I feel like I need to paint the ceiling, seeing as I always understand up staring at it. I hear laughter from downstairs. I left an hour ago and no one seemed to have noticed.

Maybe I just need a nap.

•••

I'm woken up by screaming. The lights flicker. If I didn't know my house inside out, I'd probably walk into a wall. I open my door and head to Elena's room.

I rub the sleep out of my eyes...oh look, stars.

"Elena what the hell is going on?" I shout. But she doesn't answer, she's panting like she just ran a marathon. She bangs on the door of the bathroom.

"You guys open the door! Help me!" And it finally clicks. Bonnie is inside bathroom and she's stuck. I have a pair of extra keys and run to fetch them. I look in my draws, in a rush I throw everything out to find them. But when I get back Bonnie is out and fine.

I must be tripping or the lights must be playing tricks because her face shifts. One minute it's Bonnie and the next it's not. The face looks like a relative of hers.

"Emily?" I whisper.

"Thank you for having me. I'll take it from here." It's Bonnie voice and her face but somehow it's off. She sounds to formal and proper. She stands to straight.

"Where are you going?" Elena asks while Caroline gets her bags to leave. If only she knew what I was seeing right now.

Emily walks up to me. "Everything will be fine. You will be fine. Death is not the worst thing that can happen." She knows about the curse.

"You know?" I ask. All she does is nods and walks off.

Elena asks her again, where she is going and this time she's answers. "Back to where it all began. I won't let him have it. It must be destroyed." She rushes to the door and closes it immediately.

The door is locked and we can't get out. Emily knew and so did Bonnie's grams. Maybe Bonnie knows something but she would have said something by now.

Caroline and Elena keep trying to open the door but it won't work. She probably sealed it shut with magic and we're only human, there no way we can open it. Luckily we don't have to, as Jeremy does that for us. It scares them and I can't help but giggle.

Caroline leaves but I follow Elena. She calls Stefan to let him know what's happening. We get in the car and drive to Fell's church.

•••

When we get there Stefan and Damon are already fighting. "These people don't deserve this. They should never have to know such evil."

Stefan pulls away from his brother. "What do you mean evil?" He questions her. He's bleeding but looks fine. Perks of being dead I guess.

Damon threatens her but she doesn't stop. Whatever she's come here to do, she'll do it.

"To save her, I had to save them." Save them...them.

There were 27 people, no vampires burned here. them. He made a deal to save Katherine...no matter what. them. Emily did the spell to save them.

He wants to unleash 27 vampires that have been starved for 145 years?

It seems Stefan come to the same conclusion as I have. "There is nothing innocent about these people, and don't think for a second it won't happen again. They already know too much, and they'll burn your little grandwitch right next to us when they find out. Trust me."

"Damon." I speak for the first time. I walk up to him slowly,with my hands stretched out. I am approaching a predator after all.

"Who put those vampires there?" I ask, taking a small step towards him.

"I don't need a history lesson. I was there!" He growls through a clenched jaw.

"Humour me." I step closer. "Please."

"The founding families."

"And who created the inventions?" Just a couple of steps closer and I'll be there.

"Johnathan Gilbert. But what does-"

"I'm not finished! Who do you think they'll come for first?" I interrupted him, which is a bad idea. He bares his teeth at me in warning.

"Oh my God. They'll come for the founding families." Elena answers for him. I roll my eyes. There's a reason I wanted Damon to answer.

I sigh and release an exasperated sigh "Thank you Elena." I give her a pointed look. Hopefully she'll understand that I basically said 'Shut up'

"Have you forgotten my name Damon? It's Ivy Gilbert. I'm human and they will kill me. I'm your friend. Do you want that? For me to die?" I'm so close to him now. I can reach out and touch him.

He speeds over to me and grabs my neck. In the corner of my eye I see Stefan move. He wants attack Damon but I raise my hand to stop him.

"You think I won't kill you? I am a vampire and you're my lunch. You mean nothing to me." He squeezes my neck tighter.

"Then...do...it." I try to say, hopefully he understands.

Elena shouts and cries in the background. Is it really the moment to make everything about you Elena?

"Incendia." The pentagram Emily carved into the dirt around her is set ablaze, and flames create a wall around Emily.

"Emily don't do this. I will kill her if you to." Damon shouts to her.

"You won't! It is not her time yet and you have no control over it. You cannot get in the way of destiny." Destiny?

Emily throws the necklace into the air, and it explodes above them. Once the spell is complete and the crystal is destroyed, Emily departs from Bonnie's body. Bonnie finally reawakens, and looks around in horror, having no idea what had just occurred. Damon is furious. I'm a fit of rage he throws me against a tree. Since his deal with Emily is off, he bites Bonnie and feeds on her. Elena yells in fear, and Stefan rushes over to pull Damon off of her. He kneels next to her and checks her pulse.

Elena rushes over to me but my vision blurs over. Everything sounds like I'm underwater. I feel exhausted, a nap will help. Yeah I think I'll take a nap.

I must be really tired because Damon looks almost sad. He's never sad. Oh well, gimme that nap.

 Oh well, gimme that nap
