Elena's Despair chapter 5

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been blocked and I have school and everything. You may also think that it's weird that I haven't updated in a while and now updates for both stories in one night. I had a dream about some parts of this where Elena was dying and Damon was there so… Thanks everyone. If you're wondering why Stefan is bad in this that's just the way I wanted him to be, I don't really want to include him but I have to.

He scratches at one of the stitches, ripping it open. I shriek and he quickly puts his hand over mine. I bite his hand and he pulls it away. He looks at the vervain necklace that he gave me a while ago and pulls it off me. I feel the chain snap and he throws it onto the floor…

"Now just stay still and shut up." His voice echoes in my head… he's compelling me. I try to resist and move away from him but I can't. I can't move anything or say anything. I beg him with my eyes but all he does is laugh… Don't please, Stefan, please! I want to scream at him, get him to stop. Stefan just stares at the blood, fangs out. I start to feel dizzy and involuntarily fall off the bed. He lets go of my wrist and leaves me on the floor. I still can't move or speak, all I can do is watch him walk out and shut the door on me…

Elena's POV:

I don't know how long he's left me here but I heard screaming soon after he shut the door. He either compelled the doctors or killed them… so they wouldn't find me. What happened to him? He used to be good; he used to be my boyfriend. I continue staring at the door, blood still flowing out of my arm and onto the white floor. I wish Damon was here. Tears leak out of my eyes as I drift out of consciousness.

Damon's POV:

I know something wrong by the way Stefan slams the door, walks in and sits on the sofa without saying a word. I stare at him and then go over to him.

"Did you see Elena? How is she?" He looks up at me and then avoids my eyes again.

"You won't have to worry about Elena anymore, she's dead or at least she will be…" What has he done? I grab him by the neck and throw him across the room. He stands up quickly and growls at me. "Brother, she's trouble. You won't have to worry anymore." He repeats and smiles, grimly. He makes me sick but right now my main focus is Elena. I go towards the front door and then remember it's day time. I don't have my ring. I look back at my 'brother' and vampire speed towards him, grab his hand and take his ring off.

"You don't deserve this… you disgust me… brother." I put his ring on and run out as quickly as I can, hoping to get to her in time.

Elena's POV:

I try my best to stay awake but the darkness keeps swallowing me. I don't know how many times I've passed out but I'm not sure if the next time I'll wake up again. Isn't that what I wanted at one point? To die and get it over with? No… this isn't the way I want to go… I don't want to go now… The door bursts open, I try to look up and see who it is but I still can't move and my tears are blurring my vision.

"Elena," Damon's voice sounds so far away. I feel his arms around me and I shake uncontrollably. "Can you hear me?" I want to respond, to comfort him, anything. The darkness threatens to overwhelm me again and this time I can't take it. My eyes close and I feel my body go numb.

I sit up suddenly and look around. My head is pounding and my throat is sore. I see Damon next to me, staring at me. I run my hands through my hair trying to shake off this weird feeling. What just happened? How did I get here?

"What's going on?" I ask him, uncertainly. He sighs and I see him hesitating before answering:

"You're transitioning."
