I Can't Take It Anymore
Remember, my Elena is the book version, not the TV series. As usual, I don't own any of these characters. Spoilers from the books.
Chapter 4 – No More Nice Girl
Elena looked around her unsure where she was or how she got here. Next to her stood a short odd looking woman with the manners of a doctor and at her feet stood that creepy blond Adonis from that bar she ran from. The doctor looked over her carefully as she tried to stand, going dizzy the moment her feet hit the floor. She was almost in a state of panic as she stood there. Feeling Damon and Stefan both close by she wondered where they were.
"Slow down, my dear, you're not ready to stand yet." The doctor took her arm, holding her still; she was a lot stronger than she looked.
Elena kicked at the blond that coming closer to her, "Back off, you! I've had it with all of you vampires! I want out of here now!"
Elena held onto her head, clearly not able to walk yet and barely able to stand, "What happened?" she asked the doctor.
Doctor Ludwig turned to Eric for the answer, "You were in a car accident."
Looking over her patient one more time, "You. Out." She ordered Eric, pointing to the door.
Eric growled, not liking that this doctor was giving him orders in his own business, but looking over the frail girl barely balancing on the table he nodded and walked outside to thrill the masses from his throne on the stage.
"Now, my dear, how were you reborn? There are very few like you."
Elena sat down in shock, not believing her ears. This doctor could tell what she was by looking at her, and maybe could help her figure out what she is herself. For some reason she trusted the small doctor, telling her from when she was a vampire, then stuck between realms and reborn. She explained about her wings and other powers that seem to come and go at will. As she spoke the doctor nodded where needed, encouraging and asking questions when more details were needed.
"May I?" Dr. Ludwig pointed to the girls back, tracing over where she was looking earlier.
"Hmm…" the doctor tapped on her chin, "very rare indeed. I'd like to keep an eye on you until this change you're going through is complete." She dug into her bag and brought out a business card.
Doctor Ludwig
It had only the name and phone number on it, nothing else.
"Call me anytime something changes or when you're in pain. I'll make sure that Viking releases your vampires. I don't see you lasting long without them."
"Stefan," Elena whispered, still feeling a little light headed still.
When Eric returned to the office the doctor told him to release the brothers; at that point Eric promptly blew up.
"Those two attacked my people and you expect me to just let them go?" Eric growled.
That was it. Elena stood up, her legs wobbling just a bit before stepping up to the vampire.
"I don't care who you are, buster. Those two were protecting me and you have no reason to keep them here."
"Buster?" Eric's fangs slid out with a click, "Woman, you have no idea who you are dealing with."
"I'm dealing with an overbearing, intolerable bully on a power trip who won't let me leave."
Eric slammed Elena back against the wall, knocking her senseless for a moment before Dr. Ludwig grabbed Eric's arm and pulled him back while burning his arm.
"Off her, vampire, now!"
Elena stood up straight, her eyes glowing brightly as she looked at Eric. Her powers unchecked, Elena felt her feet float off the ground slightly and the familiar tug of her wings on her back.
It was that moment that Pam walked in, gasping at the woman across the room from her Maker.
"What are you?" she whispered to the girl.
Worry this chapter is so short, wanted a cliffhanger. Will be working on my other stories next… will try to update all of them this week.
