Second Chance 》 The Vampire Diaries

She's Comes Undone

I'm starting to think that leaving Operation: Get Elena's Humanity Back to my brothers is idiotic. We've been starving her for days, but she hasn't even shown any signs of anger or anything. Damon is trying to get inside her head at this very moment so she can see that she's missing the biggest part of senior year - graduation. They're just going at this all wrong. Elena lost Jeremy because of Katherine and me, which I still feel guilty about even though they tried to excuse it because my humanity was off. Her parents are dead, her house is gone, and everything good in her life has disappeared. I'm sure Elena will try her hardest to keep the switch off and she might attack the people helping her to do it.

So, after the third day, I haven't really been helping torture the poor vampire and told them about my deal and that I wouldn't interfere. Yet, none of them know that the deal's off since I flipped my switch back. I went as far as telling them that I was still upset that Klaus and Elijah left. It's not a complete lie, I am bummed out that they're gone, leaving Rebekah all alone here.

I wanted to tell someone about my last night with Klaus, without judging me and calling me crazy for sleeping with him. The only person I wanted to talk to about it was Rebekah but I haven't spoken to her since Katherine 2.0 became her best friend. And, as weird as talking about my sex since it's with Klaus, I know Rebekah would give me a nonjudgemental conversation without making me feel guilty.

"You still have her locked in the safe? You've been in her head for an hour. What, still nothing?" Stefan asked as we arrived at the cellar.

Damon didn't answer, instead, he looked at the safe Elena was currently locked in. "How you doing in there?" he asked her. He unlocks the safe. Elena groggily pokes her head out, just keeping conscious. Damon reached in to pull her out. "Come on." Elena fell on the floor and Damon crouched in front of her. "Is the old you ready to come out and play?"

"Go to hell," Elena snapped weakly.

Damon smiled tightly. "Ok, back you go." I just watched in amusement as he put her back in the safe before locking it. "We can do this the nice way, or we can do it the other way...but either way, we're not stopping until you turn your humanity switch back on. So I'm gonna let you think about that, and I'm gonna come back for you in a couple hours, or a couple years...because all we have is time."

"You really think starving her is a great idea?" I pondered while he patted the safe twice.

"Well, I don't see you coming up with something."

"Elena and I have a deal," I lied, even motioning a finger to my lips so my brothers would know too. "We wouldn't get in each other's way. So, as long as she's in this house, I'm not getting involved."

I saw the trouble look on Stefan's face but I swear I'll help them get Elena's humanity back once I come up with a fool-proof plan. For now, I've got nothing.

"So you've got nothing," Stefan stated what I'd thought a few hours ago.

"Nada," I responded. "You guys forget that Elena can be stubborn when she wants to be. She's gonna milk this no-humanity thing for as long as she can, so trying to make her hate you guys isn't going to work."

"At least she'll feel something."

"Annoyed is more like it but any vampire with no humanity would be too if someone is trying to ruin all the fun. Elena is becoming Katherine 2.0 but less devious. You guys could even put the idea of death in her eyes but she would see right through it because you two love her so much."

"Maybe putting the fear of death is what we need to do," he said which got me to roll my eyes. This plan is already going to fail.

The door to the house opened and Caroline strolled in. "Where is she? I wanna see her," she said.
