I do not own the Vampire Diaries (Mentions of abuse in this chapter)
Elena: You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?
Bonnie: Pretty much.
Boy: Jeremy, good batch, man
Elena: I'll be right back.
Bonnie: Please be hot.
"Oh my God, not again! This is the worst." Bonnie groaned and Stefan couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"I told you it's fine," Stefan said amused.
"Easy for you to say," Bonnie grumbled.
[Elena enters the boy's bathroom.]
Boy: Whoa! Pants down, chick!
[Elena grabs Jeremy's face, looking into his eyes to see if he's high.]
"Elena there was no need to be so rough with him." Bonnie scolded, she and Jeremy might be on the outs regarding their relationship but she would still defend him.
"He was doing drugs, what else should I have done? He was destroying himself I couldn't just do nothing." Elena defended herself.
"No one said you should have done nothing Elena, what Bon Bon's trying to say is that there was another way you should have gone about trying to help Jerbear because your way wasn't helping him, instead it was pushing him further towards drugs," Lucy advised.
"And how would you know? You know nothing about us so stop acting like you do." Elena shouted at her completely frustrated with the bitch.
"As a matter of fact I do, I know everything about all of you, your past, present, and future, and not only of your world, but others too. For example, in another universe, Elena has a badass sister that falls for one of the badboys, AKA, Damie, K, Wolf Boy or Nicky or the nobler ones, like Lijah or Steffie..."
They all were shocked at this one but also intrigued, what would have happened had Elena Gilbert had a sister? A badass one at that? Jeremy especially was curious about what it would have been like to have another sister.
"...some, where Damie falls for Bon Bon..."
Damon and Bonnie both jerked in their seats before looking at each other wide-eyed in complete and utter horror whilst the others were amused or disgusted.
"...some, where both Nikky and Lijah are fighting over Elena instead of Damie and Steffie..."
The Mikaelson brothers looked particularly disturbed at the thought of having the situation with Tatia all over again and with Elena of all people, both Klaus and Elena looked revolted at her words. Kol couldn't help but smirk in amusement at their faces.
"...some, where K and Bon Bon are together."
Kol and Bonnie looked at each other awkwardly, they didn't know each other that well so it didn't disturb them but they did know that it would never happen.
"...some, where Bella from Twilight falls for Damie, Nicky, Wolf Boy, Lijah or Kol..."
The vampires looked revolted at the thought, especially Damon, twilight was, in their opinion, an insult to what they are. Like really, come on,sparklingin the sun? What was the author thinking? They were predators, not pretty jewels.(No offense to Twilight fans I just was trying to explain from their point of view)
"...and a lot more, so yes Elena I do know a lot about all of you, that is how I formed my opinion of you being a complete and utter bitch. Jeremy deserved better, as did every other character...uh...I mean person...well technically most of you are not human...so vampire, werewolf, and witch respectively." Lucy amended.
"You're cute when you're rambling darling," Kol said smirking at her red face.
"Shut up K." Lucy pouted.
"Even still, you shouldn't lecture me on how I treat my brother, that is none of your business. It's not like you understand what it was like to have a drug addict for a brother." Elena said forcefully and the others looked at her, shock and anger written on some of their faces. Hurt and annoyance was on Jeremy's, he's gotten over that period of his life, why was she making this out to be so much more than it was?
"I may not understand what it's like to have a drug addict for a brother Elena but you shouldn't be presumptuous about my life, you know nothing about me because whilst I can't understand your situation at the time, I do know what it's like to be close to someone with addictions. My mother was addicted to smoking and she died of lung cancer, my father then became addicted to drinking and he died of heart failure, I was left alone with my uncle who used drugs as an outlet for losing his brother and sister-in-law and that turned him into a monster so yes I don't understand your situation because you have had it far better than me." Lucy snapped at her tears running down her face before she ran out the room to the side doors where she said the bedrooms were located,as they all sat in silence after her outburst before sending glares Elena's way, none was more sharper than Kol's who was resisting the urge to throttle the girl and instead vamp sped over to the doors and went after her.
"You shouldn't have said that Elena, that was wrong of you," Matt said.
"Matt's right you shouldn't have said that when you knew nothing about her but then again what did I expect from a bitch like you?" Rebekah said angry at the girl for hurting the likable child. She would have gone after Kol when he went after Lucy but there was something in his eyes that told her that he wouldn't hurt her, but she kept an ear out just in case.
Kol wandered the hall using his vampire senses to hear which room her heartbeat resonated from and once he found the room, he opened the door quietly only to pause as he saw her remove her shirt in the reflection of the stood there admittedly horrified as he looked at the scars littering her frail form.
Kol, for some reason, felt his hands fist, the thought of someone hurting the girl had him on edge, he wanted to rip out their throat...or their heart...or both.A strong urge to comfort her clawed at him, but he hesitated, unsure how to approach her.
But when he heard her sobbing, he knew he couldn't stand idly by any longer. Just as he stepped forward though, she lashed out, throwing the mirror aside, the glass shattering against the wall.
The sound of her sobs echoed in the hall, prompting the others to glare at Elena before some of them rose, uncertain of what to do. They knew Kol had formed a bond with Lucy, but would it be enough to help her? Just as they were about to rush in, the sound of glass shattering echoed through the hallway, followed by Kol gasping her name. The humans, unable to hear the full context, looked to the supernaturals for answers, who shushed them, intent on listening.
Lucy gasped turning around immediately as she tried to hurriedly pull the shirt back on except he was faster, grabbing it from her and throwing it away to see the entirety of the damage on her body. She flinched back from him trying to cover herself, or more importantly, her scars.
"What the hell Lucy? What happened to you?" Kol asked but she looked away from him in silence. "Tell me! Tell me who did this and I'll kill them. It was that uncle of yours wasn't it? Wasn't it?" He then asked each question forcefully with rage in his eyes.
"K please give me my shirt," Lucy said with tears streaming down her face and that caused the others, who were hearing everything with their supernatural hearing, to hurry towards the room concerned about Kol's words to her and hers to him, only to stop in shock and horror at the sight of her she was clearly malnourished and her tiny frame was bruised, she had scars practically everywhere. What the hell happened to her?
Kol had mentioned her uncle and from her words before, it did fit and they were all enraged about glanced at her bruised and malnourished body before diverting his eyes, feeling it was inappropriate to look at her like that. The others, however, stared with a mix of anger and concern, struggling to process the horror before them.
"Oh my God!" Caroline gasped, shock evident in her voice. Lucy's wide eyes darted toward the group, and she instinctively jumped behind Kol, using him as a shield to cover her upper body, the bra she wore barely offering any comfort.
"Can I have my shirt back, please?" Lucy asked, her voice trembling with vulnerability. Damon picked up the discarded shirt from the floor and handed it to her, his expression shifting to one of genuine concern as she quickly slipped it on, her head bowed in shame.
The others behind him mirrored his sentiment, even Klaus, who had been annoyed with her, felt a pang of worry seeing her in such a fragile state.
Noticing how fragile Lucy looked, Caroline turned to Bonnie, whispering, "Back me up here, would you?"
Bonnie, unsure of what was happening but trusting her friend, nodded. Caroline stepped forward, addressing the group, "Okay, everyone, we need to give her some space."
"No! I'm not leaving until I get answers!" Kol protested stubbornly, his protective instincts flaring.
"You've already scared her enough! Just let her be," Bonnie urged, gesturing toward Lucy. Kol hesitated, his gaze falling on Lucy's small, fragile frame, curled up with her head down, arms wrapped around herself.
His usually malice-filled eyes softened at the sight, and he sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll leave." Just as he turned to go, an inexplicable impulse washed over him. He glanced back at Lucy, who looked up at him with a mixture of gratitude and relief. Without thinking, he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before abruptly leaving the room, bewildered by his own actions.
