I don't own the vampire diaries and I don't own the characters.
This takes place after they find the cure and do the spell on Elena. I'm not sure if I'll continue it but I've had it stuck in my head for a while so why not give it a shot?
The main POV's will be Damon, Elena, and Stefan. You might get it from Jeremy or Caroline every now and then.
Enjoy.
Feedback is appreciated.
Jeremy's POV
Damnit! Elena's gone. I should have come here first last night. Matt is no help, he didn't see who knocked him out. Damon's out near the lake house with Stefan and God only knows what is going on there. My sister is gone, I have to do something. I have to find her.
"Bonnie can't you do that tracking spell again?"
"She's not human anymore. It won't work."
This has been her answer for the past half hour. I'm pacing at the boarding house. Where is Damon? There has to be some kind of spell out there to find a vampire. If only we could talk to some more experienced witches, or someone who has talked to them. "That's it! God, why didn't I think of this before?!"
"Jeremy? What's wrong?" Bonnie is still looking for an answer in one of those 50 grimoires she has.
"We need to find Elena. I could ask my dad. Surely he has talked to your grams or someone on the other side; he might be able to help Bonnie."
She nods. "It's worth a shot. I'll keep looking."
I roll my eyes, stubborn just like Elena. I sit on the couch and close my eyes. I can picture my dad, his brown hair and brown eyes, his dress shirt and pants with those ugly brown loafers. His smile, I miss him, even though I thought he was a boring old man, I still love him and I miss him a lot. "Well son those ugly loafers cost $35."
"Dad!" It worked. He's here. I need to get to the point fast. "I'm in trouble, well not me but Elena is, and Damon!"
"Yes I know. I've been watching. Damon has it under control, he's a damn good fighter I'll give him that."
"Yeah I know. He trained me when I became a hunter. We need to find Elena. Bonnie can't find a spell to use to track her location. Can you talk to her Grams and see if she knows anything?"
"I already have. She told me to have you tell her she already knows."
What the hell? I look at Bonnie. "YOU ALREADY KNOW BONNIE AND YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME!"
"I have no clue what you're talking about Jeremy. Ask your dad what I'm supposed to know because I DON'T KNOW!"
"The bond, son. The soulmate bond. Damon can find her." I stare at him in disbelief. She had explained the bond to me last night a little bit. She told me basically that they were drawn to each other and understand each other on a level no one else ever will, basically they were meant to be together.
"Bonnie. The bond. Can Damon find Elena using the bond?"
She looks up at me puzzled. "No. Not unless they've…oh my God." She jumps up. "Mr. Gilbert. You can see things we can't, have they bonded themselves to each other?" She's talking to my dad, weird since she can't see him.
"Yes." With that one word my dad is gone. Bonnie is staring at me.
"He said yes. Bonnie what's that mean? How can they bond themselves to each other?" Do I really want to know, not really. But, since we are currently trying to locate my sister I think I have a right to know.
"This changes things." She's pacing in front of the fire place. "Remember when Damon got bit by Tyler and went all crazy? He fed off Elena in his hallucinated state of mind." I nod my head, where is she going with this. "Well since the soulmate bond was already there they were already bonded, not to mention they loved each other way back then. Well that was, for lack of better wording, step one. Now, remember after Elena turned and Damon fed her his blood to try and help her?" I nod, Elena briefly told me about that. Still I don't see the point. "Well that was step two."
"Bonnie what's this got to do with anything? I don't get the point…"
"Stefan and Damon both told her that blood sharing is personal and it is. But for a vampire to bond to another vampire, a blood bond, that's never happened, well except once. In order for the blood bond to take…effect, for lack of words, the soulmate bond has to be there. Kind of like a foundation when you build a house. But back to the point, they both already had each other's blood in their veins, they were already bonding to each other, and I think that's one reason why the sire bond was stronger than any other sire bond in vampire history. They completed it though. I have no clue when but they bonded to each other. He can find her." She is still pacing but now she is smiling.
I'm still confused. "Bonnie, I don't get it. How did they complete the bond?"
"They fed off each other at the same time. Vampire usually only do that with their mates but it never bonds them together, like I said the soulmate bond has to be there for the blood bond to be there."
I stare at her. They did what? That's a little weird even for me, and I can see ghosts for Christ's sake! At that moment I hear the car pull in the driveway. I turn around as Damon kicks open the door.
"Shut up Stefan! You're phone is long gone and I don't care what you say you're going in the basement." Stefan is struggling to get out of his brothers grasp.
"Damon, I won't hurt you. Let me help find Elena, please."
"Hell no. You did try to kill me and you've been compelled. So until I kill the vampire that did this to you the basement is your new home."
Damon disappears as he vamps Stefan down towards the basement. He's back in 2 minutes and I can't help but go hug him. Why the hell I want to hug him I'm not completely sure, but I am definitely hugging him.
"Okay toddler. Get off me and let's find your sister. Witchy you better have a spell ready or something."
I answer him. "You can find her. You have the soulmate bond with her and you're blood bonded to her. You can find her Damon!" He looks at me like I'm crazy. Maybe I am. I don't care at this point.
"My what bond with her? And what the hell is a blood bond? Witchy, explain."
Bonnie starts to explain it to Damon and quite frankly he looks as dumbfounded and shocked as I was. That's when I realize that if 150 year old Damon didn't know about this, is it really that rare?
Caroline's POV
I've been watching Bonnie for days, which now lead me to the boardinghouse where I kept hidden outside in the trees. I could hear them, Elena was gone and they were trying to find her. I knew that they couldn't; there was no way they could find her. She has her hidden very well. I turn around in shock when I hear a car pull up.
"Damon please don't do this. I will help you. We can find Elena. I didn't mean to try and kill you." Stefan failed.
"Nice try Stefan. You're compelled and weak, you can't fight it and I don't necessarily want to die."
Damon wasn't supposed to come back. My attention then turned to inside where I heard yelling. Bonnie knew of a way to find Elena, I couldn't let that happen. But wait, Elena is my friend I should be in there helping them, ugh I can't though. She'll kill me, she told me that, "If anyone finds Elena before I want them to I will kill you Caroline." damnit! Wait, a soulmate bond? What the hell is that? It seems to be the key to everything so I turn and leave.
I'm far enough away from the house so I now pull out my cell phone. I hear it ring 5 times and then she picks up.
"Caroline? Is there a problem?"
No, I should say. I shouldn't tell her what I just heard, but I don't want to fucking die. "Yes. Stefan failed. Damon is back and they know how to find Elena. Something about a soulmate bond." I hear her growl and curse for what seems like forever. I should hang up. "You're not going to hurt Elena are you? I mean she's still my friend…"
"Caroline shut up." She says the words and I suddenly can't talk anymore. "Listen to me carefully. Forget you called me and go to the Salvatore's. Do whatever it takes but get Stefan out of the house and meet me in the woods. I will have Elena and we will go from there. Do you understand?"
No, hell no. "I understand, do whatever it takes to get Stefan to come with me." Why did I just say that? Who was I talking to? It must have been my mom.
I walk towards the boardinghouse and I can hear them talking. I knock on the door and Matt opens it. "Caroline?"
"I need to talk to Stefan." I'm here for him. We need to leave.
"He's busy." Matt tries to close the door but I stop him.
"Matt, I need to talk to Stefan. Now." I push him away and he lands with a thud 6 feet away.
I am suddenly surrounded. It's Damon I notice first. I can't let him get to me; he will try and hurt me. I grab Jeremy and put my arms around his neck, this freezes Damon. I know he won't let Jeremy get hurt. Why do I want to hurt Jeremy? I don't, but I need Stefan, and I have to do whatever is necessary to get to him. "I'll kill him Damon. I will." He's looking me in the eyes. I don't like it; he can see a lot when he looks at my eyes.
"No you won't Caroline. I know you won't. I'll take you to Stefan, just let Jeremy go."
I did it. I succeeded; he's taking me to Stefan. I let go of Jeremy and follow Damon towards the basement. "Thank you Damon. I really needed to talk to Stefan." He stops walking and turns sideways.
"He's right in there." He points towards the cell so I walk past him to get to the door.
"Stefan…" I open the door and I'm in pain. "Ah! What the hell?!"
"I'm sorry Caroline. I can't let you and Stefan be out around town when you're compelled." Damon. He vervained me.
I'm thrown into the cell and the door slams shut. This is not how it's supposed to go. Stefan and I are supposed to leave. I can't be under compulsion, can I? I start pacing the cell; Stefan is out cold on the cot in the corner. I failed. She will kill me. I can't die, I can't. I don't want too.
Elena's POV
Where am I? "Elena." I'm dead; I have to be, because I should not be hearing that voice right now. "Elena, wake up. She wants to help you but you have to wake up sweetheart." My mom. She wants me to wake up. Who is with me? Who wants to help me? I guess I must be starting to wake because I can hear new voices.
"Go upstairs and keep an eye out will you Travis!" I don't recognize that man's voice. Who is he and why would he want to help me?
"Asher, I need your help. The ropes are vervained, I can't touch them." Katherine. Memories come back. Matt was in the kitchen, someone was in my house, someone attacked me, and then I saw Katherine.
"Okay. I'll get them. She needs to wake up Kathy. Those witches won't be out for long." That man, Asher. He's a friend of Katherine's.
"I'm trying Asher. Come on Elena. Wake up, I'll get you back to Damon but you have to wake up. Come on girl! You're a fucking Petrova, wake your ass up!" I feel her slap me. I hear the growl that escapes my throat and then I open my eyes.
"Katherine. Why the hell did you attack me, and why are you letting me go?" It was her wasn't it?
"Well glad to see tough love still works on you. Listen we don't have a lot of time." She grabs me and pulls me as she sits down in the chair I was just in. What is she doing? "Tie me up Asher, quickly. Listen, Elena. Asher will take you back to town. He and Travis will get you there safely, no one will hurt you. When you get there, don't go anywhere. We want her to think I'm you okay? Are you following me?" She's taking my place, but why?
"What the hell Katherine? You hate me. And who is 'she', who took me from my house? I won't go with Asher or Travis I don't know them! Are you crazy?!"
She shakes her head. "Be quiet Elena. I'm doing this because this is what I do. I told you when I was in the tomb, I protect my family. Yes Elena, that means you. As for who took you, well she looks like us, but she's a bitch who needs to die. Asher and Travis will protect you." She hides a laugh. "You may find that Asher looks a great deal like someone you already know and love very much. So yes, you'll go with him. Now doppelganger, get out of here!" She kicks at my leg and I head to the stairs.
She's right, she did tell me that. She protects her family no matter what, just like me. I wait for this guy, Asher, who is supposed to come with me. I see him stand up and I have to grip the rail to keep from falling. "Damon?" This has to be a joke. That's Damon. I'd know him anywhere. Those blue eyes that are so gorgeous, I've lost myself in them more than once. The black hair, that's very soft but it doesn't look like it'd be soft.
"No. I'm Asher. Asher Montgomery." He holds out his hand. He's not Damon; his voice alone is very different. It's an octave higher. Now that I look more at his eyes, they aren't as blue as Damon's; I can see the green tint to them. But he looks, exactly like Damon that's impossible.
"Guess we aren't the only doppelgangers huh Elena?" Katherine. I'd all but forgotten her.
"It's impossible." I shake his hand and it feels nothing like Damon's. "He can't have a doppelganger. They only come around every…"
"150 years, yeah I know. Asher is the 3rd doppelganger, like you. But he will explain it all. GO!"
Asher starts walking quickly up the stairs and I can't help but follow. Damon has a doppelganger, wait she said 3rd does that mean Damon is a doppelganger? No, it can't be. He would know if he was, wouldn't he? We get upstairs and I can see where we are, the same house Rose kept me in when she took me to hand me over to Elijah. There's a werewolf there. I stop and tense up.
"It's okay Elena. That's Travis. He won't hurt you." Asher. He seems trustworthy so I just nod my head, I don't go any closer. The wolf doesn't transform into a human but instead surprises me completely. He comes up and picks me up so I'm on his back. Asher is laughing. "He senses that you're hungry and a bit weak. He's going to carry you so we can make it out before she gets back and notices anyone was here." That seems…nice. Strange considering werewolves hate vampire but it's nice.
"How will you keep up Asher? You're human, right?" He laughs again.
"Yes I am. But I'll have no problem keeping up. I'm stronger and faster than your normal human." I can feel the wolf laugh underneath me. He starts to run so I grab his hair so I don't fall off, he doesn't seem to care.
We are flying through the woods and Asher was right, he never loses us. They stop after 10 minutes when we reach a car. The wolf sets me down and goes back into the woods. Asher opens the backdoor for me and I get in. I see a boy emerge from the woods, he has blonde hair that is cut kind of like Stefan's, he's got green eyes and he looks very strong. He gets in the passenger seat as Asher gets in the driver's seat.
"Hi, Elena. I'm Travis." He turns around and holds out his hand. "I won't bite. I have nothing against vampires." I laugh and shake his hand.
"Hi, Travis. You're the first werewolf I've met who would carry a vampire through the woods without wanting to bite them."
"Yeah well I've always gone against the crowd. I like being unique. So, ready to go home and see…what was his name?" It's Asher who answers.
"Damon. Damon Salvatore. Her boyfriend Travis so quit flirting and turn around." I shoot him a thankful look in the rearview mirror.
Well at least I know one thing for sure. I have two new friends who I can trust, a vampire doppelganger who took my place, and at least an hour ride to figure out how I'm going to explain this all to Damon. This should be interesting.
This will definitely be something I want to capture on video, I wonder if Damon would let me.
