Chapter 7

Elena's heart almost stopped.

"What?"

"You heard me. And Klaus wants you to come here, tell you what Damon has been doing."

"Stefan, he is your brother! Can't you at list pretend that you love him as family and save him?" She said, but the cell phone had been turned off on the other end.

Just when she was about to turn it off and have an anger attack, Stefan came through the window and was standing in front of her.

"Klaus told me to come and pick you up, you know, in case you don't want to come by yourself" He said, giving her the same stupid smirk he did every since he had gone bad.

Normally, she would be glad he was there just because she could see him again, apologize for kissing Damon and then feel pity of him for being compelled, but not today. Not after Damon told her that Klaus' compulsion couldn't make him hurt Damon or even let anyone else do so.

Today, months after she last saw him, a moment that in her mind would be perfect, she couldn't be more wrong. She felt pure hate because he was obeying Klaus for really wanting Damon to be hurt. She was fighting herself not to slap him, here and now.

Knowing she couldn't do anything about it, she just looked at Bonnie who was long out and held herself on Stefan's arms, so he could run. And so he did, taking her to wherever Damon was.

He stopped running only a few seconds later and let go of her. She feels dizzy, but her worries about Damon are much stronger.

She states that they are on a dark place that seems to be a basement. When she walks, one of the lights is turned on and she can see Klaus, sitting on a chair that seems like a throne with the same stupid smirk Stefan had on his face.

She realizes that this can all be a trap, but her thoughts are completely focused on finding and rescuing Damon to care and besides, Klaus wouldn't hurt her. Not while he still needs her blood to create hybrids.

"There she is! my sweet doppelganger!" Klaus greeted her.

"Where. Is. Damon?" She snapped angrily.

"The serial killer? He is right there!" He said, pointing his finger to a dark place of the room and the lights are turned up, revealing a cage.

What Elena sees inside the cage, makes her heart almost stop; Blood everywhere is the first thing she states. She searches with her eyes very slowly, as if afraid of what she is going to see when she sees him. But then she does and immediately wants to throw up.

Damon is there, a stake on his chest, way to close from his heart and his skin is completely sun burned. He isn't awake, but is breathing heavily, as if every breath hurt him a lot.

"Damon!" She wants to scream, but she doesn't. Waking him up will only cause him more pain and hurting him even more is the last thing she wants, but she runs to the side of the cage he is, unable to touch him.

Why did Klaus do something like that with him? And why was Stefan helping? They are brothers! They are supposed to look out for each other, not kill each other. This isn't fair. She starts to cry and then turns to Klaus

"Why are you doing this? What did he do to you?" She asked, frustrated, eyes still full of tears.

"Damon killed Rebekah" Klaus stated, not letting anything hide his anger.

"What?" Elena asked, seeming surprised.

Damon killed Rebekah? No, there was no way he could have done that! First because he couldn't have killed an original by himself and second because she had asked Bonnie to keep an eye on him during the time they were fighting and she told her he had always been drinking with Alaric or home. Could Bonnie have helped Damon to kill an original behind her back?

"No, he didn't!" She exclaimed

"Really? But who had the white oak stakes after Stefan left?"

"Damon did, but this means nothing! Someone could have stolen it from him and killed her!" Elena tried desperately to find another way of explaining Rebekah's death.

"If is that so, then why did it all happen in the Salvatore mansion?" He asked, smiling as if he had won.

"What if I can prove he didn't do it?" Elena almost begged and Klaus seemed to consider.

"If you can actually prove he didn't do it, what he did, both Salvatore brothers are free to go. If you can't..." He dies. Was what he was going to say. Elena nodded.

"Fine. How much time do we have?" Klaus didn't answer. He stood up and ran to the nearest wall, hitting on it. At first she didn't understand, but then the electronic clock that was on the wall started to shine with a number. 48 hours.

"You have two days. If you don't give me something that can prove that Damon didn't do it by then, he is dead." He said, pointing to Damon.

"Now go, time is running" He said, giving an evil laugh.

Before leaving, Elena glanced at Stefan, who was kneeling in front of her. A glance that could only mean that the Stefan she knew and loved was gone forever.
