CHAPTER 4

Bonnie brushed her hands off, and turned to Elena.

"I don't approve of what we just did." Bonnie said with a frown.

"You still helped, so you're just as guilty as I am." Elena folded her arms across her chest. The two stayed in silence, and then looked back at the tomb that they'd just shut Rebekah's body in. the two girls had put her body inside the tomb, and then Bonnie cast a spell on the door so that it was magically sealed. To finish it off, she used her magic to cover the entire tomb with thick vervain bushes. She wasn't sure why she did it if she didn't agree with it; probably because Elena was her best friend, and she would do anything for her.

"Come on; let's go before we're caught." Elena said and Bonnie nodded before magically teleporting, leaving Elena to walk off.

"Too late." An angry voice growled from behind them. They turned around and saw Stefan, who showed up just in time to hear their conversation.

"S-Stefan. What are you doing here?" Elena stammered, but was still trying to sound innocent and sweet.

"I was just wondering if you knew where Rebekah was." he said through gritted teeth, just to find out if she'd lie about it.

"N-no I don't, but I'll help you find her." Elena said nervously. Suddenly, Stefan used his vampire speed and strength and before she could blink, she was shoved up against a tree with Stefan's hand around her throat.

"Don't LIE TO ME!" he screamed.

"S-Stefan." She choked out, clawing at his hand. "I c-can't br-breathe."

With a low growl, he let go of her, but she was too scared to move.

"How do I get her out?" he asked while trying to control his anger.

"How do I get her out of what?" Elena feigned innocence, but put her hands up in surrender when Stefan shot her a dangerous look. "Okay, okay, I don't know."

"You…don't…know?" he asked, dangerously slowly. That was not the answer he wanted.

"N-no, no I don't know. Only Bonnie does she cast the spell." Elena told him truthfully. Stefan growled and grabbed Elena's arm and dragging her back to the boarding house.

"Where are we going?" she asked weakly, scared.

"You're helping me find a way to get her back." He told her and she didn't ask another question.

When they reached the boarding house, Stefan got out a pile of books and put them on the table. He started to read one of them, but as Elena was going to go help him, a hand on her arm stopped her.

"You shouldn't have lied to him. And if you truly loved him, you wouldn't have." Damon said to her, a hint of sadness in his dark brown eyes.

"I lied because I love him." She replied.

"You don't lie to the people you love." He showed her a sad smile. "I wouldn't lie to you." He finished and then left, leaving Elena standing in the doorway with a look of shock on her face.
