Magic Lives Here

Fool Me Once

"Just breathe and let it flow through you." Sasha told Alisha as she held her hand.

Alisha felt shakey but she tried to follow Sasha's orders.

"I need you to focus." She told her as she stepped aside.

Alisha let out a breath and fixed her eyes on the candles Grams had set up.

She shut her eyes and tried to clear her head like she had been told. When she opened them, half the candles were lit.

"Oh my gosh." She spoke.

She felt warm inside.

"Not bad." Sheila spoke coming up beside her.

Alisha shook her head still not believing this was real.

"Don't worry you'll have plenty of time to practice. For tonight I'll just need you to follow my orders." Sheila spoke as she went back to continue setting up for the spell. Bonnie was with her, both of them going through the grimoire.

Alisha looked around. They were at the ruins of Fell's church where there were apparently vampires trapped underground in the tomb.

Alisha couldn't believe it and the idea of a bunch of more scary vampires terrified her. But Sasha had explained that Damon - who was apparently not a good vampire - had the love of his life down there. And she was Elena's doppelgänger?

Alisha knew that was a person who looked exactly like you. She didn't fully understand any of it.

But she was here because she needed to help.

She was a witch.

She could do magic.

"Will this ever not be weird?" Alisha asked out loud.

Sasha looked at her and gave her a small smile.

"Probably not. But it can be cool as well."

Alisha didn't know about that.

She looked at Sasha. "I don't know how all this works but suddenly I can remember everything Sean tried to make me forget about our relationship - I remember him compelling me to date him."

Alisha shuddered. She thought about a time where he had simply compelled her to fall asleep when they were supposed to be on a date.

Sasha frowned. She clenched her fists. When she got her hands on Sean, he was going to pay.

"Don't worry Ali, no one will ever touch you again." She put her hand on her little sister's shoulder.

That was a promise.

Alisha looked into Sasha's eyes. "I - I also remember Vicki..."

"Ali -"Sasha sighed.

Before she could say anything else, Stefan climbed up from the tomb with a shovel in his hand.

"Cleared the debris away. Set the torches like you asked. We can get down now." He announced as he placed the shovel against a rock. Cans of gasoline lay near by and Bonnie looked at them.

"What is that?" She asked walking closer.

"It's everything I need to destroy them." Stefan announced and he handed Sheila a flashlight.

Alisha swallowed hard. Destroy them?

It all seemed gruesome and merciless.

"Are you sure that Damon will come back with her?" Sheila asked.

They suddenly heard a whistle and turned to see Damon walk in.

Alisha narrowed her eyes. She was on her guard. He was one of the bad ones.
