Chapter 51:
Anna pushes Elena down on the ground, across Pearl's lap, and holds Elena's wrist up to her mouth. Elena struggles, but Pearl, smelling the blood, begins to drink.
Elena: No, please don't!
Anna: (to Pearl) I'm gonna get you out.
Stefan runs in.
Stefan: Let her go!
Stefan grabs Anna and pushes her aside.
Anna: No!
Stefan grabs Elena and pulls her up, pushing her towards the exit.
Stefan: Go. Go. I'm right behind you.
Stefan blocks Anna from chasing down Elena.
Pearl: Anna.
Anna rushes to her mother's side, caressing her face in her hands and crying happily.
Pearl: Annabelle.
Giselle, Bonnie and Sheila are looking through the grimoire when Elena exits the tomb.
Giselle: Elena, Stefan...
Elena: He's right behind me.
Giselle, Bonnie and Sheila look at the entrance to the tomb. Elena turns around and sees Stefan standing in the doorway. Elena walks up to him, worried.
Elena: Stefan, what are you doing?
Bonnie: It's gonna be okay. We'll fix it.
Elena: What is it?
Stefan: I can't.
Elena: Can't? Can't what?
Bonnie: The spell's still up. We can't get them out yet.
Elena: You went in there not knowing if you could come back out?
Stefan looks down, not answering.
Elena: Oh, my God.
Stefan: I heard you scream.
Elena: We can't leave him in there. We promised him. Both of us.
Stefan: I know.
Grams: Even if we're able to break through the seal, we won't be able to hold it for long.
Stefan goes back into the tomb to find Damon.
Damon is still searching the tomb for Katherine. Frustrated, he kicks the dirt on the floor.
Damon: She's not here.
Stefan walks up to Damon.
Stefan: Damon.
Damon: She's not here.
Stefan: What?
Damon pulls out the blood bag.
Damon: She's not here!
Damon throws the blood bag at the wall. The blood splatters across it. Damon looks at Stefan with anguish.
Giselle, Sheila and Bonnie are reciting the spell to lift the seal as Elena circles around them. The torches flare up and Elena looks towards the tomb.
Elena: I think it's working.
Anna exits the tomb with Pearl, who is still weak.
Anna: I just wanted my mother back. Jeremy's fine. He's outside. I won't touch him.
Anna and Pearl leave. The torches begin to falter.
Grams: Bonnie, Giselle keep going! (to Elena) They better hurry.
Elena: Stefan, they can't hold it much longer!
The torches extinguish themselves. Bonnie looks faint and Sheila doesn't look much better. Giselle noise was bleeding a little but looks like she was gonna past out. Elena runs back into the tomb.
Stefan: Damon, we need to get out of here.
Damon: It doesn't make sense. They locked her inside.
Stefan: If we don't leave now, we're not getting out.
Damon: How could she not be in here?
Stefan: It's not worth spending all of eternity down here. She's not worth it!
Damon: No!
