Chapter 7

"Damon!" Stefan screamed shocked that Damon would do something so stupid. He went to run after Damon but stopped himself. He couldn't go in there and be stuck too.

"Don't worry." Elijah said to Stefan, but didn't elaborate.

"What do you..?" Stefan started to ask before Elijah shook his head signaling him to be silent.

"Later." He mouthed.

O

Damon ran to the back of the tomb ignoring Stefan's outburst. He didn't care if he was trapped in here. He just needed Elena to be safe which she wasn't with Katherine.

When he got to the back of the tomb he saw Katherine sitting on a bench covered in dirt with a smirk on her face. Elena lay on the ground in front of her. Her shirt was covered in blood. He saw the hole in the stomach of her shirt that Jeremy had told him about.

"Come to play?" Katherine asked, getting off the bench and walking over to Damon. He just walked away from her and picked up Elena.

"You know it won't work Damon." Katherine called before going and sitting back on her bench.

Damon knew but he just wanted to try. He walked Elena to the front of the tomb and tried to put her legs through the opening. It didn't work. I felt like he was trying to push her through a wall.

Judgey the witch walked over to him. She looked behind him to check that Katherine wasn't watching before she handed him a tiny note.

Elijah has a plan. His witches are going to open the tomb and then he is going to compel Katherine to let Elena out.

After reading the note Damon passed it to Bonnie. He mouthed, "Will it work?" to her. She nodded and walked away, out of the tomb.

Stefan mouthed grimoires to Damon and he understood. The witches needed Emily's spell book to open the tomb.

The only part of the plan Damon was concerned with was how it said Elijah was going to compel Katherine. How could he? Katherine was a vampire.

He shook it off and carefully placed Elena down near the front of the tomb. He checked out her neck and saw it was still bleeding. He listened to her heartbeat and heard it was very faint and slow. He bit into his wrist and put it up to her slightly parted lips.

"Elena, drink, you'll feel better." He whispered to her. Her eyes opened a tiny bit and saw him. "Damon." She said with a weary smile.

"Elena drink." Damon said and she did.

Katherine walked from the back of the tomb. "Well isn't his cute." She said looking over Damon and Elena. Elena backed away from her scared only to hit the barrier. She turned around confused; it looked like there was nothing there. She placed her hand against it and realized she couldn't get out because Katherine had compelled her.

Damon stood up in front of Elena facing Katherine. He realized he had dropped his bag filled with stakes when he punched Stefan.

"Awe, is Damon going to be the knight in shining armor for his Elena?" She asked in a baby voice.

He jetted at her only to have her move over next to Elena. She smiled slyly at him pulling Elena up by her hair. Elena whimpered. Damon only remembered Stefan when he yelled, "Stop!" as Katherine grabbed Elena.

Damon ran to Katherine again but instead of running away she threw Elena to the side and held her ground.

Damon pushed her into the barrier and held her against it by her neck. Elena hit her head on the wall and sat up after a few seconds shaking it off.

"Don't touch her!" Damon growled. Katherine took his hand off her neck, twisted it and brought his arm behind his back. She leaned against the wall and whispered in his ear, "Don't touch me."

Then they both fell through the barrier.

O

Jonas and Luka had looked through all their grimoires and couldn't find a spell like the one Elijah talked of to open the tomb. Then Bonnie showed up.

She told them that Elijah had sent her because she had the spell to open the tomb and they believed her. She opened her grimoire and showed them the spell.

"We can do this on the roof of the building." Luka said to them.

"My Grams and I had to do it right in front of the tomb the last time." Bonnie said with a questioning look.

"It doesn't need to be done there. It can be anywhere if you have the right things." Jonas explained to her.

They gathered torches, salt, and water and went to the roof.

The spell itself would only take them a little while but Jonas and Luka needed to contact Elijah first. They sat at the table in the kitchen with Bonnie watching.

"Are you sure you can do this Luka?" Jonas said looking at his son in concern.

"Yea dad, just send me in there." Luka replied confidently.

Jonas started speaking under his breath with his eyes closed. Luka's eyes were still open but glazed over.

"Elijah," He said, "The spell will be done in a couple of minutes. Be ready." He said and just like that he seemed to come back into the room with Bonnie and Jonas.

"He got the message."

O

Right when Damon and Katherine fell through the barrier Elijah grabbed her. She didn't even have time to realize what happened before he had her neck in his hand.

He rammed her on the ground holding her neck like Damon had. Stefan ran into the tomb and went to grab Elena before he smelled all her blood. He had been too distracted before to notice.

His face began to change, the veins popping out under his eyes and his fangs coming in, before he ran out of the tomb and into the woods to calm down.

Elena hadn't even noticed Stefan coming to her so he didn't scare her. She was lying on the ground sobbing. Damon went in and helped her into a sitting position. She hugged him and wouldn't let go.

"Thank you." She whispered to him.

Elijah on the other hand was glaring at Katerina. She looked back at him with surprise.

"Let the girl out Katerina. Now." Elijah said compelling her, spending no time messing around.

Katherine looked over to Elena and said in a monotone voice, "You can leave."

Damon picked Elena up and walked out of the tomb.

"Thank you Elijah." He said glancing down at the man who was still choking Katherine.

"You are quite welcome. You may leave now." Elijah replied not looking away from Katherine.

Damon walked into the woods to look for Stefan but found that he was gone. He decided to not spend any time looking for him and just brought Elena home. She had already fallen asleep in his arms.

O

Stefan slammed his glass of bourbon so hard on the table that it broke. Glass and shards of wood went flying around the room. He was angry for not being able to control himself around Elena when she was hurt. He was even angrier that Damon had been able to control himself. Stefan was supposed save her not him.

"Wow. Someone's angry." Damon said strolling into the room, "BTW, that means by the way, that table was expensive. You better get a new one."

Stefan ran to Damon and punched him in the face.

"What the hell was that for?" Damon asked Stefan holding his nose. Broken. He snapped it back into place.

"You could have gotten stuck in there forever! Why the hell would you risk that?" Stefan asked glaring at Damon.

"Wow. Wait just one second. You're asking me how I could risk my life to save Elena? Wasn't it you saying just yesterday, 'I can't think of a better way to die'?"

"You're the one I'm concerned about! You don't care about anyone but yourself, and now you're risking your life for Elena?" Stefan said, making up a quick excuse in his head.

"Me? Not care about Elena? I think that's you mister, 'don't go in the tomb Damon! I won't do that it's to dangerous!'" Damon said yelling mocking him.

"I'm just saying you're not the kind of person to risk that!" Stefan yelled back.

"You trapped me in the basement!" Damon yelled at him, "You left Elena alone with that psychotic bitch!"

"It wasn't worth the risk of never getting out! Bonnie and I had it handled." Stefan spat in Damon's face.

"ELENA ISN'T WORTH THE RISK? ELENA? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Damon exploded in Stefan's face. He punched him so hard in the stomach that Stefan flew across the room and through a window.

Stefan stood up weakly. He still didn't heal as quickly as a regular vampire but he healed faster then the last time Damon had thrown him through that window. Ever since he started drinking a little human blood every day he had been healing faster.

"Get me a new window too." Damon said to him before storming out of the house.

O

Elijah carried Katerina's unconscious body to the town hall. He knew for a fact, the mayor herself had told him, that there was an old holding cell there. She had also informed him there was reinforced steel and a window in the cell

He carried her into the basement and chained her into the chair just as she started to become conscious.

"Where…?" Was all she got out.

"Somewhere we can talk Katerina. I think it is long over-due for us to have a chat." He said smirking at her already terrified expression.
