Coming home, a Twilight and Vampire Diaries crossover.
Summary: Bella Gilbert has had her heart broken many times, but this time she decides it's time to head home and face what she was never able to recover from with the help of her sister, Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert but she comes home to a pack of lies.
A/N. This has taken me a lot to finish, since this episode has a lot of flashbacks. I'm just letting you guys know, that I am not including the flashbacks in this chapter that are in the original episode. Enjoy and don't forget to review.
So sorry this took me so long to write, I have had a lot of assignments to do for college but I managed to get this in so please don't hate me. I'll try my best to not take so long to update next time, although I've got another assignment next week so… ANYWAY get reading!
Chapter 4 – The end of the affair.
Damon's POV
I sat there, drinking my drink whilst I'm thinking. Thinking about what my next move should be, in saving Stefan.
Just at that moment, my phone started to ring, I picked it up.
"You're interrupting my drink." I said, not caring who it is. Even if it's Elena.
"You miss me, Salvatore?" Katherine said, but I knew she'd be smirking wherever she is.
"Katherine. Where are you?"
"Oh you know the usual. Somewhere around, pining after you." But I knew Katherine well enough, to know that she's planning something, she wants something.
"What do you want?"
"Well, you know me, not one to be left out. What have I missed?"
"As you already know, Stefan's still Klaus's lil prisoner, Elena still thinks that she can save him, and no one's really thought about you since you left."
"I think you're forgetting just one little thing, Damon." Katherine replied.
"And what's that?" I raised my eyebrows curiously.
"Aww, did you forget about Elena's big sister already?" Katherine asked and yet I'm stood here thinking about how she knows, of course she knows. Before I could ask her how she knew though, as I was curious she spoke, "But what about you, Damon? I'm sure that now you've gave up on your brother, you're waiting to move in on your brother's girlfriend."
I sighed,"I haven't given up on him. I just don't know where he is."
All Katherine replied with was,"Hmm." Which gave me the impression that she knew something.
"But you know where they are. Are you tracking them?"
"A hybrid who wants me dead and his sidekick who's off the rails? I couldn't be further away." Katherine said, but I know from experience that she means opposite of what she says most of the time.
"And that obviously means you know exactly where they are." I rolled my eyes.
"All I know is that Klaus is looking for answers, why his hybrids aren't working." Katherine replied.
"Where are they Katherine?"

Bella's POV
I got up thinking about today's aims. I'd decided that I wasn't going to try with Elena because, well, it's only me trying and why should I?
I picked up my black bag of equipment, and walked straight down to the motel's basement where I had kept that vampire who had clearly tried to drain my blood dry.
I had taken the daylight necklace from the vampire so that she wouldn't be able to try and escape, as she won't be able to walk in daylight without dying.
As soon as I opened the door to the basement, the brunette/black haired woman stared at me in hunger; she was hungry, which is a good job that she can't kill me.
"Wh-why-" The woman tries to speak, but she's too weak to speak. I smile.
"Hello stranger." I kneel down so I am a few metres away from her, "Now do please spill whatever information you have."
The vampire, not saying a word, shook her head and began to tap her wrist, which meant she wanted blood. I sigh, before I turn next to me, open my bag and take a small blood bag only enough to make the vampire have some energy, it's a good job I tied her up with vervain laced ropes. I threw the blood bag at her, and I watched as the vampire sucked straight into it…
When she was finished, I questioned her again, "Now, I want some information. And you're going to give me it."
"And why would I do that?" The vampire replied, frowning.
"Because, otherwise, I will leave you in here to mummify, considering this is an abandoned motel no one will come looking for you, no one will even hear you screaming. And I will come here and watch you every day until I choose the day I kill you. Do you understand?" I raise my eyebrows, leaving my facial expression deadly serious.
The vampire stares at me for a few moments, before she smirks and say,"I bet Elena isn't happy that you're back, is she?"
I furrow my eyebrows, "How do you know my sister?"
She rolls her eyes, "Everybody knows Elena, she is the doppelganger after all."
I roll my eye,"You know that's now how I meant it," I pick up the stake laced with vervain, and I aim it just for the side next to her heart.
The vampire screeched in pain, and turned to me,"Guess you're not as good as you think you are. You… you missed the heart." She smiled as she said this, thinking she's smart.
I grin back at her, "OH sweetie… sorry to burst your little bubble, but I meant to miss," I look at her serious, and I walk around her,"I won't miss next time, so if I was you, I wouldn't even try and play me because newsflash bitch, you won't win."
The vampire sighed, seeming like she's given up she says, "I'm here to help."
"Help? Help how exactly?" I look at her in confusion.
"Are you really that stupid? I know what you want for Elena, I want it too. I'm here to help you." The vampire emphasised as if she was saying I'm dumb, when I'm not.
"I don't need you. And even if I did, what makes you think that I would be able to trust you?" I spit at her.
The vampire, who is really pissing me off by her idiotic gestures, rolls her eyes, "Because I'm Elena's mother, her real Mother." And all she does is wait for my expression, but of course I already knew Elena was adopted, I just didn't expect her to be a vampire.

Elena's POV
I turn over still half asleep, not wanting to wake up just yet, but knowing that I'm going to have to soon. I moan a little until I realise a presence is lying next to me. I sit up, and I'm surprised to see Damon.
"Rise and shine, sleepy head." Damon smiled.
"Aah! What are you doing?! Get out!" I said hitting him with a pillow.
"You know, you were drooling. Dreaming about me, were you?" Damon smirked.
I frowned,"In your dreams, maybe." I sigh before turning the other way to look at my alarm,"6 am, really? Do you seriously have nowhere else to be? Nothing better to do?" I raised my eyebrows in annoyance.
"Oh, okay, if that's what you're going to be like I suppose you won't want to come with me to bring Stefan home. I guess I'll see you later then." Damon shrugged turning to walk out of the room. Stefan. Damon knows where Stefan is. I need to know.
"Wait! Wait! where is he?" I ram questions at him because I am desperate to see him. I need to.
"Windy city." Damon replied without question.
"So he's in Chicago? How exactly do you know that?"
"Erm, I had a dream. I was naked," Damon grinned, he was being his usual, sarcastic self,"You would have loved it. Now start packing."
"Is he alright?" I ask him ignoring his joke.
"He's with Klaus, Elena. He's definitely not okay." Damon said seriously.
I take a deep breath and I hope, I hope Stefan's okay and that I can save him, I love him. I will never let him go.
Bella's POV
I walked over to Mystic grill; I had arranged to meet with Jeremy, which I was actually thankful for. I'd wanted to get in touch with him, and meet him, talk to him but I felt scared that maybe the only family I have left wouldn't want me either.
I opened the door, and looked around the bar searching for my brother, my eyes stop on Matt instantly remembering all the times he spent with Elena and a flashback took over my thoughts…
#FLASHBACK#FLASHBACK#FLASHBACK
I watched with Caroline, Bonnie and my best friend Holly, we all stood there waiting for Elena to finisher make out session with Matt, so we could all go home. I stared at Holly as I knew she had some sort of crush on Matt. And, I know that Elena doesn't love Matt the way she thinks she does.
I zone out of Caroline and Bonnie's conversation over this, as I put my hand on Holly's shoulder, "Holly, he'll realise that-"
"That I'm the one?" Holly shook her head, "No, I don't think so. She may not love him like that, but he sure as hell loves her like that." Holly said before she turned around and walked away.
#END OF FLASH BACK # END OF FLASH BACK #
I push the memories and Holly to the back of my mind, and then I searched the rest of the bar for him until I finally find him. He catches my eye and he smiles, walking over to me. I stay stood, not really knowing what to do. Would he want me to stay or would he just want me to go?
It's too late to think of that now, as Jeremy is standing in front of me.
"Hey Bella," Jeremy smiled, and he leaned in for a hug, and I lean in too and hugged him back.
"You can sit down, you know," He said as he let go, he sat down at the booth next to where we were standing, and I sat opposite him, I smile at him, "So..."
"I'm sorry. I really am."Jeremy blurted out,"I really wanted to talk to you; I wanted you to be here. But… in my eyes, I felt like I was protecting you."
I nod my head,"I understand that, but finding out that Jenna died on the day I came back here, well, that changes things, Jer. She was my aunt as well, or did you both forget that?"
Jeremy looked down when I mentioned Jenna, and I instantly felt guilty but I pushed it away reminding myself that I'm not the one to blame here. I need answers.
"That wasn't my idea, I, I wanted to tell you, but Elena thought it would make you ask questions." Jeremy said.
I nodded, "Why does asking questions matter?" I asked. Of course I knew why, but I just wondered what Jeremy's reply would be.
"This… this town, it isn't safe for you. For anyone." Jeremy mumbled looking down.
I sigh,"Jer, I know about vampires, the werewolves. So, don't lie to me. You think you're protecting me, well guess what, you're not." I crossed my arms not impressed.
Jeremy closed his eyes for a moment before he looked at me, "I'm sorry Bella. I am. In our view, in my view I felt like I was protecting you, I didn't want you to get up all in this mess." Jeremy explained.
I understood, I'll admit, because before I left, I did the same. Protecting my brother, and my sister. My family. I would have done anything for them, I still would.
I sigh before giving in,"I understand, in a way. I mean, if it was the other way around, I'd of probably done the same." I shrugged.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I hope you'll be able to forgive me, if not today then someday," He stands up as if to leave and for a second I feel like letting him, but I don't. I can't. I need my little brother. And he needs me. I can't leave him, so I look up with tears in my eyes, I grab his hand, "Don't go… please stay. I… I do forgive you."
Jeremy stares at me for a moment before he decides to stay, "Are you… Are you sure?"
I smile, "Of course I am. Now sit down and tell me everything I've missed out on."

Elena's POV
We'd just arrived in Stefan's building, where his apartment will be somewhere. I'm actually surprised. To know that Stefan picked this place here, out of everywhere else in Chicago. I just didn't think he would.
"Stefan could live anywhere he wanted in Chicago, and yet he chose this?" I said confused looking around the building as I followed Damon to wherever his apartment is in this building.
Damon shrugged, "There used to be an all-girls high school around the corner, but then it shut down for attendance issues. Weird."
"I know you're trying to scare me, so that I'd give up and go back, but I assure you it's not going to work."
"Shh," Damon replied stopping as he broke the lock to what I assume is Stefan's apartment, "Here we are. So it's Stefan's second personality home."
I walk around, looking around,"Hey clearly hasn't been here."
"Tour isn't over yet, sunshine," Damon said walking toward a wall; he opens a door… a hidden door.
I take a deep breath, expecting something else, but it's only alcohol. I sigh with relief.
"Wow Damon. Stefan is such a monster because he hides his alcohol like any other normal human being." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
Damon shook his head, "Look harder."
And so I do. I walk closer, and that's when I noticed a list of names.
"It's a list of names…"
"Hmmm…."
"Are… are they all of his vi-victims?" I asked, fear of what he'd reply. Scared if it was true.
"Still think you can handle it?" Damon asked smirking with raised eyebrows.
I had this urgency to defend Stefan, I don't know, like it was partly Damon's fault, "And what were you doing in the 1920's? Proving the way for women's liberation?"
Damon shrugged,"I was around. Chicago is a big city, after all. Stefan was nothing but a cocky ripper douche, and so I avoided him whilst still indulging in a few Daisy Bunchanans of my own."
I sigh in disgust, but Damon doesn't seem to notice, because he doesn't sly a remark back, he turns away and heads for the door, "Where are you going?" I asked.
"His old stomping ground."
"I'm coming," I walk over to him but he puts his hand up as if to stop me, "No, you're staying here."

Bella's POV
We'd been talking about everything, everything we'd both missed out on. I honestly, felt much happier here. I don't remember the last time I said that.
So, what I got from Jeremy about Elena's real mother, Isobel, is that she was "apparently" compelled by Klaus to kill herself after she gave Elena his message, and then she burned from the sun. So, my question was, how can someone escape that? I will have to ask the bitch questions later.
"You should move back in." Jeremy offered.
I shook my head, "I'd love that, I would. But… let's not forget about Elena. She won't be happy-"
"She'll get over it." Jeremy said, "It was your home, too. Please, come back. I miss you. And I know Elena does too." Jeremy said, and he had on his puppy dog facial expression, something he used to do before when he wanted something so bad.
I chuckled, "Now how could I say no to a face like that?"
#TVD#TWLIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
Elena's POV
I was reading Stefan's diary. I know I shouldn't be, but I just can't help it…
April 1922
Lexi found me last night, dragged me off the train tracks. Thinks she can make me care again.
I turn a couple of pages…
June, 1924
Lexi's driving me crazy. More animal blood, more misery.
I turn the pages again…
1935
Cravings are there, but it's easier. Lexi's on to her next project… getting me to laugh.
All of a sudden, I stop reading as I hear footsteps. Klaus and Stefan. What are they doing here? I look for somewhere to hide.
"What a charming little homestead. Do you feel that? Is anybody here?" Klaus speaks. I feel like I am unable to breathe…
I feel like I'm going to get caught with just the slightest movement. That Stefan is so far gone, that he'll find me, and he'll tell Klaus, and then they'll both kill me. I try not to make a sound.
"It's been vacant for decades. People must break in all the time, why am I here Klaus?"
"Your friend, Liam Grant, the one who drank his wife's blood… I never really could figure out why you wanted his name. and then you told me your secret… it was all part of your secret little ritual."
I turn to the list until my eyes sure enough find Liam Grants name. I remind myself who Stefan is, in my eyes. And I know he isn't that person. He isn't this person. He will save me, somewhere deep inside him, he still cares for me. He still loves me, I'm sure of it.
"To write it down." Stefan finished for him.
"And relive the kill… over and over again." Klaus said, and I could tell that he was probably smirking his smirk.
Klaus opens the hidden door, where I was hiding. My heart is beating so fast, I don't want them to kill me. I'm not ready to die.
"You believe me now?" Klaus asked.
I pray, I hope that Stefan, deep inside him, he still cares for me. I know he does. Please, Stefan, don't reveal me.
Stefan walks into the closet, he sees the list and then he turns his head and his face changes, I stare hoping. Please. He just continues to stare.
"Look what I found," Stefan said. I could cry, I'm going to be revealed. I'm going to be dead. Damon's going to come back to find me dead. But all Stefan had done was taken a bottle, he doesn't reveal me. He gives the bottle to Klaus and I hear him say,"1918. Single Malt." I could sigh with relief, but I can't make a sound.
"My favourite. Now, let's go and find someone to pair with."
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#
Bella's POV
I'd told Jeremy I had to go back to the motel to get my stuff, he'd offered to come and help me but I'd politely declined because I also needed to confront Isobel, and I can't have anyone knowing she's alive, just yet. When I walked into the abandoned motel, I went straight to the basement where Isobel was.
When I got there, I just stood and stared at her, waiting for her to whine. She was pale, from the lack of blood she's not getting.
"Wha- what do you wa- want" She asked, but not in a questioning way. She was too weak for that, of course.
"Oh, I'm sure you already know. I want to know why you're not dead. I mean, you're supposed to be dead right? And don't even think about being sarcastic, I'm in no mood to be messed around with."
Isobel sighed,"I smell… I smell blood."
"That's probably because I have some, and it may be yours if you answer what I ask you and don't piss me off. Do you understand me?" Isobel nodded.
"So, answer my question. Why aren't you dead? Klaus compelled you to take your daylight ring off, so it would kill you, after you gave Elena that message? Elena saw with her own eyes. Explain."
"I… I knew Klaus would come for me at some point… I knew he'd probably kill me in some way after… its how Klaus works. Everybody knows that." Isobel said.
"Good. See, we're getting somewhere." I fake smile, "Now, carry on."
"So… I… I contacted a witch… and I made her put a spell on me. So, when Klaus compelled me, yes I was technically compelled but when I'd have to kill myself, the spell was that after 24 hours I would be me again. And it worked. I did it for Elena." Isobel said.
I chuckled, "No, you did it for yourself."
"I… I want to help you get rid of the vampires in Elena's life, I do, you, you have to believe me-"
I threw the blood bag at her,"I'll be back in a couple of days. Maybe more, maybe never… either way you can't get out. Bye Isobel."
"No thanks or anything." She mumbled.
"You should be thanking me, not the other way around." Is all I said before I left.

Elena's POV
I was now dressed and ready to try and get Stefan home. Earlier had gone, and now I wasn't afraid of being killed. I knew Stefan was in there somewhere, he saved me after all. So, I and Damon had gotten a plan, he was to distract Klaus whilst I got Stefan home.
"You shouldn't be here, Elena." Stefan said.
"Where else would I Be? I love you Stefan."
"Why are you here, Elena? You know Damon won't be able to distract Klaus for long."
I touch his face, "Come home, Stefan. Come home with us, with me." I hug him, and I'm about to stake him with a vervain dart, but it's like he already knew my plan because he had hold of my wrist. And damn, did it hurt.
I stare at him with only sadness in my eyes, is he gone? Can he be saved? I start questioning myself and all I want to do is cry.
"How much clearer do I have to make? I don't want to come home, not with you or Damon!"
All I could do was hold in my cries, I miss my Stefan. I need him. But I can't give up on him, no matter what. No way, I could never.
"Look, Klaus is obsessed with siring these hybrids. If he finds out you're alive, he'll know why it's not working and then you'll be dead. For real, this time."
"I know that you're trying to protect me, Stefan, but I can't let you. Please come with me Stefan."
"What do you expect from me Elena? That everything will be the same because, Elena, it's not going to be."
"I know that-"
"No, you don't. You have no idea. I've left bodies scattered from Florida to Tennessee. Humans, Elena. Innocent people, of course you're going to care about that."
I look down," Well, Lexi found you like this before. In the twenties… she saved you. Maybe… maybe I can save you."
"And you want to know what I did after that? I spent 30 years trying to pull myself together. To a vampire, that's nothing. But a human? You? That's half of your life gone Elena."
I shook my head, tears coming down my face,"I… I can't give up on you Stefan, I can't!"
"You can because it's done. I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear from you, and I definitely don't want to be with you. So, let go, let me go." Stefan replied.
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
As soon as I got home that night, I was met with surprises, and not necessarily good ones. Well, not right now, not in the state of my mind.
"Bella? What are you doing here? I am not in-"
"She lives here now. I asked her to move back in." Jeremy said.
"I can, I can go back to the motel-" Bella said, she only stared at me.
"No. She doesn't have to, does she Elena?" Jeremy asked like a whiny kid.
Right now, I just didn't care. So I shrugged it off,"N-No," I knew I was lying, because I just wasn't ready to see Bella every day just yet but all I wanted to do was go to bed and cry,"I'm off to bed. It's been a long day and night, after all. See you in the morning, Jeremy." And with that I walked upstairs and cried myself to sleep.
A/N. I'll have you know this is the longest chapter I've written for this story so I highly suggest you review your opinions. ;) Hope you enjoyed. Xo
