Chapter 4-
Damon had rushed downstairs expecting to find Lovely Elena downstairs in the kitchen drinking coffee, but oh boy was he wrong. Using his vampire speed he sped downstairs to investigate. He approached the kitchen wondering how the hell did these two teenagers have the time, let alone energy to clean this house. He realized that they had been through so much; he wondered how it was that they were able to survive it. Oh wait, Elena did try to kill her herself so he didn't really think they were the best at coping with their problems.
Damon searched the kitchen, not having a clue what he was looking for though. After a few minutes of unsuccessful searching he made his way out of the kitchen. Silently cursing himself for his bad luck, took steps out the door of the kitchen. As he made his way out he was accompanied with the sound of glass cracking under his feet then a feeling of slicing pain to follow it.
"Damn it" Damon yelled while grabbing his bleeding foot but his gazed was turned and the feeling in the foot soon faded away.
He could smell it. Blood. Elena's blood.
"No no no no no no no this can't be happening" Damon yelled trying to contain his cried so she would wake Jeremy.
He felt his knees weaken underneath him and he collapsed to the floor. His Elena was gone. Missing. Why was it that now when Elena had finally chose him something had to get in the way? Something always had to mess up what they had. Maybe they weren't mean to be, there weren't any signs that they should be together. Every time they had even a glimpse at happiness someone or something always had to get in the way.
But this was definitely different. There was blood all over the floor along with shards of glass scattered among it. There were many outcomes that were going through his mind and possibilities to why there was Elena's blood on the floor.
It was Stefan. It had to be Stefan. He could smell his scent throughout many places of the house. The living room, kitchen, Elena's room.
This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to be together with out the usual drama, meaning Stefan. God he hated his brother so much in that moment. More than he ever had before. And his brother had done some pretty awful things.
One of many being back in 1864 when he had basically forced Damon to become a vampire, Which was the worst thing he thought he could have done at the time. But back then there was no Elena, not even a word of her. But now Elena was all he thought about.
There only one thing on his mind now, and it was saving Elena while killing Stefan. He wouldn't hesitate. But he did hope he wouldn't have to.
Damon needed a plan. Plans were always the best way to go. He needed to call of Bonnie; he could really use all of her witchy Juju. He would need Caroline, he hated to admit it but the needed her. Damon was never the person who would admit his feelings let alone show them.
Damon got his phone out of his pocket quickly texting everyone the usual "SOS". They have received that message so many times that they knew exactly where to meet. The Salvatore house.
After sending everyone the very cryptic message indicating all hell was about to break loose (literally). Damon went upstairs to wake up the very much asleep Jeremy. Damon wondered how the fuck Jeremy was still asleep, he was pretty sure he pretty much released the cracken when he was downstairs. Yes, he was that loud.
He busted through Jeremy's door to see him waking up abruptly and pulling the blankets over his body to cover up.
"Cover up Fabio" Damon said while throwing clothes at his face
"What the hell" Jeremy yelled while putting on a t-shirt
"Its Elena, meet us at the boarding house in 15" with that Damon left the room feeling somewhat empty inside, he knew something was missing. And that was Elena.
Elena had never felt more alive, yet she felt the weakest she had ever felt in her life. She was confused; she knew she didn't want this. Yet she had thought about it all the time. When she began to date Stefan she would think about the life they would have in the future. Like the family they would have with their beautiful children. But all those fantasies came crashing down when she found out he was a vampire
Now she had a different life to think about, not just about being a vampire. But a future with Damon was now what she would think about. But she would need to get out of this hell hole first. She wanted to get out of this town; this town was filled with unwanted memories. Memories she didn't want to keep or remember.
Now all she could think about was blood. The thick red liquid that throbbed in the veins. There was not a drop of blood in sight yet she could envision a human's neck and it pulsating.
Elena was interrupted with her thoughts when someone burst through the door. She was actually startled a bit, but it soon turned to fear when she realized who it was. Stefan. Stefan now scared the living hell out of her. Nothing was going to change that, not even if he re flipped the switch.
"Get up" Stefan said fiercely. He jerked her arm up and dragged her out the door to a room she was not familiar to.
Stefan had a gruesome grip on her wrist causing the hand to turn red. He want even aware of the fact that he was hurting her. Actually maybe he was, but he chose not to care.
He threw her limp body on the floor in front of a man in black jeans and black boots. She whimpered and grabbed her wrist to try and tame the throbbing sensation. She followed her gaze to the man who was standing a in front of her.
"Hello Love" Elena knew in that moment exactly who it was. She could recognize that accent anywhere.
Elena refused to say anything; she didn't want to make things worse with her snarky comments.
Klaus bent down to look at Elena, he moved his hand to her cheek and grazed his thumb over it. He followed her cheek bone line and put a piece of hair behind her ear. Elena could feel her breath start to quicken, this was not a reaction of lust. It was a reaction of fear.
Klaus bent down and spoke against Elena's ear in a soft whisper.
"It appears we have sort of problem love. I have not been able to make anymore hybrids and I have been killing myself trying to figure why. But now I know exactly why….. It seems it's because the doppelganger is still alive. Now what are we going to do about that now love?"
Elena was beyond terrified; she knew Klaus was going to kill her.
"Please…" Elena pleaded "don't kill me"
"We will just see about that love" Klaus forwarded smirking
"Take her away" Klaus ordered
Stefan grabbed Elena's hair and dragged her back to the room she was being placed in. Her screams of pain echoed all throughout the house. She tried her best to move his hand away from the hold on her hair but he wouldn't budge.
She never knew Stefan could be this cold and heartless, and she didn't like it.
Stefan continued to drag her down the long hallway, Elena noted to take in all of her surroundings. She needed to find a way to signal the others where she was, but truth was Elena had no clue where she was. The only thing she noticed was that the hallway was long, dark, and narrow. There was no way she would be able to describe a place like this, deep down she knew she was not going to be saved. She would just have to act on her own.
Meanwhile the whole Scooby doo gang was gathered at the Salvatore boarding house. They were discussing the further actions that needed to be taken to get Elena back once and for all.
"We should probably do a locator spell on Elena to find out where she is" Jeremy suggested
"That is a good idea Jer" bonnie smiled as she took out her grimiore and candles and went into the next room.
"I can let my mom know what is happening and maybe she can help us find some foreclosed locations" Caroline said with a determined look on his face.
"You go do that Blondie" Damon said smugly.
Ever since everybody had arrived at his house Damon had stood by his bar and poured glass after glass of bourbon. The alcohol definitely helped the situation. It wasn't exactly easy for him to grasp that his girlfriend (well at least that is what he wanted to call her) was kidnapped by her ex boyfriend AKA his brother.
This was definitely not what you would call the best day of his existence. Note how he said existence.
Damon thoughts vanished when he heard Bonnie rush in the room with her grimiore in her hand and fear written all over her face.
"We have a problem" Bonnie stated while shaking her head.
"Well spit it out Witchy" Damon spat getting fed up with her lost of words in this hostile situation. I mean it was Elena's life we were talking about. They should be doing everything they possibly could without question to save her life.
"Something isn't right; I am not able to track Elena"
"What do you mean you are not able to track Elena" Damon was enraged with anger now. That was the only option they had that would potentially save Elena. There was nothing that could possibly lead her to them. A tiny option would be from the help of Sheriff Forbes…. But even that was a long shot.
"Damon, you don't understand… I am only allowed to track humans. Nature won't allow me to track anything supernatural. It goes against the rules of nature." Bonnie said hastily but everyone could sense the shakiness that was hidden in her voice.
"What are you saying" Damon said.
"You said that you fed her you're blood when Stefan bit her, and when you woke up this morning you found blood on her bed and downstairs in the kitchen…, you said there were glass and a lot of blood… Damon... What If?"
"Stop." Damon raised his hand up to keep her from going on with her theory any further. Damon knew exactly what was happening. He just couldn't believe what he was hearing. This was just not right. Stefan wouldn't kill Elena, he couldn't have.
Damon dropped the glass he had been drinking while simultaneously dropping onto his knees. He could feel the whole world crowd around him. He knew the people in his house were speaking to him but he couldn't hear them. There were just muffled sounds in his ears that he couldn't place. His vision became blurred as he felt his heart break into a million pieces yet again.
Elena didn't want this. She never had wanted this. Damon had always wanted Elena to turn but he always wanted it to be willingly. Not under the terms of a complete accident.
Wait. Was it even a complete accident? Or was it intentional? Stefan could not have known Damon had given her his blood. Unless he saw that the marks on her neck had healed, which he seriously doubted.
He couldn't imagine what was going through Elena's mind at the moment. She must be so confused and unaware of what was going on. He hoped she had not given into the blood lust, he knew she wouldn't be able to live with herself.
"We have 24 hours till she dies from not completing the transition. She must be confused and not knowing what is happening to her. We have to get to her NOW" Damon yelled causing everyone to jump back from his sudden immaculate anger he didn't portray moments ago.
They couldn't have been more wrong, Elena was well aware of what was happening to her. And she wanted to give in so bad. But the part on how she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she killed someone Damon had been right on.
Stefan threw Elena in the room she was being held captive in making her bang against the wall. "He must not be aware of his own strength" Elena thought.
She got up from where she was on the far corner of the wall and grabbed her wrist. It was obviously broken. She used her other good hand to feel the back of her head, as soon as she felt her scalp underneath her finger tips she new a chunk of her hair had been torn off.
Her attention as then brought back to her throbbing wrist. It was completely and utterly painful. She had never felt such pain. She moved her left hand over her wrist and touched the bone that was noticeably sticking out. She simply grazed her index finger over it and screamed out in pain.
Elena shifted her gaze upward to the vampire watching her. She shot daggers through her eyes at him. "If only looks could kill" Elena thought to herself.
"Come on Elena, don't look so sad. I am not that bad am I? I can assure we are going to have a very good time together." Stefan said with a smile splattered on his face and made his way over to Elena and propped himself down in front of her.
"Go to hell" Elena spat then proceeded to spit in his face.
Stefan was definitely taken back by that unkind gesture. He wiped his fingers across his eyes and cheeks to get the spit off his face.
"You're going to wish you hadn't done that" Stefan yelled and walked out while closing the door behind him.
Elena crawled over to the corner of the room careful not to hurt her hand. She brought her knees to her chest and cried. Just like that she cried. But Elena knew she was fading quickly,, her breathing slowly but surely started to soften. She needed Damon. But better yet she might actually get somewhere on her own.
Elena needed to come up with a plan and fast. That was it, she needed a plan. A light bulb went off in her head and she was immediately aware of the plan she had just concocted. She then had hope; she finally thought she was going to get out of this hell hole.
Everyone had gone their separate ways in order to finding Elena. Bonnie went to her house to search for other grimiores, Caroline was with her mom who had found out about foreclosures in the area, Jeremy matt and Tyler did the manly guy thing and went o ask if anyone had seen Elena.
All of them were unsuccessful, except for Caroline. She had called Damon and informed them about her latest discoveries regarding the foreclosures. They decided it would best if they split up and went to each foreclosure to search them.
They split into three groups; Caroline with matt since she would be able to protect him with her vampire skills, Jeremy with Tyler because he had the ring that brought him back to life and Tyler's werewolf side, Lastly it was Bonnie with Damon because they had her awesome witchy Juju and Damon's sexy vampire skills.
The farthest foreclosure location was over 40 miles away; the other two were 25 and and Bonnie decided to take the one that was over 40 miles away, It seemed like the best option in order to find Elena. He knew damn well he wanted to be the one to rescue her. Not only because he would be her knight and shining armor but because he would have the chance. The chance to kill his brother once and for all.
All of the gang could only hope they made it out alive once this was over. But all of them were perfectly aware of the fact that Klaus was always many steps ahead of them. He probably thought over her being rescued plenty of times. He probably had guards standing about in front of the houses or lurking in the shadows.
Damon and Bonnie were not really for acknowledging the elephant in the car. Each was well aware of the fact the despised each other. There was absolutely no denying that.
I guess you could say bonnie had her reasons for hating Damon… He killed a lot of people. And he was juts Damon.
But Damon honestly didn't give a shit about what other people thought of him. He was his own person who made his own decision and would never relay on anyone.
Deciding on breaking the silence in the car Bonnie spoke
"What do you think about Elena?"
"What about her?"
"Do you think she is going to complete the transition?"
"Who knows, as of now Elena is going to become the most unpredictable person we know. That is if she completes the transition. She is probably so confused and worried. That is why we need to get to her."
"You really make me question it Damon."
"Question what?"
Why I really hate you in the first place. You are so good to Elena."
"Deep down Stefan knows you are the best thing for her. And everyone knows that Stefan is no longer the best thing." Bonnie continued
Damon looked to face bonnie and signed then moving his eyes back to the road in front of him. On the outside he looked like the most unreadable person out there. But on the inside Damon had thoughts springing throughout his mind… to many to where even he couldn't understand.
"You're not to bad yourself witchy" Damon said smugly.
Bonnie looked at him and rolled her eyes at his uncanny ability to be serious for 2 seconds. Her mind wandered off to the horrors that Elena's enduring right now (if any at all).
Elena in fact was enduring some pain at the moment. Her wrist was broken; some of her hair had been torn out of her scalp, and was hungry… SO very hungry. The only thing that actually kept her going was the fact that she had a plan. I very good plan she might add. Well, at least she thought it was a good one. But the only thing she could hope right now as that her plan would fall in place like she wanted.
Elena's opened her eyes to see Stefan bursting through the door with a try in his hand and his usual no humanity self. And that was it. The plan was put into motion.
Caroline and matt were also experiencing the usual awkward ex silence. Things had been kind of rocky for them ever since Matt became aware of the towns vampire problem. But Caroline couldn't ignore the fact she had sort of been drawn to Tyler lately. Their friendship hade evolved in a way she didn't understand.
A few minutes later they were arriving at a house, Caroline knew to take note how dark and quiet it was. They slowly made either way out of the car and walked up the houses steps. The door was left ajar and she couldn't help but shiver at the sight. Caroline figured she would hear a lot of talking but she heard nothing, which made her think this wasn't the right house.
They walked in and everything seemed to be in place and dark, now Caroline knew. No had had stepped foot in this house for weeks. Damn it. They had the wrong house.
She watched as Stefan stood right in front of her. He looked down on her and his lip quivered.
"Elena, you should know that this is the best thing for you. I want to make it work between us. You don't belong with Damon. You belong with me" Stefan said
"I know Stefan, and I realize that now. I know when you left I lost hope, but I have that hope again. I love you… Damon was a mistake. I choose you Stefan. I choose you" Elena said. And it couldn't have been more believable.
Stefan set down the tray he was caring full of food. Completely oblivious to the fact that she would no longer need food. She would need Blood. Stefan reached down and grabbed Elena's hands ever so gently. He pulled her up so she could stand on her two feet. They gazed into each others eyes completely mesmerized by each others eyes.
Stefan grabbed her waist and pulled her into a tight embrace. He thought a hug was what she really needed. His head was in the crook of her neck while his arms tightly around her.
"Now" Elena thought to herself. "You have to do it now. Now or never"
Elena rested her face into Stefan's neck; even though he wasn't human she could still smell his blood. It was intoxicating. Elena gave in to what her conscious was commanding her to do. Elena bit down on Stefan's neck and drank his blood. Stefan had not registered what had happened till he felt himself fall to the ground in a faint state.
Elena had drank his blood to the brink of death, But he would come back since he was a vampire. She watched as Stefan limp body fell to the ground with a loud thump.
This was It. She made the choice. Elena was vampire.
Tyler and Jeremy approached the Foreclosure house they had been assigned too. Them being the reckless teenagers they were they had blasted Rap music all the way to the house. They were completely oblivious to the fact that the people who took Elena had vampire hearing and could hear them a mile away. And be able to get out of the house in time.
The made there way up the foreclosure steps with guns in their hands and stakes in there socks. They were very grateful that they had Jeremy's ring AKA the ring that brings people back to life. But we could only hope they would not need the rings usage.
The door opened with a loud creak, as they stepped in darkness took over there eyes. But they noticed nothing among them. Not furniture, painting, or anything.
After spending 30 minutes investigating the landscape they left with confidence knowing there was no one there. Jeremy pulled out his phone to let Damon no of the new
"Good news- no one was vacating in the foreclosure" Jeremy announced in the phone.
"How the hell is that good news? If she isn't at the next house that means we have a slim to nine chance of finding her. "Damon spat
"Don't be such a dick Damon."
With that Jeremy hung up, and the two of them headed back toward Mystic Falls.
Damon and Bonnie would arrive at the Foreclosure within several minutes. This was it, this was their last option. If she wasn't here they would mine as well consider her dead.
"You do realize that if we don't get to her soon she might not make it right?' Damon stated abruptly.
"I just hope that won't be the case"
Damon parked a few blocks away from the house, they didn't want to risk be heard or seen before they got a chance to save Elena.
The made there way toward the house. Bonnie held a stake inside her coat, and Damon had one stashed under his clothes. They were alert and had a plan in motion. The plan was Bonnie would try and negotiate with Klaus and figure out what he wanted, while Damon would go and find Elena and kill Stefan.
The approached the house. Damon went to the back so he could enter without being noticed. Bonnie went to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, and knock.
No answer. She waited. She decided to knock on the door again.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
Still no answer.
"This cant be happening" bonnie whispered, forgetful of the fact that Damon could obviously hear her.
"What's the hold up" Damon said after he ran over to her.
"Damon there is no one here"
Damon face changed visibly. He couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. He refused to believe it. She had to be here. She was supposed to be here. They had run out of options, there was no guarantee she would be found now. They had no where else to look.
No. this couldn't be happening. She might as well be dead. He thought that himself. He knew that if she wasn't here she would be dead.
Damon's face changed. Veins appeared under his eyes. He pupils turned red. His fangs emerged form his gums.
Damon wasn't hungry, he was angry… very angry.
His vampire features disappeared and sadness fell over his face.
"She's not here!" Damon yelled loudly while banging his fist into the house.
"Damon its okay we will find her" Bonnie tired her best to console him.
"No, no. no. we need to get back. I will find her."
Stefan had left her door wide open. "What an Idiot" Elena thought to her self.
She walked out of the room closing the door behind her so she could lock Stefan in. Serves him right after the way he treated her. He deserved all that came to him.
She walked down the long dark corridor she was in just moments before. It was all so unfamiliar. She had no idea where she was going. She felt scarred, only not. She felt some sort of power now that she was a vampire. She felt different, yet she still felt completely herself.
She tried to concentrate. She knew that if she concentrated hard enough her vampire abilities would take full effect. She listened in anywhere to hear the tiniest of voice. Btu she was unsuccessful.
She tried to focus…."Just focus" Elena told herself. She took a deep breath. And she heard it.
"What are you planning on doing with her" a unfamiliar voice asked.
"We are going to keep her here" Klaus said smugly.
Just by that sentence Elena knew she needed to get out of this hellhole. She put he foot forward on the wooden floor and the floor creaked loudly. She knew any vampire in the house would hear it.
"What was that?" Klaus asked suddenly very alert of his surrounding.
"It was probably just Stefan, he went to go run something up to the doppelganger." The other man said.
"No, something is wrong… Go check it out" Klaus ordered his minion and waved his hand off for him to leave.
Damn it. Elena thought. Now. Now was the only chance she had to run. Elena moved around looking for any trace of a hiding spot. She noticed a closest in the far left hand corner. He darted towards it. Once she was safe outside she listened in to the footsteps that were just a mere few feet away outside the door.
She held her breath. It felt like hours, but it was only seconds. 5 seconds was all it took. All it took fro her to be discovered by Klaus.
1 second she opened the door hastily and peeked outside the door.
2 second she stepped out being careful not to let the floorboards creak again.
3 seconds she darted out of the hallway and moved throughout the house trying to find a way out.
4 seconds she finally spots the front door dashing towards it, she turns the knob and opens the door letting the cold air hit the front of her body.
5 seconds she sense someone behind, she slowly turns her head.
"Well what do we have here" Klaus utters with a intense smirk upon his face.
"This should be fun" Klaus said again.
Elena didn't try to run, she stood frozen unable to move her legs. If only she had made it out faster.
