Alright so after seeing the winter finale I came up with this theory about the story of Silas which inspired this fan fic. This all starts out when Bonnie and Damon come to Professor Shane's lecture about Silas, hoping to get his help to find a way to save Elena from the hallucinations she's been having. Some parts may be confusing right not, but it will all make sense soon trust me. :) Also I am not a pro writer so yes I'm going to have mistakes, but I just had this idea, and thought that it'd make a great story. I don't follow the story line since most of this takes place in the past, but there will be snippets of scenes from the show that you've seen but represented in a different way. You'll see what I mean. And also, the first chapters will be centered around the story of Silas and what "really" happened, then it will go back to present time. First chapter will be a little boring but it'll get better I promise :) I do not own The Vampire Diaries.
Damon couldn't believe that Bonnie had talked him into this, but he had no choice. When it came down to it, he didn't care that he'd have to seek help from "Professor Shady Pants'" as long as there was a slight chance that this guy could help Elena, he'd do anything. Walking into the exhibit, Bonnie saw the entire room focused on Professor Shane, listening intently to his lecture about some guy she'd never heard of. Around the room were screens that all projected the same name, Silas. And in the center of the room was a large rock that seemed to be nothing at all out of the ordinary. "Alright I think I've had my fair share of history lessons, come look for me when this is done and bring him with you," Damon said, feeling as though every second he spent in this room surrounded with meaningless hieroglyphics was more time he'd be wasting when he could be finding a way to stop Elena's hallucinations. "Alright," Bonnie replied, and Damon strolled out of the room. Bonnie sat down along with the other students listening to Atticus Shane speak.
"This people," he motioned towards the big center piece rock, "is what's thought to be one of the very first tomb stones ever. One that belonged to one of the most powerful witches of all time, a witch named Silas," The name tasted bitter in his mouth, just like it always had whenever he mentioned him. "Silas managed to create a spell that would grant him immortality and immense power."
Bonnie leaned forward, paying closer attention and almost forgetting the real reason she came. She knew better than to disregard any supernatural legends and folktales. In the past few years, she'd come to realize how all of them turn out to be true, so what's to say this one isn't?
Professor Shane started to make his way slowly through the crowd of listening ears, completely immersed in the tale, "Now legend has it that he had the help of another witch to make this spell… I witch named Ketsia who was completely and utterly in love with him. Problem was that Silas had plans to give immortality to another woman. Ketsia then proceeded to kill this woman and bury Silas alive, forcing him to live with the pain that comes with not being able to have what your heart most desires."
He stopped and glanced towards Bonnie's direction for a moment before looking back at the rock. "It's said that Silas wants to rise again, regain power, and reek havoc on the world….maybe we should all be afraid," His thoughts wandered deep into his memory to a single image that has haunted him for years; A beautiful hazel eyed girl looking back at him with the look of pure hatred and betrayal. He shook the image away, "or it's all just a bunch of made up crap, and it's just an old rock."
