Chelsea's POV

I took a deep breath before entering the boarding house. 'Damon just wanted me to be happy' I tried to convince myself. He should have told me though, anyone should have. They are my parents. I have a right to know if anything happened to them. I just couldn't help but think about it. 'Where they even going to tell me?' I sighed as I opened the door to my room and just flopped backwards onto my bed. I just stared at the ceiling thinking about my mom. 'I can't believe they're dead.' I let tears escape my eyes. After holding them back in front of Damon.' I was going to be strong in front of him.'I thought. I spent the whole summer, well most of it, holding back the guilt and sorrow from all the people that we killed. 'I don't know how Damon does it.' I thought. I sighed at my thoughts as I stayed on my bed.

There was a sound of something rustling. I sat up and lightly focused in on the sound. 'It's coming from Damon's room' I thought. Against what I was thinking, I got up from my bed and slowly walked to Damon's room to see what was causing the noise. Carefully and Slowly, I opened the door to his room and peaked in with my head.

"Chels?" I heard a voice ask. 'I recognize that voice' I thought as I stepped into Damon's room.
"Anna?" I asked out loud. 'It was her voice. I know it.' I heard some footsteps and ended up turning to the side just to see her standing there. She was looking at me with a smile on her face.
"Anna." I said with a smile before I went to hug her. "I just found out this morning." I told her as we came apart from the hug. "Who, killed you?" I asked.
Anna's expression changed, like she was deciding what to say. "I think it's best if you don't know." Anna told me rather calmly.
"But I want to know." I told her.
"I know, but it's best if you don't know right now." She said with some sadness in her eye. I slightly nodded my head.
"How long are you here?" I asked. 'Maybe I would have more time with her' I thought.
"Not much longer." I did my best to stop the tears that were threatening to gather in my eyes. "If I'm lucky, a couple of hours." I looked at her with a sad smile on my face. "I have to get back to Jeremy." Anna said to me. I nodded my head at her a little. "I'll miss you." I said with a small smile. "Best Friends?"
"Forever." Anna said which made me smile. I looked at her as she disappeared. 'Just like my mom did.' I thought.

I took a deep breath and just stood there for a moment. It felt strange being in Damon's room again. The last time I was in here was before the werewolf bite. It was the morning that I met Klaus. 'I should probably go' I thought. For some reason, I wanted to get to the Lockwood cellar before Damon did. I don't know why thought. I sped into my room, grabbed a hair tie, and put my hair into a pony tail before walking out of my room.

On the way out, I saw Caroline and Bonnie coming up the stairs. I slightly smiled at them before I passed them. 'Wait a minute' I thought when I stopped in my tracks.
"Hey, guys?" I turned around to face them. "Thought you should know, I'm not compelled anymore."
"How do we know for sure?" Bonnie asked.
"I would be acting like Stefan if I still was." I said to them before turning around, continuing to walk out of the boarding house.

I walked into the Lockwood cellar to see Mason setting two lanterns on the ground.
"Didn't think you'd come." He said, turning around to face me.
"I have nothing better to do." I said as he bent down to light the lanterns.
"Neither do I." I heard Damon say from behind me. I turned to see him walking up to us carrying a shovel. He looked at me with a slightly worried look on his face. I kept my expression as straight as I could.
"We hit a snag in our only other Klaus lead. Let's just say we're highly motivated." Damon said to Mason as he stood up from the ground holding the lanterns. He traded one lantern with Damon for the shovel he holding.
"Mikael? Yeah. That didn't turn out so great, did it?" Mason asked Damon.
"How do you know so much?" I asked Mason.
"There's not much to do on the other side but sit around and watch other people screw things up." I felt heart beat a little faster. I couldn't help but think of my mom seeing all the things that I did over the summer and Anna. All the things that she has possibly seen me do.
"What are we looking for?" Damon asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"There's an old Lockwood family legend about a weapon that can kill an original vampire." Mason hit a brick wall. He turned to me and Damon. "Like the rest of their secrets, they kept it buried." Mason tried to hit the wall again but didn't even make a mark.
"Let me do it." I said as I walked up, taking the shovel from Mason. "I want to try something anyway." I said before standing still in front of the wall.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. All my feelings, all my thoughts on the wall. The wall was pictured clearly in my mind. I took another deep breath and opened my eyes. On the exact moment I opened my eyes, the wall exploded. A piece hit me in the leg while other pieces flew in other directions. My leg stung a little but it quickly went away.
"Hey!" I heard Damon say. I turned around to see Damon looking at his leg.
"Sorry." I told him as I looked at his face. "I can't control where they fly. It's the first time I did a spell like that on a brick wall." I set the shovel against the wall and looking into the tunnel. I took a deep breath and took one step into the tunnel.
"Be careful." Damon said. I could hear Damon and Mason stepping closer to the opening. I stopped and turned around towards them.
"Go for it." Mason said to Damon. Damon turned his head towards Mason.
"You first." Damon looked back into the tunnel.
"What, you think I'm leading you into a trap?" Mason asked Damon with a slightly confused look on his face.
"The thought crossed my mind." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Would one of you go first? I don't want to be standing here all day." I told them. Mason ended up squeezing between Damon and the wall and entered the tunnel. Mason took a few steps past me before Damon entered the tunnel.

I was walking next to Damon through the tunnel as Mason was leading us. For some reason I was starting to feel a little weaker from breaking the brick wall. 'Why?' I thought to myself thinking about it. I had to stop walking for a moment. Damon turned to me just as I started to lean against the wall.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked me. I took a deep breath before looking at Damon.
"I'm fine." I said, but Damon didn't look convinced. Mason stopped and turned to us as Damon stepped closer to me. I looked at Damon's face and concern was all over it. "I'm fine." I said a little bit more convincingly with a small smile. I slowly stood on my own again instead of the wall to show Damon that I was okay. "Let's keep going." I said before starting to walk through the tunnel again.

"Your motives are deceptively pure." Damon ended up saying to Mason. 'Must to get his mind off of things' I thought. 'He doesn't want to worry about me.'
"You talk the talk, but I know you'll do anything for your brother and Chelsea." I couldn't help but look at Damon. "You won't screw me over as long as we have the same agenda." Mason finished.
"To kill Klaus." I said turning my attention back to the front of us.
"I'm supposed to believe you're not going to screw me over?" I rolled my eyes. 'There you go again.' I thought. Damon and I stopper because we didn't know where to go. There were different directions in front of us and we didn't know which one to go through.
"All right. Which way?" Damon asked out loud.
"I don't know." Mason said.
"Flip a coin?" I asked to Damon, tying to add a little humor to all of this.
"Aren't you supposed to be all-knowing?" Damon asked turning to Mason.
"I'm a ghost. I'm not God." I chuckled a little. "Go left." Mason suggested, looking in that direction. Damon and I looked left, but it was a dead end.
"Or not." Damon said.
"You have trust issues. Anyone ever tell you that?" Mason asked Damon.
"Once or twice." He said looking at me. I couldn't help but let a small smile appear on my face before Damon took a couple of steps forward.

Damon yelled as stakes started to shoot from the walls and pierce his body. I gasped as the lantern fell from his hand and onto the floor. I watched as Damon tried to pull one of them out but couldn't.
"Mason," I started to say turning to him. ", get the shovel." I said before he went back to get it. I turned back to Damon. "I'm going to help you get out." I said getting closer to Damon.
"You can't." He struggled to say. "They're covered in vervain."
"I blew up a brick wall. I'm pretty sure I can get vervain soaked stakes out of you." I said to Damon. He looked at me just before I started to focus on the stakes. "No pain, no gain." I said out loud before putting my hands on the stakes. They burned but I broke it, trying to ignore the pain. Instead of pulling the other's out, I tried something else. I focused on the other stake, picturing it in my mind. A crack appeared in it just as Mason appeared back with the shovel. The stake broke and I couldn't help myself from leaning against the wall again. Mason used the shovel to break the rest of the stakes out of Damon. As soon as they were all out, Damon came up next to me.

"What were you thinking?" He asked me with slight anger in his voice.
"You would have done the same for me." I kind of snapped at him. "Besides, it wouldn't be good if you were stuck there." I said to him before taking a deep breath and trying not to rely on the wall. Damon gently put his hands on my waist to hold me up. "I'm okay Damon."
"Don't try." He said, looking into my eyes. 'Whatever' I thought. There is no use arguing with Damon.

"You know what the other side is like?" Mason asked after we started to walk a little farther. "We're all alone. We watch the people we left behind and we regret our decisions." I started to feel sad for Mason and myself. He's watching Tyler become a hybrid because of Klaus, and I have my mom watching me, do what I have been doing. "That's it. Look, I can't change what happened to me. But maybe I can change what happens to Tyler." Mason looked between the both of us. "I don't need revenge, Damon. I need redemption." Mason said before he started to walk further into the tunnel. I started to walk by myself, but Damon kept his hands on me.
"Damon," I said, looking at him. "I can walk by myself." I said adamantly. He looked into my eyes for a moment before slowly backing away from me. I took a deep breath and slowly started to follow Mason on my own, with Damon not far behind me.

I was following Mason with Damon still behind me.
"Ouch." I said out loud after hitting an invisible barrier.
"This is not happening." Damon said as he got to the barrier and discovered he couldn't get past either.
"What now?" Mason asked after he turned around to face us.
"We can't get through. It's like we're not invited in." I said to Mason. He stood there for a moment before turning back around.
"Wait!" Damon said to Mason.
"I'm not stopping just 'cause you're stuck. I'll let you know what I find." Mason said as he tried to examine the walls.
"Yeah, but..." Damon started to try and complain.
"Looks like you're gonna have to trust me" Mason said without turning back to us.

I watched Mason as he examined the walls. He stopped at one wall and just looked at it with widened eyes.
"So?" Damon asked Mason as he stood, staring at the wall. "What'd you find?"
"It's in..." Mason started to say before he disappeared. The Lantern that he was holding fell to the ground like Damon's did earlier.
"No." Damon whispered. "No, where'd you go?" He asked to where Mason once was. "Mason, Mason!" We both stood there for a moment, staring at where Mason once stood.
"Maybe, you should…uh," I started to say to Damon. "Call someone? You know, someone that can get in there." I suggested to Damon. He slightly nodded his head and pulled out his phone.
"I know just the person." He said before dialing.

Damon and I were sitting on some steps waiting for Alaric to come. To me, it felt awkward between us. He should have told me about my mom and Anna no matter how he wanted me to feel. I felt like I should say something to Damon but my mouth couldn't open.
"What was that back there?" Damon asked me. I slowly turned my head towards him. "Why did you have to lean against the wall?"
"Big spells takes its toll on me. I just never did that spell on a brick wall before." I paused, looking at Damon. "And it doesn't help that I didn't have anything today." Damon looked at me with a concerned look for a moment before we heard footsteps coming from behind us.

We turned our heads to see Alaric walking in.
"You're here." Damon said to Alaric before he stood up. I took a deep breath and stood up, making room for Alaric. "It's about time."
"Didn't have anyone else to call?" Alaric asked Damon.
"No, actually, I don't. 'Cause we need a non-vampire to get in the cave, and other than Elena, you're pretty much the only human I trust."
"Well, you have a crappy way of showing that." For some reason, I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"Look, if Mason Lockwood can get over the fact that I killed him, can't you cut me a little slack, Ric?"
"What else don't I know?" I whispered out loud, but I think Damon only heard me. They both looked at me before Alaric looked at Damon.
"I shouldn't have to get over it. I was your friend, Damon. You shouldn't have done it in the first place."
"Well! Sometimes... " Damon started to say to Alaric. "I do things I don't have to do." Then Damon looked at me.
"You're going to recycle that same crap ass apology you gave Mason Lockwood?" Damon rolled his eyes and looked at Alaric.
"Yeah. Well... I didn't mean it with him." Damon smiled at Alaric and then looked at me again. I took a deep breath and looked at Alaric. Alaric looked down in the direction where the cave is and then started to walk in that direction.

Alaric was walking in front of me and Damon. I tried to avoid looking at Damon, but it didn't help that I could see him out the corner of my eye. 'Turn it off' A voice whispered inside of me. 'No.' I whispered back to it. 'I won't do it again.'
'It'll be easier.' It said to me. 'You can always turn it back on.' It said to me.

I leaned against the wall as I brought my attention to Alaric, who was now standing where Mason was.
"So was Mason screwing with us, or is there something in there?" Damon asked Alaric. 'It'll be easier' the voice said inside me again. 'What would happen though if I did?' I couldn't help but ask myself. I just stared into the area where Alaric was standing. My thoughts wanted me to turn it off, but from every time that's happened, nothing good came from it. 'You won't care if you turn it off' The voice said to me.

"Ric." I heard Damon say which made me slightly come out of my thoughts. "Ric." I heard Damon say again. I took a deep breath and moved my eyes towards Alaric. He was looking at the wall that Mason was looking at before.
"I found something." He said.
"What is it?" I asked calmly.
"I have no idea." I took another deep breath and although I couldn't see it, I could tell that Damon was looking at me. 'Should I just pretend?' I asked myself. It seemed to have worked for Damon when he first got here, but then he surrounded himself with compelled girls. 'Maybe I should.' I couldn't help but think.

"Damon?" I ended up asking as I turned my head to him. "Were you ever going to tell me about my parent's or Anna?" 'I have to know the truth' I thought. He just started at me, like he was trying to decide rather or not to answer.

~I wanted the chapter to end with Damon's answer, but I decided to be mean and make it a cliffhanger. I know it's not the best way to leave a chapter, but Damon's answer will determine rather Chelsea gives in the voice inside her. I am leaning towards making Chelsea do one thing, but I would like to see your ideas and thoughts about what she could do.
~I know that Anna had to be at the boarding house at some point because she had the necklace, so I decided to write that in and so Chelsea could see her one more time.
~ So, thoughts? Questions? Ideas? leave them in the reviews.

~Chapter's 15-16 will be on Ordinary People. (Chapter 15 will be uploaded on the 20th).
