Chapter 12:

"Come on guys, Stefan's keeping her busy and we don't have much time." Damon said walked down a flight of stairs.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw Elena tied to a chair, with a wounded neck, and I knife in her stomach, her head laying down.

"Oh great, the bitch has returned." I thought as I heard someone coming down the staircase. I lifted my head to see Damon, Caroline, and Bonnie. A smile instantly came to my face. Damon lifted my chin and looked me in the eyes.

"Caroline, Bonnie keep your guard up, while I untie Elena." Damon said.

"No, don't" I whispered but it was too late. He had already grabbed the ropes and the vervain had burned his hands.

"Ouch." He whispered. "Vervain. Bonnie, the ropes have vervain, you untie them."

While Bonnie was untying the ropes, Damon looked at me again and said, "Listen Elena, your gonna be ok. Your gonna get through this alive." He looked so innocent…and kind of cute. The sun made his blue eyes pop out and look so sincere and caring. His black hair matched his black shirt and jacket. It made him look so… sexy.

When he spotted the knife in my stomach he said "Oh my god! Listen Elena, this is going to hurt a little, just stay strong." I nodded as he slowly pulled it out causing more pain to come. I yelled a little, it hurt more than when Rebekah shoved it in there.

"No! Shhhh!" Damon whispered. "She'll here you! Caroline get ready! You too Bonnie."

Bonnie had untied the ropes and I was free, Damon had picked me up and started walking out through a different door. He set me down on an old bed and bit his wrist causing blood to pour out.

"Here drink, it'll heal you." He said.

It didn't look good but it would make the pain go away. I had grabbed his wrist and pushed it towards me as I began to drink the blood. It didn't taste good but it was all I had eaten in days. (Well it's been a day still, I was STARVING!) I could feel the wounds on my neck and stomach closing and my pain was easing down. It felt so much better. Then a pulled his wrist away and lay there looking at the ceiling. He slowly brushed his fingers down my cheek, it felt nice.

"Ok, now I'll be right back." He said, and then he left.

Rebekah was fighting with Caroline while Bonnie was trying to break one of the legs of the chair, to get ready to stake her. Soon Stefan was down there too helping out Caroline. Stefan had kicked her in the stomach causing her to hit the wall and fall. Caroline quickly ran to her and slapped her face, her lip began to bleed. She then tried to punch Caroline but she caught her fist and twisted her arm. Stefan came and kneed her in the stomach. When Rebekah ran behind Stefan, he turned around, quickly grabbed her hair and pulled it back causing his fangs to extend.

Finally Bonnie broke the chair leg and handed the stake to Caroline. Bonnie had began to say a spell and made Rebekah twist her leg. Then she manipulated her brain and Rebekah fell to the ground, that's when Damon took the container of vervain and poured it over face.

She screamed so loud I (Elena) could hear her and was pretty sure I almost became deaf that day.

Caroline kneed down next to Rebekah, raised the stake in her hands and as she was about to stab her, Rebekah grabbed her neck and pushed her away. Stefan tackled her, but she escaped his arms easily.

I had enough just laying around when everyone was out there risking their lives saving ME all the time. SO I got up from the bed and walked down the stairs to the room where everyone was in. Damon saw me first and told me to get back to the room but I didn't listen. I just kept walking toward Rebekah as she fell to the ground because of another one of Bonnie's spells. That's when I took the second container of vervain and poured it over her body and face. Her screams soothed me.

As Bonnie continued the spell I said, "Revenge is a bitch, isn't it?" It felt so good to be the person to cause Rebekah pain. Then as she remained on the floor, I grabbed the stake and stabbed her in the heart. As her skin began to crumble and turn green, and her veins became more visible, I smiled and stood up. I ran to hug Caroline and Bonnie.

"Oh my god! I missed you like hell!" Caroline blurted out.

"Yeah, are you ok?" Bonnie asked me.

"Yeah, Damon fed me his blood so I'm ok." I replied.

Then Stefan interrupted us and said, "Well, you guys better go. I'm gonna call Klaus and tell him what happened. It's not going to take him long to get here."

"Just a sec." I said, and turned to Damon.

I smiled a little and turned back to Bonnie and Caroline. They exchanged looks and I just rolled my eyes.
