I cautiously opened the door to his apartment and walked through. I would have knocked, but he could have gotten rid of evidence easier. I can pick a lock, I am Jeremy's sister. I spied on his computer and felt my eyes widen at what he was typing. "So it is true. You killed Logan." I whispered. He whirled around to face me. "Natasha? What are you doing here? How'd you get in? What do you mean?" Alaric asked in one breath.
"I discovered Logan's body. I saw the stake and I know he was a vampire. I know how to pick a lock too." I answered.
"How'd you know it was me?" He quizzed.
"That's something I'd like to know. Lately I've been acting different, I was driving home and then I found myself at that warehouse. I have no recollection of ever driving." I told him. He nodded slowly.
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"Because I know certain things about what happened here before you got here and I can tell you."
"We keep each others secrets? And we work as allies?"
"Allies."
I walked into school with my iced chai Slater so kindly offered to buy me. I had met him to get coffee this morning before school. Stefan rushed up to me with tired eyes. "You alright buddy?" I said in a concerned manner.
"No, Damon took your sister. I need your help." He said.
"What?" I screeched.
"Yes, now I need your help." He begged.
"Why do you think I can help you?"
"You found Logan, you saw through Emily's possession and you warned Elena about my brother."
"I found Logan, Stefan." He nodded his head.
"Dead." I told him before walking away.
I walked through the door to my friend's suite, not even bothering to knock. Slater's head appeared out of one of his rooms and he smiled at me. "Hey, Natasha, come on in." He smiled. I followed him into his room.
"What brings you to my personal part of hell?" I giggled at his comment.
"I need your help." I sigh.
"With..." He gestures me to go on.
"Some weird things have been happening and I need your help."
After a not so helpful talk with Slate I head back to my car. As I'm walking I see a girl leaning against my car. "Can I help you?" I ask.
"Natasha Gilbert?" She says.
"Yes..." I reply unsurely.
"Then you can." She smiles before going all crazy vampire on me and lunging at me. I let out a scream and she seems to hesitate at it, but knocks me out anyway.
Elena's POV
After Jenna finished lecturing me on ditching town without telling her she turned to Natasha. "She's not here?" I ask.
"No, I thought she went with you..." She responds. My eyes widen. I then hear the familiar buzzing of my phone and I take it out, seeing it's Natasha.
Hey Elena, I'm staying at Lily's for a while, since she has a cold.
"She's with Lily, who's sick." I respond. Jenna nods.
I watched as Stefan and Damon tortured pizza boy. They are desperately trying to get some information out of him. One phrase catches my attention.
"Who are you working with?" Stefan growled. Pizza boy turns to me.
"I think you should tell your boyfriend to stop messing with me." He teases.
"And why should she?" Stefan speaks for me.
"I know where her sister is being held." I freeze. She was at Lily's, right?
"What do you mean?" I ask in near tears.
"That's right, Natalie is it? Natasha, that's it. He let's me go or bye bye little sister." He teases. Stefan pushes the stake further into him.
"NO!" I shout, but Damon restrains me.
"Where is she?" Stefan demanded. Pizza boy gasps.
"A motel. I don't know why they want her, but she has power. She's gonna help open the tomb." He whispers.
"How?" Damon's head snapped up.
"Ah, Katherine's in there I heard. She has a special talent that can make sure they are all okay. You don't want to open the tomb after all that effort and find out there dead." By then the stake had hit his heart. He gasped before collapsing to the ground.
I was thrown into the bathroom and I felt around the wall for the light. I eventually found it and gasped at what it showed me. Below me was Bonnie cradling my little sister in her lap. I ran to them and checked her pulse. She's still breathing. I looked at Bonnie. "What happened?" I asked quickly.
"From what I got one of them hit her head on something and she blacked out." Bonnie informed.
"Why hasn't she woken up?"
"I don't know. Have anybody been near some flames recently?"
"Huh."
"She keeps muttering fire brings death's meet." I heard a groan and looked up at my sister.
I wrapped her in a hug and was careful not to hurt her. Once I released her she gasped for breathe. Ben came in and grabbed me quickly.
Natasha's POV
After Elena was gone I turned to Bonnie. "Fire brings death's meet." I whispered.
"Who?" Bonnie wondered.
"The new one and the elder." I told her before I slipped back into my unconsciousness.
Bonnie's POV
The new one. The new one. The new one. Her words kept ringing in my ear. Natasha must be some type of seer from all these visions. The new one was me as a witch. The elder had to be Grams. Sasha has made some weird predictions, but she's always right. I'm going to die. I saw the bathroom door open and I glared at Ben. He smirked and walked towards Natasha, who I stood protectively in front of. He rolled his eyes and pushed me in the bathtub. I struggled to keep my head from hitting the tub. When I got up I saw Ben carrying Natasha over his shoulder. I followed after him and saw him toss her on the bed. Elena and I rushed to her side instantly. "Sit. Behave. So you're the key to this. Literally. The one who opens the door. Tell me, how long have you been a witch?" Ben started.
"Is there anything to drink here?" Elena interrupts. Ben walks over to her.
"Are you offering? There's water in the fridge." Wait water? I have an idea. Elena got it too and handed me the bottle. I tossed it on Ben and he started in flames. I made a run for it completely forgetting Natasha. I heard a gasp and spun around.
I saw Ben standing behind Natasha with his hand on her neck, holding her up. I kept the tears from falling seeing his giant body, towering over her small frame. He signed and came back in.
"So witches don't have eternal lives. They can die, right."
"Yes."
"That sucks for you." I then saw Stefan open and let the light in. Ben hissed and hid. I grabbed Natasha's feet and Elena got her hands and we ran for it.
Once we were all safe we took Natasha home where she could rest. We told everyone that she was on her way to Lily's when she hit her head and passed out. Lily couldn't get to the phone and we found her when we were walking down the street. Everyone was concerned because she wasn't waking up though.
Natasha's POV
"Help me or I'll do it alone." I heard Bonnie state as I walked down the steps to the tomb.
"No. Bonnie, I'll do it." I announced proudly as I revealed myself.
"What, how?" Bonnie asked after hugging me. Elena hugged me too.
"I'm a cognitionist. I see the death in the past and future. I have some powers." Both Bennett's eyed me.
"Come." Grams offered me her hand. I took it and Bonnie's as they chanted I focused on there channeling of my powers. Elena kept her eye on us at all times.
"I think it's working." I hear Elena whisper. I glare at Anna as her and a women walk out.
"All I wanted was my mother back. Jeremy's fine. He's outside. I won't touch him." WHAT?!
"Keep going! They better be moving quickly." Grams shouts at us.
"Stefan they can't hold it much longer." Elena shouts.
"NO!" I shout as Elena runs into the tomb. I take a deep breathe as I feel my powers draining. Bonnie drops to her knees in agony as do I.
"Oh my God. I can't!" Bonnie shouts. I let out a whimper.
"Yes you can." I then find a fire in me. I find my fight. I think of my older brother outside and my sister in that tomb. Elena needs me. My family needs me. I stand up and scream in agony as Grams and Bonnie channel my powers. I see the three of them run out and we immediately drop our hands. Elena runs up to me and we embrace in a tight hug.
"Come on. Let's... get h-home." I struggle to breathe. Stefan lets me use him as support as she gets me to the car. Elena is at his heels ready to help. Jeremy was waking up now. As soon as he saw me, he took me from Stefan's arms. The Bennett's were going in the other direction. Jeremy set me in the car and I shut my eyes in pure exhaustion. "You alright sis?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, my head still hurts a little Jerry." I use my stupid nickname for him. He smiles and he gets in next to me. He puts and arm around me and I fall asleep almost instantly.
