Chapter#6:- Weeks gone by and Masquerade Fuck Up.
Weeks had gone by since the comet and all fucking hell had broken loose.
Elena found out about vampires and that Stefen was one after a lot of explaining and promises not to eat anyone, Stefen and Elena were better than they had ever been untill the truth about Katherine came out, turns out little Miss Elena was a clone or well a Doppelganger. Talking about some Twilight Zone bullshit, once all that was explained it honestly went back to being as if it never happened.
We all found out Bonnie was a witch which to me was really no surprise since I had known was a powerful one since I was a little girl. Perk of being a freak with a knack for knowing things others didn't.
Damon and I had gotten closer yet he hadn't and wouldn't tell me anything else about my past of whatever the fuck it really was called, it all in all left me with more questions than answers yet again. All around Damon was special to me what he was to me I don't know but I knew it was special.
Sadly Vickie Matt's sister didn't make it and her funeral had been just last week, everyone now was simply hoping to help Matt move away from the sadness.
Going back to Katherine we had also found out that she had supposedly been trapped under the old Fell's church in a secret tomb since back in 1864 but in reality she had been free this entire time.
We found out that Elena had been adopted and she was a descendent of Katherine and Katherine had waited for the 'Petrova Doppelganger' to resurface and that she had tried to get her hands on something called a moon stone. Stefen and Damon had come up with a plan and that was to trick Katherine into coming to Mystic Falls where we now had the moonstone thanks to lil ole me plus I was the only one who knew where it was and everyone wanted to keep it that way. Also everyone had to decided to keep Elena in the dark about this because everyone knew she would end up getting hurt or in the way.
The plan would be taking place tonight at the Masquerade and in a way I was looking forward to it. Damon had helped me practise my abilities so now I had better control of them as they came more and more to me.
I was inhumanly strong, super fast so much so I could now run hell even walk to where ever I wanted without anyone ever seeing or hearing me. I had inhuman senses, my eyesight was everywhere I now never missed a detail of any kind now it was a while before I could make it be perfect human vision again for a while colors were far to bright, light was far to shiny, and the details were all to overwhelming for me to handle. Next came my sense of smell I picked up everything around me and everyone had a unique scent that was only their own kinda like a finger print of sorts.
Next came my hearing I could hear people talking states away if I thought about it.
Besides all those other powers started showing their selves to me, I could now make myself appear somewhere and disappear to somewhere else with a mere thought, Damon called it something like Apperation.
I now could control my visions about the future and the present but the past was ten times harder to do I could barely look back 5 years ago without having a headache from hell and a nose bleed.
My power of being able to see things others didn't was what Damon called Surfacing, the ability to see what is hiding in plain sight of the human world yet those around it can not see.
I had always been able to read people and that gift had only gotten stronger as the days went by. I know also had a strong connection with electricity and could control it at whim, Damon said it would be a while more than likely for me to be able to use the electricity within myself instead of simply being able to use that which was around me like the lights inside of a house, street lamp, or lightning.
The plan tonight was to trap Katherine and kill her simply enough but Damon and I were both worried it would back fire because of Stefen.
"Give him some credit Damon he loves Elena now, Stefen isn't gonna fuck us over." I told Damon who was now layed out on my bed watching me as I finished up my hair. I was already in my dress which was a short flowing sweetheart neckline dress with black MaryJane heels and my usual jewelry my ruby ring and my black twist ring. I had taken my mom's wedding band and put it around a chain before putting it around my neck.
"I know but still I'm just worried that its gonna all be for nothing." Damon mumbled as I turned to face him causing him to look up. I couldn't help but blush at his reaction.
Damon's ice blue eyes had gotten about four shades darker, his jaw had fallen open with a pop and his eyes were roaming over me like a man dying of thirst.
"Eyes up here pretty boy." I joked snapping my fingers making him met my eyes again before giving me the smouldering eye look and a devilish grin.
"It will work out even if he does though I'll make sure of it. Now on to a happier topic." Damon said as he now stood before me before pulling out a black leather type case and handing it to me.
"What's this?" I asked confused.
"Open it." Damon commanded softly.
Giving him a weary look I opened the case only to freeze.
Inside the case was a silk inside where a gorgeous solid gold chain with what look to be a big black shark's tooth hung on the long chain and beside it sat a gorgeous solid gold vintage looking band with a gorgeous perfectly polished ruby with little white diamonds surrounding it. I looked up even more confused but this time there was awe mixed in.
"They were both yours a long time ago. The ring was something I gave you as a gift back in 1864 and the necklace, well you honestly never told me where you got it but you never take it off." Damon explained with a shrug before taking the necklace out of the box and sliding it over my head followed by taking the case and pulling the ring out before sitting the case to the side.
Damon gently grabbed my hand and lovingly and softly slid the ring onto the middle finger of my left hand making it the only ring on the hand and for it to shine like an entire mine of precious gems and stones and not just a bundle.
I had no words to say so I gently kissed Damon on the corner of his mouth being sure not to leave any lipstick as I did so.
"Thank you." I whisper as we gazed into each others eyes.
"Your welcome." Damon whispered back as he handed me my mask before helping me put it on. And in turn I helped him do the same for his.
After a moment of just looking at each other we shared a joyous smile before intertwining our arms and walk out of the room and out to the car.
Something told me that this was gonna be a hell of a night. Litterly.
Walking into to the Lockwood mansion I was suddenly pulled into a vision.
1864 Mystic Falls.
I was suddenly standing beside a very human looking Stefen who my past self seemed to be in a very secretive talk, walking closer I was finally able to make out what they were saying.
"He is only doing it to make you jealous." Stefen said softly.
"Me jealous? Of anything or anyone? Please not in this life time or even the next. I am simply annoyed by his never-ending pursuit." my past self replied in a much huskier tone with a hard edge to her voice as she sipped her champagne.
"He love-"
"I know he does but I will not lead him on, I will not lie to him. I explained everything to him about why we would never work and yet he makes my time here hateful and it all just honestly makes me wanna leave this place and head back. At lest at home I was around people who understood. Besides you always understand Stefen and one day you are going to make some woman the happiest woman on the planet." Elizabeth softly said gazing at Stefen fondly a look which he returned.
"Would you like for me to grab you anther drink?" Stefen asked.
"No I think I would like to leave and go back to my room, I am far to sad now to enjoy." Elizabeth explained softly as she set her glass down.
"Let me walk you to your carriage." Stefen commanded rather than ask making my past self smirk one which he returned as he held his arm out for her to hold which she did as they headed off.
The room shifted into my past self fastly walking down a hallway with Damon not far be hind as he yelled.
"So what you've moved on to the other brother now!?" Damon screamed out finally making Elizabeth whip around only to slap him hard across the face as his expression shifted to one of agony and regret.
"You have no right to be hateful I explained long ago why we could never be together yet you keep on maybe I should just leave this one pony town already!" Elizabeth screamed back before suddenly being pulled into one of the utmost passionate kisses I had ever seen before pulling back with a look of disbelief.
"I truly hope you enjoyed that Damon, it will never happen again." Elizabeth replied in a hateful whisper as tears started to fall before roughly pulling herself away and started walking yet again as Damon followed after her yelling his apologizes and desperate begs for forgiveness.
The scene shifted again back to the present where both Stefen and Damon were now standing in front of me looking concerned.
"Jael?" Stefen asked softly.
"Sorry." I replied in a rough breathless whisper making them both give out a breath.
Stefen said something about going to check on Jeremy and Damon was left with me watching my every move.
"Are you alright?" Damon whispered.
"I don't wanna talk about it lest just get this over with." I reply with no emotion in my voice as I walk ahead and on into the house leaving behind a very worried and very confused Damon in my wake.
All seemed to be going as followed for about the first twenty minutes as I sipped on my sixth glass of bourbon not even buzzed yet.
It was calm way too calm in my option that was untill I smelled the blood, sitting my glass down I followed the scent untill I came across Bonnie and Jeremy holding they're hands over the wounds on Elena's back as she layed at their feet bleeding what honestly seemed like a water fall of crimson. I had never felt so damn hungry in my entire life but I pulled my self back as I ran forward before kneeling beside them.
"What the fuck happened?" I yelled.
"It's Katherine she had a witch tied her to Elena some how! Everything Damon and Stefen do to her happens to Elena!" Bonnie cried.
"Stay here keep pressure on her wounds I'll be back. Don't leave her!" I ordered as I tore off running through the mansion in search of Stefen and Damon. I hated Elena but that didn't mean I wanted her to die, or at lest not right now.
Finally getting to the right room I slammed the door open before bolting forward and pulling Damon back by his neck knocking the stake out of his hand as I held him against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Damon screamed shocked.
"She had a witch tie her to Elena everything you guys do to her happens to Elena as well!" I screamed back.
The room fell silent before the silence was broken by the sounds of Katherine's evil sounding laughter.
"Well well well looks like Elizabeth is still the smart one." came a voice that sounded so much like Elena's it was eerie.
Glancing back over my shoulder in just enough time to see Katherine take off her mask making me have a small flash of her much younger and happier and smiling brightly before it faded back to her present smirk.
"So your Katherine." I stated rather than asked.
"It's so good to see you again Elizabeth." Katherine purred.
Stepping back from Damon I walked back to the other side of the room knowing I wouldn't be able to walk back out through the door.
Pulling my mask off I felt Katherine's confidence become nothing more than a play as I noticed a slight shiver run over her cautiously as she tried to keep a straight face. Her pupils dilated in fear, and her heart was petter pattering in her chest.
Damon and Stefen couldn't pick up on these things but I did and I relived in it, I couldn't help the knowing smirk that slid across my lips as my eyes lightened with amusement.
"Tell me Eliza have you figured out just who you are yet? Or even what? How about why you have no memories or either?" Katherine asked her facade some what back in place.
"If you know something say it other wise shut the fuck up you stupid pathetic whore." I snarled making not just her but Stefen and Damon take several steps back.
"I'll give you a hint. Your sitting in the very same room as the man who you so deeply trusted who in return gave you over to your own worst nightmare. Isn't that right Stefen?" Katherine replied. The room suddenly grew about ten degrees colder.
Looking over at Damon I noticed the wide-eyed look on his face as he stared back at me and glancing over at Stefen I noticed the heart-broken look on his face. I didn't know the full story yet but apparently what Katherine just said was true, and I suddenly was even more hungry than earlier as I tried to keep my cold hard rage in check. Liars. All of them.
Before anyone could say anything further a very pretty witch who reminded me a lot of Bonnie walked through the door holding, the mother fucking moonstone. But that wasn't possible I was the only one who knew where it was.
Noticing my look the young witch gave me a genuine sorry and longing for me to understand look before turning to face a smirking Katherine.
"The spell that has been place on this room has been lifted your free to go. Once I give this to you my dept is paid in full." the woman who I kept wanting to call Lucy said as she handed the stone over to Katherine only for her to convulse and fall to the floor.
"Ele-" Stefen started before the witch cut him off
"She is fine Bonnie is with her. She should heal quickly."The witch said before walking off, I followed right behind her not paying attention to the brothers behind me desperately calling after me as I went.
Once we got out side of the Lockwood's I grabbed the young witch by her arm gently pulling her to turn around to face me.
She was gorgeous and her heart was pure.
"Your name is Lucy isn't it?" I softly asked.
She didn't speak although I knew she wanted to, she was being smart and for that I praised her.
"Lucy Magnus. Magnus witches are some of the oldest and most powerful, how the hell did you get mixed up with a bitch like Katherine?"
" She saved my life but I've paid that dept i'm out of vampire shit."
"Good. Stay that way, getting out of here be free. Live, fall in love, party, travel but most of all be happy." I replied shocking her as her eyes became so a lite the looked like shining stars as I turned to walk away.
"Ask me." Lucy said.
"Where do I know you?" I asked.
"I was four and I had a hole in my heart big enough to kill me. No one would save me for fear of the backlash. You didn't give a fuck about backlash and you saved me. You visited me every year three times a year not counting phone calls the older I got, then when I was 13years old. You sent me a letter for my birthday that year telling me you wouldn't see me again till maybe later in my life if at all. You left me money and a house in my favorite place in the world, Paris. You put me through fashion school you did more for me then you will ever know. You were family to me then just as you are to me now. I may be done with Vampire b.s but if you ever need me here's my number just find me. I hope you can remember one day what we were once like it would be nice to have the only mother I ever knew back in my life." Lucy softly explained handing me a piece of paper with her number on it before leaning up to kiss me on the check and turning to walk away.
I watched her get in her car and leave before putting her number away safely, followed by turning around and walking away with a spinning head, fluttering stomach and a heavy and hurting heart.
I walked over to my Tahoe before I suddenly felt sick, violently sick as a sharp pain hit me in the side of my neck. My vision blurred, my breathing hitched and faltered, my legs gave away and the last thing I remembered before my sight going black was a blurry figure standing above me and a sudden imagine of me falling through ice cold water.
I was right, my road trip to the highway to hell was just beginning and something told me it was gonna be a motherfucking bumpy ride.
