When Elena opened her eyes she was laying on the floor. She was roasting and weak but she wasn't able to rest as she smelt the smoke and flames behind her rose, she got up and started to run, it was only outside of the cave she was on all fours, she looked around to see nobody around her. Smelling around was no help as nothing or nobody around her gave a scent away. Elena panted several times before pouncing over towards a tree as more smoke came from the cave, she couldn't hear Klaus, and she certainly couldn't smell him. She eventually stopped walking after ten minutes and found a tree's to hunch under it as here she was safe from danger. Lying down under the tree's she whimpered, she was lost, hungry and alone as the moon still shone down on her. Howling, Elena felt strange, she was lying down under trees with paws and howling at the moon which was not her typically Thursday night. Elena had slept for ages until she heard noises approach her, her senses kicked in and she jumped forwards growling at whoever woke her from the sleep she was craving. Klaus appeared in Tyler's body once again watching her every move, she lowered her head so close to the ground her muzzle was almost touching it, but something wasn't right. It wasn't the way Klaus was watching her, but the way the atmosphere around them. Something wasn't right and she knew it, she could smell it. Elena didn't know what she was doing, she just let her feet and mind work away. She ran towards Klaus and jumped on him, he fell backwards and she was by his side, looking up Elena growled and ran towards the figure that had shot at them. Running Elena started to rumble up a hunger inside of her that ached to get out. The figure in front of her ran from her wolf self and she lunged towards it, the creature wasn't human as it ran faster than she did but that didn't stop Elena as she dragged it down. She hung over it, growling bearing her teeth towards it neck and letting droplets of saliva drop on its hair and neck before she felt heavy arms wrap around her back bone and slip under her elbow and snapping her neck
'Drip drip' Elena woke up to hear a dripping sound by her ear as it started to rain, she shivered as the cold air started to attack her bare body. She was outside the boarding house when she heard whistling and saw Damon leaning against the main door frame watching her as she was lying under trees. He rose his eyebrows and she shook her head 'what is he up too?' was all Elena could piece together, as she started to stand up she felt a little pang at her side and she saw the heal of a cut from a branch by her rib cage and that's when she got Damon's sick mind. She was fully naked and under the trees and bushes in front of his house. Elena gasped and jumped back into the bush once again.
"Come on out Elena, If I haven't seen something before I'll throw a dollar at it" Damon cocky comment made Elena got angrier and angrier, making her huff she yelled loudly for Stefan who strode out and looked at Damon in a confusing way.
"Stefan, Can bring me out a towel something? And why the hell did you let me go last night?!" Elena was pissed, she was starting to get wet and was naked. She wondered why Stefan and Damon would let Klaus in Tyler's body take her to either make her shift or die. Stefan handed Elena a towel after a few seconds and she took it fast, wrapping herself up in it. She finally arose to her feet and looked at both guys who were startled at her, Stefan mouth was opened in surprise and Damon stood perfectly still.
"What?" Elena purred as she walked up to them, thankfully the towel went to her knees which didn't impress Damon. Stefan looked Elena up and down which made her frown as he judge her before turning his back on her and leaving her to face Damon. Damon wiggled his nose as Elena frowned deeply as she stood in a towel outside of his house, he took pity on her and walked back into his house grabbing the keys of his care and a shirt of his and handed it to Elena as he came outside again.
"Come on. I'll bring you home" as he walked towards his car as she quickly put on his shirt and turned the towel into a skirt.
"Why are you looking at me like that for?" Elena asked as Damon looked at her the same way Stefan did. Damon clenched his jaw several times thinking of ways to explain to Elena what he saw. 'Well Elena you look like a monster' Damon smirked at those words, he wished he could tell her that way.
"Last night Stefan was out having a tea party with the bunnies in the woods and he saw a wolf, a she wolf. She has silver fur and it was mixed with a little black and brown, then he saw Klaus. Well Stefan had wooden bullets on him so he decided to try and shoot Klaus. Nobody knew Klaus was hiding in Tyler's body since the night his own body was burned plus we all know when Stefan gets mad he gets bad. So he tried to kill Klaus and that's when the she wolf saved him. Then the wolf went for Stefan and it was on his back, ready to bite him, kill him but Klaus stopped it by breaking the wolfs neck" Damon went quite at the end of his sentence and Elena shook her head several times, she wouldn't hurt Stefan. She saved Klaus and she knew that but she couldn't explain it. 'Why shouldn't you have the right to kill Stefan? He let Klaus take you' the voice came back to Elena and this time it snapped its words at her and she jumped as if each word was a dagger.
"I wouldn't kill him Damon, I love Stefan, I wouldn't have killed him" Elena muttered and she believed that but right now she felt so many emotions she wanted pause life and take a deep sleep but that wouldn't happen, not for her anyways. Damon grip tightened on the steering wheel and Elena could tell Damon knew something and she looked at him with glaring eyes.
"What Damon?" she barked at him and he looked at her with a surprised expression as if he knew nothing and was an innocent flower.
"Did you see your reflection yet? You're covered in blood and mud Elena, You went on a rampage and the only reason you woke up outside the boarding house is because you were stalking it after you woke up from your nap last night. Stefan sent me to see if you were still alive and you were, but when you woke you followed me to the house and the only reason me and Stefan are alive is because you couldn't enter, you weren't invited it" Damon said the words straight out to her and it was hinted with anger as if it was all her fault. Elena scoffed and folded her arms before licking her lips, angry at Damon's accusing words. 'Would I really do that?' Elena asked herself terrified for the truthful answer. Elena pulled down the mirror to see that Damon wasn't lying. Blood and mud was now her skin colour and she looked like a pure killer back from some sort of war.
"Well maybe If you stopped Klaus from taking me I wouldn't be" Elena yelled as Damon pulled into her street, she couldn't help let the words seek out, She guessed that Damon and Stefan would have put up a fight to stop Klaus from taking her, well Damon would have until death was of him.
"Stop him? Fuck it Elena we tried everything but you volunteer to go and we tried to stop you but you snapped at us we can't do much unless we want death plus when Alaric told us what was happening so we stopped, he promised us that you would be okay" Elena's dead heart dropped at the last eight words, Alaric promised them that she was safe, Alaric. He was her guardian angel to make sure she kept out of trouble and keep her grades up, like when he was alive.
"Volunteer? Damon all I can remember from last night is the point of us two in my bedroom and I have a head ache and then the cave trying to turn. So explain why would I just walk over to Klaus?" Elena got angrier with the truth, she was angry at herself for being mean to Damon, angry at Meredith for using hybrid blood and mainly angry at her inner wolf. Damon sighed as the truth was going to leap from his lips and dance cruelly around Elena,
"Because you're a she wolf"
