Chapter XXI
Elena POV
Damon would be the first to die. I probably would have let him go, but one of my children are dead because of him and there will be no mercy for him.
Shelia, Bonnie Jenna and Jeremy were to stay in town as Andros and Dustin were accompanying me to Georgia, while Mason, Tyler and Luca kept a close eye on Stefan and the others looked out for any more vampires in the area.
Tracking Damon was an easy enough task, we followed him to a bar in Georgia owned by a witch, named Bree. I had Dustin go in and listen in as Andros and I waited in my Escalade. A few hours passed by before Dustin came back with food with each of us and he told us what he knew.
Dustin informed me that Damon was trying to find away to open the tomb without the crystal, but there was no way in hell I was gonna let that happen. But what peaked my interested is that apparently Bree had called someone telling him that Damon was here and she obviously didn't want Damon to know about it. So I decided to wait a little longer to see who this mystery person was and what he wanted before Damon met his end.
Lee POV
I gave up everything for her, only to have her taken away from me. When Bree called me, to say I was happy would have been an understatement, I would kill Damon Salvatore tonight. I didn't care if he was older than me, he will die.
I waited for Damon to leave Bree's. It was dark out and the lot was empty except for Damon's car and a black Escalade from the other side of the lot. Acting quickly and catching him off guard, I hit him in the leg with a metal pole breaking his leg, making him go down.
Damon cried out in pain as I hit him again. I knew he would recover quickly but I would keep him down. "Who are you?" He gritted out between clench teeth. "You killed my girlfriend." I stated angrily as I hit once more, making him cry out once more.
"What she ever do? Huh? All she wanted was to visit your brother for his birthday and you killed her. What did she do?" I asked angrily before I hit one more time. "Lexi was your girlfriend?" Damon asked, trying to mask the pain I know he was feeling.
"Yeah. What did she do?" I demanded before I hit him once more. "Nothing. She didn't do anything to me." He gritted out once more. "Then why did you kill her?" I asked angrily as I moved to hit once more before a soft feminine voice stopped.
"He killed Lexi to cover his own skin." I immediately turned around to see a beautiful brunette with olive skin. She wore a grey corset top with a short white shirt that showed off her long tanned legs with ankle high black high heeled boots. {AN: Pics on profile.}
"What? Who are you?" I asked as I turned my back on Damon slightly and eyed the two well built males behind her flanking each one of her sides. "Elena?" Damon asked in confusion as she walked closer to me and signaled for the two to stay back as they moved forward as well.
"My name is Elena." She said softly as she came to stand directly in front of me, completely unafraid as she gazed at my vampire face. "Lee. And how do you know how Lexi died?" I asked as I felt myself relax slightly, she didn't feel like a threat, at least not to me…at the moment.
"Because I was there, well my children were anyway. They saw the whole thing, Damon framed and killed Lexi for all the vampire killings in my town that he was responsible for." Elena replied as I felt myself grow angry.
"Lexi's dead because you were sloppy and refused to clean up after yourself." I yelled as I sped around and yet Damon again with all my strength. Damon cried out again in pain as Elena put her hand softly on my arm stopping me from hitting him again.
"He deserves to die." I hissed as Elena moved her other hand to cup my cheek in her hand. "And he will, just not yet, but not by your hand." She commanded softly. I opened my mouth to protest, but she beat me to it.
"You deserve your revenge, but he must pay for the pain he has also caused me and my town." She said in deadly calmed voice; that sent a shiver down my spine. Damon was going to die tonight for sure, but Elena was the one who was going to do it.
I nodded in acceptance before Elena spoke. "Dustin, Andros." She commanded as she signaled for the boys to come forward. Immediately Dustin came up and knocked Damon out cold, before he fished his cars keys out of his pocket, before he carried him to his car as if he weighed nothing.
Elena pulled me towards the black Escalade as Andros stood there holding the back passenger door open for us. Elena and I slid into the car, before Andros closed the door and slid himself into the driver's seat before we moved to an unknown location.
Damon POV
Where am I? What happened? I thought as suddenly remembered what had happened. Lexi's boyfriend hell bent on revenge and….Elena! My eyes immediately fell open as I sat up only to find myself in small fire circle in the woods.
"Well look who's awake." A sarcastic voice came that I instantly recognized. My eyes instantly found the beautiful Elena standing there with Lee at her side, but what really shocked me was the two large wolves flanking them.
"You! It was you? Zack was afraid you?" I asked incredulously. "Yes. And you should be too? After all it was so easy to capture you and Stefan before." She said as she and Lee smirked at me. "Those mutts serve you." I said still unbelievingly as the wolves growled murderously at me.
"I would refrain from calling them mutts, if I were you. It's gonna make it all the more sweeter when we kill you, when you pay for all you've done, for all those lives you've taken." Elena said viciously as she moved closer to fire circle.
So Elena knew what I was, not surprise, Zack probably told her. I thought as I moved to get out of the circle only for the fire to get hotter and rise keeping me trapped. "Than if you're going to kill me get it over with. What do you want an apology first?" I asked keeping my tone smug although I was absolutely petrified.
"No. I want you to know the cold hard truth before you die." Elena said calmly as she lowered the fire circle, as she moved towards me. "What truth?"I asked as I tried to move towards her but found I couldn't moved.
"The truth about Katherine." She said simply as I felt my breath caught in my throat. "And I want to make sure you believe every word. So listen carefully and focus on the beat of my heart." She said as she came to stand directly in front of me and whisper in my ear.
"Katherine isn't trapped in the tomb. She's been free all this time. She didn't love you. She never did." Elena said as I focused on her heart beat and heard no irregularities, indicating she wasn't lying and I felt my dead heart break.
"No. You're lying." I yelled as visions began to cloud my sight. I saw Katherine, there was no doubt in mind that this woman wasn't Katherine. I could tell from the way she spoke, they way she talked, this woman was definitely Katherine and she was with Mason Lockwood and heavens know who else when she could have been with me, after she promised she would have been with me.
I felt tears come to my eyes as my sight returned and Elena moved away from me as she smiled maliciously. "And now that you know the truth. It's time to die." She said before I found I could move again as the wolves lunged at me and I immediately ran in the other direction as the wolves followed me closely behind.
Elena POV
Lee and I headed back to where we parked the cars as we waited for Dustin and Andros to return. Lee set Damon's car on fire as I sat in the backseat of my car and my phone rang. It was Jenna. "Hey Jenna." I said as I answered the phone.
Jenna: Elena.
She said sadly, but I could hear the fear and regret in her voice. "What is it? What's wrong?" I asked urgently fearing the worse.
Jenna: There is something I need to tell you. You're adopted.
She said as I felt my heart leap into my throat and a blood curling screaming ripped from the woods.
