Recap:

She sat up, the paleness had left her face and she spoke.

"Hi guys'"

It was working.

Chapter 11

Bonnie's POV

"Elena?" I asked.

"Hmm?" She replied.

"Ho... How are you...? How are you alive?" I finally managed to get out.

"What do you mean?" She asked, looking confused.

"Do you not remember anything from the last few days?" Stefan asked.

"No... Should I?" She asked.

"Well you were out of it for 3 days. Don't you remember before it?" I asked.

"Before what? All I remember was all three of us being at your house, and we were talking about what you had found about the vampire hunter stuff." She replied getting confused. Stefan let out a sigh of relief. I don't know why- I was going to tell her anyway.

"What happened after that?" Elena asked after a few seconds of silence.

"It wasn't just what I told you that happened that night. There was something else." I said.

"No Bonnie please?" Stefan begged.

"No, Stefan. She deserves to know." I replied vigorously. He just slouched in his seat, looking miserable and guilty. Elena gestured me to carry on, so I did. I hesitated, seeing Stefan so unhappy.

"I remember you saying that you had found something from one of the books. But nothing else. What is it Bonnie?" Elena asked. Stefan just continued slumping in his chair.

"Stefan ... Stefan said something pretty mean to you." I said quietly, even though I knew she could hear me. Stefan jumped out of his seat and ran over to Elena. Both Elena and I jumped.

"Elena. I want you to know that when Bonnie tells you what I said, I love you and I didn't mean to say it. I was in a blind rage and I didn't think about what I was saying. Just remember that." He exclaimed. He sat up and walked back to his seat. All of us were stunned into silence. After a few moments, Elena got up out of her chair and walked over to Stefan.

"What did you do?" She asked him.

"He-"

"I want to hear it from Stefan." Elena barked at me. I just sunk back in my seat.

"Stefan, I trust you. Tell me the truth." She told him in her calm and beckoning voice.

"Ok. I... I said something pretty mean to you. I didn't mean it, I was in a rage at the news Bonnie told us." Stefan said. As the story unfolded, you could see Elena's face go paler and paler as the power of realisation overtook her body. When Stefan had finished explaining to her what had gone on, she sat back into her seat and just sat there.

"Thank you." Elena said quietly. Then silence fell onto the room. It was deafening. We all just sat there, waiting for someone to break the silence. Stefan was sitting crying silently in his seat, and Elena just looked completely and utterly out of it. She was staring into nothing, her eyes were glazed over. I looked over to each of them and saw their feelings being poured out of their bodies, their souls being destroyed. But, Elena didn't know about she trying to kill herself yet. That would kill her.

After a few more moments of silence, Elena stood up out of her chair and walked over to Stefan. A really horrible feeling fell over me as I looked at her walking over to him. She stood in front of him and looked down at him.

"Elena, I am so, so-" Stefan was cut off by Elena putting her finger in front of his lips.

"Let me speak first." She said. Stefan nodded.

"What you did was soul destroying and has made me feel sick that you would think of me like that. But, when I think over the whole situation, I realise that I can't take it out on you. I realise that it was a blinding rage and I can understand you not wanting to become like me. I love you, but you are not a vampire, and you shouldn't have to be. If you are going to be a hunter, then so be it. I'm not going to try and stop it." Elena leaned down and kissed him on cheek. Stefan stood up.

"Elena. You don't know all of it yet. I didn't finish. You tried to kill yourself after I upset you. You injected yourself with wolves' venom. And a lot of it too." I explained. My mouth dropped open at what I just said. I wasn't meant to say that, it just rolled off my tongue.

"Bonnie!" Stefan screeched at me.

"What? That can't be right? How am I alive?" Elena asked, looking very confused.

"Klaus." I said. Both Stefan and Elena glared at me.

"Klaus? How on earth did he help? And how did you find him? I haven't spoken to him since 1864! He disappeared! I found his number years back and kept it in my phone, but I never thought he would help?! He was, and probably still is an evil bastard!" Elena screamed.

"Elena." I said. I stood up and walked over to her.

"Elena, Klaus saved your life. Well, all three of us did. Stefan and I fed you our blood to keep you going until earlier today when Klaus turned up. He fed you his blood and a few hours later, you are fine." I explained. She shut up after that. She looked back and forth from me and Stefan. After a few moments, she stood up and hugged us both.

"Thank you. Both of you." She said, with tears running down her face,

"It's ok." Both Stefan and I said in unison.

After that, Elena nodded and smiled at us both with tears running down her face. She turned around and started to walk away, then she stopped in her tracks and started to cry harder. She then ran up the stairs. She was gone within the blink of an eye.

Stefan's POV

I looked over at Bonnie and she just sighed. I walked out of the living room, then up the stairs to Elena's bedroom. I knocked but she didn't answer. Nothing. I walked into her room slowly and she was sitting on her bed in a ball.

"Elena? What's wrong?" I asked quietly. I could hear her whimpering and it was torturing me hearing it.

"I just can't… I can't believe you all helped save my life. I… I don't deserve it. Why did you save me?"

"Elena. You know why we saved you. Because we both love you. You may be a vampire, but you are good. You haven't turned your humanity off, you have feelings. I love you so much, and I would save your life over and over again if I had to. I will find a way of not being hunter if I am one, even if it does mean becoming a vampire, because even though there would be so many horrible and hard things to overcome, at least I would get to spend an eternity with you. You deserve our love and care, because you are amazing. You really are." She was crying tears of happiness. She looked me in the eyes and smiled at me. She knew she would be ok. She has me and Bonnie. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek and held her face. I smiled at her and then hugged her tightly. I never wanted to let go. It felt amazing. It was like heaven was raining goodness all over me.

When I pulled back, I looked at her again and smiled. I was happy.

"I know I cannot be forgiven for what I did to you, but I want to start over. I didn't mean what I said, but can-"

"Stefan, stop." She interrupted me. "I have already forgiven you. You helped save my life, you fed me your blood. You have been given a clean slate, a second chance. I love you." She explained. I leaned over again and kissed her passionately on her lips.

"Thank you, Elena." I said. Elena wiped the tears from her face and stood up. She hugged me tight, then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. We walked down the stairs to find Jeremy and Bonnie chatting. I guess they had got home. Jenna was in the kitchen preparing food. Bonnie smiled as she saw us walk down the stairs hand in hand. Jenna walked in from the kitchen with a large plate of little appetisers. They looked delicious. I hadn't eaten much in the last 24 hours as Bonnie only brought me a bagel while I was with Elena. Other than that, I hadn't eaten. I was starving. We all sat in the living room around the food on the table and chatted for ages. Elena and I were snuggled up together on the sofa, Jenna next to us and then Bonnie and Jeremy on the other sofa.

After about an hour of talking and laughing, Bonnie and I left the Gilbert residence. I drove Bonnie home as it was late. As I pulled up outside her house, she hugged me and then walked into her house. I drove off with my music blaring out. I drove home raving to my music, without a care in the world. As I pulled up on the driveway of my home, I could hear Damon's music over my own and my music was on full blast. I turned the engine off and walked into the house to find Damon, again having a party with a bunch of compelled and careless humans. I hadn't been home in a few days. Goodness knows what he has been up to. The house was a mess.

"Ah, brother! How nice it is to see you again!" Damon said in a cheery but sober voice.

"Hello Damon." I replied with less excitement.

"Long time no see, eh? How is the lovely Elena? Not dead?" He asked sarcastically. He only knew about Elena because I told him why I wasn't going to be home.

"She's fine, thanks." I replied, not really paying attention to what he was saying.

"Hey, how come she can walk around in the sunlight and not sizzle like a sausage?" He asked curiously.

"You have to have a ring. A daylight ring. It has to have a special stone in it; a Lapis Lazuli, but it also has to be enchanted by a witch." I replied. It would be nice to go out with Damon during the day. Brother bonding was needed.

"A witch? And where the hell do you expect me to find one of those?" He asked. I wasn't sure if I should mention Bonnie to Damon. Damon could be very forceful, especially being able to use compulsion. He might hurt Bonnie to get her to do the enchantment.

"I don't know. But they must exist; otherwise, how is Elena walking and not sizzling like a sausage?" I replied, quoting him. He just gave me a smug look and walked away to return to his 'dinner'. I left him be and went to bed. I was shattered.

Damon's POV

How does Elena walk around in the daylight without burning to death? Every time I touch a piece of sunlight, I burn. I couldn't stop wondering this ever since Stefan told me that Elena was a vampire like me. Stefan hadn't been home in a few days as Elena was dying or something. So I decided to get rid of my thoughts by having a bit of a drink. As it was dark, I ran at vampire speed to the alleyways of Mystic Falls to find some good-for-nothing people that I could drink from. I compelled them to come home with me; I didn't like drinking in public in case I got caught. So I went home with about 4 girls and started to enjoy my dinner. About an hour after I got home, Stefan walked through the door. It was rather late, like half 11. He looked pretty tired, but I was a good time to ask him about the daylight walking. I greeted him as he came in but he seemed like he didn't really care. I followed him into the kitchen and he said something about a ring and a witch and a stone. A Lapis Lazuli I think. What a weird name. I needed to find a witch to make me this special ring so I could go out during the day. Stefan said he doesn't know any witch, but they must exist because otherwise, how was Elena still alive?

Stefan walked away after our conversation, up the staircase and into his bedroom. I have a very negative feeling about whether Stefan was telling me the truth. I know he is my brother, but I do not deserve to be lied to. So after I had heard him get changed and into his bed, I ran up the stairs and into his bedroom at vampire speed. I stood in front of him and he jumped back.

"Jesus Damon! Don't scare me like that!" He commented. His heart was racing; I could hear it. I grabbed hold of Stefan's shoulders tightly and made sure he was looking me in the eyes. My eyes started to dilate as I compelled Stefan.

"Stefan, do you know a witch?" I asked him.

"Yes." He replied.

"Who?" I asked.

"Bonnie Bennett." He replied truthfully. Compulsion was great.

I dropped the compulsion as was gone before he realised it had happened.

Bonnie Bennett, I am coming for you.
