Stefan and I were in Elena's room as she woke up gasping for air. I was wearing a purple dress with a black belt and pleated hem. My hair was currently up.
"What happened?" She asked in shock.
"You drowned in the lake." I explained. "But Meredith gave you some blood in the hospital."
"Where's Matt?" Elena asked frantically.
"He's fine." Damon declared bitterly as he entered the room. I wonder how much of that had to do with Elena choosing Stefan. "My brother sought to save him."
"I got him out and he's fine." Stefan repeated.
"How are you still alive?" Elena asked in surprise.
"I guess I'm just lucky." I lied. I didn't want to tell them that Klaus was in Tyler's body and that was the reason we were all alive.
"I'm dead." Elena replied. "I'm dead. No, I can't be dead."
Well she was not taking this well. As far as I could tell, a person in transition could not be compelled.
"Bonnie said that she might be able to use a spell to bring you back to life." Stefan explained. I think that would make it so she could see ghosts like Jeremy and Anna can. I don't know if I can trust Bonnie.
"The only thing that will help if for you to feed and complete the transition." Damon argued.
"We have all day before she has to feed. It gives us time to explore other options." Stefan remarked. It seemed like he really didn't want her to become a vampire.
"There are no other options." Damon declared. "It's a simple choice: you feed or you die. There is no third option."
"I wanted to die. I was giving my life to save Matt." Elena cried. I don't think she wanted to either, but I didn't want to lose her. I wanted to her to live. I know it's selfish, but I already lost Ric. "I can't be a vampire. If Bonnie can do something, we have to try."
Maybe I can convince her to keep on living.
"We will try." Stefan declared.
"It's your choice." Damon said spitefully before he left the room. I decided to follow him out.
"Damon, this isn't something that we should just force on her." I replied.
"Stefan forced it on me." The older Salvatore stated.
"And it took 146 years to forgive him for it." I argued. "Look, I don't want her to die either, but this is her choice. The best we can do is convince her not to want to die."
Damon went into the kitchen and began to pour himself a drink from Ric's stash. Stefan walked in as well.
"If this was possible, don't you think Emily would have done it for us?" He asked his brother.
"You weren't there when she told me that she never wanted this." Stefan replied. I guess I wasn't either.
"Why did you let her die then?" Damon challenged. Stefan explained that she asked to help Matt. You know if I hadn't gone off, we probably could have saved both of them.
I went to Elena's room and she looked like she was having a real bad migraine. It was then that I found Jeremy and Anna. Elena gave her brother a hug.
"Are you okay?" He asked. "I saw Vicki go through what you're going through now."
"I'm fine." Elena replied.
"Elena, I was in transition for half an hour and I felt like I was on fire." I explained.
"Have you talked to Bonnie?" Elena asked her brother. I sighed. It hurt to see her in denial like this.
Jeremy explained how he was brought back to life. Jeremy didn't want her to become a vampire either.
"You know I'm standing right here." I pointed out.
"What Jeremy means is that in the unlikely chance that you Elena can be brought back to life, he wants to go with that option." Anna explained. She looked hurt by Jeremy's comments about vampires too.
I decided that I needed to go to the hospital to see if I could talk to Meredith. I then noticed a lot of people in suits and decided to turn back immediately. I would have to get blood from somewhere else. I think I might need to hide.
I went out near the woods. It was there I was met with the minister.
"Miss, I think you need to come with us." He said as I looked around. I was surrounded. I didn't have a foolproof way of escape. I only had one option. I really like this dress. A guy shot at me. I jumped and changed in midair, pouncing on the guy and breaking his neck. I then snarled at the rest of them. I could tell that they were nervous.
"Retreat" The pastor declared. "We'll worry about this one later."
Rather than go after them, I ran out into the woods and toward the Lockwood cellar. I needed somewhere to hide. I changed back. I really wish I had something to cover myself.
I wasn't alone in the cellar. Bonnie was there as was Klaus in Tyler's body…and Tyler's body. I covered myself with my hands.
"I need your shirt." I told Klaus. I should have been able to stretch it enough to cover myself. "Please."
Klaus took off his shirt and I was treated to Tyler's chest, which I had already seen. I threw it over myself and went to my mid-thigh. It would have to do for right now.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Bonnie has decided to try to bring Elena back to life as opposed to putting me back in my body." Klaus replied. "It looks like we'll have to be patient, Love. Might as well take a seat for now."
"Can you text Elena to let her know that I'm okay." I requested of Bonnie as I sat on the ground, trying to prevent the shirt from riding up. I could really use some panties right now.
After a few minutes, Tyler's phone called it was his mom.
"Oh, you incessant woman." Klaus muttered before he answered. "Hey Mom."
"Tyler, thank God. Don't tell me where you are." The mayor replied. "Pastor Young had me arrested this morning."
"I'm fine." He remarked. "Laura's with me too."
"I was worried that you were with Caroline." The woman said.
"Where's Caroline?" Klaus asked.
"The council took her." She replied. He hung up.
"So I know that you probably don't care about Caroline, but you are in Tyler's body and Caroline is Tyler's girlfriend. So go and save your goddamn woman." I ordered.
"Only because you asked so nicely." He remarked with a smug smirk. It was not a good look on Tyler's face. He then left to find her.
That left me alone with Bonnie.
"So your mom isn't in town, is she?" I asked.
"No, she went back to North Carolina." The witch replied. "I don't know if I can do the spell to bring Elena back to life."
"I kind of think that she's in denial." I admitted. "She knows that she is probably going to have to become a vampire, even if she doesn't want to."
Bonnie's phone rang saying there was a text that Stefan and Elena had been taken.
I decided to rush home and talk to him.
When I got there, Meredith and Sheriff Forbes were also there. They were discussing some business. I really needed to get dressed. I came down a few minutes later, fully clothed.
"So do you have any idea where they were going?" Meredith asked me.
"I didn't have time to ask. I didn't even have to undress before turning into a wolf." I explained. "I don't know where they are right now."
Matt came in and Damon grabbed him by the neck.
"Damon, stop!" I ordered. He didn't let go. "Stop or I'll bite you."
"I'll rip your heart before you can try." Damon threatened.
"You two need to stop fighting." Meredith told us. "We need to figure out what to do."
"So what do you know about this Pastor Young?" I asked the sheriff.
"Bill Young. He's a widower, daughter is in boarding school." The sheriff explained.
"Where does he live?" Damon asked.
"Damon, we can't just charge in there." I told him. "They probably have the place guarded. We need to come up with a strategy or we're going to killed/captured."
"What about Bonnie?" Damon suggested. "Maybe she can do some kind of protection spell."
"Bonnie pretty much has her hands full right now." I explained. "We're going to have to do this without her. Does anyone know where Jeremy is?"
"He and Anna are with Bonnie." Matt replied.
"They confiscated your vervain and Alaric's weapons." The sheriff replied.
"I think that they might be at the Pastor's farm." Matt opined. "The doors could be modified to hold a vampire. I guess that was as good of a guess as any. I just hope that Elena would still be alive when we got there.
"Looks like you get a chance to prove how sorry you are." Damon told the quarterback.
"We still should come up with a plan." I replied as I followed the two of them. This was a bad idea.
We got in the car and Damon began to drive.
"Let me reiterate that they have all of Ric's weapons, and all we have is super speed and strength, my ability to turn into a wolf, and his…ability to throw a perfect spiral." I stated as the two of them looked at me. "How are we going to save them?"
"Well you can smell vampires, so you should know where they're being kept." Damon pointed out.
"So, do you really think Bonnie will be able to bring Elena back to life?" Matt asked.
"No." Damon and I answered simultaneously.
"I might as well explain how we're all still alive." I declared. "Bonnie used a spell to put Klaus in Tyler's body. Ric staked an empty shell and Klaus jumped from one hybrid to another."
"So is he still in Tyler's body?" Matt asked. "Where is he now?"
"I don't know where he is now, but he was the one who saved Caroline because I told him too." I explained. "Bonnie is too busy trying to save Elena to remove him right now."
"Just so you know, I have a plan." Damon stated. "The council may have gotten most of Ric's weapons, but they didn't get the ones from my trunk."
We arrived at the farm and I opened the trunk. There really wasn't much in there, just a few stakes. I guess it was better than nothing. This was not to be easy. I also didn't want to ruin another outfit.
"So what do we do now?" Matt asked.
"This." Damon declared as he bit into Matt's neck. Matt got up within a few seconds. "Is anyone home?"
I heard footsteps as I began to sniff the area. One notable thing was a very heavy smell of vervain.
"Let him go. The boy is innocent." Pastor Young declared.
"I want to kill him." Damon declared.
"Go away. You are not invited in and I'm not coming out." Pastor Young declared before I heard a gunshot. I ducked to the ground as a bullet hit Damon. I went and twisted the gunman's neck.
I then heard a struggle coming from inside of the barn. I wasn't sure if I would be able to enter it. I also smelled some blood. I tried to walk in and it was no good. I couldn't get in. I just had to hope that things would turn out okay in there.
I then noticed Damon killing two more deputies. Unfortunately, after that, he decided to turn his attention to Matt.
"Go ahead and kill me." Matt declared. I had to do something. "You can't possibly hate me more than I hate myself right now."
"Yes I can." Damon rebutted. "It should have been you."
Suddenly, before I could do anything, Elena came and tackled him to the ground. Her eyes were red, her fangs were grown and she had veins under her eyes. She had transitioned.
I decided to give Matt some of my blood.
"Why does everyone keep saving me?" He asked in frustration.
"Elena is the one who decided to save you." I told him. "You owe your life to her because she decided that your life was more important than your own. Now stop complaining and just be thankful that you're alive!"
I noticed that Damon and Elena were fighting again. Well some things never change, even when Elena is changed into a vampire. I'm just glad that everyone was alright. I went and saw Rebekah ready to leave.
"My brother left me." She replied. "He chose to save that stupid Caroline over me."
"I asked him to save Caroline." I declared. "But I didn't know that they had you and I didn't expect him to leave you behind. I'm sorry."
I couldn't help but wonder if Klaus was back in his own body yet. I don't know if I could be with him. I mean what kind of person abandons his own sister?
I decided to stand on the edge of town. I could cross the lines and never come back. I mean just because we had escaped this time didn't mean the council wasn't going to try again. I could go home. I know my mom probably missed me. I wouldn't have to deal with Klaus or the council or anything. The biggest thing that was holding me back was Elena, and Jeremy, and Anna, and Caroline, and Tyler, and everyone. They had become my family. I don't know if I could leave right now.
The pastor's farm was that far away. I knew that I needed to head home. I guess I would just have to face whatever happens and keep hoping that everything is going to be okay. We can be more careful now.
Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. It sounded like an explosion. I looked at the Young farm and noticed that the building had gone up in smoke. I went near. I wasn't invited in, so I couldn't save anybody if I wanted to. Not that I could. There were zero signs of life. No heartbeats, no breathing. Everyone was dead.
So the story started off with a bang. Elena is a vampire and Laura used her talents to escape being captured, but things are not going to get better from there. Plus, will Laura be able to forgive Klaus for abandoning Rebekah? Please don't forget to review.
