2010

' I can't believe Jenna slept with Mason!' Elena told Caroline and Bonnie. It was Saturday night .They were at Bonnie's house. They didn't get much time together to talk about things.

It had been 8 weeks of MJ girl and her sister staying with them. Ella was sweet and for sure, she had crush on Stefan because she called him pretty the other day .MJ was other thing. She helped Jenna with supernatural information and adjust to it. Best part of her being here was she pranked on Damon and that left them laughing and that pretty much annoyed Damon. Like one day, she poured a mixture of coffee and tea and cider in his bourbon which he sputtered out or when she added fart cushion whenever Damon wanted to sit or when she TPed his bedroom or when she added bugs in his shoes or cut holes in his shirts which showed his nipples . Also she never called him Damon like he never called MJ. For her , he was Old Man and For him , she was Vamp girl. Their banter was quite funny. Also , they had another addition to future group and that was Sam.They had met him two or three times. They didn't know much about him except that he was stuck with MJ and Ella and he was going to help them.

Elena honestly needed some time with her best friends because She didn't get to talk to them together. Bonnie was spending her most time with MJ and for some reason, she was kind to Damon. Like she was extending a hand of friendship towards him. Damon was wary of that at first but he was protective of her too. It turned out their friendship was good one because they were joking with each other.This has been happening since Ella arrived. Elena was oblivious to the fact that Bonnie's behavior changed towards Damon as MJ had told her about their friendship in future and how he didn't kill her. And the fact that Bonnie was Ella's godmother because Damon wanted her to be. And because Stefanie's godmother was Caroline. Also she felt like she was under surveillance for some reason. Like was followed.

' Maybe she was drunk.'

' Not drunk. Hammered is correct word you can describe Jenna when she slept with him because she forgot the fact that he is a werewolf.' Elena sipped her tea which Bonnie had made them.

' Speaking of werewolf , Tyler came asking me if I am a werewolf too.' Caroline shrugged her shoulders. Katherine made him kill Sarah and he activated his curse. Tyler was confused but Mason helped him. Caroline was with Matt when Tyler almost attacked them . She compelled Matts memories away and broke up with him for his own safety. Damon wanted to kill them of course but again MJ stopped him.

' Care, did you tell him about..'

' About vampires , I just told him that I am the only vampire in this town. I just got tired of dodging him.'

' But..'

' Don't worry nothing is going to happen to your boyfriends.' Caroline replied annoyed of this conversation.

' What!?' Elena slammed her cup down .

' Don't pretend , Elena.Everyone can see it. Stefan's your boyfriend . That I

can get. But what about Damon?'

'Hey, don't fight.' Bonnie tried to intervene but only to no avail.

' Why do you care about Damon?'

This left Elena silent for some time because she couldn't understand herself. These days he had been civil and only normal thing she could rely on. He made her laugh and stayed silent whenever she wanted someone just listen to her. He understood her and he challenged her too. He sometimes stayed when she asked him too.He didn't try to get closer to her and she felt disappointed for some reason. She didn't need to feel disappointed because she had a great boyfriend who was compassionate but she didn't feel need of him that she was feeling for Damon.

He and MJ were helping Caroline and Stefan , who doing great . Stefan could have a whole blood bag a day now and he survived through it. He was trying to control it and staying away from her for some time. Maybe , they weren't spending time together. This could be the reason why. She ended her train of thoughts to find Bonnie trying to calm Caroline down.

' ...and he is evil.'

' He is not evil. He just has some issues.' Bonnie said irritated by Caroline.

' I am just tired. I am going home. ' Elena didn't wait for their replies and left the room. She heard them calling her for something. She came out of the house and started walking towards her home. She touched her neck and realized that she forgot her vervain necklace at Bonnie's and maybe , they were calling her for this only.

Suddenly something hit her head and darkness came over her. She fell on the ground.

' Put her in the car fast.' Rose told Trevor who carried unconscious Elena to the backseat of the car. They drove off .

It had been hours and they couldn't find Elena after she left Bonnie's because MJ came looking for her. A moment of realisation came on her face.

'Of course.' She said to herself and asked for paper and pen and told Bonnie to get ready to send message to 2012 selves. She got the reply too.

Rose kidnapped me. Elijah is going to be there too. Keep yourself safe. Ask Bonnie to do a locater spell. Spell is written below.

Remember to keep yourself safe.

Soon , Bonnie did the locater spell and same thing happened as it happened before. Trevor died at hands of Elijah. Damon staked Elijah . They saved Elena. But only difference was that MJ was there to witness her father getting hurt. When Elena came running down the stairs , she hugged Stefan. MJ felt bad for him. No wonder he always kept walls around him so he couldn't get hurt .

MJ explained to them all the things, they needed to know about the sun and the moon curse. About Klaus and the originals. How Klaus wanted to break curse placed upon him. They were all astonished at the concept of hybrids . First , they couldn't believe that there were werewolves and now , hybrids. Half Vampires and half werewolf.

When they reached home, MJ and Stefan went to Caroline's for werewolf information on Tyler and Damon dropped Elena at her home.

'Cute PJ's. ' Damon started as she entered the room

'I'm tired, Damon.' It has been a long day and she didn't want any snarky comments for now.

'I brought you this.' He showef her the necklace.

' I left this at Bonnie's. Thank you.' Relief rushed over her. She tried to grab it but he didn't give it to her.

'Please give it back.' She knew something was coming.

'I just have to say something.'

'Why do you have to say it with my necklace?'

' Well, because what I'm about to say is...probably the most selfish thing I have ever said in my life.'

' Damon, don't go there.' No , she can't deal with now. Not now

'No, I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena and it's because I love you that...I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this. I don't deserve you but my brother does.' He kissed her on the forehead.

' God, I wish you didn't have to forget this but you do.'

He compelled her and shed a tear. Elena closed her eyes. When she opened them, Damon's gone and she has her necklace. She touched her necklace and looks around her.

Only thing , Damon didn't knew was that first thing Elena did when he left her home was to take vervain in her water.

2012

' I can do magic . This is the only good thing about being human.' Future Kol looked at future Davina.They were in the attic as it became there spoy where they could hide comfortably.

Kol was 19 when he turned into a vampire. So , now he looked if was in his late 40s just like Davina. But he was struggling. A glass shard hurt his hand and he couldn't bear the pain because he wasn't healing faster. He missed being faster and stronger. But he wasn't missing the bloodlust. He had magic which used to give him rush when he was younger. He could have his children. Maybe a Brother for Izzie and Bella. He almost smiled at this thought.

' You always said you missed doing magic.' She kissed his ear as she cuddled. Kol spelled something under his breath and gestured her to look up. She looked up to find auroras above her , she slowly sat up, in awe with his magic. She tried to touch the dancing lights which always seemed to amaze her.

' Kol!' She slowly said and cupped his face.

This whole week has been crazy because Kol becoming human kind of became a problem. His sireline became human too and whoever he compelled remember him. So , many people tried to kill him buy Both Klaus' , Elijah's and Rebekah either killed his enemies or compelled people and police away because they came reporting him for certain murders.

She slowly kissed and lied beside him again. She enjoyed the Auroras as they stayed silent for sometime.

' For the first time, I feel that I am a part of always and forever.' He mumbled to himself but she heard him.

' You know, I hate Klaus but he cares about you. I heard him talking to Elijah and Bex about your enemies.'

' I hope he remains alive and Hollow thing gets resolved. Hope has suffered so much. '

' I hope so.'

And they disappeared .

' We are getting memories of worth thirty years. ' Kol and Davina told Freya who checked the spell.

'Hope's spell is working. Spell is in and doing things to right for future and you becoming human was ine if those things.' She kept down the page. She turned around to face Klaus who came back in room. Panic was written all over his face.

'Damon called. He told me how his daughters are in the timeline when I was trying to break the curse. Hope is gone too.'

2010

' Klaus Mikelson ruined our lives.We have been running from him for over a half millennia.We have been living in ' Rose told Damon. They were in the parlor. He had confessed his love but only to compel away the memory of it. It felt better to admit it.

He had also decided that after this mess , he will leave the town to never come back here. He sighed.

Elena , Stefan , Bonnie , Alaric and Caroline came one by one. Damon looked at them confused. MJ came from behind.

' We need them to know about the situation. Also we need allies. More the better.' She stated.

' Salvatore.' Came a familiar voice which made MJ look at the newcomer and made both brothers look at the girl.

' Yes , this Salvatore boarding house. Hope.' MJ said fast and mouthed something to her which made Hope silent.

' This is Hope a friend of mine.'

' MJ , we need to talk.'.

' Yes , we do.' MJ vamp sped her out of the boarding house.

' Something is fishy about her.' Damon thought to himself.

' They can't know who I am . This will mess up timeline. My parents aren't in love with each other and you can't telk yours because I don't know. '

' So, I won't call you by your usual name.' MJ nodded.

' And thank god you are here. I needed to talk to someone. I am tired. I am so tired .' She smiled and hugged Hope which she returned.

Elena was thinking to again about what happened. His confession was tearing through her head. He shed a tear because of her. She never thought how it must be painful for him too. He thinks that he isn't worth it. He was a good man but with issues. He wasn't a monster.

She was in the boarding house as Bonnie and Alaric went out to get her grimoires . Stefan and Rose went outside to get blood bags. MJ and Hope talking . Caroline was with Ella as she asked her tell a princess story like hers. Caroline delighted at this agreed .

Damon stood up to get a drink and offered her glass. She didn't answer. Instead She got up and looked at him for a moment. She knew at that moment she held his attention because he wasn't moving and looking at her. She came forward and hugged him.

' Thank you for saving me.' She whispered to him. He didn't hug her back and just patted her back.

' That is what friends are for.' He smiled at her and raised his glass. He took a sip and started to read the Gilbert Journal.

She could see the hurt behind his smile. She felt guilty for some reason for hurting him. He deserved a good life. She started to understand him for some reason. This hate and sarcasm was just defense mechanism. To protect himself from getting hurt. He was good man who accepted himself for he was. Stefan described him as a source of darkness. But he had light in him. She shouldn't judge him because of Stefan. Stefan turned him into this mess. No wonder Damon hated or pretended to hate Stefan because he was letting her go for his brother.

She broke her thoughts as Stefan and Rose came back. Stefan dropped the blood bags on the table and came by her side. He wrapped his arm around which made her uncomfortable for some reason. She slowly shrugged out of his hold and got up .

' I am gonna check on Ella.' She needed any excuse to gey away from him. Stefan could just nod at this because he couldn't understand her strange behavior.

' Did you say anything to her?' He looked at hos brother who looked up after being interrupted from his reading.

' No. Why do you ask?'

' Because you pretty much ruin things.' Stefan thought to himself. He just shook his head.
