Chapter 3
I've never had a dream like this befor. It was dark, everything was black. I turned and walked for hours and when i called no one responded to me, only my echo. After hours of walking around i found a mirror and what I saw was horrible. It was me.. but i wasnt awake. My eyes were purple like someone gave me 2 black eyes. I was so pale. My blonde shiny hair was a dull looking yellow. My brown eyes were sad, dull brown, like a tree after it rains and it has no leaves to protect itself. I gently and slowly touched the mirror. Then it shattered.
I woke up startled and confused. You know the 5 seconds when you wake up from a dream and you dont know how you got to where you are? I was having one of those moments. I was in my living room, on the couch but I was laying on Tyler. I carefully looked up at his face, trying hard not to wake him. He was sleeping, of course the sky outside was a deep dark gray. He had his arm around me and his head was laying on the arm rest. He looked so peaceful it hurt. He looked like a God sent down from heaven. I gently lay my head back down on his chest, looking at the TV clock. It was 3 o'clock in the morning. I slowly closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
I woke up to a groaning noise, like the sound of someone who doesnt want to get out of bed. I knew Tyler was up, then i felt his eyes on me and he chuckled. I sighed and opened my eyes squinting in the sudden brightness of a new day. After my eyes adjusted i turned my head up to look at him. He was smiling down at me. I could tell he just woke up because his eyes were a deep,deep blue.
"Good Morning." He said chuckling.
"Morning." I said yawning and smiled. "How'd you sleep?"
"Pretty well actually yourself?" He chuckled.
"Pretty good. What time is it?" I asked as I looked at the TV. "Wow its already noon." I said shocked, and sat up on his lap and streched.
"Yeah. I guess I should go home." He said sitting up,keeping me on his lap.
I sighed. "Yeah I guess." I said standing up.
"I'll be back later. Then we can decide wat do to." He said as he stood up smiling.
"Ok see ya in a bit." I told him, giving him a hug.
"All right. Later." He said hugging me and turning to the door to leave.
I yawned and streched again as I heard the door shut, after he left I went to take a shower and clear my thoughts. Why did I have that odd dream? Why did I black out yesterday? 'Ok one at a time'I told myself. 'Why did i have that odd dream?' I tried to think of an answer but came up blank. 'Ok next question. WHy did i black out yesterday?' After thinking and thinking i still didnt have an answer. "Damn it" i said softly to myself.
I decided the shower wouldnt work and got out and got dressed. I grabbed a pair of Jeans and a red camisole and white top. Walking downstairs my headache came back. I clutched the railing so hard my skin turned whiter than it usually is. Taking deep breaths helped but i slowly walked down the stairs. 'What is wrong with me?' I thought, 'THis is not normal.' I finally made it down the stairs when the front door opened.
"Hey." Tyler said coming through the door.
"Hey." I said cringing as the door shut. It felt like a million fireworks went off all at once right in front of you.
"Are you ok?" He asked coming towards me.
"Yea I'm fine." I lied.
He saw right through that. "No your not. Where's your mom and dad?" He asked walking me to the couch.
"Probably left for work already. I never heard them. They must be really mad at each other. They must have not seen us..." I said trailing off. Instant silence. And this silence was awkward, even for Tyler.
"Yeah about last night...Clair.."
"No its ok. Nothing happened right?" I said a little embarassed. If he knew about how I had a big crush on him it would ruin our friendship.
"Clair I have to ask you something."
"Ok, shoot." I said smiling, trying to make it less awkward than it already is.
"Clair. You and I have been friends for a long time." He began.
"Yea since the beginning of this school year."
"Well Clair I-" He said but the phone ringing on the wall cut him off.
"Come on." I said walking carefuly to the kitchen to answer the phone. "Hello?" i said into the reciever.
"CLAIR WERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" the voice boomed.
"Dad?" I asked?
"YES! WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?" he boomed. My father wasnt happy.
"I was sleeping on the couch." I replied. Trying hard to keep my voice steady.
"THATS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER! WHEN I GET HOME YOU BETTER BE HOME!" he boomed then the line went dead.

“Can I come in? This talks so…weird, you know. And if Veronica sees us…” Stefan said warning.
“I’m not afraid of Veronica” Rachel said in such way it sounded like she meant the opposite.
Katherine was dragging Gabe’s corpse to the backside of Rachel’s house. She couldn’t get inside the house, so she opened the window to the basement and pushed Gabe’s body inside. She held his shoulders and let him down carefully. When she thought it was safe she let go. The corpse fell on the basement floor, mute for a human ear, but as Katherine heard the thump, she figured Rachel would’ve too.
“Damn it” she mouthed. She stood and looked around. Rachel was nowhere to be seen and from what Katherine could hear, she was still listening philosophized to Stefan. If Rachel had heard anything, she sure didn’t suspect anything.

“Bonnie?” Damon shouted. “Bonnie, where are you? Get back here!” But when nothing happened he understood he had to do this himself. He looked up at the chains and started pulling with all his strength. It hurt immensely, but he couldn’t stop. If this pain was necessary to be with Elena, he would go through it.
After a few minutes, that felt like hours, his right hand was liberated. Without hesitating he pulled his left arm and this time it took less time to free himself.
Then everything went black.
Damon opened his eyes and found himself outside on the spot where Bonnies house used to be. He looked at his arms. They had healed. He scribbled up and looked around. He felt different, like he’d been born again. Elena. He had to see Elena. And so he started walking in the direction of the Boarding House. He could sense she was there.

The next morning.
A buzzing sound, coming from Caroline’s pedestal cupboard woke her up and she opened her eyes. She took her phone and opened it. She had received a message from an unknown person.
“I know what you are and we will destroy you” she read aloud. She swung her legs off the bed and searched for her ring. When she had found it she put it on and walked to the window. She shoved the curtain and stared outside.
The sky was grey. It seemed like it was going to rain.
Caroline opened the window and climbed over the edge.
“Game on, bitch” she mumbled, before she jumped and landed gracefully on the pavers.
