Thanks so much for the reviews on the last chapter!!! Hope you enjoy chapter 4.

Chapter 4 – The Spell

I just sat there for a few minutes. I wasn't sure what just happened, Damon was being so sweet and for a minute I felt something….I am not sure what but it was something.

I grabbed my pajamas off the chair and headed towards the bathroom. I turned the water to the hottest possible and let the tub fill up as I undressed. I stepped into the tub and sat down. The hot water felt amazing. I laid my head back and closed my eyes and the first thing I saw was a pair of amazing blue eyes…Damon's eyes. I startled me and I took a sharp breath in and opened my eyes slightly jumping.

After I finished up in the bathroom I threw on my pajamas and made my way back to my bedroom. I got into bed and checked my phone. I had a text message from Damon. 'I need you to get Bonnie to help us to open the tomb.' I just stared at the message there was no way Bonnie would ever agree to that, especially after what happened when she destroyed the crystal. I hit reply and typed. 'she will never agree to that.' A few seconds later my phone went off. 'Please Elena we need a witch to say the spell, it is the only way.' I didn't know what to respond with, I knew it would be near impossible to convince Bonnie to do this. 'Fine Damon, I will go talk to her tomorrow but I can't promise anything.' I shut my light off and layed down then my phone buzzed again. 'Thank you.' I sighed and closed my eyes and went to sleep.


The next morning I woke up and picked up my phone to call Bonnie.

"Hello?" Bonnie answered.

"Hey Bonnie, how are you doing?"

"I am good, how are you."

"I am OK. Bonnie I need a favor, a huge favor."

"What is it Elena?"

"I need you to help Damon open the tomb, he has the spell and…"

"Elena are you out of you mind? Did you forget that he tried to kill me because I destroyed the crystal?"

"Look Bonnie, I talked to Damon and the things he has been through….well I had to tell him that Stefan was going to betray him…He loves Katherine and he just wants her back."

"Wait, you are going behind Stefan's back?"

"Bonnie it is his fault that Katherine was locked in there he betrayed Damon, I just…"

"You just what?"

I sighed. "Bonnie please, just help him get Katherine back. We won't let any of the others out. Just Katherine."

"I don't know Elena." We were both silent. "OK Elena I will do it, for you."

"Thank you Bonnie, I will text you later with the details."

I hung up the phone and opened a new text message.

'Can you come over?' I selected Damon's name from my list and hit send.

A few minutes later there was a knock on my window. I went over and let Damon in.

"So is this a booty call?" He asked lifting one eyebrow. I sat down on my bed and he sat next to me.

"I got Bonnie to agree, she will help get Katherine out, only Katherine. You have to destroy all the others. Just let me know when you want to do it and I will let her know."

Damon tuned to face me and looked into my eyes. He brought his hand up and cupped my face. "Thank you." And there he goes looking at me with those eyes again.

"I just want you to be happy Damon, you deserve to be happy." I placed my hand on his leg for a second before I removed it and placed it back on my own. "So when should we…"

"Tonight. I will come pick you up around midnight then we will go get Bonnie."

"And Stefan…what do I tell him?"

"Look Elena, I don't want to ruin your relationship, I am sure Stefan is already going to be furious, so whatever you want to do is fine with me."

"Well, I actually don't know. I was hoping for some advice on that from you…since we are all friend like now." I said smiling at him.

"I could tell him. I can tell him that I have the spell to open the tomb and I have the witch and I knew he was going to betray me. I won't mention your name."

"Wait, you have the spell already?"

"I copied it from the book when Stefan went hunting bunnies."

"I don't think it is fair that you tell him alone, he is going to be really mad."

"I can take care of myself, and I promise I won't hurt him."

"Thank you….not for promising not to hurt him but for willing to tell him and keep me out of it."

"I owe you. I will see you tonight."

And with that he was gone. I just couldn't figure out the strange feeling or vibe I was getting from Damon. Everytime he would look into my eyes and my stomach would do flips.


It was 11:30 PM. I decided to relax and listen to some music until Damon came to get me. I was facing away from the window with one headphone on so I could hear when he was knocking. Ten minutes later there was a knocking coming from my window. I got up and walked to the window.

"Damon, Your early."

"Well I talked to Stefan, so I thought I would come by to tell you about it."

I was a little nervous to hear how Stefan reacted to what Damon said. I was also nervous to hear what Damon actually said.

"So…"

"So…I told him that I didn't trust him to help me, I told him that I found out the spell I needed to open the tomb and that I was doing it tonight. He was mad obviously. He didn't call you?"

"No, when did you tell him."

"A few hours ago."

"Oh." I was a little upset. Stefan didn't even call me to talk to me about this, but than again I pretty much lied to him. I have been going behind his back this whole time so I really didn't have the right to be even a little upset.

"Are you ready?" Damon asked as he walked towards the window.

"Um, you expect me to get out through the window?"

"I will go first, then you can jump, I will catch you."

"Um…" I said looking down out the window.

"I won't let you get hurt." He said looking into my eyes.

He went out the window and I stood there for a second. I closed my eyes and jumped. I gently landed in Damon's arms. I opened my eyes to look at him, he bent his head and whispered in my air. "I told you that you would be safe." He gently put me on the ground. "Come on, let's go get Bonnie."

We arrived at Bonnie's house and I called her on my cell phone to let her know we were outside. Bonnie came out a few minutes later.

"Hey Bonnie." I said.

"Hey. Hi Damon."

"Hello Bonnie, thank you for helping."

"Anything for Elena." She said shrugging.

We walked in silence for a while. For the first time I started feeling nervous. How would Katherine react when she saw me, someone who looked exactly like her. I began to feel cold, I wished I had brought a jacket.

"Are you cold?" Damon asked.

"A little." Damon took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. "Thanks." Bonnie gave me a weird look but I just ignored it and continued walking.

We finially arrived at the tomb. It felt like it took forever, probably because I was making myself more nervous every second.

"OK. Bonnie here is the spell." Damon said handing her a piece of paper.

Bonnie took the paper from Damon and looked at me. I gave her a reassuring smile and put my hand on her shoulder. I tried to make her feel calm and safe even if I wasn't exactly feeling that way. Bonnie began chanting. I noticed Damon's head shoot up and look to the right.

"Elena?" I looked over and saw Stefan standing a few feet away looking at all of us.
