SWEET DREAMS OR BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARES

Bella's Point of View

I had stayed in my room for three days and all the scrying was seriously starting to wear on me. Against my better judgment I decided to head over to the grill to grab a bite to eat. Just as I had ordered my food Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline walked in. I was about to escape, but it was too late; Bonnie felt my presence and was headed my way.

As soon as she got to the table she said, "Who are you?"

I played it off, "I'm sorry did I do something?"

"Do you know what I am?" she asked again getting angry.

"A bitch maybe." I said.

"Hey don't talk to my friend like that." Caroline said and I knew she was trying her best to control her emotions.

"Caroline, Bonnie why don't you guys get us a table." Elena said and when they left she turned back to me, "I'm sorry about my friends they are a little stressed right now."

"It's cool." I said desperately looking for my waitress so I could leave.

"So are you new here?" Elena asked sitting across from me.

"Yeah, just sort of taking some me time and traveling." I said.

"Have you ever been here before; I feel like we've met." Elena said.

Oh shit I thought to myself, "No, I just am passing through." I said.

"Well why don't you have lunch with us?" Elena said.

"No thanks," I said as my waitress came with my food.

"Well I hope to see you around." Elena said and walked over to Bonnie and Caroline.

I decided if I left now it would look suspicious so I stayed and finished eating. I turned in my seat to see where my waitress was and when I turned around Damon was sitting across from me.

"Every time we meet I'm just arriving and you're leaving; why is that?" he asked me.

"I don't know." I said; god he looked so much better in person than when I scryed.

"I want to apologize for my behavior the last time we meet I was having a weird day." He said.

"Apology accepted." I said and my waitress came over.

I went to reach for my wallet, but Damon stopped me, "No, no, allow me it's the lease I can do after I acted." He said and paid for my meal.

"Thanks." I said.

"So you want to hear something weird?" he asked out of the blue.

"Sure." I replied.

"I had a dream about you." He said.

I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me, "Do you say that to all the girls?" I asked.

"No, but seriously I did; you and I were in a coffee house." he said and I froze. He was starting to remember because that was the first night we met.

"Really well I've never seen you before the other day." I said and stood up to leave.

"I'm Damon." He said standing as well.

"I'm leaving." I said and headed for the door.

I had just opened my car door when I heard someone yell; "SIRENA!"

I froze again and slowly turned to see Damon standing at the door to the Grill. My tears started welling up and I quickly got in the car and left.

Damon's Point of View

I had to follow her; I had to know if she knew, "SIRENA!" I yelled from the front door.

Slowly she turned to me and I saw she knew who I was. It was obvious she was the missing piece. All I had dreamed about for three days was her and so had all the others. I walked back into the Grill and sat down with the others;

"Well?" Caroline asked.

"She knew who I was." I said.

"Well let's go after her." Bonnie said standing up.

"No we can't something isn't right; when I yelled sirena at her she almost cried. I don't think she did this to hurt us more to protect us." I said.

"From what?" Caroline asked.

"From what's coming for me." Elena said. "I had a dream last night and in it she was saying goodbye saying that it was the only way."

"I had the same one." Stefan said. "She seems to want to protect us."

"Bonnie I feel like we've known her our entire lives so don't scare her off." Elena said.

"We need answers." I said.

"The question is how do we get them?" Bonnie asked.

"What about Katherine?" Elena said, "Maybe she knows who the girl is."

"I don't think that's a good idea." I said, "She will want something in return and I think we know what that is."

"She'll want out." Stefan stated.

"What are we going to do then? Do you have any ideas?" Elena pressed. None of us answered and she stood up, "Since we have that sorted out I'm going to see Katherine." Stefan and I stood up to follow, but she stopped us, "No, I'm going alone." With that she turned and walked away.

Elena's Point of View

On my way to the tomb I couldn't help, but think of the dream I had a few days ago;

(Flashback to dream)

"You can't leave." I said turning the girl to face me.

"I have to I can't control my power any more Ellie." The mystery girl said.

She had brown hair and was younger, but it was her.

"Why can't you stay? We're best friends you can't leave." I said.

"It's too dangerous to be around me." She said.

"This is about Chris isn't it." I accused, "Why are you blaming yourself when it wasn't your fault?" I asked.

"Because it was; I have to go. Bye Ellie." She said and left.

(End flashback)

This girl knew me and I knew her; we were best friends and for some reason she left. I wanted to know what was going on and why she would do this to us.

When I got to the tomb I could hear voices and I snuck down; I saw the girl talking to Katherine and listened in.

"So have you decided you're ready to talk?" the girl asked.

"Yes." Katherine replied.

"So they need Elena to end the curse; tell me about Klaus." The girl said.

"He's dangerous; he'll kill everyone you love and care about if you don't do what he wants. There's another way out for Elena; she could be changed." Katherine said.

"No, if Elena wants to be changed it will be because she's ready not because some psychotic old vampire wants her dead." The girl snapped.

"He will get to you." Katherine said.

"No he won't." the girl replied and then stumbled.

"Someone's being using too much magic." Katherine jabbed.

The girl stood up and looked at Katherine, "Yes I have; I'll see you in a few days." She said and threw a blood bag at Katherine.

I hid in the shadows as the girl stumbled up the stairs. When I heard her pull away I walked down and faced Katherine.

She looked up at me, "Elena, why are you still here when your friend left?" she asked.

"How do you know her?" I asked.

"That little witch has been in my way; although now that Damon loves her I want him back. How's Stefan?" she smirked.

"What's her name?" I asked ignoring her.

"What is wrong with you; she's been your best friend since forever." Katherine said. When I didn't answer Katherine started laughing, "So that's what she did; she erased any memory of her. Clever girl; it will be hard to track her down when no one knows her."

"Answer me." I said.

"No, I think I'm going to enjoy this." Katherine said and sank into the shadows of the tomb.

Damon's Point of View

(Begin dream/memory)

"So you called." The mystery girl said.

"Yes well when you said you didn't care that I bite I took that as an invitation." I replied smirking.

"It was." She said and blushed. "Where are we going?"

"A surprise." I replied.

"I don't like surprises." She said.

"Indulge me." I said. "When did you learn you were a witch?" I asked.

"I was about 5; I got really angry and suddenly the table in front of me was on fire." She said.

"I thought it took witches years to learn how to wield the elements." I said confused.

"Yeah, but apparently I have an affinity for them. I've been able to control them since that first incident." She said.

I looked at her necklace and reached for it; "What's this?" I asked

She stopped my hand and froze up; finally she unfroze.

"Sorry." She said and I dropped my hand.

"What was that?" I asked.

"When I touched your hand I saw your life; all of it. How and why you were turned, what you've done." She replied. "It's a witch power sorry I have no control over it. To answer your question it's a family heirloom. The Celtic knot with four points represents the four elements and this stone here is called a moonstone. Moonstone is pretty much nonexistent these days and very valuable."

"What does the moonstone mean?" I asked intrigued.

"It has many meanings, hope, intuition, fertility, balance, love, and wishes." She replied.

"Fertility hmm?" I asked.

"It's one of the things it represents. There's nothing wrong with fertility; it doesn't just mean babies Damon." She said.

"Then how do you view it?" I questioned.

"Growth." She replied simply.

In that one statement I learned there was a whole new side to her. As I was trying to figure her out she spoke up;

"I know where you're taking me." She said.

"Where is that?" I teased.

"To the tomb." She replied and I froze, "It's alright I saw it in the vision I had, but Damon I can't help you."

I sighed and she placed her hand on mine, "I supposed it was hopeless." I said.

"Damon can I give you some advice?" she asked and I nodded, "Some doors are meant to stay closed. From what I saw of your past Katherine didn't love you."

I slammed on the brakes and pulled her out of the car and wrapped my hand around her throat, "You know nothing." I said and let my fangs extend.

"I know…more…than you…..think." she said gasping and I was flung into a tree, "I really didn't want to do that."

"Who do you think you are?" I asked still baring my fangs.

"I don't know who I am yet." She replied.

"Don't play games with me." I growled.

"I'm not; you asked a question and I answered. Now do you want to kill me?" she asked.

"Why aren't you afraid?" I asked relaxing completely because I was so perplexed by this girl.

"I know I don't have to be afraid of you; I trust you." She said.

"That's a very dangerous thing to do." I replied.

"Maybe, but for some reason I know that I can always trust you." She said.

(End dream)

I woke up sweating; these dreams/memories were really getting on my nerves. I wanted to know who this girl was.

"DAMON! STEFAN!" I heard Elena yell and ran downstairs.

"What's up?" Stefan asked.

"The girl I saw her at the tomb talking to Katherine and Katherine knows her." Elena said.

"Are you sure?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah, Katherine knows what's going and so does that girl." Elena replied.

I grabbed my jacket and looked at my brother, "Are you coming?"

He followed behind me and we headed for the tomb. When we arrived Katherine was looking smug;

"Well looks like I'm just getting all sorts of visitors today." She said.

"Cut the crap Katherine and tell us what we want to know." I snapped.

"Oh you mean about the cutie blonde you have been all over for months now?" she said. "Wait you don't remember you're supposedly in love with her and she loves you."

"How do you know this?" I asked.

"Because I've been watching, but she loves you so much she erased your memories together. You know Damon we could make some new ones." She suggested.

"Why didn't we completely forget?" Stefan asked.

"Your ties run too deep; the love you have for each other is intense." Katherine said and looked at Elena, "A sister," then at Stefan, "a brother," and finally at me, "and the other half of her soul."

"How do we get our memories back?" Elena asked.

"Beats me I'm not a witch, but you should ask her." Katherine said and started for the shadows.

"Wait!" I said, "What's her name?"

Katherine turned to me and smirked, "Think about it long and hard Damon you once said thy name means beauty." And she disappeared.

We started walking back to the car and I stopped as one word…a name, flashed in my mind…..BELLA
