Hi hi, and yes i know two chapters in one night, im crazy (or obssessed, take your pick) anyways i got a lot of positive feeback from my previous chapter and i was instantly inspired to follow with this new chapter. I wish this story didn't have to end :(.
"What happened?" Elena asked concerned looking at Stefan who was laying on the sofa, he seemed so brital and fragile, his skin was wrinkled and his once healthy looking hair was grey and lifeless, laying flat on his head.
"This didnt happen with the others, only Stefan" Damon frowned.
"Everyone else was human, think of it like the vampire cure, he started aging very quickly, the others did too but not at this rate, he should slow but there is still a connection between him and Tolucan" Katherine answered clutching one of Bonnie's grimoire's, looking through it at a leasurely pace.
"If we disconnect them completely, will Stefan return to being a vampire?" Damon enquired.
"I don't know, he may need to be turned again but i dont think the ageing that has already passed will reverse, its a shame really, he had such a handsome face" Katherine sighed if Elena didn't know her better she would have sworn she heard some genuine sorrow laced in her voice.
"So he is just going to die" Caroline hissed her blood begining to boil not hearing the genuine sympathy in Katherine's voice.
"Do you want to turn him? Submit him to the pain of being the ripper in which he had suffered for over 100 years?" Katherine demanded standing to attention. Caroline was silenced her mind running over what Katherine was saying.
Damon stood in silence, Elena could tell he was running through some inner turmoileof what to do.
"Look, I know what is happening to Stefan is bad, but Katherine said that Tolucan is at his weakest when his sources are removed, we need to strike now before he gathers alternative sources" Bonnie spoke up putting more courage in her words than what she actually felt.
"She's right, if we want him destroyed and Stefan freed for good we need to strike now" Katherine sighed slamming the Grimoire shut.
"But Stefan needs help" Caroline objected.
"That is why Elena, being the do gooder she is, will take care of him" Katherine offered with a smirk.
"But I'm going to be to busy helping you all take down Tolucan, Caroline will stay" Elena demanded crossing her arms.
"Elena a word please" Damon growled his eyes darkening, he took her elbow and began to pull her out of the room, not roughly of course.
"You can't stop me Damon" Elena snapped pulling out of his grip once they were alone.
"Elena your carry my child, you cannot fight" Damon scolded rubbing his temples.
"If I am not allowed to fight neither are you, your the father Damon, I can't take care of this child without you" Elena argued stubbonly.
"They need all the help they can get Elena, and before you demand on coming, you are forbidden" Damon declared.
"Forbidden? You are forbidding me?" Elena asked bitterly.
"Yes Elena, I forbid you, you can not help" Damon bit out slowly making sure to put emphasis on the can not, Elena scowled in obvious dissaproval.
"Then how will you lure him out without me?" Elena said hotly.
"Katherine" Damon shrugged and began to walk away.
"Katherine!" She screeched, "Your answer is Katherine!"
"Yes Katherine, your doppleganger" Damon yelled back.
"If I may interrupt, first of all she is my doppleganger not the other way around, and secoundlty, Elena will have to play bait" Katherine interrupted leaning on the doorframe, that irritating Katherine smirk plastered on her lips.
"You were the one to suggest she stayed out of it" Damon hissed.
"Your right, i did suggest it, but then I thought 'Hey, Tolucan isnt going to be up to playing our little game, expecially since he is weak and all'" Katherine smiled walking further into the room.
"She is not helping" Damon repeated.
"Too bad" Katherine snarled snapping Damons neck sending him collapsing to the floor.
"Damon!" Elena cried dropping to her knees and cradling his head.
"Get up we have work to do" Katherine growled pulling Elena to her feet and dragging her out of the room.
Elena stood on top of the clock tower, in the exact place Katherine stood when she was human. Her hands gripped the building tightly, the fall wouldn't kill her, that was for sure, but it would kill Damons and her child, there little bundle all snug and warm in her tummy, oblivious to the terrors of the outside world and how it came to be. Elena felt a tear begin to fall down her cheek, she was too afraid to let go of the building with one hand to wipe it away. She felt the wall crumble slightly beneath her killer grip, her vampire strength no match for the old bricks. She began to question why she allowed Katherine to have control over how they lured Tolucan out. Surely he knew this was a trap?
"I can't do it" Elena whispered feeling her self control snap within her, a fresh new wave of tears overcoming her.
*Flashback*
"We have already established that Tolucans overiding goal is to have Elena's baby katherine, but how can we play it to our advantage?" Bonnie asked.
"He would do anything to protect it and for now he would do anything to protect Elena since she is carrying it" Katherine rattled of as she paced infront of the fireplace, "We need to put the baby's life in danger" She concluded.
"What?!" Elean yelled her hands flying up to her swelling tummy curling around it protectively.
"Oh please he would step in before anything fatal would happen" Katherine stated waving her hand in the air as a sign of dissmissal.
"And how do you know that for sure?" Caroline hissed.
"The power that baby holds is too much for an Absorber like Tolucan to simply allow to die, the need to have it would be too great" Katherine answered.
"Great we are going to pray that he obeys his nature" Caroline mummbled but of course Katherine heard her.
"Its impossible to go against your nature" Bonnie stated.
"Stefan did, he drank animal blood not human" Elena interrupted.
"Blood is blood Elena, animal or human it is in a vampire's nature to consume it, without the blood, it will die" Bonnie sighed.
"Tolucan can survive of others, he survived of Stefan and those people, he could just go back and survive of them" Caroline growled, she couldnt believe Bonnie was suggesting they risk her little niece of nephew.
"Yes but you saw how quickly they were aging, they can barely last half a month before he needs a new supply, that is no life for his kind, your baby could last decades, the power within that child overides all other beings" Katherine explained and Elena grew silent, she knew there was no other way.
"So what do I do?"
*End of Flashback*
Elena opened her eyes and looked up at the night sky, it was nearing midnight ang she had been up there for 15 minutes already, waiting for some sign that Tolucan was out there. She knew he would be watching her, Katherine guarenteed it she said he was most likely absorbing the small amounts of energy and power coming from the baby even before it is born. Something so small needed to be kept close to in order to take any power from it.
"Years, and years of hating Katherine and here I am standing on a building because she told me too" She sobbed quietly. She took another look down at the ground, thanks to her improved vampire sight she could see everything perfectly, the distance she would fall and she wasnt allowed to land on her feet either, the baby would be in no danger then, she had to land on her back or preferably her front. Elena slowly closed her eyes and her grip began to lossed on the wall.
If this didnt work she would lose her child forever, if she didnt do it, she would lose her child and most likely all her friends and Damon. However if she did it, and it worked, She doesnt have to lose anything, for once in her life, she would not have to lose anyone and maybe her and Damon plus there little baby would live peaceful lives. With that in mind she let her self drift forewards and fall.
I know, im evil, the story has not ended yet, im not sure on whether Tolucan will save her or know its a trap and let her fall, killing the baby. Leave your ideas in the review or in a pm.
One question, Should I change the rating to an M?, please answer if you are reviewing and have some extra typing time. THANK YOU :)
