Elena was in the darkness for longer this time, she kept expecting another scene from her past to rush into view but it didn't she was left alone with her thoughts. "Why am i see this?" she thought "why didn't i remember that meeting when i was turned?" that thought scared her the thought that maybe she there was more pieces of her past missing and that something had hidden them from her.
She was suddenly more aware of her lack of a body in this place her need to curl up and sleep had not been been this strong since before she was turned.
After a few minutes along in the darkness Elena began to feel a warm glow approaching her, turning in the darkness she could see a light, moving closer to the source she noticed this wasn't like the other times. The last time a full picture appeared at once sight small feeling all returned, this time as as she got closer to the light she began to feel heavier, a tingling sensation ran through her and it was almost like she could feel her body again.
The light seemed to form a sort of doorway, Elena was hesitant being alone in the dark had been bad but it could always get worse. The kind of tortures she had seen in the Augustine files flashed through her mind. But curiosity was getting the better of her, slowly she moved closer to the doorway and then fully tensed she passed through.
The sound of crackling flames, it was the first thing she noticed when she stepped through, for a moment she thought she was in hell but as she scanned the room panicking she realised it wasn't hell. Elena seemed to be in a log cabin the kind parents would take their kids to in the summer to "build family memories", a small fire was crackling away in the fireplace almost burned down to the embers. She stepped closer to the flames and almost jumped out of her skin at the feeling of a rug beneath her feet. She had feet, She had a BODY. Elena had never been so happy to see her unpainted toes.
She quickly check the rest of her body, it was all there "what's going on now?" she asked out loud please to actually be talking again "where's Katherine?".
Katherine was nowhere to be seen the cabin was empty, "KATHERINE?" she shouted her voice carried through the still air, at first there was no reply but then Elena hear a noise coming from outside the cabin. Elena quick walked over to the door and swung it open, the sight astounded her she was completely lost for words. The cabin sat in the middle of a field of yellow flower which gave the field a look of gold, the borders of the field was lined with trees that were so tall they seemed to touch the sky with the exception of in front of the cabin where the tree fell away revealing a snow peaked mountain rising into the sky. "Wow" was the only words Elena could muster, "i know" the voice came from Elena's left her eye drew themselves away from the scenery and snapped to the source. "It's beautiful isn't it" Nadia said, she was sat on a wooden porch swing calmly rocking back and forth.
"Nadia ?" Elena staring at the woman "i certainly didn't expect this" she thought, "this place doesn't exist" Nadia said with a sigh "at least not any more it burned it down about thirty years ago" She rose from the swing and walked towards the flower field cautiously Elena followed her. "Is this another memory?" Elena asked "did you and Katherine come here?", Nadia bent down a picked one of the flowers at her feet "it a dream of a memory" she explained bring the flower up to her nose "this place couldn't have been this beautiful in reality but its how i see it in my dreams". Elena put her hands on her hip frustrated with Nadia question dodging "why am i here Nadia?" she demanded, Nadia looked her up and down and giggled obviously not threatened in the slightest "what are you going to stamp your foot to make me do as you say?" she mocked. She took one more sniff from the flower before letting it fall to the ground "you do ask a good question what are you doing in my dream? i certainly didn't make you".
Nadia began to circle Elena a cold calculating look fell over her face, Elena was an intruder in her head, Nadia stopped and suddenly rushed at Elena stopping inches away from her face eyes filled with predatory intent it was all Elena could manage not to jump out of her skin. They stood like that for what felt to Elena to be minutes but was probably actually barely seconds, Nadia's face returned to its relaxed smile and he stepped away from Elena "this is Katherine" she stated "messing with my dreams, its NOT COOL MOTHER" she shout out loud. Nadia calmly strode back to her swing collecting flowers along her way completely ignoring Elena's presence, "wait" Elena pleaded "you have to tell me what's going on, what's happening to me?" she quickly followed Nadia back to the cabin. Nadia continued to ignore "Goodbye Katherine" she chimed shooing Elena away with her hand, at the same time Elena could feel a force pulling her backward, she tried to fight it but it easily overpowered her dragging her away from Nadia back into the cabin and through the doorway she entered back into the darkness.
A sudden jolt rose Katherine from her sleep, the entire plane was shaking, panic began to form in Katherine escape plans a possibilities rushed through her head "this is your captain speaking" the calming tones came over the loudspeaker and instantly every pair of eyes were locked on the box speaker. "For any uneasy flyers on board we are just experiencing some turbulence on our descent we will be landing very soon" the message was repeated in French and Katherine could feel the entire plane relax. She looked over at Nadia, she was still fast asleep Katherine chuckled uneasily, trying to ease her mind she lifted the flap covering the window and looked down at the lights of Paris.
