Someone commented mentioning if I was going to bring in the season 3 storyline. The answer is yes, I'm planning on it. I will be using pretty much the same storylines, however, I will change up a lot of details, and I may introduce new storylines such as the problem they're facing in this chapter.

x Elena's POV

I can feel the stake pressing against my heart. They missed, and I can't help but think it was on purpose. I turn around after snapping the man's neck. Klaus' eyes meet mine and are filled with admiration. However, when he notices the stake in me, his expression changes to pure panic. I fall into his arms and he carries me to the couch in the other room. "It missed my heart…" I hear sighs of relief being let out by everyone. I begin to cough and can feel there's something wrong.

Elijah and Marcel are kneeling beside Klaus as he pulls the stake out of me. I glance towards the doorway where Freya and Hayley are standing, with obvious traces of worry on their faces. Kol is standing not too far, his eyes trained on me while Davina has tears in her eyes. "Kol…" Kol rushes to me pushing through Elijah and Marcel. "Elena, I'm here." I begin to feel myself growing tired. "There's something wrong. The stake… it didn't kill me, but it did something…" Klaus and Elijah glance at each other, then at Kol, confused as to what I could mean.

Kol grabs the stake from Klaus and begins to examine it. "This isn't white oak." Elijah looks at it, "Then what is it?" Kol shrugged, "I don't know… but it wouldn't have killed you Nik. It seems it was spelled."

"One point to Kol." We all looked at the doorway, as we heard an unfamiliar voice. Hayley and Freya jumped, and Freya backed away with fear. "Dahlia…" Klaus stood up and walked towards Dahlia, "The great Dahlia." He attempted to walk out of the door to get to her and was stopped by a barrier spell. "Well, it seems someone is hiding behind their magic. What spell did you put on this stake?" She let out a sinister laugh, "It's a sleeping spell. The same one I and Freya are put under but there is a tad bit of a difference. I didn't include the immortality."

She glanced at Freya, "My sweet Freya, how dare you betray me." Freya took a step forward, "Undo the spell Dahlia." Dahlia looked past us and at Elena, "I can't do that. You see, I was really hoping the stake would be put in Niklaus. However, Elena isn't too bad of a replacement seeing as she was probably the biggest threat against my cause."

I begin to cough as Elijah caresses my cheeks. "Elena, you're going to be okay. We'll fix this." Dahlia laughed, "You can't fix it. She'll be asleep in the matter of minutes now. It would be best to say your goodbyes. She'll be asleep for one hundred years that is if she survives." Elijah growls and rushes to the door, "Why? Why did you do this?" She glanced towards Hayley then at Klaus, "I want the child." Klaus attempts to break through the barrier but gets thrown back, "She died." Dahlia sent him a smirk, "No. She didn't. I feel her, but I can't track her. If I don't get her, I will kill every single one of you to get to her. You're biggest asset is about to go to sleep for a while, so you won't be strong enough to defeat me. You can try to break the spell, but by that time, I will have won already. So I will leave you to say your goodbyes, it may be your last."

I groan as the attention is all brought back to me. I glance at Elijah who's the closest to me, "Who was she? What child does she want?" Elijah looked at Freya who came into my sight again, "That was our aunt Dahlia. She made a deal with our beloved mother one thousand years ago. Our mother promised her the first born of each Mikaelson generation which got her me. Now she's come to collect Niklaus' child." I nod, I didn't need the whole story. I wasn't going to need it seeing as I was going to be put to sleep. "Well, I guess we should say goodbye then…"

The barrier was dropped and Kol casted the secrecy spell again so everyone had their privacy saying goodbye. Davina was trying to keep me awake longer so everyone had a turn. She said I had around fifteen minutes to say goodbye to everyone. Hayley and Freya simply said they'll try to protect everyone, and they'll try to find a way to save me. Next was Marcel.

"Elena, I'm so sorry." I give him a small smile, "This wasn't your fault Marcel. It was mine. I was the one who decided to step in front of that stake. This is on me." He sighed, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have stayed in this city. I shouldn't have let you get that close to me..." I reached my hand out to touch his cheek, "Marcel, getting to know you was one of the best decisions in my life. You are one of the kindest people I have ever met. You're understanding and you care so much for people. You're so compassionate. Please, don't blame yourself for this. This is on me, I choose to stay. Not only for you, but for Davina, Elijah, Kol, Klaus… I decided to stay for everyone. I needed this. I'm just sorry that we ended the way we did. I'm sorry I hurt you, I never meant to do that Marcel." Marcel had tears in his eyes, and a small smile on his lips. "Elena, I know you didn't mean to hurt me. I understand you had a life before me that you never got closure on." I glance at the clock, I've got eleven minutes left. "Stay alive for me, well you? I am hoping to see you in a hundred years. Be happy Marcel. Don't waste your time feeling guilty for something you had no control over." A tear rolled down Marcel's cheek as he leaned forward and pressed his lips softly against mine. "Just in case I never get the chance again, goodbye Elena. See you in a hundred years hopefully…" He stands up and walks out the door.

Kol came in next. He kneels beside the bed, a tear rolling down his cheek, "Hopefully I find a way to return to my original body. If not though, I believe this will be the last time I see you." I sigh as tears begin to form in my eyes again, "Kol, I'm so sorry for last year." He shushes me, "Elena, don't sweat it. I forgive you. You were protecting your family, just as you protected mine. You protect the people who matter to you, that's what makes you, well, you." I smile, "I would've done the same for you." He leans forward and gives me a kiss on my forehead. "I will try to find a way to wake you up, I promise." I smile, "I believe everyone will. However, if it comes down to me or any of you guys, I need you to let me go…" He looks up me with confusion in his eyes, "Elena…" I shake my head, "No. Kol, you have to promise me. Don't put me as a priority. Klaus' daughter needs to be protected. I can wait. Don't let them put me first either. I know Klaus will try to save me and his daughter, but that will only cause you guys to lose. Don't let him do that." He sighed, "Okay Elena… but I'm not going to give up." I smile and hear footsteps approaching, "I guess someone's a bit inpatient."

Kol lets out a small laugh and looks towards the door as Davina and Klaus barge in. "You know, my time wasn't over." Davina rushed to my side with a smile on her face. "I have an idea!" I shake my head, "No. Don't waste our time trying to come up with ways around this." Klaus walks to the edge on the couch, "Elena, listen to her. It'll keep you awake and able to help us break the curse put on you while defeating Dahlia." I glance towards Davina with eyebrows raised ushering her to go on.

"Well, you're a traveler which means you to put yourself in someone else's body." I shake my head, "No way am I going to take some random person's body. I can't steal someone's life like that." Davina shakes her head, "That's it! It won't be a random person. It can't be. Dahlia will realize if someone random starts helping us and she will put it together that you're still awake. You will passenger yourself in me Elena. While we fight Dahlia, we can search for a way around the sleeping curse. Not only for you, but for Freya too. If anything, once Dahlia dies, it will undo. We can kill her, but we'll need you. There's a reason she didn't mind that you got staked instead of Klaus. We need to find that reason out!"

Kol stands up and looks at me, "You have to do it." I look at Davina, "Are you sure it'll work? And why would you want to allow me to take over your body?" Davina smiled seeing as I was giving in, "You won't have control all the time. Only some of it, besides, I need you. You're the closest thing I have to a sister and I can't lose you." I sigh and glance at Klaus who hasn't taken his eyes off me since he walked in. "You'll have to do the spell. Place your soul in my body. However, I'll be able to see into your mind when I do the spell, are you okay with that?"

I nod then glance at Kol, "Well, there's probably something you should know then…" I sit up on the couch and Kol takes a seat next to me. "I know about the compulsion." I looked at Klaus and watched as his eyes widened in shock, "How is that possible?" I glanced back at Kol and they put it together. "Really Kol? You went behind my back and gave her vervain so that Klaus' compulsion wouldn't work?" Kol stood up and walked towards Davina, "You never should have agreed to allow him to compel her in the first place! What kind of "sister" would allow their sister's memories to be erased? Who bloody cares if she cares for Klaus? She wouldn't have let him die either way! Despite her problems with any of us, she would have jumped in front of that stake either way!" Davina seemed to take a step back and guilt washed all over her face.

"Kol, calm down. It's okay, you don't have to defend yourself. You did the right thing." Kol glanced back at me and took one last look at Davina before retreating to catch some air. "I'll be back in five minutes before Elena jumps into Davina's body." I sigh and attempt to stand. I automatically fall forward only for Klaus to catch me. I look up at him and his eyes meet mine. "Do you hate me?" I laughed as he stood me up, holding onto my sides to keep me balanced, "I don't hate you. I'm angry, but I don't hate you. I don't hate Elijah either, or you, Davina." I glance at Davina who seems to be lost in her thoughts.

"Well, are we going to get this spell on the road before it's too late?" As Davina was teaching me the spell, Kol and the others returned to the room. Davina sat beside me and looked me in the eyes, "Go ahead. I'm ready." I nod and glance at everyone. The clock was ticking and I only had around a minute left before I fell asleep for good. "I'm sorry Elena…" I smile, "I love you, Davina. I hope we find a way to wake my body up, or kill Dahlia soon so I can see you again." She smiles and I begin to mumble the spell.

x Kol's POV

I caught Davina as she fell and Klaus caught Elena before she fell off the couch. "Do you think it worked?" I shrugged, "Guess we'll have to wait and see Nik." He nodded and the next ten minutes seemed like ten hours. Davina's eyes fluttered open and she shot up, "Someone call her out to make sure it worked!" I nodded and said the key words to get Elena's soul to take control. As I said the words, Davina's eyes went black, and then back to normal. "Elena?" Nik and Marcel had said it at the same time as I.

Davina's body began looking around and he eyes landed on Elena's body. "Well, I certainly look different, don't I?" I let out a sigh of relief, as did everyone else and pulled Elena into a hug. After I let go, she glanced at everyone, "Well, seems we need to start working on a plan. We have a witch to kill, a child and Freya to save, well and me I guess."
