Fated Bonds

Chapter 10

The night stretched on endlessly for Sabrina as she lay on her bed, her mind racing with unanswered questions and the weight of secrecy pressing down on her chest. Despite her determination to seek answers from Caroline about Elena's involvement in the Mikaelson drama, Sabrina remained unaware of the protective spell Bonnie had cast on her room.

With a deep breath to steady her nerves, Sabrina swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, her heart pounding with anticipation. She crossed the room with purpose, her hand reaching out to grasp the doorknob. As she turned it, anticipation and anxiety churned in her stomach. But instead of the door swinging open, Sabrina felt a sudden searing heat against her palm.

"Ow!" Sabrina cried out in pain, pulling her hand back instinctively. She stared at her palm in confusion, watching wisps of smoke curl from the doorframe. The realization dawned on her that something was blocking her path, something that hadn't been there before.

"Caroline!" Sabrina called out urgently, her voice tinged with desperation. "Mom!"

Minutes passed in agonizing silence before Sabrina heard hurried footsteps approaching from the other side of the door. Caroline's voice, filled with concern, called out to her. "Sabrina, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Sabrina pressed her hand against the door, feeling the residual heat singe her skin. "Caroline, I can't get out," she explained urgently. "There's some kind of barrier, it burned me when I tried to leave."

There was a moment of stunned silence before Caroline responded, her voice tinged with worry. "Oh no," she murmured. "Sabrina, listen to me. Bonnie must have cast a protective spell on your room. It's to keep you safe from whatever's going on with the Mikaelsons."

Sabrina's heart sank at Caroline's words. She had hoped to find answers, but instead, she found herself trapped in her own room, isolated from the very people who could help her make sense of the chaos unfolding around them. "Caroline, please," Sabrina pleaded, her voice cracking with emotion. "I need to know what's happening. Elena... she's involved somehow, isn't she?"

There was a long pause before Caroline responded, her voice soft yet resolute. "Yes, Sabrina," she admitted reluctantly. "Elena's been keeping secrets, and it's tied to the Mikaelsons. But right now, your safety comes first. We can't risk you getting caught up in their dangerous game."

Sabrina leaned against the door, her mind reeling with a mix of frustration and fear. She knew Caroline was right — the Mikaelsons were powerful and unpredictable, and their feud with Mikael posed a grave threat to everyone involved. But the need for answers gnawed at her, driving her to push against the confines of her confinement.

As the hours passed, Sabrina remained locked in her room, her thoughts consumed by the tangled web of alliances and betrayals that had ensnared her world. She felt the weight of isolation bearing down on her, a prisoner of circumstances beyond her control.

Outside, Caroline stood guard, her own worry etched on her face as she monitored the barrier that held Sabrina captive. She knew the stakes were high, and the danger looming over them was palpable. But for now, all they could do was wait and hope for a resolution to the Mikaelson drama that would free Sabrina from her confinement and bring peace to their fractured world.
