Thanks to Courtney for Beta-ing this chapter for me again :D She deserves a shoutout-Read her stories, they're amazing-her username's Cdaye8184
This chapter picks up from what the last one left off.
Damon had Klaus pinned to a tree, hitting him furiously even though it didn't even begin to shake him, of course. Tears were streaming down his cheek, the innocent angel he loved was just killed in front of him.
The weather played a part in this too, and rain started to pour heavily. Lightning and thunderstorms followed. And then, out of nowhere, he saw Bonnie, his friend and witch Bonnie, who was trying to calm him down. Had Stefan contacted her in some way?
He didn't even know what was going on. He realized, however, that Bonnie's magic was making Klaus have an aneurysm. He rushed to Elena, who was now lifeless on the ground, and cradled her head. No, it couldn't be.
The world enclosed on him, and everything turned black.
Present Day
"I don't know what happened," Jenna finished, "All that Miranda told me was that you passed out. When you woke up the next morning, you didn't recognize any of them, except for Bonnie. You attacked your brother, and told him that you hated him for taking Katherine away from you. We couldn't understand, you didn't even mention Elena's name once. You left."
Damon was speechless. Most of all, he was confused. What the hell happened to him? He couldn't remember. But what haunted him was not this…If Elena died then…
"I can't understand," Damon swallowed thickly. "Elena…"
She was crying. She couldn't even face him.
"Damon…I think I should tell you how Elena ended up living with me." Jenna cleared her throat, facing him. "If you want to hear it that is."
Damon nodded his head weakly, afraid of the truth that was about to come out and he almost hesitated in nodding but his eyes urged her to carry on quickly.
Jenna cleared her throat and a look of sadness washed over her as she began to talk about her dear, sweet, powerful sister.
"For years, I knew that Miranda was a witch. I thought that I inherited magic but, as it turns out; I'm a fragile human" She chuckled trying to ease the tension knowing that it couldn't possibly be easy for Damon to hear this.
"Miranda knew that the world of the supernatural was not an easy one, so despite the bond we had, she decided to leave me. She was afraid that if something happens, I'll become a victim."
She cleared her throat again, her eyes watery. "She kept in touch at first. She called me and sent letters. Two years after her departure, she sent me a letter where she told me how deeply she missed me, and she told me that she needed someone to talk to. She said that she was returning to town for a few days. I remember we met in a café and she told me about a handsome guy she was planning to marry soon. She was in love," Jenna smiled, looking at Elena. "She loved your father very much. Apparently he had wanted to marry her for a long time but because of her lifestyle…She was scared that she would never be able to have a normal family."
Jenna paused, looking at Elena, who urged her to continue.
"She started to cry and told me that she was pregnant. She was sad not because she didn't want your brother Jeremy, but because she was afraid that someone will want to cause him harm. She didn't want to bring him into the world knowing he would be at risk. I assured her that as long as nobody knew her secret, she was safe. However I also urged her to tell Grayson her secret."
When she went back home again, we didn't keep in touch for a while. She had only written one letter when she told me that Grayson had accepted her for who she was, and the baby. Then, when he was born, she invited me to see him. Things were going fine until she was pregnant again with you" She motioned over to Elena who just barely nodded. "After she gave birth to you, she was very weak. I stayed at your house for two weeks and helped her with everything."
Jenna smiled at the memories. "Things quickly changed, though, when I went back. I got a new job, and I was working too much and too hard. We didn't keep in touch any more, except for maybe a call once in a very while. Then, I met Miranda again in 2004. Nine years later."
"I always remember that night. I opened the door and found her, crying on my porch. I couldn't understand what was going on. Seeing your sister after nine years was supposed to be a different reunion. Heart broken, Miranda told me everything that had been going on ever since you were born: Klaus, Jeremy's death…I was heartbroken. Then, she took my hand in hers and with more tears streaming down her cheeks, she told me about you…and Damon. She told me that Klaus succeeded in killing you and your dad."
Jenna wiped tears that streamed freely down her cheeks. "She loved you so much, Elena. She couldn't let you go. She told me that when you died, she had used her necklace to contact the spirits. She begged them to bring you back, but they didn't want to help. They said that nature couldn't be unbalanced. With tears and hate in her eyes, she told me that she had turned to the evil spirits to help her and they did-However, in return she had to give them her powers, in the symbol of one necklace."
"The deal was done. The spirits knew that your mother had the strongest necklace, and they were aiming to destroy everything which was considered good and gentle. They said that they couldn't bring you back instantly because things took time. They told her to bury you and when the time comes, she had to be prepared."
"She did. She spent two years living with me, and she spent days, sometimes nights, next to your grave. She was always writing in the journal that I gave you, Elena. That was hers. She also wrote the story of your death using symbols, hoping that someday when you grow up you'll forgive her for leaving you unprotected. She knew that with the deal she made, she was going to be damned, since a witch is supposed to turn to good spirits, not the evil ones."
She left my house, trying to cope on her own. She spent a year alone, ignoring my calls, visits…Then, in 2007, she called me. She told me that the spirits kept their promise. You were back, healthy as ever but you were back as a nine year old. It didn't mater that time had passed."
Damon swallowed, sudden things rushing into his mind at once. It made perfect sense now. Elena was supposed to be three years older than she was. She was supposed to be brought back as a twelve years old, but the spirits brought her back as a nine year old…
That's why she had two pictures of different dates taken when she was nine years old!
Damon's head was spinning. This was all too much to handle. Questions invaded his mind…How could he not remember?
"When she told me that I must take Elena, I thought that by that she meant bringing you up together. But when she came here, she told me that she didn't want to give the necklace to the spirits anymore, because she realized that doing so could cause innocent people getting hurt, including you, since you're the last heir of the Petrova blood. Of course, the spirits didn't take it lightly. Spirits had a way to use humans, or in this case, vampires. They turned to Klaus and asked for his help. He immediately knew that you were back and he swore a vendetta right that second. Miranda knew that the only way to keep you safe was to let you go…Of course, she left you her necklace and told me to help you find the other three and give them to the good spirits in return for forgiveness. She didn't want you two to be damned."
"A couple of years later, a man rang our bell. He said that his name was Stefan Salvatore," Jenna eyed Damon. She was now smiling, the tears finally starting to subside. "He told me that he was there to help. He knew about your existence, and he brought a witch, Bonnie-with him. The witch apparently had a vision of your return. She said that the good spirits wanted to balance nature again…and they wanted you dead."
A lump formed in Jenna's throat. "Bonnie told them if there was another way, and after a few days of thinking, they said that they wanted the necklaces and you can help them get those necklaces. They said that by having their hands on the necklaces, there will be balance-Klaus wouldn't be able to kill witches and he would be just another original vampire. They also said that without the necklaces, no witch can be too strong. They believed that with your Petrova bloodline, you could help them get the necklaces back."
"It's true," Elena finally spoke. "I do have special powers sometimes. I was able to sense that Damon was more than human the first time that I entered his house. I also felt a strange connection to the place where Damon and I found a few days ago. I found the second necklace there, along with the date May 23rd, 2009."
"I don't know what that date means…" Jenna bit her lip. "All I know is that we're here now, and Klaus will repeat history. He wants you dead and he wants the necklaces for himself. He's too obsessed with power…"
"What about the mark in her back?" Damon suddenly asked, "What does that mean?"
"I remembered how I got that," Elena swallowed. "It's not pleasant."
"Elena, right now my head is spinning," Damon said as he began to count the information he had just learned on his fingers. "You're supposed to be seventeen years old, the evil spirits and Klaus want you, the good spirits want you to give them the fucking necklaces…I think I can handle a mark on your back."
"Fine," Elena continued. "I told you I was kidnapped more than once. That mark was done by one of the vampires. It's called the bloodbond symbol. Klaus wanted to bind my blood to his to torture me and connect with my mind. That explains the dreams I was having about him killing me. That was his way of being able to follow me everywhere I go…He had an eye on me all this time, Damon. Now he's bored of waiting for me to get the necklaces and he wants to end my life-Again."
"I won't let him," Damon swore. "This has to be over. We'll find the necklaces, Elena, and I'll get you both out of here, I swear to God…"
"I wouldn't swear if I were you," Klaus smirked, suddenly appearing between them. "So, now that you know the entire story, is there anything more to add?"
"Go to Hell, Klaus," Damon spat, his eyes menacing. He wanted to rip that bastard apart for everything he'd done. For ruining their life, Elena's life.
Klaus flashed next to Elena and yanked her upwards, pulling her hair so tightly that her scalp started to burn. "This girl is the reason why you are the weak vampire you are today," He spat, holding her like a rag doll. "You're so weak it disgusts me. I won't let you, though. I already compelled you once, I can easily do it again…I think it would be lovely to see you kill Elena…" He laughed evilly.
Before Damon could ask what he meant by "Compelled you once" Klaus took Elena away, the evil smirk still in place, and he felt a vervain dart going into his arm.
"I had a vision, Stefan," Bonnie didn't even give him the chance to open the door properly. "Your brother's in danger. Even Elena. He knows about her, Damon…He knows that she died."
"What?"
"There is no time for this, Stefan…"
"Does he know about our deal? About the spirit part?"
Bonnie bit her lip. "He only knows half of it. What Jenna knows."
"And Elena…?"
Bonnie closed her eyes. "The witches told her. She knows she isn't going to be alive for too long. I can't do anything more to save her, Stefan."
"It's not fair. We had a deal, "It's not fair. We had a deal. Bonnie you said you would do everything you can."
"I know," Bonnie mumbled. "But it's clear. Evil is taking everything away from them. There are too many witches that turned to evil. They want it to end. They don't want Elena here." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "But I do. I don't care what they say, I'm going to help your brother and my friend right now."
"And I'm coming with you," Stefan said, determined.
