Delena-Just Friends?

Looking For Stefan (part 2)

Damon's POV

We've been running for a little bit and now it's completely dark, making it even more dangerous.

I hear Elena trip behind me and I immediately turn around to see if she's okay. But what I see causes me to panic. She's face to face with a werewolf. One wrong move and she could be dead in an instant. Words can't express the fear I'm feeling right now.

"Don't move," I say softly and seriously to Elena. She looks up at the creature and terror is written all across her face. She gasps in fear. I have to do something. Anything to get that beast away from her.

"Here doggy doggy," I say to it. It turns to look at me and I immediately vamp-speed away. The wolf follows close behind me. I realize I could die, but I don't care. As long as Elena is safe.

Elena's POV

Instant fear consumes me. Damon just ran off followed by a werewolf to save me. If he dies it's all my fault. I could never live with the guilt, let alone the pain of losing the person who has grown to understand me more than anyone.

"Come on, we have to keep moving." Ric says.

"No, we can't leave Damon!" I yell.

"He can handle himself, let's move!" Alaric says.

"If he gets bit, he'll die! I am the reason that he's out here!" I shout.

"I'm the reason that he's out here! I told him where we were, and I'm telling you to keep moving. Let's go!" Alaric yells.

"Elena! Now!" He shouts angrily.

I begrudgingly obey and we run off. Now I see why Damon didn't want me coming out here.

Damon's POV

I speed away as far as I can. I think I've finally lost him. I relax for a second, but then the hybrid from earlier sneaks up behind me. I react quickly and kick him to the ground.

This doesn't do much to hurt him however. He gets up immediately, lunging at me. I push him back but he's stronger than I thought, and he lands a punch square on my cheek.

We swing at eachother multiple times before he shoves me into a tree, flashing his fangs at me. This is it, he's going to bite me and I'm going to die. I swear he's about to sink his fangs into my neck, but someone pulls him away from me and rips his heart out.

It's Stefan. See why I call him a ripper? I guess he hasn't shut of his humanity yet, since he saved my life.

"Fancy meeting you here," I say sarcastically.

"What part of 'don't follow me' don't you understand?" He asks, angrily.

"You might wanna take that up with your girlfriend, Stefan. If you don't want her chasing you, I'd stop with the late night phone calls." I say in my most know-it-all tone.

"I didn't call her." He says as he shakes his head.

"Bullshit Stefan. You know she's not gonna give up on you." I say, truthfully.

"She has to, because I'm never coming back." He says. I could beat him to a pulp right now for causing Elena so much pain. But I resist that urge.

"Why don't you get her home. See if you can keep her there this time," He tells me. I roll my eyes at how much of a dick he's being and walk away, back to my car.

Elena's POV

We finally get back to the car and we get in. I already told Ric that I'm not leaving until we know Damon is okay.
