Hi everyone! Thanks so much for reading my story! I'm having a really fun time writing and I hope you're enjoying it! I updated this one fast because I finished up early and just really wanted to post it! So here's chapter five!
Chapter 5
Jeremy watched Elena sleep for about twenty minutes before he called Caroline. He felt like everyone had forgotten about her in their grand schemes so he knew she hadn't known the real plan.
"Jeremy? What's up?" She asked. She checked her watch; it was 11:14.
"Did Bonnie tell you what happened today?"
"No! Why? What happened?" Caroline asked very concerned.
"Elena got stuck in the tomb with-" Jeremy started before Caroline tried to interrupt, "Caroline I want to tell you everything so please don't interrupt me. Okay? Good, anyway, Elena got stuck in the tomb with Katherine. No one is blaming you so don't feel bad. I went to go get her out tonight but Katherine compelled her to stay in the tomb. I need your help. I don't know how to get her out."
"Did you call Stefan?" Caroline asked Jeremy.
"No, see the plan was for us to all go in the morning, but I don't want to leave Elena alone with Katherine."
"I'm going to call Stefan then." Caroline said.
"No! He'll say wait till the morning so we can all think better or some crap like that! I just need help and I don't know what to do." Jeremy said panicking that she would tell on him.
"I don't think he would say that Jeremy. I'm going to call him." Caroline said before hanging up.
O
Damon hadn't said a word to Stefan after calling him an idiot. It was complete silence until Stefan's phone rang.
"Hello." Stefan said in his usual broody tone.
Damon could hear everything Blondie was saying from across the room, "Stefan, Jeremy went to go get Elena tonight."
"What? Did he get her out?" Stefan said into the phone surprised.
"No. Stefan, Katherine compelled Elena not to leave."
"Damn it!" Stefan punched the wall causing some rock to break off.
"What should we do?" Caroline asked having heard his outburst.
"Maybe if we had gotten her earlier-" Damon started.
"The past isn't going to help us much Damon." Stefan said glaring at him before returning to his call with Caroline, "Did Jeremy tell you how Katherine compelled her, like what she said to do?"
"No, do you want me to call him?"
"I just will. Thanks Caroline." He said before hanging up and dialing Jeremy.
"You should have listened to me Stefan!" Damon yelled at him, "Now how are we going to get her out?" Stefan decided to ignore Damon.
"Jeremy, I'm not even going to bother to ask why you made up your own plan. Ask Elena how Katherine compelled her, like what she told her to do."
"Stefan she's asleep, like dead asleep. I won't be able to wake her no matter how much I try." Jeremy responded.
"Just try Jeremy okay."
"Stefan, I think Katherine's asleep, cause she's not at the front of the tomb where Elena is." Jeremy started.
"That's good news." Stefan automatically interrupted, "That means she can't hurt her."
"The only problem is Elena is covered in blood. Like actually covered. There's a hole in her shirt right in the stomach and the shoulders are red."
Stefan and Damon were speechless. Stefan was thinking over and over again, 'How could I let this happen?" Damon was thinking along the same lines, 'How could Stefan let this happen! If he had just let me get her in the first place none of this would have happened!'
"Stefan? Stefan?" Jeremy was still on the phone.
"Yea Jeremy. I'll be over there in an hour tops. I need to go get Bonnie." Stefan snapped his phone shut.
''Stefan, let me out.'' Damon said to him. "STEFAN!" He screamed when Stefan ran out, shutting the door behind him.
O
It didn't take Elijah long to figure out where the tomb was. He was walking through the woods to it when he heard something that struck him as odd.
There were two heartbeats in the tomb.
That didn't make sense unless Katerina had two humans in the tomb with her. He got to the top of the stairs and listened into the tomb.
He heard a phone conversation out of context, "Stefan? Stefan?" Said a boy from the tomb.
"Yea Jeremy I'll be over there in an hour tops. I need to go get Bonnie." He heard from over the phone. With the conversation over Elijah strolled into the tomb, smelling blood. He saw a boy sitting next to a sleeping girl with blood covering her shirt next to a hole in the wall.
When the boy saw him he immediately stood up glaring at Elijah.
"Who are you?"
The girl and blood could wait; Elijah needed to deal with this boy. He looked the boy over, scuffed athletic shoes, ripped jeans and a plaid shirt. He looked not over 16.
"I am Elijah."
"No, no you can't be! They said you were dead!" The boy said backing away.
Elijah ran up to him and looked him in the eyes trying to compel him.
"So you have vervain too?" Elijah said looking over this person until he found what he was looking for, a bracelet. He proceeded to rip this bracelet off the boy's wrist and looked up into the boy's eyes. Realizing what was about to happen the boy was looking down at the ground not meeting Elijah's gaze.
Elijah took the boy's chin and forced it upward to look him dead in the eyes.
"Who are you?"
The boy's voice became monotone when he said, "Jeremy Gilbert."
"Oh! Gilbert, so I presume you're the doppleganger Elena's brother. Am I correct?" Elijah asked him still compelling him.
"Adoptive brother and biological cousin." He replied in the same monotone voice.
Elijah was mildly curious about how this boy was related to her but it could wait. There were more pressing issues to deal with.
"Why are you here?"
"Elena's stuck in the tomb with Katherine. I didn't want her to be alone." Was the boy's reply. Elijah glanced at the girl and realized it was the doppleganger.
"Why didn't one of the brothers go and save her?"
"They wouldn't be able to get out. It's spelled." The boy said again in the monotone voice.
''Spelled how?"
"Vampires can't get out once they go into the tomb."
"How is Elena stuck in there then?"
"Katherine compelled her."
"Katerina." Elijah growled under his breath, "Wake Elena up." he said to Jeremy.
Jeremy shook Elena's blood covered shoulder for almost three minutes before she woke up.
"What?" She asked sitting up confused. When she saw Elijah she was about to scream before he compelled her also.
"Stay right there. Don't scream."
He turned back to Jeremy and pointed to the corner of the tomb. "Sit there on the ground. Don't move or make a sound until I tell you that you can."
Jeremy went and sat on the ground staring straight ahead.
"How…? What?" Elena managed to get out staring up at Elijah.
"Hello Elena. We meet again. You seem to be in a predicament." He said smirking at her terrified expression. Her heart was beating extremely fast. He could tell she was petrified.
"How are you alive? Damon killed you." She said; she wanted to run away but she couldn't.
"I'm harder to kill than you think." Elijah said to her. "A tale for another day. I need you to do something."
"And what would that be?" Elena asked protesting even though he could compel her in a second.
"I first need you to go wake up Katerina, make her come to the front of the tomb with you. I don't care how you do it." He said not compelling her yet.
"No! Katherine would kill me if I woke her up!" Elena said still protesting.
"Fine," Elijah said, compelling her this time, "Wake up Katerina, make her come to the front of the tomb with you."
Elena nodded and walked to the back of the tomb.
O
"Katherine." Elena said shaking her. "Katherine!"
Katherine was pissed. She probably got an hour of sleep tops before Elena woke her up. Just to teach her a lesson Katherine drove one of her fists into Elena's stomach with all her might. Elena flew to the other side of the room, hit the wall, and fell to the ground with the wind knocked out of her.
"What do you want?" Katherine said growling, the veins popping out from under her eyes.
Elena could barely even breathe let alone answer Katherine. She just sat on the floor grasping her stomach and gasping.
"Well, now I'm up, I'm hungry and pissed at you. You shouldn't have woken me up." Katherine said bending down to speak right into Elena's face.
Elena let out somewhere between a moan and a scream when Katherine pulled her to her feet by her elbow.
Elena got one good look into Katherine's furious face before she felt Katherine's fangs plunged into the right side of her neck. Katherine's face made her even more frightened; it was full of pure hatred and anger. Elena knew she might not get out this time.
Katherine drank and drank and drank from Elena's neck. She held Elena's body close to her preventing her from falling when her knees gave out. Tears ran down Elena's dirt stained face as she felt herself growing weaker and weaker.
"STOP! PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP!" Elena screamed when she finally found her voice.
"Ugh, you ruin all the fun! You're as broody as your boyfriend." Katherine said dropping the sobbing Elena to the ground.
Katherine then heard another heartbeat, she wouldn't have heard it if Elena's wasn't still trying to recover from so much blood being taken.
"Oh you brought a friend! How exciting!" Katherine said clapping her hands together like a small child. Knowing that Katherine had heard Jeremy Elena cried even harder, forgetting about Elijah.
"Ugh again with the crying! Why don't you stop crying?" Katherine flashed in front of her and compelled her, "Stop crying now." Elena stopped crying at once even though she knew she could very well carry on for a few more hours.
"Lets go meet our new friend!" Katherine said pulling Elena off the ground. When Elena just collapsed again Katherine didn't bother trying to get her to walk and dragged her to the entrance of the tomb.
O
Elijah heard the entire scuffle between the doppelgangers, knowing that he would have to end it if it went to far. He was very pleased when Katherine stopped on her own accord and started walking to the front of the tomb. Elena didn't even have to persuade her.
When Katherine reached the front of the tomb she immediately saw Jeremy sitting straight against a wall not talking or moving at all. That was strange. She was sure he had just heard everything that had happened. Then she saw Elijah.
"Hello Katerina. It's been a while hasn't it?"
OMG! Katherine must be so scared! What's going to happen next?
