Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 58

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).

Stefan and Damon left Caroline and Elena at the ball under the pretense of going outside for a cigarette. Smoking wasn't allowed indoors, and although neither of them smoked, (although Damon had been known to indulge in the occasional cigar) it was as good as an excuse as any. Whitmore house was next door, so as long as they were hidden, they would be fine. However, first they needed to find Bonnie, Ric and Matt, who were all hiding out in Ric's new SUV out back. Ric opened the door once he saw them approach.

"You got everything?" Damon asked.

"Vervain grenades, vervain, gun with wooden bullets, gun with normal bullets, those mini stake wrist shooters. I think that's it." Ric replied.

Damon turned to Matt. "Are you up for this?" he asked. "I mean no offense, but you are going to be shooting humans. I don't want you chickening out on me." he said.

"You said aim for the legs and injure them only, then you'll heal and compel them." Matt replied. "They'll end up with damaged clothing and nothing more, so I think I can handle that." he nodded confidently.

"Okay." Damon replied wearily.

"Bon Bon." he turned to Bonnie as Stefan began to stock himself up with weapons. "Have you heard from Elena yet?" he asked.

Bonnie closed her eyes and focused for a moment, before opening them again. "She's just noticed Tyler." she replied.

"Yeah, I saw that." Stefan sighed. "She's probably gonna be a mess when we get back." he said.

"Well, right now that's not our problem." Damon said. "We get in, out and then you can deal with the Tyler situation." he smirked at Stefan.

"Gee thanks." Stefan rolled his eyes.

"Bon Bon here and I will be too busy keeping Enzo occupied." Damon shrugged. "Ergo you and Elena have the unwelcome task of consoling a bawling Blondie." he turned to Bonnie. "I think we've got the easier task." he smirked.

"Let's just get on with it." Bonnie sighed as they headed towards the back door of the house. " Dissera portus. " she whispered as the door to the house unlocked itself and opened.

"I love magic." Damon grinned as they climbed the steps and entered the house.

Damon led the way to the bottom of the stairs to allow him to get his bearings. He turned left into what looked like a parlor, then left again into what appeared to be a study. He walked over to a wall which was next to a bookcase and began to tap on it, giving a hollow sound until he found what he was looking for. He pushed a panel revealing a steel door with a key code to unlock it.

" Dissera portus ." Bonnie repeated the spell once more and with a loud click, the door opened revealing a darkened passageway. " In lumina ." she whispered as the lights in the passage lit up.

"Check to see if there are any cameras." Damon whispered to Bonnie, Stefan, Ric and Matt. "If so they need to be destroyed and evidence of who rescued Enzo wiped out." he said.

"I'm already on it." Stefan said as he disappeared at vamp-speed to look around the house for hidden cameras.

"Okay, so I'll go down and see if I can find Enzo." Damon explained. "When I give Bonnie the get go, then she'll give you directions." he said. "Depending on what I find will determine who goes down there. I'd be really surprised if it's only Enzo." he shrugged.
