Hey Guys! Hope everyone's watching tonight! Here's chapter 11!
Chapter 11
Elena woke up in the back of some car feeling groggy. What had happened? She sat up and realized her hands were tied behind her back. What was going on?
"Morning Elena." She heard coming from the driver's seat. She looked out the window and saw that it wasn't morning. The sun wasn't even up. By shifting her view a little she saw that it was Elijah that was driving.
"What's going on Elijah? Where are you taking me?" She asked him.
"Well with the full moon a couple days away, I felt that we need to stop Klaus now more than ever don't you?
"Yes but why am I here? Where are we going? Why am I tied up?"
"Well, 1: You are here because Klaus needs you for the ritual, 2: I won't tell you, 3: So you can't get away. Don't want you jumping out of a moving car." Elijah replied.
Elena sat there for a minute processing the information.
"But why am I tied up? You're a vampire you could stop me in a second."
"That is very true but I feel the need to take every precaution. It would be a hassle if you jumped out of the car and then I had to go and get you and probably heal you. Too much work." He looked back at her, "I've had my witches jam any locater spells Bonnie might do so no help there either."
"But why? If Klaus needs me for the ritual why don't you want me to escape? If you're taking me away from him…"
"Well, because I'm not taking you away from him. I'm taking you to him."
O
"Come on Bonnie!" Damon said to her again. This was the third time that she had tried to locate Elena in the past hour. They were having no luck.
"I can't find her. Whoever took her must have had witches that jammed the locater spells."
"Why don't you go ask your witch friends to help you then?" Damon asked her.
"I went over there earlier. They left, no one was there." Bonnie said folding up the map in front of her.
"You didn't feel the need to mention this before? If they cleared out that could mean Elijah took Elena. They could be the ones who jammed your spell!" Damon shouted at her.
"Damon, take it easy we've all had a rough night." Jeremy said trying to calm him down. They had been here for the past six hours trying to figure out where Elena was.
"Jeremy, the full moon is lees than a week away. That means that if Klaus has Elena, she is dead in six days." Damon said. Jenna, Jeremy and Bonnie looked at him horrified. Even though they had all been thinking it, no one had said out loud yet how close Elena was to death if they didn't get her back.
"Elijah said that he would protect Elena until Klaus came into town. Klaus is in town, and Elena is gone. That makes it very clear to me that he is the one who took Elena." Damon tried to explain to them. He glanced over to Bonnie and saw she wasn't wearing her vervain necklace.
"Bonnie where is your necklace?" He asked her.
Bonnie's instinctively reached up to her neck where her vervain necklace usually was. But her neck was bare. That was strange she never took it off.
"I- I don't know." She said looking into Damon's eyes.
"What do you remember about last night after meeting here?"
"Well, I went over to Jonas and Luka's and found out about the witch hotspot. And then… And then I, uh…" She stopped, not able to remember what happened next.
"Bonnie you were compelled.'' Damon said to her gently. He didn't know for sure who had compelled her but he had an idea.
"I can't have been! I drink vervain every-" She started and then looked at Damon horrified, "I didn't drink vervain yesterday. Or this morning!"
"Bonnie I think you should stay here tonight. If you were compelled who knows who it was and what they want." Bonnie nodded at him.
"Wait, being compelled is when a vampire controls your mind right?" Jenna interrupted. She was still getting used to the whole vampire thing.
"Yes," Jeremy said, "and vervain keeps you from being compelled."
Damon looked back to Bonnie, "Try the spell again please. I'm going out."
He grabbed his jacket off the couch and was walking to the front door when Bonnie shouted, "Where?"
"I'm going to look for help."
O
"Elijah please don't. Please don't take me to him!" Elena pleaded with Elijah. He rolled his eyes. She must know nothing she could say would stop him. She meant nothing to him.
"Elijah I thought you hated Klaus! Why would you let him break the curse?"
"If, I mean when he breaks the curse he will be weak during his transformation. Then my witches will have the chance to kill him." He said to her.
"What do you mean by his transformation? Doesn't the curse just let you walk in the sun?" Elena asked puzzled.
Elijah chuckled. "The curse of the sun and the moon. I forgot that's what people believe it is."
"What?" Elena asked.
"That curse is fake, it doesn't exist. The real curse is on Klaus."
"What is the curse?"
"Ugh, you have so many questions!"
"Well I'm going to die so you can kill Klaus. I think that you owe me a couple of answers." She spat at Elijah.
"Fine. Klaus and I are brothers. We had three other brothers, that we knew, and a sister. We lived in your town of Mystic Falls a thousand years ago. Everything was fine in my family's life except the werewolves. Every full moon we would go into tunnels underground to escape them. One full moon my brothers Niklaus and Henrik decided to stay above ground to see the men turn to wolves. Henrik was killed."
Elijah paused remembering the day when he had to see his younger brother's mangled body. He cleared his throat and then continued.
"My mother was a powerful witch. She couldn't stand to see anymore of her children get hurt. So she turned us into vampires."
"Your mother was the one who turned you into vampires? Why didn't she just have another vampire turn you?"
Elijah scoffed at her question. It sounded so stupid to him but it really wasn't.
"Because we are the original vampires. As in first ever. We are the oldest vampires alive; from us all vampires were created."
Elena nodded.
"Soon my siblings and I started to kill. When Niklaus made his first kill we realized that he was not my father's son. My mother had been unfaithful many years before. This was her biggest secret."
"How did you figure out he wasn't?" Elena asked.
"On the next full moon he turned into a werewolf." Elena let out an audible gasp from the backseat. "He was a true hybrid, more powerful than any of us until the curse. My mother placed it on him. It keeps his werewolf side dormant."
"So why do you need me to break the curse? Why not anyone?" Elena asked.
"There was a girl, Tatia. Niklaus and I had fought over her affection. She was pulling us apart and my mother knew. She used Tatia to create the curse and created the doppleganger and the moonstone to break it."
"Speaking of the moonstone, do you even have that? I know you need it for the curse."
"Right here." Elijah said holding it up. Elena eyed it before he placed it in his pocket. "I took it from Katerina in the tomb."
"So where are you taking me then?"
"All you need to know is that I'm taking you to Klaus."
Elijah turned off the highway and looked back at Elena. "Six days until the full moon Elena." He said to her. He heard her heartbeat quicken and knew those seven words had caused her more fear than anything else in her life.

Jenna, Jeremy and Bonnie were sitting in the Salvatore's living room still waiting for news from Damon. After about an hour he came back with a man they hadn't seen before. He was carrying paperwork.
"Who's that?" Bonnie asked him.
"A lawyer. I want Jenna to sign the deed to our house. That way vampires won't be able to come inside unless she invites them." Damon said.
"Me? Why me?" Jenna asked.
''I don't know. I just felt that it should be you." He said. The lawyer walked over to the kitchen table and started to spread out the papers. "He's compelled." Damon said to them.
"Um, I need the new owner to come sign here." The little man said.
Jenna walked over to the table and started signing papers where the lawyer was pointing.
"Jeremy, I know you might not like this news but, I invited your uncle John." Damon said pouring himself a glass of Scotch. "He's going to try to help find Elena."
"Why him? He hates you. He's going to try to kill you!" Jeremy said to Damon.
"Thanks for the concern Jer, but I think I can handle him."
Bonnie jumped up from the couch. "I just had an idea! If I can't find Elena I think I can find Jonas and Luka!"
"Good idea witchy. But, do you have anything of theirs?"
Bonnie pulled out a dog tag from her bag. "This is Luka's. He showed it to me when we first met."
"Great! Now how 'bout you get to finding them."
Bonnie glared at him and went to go get the map that she had been using before to try to find Elena.
Jenna walked back over to the couch and sat next to Jeremy. "He said it was done." Just then Damon started gripping his throat like he couldn't breathe. He rushed out of the house. Once he got outside he started taking huge breaths of air.
"Great. Can you invite me in now?" He said standing in the doorway.
"Sure Damon. Come inside." Jenna said. Damon walked in and started to the lawyer.
He looked him in the eyes and said, "You will forget that you came here. You went for a drive after feeling cooped up in the office." The lawyer nodded and left.
"I found them!" Bonnie called out.
O
Elijah was driving on a trail in the woods. Elena looked around her trying to remember the way they came in. After about two miles after the last house Elena saw a house that was partly hidden by the woods. Elijah turned left and pulled in front of the house.
"We're here." He said. He got out of the car and opened Elena's door. He reached behind her and untied her wrists. "Come on." He said motioning for her to get out of the car.
Elena's heart sped up and her legs started shaking as she climbed out of the car.
"Klaus isn't here yet. You don't have to be that frightened." Elijah said. Elena glared at him. He started walking to the house. Elena didn't follow him.
"You know, I can force you to come with me if you don't willingly." He said without missing a step. He heard her start walking behind him. He walked inside the house and held the door open for her. She walked right past him and stood in the front entrance crossing her arms.
Elena looked around the living room and saw two men sitting on the couch. When Elijah and her entered they turned around and looked at them.
"Jonas, Luka, this is Elena." Elijah said to them. "Elena, Luka and Jonas."
Elena's mouth gaped open. She should have realized that these were the witches that had helped Bonnie. She hadn't thought that they would help kidnap her after helping her out of the tomb though.
"Elena." Elijah said to her and she turned around, "You're going to stay in the basement so you can't escape."
Elijah grabbed her by her elbow and walked her downstairs. There was a door at the bottom with a deadbolt that he opened with a key. There was no doorknob on the inside, just a handle on the outside to pull it open. There was a light bulb near the door that Elijah pulled a string to turn on. Inside there was nothing but a dirt floor.
"Sorry I couldn't make it nice. You'll only be here a few days though." He said. He pushed her inside gently. She heard the door close behind her and heard the deadbolt lock.
O
Damon had decided to wait to go find the witches until John got there. He had told Damon on the phone that he knew a way to kill an original. Damon figured that Elijah would be with Jonas and Luka so he'd better be safe than sorry.
He was walking around upstairs when he heard a car pull into the driveway. He passed Jenna, Jeremy and Bonnie, who were still sitting in the living room, on his way to the door. He opened it expecting it to be John but saw that it wasn't.
Stefan and Katherine were walking up to the house.
Yeah! Stefan and Kathy are back! Thanks for reading and I promise next chapter is more intense this one was just a lot of talking. Please Review!
