"Grams, Grams!"
"What is it child, are you ok?"
"It's Jeremy he's being possessed by Connor, grams we've got to do something!"
"I'm sorry child but there's nothing I can do, Qetsiyah greatly out powers me and if you know what's good for you Bonnie you'll stay out of this one. Qetsiyah is an extremely powerful witch to the likes I have never seen before and the fact that she can still affect the world of the living from this side all on her own is a test to that power. "
"Grams I can't, it's Jeremy."
"Bonnie she has no intentions of hurting Jeremy, her main goal is killing Silas." assured Grams
"How can you be so sure? You've always told me to trust my instincts and Grams I'm telling you I don't know what it is but every time I'm around her I get this dark, cold chill that runs up my spine. Grams I don't think she's on our side and I'm sorry but I can't let her put my friends in danger."
Sheila reluctantly let out a smile which was accompanied with a head shake, "Have I ever told you just how stubborn you are?"
"All the time, Dad says I get it from you." smiled Bonnie
"Well he isn't wrong but if you're serious about wanting to help your friends then you have to learn how to use your powers to affect the world of the living and I just might know the person to teach you how do that, come follow me." replied Sheila as she grabbed hold of Bonnie's hand.
Back at the cave Alex was putting her finishing touches on her last pentagram drawing which was located on the walls just before reaching the entrance of the cave. When Alex had finished her drawing, she poured water into hand and mixed it with the dirt from cave floor to make mud. She then began to smear the mud all over her drawings as she wanted to keep them concealed from Silas at least until it was time to use them. Alex then began to hear the moving of boulders from the outside the cave which meant that Silas was back. Alex's heart beat began to quicken as she still hadn't cast the spell to remove the drawings from sight and now if she did cast the spell Silas would most surely hear her and know that something was up where on the other hand if she didn't chant the spell Silas would see her pentagrams and she more than likely would end up getting roughed up and then be forced in to removing the drawings any way.
After taking a deep breathe Alex decided to go through with the spell so she placed herself in between both drawings to which she then extend both her arms and quickly began to repeat the word cadaverous which means conceal in latin and as she chanted this word the palm of her hands glowed red for a split second as a pentagram quickly emerged and then suddenly vanish. Alex's drawings had been concealed from sight just as Silas had completely removed the giant boulder that was blocking the entrance to the cave.
"What were you just chanting asked? Asked Silas just before Alex attempted to run pass him but was easily stopped by a backhanded slap from Silas which sent her flying back into the cave before crashing and rolling across the cold, wet cave floor.
"Why can't you just behave?"
After Alex caught herself she slowly got back to her feet as she used the cave wall for balance. "If you think I'm just going to stay here and be your pet, you my friend are sadly mistaken." replied Alex just before spitting blood.
"Are you ok?" asked Silas after seeing Alex spit out blood
"As if you care."
"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't." said what seemed to be an almost remorseful Silas
Alex used the back of her hand to wipe the blood from off her lips and as she did this she shot Silas a dirty look as she was outraged at the fact that he had the nerves to ask her if she was ok after just backhanding her to the point that she was now bleeding from the mouth.
"Well guess what, I don't want you to care." snapped Alex before turning and walking away from him as she headed over to the cooler to which she'd grab a bottle of ice cold water and apply it to the right side of her face which was now burning hot and aching. After grabbing the bottle of water Alex then took a seat on top the cooler as she continued to apply the ice cold bottle of water to her face.
Silas scoffed before leaning up against one of the walls in the cave,
"What that Amelia girl ever saw in you I will never know." said Alex
Silas's head sharply turned in Alex's directions after hearing her recent comment. "She saw me for who I really was."
"And that would be?"
"A good man, who loved her more than she could ever imagine." replied Silas in a somewhat sharp tone
"Good? I'm sorry but GOOD is defiantly NOT one of the words I would use to describe you." replied Alex as she rolled her eyes
"Contrary to what you might think, I'm not the bad guy here."
"Are you kidding me? You've killed countless people, turned a town against itself, and not to mention kidnapped me and yet you still have the nerve to stand there with a straight face and say you're not a bad guy?" asked a completely shocked and agaited Alex "Hell and I haven't even mentioned the two times you've struck me, you know what though you're right you're not a bad guy you're a monster. Now I have no idea who this Amelia chick was, but obviously if she fell for you she was a VERY bad judge of character, if not a killer herself."
Just as Alex had finished her last statement Silas super sped in front of her slamming the palm of his right hand against the wall behind her causing the cave wall to shake as the loud thud sound made from his hand striking the wall echoed through out the cave. Silas was now up close and personal as his face was now mere inches away from Alex's, "Let me tell you something, you can paint me as a monster, hell you can even hate me for all I care but if ever question, or speak of Amelia OR her virtue in a negative manner in front of me again, I WILL KILL YOU, Look alike or not." stated Silas in the most coldest and serious of tones.
It was at that very moment that Alex realized just how much Silas loved Amelia and it shocked her to no end just how protective he was over the mere memory of her. Silas on the other hand was feeling a number of emotions which ranged from anger, to guilt, from guilt to sorrow but the one feeling that seemed to over power all the others was love. The love he had for Amelia was stronger than anything else he was feeling and even though he knew that Alex wasn't Amelia he didn't care and so with no warning Silas pulled Alex into him as he planted the most passionate kiss on her and for a brief moment Alex found herself going along with the kiss as she was suddenly taken over by feelings of longing, and love which ended up subsiding as quickly as they came. Alex then forcefully shoved Silas away from her as a look of confusion and anger shot across her face.
Silas backed away as a look of desperation showed clear across his face, as he longed for the touch and kiss of his one true love. Alex's breathing was heavy as she was still a little taken back by that powerful and mesmorizing kiss. Silas continued to stare at Alex the same way he use to stare at Amelia. Alex at this time was making it her mission not to make eye contact with Silas as she attempted to make sense of what had just happen. Alex didn't like Silas and could barely stand him yet when his lips met hers she was struck with feelings for him that she couldn't explain or understand.
"Alex."
"No, no talking." interrupted Alex as she didn't care to hear what Silas had to say. "Please just leave me alone." pleaded Alex
Silas was going to comply with Alex's wishes but after taking a few steps towards the exist he stopped, as the feeling he got from kissing Alex began to play out in his head causing Silas to glance back at her especially seeing as the way he felt while kissing Alex was the same way he use to feel when kissing his beloved Amelia. Silas suddenly super sped in front of Alex as he attempted to kiss her again as he longed to feel the way he did when Amelia was around but unlike last time Alex wasn't allowing it, so with a wave of her hand Alex sent Silas flying into a sharp long piece of rock that was sticking out of the cave wall. After Silas was impaled Alex began running full speed towards the exit. At this time Silas lifted himself off the rock before super speeding over and grabbing Alex from behind as he made sure to have her arms pinned to the her side. Silas was dripping blood from his abdomins and as Alex struggled to get free of his hold, Silas suddenly bit into her neck and began to feed.
Alex screamed out after being bitten but Silas just continued on to feed taking a few breaks in between feeding to come up for air not that he really needed to. As Silas feed on her Alex began to recite a chant in latin but the chant ended up being drawn out as she struggled to remain conscious from the steady and continous loss of blood. Just as Alex was finished chanting she noticed the pentagrams she drew earlier were now visible and glowing red so with the last once of strength she had Alex pushed off of her feet using her power of telekinesis to propel her and Silas to the entrance of the cave but just as Alex was making it pass the glowing pentagrams on the wall a huge wall of energy formed and struck Silas just as he got close to the glowing pentagrams causing him to loosen his hold on Alex as he was sent barreling back into the cave.
Silas quickly recovered and as he got back on his feet he attempted to super speed after Alex who was now lying on the floor just outside the cave but as Silas got close to the entrance he found himself slamming into an invisible wall of energy. Silas watched as Alex slowly got to her feet while making sure to apply pressure to her neck wound.
"Alex let me out of here." demanded Silas but when Alex didn't respond right away Silas rapidly began pounding on the invisible wall of energy and so a scared and weak Alex turned and to ran away in fear and terror that Silas would in fact break through her magical wall sooner rather than later.
As Silas watched Alex run away an image of Amelia lying dead in a pool of her own blood popped into his head and as it did Silas began to pound even harder against the invisible wall as he began to yell out Alex's name continuously all while still pounding on the invisible wall.
