Elena's POV
-This is war-
A warning to the people,
The good and the evil,
This is war.
To the soldier, the civilian,
The martyr, the victim,
This is war.
She had Jeremy. I was furious. I turned on the spot to leave only to be held back by Damon. "Let go of me Damon! She has my brother! I'll kill her!" I try my best to get away from him but he is much older and stronger than me.
"I know Elena! I know! But you need to feed first to have your strength and we need a plan. We have to be smarter than her Elena!"
He lets me go and walks me towards the kitchen. Stefan and Elijah are already talking about the best place to lead her. Klaus and Caroline are talking about who to send to the house to lure her out. Asher has left to go find more help. Damon and I quickly join in the conversations and after about an hour we have a plan laid out.
Caroline and I head towards the house Caroline said she confronted Tatia at before. I saw the wolf walking in the woods, protecting us but remaining unseen, Tyler. He and Haley had came over with Matt and said they would do whatever we told them had to be done. Things have been tense with them ever since they had turned against us while we were looking for the cure. I had been the one who convinced everyone else to let them help.
As we got closer to the house Tyler came to walk beside me and Haley had come to walk next to Caroline. We stopped right on the edge of the woods, just far enough away that Tatia couldn't hear us, but we could see the house. Haley had shifted back to her human form and walked up to the door. I stayed where I was while Tyler went to right towards the basement and Caroline went left towards the backdoor. Step one was working perfect until I heard someone come up behind me. I whirled around and instantly felt the plan starting to fall apart.
"Jer? You're supposed to be inside. What..."
"Elena! You have to stop them! I tried to fight her but I couldn't. She has, well had Meredith and she fed me Damon's blood."
No. She couldn't, she wouldn't turn him! That's when I saw it, the blood in his eyes. He had completed the transition. "Tyler! Caroline!" I turned and ran towards the house but I was too late. Tyler was currently helping Caroline dodge stake after stake. I looked around for Haley and found her just outside the door, Tatia held her heart in her hand. Tyler looked up at me and I nodded my head. We had to run now, we knew that she would follow. I grabbed Jeremy and Tyler grabbed Caroline by the shirt. We hauled ass towards the quarry and all I could do was pray that Damon and Klaus were ready.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left,
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
We ran quickly from the house but we were met with more obstacles than we had expected. We knew she'd have people to fight with her but we were stopped a short ways into the woods by at least 10 vampires. She'd been expecting us, she had made an army, and she wasn't going to stop until we were all dead. This had been the move she had wrote about, not taking Jeremy, but this...her army. I whirled back around but there were more coming from behind us. We were surrounded. I saw Tyler and Caroline exchange one glance and they both lunged forward. Jeremy tensed next to me, I only had one option left I had to let him fight with us. I handed him the stake that was in my back pocket and nodded at him.
With my fangs barred , fueled by an amount of rage I'd never felt before I lunged at the vampires behind us. I hadn't fought this many vampires before but I'd been trained by Damon and Ric. I let their words come back to. I quickly grabbed one by the neck and ripped with all my might. His head went flying and I felt arms lock around mine. I kicked my attacker in the knee, while grabbing his arms and pulling. His arms came off easily and he was on his knees in a heartbeat. I sank my hand into his chest and sent his heart flying behind me.
Jeremy was holding his own against the vampires and I couldn't help but feel proud of him. In a matter of minutes we'd managed to dismember, stake, and kill every vampire that came at us. I grabbed my lighter as Tyler, Caroline, and Jeremy put every body part and heart in a pile, I tossed it and the bodies quickly burned. We continued to run towards the quarry, in a matter of minutes we were standing in one of the circles Bonnie had drawn in the dirt. The flames came up and we knew we were protected. Damon and Klaus were waiting in the woods behind us armed with crossbows and stakes. Stefan along with Elijah, Asher and Matt were waiting deeper in the woods armed with grenades and stakes of their, own. Now we just had to wait for Tatia to arrive. Luckily, the wait wasn't long.
A warning to the prophet,
The liar, the honest,
This is war.
To the leader, the pariah,
The victor, the messiah,
This is war.
She stepped into the clearing but she wasn't alone. "Matt!" I lunged forward only to be shot backwards by the flames.
"Break the witches protection spell, NOW!" Her eyes never left mine as she spoke to her witch.
I briefly met Bonnie's gaze and shook my head. Step two was working as we'd hoped except she wasn't supposed to have Matt. I leaned back on my feet and was in a crouching position within seconds. Once the fire went down I lunged for Matt. I grabbed his arm and I heard his shoulder dislocate. I threw him behind me and heard the thud as he hit the tree. I didn't see the wolves heading for me until it was too late. I felt the bite on my arm. I was suddenly hit very hard in my side and went flying across the clearing. Tyler had come and pushed me out of the way, but he was fighting a losing battle. The 3 wolves quickly overpowered him and he was gone.
I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and felt the blood being forced through my lives. "Drink now Elena!" Klaus. Once I'd had enough to heal the bite we both took off towards the clearing. More vampires had shown up and it looked like a horrible nightmare. We were losing. She was one step ahead of us again. I knew we had to abandon the plans we made and just fight until either she was dead or we all were. Damon was currently struggling to pull vampires off of Jeremy. Caroline was dodging werewolves left and right. Bonnie was locked in a battle with Arthur. I looked around when I heard Matt scream. Tatia had thrown Matt right into a group of vampires.
I ran and lunged to get him out. There was so much blood everywhere. I grabbed vampire after vampire and ripped their heads off. One got a hold of me and I couldn't shake him. I could feel him bite me and I felt the blood being drained from my body. I couldn't fight back and I could no longer protect Matt. My legs were being pinned down and my arms were being clawed at. I couldn't yell out for help. I stopped fighting for a minute and tried to gather all my strength to buck the vampire off but I was unsuccessful again. I knew I was going to die, there was nothing I could do. I heard the voice before I registered who it came from, "Stronzo! Scendere mia sorella!" Stefan!
The vampire was thrown off of me and Damon collided with him in midair. Damon rips his heart out and falls to the ground. I look around and I suddenly don't want to fight anymore. Klaus had grabbed Caroline and ran deeper into the forest. Stefan followed suit with Jeremy. Matt was dead, and Elijah just had his heart ripped out by Tatia. Damon had grabbed me and flung me into the trees just as a stake collided with the tree behind me. "Run Elena! For fucks sake RUN!" I turn and run deeper into the woods. Damon picks up the stake and follows me.
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
I don't stop running until I no longer hear Damon behind me. I can hear Klaus and Caroline fighting their own battle and I can hear Jeremy yelling for me. I'm flung the ground and I feel my arm about to be pulled off when Stefan comes to my rescue again. He tackles Tatia to the ground and is staked in his arm and flung into a tree. I pick up a tree branch and lunge for her heart but she grabs it from me and I find the branch in my leg. I growl at her as I rip it out and lunge again. This time she grabs the stake and aims it for my heart but I'm pushed out of the way by one last time by Stefan. "NO!" I scream as I see the stake pierce his heart. With his last breath he looks at me and yells,"Run Elena!"
With tears in my eyes I turn and run as fast as I can away. We underestimated her. We've lost so many people. Haley, Tyler, Matt, and Stefan. I ran into Jeremy and we both landed on the ground. I quickly grabbed his hand and continued to run. I could hear her catching up to us. "Jer, you have run. You have to leave okay? Get out of the woods and go somewhere safe!" I drop his hand and turn and run back towards Tatia.
I collide with her and sink my fangs into her throat. I hook my hands into claws and start clawing her arms. She regains the upper hand quickly and throws me off.
"That was a bitch move Elena!"
She lunges at me and I quickly kick her chest and send her flying into a tree. I brace myself for her impact but I feel the stake pierce my right leg and she breaks it off. I growl at her and grab her arm and pull. It comes off easily, I lean back on my feet ready to spring at her again but I'm knocked off balance by..."Jeremy! No!"
I try to grab him but she grabs his throat and throws him at least 50 feet away to my right. She quickly picks up the tree branch she used to stab my leg and pounces me again. I'm taken by surprise and I can feel the tip of the branch scrape against my heart. I grab her wrists and try to stop her but I'm not strong enough. She's going to kill me.
"There can only be one doppelganger Elena Gilbert. I'm faster, stronger, and older than you little girl. You never stood a chance!"
She's cut off when a stake hits her shoulder. "You may be older and stronger you bitch but she has one thing you never will." Damon, he's here. He comes and pounces on her. He grabs the stake from hear shoulder and holds it over her heart, "She has me and I WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE HER!" He starts to push the stake but she grabs his wrist and flips him over and is now on top of him.
"And you are the crazy impulsive DEAD vampire!"
I lunge forward, "Damon! No!" I'm too late. She pushes the stake and it pierces his heart. I run to him and take his body in my arms. "Damon, no! I love you! Don't leave me please!" I beg him but I can see as he starts to turn gray and slips further away from me. He looks me in my eyes and I can see he's crying.
"I love you Elena." He's gone.
I can't do this without him. I can't be without Damon. But I won't let him have died for nothing. I grab the stake from his heart and flip the switch. "Tatia you'll die for this!"
I don't care who I have to kill, I will kill Tatia. With my humanity shut off, I feel nothing. Nothing but the desire to hunt the one vampire who killed my Damon. I let the monster take over and take off after her. I see the witch Bonnie is still fighting with and I sink my fangs into his neck and bleed him dry. I push Bonnie out of my way and hear her hit a tree with a thud. I hear her arm break but I don't care. She's just a stupid human who is in the way of me getting the revenge I need.
I find Tatia's scent again and start heading north, she's running out of town. I won't let her leave. I barely remember pushing Klaus and Caroline out of my way as they try to stop me. I find her at the edge of the woods near the road and I throw my stake hard. It hits her in the back of the knee and she drops instantly. I run up and grab it, I rip her arms off and pin her legs underneath me. "You bitch!" I stab her everywhere I can reach, purposely avoiding her heart. She deserves to suffer a slow and painful death. For turning my brother into a monster. For Tyler. For Haley. For Elijah. For Matt. For Stefan. And for Damon.
"Elena."
I snap my head up and look at Jeremy. He lays Damon on the ground and with hands held up he starts to approach me. I see Klaus, Caroline, and Bonnie behind him.
"Damon's here." The switch flips back on.
I shake my head and with tears in my eyes tell him, "Damon's dead. She fucking killed him!" I try to flip the switch again but it won't budge.
"I know." He's on his knees next to me. "I know Lena. But he's here. He wants you to know he loves you and you aren't meant to be this person. He wants you to keep your feelings with you Lena."
I look up at him and I can see the tears in his eyes. I nod my head and turn back to Tatia.
"This is for Damon." I say the words as I clench my teeth together and drive the stake as hard as I can into her heart.
Jeremy's arms are instantly around me and I sob uncontrollably into his chest. He's all I have left. Damon is gone and nothing can bring him back this time. I slowly stand up only to fall to my knees again. Jeremy picks me up and sets me down next to Damon.
I grab onto his shirt and continue to feel every ounce of pain, and heartbreak. I should have done something. I should have tried to save him. Damon is dead and it's all because of me. He died to save me. I know what I have to do. With the last bit of strength I have I grab the stake from Jeremy's back pocket and position it over my heart. "I can't be without you Damon." I try to push it in but I can't. It's like someone is pulling it from the other direction.
"Lena stop! Damon's still here!" I ignore Jeremy. Damon's gone. I need to be with him. I need to be able to see him. All of a sudden the stake is pulled from my hands and flung across the road. I find myself lying on my back with Jeremy on top of me. "I know what you're feeling Lena! I feel it too okay! I didn't want him to die either. He was like my brother but I won't let you kill yourself. I need you Lena. Let me be here for you." I stop trying to fight him and I just nod.
He holds me against his chest and we both sob. Bonnie walks up and bends down next to us. "I think there might be a way to bring him back." I pull back from Jeremy and look up at her. Bring him back? You can't reverse death...can you?
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
The war is won.
If you're wondering what Stefan said in Italian before he threw the vampire off Elena here is the translation. "Asshole! Get off my sister!"
