Thank you to all your reviews and to those who read the story. Just a quick note, I am sorry for not giving the proper warnings to this story. Some people found this story "molesterish" due to Damon's character. I would like to take a second to explain. This story idea came to me when I had this dream the other nice about Prince Eric of the Little Mermaid. Ever since I was little I always thought my dad was Prince Eric until he left. So this story is kind of therapeutic for me. It wasn't intended to be disgusting, just to show the relationship of Damon and Elena, what could've happened. I apologize to whomever I've offended and I did not have the intentions to do so. Thank you again for reading! :D

Chapter 4: Hello Uncle John

Elena giggled as Damon played with the stuffed animals with the girl. He barely noticed the ring at the door. He sat up and walked over. He opened the door to find a man.

"Hello, may I help?"

"Yes, I'm looking for Elena. I presumed she came here because you are the only Damon I know it town." Damon smiled.

"And who might you be?"

"I am John Gilbert, Elena's uncle. Her parents are coming home in a few days and they would like her home to welcome them."

"Sure, no problem. Please come in." Damon led John into the living room where the castle and toys were. "Elena? Your uncle is here." Elena didn't come out of the castle. "Just give me one moment." Damon crawled under the covers.

"Princess?" he whispered, "Elena what's wrong?"

"Don't let him take me. He beats me! Please don't let him take me!" Damon frowned.

"You have to go Elena. He is your family and I cannot protect you." He picked Elena up into his arms and carried her out from under the covers. He handed her to John. John smiled.

"Thank you," he turned to Elena, "Hello angel. How are you?" Elena cried into his shoulder.

"I want Damon." John walked up to Damon so that the girl was face to face with the man.

"Well say bye to Damon because we have to leave."

"No." John pressed the needle of vervain into Damon's skin. Damon could hear Elena screaming in the background. "DAMON! You promised! You promised!"

Damon blacked out before anything else could happen.

The next time Damon opened his eyes, the room was dark. He saw that it was night time. The last he remembered was John coming to take Elena. Elena! Damon dashed out the door and was at the Gilbert's house before any more time was wasted. He climbed up to Elena's window and watched as John beat the little girl.

"You little bitch! How many times do I tell you not to run? And you went to an old man? He could have raped you!"

"No! He is Damon! He is my prince and never has or would hurt me! You hurt me! That's why I ran!" Elena received a slap. The tears slid down her face at the pain. "Damon!" She cried as John stood over her on the floor.

"Will you shut up about Damon! He doesn't love you! And he is a vampire! He murders people!" He took a few breaths. "You are grounded, and I hope to find you in the morning." John walked out and went to bed for the evening. Damon tapped slightly on the window glass. Elena got up off the floor and rushed over to the window.

"Damon!" She lifted the window and Damon climbed in.

"Shh, you have to be quiet or you will wake John." Elena nodded and hugged Damon tight.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too. Now lets get you cleaned up in the bathroom." Damon walked the little girl into her bathroom and helped her clean her cuts. When he was finished he went and got the girl proper pajamas and left her to change. Elena walked out in her nightshirt and climbed into bed. Damon stood at the foot.

"Aren't you going to lay with me?"

"I should probably go. If John finds me I could get into real trouble and I don't want you to get hurt." Elena patted the bed.

"Please Damon! I won't get to see you once my parents come home!"

"Okay, okay just this once!" Elena smiled and moved over in the bed to make room for Damon. She cuddled up to his side to listen to his heart beat.

"I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too. Now get some sleep." Elena nodded.

"I love you Prince Damon." Damon smiled and watched the girl fall asleep.

"I love you too Elena Gilbert."

Elena woke up the next morning to an empty bed and she frowned when John walked in. "Glad to see your still here. Now get ready, your parents are coming home." Elena nodded. Damon waited until the door was closed to come out of the closet.

"Elena?" He whispered. The little girl looked over at him happily and ran over to the closet. "Elena you have to do me a favor."

"What is it Damon?" She whispered back, looking deeply into his eyes.

"Tell your parents about your uncle's abuse." He compelled her.

"I will tell my parents about my uncle's abuse."

"I love you and I'll be back later." Elena nodded and got ready for her parents to get ready.

Elena stood happily waiting for her parents in her blue sundress. Her hair was clipped on the side with butterfly pins and she wore little blue sandals. When the door opened Elena rushed over to it eagerly. "Momma, Pappa!" She hugged them tightly and they smiled.

"You look so beautiful Elena. Did you get dressed all by yourself?"

"Yes!" She smiled wide and her parents continued to walk through the door. John walked over and shook their hands.

"Did you have a nice trip?"

"Oh yes it was fabulous." Elena yanked on her father's pant leg.

"Pappa?" Mr. Gilbert squats down to face the little girl.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"I got to tell you something." Mrs. Gilbert's face grew concern and she knelt down next to her husband.

"What is it hunny?"

"Uncle John hurts me. All the time. When I'm alone in my room, when I'm bad, when I'm good. He even took me away from my friend Damon's house." Mr. Gilbert stood up.

"John, is this true?" John looked so angry and Elena was afraid.

"No man. You know your daughter has such an incredible imagination. She is just making it up. And she was over some older man's house." Mr. Gilbert looked down.

"Elena is this true?"

"Well Damon is yes. I went there because John was hurting me and Damon didn't hurt me. Look I'll show you the scars!" Elena pulled off the bandage to show the parents. Then without anyone's notice, pulled up her dress to reveal the black and blue marks. Mrs. Gilbert started to cry at the sight of her daughter.

"My baby!" Mr. Gilbert was furious and chased John out of the house. "You will be okay darling don't worry." Elena hugged her parents happily.

On the road, John was walking, not paying attention the people around him.

"Hello John." John looked up to see Damon.

"What the-?"

"Now now John. You listen to me. You will get out of Mystic Falls and NEVER return. Understand?" Damon compelled.

"I will not return to Mystic Falls." John responded back. John blinked his eyes and Damon was gone.

"You are an amazing girl, Elena. We love you very much. Sweet dreams baby."

"Good night mommy and daddy."

"Good night sweetheart." Elena cuddled into the blanket happily.

"Elena?" Elena looked over to see Damon at the window smiling.

"Damon! I can't believe it! I told my parents about John and they believed me!" Damon smiled.

"That's great princess but it is time for me to go." Elena frowned.

"What? Why?"

"Because I need to go on my own business trip." Elena started to cry.

"You can't leave me! I thought you loved me and would never leave! You promised!"

"I do love you Elena and in a few years you will understand."

"No, I'm going to miss you!" Damon shook his head sadly, feeling the tears ready to fall.

"Now lay down." Elena laid down and cuddled into the covers, staring at Damon. "Now, you will forget you ever met me and that there is a prince out there who loves you and one day will find you. Forget Damon Salvatore and the past few days with him." He compelled. Elena blinked her eyes and Damon was gone. She smiled happily, falling asleep, knowing her parents were home.
