass, he walks along and pours himself a drink and takes a sip.

He sets the bottle down and pulls up his sleeve and saw that the bite was getting even worse, he sighs and moves over to the curtains, then pulls them opens and looks up at the sunlight. He then downs his drink, walks back over and places his glass next to the bottle and stood in the sunlight. He then pulls off his ring and drops it onto the ground and his skin started to sizzle and burn, he looks up at the sunlight and held out his arms, and just as he was about to burst into flames, Stefan flashes at him and shoves him to the ground, towering over Damon.

"Got off of me," Damon tells him the vamps back up and went to stand back in the sunlight, but Stefan him over and slams him against the wall. "You're not doing this," Stefan tells him. "I just did," Damon tells him, then Stefan vamps down the hall and slams him up against the wall again. "You know what happened to Rose, Stefan." Damon reminds him. "I don't care," Stefan tells him then vamps down to the cellar and throws Damon inside.

Damon crashes down onto the ground and Stefan stood at the door and slams it shut, "You're not dying today." Stefan tells him and locks the door, Damon props himself up and looks at Stefan. "What's the plan, Superman?" Damon asks him, "I'm going to find a way out of this." Stefan states as Damon was leaning on the back of his elbows, "Oh right, a miracle cure, good luck with that one." Damon tells him, "I got Bonnie looking for something, anything." Stefan tells him, Damon sighs, "Always the hero Stefan, just tell me goodbye and get it over with." Damon tells him and then he started to violently cough.

He turns over and saw that he cough up some of his blood, "Lay still and reserve your strength." Stefan tells him and walks off, Damon just spits out some of his blood and pants.

Elena, Samathea and Jeremy walk out into the crowded "You brought me to see a girl movie." Jeremy states, "We have to get out of the house, Jer. This is our three-hour distraction from reality." Elena tells them as she finds a spot, Samathea said nothing as she followed after them, "Is that what we're doing, pretending that our lives are not screwed?" Jeremy asks her, "We need to do this, for Sammy's sake." Elena tells him.

Jeremy sighs and looks at Samathea, seeing the blank expression on her face, he nods at her, "Breath, and eat, sleep, wake up and do it all over again until one day it's not as hard anymore." Elena tells him as they both unfolded the blanket and laid it down. "Hey!" Caroline calls out and the three look at her, "Who's hungry?" she asks them, setting the baskets down, Samathea smiles a little at Caroline happy personality, she then sat down next to Elena as she moves a basket close to them.
