Reckless Minds

Memory

I walk into the Salvatore Boarding House. I'm tired and it's 11:45.

"Hello doppelganger." I glare at the arrogant Salvatore.

"Are you kidding me?" He stands up.

"What'd I do?"

"Oh I don't know, Damon. Maybe it's 11 pm and I was asleep." He smiles at me then holds his hand out. I take it then I pull his lips to mine.

"I'll make it worth your while. It's Christmas Eve." He gently spins me then dips me, making me laugh. He pulls me toward the fire then stops for a second. He smirks at me then looks up. I follow his gaze and my heart speeds up when I see... mistletoe. The ass. I smile anyways. He gently pulls me closer.

"It can be your Christmas gift to me." He leans a little closer to me.

"But I already got you a gift." He smiles and closes the space between us, his lips fiery against mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist. I tightly clutch his raven mane. I push myself against him and when we finally pull away, he leans his forehead against mine. I breathe out shakily, keeping my arms wrapped around him. He smiles at me.

"That's all I wanted for Christmas. Our first kiss under the mistletoe." He pulls away and takes my vervain necklace off. I try to stop him. He sets it down then pulls something out of his pocket.

"Elena Gilbert, you need to forget. I don't mean compulsion, I mean you need to move on. And I also don't mean move on with me, but... just open it." I open the box to find a heart shaped locket with vervain inside. On the outside is a  beautiful sapphire with Elena carefully inscribed. On the other side, my heart skips a beat when I see; I love you, Elena. I look up at him.

"Thank you." I whisper. I wrap my arms around him and he kisses my head. I take it out of the box and I hold it out. He smiles and puts it on me. It feels the same, but somehow I feel lighter. I pull Damon upstairs to his room.  Open the door to his balcony and he just watches.

"Are you coming or not?" He nods. I climb up the drains and he laughs.

"What the hell are you doing?" I look down at Damon.

"I'm showing you something." I check my phone.

11:55.

I smile at him.

"Come on!" I keep moving until we're on the roof.

"You better not be staring at my ass." He laughs then climb on the roof. I go over to the edge.

"You're not going to jump, are you?" I smile at him then I pull out my phone again.

12:00.

"I want to give you your second present. I still have another one, but I think this might mean the most." It starts raining. I smile.

"We should get out of here." He says.

"Not until you see this." I hold out Stefan's necklace. I go over to the edge and I throw it as far as possible. I turn back to him and I walk up and wrap my arms around his neck.

"I want you to give me a gift. One that you can't wrap but one that will mean everything to me." He nods.

"Promise me this is forever." He smiles at me, his bright blue eyes sparkling with joy.

"I promise." I smile brightly at him and he presses his lips against mine. We stand there on the roof, our lips and hearts together on Christmas Day. When we get inside, he pulls me downstairs.

"I have to dry off." He presses his lips to mine again.

"Hang on." I smile then he sets 2 presents in front of me.

"I'll open them upstairs." I throw a present at him and he smiles.

"So you do the pajama thing too." I giggle at him. Once I'm upstairs, I open the big one first. I smile at the silk robe and the short nightgown which is a tiny bit longer than a lingerie dress and isn't see through or lace. I smile and slip the nightgown on. I put my hair up into a bun and I open the other one to see a vial of blood. I smile and read the tag.

This can be our forever. I love you.

I run downstairs and I jump into his arms.

"I love you. I want to." He smiles at me again. I take the top off then I tip back the vial and let the blood run down my throat. We open all of our presents first (which of course from Damon is a few intimate items) then I smile at him.

"I'm ready Damon. I'm ready to be with you forever. You promised." He smiles down at me then I reach up and kiss him gently.

"This won't hurt." I nod. He quickly snaps my neck and I'm thrown into darkness.

Sooo, Elena, turned on Christmas!!! Yayyy!!! I thought this would clarify how she was turned since... well... I never actually wrote the scene. I did but differently... REWRITE!
