Hey,
I want to first apologize for not updating. I appreciate you're support. Thank you for sticking with reading my story through every thing. I can't believe it took me this long to update, but I'm getting there. Doing better, it's just I need to break out of this hold, if you know what I mean. Well I just wanted to thank you readers for your support, and for reading. Hope it's interesting.
(Sorry if there seems to be some mood swing changes through out the story, whether it's from the characters or just in general.)
Elena
My name is Elena Gilbert and I am a survivor. My parents died at the age of ten, due to a car accident. I was saved by my guardian angel from above, and was brought back to life, but my parents were not. My brother and I were then placed into the care of my Aunt Jenna, where she cared for us until she passed away due to a murder that was never solved. Due to the shock I found hope in the one person that was there through it all, Klaus. I didn't want to put any pressure on my friends. I told Bonnie and Caroline that I was going on a vacation for a little while, to get away from all the pain. I then moved out of our old house, that brought too many bad memories, and in with Klaus. He's cared for me ever since. My brother Jeremy took over our house, and I haven't seen him in months.
There's so many things we're not. There's so many things we are.
I am a daughter, sister, friend, classmate, and family member. I am human, I make mistakes. Most of all I am a murderer.
Why was I saved, and my parents lives spared? Why was my Aunt killed, and yet I still live?
Life isn't fair, but I keep marching on, for one reason. Klaus.
I open my eyes and find myself laying in a large, unfamiliar bed. The curtains were closed, and there was a small amount of light coming through the bottom part of the closed door. I get up off of the bed and make my way towards the door. Opening it I looked around the long hallway, that was just barely lit, before whispering.
"Klaus?" I whisper.
There was no response.
Quietly, I carried my feet to take me down the hallway; praying that there was a door somewhere in this place that would take me elsewhere. I then heard quiet voices speaking in monotone. I proceeded in stealth mode, praying not to disturb whom ever was speaking. Soon I came to the end of a hallway that lead to a large living room area, and just from where I stood, there were two men drinking on the sofa, talking. I couldn't tell if one was Klaus, or not, from where I stood.
"Klaus?" I whisper.
Almost immediately did both of the men turn to look at me, but none were Klaus. They looked at me with a shocked look and placed their drinks on a table next to them, slowly making their way towards me. For every step they took towards me, I took one back. I didn't know their plan for me, and I didn't want to find out any time soon.
"Elena, it's alright. You're safe." The short black haired man spoke calmly. "Elena, calm down, we're not going to harm you. We want to help."
Who the hell do these men think they are?
"If you want to help me, show me the door." I whisper taking another step back.
"Elena, I can't do that. Klaus will come after you." The other man spoke. He looked very familiar, with his soft voice. Stefan! He was the kid from the school.
"If you don't he'll kill you two!" I raise my voice. "You two don't know who you're dealing with, and I would hate for you to find out. Of course he'll come after me, because I'm missing. He's probably tearing the town apart as we speak, looking for me."
"He can't come in here, Elena." They both said in unison.
"Why's that?"
"Because this house, this is yours. Because of you, you saved us all. Klaus can't enter this house without your permission. Before he took you, we gave over the deed of the house to you, so we as vampires may live here as well."
"No, I left Jeremy to have our house a few miles away. I've never been here before." I shook my head. "What kind of sick game are you trying to play on me!" I yelled backing up to the same room in which I woke up in. Turning around, I ran in attempting to shut the door behind me; but the two men held it open until they finally shoved through.
"Elena, stop!" They both yelled. "Klaus compelled you to forget your past life!"
"No, no he can't." I shook my head, panicking. "He makes me drink Vervain so you two can't compel me. He says you're not safe to be around."
I backed myself up to sit on the large bed and stare at them both.
"You guys are wrong." I say.
Stefan's brother knelt in front of me, on the floor. "Elena, he compelled you before you took the Vervain. Klaus killed your aunt, turned her and then murdered her on the spot. He killed you once, and then once he found out you were still alive he had his sister kill you. They're the reason Alaric's dead!"
Taking in a deep breath I calmly said, "Look guys I know you think this is all Klaus' fault because it's a lot easier to blame him, but you guys need to stop this mess."
Stefan sighed and looked towards his brother, "Come on, let her sleep." His eyes then met mine, something about his eyes seemed like he was genuinely sad. "There's a fresh pair of clothes in the dresser."
Damon
"Did you see her reaction?" I say, taking my glass of bourbon to the couch. "She was scared of him. Either Klaus compelled her to forget, or he compelled her to be scared as hell of him."
"I know. I saw." My brother sighs. I know what he's thinking. I know he misses her feelings towards him. The way she used to look at him. The way she smiles, laughs, cries. I know this because it's the same way I look at her with; it's the same way I wish she'd look at me.
Elena
I have to get out of here. I have to find him. I have to get back. He will kill them. He will torture them just because they even laid a hand on me. I'm his property, and I belong to him. If Klaus ever found out they took me, they'd be dead on the spot. I have to leave to keep them safe.
Walking to the window, I'm expecting it to open, but to no luck. I go to the door and try turning the handle, but it doesn't turn. They trapped me in here. In this room, alone. Do they realize that even if Klaus can't come in, he'll find a way to get me out.
I curl up on the bed, wrapping my arms around my legs, praying for security.
Just at that moment, is when I heard the bang. Rocking back and fourth on the bed, I kept praying for someone to save me; to save them. Moments passed where it was dead silent, and I thought that they'd left; but I was wrong. The windows in the room shattered, spraying glass everywhere. Screaming I dived for underneath the bed, shielding my face from the glass. Crawling on the ground, I could feel shards of glass digging itself deep into my knees and arms; but I had to get away.
That's when I heard his compelling voice. "Elena, invite me in babe so I can help you. You're hurt"
He's standing in the window's view, outside. I look up, frozen. If I stay in here, I'm free from his grasp; but if I go with him, the brothers will be safe.
There I sat, staring like an idiot at the man standing in front of me. I'm frozen. I don't know whether to go or to stay. I don't know whether to scream or cry. To be grateful or scared.
"Hun, please you're hurt. Let me help you." His soft voice spoke.
It was then when I looked down to see glass lodged into my skin. The shattered glass from the windows lay upon the bedroom floor. My blood runs cold, and I can't move.
"You-you compelled me before, didn't you?" I whisper.
He looks at me shocked, stunned for a moment, and then responds to my question. "Never. I gave you Vervain for a reason, I promise I never compelled you."
"Jenna-" A tear slips from my eye. "She's dead. Murdered." I cry, looking towards the broken image of a broken girl upon the shards of glass.
Klaus comes up to the window, trying to break the force that's holding him out. "Elena if this is what all this nonsense is about, I will find her murderer and kill him myself. I will turn him, and then watch as my hybrids tear him to pieces! You can watch as they rip his heart from his chest! Just invite me in."
"Alaric wouldn't leave us alone. He loved Jer and I. He wouldn't just up and disappear after Jenna's death. He wouldn't let me move, he would work things out between us all."
Klaus is now pounding his fist into the outside wall of the house. "God dammit Elena! Let me in! Let me help you!"
"Jer, I let Jer down."
"No you didn't hun, he's fine. He's home. I'll take you to him. It's okay, you're just not feeling good. You're sick. Let me make you feel better, and come with me."
It was then when I looked up and saw his dark soul. "I'm a murderer because of you!" I say and shove a shard of glass through the skin of my wrist. "I want the truth Klaus. No more lies."
Surprisingly there was little pain. Just a whole lot of frustrated screaming from Klaus' part outside the house.
"Elena! Let me in! God dammit, Elena!"
Just before the black devoured me, I could have sworn I've seen my guardian angel. My savior.
Thanks for reading. Tell me what you think.
