It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNC1UyH34C
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcTQNz5bfX
"Georgia," I reply.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonTv62KAQr
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXPrQ3XTcJ
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GYr6TW35w
"No can do," I reply to her.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTTAaIbMVC
"Damon," she warns me.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgl3tk2xQG
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDC1O8jmtu
"Hello, Stefan."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFkVZ5RwuK
"Damon, where's Elena?"562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnl9nZqKPI
"Right here."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81xNow9ut2
"Bring her home," he orders.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpFV4sNfxB
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ZtCJBhAz
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1vm15LJ3F
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wJSe5lryP
I look into her eyes.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTP327utj8
"Are you okay?" I ask.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky58xCVayo
"I'm fine."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgleRBC9g6v
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HjNLWeE4b
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ICzO06HN
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrP8rWGV1m
I look up at him.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sd61y7f7R
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxhdEobwG
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71zDg1JUzF
"You're going to pay," he tells me.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2gj4zIiO
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZvpgCYa8B
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.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5UaY7OpV
"I saved your life," she announces.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9csLE9FDkR
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
