Light Me Up

Chapter 13 : Last Moments

Enzo's POV

Damon and I stood outside of his car on a road somewhere in Pennsylvania. He was calling Rayna for another clue.

"Voicemail again!" He exclaimed angered

I sighed, annoyed. We'd gotten her voicemail 3 times already. He tried again and she finally picked up.

"What?" She yelled, annoyed

"Got your voicemail four times" He scoffed "You know, we are literally at a crossroads here. We could use a couple of bread crumbs."

"Would you prefer I left Bonnie passed out on the bathroom floor?" She asked, angrily

Concern flood through my mind and suddenly all other thoughts disappeared

"What? is she alright?" I asked, concerned

"No" Rayna answered "She took my blood to hide herself from any locator spells."

The concern I had immediately turned to anger 

"Put her on!" I demanded, snatching the phone from Damon

"Hey" Bonnie said, quietly

Hey? Really that was all she could say? She was poisoning herself and she answers me with a hey. 

"Have you lost your damn mind?" I exclaimed

"We spent three years hiding" She explained "I can't let them find me"

"What and poisoning yourself is the better option?" I spat "You just shortened the already minuscule window of time we have"

I sigh and take a breath, pulling myself together. She was already hurting, no need to make her feel worse by yelling at her. 

"We're so close" I tell her

"No you're not" She replies "You're no where near done. I'm staring at a floor covered in names"

"And I will kill every last one of them" I say determined, turning back towards Damon who nods in agreement. I stay silent lost at what to do right now in this position. 

"Just come home" Bonnie whispers after a moment

"What?" I ask, confused

"I don't want our last moments to be like this. You a million miles away, connected only by some crappy cell phone signal" She said "Whatever time I have left, I wanna spend it with you. Here. So just come home."

She hung up the phone before I could say anything. I scoff, saddened by her words. I don't know how to process what she said. I held back the tears and scream in frustration. Angry at her for giving up and me for putting her in this position. I wanted to be there with her but I couldn't give up. I couldn't just let her die. I loved her. These can't be our last moments. 

"I know where you are right now. I've been there for three years" Damon starts

I exhale deeply, a bit annoyed to just hear him talking.

"You can't drink your way out of it, you chat fight your way out of it, you can't kill your way out of it" He continued "Trust me I tried"
