DORIAN'S POV

„I know it can kill me, but I don't want to live in this world without her.“ I kept myself from shouting, but I couldn't keep my frustration from boiling over my voice. „So just show me what I need to do to get to where her is and I will take it from there.“

„Why do you want her back?“ Saphrinne asked me.

„Isn't it obvious? Because I love her.“

She was studying me with a considering expression.

„Wait. The whole point of him going to the Purgatory is so that he can show her the way and then she will be able to come back to her body?“ Damon said.

„She can still choose to return.“

„What if... she can't bring Klaus back so she... want to stay there with him?“ Thea asked with a little hesitation.

„I‘d die to get her back. No matter what.“

„Lets just say that you love her enough to die but what is she no longer loves you in return?“ Damon asked me with his typical smirk on his face.

Thankfully, my sister‘s big mouth saved me.

„Is Ali didn‘t want to be with him, it would suck. But it doesn‘t matter right now. And what are you even doing here?!“

I was waiting for Damon‘s answer, but he laughed.

„Why do you care so much about what he might or might not to do?“

They shared a long look but to my surprise, she doesn‘t have an answer for that.

„Okay, so since you don‘t have any other questions, we can start.“ Saphrinne said and I automatically turn my attention to her.

„We need sacrifice.“ she said.

„What sacrifice do you mean?“ Thea asked worriedly to me.

„Sacrifice is okay with me. Tell me what or who...“ I shot a sideways glance on Damon, „I need to grab and use for the sacrifice and I will do it.“

„It will be you that'll be the sacrifice, Dorian.“ Saphrinne said.

„All right, good. Let's get this thing gone.“ I knelt beside Ali's body, ignoring the fact that everyone in the room was watching me, I kissed her gently. „I'm coming for you.“

„Wait, wait!“ Thea said.

„Thea, seriously, now is not the time.“

„Oh, for God's sake! What if it won't work?“

„Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.“

„But...“

„Thea, she doesn't have much time!“ I yelled at her.

„Alright.“ she sighed.

I lay on the floor, next to the couch where was Ali's body.

„I will be taking you to the Purgatory, you need to be trusting me to take you there.“ Saphrinne said, looking down at me.

„I trust you.“

And I did. There was always something about her and trusting her felt like the right thing to do.

She started to performing the ritual and the darkness became deeper and thicker. Just few inches behind Saphrinne I could see nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I stared into this dark place, imagining forms hiding there. Someone or something could be there and that scared me.

My irrational fear pushed at me, which pissed me off and I made my to push back. I took one step into the darkness. And then another and another...

The dark swallowed me.

I knew I was only couple of minutes from Ali, I could still hear Saphrinne but my mind wasn't there.

My heart, my spirit, every part of my body was screaming for me run, to get away. I felt the pressure, my breath was coming faster and faster but I couldn't stop myself.

I have to go there, I have to save her. Nothing else matters.

Then I was falling and falling and …

***

Someone slapped me. The slap burned against my cheek and I sucked in a big breath that cleared the last of the darkness from my mind.

I opened my eyes, expecting Ali, but she wasn't there.

„Do you remember where are you and who are you?“ Thea said.

My mind was too slow to function, still screaming on me from the other side. „No!“ I cried with so much emotion that Thea automatically moved away from me.

„Are you with us? Are you feeling sick?“ Saphrinne asked, looking upset.

„What the hell happened?!“ I asked. „Why am I still here with you? I am supposed to be with Ali!“

„I didn't work, I am sorry.“

They all stared at me. I cleared my throat. „But why? Did I do something wrong?“

„No, it's not your fault.“ she hesitated. „At least I don't think so.“

„Then what's the problem?!“

„I think you that you are not the right person for Ali.“

„What do you mean? You said that only true love can save her, only one person can convince her to come back, someone who loves her more than anything. And that's me!“

„Dorian, I said that it must be someone who she loves with her whole heart.“

„I love her but she doesn't love me back?“

I looked at them and I realized I wasn't able to face it anymore.

„Dorian?“ Thea asked me softly.

„So what are we going to do?“ I breathed a long sigh.

„I think we should try it again.“ Saphrinne said.

„But you said that...“

„Not with you, Dorian.“

I was worried about her tone of voice, she looked nervous and uncomfortable, like she was trying too hard to be gentle.

I could sense that Thea and Damon, as well as me, watching her with curiosity mixed in with our confusion but I kept focused on Saphrinne.

„Damon.“
