Silver Linings: Awakening {A TVD Fanfic trilogy}

We managed to carry his body inside the dorm room. Caroline cried next to him as I stared at the fire hugging my knees. I cried to myself for a while. I heard footsteps coming in. I didn't bother to look. I didn't really care at this point.

I heard them moving Stefan's body. I noticed it was Damon and Elena that came in. I turned back around and cried more.

"Emma. We are gonna go try and find a way to save the people on the other side." Elena said as she put her hand on my shoulder. "You can come if you want."

"No." I squeaked out. "I'll stay here with Bonnie." I replied looking at the fire.

"We'll get him back." Elena reassured but I wasn't sure if I believed it. She walked away and I stayed there for a while thinking.

The more I looked at the flames the angrier I got. I stared at them and all the sudden they grew, surrounding the fireplace and even managed to come out of it. I watched, in a trance before realizing what was happening. I backed up and took a breath and the fire went back to normal.

"What the hell?" I asked confused. I realized sitting here must've made me hallucinate or something. I realized that I needed to do something to help. If Stefan was coming back that meant dad was coming back. I had to make sure I got both of them which meant not sitting here doing nothing.

I found Bonnie and she was walking out. "Hey I'm coming with you." I told her as we started heading out.

"Stefan." She spoke as she stopped. I looked forward as if I could see him, but nothing was there. "Oh my god. Silas." She breathed. "You killed my dad."

"Hey Bonnie do you know how to punch a ghost?" I asked looking forward. She watched the ghost come forward but I saw no one. I assumed he was talking to her. "He's our only hope isn't he?" I asked agitated.

"He might be." She replied. We got to the cemetery and waited. Bonnie repeated words but she kept stopping.

"He's cutting you off isn't he?" I asked looking at Bonnie. "God I wish I could punch ghosts." I leaned back against the wall.

Elena came in with Liv. "Did you find a traveler who can get us out of here?" Elena asked coming in.

"Yep. Doing the spell as we speak." Bonnie replied. "I'd introduce you but um-"

"Thank you. Whoever you are." Elena spoke loudly.

"Moody old lady. Kind of senile." She looked at me and I shook my head looking away. Of course if she knew who it was she wouldn't let it happen.

"Okay well I'm gonna go find Damon." Elena replied before leaving. Liv started learning the spell.

I took a breath as Bonnie went back to doing the spell. I got up and walked to my dad's grave. "We are gonna get you back soon dad. That is if you are still over there." I put my hand against the grave. "Not to be selfish but I'd really like it if you didn't find peace and are coming back." I smiled lightly. "I wonder if I got that trait from you." I rubbed my hand against the letters. I sat there waiting for a long time. The sun was starting to go down and I stood up.

I walked over to Bonnie who was standing by her family's graves. "You ready?" I asked looking at her.

"I will be soon." She replied.

"Thank you Bonnie." I nodded to her. "You're really one of the best people I know." I told her while we waited.

Meanwhile...

"Look who it is." Lexi spoke as she looked to Emma who leaned against a tree next to Bonnie.

"Why are you messing with me?" Stefan asked shaking his head at her.
