Third Person POV
Damon was secretly amused that he was being yelled at by Maddie. When she saw he wasn't reacting, she turned around to leave. Damon watched her go, but then saw her grab her head and fall to the ground. "Maddie?" Damon asked as he tried to help her up and then she fell limp in his arms. He looked at her confused. What just happened? He thought. He looked around, picked her up, and flashed to Elena's house. He went through the window and laid Maddie in her bed. He looked at her confused one last time and then left.

Maddie's POV
"I don't know what's going on! What's happening to me?"
"Relax, love, you'll be fine."
"But I just killed someone. How could I be fine with that?"
"Don't worry, we'll work it out."
"How? How do you think we could possibly fix this?"
"Just relax, it'll be fine. I promise."
I opened my eyes as the images and voices faded away. I sat up and looked around; I was in my bed at Elena's house. What just happened?
I looked over at my clock: 6:37 A.M.
I sat in my bed confused as Elena walked in. "Hey, where did you go last night?"
"I...I...uh..." I said trying to remember what happened last night.
"And why did you sleep in your clothes?" Elena laughed.
I looked down and saw I was still in my clothes and then I finally remembered, although it wasn't much. "Well, I was yelling at Damon, and here I am..." I said still trying to remember more of what happened.
"You yelled at Damon?" Elena asked surprised.
"Yeah." I said like it was no big deal.
Elena laughed. "You're crazy."
"And don't we all know it!" I said and Elena laughed. She left to finish getting ready and I started getting ready, still confused on how I got home last night.

"Have you even talked to Bonnie?" Elena asked Caroline.
"No. I'm mad at her. She needs to make the first move." Caroline said. We were at school and Caroline was talking about how Bonnie wouldn't give her back her necklace. Well, it is Bonnie's so I can see why she wouldn't want to give it back, especially because Damon wants it.
"Be the bigger person." Elena said.
"Impossible in her presence." Caroline said and I had to hold back a laugh. Impossible period. Even I know Caroline isn't big on being the bigger person.
'Why are you so pissed at her, anyway?" Elena asked.
"She's a thief, that's why. I gave her my necklace, and she refused to give it back." Caroline said.
"If I recall, you told Bonnie to 'keep it, toss it, I don't care, I just want it gone.'" I interjected.
"And now I want it back. It's a matter of principle." Caroline said.
"All right, well, I tried. I'm officially out of it." Elena said.
"Good, your turn." Caroline said. "Where's Stefan? Have you talked to him?"
"He's avoiding me." Elena said.
"Why?" Caroline asked and Elena didn't respond.
"It's complicated." I finally said.
The bell rang and Elena and I both waved goodbye to Caroline. Elena and I both ran into history. Today was the day we got our new history teacher. The bell rang and we scrambled to our seats. "Good morning, everyone." The new teacher said as he went to the chalkboard. Bonnie ran in at the last minute and sat down at her seat. Why am I halfway across the room, but Elena and Bonnie are sitting right next to each other? Stupid seating chart! "Alrighty…" He grabbed some chalk and was writing on the board. "A-L-A-R-I-C-S-A-L-T-Z-M-A-N." He said as he spelled his name on the board. "Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful, I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family emigrated here in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston." Mr. Saltzman said. I looked over at Elena and mouthed if Bonnie was ok. She only responded by shrugging her shoulders. "Now, the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grandfather I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce it 'Ala-ric,' but it's 'A-lar-ic,' ok? So you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher." Alaric finished. Please don't be boring like the last one.

At lunch, we met up with Bonnie. She was explaining a dream she had and how it was freaking her out. "And then I ended up at the remains of Old Fell's Church before I woke up back in the woods." Bonnie said.
"And Emily is the only ancestor you see every time?" I asked. She just nodded. "Maybe she's trying to tell you something." I suggested.
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Bonnie asked us.
"Yeah," I quickly responded.
Elena sighed. "Maddie, you believe in everything."
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked taking a sip of my lemonade.
Elena shook her head and turned back to Bonnie. "2 weeks ago, I'd say no, but now…" Elena started.
"I think I'm being haunted." Bonnie said.
"I don't get it." Elena said thinking.
"Yeah, why would Emily haunt you?" I asked.
"Grams said she was a powerful witch back in the civil war days and that this medallion was hers, it's a witch's talisman."
"So it all started when you got the necklace, right?" I asked.
Bonnie nodded. "I think she's using it to communicate with me."
"Ok, what does Grams say about it?" Elena asked.
"I can't call her. She's gonna tell me to embrace it. I don't want to embrace it. I want it to stop." Bonnie said.
I sat there thinking for a while. Elena had left and I was still with Bonnie. After Elena left, Bonnie and I got up and started walking to her car. I spoke up. "You do realize though you can't give it back to Damon."
"Why not?" Bonnie asked.
"Because he desperately wants it. I don't know what for, but it's yours, it's a witch's talisman. You need to keep it." I said.
"Yeah I guess you're right. But I don't want all this weird stuff happening." Bonnie said.
I nodded and we were silent for a minute, until Bonnie ran into Damon. "This is your last chance." Damon said.
"I'm gonna scream." Bonnie said as she tried to walk around him.
"Oh, no, don't do that. Let's stay on point." Damon said as he walked with us.
"If she doesn't, I will." I said and Damon glared at me.
"Listen," Damon whispered. "I want MY necklace." Damon said louder.
"YOU can't have it." Bonnie said through gritted teeth.
"Well, I can't take it, but you can give it to me. Or Maddie, would you like to get it for me?" Damon said as he looked at me and smirked.
"You're kidding, right?" I said with an annoyed look on my face.
"Look, I'm trying to help." Damon said to Bonnie.
"I don't want your help." Bonnie said annoyed.
"Yeah, why don't you just back off?" I said just as annoyed as Bonnie had said it.
"You do want my help, and you don't even know it. You know why, you little witch? 'Cause you have stumbled into something you need to stumble out of." Damon said and if looks could kill, he'd be dead right now by the looks Bonnie and I were giving him.
"Leave me alone, or I swear I'll…" Bonnie began but Damon interrupted her as he stepped in front of her car.
"Ooh, don't. No threats. Look, A—you hurt my last time. B—I wish you no harm. Same goes for you." Damon said as he looked at me. "Believe it or not, I wanna protect you. Let me help you get Emily off your back." Damon said. How does he know about Emily? …..Must have something to do with Katherine...I started thinking
"How do you know about Emily?" Bonnie asked.
"I know a lot of things," Damon said getting up from the car. This caused Bonnie to back away. "And I know more about that crystal than you do. And I know that she's using it to creep inside of you."
"Or maybe she's warning her about psychopaths like you." I glared.
"You know," Damon said walking towards me until he backed me up into the car behind me. "You need to watch that little tongue of yours because it could get into a lot of trouble." Damon said and I just rolled my eyes. Damon looked over at Bonnie; she looked frightened of what Damon said about Emily. "See, you're scared now. And you should be, because I will get that crystal, even if I have to wait for Emily to give it to me herself. So next time she comes out to play, you tell her…" Damon said as he reached back and opened the door to Bonnie's car. "That a deal's a deal." He said as he nodded towards the car. Bonnie got in the car and closed the door. Damon looked at me and smirked. "Problem?" Damon asked once Bonnie's door was shut.
"Yeah, you're my problem." I said and turned around to walk over to the passenger's side.
"You're not even going to ask me how I know Emily?" Damon asked.
I turned around again and glared at him. "No, because I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Katherine, so I'll pass." I said and he just smirked again. "Why do you even need Bonnie's crystal anyway?" I asked.
"First off, it's my crystal," Damon said as he walked up to me until he was standing right in front of me. "Second, that's for me to know, and for you," he said tapping my nose, where I just responded with lifting my eyebrows. "To figure out." He finished before he walked away.

"He's bad news, Elena. He really scared me." Bonnie said. After the whole Damon encounter, Bonnie picked up Elena and we were heading home.
"You need to stay as far away from Damon as possible." Elena said from the back seat.
"I'm trying. He just keeps showing up." Bonnie said.
I looked at Elena and she just nodded. "We don't want you to be alone tonight. You're staying at our place and we can make a whole night out of it." I said to Bonnie. She looked down at her crystal and pulled over to the side of the road.
"Whoa." Elena said and I held onto the car door handle. Bonnie got out of the car and Elena and I exchanged glances. "Where are you going?" Elena asked.
Bonnie took off her necklace and threw it into the sagebrush as far as she could and walked back to the car. Elena and I exchanged glances again once she got back in the car. "Are you ok?" I asked.
"Now I am. All of my problems were because of that thing. Can't believe I didn't do that sooner." Bonnie said.
"What's your Grams gonna say?" Elena asked.
"Grams isn't the one being haunted by a 150-year-old ghost, is she?" Bonnie asked.
"Ok, then." Elena said.
"What about Damon?" I asked.
"What about him?" Bonnie asked.
"Well, if he….I mean if…nevermind." I said and Bonnie started the car up again and started driving.

The doorbell rang and Elena and I both knew it was Stefan. Elena went to answer the door and I just stayed in the kitchen with Bonnie. "Why's Stefan here? I don't want to drag him into this." Bonnie said.
"Because he can deal with Damon." I said.
"How?"
"Look, Bonnie. Don't worry. We'll figure this out." I said, not really believing a word I said.

The doorbell rang again and Elena let Caroline in. Caroline had brought some stuff over because we were all having a girl's night. And we wanted Bonnie and Caroline to make up. Caroline and I were taking the stuff out of the bag. I looked at Caroline and nodded towards Bonnie. She sighed and turned to Bonnie. "I'm sorry." Bonnie looked up in surprise. "There. I said it. If you want the ugly-ass necklace, keep it." Elena sighed and I mentally facepalmed. "It's yours." Caroline said with a smile.
Bonnie didn't know what to say at first. "Will you hate me if I tell you I threw it away?"
Caroline was surprised and annoyed. "You threw it away?!"
"I know it sounds crazy, but the necklace was giving me nightmares. I had to get rid of it." Bonnie explained.
"You could have just given it back to me." Caroline retorted.
"So you could give it back to Damon?" I asked not really mad, but just as a 'that's kinda the only reason you want it' tone.
Caroline sighed. "Screw Damon. Are we doing manicures or what? Who has their kit?"
"Mine's in my bag." Bonnie said. Caroline smiled and went to go get her bag.
"So, Elena. How long do you think this fight with Stefan's gonna last? Is it like a permanent thing?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know, Caroline." Elena sighed.
"Heh. Why are you such a little liar, Bonnie?" Caroline asked annoyed as she turned around and looked at Bonnie.
"What?" Bonnie said surprised and annoyed at what Caroline said.
"Caroline!" Elena exclaimed.
"What's your deal?" I asked annoyed as well. She pulled out the necklace Bonnie threw out. Elena and I exchanged glances as Bonnie looked horrified.
Caroline put the necklace on the counter and waited for Bonnie to give her an explanation. "I'm not lying to you, Caroline." Bonnie said.
"It's true." I said. "We watched her throw it into a field."
"Well, then explain it." Caroline said.
"Emily." Bonnie said as she looked at Elena and me.
"Who's Emily?" Caroline asked.
"The ghost." Bonnie said ignoring Caroline. Bonnie was starting to freak out.
"Oh, the ghost has a name now?" Caroline commented a little annoyed.
"Caroline, please." Elena said as she tried to shut Caroline up.
"But why?" I asked more to myself.
"Why won't she leave me alone?" Bonnie asked.
"Ok, what is going on?" Caroline asked. "Why am I not a part of this conversation? You guys do this to me all the time. And now you're involving Maddie."
"That's not true." Elena said.
"Yes, it is." Bonnie said and Elena and I looked at Bonnie. Bonnie looked back at Caroline. "I can't talk to you. You don't listen."
"That's not true!" Caroline exclaimed.
"I'm a witch." Bonnie said trying to tell Caroline.
"And don't we all know it?" Caroline retorted.
"See? That's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to tell you something. You don't even hear it." Bonnie said with a sad look and walked off.
Caroline turned back to us. "I listen. When do I not listen?" Caroline asked. Elena sighed and I physically facepalmed. "What?"
"Bonnie just told you she was a witch." I said.
"Yeah…and?" Caroline asked.
"Witch…spells…magic…" I said trying to help her.
"Oh," Caroline said as she realized. "You mean as a joke? Like what we have been laughing at for months." Caroline said.
"Yeah….minus the joking." I said.
"You should go talk to her." Elena said.
Caroline just blinked as she processed everything and went to talk to Bonnie.
"Could you be a little more subtle?" Elena said sarcastically in a playful tone.
"Nope." I said popping the 'p' and Elena giggled as we listened to Caroline talk to Bonnie.
"And I'm saying this knowing Maddie and Elena are in the kitchen listening to every word." We heard Caroline say and we both chuckled. After a few seconds, we heard Caroline yell, "Elena, Maddie, you can come in now. We're done." Elena and I peeped around the corner and both walked in. "Well, there is just way too much drama in this room." Caroline said.
"Agreed." I said.
"So, what do you guys wanna do?" Caroline asked. Elena shrugged her shoulders and Caroline gasped. "I have an idea. Why don't we have a seance?" Caroline said with a big smile.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Bonnie said.
"Come on, guys, where's your sense of adventure? I say we do it!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's summon some spirits. This Emily chick has some serious explaining to do." Caroline said.
Elena and I went to look for candles. When we got enough, we all lit them and Bonnie placed them in a circle. We all sat around the candles and held each others hands. "What are we doing?" Bonnie asked.
"I don't know." Elena answered.
"Shhh." I said.
"Be quiet and concentrate." Caroline said. "Ok, close your eyes." We all closed our eyes. "Ok, now take a deep breath." We all took a deep breath. "Now Bonnie, call to her."
"Emily…" Bonnie said a little annoyed. "You there?"
"Really? 'Emily, you there?' That's all you got?" Caroline asked as we all opened our eyes and looked at Bonnie. "Come on." Caroline urged.
"Yeah Bonnie, just try." I said.
"Alright, fine. Jeez." Bonnie said and we all closed our eyes again. "Emily. I call on you. I know you have a message. I'm here to listen." We were quiet for a couple of seconds and then the candles lit even higher.
"Did that just…" Elena began.
"Yeah, that just happened." Caroline said.
"And now we're all gonna die." I said looking up.
"We're not gonna die." Elena said.
"Goodbye cruel world." I said ignoring Elena and acted like I was going to cry.
"Shut up, Maddie, this is serious." Caroline said freaking out. She gasped and so did everyone else as we felt a chill.
"It's just the air conditioning." Bonnie said, even though she didn't believe it. The lights flickered even higher now on the candles and we all gasped.
"Ask her to show you a sign. Ask her." Caroline urged but Bonnie just shook her head. Elena was frightened and I was waiting for something to happen next. "Emily, if you're among us, show us another sign." Caroline said looking at the candles.
We looked at the candles and everyone was terrified. I had to admit, even I was getting a little scared. "See, it's not working." Bonnie said. We looked at the candles a while longer and the window flew open. Bonnie and Elena backed up and Bonnie stood up. "Nope, that's it. I'm done." Bonnie said as she took off her necklace and threw it by the candles and then the candles went out. "Get the light on. Someone please hurry and get the light on." Bonnie yelled.
"Hold on, hold on. I got it." Elena said as she ran over and turned on the light.
Bonnie looked down and looked as if she was going to be sick. "Guys, the necklace. It's gone." She said and we all looked to where she threw it and gasped.
We searched around the room to find the necklace. "Alright Caroline, you had your fun. You made your point, and I get it, now give it back." Elena said.
"What? Well, I didn't take it." Caroline defended.
Elena sighed. "Elena, I was right by Caroline the whole time. She didn't take it." I said.
Elena and Bonnie gasped as they looked behind me and Caroline.
"What? What is it?" Caroline asked and we both looked out the door.
"I don't know. Nothing." Elena said as she walked out. "Jeremy, are you home?"
Bonnie looked around until something caught her eye. "Um," Bonnie said as she walked towards the bathroom. "Guys…" She said and we all walked behind her and followed her. We looked at her as she picked up the necklace and then all the doors in the bathroom closed. "AHHHHH! Oh my God!" Bonnie screamed.
"Bonnie?" Elena and Caroline said as they tried to open the door. I ran around to the other side and tried to open the other door from the hallway.
"You got to open the door!" Bonnie screamed.
"Bonnie!" We all screamed and the lights started flickering.
"Get me out!" Bonnie kept screaming.
"We can't get it open!" Elena screamed as she came to my side.
I backed up and started kicking the door. "It's no use! It's not budging! Bonnie!" I screamed pounding on the door. Elena and I ran over to the other side and started pounding on the door with Caroline and then the lights stopped flickering and we heard the lock twist. We all looked at each other and I opened the door. Bonnie was in the bathroom covering her eyes. "Bonnie, are you ok?" I asked as we were all panting.
"What happened?" Elena asked.
Bonnie uncovered her eyes and looked at us. "I'm fine." She said in a calm voice.
"Unbelievable." I heard Caroline say behind me. "You were totally faking it." Caroline said.
"Caroline…" Elena began.
"No, you scared the hell out of me." Caroline yelled as she walked off. I just stared at Bonnie the whole time. Something didn't feel right.
"Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"I'm fine. Everything's fine." Bonnie said as she walked past me and Elena.
"I can't believe I fell for it." Caroline said as Bonnie left Elena's room and we followed after her.
"Are you ok?" Elena asked ignoring Caroline.
"I must go." Bonnie said.
"She's leaving, I'm leaving." Caroline said.
"You guys can't leave." Elena said.
"Oh, I can. I've had enough freaky fake witch stuff for one night." Caroline said as she and Elena were arguing at the top of the stairs as I just followed Bonnie down the stairs.
"Thank you for having me. I'll take it from here." Bonnie said as she turned around and looked at us.
"Where are you going?" Elena asked.
"Back to where it all began." Bonnie said.
"Bonnie." Elena said and I realized what was happening.
"Emily!" I said and Elena and Caroline looked at me as Emily turned around, in Bonnie's body.
"I won't let him have it." Emily said. "It must be destroyed."
"Wait!" Elena yelled. But I was already running after her. I ran out the door before it closed, locking Elena and Caroline in.
"Emily, wait!" I yelled as I followed her.
"He can't have it!" Emily said.
"Who? Who can't have it? Who can't have what?" I asked.
"Damon. He must not have the necklace." Emily said as she kept walking faster. I followed her as close as I could in the dark until I realized where she was going…fell's church.
"Do you not realize what will happen if Damon doesn't get what he wants?" I said trying to stop her.
"I'm well aware." Emily said as she walked through the woods.
"Hello, Emily, Maddie." I heard Damon say as we walked through the forest a bit. "You look different." Damon said to Emily.
"I won't let you do it." Emily said as she stopped and looked at Damon.
"We had a deal."
"Things are different now. I need to protect my family."
"I protected your family. You owe me." Damon said. I was just standing off to the side. I can now say that I had no idea what they were talking about, but I knew it had to do with the crystal.
"I know. I'm sorry."
"You're about to be a lot more than that." Damon said as he lunged for Emily but she threw him back with a force of power into a tree where a branch was sticking out of his stomach.
Emily walked off and grabbed a stick and created a circle. I couldn't move. And I mean, I literally couldn't move. "Emily, what's going on?" I said.
"I don't want to hurt you, so you must stay there." Emily said and I figured out she used a spell to keep me from moving.
Stefan quickly came and pulled Damon off of the tree. Damon grunted in pain. "Ugh, that hurt." Damon said.
"Hello, Stefan." Emily said.
"Hello Emily." Stefan said.
"These people don't deserve this. They should never have to know such evil." Emily said.
"What do you mean evil?" Stefan asked.
"Emily, I swear to God I'll make you regret this." Damon said.
"I won't let you unleash them into this world." Emily said.
"Unleash who? What's going on? Kinda can't move here." I said from my frozen position.
"Them?" Stefan asked. He turned to Damon. "What part of the story did you leave out, Damon?" Stefan asked.
"What does it matter?" Damon asked still on the ground in pain.
"Emily, tell me what you did." Stefan said.
"To save her, I had to save them." Emily said and I felt a release of the pressure holding me and fell to my knees.
"You saved everyone in the church?" Stefan asked.
"Wait, this is about Katherine?" I asked once Stefan mentioned the church.
"Yes." Emily said answering my question and then turned to Stefan. "With one comes all."
"I don't care about that. I just want Katherine." Damon said as he slowly stood up.
I looked at Emily and felt her starting to do something, although I couldn't tell what. "Guys," I said starting to feel anxious.
"I knew I shouldn't have believed a single word that comes out of your mouth." Stefan said as he turned to Damon.
"Guys," I said a little louder as I watched Emily pacing around.
"This isn't about love, is it? This is about revenge." Stefan said.
"The two aren't mutually exclusive." Damon said.
"Damon, you can't do this!" Stefan exclaimed.
"Guys," I said louder trying to get their attention but I was feeling too weak to stand. I felt like Emily was going to do something, and I was starting to get really scared.
"Why not? They killed 27 people, and they called it a war battle. They deserve whatever they get." Damon said.
"27 vampires, Damon. They were vampires. You can't just bring them back!" Stefan exclaimed.
"This town deserves this."
"You're blaming innocent people for something that happened 145 years ago."
"There is nothing innocent about these people, and don't think for a second it won't happen again." Damon yelled. "They already know too much, and they'll burn your little grandwitch right next to us when they find out. Trust me." Damon said to Emily.
"Things are different now." Emily said. I slowly started to stand up as I regained some of my strength.
"Don't do this." Damon pleaded.
"I can't free them. I won't." Emily said.
I got behind Damon and Stefan. "Guys," I said and they looked at me. "Back up." I said as I grabbed their wrists and pulled just as a circle of fire encircled Emily.
"No!" Damon screamed once he saw the ring of fire. Emily raised the necklace as Damon continued to plead no.
"Bonnie!" I heard Elena scream and Stefan went to hold her back and I was still next to Damon. Emily threw the necklace up in the air and it exploded everywhere. I looked at Damon and then back at Emily. Damon looked about ready to kill her once the ring of fire was gone and Emily lowered her head and Bonnie came through.
Bonnie looked around and I turned to Stefan. "Stop him!" I yelled as Damon lunged for Bonnie. I ran over as Damon grabbed Bonnie and Stefan flashed by him as he pulled him off of her. Elena came running up and Bonnie was lying on the ground. If she's dead, Damon's dead.
Stefan lowered his head to where her heart was. "She's alive, but barely. I can save her." Stefan said as he bit into his arm.
I knelt down to get a better look at Bonnie. Well, actually, that was a lie. I was still weak from whatever Emily did to me. Stefan fed her his blood from what it looked like and Bonnie's neck started healing.
"Her neck. It's healing." Elena said. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat back. I looked over at Damon and instead of angry, he looked hurt. I was guessing it was because of the fact that the necklace was the only way he would see Katherine again.

"I don't get it. He attacked me, and…his face was like…" Bonnie said once we got her back to the car. We were still in the woods, and Bonnie was trying to process what had just occurred with Damon.
"How do you feel? Are you ok?" Elena asked.
"I'm fine. It's-it's just this blood. I don't…" Bonnie began but her eyes grew wide in fear. Elena and I turned around and saw Stefan.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Stefan said.
"Maddie, Elena, what's going on?" Bonnie asked.
"We'll explain everything Bonnie, ok?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, let's just get out of here." I said.
Bonnie was looking over at Stefan and was still scared. "Bonnie, Bonnie, look at me." Elena said. "Trust me, he's not going to hurt you."
"Now Damon on the other hand…." I began.
"Maddie, not now." Elena said annoyed. "Come on." She said to Bonnie as she led her to the passenger side.
"What I do?" I asked but Elena ignored me as she helped Bonnie into the car.
I turned to Stefan. "Is she going to become…" I started.
"No, no. She has to die with my blood in her system, so keep an eye on her tonight and make sure that nothing happens, and once it leaves her system, she'll be fine." Stefan said.
"We're going to have to tell her the truth." I said.
Stefan nodded. "Are you sure?" He asked.
"We can trust her, plus, I know it would be nice for Elena to not have to keep the secret from her." I said.
"Yeah, I know. And she shouldn't have to live in a secret. You both shouldn't have to." Stefan said.
"You saved her life." Elena said as she came up to Stefan. "I thought that I couldn't be with you, but I can." Elena said and I knew it was my time to take my leave.
I walked around to the car and Bonnie was leaning against the seat with her eyes closed, trying to calm down. I smiled and heard something behind me. I turned around and saw something between the trees. I started to walk towards it. An image flashed through my mind.
"Come on, it's just a bit further." A girl said as the other girl followed.
"You keep saying that over and over." The other girl said and they both laughed.
"Maddie." I heard someone say as they shook me. I blinked a couple of times and saw Damon. He was holding onto my arms. "You all right?" He asked.
I looked around and realized I wasn't by the car anymore. "Yeah…I'm…" I said trying to process what happened.
"Maddie? Where are you?" I heard Elena yell.
I turned my head to where I heard her voice and I could faintly see the car. "I gotta go." I said and headed back to the car. I turned around as I got there and I saw Damon was gone.
"Where did you go?" Elena asked. Her eyes were watering.
"I thought I saw…Are you alright?" I started but then asked once I noticed her eyes were watering. She didn't really answer, so I guess what happened. She wanted to be with Stefan, but he pushed her away. I pulled her into a hug and she sobbed in my shoulder.
When we got home, we told Bonnie everything that happened and we were all sobbing. Well, mostly Elena and Bonnie were, but my eyes were watering a bit.
I heard the doorbell ring and I went to go answer it. I got in the hallway and saw Jenna opened the door. I gasped at who I saw on the other side: Logan Fell.
