Poisoned love ( klaus love story )

Chapter 29

       
        Echo's strength was fading fast ... really fast. She had no idea what hit her, but in a snap, she seemed to have been pushed to the ground by her own pain and suffering. The agony was so heavy, she couldn't even scream, like it winded her from sound. Also, she didn't want Klaus to hear her cries and the try to swoop in and save her. She wanted to be no where near him whatsoever. Her stomach erupted with growls as she found it harder and harder to breathe. She had her back to the ground, dirt running all throughout her hair as she stared at the indigo night sky with the shimmering lights of the stars. She vacillated the thought of just calling for Klaus or just stay on her back until someone found her.  Soon she didn't have to choose either.

       One came to her ...

        "Oh my gosh, Echo!" A very distinct voice came crawling her way, Echo's nerves welling up with relief.

        "Elena ..." She choked out, trying to sit up to see her cousin, but only being jolted right back down because of the torment.

Soon, the brunette came to her vision that was blurring by the minute. Elena's silky smooth hands were clenched tightly to her shoulders as her long brown was dangling past her face from behind her ears. Her eyes were glossy, filling with tears as she saw Echo in such unbearable pain.

        She sniffled before whispering, "W-what happened? Who did this to you?"

All she could manage to do was shake her head, hating the fact that she couldn't pinpoint what happened. She saw two very unfamiliar shapes standing in the distance. Maybe it was her vision, or people who she'd never seen before, but she couldn't figure out who was with Elena. Again, she didn't have to ponder much more on that, considering the fact that Elena had cleared up half of her question.

        "Bonnie ..." She turned to the figure on the right, her voice drowning with plea, "She can't speak a-and there's no blood. Who could've ...?" She stopped her sentence and turned back to Echo, caressing her face.

        Bonnie gestured to the other figure, cutting her eyes so they landed on Elena's. It nodded before slowly shuffling its way to her. As it got closer and closer, the features began to become more and more clear who it was. The voice killed the assumptions.

        "Elena, it's ok. I'll feed her my blood; everything will be fine."  Stefan consoled her, grabbing her wrist.

She looked to him, lips slightly departed, and then switched eye contact to Bonnie who had her arms outstretched for a hug. "It'll be ok. Stefan knows what he's doing." She told her, a shy smile gliding across her face.

Elena nodded, didn't dare look back at Echo and accepted Bonnie's hug, trying her hardest not to let any tears shed. Sadness hit Elena worse when she was confused as well. Stefan stared at her with his soothing eyes, cupping his hand to one of her cheeks.

        "Don't worry, Echo," He paused to take a bite into his arm, causing a nasty scar to erupt on his perfect skin, "Stefan's gonna make it all better, alright?"

Echo pursed her lips to try and keep Stefan from shoving his arm into her mouth. He saw her rebellion and sighed, a light chuckle following afterwards. "You're really gonna do this the hard way?" He questioned her, a semi-annoyed grin painted on his face. Echo gave no noise--no objection. He shrugged, "Suit yourself then."

He then slithered his face closer to hers, staring deeply into her cocoa brown eyes. "You will be willing to take my blood now. And you will not object anything I'm about to do." He compelled her.

She kept her lips pursed and shook her head as if refusing the compulsion. Stefan's eyes widened as he inched back, confused on why her reaction was so ... unexpected. He turned his head to look back at Elena and Bonnie who'd, witnessing the abnormal response, had about the same shocked expression latched onto their faces as well.
