"Elena i'm... a vampire" he said squezzing my hand. What, this must be a sick joke. I mean seriously, a vampire?

(Damon's POV)

Damn, i shouldn't have told her. I knew she wasn't ready for this. Why am i so stupid? She's probably thinking 'what the hell's wrong with him' right now. I stare at her blank face. What i would give just to know what she's thinking right now.

"Elena?" I ask her since she seems to be so lost in thought. She looks at my face. Oh geez here it comes. Then suddenly out of nowhere she giggles, what? "Damon come on, that's gotta be a joke, although it's really not that funny" she said to me returning to a serious face. "I'm not joking" i say back to her with a more serious face. "What?" She asks me with a disbelief look. Ok here goes.

I take her hands in mine "Elena, i should have told you sooner. Yes, i'm a vampire. I compell, hurt and kill people and not feel guilty about it. I understand if you want to run away right now, besides i don't deserve you" i slowly let go of her hands but she strangely tighten her hold "wait" she said.

I look at her in the eyes for a moment until she suddenly out of nowhere turns back and run away. Damn i knew this was gonna happen. I vamp speed to her knowing she doesn't know tge way home. I grab her shoulder to refrain her from running but she just keeps on avoiding me. "Elena stop" i tell her "let me go Damon, please" she was close to tears at this moment. What have i done?

"Elena let me take you home" i say to her but she just keeps on tugging on my arm. "No" she half shouted at me. Suddenly when i wouldn't budge she gave up and leans her head on my chest and me pulling her into a hug. She was relly crying now. "I c cant" she sttutered obviously in fear. "I know, i'm sorry. Just please let me take you home. I can't forgive myself if something bad happened to you" i said to her. She pushes her hand on my chest and i let her go. We were facing each other now. "When did you plan on telling me? You had to wait until i fell for you" she confessed. She practically in tears now.

I move forward to hold her but she took a step backwards. All i wanna do right now is comfort her and tell her that everything is gonna okay. "You fell for me?" I asked her. "As if it isn't obvious enough" she says with a hint on sarcasm in her voice. "Elena i'm sorry if you had to know about this, but i needed to tell you sonner or later" i said to her. "I trully understand if you don't want to continue our relationship anymore" i said to her with a reassuring smile.

She moved her head to the side not wanting to look at me as she wiped off her tears. She thought about it for awhile. "Just take me home, Damon" she managed to say. I nodded and brought her to my car. It was a long ride of silence and i have to admit it kind of awkward.

We finally arrived at her house as i parked my car in her driveway. I turned to open my door and got out to vamp speed to her's and and open it. I'm pretty much sure she noticed my speed but she didn't react much. She got out and faced me as i closed her door back. "I guess that was one of your vampire skills" she asked. I was suprised at how clamed she was now. "Yes" i answered her.

There was a moment of us just staring into each other's eyes. And i broke the tension "Good night Elena" i told her as i turned my back to get back in my car. "Wait" she said and i glanced my head at her direction.

She took a step closer to me. "I do want to continue our relationship. It's just that this is a lot to take in and i need time" she said to me. I cup one of her cheek with my hand "i'll wait for you" i say sweetly to her. As i leaned down on her she stiffened "shhhhh" i say calming her down as i kiss her cheek.

I let go of her and she was staring up at me. "Have a goodnight Elena" i told her as i walked back to my car and she started walking to her house. Before i got the chance to get in my car i heard her say "goodnight Damon" it was barely a whisper but as i vampire i heard it crystal clear as i smile to myself.

I drove home half sad half happy but i wasn't in the mood to argue with Stefan. I went in and immediately saw him sitting on the sofa reading something. Really Stefan? This is how you kill time? Reading? Geez, this dude must be bored of his life. I went past him a quite as i could knowing that if i used my vampire speed he'd heard me.

"You went to show Elena your secret place have you" he asked me which startled me a little bit. "Yes i have now if you excuse me i have to go in my room" i said confidently like nothings wrong. "How did she take it" he asked qhich took a little bit by suprise, how did he know? "The place?" I asked like i didn't know what he was talking about. "No. I meant us being vampires" he settled down his book on the table and stood up facing me. "Not good" i gave up and told him. "Why would you tell her" Stefan asked me. "Because i don't want her to love me without even knowing the real me" i said softly to Stefan. I gotta admit this conversation between us relly helped mw to get all my feelings out. "Did you show her the 'real' you?", he adked me suspiciously.

Now that i think of it, i'm confused. I know that the real me would just hurt her or compell her to be my toy... so why didn't i? I don't know, since i met her i never beared the thought of hurting in any possible, ever. "Goodnight stef, talk to you tomorrow" i said as i vamp speed to my room. I wouldn't hurt Elena, would i?
