Dangerous Love (The Vampire Diaries) [editing]

Chapter 25

I sat in the living room with Caroline and my brothers, who were all grinning at me. "Stop." I whined. "You look like you're happy that I might just go ballistic."

"We'll lock you up." Damon smirked.

"What does she mean?" Caroline asked, looking at Stefan.

"There are two ways that Aurora's emotions come back on." Stefan said after clearing his throat.

"One. She'll go into a fit of tears for a week." Damon told her, and I glared at him.

"Two. They shut off again, and her mind goes blank causing her to backlash and kill everything in a fifty mile radius." Stefan told her, frowning. "There are a few cities in Italy that were wiped out."

"Why is she still in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked in horror, and I felt a sharp pick at my heart. She was horrified, of me. "Why isn't she out of the state?"

"Caroline." Damon scolded. "She can still hear you, she's right there."

"No, it's okay." I told him, taking a gulp of air greedily.

"Is it almost time?" Stefan asked, seeming worried.

"My body is almost prepared." I nodded.

Caroline checked her phone. "Matt and Tyler are on their way, Jeremy's coming too. So, why is she so different? Like, why does she have to prepare her body for turning them back on?"

"I'm part witch, Caroline." I told her. "I have to do things differently. I used magic to turn them off, so I have to use it to turn them back on. And, the turning them back on part will be harder than taking them away."

"Oh."

"Yes." I nod. "It's complicated, and the only way that even I understand this, is because the witches explained it in great detail. It took nearly five fucking hours. Do you know how batty some of them are? Gods be damned, if I ever have to go through another lecture, I might just rip out my own heart."

"Maybe we should tie her up now just in case." Caroline laughed nervously, looking at my brothers.

"No." I told her. "I have to be loose, or the magic will destroy me, and everything near me. I have to little control over my powers as it is. Imagine me if i'm chained and bound. I might just rip everything to shreds without touching anything."

"Why the hell are you sounding so calm?" Caroline asked, her mouth falling open.

"There's nothing to worry about until the time comes." I tell her calmly.

As it turns out, I fell asleep as soon as the emotions came back on.

When I woke up, I was thirsty, and there were a few people standing over my body.

"What the hell are all of you looking at?" I as them, frowning. "Never seen an attractive person wake up before?"

"Well, she's still sarcastic."

"Elena, that's her personality. That doesn't go away, though I wish it would." Damon states, looking up at Elena before looking back down at me. "How do you feel?"

"Tired, really, really tired." I yawn, and throw my head back into my pillow. It was ripped out from under me, and I groaned as my face hit the bed. "What the hell?" I asked, gently turning my head to look at everyone.

Damon was smirking, while Elena backed away, giving me a sight. "Aurora." Elijah said, stepping forward so I could see him better without moving. "How are you feeling?"
