Elena gasped awake and looked around. Strangers were standing around her with worried looks across their faces.
"Who are you guys?" Elena asked fearfully, backing herself up into the corner of the couch she was currently on. Practically rolling herself in a ball.
Their eyes widened. "Elena?" they asked incredulous. "Who are you guys? Why are you here, looking at me like that?" she pressed on. "Elena it's me, Stefan," a man with light, wavy brown hair and green hazel eyes. She stopped, and she felt something hit her.
This man was familiar. "I think I remember you," Elena said lowly. "What about everyone else here?" the man asked her. She looked up towards 'Stefan'. Her eyes roamed around the room to everyone else.
She didn't remember them at all. "No," she deadpanned surely. Stefan gaped at her unbelievably. "What do you remember?" he asked. "I remember Klaus; he was drinking from me for the sacrifice. While he was doing that, I heard a voice. She was saying to let go of all the hurt and pain for when I wake up," Elena said ignorantly.
Stefan's eyes widened, "do you know who the voice was?"
Elena pondered on it, "Katherine, I think." She didn't know that Katherine was evil, and she made everyone's life a living hell. All she knew that Katherine was the one she only remembered surely.
But in her mind, Katherine was the perfect best friend that was there with Elena. Katherine had told Elena about the problems and would feed her own blood to Elena. Just for protection, so she didn't die during the sacrifice.
Elena felt safe with Katherine's blood. It was surprising, but the truth. "She's freed from Klaus I bet," a man behind Stefan talked to Stefan. Her eyes darted up to the dark-haired man behind Stefan.
He stared at her in some specific way. This made Elena quite uncomfortable, causing her to shift in her spot.
Her eyes moved away from him, avoiding his gaze.
"Where is she?" Elena asked Stefan. "She's at the apartment, under Klaus's compulsion," Stefan said lowly. "He's supposed to be dead!" Elena exclaimed outraged, standing up in emphasis.
"Change of plans," someone from behind them cut in. Elena easily ignored them. "Well can't I just go there? I mean Klaus really wouldn't care-"she was cut off. "You can't. He has to believe you're dead and if you go there it won't go well," a female voice came from behind her.
Her eyes moved to the direction of the voice. A witch from what it looked like. Elena sucked in a breath of air, and suddenly felt an appetizing scent hit her. Her mouth watered, and her throat was suddenly dry.
Her skin prickled, her gums ached. Stefan looked at her worriedly. "I'm leaving," Elena said suddenly, running out to the foyer out of the open door.
The others would've tried to stop her. But they knew what was happening. Katherine and Elena had privately made a blood exchange, resulting in them having a deep mental bond.
Now Elena was in transition and desperate for her sire. This was bad, since Katherine was stuck in the apartment.
Elena roamed through the woods helpless and confused. She needed to find Katherine. She had to get something else too….
The hunger, for something was pulsating within her mind. She smelt the scent, but she didn't know what it was.
Elena stopped when she saw someone walking on the sidewalk. "Wait!" Elena called out suddenly. The woman saw Elena and her distressed state. She worriedly came towards Elena.
Elena felt the hunger spike. Then she finally understood.
A vampire; she was in transition to become a vampire now. Like Katherine told Elena…..well someone at least told her about it.
Elena staggered into the woman, and the woman awkwardly held onto her. "Something's wrong. I'm so hungry," Elena rasped out lowly. Her gums ached, and something broke from beneath the surface.
Her skin prickled, and the hunger was now uncontrollable. Elena leant in closer, and bit into the woman's neck slowly. The woman gasped out, but besides that she was mute.
Elena felt the hunger begin to disappear slightly. Only satisfied for the moment; she soon had the lady dead in her grip.
Elena dropped the body, and saw what she had done. She kicked the body roughly; it flew in the air slightly and then rolled down the little slope of a hill into the creek.
Elena's other task came to mind.
Katherine.
Elena thought deeply; where is that apartment?
"Look in front of you" the recognizable voice in her head sounded off.
"Katherine?" Elena asked out loud. "Yes. I'm on the fourth level; apartment 5d," the mental voice replied.
Elena followed the instructions, and she found herself at the door of apartment 5d. She was about to knock, but the door suddenly opened, revealing Katherine over the threshold.
"You're here," Katherine almost sounded thankful. Elena was mute, and didn't know what to say. "Come in," Katherine waved her in quietly. Elena stepped over the threshold and followed Katherine in.
Katherine stopped at a certain point and turned to Elena. "You're fully turned right?" Katherine asked unsure. "Yes," Elena swallowed the huskiness out of her voice.
Katherine seemed happy about it. "Good. Now we can go," Katherine smirked. Elena stared at her questioningly; "I thought you were stuck here?" "I was, but after the sacrifice, something got messed up. And I'm able to leave the house, which is good," Katherine explained with a shrug.
Elena seemed to be reassured by Katherine's nonchalant attitude. Which was good, it meant there would be nothing bad coming. Katherine came closer to Elena and offered her hand out.
Elena felt something hit her. Memories from somewhere; Katherine was evil and wanted nothing but hell for Elena. She willed it away, not believing it. Katherine was amazing, and nothing but the best to Elena.
Right? No! She was: No doubt behind it. Elena forced herself to believe it.
"Are you ok?" Katherine asked lowly, snapping Elena out of her thoughts. "No," Elena felt herself unable to lie. Or so she thought.
After over 500 years of existence. Katherine found herself able to see right through anyone's lies. Especially her own doppelganger's lies. "You're lying," Katherine said boldly.
Elena was surprised. "I am?" she asked, genuinely shocked.
"You are ok, but you're over-thinking everything. Which is making you believe that you're not ok," Katherine said frankly, smiling toward her.
Elena was gullible at the moment. So she believed Katherine's words.
"Let's go," Katherine held her hand out to Elena. Elena in turn took it.
They were easily able to walk out together. "How was it when you woke up?" Katherine asked, as they were walking in the woods. A familiar trail to Elena.
"I woke to see Stefan: I think that's his name. And all these strangers standing around worriedly," Elena said, her brows furrowing as she thought of the scene.
Katherine easily knew what Elena was talking about. But she didn't say anything about it. "You did what I told you to do," Katherine commented softly as they continued to walk on.
Elena looked over to her inquisitively. "You forget all the pain and hurt: Like I told you to," Katherine said smirking softly.
Elena remembered that during the sacrifice. She felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, unlike before the sacrifice. It was all doom and gloom.
But now after the sacrifice, happiness surrounded her.
It was very surprising; to say the least.
"That's good?" Elena questioned fearfully, not knowing what to think. Katherine stopped her, laying her hands on Elena's cheeks. So Elena was looking her in the eye. "It is. You can finally be happy," Katherine said lowly and meaningfully. Elena was speechless.
She did the only thing she could think of to show her gratitude for Katherine. She leant forward and kissed her. Katherine was surprised, but she easily replied back and kissed her fellow doppelganger softly and passionately.
Elena fastened the pace. Feeling a hunger inside of her: For blood or love. She couldn't quite specify it. Neither could Katherine, so she just easily followed Elena's pace.
Elena intertwined her fingers through Katherine's unruly curls. Letting the silky coils sift through her fingers.
Katherine smirked; she had her doppelganger wrapped around her little finger. And she loved it.
Elena pulled away for unneeded breath, and stared up at Katherine. "Wow," Elena was at a loss for words. Katherine smirked, "I know. Before we leave, I have to stop somewhere."
Elena stared at her suspiciously. "Where?" Elena asked nosily. "The boarding house, you'll know it all soon enough," Katherine easily assured her.
Elena gulped, as she thought of Katherine's words. What did that mean?
I hope this could turn out better than my two other Katelena stories. So I'm aiming pretty high. I think you could figure out a good summary for the story. But basically Elena ends up turning after the sacrifice. Which resulted in memories of Katherine feeding Elena her blood to come back. Somehow Elena wasn't able to remember anyone else. And I think you could figure the rest out.
