Silver Linings: Awakening {A TVD Fanfic trilogy}

I heard Tyler speaking and I decided to head downstairs and check it out. "The point is they feel if they can get rid of all magic they'll break some lame-ass witch curse." Tyler explained as I came downstairs.

"Markos said they can't settle anywhere without evoking earthquakes or hell-fire, but they break that curse, and they just move right on into Mystic Falls." Damon replied and I realized they were talking about travelers.

"And come after Elena and me today, as in now." Stefan spoke as I crossed my arms worried.

"Oh, well. Markos had a good week or two in the land of the living. Now where is he so I can kill him?" Damon asked as I sighed lightly.

"No idea. They were moving camp when I got out." Tyler replied.

"Markos, the leader of a crazy traveler gang of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves. I don't think going to kill him is a good idea." I tried to talk Damon out of it.

"Well, I don't care. He needs to be gone. Our friend Luke here is an alleged genius at locator spells." Damon replied as I rolled my eyes.

"Travelers are always moving. They're impossible to track. They'll find Stefan and Elena long before we can find them." Luke explained.

"Well, what about one of those locator spell blocker deals? Is that simple enough for you?" Damon asked rudely.

"If both doppelgängers are in the same place, yeah." Luke shrugged looking at him.

"Perfect." Damon nodded and turned to Tyler. "You avoid the entire Czech language, figure out how to find Markos."

"How am I supposed to do that?" Tyler questioned unsure.

"Well, you have a Traveler inside of you. I mean, I have probably-misplaced faith that you'll figure it out." Damon replied. He turned to Stefan. "Meanwhile, you and I and our ex-girlfriend are gonna go on a little secret trip." He turned to me. "Maybe you can come too and make everything completely less awkward." He spoke sarcastically. I didn't realize that I still made things awkward for him.

"Sounds great." Stefan replied almost unsure. "Are you going?"

"I'd love to but no." I replied sarcastically. "I think I'm gonna help Tyler with the traveler business."

"Okay. Don't get into any trouble." He smiled lightly.

"You don't either." I replied with a smile.

The day went by and eventually Matt and Tyler decided on torturing his passenger out of information.

"I still don't agree." I looked at Tyler as they chained him to some pipes.

"We need answers. Besides I won't feel any of it. He'll be in me." Tyler explained but I started tapping my foot.

"I don't want to be a part of torturing you or someone in your body, whatever." I replied shaking my head.

"Don't worry Emma. After we get answers we will stop." Matt reassured as Jeremy walked in with a bottle.

"Half vervain, half wolfsbane." Jeremy spoke shaking the bottle.

"I can't do this. I'll be upstairs." I looked at Tyler. I hugged him lightly worried.

"I'll be okay Emma. I promise." He smiled reassuringly.

I heard the torturing and I couldn't stop listening. It was hurting to hear it. "Hey." I heard Bonnie as she walked in.

"Hey. I'm guessing you don't agree either." I smiled lightly to her.
