Chapter One
Elena's POV
Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven't written in a long time. This just hasn't been my week. Stefan broke up with me. He said that it would be best to not provoke Katherine anymore than she is. But I know it's more than that.. He still loves her. He won't admit it, but I know he does. It's the way he looks when her name is mentioned, his eyes light up for the shortest amount of time, but they dim down after. Even if it only for a short moment, the fact that his eyes light up, means he some sort of feeling left for her. I've gotten through it fairly well. You'd expect me to actually be breaking down and bawling my eyes out. But I didn't... For some reason, I think we both knew we wouldn't have lasted forever. After we broke up, I started spending my time with Damon. I know right, the other Salvatore brother. I didn't mean for it to happen. After he killed Jeremy, I didn't think that I could let him in again. Somehow, he managed to gain back my trust. I have a feeling that our friendship has turned into something more, and to tell you the truth, I'm scared of it. Anyways, it's getting late, and I should really get some sleep :)
- Elena xoxo
As I got ready for bed, I felt a slight breeze behind me. I turned around only to find Katherine standing in the middle of my bedroom.
"Why, hello Elena", She greeted.
"Katherine," I stuttered, "Why are you here and what do you want with me?"
"Well, isn't that the question everyone wants the answer to. Why am I here? Well that's going to have to remain unknown. What do I want with you? I can answer that. I want you to leave Mystic Falls, as well as my play things. Stefan belongs to ONLY me. You're nothing but a cheap replacement.", Katherine replied.
"What makes you think that I'll leave. He doesn't want you. You broke his hearts. The only emotion he feels towards you, is hate.", Elena spoke shakily.
"If you do, I can promise you that everyone will be safe. Isn't that what you want? You know what, don't answer that because I know what you're going to end up doing, but I'll give you forty-eight hours to figure it out yourself. However, I'm warning you, If you aren't gone by then, there will be hell to pay. People you love will die and this town will come crashing down.", Katherine replied smugly.
"Now with that being said, I hope you figure out what to do... actually I don't really care. Because either way, I'll get what I want. Goodbye Elena, sweet dreams"
I watched Katherine disappear into the night. I started to contemplate her offer. Even though I'd leave everyone I loved, at least they would be safe. At that moment, I knew what I was going to do.
(Salvatore Boarding House – The Next Morning)
Damon's POV
We were all crammed in the boarding's house. And by "we" I me the witch that needs anger management, the bubbly blond, the irritating young Gilbert, my bunny-eating brother, and the history teacher/vampire hunter. Why are we here you ask? I have no fucking idea. You don't expect to be dragged out of your room when it's fucking five-thirty in the morning.
"Why am I here with you people, instead of my room sleeping? In case you've forgotten, I'm a vampire. And vampires are creatures of the night, not creatures of the fucking morning!" I groaned in aggravation.
"Elena's gone"
If my un-dead heart had a heart beat, it would have stopped at that very moment.
My eyes snapped open.
" What the hell do you mean she's gone?", I demanded.
"Elena's missing. I think she's gone for good. Most of the things in her room are gone. But there was a letter on it that were left on her bed. I can't believe she just left..", Jeremy spoke warily.
The air was filled with silence.
"Well I think we should read it," Alaric spoke trying to break the awkward silence.
"Yeah, let's take a look," Stefan responded, his voice unable to detect any void of emotion.
Nobody's POV
"I'll read out aloud", Alaric volunteered.
Dear Everyone,
I'm sorry that everything had to come to this. I never wanted to leave all of you without any explanation. But considering the circumstance, I was in, the result of me leaving town was inevitable. I cannot tell you the reason that has caused be to leave Mystic Falls. But I just wanted let each one of you know that you won't have to worry about by well being, or my whereabouts. I'll be fine so please to don't worry. As this being my last words to you, I just wanted to let each one of you know:
Caroline – You've have always been, and always will be one of closest friends. I hope you are able to overcome your recent vampire transition. I know you will be able to do it. You have Damon and Stefan for guidance. I wish you the best for your "many" years to come.
Bonnie – Even though we've had some hardships and rough patches, you'll always be my best friend. My biggest regret will be never having the chance to fix the things between us. I know you don't understand why I let Stefan and Damon into my life after everything that has happened, but hopefully someday you'll realize that not all vampires are selfish blood-sucking monsters. To end on a good note, I just wanted to let you know that even though we've been through a lot, you will always be like a sister to me.
Jeremy- I know you're upset; I know I promised that I would always be there for you; I know I promised that it would always be you and me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I've broken all of these promises. I hope you know that I didn't intend it to be this way. I just need you to promise me something. Even though I couldn't keep mine, I need you to promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Stay strong. Don't shut everyone out like you did with Mom and Dad. I know that we've had to deal with more problems than the average teenager, but just remember, I'll always be your sister.
Alaric – Even though we haven't been very close, my only request from you is to take care of Jenna and Jeremy. You've been the closest thing to a father after the death of my parents, and I hope you can help everyone get through this... difficult time.
Stefan – I know our relationship was short lived, but I don't regret it. I don't really know what to say... We met, we fell in love, it ended. It was epic.
Damon – I never planned this. We've been through so much and I hate for it to end here. We've been through thick and thin, but our bond has always stayed strong. I'm sorry for leaving. I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused you. I know that you've tried time from time to convince me that our relationship was so much more than friends and that Stefan and I weren't meant to be. My biggest regret that I will carry for the rest of my life, will be that I didn't realize it anymore sooner. It took me a while to it out I did love Stefan, I just wasn't in love with him. I don't know if I really truly am in love with you though; Maybe it could have been something... I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to tell you in person, but there wasn't enough time... I have two things to ask from you. The first thing I have to ask from you is not shut out your humanity. The second thing I ask of you: Please try your best to keep Mystic Falls safe. Whether it be my family or friends, please protect them. Just know that after everything we've been through, you will always be my best friend (and who knows what it more it could have been).
After reading my letter to all of you, I hope it gives you some type of closure. Please don't try to look for me.
Elena
Just a few seconds after the letter was read, the Salvatore front door busted open.
"Katherine"
AN: Okay so basically this is my first little ficlet. I honestly don't know if it is any good...
Don't forget to review. I'd love to hear your feedback on whether I should continue this or not.
