Sleep should have came easily. By now, Elizabeth should have been in a deep sleep and away in some kind of dream. But no matter how many times she tried, sleep just wouldn't come. It didn't matter how many times she had actually been comfortable, there just was something about tonight that sleep would just not take over her. Maybe it was the fact that she had Aurora locked away downstairs. But it should have brought some comfort knowing that the psychotic bitch was in fact locked away and there was no way of her laying a hand on either Jess or Veronica. It took a good three hours of staring up at the ceiling for sleep to finally took over. But when it did, she wished she had never fell asleep.

It had been a while since Elizabeth had any kind of nightmares. But tonight, it seemed like she was well over due for one. Elizabeth found herself running through a dark room. Her steps echoed as she ran turning down halls that she had thought would lead her out of this place. No matter how fast she ran, it felt as if she was running at a human's pace. The halls were endless and no matter which way she would turn there would be another long hall in front of her. After running for some time, she needed to stop and try to catch her breath. But every time she did, she could hear a dark voice that caused chills to run through her calling her name. It caused her to start running again every time she heard it.

After turning down a few more hallways, a door was in front of her and it caused her to pick up her pace just to get to it faster. At first it felt like it had kept getting further and further away from her. But when she did finally reach it, there was a relief in her that she could escape this place. But when she tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. "Please open." She whispered as she messed with handle and pressed on the door.

"Elizabeth." The voice said and it caused her to panic. It was closer now and if he caught up to her even in the slightest bit, she was done for. There would be no telling what her punishment would be. She turned around to see if he had been close, but she didn't seen him. It gave her some hope that she would be able to get out of there. Just as she had been able to get the door open, she felt a hand on her shoulder and it caused her to scream and run through the door.

On the other side of that door, Elizabeth found herself in the Compound's courtyard. Blood had covered many of the walls, furniture and a majority of the floor. Even the fountain had blood flowing through it instead of the water it normally held. It looked as if a vampire or maybe even a serial killer had their fun and turned the courtyard into a horror movie. As she looked around, there was no sign of anyone else. There was not a single sound coming from anywhere else in the compound and that had scared her more than just running from someone.

She ran through the compound looking for anyone. But no matter which room she ran into all she found was blood that covered almost everything. With there being no one in the compound, Elizabeth had decided to check the city. But the first step out of the compound caused Elizabeth to gasp at the sight she had seen. Bodies covered the streets everywhere she had looked. Humans, vampires, witches and werewolves covered the Quarter. With each step she took out into the Quarter she realized that each of their necks had been bitten.

It was then Elizabeth had realized who had been responsible for it all as she looked at the windows of a shop. She had been covered in blood from those she had killed. She dared herself to actually look at the bodies that were laying in the street. She hoped by some miracle that she didn't kill Veronica and maybe she was just hiding out somewhere. But as she walked back towards the compound, she found Veronica's body laying there just outside the entrance.

Kneeling down beside her body, Elizabeth shook her head. She couldn't believe that at some point she had killed Veronica. There was disbelief and a part of her mind tried reasoning with her that this was all just a nightmare. Eventually she would wake up and find that none of this had happened. There would be no evidence as to her slaughtering the whole city.

As she continued to look over Veronica's body, a hand rested on her shoulder. For a moment she didn't want to look back. She didn't want to see who was standing there. It could easily be the dark figure that she had been running from in the beginning of this dream. But the familiarity of the hand had made her turn her head.

"Elijah?" She stood up and faced him. "I really must be dreaming then."

Her words had caused Elijah to laugh. "What if I told you that you somehow managed to pull me into your head?"

Elizabeth's eyebrow raised. "How would I have managed that?" she asked.

"That, I do not know. But by the looks of things," He said as he looked around them and looked back at her. "You've been stressed about someone."

"Someone?" She laughed slightly. "You could say that."

"How is Aurora?" He asked as he pulled out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Elizabeth.

"How did-" She started to say before she put two and two together. "You are in my head, that is how you know." Taking the handkerchief, she wiped off the blood that had been on her face. "She's locked away for now. " She nodded for a moment. "When I do decided to wake up from this, I'll be having a short chat with her."

"A chat," Elijah asked. "or do you mean a quick bite and wait for her to suffer?"

"You caught me." Elizabeth said with a smile as she raised her hands in surrender. "I kill her, there is no more psychopaths."

"There are always others." He noted.

"Not ones so hell bent on killing you." She added.

He shook his head and chuckled. "I'm glad to see that you haven't changed during this time."

"I only ever change if I decide to mess with that switch of mine." She said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes, lets not have a repeat." He said as he gestured around them.

Elizabeth laughed and with a quick thought, she had the scene from her nightmare changed. "Better?" She asked as she looked around.

Elijah looked around them. Instead of being in the Quarter surrounded by blood shed, they were in a field surrounded by Lilies. "Much better."

"Oh how I miss this place." Elizabeth said as she started to walked through the field. When she looked at Elijah, he had an eyebrow raised and it caused her to chuckle. "This place in general. Not the time, nor the people. With the exception of you of course."

Elijah laughed as he began to follow her through the field. "This field holds many memories for you doesn't it?"

Elizabeth nodded. "I used to walk these fields all the time. It was my go to place after my husband would lash out at me. I felt free here. And then there is that day we walked here when I was pregnant."

Elizabeth

Her name being called had caused both Elijah and Elizabeth to look around. It had caused Elizabeth to smile a bit.

"It seems as if someone is trying to wake you." Elijah said taking a step closer to her.

"That would be Veronica." Elizabeth nodded as her smile grew.

"Who is she?" Elijah asked curiously.

"She is family. Davina's cousin as well as my many great grand daughter."

"It's good to know you still have family out there." His words had caused Elizabeth to shake her head slightly.

"You do know I've forgiven you for that, right?"

Elijah nodded, but after all this time he had still felt guilty over what he had done to Davina. "Does Veronica know what happened to her."

"To some extent she does." Elizabeth said nodding. "She knows that a witch had done it, but she doesn't know what witch it was. Eventually I'll tell her the whole truth, but for now I'll keep the details to myself."

Liz

Veronica's voice echoed again. It caused both Elijah and Elizabeth to shake their heads slightly. Elizabeth took a few steps closer and kissed Elijah's cheek. "I'll visit soon. I'm sure hope is having a fit about not seeing you guys."

"When should I expect you?" Elijah asked with a smile.

"Give me a week to take care of the mess I have here and then I'll be there." She said smiling at him. "Unless I somehow can manage to pull you back into my head when I got to bed later."

Liz I swear I will start calling you Grandma if you don't wake up.

Elijah laughed as he heard Veronica and watched a glare formed on Elizabeth's face. He tilted his head to the side telling her to go. Elizabeth smiled at him for a moment before she began to wake up.

"You start calling me Grandma, you don't get to leave the compound." Was the first thing Elizabeth said once she was up and turned to Veronica.

"Well it took you long enough to wake up." Veronica said crossing her arms.

"Maybe I got a chance to spend some time with Elijah and didn't want to be up." Elizabeth sat up in bed as she watched a look cross Veronica's face.

"Ew gross. I don't need to know about your dreams." Veronica shook her head and Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"It was nothing like that. Now what is going on?" She asked Veronica.

"Aurora is ranting and raving. Everyone inside the compound can hear her. Which I'm surprised you didn't. But then again you were..." Veronica stopped herself. "Anyways, she's been mostly calling you names in the process and wont calm down until she speaks to you."

Elizabeth sighed and started to get out of bed. "I have been wanting to have a quick chat with her. Now would be a good time as any."

"Can I come?" Veronica asked.

"No." Elizabeth said just as the question left Veronica's lips. "You still have my blood in your system. I'm not taking any risks."

"But I won't stand to close to her." Veronica wanted to have a few words of her own with the woman.

Elizabeth gave a slight glare at Veronica. "Standing close isn't my problem. It is her in general. If she even got her hands on something throwable, that would be the end of it. I cant risk that."

Veronica sighed and looked down at the ground. "Okay."

"Promise me you'll stay away from her. And I mean altogether. Not after the twenty four or even before." Elizabeth wasn't about to have another scare or even want to see what would become of Veronica if she changed.

"I promise." Veronica said as she watched as Elizabeth went to her closet and grabbed a few things before she went behind the changing wall.

"You have roughly around eleven hours before my blood should be out of your system." Elizabeth said as she came out. "So no going out of the compound or staying anywhere with wide open windows."

"So hide in a closet. Got it." Veronica said shaking her head slightly.

"You know what I meant." Elizabeth said as she began to walk out of the room. "Just be aware of your surroundings. We don't know who she has out there under her compulsion still." She turned her head to see Veronica nod before she walked away to speak with Aurora.

"Well its about bloody time." Aurora said as she watched Elizabeth walk into the room. "I thought all my shouting would have gotten your attention hours ago."

"I'm a heavy sleeper." Elizabeth said with a shrug. "It takes a lot to wake me."

"Maybe next time have a baby monitor or something so you can hear your guest." Aurora said almost pouting.

Elizabeth laughed and shook her head. "Guest. Or you are far from a guest here." Elizabeth looked at her chained hands. "By the looks of it, you seem to be a prisoner."

"I wont be for long." Aurora said as if she had some plan to escape.

"I wouldn't count on that." Elizabeth said with a shrug. "See I'd give you maybe twelve hours before you die. Maybe thirteen at the most."

"Why is that?" Aurora asked.

"Well, lets see." Elizabeth said with a grin as she took a few steps closer to Aurora. As much as Aurora had tried to act as if she wasn't frightened by the woman, she really was and Elizabeth could see that. "I've had your blood drained. You must be severely parched for spending the night without any kind of blood. Oh yes there was also being injected with shit ton of vervain. Then there is this." Elizabeth grabbed a hold of Aurora's arm. Even though the woman struggled against her, Elizabeth didn't feel it. With a quick bite into Aurora's flesh, and the yell of pain that came from Aurora, Elizabeth was satisfied that Aurora would die. "I'd mark it as your time starting now." She dropped Aurora's arm and watched as she clutched on to it.

"What are you going to do, just sit here and watch as I die?" Aurora asked as she watched Elizabeth take a step back.

"Nope." She said with a smirk. "That would be giving you what you want. And I am going to do just the opposite. You will suffer and die alone with nothing but the hallucinations and your psychotic mind to keep you company." The look on Aurora's face had said it all. She didn't want to die alone, but she would be. And that seemed to be Aurora's greatest fear.

Elizabeth walked out of the room and found Josh not to far away. "Josh."

He walked over to her. "What's up Liz?" He asked.

"I need you to do me a favor." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Usually when you ask for a favor, I end up with my neck snapped." Josh said hesitant to see what Elizabeth wanted him to do.

"Don't worry, this one is easy." She said patting his shoulder. "Just simply make sure Veronica doesn't enter that room for the rest of the day."

"That does seem easy enough." He said with a slight shrug. "I'm guessing you are leaving and that is why you are asking me to make sure she doesn't."

"You are right." Elizabeth said with a nod. "I need to go and speak with Jess about a few things and make a trip out to Hayley's."

"What about Aurora?" Josh asked. "I mean are we doing anything with her?"

"Nothing at all." Elizabeth said with a shrug. "She's going to suffer alone and that is exactly how I would like for it to be."

"Got it. No visitations." Josh said with a nod.

"Thanks, Josh." Elizabeth said as she headed down the stairs.

It had been several hours since Elizabeth had left the compound. Veronica had been completely bored out of her mind. No matter what she did to keep herself entertained, she still found herself bored. There had been an hour or two where her and Josh had been talking about anything and everything they could talk about. But even then things had died down and Josh ended up falling asleep on the couch in her room.

"Well there goes that." She said to herself as she laid back on her bed. She still had a few hours before she was considered clear to leave the compound but the compound itself was just so boring that there was only so much that she could do.

After laying there for a few moments, and idea popped into her head. As much as she was told not to do something today, the idea only gave her more interest since it was the only thing she hadn't done in the compound. Looking over at Josh who was still sound asleep, she slowly made her way out of the room and down the hall. A few minutes wasn't going to hurt right? She was supposed to be chained as well as bitten and had been drained of blood. How bad could things get.

"What do you think you are doing?" Josh asked as he found Veronica about to open the door to Aurora. Veronica jumped slightly as she turned and found Josh standing there.

"Going to talk to her." Veronica said letting her hand fall off the doorknob.

"I know Liz doesn't want you going in there." Josh said. "If I remember correctly, no one was supposed to go in there. She wants Aurora to die alone."

"She doesn't have to know." Josh shook his head the moment the words came out of her mouth.

"I don't like this, Veronica." He said making it known that it was in fact a bad idea.

"Come on Josh, just a few minutes with her." Veronica said pouting slightly hoping that he would give in.

"Oh, alright."Josh said shaking his head. "Anything over ten minutes and I pull you out of there. I don't need a reason for Elizabeth to be at my neck."

"I promise she wont be." Veronica said before opening the door and entering the room. She found Aurora at the far wall sitting down on the floor.

"Manipulative. I like it." Aurora said weakly.

Veronica rolled her eyes. "I only did it so I could talk to you."

Aurora stood up and took a few steps towards Veronica. The chains that held Aurora captive stopped her a few inches out of reach from Veronica. "What is that you want?"

Veronica smirked seeing she couldn't touch her from where she stood. "Answers."

Aurora laughed. "What makes you think I will give them to you?"

"You are already dying from Elizabeth's bite." Veronica said crossing her arms. "I'm sure there are somethings you wish to explain or even talk about to get off your chest."

Aurora chuckled. "It's long over due for my death by her anyways. It was only a matter of time."

Veronica's eyebrow raised. "What do you mean?"

"Oh come on, Elizabeth is what, over 800 years old, don't you think we would have ran into each other before my brother kept me locked away?" Aurora took a step back to give the chains some slack. "She was a lot darker then."

"I wonder why." Veronica said rolling her eyes. "Aya did have a spell placed on her, Lucien was the reason for it all and I do believe it was your brother's party where everything took place."

"Did she tell you that I was the one that helped her out of there?" Aurora asked.

"No." Veronica said shaking her head. "She didn't."

"At the party, before everything had happened, we had gotten along just great." Aurora said as she walked over to the back wall and sat down on the floor. "She had this dark side of her that was just so inviting to be around. You should have seen her twisted ideas that went through her head back then. She was almost as psychotic as I am. Of course that tamed after Aya had done her spell. But when I had found Elizabeth she had been in horrible shape, poor dear. But I helped her out and before I knew it, we were at each other's throats. She believed that I had something to do with what happened."

"But you didn't." Veronica noted.

Aurora nodded. "While I am sure she still believes I did have a part in it, she still has her reasons for being angry at me. "

"What did you do?" Veronica asked. Of course she knew that one of those things had been trying to kill her.

"One of the many times that I escaped my brother's hold, I ended up murdering some family of yours." She said it as if it had been no big deal that she slaughtered a few humans during her week of being pissed at her brother.

"And you think you can just go and kill more?" Veronica asked almost giving a glare.

"Oh its all a part of the game, Veronica." Aurora said with a smirk.

"What game?" Veronica asked actually curious as to what game Aurora thought she and Liz were playing.

"The game I've been playing since she turned me over to my brother." Aurora said looking down at her hands. "Every time I managed to get free, I'd find out where a majority of her descendants were and I'd have my fun. This time, It was rather easy finding everyone I needed within the same city. While I was rather useless in Davina's demise, you on the other hand have been quite easy to get to. Well except for the fact Elizabeth keeps getting to you in time. But since she isn't here, maybe at some point before I die I'll be able to sink my teeth and nails into you."

"That would just give Elizabeth a reason to rip into you even more." Veronica said crossing her arms. "And plus, you are chained to a wall and you grow weaker by the second. You wouldn't even be able to touch me."

"Oh please darling." Aurora said shaking her head slightly. "Elizabeth has been there to save you each and every time I've tried to either get my own hands on you or have someone else do it. What is going to happen later down the road when it is someone else that wants to sink their teeth into you and no one else is around, what are you going to do without Elizabeth around."

Veronica rolled her eyes. "I'm getting stronger with my magic." She shook her head. "With you dead, it will give me plenty of time to learn what I need to. Right now, Elizabeth is the protection I need."

"And where is dear old grandma right now?" There was something in the question itself that made the hairs on the back of Veronica's neck stand.

"Why do you care?" Veronica asked as she took a step back towards the door.

"All a part of the plan." There was a smirk on Aurora's face and it was then that Veronica realized that maybe this had in fact been a bad idea. She placed her hand on the doorknob as Aurora tried reaching out for her. Veronica had thought she had been safe the moment the door opened and she took a step outside the door. But the sound of the chains being ripped from the wall told her she was anything but safe.

Veronica woke up on the bed in her room, startled. It caused her to sit up right and move her hand up to her neck. There was no sign of any type of damage. Her skin had been flawless and she had been grateful to whoever had reached her in time to heal her. As she looked around, she hadn't seen anyone. The last thing she had remembered was Aurora breaking the chain that restrained her and the moments after that left her lying on the floor.

Aurora had managed to grab a hold of her and that was when Veronica knew it was over. While Aurora's fangs had sank into her neck, her eyes had been frantically looking around for any signs of any one close by. But there was no one. She felt herself growing weaker by the second and the last thing she saw before everything going black was footsteps running towards her.

Getting up from the bed, Veronica left the room and began looking for Elizabeth, or anyone else that may still be there. As she walked through the compound it had been quiet. As she made her way downstairs, Veronica gulped as she found one of Aurora's chains hanging off the railing with blood covering it. It made her wonder if everyone that was here was killed by her or the other way around. Walking past it, she realized there were trails of blood here and there on the floor of the courtyard. A few pieces of furniture were torn apart and glass had been shattered creating a crunching sound every few steps she took.

A few steps later, Veronica found a heart laying in the middle of a tile on the floor. Someone was dead and it made Veronica wonder who it actually belonged to. Her eyes scanned the courtyard for anything else she may have missed. May it have been a body or even other pieces. It was then she had looked under the stairs for the first time since she had been down in the courtyard. Another gasp left her lips as she turned her head. Lying under the stairs was Aurora's dismembered head. Her green eyes had been staring right at Veronica.

Whatever happened when Elizabeth found out that Aurora had gotten free, it showed that she must have been pissed off. There was no one else that could do this without there being so much more blood than what was laying around. The body parts and the blood had proven that Aurora didn't get a chance to fight back. Veronica wasn't sure if that was exactly a good thing now that she was standing in the middle of the compound looking for Elizabeth. Turning to get away from the head, Veronica took a step towards the kitchen when she found Elizabeth standing a few feet away from her.

Taking in Elizabeth, Veronica had never felt afraid of her until now. She wasn't sure if it was because she was pissed or the fact that she may have just finished ripping Aurora to shreds, but Elizabeth's eyes still held the bright red that she still wasn't used to seeing. The veins that appeared on her face were slightly hidden by the blood that covered parts of her face. Her clothes were covered in blood and by the looks of it, none of it had been Elizabeth's. Veronica cowered under the glare that Elizabeth had been giving her.

Elizabeth didn't know how she should feel towards Veronica. She was pissed, she was worried and maybe for just a moment she had felt to some relief in seeing that Veronica was awake and walking. But what came next Elizabeth knew it was going to be difficult. While she didn't say a thing to Veronica, she walked over to the dismembered head before picking it up and tossing it in a black bag. She moved on to pick up the heart off the floor before walking over to the fountain to pick a few more pieces of Aurora out of it and placing it in the bag.

"What happened?"Veronica asked as she watched Elizabeth.

"What does it look like?" Elizabeth's tone held anger and it made Veronica look down at the floor. Elizabeth shook her head before walking towards the back of the compound. "Follow me." She said without looking at Veronica. "We have a few things to discuss."

Veronica hesitated a moment before she began walking. She followed Elizabeth out to the back patio where Elizabeth had a fire going. The bag that Elizabeth had filled with the body parts had already been tossed into the flames as Veronica walked closer to it.

"You want to know how I knew that Aurora had gotten out?" Elizabeth asked as she looked at the flames in front of her. Veronica looked over at Elizabeth and she could see that there was still some red in her eyes, the veins no longer there. When she didn't say anything, Elizabeth answered anyways. "Jess." She said shaking her head. Veronica should have guessed that it would have been Jess to be the one to know this would happen. "I got to her house and the first thing she said was 'Run, she's unprotected.' I didn't understand it at first until I seen the look in her eyes. "

Elizabeth shook her head. By now her anger had subsided. But no matter how much that anger had subsided, she was still worried about what would happen next. "By the time I reached the compound, she was about to walk out the front door." Elizabeth said as she looked over at Veronica. Veronica looked back and relaxed when her eyes were back to her normal brown eyes. "That was when I lost it." Elizabeth admitted. "I lost all sense of control and I tore into her. I could have let her walk out the door and just let her die. She only had a few hours left, but my need to kill her had been stronger. The need to shed her blood was something I couldnt resist."

Veronica sighed. "I'm sorry, Liz." She said trying to apologize. Veronica knew how much Elizabeth hated giving into her darker, emotionless side. She knew that while killing Aurora had been satisfying to Elizabeth, falling off the wagon is the last thing she wants to happen. Especially with her being different now.

"You were supposed to stay away from her." Elizabeth almost yelled as she ran her hand through her hair. "I had only asked one thing, Veronica. For you to just stay away from that room. I wanted her to suffer and be alone until she took her last breath."

"I had to at least talk to her." Veronica said shaking her head slightly. "She tried killing me twice. I wanted answers."

Elizabeth shook her head. "Have you even actually realized what happened? Where talking to her has gotten you?"

Veronica looked slightly confused. "I'm fine Liz, you must have been able to feed me your blood again."

"I didn't." Elizabeth said.

"But I woke up, I'm healed." Veronica shook her head, her hand automatically going up to her neck.

Elizabeth looked down for a moment. Among her anger earlier she had wondered how Veronica had been so calm. She had figured by now, Veronica would have felt some kind of blood lust or even some sensitivity to them being out in the sun. But there had no signs whatsoever of her being in transition.

"When I finally reached you," Elizabeth looked back up at Veronica. "You were gone. I had tried feeding you my blood, but it had been to late."

There was fear in Veronica's eyes. "What does that mean?" She asked shaking her head.

Elizabeth sighed. "You know what it means, Veronica. " She shook her head not wanting to say it, but with the shock that seemed to be slipping into Veronica, she knew she would have to. "It means you are in transition." She said softly. "And we still don't know what my blood will do."

Veronica know knew what this all meant. It meant that she had a choice to make. It meant that there was that possibility that she may be like Elizabeth or maybe just a regular vampire. It also meant that she would lose the magic that she had been growing used to using. Looking at the dying flames, she sighed. Her mouth opened as if she was going to say something but quickly shut it.

"This is your decision, Veronica." Elizabeth said taking a step closer to her. "You can either feed, or we can enjoy the day doing whatever it is you'd like." The thought alone had made Elizabeth want to cry. She didn't want to lose someone else.

Veronica nodded at Elizabeth's words. "I know." She said before looking at Elizabeth. " But I'd rather not be completely dead."

Elizabeth sighed. "Are you positive?" She asked wanting to make sure Veronica was absolutely positive about her choice. "We still don't know what will happen. You'll have to learn to have control when it comes to blood and all that. And your magic..."

Veronica nodded again. She knew there were several things that she would have to deal with once it all happened. But even though she weighed the options she felt that there was only one choice to go with and she was all for it. "This is what I want."

Elizabeth nodded before walking back inside for a moment. Coming back with a blood bag in hand, she ripped it open for Veronica and handed it to her. "Drink up." She said as Veronica took the bag from her. Veronica looked down at the blood bag for a moment before taking a deep breath before taking a drink of the blood. Elizabeth watched as Veronica groaned for a second in pain from the new fangs coming in. And when Veronica looked up at her, Elizabeth was met with bright red eyes that came with being what they both were now.
