A/N: Hello my lovelies! (I decided to say that all the time now in the spirt of the crumpcious amazingness that is Joseph Morgan lol). Yes, I know I'm very evil and this fic is extremley non-linear, but it will makes sense in due time (hopefully). Thank you so much for all those amazing reviews, alerts, faves etc! I know this isn't as good as the other incredible Klonnie fics out there, but I'm still so gratefull and happy that you guys like it! I just have to say that Bonniers (no matter who you ship her with) are all so flippin amazing and nicest people here on fanfic! Haha, sorry just had to say that. Anyways, hope you guys don't get mad, but we won't get that much explanations just yet, it is the second chapter. Buuut, we do get some with Elena, and I am sorry that 90% of this chap is in her POV, but hopefully it's still good for you guys! Okay I'm going to stop jabbering now, even though there's still alot of things I forgot to say. Enjoy :D
Need to Know-This whole chapter is written by Rosel (my sis Sally), but I did went over a bit and added things.
Disclaimer: Why must fanfic torture us like this? I do not own anything that has to do with Vampire Diaries (or Secret Circle *spoiler alert cough cough*). But I do own Sofie, who's such an awesome character to have, in my opion. So HA!
Elena sat in the living room, having one of those moments of pure joy. She felt completely and utterly happy. Things were good; no chaos had inflicted Mystic Falls in quite a while. She sat there watching her love spin the little girl with curly hair around in pure glee. She took a sip of the cup of blood taking it in, having one of those moments not believing she was at her happiest as a vampire living with her vampire boyfriend, admiring their little miracle child.
She yelled in pure joy, "Again! Again!"
He took her one more time and spun her around so fast a human probably couldn't see. Once he stopped, the wind blew her curls all around and she squeed, "That was awesome!"
Then Elena got up and said, "Enough of that."
"Sorry dear. I couldn't help myself, Sofia brings it out of me."
"Of course." Elena said smiling.
Then Sofia super sped to Elena's chair and took a sip of her cup of blood.
"Sofia Salvatore! That is very rude."
The little girl spit it out and said, "Gross!"
Elena took the cup out of her hand and said, "It serves you right."
"Ew, bunny blood. Daddy is always saying how gross bunny blood is."
Elena gave her a small sad sigh and then said, "I bet he does."
His strong arms lied on her shoulder and said, "Don't fret my dear. She's a spirited child."
"Oh, I know." Elena said smiling at her.
He then said, "Sofia, I have some deer blood if you'd like some."
"Oooh, yummy!"
He grabbed the little 6 year old and took her hand, starting to lead her out of the living room and into the kitchen. Then suddenly the door flew open and Bonnie burst through it. Sofia's eyes went wide and she practically flew to the angry witch, "Mommy!"
Bonnie grabbed her daughter and held her, positioning her to carry her on the side of her waste.
Then she looked at her two best friends and said, "Elena, Elijah, we have a major problem!"
7 Years Earlier:
Elena stared at the letter Elijah gave her. This right here was evidence of why she never wanted to hurt the original in the first place. Elijah was a good, decent, honorable man, who in the last day had only acted uncharacteristically to ensure his survival, just like she did the day before when she ensured his death in order to kill Klaus to ensure her survival. It tore at her the whole time. She couldn't stand it looking at Elijah watching him sip that Champaign, lying to him by telling him he had nothing to worry about. The pain in his eyes when he confronted her telling her he knew she was lying to his face was unbearable. They both had acted in a way to ensure their own survival and to also make sure their loved ones wouldn't be harmed either. It seemed like no matter what, someone always suffered so she could remain safe. Lately Bonnie seemed to be the one to get fallout on everything. Now Bonnie's mother was turned into a vampire and her best couldn't even look at Elena. She couldn't even be there for her best friend; she couldn't be there for her sister. She hated this. She was sick and tired of this.
Elena cared so much for both Damon and Stefan, but sometimes she wished they didn't care so much about her. Sometimes she wished everyone in this town didn't care so much. She wished she could just run a way and just keep everyone safe from the chaos her mere existence had brought on them. She supposed she should end this blasted day and just go to sleep, hoping the next day would be better. Hoping Bonnie would be able to look at her without blaming her. Hoping that Stefan would be the old Stefan she knew and loved. Hoping Damon would stop acting out. Hoping that for one day no one she loved would be hurt because of her.
She laid her head on the pillow, squeezing her eyes shut. Who was she kidding? There was no way she was going to get any sleep. She got up took her old cheerleading bag and packed essential clothes and then went in the bathroom and packed essential toiletries. She had enough of this. She had enough of this blasted town. She had enough of being the center of all of this pain and suffering for everyone.
The next thing she knew, Elena found herself at the gate of Klaus' mansion. She saw Elijah putting a suitcase in the trunk. He looked at her surprised.
"Elena, I did not expect to see you."
"I know." She replied in a low voice, looking down.
"I trust you read my letter."
"Yes."
"That is why you are here, to say goodbye?" He asked stepping towards her.
Then he looked at her bag in her hand.
"Not exactly, you're leaving… I want to leave with you."
He looked at her, unbelieving.
"Why? Any pain you or your loved ones are feeling is because of me."
"And you only did that because of me." Elena countered.
Then Elijah looked at her long and hard, pondering deeply. Then he took a deep breath and said,
"All of this pain and suffering that has happened because you are the doppelganger."
"Yes, I know, I caused everyone so much pain because I simply exist."
"Because you exist as the doppleganger. You wouldn't exist as the doppelganger, if it wasn't for me."
"What are you talking about?"
"You're ancestor Tatia. You are the doppleganger of the girl whom Klaus and I feuded over. My mother's effort to protect us from the werewolves and from our selves she used her blood. To stop us from hurting each other, they sacrificed her. If I wasn't so foolish there would be no doppelgangers, there would be no curse, and you would be a normal girl. If I hadn't fallen for her…"
"Stop it. It's not your fault."
"Elena, of course it is. If I haven't…"
"You and everyone else shouldn't be punished just because you fell in love." Elena said surprised at the hot tears that were escaping her eyes.
"Even so, why would you want to leave with me?"
"You are an honorable man. I trust you. I trust you to protect me. I'm not stupid, I know if I leave I still won't be free from Klaus or his followers. I'll always have plenty of enemies who want me dead. If I leave away from everyone, I know you will protect me."
"You're faith in me is touching, but you are upset. I wouldn't do anything rash."
"My mind is made up."
The original vampire sighed. "Give it a night. If you still feel the same way tomorrow I will then leave with you."
Elena bit her lip and said, "Tomorrow then."
Bonnie carried her daughter on her hip in full panic mode.
"Mommy you're aura is rumbling." Sofia said, tugging on her mom's shirt.
"Thanks sweetie."
Then Elena asked, "What's the big emergency?"
Bonnie was about to say something when she looked down at her 6 year old. She loved her, she filled her with so much joy but she was still a 6 year old and 6 year olds still didn't understand the meaning of secrets. Then she looked at her best friends and asked, "Where's Cassie?"
"She's moping in the gym, probably destroying the punching bag." Elena said.
"What's wrong? This place is protected from witch hunters and any dark magic that is after her."
"True, but it doesn't exactly protect her from her bad boy ex-boyfriend." Elena said.
"Bad boy ex-boyfriend? Wow, great I have the same problem as a teenager."
Elena and Elijah stared at Bonnie blankly and then Elena asked, "Please tell me that just means you got in a fight with Damon and you're referring to him."
"Yeah, I wish. No me and Damon have been doing great lately. I am dealing with my actual bad boy ex-boyfriend."
"Mommy! You have a bad-boy ex-boyfriend? Is he tall, blonde, and pretty like Cassie's?"
"Cassie!" Elijah, Elena, and Bonnie yelled at the same time.
Cassie came running in with her blonde hair put up in a ponytail all sweaty wearing a sports bra and gym shorts. Out of breath she asked, "What is it?"
Bonnie said, "Cassie, can you watch Sophie so I can talk to your guardians for a bit."
"Oh, well, I was just prepping to train with Alaric. He's supposed to show me how to …"
"I know but it's important." Bonnie said, earnestly.
Then Sofia said, "Cassie! Cassie! Guess what? Mommy has a bad boy ex-boyfriend like you!"
Cassie's face lit up with a mix between recognition and shock. "Oh, I see. Sure. Come on Sofie. Let's play a game."
Sofia jumped to Cassie and said, "Cassie, play magic with me!"
The blonde rolled her eyes. At least it was a kid saying this time. "Sure, Sofie. Now let's go."
"Kay. Bye mommy, love you!"
"Love you too sweet heart."
Bonnie worriedly looked back as she watched Cassie leave with her daughter. Elena did not like that worried look, it hurt her. She was really having a nice blissful moment. Things were finally peaceful, they had made the town a safe haven for all supernaturals who wanted to be good and the startled panicked look on her best friend's face was not good.
"Alright Bon, what's going on? Please tell me he's not here."
Bonnie sighed heavily and said, "I wish I could but sadly I can't, he's here. He finally found a way to get through my unwanted visitors barrier spell that I put on this town."
"How? It has worked for all of these years." Elena asked truly scared.
"I don't know." Bonnie said sinking into the leathery couch her brown curls falling on her shoulders.
Then Elijah said, "What does my brother want? He would not come here without a purpose."
"Besides me?" Bonnie asked barely looking up at both of them.
Elijah said, "I know my brother's feelings for you have always been strong, but never strong enough to stop his constant diabolical plans."
"Gee thanks." Bonnie said taking a glass of blood drinking it, hopelessly staring at it.
Elena put her hand on Elijah arm silently scolding him and then went to Bonnie and sat beside her and asked, "Does Damon know?"
"That Klaus is here? Yes."
Elena's breath hitched full of anxiety and extreme worry.
"Did he find out about you and Klaus? About Sofia?"
Bonnie shook her head and said, "No, but it's only a matter of time that he figures it out now that Klaus is here."
Elena looked at Bonnie, she had stayed strong for so long, but she knew she always feared that Damon would find out in the worse possible way and it would blow up in all of their faces.
"So why is Klaus here? Really?"
"I'm not sure, he showed up at our doorstep when Damon was right there. He wants to talk to me alone."
Elena and Elijah looked at each other worried.
Then Elena said, "And you agreed?"
"I have to. I just…I don't know if I can face him. I want him gone. He'll ruin everything, everything we worked for in this town and not to mention Sofia. I can't let her be caught up in all of this. I don't know what to do." Bonnie said at a complete loss.
Then Elijah took the seat on the opposite of them.
"You must go to him and see why he's here."
Bonnie looked up at him fear covered all over her face.
"I don't think I can. What if he's coming here for simple revenge? What if he's here to kill Damon? What if he somehow found out about Sofia? What if he did simply come here for me and I become that awful being I was before?"
Elijah took Bonnie's hand within his and said, "That is why you must go. The 'what ifs' will drive you mad."
Elena took Bonnie's other hand within hers and said, "I'll come with you. I won't let you face him alone. I'll be your buffer."
Bonnie sighed as she let go of Elena and Elijah's hand and got up and said, "I don't know what he's up to. I don't know what kind of mood he's in and so many impossible things have happened, what if he still needs you somehow. Or worse he finally wants to kill you for revenge."
"I don't care. I want to be there for you, Bon."
"I appreciate it. You know I do, but I don't want to deal with the risk." Bonnie said.
"Bonnie I don't want you to see him alone."
"Do you think I'll cave in?"
"Of course not. I know you're over him, you love Damon now. But if he came here for revenge, then what if he's here to kill you?"
"Yes, well, I can't be killed."
"It's Klaus, if anyone can figure it out it's him. We can't take chances with him." Elena said.
Bonnie nodded and said, "You're right."
Then both girls looked up at Elijah and then Elijah said, "Do you want me there, Bonnie?"
Bonnie gently pressed her lips together and said, "I would actually be relieved if you were there."
Elena smiled relieved as well. She hated that this was happening and Klaus was here in town but the fact Elijah was there to help her best friend through this ordeal did make her feel a thousand times better. They all have been through so much but they seemed to find a strong resilient peace that no matter what struggle came there way they were able to fight it. They had made Mystic Falls a place of peace and safety and a sanctuary from the rest of the cruel supernatural world but they also made it a place where they would always fight for the safety of the town. They fought and conquered so much. There didn't seem to be anything that they couldn't conquer. There was a tiny looming feeling of doubt that came to Elena but she had to bury it deep down and believe that whatever it was that they would overcome it like they always did.
EEEEEECAKEEEEEEECAKEEEEEECAKE
Elena found Sofie sitting on the ground with a bunch of toys floating up in the air. Cassie sat next to her also levitating fruit and exploding them with her mind.
"You're so picking that up." Elena said.
Cassie shrugged, "I will. I'm frustrated."
Elena smiled and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"What's there to talk about? Jake found me. I'll deal. I'm totally going to kick his ass to kingdom come. Bad boy jerk!"
"Well, if there's nothing to talk about…" Elena said sarcastically.
"I just thought I was finally free of him. I mean this town is a safe place and unwanted visitors aren't welcome."
"I am sorry about that. We will figure it out, but maybe it is time for you to face him. You can't run away from him forever. "
"I know. I just….seeing you and Elijah together and Bonnie and Damon together I could tell that both guys had a shady past, especially Damon. I thought that they were like, I don't know, redemptive bad boys and you and Bonnie like changed them for the better. I thought maybe down the road there still could be hope for Jake you know? Once I'm ready and strong enough not to let him draw me back in to use dark magic with him."
Elena looked at her ward with a sympathetic smile and let her to sit down at the couch said, "Oh sweetie, you can't change a guy, believe me I know, I tried. Elijah's goodness has nothing to do with me. He's always been a good, honorable man, although he has made mistakes like I have. We have been able to come back from that because we respect each other. As for Damon, well, he's a clear example of you can't change a guy. He has to want to change himself. You can help bring the best out of him but it has to be his choice and you have to let him make it as well as he has to let you make yours."
"You have all of the answers don't you?" Cassie asked.
Elena laughed, "Not even close, but I try."
Then suddenly Sofia dropped all of her toys that were floating in the air and said, "Cassie! Cassie! You're Bad Boy Ex- Boyfriend is here! Mmmmmmmmm he smells so good, Aunt Lena can I bite him?"
"No!" Cassie and Elena said at the same time.
Sofie pouted in disappointment.
All of the lights flickered on and off and random objects were flying around the room.
Cassie face filled with pure panic.
"No, no, no, no! I can't see him now! Look at me, I'm a mess!"
Elena just smiled and shook her head.
"You look fine, you can do this, just put yourself together, and that includes cleaning this mess." Elena said pointing to all the random objects floating chaotically all over the play room. Then Cassie took a deep breath and all of the objects fell down and then they magically floated to their proper place.
Then Elena took Sofie's hand and said, "Come on pick up your toys and let's go."
Sofie complained, "Oh, man! I want to see him up close!"
"Sofie, come on."
"Yeah, yeah, coming." Then she snapped her fingers and her toys followed her as they left.
Jake slinked with a devilish grin and looked at Cassie up and down and he said, "Nice outfit."
"What do you want Jake?"
"You got my message I presume."
"Yea, I got it. How did you even manage to get in here? There are protection spells."
"Yeah, I know I tried breaking them before but I couldn't figure it out and almost gave up to go back home. But then a vampire with a British accent found me and gave me this nifty medallion where I could tap into our connection from the circle and would able to break through the spell, since you got in by permission so my little group could come in."
"Your group?" Cassie asked.
"Yeah, the British vamp had a couple of vampire companions he traveled with."
"Did it not occur to you that you would bring real danger to this town?"
"This town is full vampires. You're living with two."
"How did you know?"
"Oh, please, I know. You know I always like to find out everything I can. This is a nice town, a little nice haven for supernatural and believe me, you're going to need it."
"What are you up too?"
"Oh, you know same old, same old, protecting you and everyone from witch hunters." Jake said.
BKEBKEBKEBKEBKEBKE
Elijah stood close to Bonnie as they waited in the clearing for Klaus.
"Are you going to be okay?" Elijah asked.
"We'll see." Bonnie said as she saw Klaus strut in the afternoon sunlight sparkling off of his gorgeous smiling face. It has been years since she's saw him, since she touched him, since she…she had to shake the thoughts away. She had come so far from that girl she used to be.
"Oh, my love I thought I requested you to come alone."
"Too bad so sad, Klaus." Bonnie said folding her arms across her chest.
"It is great seeing you brother, but I would rather speak to my love alone."
"Well, she would rather not speak to you unaccompanied so if it is all the same to you, brother."
Klaus flashed an amused grin and said, "Really, love? Do you not trust yourself with me alone?"
"Can we just get to business Klaus? Why are you here? What do you want?"
"Well, you know what I want, that's never changed." He stepped closer towards her, looking straight into her deep green eyes.
"Sure." Bonnie said staring fiercely and then asked, "I repeat. Why are you here?"
"Why else? To save you."
End of Chapter
A/N: Wait, Elena and Elijah are together and taking care of Cassie from Secret Circle, Bonnie and Damon have a kid together, and Jake and Klaus are working together to protect Cassie and Bonnie? Yeps, this fic is literaly insane and it's just going to be even more crazier, hehe. Again, sorry if it's too jumbled or confusing. If you guys have questions, don't be afraid to ask, and remember reviews are my life force! If I don't get any, I'll die! JK, or am I? Don'te be afraid to tell what you don't like about this or what needs to be better. Just constructive criticism please!
IMPORTANT: Sally and I still aren't 100% sure who we want Bonnie to end up with, even this still focuses on the awesomness that is Klonnie, which is kind of the beauty of writing this. But we really want to know what you guys think.
Love :)
