Burn - N.M & E.M

Chapter 18

Chelsea wakes up to the feeling of being placed done on something soft.

"What do you want?" Chelsea hears Elena ask while she tries to get her eye lids to cooperate and open.

"Shh." Someone shushes.

"Please, I'm hurt." Elena whimpers and Chelsea can finally get her eyes open.

"I know. Just a taste." The man says and starts to lean down to bite Elena. Chelsea tries to call her powers forwards...she can't...she can't even feel the warmth in her stomach.

"Trevor! Control yourself." A sudden shout echoes through the room causing Chelsea to turn her head quickly towards the voice. Her head gets dizzy, and she starts seeing two of the same angry looking woman.

"Buzzkill." The man huffs before he leaves the room.

Chelsea carefully moves to sit up.

"What do you want with us?" Elena asks as she looks over at a rather pale Chelsea.

"Oh my god, you look just like her." The woman says, shocked.

"But I'm not. Please, whatever you..." Elena gets interrupted.

"Be quiet!" The woman exclaims.

"But I'm not Katherine. My name is Elena Gilbert; you don't have to do this. Chelsea has nothing to do with any of this." Elena pleads.

"I know who both of you are, I said be quiet." The woman snaps causing Chelsea's head to ache at the loud sound.

"What do you want?" Elena asks.

The woman suddenly speeds forwards and slaps Elena across the face, causing her to fall onto the sofa unconscious.

"I want you to be quiet." The woman tells the room before she turns to look at Chelsea. "You look pale. Are you okay?"

"Despite the fear of getting slapped, I would like to know what it is you gave me." Chelsea asks, not mentioning that she can't feel her magic in case they don't know about it and the loss of it was just a side effect.

"We used a herbal mixture to knock you out, it also has the added effect of temporarily removing your magic, so don't think for a second that you will be able to burn us." After she says that she leaves the room.

Chelsea feels both relieved and terrified. Relieved that she will have her magic back and terrified that these people know not only that she has magic but the exact type of magic.

"This has Katherine written all over it." Stefan tells his brother.

"Katherines in the tomb. Trust me; I'm the one who shut her in." Damon states.

"Did you?" Stefan asks.

"Did I what, Stefan?" Damon retorts.

"Well, I know the hold that Katherine has on you." Stefan points out.

"She's in the tomb, period. End of story but she did say something to me right before I shut her in. I thought she was lying." Damon says annoyed with himself.

"What did she say?" Stefan questions.

"Elena and Chelsea are in danger." Damon answers.

"What? Wait and Chelsea? Did you ask her to elaborate?" Stefan queries.

"Everything she says is a lie. How am I supposed to know if she's gonna start spouting out the truth?" Damon points out.

"We have to talk to her." Stefan states as he takes out his phone and sends a message to Bonnie.
