"No" Elena whispered tears filling her eyes as well. "Damon, I don't want to leave. I can't leave you. I love you."
His eyes also filled. He hardly cried for anything but if there was anything to cry about this was it. The spell hadn't worked. He was going to lose her for good.
"I love you too Elena. Please don't leave me." He sobbed into her neck letting every barrier he ever had; go.
"I don't want to Damon." She rested her head on his shoulders while she cried hysterically.
Damon didn't reply. He just grabbed her tight and squeezed his face into the crook of her neck. All thoughts flashed throughout his mind. How he had treated her bad, how she had forgave him, how she had grown to love him for him. The one thing in his life that actually made it worth living with Elena. She was who he was meant to be with. He was who she was meant to be with. They were soul mates; nobody else would even compare to their love. His thoughts wondered to his brother, to whom he despised more than anything. He promised him an eternity of misery and if hadn't been so foolish; he should have killed him long before now but it was too late. The fool fell for Katherine's manipulations and turned against his own brother and ex-lover.
Both of them remained silent; breathing in each other's presence trying not to think that it was their last day together, perhaps their last moments. Neither had any idea when she would leave, or how she would leave and frankly; it terrified both of them to pieces.
Elena had always said she would die if she had to but she did not have to. She did not want to, especially not now. Her thoughts flooded back to Stefan. Her mind searched for the good memories they had together but could only conjure up the memory that turned her feelings for him into hate; the last words they spoke to each other before he and Katherine caught the boarding house on fire; the fire that killed Elena. She would die hating Stefan Salvatore although she had loved him no more than a few months prior.
Damon jerked forward as if he had leaned forward but that was not so. He had just been leaning on Elena. He opened his eyes to see Elena with a shocked expression on her face, becoming more transparent as the seconds passed by.
"It's happening Damon" She cried trying to touch him but her hand would just go right through his face and his body.
"Elena please don't leave me" He said, barely audible while he tried not to break down.
"I love you Damon. I will always love you Damon. I hope we meet again someday. The past months have made my life worth living. I love you so much" Wiping her eyes, she blew him a kiss and smiled as much as she could before completely disappearing.
He bawled her name before collapsing to his knees. The thought crossed his mind. The thought about dying. He had no reason to live anymore so why should he? He gulped before standing back up on his feet, and removing his ring that protected him from the sunlight. He placed it on the closest surface next to him and made his way toward the entrance of Elena's house before stepping into the sunlight, and becoming nothing more than a pile of ash that quickly blew away with the wind.
"I told you we'd see each other again" Her sweet voice called from behind him.
"Where are we?" Damon asked looking around. Everything was green, they were on a field, it was a sunny day. Just like their dream.
"I don't know where we are" She answered honestly. "But as long as I'm with you, everything will be okay." She grabbed his hand, relieved that she could feel him once more. "How long have I been gone?" She asked.
Damon shrugged. "No more than ten minutes."
Elena's eyes widened. "Damon, what did you do?"
"I couldn't live without you Elena, I wasn't even going to try. I knew that life would never be worth living without you; so I ended it." He squeezed her hand tighter. "I got you. You got me. We are together forever now, just you and I. I love you"
Elena decided to not even argue about what he had done. She had him which was all that mattered. If they were going to be together forever; she would be happy. "I love you too."
The couple walked off into the sunset, surrounded by trees, flowers, and acres of grass that stretched out in every direction. Hand in hand they made their way farther and farther from where they had just stood; before disappearing into thin air leaving their love eternal. For always.
And this story is finished, it took me a year to complete but I did it.
This is probably my shortest chapter, it is my shortest chapter, only 800+ words before I added this, I'm sorry it's short but after Elena died I didn't feel the need to describe Damon's death too much; it'd be too sad for you and too sad for me. Although, this chapter is sad.
I thank each and every one of you who have stuck with me throughout this entire story and read right from the beginning or just picked it up along the way. :)
