It didn't take Bonnie long to get to Elena's house, she heard the panic in her friend's voice and knew it was really important. Her friend was still shaking slightly when she got to her house.
"Elena what happened?" Bonnie asked after they had taken a seat in the kitchen.
Elena breathed in deeply, trying to control the rambling thoughts in her head. "I keep having these strange dreams, they are almost like memories, but I never recognize any of the people. Except one, he's always in the dreams. But he never looks the same." Elena tried to conjure up an image of the man, and instantly there were several versions of his beautiful face in her mind. The only thing that was ever the same was... "His eyes. They never change, always the same bright blue. Thats how I know it is the same man."
"Elena.. how long have you been having these dreams?"
She racked her brain trying to remember the first dream she had like this. "Um.. I think since the night Stefan left."
Bonnie looked thoughtful for a moment, "Have you told Damon?"
Rolling her eyes, Elena scoffed. "No, since that night he hasn't been very talkative lately. I think he really misses Stefan."
Stefan had left just a few weeks prior with Klaus after getting a cure for a werewolf bite for Damon. Elena had thought for sure that Damon was a goner, until Katherine brought the cure. However, that happened after Elena kissed Damon. Further confusing her growing feelings for the eldest Salvatore.
Bonnie nodded, knowing that though Damon was a real ass, he loved his brother. "Elena..this is going to sound crazy but I think I might know what those dreams are."
"At this point, nothing could surprise me Bonnie." Elena said with a soft sigh.
"Well first, I don't think they are dreams I think they are memories. And Second...I think they are your memories..." Bonnie looked at her friend nervously, trying to gauge her reaction.
Elena's brows furrowed in confusion, "How can those be my memories Bonnie, not only do I not remember them, but they weren't even from this time."
"Thats the tricky part, I think that these are memories from past lives. Like reincarnation. It isn't super common but there are special cases. Like with soul mates."
Elena had a glimpse back into her dream, the man said that she was his soul... "You mean that I am having memories of my soul mate?"
Nodding, Bonnie began explaining her theory. "Well it would explain why the dreams felt like memories. It also explains the eyes. Everyone says that your eyes are the window to your soul, so it makes sense that his eyes are the one thing that has never changed."
All of this made sense to Elena but this was just too much to handle. Couldn't there be one part of her life that wasn't touched by the supernatural? Guess not. After everything with Stefan, and her confusing feelings for Damon, and now these dreams... when did she get a break?
Bonnie saw her friend's inner turmoil. She had lost so much, they all had. It wasn't fair that they weren't able to have normal lives.
She moved toward Elena, putting an arm around her. "I know it is a lot to take in Elena, but everything happens for a reason, right?"
Elena nodded, knowing it was true. She would just let this whole thing play out and see where it went from there.
That night Elena headed to the boarding house, it had been a few days since she had talked to Damon...since the kiss.
As soon as she walked in the door she was greeted by the familiar sight of Damon sitting by the fire, nursing a glass of Bourbon.
"Hello, Elena" She rolled her eyes at the familiar drawl; typical, he was just going to act as if everything was completely normal.
Moving across the room, she seated herself on the couch near him. "Damon, I thought you said you were going to help me get Stefan back? Last I checked, he wasn't hiding at the bottom of your glass."
His face tightened and his mouth contorted in a sarcastic grin, "Aren't you just hilarious? Really, you are simply to die for." He took another swig of Bourbon, "and FYI, I said I would let you know about any information on little boy lost."
Elena huffed in annoyance, something Damon was very used to seeing. However, he could tell something was off, more than just Stefan's disappearance. "You okay?" Damon asked, furrowing his brows.
"It's nothing, just worried about Stefan."
Damon cocked an eyebrow at her, "Really, Elena? Lying? I thought we were past all that now."
She sighed, knowing how stubborn Damon could be. It couldn't hurt to tell him what had been going on. They were friends now, and hey, maybe he knew something about these dreams. He's been around long enough to have possibly heard about it.
"I keep having these dreams.." She started but was rudely cut off, "Oh Elena, naughty, naughty. If you wanted to see if I look as good naked as I do in your dreams, all you have to do is ask."
"Ugh! Can't you just take one thing seriously?"
Damon's eyes softened a bit, and he nodded for her to continue.
"Thank you," She said before continuing to tell him about her dreams. When he seemed interested, she explained in greater detail what happened in the dreams. She could remember each one with perfect clarity, better than she could remember what she had for breakfast that morning.
At the end, Damon actually looked dumbfounded. "Well..That is certainly something." His brows knitted together as he tried to work something out in his mind, "Wait, you said that Judgey told you these are probably memories from a past life?"
Elena nodded, "From several, because the man in my dreams never looks the same. Like I said, his eyes are the only way I could tell he was the same person." She sighed and looked towards the fire, "He seems so familiar Damon, it is really strange."
Damon didn't have anything to say to this, he had never heard of this happening before. "We can add this onto our supernatural to-do list."
"Yeah like we need anything more to worry about. Let's just focus on finding Stefan, okay? I'll be fine, as long as I don't start getting sucked into these dreams, I think I'll be able to handle them."
Damon gave a short laugh, "You just jinxed yourself. Now that you said it, it is totally going to happen." Damon laughed again and Elena even joined him, knowing that with her luck, this was a real possibility.
They talked for a while longer before Elena decided it was time to head home, she didn't want to worry Jeremy or Alaric. Damon walked her to the door and decided to pull her in for a hug, the girl really could use more of them with all the tragedy in her life.
He kissed her forehead and as he pulled back he stared straight into Elena's into his eyes for a moment she gasped. That startling shade of pure blue, that blue that just wouldn't leave her head.
The blue that told her this was the same man she had fallen for, lifetime after lifetime.
Now Elena knows that Damon is her soul mate! Please review! They make me really happy =]
