It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUFk3172v
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Rm5iOpNP
"Georgia," I reply.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7e6jy6xUH
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QqPEzhBq
I knew she'd act this way, but I had to keep her safe. Plus, I was on my way to taking a trip here to see some old friends, anyway. That, and I knew it would piss Stefan off. So she's with me.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBOlh4uQeL
"No can do," I reply to her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7veAiwI2y
"Damon," she warns me.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCXWyZSAht
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JRFdVG4AJ
"Hello, Stefan."575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtht09ZTcSZ
"Damon, where's Elena?"575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAdxCXsjCd
"Right here."575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAhBHUhpS8
"Bring her home," he orders.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2czaQtypL
I tell him that I can't and I know he's pissed off, but I don't really care right now. Elena is my priority, as well as this first round trip.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdIrk9leK3
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBszfWi325p
When I pull over, we get out of the car. Elena gets out slowly and acts like she's in pain, which I know she is a little. I'm a vampire, so I can sense pain. So, at vampire speed, I go to stand by her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGcOCuezuG
I look into her eyes.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY7l12hxnZ
"Are you okay?" I ask.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DILBwdzlx
"I'm fine."575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j6mFeCFZI
I know that's a fib, since I sense her pain, but Elena can be stubborn and I don't blame her for not liking me much. I've done a lot of awful things since I arrived in Mystic Falls. But I wouldn't hurt Elena. I would protect her with my life, because I love her, though I would never admit it out loud.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGiqb1SaPn
We arrive at a bar and I introduce her to an old friend whom owns the bar. She makes us a meal and we eat. Then Elena gets a call from Bonnie, I don't know what about, and she walks off to speak to her. Then, a few minutes later, my friends asks me, "Where did your friend go?" I realize it's been too long that she has been gone, so I go to investigate. I go out the back where the door is open and see her cell phone there. So I go in search of her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgOZn4oo1
When I find her at an abandoned sewer plant, Elena yells at me, "Damon, no!" Then I'm attacked from behind by a vampire with a bat. I'm in pain from him hitting me repeatedly with the bat.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvAr3z79A
I look up at him.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KmcLA4mCU
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SamAqtqws
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPaBkjBV2
"You're going to pay," he tells me.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6THLm1si2
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEzbmPgJWs
He turns to look at her and she says, "Please, don't hurt him!" she says.
The next day, I drive back to Mystic Falls with her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC98HRqzer
"I saved your life," she announces.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2f1nCVrj
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
