It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipMa5uMbHK
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzTSKg0IYF
"Georgia," I reply.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqINwLGGCsN
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DuwZBQmzJ
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EDUccIH0L
"No can do," I reply to her.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnF6b3G6V
"Damon," she warns me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcEQ1nhQe3
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgoXVNU0hn
"Hello, Stefan."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPQr9GIy0o
"Damon, where's Elena?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0QlcJz1tY
"Right here."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SH61RFZoG
"Bring her home," he orders.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH0oRSZKQG
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9sXO35g76
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zxX42dVQl
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uf0TaRWk
I look into her eyes.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73X7aeveSI
"Are you okay?" I ask.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAFxiqK0H3
"I'm fine."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGytXAJ9yqE
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZpNlTDnvA
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HiuXuTJ4e
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSDF7T26Sh
I look up at him.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeukqOyRdyq
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ4AMlBhc6
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ktpJcnLy
"You're going to pay," he tells me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C7qPZXK5Z
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLCAOh3pv
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXfB6WiMoS
"I saved your life," she announces.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFcVOepged
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
