Please Let This Just Be a Nightmare
:::::
Elena’s PoV
:::::
Looking around the basement my eyes land on Damon and Tyler. How did we get here? The last I recall is going to find Katherine. Did Kol possess me again? I pause, Damon and Tyler seem just as confused so probably not since Kol couldn’t have possessed all three of us at the same time.
Stefan is looking around too and then he asks, “Damon what’s going on?”
Damon responds by punching him in the face and then using his confusion to toss him into the cell before slamming the door closed and locking it. As he breathes heavily he says, “You won’t fool us a second time Kol.”
I look to Damon’s left and see Jeremy who says, “Yeah he won’t be fooled like you were Elena. How could you let him kill me? It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t have come up with the brilliant idea for me to kill Kol and his entire Sire-line, I’d still be alive.”
I tear my eyes away from Jeremy despite my knowing he’s telling the truth and focus on what Stefan is saying, “I swear I’m not Kol. Ask me things only I would know.”
Damon just frowns so Stefan supplies, “I know it wasn’t you who snuck into Mary Francis’ room when I was seven and cut off her curls. I did it because she picked on me the day before, but her father accused you, and Father switched you in front of her father.”
He pauses then adds, “I also know it wasn’t you who glued the pages of Father’s Bible to each other. I did that too figuring it'd be funny, but he thought you did it, and he switched you for that too.”
He pauses again and when Damon doesn’t respond with more than a frown he tells Damon, “I know you lost your virginity to Ellen Lockwood on your 14th birthday.”
Tyler butts in with, “Dude, you slept with my ancestor?”
Damon doesn’t say anything, but I catch him rolling his eyes as Stefan says, “Uh huh, I can list all the women he slept with until Katherine turned us. Let’s see there was Ellen and then Lucy Montgomery, and Elizabeth Fell, then there was…”
Damon takes a step towards the window and says, “Okay, I believe you’re you, now shut up,” then he reopens the door and goes in helping Stefan stand.
Stefan leans on Damon as they leave the cell and we all head upstairs to the living room. Tyler tells us, “Uh, I have something I need to do, so I’ll catch you guys later okay?”
We all nod so Tyler leaves while the rest of us sit down and Damon looks at Stefan long and hard before he says, “So somehow Kol escaped and we have no idea how or who he’s possessing right now.”
Stefan and I both nod, so as I ignore my mother standing to the left of Stefan across from me I ask, “So what do we do now?”
My mother throws in, “Oh now you want to fix it, but you couldn’t be bothered to save your own brother’s life.”
I put my hands over my ears and tell her, “Stop, I didn’t know Kol was possessing anyone or I would have stopped him from killing Jeremy.”
I barely notice as Stefan’s eyes widen before he asks Damon, “Uh, Jeremy’s dead?”
Damon nods and tells him, “Yes, Kol killed him while in Elena’s body, so she’s dealing with the Hunter’s Curse right now. I don’t know who she was just talking to, but you can be sure they’re blaming her for everything and tormenting her at every turn.”
Stefan just nods so Damon nods back then says, “What we need is a Witch, does anyone know how to get in touch with that Witch Katherine brought here when she was after the Moonstone? She was Bonnie’s cousin right? Would her contact info be in Bonnie’s phone?”
Nodding I tell him, “I know they’ve been talking hold on a sec I have Bonnie’s phone in your room.”
Running up the stairs I studiously ignoring Bonnie who says, “Yeah just go rifling through my things. You let me die and now I don’t even get the right to privacy? You’re useless Elena.”
As I grab the phone off the bedside table I tell her, “Shut up, just shut up!”
I head back down the stairs and then hand the phone to Damon as I tell him, “Her name is Lucy Bennett. You better call her since I’m not entirely sure what’s real and what’s not.”
He nods and flips through Bonnie’s contact list before smiling and hitting the send button.
It picks up after the second ring, “Bonnie, how’s it going?”
Damon frowns and says, “Uh actually this is Damon Salvatore. I have some bad news. Bonnie tried to raise Silas and he killed her before a Hunter killed him.”
I can hear the tears in her voice as she says, “Oh my Goddess!”
Damon’s frown deepens as he says, “We’re in a bit of a jam and we need a Witch to help contain an Original who is possessing people and killing all of our loved ones while he is in our bodies. I know you don’t owe us anything but Bonnie would have helped us and you’re our last shot at figuring out how to fix this.”
Lucy sighs then says, “I’m actually visiting friends in Charlotte so once I get some supplies I can be there in five hours. I’ll meet you at the Gilbert house.”
Damon nods even though she can’t see it and says, “Okay, we’ll see you then.”
Five hours later finds us in my old house. I want to tear out my hair because the spirits of my loved ones just won’t leave me alone. On some level I know they’re not real and are in fact just hallucinations but they’re very convincing. Surprisingly though, none of them are trying to get me to kill myself this time for which I am very grateful. They have been having fun ridiculing my every move though and as I enter my house I cringe as Jeremy’s spirit says, “Ah, back to where you hatched up the crazy plan that got me killed.”
Damon leads me to the living room and sits me down on the couch. He hasn’t let me out of his sight for more than a few minutes at a time. When I ask, “Damon, why are you stuck to me like glue?”
He smiles sadly and tells me, “I remember what you tried to do the last time you were Cursed and I’m not going to lose you, not after everything we’ve been through to be together. I will always save you if I can.”
A tear slips out of my eye, which he stops with his thumb as he leans in and kisses me then pulls back and says, “I love you Elena. We will fix this.”
I just nod and ignore Jeremy and Bonnie’s indignant snorts.
A moment later the doorbell rings, so Damon gets up and answers the door. He comes back with the tall statuesque woman that I know is Bonnie’s cousin.
She nods at me and asks, “It was a five-hour drive, you mind if I use your bathroom before we figure out what’s going on?”
I shake my head and tell her, “No, go down the hall and it’s the second door on the right.”
She disappears from sight, but Damon, Stefan and I all rush to her side when we hear her gasp and say, “Oh My Goddess!”
She’s standing in the hall staring into the mirror so Damon says, “I don’t think you look bad even after a five-hour trip so what’s up?”
She points to the mirror and asks, “Do you know him?”
We lean in and look and Oh My God, is that Klaus? Damon frowns and says, “That’s Klaus, the brother of Kol, the one possessing people. How is he in there?”
I reach towards the mirror but Lucy grabs my hand, “Whatever you do don’t touch the glass or we’ll have two Originals possessing people.”
I just nod so she says, “Bathroom first then I’ll look through my book, I think I have the spell we’ll need if you can get me the ingredients I’ll need.”
Damon nods so she heads to the bathroom and we head back to the living room. A few minutes later she returns and sits down across from us before asking, "So how did Kol die? I assume since his brother is trapped in your Mirror that Kol died in this house?”
Damon explains all that has happened in the last few weeks and then Lucy nods and takes a big book out of her bag. She begins flipping through it and mumbling to herself until she says, “Got it, so I need… damn, I don’t suppose you have the DNA of either of the Originals?”
Damon’s frown deepens but he says, “We know where Kol’s body is buried and Caroline was bitten by Klaus, that’s how she died so his bite should have the remains of his venom, which would be DNA right?
Lucy nods so Damon turns to Stefan and asks, “You feel up to collecting DNA brother since you’re the one who buried them and therefore you know specifically where they’re at?”
Stefan nods and takes Damon’s keys from his outstretched hand.
Lucy stands and says, “I need some things from my trunk, I’ll be right back,” and then she follows Stefan outside.
She returns a minute later with a small box filled with jars as she says, “Fortunately I had some idea of what herbs I would need. I brought everything I thought might be required, so I think I have all the herbs we’ll need.”
She sets the box on the coffee table and begins taking jars out of it.
I stare off into space as I unsuccessfully ignore my parent’s as they say, “You’re such a disappointment, Elena. The daughter we loved wouldn’t have killed our son.”
I tune everything out to the best of my ability and just sort of zone out before I’m brought back to the real world by Stefan coming in through the front door. He hands Lucy something wrapped in cloth as he says, “The finger is Kol’s, the other is what I could get of the bite in Caroline’s shoulder.”
Caroline chooses that moment to appear and tell me, “Yeah a bite I wouldn’t have gotten if you hadn’t come up with the harebrained idea to kill a freaking Original. I’d still be alive, Elena, if it wasn’t for you!”
I shout, “Shut up, just shut up I know it’s all my fault. I know.” Damon squats in front of me and turns my face up so he can look into my watery eyes, “You listen to me Elena, I know the hallucinations are telling you this is all your fault but they’re wrong. It can all be traced back to Katherine and Klaus’s conflict. If Katherine hadn’t turned herself Klaus never would have come to town and you’d still be Human and Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy would still be alive. None of this is your fault, do you understand?”
I nod as much as his hand on my chin will allow so he leans in and steals a brief kiss before standing back up and turning to Lucy, “Okay so what do you need? Anything else?”
She nods, “Elena, do you have a pastry brush?”
I frown, what the hell is a pastry brush? Damon laughs and tells her, “Elena wouldn’t know what one was if it bit her but I think I recall seeing one during one of the many times I’ve cooked here.”
He walks into the kitchen and opens a drawer before coming back with a small brush in his hand. As he hands it to her he asks, “Out of curiosity, why do you need it?”
She smiles and says, “If I touch my skin to the glass Klaus will be able to jump bodies and possess me and I’ll be trapped in the mirror and I’m pretty sure Kol would be free and clear and unable to be put back, or at least not without some serious planning and organizing and trying to manipulate people into giving their DNA, plus you’d be down a Witch. Anyhow, the brush will allow me to brush this paste I’ve made onto the glass without having to touch it.”
We both nod, so she asks Damon, “Can you take the Mirror down and bring it in here? Whatever you do don’t touch the glass!”
He nods and goes into the hallway before returning a moment later with the Mirror. He places it down on the coffee table beside all of Lucy’s supplies and then steps back to let Lucy do her work.
She paints the paste mixture onto the surface of the Mirror in the shape of a Pentagram and then she begins chanting. The lights go out and a wind blows through the house and when the lights come back on Kol is trapped inside the mirror and baring his teeth at all of us.
I jump in my seat a minute later when Lucy takes a hammer out of her box and begins smashing the mirror into pieces. When she’s satisfied that the Mirror is nothing but shards of shattered glass and the pieces are small enough she turns back to Damon and tells him, “I need a dust pan, a broom and a garbage bag and, if you have it, a box.”
Damon hurries away to get her what she needs before coming back and standing beside me as we watch Lucy brush the pieces of mirror into the garbage bag and then tie it off before placing it in the box. She adds Kol’s severed finger to the box and then closes the lid.
She hands it to Damon and says, “If I were you I wouldn’t trust the garbage man to get that into the dump I’d bring it yourself and bury it then there will never be a possibility of him ever getting back out.”
Damon nods and as she puts her supplies back into her box he tells her, “Thank you, Lucy, you don’t by chance know how to locate a future Hunter do you?”
She frowns and asks, “Why would you need to do that?”
He frowns back and tells her, “Elena is Cursed with the Hunter’s Curse until the next Hunter is called which requires them to kill their first Supernatural. Since the last time she was Cursed she tried to kill herself because the hallucinations got so bad I’d like to speed up the process by handing the next Hunter a Supe to kill on a silver platter and break the curse sooner rather than later.”
She frowns and sighs, “I’m sorry, I’m not aware of any Magickal way to find a Hunter before or after they’re called. It’s part of their Magick, other Magick can’t find them, otherwise the Originals would have hunted them all down and killed every one of them before they could be called.”
He nods and puts the box down before shaking her hand, “I figured as much, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. Thank you for everything, and I’m very sorry for your loss. Bonnie and I didn’t always see eye to eye, but she was a good person.”
Lucy has tears in her eyes as she laughs and says, “Based on what I know of you as well as what I know of your relationship with her the fact that you just said that speaks volumes about the kind of extraordinary woman my cousin was. Keep my number in case Kol comes back or anything else goes down that requires a Witch. If I can help you I will, in memory of Bonnie.”
Damon, Stefan and I all nod and she walks out the door. Damon turns to Stefan and tells him, “Elena and I are going to go bury this in the landfill. You coming with us?”
Stefan frowns and shakes his head, “No I just want to sleep for a year.”
I laugh at that as I follow the two brothers out of my house before getting into the Camaro and driving towards the County dump to dig a hole and hide a box full of angry Original.
When we get back to the Salvatore Boarding House from the dump, Tyler is waiting for us, and he is covered in blood. He frowns and tells us, “I don’t know why but I just killed Matt and I’m supposed to come here and tell you.”
Damon’s eyes go wide and he says, “Dammit, you must have been compelled.” Then he surprises us by walking up to Tyler and sticking his hand into his chest and pulling Tyler’s heart out.
I gasp and ask, “If he was compelled why did you do that?”
He looks confused as he stares down at the heart in his hand and says, “I don’t know I just had to.”
Shit that means he was compelled too. God will this nightmare ever end? What if we’re compelled to do other things too? When I voice the concern Damon frowns deeper and says, “Well we just imprisoned our one chance at undoing the compulsions, so I think we just have to hope for the best as much as that idea pisses me off.”
I nod as he picks up Tyler’s desiccated body and carries it into the house. Stefan is in the living room pouring himself a drink when we enter and his eyes go wide as he asks, “Uh what happened?”
Damon is still frowning as he says, “Kol happened. We think he compelled Tyler to kill Matt and then compelled me to kill Tyler.”
Stefan’s mouth forms an ‘O’ as he just stands there for a minute. Then he says, “Well barring any further complications I’m heading to bed.”
As he walks by Damon, Damon reaches out and rips out Stefan’s heart before dropping to his knees and cradling his brother’s heartless body, “No, no, no. God Dammit. Stefan I’m so sorry, God please let this just be a nightmare.”
I’m on my knees too and the tears are pouring from my eyes as I look at Stefan’s face still frozen in shock from when he realized what was happening a moment before Damon pulled his heart out.
The spirits of my loved ones gather around the three of us and tell me, “This is all your fault Elena. If you had just left Kol and the cure alone none of the people who have died this week would be dead. This all falls on you.”
I just nod as I watch Damon rocking his brother’s body and crying silent tears that match my own.
