•1903•

"No." "Absolutely not." Elijah and I stared at Damon as we spoke.

While I love helping everyone, I don't want to go to 1903. I don't even want to be out of bed right now. "Fine." Damon rolled his eyes as he spoke.

That.... Was suspiciously easy. Looking over to Elijah I can tell he's thinking the same thing.

"Shall we?" As Bonnie spoke Damon walked over and grabbed Elena's hand. "Let's go get Mama."

I don't like the feeling of this. He didn't try to convince me to come. That's... 'worryingly uncharacteristic'

"Sangiema meam et nos mundo carcerema." As Kai chanted I watched the gears in the ascendant turn.

As he started to repeat it a second time light filled the room. "Just one last thing." Before Elijah, or I, could react I felt Damon grab me.

"What the fuck!" As I opened my eyes I pushed him away from me.

He didn't respond, instead just pulling out the coat he had hidden in his. "Damon!" As Elena yelled at him I took the coat.

"Well, isn't this a picturesque slice of hell?" Pulling the coat on I rolled my eyes at Damon.

Bonnie was annoyed but I can tell she wasn't particularly surprised. And Kai certainly wasn't. Honestly I'm not surprised either.

"You guys go ahead. Kai and I will start the locator spell on the ascendant." I zipped up the coat as Bonnie spoke. "But Kai just had the ascendant. Why do we have to find another one?"

Did no one seriously explain how it works to Elena? Oh my god. Lillian Salvatore better be the best fucking mother on earth, I swear. "The ascendant can't travel between worlds, which means we got to find it's mirror image here in 1903."

While Kai was talking I pulled up my hood. It's cold as balls. "Page 10 of the world-jumping rulebook. Shall we?" As Damon started to walk away I followed.

"You are a piece of shit-" "You know you love me." Not when it's fucking negative ten degrees and my boobs hurt.

After a minute or two of walking, he stopped me. We were far enough away that only Elena would be able to hear us. "We're leaving Kai here. That's why I grabbed you. I think Elijah will let this one pass." I feel like he might not.

As Elena caught up with us I nodded to Damon. "Yeah. He's gonna be real happy you brought his human fiance into the prison world that houses a ripper. Maybe he'll even have Freya send you a little thank you card while we're in here."

As Damon and Elena spoke I looked around the room. They were looking at... Baby pictures of him and Stefan.

I was just trying to make sure there wasn't anything, even possibly, toxic to breath. There's probably something, I'm sure.

Damon walked away from Elena, looking in a few drawers as he passed them. He's... Understandably upset.

But that doesn't mean I want to listen to it. "Damon?" As I heard a woman's voice I turned around. Huh. So that's Lily.

She was holding fire wood. The shock on her face made me want to cry. Fucking hormones- "Hello, mother." "Damon, you're going to give her a heart attack!" In response he just gave me an annoyed look.

"There was a time I marked days on a calendar. I gave up after a few years." Do not cry Tony, don't cry, do not...

As she poured tea into my cup I gave her a nod in thanks. "But judging by your bizarre attire-" "You've been in here for over a century." Elena you could at least break the news gently.
