TVD Elena dies:

Chapter 25

Jeremy glared over Damon's head wondering about his older sister…or was it cousin…damn, he thought trying to derail those feelings once more. Bonnie's sweet face filled his mind, and with it came a grasp on the here and now. "The Haze is getting worse."

"Where is it?" Damon's voiced seemed almost tired.

Jeremy looked around, eyes widening. "Everywhere…I don't know what they are doing…"

With brows drawn, Damon turned toward the younger Gilbert. "Elena."

Their eyes met with understanding and they shared a nod. "What are we missing here," was Jeremy's next question.

"The killings…they have to mean something. Twenty four are dead." When Jeremy didn't respond, he quirked his head in the direction he was staring.

"Uh, Damon…there is twelve more. He's done something…wait…STOP!" Jeremy clutched at his head in some silent struggle. "Not all at once."

Damon came to his side and tried to rest a hand on the boy, but he was quickly flinched off. "Look, I can only hear one at a time…" to Damon he stared for a minute. "They are saying something."

"Who?"

"Ghosts..."

A few moments paced by while Damon felt a familiar plight fill his hungry gut. It made him all the more moody, and all the more edgy to get to his lady. If they hurt her…but who was he kidding? He already knew people had hurt her. And Stefan.

"Ok I got something. They have all of them in Silas' chamber. They are strongest in the haze. They are saying…? WHAT?"

"What, What," Damon asked with his hands played outward.

"They have Klaus, and they are going to kill Elena."

Kol watched the two guys about 50 feet from them watching, waiting. He begun walking when he heard the mention of Elena's name. "You can't let them raise Silas."

Both Jeremy and Damon turned then shocked by his presence. "What do you want Kol?"

"Are you always at the center of something Gilbert?" Kol gave his crazy smile.

Damon squinted at the evil smirk Kol was giving. "He's a potential."

"Connor is dead…I think he IS, Salvatore. "

Damon didn't want to waste time. "You want your brother."

"He seems to think that helping Tatia is more important than family. But of course the stupid bitch will have betrayed him. She's far older than he thinks. She belongs to that thing, and he needs to stay dead."

"We don't care about her."

Jeremy watched the exchange and decided to tell Kol the latest. "There are twelve dead witches here. Stefan is made to forget, Bonnie's mother is human, and Tatia is in Katherine's body. They have finished the triangle they needed to raise him."

"Fuck," Kol yelled at them. "12 humans, 12 demons, and now 12 witches. Its the expression triangle of power."

"Careful, the haze make you madder." Jeremy stepped back when the immortal glared at him.

"Look, we want Elena and Stefan, you want Klaus."

"There's no teaming up here. Do you know what that immortal will do if he gets free-with his woman alive?"

Damon ground out, "Well what do you want us to do?!"

Kol shrugged, "get rid of her, and the haze is as good as gone. Then get the cure from them and shove it down his throat before that witch of yours destroys the other side." He looked at Jeremy with a hard stare. "That's the purpose of the hunters."

"He won't stop," Jeremy said matter of fact.

"I don't care. You won't be able to stop them if she lives. She wants to bring back all the others."

Damon interjected a bit hostel, "then what? Where will she go when she dies? It's not like you can pull people out of heaven or hell."

Kol inclined his head. "I would say let them torch the place, but having dear old daddy here to hunt us again is not an option. She needs to be put back there."

"Why did she get out?" Damon asked.

Jeremy stepped forward, "But then Silas would just follow her."

"Right, so they can't go to the same place. They would simply come back some way somehow." To Damon he said, "Your little lover caused this. She needs to die. It's a paradox."

"If Katherine is dead, and Elena is dead, there is no more paradox."

Jeremy and Damon exchanged a look. Again Kol said, "Elena needs to go. As long as she is on this plane it can happen again. She cannot live. She cannot have the cure either. Children will only further complicate the issue."

"Why?" Both Damon and Jeremy quipped. Both voiced varying tones of discourse.

Kol turned unable to hide a smile. "IF you do these things, Elena will change. They are all connected-when Tatia dies…Elena will go crazy. You have to remember, her soul was bound by my mother. There is no way around it. They seek to sacrifice her for Silas. Once they do that-Tatia becomes whole again. You don't want that bitch whole."

"Why," Jeremy began, "is it OK for Tatia?"

"Seriously? She was the first one of these doppelgangers. An ancient being that very few know anything about. Elena's soul was meant to be someone else's body. This charade has altered the course of time. It is not meant to be. The spell that even made Silas was based on old blood. Even if you could save her, what makes her Elena is tied in with what made Tatia herself. That will drive the girl crazy." To Damon he mentioned, "she won't be the girl you once loved."

"Are you sure she will go crazy or do you just want this over?"

"Tatia, she is the last. It wasn't that she was self-centered. Her demise came from the fact that she betrayed the last of her kind."

Damon and Jeremy exchanged a look. When they looked back, Kol was already gone.

"Fuck!" Damon yelled tossing a hand through his hair.

Bonnie stared at the scene before her with horror. Elena was on the verge of death; Stefan was inflicting pain on her while Tatia laughed. Twelve bodies began to stink up the tiny whole they were in. There was an opening now-one she was sure meant bad news for all of them. Her eyes met Klaus's.

Just like she'd done once, Bonnie managed to crumple up a paper in her hand and tried to focus on Jeremy. There was no need for a pen this time. She signaled him with her eyes and felt the intensity of his. She had to let Jeremy know where they were before they finished whatever they'd started here. The magic welled up inside her, and she concentrated while the others focused on Elena. In a matter of hours, they planned on using Elena to bring Silas back. She was curious to know if they really needed her blood, or if it was the perfect fitting to Tatia's end game plan.

She guessed the latter. At least summoning th epower was easy. How long would Shane let her live before she became expendable?

Without pause, she looked down and noticed the note was gone. I hope this works, she thought to herself. She focused on her mother's still form as she held back the tears.

Jeremy was waiting for the microwave to ding his lunch when the note suddenly appeared. Looking around, he thought Damon may have thrown it at him for some reason. Oddly, when he turned Damon was nowhere to be seen. He's probably in Elena's room, he thought with a tight chest.

Sure enough, he mounted the stairs and saw him sitting on her windowsill. "hey," he said to the mourning vampire.

"I can't kill her. There's something he isn't telling us."

Jeremy watched Damon, shrugging. "What can we do?"

"We have no idea where they are…" Damon sighed and put his elbow on his knees. His head fell into two broad hands and he simply looked at the floor.

"Were you just down stairs?"

"No," Damon said tersely. "Why?"

Jeremy held up a balled up paper in his hands. "This came out of nowhere."

Damon was up in a flash, grabbing the paper and opening it. Bonnie had done something like this when rose had taken Elena. Sure enough, when he opened it, there was the location. "We're gonna need another witch…getting there is going to take too long. Make the calls, call her father, something."

Jeremy ran from the room.

Elena, he thought to her. Just hold on lover. I'm coming.

She didn't know if she had really heard him or not. It was like he was with her, hold on; I'm coming, echoed in her head. "Damon,' she muttered knowing that he must be alive. Whatever their connection was, Elena was sure now. In the dim light of the cave, she tried to open swollen lids.

How could this bitch do this to her? She was just born, she hadn't asked for this. The pain was too immense, her body was shutting down. I have to hold on for him. I have to.

The only way she could imagine making it through all this was to turn off the pain. Her body was at its end, and she feared she wouldn't last long enough to see his face. Poor Caroline had gone through torture at least for separate times now. It was all she had left in her. Let them beat her until she died. She no longer cared. She did what she told Jenna to do, turned it off.

After that, everything seemed so much easier.
