I helped Bonnie set up a circle of torches in the antechamber and light them with a flame.
"Where the hell is Damon?" Stefan asks as he paces. I shake my head and put my phone away after several times of trying to reach him. "I don't know"
Bonnie looks at Stefan. "We can't wait, we have to get him out of there."
Stefan runs a hand through his face. "She's fed, she has her strength back."
"We still have what's left of the ash" I say as I hand him the envelope with said ash. "Do you think you can get close enough?" Bonnie asks.
Stefan takes the envelope from me.
"I don't have a choice."
Bonnie sighs. "It's gonna take me some time."
"How long?" I ask, resting a hand on my hips with worry and nerves.
"I don't know, a while." Bonnie replies.
Stefan mutters something under his breath. "Just get me in there as soon as you can."
Bonnie has the grimoire open, her eyes tightly shut, as she begins chanting a spell in Latin. Stefan and I watch with worrisome eyes.
Bonnie, with a pair of dog tags clutched in one hand, continues chanting the spell.
Bonnie continues to chant the spell and the flames flare up. Katherine, dragging Jeremy behind her, comes back towards the entrance.
"Ohhh, something's happening." Katherine musses and I look back at her with a scowl.
Jeremy's eyes widen when he sees Bonnie. "Bonnie, no!"
Stefan and I looked back at Bonnie, a look of alarm on our faces.
Jeremy looks at us, "You have to stop her, she's not strong enough!" He yells just as The flames flare up higher.
Katherine tilts her head. "Maybe she is."
Bonnie continues to chant the spell as Stefan and I try to persuade her to stop when blood starts coming from her nose.
"Bonnie!" I exclaim. "You got to stop her!" Jeremy exclaims and then we hear a thud, we turn around to see Jeremy on the ground thanks to Katherine who elbowed him.
"Okay, you need to Stop. Bonnie!" I yell as I try to grab her by the shoulders but she shrugs my hands of her shoulders and continued chanting.
"Bonnie!"
Suddenly, Bonnie faints. Stefan gets down next to her and begins to shake her and I do the same.
"Bonnie. Bonnie, wake up, please. Bonnie, wake up. Bonnie, please" I exclaim/beg.
"Yes, please because I'm still in here!" Katherine calls out.
Katherine impatiently paces around inside the tomb till Bonnie finally wakes up.
"Are you okay? You all right?" Stefan and I ask.
Bonnie, feeling fuzzy, stands up with Stefan's help. Bonnie uses Stefan's arm to stand herself up.
"It didn't work." Bonnie mutters.
Bonnie looks into the cave, upset. Stefan holds onto her arms so she won't fall back down.
"I'm not strong enough. Even with help, I can't do it." Bonnie says in disappointment and defeat.
"Ahhh, that's too bad, I'm still hungry." Katherine says from inside the tomb, she grabs Jeremy's shirt and pushes him up against the wall. She extends her fangs and prepares to bite Jeremy's neck.
"STEFAN!" I yell when Stefan vamp-speeds into the tomb, grabs Jeremy, throws him out, and restrains Katherine against the wall.
Jeremy falls onto the ground and Bonnie and I kneel down and wrap our arms around him. We all look up as Stefan looks back at us. Katherine looks up at Stefan with a smug smile.
I sent Bonnie to take Jeremy home while I stayed at the tomb, pacing with stress.
I rake a hand through my hair and stifled a groan. "Relax Ariel. All will be well" Katherine says from the entrance. I roll my eyes at her and look up when Stefan appears.
"I'll leave you two alone" Katherine says before wandering deeper in the cave. I stand and make my way to the entrance.
"What were you thinking Stefan?" I retort, "I- What do I tell Elena when she finds out" I ask, tearing up.
"Or Damon?" Stefan sighs.
"The truth. You should go now" I nod and turn around. "Yeah I should" I turn back around but Stefans gone. I sigh and pick up my bag and I'm about to leave when Elena comes running down the stairs.
She rushes towards the cave and looks in, but sees no one. "Elena" I called out to her.
Elena ignores me. "Stefan! Stefan!" She yells.
Elena is about to enter the cave when Damon comes up from behind her, grabs her, and pins her against the wall.
"Don't you dare." He warns.
"Stefan's in there, Damon! How could you let this happen?" She yells.
Damon frowns. "What are you talking about? I was too busy saving you from your crazy kamikaze mission." What?
"You didn't even have to go after the moonstone in the first place!" Elena yells.
Damon sighs. "It was the right call, Elena."
Elena almost laughs in his face. "The right call? How was any of this the right call?!" Elena exclaims and hits Damon's chest with her fists.
"Damon, let go of me! Damon, let go of me! Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Elena repeatedly beats her fist into Damon's chest, who keeps a calm face and restrains her. Elena becomes tired and desperately looks up at Damon.
"Please." Elena begs. "Are you done?" He asks.
Elena breathes heavily. Damon releases her from his grip and backs up. Elena looks into the cave and starts to move towards it. Damon holds his hand up to block her way.
"Don't." He warns,
Elena snarls at Damon and stomps out of the tomb in a rage. Damon watches her go then looks back into the cave. I follow after Elena who paces outside.
"Elena.."
"How did this happen?" She asks, trying to put up a brave face. "Stefan did it too...to save Jermey, Elena" I explain.
Elena nods in understanding and I embrace her, she hugs me back and cry's into my shoulder.
And we're back!
The next chapter will be out probably tomorrow or sometime next week!
