Chapter Twelve:
This time, Fells' Bonnie didn't even try to hold the tears back. She was sobbing softly, ignoring the others, who were trying to comfort her. She wasn't the only one crying, Mystic's Elena was wiping away some tears of her own. She stomped up to Fells' Elena and, shockingly, raised her hand and slapped her across the face, leaving behind her red hand-print.
Fells' Elena clutched her cheek, eyes wide, as Mystic's Elena growled, "I thought we were friends!" Then she slid past them and as she passed Mystic's Damon she snapped, "And you, Damon? I can't even..." She hurried up the stairs before everyone heard a door slam. Mystic's Damon turned to glare at Fells' Damon and Elena, who were still standing next to each other, Damon's hand snaked around Elena's waist.
"This was not part of the plan."
"Your plan was stupid anyway!" Elena yelled back angrily.
"What plan?" Fells' Matt muttered but they ignored him. Mystic's Damon stepped closer to Elena and said sharply, "At least I can still make things right between my Elena and I. I'll just tell her the truth and she'll forgive me and we can be happy again. But you?" He chuckled darkly, "You're screwed, princess. Because you might not have kissed him before, but this time you did. And everyone saw it." Then he raced up the stairs before Fells' Elena could object. Then she understood the meaning of his words and she sighed, dropping her face into her hands. What have I done?
"I wish I'd never come back" Elena whispered.
Damon tilted her chin up, so that she was looking at him, "Hey don't say that... Damon's wrong... Things will be okay. It's going to take awhile, but you know... we'll get through it. They all hate both of us... At least we can take the heat together" Damon gave her a half smile.
"Thank you Damon... but somehow I think I'll get even more orange juice down my shirt and you'll just get ignored" Elena frowned.
"Okay so we'll have to deal with crazy stuff, but don't worry, I'm here for you" Damon hugged her and she sobbed into his shoulder.

The next morning no one said a word to either Fells' Damon or Elena. Mystic Damon and Elena seemed to be at least on speaking terms again, but she was still angry. Elena walked upstairs to get dressed and found that all of her stuff was thrown in a pile outside of their door. She bit her lip and picked it all up, carrying it down to the basement for now. She got dressed in the bathroom downstairs and by the time she was done saw that everyone had left.
"Hey Damon-" Elena started but gasped when she saw Fells' Stefan standing in front of her. "Elena... I'm not going to hurt you... I promise... can I drive you to school?" Stefan begged. "Stefan... no... just... no. This is all your fault anyway. We're covering for you." Elena snapped, pushing past him.
"I'll tell everyone the truth" Stefan said flatly.
Elena hesitated, "It won't change anything... I actually DID kiss Damon and he did kiss me back." Elena bit her lip and kept walking. Stefan put his head against the wall thinking. Nothing was going right. He froze. The only time crazy things like this happened was the last time Sinichi and Misao were in their lives. "Damn Kinsune" Stefan huffed.
"Elena!" He called as he jogged after her, "Wait, please!" He reached her just as she was about to drive away in her rental car.
"What, Stefan?" Elena snapped, but she was obviously still afraid of him because she didn't even roll down the window.
"It's the Kinsune Twins!"
"What?"
"A malach, Elena! The malachs, remember them?" Elena's mind went back to the time that Damon had been possessed by one of the malachs. He'd been forced to do horrible things to her and Matt. Which meant that Stefan had not had control of his body when he tried to rape her. She pushed the door open and stumbled out, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.
"Oh, Stefan." She whispered as tears filled her eyes, "I knew that you'd never do something like that!"
He hugged her back, "I'm so sorry, Elena."
She pulled away, wiping her eyes, a grin on her face. "I'm not going to school today." "Why not?"
"We're getting that malach out of you before you do something else, something that could really hurt someone."

The day had passed by really slow for Mystic's Elena. She couldn't stop thinking about what Damon had told her. He'd chased after her, ignoring her
"Go away!" He'd come into the bedroom and she'd hurried into the bathroom, locking herself in there. "I'm not coming out till you leave!" She'd yelled stubbornly, "You big jerk!"
"Open the door, Elena, please." He'd begged. But she didn't budge and finally he'd sighed and said, "At least listen to me, okay? Elena has this really terrible secret. I over-heard her and Damon talking about it so I decided to black-mail her. I told her that she had to lie and tell everyone that Damon and her had something going on. It wasn't true though."
"What does that have to do with the blood swapping?" Elena had demanded. She didn't really care about any of that. Sure, she felt bad for poor little Bonnie who's heart was more than broken but now she had her own problems to deal with.
"And I...well, I sort of made her my personal blood-bank. But there was no exchanging blood! I swear! I never once gave her even a single drop of my blood. I only drank her blood when I was thirsty. That's it. That was the deal. I would never hurt you Elena."
She was shaken out of her thoughts by a loud 'Ring'. The final bell, she realized, gathering her notebooks and dropping them into her bag. She hurried out before she could get lectured by her Oceanography teacher for not paying attention in class. She met up with Mystic's Bonnie halfway to the gym and repeated to her what Damon had said.
"So you're not angry at Damon anymore?" Bonnie asked as they reached the locker room.
"A little." Elena admitted, shrugging, "But I guess I understand. You know how he is. Of course he'd take advantage of the fact that he knew something he wasn't supposed to know."
"True." Bonnie agreed as she punched in the combination to her locker and the metal door swung open, "But what about the blonde Elena?" Elena's brown eyes darkened as she pursed her lips and Bonnie knew she'd hit a nerve.
"I still don't like her." She answered simply, "Her secret might be bad and everything and I get it if she doesn't want anyone to know but she still kissed her best friend's boyfriend. And that's something that won't be forgiven easily since Bon is a good friend of mine now too."
Bonnie was about to respond when they heard a sudden crunching sound and an in-human like growl. They both froze; Elena in her cheerleading skirt and her bra, Bonnie already fully dressed. "What was that?" Elena asked rather shakily.
"I...I don't know." Bonnie replied quietly.
"There it is again!" Elena cried, clutching her friend's arm as the growl came closer.
"I'll go see what it is." Bonnie stepped forward and Elena reached out to pull her back, "Bonnie, no! Let's wait until someone else comes! We're here too early anyway!" But she was already turning the corner of the lockers. Her green eyes widening, she opened her mouth and let out a horrifying shriek.

"How do we get the malach out?" Stefan asked as he laid out on the floor of the basement. "Well... um last time I had to pull it out of Damon with my fingernails. It's going to hurt... Just a warning" Elena gave a small smile. Stefan rolled over so that he was laying on his stomach. Elena stroked his hair gently, "I'm going to save you Stefan" Elena whispered in his ear. She kissed his cheek gently and looked for the small bump on the back of his neck. She was about to pinch it, as she did the last time, but Stefan suddenly grabbed her and flipped her over.
"Not going to be so easy this time princess" He hissed. Elena looked into his eyes and saw a flicker of red pass through them.
"Stefan... don't do this... I know you're in there somewhere Stefan... Please Stefan..." Elena begged.
He laughed, "Oh dear Elena... you're so cute thinking I haven't gotten stronger. I'm going to destroy everything around your little group of friends, then I'll destroy all of you." he smirked. "Sinichi... you're not going to get away with this! Why are you possessing Stefan anyway?" Elena snapped.
"I'm possessing him because he was the easiest. Poor Stefan still in love with his Elena... You know Elena, you might want to be careful who you fall in love with... they seem to be the most heartbroken and easiest to control... maybe I'll go for Bonnie next or maybe even Tyler"
"You wouldn't" Elena glared.
"See that's where you're wrong... I'm going to get what I want this time" He smiled sweetly causing Elena to gag.
"You're not getting away with this" Elena said again. "I will save Stefan" She added.
"Right... keep thinking that... meanwhile... I'll just finish what Stefan started last time" He laughed.
"Why make Stefan do it!? Why don't you do it yourself you coward!" Elena shouted.
"Not a bad idea... but Misao would kill me" He smirked again.
Elena glared, "GET OFF" "Not this time" He replied.

Fells' Bonnie was seething as she walked into class and sat down beside Matt. "Hey Bonnie... are you okay" He asked.
"No!" She snapped facing the front.
"Oh" Matt sat back, afraid to say another word.
'How could Elena do this to me? And how could Damon!? He kissed her back right in front of me!' She couldn't believe it. 'Maybe there's something else going on' A kind voice in her head suggested. 'Yeah right! Damon claimed he and Elena were best friends. Best friends don't kiss' Bonnie thought angrily. She opened up her notebook and saw a small, folded piece of paper with her name written across it neatly. She opened it up to read, 'You're right. Best Friends don't kiss. Can you believe that? Your best friend and your boyfriend... Who's to say this was the first time they kissed. Or the last. Damon was in love with Elena... then you came along. You were never enough until one day he gave up on Elena and settled for you. Sucks being second best doesn't it Bonnie. -Sinichi. Bonnie shoved the note away, tears in her eyes.

Mystic's Bonnie staggered back, almost tripping over her own feet as she scrambled to where Elena was standing. "What is it, Bonnie? What's wrong?" Elena asked her friend urgently, shaking her. "She-she's ...eating-" Bonnie stammered, trying to catch her breath, "She's eating a raccoon!" She finally choked out. "
What? Who? Like Stefan drinks their blood?"
Elena started to make her way to the spot where Bonnie had gone but she dug her nails into her arm and pulled her back, "Tina! But no, not like a vampire. Not the blood." Suddenly, there was a hiss and they looked down to see Tina crawling toward them on her feet and hands, like a lizard. Her light hair was disheveled and coated in blood, falling across her face.
"T-tina?" Elena called out softly and the girl looked up. Elena cried out when she saw her face. Blood dripped down the side of her mouth and when her tongue flicked out in another hiss, they noticed that it was sliced into two.
For the tiniest fraction of a second, her eyes flashed an unmistakable red. Horrified, Elena screamed and grabbing Bonnie's wrist, the two of them ran to get to the door with Tina chasing after them. But when they finally reached the door they realized that it was locked.
"How the hell is locked?!" Elena shouted as she pounded on the door with all her strength. They turned to see Tina racing directly toward them on hands and feet like an animal. She was fast. "
Help!" Elena yelled when she realized that Tina was going to attack them, "Help!" She glanced over her shoulder anxiously and saw Tina lunge. Halfway through the air, she fell to the ground, clutching her head. Tina moaned in pain, flopping around like a fish, before she stilled and fell silent. Elena turned to meet her best friend's green eyes with a wild gasp.
"I...I think I killed her."

"Stefan, please!" Elena cried, kicking and squirming as he pinned her down like a dog on the ground and ripped off her shirt. She hit his chest and tried to kick him but he only took this opportunity to unzip her jeans and pull them off. Elena tilted her head back and let out a huge shriek, "HELP!" Suddenly, the concrete door was shaking and the locks were rattling loudly. Elena looked over to see Fells' Damon desperately trying to get the door open. "Damon, help me!" Elena called out weakly as Stefan left a trail of kisses on her stomach.
"Where are the keys?" He called back immediately, his voice urgent.
"Right here." Another smooth voice said from outside. She caught a glimpse of Mystic's Damon standing beside Fells' Damon, that smirk of his plastered across his face. I'm dead for sure this time. Elena thought furiously, He hates me. He won't help save me. Suddenly she was all too aware of the breeze that floated across her bare back and she realized that Stefan had unclasped her bra. She grabbed her bra and kept it pressed to her body before she gathered all of the Power she had and sent it to her right palm, where she raised it and slapped Stefan so hard across the face her hand stung.

Bonnie fought back tears until the final bell rang. She jumped out of her chair and ran into the bathroom finally letting out the tears she'd been holding in. 'How did he know?' Bonnie asked herself thinking back to the note that had her worst fear written across it from the devil himself. She took a deep breath and was able to stand up and wipe her tears away. She walked with her head held high to practice like nothing had happened.

"Give me the fucking keys!" Fell's Damon shouted to the other.
"I don't know about that" Mystic Damon smirked.
"Are you kidding me!? She's about to get raped! Give me the god damn keys!" Fells Damon shouted, his dark eyes blazing with fury.
"but this is-" Mystic's Damon didn't have time to respond before The other tackled him to the ground and wrenched the keys from his hands. Elena scrambled up from the stunned Stefan and rushed into Damon's arms.
"Oh god Damon!" Elena gasped hugging him, tears were streaming down her face."Hes possessed" She sobbed. Damon didn't reply and instead held her close, stroking her hair.
"What the hell!?" Meredith asked coming in and seeing Elena practically naked on top of Damon. Stefan was now gone and so was Mystics Damon.
Thank you all for reading and the next chapter will be either a diary/journal entry from each of the characters as to their motives for certain things or a thought session. I hope you enjoyed this chapter... until next time.
