Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 34

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Warning smutty chapter ahead.

Two days later, a meeting had been called at the Salvatore boarding house to compare notes. The delay in the meeting was for Damon and Elena to drive back from Willoughby, via New York for Damon to pay another visit to the witch and for Elena to buy a prom dress for the looming prom which was only three weeks away. Matt and Jeremy were both working a shift at the Grill, although their presence wasn't essential, which left a slightly depleted group gathered in the parlor. Damon,Elena, Stefan, Caroline, Rebekah and now Bonnie was allowed to join as she was now free from Silas's brainwashing, were all gathered around the fireplace telling the group how their research had gone. Caroline had already told the group of what Silas had done to Klaus and how she'd ended up completing the third massacre. Rebekah was the next up to give her tale to the group as Bonnie was taking notes.

"Matt and I went to New Orleans where we met with a witch who came from a coven of witches called the Travelers." she told the group who all nodded as they knew some parts of the story already. "She was terrified they were following her because they don't want the prophesy to be fulfilled." she said.

"Why?" Stefan asked.

"Apparently, Silas's current power to change faces and get into people's heads is because he is drawing magic from some magical bloodlines." Rebekah told the group. "I'm guessing this magic must have come from witches within the coven, because once Silas lowers the veil and dies, the coven will get their magic back and be powerful once again." she told them.

"So they want to let Silas lower the veil just to get their magic back?" Bonnie asked as Rebekah nodded.

"These bloodlines are known as shadow-selves. According to our witch, the key players are all in place and the Travelers have placed a temporary spell on them to make them indestructible." Rebekah said. "So they can't be killed until Silas gives them their magic back. If he lowers the veil and dies, the prophesy will remain unfulfilled and the curse will continue forever." she finished.

"The curse of Qetsiyah seeing Amara and Silas fall in love over and over again." Bonnie chimed in as everyone except Damon and Elena looked at her puzzled. "Shane told me about it on the island." she shrugged.

"That brings us around to what we know." Damon stood up in front of the fireplace.

"Um...Excuse me." Rebekah argued back. "I haven't quite finished." she said putting her hands on her hips as Damon rolled his eyes.

"Go on then." Damon sighed. "Tell us all what we already know."

"As I said, the shadow-selves are indestructible." Rebekah told them. "So killing them won't end the bloodlines. Apparently the only way to do that is for the messenger to see Qetsiyah on the other side." Rebekah smirked at Bonnie.

"I already got that part." Bonnie smiled back. "I'm the messenger as I'm the one who opened the tomb, meaning I've got to have a chat with Qetsiyah. And yes, I'm almost ready." she added smugly as Rebekah's face fell. "Did you get the tombstone?" Bonnie asked looking between Damon and Elena.

"Yeah we got it." Elena smiled back at Bonnie.

"You done?" Damon asked as Rebekah sat down. "Did you even get the prophesy?" he asked knowing the answer as Rebekah shook her head sheepishly. "Well it's a good job I did." he grinned smugly, getting up and handing a piece of paper to Bonnie. "What do you make of this?" Damon asked Bonnie who read what it said to herself frowning.
