Damon lifted Elena in his arms and walked out of the kitchen.
“I didn’t mean to” Katherine hastily said, but Damon ignored her. Just like he ignored the headache and the corrosive pain on his back. He carried Elena upstairs to his bedroom and lay her on the bed.
“Give her some of your blood” Katherine said, standing in the doorway. Damon shook his head. “I can’t do that” he said. “She will hate me”
Katherine rolled her eyes. “Yeah, and how many times has she tried to? Trust me, Damon, she will not hate you” she a dit as she walked towards the bed. She lay her hand on his shoulder. “Hey, if toi can’t I will” And before Damon could stop her she bit her own wrist and forced it on Elena. Damon and Katherine held their breath and Elena opened her eyes. “What just happened?” she asked. Katherine walked backwards to the door. “You can thank me later” she a dit with a wink before leaving the room.
“What happened?” Elena repeated.
“Katherine bit toi par accident” Damon explained. Elena shook her head confused. “No, with you. You’re in pain, I can see it”
“Stefan and I fought with each other” Damon said. Elena shook her head again and sat up. “No, there’s something else… What’s on your back?”
Damon shoved away from her. “Nothing” he a dit desperate. “Why do toi ask that?” “Yesterday toi were in pain. I saw it on your face. And your button-down was wet” she touched his clothes. “And now too. Damon, what is there?”
Damon shook his head. “Nothing” but a lot less convincing. “Please stop asking” he added and he got off the bed. “You need to rest” he a dit trying to change the subject. But Elena got out of lit to and walked towards Damon. Before he could do anything she shoved her hand underneath his T-shirt and felt something wet and warm. She pulled her hand back and stared shocked at the blood on her fingers.
“Elena, don’t” Damon protested as Elena held up his T-shirt and screamed. The suivant moment Damon fell down on the floor and convulsed and rolled on his sides, while screaming himself.
“What’s happening?” Elena cried while watching Damon crawling on the floor. The door went open and Katherine and Stefan appeared in the room. “What’s going on?” Stefan asked. He looked at Elena who was in total panic. “Someone’s hurting him!” she cried. “Please, make them stop!”
“He’s burning” Katherine panted. She pointed at the burns on Damon’s face and arms. “Elena, take the sheets from his bed” she ordered the girl. Elena did what she was told. “Now go to him and cover him” While Elena walked to Damon, Stefan tightened Katherine’s arm. “You really think that’s going to work?” he a dit sarcastic.
“Bonnie will know Elena’s close to him, physically. As much as she loathes Damon she will not risk Elena getting hurt” Katherine said. And she was right. As soon as Elena bent down to cover Damon with the sheets he stopped convulsing and the burns healed.
“Why did that happen?” Elena asked caressing Damon’s hair.
“I wasn’t allowed to montrer anyone what’s on my back” Damon a dit weak.
“By who?” Elena asked.
“Hmm, three guesses” Katherine scorned.
“The Evil Enchantress” Damon a dit mischievous before passing out.
