"Though deceived, love conquers everything"
Chapter Four: The Takers
Elena's POV
There I was, face to face with the man I loved, and ultimately, was scared to death of right now. He was fighting off the urge to just take me and drain me dry of all the blood in my body, I knew if I lived through this, Damon would learn to go hunting way more often. He eventually found it in his power to back away from me and stand a few hundred feet back for a few seconds, regaining control of everything. He walked back up to me completely normal again, I have to say, those few seconds he had me cornered were the longest and scariest seconds ever in my love, even more than when I was face to face with Katherine.
"Let me see" Damon said and grabbed my hand that was bleeding
He dropped my hand and bit into his own wrist and held it up in front of me.
"Come on" Damon said
I did as he wanted me too and took blood from him. I would never really admit this, but his blood actually tasted kinda good…but I was convinced that was the dhampir side of me talking, after all, I guess I was part vampire, thus making blood taste good. I pulled away from his wrist a few minutes later and saw my hand was all healed up now.
"Thanks" I sighed "You should hunt"
"…Yeah, I know" Damon sighed
"Go ahead, I'll go back to the house, you go ahead and go hunt-"
I was cut off by Damon passionately kissing me again now, pushing me up against the tree again, this time, I didn't grab onto the tree at all and grabbed onto Damon.
"Damon," I said pulling away to take a breath "I am NOT having sex with you in the woods"
"Why not?" Damon asked with a mischievous grin plastered on his face and started kissing my neck now
"Because…because" I said "Hey! Your doing this on purpose" I said and pushed him off of me to get him to stop kissing my neck "You know that distracts me" I said
"And you love it" Damon said and kissed my neck again
"No I, uh…I really…" I just pretty much shut up, he had me there, he always got his way. "I hate you" I said
"Sure you do" Damon said sarcastically and started kissing my lips again
He had me completely and totally distracted from everything. Okay, so there was definitely an upside to marrying an egotistical vampire, he was a great distraction.
Jeremy's POV
Anna and I were in the kitchen talking to Cassandra; Adrian was asleep in the living room. I really don't know what Anna and Cassandra were talking about, because I was tuning them out, I knew they were talking about something girl related though, because otherwise I'd be listening. I paid attention though when Damon and Elena walked in through the back door, smiling way too much. But once I finally realized what happened when they were all over each other, that was enough for me.
"Ugh, you guys are so gross" I said and walked out of the kitchen, avoiding Damon's glares.
Just as I walked out of the kitchen there was someone ringing the doorbell. I walked over to the door and answered it, since I knew no one else would.
"Isobel?" I asked shocked
"Can I come in?" She asked with a smirk
"No way, Elena told me about you" I said "Elena! Door!" I yelled and waited for her to come to the door
"Isobel?" Elena asked just as shocked as me
"Elena, may I come in?" Isobel asked with a smirk
"…I guess so" Elena sighed and stepped aside to let Isobel into the house "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I heard Katherine was finally dead, so I thought I'd visit, say hi, see how my daughters doing with her…fiancé" Isobel said and glared at Damon
"What are you really doing here Isobel?" Damon asked
"What I just told you; Are you deaf or something?" Isobel asked
"Well, we have bigger problems to deal with, so, it'd be best if you left" Damon said
"Like perhaps a vampire from the 15th century, years and years more powerful and wiser than Katherine, who can also get into people's dreams , torture them; Oh, and is hunting you down for Anna's pretty little necklace which can kill the oldest vampire alive, Dracula, and expose us to the human race" Isobel said
"How did you know?' I asked dumbfounded
"I used to work for Katherine, this girl, Aislinn, she was a threat to Katherine. Tried to kill her a few times, but Aislinn is strong" Isobel said
"So how do we stop her?" Elena asked
"Destroy the necklace, duh" Isobel said
"I meant Aislinn herself. If we can't destroy the amulet" Elena grumbled
"You can't" Isobel sighed "But you can destroy her necklace"
Elena's POV
Bonnie had to destroy the amulet where she destroyed the last one, with Emily's help. We were all there in the field. Bonnie needed the amulet and Anna took it off and handed it to her. Bonnie started casting the spell tp call for Emily and instantly you could tell when Emily took over Bonnie's body. Her voice changed too, to Emily's voice. And we all stood and watched as Emily cast the spell. The same thing happened as last time with the fire and the amulet bursting in the sky. When it was done the fire died down and Emily left Bonnie peacefully. She was tired, but her eyes were locked on me.
"Evil came back with Emily" Bonnie said tiredly to me
"What?" I asked and instantly started to lightheaded and sick
"Katherine" She said
I froze at that name and Damon heard it too. Seconds later, I felt drained of all my energy, like someone had just hit me with a brick wall and Damon caught me as I fell down.
"Elena!" He said
I let the darkness clouding the edges of my vision take over and I closed my eyes. Bonnie was right, evil was back, and I could feel it taking over my body. Katherine was back, and she was using my body to come back.
A/N: I am absolutely, positively SO SORRY that this took me SO LONG to write! I had Elena's first POV done for like almost a month now and then, I just lost complete inspiration to write it! I know you guys waited patiently for this, and I know you expected it sooner, but I'm so sorry it took me forever! I hope you guys forgive me? And sorry the chapter was short too :[ Again, I'm kinda just getting my inspiration back for this story, so I'm taking baby steps, working my way up with chapter length again :]
Now, with inspiration back, thanks to a certain song that inspired Katherine's "Return" in this story, Count Bodies Like Sheep by A Perfect Circle, and there being SUCH a beautiful day outside. I spent the day outside writing this chapter with my dogs and came back inside to type it up, so, I hope you guys like it :] Now, I'm going back outside because it's B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L out, probably more writing out in my backyard :P So, I Love you guys so much for waiting for this! xoxo, Avril
