Note: Okay hey guys. Thank you all so much for your lovely reviews. I usually don't comment much on them, but on Thursday (November 5th) I got my first flame. And yeah they come with the job as a writer. I was just wondering, do you think Elena is going back to her whiny self? I honestly have been making her more like that character again because she is forgetting a lot of things and it's all jumbling up for her. It's all changing for her. I know I'd be pretty screwed up trying to be me but also handle everything, and somehow not screw up the future anymore. Ya know? I'm sort of writing Elena how I would react but also trying to stay true to her character. Anyway, I don't own the Vampire Diaries (I haven't done this in awhile) but I am enjoying playing. I hope you enjoy!

To Change or Not To Change: Time Traveling AU
Chapter 20: Lost
The room was spinning. It was dark, cold and quiet. Elena felt groggy. Her body was still, laying down on the cold floor, her hair was messy and she felt something pooling on her forehead. What's going on? She wondered as she shifted a little. She couldn't bring her body to listen and to call out for help. Where am I?
From what Elena could collect from the room, was that it was likely a cell. Why was she in a cell? She tried to scratch her head in question but her hands were bound and she realized she was also gagged and tied up.
OH NO! Her brain started going into overdrive. She looked around the room wildly, trying to get a clue to where she was. She was utterly shocked by the state she was in. Her body was covered in blood and Elena released it was her blood all over the floor. She gulped loudly.
"Finally, you're awake!"
Elena turned and found Katherine standing in the doorway. She watched as Katherine's eyes darkened at the sight of Elena's blood. Oh no.
She knew that vampires got hungry easily, but Elena had been around such good vampires for so long, she had forgotten just how scary a vampire could be. She swallowed as she looked around for anything to help her but instead, she found nothing.
Her hands were tied above her heart, her hair knotty and full of blood- dried blood. A gag was wrapped around her face to keep her from screaming. And all of this just seemed to amuse Katherine.
Elena looked around quickly, her eyes going over everything once and then twice. Where was she? Was she dead? No…Katherine wouldn't kill her. Elena knew that Katherine would want to use her to save her own behind but it didn't mean Elena was going to willingly go down without a fight. Her brown eyes locked with the vampire's eyes and there was a mini show down.
Katherine smirked though. "Tell me, dear Elena," She said sweetly, and Elena had to hold back a snort. "How do you know who I am?"
I shouldn't tell. Elena knew that. People got hurt, people she cared about got hurt when she said anything about the future. Katherine walked over to Elena and removed her gag. Elena kept her mouth firmly shut.
Katherine tried to compel Elena. "Tell me everything you know about me!"
It didn't work and Elena kept her mouth shut.
That made Katherine mad. "Fine, you won't tell me? Then we'll just have to drain you of the vervain." Oh no! Elena remembered faintly what Damon had originally told her about getting your body drained of vervain. Katherine smirked as she spied the look of pure terror on her victim's face. "So you know what I mean by draining, yes? Good. This is going to be very fun."
Elena cried out in pain as Katherine made the first cut on her wrist to drain her of her blood.

Now Isobel was instructed to bring Caroline's dead body to the middle of the woods- to the old burnt down church mainly, and throw away the body. However, as Isobel stared at the girl's body, she couldn't help but be sorry. Katherine had strictly said to wait around for Caroline to come back as a vampire. This would haunt Elena, Katherine had said.
Having spent so many years with Katherine, Isobel had become slightly cold to death. But, knowing that her daughter was suffering at the hands of Katherine, well, it hurt Isobel. She didn't feel anything towards Elena, not really. But Elena brought back memories of John and with John in mind, Isobel thought of Alaric and then her whole life story flashed before her eyes and she hated Elena for causing such weak pitying emotions to rise inside of her.
Finally, a gasp was heard and Caroline looked wildly around from where she lay. She reached up and touched her neck, where dried blood was and where a hole had been but now was healed. Caroline didn't understand what was going on and she looked so scared. "Where am I? What happened? Elena!" She gasped, looking for her friend. "Where's Elena?"
Stupid teenager, Isobel huffed as she stepped forward. "You're in transition."
"What?" Caroline moved away from the woman, having the good idea that this woman was bad news, "For what? Oh got my head!"
"Quit your whining," She was already giving the older vampire a headache. Caroline scowled but Isobel gave her a cold look that kept her from complaining. "What do you think?" When Caroline gave her a puzzled look, Isobel realized that this girl had no idea what danger she was in. "Has she told you nothing?"
"Who-"
"You're becoming a vampire, you ungrateful idiot!" Isobel hissed.
Caroline laughed in her face. "Vampires aren't real,"
Isobel let her eyes change and her fangs come in before she fed on Caroline. Caroline cried out in pain again as tears rolled down her cheeks. "STOP!" she shouted.
Isobel only stopped when she decided to and she smirked at the girl, who was panting and holding her neck. "You need to feed before you die," She mused. Isobel looked at Caroline and knew that life for this tiny almost vampire was just going to get harder from here on out for her.

Now Jeremy, he was sitting up and talking now. Now that he was awake from his coma, he felt silly. What sort of person went into a coma from a fire? At first, Jeremy had been livid finding out that his house was burnt down because of his father. But not just was he irritated, he was also very upset. Aunt Jenna was dead.
His emotions were swallowing him up from the inside out and he was left sitting on the bed, staring blankly at where his feet were. Anna- his girlfriend- was sitting beside him silently. When he had woken up, she had told him that she knew he needed time to think and would sit quietly while she waited. That had been 30 minutes ago and neither of them had said anything since the nurse left.
Finally, Jeremy looked over at her. "Where's Elena?"
"She's….I don't know….likely with Damon or Stefan," Anna said quietly. "She spends a lot of time with them now. She has a lot to balance when it comes to school, you and Damon."
"Why does it matter if she spends time with Damon?" Jeremy demanded gently.
Anna blinked and then blushed. "Jeremy," she started, "Elena is dating Damon. Didn't you know that?"
Silence fell over the couple. And then…. "WHAT?!"
~x~
Now Jeremy knows Elena is dating Damon. Caroline is becoming a vampire. Elena is being tormented by Katherine. Caroline is with Isobel. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I won't be updating next week, just FYI. I am taking the next few weeks to just write, alright? For this story, there won't be any updates because I want to write a few chapters before updating again. If that makes any sense...
You should expect a chapter though, around December 1st or December 8th. It depends really. And I also want to let you guys know that this story is coming to an end, I know terribly sad! So if you want any key points from the show in this story, let me know okay?! Love you all! Bye!
