Elena found herself pulled tightly back against Damon, his arms around her neck. She gasped softly, frightened eyes meeting Stefan's as her hands moved up, resting on Damon's arms. As scared as she was, Stefan spoke, then, and she hoped she was right. Damon wouldn't kill her.

Frozen in place, she risked glance back at him, her head barely moving. She hoped he wouldn't....but the look of heartbreak on his face when he'd found out she misled him... She'd rarely felt so ashamed.

	Damon couldn't believe that Elena had done that. She was.... someone who he had actually decided to trust and to have her play him like that... well, it stung. "Well, lets make things easier. I'm going to give you an incentive to give me what I want, Stefan," he said. And then within the blink of an eye, he had disappeared, along with Elena. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	In the next moment, they were at his car, Elena struggling to keep from being pushed in. Even if she knew it was futile. "...Damon, please..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just stop talking Elena and get in the car," he said. He was done trusting people. All he wanted was Katherine back. "Stupid me, letting my guard down. Well you know what they say Elena. Fool me once, shame on you. There won't be a shame on me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cheeks burned as she slid in, blinking back tears. "...I'm sorry." And she meant it, too. If she'd been able to think of any other way... Not that it mattered to him. "Where are we going?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_damon 2014-03-21 01:21 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, right. You're so sorry, Elena," he said, clearly not believing a word that she said. "And stop asking questions like you think I'll answer them." He got into the driver side and pulled out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I couldn't let you release all of those vampires," she answered, voice soft as she looked toward him. "It wasn't to spite you, Damon." I wouldn't have done it if I could have thought of any other way. I didn't like it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And just like that, all is forgiven. Never mind that I only wanted Katherine back, never mind that I actually trusted you, the first person I've allowed myself to trust in decades. You played me like a fool Elena. What is it? Only you and Stefan are allowed to be happy with your perfect relationship, that you can't stand the idea that someone else might get some happiness too? Or is it just me? Do I not deserve to be happy? Do I not deserve to be loved? Just because you and Stefan clearly don't, maybe you can't fathom that someone might actually care about me."

	"Of course someone could care about you. It's not that hard to imagine." She cared for him, though he wouldn't believe it right then. Arms crossed, her head ducking. "I don't expect your forgiveness, Damon...I don't deserve it. But I wanted you to know how much I regret it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, regret doesn't fix my problem," he said. "All I wanted was to get Katherine out of that tomb, and leave town. You and Stefan wouldn't have to deal with pretending to give a shit any longer. I'd be out of your lives for good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't pretend," she answered quietly, still not looking directly at him. "You shut out a lot of people, Damon. ...I was never one of them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A nod. "I know I hurt you. I won't ask you to trust me again....or even like me." She'd take all of his criticisms...because there wasn't much she could say to argue the fact. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It doesn't matter to me anymore, Elena. Nothing matters but getting Katherine out of that tomb. You, Stefan, I'm done trying to play nicely, because when I do, it comes back to bite me in the ass. So why bother?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2014-03-21 01:51 am UTC (link)
	She didn't have an answer for that. He wasn't really expecting one, truth be told. Instead she nodded. "So I'm your leverage. I'm the way you guarantee the Grimmoire and Katherine. ...what if he doesn't give you what you want?" Would he kill her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you think that Stefan won't do whatever it takes to get you back, then you clearly don't know him as well as you think you do. When you love someone.... it can blind you to logic and reason. You'll do whatever it takes to get them back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was right, she knew. "Like you would for Katherine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm not asking you to," she answered. And if he needed that reassurance... Her hands stretched up, unclasping her necklace. And, though her eyes were scared still, she reached out. Her hands took one of his, putting the necklace into it, closing his fingers over it before her hands pulled back. Vervain free.

Eyes met his once more. "Where are we going?" She questioned again, voice soft.

	She should have seen that one coming. Hesitating a moment, she pushed her shirt sleeve up, offering her wrist. "Taste." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He glanced over at her. "I'm not going to bite you," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2014-03-22 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	She'd hurt him, and she'd do whatever she could to rectify that situation. "You don't trust me," Elena answered simply. "I haven't been drinking vervain, but you won't believe me if I just say so." Her hand remained raised, offered up to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
