Watching Damon walk up into the cabin, Elena felt hands close around her, one settling over her mouth. And with a sharp snap to the neck, darkness closed around her. Sitting straight up, she gasped, heart racing. It took her a few minutes to notice her surroundings. A hospital bed, heart monitor beeping frantically. And one arm was cuffed to the bedstead.

What was going on? Where was she? "Damon?" She called out, yanking at her restraint. "...Stefan?"

	"Hey, hey, it's okay," Dean said, standing up and placing his hand on her forehead, trying to calm her down again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She flinched at that, staring up at him, wide-eyed. "It's not possible," Elena shook her head. "You're dead. I saw you die." Jeremy had killed him. He couldn't be standing there. Couldn't be touching her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elena shook her head, lower lip jutting out. She only knew him as Kol. And that's when she realized...her heart was pounding. She had a heartbeat. Her free hand moved up, resting on her chest. "I shouldn't be alive. I died." Looking up at him, she looked absolutely terrified. "What happened?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elena shook her head. "I died," she repeated. "My car went off the bridge." The same bridge where her parents had died. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. She remembered going off the bridge. "No, you survived, remember?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a dream. It had to be a dream. But she'd play along for now. "How long have I been here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't remember any of it," she shook her head, hand rising to wipe at her tears. Completely different memories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
