Elena felt jittery as she looked around the now empty classroom. All today she had been spaced out and hadn't realized school was over till someone lightly shoved at her shoulder.
She woke up and the room was cleared out. Her mind finally worked quickly and she groped for her books. She darted up, ready to leave the classroom. But it slammed shut and everything seemed to go dark. Elena gasped and looked around fearfully.
She suddenly saw a dark slender silhouette. It lured closer as her breath caught in her throat. A languid finger came up to gently caress her cheek in a soothing yet threatening manner.
Her breath came out stuttering. "Don't be frightened," she cooed. Elena gulped and easily recognized the voice. "Katherine," Elena breathed out in an unrecognizable tone that neither of them could figure out.
"Mmm. You guessed right. I heard your little conversation with Stefan last night," she whispered in her ear, suddenly right behind her with her chest pressed closely against Elena's back.
Katherine's hand came up to press gently into Elena's hip. Grasping it intimately. Elena's back arched uncontrollably. Katherine's lips caressed her carotid vein. Her lips suddenly curled back and nipped gently at the supple flesh with her blunt teeth.
Elena felt herself melting into Katherine uncontrollably. She felt the distinct fangs brush against the same light-bruised spot she was just sucking on.
Elena gasped awake and she felt everything was blurry. She was in Stefan's bed. With him sleeping gently next to her. The back of her hand brushed the cold sweat from her forehead.
She quickly slipped out of the bed and went into the bathroom successfully without stirring Stefan at all.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dark and dilated. Her hair was matted with sweat. Her pallor was more pale. Which seemed unusual. There was a pulsating feel in her neck, as if it were sore.
She quickly swiped her hair over to the opposite side where the she felt the aching.
Faintly, there were two needle marks on her neck. She easily recognized what it was…..a vampire bite.
She gasped and felt something hit her. She doubled over quickly feeling a tugging feel reeling in her mind. Suddenly everything was a blur and darkening.
"Come on Elena. Haven't you ever wanted to know what a vampire bite feels like?" Katherine asked lowly, arching a perfect brow. Elena shivered. "Ok maybe I have. But you wouldn't be able to do that. My father slips vervain in our drinks every night at supper," Elena whispered.
Katherine smirked. It is now breaking dawn Elena. It's probably digested and out of your system," Katherine lured closer. Elena gulped. "Fine," she whispered unevenly.
Katherine came closer and her head inclined down. Her lips caressed the sensitive spot of her neck. She shivered in want when she felt Katherine's lips curl back against her skin. Her teeth lengthened and suddenly her teeth cut easily into her skin. Like butter.
Elena felt a title-wave hit her. She moaned by the force and felt her conscious stumbling. She gripped Katherine's curls for leverage. Katherine smirked inwardly. Elena's blood was free. Jonathan must've forgotten the vervain with tonight.
Elena felt a golden veil cloak over her mind hypnotically.
Behind her eyelids, she saw stars. Suddenly she saw darkness and then there was a swishing. She realized she saw Katherine's mind. It was dim and there was a image of a blonde man along with Katherine. But the clothes weren't the right era.
Elena suddenly felt recognition. It was when she was human. There was sadness, anger, repression, confidence, love, passion, and pleasure.
Katherine pulled back and flashed a bloody grin to Elena. Elena felt her conscious was wavering. What had she become now? Her family was suppose to loath vampires and kill them. But now she was willingly giving a vampire her blood.
Katherine bit into her wrist and then….
Elena gasped and her eyes opened. She was on the bathroom floor. She got up shakily. She looked around and knew she was alone. That was just another…flashback perhaps.
Something deep was between her and Katherine then. But the Elena she was back then, was way different from who she is now. She darted up and felt paranoia hit her.
"She must be close to be doing this to me," Elena whispered to herself horrified. She felt her sanity was twisting and turning. She looked around and suddenly her eyes stopped on the mirror.
She saw her own crazed reflection. It scared her honestly. With one blink and it was like memories of Katherine and Elena in 1864 splayed across the mirror. Elena blinked and grasped her head defiantly, willing all that away. Not wanting to see or have anything to do with Katherine.
Her knees wobbled and her conscious gave out. She fainted on the cold tiled floor of the bathroom.
…
Goosebumps erupted on the surface of her skin. She felt someone was trying to get her up. Faint sounds….which she decided were voices talking to Elena. Beckoning her to wake up, or something.
Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she saw Stefan was in front of her view and down at her level. There was also a blurry picture of Damon standing in the background, quiet as ever.
She looked at Stefan. "Elena what happened?" he asked genuinely concerned. "I-flash-I-Ka-1864- Katherine," Elena stuttered thickly. Stefan's eyes widened. "What?" Damon asked stupidly from behind them. Stefan turned to Damon.
"She knows."
Damon's features dropped and he stared at Elena. It all seemed too different now. He looked at her with recognition now. Like seeing a long-lost lover. Which was true in this case. Elena assumed dumbly.
"Why? Why does this have to happen to me," Elena sobbed to herself. Damon and Stefan just watched her breakdown on the ground, curling herself in a ball.
She got a thought in her head and she darted up and quickly ran out of the room. Damon and Stefan followed her in worry. "Elena what are you doing?" they demanded loudly, meekly following behind her. She stopped at the door and turned to them.
"Just leave me alone!" she screamed spastically and slammed the heavy door shut and ran out in the pouring rain. She found herself back in the woods.
"Katherine," she cried into the inky dark night. Cold raindrops pelted against her skin, but she was unfazed by it. Surprisingly Katherine quickly appeared in front of her. The rain matting her curls down.
She arched an eyebrow and Elena glared. "Stop it! I know you're doing all of this! Stop and just leave me alone!" Elena screamed over the loud thud of the heavy pelts of water hitting them. Katherine's features dropped into a emotionless façade.
Suddenly they could only hear the rain between them. "I don't want to," Katherine replied throatily and stubbornly. "Why?" Elena demanded. "I have my reason," Katherine gritted out.
"Tell me!" Elena persisted. "I have my reasons and soon enough you will figure it out yourself," she deadpanned. Elena's eyes watered and she felt the tears fall, but it blended in right along with the rain.
But Katherine easily noticed it when they slid down her cheek slowly. "You're going to torture me, just because you enjoyed playing with me back in 1864?" Elena asked rhetorically.
Katherine's brown orbs turned cold and deadly. "We were in love back then Elena. You just don't know it. But don't worry I'll convince you," she smirked, as she leaned in closer to Elena.
Elena shivered unwillingly. Stupid Katherine! Making her feel this way! "Gah! I don't care anymore! Just stay away from me!" she screamed tearfully and quickly turned back to run in some weird direction. She ran past the house.
Somehow she had a feeling that Stefan and Damon were intently keeping their eyes on her outside. They must've seen the encounter with her and Katherine.
She now didn't care at the moment. She kept on trudging through the wet woods. She shivered from the cold engulfing her. She found herself back at her house. Where Jeremy, Jenna, and Alaric were peacefully. No supernatural bothering them.
She slipped in quietly. Hearing the quiet signaled to her that everyone had gone to sleep by now. She gone up the stairs slowly. She got into her room and closed the door so it sealed her away from the whole world.
She snuggled deep into the covers and felt her conscious slipping into darkness.
Her dream was restless and she saw Katherine's face looming in the darkness.
"Darling, follow my voice," Katherine childish bell-like voice whispered. Elena felt herself almost compelled. Her movements were light and floating, she quickly moved towards the direction. Almost desperate to see her. Elena had no idea what was going on with her. Katherine was probably doing all of this to her.
She came to an empty basement room and saw Katherine was there. She was wearing a corset and some other stuff that Elena didn't know what it was. But it was the typical undergarments in the Victorian era.
Elena was frozen in her place and she just stared at Katherine. Katherine smirked playfully and came closer to Elena. Her hand came up to cup Elena's cheek almost lovingly in a sense. But Elena didn't believe that, it was just an illusion.
She leant closer and kissed her slowly on the lips. Elena shivered and felt herself unable to move against Katherine's advances.
Elena gasped awake and saw she was in her room still. She grabbed the pillow laying beside her and shoved it against her face in frustration to hide her cries of discontentment.
She set the pillow down and rolled over to sit up slightly on her stomach. She stared out into space, with one thought crossing her mind. Katherine will be the death of me.
