Chapter 3
She thought she heard Damon's voice talking to Jeremy earlier but she did not see him.
"I know that" she picked up on Jeremy talking in the car as she saw him hitting the steering wheel. "She just could have prevented all this, and I just lost two more people because of her and her lies. This all could have been prevented." He continued as he pulled out of the drive way to this unknown place. Just lost two more people played in her head. Two more people? Who else was gone? Tyler and Jeremy was never that close. Matt is in the hospital but he is okay. Bonnie is okay as far as she knew. Could it be Bonnie? Did something happen to her?
"Is Bonnie okay?" She asked in a panic.
"Yeah I think so." Stefan said. "I sent out a text to everyone telling them to meet us at the boarding house tomorrow. Just to update everyone on the current situation. She replied and said she would be there." he said.
"Good," Elena nodded as she sighed in relief. Who else is there to worry about? That feeling of loneliness was creeping back up in the pit of her stomach and she could feel a cold hand on her heart. She thought at first it was because of the transition but the feeling remained as if something was ripped away from her that she have no knowledge of. Her and her lies, popped in her head, how could he have known she lied. How did her lies cause the death of supposedly two people? Could she be the second person he saw as someone he had lost? But she thought he said that he loved me no matter if she was a vampire? She let a tear slip down her cheek as the question crossed her mind. She died. She died. Elena Gilbert was dead. As that concept seep into her brain another one came to mind when the tears stared to overwhelm her.
WHERE IS DAMON SALVATORE WHEN I NEED HIM?
And those thoughts alone assured her that her choice wasn't the right one. That maybe, just maybe her brother was right. Her lies caused this, hell she single handedly handed her life to devil and basically said "Hey do has you pleased with me because you're right I'm too damn scared to go after what I wanted. I'm coward I don't deserve to live." So she tried to run back to her save haven even though she didn't feel safe there anymore. As a consequence she died going over the same bridge that claimed her parents lives two years ago and almost claimed hers twice before. She looked up to the man that she used to love, the man that saved her two years ago from the same bridge he let her die on tonight. "Why didn't you save me?" she said before she disappeared back upstairs in her bathroom to shower and mourn the death of Ric and most importantly of herself.
Jeremy pulled up to the boarding house and him and Damon climbed out of the stairs and was son up the stairs in Damon's room. He called Bonnie on the way here and she was on her way her now. Jeremy walked over to the picture of Damon's mother beside his bed on the wall and carefully removed it to reveal a safe behind it.
"Okay the first code is 062292" Damon said slowly.
Jeremy smirked at this. "My sister's birthday" he laughed. "Can you be any more obvious?" then the screen was soon asking for another code and he look at him.
"Shut up" he replied. "The second code is 062839" he continued.
"What's the importance of that date?" he asked while opening the safe and pulling the ring box out.
"It's my birthday" he replies quickly. "So the rest of the stuff in there is my mother's jewelry and my will. Just in case you can't keep your promise I signed everything over to you and Elena so when time comes you know where it's at okay." He said looking at Jeremy
"Damon…" Jeremy started.
"Jer, I'm just telling you just in case, okay." Damon cut him off. "And it's okay if you don't succeed in doing this okay."
"Okay, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying." Jeremy replied. He sat there as a thought crossed his head. "Today's your birthday" he said as he glanced up at the clock.
"Yep, it's a sad way to go huh? I died the day before my birthday, wasn't that classic." He laughed. "I managed to live 168 years and then I come to this town fall in love, with a human none the less, get her pregnant…" Damon catches himself before he spilled his deep darkest secret, "and I didn't even last two years before I died at the hands of my best friend the day before my birthday. Some birthday present." He continued, his words dripping in sarcasm. "And to top it off the girl I love ripped my heart out and if that wasn't enough she chose my brother over me just like everyone else." He finished bitterly. "I knew the first time around was to good to be true." He whispered to himself.
"Not everyone." Jeremy replied. "You will always be my brother and I rather prefer you over Stefan any day" Jeremy laughed. "He is too much of a Debbie downer." he laugh as he heard Damon's agreement to his statement, just as Damon was about to tell Jer his secret he is interrupted by Jeremy. "Bonnie's here, let's go get this over with." He closed the safe door and made his way down the stairs.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs there was a knock at the door. He opened the door to let Bonnie into the house. "Hey, so why did you want to meet here?" she asked.
"I need you to spell this ring for Elena." Jeremy uttered. "I also wanted to know if you could possibly do me a favor." He continued.
"Okay" taking the box and walking into the parlor to set things up. She grabbed some candles from above the fireplace before she talked again. "What is it that you need?"
"Damon's dead" Jeremy revealed.
Bonnie stopped and looked up at Jeremy. "How?" she breathed out.
"Alaric staked him before Elena drowned in the water." Jeremy explained. He continued not noticing the relief in Bonnie's eyes but it did not go unnoticed by Damon. "I need you to find a way to bring him back." He disclosed.
"Why would I do that?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow.
"Because he have saved your life more than you can count and we owe him this much?" Jeremy verbalized as he glared at her. She went to deny his statement but Jeremy cut her off. "He kept you alive at the beginning when Klaus came by not letting you use the extent of your powers that could have killed you. He has never once let you down so how you could not want to help bring him back. We want survive much more; he is probably one of the only ones that actually kept most of us alive." Jeremy expressed. Bonnie thought over what he was saying.
"Jeremy it's okay, you can't guilt her into this. Besides I never trusted witches." Damon smirked before a genuine smile graced his face and he said. "Tell her that I'm sorry for everything I did wrong to her and that I approve of what she did and stop beating herself up about it. Making the hard decisions is not always easy, someone needed to. I'm sorry that I left that to her, for her to do but I'm glad she did even if it wasn't for me. She will know what I'm talking about." Damon said going to kneel in front of Bonnie.
"Damon said that he is sorry for everything he did wrong towards you. He wants you to know that he approve of what you did." Jeremy relayed as he saw Bonnie's eyes start to widen. "He said to stop beating yourself up about it. Making the hard decisions is not always easy, but someone needed to make it, and that he is sorry that this time he wasn't able to do it." He continued. "He said thank you for doing it even if it wasn't for him." He finished. A tear slipped down Bonnie's face. "If you don't do it for him…" Jeremy started again.
"Okay" She whispered cutting him off. "I will try my best to find something to fix this." she agreed. They both nodded their heads. She started to begin the spell on the ring and for Elena and a few minutes later she put the ring back in the box before giving it back to him. "He brought this for her huh?" she said with a smile.
Jeremy looked at Damon and he nodded. "No" he replied looking back her. "It was his mother's and the only woman he ever saw to give it to, is my sister. He just never thought he wouldn't be the one giving it to her." He continued. "I still don't think she deserves it or even deserves to know." He said under his breath but they both heard him. Damon shook his head in disappointment before he went to say something Bonnie spoke first.
"Why?" she asked.
"She chose Stefan." he said and even Bonnie was shocked by this news.
"I didn't see that coming." She said. "I was for sure she was going to choose Damon. I mean everyone knows she is in love with him." She said. "I mean maybe she was scared to face them feelings. We all know she don't feel safe around Stefan anymore."
"That is what I said. And her lie got her and Damon killed." Jeremy agreed getting anger as he continued to think about it. "What good came from her choosing Stefan?"
"Even if she chose me, I would either still be dead or she would have died trying to save me." Damon added.
"Yeah I'm going to lean towards her killing herself to keep you alive and at-least when she came back a vampire you would still be alive." Jeremy said.
"Yeah have to agree with Jeremy on this Damon." Bonnie smirked as she could just picture Damon frustrated look. "I'm going to go look through the spell books to see I can find something, and talk to the witches and see if they can help." She said picking up everything. Before she left, she turned around to address Jeremy "Tell your sister, she might just surprise us and we are meeting here later today so do it before we meet up." She said before she finally made her exit.
It was just after 3 in the morning so Jeremy and Damon made their way to the storage unit to get Ric and Damon's bodies. Jeremy gave a great deal about what Bonnie said and thought she might be right. Might, being the key word.
After her break down in the shower, she and Stefan sat in silence in her room. She couldn't get the feeling that something really bad happened to Damon. That she should know something but she can't quite put her finger on it. Her eyes drifted close as sleep took over her body and a dream slowly creeped up into her mind.
Elena's Dream (memory)
Elena had just blown out the candles at her 15th birthday party and everyone was cheering. She was having a party at the grill like always. She had a dinner with her parents, Jeremy, and her friends Caroline, Bonnie, Matt, and Tyler. Not soon after the cake was cut her parents and brother left her to hang out with her friends. She was playing pool when she felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned around and connected with a pair of cerulean blue eyes, he was staring at her like she was the most beautiful thing in the world. She could feel her cheeks start to flush before she turned back around facing her friends.
"Hey guys I will be back." She said as she fixed her mini skirt and tank top. She walked over to the guy at the bar. "Hi" she said.
"Hi beautiful, what's your name." the mysterious man smirked.
"Elena" she with confidence she did not feel, "You're not too bad looking yourself, what's your name handsome?" she ask with a twinkle in her eye.
"Damon," he replies taking her hand and brushing his lips over skin and sending a tingle through her body. "Damon Salvatore" he smirked.
End…
Elena jumped up…she looked at the clock and it was just after 4 in the morning. She ran her hand through her hair as she whispered "What the hell was that?" into an empty room.
