Thanks for the nice comments DanicalovesDamonSalavtore, and I am glad you have chosen to stop reading dove as I obviously can't please you and wouldn't want to waste your time. I prefer it in this kind of dialogue though, so thanks for the help. Enjoy guys.
Chapter 3
Elena eyes opened slowly and closed again, she repeated this a few times, she still felt thirsty. She licked her lips to try and moisten them and felt the fangs graze on her tongue. It wasn't a dream then? She thought to herself. I feel powerful; Rebekah won't be able to break me so easily now I guess. Where am I? What is that amazing smell? Elena sat up and turned her head slightly to see a sleeping Caroline. Stefan was sat on a chair in the corner of the room. It was dark. Very dark, like it was night time. "How are you feeling?" Stefan sounded tired. "What is that smell? It smells wonderful." "That would be your brother who is down stairs sleeping." Elena's fists clenched "What? He needs to go! I don't want to hurt him." "I will let him know you're ok and tell him to go home, Caroline?" "Mmmhmmm" "Can you go get me some blood bags while I take Jeremy home?"
Caroline shot up and upon realising Elena was awake she grabbed her into a hug. "Hi, welcome back; how are you, do you feel thirsty? I will go get you some blood straight away." Elena chuckled and smiled at the familiarity. "Hi, Caroline." "I will be straight back." Caroline shot off down stairs and was back in seconds with as many blood bags as she could carry. "Is this enough?" Stefan was now looking amused at how Caroline was acting. "I think that's probably too many Caroline. I will be back as soon as I drop Jeremy off." "Stefan? Where is Damon?" Elena had remembered the night's events, she remembered the pain in his eye and also the things he said, she wanted him to know that she doesn't blame him, but that she needed space to come to terms with what's happened. "Hopefully the other side of the world! He wants to be anyway because when I get my hands on him he will wish he was never turned into the low life vampire he is." "No! I don't blame him for what he did. I actually get why he did it. You shouldn't hate him; he only did what all of you wanted to do." "How can you say that Elena? He took your choice away?" Caroline's anger was apparent, but she never liked Damon. Stefan looked at Elena with a realisation; he knew that if she was mad at Damon for what he did it would mean she would be like Damon himself as Damon still hated Stefan for taking his choice away. "I get it, and you're right." "Get what? Damon is a douchebag?" "No Caroline, that if I choose to hate Damon for what he did then I will be filled with hatred for the rest of my life, and it's going to be a very long life. I don't want that." "Well I can't forgive him so easily." Stefan had gone and the two girls drank and got onto a conversation about Bonnie.
"I'm worried about Bonnie. She hasn't answered any of my texts or calls since she ran out on you yesterday." "I did try to eat her, remember? She will still hate me." "Yes but I just feel like something is off with her, ever since Alaric killed Klaus she has been avoiding everyone." "Alaric is dead isn't he?" "Yes, Jeremy realised that the moment you appeared to him as a ghost. Jeremy has been putting on a brave face but I think he is thankful in a way that you are a vampire, even though he is a hunter, I think he would have lost faith if both you and Alaric had gone… You know being a vampire isn't all that bad, you get to be strong and look after what you care about." "I know, I just didn't want this for me or Jeremy, I have to make sure Jeremy stays safe, he has to go away again. I can't have him become like me, or worse, like Alaric and all the family we ever had."
"I know. We will do it together." "I need to apologise to Bonnie, let me see if she picks up when I call? What time is it by the way?" "Oh shit! It's like half 2 in the afternoon. I'm supposed to be meeting Tyler." "Wait, if Klaus is dead, why hasn't the whole of his line died with him? Including Tyler?"
"I don't really want to think about to be honest. Tyler is still alive, why, isn't a question on my list." "Doesn't it strike you as odd? Even if Damon and Stefan weren't from Klaus' line, Tyler definitely was, so he should be dead?" "Maybe his werewolf half made him exempt? Who cares?" "I do, it makes me feel uneasy." Elena was beginning to feel the dread creep into her bones. She wondered if it had something to do with Bonnie. "Oh, maybe it's those pesky emotions, they are heightened remember?" "Yeah maybe, anyhow, go see him, I will be fine here, it's not like I can go anywhere, I don't have a daylight ring, I'm just going to ring Bonnie and apologise to her." "Are you sure?" "Yes of course I am." Caroline hugged Elena, got up and was gone.
Elena grabbed her phone and saw her diary right by it. She ignored it. That is the diary of the dead Elena, there would be no reason for this Elena to write in there anymore. She dialled Bonnie's number and waited for an answer. "Elena?" "Bonnie, it's me, are you ok? People are getting worried about you? I just want to say that I am sorry for what I did yesterday." "It's ok Elena, I get that you weren't in control of yourself. I'm going to assume you transitioned?" "You're avoiding my question. What is wrong?" "Nothing is wrong Elena; I have just been a little shaky after all this Klaus and Alaric situation. Are Elijah and Rebekah still in town?" "I don't know, I can't leave the house remember? I wanted to talk to you about that actually. Tyler is still alive and I am confused as to how, he was turned by Klaus so he should be dead right? If Klaus is dead I mean. Do you have any thoughts?" "I really don't know Elena. Maybe you should ask Tyler that? Actually, no. I will look into it and see what I can find out ok? But stay away from Tyler." "Are you sure you are all right?" "I'm fine, Stefan text me earlier about getting daylight ring for you so, I am just busy trying to work on that Ok?" "Ok." Elena didn't want to push Bonnie further. "I will see you later on today." "Ok Bonnie, talk later." Bonnie hung up the phone and Elena had a feeling of dread overcome her again; she sensed Bonnie was hiding something from her.
Bonnie opened the front door to Klaus. "So Elena is questioning why Tyler isn't dead hmm? Annnnd she is a vampire now? Well that doesn't suit my plan at all; luckily I have her blood piled up already. Although this does mean that the vampire hunter is dead, this has made my day." "What do you want Klaus?" "I want you to get working on a spell that will get me back in to my body, where is my body by the way Bonnie?" "I don't know; you will have to ask Stefan and Damon." "Hmm, I might just do that. Now, if you don't do what I ask before the next full moon, which is in 3 days by the way love, I will personally track down your mother, bring her back and stake her right in front of you, ok?" "You wouldn't?" "Yes love, I would, I do not wish to stay in this body for longer than I need to, and now Alaric is dead; there isn't a need." "3 days isn't long enough to come up with a plan to get you back into your body, I will need to use dark magic and it always comes with a price." "You wanted to save your friends to you will do this again for me to save your family." "You need to find your body." "Don't worry about that love. 3 days."
Damon was sitting in the grill drinking bourbon. "I knew I would find you here." "As always little brother." "Elena doesn't hate you for what you did." "Well she should. I hated you for 150 years." "I need your help with something." "What makes you think you will get help from me Stefan?"
"Because we aren't dead, which means we are not from Klaus' line, but neither is Tyler, which worries me; if Klaus is really dead then Tyler shouldn't be here. Where is the body?" "Somewhere where Rebekah and Elijah won't find it. Neither will you." "But he is definitely dead?" "Yes. Dead as a dodo." "We need to find Rebekah and Elijah and ask them how this could happen." "If I ever see Rebekah again, I won't be questioning her. I will be making sure she never touches Elena again Stefan, you should do the same, she is your girlfriend after all." "We both know Rebekah was only lashing out because Klaus was killed, she knew if she killed Elena, she killed Alaric." "That's not good enough. Rebekah should be happy he is dead after all the misery he caused her, not looking for vengeance, that's my job, remember." "Damon, we need to get to the bottom of this, I will find out but I would rather have you by my side." "Why are you being nice to me, I thought you hated me for taking away precious Elena's choices." "She understands why you did it, she explained it to me, I also get it and I would probably have done the same thing if I were you." Damon looked at Stefan with shock for just a second and then it was wiped from his face. "You did, remember? Ok, fine I'll help." "Good." The Salvatore brothers left the grill on the hunt for Elijah and Rebekah.
