I look on to Jenna Empty Room, before sighing and closing the door one final time. I hear a shift in the wind before I turn around and face Damon. "That'll get easier. But you knew that." I nod my head before I step forward and encase Damon into a hug as he runs his hands through my curls and down my back before laying his head on top of mine. "What's wrong Damon?" I whisper my question out to him and he stiffens in my arms. "I want to apologize." My face fills with confusion before I look up into Damon's eyes. "Damon what's there to apologize for?" I question as Damon takes a step away from me. "Feeding you my blood, I was wrong." Damon says as I look up into his eyes that are filled with fear. I shake my head as I reach up and place my hand against his cheek. "It's okay. You were scared you did what you had to." I answer him as I watch his eyes close softly before leaning against my hand. "I know I don't deserve it but I need your forgiveness." I nod my head as Damon gives me a small smile before taking my hand in his and giving it a quick kiss. "I forgive you." I say softly as Damon eyes meet mine once again, and again fear shines in his eyes. "I'll always forgive you." Damon nods his head before quickly leaning down and giving my forehead a kiss. "Thank you." Damon whispers out and suddenly I'm alone in the hallway. Somethings wrong, there shouldn't be fear in his eyes. I suddenly jump into action running down the halls to pick up my bag and shoes.

Damon slowly peels of his leather jacket for the last time before making his way to the den. Quickly moving away all the bourbon in the front of the small case in the bookshelf before grabbing the one bottle he never opened before and pours himself a drink and makes his way to the glass windows on the farther wall, facing the front of the Boarding House. Damon looks down before taking a drink and setting the glass down, and closes his eyes for a brief second, scorching her face in his memory, trying to remember every detail for her smile, every sound her laugh makes, and the way her tears fall down her face when she cries. I'm ready. He says mentality before taking his right hand and reaching out to slowly take off his ring. He could hear the skin start to sizzle and burn while he does it, but he doesn't turn back. I love you, I'm sorry I can't have you see me die, I won't.

The burning starts to intensify as he opens his eyes to face the sun once again and drops the precious metal onto the wooden floor, before spreading his arms out as he finally starts to feel the fire across his skin. I'm sorry. He wants to scream out in pain, but the only sound he makes is the breathing that comes from his lips as he awaits his death. Suddenly he's flown back away from the open windows and his younger brother is on top of him. "Get off me." Damon mutters out through the pain as he glares up at the younger Salvatore. "You're not doing this." Stefan states as he speeds them across the room to the opposite wall, hanging Damon up by the collar of his shirt. "Just did." Damon states as his skin starts to look normal before Stefan speeds them down the hallway. "You know what happened to Rose, Stefan." "I don't care." Stefan states before throwing his brother into one of the many cells in the cellar, and kicking the door in front of him. Damon looks over his shoulder to Stefan from the ground. "You're not dying today." Damon turns his body to face Stefan. "What's the plan Superman?" "I'm going to find a way out of this." Stefan states through the bars of the door. "Oh, right. A miracle cure. Good luck with that one." "I got Bonnie looking for something, anything." Damon shakes his head at his younger brother. "Always the hero, Stefan. Just tell me goodbye, get it over with." Damon states before moving his body over as he starts to cough up blood on the ground. "Lie still. Conserve your strength." Stefan says as he watch painfully from the bars.

"What's wrong with him?" I question as I face Stefan after jumping out of my car. "He's dying." My eyes widen before I take a step back as my hand reaches up to block my mouth from making a painful sound. "He was bitten. He didn't want to tell you considering you just buried Jenna." I shake my head before my arms start to shake with the news as tears start to fill my eyes. Not again, please stop taking people away from me, you can't keep doing this! My mind yells out to any invisible force that looks over us. Tears start to cloud my vision before I bring my hands up to my head trying to get air through my lungs without going through a panic attack. "Stefan..there's no cure for that!" I cry out as I close my eyes and try and fight through the pain. "There might be a cure, but I have to find Klaus to get it. I'm the one that made him become a vampire in the first place, so if there's a chance for a cure I owe it to him to find it." I nod my head before yanking my car keys from my pocket as my breathing becomes heavy before turning and taking off running back to my car. Please hold on. Please don't leave me.

Damon looks through the doorway of the cell before the scene changes and he's pulled through time as he watches his wife try and pull her corset strings out. Suddenly Eliza's brown eyes make contact with his blue ones through the mirror and she gives her Husband a small smile. "Now Mr. Salvatore while I appreciate the looks you're so graciously sending your wife I would a appreciate a little help over here." He gives her a small smile, "of course Mrs. Salvatore." He says as he makes his way to his wife and sets his cap down on the dresser in front of them. Damon slowly moves Eliza curls off her left shoulder before starting to kiss the slope between her shoulder and neck. "I'll miss you while you're off defending the south." She states as Damon looks ya to meet her eyes in the mirror. "I'll miss you as well." Eliza gives him a small smile, worry written all over her face. "I hope you will hurry back. I fear the south will fall." Damon quickly turns her around to face him once more. "You know I'll always come back to you." He says as Eliza brings her hand up to his cheek and he leans towards it, basking in the comfort she brought him. "Please come back. Not in a coffin." She warns him sternly before he gives her a smile and leans down to connect their lips together in basked passion trying to silence her worries. Before anything could happen further Damon awakes in his cell once more, he quickly scans the cell for Eliza before coming up empty. He slowly pulls up his left arm showcasing his bite mark to the dim lighting.

I quickly stop my car before jumping out and start to run to the door before my arms are held back and my mouth is covered. "Don't make a sound." My face fills with confusion as Sheriff Forbes looks me in the eyes before I look over her shoulder at the four other deputies behind her. I start to yell out hoping and noise would alert Damon. One of the deputies start to drag me towards one of their cars parked all across the driveway.

Damon stubbles around the town square holding onto his stomach as he hacks before he pauses to see his life standing in front of him. Facing away from the screen playing gone with the wind behind them. Her purple dress shines in the light as Damon looks up to her. "Eliza?" "Damon?" Jeremy asks as he spots the vampire not to far in front of him. "Where Eliza? I need to see Eliza now." Damon states as he starts to sway from the toxins in his body. "Ok. Let's get you out of here first, all right?" Jeremy questions as he quickly starts to hold Damon up before trying to make their way out of the park.

I watch as the door opens up to the police department as Liz makes her way in. "Where's Damon?" I demand as she gets close to me. "What have you done with him?" "Why do you even care? You know what they are, what they do." I take a breath trying to control my panic attack as anger tries to take over me. "Look, I understand why you hate them, but you're wrong." "They're murderers Eliza. End of story." I shake my head at the woman before turning at the sound of a knock on the door as I put my hands on my head trying to get more air to go through my lungs. "Damon Salvatore was just spotted outside entering the grill." I look over before placing my hand on Liz's arm. "He's sick. You have to let me come with you. Please." I beg as the tears I've been holding in start to steam down my cheeks as Liz looks into my eyes. "Keep her here." "No!" I yell out as they shut the door before locking it. I start to pound in the door before starting to suffocate. I run my hands through my hair, tugging and pulling at the strands before dropping to my knees. No. Please no I can't lose him, I won't. He's all I've got! I yell into my head before quickly grabbing the chair closest to me and throwing it through the window and jumping out of the building before taking off.

My breaths start to come out uneven as my panic attack seizes my air way as my knees give up on me and I end up on my hands in knees in the town square. I sob out as I clutch my heart through my shirt desperately trying to claw it out. "Eliza" My scratching stops before I look up and spot Damon not to far in front of me, sweating profusely as he looks around in confusion. "Damon." I stutter out before launching myself off the ground and make my way to him. "We ...we need to get you out of here. We have to hide you." I wheeze out as I grab Damon's right arm and sling it over my shoulder trying to breath in and out without altering him. "Where are we going?" Damon asks as I start trying to lead him away before he falls on his keens. "Hey. Hey." I say softly as I move his dark locks away from his eyes as he looks at me. Suddenly Damon slams me up against the nearest light pool as he stares at me, almost as if he's not really seeing me. "I choose you Eliza." I slowly bend myself so I can look into his eyes once more. "Look at me. It's Eliza Damon." I say as Damon starts to lean in closer to me. "Promise me you won't tell my brother?" He questions me before leaning down and his gets start to turn blood red. "I have to in order for us to be together." He states before his fangs attach themselves to my neck as he starts to drink. I bring out in pain as I grab his hair. "Damon you're hurting me." I squeak out before Damon turns to look at me. "Eliza." He states before releasing me and dropping to the ground in front of me on his knees. "Hey it's okay." I say as I clutch my neck before dropping onto the ground in front of him and take him into my arms as I look around for Anyone to help. "It's okay. I'm here." I whisper out as I move my free hand up and down his back.

I watch helplessly as Damon starts to breath erratically while tossing his head back and forth in pain. I quickly soak the wrap in warm eating before leaning over him. "Eliza." He whispers out as I lean over him while dropping my knees to the ground before releasing the wrag from my hands and intertwining them before closing my eyes. "I know I've never done this before and it would be selfish to ask you something during my first prayer but I need him to live. You can't take him from me you taken enough people please just thins once save him. I can't live without him, please I ..be..g you." I stutter out as I start wiping the tears from my cheeks. Damon tosses and turns his head before opening his eyes and revealing the dull hue to me. "Eliza, get out of here." He says as he unleashes another coughing fit as I sob at the very sight of blood covering his pillow.

I grab his hand quickly before leaning down and giving his forehead a kiss. "I'm not leaving you. I'm here till the end." Damon yells out in pain once again as he shuts his eyes from me trying to ride out the attack. He suddenly grabs his heart in pain before I crawl on top of the sheets as bring his head to rest against my chest as I run his dark curls through my fingers as the tears start to run into his hair. "Hang on. Please hang on. You can't leave me. It's going to be okay." I state as I run the wrag over his forehead. "It's not okay. It's not okay." I shit my eyes in pain as Damon Struggles to breath. "All this time I've blamed Stefan. It wasn't his fault, I made the decision." I shush him, taking to stall him from talking. Trying to buy us a few more minutes.

"Tell Stefan I'm sorry." I shake my head as Damon looks up to me. "No. No I won't you'll tell him yourself." I say as a sob wracks my body as i start to shake. "This is even more pitiful than I thought." I shake my head as I squeeze my eyes shut and let out a shaking breath. "There's still hope." I say as I watch him. "Please don't take him from me. Please god don't take him from me. Please." I whisper out repeatedly as I start to Rock us softly back and forth. "I've made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die." " no you do not. You may have done a lot of bad things but you can't leave me. I won't let you." Damon gives a small breathless smile.

"You would have liked me, if we had met in the 1800's." I shake my head before leaning down onto his chest, trying to make sure his heart was still beating. "I like you now just the way you are Day." Damon shakes his head as he opens his eyes to meet mine. I make a rash decision before leaning down and delivering a soft kiss to his lips, hoping beyond anything that he'll live. "I love you." He whispers out before he goes still. My eyes widen in panic before I jump from his chest and start shaking him. "Day?" I say as I continue to shake his shoulders. A sob breaks my words as I lean down to hear his slowing heart. "You can't do this to me. You promised!" I yell out, "you promised you'd always be there for me! Please don't leave me alone! I love you. You have to stay...I don't know what I'd do without you!" I yell out before I turn and see Kathrine entering the room.

"Here. Don't think me later I was just outside of town before I decided to give this to you." I launch myself off the bed before grabbing the small bottle from her hands and quickly unscrewing it before pouring it down his throat. "Please come back to me."

And that bitches concludes season 2! Now I'm going to try and sleep through my insomnia 😂
