Fire in the Water (Book 1)

The freeness of the Light

Sophie's soul still dwelled in the spirit world. Eilif came to her bringing a person she least expected to see.

"Bonnie Bennet!"-Sophie uttered in amazment.

"Aha. And who are you?"- Bonnie asked.

"Sophie... I know your friends-Elena, Elijah?!"

"Elena is my friend, but I wouldn't call Elijah my friend. "

"A lot has happened since you sent Klaus to the spirit world,I don't know if we have time to talk about it all?!"-Sophie said.

"You will"- Eilif then said-"it's time to go home"

Both witches looked at the norn puzzled.

"Take her hand."-Eilif said to Sophie-"now release her of the spell Hunding witch spell."

Sophie did as Eilif suggested.

Murmurring the spell Sophie felt like both women were going through an unusual foggy barren area.  Then all of a sudden Sophie woke up. She looked around and now it was clear where she was. She got up and went into the woods to find Elena and Jeremy. She called out for them.

From a distance she heard Elena's faint voice shouting back. Sophie hurried.

When she finally found them, Elena was tending to Jeremy's wounds.

The enhancement magic lasted only during the the full moon and as the dawn broke, Jeremy was again only a hunter without the vampiric abilities.

"Hey-you guys made it."-Sophie said.

"Yeah"-Elena said-"the cuts and bruises are really bad."

"Feed him your blood."-Sophie then said.

Elena looked at her slightly peeved off that it didn't occur to her that she could help Jeremy that way.

Elena now cut into her palm with the sword  and put it on Jeremy's mouth.

Soon the women could see the wounds heal.

"Others?"-Elena then asked.

"Don't know yet."-Sophie said and then retold them what had happened in the spirit world.

Elena clouldn't help but cry tears of joy hearing that they got Bonnie back.

On the other side of the world Rebekah looked for Tyler, finding his body in the woods lying decapitated.

"No..."- she uttered. Even though she knew him for a little while, she couldn't help but shed tears over his dead body.

There was great sadnesss as well as joy when they finally managed to get in touch with one another.

Elena rang Elijah's number when she got back to the compound. Her heart raced with anxious anticipation till he answered and she could hear his voice uttering her name with great love and relief.

"I so can't wait to see you!!"-Elena uttered with excitement.

But as they finished that call, the other two were completely disheartening. When she dropped her phone on the floor looking like she had been kicked in the gut, Jeremy slipped a faint 'what?'

"Tyler...Caroline... didn't make it!"-she said and tears ran uncontrolably down her face.Jeremy embraced her trying to give her some comfort.

In the spirit world, Caroline and Tyler stood next to one another. The light around them shone like it was the brightest sunny day they had ever seen. Three women came to them. They were the norn elders.

"You are granted the wish your hearts desired. We are eternelly greatful for your sacrifice."- and as they said it they disappeared. 

As Caroline turned around she found herself in a room so very familiar to her.
