The Gilbert Twin (TVD) Book 3

Ghost World

"You don't have to be here, Bella and Stefan" Ric tells us, and I glare at him.

"You know what, Alaric, you're right. We don't. But Elena's here, and we've been compelled to look out for Elena" I explain to him in a bored tone.

"Besides, there's going to be people everywhere tonight. So there's going to be lots to eat" Stefan adds, and I immediately perk up as I can't remeber the last time I ate, wait... actually I think it was about half and hour ago.

I snap my self out of my thoughts when I look at Elena's shocked expression towards Stefan.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Loosen up"  Stefan tells her, and Ric stands up and leaves to enter the grill.

"Catch you later" I say Stefan as I pat his back and follow Ric inside. I look for him, and he's over by the bar with Damon, so I go over to them.

"Oh, come on. Have a drink with me. We've got trouble" Damon tells Ric, and I sit next Damon.

"I'll have a drink with you" I tell him, but Damon just glares at me before turning to Ric.

"No, you've got trouble. See, we're not a team. You tried to kill me. All right? We're not friends. I don't like you anymore" Ric tells him stubbornly, and I take Damon's order of whiskey and start to drink it.

"Ah! But remember back when you liked me and we conspired to kill Uncle werewolf Mason Lockwood?" Damon asks, as he takes the glass of whiskey from my hand and places it back down on the bar table.

"Yeah, and?" Ric sighs as he tries to hurry the conversation up.

"I think he's still a little pissed" Damon tells him, and I immediately perk up.

"How is that possible? He's dea-" I cut myself off when I see not so dead Mason arrive at the bar and drinks the rest of Damon's bourbon.

"Mason?" Ric says, and I slowly get up from my stool in shock.

"God, I miss whiskey" Mason says, and I back up from where he stands as I'm in shock, but I bump into a hard and familliar chest. Damon and Ric then turn to face me and look at whoever is behind me in shock, I slowly turn around and I see...

"Lincoln?" I ask, and someone suddenly snaps my neck and I'm consumed by darkness.

(Skip to the underground City Jail)

I start to wake up when someone kicks my leg, and I open my eyes to see Elena... Lexi and Lincoln.

"Wake up, sleepyheads" Lexi tells us, and I look over to my right and I see Stefan chained up to a chair and I realise I am too.

"How you feelin'?" Lexi asks us, but all I can do is focus on looking at my not so dead ex boyfriend.

"What is this? Let me out of here!" Stefan shouts at them.

"Shh. Inside voices, please. I'm trying to get inside your head" Lexi tells us, but I ignore her.

"Elena. Get rid of her, please" Stefan tells her, and I finally speak up.

"Your dead" I say to Lincoln, and he looks at me sadly.

"Yeah, I know" Lincoln tells me, and walks towards me "I don't know how long I'm going to be here, but I'm going to help you" He tells me, and he starts to caress my cheek, but I shake it off and look at Stefan as he glares at me and shakes his head no.

"You can't help me... Klaus has control now" I tell him as I look down at the ground. He won't make me turn my humanity back on, he's dead... He's not really here.

"First step, drying them out. Starve away the blood lust. Strip away the temptation" Lexi explains "But since Bella is much younger, it will have an even bigger effect on her than Stefan" She explains. I'm not turning it back on, no matter what... I don't want to feel anything anymore.

"This isn't going to work, Lexi. You can't do this" Stefan tells her, but Lexi ignores him as she starts to walk towards me.

"You heard the not pretty part?" Lexi asks her, and she lifts my chin, making me look at her and she looks at me in the eyes as I feel something weird in my head.

"I heard you" Elena tells her, and Lexi walks over to Stefan and does the same thing to him.

"What are you doing?" Stefan asks her, and I feel pain shoot through my body as I growl in pain and I hear Stefan also growling in pain. I look down at my hands and arms, and I'm desicating.

"What are you doing, Lexi?!" I ask her through gritted teeth.

"Doing what I do best, sweetness. I'm saving your lives" She tells us, and I feel my whole body beginning to stiffen and I can't move.

"Lincoln!" I shout quietly as everything starts to go dark and I feel like I'm dying.

I start to feel my body undesicating, and I weakly open my eyes to see Lincoln looking at me worried.

"There still in there, Elena. You just have to break through" I hear Lexi tell Elena, and Lincoln comes and crouches down to my level.

"I have to go, but your going to get through this" He tells me as he holds my hand, and I feel too weak to push it away "I love you" Is the last words I hear before I feel his soft lips place a kiss on my forehead. I look back up at where he stood, but he's gone along with Lexi.
