****REWRITING IN PROCESS****
A thousand years ago, seven stars sat illuminated in the night sky, surrounded by the moon, wrapped around its comfort and loving embrace, secured in the safety net that always provided them protection.
Too soon, it all...

Anna had got fed up with Darcy shouting abuse and banging on the door and now had her sitting on the bed next to Elena.
"Now, are you going to be a good girl and behave?"
Darcy let out a boisterous laugh, "Oh, sweetie. I'm anything but good."
Anna shot her glare, to which Darcy blew her kiss and a mocking wave.
Elena elbowed her to behave. "Bonnie's not going to open the tomb."
"Oh, I think she will."
"Do you really want Katherine out that bad?"
"Elena, no one wants that bitch out that bad." Darcy butted in, in a bored tone.
Anna nodded in confirmation. "Trust me, no one I know wants to see that girl again. Except for Damon. No, actually, I don't think he even does." She glanced at Darcy, "I think he's finally moved on. Although, I do feel sorry for them."
Darcy raised a curious brow, "Then who is it? I mean, you can't be going to all this effort for no one special."
Anna looked down for a moment, sadness colouring her face. "My mother is in there. Katherine couldn't help herself. She just had to toy around with both of the Salvatore brothers, and when she got caught, so did my mother. I watched as Jonathan Gilbert took her away."
The Protectress gazed at the vampire. Though she could understand why she's going to such lengths, that doesn't make all she's done is okay. Because it's not, there are other ways and measures to get your way.
"I'm sorry," Elena said sympathetically.
"You really mean that, don't you? Yeah, I think we'll skip the dead mum bonding, so you can start serving a purpose."
Darcy and Elena looked at each other, "Which is what?" they asked in sync.
"Leverage. This belong to you?" Anna asked as she pulled out Elena's phone. She went to reach for it, but Anna moved it away and clicked a few buttons, puts it on loudspeaker, and then hits dial.
"Elena, are you okay?" Stefan's voice filtered through the device, causing Darcy to sit up straighter from her reclined position.
"She's fine. Not sure about Darcy. Tell me you have the Grimoire."
"Dar- I can get it."
"Which means your brother has it, and I have the witch and your little huntress. So one of you had better meet me in the very public town square in thirty minutes, so we can safely discuss how fun it's going to be working together." Anna chirped as she hung up.
She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked. "I'm leaving." She said as Ben opened the door and began to drag Bonnie into the bedroom.
"Get your filthy leech hands off of her." Darcy gritted as she leapt up, snatched the witch out of his arms, and pushed her over to Elena. She stared Anna down, daring her to do something; her blood burned as she watched the female vampires lips twitch in a smirk.
