Can't Let Go
Introduction
Elena was racing down the road with Stefan right by her side. They were running to get to Damon, someone took Damon. They finally made it to the abandoned building in the middle of Mystic Falls where Stefan traced Damon too. Stefan heard yelling inside and hew knew what was going on. Stefan bust the door open and raced inside with Elena right behind him. Stefan and Elena hid behind a wall and were able to see Damon standing there. Elena wanted to go racing to Damon and get him out of there. She loved Damon, Damon was hers and she would not let anyone hurt him.
"Stefan, why are we just standing here?" Elena whispered
"We can't just go bursting in there to save the day Elena" Stefan whispered back "I know you love Damon, but-"
Stefan was cut off mid-sentence by the sound of a gunshot. And it just kept going and going, someone was basically emptying a shot gun into Damon.
"DAMON!" Elena yelled and started running toward him
Stefan quickly grabbed Elena by her waist, pulled her back, and covered her mouth to keep her from yelling again. Elena struggled, even though she knew she was no match for Stefan's strength, she still wanted to believe that she could break free and get to Damon before he was dead. Stefan heard Damon's killers leave the building and that was when Stefan let Elena go. Elena went charging after Damon and realized then that the bullets were wooden bullets, they knew what Damon was. Elena started sobbing uncontrollably as she pulled Damon's lifeless body into her lap, he was barely alive, Elena saw the life slowly escaping his eyes.
"I love you Damon" Elena sobbed and kissed Damon on the lips one last time
"I love you too Elena" Were Damon's last words before she saw his body go completely lifeless
Elena held onto Damon and just cried her eyes out, not wanting to believe that he was truly dead. Elena found something to cut her wrist with on the floor and started trying to pour her blood down his mouth to try to save him, even though she knew it was too late.
"Elena" Stefan said and kneeled down next to her "Come on" He said and held his hand out to her
"We can't leave him here" She sobbed
"I'll come back and get his body, okay?" Stefan told Elena
Elena slowly nodded her head and gently put Damon's body back on the floor. Stefan took Damon's ring off of his finger and gave it to Elena.
"Take this…he would want you to have it" Stefan sighed
Elena nodded again, unable to form words anymore. She felt her heart breaking right inside her chest as she held Damon's ring in her hands. Elena kept letting the tears fall as she started at Damon's body, unable to look away with her blood on his lips. Stefan saw Elena's bleeding wrist and bit into his own wrist and put it in front of Elena.
"It's a deep cut Elena" Stefan said
Elena didn't protest and took Stefan's blood. She took as little as she could, just enough to heal up her wrist and then she pulled away, wiping the blood off of her lips. Elena looked down at her bracelet now, it was the bracelet she wore on her first date with Damon, she never took it off. But now, she slid the bracelet off and put it in Damon's lifeless hands and cried more as she did this. Stefan pulled her up again, keeping her from collapsing next to Damon's body, and helped her out of the building. Eventually Stefan picked her up and carried her back home. Jeremy and Jenna were in the living room when Stefan brought her inside. They knew about everything now, since Elena started dating Damon, she told them everything.
"What happened?" Jenna asked concerned and looked at her niece curled up into Stefan's chest and sobbing
"Damon…Damon was killed tonight" Stefan sighed
"…Oh my god" Jenna said shocked "Can you carry her up to her room for me?" Jenna asked Stefan
Stefan silently nodded and carried Elena upstairs as Jeremy and Jenna followed him. Stefan set Elena down on her bed and Jenna raced right to her side, holding her and telling her that everything happens for a reason. Jeremy stood in the doorway in shock. Him and Damon had become friends since he started dating Elena, and now here he was learning that Damon was now dead.
"…I'll leave you with Elena" Stefan said and looked at Jenna
"Thanks for bringing her home Stefan" Jenna said
"Your welcome" Stefan sighed "Take care of her Jeremy" Stefan said and put his hand on Jeremy's shoulder
"Yeah…I will" Jeremy said and nodded "…Thanks"
"No problem" Stefan said and walked out of the room and out of the house
Stefan walked down the street before taking off to the building where Damon's body was. He was still there, still lifeless. Stefan picked up his brother's body and as soon as he left the building, took off towards the Boarding House. He had to get the key to the family crypt before taking Damon's body down there. Just then, Stefan heard something, something whispering to him. Stefan looked back at Damon's body, nothing. He went back to searching the desk and swore he saw Damon's fingers twitch a little.
"…Impossible" Stefan said and stood over Damon's body
Damon's hand twitched again. Stefan picked up Damon's body and decided to carry him down to the basement. He locked up the body in one of the cells down there. If Damon was dead still by tomorrow night, Stefan would take his body down to the crypt. But for now, he just stood there on the other side of the door, looking at his brother, seeing his hand twitch. Stefan raced up to the fridge and brought a blood bag down and put it in the cell with Damon. If that was empty by tomorrow, he would know. Once the door was shut and locked, Stefan gave one last glance to the body, thinking he had gone insane for thinking Damon was still alive. They emptied an entire shotgun of wooden bullets into him, he's dead Stefan, Stefan thought to himself as he walked away. Stefan walked upstairs to see a blonde haired woman in his living room.
"Told you I'd kill him" She smiled
"I think he's still alive Alora" Stefan said
"That's impossible" She scoffed "I emptied an entire shotgun of wooden bullets soaked in vervain into his body, he's dead"
"…Yeah, I guess…I can't believe he's finally gone" Stefan said
"Yeah, yeah, I get it, second thoughts and all that other crap" She sighed "Now, where's the other ring you promised me for killing him?"
Stefan sighed and reached into his pocket. It wasn't Damon's ring, it was completely different. He had Bonnie charm this ring, claiming he lost his, and Bonnie trusted him enough to make another one. Stefan tossed the ring to Alora and she caught it and slipped it onto her finger and smiled a Cheshire cat smile.
"Perfect" She purred "It was nice doing business with you Stefan"
"Yeah, you too" Stefan sighed as Alora disappeared from the house
Stefan poured himself a glass off Damon's scotch and sat in front of the fire burning in the fire place. How could he do this to his own brother? Was he really that jealous? Did he really despise Damon that much, hearing Elena tell him that she loved him, did it really get to him to the point having hiring someone to kill him? Judging from him sitting alone in the house, alone and in peace, not even the sound of Damon on the phone with Elena in the house anymore, he knew the answer to his question. Jealousy really did get to him that badly.
A/N: Okay, so I know this first part may suck, but I promise it will get better! I'm just kinda introducing the story. Sorry, but Stefan is the bad guy in the story, but I promise the flashbacks in the chapters coming up will explain why! There's always a reason as to why the bad guy is the way he is, right?
Delena memories will be coming up too :] It'll be sad but romantic at the same time. Most of this story will be flashbacks from Stefan and Elena. Maybe a few from Jeremy too since him and Damon were friends in this story :] But, as it goes on, it'll be less flashbacks and more story because guilt will slowly eat Stefan alive.
So, I hope you like the story, because I'm kinda looking forward to writing this one along with my other ones :] So, I love you guys for reading this, another one of my crazy random ideas that I decided to turn into a story :P xoxo, Avril
