Summary: Set in S4E6 "We All Go A Little Made Sometimes." What if Damon had gotten to her a little late to save her from burning? Will she live?594Please respect copyright.PENANAwxN7YMm8id
It was a beautiful day, as Elena Gilbert stood on the Whickery bridge looking across the river.594Please respect copyright.PENANAqbVlV1AU3j
"You should've died here with us," her mom said.594Please respect copyright.PENANAvd8RWHOpzD
She looked at her mother.594Please respect copyright.PENANA0aEQRo2kin
She knew she was hallucinating, but she couldn't help it.594Please respect copyright.PENANAETphy7yigf
"You know what you have to do," her mom said.594Please respect copyright.PENANADOhYKejcar
"You're right," Elena agreed, before she took her Lapis Lazuli Daylight ring off. And as she started to burn in the sun, she screamed in pain and let the ring land on the bridge. Her mother disappeared, as she continued to burn.
Damon had a lucky guess as to where Elena was, so he headed towards the location. He hoped he wasn't too late to save her, thinking of what could happen if they got too bad. He knew from firsthand experience that when a vampire is dying or hallucinating, the vampire would more likely kill or try to kill her or himself.
When he found her, she was on her back on the bridge badly burnt. When he saw that, he raced over and knelt at her side. She was barely conscious. He saw her ring and put it back on her, which stopped her from burning. Then he gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet. With her in his arms, he walked towards her place.
Later, she came to see that she was in her room on her bed, Damon watching her by her desk. She also saw that she was healed.594Please respect copyright.PENANAiAghBADKVO
"Feeling better?" he asked.594Please respect copyright.PENANA4d7mF3T62I
"Yeah; thanks."594Please respect copyright.PENANAvuyqKu6lZs
"You're very welcome, Elena."594Please respect copyright.PENANA2AYXX0kmCF
He gave her a smile.
