-Disclaimer- I don't own anything, all rights belong to the owners. As you may see in my story, I'm not a big fan of Bonnie and Stefan (and some others..), I always think there's something not right with them and well… Anyway in my opinion, Elena is too naïve and so I wanted to make her a bit more feisty and stronger.

„Jeremy! Do you hear me?", I shouted over and over again into my phone. "Jer! I need help! Please! Jeremy!". Silence, that's all I got for an answer. The walls around me seemed to move together. It was like one of those bad dreams, but here…. it was reality. I was trapped and without help I couldn't get out.

The small light that shone into that cave, got darker and darker by the minute. My phone had only a small amount of battery left. Soon it would turn off and I would be helpless. I knew I had to stay strong, I knew that I had to keep fighting, but I knew that I wouldn't last any longer too. I couldn't die, not today…

There was less air, the more time I spent here. It got harder to breathe, harder to keep fighting. I tried every number on my contact list, but nobody answered. Always when you really need to talk with them over the phone, you can't reach them. Why's that always the case?

After another couple minutes of shouting on voice messages, I heard thunder and soon after I felt rain coming into the cave. It was raining heavily and in less than ten minutes, my ankles were under water. Somewhere deeper in the cave I heard a loud crack, followed by the noise of rushing water.

The water was getting deeper and deeper, as it was getting colder too. I had to keep fighting! After all I survived, after all I fought for, I couldn't die like this. I had to stay strong, had to continue finding an exit! If I had to die in that stupid hole, I would die fighting and not die because I gave up. So I continued calling everyone and leaving voicemails. Hoping they would hear them and come and help me.

"Jeremy! Please help me! Please! The water it'", I couldn't finish my phrase, as I slipped and fell into the water, hitting my forehead on a nearby rock. My phone fell from my hand and directly into the water. When I got it out of the water, it wasn't working anymore. I couldn't help but curse a little and when I had control over myself again, I felt a bit lightheaded. I had to steady myself against a rock, to make sure I wouldn't fall.

After a minute or two of calming down, I realized that the water reached now over my waist. But that wasn't the only thing. It was now almost completely dark. The light coming from above me was getting even darker and I could see, that it was now nearly night. Also the temperature was sinking by the minute, or was that my imagination because of the water? 'Who knows?... Maybe I'm just slowly dying of hypothermia? No! Then you would feel tired and slightly warmer, not colder…'

But slowly and surely I couldn't feel my toes and foot anymore. Everything was so cold and I just wanted to curl into a ball and sleep. I was so tempted; I thought I could even see a bed or a pillow… 'ELENA! Stay awake!', I thought over and over again, but my eyes suddenly felt so heavy and it was hard to keep them open. 'Maybe if I walk or swim around it will help?...', I thought after I yawned.

So I started swimming around, but suddenly I had a huge, painful cramp in my legs and got under water. I tried to swim, but every movement caused me so much pain, that I got under water again. My throat hurt so much, because of the water I kept swallowing. And just as the cramp had begun, they were away again and I was able to hold myself of the wall.

After coughing several times, trying to get the water out of my lungs and stomach, I thought I heard something. And that little noise gave me huge hope and I started to shout. "HELP! HELP! I'm down here, please!"

But when I had finished my shout I realized what that noise was, as many stones and some earth came through the hole, which gave my some light and air. I succeeded in avoiding some of the stones, but just when I thought it was over I felt one hitting my head and I was out cold.

Elijah.P.O.V.

I was walking with Rebekah through the forest, when she suddenly made me stop. A bit annoyed that she made me stop, I turned to her. "What is it Rebekah?" "Do you hear that?", she asked me looking behind us. "The rain? Yes, I hear and feel the rain. Come on, let's continue.", I answered with sarcasm. "Stop it! Wait… this shout… I know this voice… isn't that?", Rebekah thought loudly. I couldn't help, but to laugh at her, since I couldn't hear a thing.

Suddenly she was away and out of curiosity I followed. She ran through the woods as fast as she could and suddenly in front of a huge hole in the ground she stopped and jumped in it. "Rebekah! Are you out of your mind?!", I asked angrily. I tried to follow her, but I was blocked. I couldn't move to this hole, I could feel that there was magic in the air and that irritated me even more. So I was left waiting for Rebekah to come up again.

Mere seconds later, she resurfaced with someone in her arms. She put the person on the ground and that's when it hit me. "Elena!", I shouted now trying even harder to get to her, still with no success. Rebekah put Elena on the ground and started to a cardiac massage. "Rebekah, can you hear a heartbeat?", I demanded. Rebekah only shook her head and stopped with the massage. "It's… over. I... I couldn't… I…", Rebekah couldn't finish, because she was silently crying next to Elena.

It took me some seconds to realize everything, but then I felt crushed. I let my tears fall freely as I let myself go to the ground. When I looked to the still form of Elena, I could see that her lips where slightly blue and purple, that she was soaking wet and that she had a big gash on her forehead too.

When I had control over myself again, I stood up, took a deep breath and turned to the still silent Rebekah. "Bring her over here, I can't reach you." First I thought that she didn't hear me, but she then stood up, took Elena and came over to me. As soon as I could reach them, I took Elena into my arms and started to walk to our home. I didn't need to say a word, as Rebekah silently still crying followed me.

*At Bonnie's House*

Bonnie's P.O.V.

I was so angry with Elena. Everything always only turns around her and those stupid vampires! And all the others, don't they realized that the bad things that happened, where because Elena had met the Salvatores? Where they actually all blind and stupid?

Like many times before, Elena and I had a fight, about the vampires. She kept saying, that they weren't so bad, that they could change and blah, blah, blah. I was so sick of that speech! At the time I was so angry, that I locked Elena inside an old cave in the woods, I told her that I would free her once she had thought about everything. Once that she had realized that she should stop meeting Stefan and especially Damon.

To make sure nobody could free her before she had thought about, I put a special spell on the cave, which said, that her friends couldn't hear or get her out of there. Of course Elena got really mad and started shouting mean things at me. But I walked away, hopping that she would calm down.

About an hour later it started raining and you could hear thunder. I was just wondering if I maybe should get there to get her out, when Damon and Stefan burst through my door. I didn't even have time to say or do something, when Stefan attacked me and started to drink from me. And then I was out cold and my last thought was 'Oh god, Elena...'

*Earlier at the boarding house*

Damon's P.O.V.

When I came through the front door, the first thing I could smell was blood. I followed the smell and on the stairs was a dead body, her throat clearly ripped out. 'Oh brother… Stefan's going ripper again..'. I was just about to take away the corpse, when I heard shouts and screams upstairs. Instantly I ran upstairs, to see Stefan drinking from Elena and she was fighting against him. I threw Stefan off of her, but he kept attacking her, I then took Elena, sped into the cellar and looked her in.

"It's for your own safety.", I quickly told her, before I took some vervain darts and sped upstairs to Stefan. When he attacked me I stabbed him with all the darts and right after he collapsed into my arms. "Great, one mess cleaned up…. Two to go." I said a loud and locked Stefan in another cellar.

When I reached Elena she was bleeding strongly and I had some pain to control myself. I took her out of there and opened my wrist. "What do you think you are doing?!" She shouted angrily at me. I only rolled my eyes and said right back. "Elena. You will drink this blood or you're going to die here. So, either you take it freely or I'll have to force you." She gave me some heated glares and spat back. "Never! I could turn into a vampire, if something happens! And you KNOW that I don't want to be one, I would…." I didn't let her finish, because I knew what was coming next.

But not respecting her wish, I forced my blood into her mouth and made her swallow. Normally I would have given her only some drops, but she was bleeding too much, so I had to give her quite a lot. As soon as I thought it was enough and that she would survive, I took my wrist away and was instantly met by hits and glares from Elena. "You can glare as much as you want, but I prefer you angry at me, then dead on my floor." I told her smirking knowing very well, that she would get angrier by that.

But what came next I hadn't expected. She looked my dead in the eyes, took some steps forward. 'She's about to kiss me!', I singed in my head over and over, but then I felt the burning in my back and soon the black spots before my eyes. "You're going to pay for that!" Elena spat, with a vervain dart still in her hands. She pushed this one deep in my tight and ran out of the house. 'Okay, she's really mad….'

Elijah's.P.O.V.

Some minutes later we arrived with Elena at the mansion. We were just climbing up the stairs, when Kol catched up on us. "Hey, finally found a girl?" He started teasing, but when he got a closer look at the girl in my eyes he was shocked. "Hey, what's she doing here?! And… What the hell! You killed her?" Kol shouted through the house, I wanted to silence him, but Rebekah was thankfully faster. "Listen closely, mutt. We didn't do anything! We found her like this, now you'll come with us and if I see you going to him, I swear I'll.." "Let's move. Or do you want to be in the staircase, when he comes back?" I quickly interfered, before that they would start fighting.

Without thinking, I moved Elena into my room and laid her on my bed. Elena looked so pale against the sheets…Before I could get more emotional; I turned away, away from the shocking truth, trying to ignore the cruel reality.

Rebekah had taken place in one of my chairs, which was facing my bed and Kol was in the other. After a while Kol stood up and started pacing around. "How could that happen?" He asked out of the blue. "We don't know how she got there, but she drowned." "She fell off Wickery Bridge?" Kol interjected. "No, in the woods. Somehow she got into that old, destroyed cave. And… because of the… the storm and the water, earth, mud and rocks fell into there. This… probably caused her to be blocked and… she… drowned… And now… now she's dead… and…" Rebekah told him, while trying not to cry. But before she could finished what she wanted to say, Kol spoke up again.

"Uhm, guys… Don't want to break it to you, but I don't think she's… dead. If you know what I mean…", Kol said while pointing to my bed. We slowly turned around to face the bed and just in that second, Elena sat up and when she saw us all she started screaming. Kol was so shocked that she screamed, that he slapped her really hard, which caused her to fall right back down again. "Guess, she's not that dead after all…" He said, while looking in my direction.

Hope you liked it and even if you didn't, let me know what you thought! :D
