Dean Pov

She's really slick! Her body is shaking as she goes back into a slumber. "Hello boys" Rowena speaks as I hold the phone while Sam drives. "We need your help, we have someone who's been hexed. She's really sick, can you undo it" I rammed out. "What's her name Dean and who is she?" Why does this matter to Rowena? "Her name is Elena Gilbert, she's family" I speak fast. "Oh god not again" what does she mean not again? "Where are you boys" Okay now we're getting back on topic. "We're pulling up to a motel called the May where maybe 30 miles from the bunker" Sam yells to the phone from the driver's seat. "Make sure she isn't cold, try and keep her temperature down and I'll be there soon" Rowena hangs up after she's done explaining. I hold Elena in my arms as We pull at the motel and get out of the car.

"We need a room now" I slam my fists on the counter. A key is tossed at me and I search every door number. Finally! I open the door to room 20 and kick the door closed behind me. "Get a wet cloth, a bucket, and some whiskey from my bag" I ordered Sam around. I lay Elena down on the bed and tug the doona covers over her. She's still shaking. Sam hands me the wet face washer which I lay on Elena's forehead. Rowena better not take long or I'll kill her! I place the bucket besides Elena for her to only one lean over and spew. "Shh it's okay" I softly talk as Elena rests on her side. "Rowena sounded like she knew who Elena was on the phone" so my brother thinks the same thing as me. "Well we're going to find out" I speak back in a bitter tone. My only focus is making sure Elena is going to be okay. I was given one job in life. To protect Sam at no matter what costs. Now I have two jobs. Protect Sam and Elena! I owe this to Miranda and Grayson. I owe it to my dad. I lock my hand in Elena's as she reaches out. "Whiskey" I remind Sam. Sam tosses me the bottle and I catch it with my free hand. I take a swig of the whiskey and hand it to Sam. "It hurts" Elena starts to toss and turn and cry in pain. I place my hand on her forehead to feel her burning up. "She's still got a temperature" I mumble. I'm no fucking doctor what do I do? "Where the hell is Rowena?" I'm starting to get pissed. Really pissed!

"You called, I came" I turned my head to look at the red haired witch standing at the door. "Oh sweet Elena" Rowena mumbles. I move away from Elena's side to allow Rowena to do her magic. "I heard about the demon Elena killed, what you didn't know was he hexed her" I try to think back to when I was reading about the demon but nothing was mentioned about a hexing spell. I put her in danger. Rowena places one hand on Elena's forehand and one on Elena's stomach. There is a purple glow as Rowena unties the spell. I watch Elena's eyes flutter open only for her to be coughing on air. I throw her the bottle of whiskey which she immediately takes a sip of. "That was a bitch" there's the Elena we all know and love. "Wait, Rowena" Elena crooks her head to the side and puts her arms around the witch. I look over to my brother to notice he is as confused as I am. "Right. Well Rowena was the one that always came and cured me when I was sick and when I got rid of the child Rowena came up with the lies for me" So all this time Rowena knew Elena. "Yes indeed. I thought you were dead when I returned to that retired house" So Rowena does care after all about humans. "Thanks for helping us out, I guess we owe you" Sam arranges. "Oh Sam you don't owe me, I was here to help Elena with no deal attached" the witch turns down. Somehow I like this version of Rowena. She isn't making deals or being a hag. "I must be off but take care of her otherwise might find yourselves in a great deal of pain" there'd the Rowena we know. Threats and magic.

"Can we get back on the road?" Elena eagerly asks. "I don't see why not" I agree. I help Elena stand just in case she stumbles. "Dean I'm perfectly fine to walk on my own" I step back to let her walk on her own even though she's still a bit weak in the knees.

Elena POV

I haven't felt like talking to Sam or Dean about what happened and my history with Rowena. Rowena was like a fairy godmother to me when I was held hostage. She would make sure I was fed and cleaned, when I was hurt she would come and heal me. I don't understand why Dean looks at Rowena like she's bad. Yes she's done some bad things but haven't we all. "Home sweet home" Dean announces as he opens the door to the bunker. "I'm taking the first shower" I claim. "I'm also feeling like burgers and fries," I ordered. I take my bag to my room and get some clothes to change to after a shower. "Hey Ellie, um" I turn around to face an awkward Sam who is trying to get his words out/ "what's up Sam. Cat got your tongue" I joke. "Don't worry. Just wanted to know if you wanted onion rings as well" This isn't what he really wanted to talk about. "Yes thanks" I smile and walk towards the bathroom.
