“You do realise that I’m going to want my humanity back,” Katherine сказал(-а) finally, looking at the floor. Damon, Stefan and I tensed and we all glared at her. She looked up and put her hands up. “But don’t get all worked up about it! I need a witches spell to get my humanity back and I don’t know any witches anymore so,” I relaxed a little.
“Even if Ты do get a witch to help you, I won’t let Ты touch Elena,” Damon сказал(-а) angrily. Stefan nodded. Katherine narrowed her eyebrows.
“I know Ты both Любовь her and want her to be safe, but I’m sure that if I’m united with my...

I concentrated hard, causing my closed eyes to scrunch together and my nose to wrinkle. I tried desperately to Поиск through the memories, but her mind was clouded and nothing specific arose. I looked further, getting frustrated at the lack of information I was receiving. I knew that the others were watching me eagerly, waiting for me to speak. I couldn’t give up now, we were so close! Under my fingertips, the victim’s heartbeat pulsed weakly under her temples. She laid unconscious, half-dead on the cold floor, unaware of the small group of people – if Ты could call us that – surrounding...

My eyes flickered open. Had it all been a dream? Had it not worked? I took a deep breath of air and let it fill my lungs before exhaling again. I felt strange, and hungry. I was desperate for food. I sat up and saw Bonnie curled up in the corner of the tomb. I could hear her crying. I went to comfort her, but something beside me caught my eye. Damon was crouched over Katherine, sobbing. Why was he crying over Katherine? Wait…hadn’t I been lying there before the spell…? And Katherine hadn’t been wearing the same clothes as me…I looked down and saw that I was now wearing Katherine’s...

I lay on the cold stone floor in the old church. Katherine lay with the вверх of her head opposite the вверх of mine, so I couldn’t see her. I could see that Bonnie was trying to stay strong but I could see it in her eyes that she was just as scared as I was.
“Are you…comfortable?” she asked awkwardly. I nodded weakly and she rifled in her pocket. She pulled out the piece of paper that contained the spell and placed it down beside me. She hovered her hands over my сердце and began to chant. I couldn’t understand her words. Soon, I began to feel strange. My head began to ache еще and more...

The Далее morning I had to rub the sleep that had formed from the tears last night. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was only seven. Everyone else would be asleep. My phone buzzed on the cracked side таблица beside my постель, кровати and I reached over and checked the text. It was from an unknown number.

I have the witch at the old church outside the tomb. We’re doing this now.

I knew who it was from. She had Bonnie. I gulped and hurriedly pulled on my clothes. After twenty минуты I was ready. I crept out into the hallway and was about to go down the stairs when I stopped. I may never see Aunt Jenna...

Later that day, after Bonnie’s arm was nearly back to normal, I drove her home. As I drove away I was sure I caught sight of Katherine in the trees. When I looked back at the place I thought I’d seen her, there was no one there. She was following me. I shivered and put my foot down. When I finally got Главная I fell onto my постель, кровати and breathed out heavily. I opened my eyes to see Damon staring blankly at the floor. I gasped in shock. Eventually I calmed down.
“Damon….I’m sorry…” I сказал(-а) softly. He didn’t look at me.
“Why…why would Ты do this Elena…” he сказал(-а) quietly. I saw a...

As we neared the porch, a voice called my name from behind us. We span around and saw Stefan at the end of the pathway.
“Bonnie, why don’t Ты go inside?” I said, and she nodded in agreement. Soon I was standing with Stefan and he looked into my eyes.
“Elena, what Damon said…about not wanting to see Ты risking your life…I agree. I can’t watch Ты do that to yourself either. I Любовь you, even though it’s clear Ты no longer feel the same way towards me as Ты did before. So, while this idea is still in your mind, I won’t be around to help out with anything. And neither will...

I sat there, staring. I didn’t know what I’d just gotten myself into, really.
“Right. We need…a witch. So I guess we’re going to have to leave town and start looking for one, stat,” Katherine mused.
“No. I know a witch,” I сказал(-а) softly. She snapped her head up and stared at me, and so did Alaric.
“You know a witch?” Katherine looked amused. “Well that saves us some time.” She smiled happily and literally skipped over to the door. “Come on then, we don’t have any time to lose!”
“I have to talk to her first,” I called after her, and she re-entered the room.
“So...

I shook my head.
“Damon, I think this is something I need to do, for me AND Katherine. I don’t know how to explain it really, it’s just that being around Katherine’s made me feel as though there has been a part of me missing. I never noticed it before. And part of me knows that I won’t lose myself. I can do this, Damon,” I replied.
“Please, Elena,” he pleaded. “I can’t risk losing you! It’s too dangerous. Ты could be Остаться в живых forever and just become a part of Katherine.” He looked close to tears. I stroked his face.
“Damon. Humanity over-rules any other part of the soul....

Alaric Saltzman looked up from his стол письменный, стол and watched as Damon, Stefan and I walked into the room. Katherine stood outside.
“What do Ты guys want now?” he asked, putting his eyes back to the papers he was marking.
“We need your help with a little “vampire extermination”” Damon said, crossing his arms and sitting on a desk. Alaric looked from Damon to Stefan to me and shook his head.
“No way. I can’t keep getting involved in all your vampire problems. I have papers to grade so if Ты excuse me…” But Katherine stepped through the door.
“No, excuse me. This is bigger than just...

Katherine sat opposite me with a confused look on her face. She glanced up and stared hard at my face.
“Those Вампиры won’t find us straight away, but when they do…” I shuddered along with the other three. “What can we do?” she сказал(-а) as she buried her face in her knees.
“I think I know someone who can help us,” Damon сказал(-а) wonderingly. “Katherine, I think it would be much easier if you…stayed here, rather than come with us,” he added. She stood up angrily.
“Why? I have every right to walk outside!” she сказал(-а) as she clenched her fists.
“Katherine, Ты look exactly like...

“What do Ты mean? What’s happened?” Damon urged. Katherine hung her head solemnly.
“The new Вампиры in town are the same ones that were obsessed with me back in the 1850’s. The exact same ones.” My jaw dropped and I gasped.
“Why are they here? Why now?” сказал(-а) Damon as he tensed up and clenched his fists.
“My guess is that it’s because I’m close to my…humanity, which is, FOR NOW, Elena,” she said, accentuating the words ‘for now’ and staring maliciously at me. I took a step back. Damon placed himself as if he was ready to protect me from anything. His eyes were wide....

“Every time. Every bloody time…” Damon muttered angrily as he yanked on a new pair of tracksuit trousers he had pulled out of a drawer. He glared at Stefan who gave him a guilty look. Damon threw me one of his shirts. I tugged it on and fumblingly did up the buttons. Stefan was pacing impatiently as we hurriedly got dressed.
“So what is it then?” Damon snapped. Stefan stopped pacing.
“There are new Вампиры in town. Three males,” he сказал(-а) worriedly. Damon tensed.
“How do Ты know?” Damon asked, suddenly not as mad at his brother.
“I saw them hunting in the woods. They’re vicious...

I backed away slightly.
“Damon…what? Ты want to turn me…?” I was in shock. He grabbed my arms.
“I NEED to turn you, Elena. There’s a difference. Once you’re a vampire you’ll be safer from Katherine. And also, it means that Ты and I can be together…forever,” he сказал(-а) as he smiled gently.
“Damon, being a vampire won’t keep me safer from Katherine. She can still take my humanity and then I’ll be exactly like her,” I told him anxiously. “But to be with Ты forever is something I want dearly, but I don’t know if I can leave my family and Друзья behind. Give me time.”...

“How….” I сказал(-а) slowly, trying to get my head around what Katherine was telling me. I was her humanity? I was her SOUL? “How…” I сказал(-а) pathetically again. She sat down on the sofa and held her empty glass tightly. She looked up at me.
“When Emily removed my humanity, she locked it away. She told me that the only way I could ever get it back was if it was…born again. Then she would chant a spell and my souls would be united.” She stared sadly at the floor. “But Emily has gone. Her spell has gone. There’s no way I can get my humanity back…” Damon’s mouth stopped hanging...

“What?” Stefan сказал(-а) when words failed to leave both Damon and my mouths. She was still staring at me.
“I can’t believe it. How is this possible?” she сказал(-а) to herself. I was at loss. What was she TALKING about? Stefan slowly walked towards her and knelt beside her.
“Katherine, we need Ты to tell us. What are Ты talking about? How is Elena…you?” he asked gently. She seemed to calm down and she walked over to the bar. She shakily poured herself a large neat водка and downed it. She slammed the glass down and stared at the fire.
“A few years before I came to Mystic Falls in 1864,...

Damon spun round and looked at me with a hint of fear in his eyes.
“Katherine looks like Ты Elena. All she has to do is knock on your door and ask to come in. Although Jenna will think it’s strange, she’ll do it.” I gasped. He was right. I could imagine Jenna’s confused look as she let the apparent “me” into the house. “But,” Damon reassured, “I don’t know if Katherine knows where Ты live. But she’s out there right now, probably lurking outside the house. If Ты go Главная she’ll follow Ты and try to learn everything about you.” He stared into the fire. “She’ll...

Edward sped through the trees swiftly, the wind cool and pleasant on his face. Soon he was in Mt. Rainier National Park. He brought himself to an abrupt halt and crouched when he heard a mountain lion prowling nearby. He heard the sound of the soil beneath its paws as it lumbered through the undergrowth. It was close, and he knew if it got any closer it would sense him too. He began slowly stalking his prey. Closer and closer…he could see it now. It had climbed up a дерево and was sitting alertly on a low branch. It was going to be all too easy. As he prepared himself for the huge pounce, something...

Never Been Surfing Before

Thunderous waves all around me, crashing hard onto the shore,
I lay on my blue and white surfboard. I’d never been surfing before.
A few moments ago, on the sandy beach, that seemed many miles away,
Instructors demonstrated the surfing technique, which seemed, at the time, quite ok.


As I made my way to the water, blue and white surfboard in hand,
I looked at the raging blue ocean, and down at the golden-brown sand.
I began to wade in, and very soon, I was waist deep in frothing sea,
And when I looked up, my eyes widened with shock, a huge wave was heading for me!


And then,...

I heard a cough from the doorway and both I and Damon spun around. Stefan stood awkwardly in front of us, with a sympathetic smile on his face.
“Hey man. Look, I’m so sorry about that thing earlier…You know, the fight…” he said, looking at the floor. Damon walked toward him.
“It’s ok. But we’ve got bigger problems than ourselves at the moment. Katherine is back. She needs to be…disposed of…” Damon сказал(-а) the last to words with malice and it sent a shiver down my spine.
“But how? She’s older than us, therefore stronger. We can’t take her on alone, Damon.” Stefan reasoned....
