Chapter 25
With Kai
He walked in the hospital and saw Jeremy ready to enter Elena's room.
Kai : Hey.
Jeremy : Oh you're back. Anything new ?
Kai : Yes. How about we go talk ?
Jeremy : I need to see Elena first he opened the door
Kai followed him inside. The young woman looked better than a few days ago.
Her face wasn't bruised anymore but she was still hooked to several machines.
She was deeply asleep.
Jeremy : Hey, I'm here he kissed her forehead
Kai pressed her hand lightly.
Jeremy : I've connected our minds so I can really talk to her.
Kai : That's good. Bonnie will be glad to know that. We should...
The door opened again revealing Caroline holding a sunflowers bouquet.
Caroline : Oh hey she looked at Jeremy You're still here.
The tension filled the room.
Kai : he cleared his throat I'll stay here. How about you two go talk ?
Jeremy : Let's go.
They left and Kai sat in a chair.
Jeremy : I don't have much time.
Caroline : Yeah, not for me anyway. We can agree on that.
He sighed.
Caroline : Look, I don't want to be the bitch that is upset at her boyfriend because he's visiting a comatose friend but...But it's more than that, isn't it ?
Jeremy : I'm sorry, I...
Caroline : You love her.
He remained silent.
Caroline : she slammed the flowers into his chest Don't call me.
Jeremy : Caroline...
Caroline : Just don't she left
He walked back to the room and noticed it was crowded. Kai was still here of
course. Camille and the cop guy -Will- came while he was talking with
Caroline. He couldn't believe things were over.
Don't lie to yourself you're relieved, he thought. He was free to love Elena with
all his heart now. Elena...
He needed to connect with her and go to Elenaland but it wasn't a good
moment. He left while thinking of new ways to wake her up.
With Bonnie and Freya
The light stopped in front of a house in the suburbs.
Bonnie : That's not what I imagined. It looks very normal.
They noticed toys on the porch.
Freya : Maybe it's an illusion.
Bonnie : Let's find out.
They left the car and walked to the house carefully. They had defensive spells
ready in their minds. They reached the porch when the front door opened. Freya
rose a hand in surprise.
Bonnie : Stop !
It was a little girl. She was around ten. The blonde witch immediatly withdrew
her menacing hand.
Bonnie : Hey, um do you know Lily ?
?: That's my mom. You want to see her ?
Freya : Yes. Can she come outside ?
?: I'm going to ask her she went back in the house
A few minutes later a ginger haired woman joined them.
Bonnie : Hello, we're...
Lily : Witches, I can feel it.
They introduced themselves and explained some parts of the situation. They
didn't know if she was trustworthy.
Lily : I don't like talking about that.
Freya : He's your son, isn't it ?
Lily : she looked down Unfortunatly. I didn't know his father was a demon. I thought he was human but when I gave birth...The baby was different. I loved him but...I had to give him up when he was six.
Bonnie : in a soft tone Why ?
She couldn't imagine abandoning Max. It was tearing her heart apart.
Lily : He was getting dangerous. His powers were out of control her voice died and she wiped a few tears
Freya : What happened to him ?
She could feel the woman's pain but they needed answers and fast.
Lily : Another coven offered to take care of him in Miami. The Angeles.
Freya : she frowned Isn't a nasty one ?
Lily : I-I don't know.
Bonnie : He has mommy's issues I swear.
Freya : His name.
Lily : Ethan Fitzburry if he didn't change it.
Bonnie : You never saw him again ?
Lily : And I'd like to keep it that way. My husband and daughter don't know about my son. It was another life.
Bonnie : We'll keep in touch. Freya ?
Freya : No more questions for now. Thanks for your time.
They left after saying goodbye.
Bonnie : I thought you'd be more vindicative.
Freya : This woman still loves her son no matter what she says. I was smooth because I casted a spying spell. We'll know if he contacts her or if she does or even if she does research about him.
Bonnie : Smooth. You could have been a great leader.
Freya : I'm cunning but not a good enough diplomat. I don't regret my decision.
