She laid there among the burning rubble. Her legs ached and she looked down to see them finally starting to set back in place and she took a deep breath. She looked up to see her blond friend screaming and then his hand went through her chest and her heart was pulled out of her. "No" she whispered as her voice box started to come back in place, she coughed trying the make her voice more noticeable but nothing worked. She reached her broken arm outwards to drag herself forwards and screamed at the aching pain. Sobs escaped her lips and she couldn't help whine for her. She couldn't hear anyone her as the rumble around her burned high and louder than before. She never knew she would call for his help but Damon and Jeremy were trying to fight the battle.
"Klaus" she yelled and looked to her side to see him fight Silas once again and she started to let the tears slip, he fought for Caroline, his love for her was strong and now that she was dead he let his anger out on him, but Silas was too powerful and even Klaus, the world's oldest vampire/werewolf and first ever hybrid knew this battle would end badly for him.
"Elena" Jeremy yelled and the girl gasped as he ran towards her. Fear was shown all over his face as he ran to her with a gun and stake in hand. She dragged herself up and could feel her legs perfectly again and stood still at the sight around her. Mystic falls, a town once so pure, clean, friendly and harmless was now a town of crumbled buildings burning around her, corrupted, cold and toxic. The grill was now a barrier the was on fire and she hid behind from the powerful witch, Elena looked towards her left to see Klaus being defeated by Silas, Damon was fighting their friends as they tried to kill him and Jeremy was shaking Elena to get out of her daze.
"Elena, come on, Go!" Jeremy yelled and grabbed his elder sister by the hand and ran towards the apartment block that wasn't standing anymore. Jeremy ran faster than Elena expected and held his arm in front of his eyes to protect them from the blazing fire around them. Elena held onto her waist coat trying to keep in the small bottle of black liquid. She ran to keep up with her twenty seven years old brother when her coat fell. Elena tugged away from her brother but he held onto her more.
"It fell" she tried to scream but nothing came out. Once Jeremy had her safely behind the rumble she managed to cough out what she needed to say before running out to get the coat before he could stop her. She looked up to see Carol Lockwood holding the coat and her eyes completely black as she mumbled words mainly one, Tyler. Elena leaned backwards as she crouched and nodded her head as if she knew what she was saying. She slowly put her hand on the coat that hung away from her tight grip and wiped it out of her arms before she could react. Carol started to scream at Elena and when she looked around her more people of mystic falls looked at her and started to drag their bodies towards her. Elena shivered at the sight of all the people walking in zombie like mode.
"Get the cure" Silas roared and they all started to repeat his words as they came towards her. Elena growled and ran back towards Jeremy who started to shot towards the town people. As Elena jumped over the rubble Jeremy threw a grenade over towards them and it exploded killing of at least a dozen of them.
"Jeremy, we can't stay here. We need to help Klaus and Damon" Elena said quietly as they hid under the tunnels of mystic falls. They has decided to camp there after Damon forced them to run from the fight and hide away until he came back, which seemed unlikely. Jeremy shook his long black hair and wiped the sweat of his forehead, he has been practising to be a hunter for almost ten years for moments like this but now without his mentor by his side this seemed impossible. Jeremy leaned back against the wall and wrapped his arms around his vampire sister, none of this was meant to happen. They sat in silence for a few hours until Elena thought it was time to talk about all the people they had lost as she knew it was affecting Jeremy more then he led on.
"I think we should have a funeral" she said trying to pull a smile on her face and he looked at her in a horror filled face
"We're not giving up now" he said seriously and Elena laughed a little and bit her lip to control the laughter. She shook her head and leaned down on the ground, creating tombstones with the sand on the ground.
"No, not yet. For the people we've lost Jer, for the friends we lost, and the family" she said making the last tombstone and placing a cross sign on it.
"This is for… Tyler" she said gulping at the end of her sentence remembering how the hybrid died in front of Jeremy only three weeks ago. Tyler was protecting him when Silas made his presence clear to them and stopped the world's most powerful witch from killing Jeremy by creating a fight with him. Jeremy nodded his head and bit down on his lip, trying to push away the tears of his loyal friend's death. Elena placed a pebble onto of the sand and grabbed another for the next grave
"Elijah" she said allowed with grief. The noble original had tried to barging with Silas over the cure when he had received it and then it went missing, Silas was too impatient to wait for the original to find it and decided to kill him as punishment. Elena placed the pebble on the sand again to mark its acknowledgement. Jeremy came down to her leave and grabbed a pebble that rested in her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it before placing it on the ground
"For my wife Bonnie and my twins" he mumbled before wiping a tear away and standing up and Elena nodded remembering how her beautiful petit friend has been drained of her powers by Silas and then had no energy to make her organs work which resulted in her death and of her unborn twins.
"Matt" Elena said taking a deep breath, she wiped eyes as she remember seeing her best friends face as Silas ripped his neck open for the ritual that had taken place two weeks ago so he could bring the zombies to life. Elena kissed the pebble like Jeremy had done for Bonnie, Matt was like her brother and she loved him as if he was hers.
"I guess we have to do one for Rebekah" she said drawing a grave beside Matt's with her index finger. The selfish blond had tried to save Matt's life, which was more like revenge it but she was no match for the wicked witch. She placed a pebble on the grave even though the girl killed Elena she found very little respect for courage to save Matt, or the anger to revenge him in a way.
"Kol" Jeremy said walking back in from where he had left to. Elena looked at him in a confusing way but he was getting his feelings out there and that's what she wanted him to do. Kol was cocky and his ego larger than his own blood line creation had got in the way and that was how Silas felt as he ripped his head off. Elena marked a 'K' over his sandy small grave so its looked like all the other graves who held the first letter of each of their name. Elena listed out her friends in the order of their death and came to another one that made her slip a gasp
"Stefan" she whispered and held the pebble towards her chest. In his last moments he had kissed her lips softly and promised her he had always loved her and never stopped when she left him for Damon. She placed the pebble on the sand and closed her eyes before reopening them as fast as possible as she relived his death. It was only two days ago when they and Caroline were running from a burning building. She had thought the cure was in her coat but lost it in the burning school and that was when Stefan had kissed her and ran back for it, he threw it towards Caroline who caught it with her vampire skills before he burned slowly in front of them. Elena put down the tiny musty pebble and sighed as she counted up the graves.
"It's done" Elena said standing up and wiping the tears away from her eyes. Jeremy put his arm around her to comfort her and looked at each grave, his face full of grief.
"Where's Caroline's? he asked softly and Elena looked at him with a confused face and rose an eyebrow before she realised what he was saying. She placed her hand to her mouth and started to take in deep breaths.
"Oh my god.. Care. She's gone.. She's gone" Elena wailed and fell to the floor. She held her side to realise she has lost everyone apart her brother, husband and a distant friend. She wailed more, blaming herself for what had happened to her friends and what is still happening. Elena stood up and grabbed the cure before storming away from Jeremy who called after her. She came above high ground and towards the grill where Damon was bound by Silas power in a metal barred cage and Klaus along with him. They hung in the air as if they were hanging themselves. Elena looked at them with horror and until Jeremy came up and placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him with pleading eyes and he understood what she wanted and nodded in agreement.
"Silas, show your face you coward!" Elena yelled towards thin air as Jeremy waited by her side. Damon and Klaus hung watching them, mouths opened to shout words but nothing came out. Elena waited in the cold air when a familiar face appeared out of nowhere, it was April Younge. She held the same soulless eyes filled with blackness and looked at them with her head cocked to the side as she started to laugh hysterically. She reached her hand out forwards while keeping the other placed on her stomach as if she was pregnant and then Elena realised that she was before she died, it was Matt's.
"Give me the cure Elena" She giggled and reached her hand out more and Elena saw it covered in mud and grey flakes as if she had travelled from the grave to get here, which she possibly did. Elena knew that some people like Liz Forbes and even Jonathan her biological father had dug their way through their coffins and the earth to get here. April stopped laughing and shielded her hands over her womb that contained nothing but a dead infant and winced wildly. She fell to the floor and her body started to fade away in grey flakes. Elena felt a rush of wind around her and she spun around to see Jeremy missing but instead saw the muscular figure of the witch himself, Silas. Elena never got this close to him to see his features but he was god like. He was strong and muscular looking with piercing brown eyes and extremely dark brown hair that was cut short and spiked that made him seem young as her even though he was old as the originals. Elena found it hard not to look at his body as he only wore jeans and shoes and she was purely convinced she had seen him before.
"Drooling is a bad habit Miss Gilbert, I know I'm smashing" he said wiggling his brown eye brows at her and she scoffed and she shook her head towards his horrible comment.
"Smashing? More like disgrace" She spat taking a step closer to him, trying not to show how terrified she was of him. He laughed at her and ran his hand through his hair and laughed more before starting to circle her.
"If I remember correctly you said I was the perfect Hollister model" he said and she let her face fall. It all made sense now, she knew she saw him before and she did, it was only a month ago when Caroline dragged her wedding dress shopping up state when they decided to hit the Hollister shop and there he was. He was trying to bribe both of them for a drink with him but they refused. Elena didn't know what to say she held her ground and refused to look him in the eye.
"You know I can smell the fear you hold Elena, it's as bad as a wet dog" He whispered into her ear and she pushed him away, she bit down on her lip trying to stop herself from attacking him and yet throwing herself on him, she looked up towards the metal cage to see Jeremy inside lying flat on the ground and his eyes closed. Elena walked away from Silas and towards the cage before she felt a hand grip onto her wrist and she looked up at him in disbelief.
"Let them go" She yelled at him and he smirked in a devilish way before laughing once again. His laugh was cruel and twisted, it was full of darkness. He grabbed her other hand that held the cure in it and he raised his eye brow before grinning like a cheshire cat. Elena pulled her arm away fast and ran in vampire speed towards the metal cage and looked at her beloved. She held up the little glass bottle and dangled it above the fire and smirked her own back as his smile dropped
"Don't be stupid Elena, we know this can go terribly wrong… for you" he said walking towards her and around the fire. She let it slip out of her hand before catching it again and smiling again and he got the message of coming closer was risking the cure. Elena knew how desperately he wanted it, but for what
"Let's make a deal. I give you the cure and you bring them back, all of them back and reverse time when only little knew about the supernatural way of mystic falls or something like that" She said and his face widened into a smile of pure delight and evilness. He nodded his head slowly and Elena sighed handing it over before she fell into a pit of darkness.
