Hi everyone! After some serious thinking and looking at previous
reviews, I've decided to abandon this story (sorry to those who
hoped I'll continue it!) and focus on my upcoming fanfics and
"Eternity Lost". However, I will end it with one final chapter,
which you can read below. Thank you, again, for all your
continuous support.
Chapter 8 (and final chapter)
There was a eerie silence in the car as Damon and Stefan
drove Elena home. One of them, usually Damon who wasn't
driving the car, occasionally looked back at her, as if to see if she's
all right.
Elena frowned, confused. "Stefan? Damon?" she asked
tentatively.
Silence followed her words as the Salvatore brother glanced
at each other.
"Yes, Elena?" Stefan murmured, his attention turning to her.
"If everything okay? I mean" Elena stopped, answering the
question on her own. Why would anything be okay? The
Originals weren't exactly patient, but could wait for another
time to question her., to hurt her, whatever it would take to get
their information.
The car carefully came to a stop, and Elena realized that they
had reached her home.
Stefan and Damon got out of the car, accompanying Elena up
to her doorstep. There, Elena turned to them.
"I'm sorry for choosing to go there, and now you both are
caught in this mess as well, I'm so sorry."
"Elena," Damon sighed, reaching out to touch her shoulder.
His touch felt unnatural, strange, yet warm and caring. "We, Stefan
and I, would do everything in our power to help you, to save you.
My dear old brother was the reason you are in this world, even if
you wanted it!"
Before Elena could answer, Stefan spoke up.
"Yes, Elena. I know you have had regrets on this life,
because of the safety of Jeremy and your friends. But we'll be
here."
Elena could feel her tears in her eyes, and turned around so
she was facing her door. "Thank you," she whispered, unlocking her door.
Stepping inside, she gave one last look outside, watching as the ghostly
figures of Stefan and Damon Salvatore disappeared into the night.
The End
