THE CROW AND THE BUTTERFLY.

Chapter 1.

Havoc erupted inside Mystic Grill as the flames constantly danced on the stage and tables. As for the warlock, Jonas, he was slowly dying. Damon had furiously bitten at his neck. Jonas coughed and sputtered blood as he lay on the on hard cold flooring.

Bonnie knelt next to the warlock. She wished this did not happen but her friend Elena needed her protection. She begged Jonas one more time on how to defeat Klaus. He was a powerful original, worst than Elijah, with a sadistic attitude and charming appearance.

The warlock still had some life left in him. He would help the young witch. In his hands, he held a folded piece of paper and a picture.

"All will be lost without her." Jonas spoke his last words.

At the Salvatore Boarding House, Bonnie told Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline and Alaric, the exact words the warlock had told her.

"She looks a bit young." Alaric squinted his eyes as he tried to make the girl in the picture appear older. "Fifteen… sixteen."

"Young or old, Alaric, she has to help us defeat Klaus." Bonnie re-read the letter in her hands. "It says here… that she's a Salem witch… just like me."

Elena took the photo out from Alaric's hand. "She does look a bit young." She showed it to Caroline who was seated on her left.

Caroline looked at it carefully. "That's an old photo." she stated. "See… this was taken in the year 2005."

Damon and Stefan are still pacing on the floor. A decision has yet to be made. Damon does not care who helps as long as they help them. He does not mind if a lady in a wheelchair had the power to kill Klaus. Stefan had different thoughts, always the one with willing victim. He did not need anyone else to become a prey.

"Here's the deal brother." Damon instructed Stefan. "We will go to where the girl lives and explain everything to her."

Stefan, Caroline and Alaric simultaneously raised their right eyebrow at Damon while Elena just shaked her head at him.

"Jenna needs me here." replied Alaric

"My mum is the sheriff, Damon!" Caroline glared at the older vampire.

Damon already knew Stefan's answer. He would never leave Elena behind. Elijah. Even if he was the most civilized vampire, he was extremely dangerous. Stefan was not taking any chances of Elena being alone with Elijah.

In the end, the decision was made. Only Damon would leave Mystic Falls and meet the girl.

"Bonnie…?"

"Already on it." She cleared the dining table before she rested a huge map on top. She would perform a location spell.

In Damon's hand, he held the picture. Written in an elegant script was the name Isabella Marie Swan.
