Lost and Found

Part 1:Back from the dead

Damon's pov-

"What? What do you mean she has no memory of me?" I exclaimed.
I just came back from the dead and my dear brother Stefan is here to greet me in the tomb. I gotta say, it feels terribly liberating being able to see another familiar face. After a long heartfelt hug, he bombarded me with several comments, questions, and concerns. I quickly explained to him that Bonnie got me out, but she's still stuck on the other side. This is definitely going to be a huge problem, but no matter what, I'm vowing to myself right here and now that I will get her back. However, that will have to be put on hold, because all I can think about right now is seeing her, the gorgeous love of my life Elena. I tried to excuse myself, but Stefan stopped me, only to break the soul crushing news to me. Something that I really didn't need or want to hear right now.
"Look Damon, when you supposedly died, Elena ...she was crushed. She didn't know what to do with herself. I guess after a while the pain was unbearable so...she made Alarik erase her memories of you. Not completely, she still knows who you are, but she doesn't know you as her boyfriend with fond memories, just as my brother and the guy who's a monster and caused her pain" Stefan explained.
I stared at him in disbelief, my chest tightening, and oxygen leaving my body. That can't be, she wouldn't just throw our entire relationship away like that...would she?
"That doesn't make any sense, I mean...are you sure?" I said, scanning the floor, trying to think.
"Yes, Alaric told me a few days ago. I-I'm sorry Damon" he said, sympathetic as always, giving me a weak pat on my shoulder.
W-why the hell would she do that? I mean I just heard why, but it just seems so unreal. So Elena doesn't have any memories of our time together? She doesn't remember how we were in a relationship or our first kiss...nothing. The bottomless pit in my stomach grew, I didn't know whether to be infuriated or deflated.
"Well we can fix it right? There has to be a way to fix it. Ric can fix it, that bastard. Where is he? I'm gonna kick his sorry ass" I tensed, now angry at Alaric for taking her memories away in the first place.
I was about to storm out when Stefan pushed me back
"Damon, listen, you don't want to do that -"
"Oh brother, I really do. Now let me go" I warned.
"No, you know you're just looking for someone to blame right now. Besides, Alaric isn't even here. He went on a trip with Jo out of state. He won't be back for at least a week"
Well that's just great, that bastard. Talk about the most dick move ever. I sighed and took Stefan's hand off me.
"Where's Elena" I asked.
"At her dorm"
"Perfect, I have a great plan: I'm gonna knock on Elena's door and when she sees me, all her memories are gonna come back and it's gonna be like the most cheesy and cliche romance movie ever, everything will be fine"
Stefan closed his eyes and sighed , "Damon-"
I cut him off, "shh, no, don't ruin this for me. It's a plan and it's definitely worth a shot so I'm going to do it and you can't stop me"
"Look I just think you should give her some time, maybe a warning instead of just barging in and expecting her to remember everything after she was compelled to forget you" he suggested.
I looked like I was thinking about it, but in the next second I used my vamp speed to dash the hell out of there. I'm going to find Elena and she will remember...she has to.

Hey! Hope you enjoyed this first part even though this scene was pretty much the same as the actual scene in the episode. Anyways, plenty more parts to come, those ones will be much better, I promise.
