"Damon I don't know, that's complicated magic."

I muttered as I looked at the ascendant he showed me. "Hey! You're a witch, besides that you're like 150 years old! Get our friend back!" Caroline hissed at me like a controlling freak. "Bonnie could do it! Why can't you?" Elena asked calmly but the tone of her voice told me that she really wanted me to get Bonnie back.

"Bonnie is a Bennett witch! She's powerful enough.. I can try but I can't promise you guys anything."

Caroline clapped her hands and smiled. "So what are we waiting for? Get my best friend out of there." Suddenly Enzo stood up and ripped the ascendant out of my hand. "You're not going to do that." He hid the device in his pocket.

"What?! Enzo give it ba-"

Slamming his glass on the table he cut Caroline off. "I'm not sending my little sister on a suicide trip blondie." I sighed at my brothers reaction and also stood up. "Enzo I can do it." He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. "No. I just found you, you're not going anywhere." Damon pushed me aside to face my brother.

"Hey! I care about her just as much as you do, but Bonnie is trapped there with a fucking sociopath!"

Damons whole body tensed up as he yelled at Enzo.
"And you wanna risk losing Layla? You said it yourself! There is a sociopath, who would not hesitate to kill her!"
Enzo shouted back at the older Salvatore brother.

"They are two witches Enzo! That psycho has no magic at all!"

I sighed and grabbed into Enzos pocket. He quickly turned around and tried getting the ascendant back, but Damon held him back.

"I'm gonna try it tomorrow."

"Why not now?!"

Caroline was really a pain in the ass type of person. "Because I have to concentrate and according to Damon I have to wait for a celestial event, which would be tomorrow nights lunar eclipse."
Caroline shut up and sank into the couch.

I put the ascendant in my room and then I headed downstairs to grab myself a drink. Damon was talking to Elena, but I decided not to listen. He was probably just yelling at her how mad he is. Understandable. Which person wouldn't freak out..?

...

The next day arrived quickly and so everybody came to the Salvatore mansion to, hopefully, celebrate Bonnies return.

I got everything I needed in a bag pack. I wasn't stupid. Enzo was of course right. There was a sociopath, who would not hesitate a second to kill either me or Bonnie. So I got some.. let's say devices, to knock him out.

"Hey.."

As Enzo moved closer to me I could feel his concern about this. "Hi." I smiled and shouldered the bag. "Odessa, you know what you're doing, right?" I nodded with a confident smirk adorning my lips. "Please Lorenzo, is there anything your talented sister can't do?" – "Pancakes." My brother let out a little laugh, before pulling me into a hug.

"Promise me that no matter what, you're gonna save yourself first."

I didn't answer him but when he brought up his pinky, I just couldn't resist. It was kind of an insider we kept since our childhood. Pinky promises were superior to anything.

"Promise me Layla."

I intertwined our fingers and smiled. "I promise Enzo." We both knew that I didn't mean that. He knew that I would save Bonnie first if anything wouldn't go as planned.

"Ready for a trip to May 1994?"

Damon asked and rushed over to us with the rest of the gang following him. "Born ready." I grinned at the blue eyed vampire. "Take this with you and watch it carefully, okay?" Damon handed me a little tube filled with blood. He recognized my furrowed brows and let out a sigh.

"That's Bonnies blood."

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Damon in confusion. Why did he have a bottle filled with Bonnies blood? "If anything happens down there and you don't manage to come back.. You'll need this to get out." I nodded and hid the tube in my bag pack.

"Be careful, Odessa."

Damon smiled at me and then took a step back, just like the others. My glance wandered from Elena to Caroline to Stefan and finally on the ascendant in my palm.

"Phasmatos tribum invocio caveum miscero mundio."

All of the sudden a bright light hugged my whole body and made me close my eyes. Within a second the light was gone and so were my friends, but my position was the same.

I still stood in the living room of the Salvatore mansion. Did it work? I quickly looked in every room, trying to find Bonnie but she was no where to be found.

"Bonnie?"

Shouting her name I ran outside. I really tried thinking about where she could be right now. Maybe in the woods? Already positioned and waiting for the eclipse to begin?

My legs carried me into the woods of Mystic Falls. It was scary. Everything looked the same as it did in the present but there was no soul in the streets. Every store was abandoned.

"Bonnie?!"

I again yelled and tried making my way through the trees and leafs.

"Layla?"

Bonnie?
I followed her voice and vamp speeded to it. She stood there as if she had no idea what to do or what to expect. "Oh my god Bonnie!" As she saw me a relieved laugh escaped her lips. We hugged each other and sighed. I did it. I just had to do the spell and then we would get out of here.

As a big shadow laid on us I knew that the eclipse started. "Okay we can do that emotional stuff at home, let's get you out of here!" Bonnie nodded giggling at what I've said. I placed the ascendant in my palm and looked at Bonnie, who already knew what I was waiting for.

She cut her palm open and dropped some of her blood on the ascendant.

"Phasmatos tribum–"

I choked on the pain, which spread in my stomach. "Layla!" Bonnie screamed and stared at my body with widened eyes. A stake was pushed through me and made me sink onto the dirty ground.

"Forgetting someone, BonBon?"

Paralyzed from the sudden pain I couldn't even get that stake out of my stomach. I just thought about getting Bonnie out of here. While that guy moved dangerously close to Bonnie I finished the spell and threw the ascendant to Bonnie. Out of a reflex she caught it and disappeared in the bright light.

"NO LAYL–"

I sighed and just as I wanted to pull the stake out of my aching body this brunette guy shouted loudly and made my flinch on the ground.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
