Back In Time

Simple Spell

Chapter 1

Elena

"It's simple. I will say a few Latin words and get a few drops of your blood, then the spell will be completed. You will be protected for Klaus." Bonnie gives me a warm smile.

"Alright let's do it." I return the smile. I look over at Stefan and Damon, still not knowing which brother I truly want, and smile. "It's going to be fine." I said more to myself.

Bonnie pricks my finger with a needle and starts chanting as each drop of blood falls from my finger it turns into smoke right before it hits my bed. Everything lit up bright white and then I was in the woods. I look around in confusion then I realize where I am. It's my old hide out from when I was a kid. When Bonnie, Caroline, and I would play hide and go seek. I always hide here and I always won cause they could never find me. I was in a dress, an old dress like the ones you hear about in history class. The only thing I could think of was that she sent me back in time. I laugh at myself for thinking that. How could I be back in time? Shock washed over me as realization hit. Now that bonnie had the power of the hundred dead witches she could do almost anything, if she would learn how to control it.

"Are you OK?" A man's voice came from behind me. I spun around to see a middle aged man with long dark brown hair and clothing just as strange as mine. He had a sword hanging from his hip and a bow across his shoulders. What would he do to me if I told him? Would he laugh and call me mad? Or would he burn me for witch craft? I had to think of something to tell him. It's not like I can say, a witch messed up a spell to protect me from the oldest vampire in the world and sent me back in time.

"My family's home caught fire, I was the only survivor." I tried to sound devastated. It was not that hard to do since I was scared to death.

"I am sorry to hear, child. You can come and stay with my family as long as you need." He was sweet and I did not know how long I was going to be here. Should I stay with his family? Should I decline? I may never leave so I will need a place to stay, Right?

"Yes, thank you. That would be very helpful." I jumped at the invitation, after I realize that he and his family can help me and show how to live in this time. What is this time?

"This way." He motioned for me to follow him, so I did.

I keep close to him so that I would not get lost. We walked for just a small piece before the forest opened up in to a small village. Thank you god I was just about to think it was a bad choice to follow him into the woods. There was house's everywhere twenty or so, all made of logs, straw, and what I think is mud or maybe clay. Two Buildings are made of stone and are much bigger then the others. He led me to the biggest Stone house. It was about as big as my house but just not a two story, it was all one floor.

"Here we are." He opened the door and led me in.

"Tatia?" A woman stared at me.

"My name is Elena." I say for the first time, since the man had not bothered with formalities.

"My name is Esther and this is my husband Mikael." She motioned to herself then, the man as she talked.

I thought about their names and where I had heard them from. Then the door opened behind me a turned to see Rebekah. I remembered where I heard then names, Elijah had told them to me. I was in the originals home. They were human. warm skinned, blood flowing, heart beating, growing, aging human beings. Rebekah's face little up with a bright smile.

"Hello!" She sang. As she walked closer to me. "Tatia, you will nev-" she stops talking and stairs at me. "you are not Tatia." She stats still with a bight smile.

"No, my name is Elena. Your family is letting me stay with you till I have somewhere to go." I say looking dawn and Sadden my face. "My family was killed in a fire, I have no one or nowhere to go." I look back up at her bight happy smile was replaced with a sympathetic loving smile.

"You can stay in my room with me. And it will be little a never ending sleepover." She said before putting me out of the house.

"Where are we going?" I asking in confusion. She stops and looks at me as if I had gone mad.

"We have to make you a bed." With that she turns starts pulling me again.

We went to a house, well what I thought was a House. It was a store. It had some food but nothing like I am accustom to. a small table with some kind of melon and some vegetables. Another with spices, and anther with pots and pans. we walk through the store past table after table. some had pens and pater on it others had hats and accessories for both men and women. After 5 or 6 table passed that was a big table covered in cloth. Rebekah picked out a piece of brown cloth that was made of thick hard yarn. She thin carried it over to the woman that I guess runs or owns the store after a few minutes she comes back with more of the cloth and handed it to Rebekah. then after saying her goodbyes Rebekah motions for me to follow her out of the store. Walking out of the store I then notice a small sign staked into the grown that said 'Rosie's store'.
