Dear diary

I think I might burn you soon. I'm tired of talking about my problems to you.

But I won't burn you yet. It's been a week at the lake house and my phone has been blowing up. Everyone is so 'worried' about me. Yeah right.

Elena has trying contacting me and I make it a point to end the call when it comes through. Just so she knows I'm avoiding her.

I've decided that Grayson and Miranda Gilbert will always be my parents. Biological or not, they loved me like their own and that will never.

It been a peaceful week but I want to go back home. This place just feels to empty without my parents.

I throw my diary in my bag and start packing. Hopefully they haven't burnt down the house in my absence.

Ring.Ring.

"Oh my God? Ivy, thank God, we've all been going crazy. Where the hell are you?"

"He-hey Bonnie. Um I-I, it doesn't matter. I'm coming home today."

"Ivy...we're opening the tomb. Tonight."

I freeze and a chill runs down my back. Something feels wrong about this.

"Are you crazy? You can't-"

"Just hurry back. I need you. Ivy please." She cries.

"I'll be there soon. Be safe." I end the call and get all my shit together. This metaphorical house was fucking on fire.

I got to Mystic Falls just in time. I rushed to the old church the same time Damon did.

"Brother. Witches. Ivy?" I raises a brow at me.

Bonnie rushes over to me and pulls me into a giant hug. "There's my favourite Bennett witch." I sigh, dissolving into this hug.

Once Bonnie moves away Elena comes in for a hug. It's awkward and I just pat her back. Now is not the time to be a bitch but later I won't hesitate.

I walk away to meet Shelia. "Nice to see you again." She nods and even hugs me to. Colour me shocked.

"Will you help us?" She whispers.

"How?" I whisper back.

"We want to channel you." She says.

"Why? And how would that work?"

"I sense a power in you Ivy and I think you sense it to."

"If I die I'll haunt you." I smile and hold hands with Grams and Bonnie.

No one objects, this must have been discussed before hand. So much for being worried about my safety.

Once the spell starts, my sense starts to dull. I can't see clearly or hear much. I feel like I'm floating but I force myself to hold onto Bonnie and Grams.

•••

My sense come back immediately after the spell. It's overwhelming and I collapse from the sensory overload.

Everyone starts to crowd around me and Grams. "I'm fine." I say monotonously.

I don't see Damon in the group. He looks like he is drowning in pain. Elena goes over to him and hugs him. She whispers something to him but he doesn't notice.

Instead he is watching me.

He starts to move in ways I wasn't aware vampire could move, Elena to. They start to swirl around in my vision.

My nose starts dripping and I got to wipe it but it just keeps flowing. I notice everyone staring at me and my hands come back bloody.

"No...hospital. I'm—I'm fine." I say before blacking out.

•••

Its so cold here. And really dark.

Where is everyone? "Hello" I shout.

"Well well well. I didn't think I'd have any visitors so soon." I hear and my vision starts to clear. I'm at Grams house and we're at the table drinking tea.

"How did I get here?" I ask her, I don't remember getting to her home.

She touches my hand and I scream. Her touch sent shivers throughout my body. She feels—she feels dead but that doesn't make sense.

And it's not the same as Damon and Stefan. This feels final. My eyes widen and I start to cry.

"You're dead? Aren't you." I ask through my tears. She simply nods and drinks her tea.

"Wait—does that mean?" I could've finish my thought process.

"No child. You're just in between right now. Your death has been set and today is not that day."

"Set? By who? When?" I ask hysterically.

"Answers will come soon. But tell Bonnie I love her and this wasn't her fault." How could I say no.

She looks left and a smile appears on her face. Her mouth starts to move but there's no sound. There's a blinding light behind her and I close my eyes.

I slowly open my eyes and start to move. Who turned the lights up? "Good you're awake "Damon says from the side of my bed.

"Took you long enough." He smirks.

Great.
