Distress is the only emotion that Elijah feels now that he along with Klaus reach the compound the place which once was their family home. Dawn is only a couple of hours away, so the place is crawling with nightwalkers enjoying the last of their freedom. They appear to be holding some kind of primitive fighting competition, while Marcel oversees everything from the second floor. A king watching over his subjects. Klaus can barely contain his anger when he sees their home being reduced to what it was now. He had given Marcellus everything that Marcel had, and now he spits all of it back on their faces and claims himself to be some kind of king when it won't take Klaus or any original for that matter more than a second to finish him off. And there will be a day soon when he will get back his home and be a king, however, tonight is not that night retrieving Elena is his number one priority today. As soon as one of the fights ends, everyone cheers and howls in excitement and Marcel smiles down upon his minions and praised the winner the girl," Damn girl, not bad." who then courtesies but was, unfortunately, not able to complete it as Klaus whooshes into the center circle and snaps the neck of the victorious vampire as though it were a twig. Silence descends upon the compound like rain as the air became thick with tension. All the vampires wanting to attack but knowing that it would only lead to their very bitter end. Marcel looks down from his balcony not looking pleased.
"Good evening," Klaus said with a smile at first before his facial features turned dangerous, "I'd like a word."
"What do you think you are doing?" Marcel asked, his easy smile morphing into a scowl.
" It appears," Elijah said making himself known and cutting through the crowd to join Klaus. "We're interrupting a collection of filthy amateurs. We have come here for the girl. Give her to us or we kill everyone here, starting with you."
"You two got a lot of nerve, coming into my home and making demands," Marcel said.
"Your home, is it?" Klaus growled,
"The girl, " Elijah repeats, purposefully making his voice louder. "I will not ask again."
Marcel replied, "I assume you're talking about Elena. Yay high, dark hair a manipulator, and a perfect liar. I'm curious. When I met her earlier today she made me believe that she was just some human you guys have compelled into living with her and spying on my men. But it appears that I was mistaken for I doubt you would take that much effort for just anyone. Who is she, anyway?"
"She's an old friend. You know how sentimental I am about old friends," Klaus replied, bleeding irony.
"Well, I ain't got her," Marcel said leaning forward, "And before you start whining — I did pay her a little visit earlier tonight. I was feeling nostalgic, so I took a trip to the plantation where I used to be a slave. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the Original family had taken up residence. And not just that! A mysterious girl that my friend Diego was dating answered the door. My visit was brief and courteous. We exchanged hellos and I asked her a few questions. That was it. I don't have her, and I have no idea where she is. Don't believe me, look around. Hell, I'll even help you find her. But the question I'd ask is..." He leans over the railing, a wolfish smile full of teeth curling up his lips, although due to some strange reason he looked weirdly concerned. "If Elena isn't here, then where is she?"
Elena opened her eyes and barely restrained a groan more of an annoyance than pain. Now she is gonna kill whoever had kidnapped her, enough was enough can't these people give her a break. She was kidnapped in her own house. How did this even happen? Elena thought after had been visited by Marcel she had searched the house for her bracelet after manipulating Marcel into believing that she was just some compelled human and it had seemed that he had even bought the excuse from the flash of pity and understanding in his eyes. She had found the bracelet kept on one of those couches near the pool in her backyard and when she had to bend down to pick it up, someone had grabbed her and made her smell something and she had passed out. Elena took a deep breath and tried to access her situation. It seemed as if she was in a moving vehicle, the back of a jeep to be precise, she had a killer headache and both her hands and feet were tied. She carefully glanced up to notice that there was a guy who was driving the vehicle and no one else was with him. She can escape, Elena thought and immediately started searching for escape routes, and the only plausible way was to try and break the glass on the back door. Using all the strength that she could muster, she kicked it. The glass easily cracked from the force of her kick and by the next kick, it shattered. The noise made the driver of the car stopped in his tracks and Elena heard the opening of the door as she braced herself for whoever it was and readied her leg to kick them in the face. When the back door opened, Elena immediately tried kicking the person in the face, but he caught her by the leg.
"Seriously?" The very familiar voice asked, and Elena felt her stomach drop all the way back to the ground when she realized that the voice was of one of her best friends. It was the voice of Tyler Lockwood,
"Tyler?" Elena breathed in surprise all of her annoyance and anger of being kidnapped gone when she looked at him with a confused face.
"You don't want to fight me, Elena," Tyler said although his face showed no sort of warmth, "You know you can't beat a hybrid."
" Tyler what," Elena started before letting out a pained scream as he tightened the restraints on her legs
. "What the hell? Have you lost it. " she shrieked and struggled. "Let me go, you asshole and backstabbing wanker. How dare you?"
She didn't get to finish her sentence as Tyler grabbed her roughly by the arms. "Shut up," He growled, and even though her thrashing, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"Tyler Lockwood put me down right now!" Elena screamed, kicking her legs and hitting him in the back, but he seemed unfazed, " Have you lost it?"
Elena kept fighting as he carried her off into the forest. Before eventually stopping and decided to retain her strength for later when she has to knock some sense back into him.
" Not the most attractive community are they," Elijah remarked as grew more impatient,
" You do realize that they can hear you," Klaus said as Marcel made his way towards them,
" You do realize that I don't care," Elijah said as he picked up one of the glasses from the small round table.
" You know Elijah, I liked you better in that box," Marcel commented with a fake smile on his face which Elijah returned with an equally fake one.
" But Klaus my sire, You, I owe the world and I always show respect to my elders." Marcel continued looking at his mentor who simply narrowed his eyes. Then he opened his arms in a dramatic gesture before continuing," And if your special lady friend is missing you can benefit from the help of a witch and since I control all the witches in the quarter, I will grant you one little locator spell," he said that as if he was granting both the originals a favor. And they saw the witch Sabine who had oh so nice visions of Elena and her baby. She looked annoyed as she shook her hands,
" Sabine is the best guide in the quarter. You need to find someone I guarantee that she is your girl, " Marcel said before turning and about to leave before Klaus's voice stopped him,
" Where are you going?" Klaus asked,
" I hate to cut this short but the sun is coming up soon. My nightwalkers need to get inside and I have a city to run. I will leave you to track down your lost good-looking sheep, and if she is not found do inform me, maybe I will ask Davina to help." Marcel replied and he again appeared as if he genuinely wanted to be informed about the fact. Elijah seemed to not like Marcel's comment describing Elena as he made a move to get up before restraining himself.
" Can you find her," he questioned Sabine when Marcel finally left,
" I can try," Sabine said," But her location is cloaked by the witches. Unless she sends some sort of signal it would be next to impossible,"
Elijah and Klaus looked at each other in fear. Before Klaus said,
" Do your best."
Tyler put Elena down, and she looked all around herself. Tyler it seemed had brought her to a little cottage by the water.
"Where the hell are we?" Elena asked.
"The armpit of Louisiana," Tyler answered casually before pulling out a knife. Elena's eyes followed the movement as for the first time she felt fear in her encounter with Tyler, whatever she had thought Tyler would do she had not thought that he would kill her or even harm her, they were best friends after all.
"What are you gonna do with that?" Elena asked,
"That depends on you," He told her, and he cut the restraints on her legs so she could walk again. Elena got up and moved towards him,
"Well if it depended on me I would stab you right now for kidnapping and ambushing me in my own backyard," Elena replied looking pissed.
"It's not your backyard," Tyler dismissed. "It's Klaus's. You're shacked up in that mansion with that psycho. A long way from the girl that I grew up with."
" Okay listen here, had you not kidnapped me I would have given you a hug. Have you spend too much time with a physco that your brain cells have forgotten to function,"
" My you are pissed," Tyler said looking nostalgic that was the way they both used to talk to each other when they were in their early teens,
" Pissed, doesn't even begin to cover that up. " Elena said
" Tell me Elena how does it feel to be an orphan, I mean you must know that family killed your family. I wonder what Jenna would think of you living with her killer. Your parents must have been so proud and Jeremy he would be applauding you now. Heard you were getting quite cozy with his killer too, you know the she-devil."
Elena turned to look away, " Look Tyler I know you all are hurt by me getting pregnant with Klaus's children, The original family has done nothing but bad to us. Trust me I know, you know I know. And I am sorry okay, I slept with him when I was too drunk, mourning my sorrows in alcohol and I regret it. But there is nothing I can do that can change that, but they are ...they are not complete monsters, and so much has happened since the last time I properly talked to you. And by so much, I mean a shit ton."
"A hybrid baby," Tyler said as he shook his head in disbelief, " And a very powerful immortal being both in your stomach, I know all about it. I have been roaming around the bayou, asking questions. You came to this town to find your birth father right. Let me help a friend in need and I will tell you all that I have learned."
Tyler yanked Elena's sweater sleeve down before roughly grabbing my shoulder as he turned it towards her. "This crescent birthmark means you come from a big shot family," He explained. "Some kind of royalty to the werewolves of this reagent, and right here," He gestured at the property all around us. "This is all that's left of them."
" What?" Elena questioned," But how is this possible I mean I am the doppelganger, I was the key to breaking Klaus hybrid curse but I had to be human for that, but I am not, I am a werewolf perhaps one whose curse is not activated yet, but a werewolf nonetheless. I couldn't have broken the hybrid curse but yet here we are."
He shrugged. "I don't know, maybe it is because doppelgangers were created by none other than nature itself. And by that word do you have any idea that your boyfriend Stefan is a doppelganger as well."
" What?" Elena asked,
" My, my you have missed a lot while you were out playing housemates with the originals. But I think it is the most possible explanation, why do you think your senses are suddenly heightening? Why do you think you're suddenly super strong? There's no way you could have broken that glass if you were a human. Only thing is, you haven't triggered the werewolf curse yet, because we both know you're too innocent to kill anyone." Tyler said. Elena looked confused as she frowned before looking up as Tyler continued speaking,
" You are in denial," He observed, seeing the girl he had known his whole life like he was trying to search for the reason for her betrayal.
" Oh trust me I am well off that period of time, I mean being tortured by psychotic witches for over a month had left me with plenty of time to think all of this over and over again," Elena said,
" Wait they tortured you," Tyler asked, before hastening to cover his mistakes and shrugging" I mean can't say you didn't deserve that,"
Elena sighed looking at one side and then at another, " Now that you have taken me in the middle of nowhere, what do you intend to with that knife,"
" Test a theory," Tyler said looking smug,
" And does that theory testing include me getting hurt because I have never really taken you as a very safe guy,"
" Well it may or may not end up in some people dying," Tyler replied and Elena felt her breath catch and she looked around the cottage, and her eyes locked with a random woman in the forest. Elena glanced at the eccentric woman's shoulder and noticed that she had the same mark as Elena had always had on herself, but it looked like she had tried to get rid of it, and all that was left was a scar.
"Hey, help me!" She screamed and pushed past Tyler. But when she heard me speak, she took off into the woods.
"They can't help you," Tyler said as if it was obvious, "They're in the woods, hiding because they have been persecuted for decades by vampires." Elena looked at him as she searched out the odds of how she could get out of here, her chances were pretty low. Unless someone's come to her aid, she turned back to Tyler
" Do any people back in Mystic Falls you know the people who care about me, who love me know that you are trying to kill me," Elena asked,
" Those people that care about you, that love you, they usually end up dead," Tyler said with a tilt of his head, " Haven't you guessed by now you are poison to all those who love you but luckily for the people in Mystic Falls they don't love you anymore, no one there cares for you they all hate you, Damon especially. I think he loathes you more than he could ever loathe Katherine," Elena tried to let the words not influence her but alas they hit a little closer to home as she shook her head trying desperately to ignore the images of her parents and brother drowning and her Aunt getting her heart ripped out. She shook her head as she tried to collect her thoughts and shook her head,
" No, they don't at least you don't hate me or I would already be dead," Elena said and cut Tyler off as he made to speak, " Oh, don't give me that crap excuse about not yet, don't you think I have had enough of death threats to last me multiple lifetimes, maybe its because you know if you kill me Caroline would never forget you, I know we are in the middle of a disagreement and she is angry at me but she will hate you if you kill me because me sleeping with a guy who she doesn't really hate is not gonna end those eighteen years of friendship. But it can't be Caroline only now, can it? We have been best friends for the same amount of time as much as you despise me now be both cares for each other, in fact, you cared for me enough that you were willing to endure your bones breaking once a month on every full moon if it meant that I was alive, it hadn't been that long and let's not forget that dad loved me and to you, he was more of a father than your birth father ever was, you know you won't harm his precious daughter. So Tyler I didn't only think but I know that you are not going to kill me. " Tyler looked to his side knowing that everything thing that she was right,
" I think the family is rubbing of you, you have become quite the manipulator,"
"It's not manipulation if I am just stating the facts," Elena replied.
"Is that her?" Elena heard a voice from behind her say as she turned around to look at the man behind her,
"Yeah, Dwayne," Tyler answered. "Get her inside."
" Tyler! Tyler!" Elena called as that guy grabbed her roughly by the arms and pushed her into the house, and threw her on the ground as he chained her up to the oven that was inside. Elena groaned in frustration as she jiggled her arm around, trying to break free.
The door opened, and Tyler walked in and Elena immediately fought harder," Don't fight Elena, you know I am not going to harm you, I am not a traitor like you or Hayley."
" What exactly did you do to Hayley?" Elena asked,
" I killed her, she put up quite a fight against a hybrid," Tyler replied, his face expressionless,
" Did you enjoy it?" Elena asked glaring at him,
" I didn't," Tyler said and his voice broke," She was my friend and now she is part of the reason I am never going to see my mother again," He paused for a moment, before collecting himself," Now let's get on with proving my theory,"
" Well, why don't you answer one of my questions. There has been a wolf watching me lately, protecting me like it instinctively knows that I am part of its werewolf pack. You are a hybrid you can turn into a wolf whenever you want, was it you?" Elena asked, and Tyler shook his head,
" No, but you are right only hybrids can control when they change, and I am the only one left beside Klaus, which is why we're here."
"Whatever you're planning, you might wanna decide against it," Elena advised him. "You should probably know that the whole Original family has made some sort of pact or something to keep me and the babies safe. Now I know you want to get back at Klaus and I also know that you are not going to kill me but if you hurt me, they'll all kill you."
"What makes you think I'm afraid to die? Elena," Tyler said and Elena was once again reminded of the boy who was just as broken as she was," My birth father is dead, the man who I thought was my true dad is dead too, my uncle's death, Klaus killed my mother, and Caroline and I broke up. I have nothing. Not unlike you, you are also not afraid to die, are you? I think not, I saw you after your brother's death at his funeral. You were sitting there all alone in the middle of all of your family's grave not crying but I could see the sign of dried tears on your face, you were sitting there like you were dead and maybe you were you just kept whispering I am sorry, I am so sorry as if it was your fault that we live in a world full of monsters. You didn't smile for so long, no one could help you, not even Stefan the man you loved. Caroline told me you would wake up from your dreams screaming I am sorry, I am so sorry. We are not too different none of us deserved it, I made my life's purpose revenge that what kept me going, while, you searched for a new family. It became a sort of routine for you, didn't it? I mean unless we have some supernatural trouble you would wake up in the morning sit between your family's graves for hours then you would go through the founder's records, visit the places your birth mother had been to, and in short search for any last remaining family then you would spend some time after dusk talking with Matt and assuring him that it wasn't his fault that your brother died and when the night would yet to come you would either sleep drunk or while crying. "
Elena said nothing as she fought the tears in her eyes she had no intention to revisit parts in her life that she would rather forget what she needed now was to get out of here, Elena considered her options maybe Elijah would come to rescue her, maybe even Klaus along with him. They would need a witch to do a locator spell and then they could find her but her location cannot be tracked she is cloaked she had to either get out of here or send a message digitally but she doesn't have her phone. It was at that moment that Elena realized how badly she was screwed. If the vision were true, as was the vision she had yesterday of Marcel standing near the plantation and listening to her and Josh's conversation. Then Tyler would stab her in the front of her stomach and if he did that her children would die. And she could let that happen. Although it seemed that she didn't really have much choice in the matter.
So I hope you all liked this one as well, I have read all the reviews and many of you seemed to like Elena and Elijah which is something I am leaning towards. I do hope you like how Elena is building some sort of relationship with her family's killer as it would be essential to the storyline, I believe that she would always feel guilty that she is being nice and civil to those who had harmed her family, but I just wanted to know that I am not moving too fast into building some sort of connection with Klaus and Rebekah and I do want to know if you all want the cast of vampire diaries to make more entries into the storyline. Presently they are keeping her out of things which may explain to you how she doesn't know about Bonnie's death and went to her funeral because I doubt that until and unless Klaus put her in a rather nice looking coffin she would miss attending her friends funeral. Many of you were curious shall I say about Elena's comment to Elijah about killing Agnes herself not that the witch doesn't deserve it. I mean who harms a baby and two kids at that but Elena's reasoning would be explained. I have one question, which please give your opinion because I am still not sure if I want it to be in the plot or not, do tell, me if you would like Klaus and Elena's children to come back in time to help their parents clean up a few messes and their family of course. And in this story, I am not going to kill Stefan, Klaus, and Elijah and as you know Hayley is already dead so I don't really hate her in fact I like her but she needed to be not in the plotline because well Elena is the one who got knocked up. Do you like my idea of the Damon and Bonnie pairing because either then I have to make a completely different OC for Damon because I am not going to leave him all alone and Bonnie will be with Enzo who surprises, the surprise will not stay dead. Like Stefan may or may not kill him but I don't see why Bonnie cannot resurrect Enzo after she brought back so many people from dying, completely unfair and illogical. Elena will change a little bit because this time she is fighting to stay alive and not be a martyr. And I know it all so far away till the baby part but you won't mind recommending me a few names would you. I hope not. Do tell me if you want the timeline version or not. I think it would be very interesting how I can pull that one-off, although I do have quite a few ideas.
