School of the damned

Chapter 22

Elena woke up with a splitting head ache and groaned as her eyes took in the intensity of the pale white walls that surrounded her. Where was she?

She struggled to fully open her eyes and finally focused on a white ceiling.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Someone said.

Elena jerked her head around as Rebekah came into focus. Her nose was slightly askew and she had a black eye forming from where Elena had punched her earlier. Elena tried to get up, but her arms and legs were bound together somehow.

"What did you do to me?"

"I haven't done anything to you yet Elena, but something tells me we're about to have a ton of fun together really soon."

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to tell you the real truth. I can tell that it's killing you not knowing the rest of your history."

"Just spit it out already Rebekah."

"Oh I'll tell you and then I'll do other things to you that make you wish that you were still just some pathetic human."

Elena shivered. What the hell was wrong with Rebekah?"

"But first I need to give you a brief history lesson."

"Why? My father already told me that he slept with an angel and she got pregnant with me making me a half angel half demon freak or did you have more to share?"

"Yes I do. You see Elena. Your family has a history of getting together with angels or demons. You see your grandmother Madeline was also an angel, but she hooked up with a demon just like your father hooked up with your mother."

"Now I'm really confused. If my father was a half angel and half demon like I am then how come I'm half and half."

"Because strangely the memebers of your family are all apart of some twisted prophecy. You see your family is the only family in history who has a choice. They are destined to fall in love with either a demon or an angel, but here's the catch they could only be one."

"What do you mean? I'm both."

"Well at least for now. You see the way it goes is that the more good you do the more your angel side prevails while if you do more evil the more your dark side prevails and since you're such a goody two shoes it explains why you're drawn to Damon so much because of your prophecy. Now don't get me wrong. You might not be destined to be with Damon, but that's why sleeping around with him would be so thrilling for you, because it's in your families nature to sleep with demons."

"Now that you're done enlightening me on my family's supposed prophecy, you should really let me go now."

"But Elena my dear. That's only apart of the story. We all know that everyone wanted to kill your mother for conceiving an abomination like you, but you don't even know the rest of the story. Come in here!"

Before she knew it, Stefan had appeared in the room and instead of a look of concern that was usually on his face he was outright smiling. What was going on here?

"Should you tell her this part of the story Stefan or should I?"

"What is she talking about Stefan?"

Stefan averted his gaze as Rebekah smiled.

"I guess I'll have to tell you this part of the story as well. You see as soon as my mother caught wind of your location she decided to use Stefan as bait to bring you to where you belonged. Now please keep in mind that my mother had no plans on killing you, but I had other plans."

"Is this true?"

"Yes. I had no real intention of actually being with you, but you made it so difficult. Me and Rebekah have been sleeping together this whole time and you did totally screw up by pushing Damon away. I'm shocked that he actually does care about you. I mean I only had to put up with you for a handful of months and you were annoying and clingy as hell."

Elena bit back tears and let some of them fall. This couldn't be happening. This had to be some horrible nightmare.

"What are you going to do to me?"

"You don't know what you're in do you?"

Elena gulped and cried a little bit more.

"I'm going to drain your demon power so that it won't be a natural choice. Which will interfere in your stupid prophecy."

"Why don't you drain my angel power instead?"

"Because your demon power is more powerful and you won't be able to take me on without it."

Elena exhaled as Rebekah closed the lid and turned on an intercom.

"Are you ready to face your fate Elena?"

Before she could answer Rebekah pressed the red button. Pain shot through Elena as she cried out at the horrible sensation. It was like a hundred needles and razor blades were slicing through her skin as well as a chocking sensation. It was like her entire body was on fire as well. It felt like it shouldn't have been happening. And her demon side was fighting hard to stay the way it was, but of course it was losing.

Elena closed her eyes and fought hard to stay awake, but the feeling of darkness was tugging at her almost like her whole life was being drained away from her. But she knew she had to fight back someway. She just hoped something that Damon had taught her would work. She had to get inside his mind first. She concentrated on reaching out to Damon. She just prayed to God that it would work.

"Damon. Help me please. They have me in the testing room. They're trying to kill me."

Rebekah laughed as Stefan tugged her closer. She felt so stupid.

"Do you actually believe that Damon could hear you?" Rebekah laughed.

"I can't believe you tricked me. Out of all the people who could have done it I never thought you would be one of the people to betray me."

Elena placed her head down and closed her eyes. She refused to cry or scream during any of this. She would not please Rebekah or Stefan. Then a glorious sound of struggling woke her up and she glanced up.

Her vision was blurred, so she couldn't see who it was that was saving her. After a while all had gone silent as she closed her eyes again. She wanted the darkness to take her now, but it refused to let her go to sleep.

Elena heard the glass case open and groaned as her body was unbuckled, lifted out of the case, and onto the cold tile floor.

"Oh my God, Elena." The voice whispered.

Her hair was swept away as a warm body was pressed to hers.

"Don't die on me Elena. I'll make the pain go away."

Her head was lifted up slightly and she felt a surge of power as the person's lips slammed down onto hers. One by one the painful feeling went away so she felt as if she could breathe again.

"Elena. Open your eyes please." He whispered.

A sense of cold touched her skin and she fought hard to open her eyes.

When they opened, her vision began to clear up and she saw Damon holding onto her. He had heard her. Her mother's necklace now was hanging back on her neck.

"How did you-" she asked. Her voice barely a whisper.

"Let's just say I have my ways."

Elena smiled even though it was slightly painful.

"You saved me."

"I'd be crazy not to."

"It was all just a lie."

"What was a lie?"

"He was a lie. Everything I thought was so beautiful about me and him was a lie."

Damon pulled her closer and hugged her while she cried. She saw Stefan and Rebekah knocked out and she couldn't feel more happier or relieved. The door flew open and Esther entered along with her father.

"What happened Elena?"

"Your daughter almost killed me."

"Why would Rebekah do such a thing?"

"Because I'm the one you sent Stefan to look for."

"You're his daughter." She said pointing to Elena's father.

Elena nodded she was tired of hiding it.

"Can we save this discussion for a later time? I need to get Elena to the clinic. You might think she's an abomination, but I consider her to be more than that." Damon said tugging her closer.

"Of course." Esther said. "I'll personally see to it that these two are taken care of."

Before Elena could say something that she would regret, Damon lifted her up and carried her to the clinic.
