The Beginning of The End

Bella's Point of View

I stood in the entry way of my dad's home praying the picture I was sent on my phone wasn't real. Elena had seen it and she ran into the house, but I refused to believe it. Slowly I walked in the dark towards the kitchen and that's when I smelt a mixture of rust and salt. My stomach churned but I kept moving forward and then slipped landing on my back which knocked the air out of me. I gasped trying to get air back into my lungs and I when I felt around I felt a warm liquid all around me. When I finally got my breath I created a glowing orb and there I saw the liquid was red and a sob escaped me. When I looked towards the kitchen there just like in the picture laid my dad. I crawled over to him and held him in my arms.

"NO." I said and cried. "It's gonna be okay Dad I promise." I said as I rocked back and forth, "I'm gonna fix it."

I started to focus my energy, but I felt a something trying to pull me. I could sense it was Bonnie;

"NO." I growled and started fight it while I tried to focus.

Bonnie wouldn't stop and she kept tugging and getting stronger.

"BONNIE LET ME GO!" I screamed knowing she could hear me.

The wind picked up around me and I was being forced away from my father. I clawed trying to fight and hold on, but I was finally ripped away from Dad and when I opened my eyes I was in the living room of the boarding house.

"BELLA." Elena yelled and came over to me.

I stood up and looked at Bonnie, "Why did you drag me back here?" I screamed.

"Because I saw you being taken by vampires." She said as Jake held her up since she was weak from using so much.

"SO!" I yelled, "I was gonna fix it; I was gonna bring him back."

"You couldn't Bella we both know that." She said.

"Then you should have let them take me." I snapped.

"Bella they would have hurt you." Elena said trying to soothe me.

"I don't care." I said.

"Bella.." I heard Damon's voice say.

"Don't you dare." I said looked at him with a murderous glare.

"Come on let's get you cleaned up." Elena said and motioned for Caroline to help her.

"No let me go." I said and struggled in her hold.

"Bella please." She begged.

"No," I said and I couldn't hold it in anymore and I broke down sobbing.

Elena and Caroline supported me as we walked up the stairs. We got to the bathroom and I collapsed on the floor. Elena and Caroline held me as I cried then the bathroom door opened and I was joined by Bonnie and Anna.

"I'm so sorry Bella." Bonnie said as she hugged me. "You know it couldn't be fixed."

"I…..know…." I said between sobs.

"It's gonna be okay; we'll get through this." Anna said.

They sat there hugging my blood covered self as I cried for everything I had just lost.

Damon's Point of View

The girls (minus Rose and Leah) were upstairs with Bella and I could hear her sobbing.

"Don't even think about it." Jake said looking at me.

"Stay out of my way mutt." I growled.

"Haven't you done enough damage?" Jeremy said heading up the stairs.

"Rose I think you need to leave." Stefan said.

"Yeah get out of here before I rip you to shreds." Jake growled.

The doors to the house were thrown open to reveal the Cullen's;

"Alright where is she?" Alice asked. "She is in huge trouble." She looked at us for a moment, "What's going on?"

Edward looked at us for a moment and then froze, "Charlie's dead and Bella is upstairs with the girls crying; she's covered in his blood."

Alice immediately rushed upstairs followed by Esme and surprisingly Rosalie. Edward turned back to us and then looked at Rose. I watched as his face turned from concern to pure rage and I knew it was directed at me. He slowly turned towards me and in a moment had me by the throat; I didn't fight it.

"Edward," Emmett said as he, Jasper, and Carlisle pulled him off.

"HE CHEATED ON BELLA!" Edward snarled.

Emmett and Jasper immediately let him go, but Carlisle kept a hold, "Son don't do this you know this will only hurt Bella."

"Nah let him go; if he doesn't do it I will." Jake said.

Edward calmed down and turned towards the stairs; I watched at the girls and Jeremy came down.

"She's taking a shower." Bonnie said and went to stand by Jake.

"Is she…" I started.

"Is she ok?" Elena snapped at me, "No Damon she's pretty far from fucking okay; her dad is dead, she was covered in his blood and to top it all off the guy she was in love with slept with some vampire that held her captive."

"Elena," Stefan started.

"No," she said interrupting him, "He needs to know that he has just fucked up royally and there is no fixing this. She's broken Stefan; even more so than with Chris. This is different, there's no anger, just utter and complete pain."

"She's right; I can feel it." Jasper said.

"They are gonna pay." Tyler said as Leah rubbed his back.

"Can you tell us what we missed?" Carlisle asked.

We filled them in on Bella's reasons for doing the spell, what had happened since they had left. Elena proceeded to tell us what she and Bella had learned from Katherine.

Caroline stood up and broke her glass, "That Bitch!" she yelled.

"It's not gonna happen." Jake said trying to soothe Bonnie who was looking more drained by hearing she was going to be sacrificed.

"That's right," I heard Bella's voice say and watched as she came down the stairs, "It's not gonna happen."

"How do you suppose we stop them?" Rose asked.

Everyone gave her murderous glares, but Bella spoke calmly, "Because I won't allow it. They need me to do the spell."

"You heard what Katherine said; Klaus will kill everyone you love." Rose countered.

"No he won't because I'm going to deliver a message to him." Bella said and disappeared.

"Why does she keep doing that?" Caroline said stomping her foot.

Bella's Point of View

I had been in the shower when I got hit with a vision and I had decided it was time to send a message. Klaus had just ripped my father away from me and I wasn't going to let him hurt anyone else. Elijah, Klaus' little errand boy, was at a vampire's house and if anyone could get a message to him it was Elijah. I appeared next to the vampire named Slater just as he was dialing Rose;

"I'm not interrupting anything am i?" I asked innocently.

There was a man standing next to Elijah and I knew he was a witch, but what shocked me was I didn't even touch him and I knew he and his son had met Bonnie and he was going to use her.

"You," I said pointing to Dr. Jonas, "I will deal with you in a minute." And I flung him against the wall rendering him unconscious.

"Slater," I said looking at him, "Why don't you go to Rose." Slater immediately ran which left Elijah and I.

"So we meet again; I'm impressed at your powers." Elijah said.

"You haven't seen anything yet." I replied and sat down.

Elijah did the same, "So have you come to give yourself over to us?" he asked.

"No," I said crossing my legs, "I want you to give Klaus a message for me."

Elijah laughed, "And what would that be?"

I focused and flames surrounded Elijah and he tried to escape but I held him in place, "Calm down Elijah if I wanted you engulfed in flames you would be now listen very closely because I am only going to say this once; tell Klaus he just made a mistake by killing my father."

"It was to get your attention." Elijah said staring at the flames.

I let the flames leap out and touch him, "Well now he has it and I want you to tell him if one more person I care about is touched or harmed in anyway shape or form I will make sure that he will never walk in the sun." I focused on Elijah's ring and called for it. "Lovely ring; I think I'll keep it."

I stood to leave, but Elijah called, "You will start a war."

I turned and let the flames grow, "He started to war when he killed my father and now he has unleashed the last thing he ever wanted."

"What's that?" Elijah asked.

"He unleashed the power of a vengeful witch; now leave before the sun rises." I said and he left.

By now Luka's father had stirred and I walked over to him, "You and your son stay away from Bonnie do we understand each other. Klaus has nothing on me and what I can do to you."

He ran from the house and I focused using to be back in my room and Ms. Flowers;

"Bella?" she called.

"Yes Ms. Flowers." I answered.

"Oh dear I hadn't seen you since you left the other night for the party are you alright?" she asked.

"Yes," I said and she left.

I sat on my bed and took a deep breath. Klaus had killed my father and started this war and he wasn't going to win. I knew what I needed to begin his undoing and I grabbed my car keys and headed to the tomb. When I got there I saw Jeremy's car and I hoped to God he was trying to play hero. I ran to the entrance of the tomb and I could hear Katherine taunting him. I started running in the tomb searching for him. By the time I found him Katherine had him by his neck; I focused my energy and she fell to the ground in pain.

"Jeremy get out of here now." I said.

"Bella…" He started, but I cut him off.

"NO get out." I said and sent him out.

I released Katherine and she looked at me, "That wasn't nice." She said standing up.

"It wasn't meant to be." I said as I held out my hand and called for the moonstone.

It immediately appeared in my hand and I turned my back;

"That's mine," Katherine said grabbing my arm.

"No it's not you stupid bitch." I said and flung her against the wall. "This moonstone is mine; it has my family's blood in it and belongs to me. When I'm done with Klaus I'm coming to finish you Katherine."

She was wise enough to stay on the ground and not follow me. Jeremy was waiting for me at the entrance;

"Bella I was…."he started.

"Just trying to help; I know but it was a stupid move." I said as I cradled the moonstone.

"Bonnie says she might be able to unspell the moonstone." He said as we walked out of the tomb.

"No she can't." I said. "I'll talk to you later Jeremy." And I got into my car.

I arrived back at my room and sat down on my bed. I knew what I had to do; I had to look into the moonstone to see how to end all of this. My grandmother's words had haunted me every night these last few weeks;

"To finish what was started we must always go back to the beginning."

I started to breathe deeply as I grabbed the knife; I slid it across my hand ignoring the pain and smell as I let my blood drip over the moonstone. I felt myself leave my body and that's when I opened my eyes….

Damon's Point of View

"You just went into the tomb not thinking!" Elena yelled and smacked Jeremy.

"You're lucky Bella was there." Stefan said.

"She's using too much." Bonnie stated.

"Her body is so weak, but her emotions are determined and set." Jasper stated, "She isn't going to stop."

"Then we have to make her." Edward said slamming his fist and breaking the table.

"Trying to make Bella do something is like trying to change ice into fire; unless you're a witch then it's impossible." Tyler said.

"I'm a witch and even I can't do that." Bonnie mumbled.

"So what do we do?" Jake asked.

"We protect everyone." Carlisle said.

"I don't want protection." Elena said suddenly and our heads snapped in her direction, "Let them take me."

"Elena," Stefan said, "Nothing is going to harm you."

"I don't want to be protected anymore; maybe if they get me it will make them back off for a while." She said.

"No they won't." I said. "Klaus will not stop; did Bella tell you anything?" I asked Jeremy.

"No, she just cradled that moonstone and left." He replied.

"Where could she be?" Caroline asked.

Matt stood up, "Ms. Flowers, the old lady that lives outside of town; she owns a bed and breakfast that's where she has to be."

We all grabbed our coats and headed out the door.

A/N: Okay now there you go; I'm sorry I haven't updated, but I have been very sick. I do have some good news though;

First, the next chapter will go deep into the history of the moonstone and how the whole curse started.

Second, I am extremely happy to announce the trailer for Saving Me is officially up on Youtube and the link is on my profile. I would like to personally thank the person who did this for me akksgurl and she did an amazing job so if you guys would check it out and pm me your comments or just comment in the review that would be awesome I would love to know your take on the trailer.

Third, from here on out the story is going to be intense and deal with raw emotions of hate, pain, and love lost; things I myself am dealing with right now. I won't lie there will be intense times, but as writers you know that what you feel is reflected in your writing and the only way to continue the story is for me to do this. I hope you all will stick with me because up until now things have been simple and easy in the story, but not anymore.

Please Review believe me it will make my days brighter than they have been.
