~ I actually put more putting into than I had planned. When I was watching Thursdays' episode I had and idea on where to put Chelsea into it. Now the thing is just writing from now to then with making it work.
~ This chapter starts with a flashback. It occurs right where the original story left off. It's something that I think fits the beginning of the story.
~ I know when what happens in the episode, but I'm going to be tweaking it a bit so I can write it how I have planned.
~ One thing before I let you read the chapter... How come there wasn't any reviews on the last chapter? I know it wasn't my best chapter but you could tell me what I could do better, or what parts you liked. Please, keep that in mind.
ENJOY!
~Flashback~
General POV
Anna was looking at Chelsea's body on the porch swing where she had moved it to. She was waiting for Chelsea to come back after Damon had killed her. Anna couldn't help but worry. 'When is she going to wake up?'
"What happened?" Chelsea's mom hurried to Chelsea's body. She turned her head to Anna, "Is she going to be okay?" Anna didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't exactly know herself.
"Someone came over and wanted to talk to Chelsea. They talked for a moment before Chelsea came back inside. She must have felt that something bad was going to happen, so she asked for some of my blood." Chelsea's mom looked at Anna in slight surprise. "I let her have some from my finger," Anna held up her finger. ", and then she went back onto the porch. They talked for a little bit and then he snapped her neck." Anna looked at Chelsea. "I waited until he was gone before going outside and calling you about it. I moved her on the bench," Anna looked at Chelsea's mom, "she's going to need something to walk in the sun and to be invited in again."
They both looked at Chelsea when she made a gasp for air. Chelsea's mom and Anna looked relieved. Chelsea hugged her mom and then looked at Anna. "Am I?" She asked. Anna shook her head.
"Not yet. You'll need human blood or you will die." Chelsea looked at her mom. Chelsea's mom thought for a moment before looking at Anna. "Can you pull her away if she gets too crazy" Chelsea looked at her mom with slight confusion.
"No." Chelsea said quietly to her mom. "Not from you." She said. Her mom looked back at her.
"It's better than some random person on the street." She took a deep breath. "I trust you Chelsea," She smiled at her daughter. "You're my daughter, no matter what you are." Chelsea smiled at her mom. Her mom held out her wrist and Chelsea held it with her hand. Chelsea took a deep breath, hesitating for a minute before biting into her mom's wrist.
~End Flashback~
Chelsea's POV
I laid in my bed with my eyes closed. My body felt asleep but my mind wasn't. I couldn't help but think what happened last night. Damon looked upset that I didn't tell him about the compulsion until yesterday, but Damon could get upset over the little things. I took a deep breath before slowly opened my eyes. I felt something by my leg so I moved my head in and my eyes went wide.
"Mom." I said in a whisper. She sat by my legs, smiling at me.
"Hello Chelsea." I moved into a sitting position, looking at her.
"How did you get in?" I asked. I couldn't help but be curious.
"I was here since you got back." I looked at my mother with a confused look on my face. "I have to tell you something, that you might not want to here, but you have to hear it." There was a flicker of sadness in her eyes before I nodded my head. My mom took a deep breath, "Your father and I are," She took a pause, "we both are dead." As my eyes went wide in disbelief, I gasped.
"Wha…?" I was confused, "What do you mean dead? Like a vampire?" I looked at her. She slightly shook her head.
"It happened after you left Mystic Falls."
"How did you know I left?"
"A mom has her ways." My mom slightly smiled. "It helps when you're a witch. Long story short, Katherine came over and told your father and I that you left with Stefan and Klaus to get the cure for Damon's werewolf bite."
"Oh." I said in slight disbelief. There was a pause between us. "How did you?...uh…"
My mom looked at my hand and then looked at me. "There are things you should know." I looked at my mom. "After you left, your father and I got into an accident. It was horrible and we didn't survive." Tears were starting to form in my eyes.
"How are you here if you're not a vampire? If you didn't survive then how can you be here?" My mom moved closer to me and gently held my hand.
My mom took a sigh before she started to speak. "There is this place, where spirits who aren't at rest go."
"Like purgatory?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Something like that. I came back, with some help, to tell you. Not just about your father and I, but about Klaus, and Anna."
"What about Anna?" My mom rubbed her thumb on the back of my hand, but I couldn't feel it.
"She got staked." My eyes went wider than they were before.
"What? By who?"
"Something is going to happen, Chelsea. I can feel it. Soon you will be able to ask Anna yourself." She did her best to give a comforting smile. "Just be careful Chelsea. I have a feeling that what has happened is just the beginning."
We sat there for a moment. I didn't know what to say. I just found out after my second day back that my best friend and my parents are dead.
"Didn't you say that you had something to say about Klaus?" I asked my mom in realization.
"In the other side, there is someone of great power and knowledge. She is one of the most powerful witches I have met over there."
"The Original witch?" I couldn't help but ask, before my mom could even continue. My mom nodded.
"She says that Klaus has been existing for over a thousand years and that you have to be careful around him." My mom moved her head as if she heard something. "Damon does love you." She said before turning her head towards me again. "Even at times if it doesn't seem like it." I couldn't help but slightly smile. I watched as she stood up from my bed. "Where are you going?" I asked as I stood up beside her.
My mom looked at me and said, "I can't stay." She said sadly, "The Original witch only could get me a little time with you." The tears were starting to form in my eyes again. "There is so much you need to know, but you'll find out."
"Don't go." I tried to plead with her.
"I have to Chelsea." She held my hand. "If you ever need me, all you have to do is meditate and connect with nature. You'll hear me." My mom said with a smile at the end. I couldn't help but rush against her to give her a hug.
"I love you mom." I said, letting the tears fall freely.
"I love to Chelsea." She said, gently rubbing my head. I sniffled and slowly stood back from her. She smiled at me and the next thing I knew, she vanished.
I let out a breath of air as I wiped away my tears.
I walked into the Grill with talking to Damon in mind. You think he would have told me about Anna and not to mention my parents. 'Why didn't he tell me?' I accidently bumped into someone while I was distracted by my thoughts.
"Oh, sorry." I said before looking up. My eyes went wide when I saw who was standing in front of me. "Lexi?" She smiled at me. "You're here to?"
"Obviously."
"Why?"
"Stefan's off the rails." 'That's true' "I'm going to help Elena by showing how to help him." Lexi turned her head behind me, "Speaking of Elena." Lexi stepped to the side and I turned around to face in the same direction.
"Looks like today was a good day to be thinking about me, Elena." Elena looked at Lexi in surprise.
"Lexi?"
"Mm-hmm."
"She's here to help." I said to Elena. Elena looked at me with a slight surprised look on her face. "You don't want Stefan to be under the compulsion that Klaus put on him forever, do you?"
"How are you not surprised by Lexi being back?" Elena asked me.
"Because I saw my mom this morning." I told Elena while trying to remain calm. Surprised appeared, again, on Elena's face. I swear I could also see slight guilt. "Did you know my parent's died?" Elena looked at me and didn't say anything. "Thought so." I said quietly even though Elena didn't say anything. I turned to Lexi. "I hope you get Stefan better." I said with a slight smile before walking away.
I saw Damon at the bar with Alaric. There was another person, but I couldn't really tell who it was from the back. I walked straight to them hoping I could find out why they didn't tell me about my parent's death.
"Let's get to it. I killed you. You want revenge. Get in line." Damon said to the person next to them.
"There's a line for that now?" I couldn't help but ask out loud. I turned to see who the other person was. "Oh, it's only Mason." I said with a small smile on my face that disappeared when I turned to Damon.
"Only Mason?" Damon asked me. "That's your response when you see his ghost?"
"It's not like it's the only one I've seen today." I said, trying not to sound mad or sad.
"I'm not here for revenge." Mason interrupted out banter. I turned my head towards him to listen to what he has to say. "I want an apology." Alaric laughed.
"Good luck with that." Alaric said to Mason.
"Don't you have a family to haunt?" I couldn't help but feel sad for a little bit. My mom came back to visit and I didn't even know she was dead. "You know your nephew has turned into a mindless hybrid minion."
"That's why I'm here, to help Tyler." Mason looked between Damon and I.
"Well, sorry to break it to you, buddy, but Tyler can't be helped. At least not while Klaus is alive." Damon said in a 'matter of fact' tone. "Which is, like, always….."
"Impossible." I finished for him.
"Not necessarily." I looked at Mason with a slightly confused look. "Not if you found a weapon that could kill him."
"There is no weapon that can kill him." I said.
"What do you know?" Damon popped up towards Mason.
"I know you need to apologize." Mason said to Damon. I couldn't help but chuckle and roll my eyes. 'Good think Damon couldn't see that.' I thought.
"You got to be kidding me." Damon said with a slightly pissed of tone to his voice.
"Are you incapable of remorse?" Alaric angrily asked Damon. "Just apologize!"
"You're right." Damon started to say stubbornly. "I didn't have to kill you. I do a lot of things I don't have to do." I turned my head toward Damon. I could tell he didn't mean it, but I couldn't help but think about what he just said. Damon looked at me. 'Is that sadness in his eyes?' I asked myself. We brought our attention back to Mason when we heard him chuckle.
"That's good enough." Mason said as he slid off the stool he was sitting on. "Meet me at the old Lockwood cellar. Bring a shovel." He said before looking between Damon and I. "You can bring her if you want." Mason said to Damon. "But nobody else."
"What, you're going to bury us alive?
Mason just stared at Damon. "Don't tempt me." He said to Damon before walking away.
I turned to face Damon. "We need to talk." I said to Damon while doing my best to stay calm. Damon looked into my eyes and must have sense something. "Okay." He said. Damon turned to Alaric before he got off of his stool. I nodded at Alaric before following Damon out of the Grill.
"Did you know my parents died?" I asked Damon almost as soon as we got out of the Grill. We walked a little bit away from the Grill before Damon stopped and turned to me.
"How did you find out?" Damon asked me with a confused, surprised and worried tone.
"So you knew." I said before taking a deep breath. "Why didn't you tell me?" I looked into Damon's eyes with tears threatening to spill out my eyes.
"You just got back, I wanted to spend time with you. Then you told me about the compulsion."
"So why didn't you tell me?"
"What do you want me to tell you? That I missed you and didn't want to get you upset? That I was angry when you Klaus kissed you? That you were compelled by him?" Damon was almost yelling, but keeping quiet, being careful not to draw attention.
"I thought you would tell me if they died."
"I thought you would be happier if you didn't know."
"You thought I would be happier if I didn't know about my parent's death? What did you think was going to happen? That I'd spend all of eternity wondering about them? Searching for them?" I took a deep breath to try and calm myself. "You know what?" I swallowed and did my best looking into Damon's eyes without breaking. "I'm just gonna go and think. I'll meet you at the Lockwood cellar." I said with a small smile before walking away from Damon. I didn't bother to look back. Damon was probably looking at me with a hurt expression, but it was best if I didn't look back at him in that state.
~ I know I said at the beginning of the story that Anna was going to be alive, but that got me thinking. It's going to be along the story line of the show and in the show one of the main parts (especially in this episode) where Anna being a ghost is important.). I'm tweaking some of the stuff, like with Anna and maybe in what order some stuff happens compared to the show, but It's still staying along the timeline of the show.
~ Please tell me how you like this chapter or anything you would like to see happen. Seeing the reviews is nice and makes me want to write more to this story. So, if you want to see more (which is inevitable reviews or not) please review.
~The next chapter will be up Thursday, hopefully before TVD is on my TV.
R&R 'till the next Chapter.
