Out Of Words


Lily Salvatore is alive - and news travels fast. The Originals want her back, and Damon Salvatore has been captured to serve that very purpose. Bonnie, Elena, Stefan and Caroline, along with an unwilling Kai will do whatever it takes to get him back, but there is no denying the obvious relationship change between Damon and Bonnie; and Elena doesn't take too long to notice it. (Bamon/Elekai/Steroline)


"Damon!" Bonnie ran towards the source of bright light.

"Bonnie, stop! It's not the right time!" Elena shouted from behind.

Suddenly, there was a loud shriek, and the white light disappeared. All that remained was Damon's daylight ring.

"No, no, no, no.. This isn't happening!" Elena shouted as she reached the ruined area.

"He's long gone, whoops," Kai spoke from behind, earning a glare from Bonnie. "Sorry, insensitive."

He was gone, and she was going crazy. The Originals had taken him away with them for some reason she couldn't think of.

"Listen.. Let's go to the Salvatore house and we'll talk about this later. You need rest," Bonnie let out her hand for Elena to take.

Elena barely nodded and got up, taking Bonnie's hand.

"I can.. get him back, you know," Kai muttered, his newfound emotions taking over.

"You can?" Elena immediately shifted all of her attention to Kai.

"Yeah, I mean.. I'll need time but I guess I can. I think I know what ritual Klaus is trying to complete," he said determined. "I know my way around this stuff, okay?" he added when he noticed Elena looking at him suspiciously.

She nodded, and they all were off to the Salvatore house.


Everything was blurry at first; his head, his vision, everything. Then he remembered.

Klaus.. Rebekah.. Ritual..

Then it clicked.

He instantly shot up from the mattress he was laying on, and checked for every possible way to escape.

The door was an obvious no; he could hear a heartbeat and he was sure it was a guard Klaus had kept to watch over him.

The window it was.

He opened up the blinds, only to fall back instantly.

His ring. It was gone.


"Are Caroline and Stefan coming?" Bonnie asked and Elena nodded.

They were sitting in the Salvatore living room, neither of them uttering a word.

"Oookay, so," Kai broke the silence, "they have him at New Orleans." He had successfully pulled off the locator spell on Damon.

"Okay. Let's pack our bags then. We're leaving tomorrow morning."

"I'm not coming with you! I have a life," Kai rolled his eyes, "also, follow me on Twitter. My username is cobrakai1972."

Elena ignored his previous proposal, "you have to come Kai. You're the most powerful witch we know."

"That- is very true. I am megapowerful," Kai got up from the sofa and took Elena's phone.

"What are you doing with my phone?"

"There. Followed me on Twitter," he paused for a second before handing her back her phone. "God, you don't even tweet anything. Ooh Damon is on twitter too," he tapped some keys, "never mind. He never tweets either. God, you're all so technologically backward."

There was a noise in the background, later explained by Caroline and Stefan entering the house together.

"We're here, did you get anything?" Stefan said breathily, as he removed his jacket.

"They're at New Orleans. We're leaving early morning so start packing."

"Wait, is that his daylight ring?" Caroline walked towards the coffee table, "there is no way he's getting out in the day now."

"Unless he sets the guards on fire or something. Remember crazy pants?" Kai looked at Elena and she shook her head, yet smiled.

"Okay, so, what's the plan?" Stefan asked.

"Well, we go there, we meet the Originals, and we ask for negotiation," Bonnie replied calmly.

"And if they don't want to negotiate?"

"Then we kill their right hand; she's a Gemini witch. They can't afford losing her." Kai grinned smugly, obviously proud of the power he holds.

"Perfect. I'll go pack my bag," Stefan said contently, as he walked towards his room.

"Wait! Are we all staying at the Salvatore house tonight?" Caroline called out, making everyone think.

"I think that's the best option here," Bonnie nodded and everyone agreed.


"Does this look like a bloody joke to you?" Klaus stressed, painfully pacing back and forth in the opulent room.

"I have no role in this, you must understand," the lady said nervously, "it's about the full moon! We need a proper werewolf, not a hybrid."

"And your point is?" Rebekah asked with her eyebrow raised.

"That we will have to wait for the full moon. Werewolves can't turn otherwise—we can not use hybrids!" the lady said with more stress, exhausted.

"Alright then," Rebekah sighed, turning over towards Klaus, "and how exactly, are we to keep the Salvatore in place until then?"

"We shall have to negotiate, I suppose," Klaus said. "We need either of the Salvatore brothers if we want to bring Lily Salvatore back.. it is our only hope."


"Move your suitcase! My bags are going to get dirty," Kai frowed at Elena, and hit his suitcase with hers.

"What are you, twelve?" she rolled her eyes and shifted her suitcase.

"Okay, there's the immigration section," Bonnie pointed towards the Immigration part of the Airport, and dragged all her suitcases and bags as fast as she could.

It was all too noticeable recently – Bonnie's desperation to look for Damon. It confused Elena, not in a jealous way, but a clueless one. Last time she checked, Bonnie couldn't stand Damon's guts? What had happened now?

"Your passports please?" the attendant asked them, checking over their paperwork, and shifted her gaze over to Stefan and Caroline, "are you with a child?"

"We.. Are not married," Stefan said, looking sideways, avoiding Caroline's gaze.

"My bad, sorry, sir," she said and continued inspecting their passports, and loaded their luggage to the compartment.

"Alright, sir, sign here and.." she put a stamp on two passes and continued, "here are your boarding passes. Have a safe flight."

They drifted to the check-in section, and completed all the formalities as soon as they could.

Finally, after good forty minutes, they were seated in an airport restaurant, too frustrated or tired to speak.

However..

"When will the food come?" Kai whined, hungry after all the moving around. "Honestly, after 18 years I thought the services would've improved- but no! It still takes the same amount of time for them to get some mac and cheese," he frowned and started tapping the table.

"I don't know Kai," Elena huffed, "do you never stop talking?"

"Says you. You're the one who was complaining about the flight being postponed. That's why I'm hungry, if the flight was earlier, I'd have eaten in the flight by now. And I'd be sleeping," Kai ranted, and Elena simply shook her head.

"The food's ready, sorry for the delay," the waiter came and placed their food on the table.

Kai immediately started eating what he'd ordered, and finished it in an inhumane time span.

"Can I have some of that?" he pointed towards Bonnie's latte, as he had no drink of his own.

"Just leave me alone, Kai," she declined rudely, making Elena frown due to the strange behavior she had been sporting recently.

What happened to her?


NOTE: Elena has not accepted Damon into a relationship yet, as she doesn't have all the epic memories they had, etc.
