Chapter Five: In dreams we find
Texas-
Damon walked into his home. He killed that guy. He should have stayed out of it, but there was something about that girl. He shrugged it off. What was wrong with him? Why did he feel so out of control?
"Hey," Elenaasked. She stood with her hands in her pockets. "You okay?" She asked concern coating her face.
"I am leaving." Damon said before he knew why he was saying it.
"Okay, I guess I will see you later." Elenasaid not understanding.
"No, Elana. I mean I am leaving town. I am going away." He clarified. Did he really want to leave?
Elena looked at him confused. "Wait Damon," she said slowly trying to understand. "Damon I don't want you to go. I don't understand."
"ElenaI keep killing. I feel...I have to go. Something is off. Something is wrong. I can't stay." He said.
"But," Elenasaid trying to hold back the tears. "Damon please."
Damon went to her. Taking her face in his hands he kissed her. His heart seemed to swell with love. Something so wonderful he could not understand why he wanted to leave. He felt her tears on his hands.
"Elenathis is for the best. I need to find something." He said to her in a whisper.
"What? Maybe I can help you." She said tearfully. She didn't want him to go.
"I don't think you can Elana. I am sorry. I have to go." He said.
"No," Elenawhispered. She blinked and he was gone.
On the road-
Eliyah sat quietly in the front seat. Stefan had insisted they start for home quickly. So they left as soon as they got back to the hotel. Anna had fallen asleep soon after they hit the road. She looked at Anna every once in a while in the mirror. She looked peaceful.
"What are you thinking about?" Stefan asked. He could tell her mind was racing.
She shrugged biting lightly on the inside her lip. "I don't know what Anna is going to do. The FP s will not take her back. We will be separated Stefan. She is the only family I have."
Stefan glanced at her. She called to him. Something about her made him feel like he needed to right all the wrong in her life. "Then don't go back." He said.
"Yeah and what are two sixteen year olds going to do? It's not like we can get jobs and rent a house. People will ask questions." She said with a small laugh.
"I can help. I know some people." Stefan said.
"Really?" Eliyah asked. "You would really do that for us? Why?"
Stefan shrugged. "I guess I am just a good guy," He said making her laugh.
Eliyah thought on it for a moment. "Okay, I will do it." She said looking at Anna in the mirror again.
"You must really care about her." Stefan said, giving her a smile.
"Like I said she is all the family I have. We ended up together when we were two and never been without each other since."
"What of you parents? The others?"
"The others come and go. As far as the FP s, they never cared about us. We are just money to them." Eliyah laughed and shrugged. "They gave me a roof over my head and food on the table. I am grateful for that, but that is where that stops."
"Okay then. Lets get you two a place to stay."
Three years later
Elana's Dreams
Elenastood in the middle of familiar woods although she couldn't quit place where she was. She looked around slowly trying to remember how she had gotten there in the first place. She felt disoriented and confused. Suddenly a fog rolled in clouding her vision.
"Elana!" A man called to her in a playful tone. Her brow pulled together as she tried to see through the fog. The man called to her again. She wanted to go to him. She needed to but she could not see.
"I'm here!" She called out. "I can't see you." The fog started to clear then, just enough that she could see the man who must be calling her. He was handsome with brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. He smiled at her, taking her breath away. She suddenly felt the urge to be in his arms. She needed him.
She took a step forward and the man laughed as he ran away. "You have to catch me." He called to her.
Elenasmiled slightly as she took off after him. She ran through the woods, the wind blowing her air off her face. She smiled. It felt good to run.
Elenastopped short when she found herself in front of a house. It was two floors with a porch. Unable to help herself she walked up the steps. There was something familiar about it. She was about to knock when someone threaded their arm through hers. "There you are Elana," We have been worried. A kid with brown hair and eyes said.
The kid lead her inside the house going straight to a kitchen. Why did all this look familiar? "Oh Elana," A woman with long light hair said. "We are really sorry for last night. You will not catch your teacher almost naked again, I promise."
"Ew." The kid said with a smile. "You caught them at it?"
"No she caught us getting a midnight snack." A man said as he came into the kitchen. He leaned down and kissed the woman on the lips.
"I'm not mad." Elenasaid she hugged the woman. "I am not mad at all, but I have missed you."
"ElenaI have been here. How have you missed me?" The woman asked. Elenacould not answer. She didn't even know how she knew them.
She hugged the guy too. She wanted to cry. She wanted to tell them she loved them, but the words were caught in her throat. "Elana, we are always here. We never let, never will." The guy said giving her a smile.
"Elenait's time to go. I am waiting for you." The kid said. She looked at him. No he wasn't really a kid. He looked to be so grown up, but her heart still saw a kid.
"Where? Where are you waiting for me?" Elenaasked, but her voice was drowned out by the sound of screaming. All three of them had fallen to the floor. She looked around herself frantically. Suddenly the house went up in flames. "No!" She called out. She ran to the kid, but when she tried to touch him she flew back. She tried to get to the woman, but the same thing happened.
"Elenarun," The man said so quietly she barely heard him. She went to him.
"I can't leave you guys. I have missed you so much," She said tearfully. Her heart felt like it was going to explode with grief.
She tried to touch him with hopes she could safe at least one of them. This time everything went black. She was choking, suffocating. Was she in water? She could feel herself scream. No she couldn't be. She tried to move. She tried to swim. She wanted to live. But the darkness deepened and she knew she would be lost.
Strong hands grabbed at her. She felt herself being pulled up. She could see the light at the surface.
Elenasat up in her bed Gasping. Her hand was at her throat as she cried out. She was shaking and out of breath. After a few calming breaths she looked around. She was in her bed. 'Just a dream,' She thought to herself. It was only a dream.
Rebekah's Dreams
"Rebekah dear!" A woman called out with smiles on her face. Rebekah looked at the woman confused. Who was she? She walked to the woman slowly.
"Do I know you?" She asked unsure.
"Oh don't play games you." The woman said still with smiles. "Get cleaned up for supper. The boys shall return any moment." The woman said tuning away.
Rebekah did as she was told. She caught her reflection in the water bowl. She was her, but a younger her. Confused she washed her hands. What was going on? Where was she? Why did she have the want to hug this woman?
"My little sister," A voice said behind her. She turn. A man was smiling at her. She knew him. She knew his face, his voice.
The scene changed then. She was in white with beaded necklaces. She was with another man. He was talking to someone. She looked around herself. They were in a club, one with great music she mused. "This is my Sister Rebekah." They guy she was with said introducing her to a group of people. This wasn't the same brother as the other, but she could tell brother was the right word for him. Though there was some dislike about him.
She took someones hand and the scene changed again. She found herself in a room with a guy. He had short blond hair and pretty blue eyes. He was human. She was right in the middle of having sex with him. She liked it. She couldn't remember who he was, but she liked this. The feel of him on her. With her. He was a good lover.
Just then the door flew open. "I will kill you!" The brother she disliked said. She looked to the guy in the bed. He was no longer the blond boy, but he was a dark-skinned man who flew off the bed at the same moment the brother threw a dagger.
Rebekah woke with a jump. She lay in bed slightly shaky. What was going on with her? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then slipped back into sleep.
Stefan's Dreams
"Stefan...Stefan wake up." A woman said. Stefan opened his eyes. A woman smiled down at him. She had dark hair and brown eyes. "Hey," She said with a smile. She planted a kiss on his lips. He deepened the kiss. He heard her moan, and turned so she was under him. He kissed her still as his hands roamed her. She was so familiar, so soft. She fit under him perfectly. Like they were made for each other. Their lips broke apart and she smiled. "Good morning to you too." She said, making his heart swell with love. He loved her. How could he forget he loves her?
She shifted so she was on top, but she was suddenly gone. Stefan looked at the woman now on top of him confused. She still looked like her, but this woman was different. He did not know how he knew, but she was. He got up quickly leaving the woman frowning on the bed. "Oh come on Stefan. You know you still love me." The woman said with a cocky grin.
"I don't love you. I love her." He said as he dressed. The woman got of the bed in a cat-like manner.
"Oh but Stefan, she loves him. She will always love him." She pointed behind him.
Stefan turned to see who she was pointing at. The View in front of him nearly brought him to his knees. The one he loved was in bed with another man. His eyes teared up as the two made love. He shook his head. "No she is confused. She can't love him." Stefan said looking away.
"I love you Stefan, I always have. I never loved him." The woman said. She put her hand on his cheek before kissing him.
Stefan shook his had stopping the kiss. "No it was never real for me." He told her.
"Elenadoesn't want you!" She snapped.
"Elana? Is that her name?" Stefan asked confused. How had he forgotten that?
"Stefan I am the one who loves you. I am the one who wants you." The other one said.
"He said he doesn't want you." A new woman said. This one he knew.
"Eliyah? What are you doing here?" He asked. She smiled at him as she approached. She took his hand and gave it a gently squeeze.
"I can take away your pain Stefan. I know I cannot replace her, but you can be happy with me." She said.
"But I have not seen you in almost two years.. I left remember?" He said. He had stayed with her and Anna for a while, but he was restless. He needed to search for what he was missing. He hated leaving Eliyah. They had gotten so close.
"Stefan I am not mad you left. I understand. I just need you to know I am here for you. I am in love with you Stefan, and if you want you can love me back."
"She is lying Stefan!" The other girl said. She doesn't love you. She is evil Stefan she wouldn't know love if it punch her in the face.
"They are both wrong." A naked Elenasaid. "No one will ever love you as much as me."
Stefan woke slowly. He rubbed his face with his hands. He hated these dreams. What was the matter with him? He got up looking around slowly. Elenaand Eliyah were constantly on his mid lately. At lest he knew Eliyah. He had no clue who Elenawas. Although he had a nagging feeling that he should.
Caroline's Dreams
"Wait where are you going?" Caroline asked a cop she didn't recognize, but she didn't want the woman to leave.
"Caroline I do not have time for this now. I have to go." The woman said impatiently.
"But I need you to stay. We were doing so good." Caroline begged.
"Caroline stop begging. It's not very attractive." A dark haired man said with pretty blue eyes. She was no longer standing on the street, but she was now in a bar looking place.
"Do I know you?" She asked the guy.
"Care there you are, I have looked everywhere for you." A blond guy said. He took her in his arms and kissed her. When they pulled apart she was no longer with the blond guy, but with a dark-haired guy. His eyes were odd like they belonged to an animal. She pulled away.
"Caroline you hurt me." A familiar voice said. She turned to it. Klaus was standing near her. He looked like he was crying. She felt sick to her stomach. Why did she feel like she was in love with him? She was his sister for crying out loud.
"You know that is not true." A girl said. Caroline looked over to the voice. A girl with long dark hair was standing next to her. "You know that none of this is true." She continued.
"I know you." Caroline said shocked. "I know your face."
The girl looked like she was going to answer, but she was suddenly stabbed in the chest. She let out a small gasp before falling to the ground.
"No!" Caroline called out. She got to her knees. "No don't die!" Caroline cried.
"You know she is right. None of this is real." Another voice said.
Caroline looked up, her brow pulling together. "Bonnie?" She said unsure how she knew her.
Bonnie smiled. "It's working." She said as tears came to her eyes. "Caroline you need to wake up."
"But Bonnie, I am not asleep." Caroline said confused.
"Caroline wake up. You have to wake up!" Bonnie yelled.
Caroline started to choke. She felt like someone was shaking her. What was going on?
"WAKE UP CAROLINE!"
Caroline's eyes flew open. She looked around shocked. Her home was on fire and someone was standing over her. "Bonnie?" She asked.
"You know me?" Bonnie said surprised. She shook her head. "Come on we need to get out of here." Bonnie said.
Once they were outside Caroline stopped. "Bonnie?" She said again. Bonnie nodded. Caroline sat on the damp ground. "I remember."
Elijah's Dreams
"It can't be," He said as he stood in the door to Hayley's room. She was standing near the bed with a huge smile on her face.
"It has to be." She said happily. "I have missed you Elijah," She said.
"Oh I have missed you to." He said, going to her. He took her in his arms. "You have no idea."
Her arms went around him. "I think I do." She whispered. She kissed him softly and was delighted when he kissed her back.
Elijah kissed her softly. He needed this. He needed to know she would be okay. That she really did love him. Suddenly she want limp in his arms. "Hayley?" He said feeling sick to his stomach. He looked at her and there was blood everywhere. "No!" He yelled.
He looked around him. There was blood and bodies everywhere. He shook his head. Did he do this? Was this his fault?
"You should have killed him when you had the chance." A blond woman said. She walked up to him looking around. "We both should have."
"Why? Why didn't we?" He asked her.
"Because we love him Elijah. We always love him." She said giving him a sad smile.
"Did he...Did he do this?" Elijah asked. He fell too his knees taking Hayley down with him.
"Elijah we did this. We are responsible. We should have killed him." The woman said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"We should have killed him."
Elijah woke with a start. He had fallen asleep in his reading chair. The book he was reading had fallen to the floor. He laughed to himself. That is the kind of dream he gets for reading war stories before sleep.
Damon's Dream
"Damon help me!" She yelled from inside a church. "Please I don't want to die!"
Damon ran to her. "Hold on I will save you!" He yelled. He looked around frantically for anything that could save her. What could he use? He spotted and ax a few feet away. He ran to it, but when he turned back around the church was gone. Confused he looked around. What was happening?
"I tricked you." The woman who was in the church said she looked like Elana, but he knew she wasn't. Her words cut him like knives. "I never loved you Damon. She never loved you either." The woman pointed behind him.
He turned around and saw Elenathere. "I don't understand." He said to her.
"I'm sorry Damon," She said tearfully. "I never meant to hurt you. I was confused and hurt because of him. I never wanted this. I never thought this would happen. I guess I am no better than her." Elenafell to her knees.
Another girl approached behind her. She went down next to her. "You are nothing like her." She said to the girl, then looked up at Damon. "This too shall pass Damon Salvatore. She was only a step in the right direction. She opened you up to love. For your soul mate will be unexpected. You will resist you will not understand at first, but that to shall pass. You will love you. You will have little choice. Be warned, Damon. She is a wanted woman and time with her may be short. You alone can save her."
"What? No I love Elana. You are confused." Damon protected.
"This is true, but you know you can't have her. She doesn't belong with you." The girl said.
"You are lying. I have only ever loved Elana." He said knowing he was lying. He knew he loved the Elenalook-alike two, but he didn't anymore.
"Damon she is right," Elenasaid with a small smile. "I opened you up to love, but your love is not mine."
"What are you talking about? Everything I have ever done is for you." He snapped.
"You can't fight this." Elenasaid. "You will love her."
The scene disappeared and Damon woke in his own bed. The dream had bothered him when he first had it, but it seemed to be all he dreamed about lately. He cursed to himself, then rolled over and went back to sleep.
Klaus' Dreams
He stood in the middle of a maze. He was confused. How had he gotten here. How did he know it was a maze? He looked to either side of him and decided to go right. He walked for a while, making random turns, cursing when he came to a dead-end.
Suddenly the cry of a baby cut into the eerie silence. His heart leaped into his chest. He needed to get to this baby. He needed to protect it. He ran in the direction of the cry. He had to turn around many time, constantly coming to dead ends. Still the child cried. "I am coming love!" He called out.
The cried stopped as suddenly as they started. He stopped in his tracks. 'No,' he thought frantically. He needed to get to her.
A small child's laugh echoed through the maze. "I am over here!" The voice called out. Klaus turned around. He knew that voice it was Eliyah. "Come and find me!" She called out again laughter in her voice.
He followed the sounds of her giggles. A scream replaced the laughter. "Eliyah!" He called out to her.
"Daddy!" The child called out. "Daddy it hurts!"
He turned a corner and relief filled him. He could see her. She was on the ground holding onto her bloody knee. He went to her. She looked up at him as he approached tears built in her eyes. "Shh I am here." He said as he gathered her into his arms.
"Daddy I fell." she said into his shirt.
"I know love, all is well know." He said as he moved the hair from her face.
"Anna!" She called out escaping from his arms. "Anna I am coming!" She called out as she disappeared from his sight.
"No Eliyah!" He called out fear hitting his chest. "Come back!" He yelled searching frantically for her once again. "Eliyah where are you?" He called out as he ran through the maze. "Come one be a good girl and came back." he said.
Again screams pieced the silence. This time it was the sound of a grown woman. He ran toward it. Eliyah, all grown up, lied on the ground shaking.
She looked at him as he approached. "It hurts." She cried. She was sweating.
"What does?" He asked kneeling down to her. He placed a hand on her. He couldn't smell any blood.
"My whole body. It hurts, make it stop!" She yelled as her arm yanked back in an unnatural way.
Klaus jumped back slightly. "You changing." He said to her soothingly. "It must be a fool moon." He said to her.
He woke to her screams. The room he was in was as quit as the maze. He shook his head as the fear faded. Thank god she would never have to go through that. He could not imagine watching her be in so much pain. The word daddy echoed through his head as he laid back down. He knew he wasn't really her father but there was always a part of him that wished he could be.
Eliyah's Dream
"Run Anna!" She yelled to Anna. Anna was bleeding and she was unsure she could resist her blood for much longer.
"No Eliyah I will not leave you." Anna said standing her ground. "Come on Eli, you want hurt me."
Eliyah's face changed and she yelled as fangs grew in her mouth. "Run!" She yelled at Anna again. This time Anna did not fight with her. She took off, running fast them Eliyah had ever seen her run. Eliyah ran after her. She needed the blood. She had to have it.
It didn't take long for her to catch up. Soon Anna was in her sights. She could tell Anna struggled to see through the dark. Luckily she herself didn't have that problem.
Anna fell and turned to her back seeing that Eliyah was slowly approaching. "Please Eli. It's me, Anna."
Eliyah was about to leap at Anna when the clouds parted revealing a full moon. Eliyah was suddenly in pain. It felt like every bone in her body was breaking. She felt like she was on fire. She yelled out in pain. Her body jerked up...
Eliyah screamed as she jumped from her bed. She stood looking at it as if it had tried to attack her. Her body was sore and her head was swimming. The light went on. "Eli you okay?" Anna asked moving to her quickly.
She nodded. "Yeah, just a bad dream." Eliyah said dismissing it. "I will be okay." She said though she could tell she did not convince Anna of this. How could she when she wasn't even convinced herself?
I hope you all enjoyed. Please leave reviews they are greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
