We have been back at our mansion sized house for a few days since my awakening in the woods, Katherine is here for some unknown reason. My mind is in a million pieces, I don't understand what is happening or why everyone seems to be keeping some major secret from me; when clearly it's about me. I take it upon myself to get some answers, I get up from the table and walk into the living room, I see a fire is lit and Damon is sitting on the couch tipping back some whiskey. Typical Damon.
I shake my head smiling as I walk into the room, Damon turns to look at me. And then turns his attention back to the fire. I make my way over to sit down next to him. It's time to quit with all the silence, it's time to talk.
He keeps his eyes glued to the fire as I come up with where to start first.
"Damon, you have to believe me when I say I don't remember anything. I don't know what is going on, and I'm so confused and everyone is keeping something from me and yet I am the one reaping the consequences from whatever the hell is going on, and it's not fair. You hate me right now for something I don't remember doing. And I miss you, Damon. I need answers, so we can try to make sense of all this."
He takes a quick drink and turns his eyes to lock onto mine. "Elena, I miss you too. But right now I am a bit uneasy about everything. Until we find out what is wrong with you."
I make a very confused face a bit offended and quickly ask "What do you mean there's something wrong with me?"
"Look I'm not being a dick when I say that, there really is something going on. That none of us understand. Something has a hold over you, something that has created a monster in you. You are possesed by something, or someone..... That's why you can't remember the incident with Klaus..... or........
He lets the last part, fall short.
I move closer to him, curious about what the next part is that he isn't telling me. "Or what, Damon?"
Just then Caroline runs into the room, her breathing heavy. "Guys, there's something wrong with Bonnie!"
We both vamp speed over to the front doorway, and see Bonnie screaming in pain, barely able to breathe.
"Bonnie?!" I scream.
"Bonnie, say something!" Caroline cries out.
A dark shadow falls over the room making it hard to see 4 feet in front of us. The lights go out, and it is pitch black.
"What is happening?" I ask unvoluntarily from fear.
I feel something grab my arm and I gasp loudly.
"Shh, it's me, Elena." Damon's voice cuts through my panicing thoughts.
Caroline is kneeled over Bonnie, crying and begging her to say something. Blood is running from her nose as her screams start to silence. Caroline begins to shake her in attempts to get her to respond, but she is unconscious.
Suddenly, I feel a crawling sensation start to come over me, spreading through my legs and my arms.. I feel something grab my other arm. "Damon is that you?" Damon replies, "Elena I'm right here." I look over my shoulder in the opposite direction of Damon realizing he doesn't have hold of both of my arms. I start to feel a tugging on my arm opposite to the one he is holding. "Damon! Something is grabbing my other arm! Damon!" I scream. Tears start to fall from my eyes, I look down to the floor.... deep red crimson tear drops hit the floor. Damon jumps in front of me, fear written all over his face. "Elena, babe! I'm right here. Focus on my voice. Look at me."
I try to focus on his face, hang on to every last word he is saying to me... The sensation has spread all throughout my body, I feel empty, souless, lost. I begin to fade out of reality.... losing sight of the face I love, the face of Damon. It is not of Damon's face anymore.... There are yellow eyes piercing into mine, frozen hands touching my body, giving me chills. Long fingernails slicing my skin open, the deep sound of a monster I vaguely remember.......
I feel it's breath on my face, terror has consumed me.
"What do you want?!" I scream in pain.
My screaming is cut short by cold hands around my neck, breathing becomes harder and harder. I can feel the blood flow being cut off. I can't breathe... My feet aren't touching the safe security of Earth itself anymore.... I am in a chokehold awaiting my death..... I just wish I could tell Damon how much I love him, how much he means to me.... to say goodbye.............
Then......
everything fades to black..............
