„Bad day?", Elena repeats Klaus' question when he tells the bartender to keep them coming. After having enough alcohol that Klaus feels like talking he turns to Elena. „You have no idea." He takes a deep breath and adds, „Do you know the feeling that everybody hates you"
Elena rolls her eyes and turns to Klaus. She went there to be alone and not to have a hybrid talking to her about emotions. „Nope. And either you shut up now and do shots with me or leave. I'm not in the mood to talking about things like emotions."
Klaus smirks at Elenas' words. Everyone in this town is full of emotions and wants to talk about it, he didn't realize he's doing it too. „Know what? I'm done with this emotionfull-town. I'll leave, wanna join me on a bloody road trip?"
Elena shrugs, jumps off her seat and walks toward the exit. „Are you coming?", she asks Klaus not caring to turn around to see if he's following her. „I have to go to the boarding house, getting a few things packed. I'll see you in two hours in front of the house." Not waiting for Klaus' respond, Elena vanishes with vampire speed.
„Stooop, little Lady. Where do you think are you going?", Damon steps in front of Elena stopping her to exit the house.
„Damon, get out of my way. You're not my dad or something like that. You can't tell me to leave or not to.", Elena says annoyed and when Damon hinders her again of getting past him she rolls her eyes and asks him what he wants.
„What I want Elena? I fucking want you to be MY Elena again.", Damon screams and pushes Elena against the wall.
Elena just laughs at the upset Damon in front of her. „Really Damon? You should have thought about this earlier, don't you think. Did you think? I don't think so. You didn't think about what I would be like without my humanity. Nobody of you did. And now you're all like, Elena that's not you!" Elena lets out a laugh causing Damon to back a little bit away.
„You're the reason I am how I am. You should accept this and if you want to blaim somebody for what has happened you should blaim yourself because..", but Elena will never finish this sentence because at this moment Stefan shoots with a vervain bullet at Elena. Damon has never seen her eyes full with so much hate when she glares at the brothers who are now standing side by side.
„Good timing brother.", Damon says trying to hide how much Elenas' words have affected him. She's right, isn't she? Maybe making her turning off her humanity wasn't a good idea. But he was desperate and didn't know how to help her. At this moment he thought it was the only way. Maybe she just needed him to be there for her but he will never find out.
Stefan knows Damon too well to not notice he is affected by Elenas' words. He's sure Damon doesn't want to talk about it but that doesn't keep him from asking if he's okay. Damon just nodds and so the vampire brothers carry Elena downstairs to the cellar.
When Elena wakes up she immediately rubs her neck. Stefan vervained her, she remembers and stops the urgue to growl. She listens if someone's upstairs and hears the brothers whispering.
„I'll check on her maybe the dosis was too much.", Damon says quietly to Stefan but still loud enough for Elena to hear. So, she closes her eyes to pretend like she's still asleep and waits until she hears the cellar door being opened.
„Elena?", Damon says and steps toward his love. It breaks his heart seeing her like this. Vulnerabe and like she's already dead. „Elena?", Damon repeats and is surprised by being thrown against a wall.
Elena knows her chance isn't big but she can't just sit there and do nothing. As fast as possible she speeds out of the cellar and up the stairs. „Stefan!", Elena hears Damon shout and it seems like Stefan is prepared for something like this because when Elena opens the door she feels immediately Stefans arms around her. „Let go of me! Let go of me!", she screams and flails around.
Stefan doesn't think of doing such a thing and just tightens his grip around her. „I don't want to break your neck but if you don't stop fighting me I won't hesitate to do it.", he whispers into her ear and relaxes a little bit when he feels that Elena has given up the fight.
But Elena doesn't think of giving up. When she feels Stefans grip loosening around her,, she immediately uses his weakness and pushes him hard in the stomach. She smiles when she sees him going to the ground and holds him by the neck to throw him against the wall. Before Stefan can come back to his feet, Elena's there breaking his backbone.
Elena turns around to leave the house but the next thing she feels is pain and then nothing...
Elena wakes up in the cellar again but this time Stefan and Damon are in there, too. „Good morning Sleeping Beauty. We thought you'll never wake up", Damon says with a smirk to Stefans direction and adds, „Congratz to breaking my stupid brother's backbone. You're much younger than him and you could still defeat I gues it's not hard to defeat him"
Elena rolls her eyes what seemes like the hundreth time today, she's not really in a yeah-let's-talk mood. „Alaric didn't train you.", is all she says to Stefan and then stares emotionless at the ceiling.
„Fine, if you don't want to talk let's start.", Damon says and is satisfied when he sees Elena's looking at him, at least she cares about what they're going to do. But she won''t like it. „Stefan.", is all Damon says and his brother shoots with a wooden bullet at the brunette vampire.
Elena cries when the bullet enters her body and can't do anything but watch when Stefan chains her on a chair. „You wanna play games?", she asks, adding,"Let's see who'll break first. Me or you."
Elena doesn't want to satisfise the brothers with her screams so she tries stopping them from coming out her mouth no matter how much it hurts. The Salvatores spent the last hour torturing her with vervain with the hope to get an emotion out of Elena but she doesn't plan to play their little game.
With all her power Elena remains silent as she feels fire all over her body. It's no real fire of course, it's vervain but it definitely feels like fire. Next she feels a wooden stake in her stomach causing her to cough. She hates that she made a noise and immediately falls back into her silent-mode.
„She's right, Damon. Who will break first, we or her? She doesn't seem near breaking and you can barely hold the stake and I can't look at her thinking of who she was and doing those things to her.", Stefan is the first to speak after what seems like an eternity.
„Let's take a break.", Damon says tiredly and exits the cellar, soon followed by Stefan. „What do you plan to do now?", Stefan sits down next to his brother on the couch and pours himself and Damon a drink, knowing that his brother needs his Bourbon now. Damon murmurs a thanks when he takes the drink from Stefan and gives his brother his cell phone. „Calling Blondie."
„Do you remember the day of your first kiss?", Caroline asks cheering. This is her third try to get some emotion from Elena but she won't give up. This is her best friend sitting in front of her even if she doesn't act like that lately and she will never give up on her. When Caroline starts telling Elena of this day she immediately gets caught into her memories.
„Elena, Elena!", the blond child runs toward her brunette friend and nearly causes her to fall when she embraces her. Elena giggles and answeres Carolines hug. The two of them aren't just best friends they're sisters.
„Care, what's up?", Elena asks her best friend curiously. Caroline's always a loud and laughing person but today she seems very excited.
„Guess what! Guess what!", the blonde jumps excited causing Elena to laugh. „What is it Caroline?", she asks between laughing.
Instead of giving her an answere Caroline takes Elenas hand and runs with her friend behind her toward the lunch room of the kindergarten. „My Mom bought me this yesterday!", Caroline says excited and gives Elena a barbie. The brunette immediately jumps too recognizing the barbie from a movie the two friends watched a few days before.
„Is this Rose from the new barbie movie?", a male voice asks behind the excited friends. They immediately turn around to see a boy at their age looking at Carolines barbie with a sparkle in his eyes. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes. The two friends haven't seen him before but when he asks them if he could play with them they say „yes".
They spend the whole day playing and when they have to go home they're all sad that their day together is over. But before they go the boy smiles and then kisses Elena. Carolines friend is more than stunned and just stares at the boy. He blushes and then runs toward his mother who is waiting for him.
Caroline smiles at the memorie but when she looks at Elena she sees nothing but annoyance. Caroline feels tears in her eyes but doesn't want to cry in front of this person. She calls for Damon and runs upstairs being comforted by Stefan.
„What did you do to Blondie?", Damon asks when they're alone.
„Nothing.", she responds with her emotionless voice and frowns when she sees what's in Damons hand. „Go ahead" She doesn't want to get hurt again because...it hurts but she won't break. She will not give into them. She bites her teeth together not wanting to make a sound.
„I see we're back to silent. What about...", but he can't finish his sentence. Klaus is standing in the doorway to the cellar looking at the scene in front of him. „I was waiting. I don't like to wait", causing Elena to smirk at the hybrid.
