Thank you all so much for the reviews and I'm glad you liked the last chapter and my story as a whole. Sorry it's been so long, School has been sucking me dry. but here's the long awaited ch12! EPOV
After I watched him leave I poured some cream into my tea and brought them both into the living room sitting back down next to Stefan in a guilty silence. I sat facing Bonnie not being able to look at either Damon or Stefan. "Have you found anything?" I asked after taking a sip of my tea calming myself down.
"I think so, well I know how to track Jeremy and I think I found away to remove the invitation. Thanks for the tea by the way, it was just what I needed." She looked up and smiled at me, taking a sip from her mug.
"No problem."
"To remove the invitation we're going to have to go to your house, and we need to get something of Jeremy's that has his DNA: hairbrush, toothbrush, or razor." We all nodded, she set down her cup, closed her book and stood up, all of us following her to the door.
"We can take two cars, mine and someone else's so I can go home from there."
"Ok, we'll take mine." Stefan decided, picking up his keys from the table by the door. I followed Stefan to his car, sliding into the passenger seat. Hearing a third door close I turned to see Damon in the back with a smirk on his face.
"I hope you don't mind I tag along with you guys, something tells me Sabrina wouldn't appreciate me in her car." With out answering him Stefan started the car and followed Bonnie and Mr. Sultzman to my house. When we arrived all the lights were off and Bonnie and Mr. Sultzman were already standing on the porch, Mr. Sultzman holding the book open for her.
"I thought we should restore the safety of the house first. Elena can you go and bring me four large candles and some chalk?"
"Yea" I agreed, taking out the key to unlock the door. I went inside with Stefan right behind me to the hutch, opening a couple drawers franticly till I found four display candles. In a hurry to try and keep a hold on all four I dropped them all. Letting out a frustrated cry I bent down to pick them up as fast as I could, Stefan beating me too it.
"Hey," he said calmly with his hand holding my cheek so I would keep still for a moment. "Everything will be alright. We'll find him, I promise." He kissed my forehead and I nodded against his lips.
"I think there's some chalk in the office." I told him a little more calmly.
"Ok, come on." He kissed my forehead one more time before we went into the office where I found two small pieces of chalk, and then we headed back outside. Giving the supplies to Bonnie she drew a decent size circle on the porch in front of the closed door and placed the candles around it in a square. She then connected the candles with the chalk and drew lines connecting across as well to make an X.
Silently she stood in the center of the 'x' holding the large book open in one hand and the other one raised to the sky. She spoke from the book in what appeared to be Latin in a confident hushed voice. The flames of the candles grew about and inch and the rim of the door glowed a soft yellow. We all stood in amazement as the glow grew brighter by the second, eventually causing us to turn away.
With my eyes closed I noticed the light behind my eye lids begin to fade, turning back the door looked as if nothing happened and the candles were back to their normal burning height. "That should do it." Bonnie's voice broke the silence and she started sweeping the chalk with her foot, the rest of us picked up a candle and snuffed it out. "Now to find Jeremy I need some hair or something, which will be the easies thing to find and to work with."
"I'll find his hair brush." I went to go open the door, pausing at the knob thinking that it would burn me since the glow burned my eyes so much.
"It's fine Elena, you can open the door." Taking her word for it and hopping I wouldn't regret it later I grabbed the knob. When it didn't burn my flesh I opened the door slowly. The inside of my house looked the way it did when I left it moments before, satisfied I stepped through the threshold, Bonnie and Mr. Sultzman following right behind me. When I turned back toward the door I noticed Stefan step then stop at the door jam. Bonnie, seeing my confusion, hurriedly explained.
"The spell was to un-invite vampires into the home. That means every vampire that has been invited in must be re-invited in; there was no way to just have me exclude Katharine."
"I guess that makes sense." I looked from Bonnie back to Stefan who was right in the door way, and Damon right behind. "You may come in Stefan." At my invitation Stefan stepped through the door way, thanking me when he got to the other side, Damon was then taking his place waiting for his invitation.
"Maybe it's better if he can't come in, a lot of problems could have been avoided if he was never invited." Stefan proposed as he slid and arm around my waist. Damon put his hands against the door frame angrily.
"Really Stefan, when have I really disrupted this household since my invitation? Or does it bother you that much that maybe she wants me here sometimes when you're not around?" Stefan growled softly, if I wasn't right next to him I wouldn't have heard it. I could tell that they were both getting angry at and had to step in before someone did something they'd regret, deciding to leave out the part where he influenced my dreams once or twice after his invitation.
"Stefan that really isn't fair. Damon has been a large help recently, in fact if it wasn't for him I've would have been dead on a couple of occasions." I assured him that it was ok for him to be in the house.
"I agree with Stefan." Bonnie spoke up, getting a growl from Damon. "It's based more on a personal dislike; I guess I could agree that you can serve a good purpose when you want to."
"He is quite handy." Mr. Sultzam defended "Even if he's a complete ass."
"Aw thanks Ric, I feel the same way." Damon retorted with a roll of his eyes, then looking back to me still waiting.
"You may come in Damon" He smirked as he stepped through the barrier fixing the sleeves of his leather jacket as he went.
"Why thank you Miss Gilbert." He said with a polite nod.
I hope you liked it, not as juicy as the last one but hold your horses. please review!
