Sorry for not giving a hint of the next time jump... I couldn't without giving it away. I am enjoying your reviews ... thank you! I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully some questions will be revealed.

Elena's POV:

I know where I am! I am sitting behind my steering wheel in front of the same bridge I was when this whole thing started. I look down my body to see I still have both legs and no marks on my body. I have quite the headache but I guess that's normal after having the nightmare I just did. It all felt so real.. I could feel the pain of each lash, the heat of the sea's sun, the fear of the shark and the prick of every needle. It was a very intense dream! I'm sitting here thinking and remembering everything when my passenger side door opens... and in sits Parker.

Oh no... maybe it was a premonition! I lived it in my nightmare and now its coming true! Ugh! I don't think I could relive all of the near death I dreamt about.

"Elena..I assume you remember me." Parker states in a monotone manner. Of course I remember him..he's the one who sent me on this nightmare. I am just staring at him, not knowing what to say or even think. I guess my silience was too much because he continued on. "Quite a dream you had huh? Well, that was my intention." What is he saying? He caused my dreams? He orchestrated each terror I experienced?

"This here is a very handy little vile... still in the works but you were the perfect test subject." He continues, not looking at me. "I was able to control your dreams as I saw fit, and you were able to feel everything physically as you dreamt it." What is this? A Freddy Kruger tactic? He was able to go in my dreams and manipulate my tortures.. I did feel it all in my body, it felt so real! I had to ask, "Why me?"

Turning to look at me he answered, "Because this is the moment in your life that you decided to do something so terrible that it tore a very strong family apart. You wanted revenge and only meant to take out one block of the equation ..but in turn you took out many more than anticipated. Before I came here you were contiplating a new game plan or suicide. Let's just say you did not commit the suicide seeing how in my time today is the day that you will be traveling to the electric chair to answer for what you did. You came up with a plan, but you were also caught. It took this long for your death sentence to be carried out. You only plan on taking out Ana, well...you also took the lives of her two oldest children leaving Christian at home with the newborn. He was never the same since."

"So he lost his wife and two of his brats, surely he went back to his old ways and forgave me. I mean it is what he needs, I did him a favor." I say trying to find out what happened to my dear Christian, I knew family life never suited him so I must have done him a favor. Parker stares venomously at me...pure anger in them blue eyes.

"Actually he's been spending the last 19 years trying to make a life for his son, the last reminder of his one true love. He's tried to make your life behind bars as miserable as he could, they even put you in solitary confinement because the beatings were near death and no one was going to let up until you were dead. I don't blame them, because you took away someone who was not meant to go yet."

So I do suffer some torture, but at least that little mousey bitch is gone. So what's the problem? Well the problem is that I was caught, knowing this I'll have to be more careful in that aspect...but I thought of a plan! I had successfully thought of a plan! I wonder what it was. I was deep in thought when Parker spoke again

"So here is where we stand. I cannot let you go thru with your plan. I am here to ensure that you decide to end it all right now." End it? Why would I? This only gives me the thought that I succeeded in bringing down Anastasia, and I'm sure Christian would welcome me back into his life. Parker continues speaking, "I know what you are thinking, but that won't happen. What will happen is you will take this car, put the pedal to the metal, and drive off that bridge right there. You will die today, either in this time or my time, but I would rather in this time so your decisions do not affect anyone but yourself."

"And if I refuse?" I can't believe what he is telling me! I would rather take my chances rather than take my life, now that I know I can do it.

"There will be no refusal, Elena, and I have a few people with me to ensure that this car goes over that bridge with you in it." As he says this he's pointing to a group standing at the other end of the bridge. I recognized them even if they were dressed in suits...Ivan, Lucy, and Emily. So they are real! Parker once again breaks into my thoughts, "If you think that was quite a dream you had, just wait until you live it. We are all ready to take you on a journey you'll never forget, but it would continue for all time, because once we leave with you, you will never return. Have you ever visited a village where they burn their witches at the stake? Or would you like to visit the Titanic or the Hindenburg? Visit wars throughout history? The possibilities are endless!"

Oh man, I am now realizing I won't be given a chance to do what I truly would like to do. This is truly my death sentence! Do I take my own life or spend how long in torture wondering when I am going to die, if I will die but be eternally in pain with no one but these future brats knowing where I am. Decisions... not sure what to do I look over at Parker to see him staring at me for my decision. As much as I would like to live, I don't want to live in pain, in torture, with no control over my destiny. So I decide to gain back that control, if I am to die (which I know is inevidable) I want to do it my way! So after much deliberation over everything I have heard and experienced in the last who knows how long, I decided to answer dear Parker the answer he's been waiting for.

"I'll do it." I don't know what I'm really saying or even what I think I'm doing, but I know this has to be the best of all of the other outcomes. "But you need to give me a few moments to get my head on and say a few last words to myself"

"I understand that, but also understand that I am not far away...I will be watching you until you take your last breath, whether here or in a different time, so running is not an option for you." Parker warns me. I nod to let him know I understand. "So I will leave you to your thoughts and hope to never officially meet you in the future." And with those words he left my car leaving me alone.

So many thoughts and memories came running thru my head. Some good, and some not so good. I know I must do this for myself, no one else. Its hurting to know that I can no longer be there for Christian, not like I was before. Up to a year ago I was an important person in his life. But now he wanted me dead... and before I killed his wife and kids. I wonder what my plan was? Must have been good...but I will never know. So with the thoughts of Christian younger and in my control I started my car. The thoughts of his will power as I punished him I pressed down on the gas revving my engine. And with the final thought that I am all he will ever need I put my car into drive and began to floor it. Steering my car onto the road of the bridge, I aimed for the guardrail as I saw myself plummeting to the water below. I whispered "I love you Christian" as my car hit the water with such force everything has gone black...

Then I saw a bright white light.

Parker's POV:

I stand with my security as I watch Elena's car fall off the bridge. She made a wise choice because I need to get back home to my own time. As I watched her car sink further into the water memories started surfacing in my mind..my mother holding me as a child, baking my birthday cake while my siblings sang humorously, tending to my scraped knee... then both my parents sitting in the crowd watching me graduate high school. A deep feeling of unconditional love has filled my heart and I now know I have succeeded on this mission. I just want to go home and see for myself that my mother, brother and sister are waiting for me. Their time was cut short before, leaving me before I even knew them... but not now! I hold onto these precious memories as I turn to my three faithful security members as I tell them, "Let's go home!"

A/N:

OK this is the end... I hope you enjoyed it! I am hoping to put some more stories out there eventually... but until then take care everyone!
