Police cars were parked in front of the hospital in such way they wouldn’t block the ambulances driving in.
“I’m going in” sheriff Forbes said. She had been informed about who the target was and knowing Damon’s a vampire she decided it best to have a chat with him herself.
“What the hell?” Elena said from inside the car. “What are all these people doing here?”
“They don’t know about Damon” Stefan said. “They must think he’s just some lunatic who’s lost it”
Elena saw how Liz put something in her inside pocket. “She has a stake” she said scared. “She’ll try to kill him” She opened the door, got out of the car and ran in the direction of the hospital.
But a couple of yards away from it she was being stopped by one of the sheriff’s deputies. “You can’t go in there”
Elena looked inside and back at the deputy. “You can’t let her do that” she said, at the brink of tears. “You can’t let her kill him…Please, I know him. I can talk to him”
“I can’t let you walk in there. It’s too dangerous” the deputy said.
“He’s not going to hurt me” Elena said. “And even if he would, I know how to defend myself”
“I’m going to get fired over this” the deputy said and he let her pass. Stefan wanted to follow, but this time the deputy wasn’t willing to give in. “Not you, only she”
Elena ran through the hospital. A boy lie on a hospital bed with a bandage around his neck. She ran further until she reached the ICU. She opened the door.
“Damon?” she said careful to Damon’s back. He didn’t answer and so Elena walked to him. She saw Liz lying in a corner. Apparently Damon had knocked her down.
“Damon, let go of her” Elena said trembling. Damon ignored her. “She should’ve been dead by now” he mumbled. “Why won’t she die?”
“You don’t want to do this” Elena carried on. “You will never forgive yourself”
“She’s getting help from her dead witch family” Damon said tensed. “It’s the only logical explanation”
“Damon, listen to me!” Elena raised her voice. “I don’t want you to kill her. I understand your pain, but don’t make things any worse. I couldn’t live with that and neither could you”
“She has to die. She’s not immortal” Damon said agitated. He looked at Bonnies face. “Just fucking die already! Bitch!” he slapped her. He pulled out all the threads connected to the machines, but her heart still beat. He turned at Elena and looked at her like he only saw her now. “I can’t kill her”
He sank down on the ground and tears rolled over his eyes. Elena sank down next to him and lay his head on her shoulders.
“It’s okay” she said, caressing his hair. “Everything’s going to be okay”
