''I watched you let yourself die, and now it's too save me this time!''-''Bury Me Alive,'' by We Are The Fallen.
Elena felt herself struggling in the darkness, her breath quickened as she felt a hand push against her throat. She struggled even more as the hand pressed harder and harder into her throat. Then suddenly there was a hard cold pushing against her exposed stomach and a low screeching voice whispered in her ear; ''I'm coming for you, Katerina.''
And just like that Elena awoke. If she was human sweat would be pouring down from her forehead, her usaul attire of a tank top and short shorts would be sticking to her body. And most of all she would be terrified, and she was, but the thing was Elena knew that even though now that she was a vampire and she could possibly rip the head off of anything that came near her, she still couldn't deny the clingy reacurring thought that came to her mind every second 'Klaus isn't an ordinary vampire, he is an Original.' He could rip my head off just like he did to Noel, Evie, and Mia. Elena had to admit that she would always be scared, even if she was one of the things that roamed in the darkness.

Elena found herself standing outside of Caroline's house, this was the worst plan she's had by far since becoming a vampire. But Caroline was one of her best friends and she was more likely to understand than Bonnie or Matt, whom would just freak out and constantly check thier necks to make sure Elena didn't have a midnight snacking on them, even though she would never do that, it would be hard to convince them that she was still the same old Elena, just with sharper teeth. To break her out of her thoughts, Sheriff Forbe's police car pulled up. Elena hid in the bushes by Caroline's window, she peeked thruh. 'It's the weekend. Where is she?.' She saw movement in Caroline's room, the Sheriff and an unknown man walked in.
''You'll have to excuse the mess, this is my daughter's room. It's the only place in the house where privacy exists.'' The Sheriff said. Elena took in the man's appearance; brown, slicked back hair, light green eyes, and he wore a belt with a gunholder on it, but the thing was there was no gun.
''No worries, Liz. So, I heard you have a vampire problem?'' The man said. Elena's brown eyes widened.
The Sheriff shushed the man. ''Keep it down. They lurk everywhere.'' She said.
''I'm sorry, I'm not in any position to hunt for you. But I know someone who can.'' He said. Then in came another man, but this one Elena recognized as Alaric Saltzman, local history teacher at her old high school. If Elena's eyes got any wider, they would pop out.
''Here to help, Sheriff,'' Alaric simply said. Elena could have sworn that Alaric looked over and they both made eye contact for a nano second, but then Alaric just turned back and simply smiled to the Sheriff and the other man. As if thing's couldn't get any more awkward in came Caroline.
''Mom, Mr. Saltzman, what are you doing in here?'' Caroline questioned. The Sheriff sighed, Alaric awkwardly smiled, while the other man looked puzzled.
''I take that this is your lovely daugher?'' The man asked.
Caroline looked to him in confusion and before the Sheriff could open her mouth, Caroline asked him a question. ''Who are you?''
The man smiled a polite and cheeky smile, and held out his hand. ''James Bentley. Pleasure to meet you.''He said.
Caroline eyed his hand as if it was a lethal weapon, then she just went back on subject. ''Mom, do you think you could respect my personal space just a little bit?'' She asked bitterly. Caroline walked over to her bed and pulled her navy green messanger bag off of her shoulders and threw it on her bed. Elena noticed that on Caroline's baby pink satin shirt was a little blood stain, she would have to ask her about that later, if she ever got the chance to talk to her. Elena stepped on a branch and noticed that she caught Caroline's attention. Caroline's eyes met with hers, Caroline's green-blue eyes widened. She had to compose herself so that her Mom wouldn't suspect anything.
''Mom, I just remembered that I have to meet up with Matt at the grill. Don't wait up! Oh, and please stay out of my room.'' Caroline said as she ran out the front door.
Caroline came sprinting toward's Elena, then once she reached her she grabbed Elena by the throat and slammed her into the ground. ''Why are you here?'' She shrieked.
Elena struggled for breath. ''Caroline, stop. It's me!'' She said in a hoarse voice.
''Stop trying to mess up everyone's lives, Katherine. We've had enough with losing Elena. Want to rub that in our faces too?'' Caroline said, her eyes full of pain and anger.
''Caroline, stop. I'm not Katherine!'' Elena yelled. Caroline didn't release her death grip on Elena's neck.
''Ask me anything! I can prove that I am Elena!'' She screeched.
Caroline seemed to consider it. ''Fine, what nicknames did you, me, and Bonnie give each other when we were little kids?'' She asked.
Elena didn't have to think on that one, she remembered all of her memories so clearly now. ''Bonnie was bubbles, you were buttercup, and I was blossom. Since our obsession with Powerpuff Girls was far too crazy to tame.'' She said.
Caroline felt mositure spring to her eyes. ''Elena,'' She whispered.
''I'm back, Care,'' Elena said, as they both hugged each other so tightly, if they weren't vampire thier breath would give out.
