A\N I'm writing this on my windows notepad because my computer is being repaired and this one doesn't have Microsoft Office yet :/ So please, bear with me and also please review because I'm doing such a sacrifice for you readers-Because those that know me know how much I HATE this program. It's like torture writing here, I don't know why.
So please, it only takes five seconds to review ;)
"There is no use in trying to run," Duncan whispered harshly to Elena as he practically threw her off, and Elena closed her eyes, her tied arms shooting out as much as possible to protect her tummy. However she landed on a soft surface and she soon realized she was on a king-size bed and Duncan was hovering above her, smirking. "Everyone in this hotel is compelled."
The ropes were too tight that Elena was sure that she was going to have bruises later. She was scared, she already knew what Duncan was capable of. He had
already made Damon torture her once, and she couldn't stop thinking of all the bad things he could do to her and she couldn't afford that-She was carrying a baby now, a fragile little human being inside her which have to be safe from anything that can physically hurt him.
Duncan approached on her, taking the scarf roughly out of her mouth but he didn't untie her hands.
"Do you want to know why you are here, sweetheart?"
Elena didn't respond, her eyes looking down to avoid his cold he couldn't have that-This was all just a game to him. He forced her chin up again. "Answerme, girl. Do you know why you're here?"
"No," Elena's voice cracked.
"Well, you're about to find out yourself," Duncan grinned, "As Klaus will be paying you a visit in a few minutes."
Damon looked at the clock for the tenth time. What was taking her so long? The appetizers were already served, and she still didn't appear. He thought that maybe she was having a hard time with pregnancy and that was acceptable, but he was getting tensed now. He raised from the table, making his way to the women's bathroom, earning a few glares from the ladies that saw him do this.
"Elena? Are you okay?"
No response.
"Elena, do you want to go home? We can go home if you don't want to stay..."
Again, there was no reply. This time, Damon's protective instincts kicked in. Without a second thought, he roughly opened the bathroom doors but to his horror, Elena was in neither one of them.
He immediately called her, but there was no answer.
A small little girl then appeared behind him, looking shy at first, but then she turned to him, "Excuse me, mister, are you looking for someone?"
"Yes," Damon turned to her, "A brunette, thin pretty girl. Do you know where she went?"
"A man took her out of that door," The girl pointed to the right, "Turn on the right. But don't tell my mummy I talked to you, she doesn't like when I talk to strangers."
Even though the situation was very bad at all, Damon couldn't help but notice how incredibly sweet the girl was. He almost imagined his own daughter like this.
"Thank you, sweetie," He smiled at the girl, "And I promise that I won't tell."
"Why are you doing this to me? Why do you want me dead so much?"
"Don't you understand, Elena?" Duncan turned around to touch her face, "You are the only person on this Earth that can extinct us. Bringing you to Klaus would make me his biggest ally. We would create our own race, and hunt down your miserable human existence."
Elena felt both relief and fear take over her. She felt relieved because based on his words, he didn't seem to know anything about the baby. But then, fear was slowly taking over her. What if he just kills her coldly and then deliver her body to Damon? What if he tortures her and her baby before he does? And most of all, she didn'twant her baby to die. She wanted Stephanie to help her save her daughter, even if it meant giving up her life for her child.
Before any of them could continue, though, there was a sudden blur and a tall, thin blonde man appeared in front of them. Elena bit back a gasp at the sudden appearance and immediately Duncan kneeled down. "Klaus."
It didn't take Damon very much before he managed to catch up with Elena's scent. It was like his body was connected to hers, because no vampire could catch up with a scent this fast.
He didn't even care that he was practically using his vampire speed in front of people, all he cared about was to track Elena down. He shouldnt've brought her to the restaurant, if anything happened to her he wouldn't live with himself. He was almost positive that it was Stefan's doing. Damon looked disgusted, if he laid one fingeron her he swore he'll rip his head off.
"Duncan," Klaus smiled pleasantly as he gave him a light hug and a pat on the back. "Such a pleasure to work with you."
"Pleasure is mine, Klaus," Duncan replied.
Klaus got a glimpse of Elena, still frozen on the bed, and he immediately pulled away to examine her. When Elena saw him coming she immediately jerked back, her back hitting the headboard painfully.
"Elena Gilbert..." Klaus approached her like a stalking beast, his gaze so blatant and cold that Elena's heart started to beat faster with each foot he took towards her.
"My precious doppelganger," He smiled, sitting down next to her, examining her from head to toe. "My dear friend, why did you keep the girl trussed up? You know we need her perfectly healthy," He turned to Duncan, and the latter immediately walked to Elena and untied her hands.
"Seems like my old ally betrayed me after all," Klaus smirked, running his finger down Elena's arm. "Tell me, princess, what did Stefan tell you exactly?"
Elena's breath caught in her throat. Klaus was already one step ahead of them. Klaus felt her tense up and he moved his lips to her ear, murmuring, "There is no use of hiding from me, Elena. I know about your pregnancy. You belong to me, of course I know..."
"She's pregnant?" Duncan's eyes widened, "You didn't mention this in our deal, Niklaus..."
"Duncan, I think your job is done," Klaus said firmly. "We will discuss our agreement later."
"No, we shall discuss the matter now," Duncan barked, "You didn't mention this in our agreement. I'm not stupid, I know that this is not possible! You want her for her powers, don't you?"
"You have been a good ally," Klaus announced, "But now it's time for you to die."
Without warning, Klaus reached out for the stake in his pocket and in a blur, the stake was in Duncan's heart, and Elena screamed at the bloody, unexpected scene in front of her. Klaus wiped his bloodied hand with a tissue and turned to Elena calmly.
"Y-you k-killed him," Elena whimpered, how could he do that when less than two seconds before he was hugging the guy?
"Yes, I did," Klaus smirked, "I think it is a good warning for you if you try to run. I may not be able to kill you whenever I please because everything has rules, but I can enjoy myself by torturing your loved ones."
She shivered involuntarily, and Klaus smiled, amused. He got uncomfortably closer to her and touched a loose strand of her hair. "It's okay, Elena. I'm not going to kill you yet."
"Please," Elena begged, "Take me. But let my baby be born, she is innocent..."
He ignored her pleas. "Tell me, what did Stefan tell you?"
"He just said that he wanted to help us protect her."
"Did he tell you why?" Klaus said with a cold look, "Did he tell you why he wanted the baby safe?"
"No," Elena croaked, "Is there a reason?"
"Humans, so stupid," Klaus laughed a devilish laugh. "Because Stefan hates me, Elena. He only worked with me to gain Katherine back. I know that he wants to kill me, but if he does, the chance to free Katherine would die with me. But somehow your precious little girl's blood is special. He can use her powers to free Katherine."
"It's better than killing us both because of your precious desire to be powerful and feared," Elena spat.
"Do you honestly think that he would keep you both around when he gets Katherine?"
"Why not?"
"Because he's Stefan, Elena. And Stefan is not yet over the sibling rivalry."
Klaus paused. "Don't you get it, Elena? Your blood and your girl's blood is special. This fight was written long before you were born. I won't let my race come to an end because of one stupid doppelganger and a child that isn't even born."
This time Elena felt fury building up inside her body. It was like she couldn't control her own actions. Without a warning, Klaus's bones twisted in an odd angle, causing him to scream in pain. The blood in his veins warmed up, and he felt pain in his entire body.
"Don't ever speak about my baby like that," Elena said in a voice that was definitely not hers.
"Stop it," Klaus groaned, "Or I'm ripping your head off right now, I swear to..." However all that came out next was a loud scream of pain as he felt himself burning.
"Go on, torture me," Klaus screamed, "This is all just a pathetic game to me. Do you think you can possibly win? I will have that child, Elena, and it will be dead before you can even stop me-"
"Elena!" Another voice came in the room, and Elena seemed to visibly relax and Klaus's pain ended. It was Damon that came in the room, and he grabbed Elena and blurred her out of the motel room.
However they didn't miss Klaus's scream, "Till the next full moon, Elena..."
"What is going on?" Jeremy asked Bonnie and Alaric who were talking quietly in an abandoned room.
"The device is almost ready to use," Bonnie explained, "I had help from witches on the other side."
"What? I thought it was going to take a few months," Jeremy said startled, he wanted to warn Elena and Damon about the device. If that device effected Damon, he would either be staked at the place or tortured to death in some kind of vampire cell, leaving Elena unprotected.
"No, it's ready," Bonnie said, seeming resigned. "It will be used as soon as we are positive it works, and we will end them all. The first to go will be those in Tennessee."
"Good," Jeremy managed to choke out. "I think I'll better go warn the others about our situation."
As soon as Jeremy got out of the room, he immediately took his phone out, trying to make a missed call to Elena to call him back. But as soon as he was about to speak, he felt pressure on his head, and then he was positive that he heard Alaric's voice, "He's working against us, Bonnie."
As soon as they arrived in their little cottage, Damon laid Elena down on the couch. "Did he hurt you?"
"I'm fine," Elena mumbled, tears flashing in her eyes. "I am so sorry, Damon..."
"Shh, you have nothing to be sorry for," He hushed her, welcoming her in a warm embrace. "We will kill him, Elena, I promise you."
"No we won't," Elena sobbed, "He is too strong and ruthless..."
"Shh, Elena..."
"Damon, I have to tell you something," Elena turned to him, "I made a deal with Stephanie. I want her to cut off the tie there is between our baby and me. I don't want my baby having any of my powers inside of her. He will kill her, Damon...Stephanie told me. If our baby is born. Klaus can't touch her before she has fulfilled her own powers to take him down. But I am scared, Damon...If he kills her before she's born, she's defenseless...He'll also kill me..."
Damon withdrew back, shocked. "Elena, what are you saying?"
"I'm not going to watch as my baby dies in my womb, Damon. And I'm not going to watch her grow up fulfilling some stupid powers and then watching her end this with Klaus. I shall be the one that kills Klaus after Cheryl is born."
"Elena..."
"No, Damon, please listen. I don't want her having my powers. It's a fight between me and Klaus. Stephanie will train me, will help me know myself, my gift. My blood is extraordinary, Damon, even Klaus said it..."
"What you're doing is you being a martyr," Damon suddenly exploded- "You can't do that, Elena, you have a 50\50 chance of survival..."
"If I don't, then Cheryl will be the one that have that chance..."
"Elena, I'm not going to let you sacrifice yourself, we'll find another way!"
Elena turned red with anger. "Damon, do you want to hold our baby or not?"
"I told you I won't let him touch her!"
"But he will when she is old and ready! As a child, she doesn't have that power and she's protected..but we don't know what will happen! This is her fight if she has those fucking powers!"
Damon silenced, and Elena's tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm sorry-"
"No, Elena, I don't want to hear your apologies," Damon said, resigned, "What you're doing is leaving me alone. How can I ever love Cheryl if you die?" With that, he blurred away from her.
Those words were like daggers pressed to Elena's heart. She curled into a ball on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
She was scared and lost.
