I don't Believe In Monsters

Chapter 20

Damon's POV

I hear her screams running through my head. Her cries as she falls to the ground. Katherine's attempts to save herself as she falls to the ground as well. Veins covering Katherine's face. Stefan's face dropping as he falls to the ground yelling about Elena's death. I hear Ric yelling and crying.

Finally I hear my yells and screams as I snap back into the reality that consumes me. "YOU CANT TAKE HER FROM ME! SHES ALL I HAVE! STEFAN UNTIE ME!" I yell louder than I believe I ever have before.

Stefan speeds over to me and fumbles with the black, tight knots until he finally gets them untied. He quickly runs to Elena, who lies on the ground, blood covering her body. I guess his humanity switched on when he saw her stab herself.

I throw the rope over the side of the bridge as I run to Elena as fast as I possibly can. When I get to the spot where she lies on the ground, I push Stefan, without looking up and he goes off of the side of the bridge. Hopefully that will keep him down and out of it for a while.

I caress Elena's cheek at I pull the stake out of her heart, hoping and praying to a God I don't believe in that she will somehow wake up.

 I put my wrist in her mouth after I bite it. I try giving her CPR hoping that it might start up her heart again. When I realise that she's never going to wake I fall to my knees.

I can't breath. I need her in my life. I block out Alaric's yells until I cant hear them anymore. I look over to him, and he is passed out. Stefan probably hit his head on a rock or something, but honestly I could care less.

I'm trying to imagine a life without my Elena in it, and I can't. I just can't. I sit on the ground and tears fall from my eyes for the first time in a long time.

I hear rustling from underneath the bridge as Stefan jumps back on here soaked and wet. He looks a little ticked but he is trying not to show it for my sake.

"Go. Take Alaric and go." I say quietly as I sit next to Elena with my knees up to my chest.

"But, damon-" I cut him off.

"Go! Take him and go! Now!" I yell. I don't care how much he cares about her. All I know is that I cared about her 10 times more. I did have my blood in her system, but it would'nt do her any good. She staked herself. She's gone forever. I'll never see her again.

Elena's POV

I hear Alaric, Stefan's, and Damon's screams. I hear, "YOU CANT TAKE HER FROM ME! SHES ALL I HAVE! STEFAN UNTIE ME!" From Damon.

My chest is getting tighter as it starts blocking air through my throat. A tear rolls down my cheek as I black out never to open my eyes again.

Until I do. I mean I don't actually open my eyes. It's in my head. I look around to see where I am. I am in a cabin. The lakehouse cabin. Why am I here? Am I in heaven?

"Hello Elena." I hear someone say. I turn around quickly to see Uncle John. Or my father.

"Dad?" I ask.

"Wow. Never thought I'd hear you call me that. Yeah. Elena it's me." He says.

"Why are you here?" I ask quietly.

"I'm going to explain to you why your about to live." He says.

"I staked myself I'm never coming back." I say.

"Hear me out. That night, when esther made the originals, she came to me. She brought  me Micheals blood and her spell book. She said she was going to turn me. She forced Micheals blood down my throat, slit my throat and performed the spell. She made me one of them. An original." John says.

"Wait so, your an Original? Then how was I born? Vampires can't procreate." I say confusingly.

"You were a miracle child. When I woke up that night I was in transition. Esther was gone, and there was a little bottle of blood. Micheals blood left over. I don't know why she left it but she did. I fed and I didn't have to transform on full moons anymore. I kept the bottle for years, and years, and years. Until Isobel and I had you. Before you were born I found a witch. I gave you Micheals blood and the witch did the spell. I didn't have to kill you because the witch combined two spells. One was the ritual. And the other was to keep Micheals blood in your system for forever. So when you ever where to die, you would wake up as a vampire. And you can't die because you have the Original spell to carry on with you forever. Everything works the same as the originals. You can only die with a white oak stake." John finishes.

By the end of this my mouth is wide open and I don't know what to say.

"I'm, I'm going to wake up? I'm going to be a vampire?" I ask my voice shaking.

"Yes Elena." John whispers.

I mean I don't want to be a vampire. I would never be a vampire. Ever! But after, hearing what damon yelled before I died, and all that John did for me. I have to accept it. I can't leave my friends and family. And I won't.

I jump into my father's arms and I say, "Thank you. So much John. Will I see you again?" 

"I'll visit Mystic falls sometime soon. Goodbye Elena." Is the last words I hear before I launch up from the dead to see Damon standing on the side of the bridge, no ring on his finger, about to catch on fire.

Damon's POV

When I said I won't want to ever live without her, I wasnt joking. I won't. So I get up and I stand at the edge of the bridge. I slowly pull the ring off of my finger and throw it into the water.

A few seconds later as I stand in pain I hear, "DAMON!" As I feel someone's arms push me into the water as whoever it is falls with me.

Elijahs POV

I groan as I start to wake up up. When I do, I look around the room. There is blood everywhere.

"Elijah!" Haley yells as she runs over to me with Hope in her arms. I pull her into my arms and hold her tight. "Are you okay, are you hurt?" I ask talking fast.

"Yes Elijah I'm okay. Pull the object out of Klaus's chest and I'll get Rebekah a blood bag." Haley says and I nod.

We both do our jobs and we hear moans and groans from the two getting up. I look over into the corner and see a women with a smile on her face. I run over to her and snap her neck before she even sees it coming. "Not again." I say. She was the witch helping Katherine.

"Since I can still hear when that thing is in my chest, I heard Katherine say something about Wickery Bridge. Let's go." Klaus says.
