~I tried to finish this so I could have a little bit more time to write a chapter for my story 'The Salvatore Sister' which I want to update later on today.
~ I gotta say, I actually like this chapter. The future chapters (the next chapter, and I'm not completely sure how many right now) that will have some season three events in. I'm not going to say what ones ;)
~ This chapter starts almost exactly where the last chapter left off.
DarkAngel465: Thanks for the idea. Elena is going to attack someone, but you'll have to read to see who. She has a different reaction to each brother.
storylover3: When people find out, they might not react the way you think at first. I can say that when they are working together to get Elena back, there is going to be a different atmosphere between everyone because of their emotions.
ENJOY!
~At Night: Richmond. Klaus and Elena~
Klaus walked up to Elena with a drunken woman. "This is what we do." He said to her. "We take them at their weakest and we take what we need from them." Klaus brushed hair from the lady's neck and grouped it in the back. The lady was so drunk that she wasn't paying any attention to what was going on around her. "We drink from them until there is nothing left." Klaus said, looking straight into Elena's eyes. "Until their hearts stop beating." Elena stepped closer to the woman and Klaus. Klaus bit into the woman's neck and lifted his head. The smell of blood wafted to Elena and up her nostrils. She took a deep breath, smelling the scent of the blood. "Once you drink, the need will go away." He said with a smirk before plunging his fangs back into the woman's neck. Elena gulped before letting her fangs drop. She looked at the side that Klaus wasn't feeding from before plunging her fangs into the neck.
Elena felt the warmth of the blood flow down her throat and flow throughout her body. It gave her energy and warmth. She thought it was delectable. Her body craved it and she didn't fight the need for it. She gave into the need by taking more and more blood from the body. The heart started to slow, Elena just sucked more, trying to get every last drop. She felt the heart beat stop and let the body fall to the ground.
"Elena." She heard whispered from behind her. Elena turned around. Her fangs were still showing and there was blood around her mouth. Two people stared in shock at her. She saw Stefan and Damon, but didn't know who they were. She sped towards Stefan, still baring her fangs. Stefan didn't fight her. He didn't want to hurt her. He simply held her away from him.
"What the hell!" The Damon yelled before pulling Elena off of Stefan. He held her in front of him and looked straight into her eyes. "Elena." He said quietly. She didn't know what it was. If it was his blue and caring eyes, or if it was the softness in his voice, or something else, but her fangs started to retract. A small smile flashed on Damon's face. He felt like he got through to her. She looked into his eyes and felt something, but she didn't know what it was. Her vampire features had completely disappeared. "Elena." He whispered to her again.
"Who are you?" She asked him quietly as she looked into his eyes. Confusion, concern, sadness all appeared in his eyes.
"Elena." She heard Klaus say from behind her. Elena slowly looked away from Damon's eyes and made her way towards Klaus.
"What did you do with her?" Damon angrily asked Klaus. His fists were clenched at his side. The only things stopping him from attacking Klaus was Elena and the fact that Klaus is stronger than he is. He didn't doubt Klaus would kill him if he tried anything right there.
"I didn't do anything." Klaus said to him. "If anything, I saved her. If I didn't find her in the woods alone, she could have died. Or she could have gone on a massacre, killing people one after another."
"She wouldn't do that." Stefan said as he stared at Klaus.
"Don't deny it Stefan." Klaus took a step closer to Stefan. "You can't ignore what's right in front of your eyes." Klaus looked between Stefan and Damon. "Elena is a vampire. You two know better than anyone what vampires are capable of." Klaus and Stefan stared at each other. Damon didn't take his eyes off of Elena. 'What went wrong?' He thought. Damon didn't know if Klaus compelled her or what happened. Klaus turned around and faced Elena. She didn't break eye contact with Damon. "Elena." Klaus said as he stood next to her. She let out a breath before looking at Klaus. "Let's go." Her eyes went to the dead body. "Don't worry about that. They are either going to leave it there or get rid of it." Klaus put his hand on her shoulder and she turned around. They both walked away, leaving Damon and Stefan behind them.
Klaus and Elena walked into the house.
"Let's get you cleaned up." Klaus said before they walked up the stairs, towards Elena's room.
"Who were they?" Elena asked as they entered into her room.
"Vampires that hate me." Klaus said to her. "They knew you when you were human, before a time you wanted to be a vampire." They walked into the bathroom connected to her room and wet a wash rag. "Before the ritual where you had to be sacrificed, they protected you. They thought that after, you were going to be dead forever and they tried to avoid that." Klaus gently wiped away the blood from Elena's mouth. "Although you had a different plan. You came to me and asked to spare your life. I couldn't, but I knew a way that would bring you back to life after the sacrifice happened."
"The elixir." Elena said as Klaus tossed the rag on the counter and looked at Elena.
"Yes. You could have been given vampire blood to survive, but at the time you didn't want that."
"I wanted to stay human." Elena said to Klaus as she looked at him.
"Yes and you did. Somebody turned you though."
"Who?"
"I don't know but we will find out eventually." Klaus and Elena started at each other's eyes. There was a pause between them.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For not letting me die." A quick, small smile appeared on Klaus's face.
"You're welcome." Elena's eyes went to his lips. She didn't know if it was just because he was helping her or if it could have been from something from before losing her memory. Elena moved closer to him, still with her eyes on his lips. They moved closer before their lips gently touched. Klaus slowly moved away and looked into Elena's eyes. She looked into his before moving her lips back onto his.
~Stefan and Damon~
Stefan was sitting in the car. He didn't believe that Elena was a vampire. It couldn't have happened, there's no way. So many things went through his head. Who turned her? Why didn't she recognize him and Damon? Why was she listening to Klaus? Stefan took a deep breath, to try and be calm.
Damon opened the passenger door and sat in the car.
"I took care of the body." He said rather quietly. "What do we tell the others?" Stefan took a deep breath before saying anything.
"The truth." He said before turning his head to his brother. Damon gave a slight nod before starting the car.
~At The Salvatore boarding house~
Bonnie, Caroline, and Jeremy were sitting on the couch, each drinking a cup of coffee. Alaric was sitting on a chair, also drinking coffee. Damon called them and told them to gather at the boarding house. They didn't want to, but Damon said it was about Elena and really important. Bonnie turned her head to the front door as Stefan and Damon walked into the boarding house.
"We have good news and bad news." Damon said as he tossed his leather jacket onto an empty chair before going towards his liquor.
"What's the good news?" Caroline asked, not completely knowing if she wanted to know.
"The good news is we found Elena." Stefan said for Damon.
"And the bad news?" Alaric cautiously asked.
"She's with Klaus." Bonnie and Caroline looked at each other with wide eyes.
"What do you mean with Klaus?" Alaric asked. Damon chugged down his glass before almost slamming it on the table. Everybody looked at him.
"Klaus found her in the woods and helped her complete the transition." Damon started to pour himself another drink.
"Transition?" Caroline asked out loud. "You mean she's a…"
"Vampire." Stefan quietly answered for her.
"Are you sure it wasn't Katherine?" Jeremy asked.
"Of course we are." Damon said, almost on the verge of yelling.
"Katherine was the one to show us where Elena was." Stefan said to them.
"We need to find a way to get her away from Klaus without getting ourselves killed." Damon said, not looking at anyone.
"I'll get my Grimoire and come back after I get some sleep." Bonnie said before standing up.
"We don't have time for sleep." Damon snapped. "The longer she's with Klaus, the harder it will be to get her back."
"I understand you want her back Damon, we all do. But if we have any chance to get her back, we will need all our energy. Klaus will have the upper hand if we aren't at a hundred percent."
"She's right." Jeremy said to Damon. Damon glanced at them before heading towards his room.
"Caroline," Stefan started ", ask your mom to start tracking victims that might fit a vampire's victim." Caroline nodded. "Alaric, can you go through Isobel's stuff and see if there is anything about when the doppelganger turns into a vampire?" Alaric nodded. "And Bonnie? Don't forget to bring you Grimoire and any others you think might help." Bonnie nodded her head. "We all need a good night sleep so we can plan and bring Elena back." They all stood up and left right after another out the boarding house. Stefan stood and took a deep breath before walking upstairs.
~With Elena and Klaus~
They laid quietly on the bed. Both of their heads were on pillows, but facing each other. Their eyes were closed but their hands were almost touching between them. Klaus slowly started to open his eyes and the first thing he saw was Elena's sleeping face. He slowly moved his hand to hers, gently touching. Elena started to slowly open her eyes.
"Good morning." She tiredly said to Klaus.
" 'morning." He said as they looked at each other. "Sleep good?" Elena nodded her head. "We have a long day ahead of us." Klaus said as he looked at Elena before sitting up on the bed. "You just shower and I'll bring you some breakfast." Elena gave him a small smile before he got off of the bed and walked out.
Elena laid there for a moment. She still couldn't remember anything, even though it's only been about 24 hours since she was turned. It didn't bother her too much. What Klaus was telling her, satisfied her, at least for now. If she wanted to know something, she felt like he would tell her. Elena thought that Klaus had no reason to lie to her, so she believed him.
She got out of the bed and stood, looking out the window. The sun started to shine in on her. She just stared, looking at the trees in the distance. She took a deep breath before going to the dresser to get some clothes before getting in the shower.
Elena walked downstairs and could smell it. She smelled it last night and yesterday morning when he brought her back. There was a sound coming from a room. Elena walked closer, towards the smell. Klaus stepped in front of her, before she got to the room.
"Breakfast is waiting for you in here." He said to her before showing her into the room. A man and two women were standing in the living room. "Take your pick." Klaus whispered into Elena's ear.
"Why can't we just have some food?" She asked.
"They are food." He whispered in her ear. "They are here for us to eat from." Elena slowly walked into the room so she was able to see their faces. There was no emotion, no sign of fear or confusion on their faces.
"Why are they so calm?"
"I compelled them. This way they don't attract attention when we drink from them." Klaus looked at Elena. "You will need your strength for tonight." Elena looked at him before looking at the people. Klaus motioned for the man to step up to them. "Have at it sweetheart." Klaus stepped back from Elena. She looked at the man's neck. His pulse calling her, tempting her to plunge her sharp fangs into his neck. She stepped up to him. Her eyes fixed on his neck. Elena could feel her fangs to start to fall down. A breath escaped her mouth as she opened her mouth and let her fangs fall down. She looked at the neck before plunging her fangs into it. The blood flowed down her throat, giving her pleasure. Although, there was a part of her that felt sorry for the person she was feeding from. She quickly ignored it, pushing it deep and relishing in the taste of his blood.
~ It always seems like when I end a chapter for this story, I have the next chapter roughly planned out in my head.
~ What do you think of the way Damon and Stefan reacted to the news? What about the others?
~ Please feel free to leave any theories, thoughts, and ideas in the reviews.
~ I want to get the next chapter up within the next two weeks.
R&R 'till the next update
