A New Beginning | Emma Petrova (TVD & TO) [BOOK 2]

Come back... I still need you

I gasp awake, looking down at my wrists that are slit and I'm bleeding out. I look at my surroundings seeing that I'm on the Salvatore house cellar.

Great!

I look at the other side of the cellar to see Elena staring at me in fear, maybe scared of what I'm capable of doing and she should be scared because I'm about to rip her heart out and all of her intestines.

I speed towards her and I take her by surprise as I drive my hand through her chest ready to rip her heart out, but a different set of hands hold me back.

"Hello, love." He smiles at me and I furrow my eyebrows, knowing that this is all fake and that Nik is not standing right in front of me.

"Is this the best you can do? Put fake crap inside of my head, waiting for me to flip my humanity back on and be the sad little Emma all over again?" I dryly laugh, attempting to snap his neck but he quickly speeds away.

I'm ripped off Elena and I'm thrown on the other side of the cellar. Elena gasps for air and breathes heavily while bringing her hand up to her chest.

Damon stands protectively in front of her, eyeing me down with a knowing look. "Come on, E, we know your weaknesses. You turn it on now or so god help me I'll snap your neck and when you wake up, we're in New Orleans!" He hisses at me but I only laugh at his empty threat.

I sit down on the cellar bed, looking at both of them before rolling my eyes. "You think you know me but you don't." I smirk at the two of them. "I can easily take the both of you down or I can compel you to stop nagging me."

"Like you did with Stefan? Unlucky him but we are all chunk full of vervain. Especially after you easily took us all out and escaped." Damon starts, making me tilt my head at him. "We're not the only ones here. Right on the other side of this door, Bonnie and Ric are standing there with a crossbow. Upstairs is Stefan, even if he can't stop you he can help us. Loopholes. Do you think you can take all of us after you've been bleeding out for days?" Damon smirks at me.

I laugh at his cockiness, crossing my hands over my chest. "Care's humanity is back?"

Elena sighs, walking towards me with a cautious look. "Stefan showed her a memory from Liz." She smiles softly at me. "Remember when Liz took you and Caroline to the lake house and she taught you how to ride a bike?"

"That's not gonna work, Elena. Don't try!" I shake my head and Elena runs a hand through her hair, turning to look at Damon who doesn't take his eyes off me. "Does Care want to read her mother's letter?" I ask,  a evil smirk forming in my lips.

Elena furrows her eyebrows. "Yeah, yeah she does. What about you, you want to know what Isobel wrote to you? She said that-." I cut her off.

"Sad that she burned the letter down and no one did a copy..." I smirk widely at them, standing up from my seat which makes Elena take a step back. "Or did I make a copy and hid it somewhere?" I drop the news, holding a finger up to my lips in a thinking gesture.

Damon glares at me, speeding me against a wall and holding me by the throat and I try to push him away from me but he doesn't move as his grip on my neck tightens, making me groan in pain.

"I'm sorry, love." He says, looking into my eyes with a sorrowful expression.

"Why?" I chock my words out, tears running down my face. I look at his hands seeing that he has two hearts in his hands and then I look down at the two bodies... Elena and Jeremy. "No! No! NO! THIS ISNT REAL!" I shout, pushing Damon away from me.

"Come on, Em. Stop fighting the urge to feel something." Damon raises his voice at me as I see Elena is no longer in the room. "We need you back, Emma. I need my partner in crime back. I need my friend back."
