**I disclaim everything! I'll let you know as soon as I own TVD :)
Bonnie and her friends all watched as Silas rose up; he truly looked like Death. It was like watching a horror film, gruesome and terrible, but you still have to watch. He was clothed like the Grim Reaper and his skin was gray. Where there should have been eyes there was nothing; just empty sockets of black. Bonnie Bennett had never felt more terrified, which was saying a lot considering the amount of time she spent around vampires and the amount of magic she currently possessed.
Looking at Silas was like walking through Hell, or at least that's how she imagined it would be. She felt a burning rage radiating off of him, and everything felt hopeless, as though her future was like his eyes: a meaningless void. She was temporarily paralyzed in fear.
"At last," Shane smiled. His smile was usually charming, but not this one. This smile made him look like the creepy, insane person who had convinced Pastor Young to kill twelve people.
"Bonnie, do something!" shouted Damon, "Make him go back into the ground!"
Bonnie snapped out of her paralysis, tossed the purple vial to Elena, looked back in her grimoire, and began to chant.
"No!" Shane snapped, "I have waited for decades to raise Silas! You will not put him back in the ground! He will unleash the true power of Expression to me, and I shall be able to do magic too!"
What Bonnie had said about him being full on crazy? Yeah, she was right. But she had more pressing matters to attend to because her grimoire was being snatched out of her hands by Dr. Crazy.
Stefan moved at his vampire speed and snapped Shane's neck and brought the grimoire to Bonnie. Bonnie just stared at her former mentor for a moment before opening her grimoire and deciding to deal with emotions later; especially because the ground had just started shaking and the forest where they were was going up in flames. What Kol had said about Silas releasing hell on earth? Yeah, he was right.

Kol just smirked as he saw the terror that filled their eyes when they realized that he didn't "joke around" as they say now; Silas really was something straight out of nightmares. But he was genuinely glad that Stefan had killed that annoying professor; Kol really did mean to kill that annoying professor, and he sort of did, but that stupid Bennet witch made sure he didn't die. Kol was regretting his decision not to go back and make sure his work was sufficient, but now that didn't matter because Stefan had taken care of the problem.
He watched as the Bennett girl started to chant faster, and he watched as the fire around her actually went down; it was working. Kol was astounded; the fact that this little girl could use so much power that she could actually have an effect on Silas was simply inconceivable!
Suddenly, Kol felt cold; it was a bone-chilling sort of coldness only caused by things of supernatural nature. He groaned and wondered if anything supernatural could happen to him; I mean, he was already dead!
He heard voices, and immediately knew that it was the voices of the spirits. At first it was difficult to understand, all just a bunch of noise, but then they spoke clearly, and as one. "Do you wish to return?"
"What?" he replied, he was confused on their proposition; return to what?
"Do you wish to return to earth as the same vampire you were?"
"Of course I want to go back! Who wouldn't?"
"We will let you go back, but there are conditions," they told him in a sly tone.
"What do I have to do?"
"You have to ensure that Bonnie returns to practicing natural magic, through us, and us alone."
"Why are you assigning me to this? And why let her live at all? Hasn't she caused you enough trouble already?" he complained; he wanted to go back, but why would they have any interest in preserving the girl who turned her back on them?
"We know of your past with witches and your respect for magic. You are the only one who can make her see the truth about Expression. And though she may be trouble, she is also a Bennett witch. She is the key to bringing balance."
"Balance to what?" he ask, interested.
"No more questions, either you return and fix her, or you remain here, on the Other Side, for the rest of your days," They prodded.
"Fine," he agreed.
"You may return, but hurry, you only have until Silas goes back in the ground. If you don't return by then the door will close forever," The spirits replied.
"What door?" he turned around and there was a door he hadn't noticed before. He lunged for it and pushed it open. Kol felt the real world all around him; his only thought was, I am back!

Bonnie saw Silas being weakened, which encouraged her to chant even faster. Maybe this would work, and they would get the cure without Silas wreaking havoc on the earth or raising anyone from the dead. She knew it was nearly done.
"No!" Rebekah screamed, and everyone looked at her, "We can't put Silas in the ground until we bring Kol and Finn back."
She lunged for Bonnie, but Damon, Stefan, and Elena together were enough to hold her back.
"We don't have time to bring them back," Damon told her angrily, "if we don't put Silas back now, we have no idea what could become of the earth."
Bonnie felt the earth stop shaking entirely and the fire went out. She watched victoriously as Silas fell back into the tomb he was trapped in and the stone rolled back over him. She had released such a strong burst of power that she passed out, but right before she did she thought she had seen a certain Original who was supposed to be dead.
But that was impossible, right? No one was sacrificed so no one could be raised, not even Kol, she thought as her world went black.
