It's a beautiful day in Georgia, as I drive my car. Elena is in the passenger seat.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57mQv8uJrj
When Elena awakes, she realizes we're not in Mystic Falls anymore, because she asks me, "Where are we?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlsgehdQAY
"Georgia," I reply.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD36btBMhg
"Take me back to Mystic Falls, Damon," she orders.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT5M3mU6eU
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYCcieXhvz
"No can do," I reply to her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx1I8ZUMyj
"Damon," she warns me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gImCKNgvF
Her phone goes off and I take it from her. It's Stefan, so I answer it, while driving.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd12KUOSg5
"Hello, Stefan."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPTE4PTwNg
"Damon, where's Elena?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWfTi5riJJ
"Right here."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzaEJYflaf
"Bring her home," he orders.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzoOaw9Lsu
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqy7nu51vc
I hang up on him and give the phone back to her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqjr2J1v3X
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Bibj9A1o
I look into her eyes.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7WR3eQlfs
"Are you okay?" I ask.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8ZubJqeI
"I'm fine."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTh68jSSkR
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEH7wciScN
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gEMU8aJP
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSUJ0jUvWb
I look up at him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYTwYVDh9u
"You killed my girlfriend," he tells me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQPRE1bvta
"Oh, yeah. She was delicious," I reply through the pain. Then he throws gasoline all over me, before lighting a match.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMriBHAdZAf
"You're going to pay," he tells me.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIxemVUoIy
Before he can throw it down, Elena stands a distance behind him and says, "Please."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSoSLjwyck
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.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhlCueI7lu
"I saved your life," she announces.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgBrGHKC5
"I know," I reply with a smirk.
"And don't you forget it," she replies to me.
