When A Traitor Calls
Elena:
Elena tossed and turned, feeling like she had made a mistake by listening to Matt. She should have went to the Boarding House. She should have- but she did not. It was too dangerous, right? It was a lie. Matt was scared that he might have developed feelings for Rebekah. Elena saw right through his reasoning, but did not argue. Matt was on her side, and she did not want that to change. Elena sat up in her bed, looking at her alarm clock. Another night without sleep- she felt around on her end-table. Grabbing the picture of her and Klaus.
She touched his face with her finger, was it real? Did I really love him? Maybe love is a strong word... But if she had, it would explain things. Her sleepless nights, her mourning, her depression. She lost someone dear to her.
Elena looked over at her phone.
Seven Missed Calls:
Stefan [5]
843-409-3123 [2]
She had a voicemail from the 843 number, "Elena, it's Rebekah... Call me back as soon as you can. I think we need to talk"
Elena smiled inside, her heart squeezing tightly. Rebekah was reaching out to her, which made her feel like she had a chance here. She did it immediately, waiting for the phone to start ringing. Ring, Ring... "Hello" Elena made her number private- not knowing why but it felt instictive. Now, she knew why. In case Klaus answered.
She hung up. Breathing hard. I should have said something, I should have begged him to come home. Her head was pounding. She grabbed her iPod, logging onto a texting account. She texted the South Carolina number.
Klaus:
The phone on the dresser started vibrating frantically while Rebekah was in the shower, he answered it out of the kindness of his heart and out of question. Would she be so much of a fool to contact Elena? Or Matt? He said "Hello" calmly waiting for a reply.
He heard her breathing.
Elena.
It was like he was there in the same room with her, hearing her breathe- hearing her talk to him. Just listening to the sound of her voice. Part of him wanted to toss the phone, he needed to toss the phone- but what if he was just hearing things? What if he was delusional- because everything looked like Elena in these past few days.
The girl at the blood bank that he and Rebekah robbed the other night, it was like she was in the same room with him "Klaus, do not lose control. Do not go for the girl" The girl looked nothing like her of course, she was blonde. An outcast from what it looked like.
He let her be. Not touching a hair on her head.
The phone started to buzz again, but for a shorter time. It was a text message.
Text Message:
409-1298- 2334- I am looking for Rebekah.
It was not Elena's number, or anyone's number that he had come across in Mystic Falls. He sighed, knowing that she was safe. She did not know about them. "Who is that, and why are you going through my phone?" Rebekah yelled as Nik put her phone down.
"Some boy probably, I thought you said you would only be a minute"
"Well, I had to wash my hair, and then scrub the guilt and shame off of myself..." Rebekah looked at her brother "I am sorry"
"I deserve it, for once you were reaching a semi-normal life and it was ruined. I made you run from my fears" Rebekah grabbed her phone, "I should be the one that is sorry"
"It was very noble of you, brother" Rebekah stood straight "Something humans would write books about" She texted the number back without Klaus noticing.
Text Message:
Rebekah: Elena, it's me. Can you meet me somewhere tonight?
She waited a few minutes, telling Klaus how she was tired of bagged blood. How she needed an escape of the confined life.
Text Message:
:Yes
Elena pulled into the old broken house's yard, a perfect place to meet a vampire if one thought of it. She recognized the house, once restored by the Fell's but disgarded after a ten years ago. It was often relative to the other house burnings made after the last search for the vampires somewhere around 1990.
Rebekah was waiting, a smile on her face. Elena shut her door, and walked up to her. "Are you real?" was the first thing Elena said to her, before running into her arms. Rebekah patted her head, and then let her go.
"You have to get out of this place" Rebekah looked around "Mystic Falls is no longer safe for you" (AN: Alter ending- read bottom for more)
"I can't just leave my friends, Rebekah" She looked at her, eyes focused on the bags under Rebekah's eyes. And then distant looks. "Are you okay?"
"I'm terrified for you, and Matt. Stefan will not stop because you are human- he's gone."
"What do you mean Stefan? He's been there for me!" Elena jerked away from her "He's my-"
"Enemy" Rebekah yelled "Klaus would have never left you if it was not for a good reason. Remember Elena, for heavesakes remember as well as you can" Only bits came back to Elena, the parts that she was sure Rebekah had erased. The pictures, the laughs. Klaus was just blacked out. Gone. But Elena was there with Rebekah in the darkest place. And Stefan- he was the bad guy... Elena, without the help of Agatha would have never guessed it was Klaus.
Rebekah looked behind her, "Run Elena" The bright orange flames came out of no where, as if Elena had been followed. Elena ran to her car as fast as she could. This was unreal to her. The people she thought she could trust- they were the enemy.
Alright- Ever since I watched 'Man Of The House' I've wanted this theme to go into one of my stories. Elena leaves Mystic Falls for college and joins the Longhorn cheerleading team after a freak curse (Coming soon). Elena changes into someone she wouldn't even recognize in the mirror. When Alaric, and friends come to visit her at the house... things go down.
Review if you think I should write the alter ending.
