Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 4

Stefan was desperate to find Elena and Bonnie, so he asked Damon for help, but Damon refused.

With the assistance of Bonnie's grandmother, Grams, they managed to rescue Elena and Bonnie.

Grams and Bonnie agreed to open the tomb to rescue only Katherine.

However, upon entering the tomb, Damon, accompanied by a reluctant Elena, discovered that Katherine was not inside.

Anna also had arrived to rescue her mother and entered the tomb.

She fed Elena's blood to her mother. Hearing Elena's scream, Stefan rushed into the tomb to save her.

Together, they found Damon and decided to leave as the tomb was only temporarily open.

Grams had cast a spell that allowed only humans to exit the tomb, leaving the vampires trapped inside.

Elena pleaded with Grams to release them, and she eventually agreed, closing the tomb.

Once outside, Elena comforted Damon, who later confronted Anna and Pearl. He learned that Katherine had fled that night and didn't care about anyone but herself.

Bonnie's grandmother, Grams, passed away due to the strain of the magic. Bonnie was devastated by her loss.

After a few days, Damon returned to the site of the tomb, his heart heavy with the realisation that he had spent centuries searching for someone who didn't even care about him.

The rain poured down, masking his tears as he sat there, lost in his emotions.

Suddenly, he heard a hoarse but familiar voice amidst the downpour. "Hello? Can... Can you help me?"

Damon turned around, startled to see someone approaching through the rain.

"Damon?" The voice uttered his name, and Damon froze in shock as he recognized it.

"Estrella," Damon whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the rain.

FLASHBACK

Katherine raised her suspicion about Estrella not being compelled by her with Emily, who herself was a witch.

"How is it possible though?" Emily questioned.

"You have to find out more about her," Katherine urged.

"I'm just as clueless as you are." Emily says.

When Estrella once again confronted Katherine, now that she knew her true nature, she made it clear that she would protect her brothers at all costs.

"They're my priority, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means putting you second," she declared, her voice steady despite the tension in the air.

Katherine, sensing Estrella's resolve, grew wary. "Are you threatening me?" she demanded, her eyes darkening with anger.

Estrella simply shrugged, unfazed by Katherine's intimidation tactics. "I knew you were clever," she replied calmly. "Good."

Estrella observes Katherine, her gaze piercing and unwavering, questioning the motives behind her presence.

"Are you concealing something, or fleeing from someone?" Katherine's expression twisted in astonishment.

"What do you kn-?" Katherine stopped mid-sentence, taken aback. Estrella revealed she had overheard something from Ms. Pearl and Emily, piecing together the truth.

"So, it is true then?" Estrella's tone conveyed a mixture of sympathy and outrage.

"It's truly deplorable," Estrella continued, her voice tinged with indignation.
