Nine hours. The seconds passed by like slow moving clouds. Night fall had come and the moon was full and round, brightly illuminating the ebony sky. She sat in the graveyard and stared at it, knowing he was still around her--she could feel him. She spoke softly, her voice breaking slightly.
"I let you go...why won't you just go?" She asked defeated.

The air shifted around her as he moved to crouch down next to her. He turned his head slightly to press a kiss against her knee.
"Because you haven't let go," he said softly. He placed a hand on the ground, curling his fingers through the pine needles that littered the ground around them. He picked a handful up, using his other hand to pick through them boredly.
"And you wont...you cant,Elena. Because that is who you are."

She had her knees tucked against her chest. Closing her eyes as he continued to taunt her, she felt so hopeless and helpless now. Her hallucinations were now haunting her and she realized this wasn't him at all. This was not the Damon she loved and was still in love with. She had let him go with all she had....but he was still here.
"I have. I let you go. This is all just a dream...some kind of hallucination. You are not Damon." She tried to reassure herself.

He flicked his eyes up to meet hers, and a look of hurt crossed over his face. He let the handful of dirt and pine needles fall from his hand, and he stood.
He took hold of her hand, pulling her to her feet with him. He tilted his head slightly, reaching up to brush his hand against her cheek. His fingers then moved to tuck a lock of her hair behind her ear.

She turned away from him, pulling away from his touch. "You're tricking me...stop. Don't...don't say that." She closed her eyes and willed it to stop, willed him to go away. This was destroying the memory she had of Damon, the grief that she held for him returning to the surface as she longed for the real thing. Realizing too late that this was opening up a portal to something she had no idea how to seal off. The herbs had done something to her...
She pulled away from him completely. "Please...I just want peace. I just want...to move on." She turned away from him and balled her fist, getting angry that this hallucination was now haunting her every waking moment.

He tilted his head slightly. He stepped up behind her after a moment, sliding his arm around her waist. He dipped his head down to whisper into her ear.
"Elena, the more you fight, the more it is going to hurt."
He pressed a kiss to the side of her head, and stepped away from her. He shrugged slightly, moving to stand in front of her.
"I can only be here if you want me to be. Which means...there is some part of you that wants me to be here."

She closed her eyes tightly and felt like breaking down and crying. She wanted him here, but she really just wanted Damon...the real one back. Not some tainted illusion created by herbs and magic. "You're not real. I know you're not real...and I know what I have to do to fix this." She felt the tear roll down her cheek. Grabbing the glass bottle that lay on the ground, she growled and tossed it through the glass of the window in the crypt nearby. Watching the glass shatter and fall to the ground in shards, she inhaled and ignore his presence.

"You can't ignore me, Elena." Damon said, leaning against the wall of the crypt. He crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at her, his expression annoued.
"You made me, Elena. And some part of me wants me here. So you can stand there and pretend the problem will just go away all you want. But it isn't going to work."
He let out a sigh, looking up at the sky. He smirked slightly.

She closed her eyes and said softly, "I love you Damon...I always will." She turned away from him and headed to her car. Knowing he was around and following her. She had to go see Ric. It was the only thing she could think to do to change things, to make this all go away. It was a hard decision, but she had no other choice.
She needed to forget that she loved him so she could fully let him go. Even if the mere thought of it cut her to the core.
