Elena couldn't explain it. The new guy was cute enough, she supposed. But there was something about him that rubbed her the wrong way. Something about the way he acted that made her think that he was not as nice as he pretended to be. Now, sitting in the cemetery, scribbling in her journal, she suddenly noticed the time.

"Crap." She hadn't meant to spend that long there. Standing up to go, she bumped right into Stefan Salvatore. And he was staring at her, even as he bent to pick up the journal she'd dropped. Skin crawled. "...I...What are you doing here? Please...just leave me alone." She leaned forward, snatching the journal from his hands. And, while Stefan offered a calm explanation that he'd just been visiting family members buried there, Elena didn't believe it. Way too coincidental.

"You're a stalker." She advised. "And it's creepy."

	Damon was hiding in the shadows, watching the scene unfold, his vampire hearing picking up every word that Elena was saying. And he couldn't help but smirk at how well this was working out for him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Stefan stood in awe, staring at Elena. This wasn't the girl he had observed all these months. She brushed by him, intent on leaving and her foot caught a root. She may have been able to catch herself, or she might have stumbled or fallen. Stefan didn't take that chance, arms shooting out to catch her.

For a moment, she was in his arms, caught before she'd hit the ground and then Elena was scrambling up, pushing Stefan away and slapping him. "Just stop, okay? I said no."

	Damon bent over, laughing. Oh, this was way too much fun. He stepped out of the shadows. "Hello, Elena," he said. "Come on, little cheerleader, lets get away from the big bad Stefan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His head had snapped to one side at the slap, but before he could say anything, a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. "...Damon." He should have known. Of course his brother would be behind this. Eyes followed Elena as she moved to Damon's side, appearing relieved. "What did you do to her?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I just give her a run down on how creepy you're being, following her around like a lost little puppy. It's pretty pathetic, and creepy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I just wanted to make sure she wasn't Katherine," Stefan answered. "And she's not. She's a much better person." And she deserved to be happy. "Damon..." Elena didn't like this at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's okay, Elena. We're going to go aware from the big bad Stefan right now," he said, talking to her like he would a five year old. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stefan stepped forward then, gaze focused solely on Damon. This wasn't right. "She's not a doll for you to play with Damon. Whatever you've done, stop it now." It was more than just telling her, he got the feeling. Especially from the way Damon was talking to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," voice was firm. "She's a human being Damon. She has her own mind. She can make her own decisions. In a flash, Stefan had blurred forward, knocking Damon back into a tree trunk. Forearm settled against his throat, eyes dark, veins popping out. "I won't let you do this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Damon grabbed Stefan's throat and pushed him back. "I'm stronger that you Stefan, remember. The bunny diet doesn't really cut it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He went flying into a tombstone, hitting it with a soft oomph.

"I won't let you do this," he repeated, pushing himself up.

Elena had gasped softly as Stefan pinned Damon. She shouldn't have worried. Damon could take care of himself. But a Stefan spoke again, she moved forward, one hand reaching out to rest on Damon's arm.

"Can we go?" She questioned, eyes worried. "Just...leave him."

	"Of course," Elena nodded effortlessly. Of course she trusted him, far more than the weirdo on the ground in front of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arms wound around him, Elena hiding her face against his chest until they stopped. And when she lifted her head, they were far away from the cemetery, and Stefan. "I don't like him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're stronger than him," Elena answered, looking up at him with complete confidence. He would keep Stefan away from her. "Why is he so obsessed with me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nodding, Elena's arms tightened around him, drawing some comfort from him. "He is very creepy," she agreed. "But I'm safe with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
