Damon decided to take me for a drive through Mystic Falls; the town was truly beautiful with all its historic building. Most of the doors and windows have been boarded up; I assume to keep the Vampires away. "Most of the humans were forced to your town; compelled to leave and forget what had happened here." Damon explained looking at me as he drove. "It's just safer that way sometimes."

I flick through my Instagram feed on my phone and smile at a picture of Jen, Meredith and myself. "Once this barrier spell is gone…everyone I love and care about are in danger; aren't they? Because of what I am…and what I know."

Damon looks back ahead continuing down the road. He takes a turn into a side street and continues."So, you're admitting you're a witch?" He teases.

I roll my eyes at him as I slip my phone back into my bra. "Growing up I always knew I was different." I laugh. "I think back to this one time I was out at my friend house at this bonfire party. I was 15 and very drunk; this guy made this pass at me and somehow he got hit by lightning." I shrug. "Even though there was no storm reported." I look over to see Damon smirking at me. "I know…I seem really perfect but trust me I'm not." I reassure him; nervously scratching my fingers on my jeans. "So…was your girlfriend a Human or was she like a Vampire as well?"

We pull into a driveway out near an old shopping strip; he looks at me and laughs. "Elena and I met when she was human – well actually a doppelgänger. Then she became a Vampire then took the cure to become human again."

My eyes widen. "What's a doppelgänger?"

"There are two well-known doppelgangers; the ones descendent from Silas and the ones that are decedent from Amara. It's basically through the immortals."

I shake my head and laugh. "Too confusing for me."

Damon gives me a smirk. "This coming from the girl that can read hieroglyphs and some weird alphabet." He shrugs looking at me with those bright blue eyes. "Thank you for helping me…" He pauses.

"I'm not doing this completely selflessly…you said you'd help me find out about my real Mom….but you're welcome." I flip my hair over my shoulder and then rest my hands in my lap.

We get out of the car and walk along the quiet street. I stay close to Damon. Signs hung up on shop doors read. 'No Vamps allowed.' We walk up to the one store; Damon tried the door. It's locked. I grab a chunk of cement from the sidewalk and knock out the window on the door. Damon gives me a disapproving look. "How did you plan on getting in?" I ask him with a raised brow.

"Good point, I was thinking more along the shipping door that's probably unlocked." He replies trying to open the lock through the broken window pane. He opens the door and we walk in slowly. "Pick out some food that isn't spoiled; you're going to need some clothes and your cigarettes as well." He shrugs his shoulders and raises his brow. "Heaven knows we wouldn't want to see you go nicotine withdrawal."

Flipping him off I begin to walk through the store while Damon keeps watch at the door. Making my way through the store; slowly I begin to pick up the things I need. I fill a basket with cans of pasta, Mr. Noodles and other foods which I used to eat in College. Half oblivious to my surrounding I don't even notice that the mundane shopping music is playing still over the supermarket radio. Making my way over to the clothing section I hold a pink shirt up to my chest and size myself up. A rattling sound draw my attention to the far back corner of the supermarket. "Hello?" I ask softly as I cautiously make my way to the back; the sound growing louder now I set my basket on the ground and creep over. "Damon?" I ask again. A black cat jumps out of a pile of rubbish. "Dear god!" I hold my chest and try to catch my breath. It looked just like the same cat I nearly ran over when I entered Mystic Falls. "Silly Kitty; nearly gave me a heart attack."

I walk past the sporting goods section; the glass cases are filled with guns and boxes of…wooden bullets? I grab a 2lb weight and smash the glass case open; shards of glass flies everywhere. Taking a second to look behind myself I make sure there is no one behind me; I turn back around and pick a box of wooden bullets and a bolt action rifle. I take a bullet and load it in; I struggle for a while trying to maneuver loading it; the last time I went hunting I was with my Dad- I was 5.

When I walk back towards the front of the store I don't see Damon. I look around slowly, set down my clothes and food. I raise my rifle and slowly make my way to the front door. "Damon?" I ask softly in a whisper. I step outside; there Damon is standing with a stake held to his chest by another man. The man is tall; with dark brown hair and a somewhat charming grin.

"Hello Zoé." The man says with a devious smirk. "How about you put the gun down?"

I cock the bolt of the rifle and take aim at the man. "Why don't you let go of Damon?"

Damon looks at me then to the man. "Hmmm. Zoé I kind of agree here…I don't feel comfortable with you pointing a gun in my direction."

I tense my finger on the trigger and aim it at the man holding Damon hostage. "Let him go!" I urge the man.

"Very well!" The man says; with one swift motion he places his hands on both sides of Damon's head and snaps his neck. Damon drops to the ground just like a rag doll.

"NO!" I scream my voice so shrill; I drop the gun and run to Damon's side looking up at the man. "What did you do?" I ask with a sob. Holding Damon in my arms; crying over his limp body.

The man reaches down and grabs me tight by the arm; dragging me to my feet. "I was told that I could find you here. Don't worry, he'll wake up in an hour or so." The man continued to lead me down the street to a parking lot. "My name is Kai by the way."

I struggle trying to pull away from him. "You're the one who cast that spell on Bonnie and Elena!"

Kai gives me a smirk. "You're very insightful. You see I'm stuck here just like you; I never died but the members of the Osiris Coven seemed to think I might come back and they trapped me and all other supernatural beings here in Mystic Falls."

I twist my arm away from Kai and pull backwards. "What the hell does this have to do with me? Who told me you could find me here?"

Kai smirks at me and leans against a car holding the handle to the driver's side. "You…in 1903; now get into the car."

"What do you mean?" I get into the car out of curiosity. What does he mean me…in 1903? He gets into the driver's seat and continues down the road towards Holloway Grove. I begin to panic! "I can't cross the border!" My voice shakes. "I can't cross the border; I'll die!"

"You're going to remove the spell." He insists.

I unbuckle my belt silently trying not to draw attention to myself. "But If I even can remove the spell; you and every other bad supernatural being can escape."

Kai looks at me. "Well duh."

I carefully reach over and grab the door handle; I open the door and jump out as the con continues down the road at full speed. I lay on the ground for a few seconds in gut wrenching pain; my arms covered in blood from the asphalt road tearing up my skin. I jump to my feet as I see Kai's car slam on its breaks. I stand up slowly; I can't put pressure on my left foot. Crying I lift up my hand and flick it up; the car flips over with the motion of my hand and lands on the roof. I stand there for a moment and cry; my heart is pounding in my head.

"Zoé!" Damon cries out from behind me.

"Damon." I reply softly; looking at him then everything began going dark.

The sky is a red-pink color as the sun begins to set. The warm golden sand wiggles between my bare toes until the clear blue-green water of the Nile washes over my toes. I pull up my white linen tunic up slightly so it doesn't dampen from the water. Looking toward the palace I see smoke; rushing towards the door I barge into the main hall.

"Amunet!" Father cries as two Roman men hold daggers to his neck. With a swift motion the one takes the dagger and slits Father's neck from ear to ear. I gasp; my eyes flood with tears. I run to Father's side and hold him as he dies. I look up to the men and speak in words I do not understand. The two Roman men fall to their knees; gasping for air.

I open my eyes and gasp for air; I jolt upright in bed and cling to the sheets in my left hand. I see Damon sitting beside me holding onto my hand. "It's okay." He says softly; I pull my hand away and look at my arms; not a single scratch on them, no marks and no blood.

"I'm alright?" I ask in amazement looking over my body.

Damon leans back in his chair and smiles. "Kinda…you kind of had to drink my blood."

I furrow my brow and hold my stomach. "I feel like I'm going to be sick." I rub my face. "Oh shit. Where's Kai?" I ask in a panic.

"He got away…nice work on that car by the way." Damon smirks taking a drink from his brandy glass.

I can't help but smile a little; but I have an unsettling feeling about that dream. It was me…but it wasn't me in it. The girl looked exactly like me. Damon hands me a pack of cigarettes and smiles. "Menthols."

When I grab the pack from him I laugh with a huge grin on my face. "Thanks." I grab one from the pack and put it between my lips. "I thought you died when kai snapped your neck." I mumble with the cigarette between my lips.

"Were you worried?" He asks with a smirk on his face.

I laugh and holds my thumb and forefinger in a slight pinch with a thin gap. "Maybe just a little." I look for a lighter that I usually keep in my bra. "You know...Now that Kai isn't dead…It'll be easier to bring Elena back."

Damon nods; he leans over and grabs my lighter from the nightstand beside me. "Here; you lost it on the road." He stands up and walks towards the door. "Get some rest."

I pull my knees to my chest and look to Damon. "Damon…can you find out who Amunet is?" I ask him with tears in my eyes.

He looks at me for a moment and nods his head. "Sure…Are you alright?"

I shake my head in agreement. "Yes…I just had a very bad dream; it felt so real."

Damon places his hand on the door frame and smiles slightly. "You got it."

I walk down the stairs feeling like I've been hit by a half ton truck. I pull on the sleeves of my cream colored cardigan. Damon and Stefan are already sitting in the living room talking to one and other. I knock on the wall. "Morning." I announce softly. I notice another man sitting in a chair; he turns around and waves at me.

"Zoé this is Alaric Saltzman; he's an occult teacher at Whitmore and most importantly he's one of our friends. Rick this is Zoé she has a BA in Egyptology, she's a witch and our new friend." Stefan says introducing us to one and other.

"Egyptology?" Rick asks me with a peculiar look.

I nod. "Yes. I went to the University of Cairo."

"Impressive." He replies.

Damon stands up and looks at me. "If anyone is going to help you figure out who Amunet is its Rick."

Rick looks at me and nods. "I did a little research myself and she was an Egyptian High Priestess." He opens up a book and shows me the picture of the Hieroglyphs.

I read over them carefully, trying to understand what's in front of me. "She was a witch as well…part of the…Osiris Coven. Hey! Kai mentioned that coven! He said they were the ones who cast the spell to keep him in Mystic Falls if he was to ever return; and to keep the other supernatural beings here." I look at Damon and cock my head. "He also said I was the one who told him where I could be found…back in 1903…"

Stefan turns to Damon who is looking at him with a disgusted look. "No." Damon replies sternly.

Stefan shakes his head and laughs. "You know you're going to have to ask her for a favor."

Damon sucks in his cheeks and bites on them in a look of pure disgust. "No; I'm not talking her."

"Who?" I ask quietly; afraid Damon may yell.

"Our Mother." Stefan replied.

I looked at Rick who was giving me an 'I'm staying out of this one' look. I put my hands in my pockets and look around. "Oh." I don't know how else to reply.

"Our Mother was stuck in the 1903 for a while…" Stefan explained.

I shake my head trying to grasp such thing…but it's not the craziest thing I've heard all week- I mean I am staying with two Vampires. "Okay…So she can help me?"

Damon rolls his eyes and picks up his cell phone and begins to dial a number; he places the phone on his ear and looks at me while it rings. "Hello Mother. What I can't just call my Mother to say 'Hello Mom, I miss you'. No you're right listen; where are you?" He pauses. "Right, Okay well…I'll call you back." He ends the call and looks at me. "Well she got the hell out of dodge the moment we last saw her."

"Kai said I could remove the spell; maybe I could just let us across to get to your Mother?" Damon looks at me with disapproval. "Do you see a choice here Damon?" I ask crossing my arms. "I have these powers…"

"That you can't control!" Damon shouts with a look of fear and anger in his eyes. I could tell he was afraid that if I were to die; he'd never see Elena again.

I walk over to Damon and grab his wrists. "Trust me; I know trust probably doesn't come easy to you but Damon-you need to trust me." I say to him as I look up into his bright blue eyes with my deep baby blue eyes.

He pulls his arms away and rubs his wrists. "Okay." Was all he replied with.

Damon and I take his car out to the road that borders Holloway Grove and Mystic Falls. He places the car in park and looks towards the road; just staring and then he looks at me. "The day Stefan brought you to the house. Was the day I was going to turn off my Humanity." Damon took a deep breath in. "I didn't want to feel even remotely close to human anymore." Damon holds his and out. "Give me your phone." I hand it over no questions asked. After a few moments of him looking through my phone he hands it back. "I programed in my number, Stefan's and most importantly my Mothers. In case you don't make it over and I don't-"

"Damon!" I interrupt him with a shocked looked on my face.

Damon looks at me before taking the keys out of the ignition. "Okay. Let's do this."

When I step out of the car Damon runs over to me with his super-fast Vampire speed. I try and catch my breath out of surprise. "Wow; you're quick." I say; being the first time I've ever seen how quick he can run.

"Not where it counts." He laughs with a smirk on his face.

I roll my eyes and hold out my hands. I close my eyes and begin to chant. "Nomanus padrea senti sanfri, Nomunus umbre parria hombari." Words flow though my mouth in another language; one I've never spoken before just read. "Sentisa ommo, Nomunomas jentura sanfri senti nomus!" I say raising my hand. I walk over slowly; my hands shaking. "Damon stay there." I say to him as I wait before the edge of the border. I look back at Damon; then cross. Nothing happens.

"Very good Zoe!" Kai says clapping out of nowhere.

Damon jumps on Kai and pulls him down to the ground. "Close the border Zoe!" Damon yells struggling to keep Kai down.

"No!" Kai yells.

I look back at Damon worried, not knowing what Kai will do to Damon when I'm not around. "Nomanus samari de numbrea da carta!"

Kai wiggles out from Damon and runs towards him, crossing the border. Inches away from me his neck begins to bleed, spiting and choking up blood he walks backwards over the line. I look at Damon with sorrowful eyes.

"Go!" He mouths to me and in a flash with his Vampire speed he's gone.

Kai stands there recovering pointing to me. "You'll pay Zoe." He says breathless.

I turn around and continue walking towards my town. I'm home; I can't tell a soul where I've been for they would commit me. No one would ever believe me if I told them; I picked up my phone and dialed a number.

"Hello Mom. Its Zoe…can you pick me up? I'm alright; I'll be at the Diner." With that I hang up the phone and walk to the diner. All I can think about is Damon, and the others I left behind in Mystic Falls.
