Chapter 12. I'm pretty proud of this story tbh. Thanks for reading it though o; anyway ENJOY

Flames set alight around the barrier closing her in so she can't even go near the glowing purple light. This isn't suspicious at all. What will the neighbors think if they saw this?

Elena glanced around at the fire then looked at the witch who shrugged. "I love the fire effect I can do. It looks amazing." Elena nodded still gazing at the ember. "Why don't you let the barrier down and just have the fire.." She tried to sound convincing to the witch but she failed. "I'm not that idiotic Elena. I do that and you'll just escape." The witch glanced around and noticed that the Salvatore was no longer there. "Where's your little Salvatore lover?" The witch said in a mocking tone while Elena glared at her. "I don't know." "Shame. He can't see you die." "Can I take her heart now?" William asked bored. He was standing there like a lackey in a movie. "No. We have to get rid of the mating bond first." "Mating bond?" Elena questioned. Why could she not remember any of this?

Gwen let out an irritated sigh. "You and Elijah are mated. Fate wants you together which is just stupid. I'm going to mess with fate basically. For this spell to work one of the mates have to die. I don't like you so you get to die! Wins all around." "It's not a win for me..?" "Like I said, I don't like you." Elena rolled her eyes. "What stops me from killing you?" Elena asked questioningly. It was actually a good question. "The vervain in your system. Oh and the fact i'm a witch not to mention William here will kill you." "Who's William?" William stepped forward glaring at the doppelganger. "Let me explain my own story. You turned me for no reason when you were in the past. I have to run all the time because I can't stop killing. You made me a monster."

Elena stared at the boy in front of her and shook her head. "No. I apparently made you a vampire. You made yourself a monster." William looked at her and began thinking about her words. He was the one killing. She never told him to do that but he wouldn't be killing if she didn't selfishly turn him. "Hey stop making him conflicted. He's suppose to kill you." Gwen said glaring at Elena. Elena just shrugged while William stood in thought. "William snap out of it." William shook his head and turned to Gwen. "Right sorry." He turned back to Elena and let his gaze turn cold. "If you didn't turn me for your own selfish reasons I would never have became a monster. Therefor I am going to feel your last heart beat in my hand. I will watch you die." Elena backed away from the vampire a little scared by his tone. Gwen smirked and pulled William behind her before chanting. A sharp pain coursed through Elena and something felt like it was being tugged. Apart of her heart felt like it was breaking.

Elijah was walking when suddenly there was a nagging feeling at the back of his brain. He couldn't quite explain what it was or why it was there and he didn't understand what it wanted so he pushed it aside. It can't be that important right? Wrong.

How could he have been so stupid? Damon had taken Elena right to her death! Everytime he did something with her best interest at heart it goes wrong. He sent her to the past after all. She doesn't even remember that! She'll kill him if she makes it out of this alive. He loves her and it makes him selfish.

The pain was becoming unbearable to Elena. It coursed through her body live a wave that just kept coming. "This is what happens when you steal my Elijah. It's pretty funny because no one is here for you." Elena growled at the witch but that made the pain even more intense. "Hey remember who can cause you pain." Elena tried to reply but when she opened her mouth the only thing that came out was a grunt in pain. The bitch witch in front of her was right. No one was there but that didn't make Elena lose hope. She was her own person so she didn't need everyone else saving her all the time. She wasn't about to be another problem for them.

"Well this is interesting." Elena turned her head to the barrier to see Klaus smirking. "Hello Gwen. Long time no see." "Klaus what do I owe this pleasure?" Gwen said still concentrating on the doppelganger in front of her. "Well it seems you're trying to kill Elijah's mate. That won't make him love you." "It's closer than having him with her." "That's funny because he compelled her to forget everything." "That's great but that doesn't stop the mating bond." "Then that really leaves me no choice but to kill you doesn't it?" Gwen couldn't help but laugh at his words. "There is a barrier!" She was still amused by him. "Oh really? I don't see one." Klaus smirked which caused Gwen to frown and look around.

Her eyes narrowed at the empty space where the barrier once stood. It was gone and only the fire was left.

"William! Temporarily kill the original." A grunt from behind the witch caught her attention. She turned her head to see William stood with blood trailing down from his mouth. "William.." She trailed off as his body dropped to the floor to reveal the youngest brother, Kol. "It seems your friend is a little out of reach right now darling." He dropped the heart which rolled to a stop in front of Gwen. "How dare you!" Gwen yelled casting her attention from the doppelganger to the original. He sunk to his knees gripping his head in pain. Elena felt groggy and the pain was still swaying around her body. She rose to her feet ignoring the complaints from her aching body and thrusted her hand into the witches back right where her heart is.

"Let me tell you something bitch. I will never have no one." Elena said before ripping the heart from the witches now empty chest. She dropped the heart on the ground but then dizziness overpowered her and she dropped to the ground. Kol stood up and looked at his brother who was still smirking. "I got her then. Don't you worry your hybrid head about it brother." Kol said with sarcasm before walking to Elena and picking her up.

"Hey we beat a witch and saved the girl that Damon put in danger once again." Bonnie stepped out from behind a bush and brushed her jeans down. "Yes you're practically a saint now Klaus." "Saint enough to get Caroline to notice me?" Bonnie raised her eyebrow at the original. "Ask her yourself. I'm not spending anymore time in your company." The Bennett witch said before walking away from the suspicious scene in front of them. "Well thanks for putting out the fire!" Bonnie just waved her hand in a way of saying whatever.

Kol flashed to the Mikaelson mansion where he knew Elijah would most likely be. Elena rubbed her eyes trying to get rid of the blur which she saw. She didn't even know who was carrying her. She heard someone say he had it but the voices were too faint to recognize. She was gently placed on a sofa as a figure came into view. The colour returned to her eyes and the blur disappeared showing Kol above her. She sat up quickly scared for her life. "Oh don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm not here to kill you darling." "Then why?" "I owe Elijah for saving me so now I saved you. I think that makes us even." "Okay..." Elena was confused at why Kol would save her because he owed Elijah. Wouldn't he do something for Elijah not her?

"Ah I can see you're confused still" Kol said after examining her face. She had her nose scrunched up in thought and she wasn't giving him good replies. Okay was not a good reply in his book. "Now since you don't remember anything i'll sort that out as well darling" He smirked at her before cupping her face in his hands and staring in her eyes. "Remember what Elijah made you forget. About the past few days of course." Elena nodded and he let go of her face before he started to get weird. It was already weird. Her face went from neutral to anger within a minute. "I can't believe he did that!" "Ow my ear darling." "Sorry.. Wait you're straddling me..." Elena trailed of with a blush creeping on her cheeks. Kol looked down at him and her then smirked at her "So I am." "Get off!" She said amused but still a little embarrassed.

Kol got up still smirking. "You're blushing darling." "Oh shut up Kol!" She said hiding her face causing him to laugh. Elijah would be so jealous if he saw this. "Elijah's room is up the stairs and to the right. 2nd door. 1st is mine" He winked at her when talking about where his room was. "You're despicable Kol" "Do not forget hot darling." "Yeah whatever you say Kol." She smirked at him before getting up and advancing up the stairs. So maybe Kol is not that bad well not as bad as Klaus. She didn't need to think about that right now though. The important thing on her mind was Elijah. She was outraged at him. He left her with no memory and practically gave her to Gwen. She needed answer. She needed them now.

Elijah gets to feel the wrath of Elena. I liked the little Kol/Elena thing I put in anyone else? I think they could be friends yet haha
