-Disclaimer- I don't own TVD or any of its characters.
Sorry it took me so long updating, but I kind of had a writer's block with that story. I decided to make some changes, like changing P.O.V's. Anyway, I hope you like the new chapter and enjoy reading! :D
*Last chapter*
In the exact moment, that the stake got through me and the spell lifted, I could see from the side that Klaus and the others run into the cellar. Before I fell into the darkness, I heard Klaus screaming my name, than all that was left, was darkness.
*End of last chapter*
Rebekah's P.O.V.
It was as if everything happened in slow motion. I was a bit behind Klaus and couldn't see everything, but I saw how the stake plunged into Elena's heart and I saw her fall down. Klaus ran to her screaming her name and took her in his arms.
This scene broke my heart. I had never ever seen him like this, we didn't want to take the risk to say or do something, but when I saw that the Vampire was trying to take his chance and escape, I quickly went to catch him and knocked him unconscious. I didn't even have to say a word to Kol; he just took the Vampire by his feet and dragged him up the stairs.
During the entire time Elijah and Katherine were still enchained. I went straight to Elijah and freed him from the overlain ropes, he was still weak, but I let it to him to free Katherine. Freeing Katherine would be accepting the fact, that Elena gave her live to save her. The one that caused so many problems, the one who ruined our lives.
No, I wouldn't do that. I couldn't and wouldn't help Katherine and accept the fact, that Elena was dead. The short time I spent with Elena here in London, in Mystic Falls and in Rome, I grew attached to her. Now she was like a sister to me, the one I never had, the one I always dreamed of. And to see her lying in my brothers arms, so lifeless, I couldn't take it. I hoped that the Vampire, who had the nerve of hurting my brother and Elena, wood suffer. I wanted to make him suffer for everything he did and I would make sure, that he survived it all.
After looking for some more seconds at Klaus and Elena, I decided to leave the room, to let him time to say goodbye. I went outside and sat on the steps leading to the front door. The cool breeze of the night helped me to clear my head. It was only now that I let the tears, which were trying to escape, flow.
I don't know how long I sat there, but at one point I sensed somebody coming. It wasn't just anybody, it was Kol and he took me in his arms. Normally Kol would've made fun of me, but today he simply held me, stroked my back and said nothing. I had to admit that it was a shame, that in a moment of such sadness, that I had never felt closer to my family then now.
When the wind got stronger and stronger, I decided to go back down. I gave Kol one last look and took a deep breath. I was sure that I was outside for at least an hour, but I found Klaus exactly in the same position as before. He was still on the cold stone floor holding on to her, as if his live depended on. 'Maybe it does... .', I thought.
It was then that I realized just how much Elena meant Klaus. Even if they were fighting allot, they seemed to complete each other and it was also now that I regretted all this hate I had on Klaus and Elena. If I hadn't been so consumed in my anger I could've have spent way more time with the both of them. Of course I could still spend time with Klaus, but I knew that if I could get out of that trance, that he wouldn't be the same as before.
I slowly and quietly walked up to Klaus and kneeled next to him. After another deep breath I put my hand on his arm, to try to take him out of that state. The only thing which caused my movement, was Klaus to shrug it off and continued staring at Elena.
"Klaus", I tentatively asked. "Klaus, please listen." After another couple of minutes Klaus finally looked up. "Okay, now we're going to do this step by step. First you have to slowly let go of Elena." "No! I can't!", he shouted at me and turned back to Elena. He cradled Elena back in his arms and started to whisper into her ear. He kept saying: "I'm so sorry, Elena. So sorry. I should have been here sooner. I'm so sorry." He kept saying that, not mattering to hide his tears.
30 minutes later I couldn't take it anymore. "Klaus, now stop! Look, she is gone! I know it's hard, but you need to let go!", I shouted at him.. "But don't you realize it? She is the one I love! She should still be here, laughing and breathing. But instead she is dead! It is my entire fault! It's my fault that she's dead!", he shouted right back at me.
Just then Kol and Elijah descended the stairs. Kol raised his eyebrows, as if asking, if Klaus was okay. My only response was to shake my head. I was slowly giving up on the entire situation and couldn't seem to find an answer. That's when Elijah and Kol came up behind Klaus and put their hands on his shoulder. This seemed to reassure Klaus and with some more silent encouragement, he slowly stood up never putting Elena down.
Like a groom would carry his bride, Klaus slowly walked up the stairs with Elijah, Kol and me in tow. From behind it looked like Elena was sleeping, especially now with the Moonlight shining on her face. We all went to the car and Klaus went to sit in the back of the car, still with Elena in his arms. Katherine, who was sitting in the driver seat, started the car and drove us back to the house.
As if Gloria felt that something was wrong, she opened the door, before the car completely stopped. I think she saw our looks, because she looked down and then came in direction of the car. Elijah took the chance and whispered something into Gloria's ear. Probably a short version of what happened.
When Klaus got out of the car, with help from Katherine and Kol, Gloria nearly screamed, but controlled herself in the last moment. With silent tears running down her face, she went up to Klaus, took hold of Elena's hand and together they went into the house. Without hesitating we all followed.
Gloria's P.O.V.
When I saw Elena, I wanted to scream. It was like seeing your own child dead. The pain nearly made me breakdown, but I knew that for now I had to be strong. I couldn't stand the sight of seeing Klaus in such distress. I knew from the beginning, that Klaus had feelings for Elena and even if at the beginning Elena didn't want to admit it, her body language said it all.
To give myself and Klaus some strength, I went up to Klaus and took Elena's hand. And like this we walked into the house. Once inside Klaus led us to his bedroom and gently put Elena down on his bed, like sleeping child. I thought Klaus would lay or sit next to her, but no. He kneeled down on the side of the bed, took Elena's hand and put his head on it. From my point, it looked like Klaus was praying and maybe he was even doing that.
I stayed a certain time in the room, just looking at them. The entire time I was crying my silent tears and had flashbacks of time I spent with Elena. It was a short time, that I knew, but during this time I really got attached to her.
After a couple of minutes, I left the room to get something to drink. The family, that's what I called the rest of the Mikaelson's, where al near the counter drinking too. Nobody was speaking. It was so silent, that I even considered being deaf. This weighted so hard on my conscience that I went to start the coffee machine, just to hear at least something.
When I had finished my mug and cleaned it, I saw Klaus entering the kitchen. He looked so pail and fragile, that I couldn't believe my eyes. He went to stand next to me and after a certain time of silence, he quietly said to me, that I could go and see her.
From the room door it really looked like Elena was sleeping. I went to sit next to her, took her hand and kept looking at her face. Her temperature was already colder than the one of a normal person. It was then that I saw something, that wasn't normal. On the back of her right hand, was something that wasn't there before. There where the wedding ring would belong, was the mark of a half-moon. From the moon spread out on both sides two lines. Seeing that they continued onto the back of the finger I turned her hand. There, exactly on the other side of the moon was a small sun. This sun connected the two lines coming from the moon.
I nearly missed those marks, but I was sure, that the last time I saw Elena they weren't there. They weren't extremely visible, but with the light of the moon shining into the room, I could easily see them. What really stunned me, was that the moon seemed to have a light bluish glow.
I was too deep in thoughts to feel or see anything, but suddenly I had the feeling that Elena's fingers were moving. 'That's can't be Gloria. That's only wishful thinking.' To be sure I wasn't losing my mind, I looked up to Elena's face. Only to be left screaming at her, when I saw that her eyes where wide open and when I heard her say "Gloria?", I went straight into panic mode and fell unconscious.
So, first of all… SORRY, that it took me so long updating. I hope that this chapter made up for my absence and hope that you all liked to read it. So please leave a review and let me know what you thought about it.. :D
