Doppel Crossed chapter 18 The Wakeup Call (9/10)

posted by HaleyDewit

Caroline felt her phone buzzing against her thy, but she tried really hard to ignore it. Bonnie was trying to figure out the words in the books, but since she was powerless her ability to read ancient languages was gone. Eventually she looked up and cast Caroline an irritated glance, as if blaming her for the current inconvenience.
“Will you just pick up?” she said frustrated.
“It’s probably my mom, wondering where I am” Caroline replied reluctant. “She can wait. This is more important. You have to get your powers back”
“I can’t concentrate, ‘cause your phone has been buzzing for the last five minutes. Just pick up, already!” Bonnie responded angry.
“Okay, I will. Don’t be so bitchy” Caroline replied offended. She conjured her phone and looked at the screen. She had eight missed calls from Damon and returned his last call.
“Took you long enough”
“What’s up?” Caroline asked casual.
“I need to know more about those herbs you gave Elena. There might be something wrong with them” Damon explained.
“Eh, well, I’m just providing. Bonnie’s the expert. She’s here, I can get her on the phone” Caroline suggested.
“No” Damon said quick. “Just talk to her and find out everything you can”
“Damon, what is going on? There’s something with Elena, right?” Caroline asked urgent.
“I have to go” Damon refused to answer.
“Damon, wait-” but he had already hung up. As Caroline turned to Bonnie a dark thought crossed her mind. What if Bonnie knew the herbs would stop working? What if it was Bonnie’s plan to make sure Elena didn’t get a real treatment, so she would die? Caroline couldn’t believe she was thinking this, but after what happened with Damon she believed she could expect anything from the former witch.

“Open the door now, Stefan! I need to talk to my sister!”
Stefan opened the door after Jeremy had banged it about twelve times.
“Alright, alright, don’t get all up tied” Stefan said as he opened the door, a blood bag in his hand. “Now, what brings you here? Something about Elena, I assume?”
“I need to talk to her” Jeremy repeated. “And you know why”
Stefan shrugged. “Why didn’t you come here last night?”
“Because I knew Elena wasn’t here. I knew she was with Alaric and her friends, I didn’t want to make a scene” Jeremy explained.
“And you were also chicken that...

Tyler logged in to read his email. He frowned when he saw the 65 unread messages. He clicked on the first one. “I know what you are”
He clicked on the second one. “I know what you are”
He clicked on the third one. “I know what your are’
All 65 mails held the same message. I know what you are. Tyler clicked on the reply button. “Hey, dude, don’t you have anything better to do in your spare time? Don’t you have a girlfriend or boyfriend to annoy? Get a life, already”
He pressed send. It seemed like only a second had passed when he already received an answer.
“I know what you are and I’m going to tell everybody”
“Suit yourself, moron” Tyler send and he shut the computer down.

Elena opened her eyes and sat up. One thing was certain. This was not her room. Neither was it Damon’s. A picture of her and Stefan told her this was Stefan’s room. She got up and regretted it the moment she stood on her feet. Her head bounced, everything was blurry and she got so dizzy she had to sit down again. And on top of that her stomach was twisting around. Then she remembered the state she was in. This was just one of the symptoms…Wait, Caroline didn’t say anything about feeling nauseous.
“Hey, I cleaned your sheets” Damon said in the doorway. He noticed Elena’s pale face....

Kelsey’s body dropped on the floor and Damon appeared with her heart in his hand.
“You killed her” Stefan said.
“You’re welcome” Damon said.
“You shouldn’t have done that” Stefan said. “I deserved to die”
“You’re welcome” Damon repeated now pissed. Stefan’s ingratitude annoyed him immense. His ripper mood didn’t appeal to Damon, not anymore. But neither did he have to go back to his holier than the pope days.
“You always do this. You face a problem you can’t handle and so you eliminate the problem” Stefan said.
Damon lifted up the body and threw it over his...

Evening fell and the gang at Alaric’s loft had moved inside. Damon had given in to Elena’s beer request and she was now halfway her second. Status Quo was playing and Caroline made her way to Damon. She took his hand and pulled him with her. Bonnie took his place. “Hey, Elena” she said soft.
“Hiii” Elena smiled and she threw her arms around her friend and squeezed her. “How you doing?”
“Fine” Bonnie said. “You?”
“Very good” Elena answered. She looked up and gasped. “Looook, I can see the stars”
“It’s seven, it’s not even dark yet” Bonnie said. “And we’re...

The sun warmed Kelsey’s body and as she opened her eyes she noticed she was covered with a jacket.
“It’s all I have”
Kelsey looked up and saw the bartender sitting next to her.
“I think introduction is in order. Keith” he said sticking out his hand, but Kelsey only stared at him confused. “My imagination is too restricted to fully understand what happened last night, but I have quite some theories” he added.
Kelsey rubbed her forehead.
“Stay here, I’ll get you some clothes” Keith said and he returned to his bar. A few minutes later he came back with some clothes. “I left...

The Lockwood House
Gabe walked the doorstep and knocked. He’d been to the police station, but they had refused to release his daughter. A few minutes later the door went open and a middle age woman appeared. She was wearing an apron. “Can I help you, sir?” “My name’s Gabe Lindy, Mr. Lockwood knows me. I have to speak to him” Gabe said. “I will see if he can make some time” the Maid answered. “Tell him it’s important” Gabe added. The Maid nodded and turned around.
A few minutes later the Maid returned with Mayor Lockwood. As soon as they arrived at the front door the Mayor...

The next morning when Gabe came in the kitchen he saw the TV was on, airing the news. They were talking about a car accident. Someone had hit a car and driven away. “The culprit has turned herself in last night” The newsreader told some more details, but Gabe and Rachel didn’t hear it anymore.
“Idiot!” Gabe cursed.
“Gabe!” Rachel reproached, nodding at Amber who looked up from her plate rotating her head from her mother to her father and back. “Amber, sweetie, why don’t you take your breakfast upstairs? You can watch some TV in your room”
“Nice offer, mom, but I think I’d...

A cold wind teased Kelsey’s naked body and she shivered. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. There was nothing but leaves. Kelsey searched the ground with her hands and they touched something cold and solid. She slowly and fearful rotated her head. When she saw her sister’s body she gasped and covered her mouth. “Oh my God” she started crying as she crawled to Amber. “Amber, wake up. Please, honey, wake up” But Ambers eyes remained closed. “I’m so sorry, Amber. This is all my fault” she sobbed.
“Hey, you didn’t do all of it. I kicked some ass too”

Though there was no clock in the room and Tyler couldn’t check time he could feel the evening fell. Tonight was the night. They were going to set him free to go kill people. Maybe Klaus would try to turn him into a Hybrid as well. But that didn’t make any sense. If Klaus wanted to turn him he would’ve done it by now. A voice woke him from his thoughts. “Tyler? Tyler, what’s going on? Everything’s quiet here. Suspiciously quiet. Where have they gone?” Caroline hissed agitated.
“It’s a full moon tonight” Tyler said.
“So, what, they’re getting prepared?” Caroline said....

An elephant was walking between Kelsey and Amber, while they headed to an unknown destination. “Where exactly are we going?” Amber asked. “We’ve been walking for hours. I’m hungry” she complained.
“There’s plenty of food around” Kelsey said, waving her arm. “You mean like a rabbit?” Amber asked disgusted. “Yes, Am, like a rabbit” Kelsey confirmed. “Come on, we have to get moving”
“Where are we going?” Amber repeated her most urgent question.
“To a safe place” Kelsey answered, with a whiff of fear in her voice. “I need to get you somewhere safe”
“Safe?”...

Derek Janders. The name sounded familiar, but try as he might Damon could not figure out where he had heard it before.
“Let me buy you a drink” Derek said. It more sounded like an order than a friendly gesture. He conjured his wallet and paid two whiskeys, after compelling the bartender not to ask his ID.
“Who turned you?” Damon asked, not touching his drink.
“Does it matter?” Derek answered with a question. “Look, you wanted me to tell you what I wanted, so here it is. I want you to train me, educate me in the world of vampires”
Now Damon drank to wash away that information....

“I think we should go” Damon said, looking at the clock. It was eleven p.m. “Okay, I’ll just go refresh myself and then we can leave” Elena said. She got up and walked to a red door next to the desk. To get there she had to pass the table were tattoo-guy and companions were still sitting. She felt her heart beating faster and she got sweaty palms. But they didn’t look up and she reached the bathroom without a problem. When she closed the door behind her she dared to breathe again. There were two doors opposite of each other. One said men, the other women. She opened the women’s...

Damon lifted Elena in his arms and walked out of the kitchen.
“I didn’t mean to” Katherine hastily said, but Damon ignored her. Just like he ignored the headache and the corrosive pain on his back. He carried Elena upstairs to his bedroom and lay her on the bed.
“Give her some of your blood” Katherine said, standing in the doorway. Damon shook his head. “I can’t do that” he said. “She will hate me”
Katherine rolled her eyes. “Yeah, and how many times has she tried to? Trust me, Damon, she will not hate you” she said as she walked towards the bed. She lay her hand on his...

Stefan’s eyes glided from Elena’s top to her naked legs. “You really had nothing else to wear?” he asked doubtful. Elena frowned her eyebrows and pouted. “What’s wrong with this?” she asked, looking at her clothes.
“Nothing” Stefan waved his hand. “It’s fine. You look great, Elena”
“Are you angry with me?” Elena asked careful.
“No, I’m not angry” Stefan said annoyed.
“Yes, you are” Elena said upset. She crossed her arms and pressed the door bell, refusing to look at Stefan.
Stefan walked next to her. “Elena, come on, don’t… be like this, okay? Look,...

After he had gotten breakfast and his guardian had left he crawled to the wall on the opposite side of the room. He had to be very quiet, because he knew she wasn’t the only one who could hear him. The other vampires had a very good hearing too. He lay his hands on the wall and whispered: “Caroline?” No response. “Caroline” a little harder, but still soft.
Caroline lifted her head and opened her ears. No way! That was not possible. When Amber said there were others Caroline assumed she was talking about vampires, not werewolves.
“Tyler? Is that you?” she asked.
“Yeah, but keep...

Elena felt how someone caressed her cheek. She smiled and took the hand. She opened her eyes and her smile faded away when she looked in Stefan’s brown eyes. She blinked and scribbled back until she hit the edge of her bed.
“Oh” she let out. “It’s you” she said. Stefan laughed. “Well, of course it’s me. Who else did you expect?” he asked rhetorically. He took Elena’s hand and pulled her out of bed. He took her face in his hands. “I’m sorry for being such a jerk yesterday. I was… awful. I almost got you killed” he said soft.
“Oh, well, I’m still alive” Elena...

Kelsey poked her sister to wake her up. Amber opened her eyes and looked around. They were still in the woods and seemed to have spend the night there. Kelsey pulled her sister up and dragged her with her.
“What’s the rush?” Amber asked surprised by Kelsey’s speed.
“We need to get you somewhere safe” Kelsey said agitated, not slowing down.
“Why? Okay, I know I have to be careful for the sheriff and vampire hunters, but I’m not going to get myself caught” Amber said.
“Trust me, the sheriff’s the least of your worries right now” Kelsey said. She ran even faster. “What...

“Can I talk to you?” Bonnie said with a piercing glance at Damon. He looked angry at her and turned to Elena. “I’m sorry” he said soft. “I have to go. Goodnight, Elena” he said and he kissed her cheek. He got off the bed and covered her up. Elena took his hand. “Will you be back tomorrow?” Damon averted his head to Bonnie who’s face had a ‘no way in hell’ expression and thus Damon turned to Elena again. “’Course I will. Can hardly wait” he promised. He walked towards the door and followed Bonnie outside. As soon as the door closed Bonnie slapped Damon in the face....

“I still can’t believe you killed him”
Amber and Kelsey were hiding in the woods.
“And I can’t believe you just drained him” Kelsey fired back. Amber shrugged. “You know what I am, what did you expect?”
“Who turned you?” Kelsey asked.
“Some guy named Stefan, why?” Amber said. Kelsey’s eyes widened. “Stefan Salvatore?” “Yeah” “You got involved with a Salvatore? Are you out of your mind?”
“I didn’t get involved with him! He got involved with me. He attacked me. And why are you so upset about him being a Salvatore?” Amber asked uncomprehending.
