Elena POV 

I was asleep. Or dead and on my way to the afterlife or whatever. I knew that. Because the flashes were showing me my memories, seeing my life one last time before I was sucked into oblivion. But somethings changed. 

Elijah didn't save me by summoning someone using that feather. He gave me an elixir. Jenna escaped from the ritual and wasn't sacrificed, Klaus had a back up vampire. 

I opened my eyes. I expected something anything but what I saw. Damon and Stefan looking at me with concern. 

"Hey you okay?" Asked Stefan and Damon continued to just hover. I looked around and saw grim faces filled with sorrow. 

"What happened?" I asked in a weak voice as I tried sitting up but with much difficulty. 

"Elijah lied, Jenna's dead and Bonnie did a spell that saved your life" Said Damon in a pissed off tone. So that's why everyone was so distraught. I've lost someone else, another person I care about is dead. And it's all my fault. Klaus wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. "Hey I know that look, it wasn't your fault you didn't know Elijah lied to us" Said Damon in a reassuring tone and I wanted to believe him but a part of me didn't. But I nodded my head like I did as tears ran down my face that I didn't even realise were there. 

Jeremy. I still had Jeremy, I still had some family left, some hope in this nightmare-ish life we've come to live. 

-TIMESKIP- 

Turns out hope doesn't last as long as I'd hoped. Damon's dying from a werewolf bite, Tyler's bite to be specific. And we're all going to have to say goodbye to someone else. We've all lost so much already and we can't catch a break I mean why is the universe so cruel? 

I was laid with Damon. As he was dying I couldn't help but think of how everyone would be affected when he died. Stefan might go off the rails, Damon is his brother, Alaric would grieve after losing his drinking buddy and only friend, besides Jenna except she's dead as well, that's not in high school and in his history class. Caroline wouldn't care she'd probably be happy and same with Bonnie, Jeremy hates him and so does Tyler and Matt although I'm guessing Tyler would feel some guilt since it's his bite that's killing Damon after all. 

We were talking. And the next I'm kissing him. We broke apart and I went to lay my head back into his chest as comfort for his impending death when I saw it. It made me laugh weakly, disbelievingly. 

A pure white feather.

Stefan POV 

I was heading to the Boarding house. Klaus was a bust, all he had to say was 'let fate do its work Stefan and all will be right with the world'. Now I needed to say goodbye to Damon, because I can't save him. 

I walked into the house and paused. What the hell was I suppose to say to my dying brother? Who I haven't had the best relationship with but here we are? God why did he have to die. 

"Stefan?" I heard a familiar voice ask and I looked into the room directly infront of the doorway. There she was, alive and well except I could tell she was a vampire, she seemed different. 

"Jenna?" I asked her and she smiled. She turned back to the magazine in her lap like she didn't have a care in the world. Maybe I got bite by Tyler and is now hallucinating. She seemed relaxed like she didn't die and now apparently come back to life. 

"Stefan?!! Stefan?!!" I heard Elena shout and she seemed happy, overjoyed whilst I was just standing between Jenna and Elena confused looking back and forth. 

"Hey Elena what's going on?" She asked and Elena didn't seem to notice her dead undead aunt was now just undead. 

"A feather appeared like it did with us, he's going to be okay, Damon's going to be okay" she said relieved and then it hit me. 

Elijah didn't lie.

Caroline POV 

So everyone was worried about Damon dying but I was worried about Jeremy. Before we caught Damon my mom shot Jeremy, the bullet was want for Damon but Damon vamp-sped out of harms way putting Jeremy right in its path. 

I was sat in the Grill consoling my mom who is thinking she killed Jeremy. God I hope she didn't, it would kill her, not literally though cause god knows we've lost too many people we care about recently. 

We were waiting for Bonnie to call tell us Jeremy was alright and he was coming to the Grill because he's a growing teenage boy and he's hungry cause there always hungry. And god we can't lose Jeremy it would destroy Elena, she's just lost Jenna and John and now Damon's dying too, she can't lose her brother she just can't. 

Finally our torture was over and my phone rang. I picked up my phone and was disappointed to see who it was. 

"Stefan, hey what's up?" I asked trying to sound cheerful even though panic and nervousness is eating away at my insides like some sort of vampire flesh eating parasite. 

"So Jenna's alive, John might be too and we think Damon's going to Alright. Elijah didn't lie Caroline, we just didn't see anybody in person he probably works from afar" he said and OH MY GOD YESSSSS!!!! He could save Jeremy and everyone would be alright it would al be cool. And no one needs to know besides those who already do. 

"Oh my god that's great, yeah that's great uhh I gotta go call Bonnie and tell her you just look after Damon make sure this feather guy isn't screwing you over, 'kay?" I Said into the receiver and once getting the affirmative I hung up and immediately called Alaric incase Bonnie was trying a spell or something. 

"Caroline?" He asked and he sounded defeated like something bad had happened. 

"Yeah So turns out feather guy works from afar so if Bonnie didn't bring Jeremy back look around for a pure white feather, please?" I asked Because manner matter even in desperate situations. 

"Caroline I'm so sorry" I heard him say and my happy, smiling face dropped into a confused and scared one. 

"Alaric what are you talking about?" I asked in a whisper cause god no it could t be true, Elena can't lose her brother. 

"There is no feather Caroline, Jeremy's dead"
