This is my first AU so...yay! XD It will be in Natalie's POV. It takes place when Elena and Nat first wake up!


My eyes slowly opened as I saw Chloe.

"C-Chloe?" I asked weakly as she looked at me.

"Natalie!" she said as I tried to sit up but Chloe gently put her hands on my shoulder.

"Easy, sweetheart. You've been through a lot." she said as my tired eyes looked at her.

"W-Where's Nate?" I asked in a slightly panicked tone as Chloe nodded.

"He's with Victor, don't worry. Though, it hasn't been easy on your twin. You all are very lucky to have survived that." she said as I raised an eyebrow.

"All of us? You mean Elena and I." I said as she smiled slightly.

"Harry survived too. Some blown up parts of the tree got into his blood and healed" Chloe informed me as my eyes went wide.

"H-He did?" I said in surprise as she nodded.

"He told me about how you and him used to be in a relationship. The good times you two had." she said as she helped me get into a sitting position.

I wanted to go see him but him and Chloe may have feelings for each other.

"He never wanted to hurt you, he told me himself. He always meant to hurt Nate but, if anyone can make him become a better man, it's you." Chloe said as I looked up at her with a smile on my face.

"Thank you, Chloe. For everything." I told her as she chuckled.

"You're welcome. Now, you stay here. I'll go tell the others you're awake. Elena woke up ten minutes earlier and we were all worried that you wasn't gonna make it." Chloe said as I chuckled painfully.

"I'm not the kind to stay down." I told her as she laughed slightly.

"Just like your brother." Chloe commented before leaving the room.

I looked around as I recognized that we were in the same village Nate and I woke up in after we had been shot. Flynn had shot Nate but one of the goons had shot me after I had tried to pull out my gun.

"Drake?" a British accent said as it brought me out of my thoughts.

"Flynn." I said as I looked at him.

He was leaning on the door-frame in the same bloody clothes he had on when we confronted him in Shambhala. He kept his gaze to the floor as he had his arms crossed.

"You look good for a dead man." I joked lightly, trying to ease the tension.

He chuckled lightly before shrugging.

"Yeah, well. The sap may have helped but it still hurts like a bitch." he said as I nodded before I sighed.

"I saw that look you gave me when you dropped the grenade." I commented as he nodded lightly.

"It was supposed to hit Drake and that blonde chick. Elena, was it? It was never supposed to get you." Flynn said as I looked down, fiddling with my ring.

"I'm sorry." he said suddenly as my eyes shot up to him.

"What?" I asked as he sighed, slowly entering the room.

"For causing all of that to happen to you. I was in to deep." he said as I sighed.

"I forgive you, Flynn. I'm sure Nate will too. Sully...might be a different story." I said as he chuckled lightly.

"The old man and I never got along anyway." Flynn said as I smiled.

"So, are you and Chloe getting back together?" I asked while trying to sound casual.

"What? No! I mean, she liked Drake, but now he has that Elena girl, so she's probably okay going on her own way." Flynn said as I nodded awkwardly.

"I was hoping to get with someone else though." he said as I saw that smirk of his.

"Oh, really?" I asked slyly as he nodded.

"Yeah. She had always seen the good in people. Maybe she can see good in this monster." Flynn said as I smiled before shaking my head.

"You are no monster, Harry. If you're serious about changing, we'll gladly help you. There's still good in you." I said before I thought about something.

"Why didn't you Elena help you?" I asked as he sat at the foot of my bed.

"I didn't want her help, darling." he said before taking my hand into his.

"I needed yours. I still do." he said as I smiled.

"You got it, Harry." I said as I held his hand.

Just like the good ole days, eh?
