I read the reviews and I just want to say thank you for reading. You have no idea how much it honestly means to me.
Let me just say that character's like Rebekah, Elijah, Victoria, Jeremy and a few others won't get too long POV's because most of it will probably happen through the eyes of Elena, Damon, Stefan, Caroline, Katherine or Bonnie. Just wanted to clear that out. Enjoy (:
Elijah was still standing out the door, looking from Caroline to Stefan and waiting for them to invite him in. Stefan couldn't think of even a single reason as to why Elijah might come to visit Caroline. What would he want with her?
"What do you want?" asked Stefan, sauntering towards Caroline, keeping eye contact with Elijah. He looked very tired and Stefan tried to find the betrayal and the lies in Elijah's nobleness. Stefan felt a little paranoid about the whole thing because Rebekah had tried to kill Elena and Matt the night before.
"I need to talk to you about my brother, Niklaus," replied Elijah and looked down in sadness.
Even though Stefan hated Klaus, he could understand the position Elijah was in. Stefan couldn't possibly understand what he would if Damon died. It was worse than Elena dying because Damon was his brother, the only family he had left. In Damon's entire annoying, dick headed like self, Stefan saw the humanity in him. Stefan knew that there was more to Damon than the façade he put up and Stefan loved him. They were two halves of a whole. They both needed each other and that was it, they needed each other.
Stefan was about to speak but Caroline interrupted, stepping in front of Elijah, nearly stepping out of the threshold. "Don't you think we've had enough?" snapped Caroline, stunning both Stefan and Elijah. "All your family has ever done is ruining all of our lives! We don't want to hear anything about Klaus or any other person in your family. Just leave us alone and get the hell off my porch!" Caroline yelled in a way that Stefan had never heard before. Then she slammed the door in Eiljah's face and stood in front of it, staring.
"Caroline?" He asked in a soft voice and put his hand on her shoulder. She turned immediately and she was in tears.
She leaped into a hug and cried softly. He assumed she was crying because she remembered about Tyler and he tried to comfort her as much as he could. It was a lot worse for Caroline than it was for Stefan.
Stefan ran his hand down her velvet, blonde hair and kept whispering in her ear, telling her to stop crying. She eventually did but she didn't let go and he didn't either. They were much too comfortable in each other's arms, feeling the warmth of their body, radiating and the mutual feelings they were feeling of relief.
They stood like that for only a while before Caroline let go and she smiled weakly. "Stay with me," asked Caroline gently. And she added, "Please?"
Stefan nodded, not wanting to go back to the Salvatore boarding house though he knew it was where he should be, with Elena but he didn't want that. He wanted to be with Caroline and that was the hardest thing for him to admit.
Elijah's POV
Like Caroline had not so politely asked him to, Elijah had got off the porch and was now standing on the pavement, looking down at the asphalt. He sighed and knew that if Caroline, whom he thought would be willing to listen because of her closeness to Klaus, didn't listen than he would have to go to Elena but he was afraid to seeing her. He was deeply ashamed of Rebekah's actions. Even though Klaus was killed by Alaric, it wasn't Elena's or Matt's fault.
Elijah walked slowly across the street and thought of taking Rebekah with him to the Salvatore boarding house but he had no clue of where she was so he gave up the idea and made his way to the boarding house, where he would have to try and explain to Elena that Klaus might possibly not be dead.
Rebekah's POV
Sitting on the metal chair, holding his cold hand in hers, she had icy tears rolling down her blushing cheeks. Looking at his honey blonde hair and slightly purple lids, she felt guilt and regret of what she did.
Rebekah had been in the hospital since Matt had been admitted, hiding whenever a doctor or a nurse came in. She gave him a little vampire blood to heal quicker because she didn't want him to die. She didn't want that at all. He was the only person, out of everyone in the whole Elena Gilbert group that had been even the tiniest bit nice to her and she knew that he was the only one who wasn't faking it.
She wiped away the tears and took in a deep breath. Because of the vampire blood, Matt was getting better and she was grateful that he wasn't dead or had turned into a vampire like Elena did.
Rebekah heard the whole conversation from the night before in the morgue. As much as she loved Niklaus and as much as it was killing her inside to think of him as dead, there was a part of her that didn't believe that he was dead. It was only because the Salvatore brothers and Caroline were still alive.
She was damn sure that it was Niklaus that had turned them but they hadn't died, which meant that something else was going on. She tried not think of him as dead. Even Elijah thought the same thing.
Her thoughts suddenly drifted away when she felt Matt's fingers flinch a little. She gasped and sighed in relief. He was getting better. He would probably hate her forever but at least he was alive.
She hadn't felt this way about anyone, ever. She never had the opportunity to. Matt and Mystic Falls gave her new experiences that she only wanted to live more but she knew that her presence in Mystic Falls would be greatly resented by all the residents. Matt, who had always been so kind to her, even after everything that had happened, would most likely push her away the most. She cared about him, nearly as much as she cared about Niklaus.
In a strange way, Rebekah felt a little relieved that Klaus was dead, if he really was anyway. She missed him, yes and she loved him, yes and if she could, she would bring him back to life but with Klaus dead, she was sort of free. She was free like all the others in town. Now she could explore the world on her own terms, fall in love and actually live. She only tried to kill Matt and Elena because she was angry at the moment but that anger had subsided and now she felt guilty for her actions.
"I'm sorry, Matt," whispered Rebekah. "If only you knew I didn't mean to. I was upset. I hope one day, you'll forgive me." She pressed her lips together to stop the tears from flowing down and she stood up, kissing him on the cheek and she tried to walk away from him but his grip on her hand was tight. He was holding her hand.
Rebekah smiled and with teary eyes, she slowly released her hand from his grip and said, "Goodbye Matt." Then she left his room, allowing him to hate her and never think of her ever again.
Bonnie's POV
Once Bonnie actually went through all of Caroline's voice messages, she rushed to the hospital and was at the reception, getting Matt's room number. She didn't go through all of them. After she heard the first one of Matt and Elena having a car accident and being at the hospital, she deemed the rest as irrelevant.
"Room 23," said the receptionist, looking away from her computer screen towards Bonnie and Bonnie ran through the halls to find room 23. She needed to see Matt, to see if he was okay, to see if there was anything she could do.
He was the only normal one among them and Bonnie wanted him to stay that way. They all needed someone as normal as him around to remind them that their lives didn't always run in circles of the supernatural.
Bonnie found the room and entered, finding Matt with his bright, sea blue eyes open, staring at the ceiling. When the door flung open, he turned his head a little to look at Bonnie and smiled feebly.
"Hey," mouthed Matt and Bonnie walked over to him, sitting on the metal chair, taking his hand and smiling back at him.
"Hey," she said and squeezed his hand a little. He looked like he was getting better. "Where's Elena?" She asked but he couldn't speak. He only shrugged a little and Bonnie nodded understandingly.
Bonnie stayed with Matt, just sitting silently while the nurses came in and out. Then when he fell asleep, she stood up and took out her phone, dialing Caroline's number swiftly.
The phone rang for only a moment and Caroline answered, she sounded a little breathless when she spoke. "Bonnie! Where are you?"
"At the hospital, with Matt," replied Bonnie. "But Elena's not here?"
Caroline fell silent on the other end of the line and Bonnie raised a brow. "Caroline?" She called, checking if she was still there.
"Bonnie…" started Caroline and Bonnie could feel it in every part of her body that something was very wrong. "You might want to go to the boarding house. I'll meet you there." Caroline told her cryptically and then she hung up on her.
Annoyed, Bonnie put the phone down and looked over at Matt. He was still fast asleep. She decided to leave for a while and then come back later to see him. He needed someone around and since neither Caroline nor Elena was around, Bonnie needed to be there.
Bonnie left the hospital and as she drove in her car, she kept thinking of all the worst case scenario's of what could have happened to Elena. She couldn't think of anything positive. It just didn't come to her. It was all around the air that she was breathing, something was wrong with her best friend.
It was a long drive to the Salvatore boarding house but she was driving over the speed limit. She wasn't afraid of getting caught because after the things she had been through, getting a ticket for driving over the speed limit was nothing.
Abby was trying to find a way to track down Klaus/Tyler so that Bonnie could undo the spell. Bonnie though, had no intention of undoing the spell. Abby was failing to understand that what she had done was the right thing. By not really killing Klaus, she had saved everyone's lives. She was sick of being pushed around and Abby was the last person that was going to force her into breaking the spell.
Bonnie reached the house and she got out quickly. She noticed that there was a black '69 Chevrolet Camaro parked in front of the house and she wondered whose car it was. It surely wasn't Damon's or Stefan's. Then whose is it?
Thinking of it as irrelevant, she hurried into the house where she could hear faint laughter and chatter. When she entered the parlor, Damon was sitting on the couch, twisting his lapis lazuli ring around his finger and there was a brunette headed girl standing, facing her back to Bonnie.
"Elena!" cried Bonnie but when she turned, she realized that though they looked exactly the same, it wasn't Elena. It was her doppelganger, Katherine. "Where's Elena?" She asked without waiting to be surprised. She should have expected Katherine to return since Klaus was dead.
Bonnie considered the idea to torture Katherine a little but she didn't. She now had a serious thing against all vampires and witches, except for Caroline.
Then from another part of the house appeared Elena, dressed in her clothes of last night. Behind her, came out a green eyed woman, a dark brown eyed woman, Jeremy and one of her very own, Lucy.
"Lucy?" asked Bonnie as she stared into Lucy's soft brown eyes.
"Bonnie!" exclaimed Elena and she ran towards Bonnie and Bonnie hugged her as they met halfway. "I'm so glad you're alright." Bonnie nodded and for just a brief moment, she felt guilty for lying to her friends but it was replaced by the feeling of vengeance against the witches, who had used her.
"I'm glad your okay but weren't you in the car with Matt?" Bonnie asked as she slowly let go of Elena.
All of a sudden, it felt like Bonnie had said the wrong words. Everyone's eyes fell, even Katherine's and they looked back up at Bonnie with pity. Elena stepped back from Bonnie and she looked over at Damon, biting her lip a little. Bonnie tried to read what Elena was trying to say but she failed.
"'Lena?" called out Bonnie and she put her hand on Elena's arm but Elena shook it off.
"Bonnie…I…" Elena was stuttering and then looked down again, then back at Damon and then back down again. "I'm…" She kept starting to say something about herself but never ended up finishing the sentence.
"I'm a vampire," said Elena so quickly that at first, Bonnie thought that she had heard it all wrong.
Bonnie's senses shut off, except for her sight. She could see Elena mouthing words that she didn't want to hear. Damon appeared next to Elena and tried saying something as well but Bonnie didn't want to hear it either.
Bonnie felt cursed. Everyone…She pressed her lips together and when she opened them, a harsh gasp escaped and her other senses flooded back into her. "No." Bonnie whispered and she ran out of the house. She heard Elena and Damon calling out her name but she ignored them.
Jumping into her car, Bonnie drove as fast as she could to get away from the boarding house. After everything Bonnie had done to make sure that Elena remained human, even she turned into a vampire. She stopped the car when it was deep inside the forest and she got out, falling onto the damp forest ground.
The warm tears streamed down her face and she cursed the witches out loud. She hated everything around her but most of all, she hated herself. She hated herself for letting Stefan and Damon live. She should have killed them with the Gilbert device months ago. She could have done something about it. Everyone I love has either died or turned into a damn, fucking vampire. Bonnie sobbed and she pressed her face against her knees.
Feeling like her whole world crashed down on her, Bonnie stared at the forest that stretched out for a while before it reached town. She wasn't crying anymore. She couldn't feel anything. Lucy was right when she said that the middle of it was exactly where she needed to be. Unfortunately, Bonnie failed. She chose a side. She chose to be with vampires. Not anymore. Everything was about to change.
I feel like I've made Bonnie a little bit too dramatic but in my mind, I can totally imagine Bonnie doing that. I thought of making Bonnie okay with Elena being a vampire but I wanted this to be her shining moment, where she could actually start to stand out.
As you should already probably know, I don't like Bonnie very much but I want to give her really judgy personality a little flare. We'll see what happens. Review? Thank you :D
