Hi ;)
New story…hopefully someone's interested?
I'm DelenaRain, and I'm a HUGE Delena shipper :D
Like. Ob. Sess. Ed. :P
If you guys like this story at all…please review? Or if you want me to continue?
I currently am writing 2 other stories at the same time: my collection of Damon/Elena one shots, and 'Shattered Hearts', a DE fic where Damon doesn't want to forgive Elena for her choice in 3x22. If you're interested, check out my profile ;)
BTW, this is set after 4x01. ELENA IS NOT A VAMPIRE IN THIS STORY. SHE SWAM OUT OF THE CAR AFTER MATT ;)
Review, as always :)
"I don't know, Bonnie. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this." Elena sighed as she looked around the old witch burial ground. Bonnie had already done so much for her…did she really have to do this too?"
"Relax, Elena." Bonnie rolled her eyes. "This is easy peasy, I swear. Besides, I really want to do this for you."
Elena sighed again. Was this really a good thing, though? Maybe she shouldn't be messing with the future. Maybe it wasn't a good idea.
"I'm excited!" Caroline exclaimed, interrupting Elena's thoughts. "This will show you that Stefan will always be good for you!"
The three girls were standing in the old witch house, all alone. No one could know about this, especially not Stefan or Damon.
Damon. Elena cringed just thinking about him. She'd put him through so much pain the last couple of weeks. She wished there were a way to repair the damage inside him she'd already done.
Caroline bounced around happily as Bonnie began lighting the candles.
"Elena, Stefan is the one, I swear! I bet you when you go into the future, you'll see you and Stefan having the time of your life somewhere! No matter what he does, Stefan. Is. The one."
Elena groaned. She was getting really sick of Caroline's persistent nagging about Stefan, although she was really only trying to be a good friend.
"Okay, Elena. Come sit down on your knees over here."
Bonnie had finished lighting the candles, and the room was dark, giving it an eerie, orange glow.
"Tell us everything you see, okay? I want every detail! Do you hear me, Elena Gilbert?" Caroline said giddily.
Earlier that day, Bonnie had told Elena there was a way she could send her into the future to see two different lives she could lead: one with Stefan, and the other…with Damon.
"Look, Elena. You obviously are super worried about you hurting Damon right now. But you need to know that you made the right choice! This spell will send you into the future." Bonnie had said. "It will show you two of your possible futures: one where you have picked Stefan, and the other where you have picked Damon."
Elena rolled her eyes at the memory from earlier this morning. Bonnie and Caroline had been so excited, so eager when they realized they could show her that Stefan was the one.
And he was, right? She'd have a great future with him.
But she was far more scared of the future she would learn about with Damon. What if it was…good?
"Elena! You have to come sit on your knees!" Bonnie repeated.
"Oh. Sorry." Elena knelt down on her knees in front of Bonnie.
"Okay, listen to me. The first one you'll see is the future you'll have if you pick Stefan. You'll be in there for what seems like 5 minutes to you, but in reality it will be hours."
Bonnie told her.
"Will people be able to see me?" Elena asked.
"No. Otherwise, you'd be messing with the future. No one will see you, you'll be invisible. Like a ghost."
Elena shivered. "Um, okay."
"One last thing. You will be leaving the room, it won't just be happening in your head. Your body will actually disappear, okay? But you'll come back. Here, take this necklace."
Bonnie handed Elena an old crystal. She took off her vervain necklace and replaced it with the crystal.
"When you want to get out of the future, squeeze the necklace, alright? And remember, you're seeing your future with Stefan first, okay?"
Elena nodded. "Okay. Can we just get this over with?"
Caroline grinned. "Oh, Elena, this is great! You can finally see that Ste-"
Elena silenced her with a look made of daggers.
She turned back to Bonnie.
"Oh, and one more thing, Elena. You're going ahead three years in time, alright?"
Elena nodded, and then closed her eyes. Bonnie began to chant.
And then suddenly, the room was a blur, and she felt herself being lifted into the air. Bonnie and Caroline watched with wide eyes, and then it was just darkness.
Elena jolted awake. She was standing in a dark room. All the curtains were closed, the lights turned off. A dim light shone through a half open blind. It looked to be early in the morning, or late in the evening.
A soft whimper filled the air. Elena spun around, trying to find the source of the noise.
There was a bed in the middle of the room. A dark shape lay on it, horrible sounds coming from its mouth.
Were those…sobs? Elena didn't like this, not one bit at all. Where was her future self and Stefan?
Elena squinted at the shape. Oh god.
It was her.
She let out a shriek and backed away. What in hell?
Her future self was lying on the bed, dark bruises covering the majority of her body. She was dressed in a dirty, unwashed lingerie set, her dark brown hair falling into her eyes. And she was crying. Future Elena looked about 21, as Bonnie had said she was going 3 years into the future. And she looked to still be human.
Suddenly, the door swung open, and in walked…no, it couldn't be.
Stefan.
There was blood dripping from his mouth, and veins under his eyes, which were red and terrifying.
"Get up, you bitch." Stefan said hoarsely, grabbing Future Elena by the arm and tugging her out of bed.
Real Elena gasped in shock. Suddenly, she realized where she was: Stefan's apartment in Chicago. His ripper home.
Future Elena whimpered, trying to feebly push Stefan off. "Stefan, please…"
Real Elena was shocked at her future self's voice. It was broken, and desperate. She sounded like she'd been put through hell. And maybe she had.
Stefan smiled a cold, sinister, smirk, that didn't reach his eyes. It wasn't like Damon's warm, amused ones. It was cold, lifeless…and evil.
He grabbed Future Elena and pushed her to the ground, and began beating her with his fists. "This is what you get for begging, Elena."
Real Elena doubled over and wretched, sickened by the site in front of her. Her fingers instinctively went to her necklace, but she forced her hand back to her side. She had to stay strong. She needed to see more.
Stefan eventually stopped beating Future Elena, who was sobbing her heart out by now. He stepped off of her and walked through the front door. Future Elena curled up into a ball, crying harder. Stefan walked back through the door with 2 pretty young girls in his arms.
The girls were crying and shaking, but he brought them up in front of Future Elena, who gasped and backed away in horror. Stefan smiled cruelly.
"Watch." He said, and, right in front of the horrified eyes of Future Elena, snapped the 2 girls necks and tore open their throats.
Future Elena screamed and backed away, but he pulled her closer.
Real Elena could barely take this. She threw up again, clutching her stomach. This couldn't be the Stefan she knew. He'd obviously lost control, gone off the rails again and become a ripper. And he was forcing her to stay with him.
Stefan leaned towards Future Elena and held the one of the girl's bleeding neck to her mouth. "Drink, sweetie." He said cruelly.
Future Elena shook her head. "N-no!" She cried. "Stay away from me, Stefan!"
Stefan snarled and pulled Future Elena to him, forcing the girl's neck to her mouth. He held her head down and forced her to drink the human blood.
Real Elena threw up for a third time. This was sickening. Stefan was a monster.
Stefan smiled at Future Elena again and pulled the girl away. Future Elena choked up the blood, and Stefan smacked her.
"Bad girl. Now you must be punished."
Real Elena turned away as she heard the sound of clothes being torn. She trembled violently, reaching for her necklace and squeezing harshly. She had to get out of here, now.
Darkness overtook her, and she closed her eyes, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Elena's eyes shot open, and she looked around to see Bonnie and Caroline staring at her.
"Elena? You were only in there for an hour! That means it must have only been like 5 minutes for you! Didn't you want to stay?" Bonnie asked, shocked.
"Tell us what happened!" Caroline said excitedly. "Every detail!"
Elena's eyes filled with tears and she began to sob.
"Elena? What happened in there?" Bonnie cried, hugging Elena tight. Caroline hugged Elena too, her eyes wide.
Elena continued to cry. "Stefan…ripper…forced…evil…. blood…." She couldn't get the words out.
Bonnie and Caroline got the message.
"Oh god, Elena…" Caroline's eyes were filled with sympathy.
Bonnie's were filled with uncertainty.
"Do you still want to see your future with Damon?" She asked softly.
Elena thought about it for a moment. She nodded. "Yes, I do."
"Alright." Bonnie said. She and Caroline let go of Elena, who wrapped her arms around herself and scrubbed the tears off.
Bonnie began to chant, and Elena closed her eyes, wondering what in the world her future with Damon could be like…
