Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 31

**(Long Chapter ahead)**

For the next week, Estrella remained by Caroline and Elena’s side, offering comfort over the devastating loss of Bonnie.

The grief weighed heavy on them all, but Estrella kept her emotions in check, determined to stay strong for her friends.

Meanwhile, Damon and Jeremy formulated a plan to bring Bonnie back, enlisting Silas, who desperately wanted to become mortal again.

Silas, in exchange, offered a chilling solution: he would kill Stefan to bring Bonnie back.

Estrella was immediately against it. "No," she said firmly, her voice edged with resolve. "We’ll find another way. We’re not sacrificing my brother."

But Damon, ever willing to cross lines for the people he loved, had his own secret agenda.

Without telling Estrella, he began repeatedly killing Stefan to restore Silas’s power, hoping it would compel Qetsiyah—now going by Tessa—to reveal the location of the elusive marker that would lead to Bonnie’s resurrection.

But Tessa didn’t know where the marker was; the Travelers kept it hidden, constantly on the move.

Tessa, however, had her own quest. She sought an ancient amulet to boost her powers.

Despite Damon’s reckless attempts, Stefan kept coming back to life, and in a twist, it was Damon who eventually saved Tessa from Silas.

Their confrontation escalated when Tessa ripped out Silas’s heart—yet, even without it, Silas still couldn’t die.

Returning to Mystic Falls, Estrella crossed paths with Silas.

She immediately tried to stop him with her magic, but before she could succeed, Damon and Elena arrived—bringing Katherine, who still carried the cure within her bloodstream, to Silas.

Estrella’s protests went unheard as they moved forward with their plan.

Damon held her back as Silas fed on Katherine, draining the cure from her and restoring his mortality.

Katherine, weakened but still alive, collapsed as Silas’s eyes gleamed with renewed strength.

A wicked smirk spread across his face as he felt his magic fully return.

With a mere flick of his hand, flames erupted in his hands, casting shadows on the walls.

Estrella and the others stared, wide-eyed.

"Greetings!" Silas grinned. "Good morning, frenemies! Traitor cousin." He sauntered around the room, pulling back the curtains with a lazy wave of his hand, basking in the sunlight.

Suddenly, Estrella let out a scream, collapsing to her knees as pain seared through her body.

Damon rushed to her side, but Silas lifted a hand, halting him in place.

"Ah, ah, ah. I wouldn’t if I were you," Silas sneered, his eyes flicking toward Elena. "Or else..."

He turned his gaze back to Estrella, a sinister smile curling his lips.

"This is for abandoning me, dear sister. This is for siding with her," he snarled, waving his hand once more.

But this time, it had no effect.

Estrella’s eyes blazed with anger as she raised her own hand, blocking Silas's magic effortlessly.

In a swift motion, she flicked her wrist and sent Silas flying backward, slamming him hard against the wall.
