Elena

Leaving Caroline there with Klaus, was probably one of the most hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. I have known Caroline since, well, ever. All she has ever done was help me and what do I do? I got her turned into a vampire, almost killed on numerous occasions, and now I'm just leaving her to Klaus' advantage. What kind of friend am I?

The Grill, I watched as we passed by, seeing Damon walking out into the light. Even though I wasn't right up next to him, I could still tell that he was totally drunk. I stopped for a moment out in the middle of the side walk and started to get a just of his surroundings. I think just then a spark flew across his mind as he thought to look at the car passing by. As his eyes followed the car, I thought he was just about to have a heart attack.

"Elena?" He asked as he saw me in the back seat.

I threw my hands up to the window looking at Damon as we passed by. "Damon," I whispered.

Elijah then stepped on the gas and we sped faster away, until I couldn't see him anymore. He was just a faded dot in the distance. "Don't worry, you'll be able to see him soon." Elijah spoke softly as if this was just a game.

"How could you do this? How could you be apart of your brother's plans? I thought we had a deal?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"Its not my choice to make Elena. You must understand my brother and his will." He turned to face me. "If he wants something, you better damn well give it to him before he cuts your head off." He smiles. "In this case, he want's you, and he doesn't care what the cost."

I flinch in my seat and decide to look out the window. I could see houses flying past my vision and people looking at us strangely. A few moments more, we then pulled up in front of my house, and Elijah stopped the car.

"This is it," Elijah said.

"What now? What about Caroline?"

"If Klaus wants to talk, he will find you. If not then, your on your own."

"What?"

"Sorry Elena, but you must go now."

I opened the door and slid out of the car. Just as my feet hit the ground I was then shoved, protectively, behind a body; and the car slid away fast. He then turned around slowly putting his arms around me, bringing me in for a hug.

"Oh my gosh Elena," Damon said. "Do you have any idea how freaked out I was?"

"You? I was at Klaus' hand and you didn't even try to find me!" I yelled, breaking out of his hold. "Now he has Caroline! Caroline!"

Damon grabbed my hand and led me inside the house. "Elena, I…We have to tell you something."

I looked from Damon's face to around the room. Bonnie sat on the couch with Alaric, Stefan, and Matt. "What…What's going on?" I could tell that Bonnie was crying, and everyone else was on the bridge of tears.

Damon led me to the chair and set me down. "Elena, It's Jeremy."

Just then, I didn't know what to think. My mind just shut down. What else more could possibly happen to me? A tear escaped my eye. "What…What happened?"

"Elena, he's dead." Stefan said quietly.

"No…no…he moved. We made him forget and he moved on. No one knew where he was except us. WE made him forget us all. How could….how could this happen?" I rambled on.

Stefan got up off of the couch and went over to stand next to me, as he put his hands on my shoulders. "He's not dead yet, it's just that Klaus…one of his hybrids bit Jeremy and…with the ring going all crazy on him, Jeremy's having the same effect of the bite as if he were a vampire." He paused. "Elena, he's dying, slowly."

"Oh…Oh god no." I began to break down, not being able to hold it in much longer. "And Klaus is the only one to save him, right?"

"Unfortunately yes." Damon replied. "But-"

"Where is he?"

"Elena-"

"WHERE. IS. HE!"

"Upstairs, in his room." Bonnie said quietly.

I got up and ran up the stairs, into his room, and slammed the door shut behind me. I looked at Jeremy laying limp on the bed. There was sweat running down his forehead and you could see the bite clearly on his arm as it spread up toward his shoulder. I walked over and sat on his bed, at his feet. Jeremy stirred in his unconscious state and he cried out in pain. I stroked his leg a few times and then got up.

"I promise I'll make it better. Jer."

I got up off of the bed and grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialed the number.

"Hello, my love. What can I do for you?" He said.

"A trade." I stated. "Caroline and Jeremy for me."

"A trade?" He restated. "I call that more of a demand."

"What do you want!" I yelled.

"I want you, come with me, and you can have your pity Caroline and Jeremy for it."

"What do you want me for? Where?" I couldn't help but to have my curiosity run free.

"Its not for you to know, just say yes and I'll be on my way to making the arrangements."

"How do I know-"

Just then I heard footsteps coming quickly up the stairs and the door to Jeremy's room flew open. Elijah stood there, in the doorway, reaching for something in his pocket. Damon then appeared behind with Stefan and then all hell broke loose. Both Stefan and Damon began to lash out at Elijah and they were winning; the next minute, Elijah was winning. I stepped back to the window and started to yell at them to stop.

"Elena get out of here!" Damon yelled.

"NO!"

"You're saying no to my offer?" Klaus asked on the line. "Clearly your not thinking right."

"Yes," I whispered into the phone. "Yes."

"That's more like it. Lets say I'll pick you up at…oh now."

Klaus then appeared in the doorway. The fighting stopped and the Salvatore's scattered to protect me. Standing in front of me, they began to close me into a box against the wall, preventing me from seeing both of them.

"What do you want Klaus?" Damon Asked.

"To take my things and leave this pity town."

"Well Elena is not your 'things'." Stefan said.

"Well sorry to break the news to you but she is now."

"What are you talking about?" Both of them said at the same time.

"Elena," Klaus responded.

They both turned to look at me furiously. "What is he talking about."

"I made a deal, Damon. I'm his."

"WHAT!" Damon yelled. "What the hell?"

"Sorry mate," Klaus smirked.

"Don't you fucken sorry me! She's not going anywhere with you!"

"Fine with me, you can watch Jeremy die slowly and then you can watch as I kill Caroline very, very slowly. It's your choice."

I stepped out from behind the Salvatore's and walked in the middle of Stefan and Damon, and Klaus and Elijah. "I made a deal. Heal Jeremy and let Caroline go, and I will go with you." I said.

Klaus tossed a red bottle at Damon, "Here, he's healed." Klaus held out his arm and gestured for me to take it. "Shall we."

"Caroline."

"She's free as of this moment."

I turned around, "I'm sorry."

Damon took my hand, "I will find you." He whispered.

Stefan looked in my eyes and then whispered, "I'm sorry Elena. I can't let you do this."

Stefan grabbed my arm and pulled me out the window with him, glass shattering underneath my feet as I fell. Just as it was on impact I could feel the ground as it came up from underneath me as people screamed my name, and the world went dark. The only thought that I last had was I'm sorry, flooded through my mind.
