Hey. This is my first fanfic. I've read many but first attempt to write one.
I've done no research so all mentioned is a figment of imagination well except the background of TVD seasons 1 and 2 of course !
I'm not sure yet in what POV I'm going to write. Will start off as 3rd person but may play it by the ear.
I don't own the vampire diaries although if I did I would never take a break for the next season. Hate the wait!
Chapter 1. Time stands still.
"What the bloody hell!" Damon could barely support his weight on his legs even though he'd had the cure Katherine offered him.
He staggered a bit and fell down on his bed and tried getting up again.
"Damon,please. Listen to me. You need to take it easy. The cure will take some time work", Elena pleaded.
"Sure as hell dint look like you were taking it easy when I entered though!" Katherine offered in her usual manner.
"However much I'd love to bond with you over that Katherine I'm sorry to say so not the time and so not the place. And thank you for bringing the cure. And unless you have any more information that will help us find Stefan please feel free to leave", Elena retaliated.
"Yeah Katherine. Go spread doom and whatever it is you do and eclipse someone else's life please. Maybe that'll keep u busy for the next couple of centuries. "Damon seemed to be getting better much faster, Elena thought with a smile, seeing that his usual caustic self was coming back.
"Sure I would. I'm sort of free now. Off Klaus's radar for a few years at least. Since he has ripper stef as bum chum and partner in crime now ", Katherine smirked.
Damon growled at that and finally had it in him to super speed in front of her clutching at her throat, throwing her against the nearest wall. "I swear to God Katherine if you are fooling around then you'll have yourself on Damon radar and I promise to torment you slowly over the next 145 years, you'll wish you'd have never left the tomb." He breathed the words in her face.
"Ooh threatening really. I'm scared Damon. I really am. I'm shaking. ". In a flash of a second she had changed positions and it was Damon against the wall and Katherine's hand on his throat.
"Not the best of moves Damon. If you even want to last for the next 145 years you should know better than to attack a much older vampire who's recently fed. And not to mention yourself saying goodbye and all to undead life just a few moments ago. So not the place and so not the time!" she said the words directed at Damon but glancing sideways at Elena.
"And besides," she said leaving Damon and facing them with her hands in her pockets casually," I'm not joking. I was there. Stefan traded his life for yours Damon. And he's now bound to Klaus. Hell the way he was when I left him I doubt he's going to be slave to anyone but his thirst. Klaus has caused Stefan's nature to resurface and you damn well know that vampire Stefan and human wannabe Stefan are two ends of a long spectrum. And this time I don't see him returning to his humanity ", Katherine elaborated.
Elena slumped onto Damon's bed with a glazed look over her face. "Remember the time he was on human blood," she said looking at Damon with the most helpless look on her face. She dint even complete her statement.
"Sshh Elena ssh
h. It'll be ok. We'll find him. We'll catch up before he gets out of hand. Besides he's been feeding on your blood. He's probably just playing along with Klaus ", Damon reasoned. Or tried to.
In his head he remembered the destruction Stefan the Ripper left behind him and ironically at that time he disapproved of what his brother had become, and had cut all ties from him. And when he had tried to find his humanity and turn into Saint Stefan, Damon had switched off and urged him to go back to his deadly ways. And now when Elena had succeeded in bringing back what could be salvaged of him Stefan had gone back. It seemed as if the brothers were doomed to always be at odds. Could they never co-exist with their ideologies?
"Damon u need to convince yourself before convincing me. And what good can a few drops of blood everyday do against few bodies drained off by Stefan. ? This is all my fault. Had I not been so uptight with the whole human blood thing his tolerance would have been so much better ", Elena whined.
"Elena ..." Damon pleaded,
"Oh please martyr Elena. You're insufferable. You really think anything you could've done would make a difference in Klaus's plan of action? This is not about building tolerance. This is about going out of control. And because he's held back for so long this will come to bite him in the ass with such velocity that he'll never be able to turn on that switch again. This time he's lost. Forever. "Katherine explained with so much honesty no one could even muster a comeback.
"What do you mean you saw Anna and Vicky?" Bonnie asked idiotically. Jeremy was impassive to the news now considering he had gotten used to their presence last night. And really after all that's been happening it took a lot more to really shock him now.
"I woke up at night and I thought Alaric was moving around so I went down to check. But I saw him sleeping on the couch. And I went further down the hall and heard my name. Turned around and saw Vicky. Heard my name again. Turned around and saw Anna. ", he said as if he had learned an answer and was repeating it.
Bonnie still looked confused. She gave Alaric a questioning look.
"I woke up immediately after Jeremy shook me and we searched the whole house. We dint find anything... Anyone" he said after giving Bonnie a look that said obviously how could we find anything?
"You don't believe me do you Alaric?" Jeremy sighed.
It really pained Bonnie to see him this way. He'd just lived through a death if that's even a term she thought. He really dint need anything more to traumatise him.
"I just think the trauma of dying and coming back is way more deep rooted than we think "Alaric offered.
Bonnie nodded. She understood what he was trying to say.
"Maybe when you died Jeremy you probably entered a realm of the people you were closed to who have died. And that memory probably came back with you. "Bonnie tried to rationalise.
" Ya that pretty much makes sense. Like you know some form of post traumatic stress disorder. "Alaric seemed to agree with Bonnie.
"Bonnie you really think I'd wake up Alaric and come over to you in the middle of the night over some PTSD shit? ", Jeremy was getting annoyed now." I really need you'll to start believing me if we are going to figure why I'm seeing ghosts ".
Bonnie and Alaric looked at each other. Alaric could make out that she really wanted to believe Jeremy. And also knowing all that had happened at Mystic Falls recently, the idea of ghosts running about in town was not entirely absurd.
"Ghosts? You think they are ghosts Jeremy?" Bonnie asked surprised.
"What else can they be? They came out of nowhere. Dint attack me. I could barely get them to speak to me and in less than a flash they were gone. And we know for sure they are really dead. Damon saw Anna dying. Greying in front of his eyes Bonnie. And the fire would surely finish anything that remained. And Vicky. Well we all know how that went." He has a point Bonnie thought.
"Yeah with all that's happening it's not entirely impossible" Alaric consented.
"They said there will be consequences!" Bonnie shrieked. Alaric read into her alarm. Even he seemed engrossed into what Bonnie might say next. Jeremy was looking at both of them even more confused than ever.
"Who said? And what does it mean?" No one seemed to hear his question. Alaric and Bonnie seemed to be in their own world.
And then suddenly as if being awakened Alaric shook out of his reverie and looked far off behind Bonnie's back.
He seemed even more disconnected than before. Bonnie and Jeremy dint seem to notice this sudden increase in the silence that swept across until Alaric broke the silence still staring behind Bonnie.
" Jenna... "He whispered.
Ok! So this is chapter 1 you guys! I know it's not much different than what we'd expect season 3 to come up with but I promise lots more drama beginning to unfold soon!
Please let me know if you'll like it! And I'll update soon!
