I gently laid Bonnie's head on the ground and shot up, picking Theo out of Stefan's arms. I held his head against my chest as he screamed, "Shh, shh, it's okay, Theo!"

I suddenly got a sharp pain in my head and pressed my free hand against my ear to block the ringing noise, "What is happening?"

"There's a bell, if it rings twelve times by a Donovan it's going to bring hellfire through Mystic Falls, destroying everything." Stefan rushed.

"But why is it hurting mine and Theo's heads?" I asked, scrunching my face up.

"The bell was suppose to kill sirens -- "

I interupted him, " -- sirens? We aren't sirens, Stefan."

"And psychics." He said. I glared at him as if to say we weren't that either, "Maybe, it's because you're both siphoners? I don't know, but you have to get out of here before it kills you."

I looked down to the Bennett witch on the floor, "But Bonnie..."

Stefan grabbed my arm, turning me back around, "I'll get Caroline, you need to go, Cassie. Please. Now."

I nodded and wrapped my arm around him, pulling him into a hug, "Stay safe, Stefan. All of you."

I pulled away as he nodded, "You too. It was good to see you again."

"I won't be gone long. I won't let Katherine win, Stefan." I told him, "Stay safe, I love you."

A small smile stretched onto his lips, "I love you too. Now, go."

I didn't hesitate at his words and vamp ran, holding Theo close to me. I ran to the front of the Lockwood mansion to our car. I placed a stressed and crying Theo in his car seat and quickly got in the drivers seat. I drove off as fast as I could towards the border of Mystic Falls.

"Katherine showed up. She pretended to be Elena and now she's hidden her body and we can't find her." Stefan said through the phone, "She's not in the house. Damon's checking the grounds and the cemetery."

"Have you tried the high school?" I asked.

"That's my next stop." Stefan said, "Are you and Theo okay?"

I turned around, looking through the window at Theo, who was asleep in his carseat, "Yeah. He was crying for a while when the pain stopped, but it's tired him out. He's just a kid. He shouldn't have these kind of problems."

"I know. I'm sorry, Cass." He replied, "Where are you?"

"Outside the Armory." I told him, "Alaric said you told him about us and he called me and told me to come here."

"He, the girls and Bonnie are coming to you. They should be there soon." Stefan said.

"Okay. I'll talk to you soon." I replied.

I ended the call and put my phone in my pocket. I opened the back door of the car and took Theo from his seat, careful not to wake up. I placed him on my hip, his head resting on my chest. I shut the door.
