Summary: Inspired from Return: Night Fall. Damon gets poisoned. Will he be cured before he dies?
Damon Salvatore stood in the shadows of the room, watching from a corner, as Elena Gilbert slept. She was like an angel without wings. She was so peaceful in her sleep. To him, she was like a beautiful rose. A rose that sometimes had thorns, but all the more beautiful. She was his. He loved her with all his heart, mind, and soul. He would do anything for her. He would die for her. Yes. He admitted it now. He loved Elena so much that he would die for her; do anything for her. He was in love with his little brother's once upon a time girl. Damon had loved her from the moment he set eyes on her. He had hid it until the night he brought her her vervain necklace back. Since he had compelled her, she would never remember what he had told her, when she and Stefan had been in love. But he would always remember it.
That morning, as Elena came down the stairs, food was on the table and Damon was in the kitchen putting dirty dishes in the sink.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ePtI3fXLK
"Good morning, sleeping beauty," he greeted her with a smile, as he turned around to look at her.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWGCsKWOD7
"May I ask why you're doing this?" Elena asked the vampire.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH8n9gmALj
Just a few days ago, he had been hurt accidentally by her at Esther's ball, and in turn, she had found Damon at home the other day with Rebekah, Klaus' only sister. Was this his way of apologizing to her for what he had done? For hurting her? She was the one that was supposed to be apologizing, she thought. She had been the reason why he had been hurt. She had accidentally made it sound like there was a problem with Damon loving her. She hadn't meant for it to come out like that.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9jzF9QloV
"What? I can't make you breakfast without having a reason?" he questioned her.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1XAsOP8r
"You can. I just thought you would have a reason. You always have a reason behind everything you do, after all," she answered.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUWlJ16S0e
He gave a smirk.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6VkxDI3QY
"Maybe I just wanted to surprise you with something," he said.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5pgEFE1Hy
"Well, thank you," she said.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ASivj3Cen
"You're welcome, Elena."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77r0SBSVlm
She sat down and began to eat her breakfast of eggs and sausage.
It was a beautiful night, as Damon walked through the woods on an occasional walk. He had just come from the Mystic Grille where he had drank a shot glass of liquor before leaving. Now he was just going for a casual walk alone in the dark. Something he liked to do on occasion. It helped him think things through if he needed to do so.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6GPIxErU
Suddenly, he was stabbed with a dagger in the gut. Someone had snuck up on him from behind. He fell to the ground with the guy standing over him with dagger in hand.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGNRaAWs4s
"Clyde," Damon said, as he looked up at him, a hand to his gut.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbnXiVlFcH
"Damon. Long time no see. Don't you think? I've been waiting a long time for this," he said.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnwhQH1VXs
"Not long enough," a female voice said from the shadows.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILdy9WNJzG
Then she came into view and through Clyde away by his throat, making him hit a tree. Clyde was already on his feet and the two vampires fought, as Damon Salvatore's vision blurred. He knew that there had been poison on that knife when he started getting blurry vision.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOsR3g5XW
Clyde tried to stab Katherine Pierce with the knife, but she twisted his wrist, making him drop the dagger. Then she broke a tree branch off and staked him. As he fell to the ground, Katherine ran to and knelt beside her childe.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiknoihxhy
She rested a gentle hand on the side of his face.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTdnhOb8r5
"Damon. Damon, stay with me," she ordered gently.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfQllASPX
"Katherine," he said softly.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl0XsZ1OqI
He was seeing double now.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7waDH8cDv
"I'm gonna get you out of here. You hear me?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0GnepQyGG
She put an arm around him and put his arm over her shoulders. Then she stood, making him stand the best he could. Then she walked with him, half dragging him, using her body weight to hold him up.
Half an hour later, he lay in his bed sweating, barely conscious. Elena was seated at his bedside, wetting his face with a wet wash cloth to try and cool him down. Katherine was downstairs consorting with Klaus' only sister, Rebekah. As much as she hated her, she and Rebekah both wanted to save his life. Rebekah was more than glad to give her the cure; Klaus' blood. After she did that, Rebekah left so Klaus wouldn't wonder where she was.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aFl0XrAYO
A few minutes later, after Katherine gave him the blood, he sat up, feeling better. So everybody lived as happily as they could. After all, they had Klaus to get rid of somehow, which they didn't know how to do.
