A/N: Still working on catching up on everything, hopefully before the new year, I'll probably be up all night now trying to catch up on everything and just getting it done ;) I love you guys so much, trust me I wouldn't be staying up at all hours of the night writing these things if I didn't love you guys so much! But next month, I plan on ending most of my stories that are going on so I can write new ones! Hopefully just as good as these other ones I have, especially like Don't Ever Look Back because that story has been done for over a month now and it's still doing really well! So since you guys liked that one so much, obviously I gotta write more stories like that. Who knows what will come to mind next year for stories ;) xoxo, Avril
P.S. This chapter is in Third Person POV, thought I'd take a break from the 1st Person POV for now ;) Oh, and the six months (which will make sense after you read the chapter), I made it faster because well, they are supernatural, I figure things would happen faster ;)

Chapter Eight: All I Wanted Was You
Elena woke up in the living room feeling like almost every bone in her body was broken. The sun hurt her eyes as it came in through the closed shades, even the sounds of Jeremy moving around in the chair next to her gave her a headache.
"Ow" Elena said
Jeremy stirred when he heard Elena say something and he woke up and yawned and looked over at Elena who was currently trying to bury her face into the couch.
"You okay sis?" Jeremy asked
"No, am I dead?" Elena asked "Because everything hurts"
"No" Jeremy laughed "You're still alive"
"You have a point, death wouldn't hurt this much" Elena said
"I would know, remember?" Jeremy asked
"Oh…right" Elena sighed and looked up at Jeremy now and she noticed the blinds were closed shut even more now, he must have done that for her without her even noticing "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" Jeremy asked
"You look like you haven't even moved and you shut the blinds?" Elena asked
"Actually, I didn't move" Jeremy said
"It was me" Damon sighed and his voice was coming from above Elena and she looked up to see Damon hovering over her now "How are you feeling?" He asked and leaned over and kissed her forehead
"Like I was killed" Elena sighed
"I thought you were going to die last night with what Bonnie had to do to you. It was like watching a horror movie or something" Damon said "I'm sorry you had to go through all that. You want anything?"
"Water would be nice for now" Elena said
"Alright" Damon said and kissed her on the forehead again and walked into the kitchen and got water for her
"You know, I wonder what Bonnie was talking about" Jeremy said
"What do you mean?" Elena asked
"She told me something last night what she was leaving here after getting Katherine out of you…she said something else stayed" Jeremy said
"Great" Elena sighed
"I don't think it was anything really bad though…I don't know, I'll have to ask her today" Jeremy said
"You better" Damon said walking into the room again "I want to know what's going on with Elena"
"Fine, I'll go ask her today" Jeremy sighed "Actually, right now" Jeremy said and stood up and started walking towards the door, "I'll be back" He said and with that he was gone
It didn't take long for Jeremy to get to Bonnie's, he knocked on the door and waited for her to answer, it took her a while since Jeremy knew she looked out the window in her living room to see who was there before she opened the door, but she eventually did answer the door.
"Oh, hey Jer, what's up? How's Elena?" Bonnie asked
"That's what I came to ask you about" Jeremy said
"What do you mean? Is she okay?" Bonnie asked suddenly worried
"She's fine, a little sore I think, but fine" Jeremy said "What did you mean last night? When you told me something else stayed with Elena?" Jeremy asked
"Oh…it was nothing. You know how weak spells make me and stuff, I was delusional" Bonnie said "Elena should be fine"
"…Bonnie, you're lying" Jeremy said "What stayed?"
"Nothing" Bonnie said firmly "If that's it, then goodbye Jeremy" Bonnie said and started to shut the door but Jeremy held it open now
"Bonnie" Jeremy said
"Goodbye Jeremy" Bonnie said and shut the door all the way now and Jeremy stood there for a minute, hoping she would open up the door, but she never did, so he left, but he was going to find out one way or another what Bonnie was talking about
"Nice job, very believable. You should be an actress witch" Aislinn said as she sat there in Bonnie's living room reading one of her spell books "Huh, so I'm guessing this is the spell you used to destroy my necklace" She said and pointed out the spell
"The very same" Bonnie sighed and sat down across from her
"Well, I'm glad you're cooperating with me, I would hate to kill everyone in this town" Aislinn smiled and shut the book and put it aside "Now, back to that spell I was talking to you about, how does it work?"
"Well, it was kinda already started actually" Bonnie sighed
"Really?" Aislinn asked interested "Tell me more"
"Well, I'm guessing here, but from what Cassandra has told me, about seeing Damon and Stefan's mom, their both part fae" Bonnie sighed "Thus, adding another twist in this sick and twisted plot here in Mystic Falls and now we have a dhampir running around with vampire/far baby"
"Wow, this town really does attract the supernatural freaks" Aislinn smiled "So, the rest of the spell?"
"It was cast last night when I kicked Katherine out. It definitely worked, Jeremy said Elena felt sore today, so it worked" Bonnie sighed
"Good. If I can't have my necklace, then I'll simply have the human form of my necklace" Aislinn smiled "You Bennett witches sure are powerful"
"You know I'd do anything to save this town" Bonnie said
"Yes, anything to save Mystic Falls" Aislinn sighed
"You're going to keep you're deal right? The kid is born, you take it, leave, and do what you want and leave everyone here alone, right?" Bonnie asked
"Cross my heart and hope to be staked" Aislinn grinned
"Good" Bonnie said
"Well, now that we're done here and I know that you are working with me. I say business is done here, for now, enjoy the six months of guilt Bennett. Should be heartbreaking to watch them get all excited and then have it all crushed when I take their precious little once in a lifetime child and use it for…evil purposes" Aislinn said with a smirk
"W-We're are you going for six months?" Bonnie asked nervously
"I'll be around, watching, I might even look in at the happy couple and watch them plan everything, maybe even pick up a few name ideas, I mean, I don't have to kill the kid, just use their power and keep them, raise them as my own. Who knows? Maybe I'll make a good mother" Aidlinn laughed "See ya later witch"
And with that, Aislinn was gone and Bonnie was left sitting there in her living room, with guilt eating her alive. She did this to Damon and Elena, now she had to watch them get all excited once Elena found out and then their hearts break when Aislinn took them away to use their powers for what she planned to do originally with the necklace. In frustration, Bonnie sent a book flying across the room without even touching it. The book hit a wall and fell down open and Bonnie went over to pick it up and close it. She sat down on the ground next to the book and just sat there, letting the guilt slowly eat her alive. How was she going to survive these six months?
"Feeling better?" Damon asked Elena as he sat next to her on the couch and she rested her head in his lap
"A little, I kinda feel a little sick to my stomach though" Elena sighed
"Anything I can do?" Damon asked
"No, it'll pass" Elena sighed
Just then the front door opened and slammed shut behind Jeremy as he stormed into the Boarding House.
"Whoa, what's the problem? No need to break the door" Damon said
"Bonnie's lying' Jeremy said frustrated "She wouldn't tell me what was wrong, I know she's hiding something" Jeremy growled
"Jeremy, calm down" Elena said sitting up, "I'm sure she has a reason to-"
"It's about you Elena!" Jeremy hissed "I don't want anything else to happen to you! You're my sister, I'm trying to protect you!"
"Jeremy, we're all trying to protect her, but I think you need to calm down here" Damon said and removed Elena from his lap and stood up to face Jeremy now "Relax" He said and put both hands on his shoulders
"…Fine" Jeremy said and took a deep breath and relaxed "I'm going to find out what's up though"
"I will too" Damon said "Don't worry about that"
"Guys, I feel fine" Elena said "A little sick to my stomach, but I'm fine now"
"We're still going to find out what Bonnie's hiding" Damon grumbled
