Ever since the Other Side collapsed, and both Damon and Bonnie were gone, Elena was mulling over what to do next, weighing every possible option.

She spent most of her time avoiding everybody, because they would just remind her even more of the loss she suffered.

Elena decided that this time she won't take the easy road, that she won't turn her humanity switch off, every day she kept repeating to herself; 'I'm stronger this time, I will survive this and one day be happy again'.


About a week after that tragedy occurred, Elena woke up in her dorm at Whitmore and spotted her journal opened beside her, something strange was written in it.

She took a closer look and saw it was a spell. What was even more odd was that she could somehow read and identify it. She flipped the page and saw another spell.


Her eyes went wide and to say that she had a puzzled expression would be an understatement. 'I wrote somekind of unbinding spell and the spell that Esther used to create Original vampires.'Elena mused to herself, she inwardly started asking herself why would she write those spells exactly.

The Petrova doppelganger also pondered if she may be a witch and someone binded her magic, and if that were true, who would do that and why, also if she really was a witch somehow, it would mean that John Gilbert wasn'ther biological father and Jeremy is also not related to her by blood, making him her adoptive brother.

She debated on what to do. Elena couldn't go to Bonnie because she was dead and talking to Stefan at the moment was a bad idea because he was still grieving, in his own way, over Damon, like she was, and he most likely wouldn't be able to help her anyway.

The doppelganger also didn't trust Luke and Liv with this big bombshell, plus she was still pissed at Luke for stopping his twin sister at the middle of chanting the resurrection spell.


Caroline would think that Elena has gone crazy or she would be judgemental big time because that was just in her nature, and that was the last thing the doppelganger needed right now.

Her thoughts led to the youngest Mikaelson, Rebekah, as she looked at the spells, and realised that while one was written in latin, the other wasn't even written in latin alphabet but it was actually written in what seemed like the old Norse language; Runic script more precisely Elder Futhark.

Elena decided Rebekah was her best solution to turn to. The doppelganger thought that since Rebekah is a 1000 years old, she might be able to shed some light on what was happening to her and if Elena was completely honest with herself nothing was keeping her here.

Besides, she couldn't go home due to the stupid anti-magic border thing and her boyfriend and one of her best friends were dead, which meant if she was weighing pros and cons on 'stay' or 'leave', the option 'leave' would definitely prevail.

So it took Elena an hour to choose what to wear, pack her essentials into a duffel bag, which comprised of her journal, minute sized pouch with a small piece of white oak inside that she kept for herself ever since she and her friends killed Finn, a mini fridge with blood bags, and lastly her favourite clothes that she most often wore.

After that she left her dorm room and the Whitmore college all together, jumped in her silver Porsche Cayenne S and drove away.

As Elena just passed the exit out of Mystic Falls, she decided to head straight to Richmond before calling Rebekah, needing to distance herself from her friends, who would, despite the note she left, most likely look for her incessantly when they found out she was gone.
