This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
(All around me-Flyleaf)
…...
Elena's eyes darted open with a gasp. She took in her bright surroundings. She than looked, and saw Damon was kneeling down to her level, with worried look across his features.
Elena suddenly, felt caged. She silently jumped up, and ran outside, ignoring the scream from behind her. She growled out, the sun was pulsating, making her painfully numb on the inside.
She ignored it, and swept through the woods. Anger fired inside of her. She had a massive headache that was practically killing her. The rays from the sun weren't helping.
She leant against the tree, and let out the loudest scream she could muster. She remembered everything. But the fact, she was now in transition to become a vampire was unknown to her. She kept walking fiercely, letting thick strands of hair cover her face from the excruciating sun.
Now she felt hungry. But what was it she was hungry for? She suddenly smelt a scent, that snapped her out of her thoughts. She saw two campers in the distance.
Elena followed the scent, thinking they had some food to give her. She was right there when they turned around. "Hi" she said lowly. They stared over her in a creepy manner, that usually would scare her.
She sniffed the air, and realized the tantalizing scent was coming from his neck. She inwardly growled, unknowingly to herself.
The campers were ready to attack her and try something, till she fell to the ground whimpering. Elena's felt her face suddenly vibrate right underneath the skin. Something was stuck in her gums ready to break free. It pushed through her gums and lengthened. "Ms are you alright" one of them asked worriedly as they knelt down to her level.
She peeked up at him through her eyelashes in an innocent manner. But the man saw her face and gasped out. He was ready to scream and run. She darted up and followed her instincts. She grabbed hold of him, and wrestled him to the ground.
She bit into his neck, feeling nothing but red, hazy hunger take over her whole being.
The first drop of blood slithered down her throat in a flash. She moaned from the high feeling of ecstasy flutter through her bloodstream. She unconsciously nuzzled into the bite, relishing in it.
And soon enough, he was dead. Elena dropped the guy, and looked to see his partner in crime, was frozen in fear staring at the sight in front of him. She was a demon, an imaginary creature. He must be dreaming this.
She relentlessly lunged forward, forcefully tackling the man to the ground. She growled, and bit into his neck. He screamed out, and tried his best to struggle. He was scared.
He didn't want to die, especially not like this. But before any other thoughts could pass through his mind, he was dead.
Elena ripped her head away, and stayed on top of the dead corpse. She than realized. She was a vampire.
And she just killed two people. A low prominent whistle suddenly broke her away from her thoughts.
She jumped up and looked to see two brothers staring at her and her mess. Her eyes widened. "I thought you were dead" Elena whimpered out, backing away quickly. She than looked over to Elijah.
"I thought you were going to kill him" she screamed out louder than ever. He winced slightly, but kept his mouth shut. "Well I thought you were dead too, my little doppelganger" he cooed out, cornering Elena into a tree.
She growled and looked up at him with a sneer. "I am dead technically" she replied smartly. His arms suddenly were raised above her head, resting on the tree, trying to cage her in between the tree and his body.
She gracefully slide out of his reach. "Now why are you here, mind I ask" she asked quietly backing away, so she stood in front of both of them. "I just finished my first transformation as a hybrid" Klaus answered.
"So where are your Salvatore puppies" Klaus decided to keep on talking. "I don't know" Elena answered honestly.
Elena felt oddly uncomfortable in the sun, and felt her skin was crawling beneath the surface. Klaus and Elijah were talking, but Elena was getting to irritated to keep listening to the senseless murmurings. "Can you guys please stop talking" Elena couldn't help but hiss out.
They looked over to her, and noticed her unconscious cringing. "You should come with us" Elijah offered quietly. Elena peeked up at them, and nodded innocently. Klaus lead the way.
Elijah was behind him, walking with Elena. Klaus couldn't help but feel a sense of jealousy. Elijah and Elena had gotten close, during the while, when they were getting together to make a plan to kill Klaus. "But that obviously didn't work, since the man himself is leading us to some unknown place" Elena thought silently to herself.
Her skins felt all prickly suddenly, as if all her limbs had gone numb and fallen asleep. But than suddenly like a truck, an acidic singe spread through her. Her skin was on fire, and she was practically being burnt alive.
She couldn't move. She stopped and groaned out, falling to the ground, screaming in pain. Elijah was the first to assist. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around Elena, covering her for her safety.
She breathed out her thanks, and nuzzled into the jacket for comfort. Knowing now the darkness was her new safe haven.
She was suddenly lifted by Elijah, but instead of carrying her. He handed her over to Klaus. He grabbed her with an arrogant smirk: that Elena didn't notice.
Elena felt it when she was being shifted into someone else's arms; who she assumed was Klaus.
But she was to weak to protest or anything. She felt tired. She sighed out sleepily and nuzzled into Klaus's chest unconsciously. Klaus sadly felt that zap, when she leant her head against his chest: and it went straight to his undead heart.
He knew very well by now, she was in sleepy oblivion by the time they reached the apartment.
He gently set her down on the couch. Elijah behind him, made sure to draw all the curtains throughout the apartment.
Klaus slowly pulled the jacket off of her, and it showed her face had healed from the rough burns that embedded her skin momentarily.
Klaus felt the weakness in him start to show, only just for a short second. He quickly pushed it back. Human emotions were worth nothing to him. But sadly everything about Elena, reminded him of his past.
His past lover. Charlotte Petrova. The original doppelganger, that started this whole mess.
No. He knew deep down: the innocent Petrova was not the one in charge of this mess that was started. It was his fault. After he found out the truth about his mother and her affairs, and who he really was. He became power-hungry.
And there was nothing no one, not even himself could do to stop it. And now here he was 1,000 years later, watching the doppelganger of his one and only love from the past.
Elena was more like Charlotte than Katherine ever was. He noticed that instantly, when he met Elena.
"Remember what you told me brother" Elijah's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He knew perfectly what he meant. Klaus had preached to Elijah about love being a vampire's greatest weakness.
"Elijah, you must be mad if you think I have fallen in love with this silly little human" he didn't realize the ignorance to his words. "Well see you admit it, you're in love with her, because she's not human now" he replied slyly.
Klaus scoffed and rolled his eyes at his younger brother.
"I haven't fallen for the silly little doppelganger" Klaus verbally corrected himself. "I'd beg to differ brother" and with that Elijah left Klaus alone with the stirring newborn. She was now waking up.
She opened her eyes, and looked Klaus straight in the eye. Warm chocolate against emotionless aqua.
"Please tell me it was all just a dream, and I'm dreaming now; and I just need to wake the hell up" she practically pleaded with him.
Klaus stared at her. His stance softened a millimeter unconsciously. "Sorry lovely, but it wasn't a dream" he tried to play it off as if he was mocking her.
She held his stare.
"God now I'm stuck here till nightfall" she practically seethed out to herself. Klaus left her to herself and walked to the kitchen.
Odd enough he felt her shadow right behind him.
She came to sit at the island, looking at him.
Her dark hazy stare was burning a whole in his back, as he rummaged through the fridge.
Klaus turned back to her. "Is there anything I could help you with" he questioned, annoyance clear in his tone. But she kept her neutral stare and silence. It was quite odd. Klaus felt weird under her gaze.
Her deep dark stare penetrated him oddly. Elena couldn't stop staring. She blinked rapidly.
Why is he making her feel all funny now. She composed her features, to a perfect poker face.
"I need a ring" she replied lowly. "And how'd you think, you'll get that" he questioned, with a slight smirk. Klaus knew what she was asking him for, but he just wanted her to say it.
"I was assuming you could go into your connections, and see if there is a witch that can spell a ring for me" she realized how lame she sounded.
He chuckled at her. "I'll see what I can do" he assured her quickly. She couldn't help but smile. "But you should check around, there might be extra talismans around here that I've kept around" he said right before he made his exit.
"You're just going to leave me alone" Elena called out helplessly, knowing no one was listening.
Elena huffed out, and left the kitchen, deciding to go snooping around.
She went into the main bedroom, from what it looked like. She looked through the stuff on the desk. Elena suddenly picked up a piece of paper. It was a sketch.
Elena realized it was her. Or it was someone that looked like her.
She looked around the room, and stopped at a specific painting. She gasped She had remembered the night she found out about Katherine. Elena thought it was the evil twin of hers that she saw in the picture. Well she was partially right about that.
But this painting was exactly her. The long, straight hair, eyes and everything about the painting screamed Elena.
Elena ignored it, assuming it must've been the original doppelganger.
Elena continued to snoop around. She found a small jewelry chest, on the book shelf. She cautiously opened it, she was overcame with innocent curiosity, as she stared down at it.
She saw a ring there. She picked it up slowly. She set the box down and looked at the ring. It was beautiful It was black moonstone with a bright sparkly blue eye in the middle.
She felt somehow attacked to it. She slipped it on her pointer finger. She held her hand out in front of her, and admired it. She saw a delicate sun ray was reflecting from in between the curtains in front of her. She was ready to jump back screaming.
But she than noticed there was no pain, she felt perfectly fine. She couldn't help but smile: she has found her ring.
She went into the bathroom. She than realized she couldn't go anywhere. Not with the way she looked. She had a trail of dried up blood spread all over her face wildly.
Her hair looked tangly and just messy in general.
Elena sighed. She bent down and washed her face as quickly as possible. After throwing some hard work into it, she finally got her face entirely clean.
She suddenly heard the door slam shut. She darted up into the living room, stopping Klaus. He looked down at me with a smirk. "Why hello there" he said slightly teasing. "I've wanted to try that for so long" Elena sounded genuinely gleeful.
"I'm hungry" she stated boredly. He seemed to be joyful from her statement. He went into the kitchen and did whatever it was he was doing. He came out soon with a mug. He handed it over to Elena.
Elena being ignorant thought it was coffee or something.
Elena gulped it down, feeling the soothing chill run down her throat as she finished the unknown contents.
Elena felt extra hungry suddenly. "More" she breathed out silently, looking up at him.
He seemingly smirked from the breaths escaping her. She saw him standing there. She growled, and darted up: shoving him out of the way as she ran out of the house.
By now it had reached nightfall.
By the time she had left, Klaus had easily recognized the ring on her finger. Charlotte's ring. The one that he kept all these years in perfect condition, untouched.
Though he should be angry for her taking such an artifact of his life. He couldn't muster it.
He let her leave. But he knew he would have to go looking for her later to fetch her back and clean up her mess.
Klaus couldn't stay in the house for long. He had her scent embedded in his mind, as he tracked her through the woods.
He smelt her, her scent was mixed with blood. He groaned. Shit it was a lot of blood,
He followed the scent and suddenly stopped in front of a bonfire.
He saw through the flames. Elena was feeding off her third victim from what it looked like.
"Elena" Klaus called out. She pulled away from the dead body she was just previously feeding on. She seemed to have snapped out of some unconscious daze, when she heard his voice.
She looked up at him with apprehensive blurry eyes. She than looked around her. "I did this, didn't I" she asked, panic rising in her throat.
He was suddenly in front of her, kneeling down to her level. Elena, couldn't do this. She felt the emotions hit.
She sobbed out uncontrollably. "No, no" she seemed to be in denial. But Klaus couldn't quite detect any certain name of emotion in her voice. It was all mixed up.
"I can't do this: I can't become some blood-thirsty demon that kills everyone" she gasped out. Klaus was standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
He sighed, and knew it was best to leave her alone, and let her deal with the breakdown by herself.
He dumped the three bodies into the fire and watched as they burned quickly into ash. He looked over and saw Elena had completely died inside. It was quite noticeable on the outside.
"Tomorrow, sunrise, I'll give you back the ring" she deadpanned, through the misty air.
"You're not going to-" Klaus faltered, not able to utter the words. "Yes, at sunrise, I'm going to take this ring off, and let myself burn to death" she spat out relentlessly.
He felt it snap. He growled out, and suddenly slammed her against the tree, bringing her off her feet, into the air.
She choked out and stared at him unbelievably. "You haven't even learned the perks, and you're already giving up" he growled out, gripping her throat tighter.
Elena was scared when she saw Klaus's eyes blazed fiery amber gold.
"What, are you going to show me the perks than" she challenged rapidly. He smirked instantly and loosened his grip slightly. "Why of course my lovely" he breathed out seductively.
Elena felt her mind was going hazy from his close proximity.
She shook her head vigorously, and willed herself to snap out of the daze.
He let her go. Her feet hit the ground, and she gasped out for uneeded breath.
She backed herself away from him for safety.
"Fine than" she whispered lowly, knowing he could hear her.
"Elena" they both heard distant yells. Klaus and Elena both recognized the voices. Stefan and Damon Salvatore.
They came into view and saw the scene before them. Elena was standing there like a deer in headlights. Cried up blood was smeared all over her face like earlier.
And Klaus was standing there with an emotionless expression.
"Elena" Stefan was suddenly in front of her. The sudden movement caused Elena to gasp out from surprise and involuntarily backed away, closer to Klaus.
Their eyes widened as they saw the movement.
They looked around and saw the blazing fire, with traces of ash. They knew what had happened. "Please tell me you didn't" Damon whispered unconsciously.
Elena felt the guilt hit her. She was just a disappointment to the two brothers. Elena nodded vigorously, trying to hide the traitorous tears.
"I did, I didn't mean to hurt them" Elena muttered, not knowing how to explain it. Quite honestly Elena liked it, when she fed from the three unknown humans.
She stopped crying, when she thought about it. Stefan and Damon recognized the look in her eyes. She enjoyed it, and she wanted to do it again.
But they knew she didn't want to admit it out loud. "Elena, just come with us, I could help you" that statement from Stefan sparked something in Klaus.
Klaus growled and came right up behind Elena, pinning her back to his chest possessively, as he glared at Stefan.
Elena kept a calm façade. "Umm Stefan: Klaus and Elijah found me today after I completed the transition, and Klaus said he'll help me" Elena didn't realize how ignorant her words were.
"Elena, you do realize who he is right" Damon asked. "He killed you and Jenna both" Damon spat out. Elena flinched back slightly from his piercing words. He just re-opened another sealed wound.
She growled in remembrance. "Well if someone didn't force their blood on me, I wouldn't be this now" Elena fired back with a growl.
Damon flinched back. Everyone knew he was guilty, and regrets forcing it upon her. But he couldn't, especially not now.
"Klaus will be helping me through my newborn phase, and I'm going to stay with him and Elijah" Elena said gravely, breaking the awkward silence.
They were ready to protest. But Elena cut them off, before they could utter a single word.
"It is my decision, please respect it" she spoke with fierce calmness. They seemed surprised by her sudden new exterior. They just nodded silently. Elena silently walked off as quick as she could.
Klaus stood in the exact same spot, and looked over to The Salvatores. "Stay away from Elena" Klaus growled out, as he was suddenly in front of the two young vampires. "If you try to come near her, I will personally rip your hearts out" he promised lowly. They visibly flinched, knowing Klaus was able to do that in the blink of an eye if he wanted to.
"Don't screw it up" Klaus called out over his shoulder, as he walked off in the direction where Elena went.
