It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpK5fKepzL
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj06WnOVTa
"Georgia," I reply.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcJAi535ug
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsfcnkDOx1
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElbgiXjrz1
"No can do," I reply to her.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GTsTuDoPC
"Damon," she warns me.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXvKE211Xi
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasde3mhlf1
"Hello, Stefan."544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm4XiOHySZ
"Damon, where's Elena?"544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edoPBg2Cn
"Right here."544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WiQLUoq7
"Bring her home," he orders.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUxvh5mnnj
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NxOseU22h
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eh8WVxKUR
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIoQtuyrLT
I look into her eyes.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgE8hygeIn
"Are you okay?" I ask.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o1AsEcL3r
"I'm fine."544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk7xaQeK3f
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIA7UzKprW
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCrBDV4vNI
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBRhtaSJRI
I look up at him.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDeRPsWoMt
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxoTnqT8g
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7onb0feB4
"You're going to pay," he tells me.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScd0aH7eLD
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9of8FbNOyN
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.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedf5yxqAOE
"I saved your life," she announces.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FWhbhqAaE
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
