Enjoy!
Katherine and Klaus stood before Stefan and Elena. In Katherine's hands, enclosed in a box, were the two cures that had the power to turn two vampires into humans.
"What do you want in return for the cures? We'll give you anything",Stefan said.
Katherine grinned. "Anything? Really?" Elena leaned in closer to Stefan, afraid to find out what Katherine's plan was. "Well, if you're really willing to give anything for these cures, then there is something we'll take. Besides, I talked to Klaus earlier and he's perfectly fine with it",Katherine explained. "I'll give you both cures if..."
"If what",Elena asked.
"If you let Klaus erase every memory of Stefan from Elena's mind and every memory of Elena from Stefan's mind."
"What",Elena and Stefan yelled at the same time.
"Hey, it's a good deal. How about this, I'll give you tomorrow until midnight to think about it. When it's midnight, meet us at the quarry. If you don't come, I'll just assume you're not interested and I'll toss the cures down the river. Got it? Good. See you tomorrow." Just then, they vanished.
"What are we going to do, Stefan",Elena asked. "Are we going to give them what they want?"
"I don't know." They began discussing it until they finally reached a decision.
Elena and Stefan walked towards the quarry. She pulled out her phone to look at the time. It was exactly midnight. As if on cue, Katherine and Klaus appeared before them.
"Alright, what's your decision",Katherine asked.
It was Stefan who spoke. "We have a deal. Our memories of each other in return for both cures."
"Really? I actually didn't think you'd be willing to accept my offer. Very well, here are your pathetic cures. Take them now." She handed Elena the box.
"How do you know we won't just take them and run",Elena asked.
"Because then you'll be human and you won't be able to run very fast." Elena opened the box and handed one of the cures to Stefan. She put it in her mouth and chewed. Finally, she swallowed it.
She felt different. Elena felt, lighter, as if a huge weight was finally lifted off her shoulders.
"Alright, it's time for our end of the bargain",Katherine said.
Elena looked at Stefan. He looked the same; the only difference was that now, he needed to breathe.
"Goodbye, Stefan",she whispered. She leaned forward and kissed him. When they finally pulled away, he whispered in her ear. "I love you, Elena." "I love you, Stefan",she whispered back.
They faced Katherine and Klaus now. Klaus moved towards Stefan while Katherine moved towards Elena and fixed her gaze upon Elena.
"You won't remember anything about Stefan Salvatore. You won't remember any of the memories or moments. You won't remember a single second of the time you've spent with him. Instead, you remember being with Damon."
Elena obediently repeated the words. Suddenly, she fell to the ground. She felt pain as the memories escaped her mind. All of the memories, laughs,ups, and downs, all gone. Everyday they had spent together, every kiss, every lie, and every ounce of pain disappearing from view. All flashing out of her mind like summer lightning until there was no more. Nothing left of him was in her mind. And her heart.
I know that this is a short start but it'll hopefully get longer over time. So, what did you think? If Elena was compelled to think that she was with Damon, then who was Stefan compelled to think he was with? Stay tuned...
