Elena managed to get to her house without any more interruptions. She stumbled up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door with rage. Elena felt like ever since she met Stefan, her life had been going in a downward spiral. Everything around her was suddenly crumbling down to hell. Elena grabbed a lamp that was closest to her. With as much strength as much as she could muster up, she flung it to the wall that was opposite to her.
Elena froze. The lamp had made a large dent in the wall, and the lamp itself was broken into bits and pieces. "Oh my god." Was all that escaped Elena's mouth. She heard gasps and voices from all the way downstairs. Elena grabbed her ears with her hands, trying to block out the world around her. 'what the hell is happening to me!' Elena thought.
She was cradled on the floor when Alaric, Jenna, and Jeremy came busting into her room. "What the heck happened here?" Jenna screamed at the scene around her. Alaric and Jeremy weren't shutout from answers like Jenna was though, they knew something supernatural was going on here. Alaric knelt down beside her. "Elena. Elena, are you okay? What happened?" He asked with serious concern for the girl, who was almost technically his step-daughter.
Elena didn't look up at him, she seemed to be completely consumed in her senses around her. She kept looking at Jenna as if she were a piece of meat, but then would turn to the window in fascination... as if she could see something out there they the rest of them couldn't. Then Elena shook her head violently, and she wouldn't stop. Alaric and Jeremy had to work to together to pin her down, just to keep her from hurting herself.
"GET HER OUT OF MY HEAD!" Elena kept screeching over and over again. Jenna clutched her chest. She had never seen her niece in such a scary manner. Little did poor Jenna know that there had been worse happenings going on lately.
Then Elena calmed down and seemed to have fainted. Alaric looked over to Jeremy with a frantic look in his eyes. "Go call Stefan and Bonnie." Alaric told him with a firm voice. Jeremy nodded his quickly and scrambled down the halls, rushing to find a phone anywhere in the house.
Elena woke up to see she was lying in her own bed. She remembered everything that had happened and begged to god that this was all a dream but to her dismay, it wasn't. Bonnie slowly entered the room. "Hello Elena." She said with a odd voice. Elena could tell that her own best friend was suspicious of her. "Hey Bonnie." Elena said in reply. There was a pregnant silence, like they wanted to just spill everything out to each other like they could not so long ago but this was different. In fact, everything was different from those days.
"Bonnie, something's wrong with me." Elena whispered, not making eye contact with the witch. "I know, and I'm here to help you." Bonnie came and sat beside her. Bonnie took Elena's hand as gently as she possibly could and then held onto it. Bonnie started to focus all of her power through Elena's hand.
All Elena felt was slight pressure throughout her body, but what Bonnie was feeling... was far worse. Bonnie saw blurs of dead bodies, blood, and pure destruction; but those were supposed to be Elena's memories... that couldn't be correct. Bonnie supposed she could have mess up the spell but she started to feel all of Elena's emotions. Anger, Lust, and a slight bit of love here and there. It was slightly disturbing since most humans felt a different range of emotions. Bonnie noticed pictures in Elena's mind. There was one of Stefan and Damon but they both were wearing attire from around the 1800s. The next one was odd, it was off a little girl; the girl had brown hair and brown eyes that matched Elena's perfectly. Bonnie pulled out of Elena's hold.
Bonnie had seen more death around Elena than she had with even Stefan when she had accidently touched him once. Bonnie's heart was beating a mile a minute as she stood up slowly, never talking her eyes off Elena's and she made her way out of the room walking backwards.
Bonnie ran downstairs to the living room. Jenna was rubbing her head just as she had been doing before Bonnie went up, She supposed Jenna was not liking the fact that Mystic Falls is a supernatural magnet and her niece was dating vampire. Alaric jumped up from the couch. "So what's wrong with her?" He demanded to know.
Bonnie sighed. "Well, Katherine has obviously invaded her mind. She doesn't know anything that Katherine thinks, remembers, or feels but she does have all the powers that Katherine has." Bonnie informed him. Alaric sighed and both of them turned to see Jeremy stalk into the room. "Stefan still hasn't answered and it's starting to piss me off!" He grumbled.
"You don't suppose something's happened to him, do you?" Alaric asked. "It's possible. Right now, it seems like we're all puppets in Katherine's master plan." Bonnie whispered.
Elena sat in her bed. She was curious as to what had frightened Bonnie so much. Was she really that messed up in the head? Her thoughts drifted to Damon. She knew she would have to get out of the house without anyone knowing so she could sneak over to the Boarding house, get Stefan, and go find Damon. She knew her plan wouldn't be so hard with her new powers.
She slipped out of bed and ran to the window. She was so fast and graceful, not a single one of her footsteps had been heard by even herself. She opened her window and jumped to the ground, not even using the tree to climb down. 'Well, I think I could get used to his whole vampire powers thing.' Elena thought. She got in her car (though she was sure she could be faster on foot) and started driving towards the boarding house.
When she got there, she noticed that all the lights were still on... just like when she left. It was odd, because by this time at night, Stefan would either be hunting or asleep. Elena went up to the door, only to find it slightly opened. She went inside and saw that the house was trashed. Furniture was broken and thrown around every room, there was glass scattered around all over the floor, and even the walls were crumbling here and there.
But on the floor, Elena noticed a note out of all the wreckage. She picked it up and felt her anger spike at what it said. 'Dear Elena, sorry the house is a mess. Stefan was hard to convince to come with me. I guess he wanted to play a little "Kat and mouse" with me! Oh well, maybe you'd like to join us; all you have to do in think like me and you'll know where to find us. I love the mind games we play but some far, I think I'm winning~!
Signed with Love~ Katherine.'
All Elena wanted to do was throw it into the still burning fireplace, but knew that this note was an important clue as to where she would find Stefan. But before she could even think about rushing in and attempting to kill Katherine, she would have to find Damon first. And the only place she could think of to find him was... Georgia.
Elena had been driving for hours on end and still she strangely, didn't feel tired. Maybe it was because she was very determined or maybe it was the 5 Redbulls that she had drank, and all in a row. When she came to the bar that Damon had taken her to a while back, she noticed that the place was boarded up. She supposed it went out of business, when in reality Damon had killed the owner, Bree for trying to get him killed.
Elena walked to the back of the old bar and saw the door wide open, welcoming anyone to walk in. She could heard Damon inside, drinking from a bottle of alcohol. He most likely heard her too, but just didn't really care that she was here. She stepped inside and saw him at the bar, just drinking his undead life away. He turned sharply to her. "Well well, if it isn't Miss perfect herself! I was just thinking about you, ya know? I was just thinking about how no one but that brooding brother of mine could please you because your miss queen 'I got a stick up my ass and need everything and everyone to be perfect'. Well, guess what honey! No one's perfect, it's in the bible!" Damon's words were slurred every now and again but still it hurt Elena that she was the one who was making Damon act this way.
Elena flashed by his side. He blinked "Whoa, I must be really drunk right now. Cause I swear you just popped over here at vampire speed but I can still hear your heart beating. Weird." Damon murmured. "That's why I'm here Damon. Katherine somehow has taken control of my mind and now I have vampire abilities just like hers. The problem here is that, now she has kidnapped Stefan and expects me to find out where they are. Damon, I really need your help." She begged.
Damon rolled his eyes, "Well, I've done everything else you've said so why wouldn't I do this?" He stated sarcastically. "Damon, this isn't the time for jokes. Okay? We need to save Stefan and the rest of Mystic Falls!" She exclaimed. "So what? Another vamp can come to town and turn everything topsy-turvy again? No thanks, I think I'll pass this little adventure up." Damon scoffed. Elena huffed, then grabbed the bottle he was holding and drank some herself.
"And I don't have a stick up my ass..." Elena mumbled in annoyance. Damon turned from her and cracked a smile so she couldn't see it. After a least twenty minutes of complete silence, Damon realized he couldn't say no to Elena. Actually, he'd known that a long time but had been trying his hardest to fight it when she asked him to come back with her. "Fine, you win. I'll come back." He growled out.
Elena looked over at him with a victorious smirk. She lead the way out of the bar and back to her car. Damon went and got in his own car and started to follow Elena's down the road.
As Elena was driving down the road something hit her. Damon had always been there for her. She realized it before but now she could see that even when he wasn't near her he was looking out for her. Elena didn't know how she could care so much for someone who tried to kill her brother, turned her mother, tried to kill Bonnie, and used Caroline. Maybe Elena did have something wrong with her but she couldn't help it. She knew there was good inside Damon whether he believed so or not. And he had proved himself to be good by coming back with her now to save his brother and town.
Elena sighed, she had been denying feeling anything romantic for Damon but she had felt something down in her heart. She hated how every time she said she didn't love him, Damon was extremely hurt. 'Maybe this is what Katherine felt with these two men?' Elena wondered but she doubted it. Katherine was nothing but a cold monster, who had pitted two brother's against each other for fun. It disgusted Elena, because both Damon and Stefan should have been treated better than that. She just hoped that Katherine wasn't coming back to Mystic Falls so she could repeat history with the two brothers.
