I do not own the Vampire Diaries
Elena: You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?
Bonnie: Pretty much.
Boy: Jeremy, good batch, man
Elena: I'll be right back.
Bonnie: Please be hot.
"Oh my God, not again! This is the worst." Bonnie groaned and Stefan couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"I told you it's fine," Stefan said amused.
"Easy for you to say," Bonnie grumbled.
[Elena enters the boy's bathroom.]
Boy: Whoa! Pants down, chick!
[Elena grabs Jeremy's face, looking into his eyes to see if he's high.]
"Elena there was no need to be so rough with him." Bonnie scolded, she and Jeremy might be on the outs regarding their relationship but she would still defend him.
"He was doing drugs, what else should I have done? He was destroying himself I couldn't just do nothing." Elena defended herself.
"No one said you should have done nothing Elena, what Bon Bon's trying to say is that there was another way you should have gone about trying to help Jerbear because your way wasn't helping him, instead it was pushing him further towards drugs," Lucy advised.
"And how would you know? You know nothing about us so stop acting like you do." Elena shouted at her completely frustrated with the bitch.
"As a matter of fact I do, I know everything about all of you, your past, present, and future, and not only of your world, but others too. There are some, where Elena has a badass sister that falls for one of the badboys, AKA, Damie, K, Wolf Boy or Nicky or the nobler ones, like Lijah or Steffie..."
They all were shocked at this one but also intrigued, what would have happened had Elena Gilbert had a sister? A badass one at that? Jeremy especially was curious about what it would have been like to have another sister.
"...some, where Damie falls for Bon Bon..."
Damon and Bonnie both jerked in their seats before looking at each other wide-eyed in complete and utter horror whilst the others were amused or disgusted.
"...some, where both Nikky and Lijah are fighting over Elena instead of Damie and Steffie..."
The Mikaelson brother looked particularly disturbed at the thought of having the situation with Tatia all over again and with Elena of all people, both Klaus and Elena looked revolted at her words. Kol couldn't help but smirk in amusement at their faces.
"...some, where K and Bon Bon are together."
Kol and Bonnie looked at each other awkwardly, they didn't know each other that well so it didn't disturb them but they did know that it would never happen.
"...some, where Bella from Twilight falls for Damie, Nicky, Wolf Boy, Lijah or Kol..."
The vampires looked revolted at the thought, especially Damon, twilight was, in their opinion, an insult to what they are. Like really, come on, sparkling in the sun? What was the author thinking? They were predators not pretty jewels. (No offense to Twilight fans I just was trying to explain from their point of view)
"...and a lot more so yes Elena I do know a lot about all of you, that is how I formed my opinion of you being a complete and utter bitch. Jeremy deserved better, as did every other character...uh...I mean person...well technically most of you are not human...so vampire, werewolf, and witch respectively." Lucy amended.
"You're cute when you're rambling darling," Kol said smirking at her red face.
"Shut up K." Lucy pouted covering her red face.
"Even still, you shouldn't lecture me on how I treat my brother, that is none of your business. It's not like you understand what it was like to have a drug addict for a brother." Elena said forcefully and the others looked at her, shock and anger written on some of their faces. Hurt and annoyance was on Jeremy's, he's gotten over that period of his life, why was she making this out to be so much more than it was?
"I may not understand what it's like to have a drug addict for a brother Elena but you shouldn't be presumptuous about my life, you know nothing about me because whilst I can't understand your situation at the time, I do know what it's like to be close to someone with addictions. My mother was addicted to smoking and she died of lung cancer, my father then became addicted to drinking and he died of heart failure, I was left alone with my uncle who used drugs as an outlet for losing his brother and sister-in-law and that turned him into a monster so yes I don't understand your situation because you have had it far better than me." Lucy snapped at her tears running down her face before she ran out the room to the side doors where she said the bedrooms were located as they all sat in silence after her outburst before sending glares Elena's way, none was more sharper than Kol's who was resisting the urge to throttle the girl and instead vamp sped over to the doors and went after her.
He wandered the hall using his vampire senses to hear which room her heartbeat resonated from, except it wasn't her heartbeat that lead him to her, it was the sound of her beautiful melodious voice. He opened the door quietly to see her lying on a bed, throwing a yo-yo in the air as she sang.
"I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself 'cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far."
In the room they had been in before Matt began scolding Elena, "You shouldn't have said that Elena, that was wrong of you."
"Matt's right you shouldn't have said that when you knew nothing about her but then again what did I expect from a bitch like you," Rebekah said angry at the girl for hurting the likable child. She would have gone after Kol when he went after Lucy but there was something in his eyes that told her that he wouldn't hurt her, but she kept an ear out just in case and that was when she heard it, she immediately stopped the others from saying anything else to Elena as she said, "Can you all hear that? You won't if you're not a vampire or a werewolf but just focus on the door."
They all did as she said confused before they all heard a beautiful voice and they realized that it was obviously Lucy unless Kol magically turned into a girl the second he walked through those doors. (Because of you - Kelly Clarkson)
"Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side, so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid."
Kol listened to her words not alerting her to his presence, and for some inexplicable reason, he felt for the girl, she was stronger than most that after everything she's been through, she could still be so jolly and happy when others wouldn't even want to get out of bed in the morning. The others, well those who could hear, thought the same thing, the words she sang, spoken from the heart, were really heartbreaking.
"I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with."
That part of the lyrics got to them all, it wasn't something a 19-year-old should be singing. Clearly, she was talking about her uncle here, she mentioned how the drugs had turned him into a monster, what did she mean by that? Did he hurt her in any way? The thought of that bubbly girl getting hurt by someone that should have cared for her didn't sit well with all of them at all, especially for Klaus and Damon, being victims of abuse themselves.
"Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side, so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
"I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better
Then to let it out on me."(Minor change to lyrics here to suit her story)
This had their suspicions slightly confirmed, he must have done something to her, whether verbal or physical they didn't know but they were going to find out. She didn't deserve that. Kol, for some reason, felt his hands fist as he crossed them over his chest, the thought of someone hurting the girl had him on edge, he wanted to rip out their throat or their heart, or both.
"You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing."
The pain in her voice was obvious to them all, she sounded moments away from crying and that didn't sit right with them considering how bright and bubbly she was before. Kol wanted to go in there and console her but he didn't want to disturb her moment when she was letting it all out.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you."
Finally, the song had finished except right afterwards they heard the sound of sobbing coming from the room and they all were now glaring at Elena before some of them got up wondering what to do. They knew Kol had gone after her, he seemed to have formed a bit of a friendship with the girl but would it be enough to help her? Before they could go through, they heard the sound of glass shattering before Kol gasped out her name. The humans who couldn't hear asked them what was going on but the supernaturals shushed them as they carried on listening.
Kol had been about to come in and console her when she started sobbing, only for her to get up and walk in front of the body-length mirror at the side of her bed. He was confused for a second until she took off her shirt and he stood there wide-eyed at the scars and bruises littering her small frame. It took him a moment to realize what he was seeing as she sobbed in front of the mirror, the breaking of the glass as she threw the mirror aside pulled him out of his frozen state as he gasped out her name in shock, "Lucy?"
Lucy gasped turning around immediately as she tried to hurriedly pull the shirt back on except he was faster, grabbing it from her and throwing it away to see the entirety of the damage on her body. She flinched back from him trying to cover herself, or more importantly, her scars.
"What the hell Lucy? What happened to you? Tell me! Tell me who did this and I'll kill them. It was that uncle of yours wasn't it? Wasn't it?" Kol asked each question forcefully with rage in his eyes.
"K please give me my shirt." Lucy said with tears streaming down her face and that caused the others to hurry towards the room concerned about Kol's words to her and hers to him, only to stop in shock and horror at the sight of her she was clearly malnourished and her tiny frame was bruised, she had scars practically everywhere. What the hell happened to her? Kol had mentioned her uncle and from her words before, it did fit and they were all enraged about that, Stefan took one look at her abused body before looking away from her half-naked form, it didn't feel right to look at her like that, the others had no qualms as they stared at her openly with anger and concern written on their faces.
"Oh my God!" Caroline gasped in shock causing Lucy to turn to them all with wide eyes before jumping behind Kol using him as a cover to hide her upper half only covered by the bra she was wearing.
"Can I have my shirt please?" Lucy asked pleadingly. Damon picked up the shirt from the floor and handed it to her, his eyes actually concerned as she quickly put it on, her head down refusing to look at any of them. The others behind him were in the same state as him, even Klaus, as annoyed with her as he was before, seeing her like this had him, dare he say it, worried for the girl.
Caroline saw how most of them were about to ask her something but she noticed how fragile Lucy looked at the moment and she didn't want them to make the situation worse for her so she quickly said to Bonnie, "Back me up here would you?"
Bonnie had no idea what she was saying but nodded anyway as Caroline began speaking, "Okay everyone, get out of here and give her some space."
"No, I'm not leaving until I get answers," Kol said stubbornly.
"You've already scared her enough now leave her be," Bonnie said gesturing to Lucy and Kol actually turned to her only to see how small and fragile Lucy looked at the moment with her head down and her arms curled around herself.
His normally malice-filled eyes softened at the sight before he sighed in defeat and said, "Fine I'll leave." He was about to turn away before something weird overcame him when she looked up at him thankfully at the fact that he had dropped the subject and he kissed her forehead before abruptly leaving the room confused and shocked as to why he had done that.
