Bonnie came to find that the linking spell was pretty easy to do, it only took: 2 amulets, blood exchange and acceptance of both parties on the deal. She had seen many cake recipes way more difficult than this. It took some convincing but Damon had agreed on matching silver necklaces with a tiny gem pendant that would bind the spell. Simple to wear and hide in their clothes. While they were at the jewelry store Damon picked another lapis lazuli ring, just in case his current one got destroyed.

She didn't feel any different, she was the same Bonnie, but with the linking spell complete she experimented making a small cut in her hand when it healed immediately, she knew the spell had worked. She couldn't vamp speed or had super agility but she was now frozen in time, ready to face whichever years she had to face until they got to the present, the slow path, like the Doctor called it in a Doctor Who episode she had watched once.

Despite everything Bonnie couldn't shake off some anxiety, she had Damon that had lived so much and knew about the decades they'd probably end up in but those things were all unfamiliar to her. She thought about their relationship, would they remain together like they did in 1994? Back then, they weren't linked and they did, they seemed to gravitate to each other, it was still awkward to think about but it was true.

They designed a plan together, once they were out, they'd quickly try to figure out when they are, find shelter, lay low and wait. Ok, this was more of Bonnie's plan, she was in battle mode, being all objective. Damon was more laid back and sincerely it was getting on Bonnie's nerves a bit.

"I am being serious Bonnie!" Damon defended "I'm just holding on to hope like you told me remember, uh?" "Besides, we can worry once we're out, right?"

He was right, Bonnie agreed, she still was affected by the time she spent alone, hopeless, but little by little, she began to feel better and all her worries started to fade, she felt more like Bonnie again.

They chose to do the spell in the morning, so after the obligatory Damon-style breakfast, they got ready and headed to the woods.

They went to the woods because, as Damon pointed out, the woods were always there through the years, they couldn't afford to get out of 1994 and suddenly appear in a populated area. Bonnie loved history so she knew there were many difficult times through it, not that they were much easier now since she got trapped in alternative time dimension but her mind wandered. More importantly they couldn't run into past Stefan and Damon, also Katherine, Lexi and the Originals, Damon had assured her that obviously he knew where he had been, so no problem there, he also knew most of Stefan's whereabouts and Katherine followed him a lot, same thing with Lexi…

They finally got to an isolated spot, sheltered by the shade of tall trees, Bonnie brushed her worries aside, they had no time for it and the sooner they got out the better.

They packed light, Bonnie wore a long skirt because they'd probably land in a time where women didn't wear trousers yet and it would attract many strange looks. She gathered all the things needed for the spell and they held hands as Bonnie began chanting, she tried to focus on Damon's daylight ring, so they wouldn't be vulnerable to ending up in any century.

The wind started to rise around them, leaves flying, then everything went quiet. They looked around, hands still locked tight, the scenery was still pretty much the same but with more trees, they could tell that they weren't in 1994 prison anymore.

"Is this it? No white light, no fireworks?" Damon whispered.

"Sorry to disappoint you Damon" Bonnie mimicking him. "At least your ring survived", she pointed out.

He made a funny face at her and they let go of each other, inspecting their surroundings, the woods didn't offer many clues so they walked towards Mystic Falls, they reach the road and they both froze in their places. It was a dirt road but it wasn't so in 1994 "That's proves it we're in the past" Damon stated the obvious.

"You don't suppose we'll find a teenager and an old man with a time travelling car anywhere near? " Damon raised an eyebrow at her. Bonnie had her hands on her hips, she had expected this but still she hoped that they'd end up nearer their present time.

"Tell you what, I'm guessing this is the 19th century, so it's a very bad idea to show up in the city" Damon sighed.

"What about we check your house, from afar, obviously" Bonnie added "It's not inside the city".

"Fine, better start walking then" Damon replied a bit annoyed.

"What's wrong with you? I'm the one who's in the wrong century!" Bonnie said, following him "Don't you feel, I don't know, at home, in a way?, uh?"

Damon turned to look at her like she was crazy "Yeah, this is great, if my father is still alive I can go to him so he can tell me how much of disappointment I am, I miss that!"

Bonnie didn't mean it that way, he knew, but realizing he was so close from what he used to call home as a human left him on edge.

Bonnie was amazed, the Salvatore mansion was really huge, she couldn't tell from the ruins she had seen, this place was great, the Salvatores really were rich. It was deserted as far as she could tell, Damon agreed "Probably Stefan and I have already fled this place".

They walked a bit more to Emily's little house and were startled when they heard a sweet voice behind them say "How can I help you, are you lost?"

A/N: I want to thank everyone who is following this story and commented, I hope I don't disappoint! I debated with myself to where (or when) I should send Bonnie and Damon, my initial idea won, so yeah, they're in 1864, like you've probably guessed ;) I'll try to work on making the chapters a bit longer and I'll try to updated as fast as I can!
