Never Let Me Fall

THE DEPARTED

After getting Jeremy's text, I literally went to my car and drove to the hospital and ran straight to Jeremy. I go one day or two without seeing my friend and find out she's in the hospital. Again! The first time was that car accident on Wickory Bridge with her parents. This time it's because of Klaus. Klaus... it's always Klaus!

"How's Elena is she fine?" I asked Jeremy. "Yeah she's fine. She's getting released early." Jeremy told me. After a while, Caroline, Tyler, Matt, Jeremy, and I helped Elena get home safely. As we were getting home Tyler and I caught up on things. He told me about him breaking the sire bond, and that Klaus was no longer a threat to us and that I'm no longer his so called 'Minion' anymore.

Man, one day, and I missed all the action!

After a while I got a call from Damon. "Hello?" I responded. "Hey, I was wondering... which lucky girl wanted to help me hide Klaus's body from a crazy psychopathic vampire killing hunter today?" Damon said. I rolled my eyes. "What do you want Damon?" I asked him, annoyed that he called. "I need your help to hide Klaus's body, from Alaric. If Alaric finds Klaus he'll stake him and then if our bloodline comes from him then we're all screwed. If not,... well... then you might as well say goodbye to your hybrid freak cousin right now then." He said. I froze at that point.

Even though Klaus couldn't do much harm in the condition he was in, he was still a threat to my family.

"Fine. I'll help you. But I'm only doing this for Tyler! Now...where is the body?" I asked him. "Meet me at the storage units half way across town." Damon told me before hanging up. I said goodbye to Elena and the rest before I got in my car and drove off to meet up with Damon.

Damon, Bonnie, and I were walking through the storage unit, "So where's the body?" I asked again. "Ana's right...where is it. As long as it's unspelled, Alaric is on witch away from finding it." Bonnie stated. "Hidden. I was gonna use unit 666, but I figured it would be a little too obvious so... 1020. Mini fridge, a couple birdcages, a bow of old playboys, one beef jerkified original." Damon told us, as he opened, unit 1020, showing a large noticeable coffin that held Klaus's body. I helped open the casket only to see Klaus's body. He opened his eyes. "Oh creepy." Damon commented. I just smiled at how hideous and weak he looked. Today, just couldn't get any better! "I need a minute." Bonnie told us. I looked at her in confusion.

He didn't look THAT bad!

"Just jam the witch locator, bat signal or whatever and get it on with Bonnie." Damon instructed her. "Elena and Jeremy lost Jenna and Alaric because of him. Tyler's a hybrid, my mother's a vampire. Could you give me a minute to just appreciate the sight of him like this?" Bonnie said to us. I nodded and followed Damon outside the unit.

I understood what Bonnie was going through. Practically everything that happened to our friends and families were because of him. He was the cause of it. Sure he didn't turn Bonnie's mom personally, but he was the reason why Damon had to kill her. To save Elena.

Alaric was in the unit now.

Duh, duh, duh!

Rebekah had came over to the unit to pick up Klaus's body.

Talk about bad timing!

After a while when Alaric wasn't looking, Rebekah, Damon and I secretly tried to roll Klaus's casket to the truck, but Alaric found us and practically beated us down to the ground. Alaric had the coffin now. He pulled the white oak stake out to show he was gonna kill Klaus. "No!" Rebekah shouted at Alaric. "No, don't!" Damon told her, while holding her back. "Rebekah, no!" I said holding her back too. "No! No! No!" Rebekah cried. Alaric suddenly staked Klaus.

Everything stopped at that point.

I let go of Rebekah, but Damon still held her back. I watched in shock and horror as Klaus's body started to burn from the stake. It soon hit me that it was all over. Stefan, Damon, Caroline, Tyler, and practically everyone I knew and love was now going to die right before my eyes. Even if Klaus didn't create Stefan and the others bloodline, I still new for a fact that Tyler was gonna die...and...and it was all my fault. Tears started forming in my eyes as I thought about it. I was about to lose my only cousin, who I considered a brother, today. I shook my head at that thought trying so hard to keep tears from falling. I already lost my family once, I don't want to lose them again. The point on thinking about Tyler and his sudden death reminded me of my parents dying on me all over again.

First my grandparents, which is normal, then my parents, which is sad, but my cousin...now that's just cruel!

"Next." Alaric said. The man was gonna fucking kill us! "Rebekah, run. Run!" Damon and I both warned her. Alaric went to go chase her down giving Damon and I a chance to call our loved ones.

After a while

"Damon." I started. "Yeah?" He asked. He had just got of the phone with Stefan. "If you and I met before my parents died...would you...would you have spared them?" I finished. He sighed. "Look, Ana...I am and will truly always be sorry for what I did. All a guy wants, before his supposedly death, is to be forgiven. So can you, Ana? Can you forgive me for what I did?" He asked. I thought about.

"I forgive you. After all, my parents were gonna die sooner or later in life. I don't know why, but I could feel it. I knew they were going to end up dead at some point of my life, but I never thought much of it. And I grew up to be a pretty good 16 and 17 year old, going on to 18 anyway, so it doesn't really matter anymore. If I can forgive Stefan for everything that happened between us before, I can pretty much forgive you too." I told him. He smiled a bit.

"But here's what I don't get, Damon. It's very rare for you to say sorry to someone and mean it. When you say it to others, sometimes, it's fake. But when it comes to me you say it easily and with the truth. Why?" I asked. "You may not know this, but back in 1864, I knew Amelia, and lets just point out what a stubborn squirrel she was! Anyway, obviously she and I didn't get along. I liked her, she didn't like me. I complimented her sometimes, she turned me down, I wanted to at least be a good close friend to her, even though she didn't say or show it, I could tell she was laughing in my face. It was near the end, when I found out she was a vampire, that we grew closer. But the minute we became best friends, a month later, she and Katherine were taken to the church to burn. I never saw her again. You, on the other hand, remind me a LOT like her. And right now I feel as if you're like my second chance to have a friend. I already lost Alaric...I don't intend on losing you too. You're my new drinking buddy!" Damon told me. I cracked a smile at the end and laughed slightly. So did Damon.

"So you knew who Amelia was this ENTIRE time but never bother to tell me?!" I stated. "Hey, in my defense, you NEVER asked!" He pointed out. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his statement, but I let it go.

Knowing this might be the last conversation we'd have together.

Later on, I gave Tyler a call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ty...I'm...I'm just calling to check on you. Are you okay?"

"No, Ana, I'm not okay. The council knows Caroline is a vampire and I'm a hybrid. We're both leaving town."

"Wait what!? How the hell did they find out!?"

"Alaric ratted us out to them."

"Fuck!"

"Yeah, I know. Look I'm sorry Ana. I'm packing my bags right now. I need to leave or else the councils will kill me."

"Okay (Sniff)."

"Hey, hey, hey...are you okay, Ana? You're crying."

"No don't worry about me, Ty I'm fine I...just... I'm just gonna miss you, that's all!"

"Okay. Anyway I have to go."

"Okay, where will you be going?"

"I don't know...anywhere but here."

"Okay, I hope you find peace, Ty."

"Um...okay? I'll see you when I get the chance."

"Okay...Goodbye Ty."

"Bye, Ana."

After I hang up, I started to cry uncontrollably. It felt just like my parents death all over again. I never thought I would feel this way again. But...here I am. It was too bad I couldn't see Tyler just one last time before he...he...kicked the bucket.

After a while Alaric came back and started kicking Damon's ass. There was nothing I could do. They were at it for a while, until Alaric started feeling weak.

Oh no.

"What's happening?" Alaric asked, himself more then to anyone really. "Oh no." Damon and I said to ourselves. "What's happening?!" Alaric asked again. He soon fell down to his knees. Damon went up to him and practically cradled him in his arms. "No. No, no, no, no, Ric, Ric! You're not dead. You're not dead." Damon said, to himself more so to anyone. I stood there and watched his body turn grey. Tears started to form in my eyes as it all clicked in. No that's impossible, Elena's not...no, no, no, no, no! I refuse myself to believe that...even for a minute...no! After a brief moment, Damon started to cry a bit, which was ATOMICALLY rare for him to do! I did the same a bit. I let a few tears fall.

How could nearly everyone I care about, die right before my eyes in just one night?

The Hospital

After a quick speedy ride home, I again ran in the hospital with Damon behind me. We burst through the doors, where we spotted Dr. Fell, who helped Elena when she first came into the hospital earlier today.

"Where is she?" Damon asked her. Seeing this, Dr. Fell walked up to us to stop us from walking. "No, Damon wait." She said. "Where is she?!" Damon repeated, a bit harsh with demand. She grabbed a hold of Damon to stop him from walking officially, so he could listen to her. She did the same for me too.

"You need to know, that when Jeremy brought Elena in here earlier tonight, her injuries were worse then I could let on. It wasn't a concussion, it was a cerebral hemorrohage, bleeding to the brain." She explained to us. "What are you saying?" Damon asked. "What does that even mean?" I asked. "He was so worried, I didn't want to tell him, but I-I helped her. She needed my help." She confessed. I looked at her in confusion for a bit. It soon sinked in.

I never understood what doctors meant when they us medical terms and all, but after all these years THIS is the ONE thing I understood. "You what?" Damon asked her, apparently he still didn't understand. "Damon..." I said under my breath. "What?" He replied back. I never thought I'd say these words, but I had to say them. Tears were forming in my eyes as I was about to say it.

"She's a vampire."

I said under my breath. Everything stopped at that moment.

(This episode and chapter was so heartbreaking and shocking in the same time. For starters Ana thought she'd never see Tyler and Elena again...now...we don't know what'll happen next! Anything's possible! You just don't know what to expect! How will Ana be able to 'handle' vampire Elena? Will their friendship change for the better or for worse? I'll try my best to make season 4 tolerable.)
