Maggie's POV

I had my knees up to my chest while I was on the couch. After what happened Damon took the book while Stefan brought me downstairs and had put a bandage around my arm to stop the bleeding. I was terrified, was it Rosalie who was speaking to me?

But I knew Rosalie wanted me dead, this had to be someone else, someone who wanted me to obey them. I sat near the fire while I heard a knock on the door. I could hear Stefan and Damon walking over to open the door. Once they did I turned to see who it was. It was a woman with black hair and tanned skin, I didn't recognize her at all.

"Stefan, why don't you take Maggie to the grill for the evening" Damon still looking at the women while Stefan stood beside him.

"No. She deserves to know what's going on tonight" Stefan said while I stood up.

"What's going on tonight?" I asked and crossed my arms. "And who is she?"

The lady smiled and laughed a bit. "I'm Tessa, you might know my ex-Silas" She said tilting her head.

"Tessa is a very powerful witch and she is here to..... do us a favor" Damon hesitating at his answer.

"A big favor might I add" Tessa says while she walks into the house.

I raise my eyebrows at Stefan and Damon waiting for one of them to tell me what's going on. But they just give each other nervous looks. While Tessa sighs.

"So where's Amara?" She asked making my eyebrows knit together.

"Who's Amara?" I ask.

"Wow, you should really update her" Tessa says rolling her eyes. "Well I'm going to prepare and we just have to wait till Katherine get here" She added.

"Amara is down in the basement" Stefan added while Tessa nodded. Tessa strolled down the hall and in to another room. I still stood with my arms crossed.

"Ok is one of you going to be what the hell is going on?" I said while Damon and Stefan exchanged looks to each other. "And who the hell is Amara?" I added. I could feel the rage inside of me build up, but I knew I had to stay calm or I would end up hurting them. Both of them stayed quiet.

"Stefan?" I said, but I could he was avoiding eye contact. "You promised me" I said while his eyes finally met mine. "You promised me, that you wouldn't lie to me anymore" I could see the guilt on his face. then he slightly shook his head and walked off leaving Damon and I alone in the hallway. I was surprised that Stefan didn't sit me down and just tell me what's going on. I was about to walk after Stefan when Damon grabbed my arm.

"Leave him" He said. "He's..... going through stuff" Damon added tilting his head to the side.

"What do you mean? What stuff?" I asked.

"The night your mom died, Stefan was getting rid of body of Silas's body in Quarry.." Damon explained but I interrupted him. "Yes Damon, I already know about Stefan and the safe"

"Yeah but you don't get Maggie, think of all the pain he went through dying over and over. He could have flipped the switch if he wanted to make all the pain go away but he didn't, because he knew he wouldn't be able to turn it back on. So he suffered, while all of his friends had a pain-free summer. Then he is finally saved, but by someone he didn't even know"
