Chapter Six: The Nightmare

Elena was in the middle of the forest. It was a dark and cold night; she could see the full moon above her. She looked around. There were hundreds of bodies drained of blood around her. She screamed while she looked at her hands and clothes. All she could see was blood. She knew she killed all those people.

She got up and started running faster and faster until she finally found the road and stopped in the center of it. She could see this light getting closer but she was too shaken too move; she felt the car hit her and all her bones breaking.

Elena opened her eyes and got out of bed quickly. She was breathing heavily and the fear was consuming her. She was relieved though, "Thank God it was only a nightmare," she thought. She looked back to the bed and Damon was still sleeping. She didn't want to wake him, he didn't need to know. She was trying to erase the images of all dead people, but she couldn't. She was still scared.

Something inside her kept telling that Katherine could help her not to be afraid anymore. Nothing made sense and Elena didn't think Katherine could help much because of the fact that she didn't care about anyone but herself, oh, and she was a bitch. Everyone knew that. Elena didn't like her and she'd just make jokes of her, but maybe, just maybe she'd make this fear go away.

"Well, I have nothing to lose with this," she thought. She took of her pajamas and put these dark blue jeans and dark red top. Colorful clothes didn't suit the moment.

Elena entered in the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. She was still breathing heavily because of the creepy nightmare. She put her shoes and went to the door. She looked at Damon with a sad look; she didn't want to leave him there. Her heart truly belonged to him. He consumed her and she knew he loved her and, of course, she loved him back. They completed each other. They were meant to be together, but he couldn't help her with this. She really wanted him to help her but he just couldn't.

She came back and gave him a soft kiss on his forehead and whispered, "I love you. I'll be back to you soon," and then she left.

The night was cold. Dark sky with no moon this time, but Elena didn't pay attention. She just rushed to the Salvatore boarding house.

Five minutes later she was in the doorstep. Her heart was racing; she was desperate. She didn't want to knock. She was too afraid to do that. "What if this makes everything worse? What if Stefan shows up? What if he does something to me? What if I become just like him, a ripper?" She had all these questions in her head and she couldn't bear to know all the answers. She sighed deeply and knocked.

"Elena?" Stefan said when he opened the door and saw her there. "Hey Stefan… I'm sorry I came here in the middle of the night but I can't wait anymore." She could see he was still hurt because of what she did to him. She knew the fact that she chose his brother was killing him but he wasn't innocent. She was mad he switched her so fast. It wasn't right. "What do you want?" He said sharply "I need to talk to Katherine and I know she's here." "Well, you're wrong. She's not here."

She heard steps coming from the house and then Katherine showed up with a confused look, "Stefan, love, did you really think that you could lie to her about us?" He was really surprised she said, "You still love her don't you?" Stefan looked away, "No, not anymore." He saying that was like a punch in the stomach for Elena. She still loved him, she always would but they didn't belong to each other. Katherine rolled her eyes, "Of course you do. Don't be so obvious." "Say what you want, I'm out of here." He turned around and went up the stairs. Katherine looked at Elena, "So, what do you want to talk to me?" "I need your help."

Katherine was definitely surprised with her "night visitor". Why would Elena need her help? She didn't want to admit it, but she really liked Elena. She thought she was really brave to really choose one of the Salvatore brothers, even she, Katherine Pierce, couldn't choose. She ran, but Elena didn't. She stayed and made her decision and this made Katherine admire her. Since she found out that Elena turned she wanted to help her with the adaptation. Elena looked really scared and she was worried but she didn't want to show it, of course, "Really? How can I help you?" "I don't know how but I can explain everything that happened and then you can think of a way." "What if I don't want to help you?" Katherine said with a mean little smile, "Well, then I'll go away but I'm begging you. I don't know what to do." "If you are that desperate… Come in."
