Chapter 10
STEFAN
I sat with the spell book in my hand. Bonnie had asked me to look through it to see if I came across anything. I didn't know what I was looking for so I just looked for anything that might stand out. When I lowered the book I looked around to see everyone with a book in their hands. They seemed to have come up with nothing at all. The silence had been making Elena doze off every five minutes and Damon wouldn't keep his eyes on the same book for more than three minutes. The only person who actually looked like this didn't bother them was Bonnie. I lifted the book back up to hear someone else slam there's down. Elena popped up and Bonnie looked over at Damon squinting her eyes.
"It is nothing in none of these books. I have studied these books-" Damon started before I corrected him.
"Glanced over." I said putting the book down and walking over to him.
"Whatever. There is nothing in here." I looked over to see Bonnie sigh. She looked annoyed, but understood that sometimes Damon could have these tantrums. "We don't even know what this thing is." He was right we had not known what we had been searching for exactly. Elena stood and walked over to stand beside Bonnie.
"Was there anything in Meredith's diary?"
"She stopped writing a week before she died. She never wrote down anything about what she fought. You are right we need more information about David because when he comes back we are going to need to be ready." Bonnie laid her head on the desk and Elena began to rub her back.
"We will find something Bon." She said.
"We are not going to give up so neither should you?" I felt like that was the right thing to say. Elena and I looked over to Damon waiting for him to say something.
"What they said." Elena gave him a look like if you don't say something else I am going to slap you, he smirked and began to speak again. "There is nothing in these books I don't mean to sound like a downer but we can't do anything with out knowing what he is." Bonnie looked up and the look on her face said she knew he was right. She stood up and walked over to me.
"Take us to that underground place where you found those things." I didn't think that was a good idea but I knew that if I said no she would still go there anyways.
"Okay let's go."
"Field Trip." Damon said grabbing his jacket and following us. We had decided to take Elena's truck since it did the best in the off roads. Bonnie and Elena called there folks telling them that they would be home a little late tonight. Bonnie seemed to have the hardest time talking to her dad. Ever since the accident he had made sure to pay extra attention to what she was doing and where she was going. She didn't tell him where exactly she was planning to go but told him that she would be with me, my brother and Elena. That sat well with him and he finally hung up. I watched her run her hands through her loose curls, she was stressed about something, but it didn't affect her so much because she was still so beautiful. I had been so busy wrapped up in admiring her that I didn't notice she was staring at me in the rearview mirror. She smiled at me and I smiled and looked away, a bit embarrassed that she caught me staring.
Elena got us there in about 25 minutes, which was good so that meant more time we could spend searching. We hopped out the car, and Bonnie began to lead us to the opening. "How come neither one of you thought about this earlier before we looked through all those books?" Damon asked.
"I forgot all about this place." Elena said as she entered into the opening in the woods. I looked over to Bonnie, she had been quiet for awhile and I wanted to know what she was thinking.
"Are you going to be okay?" She hesitated for a minute then nodded. "If you don't want to be here the three of us can do it." I knew her being back here would be hard, so if she needed to leave I would understand. She looked between everyone and then back at me.
"I am okay. Let's just hurry and get this over with." She turned and began to walk towards the hidden path.
When we got to the cabin in the woods, Damon got to the door first and walked in. "This place looks old."
"Compared to my place yeah but you can't say it is old if you live in a museum." Elena said smiling at the two brothers
"No, my house looks nice and antique; I wouldn't call it a museum. I think about it as like a colonial house." Elena nodded her head as she smiled at Damon's comment. I led them to the stairs that made its way to the underground lair. I made sure to tell everyone to stay close. "How close do you want us Stefan because I am in between Bonnie and Elena, and the witch is in front of me?"
"Not that close" I said so quickly that Damon and Bonnie smiled and Elena laughed."Just make sure to be aware of your surroundings."
"Stefan that is kind of hard to do when it is dark."
"That's right you don't have super sight like Stefan and me." Damon said looking back to Elena. She ignored him as she saw the light coming from the room. We made our way in and Bonnie was shocked like Elena and I had been the first time we came.
"This is..."
"Magnificent." Bonnie finished.
"I was going to say big and bright but you could go with that." Damon said looking at everything.
"Okay I found everything on the desk over there in the middle of the room." I showed Bonnie the desk and as she touched it something happened.
BONNIE
The image of the room was so incredible. I could feel the magic in the room as soon as my foot hit the tile on the floor. I followed Stefan to the desk he said they had found everything. It looked familiar and I didn't know why. I circled the desk as Stefan looked on. I placed my hand on the corner and felt something, I closed my eyes and opened them again to see my ancestor Cecil running towards me. She continued to run until I thought she would bump right into me but she had gone straight through. I turned to see Meredith sitting behind the desk.
"Meredith did you find it."
"No but it says that when we find it there is a key that you need. The lock is hidden on the book, once you find the key you should know where it goes."
"That spell should kill them right?"
"Dead as a doorknob."
"Good lets get out of here, this place gives me the creeps." Meredith smiled as she began to walk towards the door but when they stopped I listened closely and I could hear someone coming. I watched as they ran looking for a place to hide. They came across a couch by the door and slid behind it. I moved to the wall so that no one could walk through me again.
"We have the witches right were we want them." a female voice said "Now only if David can stop having googley eyes over the red head."
"I don't have googley eyes for anyone." David said walking to the woman. "I had a job and I did it. Get them to the cabin."
"Well maybe you think that but-" I watched as the two continued to argue. I knew now that the two were related from the way they argued, it was the same way Jeremy and Elena argued and Vicki and Matt did. The other person laughed at their bickering, until another person walked in holding a book in there hands. Staring at the book I realized that it was the very book that I had in my room. The book with the skeletons and the pentagram on it.
"David and Amelia, can we act like mature adults." David turned away from the girl and she sat on the desk. "Now since everything is going as planned we will attack the witches in three more nights. David make sure to stay in character until you get them into the woods." I looked over to see that Meredith had been distraught to find out that David was in on this plan. Cecil patted her shoulder as a slow tear came down.
"Got it, but what do you want us to do about the book. If they find it we could be in some trouble."
"They are not going to be able to open it. James has the key." Everyone smiled and began to walk away. Once they were out the door Meredith and Cecil waited and came out.
"I can't believe David is in on this."
"He set us up." the brown eyed witch walked over to the table and grabbed the book. "We need to find that key."
"I know." Meredith got herself together and began to look at the book. "We have three days to find the key and how to kill them all." Meredith and Cecil took the book and said a spell to teleport them somewhere else.
I opened my eyes to see I was looking up at the ceiling. I placed my feet on the floor and everyone had turned their heads.
"Bon, did you have a vision." I heard Elena say.
"Yeah."
"Good because you scared us for a minute." Stefan said sitting down next to me. I had to think about what I saw. I walked up to the desk and moved all the books off the table to see that there was a crest.
"I have the book needed to kill them." Damon shot up.
"Good lets go, I am ready to get this man out of my town." Bonnie held her hand up.
"I don't think I have the key though."
"Damn Bonnie could have said something before I got excited."
"Sorry Damon." I didn't mean to excite him. I glanced over to see Stefan still looking at the crest. He knew something.
"Spill." I walked over to Stefan, and Damon and Elena followed. "You know something about this don't you."
"I saw it in one of the books at the house."
"We need to find out what it is then." We hurried out of the room and back to the truck. "Can I stop by my house to get that book?"
Elena drove to my house and I told them to wait outside and I would be back in a minute. I ran to the door and opened it to run into Amy. "Hey, are you staying in for the night?"
I slowed down to answer her, "No I am going to stay over Elena's house tonight. I got to grab a bag then I am on my way over there." I saw my dad come out the kitchen.
"Are you going somewhere?"
"To Elena's." I said making my way upstairs.
"Okay, tell her I said hello."
"No problem dad." I got to my room and found the box of stuff in my closet. I grabbed the book and a few clothes to wear and threw them in a bag. Amy was in the kitchen with my dad, "have fun, sweetie."
"Only because you say so." I said trying to keep up the fact that nothing was wrong. I shut the door and ran to the truck.
"You got everything?" Stefan asked from the front seat.
"Yeah." Elena started the truck and we went back to the Salvatore boarding house. When we got there everyone stepped in the house and started to go back to the study, except Damon. He went to the fridge and I suppose he got something to eat. I followed Elena and Stefan back to the study. He went straight to the books looking for the crest we had seen earlier. I sat in the corner and took the spell book out of my bag.
The book had been exactly the same since the last time I had saw it. Nothing stood out as I observed it. I began to feel around on the cover to see if something moved or appeared. The stress in me was becoming more evident when I huffed really loud.
"Do you need some air?" I heard Damon say walking in the room to sit down beside me. I looked over at him and got up.
"I think I do." I walked out, making my way to the front door. Once outside I sat on the steps and breathed this was only getting harder.
A/N: Sorry I had to put this short chapter up but I didn't know how to continue and hadn't uploaded in awhile. Reviews will probably help me out though.
