A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! Thanks to my beta Elena Rain.

Finally the hybrids started to wake up. Elena panicked thinking they'd all be feeding off her. But Klaus grabbed one of the blood bags he had gotten from the hospital. "Here, share this." He handed it to one person and they used it then passed it to the next. Once they were all finished Klaus smirked, he had officially had his army of hybrids.

"Get some rest my lovelies; we leave here first thing tomorrow morning."

Sighing Elena decided to try and get some sleep. She was exhausted from the day. The ground was super uncomfortable but it was all she had. She closed her eyes and surprised herself by falling asleep quickly.

Elena was back at the quarry. She was surrounded by a ring a fire, Jenna was next to her. It was the night of the sacrifice.

"Don't worry." Jenna told her. "I know what I have to do."

Once the fire was gone, Jenna super sped over to Greta and bit into her neck. Klaus staked her in the side bring her down.

"Just turn it off." Elena cried. "You won't be scared anymore."

Klaus went over to Jenna and smirked at her before staking her.

"No! Jenna!" Elena shouted. "No Jenna!"

She started to cry. Jenna was gone. This had to be a dream, it just had to be. She squeezed her eyes closed. When she opened them again she was still at the quarry but this time Jenna was next to her…Stefan was. He was trapped in the other ring of fire. He was waiting to be scraficed.

"No, Stefan." She cried.

"I'm sorry, Elena. I love you."

"Don't, please." She begged.

The fire around him vanished and he walked over to Klaus.

"NO! STEFAN!" she screamed.

Klaus staked him and he was forever dead.

"NO! NO! STEFAN! STEFAN PLEASE!" she screamed in tears.

Elena shot up gasping, "STEFAN!"

She looked around and realized it had all been a bad dream. She looked at Klaus he just smirked at her. "Bad dreams?" he asked.

Elena looked away from him and buried her face in her arms and cried herself back to sleep. When would this nightmare end?

Then next morning, Stefan and the crew arrived at the first camp site but it was empty.

"We're close." Michael said. "The fire is still smoking so they left not too long ago."

"Let's see where they went." Bonnie said.

She opened the map and they cut Jeremy's hand again. Once they got the new location they packed up and quickly continued on their journey.

A little over a week passed by, just as Stefan and the others would get close, Klaus would have already packed up and move on. Klaus tormented Elena in her dreams at night, making her remember the sacrifice and making her watch as he killed Stefan over and over again. Because she was the only human; whenever any of the vampires got hungry she was who they fed off of. Then Klaus would force her to drink his blood to keep her alive. It wasn't long before Klaus ran out of blood bags. So it was time to use Elena.

She gulped when Klaus looked to her. He grabbed her and bit into both sides of her neck, then both of her wrist. "Drink up my lovelies." Klaus said.

Elena dropped to the floor weak. She screamed in pain as all the newest hybrids drank from her. Finally they stopped. Klaus shoved his wrist into her mouth forcing her to drink his blood. But that wasn't even the worst of it.

One afternoon, a few days later, Klaus was training his hybrids while Rebecca and Elena sat by watching. Rebecca looked at Elena. "I'm hungry give me your wrist."

"No." Elena said.

Rebecca grabbed her wrist and bit into and drank and drank until Elena passed out cold from blood loss. Klaus turned around and growled. "Was that necessary?"

He went over to Elena and bent down forcing his wrist into her mouth again. She was alive but still out cold. Klaus just went back to his hybrids. "Don't touch her." Klaus warned.

Rebecca rolled her eyes. She looked and Elena and smirked. "You deserved that."

It was just an endless cycle, it continued on that way for five months. Klaus, Rebecca and the other hybrids used her whenever they got hungry. At night, Klaus haunted Elena's dreams with memories of the sacrifice. She was forced to watch as Klaus killed innocent people just because they refused to be vampires. Luckily Klaus allowed her to eat so she was fed every day. But that was all that was good about it. She had no hope of being found because Stefan was dead and no one else knew she was missing. Elena had reached her breaking point a long time ago. By this point she lost all trust in anything that wasn't a human, wolves, ghost, vampires, even witches. So, even if Bonnie and Caroline did come to save her, she wouldn't trust them anymore…how could she?

One day, her life finally changed. They were at their last stop for the night. She was lying on the ground as six hybrids used her for their dinner. Three on each side, each attacking her, neck, wrist and ankles. Then, suddenly everything was happening so fast. She heard a tree branch snap so she looked and saw Bonnie, she was instantly using her powers causing all the hybrids and vampires to fall to the ground screaming in pain. Honestly she didn't care; all she did was just hope that Bonnie didn't hurt her.

With Stefan and the others a few minutes before they were just feet away when the car stopped. Jeremy was left in the car for safety reasons and the other vampires moved forward with Bonnie. When she stopped moving they did as well.

"Okay, here is the plan. Lexi is going to come with me. When she gives Stefan the signal you guys come in and do your thing."

Stefan stiffened as did Caroline.

"Stefan…" Caroline whispered. She knew that smell anywhere. It was Elena's blood.

"Bonnie you need to move now." Stefan growled angrily. "We are wasting time."

"Don't growl at me." She glared at him and then walked away from the vampire and towards Elena. She cursed under her breath when she stepped on a fallen branch and it snapped under her feet. All eyes turned to her and she quickly extended her arm using all of her power to weaken Klaus. She could sense Lexi was next to her unsure of how to help. She extended her other arm to weaken the hybrids and Rebekah those were super easy to take down.

She then focused all of her power on Klaus. As she stepped closer to him drawing more and more energy into her attacks she felt Lexi following her step by step, closely behind her. "Lexie Now." She whispered as Klaus arched his back in pain and fell to the ground. Bonnie didn't stop her attack, she kept it going.

"Now Stefan."Lexi told him through his mind.

Stefan and Caroline vamped out along with Mikael. "Let's go."

Within seconds Caroline and Stefan had Klaus pinned to the ground with his arms spread apart. Mikael looming over him with the special dagger in his hands. "You never learn NiKlaus. We could have been a family again." He taunted.

"What are you going to do? Kill me father? You don't have it in you old man."

"I killed you once didn't I? I drove a sword through your heart and I will do the same with this dagger." He sneered in his face before quickly; before any of them could blink the dagger was in his chest, directly in the center of his heart.

A look of fear spread upon Klaus's face before it quickly turned to pain. He screamed loudly as the stone consumed him and then caught fire. He writhed in pain until he stilled. He was officially gone.

"NO!" Rebekah screamed just waking up from her migraine! Stefan quickly grabbed Rebekah before she could grab Elena. Caroline looked at Rebekah and growled. "You hurt my family, my friends, you tried to steal my boyfriend. It's over!" Caroline took aim and was about to pierce her heart when Mikael stopped her, freezing her arm in place with his own. "Don't kill her."

"But… but…."

"No. She will be given a choice. Isn't that right Rebekah?

"I do?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes, you can choose you come with me, we will leave Mystic Falls forever, reunite our family and finally live our life the way we've wanted or, you can join your mistake of a brother, or should I call him the man who murdered your mother."

"What?"

"It's true, I'm sorry, I know you loved him."

Suddenly Rebecca dropped to her knees and started to cry. "I'm sorry! I've hurt you all so much and I'm so sorry."

Stefan let her go, she wasn't a threat anymore.

"Come, my Daughter, let us get the others and leave this horrid Mystic Falls forever."

Rebecca stood and nodded. Michael looked to Stefan. "Thank you, are you able to find your way back home?"

"Yes, thank you. Oh here, this is the address to where Klaus had your family. I wish you and your family the best."

Stefan handed him a small folded piece of paper.

Michael and Rebecca walked away. Stefan and the other rushed over to Elena. She got scared and flinched away. "NO!" she screamed. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

"I told you this might happen. Stefan go get Jeremy." Lexi said.

Nodding Stefan took off running. A minute later he returned Jeremy went right over to his sister.

"Jeremy," she whimpered.

"I'm here, its ok."

"Jeremy, I can see him." She whimpered.

"See who?"

"Stefan."

"I can see him too. No big deal."

"He's dead."

"What? No he's not. He's very much alive…well as alive as all vampires are."

Elena looked to Stefan and reached out to him. "Stefan!"

He ran over to him.

"Hey, Angel." He kissed her forehead.

"Stefan, I hurt."

"I know, Baby, I can make it stop but you have to trust me ok?"

Elena nodded. Stefan bit into his wrist and gently placed it in Elena's mouth. She closed her lips around his wrist and allowed his blood to work magic on her wounds. All her bleeding wounds began to heal and all her pain started to vanish.

"I think you've healed her." Jeremy said.

"I know, but I still want to take her to hospital and have her checked out. Who knows what that monster did to her."

Jeremy nodded.

"Can you carry her?"

Jeremy nodded. He lifted Elena into his arms she started to squirm."No, Stefan!"

"I'm right here." Stefan soothed as they both stood up.

"Stefan!" Elena reached out to him.

He chuckled and took her into his arms. "I guess this is a good sign. She didn't trust me a minute ago."

"She thought you were dead. Rebecca told her that you and I were dead."

Stefan sighed and kissed her head. "I'm not dead. I'm right here. Nothing is going to keep me away from you."

She cuddled into him and he smiled. They all headed out to the car. Jeremy and Stefan climbed into the very back and sat with Elena. Bonnie and Caroline were in the middle and Lexi was up front driving.

"Stefan, how are we going to keep the doctors from asking questions?" Caroline asked.

"Simple, we're going to compel them to just look at her and tell us if she's hurt. They're not allowed to ask questions." Stefan told her.

"Oh…right."

Stefan looked down at Elena; she was laying across both his and Jeremy's lap. She looked exhausted but Stefan knew she was fighting off the sleep. He stroked her hair. "Sleep, you're safe now."

"No, I'll have bad dream."

Stefan smiled softly and kissed her head. "I'll make sure you only have good dreams." He slipped his hand under her shirt and gently rubbed her stomach. "Sleep, now, Baby, you're safe."

Not being able to fight anymore Elena allowed the darkness to come over her.

"How'd you know?" Jeremy asked.

"How'd I know what?" Stefan asked.

"Rubbing her stomach, when our parents were alive and Elena would have a bad dream or if she was sick or something our dad would always just rub our stomachs, he used to say he had the magic touch to make our stomachs all better."

Stefan smiled. "Elena told me. I figured now would be a good time to use it."

"Yeah, I hope she sleeps through the doctors. She hates them. She's secretly scared of them."

"Why?"

"She blames them for not being able to save our parents. She'd never tell anyone that but I just know her well enough."

Stefan smiled. "You're a good brother to her, Jeremy. She's very lucky."

Jeremy shrugged. "We've had our bad moments."

"All siblings have their moments. It's part of being a sibling but at the end of the day you're family and there isn't anything your siblings wouldn't do for you." Stefan said.

Then he sighed.

"Thinking of Damon?" Jeremy asked.

Stefan nodded. "I hate what he did, he purposely put Elena's life at risk, after promising and swearing his love for her, he puts her in harm's way."

"And yet, you still can't hate him?"

Stefan chuckled and nodded.

"That's how I felt when I found out Elena erased my memories. I was furious at her, and I let her know it to, but at the end of the day I was kind of glad that I didn't remember Vicki in that way, and I knew Elena was just trying to protect me."

"Is that why you finally forgave her?"

"Well when you die and are brought back by a magic ring it really makes you realize how special family is."

Stefan chuckled. "That's true."

"I wish we could just blame Damon's bad behavior on Katherine again."

"Actually, he was angry at me and that's why he did what he did."

"What did you do?"

"I lied to him; I pretended to be the Ripper even though I wasn't."

"Yeah, but you did that to keep Elena safe."

"Damon doesn't see it that way."

Jeremy sighed. "You know, he talks a good game but at the end of the day, I don't believe he loves Elena."

"I know me too."

"If he really loved her, he'd keep your secret from Rebecca and none of this would be happening."

"It's ok now, we've got Elena back. Let's just forget about Damon and move on."

"Yeah, we do have more important things to worry about." Jeremy looked down at his sister and smiled.

"She'll be ok. She just has to heal.

Jeremy nodded. "That's what worries me."

"She'll be fine, she trusts you and she looks up to right now. You're going to have to be brave and strong for her can you do that?"

"Of course."

"Good."

They arrived at the hospital and compelled one of the doctors to not ask any questions or even put her in the system. Just give her a checkup.

When Elena woke up she looked around. She was in the hospital again, something sharp poked her arm. When she looked over a nurse was taking her blood.

"NO!" she screamed. She yanked her arm away. "GET OFF ME! GET AWAY FROM ME!" she screamed.

"Elena, Elena, shhh, shhh." Stefan soothed. "It's ok, you're safe. Nobody is going to hurt you."

"She's taking my blood, she wants to give it to Klaus, please Stefan stop her." She cried.

"Klaus is dead; she's taking your blood to make sure you're healthy. I promise she's not going to hurt you."

The nurse took her arm back, making Elena struggled. "No, no, no, stop, please, please." She cried.

"Shhh, it's almost over. Shhh." Stefan cooed.

Finally the nurse was done and Elena instantly pulled her arm away from the nurse, not even allowing her to cover the wound. The nurse just shrugged and left the room. Stefan just shook his head. She was compelled not to ask any questions. Stefan took her arm gently and kissed her wound. She giggled softly.

Luckily there was no blood so he decided to kiss her arm again. She giggled once more and pushed him away. "Tickles." She giggled.

He chuckled and gave her arm one more kiss. "I know, I just needed to hear your beautiful giggle."

She cuddled into his hold and he smiled. He kissed her head. "Just rest, my good girl. I love you and everything is going to be ok from here on out. I promise nobody is ever going to hurt you again."

"I love you, Stefan."

They shared a gentle kiss before just holding each other.

A little bit later the nurse walked in. "She's fine. I've never seen a healthier person. You're free to go."

The nurse turned around and walked away. Stefan smiled at the others. "Let's get out of here."

He climbed off the bed and lifted Elena back into his arms. She snuggled into him. Everyone smiled as they walked out.

They arrived quickly at a hotel for the night. Everyone was tired and needed their rest. Everyone was quick to settle into bed and fall sleep. Elena, for the first time in a long time, slept cuddled next to Stefan and slept through the night without one nightmare. If she finally was safe and away from Klaus why was she still so scared? She knew just because she was away from Klaus, didn't mean anything. She still had no trust in anyone but Stefan and Jeremy, that's where the problem was. Elena wasn't sure if she would ever trust again.

A/N ok I know the time with Klaus was rushed and seemed very fast but it wasn't meant to be very long. The point of this story is how Stefan and Elena's love for each helps them through the bad times, so now Stefan's love has to be enough to help Elena heal. Will it work? Leave me your thought in a review.
