enzo started throwing up blood which only made may more worried than before.
alaric and caroline went to go check on the lead they had on sybil. they didn't find her but she had been at the diner. they were getting close.
stefan's phone rang and he walked away from may and enzo to go answer it.
"tell me you found them." stefan said when he answered the phone.
"no, but they were just here, so, whatever you're doing with enzo, it's working." alaric told him.
may knew enzo was too weak to listen in to the call but she still was.
"look, sybil is mentally torturing him and i think may's prying around his head is making it worse." stefan told him.
"i don't care." alaric said flatly.
"ric." stefan tried.
"i'm serious, stefan. enzo's the best chance i have at getting my kids back, so if you have to turn his brain into oatmeal, that's what you do, understood?" alaric said angrily.
"let me talk to caroline." stefan replied.
"now's not a good time." alaric told him.
"just make sure she knows i'm doing everything i can." stefan told them.
"yeah, well, do more." alaric said before hanging up the call.

may was patting enzo's head with a damp cloth while he stayed unconscious. she stood up, looking at stefan.
"what's the plan? we have to help him, stefan." may told him.
"we can go inside his mind again but i don't know if that's a good idea." stefan said.
may took a moment to think, she wanted caroline and alaric's kids to be okay.
"okay, do it. just be careful." may told him.
stefan got closer to enzo before placing his hand on his arm and closing his eyes.
enzo woke up and he started bleeding out of his nose. may saw him getting worse and worse.
after getting in his head the second time, stefan knew where to go but sybil wanted him to go alone. she was at a motel with damon, selina and the twins.
after stefan left, may stayed by enzo's side. he was unconscious again and she was terrified that he wasn't going to wake up.
she saw matt and bonnie walking over to her and they sat with her.
"i gave ric and caroline the address to the motel. they're on their way there now." matt said.
"that's good." may replied, not taking her eyes off enzo.
"may, when's the last time you ate something? like actually ate something?" bonnie asked her, referring to blood.
"i couldn't, even if i wanted to. i love him more than anyone. i can't face a world where he isn't in it." may said as a tear ran down her face.
"you won't. think about it. that siren absolutely erased damon. she found whatever was good inside him and crushed it. then she tried doing the same thing to enzo and he fought back. survived and escaped." matt said.
"i'm not so sure he escaped her." may said honestly.
"he will. he's a tough bastard." matt said.
"i'm not sure which one of you to kiss first." enzo said before slowly opening his eyes.
may looked at him and she felt peace seeing him with his eyes open. they got closer to each other, holding each other in a tight hug.
may felt tears fall down her face and she pulled away from him, kissing him softly.

after enzo was okay again, she took him back to the house and they were sitting on her bed. she was looking at him and he could tell her mind was racing.
"i'm fine, love. really." enzo told her.
"i know that. it's just, i fought so bloody hard to get you back, and... here you are, still suffering for what sybil put you through. i just want you to know how much i appreciate how hard you fought to get back to me." may said as enzo smiled.
"that's what i do. it's what i'll always do." enzo said.
"can i ask, how did you keep fighting so long after damon broke?" may asked him.
"i was an orphan, as you know. abused. abandoned. spent the better part of my life tortured by a man who stripped me of my identity. a century like that, you harden your heart and your mind till you're made of stone." enzo explained to her.
"but... you're not made of stone, my love. you're kinder than anyone i've ever met, you're loyal, you're loving, and most of all, you are the one person that taught me how to live my life." may told him, smiling at him.
"thanks to you. all those years, i kept a secret from the world. a shred of faith. see, i never believed that life... the universe, a higher power, whatever you want to call it, nothing... would allow me to suffer so much and then die... without knowing true love. i'd just be too cruel. and when i met you and reunited with you... my faith was rewarded." enzo said, placing a hand on her face.
"so... basically what i'm hearing is, i'm an angel." may joked making enzo chuckle.
"mabel wilkins, to me, you're the whole damn world." enzo said before he leaned over to kiss her.
may smiled in the kiss and she got closer to him. they were happiest when they were with each other. may never cared to be with anyone the way that she wanted to be with enzo.
"i love you, lorenzo st. john." may said once they pulled away from their kisses.
"i love you more than you can ever know, mabel wilkins." enzo replied before may went back to kissing him.
the rest of the night was spent kissing and just holding each other. they just wanted to be alone for the night, in each other's company.
that was how they spent their night, together, cuddling in her bed until they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
