Chapter Fourteen – Fool me once
My heart pounded as I ran across the street, Elena had called me telling me she was in danger. My feet hit the pavement as I made it to the motel banging on the door it swung open to reveal Ben as he happily punched my lights out, I fell backwards my body being lifted before my world went black…
I awoke, my head throbbing, I reached up tenderly touching the spot it hurt, I winced I was definitely going to have a bruise. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Elena shift as she too began to awake, throwing herself forward as she realised we where not at home. "shh" I whispered placing a finger on my lips as I indicated to Ben who was slumbering in the chair at the foot of our bed. Carefully She climbed off the bed trying to not make a sound, while I quickly followed trying to cast a little bit of magic, but it wouldn't work, for in the corner was a black crystal – like Noah had – stopping my attempt of a magical escape. We crept past Ben – I now knew why I mistrusted him – before we edged to the door. Elena as quietly as she could unlocked the latch. "I wouldn't." a voice behind us before he slammed me into the wall, I gasped chocking unable to draw breath as his hand gripped my neck. "Don't try to escape," He tried to compel me but the necklace containing vervain still hung around my neck. "Don't even move. Do you understand?" "I understand." I muttered as he loosened his hold on my neck, as I thought the urge to rub my neck. As soon as he stepped away I pulled the door open and tried to bolt only for a female vampire to be blocking the exit, I quickly pushed Elena behind trying to protect her.
"Seriously?" she snapped as she grabbed a hold of my upper arm, only to get go as if she was burnt and gasped. "who are you?" I demanded glaring at her as she began to laugh. "you don't know, that's classic." She mocked as she gabbed us both again, opened the door to the bathroom and shoved us in. The room was small and dark, with only one flickering light to brighten the room. "Bonnie" Elena gasped causing me to turn around and in the bathtub was Bonnie unconscious.
As Elena tried awakening Bonnie, I tried to find some way of escape, but the window was boarded up and without my magic, I was useless. I sat on the toilet seat, my head on my lap thinking about what I could do. God I was an idiot I didn't even tell anyone where I was going, if I was smarter I would have told Damon, Stefan or Lexi. Suddenly the door was banged open and the female vampire pulled me from the room before slamming the door closed once again.
"me nor Bonnie are going to open the tomb." I told her. "oh, I think the both of you will." "Why. I know Kathrine's not in the tomb." I told her as she looked at me her face full of shock. "How can you know," She demanded. "Never mind, it's not Kathrine I want, but my mother Ruth." I forced myself not gasp. "the women who played the Salvatore brother?" I questioned, seeing anger flash across her face. "Kathrine had one job, but she wouldn't not while she had her whole family around her, she ruined the plan by falling in love. And do you know who had to pay for it – my mother. But, if you don't open the tomb your brothers blood will be spilt." The vampire snarled and then in a flash was gone. Ben came back into the room pulling Bonnie and Elena with him. "Sit. Behave." He snapped dragging them to the bed and forcing them to sit. I motioned for the girls to distract him as I slowly pulled out the knife I never left home without, then with one quick slash I cut my arm. Ben took one sniff until his eyes locked on mine and he pounced, his fangs digging deeply in to my flesh: tearing and ripping as he pushed himself further into my neck. My eyes kept open and I begged them to leave until I couldn't take it anymore and my eyes snapped closed, I felt the fever start as sweat covered my body. I hared the door slam but apparently Ben didn't as he continued to drink until he was forcibly pulled off me. In front of me stood an enraged Stefan, I hared him growl harshly before my vision bleared and darkness was welcomed.
I awoke slowly, still in pain, I gingerly touched neck surprised when there was no burning pain, or blood coating my hands red. "How are you?" I hared someone ask, turning I saw Bonnie and her grandmother sitting in chairs next to my bed. "I'm okay, how long have I been out?" I asked trying to piece everything together. "only a couple of hours, though your lucky to be alive, you would be dead if me and Bonnie hadn't been able to heal you." Snapped Sheila bennet. "I'm sorry." I whispered my voice cracking as Bonnie helped me to sit up and drink some water. "so, who's the angriest?" I questioned usually by now Damon's Lecturing me on my stupid behaviour. "it's hard to tell," Bonnie muttered "Damon's not talking which in any other situation would be a God send, Stefan smashed a wall, nearly brought the whole house down, Zach's drinking, Elena's pacing and Lexi's on the phone to her husband and has locked herself in her room." My eyes widened, yikes I'm in trouble. "So there not very angry then." I joked as the door opened and in came in a shaking Stefan. Weird its usually Damon, I thought as I tried to block out what he was saying, but his voice was causing dust to fall from the ceiling and the whole room to shake.
For the next couple of hours every person came and shouted at me until I was effective in blocking them all out. "where are you going?" I asked wrapped in a thick jumper as I unsteadily walked down the stairs using the railing for support. "to the tomb." Elena spoke just as Damon said, "shouldn't you be in bed." I ignored him. "I'm coming." I told them as I slowly made my way towards them. "no, you're not, your still weak." Lexi protested as I glared at her. "we are wasting time, so you can get in the car and let me come or I ring Anna up and get her to take me. What's it gonna be." While everyone argued about the best cause of action I grabbed the keys of the table and headed towards Stefan's car, high jacking it I laughed as I sped out of the driveway – before they could catch me – and towards the tomb.
It took everyone five minutes to arrive, while I sat in one of the corners, Sheila and Bonnie started holding hands and chanting. Then everything started going crazy, the flames enlarged as the spell came to an end, while the tomb shook and where once stood solid wall appeared to be a great gaping whole. Stefan left to get the gasoline and Damon entered the tomb alone even though Elena begged to let him bring her along. Then Anna turned up and left with her mother's body in her arms. But then a great blast of magic shook the tomb once more. "what happened?" me, Elena, Lexi and Stefan demanded as I stood up on wobbly legs. "me and Bonnie are only strong enough for two vampires to get out." Sheila answered looking worried. "can we open it again to get Damon and Kathrine out." Bonnie asked looking worriedly at the door. "I need you lot to get out," I told Elena, Stefan and Lexi who looked ready to protest. "Leave!" I yelled my anger getting the best of me as my two friends and sister left.
We grabbed hands, standing in a triangle as we continued to cast the spell, magic pulsed the stone walls as the seal was forcibly taken down, As the spell broke it sent us crashing the floor. Damon rushed through the entrance screaming in pain, as he fell to him knees his hands clasped around his head before he passed out…
The truth was out, the spell Emily Bennet put on Damon's memories broke as did the seal of the tomb, I let out a sigh as I climbed into bed. Today had been exhausting and my magic was weak, with my body feeling heavy I couldn't cling to the conscious world anymore.
The girl stood before me, her cracking voice repeating over and over again: " help me…help me…" as a sinister laugh echoed around the walls of the dungeon, moonlight cast a little bit of light into the space as I let out a terrified scream. Broken bones littered the floor as blood coated the walls and floor as though they were bleeding themselves.
I awoke, my chest heaving, my body aching and my throat sour as 'Black Magic' by little mix began to play. "what is it Bonnie?" I asked Bonnie mumbling slightly. "it's…it's my grandmother… oh Mayrah she's dead." The young girl sobbed as my heart broke a little more. "Bonnie," I screamed "Bonnie I'm coming over." I shouted as she ended the call in heart-breaking sobs as I rushed out of the house, only stopping to leave a note, as I drove to Bonnies numbly.
