"Absolutely not."

"Absolutely, yes! If there's a chance of finding Stefan and helping Elena and Rick, I'm coming!"

Damon grabs my shoulders with his hands. One negative thing about him is that he always wants what he wants. Not nessicarly because he's selfish, but because he is determined to protect you, even if that means taking your choice away from you.

"No you aren't. You're staying in this house."

"Damon, please. You know how horrible I feel about not being there during the ritual or when you got bit. I would hate myself if something happened tonight and I wasn't there."

He sighs. "Fine. But you aren't leaving my sight or doing anything incredibly stupid."

"Deal," I say with a smile.

***

Long car rides with Damon Salvatore are always interesting. I sit in the passenger's seat, on edge the entire time. This could be our chance to get Stefan back.

I just can't believe Elena would go without telling us. I understand why though, because Damon would have never let her go. I know he doesn't want to bring me along, but chances are he's also paranoid about leaving me alone in the house without him or Stefan.

"Damon, turn down the music," I complain.

He only turns it back up. "Never any fun, are you, Rosie?" he yells over it.

"I'm trying to think"

"About what!" he shouts back.

"How we're going to save Stefan!"

"Sorry! Can't hear you! Are you saying how we are most definitely not going to be able to save Stefan and that we're going to get eaten by werewolves because it's a full moon?

I shake my head, laughing only slightly. Damon needs to have a more positive outlook, but he only assumes that the worst will happen.

After a long car ride, we're finally here. It doesn't take long for Damon to drag me up the hiking trails to the point where Elena and Rick are.

Elena immediately looks at Rick upset when she sees Damon. "You told him? Traitor."

Rick sighs. "Elena, I had to."

Damon pushes Elena into the water. "Come back to the car. Now."

Elena crosses her arms after she pulls herself above water. She's absolutely drenched and I look at Damon with disproval.

"No. If I get out of the water, you're going to make me leave."

Damon begins to step into the water. "Elena. It's a full moon. Get out of the water."
