Bonnie didn't immediately do as Damon asked of her until Jeremy had picked her up at the boarding house for the dance.

After the girls found their outfits for the decade dance, they took their time and enjoyed getting ready together. Stefan gave them their much needed girl time while he checked on Alaric; he'd get his time with Elena at the dance. While Elena was using Stefan's bathroom to change, Bonnie had gotten the call from Damon. They kept it short but once it ended, Bonnie then texted Jeremy about picking her up at the boarding house earlier than expected since she needed to run an errand before the dance. He agreed.

When Elena reappeared, Bonnie made the excuse of needing to grab something at home before the dance so they hurried to finish getting her ready. Despite the rush, both girls looked spectacular by the time the doorbell rang. Stefan managed to answer the door on his way up only to have Bonnie rush out of it moments later. Elena laughed at her friend's eagerness; she would have left with them but Stefan still had to change.

Even now as they trekked through the woods to the tomb, Jeremy was still wary of Bonnie's need to visit the decrepit place, especially before the dance. He'd much rather be at the dance he didn't want to go to than at the tomb, especially when the darkness was slowly consuming the sky.

"Why did you need to go to the tomb before the dance?" Jeremy questioned while Bonnie led him through the woods, their hands intertwined. "Can't you do this later...like tomorrow?"

Bonnie shook her head yet her eyes remained on the ground as she watched her step. "Damon needs it done before nightfall."

"Needs what done exactly?" He asked a little worriedly. Ever since he found out that Bonnie's powers could very well kill her, he's been wary about her using them. He just couldn't lose her too...he's lost too many people already.

"I need to reseal the tomb. He plans on using it tonight." She explained as they approached the remains of Fell's Church. Bonnie didn't hesitate in her trek to the stairs that led to the tomb but when she stumbled for a moment, Jeremy quickly moved to support her balance. She gave him a grateful smile as they made their way down the stairs.

"Who does he want to throw in the tomb?" Jeremy asked once both their feet were firmly on the ground again. He was a little less on edge since sealing the tomb didn't take as much power as unsealing it.

Bonnie used her powers to light the torches around the entrance before she approached the tomb's door. "He didn't say but he made it very clear that the tomb needed to be sealed again." She stated while staring at the door. She could sense no magic or any other presence in or around the tomb. They were alone down there.

Jeremy gave his girlfriend an incredulous look. "And that's it? You didn't ask for any more information?" He was sure that if anyone asked her to do magic, especially Damon, that she would ask questions about everything involved with what she needed to do. He was surprised that she hadn't.

Bonnie sighed as she turned to face Jeremy; she understood why he was surprised. "I couldn't with Elena in the other room Jer. Besides, Damon said he'd call me after he was done with whatever so that I could double check to make sure the seal was set." She elaborated before she turned her back on him, signifying that the conversation was over for the moment.

Jeremy remained silent as he watched Bonnie start chanting in that witchy language he knew nothing about. He was still amazed that she could remember such long chants, let alone in another language. It truly was impressive stuff.

After a bit more chanting, the torch flames suddenly grew in size before they diminished, leaving a light glow in the cavern.

"It's done." She declared before she turned to smile at him.
