CHAPTER 3 IS UP!

She felt weightless like she was airborne or floating in deep waters. She felt at rest, calm even, she just felt peaceful more she's ever had in the past year of her life. Her body just seemed like she was drifting on somewhere endlessly. She didn't even know if her eyes were opened or not; because everywhere that surrounded was a veil of dark shadows, not even transparent to her vampire sight. She soon began panicking that she was kidnapped and being held hostage, again. But that thought was shut down when she remembered staring into chocolate pools of brown that were the eyes of the man who sent shivers down her spine. Who never stopped surprising her and challenging her on end in front of her friends; none of them hearing the hidden words that struck home. And she knew they'd do something drastic like be completely convinced that he had compelled her. 'No.' Elena thought, 'Damon would take it to that extreme of levels.' The rest of her friends would question her; maybe Bonnie would perform a sort of truth spell. But Jeremy and Matt, and possibly Caroline and Stefan after they got over their initial shock would respect her; because that's what she felt. They learned by now that if anybody could change somebody like Kol it would be Elena.

Elena, thinking she had her eyes opened to the pitch black of the place she was stranded in, gazed straight up, fingers brushing gingerly through her hair. A thought came to her, flashing back to the hybrid bite. Elena laughed despite herself. 'If I'm dead, everyone's going to bring me back long enough to kill me for leaving them." A bitter jiggle rung through her words, 'Especially Rebekah,' Elena smiled wryly at that. 'After all we both managed to become like sisters over the last month or so.' Elena cringed at the memory when Rebekah had found out about her and Kol. Elena recalled the monstrous face of fury that ignited onto the Original sister's face, when she witnessed a kissed shared between Elena and Kol. But Rebekah soon grew used to tolerating Elena's company because she made her brother happy. But then Rebekah started snatching Elena away from Kol every chance she got, just to go shopping and any other normal teenage girl things that the Original had yet to experience.

'Yeah, Rebekah would kill me for missing on the girl time she had set up for us today.' Elena mumbled to herself but thought amusedly to herself when she realized she was worrying about what Rebekah and everybody else would do and not worrying about whether she was dead or not. 'Why did things like these have to happen to me?' Elena whispered the thought to herself, but she knew she wouldn't get an answer because she was met by complete eerie silence which made her eyes burn with tears. 'I'm alone, I'm really alone.'

To say the least she didn't know what to do. Nik had called her, filling her in briefly on what had happened that night. She paced back and forth, running her fingers restlessly through her messy blonde hair. She had thought something felt awfully wrong when Elena hadn't met up with her or even called or texted to let the Original sister know she wouldn't make their little shopping trip. Now Rebekah knew she should've gone with her gut feeling, her sky blue eyes traveled through the busted in door of Niklaus' study. She saw two figures lying on the couch. Kol had his back pressed against the wall, staring straight down into Elena's face. Elena looked angelic, peaceful as she lay in her brother's arms. It looked like somebody had stripped her of all her suffering and pain, of all the horrid and devastating things that had happened in her life. Rebekah almost didn't want to find a way to bring her out of her coma-like state. But Rebekah wanted Elena back, wanted to cherish that friend-sister bond that had developed, even, through all of the chaos and hate that had been between them.

And as Rebekah watched Kol hug Elena closer to him, caressing her face and pushing her dark hair out of her face, gently. Her head nestled into his chest. Kol soon raised his head, meeting his little sister's eyes with a far off, vacant look in his dark ones. Rebekah sighed, leaning against the threshold of the doorway, her head leaning against the wood as she gazed at her brother and Elena.

"We'll find a way to bring her back, you know we will." Rebekah reassured her brother. Kol nodded absentmindedly, placing his chin on the top of Elena's head, his arms still wrapped around her waist protectively. "After all, we aren't the Originals for nothing!" She tried to lighten up the mood, but Kol remained unresponsive and Rebekah chewed on her lower lip, worriedly, but was startled out of her reverie by her brother's deep voice, asking her a question.

"Where's Nik" Kol asked. Rebekah gazed out the window, responding without sending a single glance in her brother's way. She couldn't handle that haunted look in his eyes; they were empty of any emotion that had been present previously.

"He's explaining everything to the rest of Elena's friends, and to get the Bennett witch, Bonnie, to figure out what's going on with Elena." Kol said nothing more after that and Rebekah urged silently to their hybrid of a brother to hurry up. 'We don't know how long Elena has left, hurry up Nik!'
