After writing for Klaus to show up I called everyone that knew about the sacrifice to the boarding house – Matt and Vicky stayed out of it. They decided to move out of Mystic Falls. They said they needed to move on, and Vicky is going to college soon and their mom is MIA. So they decided to move. They're packing now. So I don't want to involve them in the drama that will keep them here (they really need a fresh start – but that doesn't mean they're cutting ties, because I threaten both into calling me at least once a week.).

So now everyone – Care, Jen, Jer, Steffy, Enzo, Ty, Dames, and Rick (cause I told him everything) – is sitting in Salvatore's living room looking at me expectantly.

"What?" I ask them.

"You called us here, Ellie," Ty says with confusion.

"You said it was important." Jer nods and I sigh.

"Right. I solved all our problems!" I grin at them.

"So you're not dying?" Jenna asks me.

"Well, technically I am." I say, "BUT I'm coming back."

"How?" Alaric then asks.

"A gift from a God." I grin.

"Which one?" Stef asks.

"The God of Death, Stefanie."

"The God of Death is bringing you to life?" Enzo asks.

"Well yes. He decided he didn't want me to die or some shit. Honestly, I'm just grateful." I smile at them.

"And you're sure this is going to work?" Care asks.

"Of course I'm sure. I know Thanatos, he wouldn't do anything half-assed." I tell them.

"This is great!" Caroline squeals. And after many hugs and 'I'm glad you're not dying' everyone left. Except for Damon. He was just sitting on a couch opposite to me looking into the beyond. I waited a few moments and when he didn't say anything I stood up and started making my way to the door.

"I'm sorry." I finally hear Damon say and I turn to him, "I'm sorry I didn't trust you." When I didn't say anything and just looked at him he sighed, runs a hand through his hair, and stood up coming closer to me, "I just... I love you and I couldn't let you die. Much less be there to watch it. I can't lose you. But I should've trusted you. You know what you're doing. I'm sorry El."

"It's fine Day. You don't need to apologize. And honestly, I didn't know what I was doing." I chuckle and then I noticed how close we were standing and looked into his eyes, "Everything is going to be fine, I just need to..." I trail off bringing both my hands to the side of his face smashing my lips to his. He's taken aback at first but soon starts to kiss me back his hands coming rest at my hips. The tingling feeling from his fingers making me shiver. He puts pressure on my hips backing me into the wall without breaking the kiss. My back crashes into it but I don't even notice the pain instead I moan into his lips my hands now on his hair. As his hands go up and underneath my shirt I arched back in pleasure and pull away from the kiss to take a breather, meanwhile he starts kissing me down my neck tugging on my t-shirt signaling me to take it off. But that's when I stop him and pull away.

"What's wrong?" He asks breathlessly.

"I just, can we take this to your room? I don't want interruptions." I tell him biting my lower lip and he smirks at me and kisses me again.

"Whatever you want Ellie," He whispers against my lips and I apparate us to his room. Squealing as he throws me on the bed as soon as we get there. He hovers above me looking at me intently taking me in and I guess being a creep. Having enough of that I grab his collar and push him down to my lips. Between kisses, he takes his shirt off as I take mine. From then on my mind went blank at the pleasure.

I woke up confused. I mean I wasn't in my bedroom. I was laying on a chest. Oh... As my memories started flooding back I smile happily and sigh. Then I look up and see Damon still sleeping with a hand behind his head. I look at him and he looks so cute! After appreciating his cuteness I sit up with the sheets to my chest as I notice I am butt naked. Then I look around for my clothes and they're just scattered around. Not having the patience to stand up I conjure some panties, a bra, and one of Day's t-shirts. As I am pulling the t-shirt to cover myself up after putting on my underwear I feel a pair of arms grabbing me from behind and pulling me back. I squeal as I hit Day's chest and he buries his face in my neck.

"You weren't leaving were you?" He asks huskily with his morning voice. I'm so fangirling right now! I sit up and look at him with a grin.

"No, I wasn't," I tell him.

"Good." He says as he props himself on his elbows and kisses me. "But you know... I much prefer you naked." He smirks and I smack his head.

"Well, suck it up." Then I sigh.

"What?"

"What, what?" I ask him.

"You sighed. What's wrong?" He asks.

"Uh... What are we?" I ask him and he looks me in the eyes.

"What do you want us to be?" The slimy git turns this on me.

"I have no fucking idea. I'm not good at labeling..." I frown, "Do we need a label?"

"No..." Damon shakes his head, "We're just two people who have sex together." He smirks.

"Does that mean I get to have sex with other people?" I smirk back and scowls.

"Ok, two people who have sex together. Exclusively." He says.

"But the Mikaelsons are coming." I protest. I'm just mocking him... partially.

"Seriously? You want to have sex with the Mikaelsons after what we did last night?" He asks me bewildered.

"Not all of them..." I say and he looks even more livid and that's when I start laughing, "Calm down Day. I'm only having sex with you."

"You better be." He says and then kisses me. "You know, we could be dating."

"What about 'no labels'?" I ask him with a grin.

"That went out the window when you suggested having sex with other people." He tells me and I sigh dramatically.

"How about we're not official but exclusive anyway? I don't really like serious commitment in the beginning. Or dating for that matter." I say and he chuckles. "Do we have to go on dates?"

"You don't like dates?" He asks confused.

"Not the normal ones I don't. I like to hang outs. Maybe dinner or two but more chilling together you know." I tell him, "That and sex." I smirk.

"I'm not opposed to either of those things." He says. "Now please explain the 'I don't like dating situation'."

"Urgh... Is just that... I don't know. I don't commit easily." I shrug.

"Should I be worried about you cheating on me?" He smirks amused.

"No." I reply instantly, "I hate cheaters. If I want to sleep with someone else or if I'm having doubts, I'll just tell you." He laughs at this and pecks me on the lip, "But I'm also not like the OG Elena."

"What do you mean?" He asks confused.

"She started dating Steffy like two days after they met." I grimace, "She didn't even know him."

"She sounds..."

"I think she's a self-centered bitch. But who am I to talk?" I say and he laughs.

"What do you want to do today?"

"Uh... Let's go swimming!" I tell him happily.

"In the lake?" He asks me confused but amused at my cheeriness.

"No." I tell him in a 'Duh' tone, "To the beach!"

"El, there are no beaches around here." He tells me.

"Duh. That's why we're going to the Maldives!" I grin. "I'll apparate us there. Do you have a swimming suit?"

"I do." He nods, "Can we eat first though?"

"Of course! Can you make pancakes?" I ask with puppy eyes. He laughs and nods then stands up and starts to get dressed. As I go downstairs to find Stefanie on a couch looking into the abyss.

"What's wrong Steffy?" I ask him and he breaks out of his trance and looks at me.

"Uh... I- What are you doing here?" He asks me as he takes in my outfit.

"I thought it was obvious Stef. I'm not explaining it to you." I frown and he grimaces.

"You don't need to either." He says and I laugh as plop myself next to him on the couch.

"What's wrong Stefanie?"

"I- Uh. It's about Caroline." He sighs and I frown.

"What about Caroline?"

He looks like he's going to say something but then shakes his head and says instead, "Forget it. I'm just overthinking. What are you doing today?"

"I'm going to the beach! In the Maldives!"

"You are? Alone?" He asks.

"Day is coming with me." I grin, "But one of these days you and I will take a trip. We'll be like bros in a voyage or some shit."

"That would be great El," He smiles.

"Maybe a trip to get rid of your broodiness. We could stop in some monastery to see if some monks can cleanse you. Or we should go to Carnival in Brazil put you in a costume and in a car where you're going to samba. Or we could go to an amusement park and you could ride the rides until you throw up your broodiness and whatnot. Or-"

"I get the idea El," He laughs.

"Fine. By the way, Stef, I need you to give me Sexy Lexi's number. I miss her." I tell him and he nods and chuckles.

"I'm making pancakes," Damon says as he appears in the living room.

"Great, I'm starving." I grin at him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." He smiles, "Do you want some Stef?"

"Uh- no thanks. I'm going to go see Caroline she asked me to help her with something."

"Ok," Damon answers and goes to the kitchen.

"You two seem happy." Stefan grins.

"We are." I grin back.

After Stefan left to go see Caroline (is something up with them?....hmmm) I went to the kitchen and sat down on a stool on the kitchen island as I watched Damon cook.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask him and he nods and hums in response, "It's not question is more of statement..."

"What is it El?" He asks without turning.

"I need to do two things today. Do you want to go with me?"

"Weren't we going to the beach?" He asks as he looks at me over his shoulder.

"We are. I was thinking after that. I need to get two more tattoos and kill a guy."

He laughs, "What tattoos are you getting?"

"Something to represent Nyx and Thanatos," I say.

"Where will those tattoos be?" He asks and I can hear him smirk as he's putting the plates and decorating them.

"I was thinking on my hip and my ribcage." I tell him, "What do you think?"

"Approved." He grins as he turns around and hands me one of the plates. The pancakes look just like those he and Bonnie made in the prison world. The Prison World!

"I just remembered something," I say.

"What? And by the way, who did you want to kill?" He asks.

"Oh, Professor Shane. He's this really shady guy who's a manipulator and wants to free this guy who looks exactly like Stefanie and is dangerous. And I remembered we should free Kai from the prison world."

"Back up a bit. Another Stefan?" He asks.

"Not exactly. Stefan is this guy's doppelganger."

"Stefan's a doppelgänger." He asks and I nod.

"Yup. Of this guy named Silas. I'm the doppel of a girl named Amara. They were the first ones of us." I say, "There's a curse on doppels that makes them feel a pull to each other for some reason I can't now remember."

"Did you feel a pull to Stefan?" Damon asks and I shake my head.

"God, no. I think because I'm not really Elena I'm immune to it." I shrug. "Anyway, we have to kill this guy. It's going to save us a lot of trouble."

"Perfect. What about this prison world?" He asks.

"You and Bon-Bon were supposed to get trapped there later on. There's this guy, Kai, who's trapped in there." I say.

"Wait. It's a prison world. Doesn't that mean he's bad?" He asks me and I give him a blank look.

"Look who's talking." I scoff, "Fine, he's a sociopath with an addiction to killing. But I mean you like killing too. Besides he's a lot of fun." I grin.

"Should I be jealous?" He asks.

"Maybe..." I smirk and when I see him scowl I crack a grin, "Don't worry Damon. I just want to be friends with him."

"Fine... When are you going to free him?" He asks.

"I don't know... After everything with Klaus, I think." I tell him and he nods. "Anyway, let's go to the beach!" I squeal and he laughs. After that, we got ready and apparated to the Maldives to a little desert island. We spent the day in the water or sunbathing in the sand. It was really fun. When we came back we went to a tattoo parlor and I got my two tattoos (vervain-less this time – I already have two of those). I got the outline of a moon on my right hipbone and the word 'morte' (means death in Portuguese) on my ribcage, under my left boob. They look really cool. After that, I and Day tracked Shady pants down and killed him. When we came back to the boarding house we were exhausted so as soon as we hit the bed (I'm sleeping over again) we passed out.
