Ch:14

If I Could Time Back The Hands Of Time

When I woke up I was on a familiar couch. A piece of cake was place in front of me.

"How are you feeling sugar?" Sheila's worried voice filtered through the house.

I reached to grab the cake and pain shot down my arm and through my entire body.

"Pain…" I hissed and curled up into a ball covering my face. I just wanted the pain to go away. I needed to get away.

"You shouldn't move, I'll help you-" Was the last thing I heard her say.

I looked over to see myself not in Sheila's house, but in the Salvatore boarding house.

"What the fuck…" I whispered as I looked around I was in Stefan room.

I heard footsteps coming towards me and when I looked up I met Damon's surprised eyes.

"Faye how the hell did you get here?" Damon asked.

"I don't know…I don't remember…" I tried to sit up and winced in pain, Damon was beside me in an instant.

"Hey hey hey, what did they do to you?" Damon asked with concern.

Tears streamed down my face as I rolled myself into Damon's body. I curled up like a cat in his lap.

"Safe…" I mumbled.

"Yes, you're safe with me." He said stroking my hair.

Stefan's pov.

Stefan kicked open the door and Ben crawled to the shadows of the room so he would avoid bursting into flames.

Stefan opened the curtains too.

"Stefan!" Elena cried happily.

"You guys get outside." He said emotionlessly. The face he was looking for, the face he was worried about wasn't here. She wasn't here.

Bonnie and Elena sprinted outside.

Stefan stalked towards the whimpering vampire, and kneeled in front of him his eyes bleeding red. "Where is she?"

"Where is who?" Ben asked shaking in fear from the vampire in front of him. Anna told him that Damon was a proud murderer but it was the youngest Salvatore that he feared the most… there was a completely unhinged look that lingered in his green eyes…like he wasn't all there, it was that look, that incomplete part that scared Ben, Stefan Salvatore was half a man…that made him and his actions unpredictable.

And an unpredictable vampire was a dangerous vampire…

"Faye. Where. Is. She?" Stefan snapped.

"I-I don't know." Ben stuttered trying not to piss himself.

"You don't know?" Stefan asked darkly not believing the younger vampire.

"I-I swear, Anna took her with her earlier…" Ben said. Ben had never prayed before but he prayed to god that the elder vampire believed him or he was dead.

"Where?" Stefan snarled slamming his hand narrowly missing Ben's head, his fist easily going through the wall because of his strength and added anger.

"I don't know I-I swear." Ben whimpered he was crying at this point, it was over Stefan didn't believe him. He was going to die…again.

"When the sun goes down, leave town. If I ever see you again. I Will. Kill. You." Stefan said coldly before walking out of the room.

Where did Anna take Faye?

Faye's pov.

Damon and I were resting when he heard the front door open. He stood up to see who it was I grabbed his arm.

"Don't tell anyone I'm here." I said quickly.

"Why not? Everyone's looking for you and Elena." Damon pointed out.

"Just…don't, okay…" I mumbled.

Damon nodded. "Ok, but you have to stay here and rest, you look like death."

I gave him a tired smile before snuggling deeper into his bed and going to sleep.

I slept for a good two hours before I felt a pull. I mumbled and rolled over. I felt another pull, this time harder.

"Damon, let me sleep damnit!" I snapped sitting up, only to find myself alone.

I ran my hand through my hair in agitation trying to figure out just what the hell woke me up when I heard the whispers in my ear. I blinked cocking my head to the side listening.

It sounded like a hundred girls trying to gossip at the same time and rather loudly at that. I grit my teeth, I hated that when my friends did it.

"Get to the fucking point or leave me alone." I found myself muttering darkly and surprisingly the voiced silenced themselves.

My eyes narrowed as I looked around Stefan room suspiciously, I was about relax, pulling blankets coated in Stefan's scent over my body to go back to sleep when a soft voice soft clearly within my head.

My eyes flashed picking up the message now loud and clear.

Someone was tampering with Emily's spell… A big no no.

"No." I whispered and flashed out of the room. I don't really know how I got to the tomb so fast.

"What are you doing?" I shouted at both of the Bennett's.

They turned and looked at me in surprise and confusion. "Faye!?"

"What have you done?" I whispered looking at the broken seal. Before shooting them a displeased look. "What have you done?"

"We had to get them out." Bonnie said quickly at seeing my face.

"What?" I said shaking my head. "Who?"

"Damon and Stefan…" She said motioning to the tomb. "We had to get them out…"

Tears fell from my eyes as I stared at the two Bennett's. I shook my head why were they such heroic idiots? Didn't they know what the consequences were for breaking Emily's spell?

I knew what was going to happen despite me not knowing how but I could see the magic that flowed through, Bonnie and Sheila.

It was like watching a lightbulb flickering in and out.

"No this can't be happening I absorbed most of it." I whispered to myself in bewilderment.

My body moved on its own as I went over to them holding their hands and trying to feed them the magic I absorbed.

Sheila figuring out what I was doing pulled her hand away from mine.

She shook her head. "No."

Bonnie fell asleep in my arms I looked at her light, it was now stable.

"Sheila please." I said looking at her holding at my hand. it was right there all she had to do was take it.

She smiled shaking her head. "No, I won't accept it…I can't."

"Why not, if you don't-"

"I'll die. I know." She said quietly "But the balance must be kept, Emily's spell will make sure of it one way or another."

"This is going to kill Bonnie…" I said absentmindedly as my fingers unconsciously stroked her dark curls.

She smiled. "Bonnie is strong, besides you'll be with her."

"We could all be with her."

Sheila shook her head as I picked up Bonnie before helped Sheila as we walked back to her car.

When we got back to her house Bonnie had awakened and we talked about what happened.

I was partly disgusted.

Shelia excused herself to lay down.

Bonnie and I watched her get up to walk away, she wavered and Bonnie and I were by her side in an instant.

"Hey lemme help you" Bonnie said panicked, her hands trembling with the fear and worry of her Grams health.

"Yes let us help." I said angrily

Grams sighed looking between the two us. "I'm fine, you don't need to coddle me baby." Before looking at me. "We are supposed to protect you not the other way around."

I shook my head defiantly with a scoff. What good was the protector if they were dead?

"It was a big spell grams, I can tell it took a lot out of you." Bonnie said with a frown.

I shot the older witch a look, Bonnie even noticed and she was inexperienced.

Although if Bonnie did know just how Sheila's light was actually fading…I feared she would lose her shit.

"I'll be fine." She said with a soft smile to Bonnie.

Sheila walked off to her room; I followed after her my eyes brimming with tears.

"Hey Bonnie…" I said not looking back at her.

"Yeah?" She asked me curiously.

"Make your Grams her favorite tea for me please." I said softly.

"Yeah, ok. Maybe her drinking her favorite tea will help her feel better." She said and I didn't answer.

When she went into the kitchen I walked into Sheila room sat there next to Sheila on her bed.

"Take care of my baby, please." Sheila pleaded with me.

I nodded as tears streamed down my face "Of course, Sheila…"

"I'm not scared of death, she's a beautiful woman…but…I-I don't want to desiccate…Bonnie-" She said clutching my hand as she stared at me pleading me.

"I'll take care of it, now Sheila Marie Bennett, rest…"

"It was a pleasure to meet you in person." She murmured with a sigh before closing her eyes.

Tears continued to fall as I watched as her light flickered out. I gripped her hand and the golden bolt shot around my arm, her magic along with Emily's shooting into me.

I removed my hands from Sheila's still form as Bonnie came in with the tea a smile on her face. "Here you go Grams."

I kept my head down.

Bonnie fumbled with her covers before she noticed that her Grams hadn't responded…or moved.

"Grams…Grams?" Bonnie's voice started to crack as she shook her. "Grams!"

Bonnie looked over to me and she saw my tear stained face.

"No no no no no" she said shaking her head and looking at me, I reached out to her. "Grams! Wake up! WAKE UP!"

I hugged her as we both cried.

"She's not breathing! She's not breathing ELENA! ELENA!" Bonnie screamed from the top of her lungs in anger.

She blamed Elena…she called her wanting my sister to see the consequences of her actions. My grip on her tightened as she reached hysterics.

Elena came running in and saw Sheila unmoving despite Bonnie's shrieking and immediately called for an ambulance.

She went to touch Bonnie and I, but was repelled my searing hot electrical currents.

I glared at her and growled. "Get the hell away from us."

"Faye how did you-Stefan and Damon were worried…" She said in shock looking between Bonnie and I.

"Stefan and Damon…this is their fault, it's their fault grams is dead." I hissed the windows to Shelia's room slammed open as winds picked up from nowhere.

"No it's not their fault!" She snapped back.

"You're right it's your fault, you wanted them to open the door." My eyes widened and I felt something snapped. What sounded like a thousand angry hornets buzzing filtered through the room.

I doubled over and felt my jacket rip down my back; I straightened and glared at Elena.

"Get out!" I hissed.

"Bonnie!" Elena cried but Bonnie didn't hear her as she continued to cry out for her Grams.

The buzzing intensified and my eyes burned.

"GET OUT!" I yelled and Elena was sent flying out of the room.

When my feet touched the ground I realized I had been floating, the buzzing sound was gone. I kneeled down next to Bonnie.

"Bonnie…" I whispered to her.

She turned wide eyed staring at me. "Faye you-you have wings…"

I looked over to a mirror noticing the wings sprouting from my back for the first time. I reached out and gently touched them. A shuddered wracked throw my body.

They felt like silk against my hand, they were so beautiful it was unfathomable. Feeling their smooth perfect yet delicate texture made me feel like I was in a different world and the sight took my breath away.

"Wow, they're so pretty." She said and touched them, another shudder went through my body.

"Come with me, and I'll take you away from here…"

"But…" She said looking back at her Grams.

"Bonnie, I will be back to deal the other stuff…" I said backing up towards the window. "Come with me."

She looked at her grams once more before walking over to me. "Where are we going."

"Do you trust me?" I said holding out my hand to her as I stepped on the window sill. It felt nice outside, it was also the first time I realized I was bare footed…I like the feeling.

"Yes." She said taking my hand and I smiled at her.

"I'm gonna take you home." My wings beat rapidly becoming invisible. I held Bonnie close before pushing off the window sill.

I took Bonnie home as promised and went back to deal with paramedics.

The funeral for Shelia was one big one; she was loved dearly and would be forever missed.

I avoided Elena and both the Salvatore's like my life depended on it.

Damon seemed to be dealing with something so he didn't mind my avoidance Stefan on the other hand, tried every turn to talk to me.

Time had passed and Tyler and I stopped fighting.

He was there to hold me when Bonnie and I agreed that she should spend time away from Mystic Falls, with her family. She promised that we would talk every day, and we did.

The bachelor raffle came and went.

And it was back to school. Tyler and I walked out of school in locked arms.

We passed Stefan and Elena.

"Faye!" Stefan said grabbing my arm and Tyler quickly grabbed Stefan's in return.

"Hands off my girl Salvatore." Tyler practically growled but Stefan just glared at him, not releasing me even an inch.

"Let me go Stefan." I said softly and he turned his bright green eyes at me.

"We need to talk." He said seriously.

"No." I said snatching my arm from his hand shocking him at my strength. "We don't."

"Faye stop being difficult. We need to talk about what happened ad set the record straight about the night Shei-" Elena couldn't finish because I tackled her to the ground.

I wrapped my hands around her throat applying pressure, strangling her.

"Say her name…" I hissed. "Say her name, and I swear I'll kill you."

Tyler snatched me off of her as people started gathering around. "You don't get to say her name."

"Don't you ever say her name!" I snarled tears streaming down my face.

Tyler continued to carry me away but not before glaring at the shocked Elena and an angry Stefan. "Babe you need to calm down."

"I am calm!" I snapped and then sighed. "Sorry…" I said quietly.

He put me in the passenger seat of his car and stared at me intently.

"It's ok." He said and I looked over at him. "It's ok to be angry; it's ok to get angry sometimes. But it's how you get rid of the angry…"

I smirked "Are you telling me that I need anger management?"

"Maybe, maybe we should take it anger management together…or…" He said leaning into me.

"Or?" I asked.

"We could burn off our anger doing something else…"

Smirked and shook my head as I let me pull me into his lap and started kissing him. "God why are you always so horny?"

"You make me insatiable." He said seriously and I laughed.

He ushered me into his car and we drove out of Mystic Falls.

"Tyler?" I asked when he stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"Come on." He said and then to my surprise he put a blind fold around my eyes.

"This better not be some weird freaky S&M thing." I said seriously.

Tyler chuckled but didn't deny anything. He wrapped his arm around my waist and lead me through the forest surrounding us.

We walked for 20 minutes straight without me asking any questions. Finally though, my curiosity got the better of me.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a surprise, we are almost there." He said.

10 minute later, he stops me I hear rushing water. I frown, just how far away are we?

"Tyler where are we?" I ask.

He took off my mask and my heart stopped for a second. We were at the Mystic Falls.

"Tyler…" I whispered and turned to look at him. There was a blanket and a picnic basket with candles lite all around. It was beautiful.

"This is so beautiful." I said and he blushed. "Thank you."

I kicked off my heels and turned my back towards him, I looked over at him from my shoulder while pulling the zipper down.

I felt his eyes burning into me as I shimmed out of my dress.

"What are you doing?" His voice sounded strained.

"I'm going for a swim, care to join me?" I said before running towards the lake.

Tyler caught me before I could take a step in.

"The water is probably freezing." He said with a frown.

"Then it's a good thing I'll have you to warm me up." I said with a shrug.

"I could warm you up without you getting wet." He pointed out.

I pouted my eyes sparkling as I said. "But you like it when I'm all wet."

I watched internally smirking when his eyes darken and he licked his lips. "I do."

"Let's get soakin wet together." I whispered in his ear before hopping out of his arms and sprinting into the lake. Tyler was seconds behind me.

After we got out we ate under the stars and enjoyed each other's company.

"Faye."

"Yes Ty?" I said looking up at him, I frowned at the serious expression on his face. "Why so serious Ty?"

He pulled my face towards his, his eyes roaming over my face. "I don't deserve you…you deserve so much better than me, I know you do, I can feel it in my core…we won't last…we can't…but I'm selfish, the mere thought of seeing you with someone else…smiling at someone else…someone pleasuring you…"

I stared at him when he shook his head his jawed clenched as he tried to rid his minds of the thoughts.

"I'm so selfish and greedy, but I can't lose you…I-I don't know what I would do without you by my side. I love you so much to let you go…"

My eyes widened when he kissed me suddenly, but his stupid words were the only thing on my mind.

It was looped…and not for the better.

I blinked as his words resonated within me and I let my mind ask the questions my body going on auto piolet letting Tyler have his way and do what he wished to me flesh.

Were Tyler and I meant to be?

Would we last?

Did I even love him?

Or perhaps was I just using him, stalling, killing time till my true lover stepped up his game and claimed me like I was waiting for him to do…

I didn't have to think about the answer my subconscious already had the answer ready.

No.
