Back to 1864

Chapter one

I walked up to Bonnie's front door, not really sure why I was here but she had said it was urgent and to come quick. And when Bonnie says that it is urgent and to come quick that is what I did. I came to the beautiful old Virginian home that I almost knew as well as my home.

When I arrived at Bonnie's, I ran up to the door and raised my fist to knock when the door flew open to my surprise to reveal my best friend grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, Bonnie I didn't expect that. How did you know I was here?" I asked Bonnie. "I heard you pull up to the house and I was sitting at the window waiting for you to arrive here. So now that you here," she said as she walked inside and I followed closing the door behind me, "I can't wait to tell you what I've found out!"

I was a little nervous about what Bonnie was talking about. She isn't so excited about things lately with all the crazy supernatural stuff that happens in Mystic Falls. And with the way things were going for me lately, with Stefan being all ripper and Tyler being a sired Hybrid and I'm also Klaus's blood bag to create new hybrids. And how my feeling for Damon are growing more and more each day, even though I will not admit them to myself let alone to him! I really couldn't cope with my life at the moment and if I could I would go back to a less crazy time like when my parents and Aunt Jenna were still alive. Back to a time when all these supernatural things in my life didn't exist.

Nobody would judge me if I said that I don't get excited about things anymore. And because of how Bonnie was so excited I was really starting to worry. Bonnie saw that I had a worried look on my face and immediately said "Oh relax Elena! It's nothing bad. It actually is kind of epic." I relaxed slightly at this and was ready for what she was going to tell me.

We were sitting down at Bonnie's beige leather couches in her living room when Bonnie asked, "Are you ready?" "As ready as I'll ever be, I guess." I said with a shrug. Her smile grew even bigger. "Okay, well you know how you said a couple of days ago that you would do almost anything if you could go back to before your life got all crazy, before your parents and Aunt Jenna died, before you knew you were adopted, before all this Klaus and supernatural stuff happened." She said. I was surprised that she just said that because I was just thinking about it.

"Yeah." I said unsurely pressing for more. "Well, I have found a spell that can send you back in time to where ever you want to go! Elena, I can send you back to before the car crash that killed your parents!" Bonnie said with excitement. I was in complete shock of what she just said and it only hit me after a few seconds. I could go home! Back to when things were normal and good.

"Bonnie, that's amazing! I could never thank you enough if you do this! Would you be able to handle doing the spell thou?" I said. "Of course I can handle this spell Elena. I wouldn't have told you about it if I couldn't handle it." She said. "Oh Bonnie, Thank you! Thank you!" I said as I hugged her. For the first time I along time I felt truly happy! I had something to look forward to. I was going to see my parents again! And Aunt Jenna! And everything would be back to normal. There was hope! And then it hit me, I would never have met Stefan and Damon. Klaus wouldn't be using me as his personal hybrid blood bag. Caroline wouldn't be a vampire and Tyler wouldn't be a hybrid. Jeremy and Matt would have Vicki back.

Bonnie drew me out of my internal babble when she said "There is only one small thing." "What's that?" Bonnie took a deep breath before saying "Because you will be the time traveller there can't be two times that you exist in. Elena, what I'm trying to say is that once I have done the spell and you are back before you parents died, this time and everything about it will disappear forever. You would have never met Stefan or Damon and you would never know about vampires, werewolves, witches and hybrids." She said.

Bonnie waited to see how I would react to this. But I had already thought about this and there was only one thing that I wanted to know. "Bonnie, I thought that was going to be what happened anyway when you first told me and I'm okay with that. The only thing is will I remember all of what has happened or will that also disappear too?" Bonnie wasn't sure of the answer and so she picked the grimoire up off the coffee table and flipped through it. When she found the right page she started reading until she was done and then she looked up and said "It doesn't say, Elena, but I'm guessing that you probably won't remember."

I wasn't sad by this because it would be better for me not to remember what had happened in the future. I would go on living a normal life have normal things that teenager my age worry about such as school, boys and where and what I was thinking of doing at university, not all of this crazy supernatural stuff. And if the time came that I would be used as Klaus' sacrifice I would be as oblivious to what was going on as I was oblivious to knowing if I was going to pass the finals at the end of the year.

I was starting to like this idea of going back and so I said to Bonnie "Okay I'm in. I want you to do the spell." Bonnie looked at me and asked "Are you sure this is what you want?" I thought about it once more and I was sure this is what I wanted. "I'm positive this is what I want, Bonnie." "Alright" she said, "But I'm going to have find some things that I need for the spell and then I am going to sleep so I suggest you do the same thing. We're going to need all the energy that we can for the spell. So come back tomorrow bright and early and we will do the spell." Bonnie said with a smile.

I was about to leave Bonnie's house when she said "Oh and Elena, you should probably say goodbye to Damon and Ric and anyone else that you need to say goodbye to." "Thank you Bonnie." I said as I hugged her goodbye and walked to my car to go home.

My last thought before I left Bonnie's was "How the hell am I going to say goodbye without Damon figuring out why I am saying goodbye!"
