Damon and Elena were lying on the bed, Elena’s head resting on Damon’s chest. “I believe we’ve been here before” Elena mumbled.
“Hmm” Damon confirmed. “Do you remember what you said back then?”
Elena relegated on the bed and closed her eyes. “I said I wouldn’t leave you, that I would stay with you until the very end”
Elena felt a teardrop on her head, but she didn’t look up. “Promise me you won’t leave now either”
“I promise” Elena whispered and she pinched Damon’s hand. She knew it was a lie. She knew that no matter how much medication she was taking, the cancer had already won. She could literally feel her body shutting down. Though doctor Meredith Fell really did the best she could, they had just been too late. They should’ve never listened to Bonnie.
“We still have options” Damon said hoarse. “If I give you some of my blood…”
“We’ve been through that, Damon” Elena replied, but there was no anger in her voice. “I’m not drinking your blood”
“But you could heal” Damon protested.
“According to Caroline vampire blood only heals injuries, no diseases” Elena commented.
“It’s worth a shot” Damon tried to convince her.
“No, it’s not. I won’t risk becoming a vampire” Elena refused.
Damon sat up and looked angry at his sick girlfriend. “But you will risk dying?”
“Maybe it’s just my time” Elena suggested casual.
“You’re eighteen, for crying out loud!” Damon exclaimed. He got off the bed. “You’re selfish, do you know that? I know it must be hard to hear this from me, the most selfish person on the planet, but right now you’re selfish. You have a fair chance to conquer this. Your brother needs you, your friends need you…I need you. All it takes is for you to accept my blood, but you’d rather die. Why is that, exactly?”
Elena had started crying during Damon’s outburst. The medication made her extra emotional.
“Is it so hard for you to understand I don’t want to be a vampire? That maybe one day I want to have a family, grow old with the man I love?”
“None of those things is going to happen, if you’re dead, Elena!” Damon snarled. “And exactly how were you planning to have a family? I can’t make babies! Are you going to hump into bed with Matt so he can loan you his seed?”
Elena slapped him hard in the face.
“I’m not drinking your blood, Damon” she replied soft, but determined.
“Fine” Damon grunted and he walked towards the door. “I’ll go find myself a stake. If you can’t see a reason to live, then I can’t either. I’m not spending an eternity without you”
“Hmm” Damon confirmed. “Do you remember what you said back then?”
Elena relegated on the bed and closed her eyes. “I said I wouldn’t leave you, that I would stay with you until the very end”

The next morning
Damon and Elena were lying asleep when someone rang the bell. Elena was fast asleep, so Damon sneaked out of bed and put on his pants from the day before.
“Hurry up, Damon. You don’t want her to bleed to death, do you?”
Damon groaned as he recognized Rebekah’s voice. He walked to the door and opened it and Katherine fell in his arms. She was bleeding from her neck and Damon looked up shocked at the blonde Original, who smirked at him.
“What happened to her?” Damon wanted to know.
“I happened” Elijah answered, stepping forward. “Can we come in?”
“No!” Damon said rude.
“I was merely being polite. Of course we can come in. This house is being hosted by vampires, whom cannot possible deny the admission to an Original. So, why don’t you step aside? We’ve got things to do, plans to make, wars to prepare” Elijah said as he walked past Damon.

They heard the door close and wondered who came barging in, until a familiar, female and British voice solved the mystery.
“Anyone home?” Rebekah called from downstairs.
“Ugh” Damon sighed. “I’ll go” He stood up and walked to the door, but when he wanted to open it, the door was slammed in his face and Rebekah barged in. She held a guy in her right hand and a blood bag in her left hand.
“What are you doing here?” Elena asked tired.
“I came to apologize” Rebekah explained flighty, while she tossed the bag to Damon. “I was wrong to bite you. It’s just that I busted Stefan smooching with that vamp strumpet and you look like her, so I got carried away. I don’t understand what it is that draws Stefan to women with your appearances. You’re not even that pretty”
“I appreciate your honesty” Elena commented sarcastically.
“Hey, I’m as open as your legs were last night” Rebekah replied blunt and Elena’s cheeks turned red.

Being a fan of the show, I was really excited when I found out that it was based on a book series!
Previously I had no idea.
After reading them I am convinced that they are even better than the TV show--so much more info on all of the characters.
I am also a big vampire buff and have read a lot of vampire fic--twilight does not compare.
There are currently 10 novels in the series (I have only read the first 4. But I really recommend fans to check them out!
1.1 The Awakening
1.2 The Struggle
1.3 The Fury
1.4 Dark Reunion
1.5 The Return: Nightfall
1.6 The Return: Shadow Souls
1.7 The Return: Midnight
1.8 The Hunters: Phantom
1.9 The Hunters: Moonsong
1.10 The Hunters: Destiny Rising

The Hospital
The door of the examination room slammed open and doctor Fell looked up. “Would you mind waiting outside, please?”she said annoyed.
Tyler ignored her and walked straight to the bed.
“How are you feeling?” he asked worried.
“I’m okay” Veronica said. “Doctor Fell gave me a miracle drug. I’m as good as new”
Meredith shot her a warning glance.
“How did you know where I was?” Veronica wondered.
“Rachel told me” Tyler explained. “She told me Rebekah attacked you”
Veronica shook her head. “Actually it was Stefan” she said.
“Why would Stefan want to hurt you?” Tyler asked skeptic. “He doesn’t even know you”
“Neither does Rebekah” Veronica shrugged. “They know. They know that we’re going to try and take them down. We’re going to have to move fast”
“No, what you need to do is stay away from Rebekah” Tyler said. “I mean it, Ronnie, she’s dangerous”
“So am I” Veronica said sharp.
