It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwmY2J5kXD
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YKOF1Tpkf
"Georgia," I reply.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZE9LRXupT
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANkZACWcc
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu14UNZbZJ
"No can do," I reply to her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI7wVO5Mw2
"Damon," she warns me.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9h6WzOYx
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6GPJY21gp
"Hello, Stefan."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CfqujNrqu
"Damon, where's Elena?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEj8GCcoPO
"Right here."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsRVUxaXO
"Bring her home," he orders.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu8n38MtLw
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3VMMaWvbC
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtnZRhzx7W
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrSpn196Q2
I look into her eyes.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dLaHdUN3T
"Are you okay?" I ask.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ul1YWBwD
"I'm fine."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNomj620Ypw
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCek5dB7yS
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHp8BUzM6m
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ZJmFf8Ix
I look up at him.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6XKnb0WO3
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfOErB63yU
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik3KfgxQb3
"You're going to pay," he tells me.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2r2d8xp6
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9M2rZA1l
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEWSUSdODp
"I saved your life," she announces.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWPoGBF3zR
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
