So I wasn't able to update before, I was stuck with writer's block with my other stories and forgot to update.
My writer's block isn't cured but thankfully i still have ideas for this story :)
I don't own Vampire Diaries.
Elena's POV
Stefan and Damon arrived at my house immediately. "Why do we need to see Katherine?"
"Well for one we need to get the moonstone but I also want to know why she destroyed Scarlett's life."
Damon looked at Stefan with anger. "You told her?"
Stefan was about to respond but I interrupted. "He didn't, Scarlett's great-granddaughter told me."
"Great-granddaughter?"
I nodded. "Did you hear the rumors about a new girl moving in with Mrs. Flowers? They're true and she's Scarlett Alston, named after Scarlett herself."
Damon looked interested. "So the girl I saw at the cemetery is an Alston?"
I nodded. "Yeah, and we need to see Katherine because she may know who killed Scarlett's ancestors."
Stefan and Damon exchanged looks. "Okay let's go."
We walked out of the house and got into Damon's car. "We should get Bonnie too, just in case."
Damon nodded. "Fine, I'll stop by the witch's house."
"Remind me again why I have to come."
I sighed. "Bonnie we need you just in case something happens." We were walking to the tomb's entrance.
"Elena, what's going to happen? Katherine's locked up. It's not like she can get out."
I nodded. "Still, I feel safer if you're here."
She sighed and went in. I went in and saw that it was already lit. "Has someone else been here?"
"Well, look who we have here, more visitors." Katherine was standing there still in the dress she had when we trapped her here. "What can I do for you? I'm always happy to help."
Damon came up in-front of me. "Cut the crap, Katherine. Who's been here?"
She looked at him. "What are you talking about Damon? No one else's been here."
"You're lying, so just tell us."
She crossed her arms. "I honestly don't know what you're talking about."
"Just spit it out."
"If someone had come I probably wouldn't be able to tell you." she looked at us. "So why are you here?"
Stefan came up next to Damon. "We know someone's been here, who?"
She looked at me. "I can't tell you."
Bonnie gasped. "So someone was here?"
Katherine looked at her. "Yes, someone came and they wanted to talk to me."
"And who's they." Damon looked at her.
"I told you I can't tell you!" Damon raised his hands.
"Sorry just checking." He backed out. "Come on, let's go."
"Wait" Katherine looked at us "that's not the only reason you're here. So tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Why did you do that to Scarlett? Why did you take away her happiness?" Her eyes widened as I mentioned her name.
She looked at Damon and Stefan "Alicia was lying to all of you and you didn't see it. She knew all about vampires, witches and werewolves. She knew what I was and I knew what she was."
Damon stepped closer to her. "What was she?"
Katherine grinned. "The same thing she is." She pointed to Bonnie. "A witch, a very powerful one I might add."
Damon looked at her. "You're lying, she would have told me."
Katherine tilted her head. "Are you sure about that, Damon? I mean your father hated us mythical creatures, especially vampires."
I stepped closer. "Do you know who killed her family?"
She looked at me and smiled. "Of course I do, it's pretty hard not to considering there was a big reward on her head at the time."
"So, are you going to tell us?" Damon was getting impatient.
Katherine looked at him. "What's wrong Damon? Want to kill the man that destroyed your love's life. Well I have news for you; the killer wasn't the only one who hurt her. You did too, when you chose me."
"Just tell us who killed them!" Stefan had to hold Damon back.
"Don't Damon; you'll get trapped in here."
He nodded and calmed down. "I'll tell you what Damon, since I'm in such a good mood I'll tell you. You want to know who killed her family and attacked her, I'll tell you." She motioned for him to come closer. "It was Klaus; he wanted her dead, even more than he wanted me dead."
"Why did Klaus want her dead?" Bonnie asked.
"Because, she was the most powerful witch of all time and she betrayed him."
Scarlett's POV
Once I had a pretty good idea of what the town looked like I asked Caroline if she could drop me off back at the Grill.
She and Matt left in her car, leaving me with Jeremy. I looked at him. "Do you know the way to the Alston house?"
He nodded. "Yeah, it's not far from here."
I smiled and walked over to the bike. "Will you show me the way?"
He nodded. "That's yours."
I grinned. "You're not afraid, are you?"
He shook his head. "Of course not, it's just I've never been on one."
"In that case, let's go." We got on and I took off in the direction that he told me.
We arrived in what looked like my old house. I got off the bike and looked at it.
It hadn't changed at all since I left. I looked at it and remembered that this was my home.
I smiled at the memory of the time Damon kissed me, God I missed him.
"So do you have the key?" Jeremy came up behind me.
I nodded and pulled the key from my bag. "Yeah, it's right here."
We walked to the front door and I put the key in. The door opened immediately.
The furniture was covered in white sheets but other than that everything looked as I remembered it.
"Wow this place is huge." Jeremy was looking at the living room.
I smiled. "You know if you want to check out the rest of the house you can go ahead, that's what I'm going to do."
He smiled. "Thanks."
I nodded. "No problem, just meet me back here in about twenty minutes."
He nodded and walked off. I went in the other direction, heading for my room.
It was on the second floor, the farthest room from the entrance. I walked in and noticed that everything was still in place. My clothes were still there, every dress I ever owned.
I looked through the dresses and every one of them gave me a new memory of Damon. "Was this her room?"
I turned around to see Jeremy standing at the door. I nodded. "I guess these belong to her." I walked over to the drawers. "She left her jewelry box here; my grandmother told me that she left everything here because she was in such a hurry to leave."
He nodded and walked in. "So it's been like this for about a hundred years?"
I looked up at him. "Actually, 145 years but yes it's been like this for a long time." I looked around. "You want to go see if the garden's still there."
He shrugged. "Why not?"
I walked out the door and went over to the passage that led to the door for the garden. I opened the door to see that the garden was still there but the flowers had all died.
"Wow, this place is huge." I nodded and walked out.
"Yeah, it is. I need to buy more flowers though."
His phone started ringing. I walked over to the fountain as I tried to pay attention to the conversation. "Elena, I'm fine I just came to the Alston house with Scarlett."
I turned around. "Jeremy, watch out."
Jeremy's POV
The vampire came out from behind the trees and attacked me. It bit me in the neck and I started to grow weak.
Suddenly the vampire was on the ground clutching his head. Scarlett came over and pulled me away. "Come on we have to get out of her before he recovers."
We reached the motorcycle and she gave me the helmet. "Keep pressure on the bite, we'll heal it when we get out of here."
I got in the back and she drove as fast as she could. I suddenly remembered that I was talking to Elena on the phone. "Scarlett, do you have your phone?"
She nodded and took it out of her pocket. "Call Elena and tell her your fine, tell her you'll meet her at your house."
I nodded and dialed Elena's number. She picked up immediately. "Hello?"
"Hey Elena, it's me."
"Oh thank god, Jeremy what happened?"
I looked at Scarlett. "Just tell her."
I nodded and sighed. "We were attacked but we're fine, we'll meet you at the house."
"Is Scarlett okay?"
I nodded. "She's the one that got us out of there, Elena."
"Big shocker." Scarlett muttered.
I ignored her comment and paid attention to Elena on the phone. "How did she do it?"
"Look Elena we'll explain everything when we get there, just get everyone to the house."
"Okay, everyone's here already so just hurry."
I nodded. "Trust me Elena we're going as fast as we can, actually we're right outside the house."
Scarlett turned off the bike and helped me off. "Come on, you've lost a lot of blood we need to get you inside."
I got off of the bike and stumbled a bit; she looked at me and grabbed my arm. "Wait, let me see the wound." I took my hand off my neck. "Look this might sting a bit but I have to." She placed her hand on my neck and closed her eyes; she mumbled something that sounded like a spell. It burnt like fire on my skin but I didn't say anything.
She looked at my wound and smiled. "All better." I put my hand to the wound and it was gone.
"What was that?" I asked her.
She looked at me. "Don't tell me Bonnie's never performed a healing spell."
Elena came out of the house. "Jeremy, are you okay?"
Scarlett looked at me. "Yes Jeremy, are you okay?"
