"Tell me you're not serious" came the voice of Caroline over the phone.

"I wish. When we got back from looking for Jeremy, Shane and Bonnie were gone too. Shane needs Bonnie to cast a spell on Jeremy's tattoo in order to find the cure, and he managed to sneak them both out from under our noses. Malik is here but we cannot track them using magic."

"And where's Damon in all this?"

"We had an argument. I thought he was just taking a walk, but then when we went to the beach, we saw signs of a struggle. Meaning somebody probably jumped him and then grabbed him!"

"Do you think Shane took him?"

"No I mean, he's not strong enough to take Damon on, even with the element of surprise. He must have someone, or at least a few others helping him."

"I'm sorry. I wish I was there to help."

"Well, maybe there's something you can do from home" butted in Malik immediately leaning closer to the brunette.

"Anything! Tell me."

"Shane's looking for the cure. We think we can find him. We have pictures of Jeremy's tattoo, but we can't translate the map."

"Unless you get the Hunter's Sword from Klaus."

"Exactly" spoke Malik with a big smile.

"He'll never give up the sword, not even for Malik. He's terrified we'll use the cure against him to make him mortal, and even if he wasn't, he wouldn't want any of us to derive a moment's worth of happiness from being human" interrupted Rebekah while pacing up and down anxiously.

"Well, maybe he doesn't have to give it up. I mean, Klaus is stuck in Elena's house by Bonnie's spell. He can't go anywhere. There is only so many places you can hide a three-foot piece of metal" explained Stefan but Caroline was paying close attention to everything they said.

"I'll find it, don't worry. Just e-mail me photos of Jeremy's tattoo. I'll find the sword, and I'll call you back."

"Thank you, Caroline."

"Bye."

Putting the phone away Elena looked at Malik who nodded and the warlock walked to the water and standing there watched the horizon for a bit while Rebekah wandered around the beach and Elena sat down next to Stefan.

Waiting around wasn't his ideal state not knowing where Bonnie was. There was another witch on the island who managed to block locator spells on both Bonnie and Jeremy, and since he had nothing of Shane on him that was a dead end.

Listening to nature around him helped with his anxiety. Closing his eyes he was gently rocking himself back and forth, focusing on nature. The water hitting the shore, the cold wind, the trees and animals... that was until he began to hear very quiet whispers.

For a moment he sensed the spirits which alarmed him. Breaking himself out of that state turned around and walking closer to Stefan dropped himself on the ground and spoke gently to the vampire.

"I'm getting antsy. I'll try and see what's happening... can I trust you lot to protect my body?"

"We'll keep you safe" offered Elena to which Malik just gave a small smile and closing his eyes began chanting quietly and focusing on his connections he felt a vortex in his stomach, but once he opened his eyes he stood in the Gilbert house.

Walking around he arrived to the kitchen and seeing Kol's burnt body  he slowly leaned down and wanted to touch the blanket when he heard a voice from behind.
