Yikes, tough ending in chapter 6! For those of you who don't know, Miranda Gilbert is Elena's deceased mother. She was in the TV series for flashbacks. And once again, I hope you like the story! Please read and review! Seriously, it may seem like a waste of time, but it only takes a minute or less. Thanks

"Oh my god," Caroline whispers, barely audibly, at the sight of Elena sitting on the ground.

Damon has a blank look on his face. He looks at Caroline, hinting that he has no idea what's going on.

Caroline walks slowly over to Damon and whispers in his ear. "That's Elena's mom. She died in the accident on Wickery Bridge," Caroline tells him solemnly.

Damon nods his head and looks at Stefan, who is frowning as he opens his mouth to call Elena, but there's no sound.

Elena turns to them a moment later, her eyes full of tears at the sight of her dead parents. She stands up and walks away from the mound of bodies, lodging herself in Stefan's open arms. Damon looks away from them.

"Who would do this?" Elena asks Stefan.

"This is bad," Damon declares. "I know everyone in the god damned room! Look, there are Elena's parents, thank you Caroline, Jenna, Alaric, and Isobel. And isn't that Aimee Bradley?" Damon asks, squinting to make out the demented face of the high school girl Katherine had killed.

"It has to be Klaus," Stefan confirms.

"No, not Niklaus," Comes the light voice from behind them. Damon, Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena turn around to see Rebekah standing next to Matt at the end of the tunnel. "Me."

"You're collecting bodies of Elena's deceased acquaintances? Remind me why I slept with you?" Damon frowns at Rebekah as he puzzles over the previous night.

"You needed a wake up call. And I gave you one. Niklaus is not done. But you already knew that. Now that Elena is a vampire, he wants revenge. You knew that too."

"So if we know everything you're telling us, why are you even here?" Damon retorts, trying to make some sense out of the whole situation while still frowning at Rebekah.

"Because you don't know everything. And I want to help."

"Why on Earth would you want to help us?" Damon stares at Rebekah wearily.

"Niklaus may be my brother, but his actions have only made me hate him. Do you know where he is?" Rebekah asks, only to be greeted by five blank faces. "I thought not. And that's why you need me."

"Just because we need you doesn't mean we want you," Damon mutters under his breath and Rebekah shoots him daggers, staring deep into his cold, dark, broken heart.

"Maybe if you were nicer you would make more friends," Rebekah tells him kindly in her pristine British accent before turning around, flipping her hair, and leaving Damon standing in her tracks.

"You guys. Elena," Stefan says, ushering Tyler, Caroline, Bonnie, and Damon to get back to Elena.

"What are we supposed to do?" Caroline whispers, looking around the room for ideas.

"We have to take her home," Stefan says as he slowly starts guiding the teary Elena towards the exit of the cave, away from the mountain of bodies, away from the dead memories.

"We could compel her to forget," Caroline offers up a solution to the pending issue of Elena's depression.

"Yeah, sure. Why don't I ask Rebekah to do it," Damon sneers sarcastically.

"Elijah might be a better choice…"

"No, we aren't compelling her," Stefan declines the option, as he looks at Elena, all helpless and empty inside. "We need to find Klaus. Whatever he's done, we need to fix Elena. She's not herself."

"Well, obviously," Damon stands and heads out of the cave, the others following in his tracks.

"I thought we were onto something. I mean, until we found Elena there by the bodies. She was obviously meant to find it. Why else would I have a vision like that?" Bonnie try's to explain to Stefan and Damon.

"What else can we do?" Damon asks, raising his eyebrows as he looks towards the witch for help.

"Find Klaus. Matt daggered him, but Matt never found out that the daggers don't work on hybrids. So then Klaus faked his death and is running around Mystic Falls."

"How are we going to find him?" Stefan asks Bonnie.

"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem," comes the voice from the doorway. Bonnie, Stefan, and Damon immediately turn around to face Klaus, standing next to Elena who yet again has a confused look on her face. "Looking for me, I presume?"

"What did you do to Elena?" Stefan glares at his old friend.

"Oh, it was merely just a spell. I'm not entirely sure what it did, but I would thank Lilith for the results," Klaus says Damon's eyes widening at the mention of the name Lilith.

"What did she do?" Damon suddenly gets angry as he steps in towards Klaus, ready for the attack if necessary.

Klaus smirks. "I thought you might perk up with the mention of Lilith. You two have very much history," Klaus says and Damon try's to calm down.

"Damon, who's Lilith?" Stefan asks, a worried look on his face as he looks between Klaus, Damon, and Elena.

"An old…friend," Damon says, still glaring at Klaus as he turns and walks briskly out of the room.

"Jeremy!" Damon yells as he walks quickly into the Salvatore Boarding House grand living room.

"Yeah?" Jeremy says, looking at the uptight Damon.

"I need your help."

"Of course you do. But what makes you think I want to help you?"

"Don't get smart on me, kid. And you want to help me so we can get your sister back." Damon retorts.

"Fine. Good enough for me. What do you need?" Jeremy asks, suddenly intent on helping his lost sister.

"You could contact Rose. Remember her friend we told you about? Slater?"

"The guy who knew everything about vampires?" Jeremy clarifies.

"Yeah. I need you to contact him," Damon says.

"Why?"

"Have you ever read any vampire creation myths? I mean, when you were researching vampires after you met Anna, surely you came across a few," Damon asks.

"Yeah, a few. I didn't pay too much attention too them. Just read a few out of interest. But the Originals were the first vampires." Jeremy states.

"Did you perhaps ever come across the name Lilith when reading?" Damon asks, trying to explain the connection to Jeremy.

"Yeah, I vaguely remember something about that. There was a woman name Lilith who made a deal with the devil after leaving Adam or something. I don't really remember the rest," Jeremy tells Damon.

"You're on the right track. Lilith didn't create vampires like it says in the myths, but she was one of the harshest of them all."

"So Lilith was a vampire?" Jeremy concludes.

"No, Lilith is a vampire. And it's best to stay away from her at all costs." Damon looks at Jeremy daringly. "But, we can't if you want to save Elena. I need to contact her, and Slater probably knows."

"I might be able to contact him. But why is Lilith so bad?" Jeremy asks, still confused with the situation.

"You have no idea. I spent forty years with Lilith. We were in New York for twenty years together…"Damon rattles on.

"He's here," Jeremy says out of he blue. "Slater."

"Awesome. Ask him if he knows anything about Lilith, where she is."

"What?" Jeremy asks, looking at thin air. "Slow down… Lilith? No, never."

"What's he saying?" Damon asks Jeremy, growing impatient.

"What do you mean? Oh, god."

"Jeremy!" Damon yells.

Jeremy turns to Damon. "Lilith is said to have died years ago, but she's not dead. She's been living in southern Georgia for the past nineteen years in secret. Slater told me her address."

"You up for a late night road trip?"

"Why late night?" Jeremy asks Damon.

"We can't tell Stefan. He's never met Lilith."

"I guess. What did she do to you? I mean, you obviously don't like her anymore. Why?"

"Lilith is the biggest bitch in the whole universe. You'll know once you meet her. Hard to believe that the most beautiful woman in the world could be such an asshole," Damon sneers, old, regretful memories of his past acquaintance flooding back into his already corrupt, dark mind.

Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! It was really fun to write. There actually is a vampire creation myth about a woman named Lilith who was originally together with Adam, but she didn't "like" him so she left and Eve replaced her. Google it! Actually really interesting. Thanks for reading. Reviews are very much appreciated. And thank you for being patient. I actually finished this chapter a couple days ago, but my Internet connection hasn't been working well so it wouldn't update. Thanks!
