And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's meant to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

Chapter Twelve: Iris

Elizabeth sat in the tomb with the door wide open and was waiting for Bonnie to wake up, and she was also waiting for Katherine to finally get to the door, her being locked up in there was really taking a toll on her, especially since she had probably really been starting to feel the effects of no blood in her system.

"Come on, wake up Katherine, once your out, you can drain the witch dry" Elizabeth sighed and saw Katherine finally making her way to the open door where she took her place silently and sat down by the entrance, too weak to stand. "Okay, time to wake up the witch" Elizabeth sighed and bit into her wrist and started making Bonnie drink her blood so she could wake up, and if the rest of her friends decided to come and try to save Bonnie, Elizabeth figured that if Katherine didn't drain her dry, she could change Bonnie just to piss off her friends


"I searched her house and nothing" Caroline said walking back into Elena's house and meeting up with everyone else who was coming back from the search

"She's not answering her phone" Elena sighed

"We can't just sit here" Jeremy said "We have to go find her"

"We've checked everywhere Jeremy" Stefan said

"Everywhere?" Jeremy asked "There's a physco vampire on the lose. Did you happen to check the place where the other on is locked up?"

"The tomb? Why would she go there?" Elena asked

"Katherine" Damon said "She must have taken Bonnie to let Katherine out"

"We've got to get down to that tomb, now" Jeremy said and head for the front door "If you guys don't come with me now, I'll go by myself"

"I'll go" Stefan said

"Me too" Caroline said

"I have to go check on Emily" Felecia said "I left her there with some blood, if she's healed up, I'll meet you guys there with Emily"

"I'm coming with you Jeremy" Elena said

"No, you are stay here" Damon said

"She's my friend Damon, I have to go" Elena protested

"I'm telling you to stay here. You would be walking into a tomb with two physco vampires who wouldn't think twice about killing you as soon as you walk in there, you are staying here" Damon said

"You can't make me" Elena said

"I think you are sadly mistaken Elena. I'll make you stay here" Damon said

"You wouldn't" Elena said and walked past Damon, but Damon grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back to him and he held her there even though she fought against his iron grip around her wait to go with Jeremy, he held her in place

"You guys go, I'll keep Elena here" Damon sighed and Jeremy nodded and walked out the door with everyone else

"Damon! Let me go!" Elena whined

"No" Damon said and scooped Elena up and put her down on the couch where he held her down again "I'm not letting you go get yourself killed"

"Damon-"

"I don't wanna hear it" Damon sighed


Bonnie sat there in the corner of the room, shaking in fear. Not only did she have vampire blood forced down her throat, but she just let one of the most dangerous vampires she has ever known out of the tomb and she was currently being helped out of the tomb by Elizabeth.

"Alright, time for a little pick me up" Elizabeth sighed and sat Katherine down in a corner and walked over to Bonnie with a smile on her face and she yanked Bonnie up off the ground and dragged her over to Katherine's side "Now be a good little witch and let Kat drain you dry" Elizabeth smiled and she threw Bonnie down into Katherine's lap

Bonnie tried to get up, but before she knew it, she felt Katherine grab her and she felt Katherine's fangs bite into her neck. All she could do with her last breath was let out a loud, blood curdling scream and she could only hope that someone had heard her. And as the edges of her vision started to get blurry and everything was going dark, she knew she was going to die.

"BONNIE!" Jeremy's voice rang through the tomb and Bonnie clung on to the glimmer of hope that Jeremy would save her as she saw him walk into the tomb with Stefan and Caroline right behind him before she finally went unconscious

"Well, well, look who we have here. A little too late though I think" Elizabeth smiled

Jeremy looked over and saw Katherine toss aside Bonnie's body like a limp rag doll and she stood up and smiled and wiped the blood off of her face.

"You killed her!" Jeremy hissed at Katherine and he wanted to go stake her now but he felt Caroline hold him back

"Oops" Katherine smiled "You know, I was actually having a nice peaceful death. It was nice. But, I suppose the world isn't ready for me to just sit and decay just yet. I couldn't have gotten out of there by myself, so, I would like to thank you Elizabeth for getting me out of there"

"No problem" Elizabeth said

"Oh, I haven't said thank you yet" Katherine smiled and in a flash Katherine pinned Elizabeth up to a wall and Jeremy saw that Katherine had he hand shoved into Elizabeth's chest "Thanks" Katherine purred and ripped out Elizabeth's heart and threw it down to the ground just as Elizabeth's lifeless body fell down to the ground and everyone was starring at her in shock "What? She was going to try to make me work for her. I don't work for anyone except myself"


Elena was sitting on the couch in the living room with Damon sitting there, still holding her in place on the couch as if she were still going to try to escape. It crossed her mind, but she figured they had gotten to Bonnie already and they were in the middle of the action right now, so it would be useless to go now.

"I'm not going anywhere Damon" Elena sighed

"You know if you're lying I can catch you, right?" Damon asked

"I know" Elena huffed and Damon finally let go of her

"Sorry I had to do that, but there was no way I was letting you go" Damon sighed

"It's fine now I guess" Elena mumbled and snuggled up close to Damon now "I hust hope they got to her in time"

"I'm sure they did" Damon said "They usually always do have pretty good timing" Damon smiled, "Just don't worry about it"

"Kinda hard not to" Elena sighed

"Once they come back, if they didn't take care of Elizabeth, then we'll kill her and everything will be fine again. We can start focusing on other things" Damon said

"Like us?" Elena asked

"Yeah, that'd be a nice change" Damon smiled and kissed Elena on the forehead

"What about if she let's Katherine out?" Elena asked

"We'll take care of her too" Damon said

"…Okay" Elena sighed


A/N: Okay, first off, sorry this is a really short, really crappy chapter. I just wrote something quick while I was putting up my Christmas decorations. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not dead! I just haven't been writing my fanfiction month with everything going on and I was trying to wait for TVD to come back on tonight to get some inspiration back for these stories ;) So, everything should get back to normal soon hopefully.

Oh, and I'm also working on a Stefan/Katherine story for Thor's Right Hand Dude, I just wanted to let you know that I'm working on it, I got half of chapter one done so far on it, I've just been distracted with Thanksgiving and starting to do things for Christmas and it's just been hectic :P But I promise to have that up really soon for you :) I just have to update my other stuff too since I haven't been writing much in the past few days.

And I thought I'd add this so you guys won't freak out, no, Bonnie is not dead. :)

I love you guys! xoxoxoxoxo, Avril
