Charlene's POV…
Hesitating at the door of the library, I took a deep breath before finally entering. Damon's back was too me so he didn't take notice to me entering the library. As he slipped his leather jacket over his strong shoulder, he slowly turned around and finally noticed me standing there. We stood there staring at each other for what seemed like a long time but it was broken by Damon speaking up.
"I'm gonna have to change the locks," he said to me once he was fully facing me as he tucked the grimoire under his arm.
"That's a nice thing to say to me, thanks Damon," I said sarcastically, giving him a look.
Damon stared at me for a moment before speaking again, "So…did you find them?"
Knowing he was talking about Meg and Lena, I nodded, "Yeah, I did…with Stefan's help."
"Ah brother, ever the white knight," Damon said clearly being sarcastic.
"I convinced Bonnie to help you," I told him softly.
By the look on his face, I could tell that he didn't believe me…at all.
"I doubt that."
I sighed. "Look Damon," I started in the softest voice I could muster which seemed to work because the hard look in his eyes softened. "I know that your still upset with me, I get." I started to walk to the small steps that led to where Damon was standing as I continued, "But I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry we got the grimore without you last night…because I'm not…not really."
"Well at least you're honest."
"I was protecting the people I love Damon," I said as I stepped down the steps, still looking at him as he kept his eyes trained on my face. "But so were you. In your own twisted way. And as hard as it is to figure we're all on the same page, after the same thing."
"Not interested," Damon said in a hard voice as he walked away.
I shook my head looking at him in disbelief. "You're lying," I said bluntly. He turned to face me as I continued, "You are interested because you were willing to work with us yesterday."
He stopped in his tracks and looked at me, "Fool me once, shame on you."
Damon was beginning to frustrate me again…second today… Could he ever not be sarcastic?
"Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use your compulsion on me?" I questioned.
Damon walked closer to me as he said, "Who's to say I didn't?"
"You didn't," I said shaking my head at him. "I know you didn't. But you could have…" I got closer to Damon until I was a eight feet in front him, "You and I…we have something…an understanding…" But I knew deep in my gut that it was something more than just an understanding. I couldn't let him know that there. After a few minutes of silence, I spoke again.
"And I know my betrayal hurt you. Different from how it is with you and Stefan, but I'm promising you this now, I will help you get Abigail back."
"I wish I could believe you," Damon said a little bit sadly.
Without a single thought I took of my vervain necklace and tossed it over to Damon who easily caught. He looked at the necklace then at me in disbelief.
"Fine, you want proof, ask me if I lying now," I said, my lips pursed and my eyes hard.
"Char…"
"No I mean it Damon," I said softly. "Ask me if I'm lying and you'll know the truth."
Damon stepped closer to me until he was a few steps away from me, "You know Anna won't stop by the way, no matter what I do."
I let out a shaky breath as I looked up in his beautiful blue eyes. "Then we'll deal with it," I said.
Without saying anything, Damon went behind me and I stiffened when his body brushed against mine.
"What are you doing?" I asked breathlessly, closing my eyes as I tried to control my breathing.
I felt his hands brush against the back of my neck causing me to shiver and let out another shaky breath.
"Just relax," Damon told me.
A couple minutes later, I felt something cold against my chest and my hand curled around it only to find that it was my necklace. I turned around slowly until I met his eyes again. My lips parted as Damon used his thumb to brush against my bottom lip. Damon stared at me in the eyes and we just gazed at each other for what seemed like forever until Damon spoke up.
"I didn't compel you in Atlanta, because we were having fun," he told me softly, gazing into my blue eyes. "I wanted it to be real." His hands cupped my face and I didn't stop him from doing, I was too enchanted by his eyes to even move an inch of my body, "I'm trusting you." He said still in that soft voice. "Don't make me regret it."
"I promise you won't regret it," I told him in an almost whisper as I continued to look in his eyes, "Thank you for believing me."
Damon's thumb brushed against my lower lip again and I couldn't help a content sigh that escaped my lips at the feeling.
"You're welcome," he said.
We continued to stare at each other. His hands were still cupping my face in a gentle manner and I thought in that moment, I was going to break all the rules by kissing him. I was obviously not thinking straight. But a thought crossed my mind…
'What if he's thinking of Abigail when he's holding my face like this?'
That thought made me break away from him, breaking the moment we were having..
"Um…we should go," I murmured as I quickly walked away not glancing at Damon once.

Damon and I entered the woods where a party was going. Damn. I had forgotten that that Duke dude who went to Duke was having a party.
"Oh man, not good," I groaned to myself as I unconsciously grabbed onto Damon's hand.
Damon looked over at me, an annoyed expression on his face, "What is it now?"
"The Duke party, I forgot about it," I told him. I looked around at the party goers worriedly, "I hope they stay clear of the church."
"Your hope, not mine."
I looked at his exasperatingly, "Really Damon?"
He didn't really have time to say anything when Matt and Caroline appeared.
"Char, hey!" Matt greeted me with a smile. "Where's Meg and Elena?"
"Um…" I fumbled for a moment trying to think of something to tell him when I did, I replied, "Meg forgot something at Elena's house so they went back to get it."
Matt nodded, "Oh got ya."
"Char! Oh my god, where have you been?" Caroline grabbed onto Matt's hand.
'Wow…she still did that even though Elena wasn't here…well she did say that she also did it to annoy Damon' I thought to myself. Out loud I said, "Well I…"
But I didn't have time to finish because Damon interrupted me.
"Long story, no time to tell it," Damon said.
Caroline looked at him annoyed. "I wasn't talking to you," she snapped.
"Sure you were…"
Obviously feeling the tension in the air Matt held out his hand that wasn't being held in a tight grip by Caroline towards Damon, "We haven't met. I'm Matt."
"Matt, there's a reason why we haven't met. We're going this way."
I blushed furiously when Damon's hand slipped out of mine. When did I do that? He grabbed onto my arm, pushing me the other way.
"Hey, watch the arm!" I snapped.
"Char…"
"I'm sorry guys, I'll talk to you later." Once we were away from them, I tore my arm out of Damon's grip and scowled at him, "Can you stop being a jerk for once?"
Damon just smirked at me, "Nope. That's just the way I am, and besides…" He then whispered in my ear, "You like it."
I rolled my eyes. "Oh brother," I said rolling my eyes again. "And for the record I do not."
"Sure you do."
"Just shut up please…"
Megan's POV…
I tapped my foot on the ground as I looked nervously around the old church while Stefan finished digging a way down the tomb.
"Cleared the debris away," he told us as he walked over to two tanks of gasoline. "Set the torches like you asked. We can get down now." He stopped at the gasoline tanks and Bonnie finally noticed them. How she missed them? I couldn't tell you that…
"What is that?" the witch asked.
"It's everything I need to destroy them," Stefan said in reply.
I spoke up causing them to look at me, "Are you sure that Damon will come back with her?"
They didn't have time to answer because Damon and Char appeared.
"Brother, Elena, Megan, witches," Damon greeted with that stupid smirk on his face.
"Jackass," Elena whispered to me.
I giggled as Char rolled her eyes at him before going over to me. We shared a hug before paying attention again. Stefan walked right up to us.
"Are you ok," he asked Char.
"Yeah, I just want to get this dang thing over with," she said. Char then turned and looked at Bonnie and Gran. "Are we ready to do this?" Char asked confidently from beside me.
Bonnie nodded, "Yes."
"Thank god!" I exclaimed causing Char to giggle from beside me.
Charlene's POV...
We all stood in the tomb as Grams prepared for the spell. This was going to be interesting to be actually involved in this.
"This is going to be awesome," Meg said to me in a whisper.
I nodded, watching Grams. She lit a lighter and began lighting the torches around the tomb.
"Air. Earth. Fire." Grams said lighting each torch with those words.
Bonnie handed her a water bottle, "Water."
Grams poured the water all around the spot where the spell was going to take place. Elena spoke up.
"Is that it?" she questioned. "Just water from the tap?"
"As opposed to what?"
Elena shrugged, "I just figured maybe it'd have to be blessed or mystical or something."
"Well this isn't a TV show Elena," Megan said, crossing her arms over her chest as Grams smirked over at Elena.
Damon pulled out a blood bag and I was the first one to notice.
"What's that for?" I asked as Damon looked over at me with a smirk.
"Blood," he simply replied. "It's for Abigail. Gonna have something to get her going." He smiled at me wickedly, "Unless you're offering to tap a vein."
Meg's eyes narrowed at him as she gripped my hand, protectively, "I don't think so," she snapped at him.
Damon just rolled his eyes at her before looking over at his brother, "I bet you can't wait to get rid of me."
"I can't wait to get rid of you."
"Oh what a nice brotherly moment," I said sarcastically.
"We're ready," Bonnie announced from her spot crouched down next to one of the flaming torches.
I smirked, "Let the fun begin…"
Megan giggled and I winked at her.
Third person POV...
Anna and Jeremy stood in the woods a while away from the party. Jeremy was leaning against a tree while Anna stood in front of him, looking around.
"This place is wild," she said, looking at Jeremy.
Jeremy chuckled at her. "You kind of like dead people, huh?" he asked.
Anna smiled, "I'm strange…remember?"
Jeremy smiled before looking over at the party. A worried frown appeared on Anna's lips.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Uh…" Jeremy looked at her and nodded to her question, "Yeah. I'm fine…this place just makes me think about someone."
"A dead someone?"
Jeremy shook his head, "No, no…It's someone I used to know." He changed the subject quickly, not wanting to talk about this anymore, "So, uh, hey, we made it all of what, 37 minutes of that party?"
"Not your scene?"
"I'm not sure what my scene is anymore," Jeremy replied. He smiled at her, "So…what do you say about being a part of my non scene?"
"I would happily be a part of your non-scene except I'm, uh—"Anna bit her bottom lip for a moment before continuing, "I'm leaving…"
Jeremy looked at her surprised and sadly. "Wait, what?" he asked thinking he heard wrong.
"Yeah," Anna said with a nod. "My mom and I are moving away."
"Oh…uh, that's a bummer."
"Yeah…"
"Yeah…" Jeremy repeated not knowing what to say.
"So…I guess this is goodbye," Anna said.
"I guess it is…"
Slowly, they leaned in and their lips met in a kiss. Breaking away, Anna felt her face start to change. Jeremy's eyes widened.
"Your face."
Anna turned away quickly, "I-It's nothing."
"I didn't look like nothing…" That was the last thing that Jeremy Gilbert remembered saying when he was suddenly knocked out by Ben.
Anna glared at Ben, "You didn't have to hit him that hard."
"Yes, I did," Ben said looking at her seriously.
"Grab him and let's go." Anna smirked, "I'm taking him to meet my mother…"
Charlene's POV…
I watched in amazement as Grams and Bonnie held onto each other's hands in the circle, chanting in some strange language.
"What are they saying?" Damon asked near the tomb door.
"Sounds Latin," Stefan replied.
"I don't think it's Latin," Elena disagreed.
Megan, who stood beside, looked thoughtful as she agreed with her boyfriend, "It kind of does sound like Latin."
I just nodded in agreement with everyone, my eyes still trained on Bonnie and Grams as they continued to chant for what seemed like forever. But then suddenly all of the torches burned with intensity causing me to jump and Megan to jump and grab onto Stefan's arm.
"What's happening?" Megan questioned in freaked out voice.
Bonnie and Grams stopped their chanting and the door slowly opened as Stefan shined the light on the door.
"It worked," Bonnie said surprised.
"Of course it worked."
Damon looked at Stefan, "Don't you have fires to built?"
Stefan nodded. "I'm gonna go get the gasoline, I'll be back," he told us.
"Please be careful," Megan pleaded, looking up at Stefan, keeping a firm grip on his arm.
"I'll be fine," Stefan promised, kissing Megan on the forehead.
Meg let go of Stefan's arm and he left the tomb. Damon looked at Bonnie and Gran supiciously like he knew they were up to something.
"You ready?" Damon said to me.
I blinked confused, "Say what?"
"I'm going in there myself so you can seal me in?" he said with a scowl. He pulled ** my arm and pulled me to his side. My arm was throbbing from the pain.
"Again, easy on the arm," I said narrowing my eyes at him.
"Damon don't..." Elena pleaded.
"Don't take her in. I'll break the walls down," Grams threatened at Damon.
"You'll bring the walls down even if I don't think, I trust you," Damon said as he pulled me in front of his body, wrapping both of his arms around my waist.
"As much as I trust you," Grams snapped back.
"Enough both of you!" Elena suddenly exclaimed. In a softer voice, she continued, "Look he needs leverage." She looked at Bonnie and Grams, "He needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside. I get it…But Char's not going with him alone in there. I'll go with them."
My eyes widen when I heard what she said. "Elena you don't have to do this. Damon need only me."
"I'm not letting Damon drag you in there alone. I'm going with you," she said.
Megan shook her head taking a step forward with a confident look on her face, "No Elena, Char's right. you don't have to do this... because i'm going with them and not you."
Elena, Bonnie, Damon, and I were shocked to Meg's statement. Meg hates dark tunnels and she said she'll go in there with Damon and I.
"Meg don't..." said Elena.
"No Meg, you can't…" I started to protest but Megan interrupted me before I could finish.
"Look Char, I was separated from you because Anna kidnapped me like 24 hours ago…" She trailed off, rethinking what she said, "okay! Maybe not 24 hours, but if he's making you go in, so am I. I don't want to be separated from you right now…and there nothing that you or jerk face, can do to make me change my mind."
She crossed her arms in a 'so there' manner as she huffed. I sighed knowing I won't be able to argue with her.
Damon let out a frustrated sigh, "Okay fine…you can come too if you want Princess."
I didn't have to look at Megan's eyes to know that they flashed angrily at the nickname. Given she probably wouldn't mind if Stefan called her that but Damon … well … that was a different story …
"Don't call me Princess," Megan said through gritted teeth.
"Guys please don't do this," Elena said, looking at us pleadingly. "I don't want you guys to get hurt."
Damon's arms loosened around my waist but I didn't take them off of my waist, oddly not wanting to lose the contact.
"Lena we'll be fine," I reassured her.
Megan nodded in agreement with me, "Yeah, we'll be back before you can spell, "Supercalifragilisticexpialid ocious."
I gave her a 'are you kidding me?' look, "Really Meg?"
"What?" Megan protested. "It was the first thing that popped into my head."
I shook my head as Damon removed his arms from around my waist. Elena sighed and stepped back where Bonnie and Grams where. She still had a worried look in her eyes as she watched us walking closer to the enterane to the tomb. Damon grabbed one of the torches from the circle.
"May I?" he asked the witches in a mocking sort of voice.
"Oh Damon, you're a gentleman…not," Megan sarcastically said.
Megan pointed her nose high and was the first one in the tomb. Damon looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders before following Megan in the tomb, knowing that Damon would follow me.
Third person POV…
Stefan bent down to pick up the tanks of gasoline when a familiar voice said,
"Dark down there?"
Stefan looked up and saw none other than Ben. He glanced down at Ben's feel and saw Jeremy lying there unconscious. Stefan looked back up at Ben and his eyes narrowed at the young vampire.
"Thought I told you to leave?" Stefan said.
"I considered, but then I thought…screw you!" Ben snapped out.
"Hey hero."
Stefan turned around at the other familiar voice. It was Anna.
"I'm going to get my mother," she said in a tone that seemed to say 'you don't wanna mess with me'.
"You can't do that," Stefan said as he looked at the young girl intently.
"Well, Ben's about to make a main course out of Elena's brother."
Stefan immediately looked back at Jeremy who was being held by the back of his jacket. He looked back at Anna and she continued.
"So, you can stop me or him. Your choice."
In a blink of an eye, Anna was gone leaving Stefan, Ben, and Jeremy.
Charlene's POV…
Megan clutched my hand tightly as we followed Damon through the tomb to look for Abigail.
"This is scary," she whimpered.
I squeezed her hand reassuringly, "It's going to be fine…I'm right here…"
Megan let out a squeak when the whispers started.
"Damon, what is that?!" I asked nervously, my hand tightening around Megan's. Even though I knew that it was the vampires and that they knew I was here, it was scary to experience firsthand.
"They can sense you," Damon explained as we continued to walk through the tomb.
"Well that's just bloody great! Can they sense us without saying anything?" Megan muttered to herself and I snickered hearing her. Damon rolled his eyes and walked further in front of us.
"Now, where is she?" I heard Damon ask himself.
Then the torch light was gone and Megan let out a scream and I smacked my head.
"It's just and dark tomb, there's nothing to be afraid of...It's just and dark tomb, there's nothing to be afraid of...It's just a... WE'RE GOING TO DIE," Megan screamed out the last thing she said.
I smacked my hand over Meg's mouth to shut her up. 'Great…now we're all alone with dead vampires, and Meg is hyperventalating' I thought to myself grimly. Out loud, I sighed, removed my hand over her mouth and said to Megan, getting the flashlight out from my pocket and shined the flashlight on her face so I could see her better, "Come on…let's go find him."
Megan nodded in agreement as we continued to walk through the dark tomb to find Damon.
Third person POV…
Since Char and Meg went into the tomb with Damon, Elena had been pacing around tomb, hands in her hair while Bonnie and Grams watched as if they were waiting for her to explode. Bonnie has never seen Elena this nervous, but she guesses since Meg and Char are Elena's family, Elena has the right to be nervous for her cousins.
Suddenly, Elena threw her arms up in the air. "THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I'm going after them!" she exclaimed, quickly grabbing one of the two flashlights off of the ground and rushed into the tomb ignoring Bonnie calling her name.
Bonnie sighed. As soon as she did this, Anna appeared in the tomb. The witch's eyes narrowed at the girl.
Bonnie took a step forward. "Hey, you're not going in there!" she exclaimed.
Anna's own eyes narrowed at the witch, "You think you can stop me?"
Before Bonnie could even say anything, Grams said her name. She looked at her Grams to see that her grandma was giving her a look and closing her eyes in defeat, Bonnie backed down. Cautiously at first, Anna slowly made her way to the other flashlight. She grabbed it quickly and raced into the tomb. After she was gone, Bonnie immediately spoke.
"Why did you let her go in?" she asked with wide eyes.
"Because she isn't coming out, none of them are."
-0-
"Do you really think that she cares about you?" Stefan questioned after a few minutes of staring at each other. Ben didn't say anything just stared at him blank, "Hm? You're disposable to her."
"You know what, I already got enough grief about this from your precious Megan, so I don't need it from you," Ben said annoyed. Stefan glared at Ben when he mentioned his girlfriend. Ben smirked at Stefan and said, "And besides she already gave me what I want."
"Are you going to say eternal life?" Stefan asked amused. "You really that stupid?"
Ben continued to smirk at Stefan as he walked closer to the youngest Salvatore, "You know I've heard about you." He stopped walking and continued with the smirk still on his face, "You don't feed. You're not strong enough to beat me."
With that, he rushed towards Stefan using his vampire speed. But Stefan was faster and flipped Ben over on his back. Ben was quick to get up.
"Is that you got?" he asked, mockingly.
"No I got this…"
Stefan lit up the gasoline torch and the fire sprayed all Ben causing the boy to scream out in agony as he moved around really fast to get rid of the fire. But it didn't work out for him because Ben fell to the ground dead as the fire continued to burn him.
Charlene's POV…
As we continued to walk down the dark tomb, Megan began singing under her breath…something that she did whenever she was nervous. I was so used to it that I never noticed her doing. But since it was so silent, I could hear her doing it.
"Meg, not that I don't like your singing, but can you stop?" I asked, flashing the flashlight on Megan briefly to only see her looking at me sheepishly.
"Sorry," she apologized.
I chuckled, "It's alright."
The whispers began again suddenly causing Megan to squeak and squeeze my hand tighter. She began glancing around nervously as I led her down the tomb. The whispers stopped and Megan let go of my head, going ahead of me.
Then all of the sudden there was another noise but it wasn't a whisper. I didn't know it was, but it sounded like someone was moving. Who would be...
"Ow!" Two voices screeched. One was Megan and someone else.
Lifting up the flashlight, I shined it on whoever had screamed 'Ow' at the same time as Megan…
"Elena?" I said surprised.
Elena waved at us sheepishly, "Hey guys."
Megan blinked at her, "Elena…what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't just leave you alone with Damon. I don't trust him," Elena explained. "So I came here to find you guys."
"Yeah…well as you can tell Damon's not here," I said, rolling my eyes. I sighed, "We need to find a way to get out of here."
Elena and Megan nodded in agreement. We turned around to go in the other derection when my flashlight shined on Anna. As quick as lighting, we turned around and ran in the other direction.
Third person POV...
Stefan came back to the tome only to be alarmed when Elena, Meganand Char were nowhere in sight. The only people that were there was Grams and Bonnie.
"Where's Elena, Char, and Megan?" Stefan demanded of the two witches.
"Damon took Char and Megan inside," Bonnie said with a sigh. "Then Elena went after them."
"What?!" Stefan exclaimed starting to rush for the door but was stopped by Grams grabbing on his arm.
"Stefan! If you go in there, you won't come out."
Stefan looked at Grams suspiously. "What did you do?"
Grams sighed, "Opening the door didn't remove the seal, it just opened the door."
"What's the seal?" Stefan questioned.
"Some seals keep vampires from entering but this one…keeps them from coming out."
Stefan thought out loud to him, "Meg, Char, and Elena are human so they can get out. But Abigail cant. Damon can't." He looked at Grams with his eyes widened with shock, "You were never planning on breaking the spell, were you?"
"I told you," Grams said sternly as she went to stand in front of Bonnie who was looking a little nervous. "I protect my own. Charlene, Megan, and Elena can get out. That's all that matters."
Charlene's POV…
'Well running away was a mistake' I thought to myself with a sigh as we took a step back from Anna.
She had caught up…which really stunk. I thought we could get away with it but I guess not.
"You three must have the taste for it," Anna said with a smirk. "You three scream and shriek, and you guys just come right back to it."
Megan let out a sudden screech almost falling to the ground which thankfully I caught her before she could fall.
"What is it?" I asked concerned.
She pointed and I shined the flashlight on a woman who I instantly knew as Pearl…Anna's mother.
"Mother!" Anna exclaimed, going over to her mother and placed her hands on her shoulders. She looked back at us with a glare on her face…well actually the glare was mostly pointed at Megan, "Your boyfriend did this."
"Hey, it's not his fault that his father was a psycho!" Megan protested. "Stefan's father was the one who did this!"
"And Jonathan Gilbert," Anna sneered, her glare turning to Elena. She stood up suddenly causing us back away a couple steps, "I made a choice a long time ago that it would be Gilbert blood that brought her back to life. I had Jeremy all ready to go but…"
"Run Elena!" I yelled.
Before the brunette could do just that, Anna grabbed onto her wrist and bit into making her scream at the top of her lungs.
"Elena," I screamed.
I ran to Anna and pulled on her hair. I know what you're thinking, but I was trying to distract her away from Elena. It worked until Anna used her free hand and pushed me away from her. The push was so hard, because of her vampire strengh, I flew and hit my head on the tomb wall. I was seeing spots as I tried to get up and balance myself. I could hear Elena was begging Anna to let her go as Anna dragged elena closer to Pearl.
"No!" Megan screamed, trying to pull Elena away from Anna's grip but Anna was too strong and she pushed Elena to Pearl and forced her wrist to her mom's mouth. I would have helped, but my head was still hurting me. Man, I hate Anna right now. All of a sudden, I heard a voice that I was really happy to hear.
"Let her go!"
"Stefan!" Megan and I exclaimed happily.
Stefan ran to where Anna was holding Elena and he push Anna away from her. My head was feeling better, so I ran to Elena to make sure she was ok.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered.
Stefan interuppted us because we had to get out of the tomb right now.
"Go! I'm right behind you!"
We nodded our heads and ran back to the entrance of the tomb where Bonnie and Grams were waiting for us who immediately looked up at her entrance.
"Guys, Stefan—" Bonnie started to say.
Megan interrupted her, breathlessly, "He's right behind us."
It was then I remembered what Bonnie was trying to say. Stefan…he couldn't get out…Grams never broke the spell. Elena, Megan, and I turned around only to see Stefan at the entrance. Megan looked confused as to why Stefan wasn't coming out. Her eyes then widened and I knew that she realized what happened.
"No," she whispered out. She got closer to Stefan, "What's going on?"
"I can't get out," Stefan answered sadly.
"The spell's still up," Bonnie suddenly said and I looked at her. "We can't get them out."
Then I realized who was still in the tomb. "Damon," I breathed. "Stefan, we can't leave him in there. We proised him…both of us."
Stefan nodded, "I know."
"Even if we're able to break through the seal, we won't be able to hold it for long," Grams said.
"We've got to try," I said.
Stefan nodded in agreement. "I'm going to go find him," he told us.
"I'm going with you," I announced. Stefan looked ready to protest, but I interrupted him before he could even get a word in, "No…I'm going in there and you can't stop me."
Stefan sighed, "Fine. Come on."
We both entered the tome to find Damon as Megan called out to us,
"Be careful!"
-0-
We found Damon and I managed to convince him to leave the tomb. And finally…it was all over. I sighed from my spot in a crouch postion in front of Jeremy. I stood up and saw that Damon had exited the tomb and I was now standing alone.
"Oh Damon," I whispered, wanting to go over there and hug the pain away.
Megan nudged me in the side and I looked over at her.
"Go to him," she told me in a soft voice.
I nodded looking at her sort of confused. I then got up and walked over to Damon. When he noticed me, I threw my arms around him in a tight hug. His arms slipped around my waist, surprisingly hugging me back.
"I'm so sorry Damon," I whispered.
Damon didn't say anything. I pulled back from the while still keeping my arms around his neck. Looking into his eyes, I knew then that I had a crush on Damon Salvatore.
-0-
"YOU HAVE A WHAT?!"
I winced at how loud Megan's voice when I told her what I realized. We were sitting on the bed in the guest bedroom after everything that happened in the tomb.
"I said, I have a crush on Damon Salvatore," I said slowly.
Megan then blinked at me. "Well, I guess it makes why you would," she told me oddly calm.
I raised an eyebrow at her, "What do you mean?"
"Well, you did obsess over Damon while we watched the TV show," Megan said bluntly.
"No I wasn't," I protested. "I just thought he was kind of cute…in a bad boy way."
Megan giggled, "Alright if you say so."
I rolled my eyes. "Let's just go to bed," I told her.
"Okay…have sweet dreams of your Damon Salvatore," Megan teased.
I smacked her lightly on the head causing her to laugh. With a quick hug, we got under the covers and fell into a deep sleep, not knowing that Grams had died and Elena and Bonnie were in a tight embrace with Bonnie sobbing.
TBC...
