Cruel

Chapter 4

Mystic Falls, today
Finally after about 155 years far from home Jolie went back to Mystic Falls, the city where she was born and raised, where she lived until... Eve's death.
Everything was so strange for Jolie, going home after like 155 years was kind of crazy, time passed so quickly and everything changed.
Her city wasnt the beautiful town made of wooden houses which would look alike eachother, Eve's grocery became a bar, "Mystic Grill" read the bright signboard. who knows what Eve would have thought if she was there. 155 years passed but  Eve was a constant thought in Jolie's mind.
Jolie unlike her sister lived all those changes,  she saw the world changing and she conformed with that like every other vampire or human being.
After she wandered for a while Jolie found herself in front of a familiar house, a house that didnt change in time: Salvatore's house.
  Damon and Stefan Salvatore, siblings like the De La Rues lived in that house in 1861 and Jolie now wondered if the two brothers still lived there since they were vampires already in that years.
The girl got closer without thinking about it too much and knocked on the door pariently waiting for someone to open it, that someone didnt arrive too late.
  The door opened wide and a guy with dark hair faced her.
He was wearing dark clothes and he had a glass of a strange drink which was probably Bourbon in his hand. Jolie looked up and her eyes met Damon's That Damon, the guy she had always had a huge crush on. Eve would always laugh at her because Damon was so different from her sister, he was born to be a playboy but except for that Eve adored Damon and he adored her, despite the fact that they were two different creatures.
Damon stayed silent for a moment, he couldnt believe his eyes, litterally. He knew that Jolie was a vampire thanks to Kol Mikaelson, but he wasnt expecting a visit from her. They never met for something like 200 years.
Damon looked for Eve but he didnt see her, she was no where to be seen and that could only mean that she didnt agree on turning herself into a vampire.
He knew she would have never allowed a transformation, she'd rather die..but she wished it with all her heart.
Jolie didnt change at all, she was the same little girl, apparently innocent but she was sexier, a real sex bomb.
Jolie was standing still watched the scene enjoying it, waiting for Damon to say something but when she noticed that he was too busy staring at her she decided to break the silence.
"Hi Damon" she said smiling and getting closer to him. He wanted to hug him but when she tried to walk inside something stopped her. Obviously someone else owned the house.
Damon noticed that and invited Jolie inside.
"Hey Jolie. What brings you here?" asked Damon while the little one got inside without many problems.
She knew that house by heart and it didnt change much, the forniture was a little more modern but the house itself and the rooms did not change. Damon turned around in order to follow Jolie but a voice from the stairs stopped both of them. Stefan Salvatore just joined the group.
When the boy noticed that they had guests he got closer and understood that the girl wasnt one of the innocent girls Damon brought home to feed but the youngest of De La Rue's sisters.
What happened next was kind of a déjà vu of what had just happened with Damon. Stefan like his brother was surprised by Jolie's visit, what had brought her in town?
The three of them sat down and Jolie started talking.
"Do you remember the civil war in 1861? good, when things got worse and the enemies wanted to burn our houses Eve and I decided to pack up everything and run away from here.
We wanted to go somewhere safe where to spend the rest of our lives, or better, the rest of Eve's life. I begger her several times in order to make her decide to become a vampire so that we could litterally spend the rest of our lives together but she was stubborn. She wouldnt do that for any reason in the world. As you know she detestes vampires, I think we are are the only three she can stand. However, that day we packed up our bags and leave on the early evening to avoid the war chaos. When we were ready we headed to the entrance. It was hard for us leaving our home, our city, Eve's store, but it was the best thing to do. The city was almost uninhabitated, just a few people still lived there and that stopped us from surviving.  Eve couldnt sell her herbs anymore and I didnt have left a lot to feed on. It was unbearable and we wanted a change.
When we got out the situation seemed quiet, the streets were calm and it looked like flies didnt dare to move. We decided to head toward the train station and catch the first train for New York but unfortunately we had to wait until the following morning. We decided to go to a motel and once there I left Eve alone because I had to feed and when I came back.." Jolie stopped for a second trying not to cry. Remembering that scene was hard for her, just like being unpowerful in such situations. "..when I got back Eve was dead.. I tried to do something but it was too late, her heart stopped beating and I couldnt do anything.
Do you remember Emily Bennett? your maid at that time.. Well I took Eve and carried her to her hoping that she could bring her back to life since she was a witch but..Emily said she was too weak and I needed someone more powerful..At least as powerful as Eve. I lost my magic when I turned into a vampire and so I couldnt help at all.. Em siggested to heal the body and preserve it in order to make sure it wouldnt rot. I agreed to that and after doing it we brought Eve in the family's chappel and Eve decided to cloak the place so that no one could find the body and consecrate it to get her power.  Jolie stopped talking for a few seconds and looked at the two Salvatore brothers who were trying to understand. How comes Eve died like that? Everyone loved her, who would have wanted to kill her?
"After that.. Well I spent all of these years looking for a witch who could have helped me and now I've finally found one. This is why Im here. From what I know she's a Emily descendant and her name is Bonnie Bennett. Do you know her?" asked Jolie full of hope. Bonnie was her only chsnce to get Eve back.She heard she was a powerful witch and she had already done something similar so it wouldnt have been difficult doing it again for Eve. Stefan was the first to talk "Bonnie Bennett is a friend of ours and Im sure she will be happy to help us getting Eve back. I'll call her now and I'll tell her to come here so we can see what we can do", Jolie nodded super happy and patiently waited for the long time descendant of Emily.
She was so happy, she would have finnally got her sister back to life and nothing would have divided them again.
Bonnie arrived in a hurry and when they explained her the situation she decided to help Jolie in her great grandmother Emily's name. She knew that that spell would have requested a lot of magic and that it would exhauted her but she wanted to make her family proud and if that was the way she would have gladly done it.
Damon and Stefan brought Eve's coffin at home meanwhile Bonnie got herself ready for the spell hoping with all of her heart she would be successfull, after all it wasnt that easy.
When everything was ready Bonnie staryed pronouncing some words that Jolie recognised, she knew that spell, she saw it in her mother's grimoire, but unluckily she couldnt practice magic, not again, at least.
When Bonnie finished the spell everyone patiently waited but Eve wouldnt wake up.
Was it some sort of a family thing? Jolie decided to get closer to the coffin and in that moment Eve suddenly sat up straight and took a deep breath. What the hell happened?
