Shattered
Bella's Point of View
"How could you Bella?" Bonnie seethed at me. "We are supposed to be your friends and you went and erased our memories.
"I thought it was for the best." I said.
"And who the hell made you queen?" Caroline snapped.
"You don't understand." I snapped back. "This is so much more than you know."
"Then explain it to us." Stefan said.
"No." I said and looked out the window.
"Isabella Marie Swan," Matt said trying to be intimidating.
"Matthew Gregory Donavan." I replied.
"Either tell us or we lock you down." Jeremy said.
I smirked, "You can't catch the wind." I said and focused and disappeared from the limo.
I appeared back in my room at Ms. Flowers and quickly changed out of my dress. I looked at my phone and saw that my dad had left several messages. I knew I had a limited amount of time before the Cullen's and pack came back so I had to work fast. I went to the hidden floorboard and opened it pulling out a huge book. I had found it about a week ago through my contacts…it was Katherine's history. I grabbed my keys and headed to the tomb; sometimes you have to deal with fast before confronting the future.
Damon's Point of View
"Damn it." I said.
"I hate that she has that power." Tyler said.
"Wish I knew how to track her." Bonnie mumbled.
"What now?" Caroline asked.
"There's nothing we can do until she surfaces and with all of our memories back she has to come to school tomorrow." Jeremy said.
"Screw that." I said as we pulled up to the boarding house.
I headed up the stairs and there was Rose; quickly I blurred and had her by the throat.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"To help." She said.
"Damon let her go." Stefan said and I did.
"I might have a way of contacting Klaus if you're interested." She said.
We walked into the house and I grabbed a drink, "How can you contact Klaus?" I asked, "I thought you were on his shit list."
"I am, but I have a friend who has many contacts. Look you don't understand, Klaus is the oldest of the old. No one knows who his maker was, but we're pretty sure Klaus killed him. He will stop at nothing until he gets Elena." Rose said.
"So you're saying the oldest vampire in history wants me." Elena said.
"And your friend Bella." Rose said and we all glared at her.
Elena sat there for a moment and then stood up, "I'm going home; I can't do this right now."
"I'll drive you." Stefan said.
"No," Elena said, "I just want to be left alone."
Elena left and so did everyone except for Stefan, Rose, and I;
"So what can we do?" I asked.
"Nothing; if they want Bella and Elena you have to give them to him." Rose said.
"We aren't giving them over." I growled.
"They you'll die with them." She said.
"Can't think of a better way to go." Stefan said.
"What about your friend; how about you take me to meet them?" I suggested.
"Find, but it's not going to help." She said and went to make a call.
"What do you think?" Stefan asked me.
"I think that I'm going to kill whoever gets close to Bella." I replied.
"Damon nothing is going to happen to Elena or Bella." He said.
"You're right," I said and slammed my glass down, "I've waited too long and fought too hard for this to be ruined." Stefan laughed, "What's funny?"
"You have changed so much and I'm starting to see some of my old brother." He said.
"Don't get too used to it." I said and patted him on the head and then leaned down, "Also remember I can still kick your ass." And left the room.
Bella's Point of View
I walked into the tomb and sat down the bag I was carrying then used to open the door.
"Come out come out wherever you are." I said and slowly Katherine came into view, "How's my favorite psycho?" I asked.
"Thristy." She replied.
"Well play nice and answer all my questions and you get," I said and pulled out several bottles of blood, "A prize."
"Starting without me?" I heard someone say and turned to see Elena.
"Elena what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Hey everyone needs a partner and right now everyone is willing to listen to me and not you; so either you let me in on the inquisition or I speed dial Damon." She threatened.
"Teenage drama how I don't miss those years." Katherine said.
"Shut it Kathy you are forever 17 therefore initially you will always be viewed an ignorant teenager." I said and turned back to Elena, "Fine, but we play by my rules. What I say goes; got it?"
"Got it." Elena said and followed me back to the entrance. "Hello Katherine." She said.
"Elena." Katherine said.
"Alright let's get started; I brought you something." I said and pulled out the book, "It's your family history. So where do you want to begin?"
"I don't care." She said.
"Remember answer and get a prize." Elena said.
Katherine slumped down to the ground and we sat down, "What do you want to know?"
"How about the very beginning." Elena suggested and threw her a bottle of blood.
"When I was human my indiscretions did not go unnoticed and I ended up pregnant out of wedlock. My father couldn't shame so her hid me away until I had the baby. I begged my mother and father to let me hold her, but he refused and took her away from me. It was kept secret that I ever gave birth and I was sent to London shortly after that." She said.
"When did you meet Klaus?" I asked.
"Shortly after I arrived; admittedly I became enamoured with him until I found out what he was and what wanted and then I ran like hell." She replied and reached out her hand towards me, "Wanna see?" she asked.
"Bella don't." Elena said.
"It's the only way to know if she's telling the truth." I said and touched Katherine's hand.
Vision
I was standing in the middle of the woods with Katherine running towards me. She ran through me and then tripped falling. Suddenly three men blurred and sniffed the air;
"Katerina." I heard a familiar voice say and as I walked closer I saw Elijah, "I know you're here, I can smell your blood."
I looked and watched as Katherine began to panic.
"Find her." Elijah said and they blurred out of sight.
Katherine stood up and suddenly Trevor was in front of her covering her mouth.
"I can't distract them for long run to the cottage at the edge of the clearing." He said.
"I can't run anymore." She said.
"You have to." He said and then shouted, "She went east." He said and disappeared.
End Vision
I pulled back gasping for air;
"Is she telling the truth?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, so far." I said. "So that's how you met Rose." I said.
"Yes, she was at the cottage and the moment I showed her the moonstone she threw me into a room and locked it saying that Trevor was an idiot and hopefully by giving me and the stone would buy his forgiveness." She said.
"What happened next?" Elena asked.
"I found a knife and cut myself; Rose came in and fed me her blood. I begged her to kill me." Katherine said, but I could see the deceit in her eyes.
"No you put on an act." I said.
"You are a clever little witch." She said, "Yes I tricked Rose into feeding me her blood and then I hung myself and shortly after I died Trevor and Rose found me. When I woke Trevor chastised me, but Rose saw through my act and came at me with a stake. I grabbed the human who owned the house and Rose ended up stabbing her instead and then I fed and ran."
"You caused them to have to run." Elena said.
"Better them than me." Katherine said and started to head for the shadows.
"Don't even think about it." I said and used my powers causing her to wither in pain, "We aren't done yet."
I released her and she bared her fangs at me, "What else do you want to know?"
"What about the moonstone explain it." Elena said.
"Fine, the moonstone can break the sunlight curse allowing us walk in the light without anything to protect us and it would seal the moon curse that way the werewolves would always be tortured. Only one of us can be free." She said.
"So if I use the moonstone to free Tyler…" I said.
"You seal the sun curse for vampires." Katherine finished. "But it's not just Elena's blood they need."
I froze and looked at her, "Who else?"
"You Swan witches had such a way with spells back in the day. Always trying to close every loophole or make it nearly impossible to break a curse." Katherine said ignoring me. "Petrova blood was what sealed the curse; which is why they need you Elena and Bella since your family cast it. I'm surprised Bella that you are friends with wolves and vampires seeing as your ancestors were the ones that implemented the sun and moon curse. So many sacrifices for one little spell."
"What do you mean?" Elena asked.
"She came back to hand us over. You're the last Petrova, I'm the last Swan witch, but there has to something else you said so many sacrifices; who else?" I asked.
"A werewolf of course." Katherine said.
"Tyler." Elena whispered.
"Another witch." Katherine said.
"Bonnie." I said.
"And last but not lease a vampire." Katherine said.
"Caroline." Elena and I said together.
"I suppose it could be any vampire but I like the poetry of Caroline." She said.
"You sick bitch." Elena said and headed for her, but I grabbed her.
"Elena she's trying to play you into her hand." I said and pulled her back.
"I've been running for five hundred years I'm tired; better you die than I." she said and that sent chills down my spine.
Elena and I stepped out of the tomb to get some air and calm down and saw it was light. I looked at my watch and it was already noon.
"Guess we aren't going to make it to class." I said.
"It's alright, I had Caroline cover for us." She said, "Bella….."
I stopped her, "Don't we'll figure a way out."
"ELENA!" I heard Stefan yell and I groaned.
Immediately he was at our sides and then looked at me, "What the hell are you two doing here?" he asked.
"Finding some information out." Elena said.
"Everything Katherine says is a lie don't you two know that." He groaned.
"Oh Bella, Elena, Stefan I haven't told you the best part of the story yet." I heard Katherine yell and I ran down the steps.
"What?" I asked, "I'm tired of the games."
"It doesn't matter what you two do; Klaus will get revenge on you." She said and held her hand out to me; before Stefan could stop me I took it.
Vision
Katherine was riding a horse and stopped seeing an overturned carriage and then saw it was her brother…..dead. She ran the rest of the way home and found her entire family dead. She started screaming and cradling her dead mother.
End vision
I stumbled back and Stefan caught me as I sobbed feeling her pain.
She smirked, "He will kill everyone you love and care about to get back at you if you don't do what he wants." Then she pulled out the moonstone, "Of course this could help you."
"See this is her game; she wants to trade the moonstone for her freedom." Stefan said and then looked at Katherine, "You sick manipulative psychotic bitch."
"Freedom?" she laughed, "Why would I want that? When Klaus comes to kill us all which he will I will be in here where no vampire will enter because they can't get out; I'll be the safest psychotic bitch." And she disappeared.
"Come on," I said pulling Elena, "Get the others and meet me at the boarding house."
I got in my car and drove as fast as I could to Damon; I needed him so much right now. I parked the car jumped out and ran into the house, but the sight that met my eyes in the living room made me freeze.
Damon's Point of View
I hadn't been able to find Bella so I went with Rose to meet her friend Slater who could possible put me in touch with Klaus. We met at a little café that had specially tinted windows so Rose and Slater could meet in daylight. We had been going back and forth for a while; I had learned that the moonstone could lift the curse of the sun for all vampires, and there were several sacrifices. Slater was about to come around to my side after I offered him a way to walk in the sun when the glass of the windows broke and everyone started to scramble. Slater disappeared and I grabbed Rose and took her to the underground parking garage.
"It wasn't Slater he wouldn't betray me." She cried.
"Then who?" I asked.
"It's Klaus don't you see; he'll kill us all." She replied.
She looked so helpless that I made her lay down and I drove us back to the boarding house. She cleaned up and started drinking; this whole mess was taking a toll on me. First Bella not showing up and now learning about the moonstone and that there was no way to stop the originals.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard Rose ask as she came up behind me, "I'm sorry that happened today."
"It's not your fault." I said.
"I'm also sorry we can't save Bella; I know you care for her." She said.
"Don't I'll find a way." I said and opened my third bottle of scotch.
Everything was just too much to deal with; I was pissed at Bella for making me forget her and then running off and now I had no idea where she was. I was thoroughly drunk at this point and didn't really care that I was.
"You know if we are going to survive we shouldn't let our emotions overrule us." She said.
"Caring too much will get you killed." I said knowing what she meant.
"So maybe it's time to turn them off." she said.
I was a smartass and said, "I will if you will." And then I looked at her.
The scotch and stress did something to me and by the time I had come to my senses Rose and I had had sex. When we finished I sat up and started pounding my head;
"Damn it." I growled. "How could I do that to her?"
"I'm sorry Damon I don't know what took over me." Rose said as she put her bra back on and then I saw her tense out of the corner of my eye.
I looked in the direction she was and saw Bella standing there; a mix of confusion hurt, and shock in her eyes.
"Bella…." I said cautiously.
She didn't give me a chance to say anything else because she grabbed my hand and I knew I was dead. As quickly as she grabbed it she dropped it and stumbled back holding her chest as she breathed heavily.
"Bella…" I said again trying to touch her, but she retreated.
"How could you?" she asked and her voice told me she was broken.
"Bella I didn't mean…." I said.
She cut me off again, but this time her voice was full of anger and malice, "You didn't mean to is that what you're telling me?" she growled, "So what Damon she just happened to fall on your dick! How could you?"
Stefan and Elena came in at that point;
"What's going on….WHAT THE HELL?" Stefan yelled when he saw me in nothing but my boxers.
"Ask him." Bella said and she ran out the house.
Elena went after her and immediately Stefan had me by the throat, "What is with you Damon, first Katherine, then Elena, now Bella. She was the one good thing and you do this to her."
"Hey we got the call and why is Bella crying?" Jeremy said and then he saw the situation, "YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
By that time everyone else came in and their looks were the same. Stefan threw me into the wall, Anna grabbed Rose and did the same to her and that's when things got worse than I could imagine;
Elena came running in, "Charlie's dead."
A/N: Okay yeah lots of info but no fret what happened with Charlie will be revealed and the next chapter will be up before Dec. 2 (which is when the new episode comes on) so no worries. I will not stop writing. Review!
