Now in the present, Estrella stepped outside, the cool morning air brushing against her skin.

She closed her eyes and focused on the coordinates Lexi had given her, centering herself as her magic began to build.

With a slow, practiced motion, she waved her hand in a smooth circle, summoning her magic.

A red shimmer appeared before her, growing into a swirling portal.

Without hesitation, Estrella jumped through, her heart pounding as she prepared for whatever chaos awaited on the other side.

"Ella, quick!" Lexi's voice broke through the disorienting moment of the portal jump.

Lexi was standing a few feet away, relief etched into her face.

Without wasting a second, the two embraced briefly before rushing toward Bonnie's house.

As they neared, Estrella's stomach churned.

Her heart sank as she realized the nightmare she'd had was now unfolding before her eyes.

Stefan threw a piece of the fence with reckless force, the sharp edge striking Olivia squarely in the stomach.

She gasped in pain, letting out a scream that echoed through the air.

Without hesitation, Lexi rushed beside Olivia, quickly giving her vampire blood to heal the injury.

Meanwhile, Enzo rushed toward Stefan, determined to intervene.

A fierce struggle ensued as the two engaged in a brutal fight, exchanging blows and grappling with one another.

In a sudden turn, Stefan's hand tightened around Enzo's heart, a chilling grip that left Enzo choking.

She heard Bonnie scream, and a surge of energy radiated from her body, followed by a deafening sound that resembled an explosion.

Estrella, however, froze in place.

She had dreamt of this exact moment- Enzo was on the verge of death, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness that threatened to engulf her.

For a second, time seemed to stand still. The images of her dream and reality overlapped until she snapped back into the present.

Her magic surged. She moved swiftly, her voice steady yet commanding, "Stop, Stefan."

Her hands glowed with red magic as she reached into his mind, controlling his every movement.

The air hummed with her power, her eyes glowing an intense crimson as she pushed her will into his mind.

"It's over. Remove your hand, slowly. Let him go," she whispered, her voice a calm command.

Stefan's movements became sluggish, his body responding to her magical control.

His hands slowly released Enzo, who gasped as the threat of death slipped away.

Stefan, still under her control, turned to face her.

Recognition flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, his humanity snapped back on as he laid eyes on his sister.

He looked at her with disbelief, his voice barely above a whisper, "Estrella..."

Before Lexi could act, Bonnie intervened, attacking quickly to inject Stefan with Elena's blood.

Within moments, he crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

"No, Stefan," Lexi kneeled down, "What did you do, Bonnie?"
