i will try to update a chapter a week but i have school and work so i will try my best. this is my first story so be nice! if you want to, please review and let me know what would you like to see in the story.
I was waking up to sounds of chains being rattled around the floor. I was lying on the cold, wet cement floor. I started to open my eyes and wake up; when what I saw was something I didn't think this would come to.
I saw Stephen and Damon hanging from chain, shirtless and too pale for my liking. They were hanging between a circle of light. I tried to get up but I was too weak from the drug.
"Stephen….Damon…" I said weakly. I started to crawl towards the brothers.
"Elena, stay put. She is waiting for you to wake up." Stephen said harshly.
"No! The both of you need help to get off of those things." With all my strength, I tried to get up but fell automatically. I heard the chains move again. The brothers wanted to help me but were deprived of it.
"Elena, please. You are too weak to get up. Just stay where you are." Damon said.
I didn't listen to any of them. I needed to get them out of here before she came back. I tried to get up again and successfully didn't fall again.
"Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us!" that voice made my stomach turn. Katherine's here. I was already by the circle of light when she spoke.
"Stay right where you are Elena. We are going to play a little game. I promise it will be fun!" Katherine said venomously.
"Katherine, please. End this madness now. This isn't the way to do things." Stephen said pleading.
"Oh yes it is Stephen. This is the only way to do things, since you didn't want to comply with me." Katherine spat at him.
"I ignored the bitch and I still am in this situation." Damon said.
Katherine moved so quickly all I heard was a thud. She slapped Damon in the face.
"If I agree to play this little game of yours Katherine, will you leave us alone and leave Mystic Falls for good?" I hope she will say yes. I would do anything to help Stephen and Damon.
"I agree, Elena. Now let's begin to play!" Katherine said slyly.
"Elena please, don't do this! Katherine, stop this. I will do what you want me to do!" Stephen yelled.
"Shut the fuck up Stephen! It's too late for that now. I gave you your chance and you threw it back in my face. So the game is now on between Elena and I." When Katherine spoke those words, I cringed and began to think this was a bad idea. But I didn't have a choice, Katherine would make me play whether I wanted to or not.
"This is going to be a short game Elena. It will solve this whole situation. Are you ready to play with me?" Katherine started to walk towards me.
"Yes, Katherine. I am ready to play your little game." I said. Katherine grabbed my arm and led me towards the middle of the circle of light.
"Now, here's the only question I am going to ask you: who do you love more, Stephen or Damon?" I jerked my head towards her face in awe and disgust.
"What? Katherine are you crazy?" I spat out at her. She didn't like that at all. She tightened her grip of my arm and I screamed out in pain.
"First of all you little bitch, I am not crazy! And second of all, you agreed to play my little game so now answer the fucking question! Who do you love more?" Katherine said harshly to me.
"I love both of them, Katherine. I love them both. There, I have answered your fucking question. Now let us go!" I yelled at her.
"Oh no, no, no, little Elena. You only get to choose one vampire brother. The one you love the most." She whispered into my ear.
I hesitated and looked at both Stephen and Damon. I want to say Stephen but I also want to say Damon. I looked into each of their eyes and saw that they both loved me very much and would be ok with who I choose. Then I realized I couldn't choose. I realized the same love I had for Stephen is the same love I had for Damon. I love them both.
"Oh I see now. I can see right through you Elena. You can't choose, can't you? You love them both." Katherine whispered to me.
I felt tears starting to build up and I was trying to hold them back to not show how weak I was. But I was deceived and my tears fell down my cheeks. I heard a crystal like laugh coming from Katherine. She let go of her grip and pushed me down the floor where I stayed down and more tears fell out of my eyes.
"Well Elena. This means I have to choose one for you. But one of these brothers has to die." Katherine said.
"NO! KATHERINE PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and the tears pouring down more than ever.
"Stop crying you little bitch. You brought this upon yourself. Depending on who you choose, I will decide if they die or not. So Elena, who do you love more." Katherine spat out.
"I will not choose if it means that I will be responsible for their death." I cried out. I looked towards Katherine hoping she would end this. Katherine stared at me, in awe.
"I guess then the both of your precious Salvatore brothers will die then!" Katherine yelled out. She threw both of the lapiz azul rings the brothers wear towards where I was sitting.
"NO! PLEASE KATHERINE! Kill me instead of them. I am the trouble that I cause you. I am the reason why Stephen and Damon hate you and the reason why they don't love or want to be with you anymore. If you kill me, then your problem is solved!" I cried out and begged and tried to convince her. I couldn't deal with one of the people I love dead. I rather be dead myself.
"Elena! What are you talking about? Please Katherine she doesn't know what she is saying." Stephen pleaded.
"I would die for her rather than see her life taken away." Damon said.
SHUT UP! EVERYONE!" Katherine cried out. I watched her stare at me and at Stephen and Damon. I believe she was wondering what was so special about me that made these two men crazy about me. Katherine sighed and walked towards me.
"You are willing to die for these two vampires, who already lost their lives 500 years ago. For two lifeless, soulless creatures of the dark who prey on your kind? Who kill for pleasure?" Katherine grabbed both Stephen and Damon's hand and put it into the sunlight. They screamed out in agonizing pain.
"Katherine! Please stop! You're hurting them! Kill me instead!" I stood up to confront her. "You don't know anything about their souls and they are not lifeless."
"But I can't kill you little Elena. It wouldn't make this game fun or get my point across." Katherine said venomously.
"Why? How is killing me going to make things worse? It will solve your dilemma." I said trying to convince her. I couldn't let Stephen or Damon die because I couldn't choose who I love more.
"I have made my decision for you Elena. But I will tell you what I mean before I carry out my sentence. See if I kill you, both Stephen and Damon will hate and despise me even more. They both love you very much and if I kill you, I can never have them to myself or shall I say Stephen to myself. I never really loved Damon." She said harshly. I heard Damon growl at her. She giggled and walked towards Damon.
"The truth hurts, Damon. How do you think I feel that now you and you beloved brother love some other girl who looks exactly like me? I feel sick to my stomach." Katherine spat out at Damon.
"Then what are you going to do Katherine?" I said through my tears.
"It's simple as this, Elena. I love Stephen and you love him, too" said Katherine.
"Then kill me. Take me out of the equation and then you can have Stephen to yourself." I said.
"That's not the problem, Elena. Weren't you fucking listening to me before! If I kill you then Stephen will never love me. But if I can't have him, then neither will you or any other future bitch!" Katherine yelled out.
The next thing that happened, happened so quickly that all I heard were the chains moving. Katherine grabbed Stephens's chain and unhooked him.
"Say goodbye Elena!" Katherine said.
"NOOOOOOO!" I screamed out. Next thing I heard was Stephen scream out in pain and saw his body turned to ashes. I stood there and watched the whole thing happen, in front of my eyes. I fell to the ground and watched Katherine walk towards the pile of ashes, unhooked the already weak Damon, then grabbing a handful of ashes.
"Goodbye Stephen." Katherine walked away and disappeared into the shadows.
I crawled towards the pile of ashes and sat right next to it holding a handful. I began to weep uncontrollably. Damon somehow got out of the chains and crawled towards me. He grabbed his ring and sat next to me and grabbed to hug me. He held on to me while I cried in his arms….
