Chapter 11

Stefan's P. O.V

I stand and shake the ladies hand. "Hi, I'm Stefan."

"Cynthia" She smiles at me in a flirtatious way. I look at Caroline and she rolls her eyes. I hug her and kiss her cheek.

"Care, I made you breakfast but its cold right now. I can make you something else"

"No, it's okay. I ate before I got here." she yawns.

"Go take a nap we have a couple of hours before the ritual." She nods and heads up the stairs.

"So Cynthia, how did Caroline find you?" We both sit on the couch. Klaus was on the other couch and so was Rebekah with the baby. For some reason they were quiet than usual.

"She contacted me a few days ago. At first she asked me to watch over some girl, but I lost the girl. Then she asked me if I would perform a spell for her. I said no but when she came into my shop she somehow convinced me to do the spell. She said she had found my number online and she knew I was a witch. She told me she was a vampire." I shake my head. How did she compel the witch? I would think that the witch would drink or have Vervain.

"Since Marcels little which isn't here anymore, they won't be able to know she's here."

"Sophie's witches are still alive, so they were the once that agreed to help us out." A girl walks into the house.

"Okay we are ready to change the baby to human. We have one off the doppelgangers blood; we just need the other one." I take a deep breath. Caroline is sleeping so it's good if I do it now that she's sleeping.

After I take my blood they had a table for the baby. I don't know why they want to change her so bad. The witches name was Mitan Illustratio. It meant 'awaiting enlightenment' in Latin, which I find very interesting. But she told me to call her Mia.

The witches bring a bowl and put the blood.

"Fac in hoc Doppelganger sanguinem vertunt execrabile humano" Mia repeated the words over and over. "Okay it's done." She put the blood in a bottle. She gives it to Klaus. They aren't going to give it to her yet because then all the connections to the witches will be cut off. We need the connections to bring back Damon Lexi and Bonnie.

I wake up Caroline. I decide to bring Elena too.

"Leave me in here because I can careless if they come back."

"I know you're hungry so come and I'll give you blood."

"I can starve, Stefan." I drag her into the car. We all head to the cemetery. Elena put up a fight but she stopped eventually.

"Okay when you bring them back, Cynthia will do the spell right after. We brought a human here for them to feed on. So me and Stefan will run up to them and feed them our blood, snap their necks and all is well." said Caroline.

There were five seven witches. They all stood in a circle. The moon helped the spell and made it a little easier to bring Damon and Lexi back.

Mia stood in the middle and held Hope and the witches all held hands. Hopes energy was strong. They all chanted the same thing. "Pertinent ad me Trans strigae"

"Okay we are connected." Mia handed the baby to Klaus and held the other witches hand again.

"Et invenietis illos quaeso ad me addicte huc" Mia had blood coming out of her nose. She was the only one speaking "Ne nobis noceat, accedir etiam nihil noceat."

Another which spoke "Et vadam ad memoriam relinquunt bene si tibi supplicium"

Out of nowhere two figures appeared in front of us. I smile. Damon and Bonnie.

Mia spoke. "Hold on Lexi wasn't in there; I'll try to find her." a couple minutes later Lexi appeared as well. They were all on the floor trying to catch their breaths and coughing.

Cynthia stepped up to them and said her spell. Hoie isti faciunt pura fuerit, eos qui plerumque et non parte effectus supernaturales" She says it a few times. She steps back and me and Caroline run to give Damon and Lexi our blood. I look at Damon and smile. He looks at me with eyes wide open. He looks like he's been in a lot of pain and I saved him. After he drinks my blood I snap his neck. For some reason it bothered me to kill him. It's ironic, because five been sad that he's gone then I kl him. Caroline and I stand back. She runs to Bonnie who's crying.

"Bonnie!" she stands her up.

"Caroline. Oh my god." she's breathing hard. As if she's been holding her breath this whole time. She's crying her eyes out and I feel bad. Damon and Lexi are both awake. We bring the person to them and they both feed off of her. Damon still looks like hes in pain. He stands up and his eyes are red. I go to hug him tight. He hugs me back just as had. I missed him so much.

"Stefan." He says in a whisper. He looks confused.

"Welcome back brother." I look at him and tears are coming from his eyes too. What happened on the other side?

"You saved me." He hugs me tight. He sighs. Saved him from what?

I turn to Lexi and she's smiling.

"Stefan?" She hugs me tight. She seems like she's the only one happy. Damon ran to Bonnie.

"Are you okay?" he whispers to her. She shakes her head 'no'. He hugs her tight. Elena comes next to him.

"Damon?" Elena looks likes she's going to cry. He looks at her with wide eyes. He hugs her tight and she's crying into neck. Her humanity switch is on. So much is happening at the same time I don't know what to focus on. Mia falls to the ground. Everyone ran to her. One of the witches stopped us.

"It's okay, shell be fine. Just leave!" Her eyes were watery.

"Yes. Enough with the hugging and crying, I suppose you all want to stay in my home." We all go to Klaus's mansion. We all sit in his living room. Bonnie and Damon sit next to each other. Something is going on. I wonder what... gosh I've been hanging out with Caroline too much. "Elena is holding Damon's hand. Klaus went to bed and put the baby to sleep.

"What happened on the other side?" Damon and Bonnie both look down. Things got quiet.

"It was like paradise. I was at my most happiness. But it was different, because it was for the supernatural."

"So like a supernatural heaven?" said Caroline. She was next to me. Nobody knows about us yet. Lexi smiles and looks down.

"Yeah, it was amazing. But of course I'm happy to be back. I get to hang out with Stefan again." I smile. Bonnie's eyes were puffy from crying so much. Damon starts tapping his foot.

"Bonnie, are you okay? What happened to you?" Bonnie stayed quiet. Her face was serious.

Damon interrupted. "We didn't get to go to paradise and drink coconut water and ride a pony" he looked mad. "Lexi is a lucky one." He stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"Thank you guys so much for everything. I'm fine but I'm tired and I think I'm going to call Jeremy and tell him I'm here." Bonnie frowns then walks off.

I look at Caroline in confusion. Elena is sitting alone. Caroline looks at Elena annoyed. Everything came back to her. I hold her hand to remind her I'm here. She sighs and smiles at me.

Damon's P.O. V

I grab a blood bag in the fridge. I have this anger in me. It's overwhelming and I try to breath and calm down. My skin is crawling and I feel my blood burning me from the inside. I finish then I head back to the living room. Before I walk I hear Caroline yelling at Elena.

"Caroline, I was hurt. What did you want me to do? I loved him and he wasn't here."

"Yeah but you didn't need to turn your switch off. You always do things for yourself. If I tell you I'm going to bring him back why the hell didn't it cross your mind that you doing that just adds more to the problem? Instead of crying you could have helped." I frown. She did it again. I get even madder. I don't know why I have so much anger. Why did Elena have switch off again, it was so hard to turn it back on the first time.

"I didn't want to be sad anymore, Care. Why can't you get that?" They are both standing. Lexi seems uncomfortable.

"Because you don't understand how big of a pain in the ass you can be when you turn your switch off, Elena. I was trying to help you why couldn't you meet me half way?"

"No, you were telling me to move on." Elena looks mad.

"Yes, Elena. Move on, because you acting helpless and not caring for any one, it's not okay. I'm sure when you killed yourself you did not think about Jeremy once. Or when Stefan died you didn't shed one tear for him. Since you so called loved him at one point" Stefan grabs her hand to sit down. He kisses her cheek and whispers something in her ear. They're together? She gives him a weak smile.

I walk in and they all look towards me. I notice Bonnie wasn't here. I'm so tired of everything for today. I'm so glad I'm back here though. It's way better than the other side.

"I'm out. Feeling kind of tired." I look at Elena then walk off. They all say goodnight. I head up stairs and go into one of the rooms. I notice I don't have any clothes so I go to the room where Stefan sleeps and take some clothes. He has a lot of luggage. I take a quick shower. I change then head to my room. In one of the rooms I hear Bonnie crying. I go into that room then speed to her. She was having a nightmare.

"Bonnie, wake up." I take her hair off her face. I wipe her tears away and her eyes open quickly. I sit next to her and wrap my arms around her.

"Damon?"

"It's okay Bonnie. It's over. It's not going to happen anymore. I'm here." She sits up and faces me.

"It hurts so much. I feel my blood boiling and I'm so angry. I can't stop shaking." I wipe her tears away again. I clench my teeth.

"Bonnie, I am so sorry for what I did to you on the other side. My apologies will never add up the amount of regret I feel."

"It's not your fault Damon. I know you're sorry. I just can't help but feel that pain over and over again... and it hurts." I hug her tight. I feel a tear come done my face. I sigh.

"Talk to me. What nightmare did you have?" We talk for an hour until she falls asleep. I kiss her temple and walk into the bedroom I'm in. Elena is on the bed. She walks up to me and kisses me. I'm frustrated. I don't kiss her back. I have a lot on my mind.

"Damon, what's wrong?"

"I'm just tired, Elena." I walk to the bed.

"Damon, tell me what happened?" I turn to look at her.

"Why'd you turn your switch off?"

"You being away were too much for me to handle. I love you Damon and I can't live without you"

"You can't keep switching your switch every time somebody dies Elena. You need to learn to cope."

"It hurts too much Damon. You're back now so all is well. What's the problem?" she takes a step towards me.

"And what if I didn't come back? You need to learn that if a time comes, you need to learn to move on. You can't be eternally depressed because I'm gone Elena. Switching your switch doesn't help anything."

"Damon, I love you. Why are you acting like this, this isn't you. You were in Bonnie's room for a while. Did she tell you something?" She sits on the bed.

"I love you too, so much. But Elena, I can't keep worrying that you are going to drive off the deep end when I'm not here. I have enough to worry about." I feel this anger build up, and I notice my voice getting loud.

"Damon, is something going between you and Bonnie? Why are you so angry with me?" I look at her with a confused look. What?

"What the hell are you talking about? Nothing's going on between us. You want to know what happened. It's like... a supernatural hell Elena. Okay? And it isn't so easy when you've killed over a dozen people for your enjoyment. I'm angry at myself Elena. All I thought about was that I wish I was one of the lucky ones. Lexi, she's a lucky one. I'm also angry that Bonnie, out of all people, gets dragged along with me. She gave up her life so many times and she gets punished for her part in 'setting the world unbalanced'." I pause. I take a deep breath and look down. I lower my voice. "She got it way worse than I did. Than anybody did because she was also the bridge and failed to do what she was supposed to do."

"It wasn't her fault."

" No, no it wasn't her fault that souls decided to over flow her body and make her weak and pass out to switch to this side... but you try to convincing them that. Now I can't help but need to be there for her."

"Who are them?"

"The witches of the supernatural hell. They hate vampires. They say that we think we are untouchable and nothing can happen to us, that we think we are better than anything. Well they proved me wrong. I sure as hell don't want to go back there" I grab my coat.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to walk around a little bit. Don't wait on me." I walk out and explore the great New Orleans.

They are back! :) Damon is really angry right now. Poor Bonnie :/ She's taking this really hard. Hopefully Damon will help her through this time. Stefan finally got to see Damon. They will get closer in the upcoming chapters and we get to explore their brother bond/friendship. Caroline told Elena off. LOL you go Care! Hopefully everyone calms down. No, Klaus hasn't given the baby the blood yet. Let's see what happens. Also, the spells that the witches said are actual Latin words. If you translate them you can see what's going on. Thank you for reading. Leave a review :)
