Addison Gilbert POV*

The first thing that popped into my head when I woke up probably isn't anything that you would assume. Because the first thing that did was that some ice cream would be pretty good right now. But after that naïve thought, I caught a whiff of must... and I remembered that this isn't my bed, and I also realized that there was someone in bed next to me

I slightly opened my eyes and looked over to my side, and repressed a sigh of relief when I saw that it was only my twin in bed with me. When I was done ogling the sleeping girl, I took my time to glance around the room, and spotted a kinda familiar guy asleep in an uncomfortable position on a chair.

And while I was staring at the guy, Lena began to wake up, so I placed my hand over her mouth to prevent her from making any noise. Her eyes shot open, and the zeroed in on my face, once I was sure she wouldn't scream at me I slowly took my hand away while gesturing over to where the dude was asleep on the chair.

When she took in the situation we had a little silent conversation, which ended up with the both of us quietly getting up and slowly maneuvering ourselves to the door. I kept my eye on the guy on the guy while Lena removed the chain and moved towards the deadbolt. Both of us got ready to get the hell out of here as fast as we could, and the second we looked away, there was arms coming around my torso and yanking me back roughly.

"I wouldn't." The guy spoke, making me figure out who it was that the guy holding my twin and myself captive was none other then Ben McKittrick. That fucker.

Lena gasped and did a full 180 to face us. Ben tossed me aside for the moment and moved closer to Lena, and tried to compel her, "Don't try to escape. Don't even move. Do you understand?"

"I understand." He's McDumbass if he really believed that, but, whatever man.

Benny-Boo then turned his attention to me, and proceeded to try the same thing, "Do the same, understand?" He then yanked me off of the floor and made me stand by Lena.

"Yes, I understand." I said in a way more believing tone, damn, I should be an actor or something, I'd make so much money.

McDick scoffed at us and turned, opening the mini fridge, giving us the opportunity to swing the door open and try to bolt. However, for the second time today, the escape plan was foiled by a bitch ass vampire. The chick that was outside of the door grabbed Lena by the hair while simultaneously using the stupid vamp strength to throw me back. The hell is everyone being so shovey today?

"Seriously?!" The vamp bitch asked aggressively.

I slowly started to get up as the washed up jock answered her, " I told her not to move! I did that eye thing that you taught me!"

"And forgot the lesson about vervain!" What a dumbass, "She dates a vampire, Ben. And the little one is basically Damon's pet! Duh!" Excuse you sweetheart, that is some bullshit.

I chose this time to make the situation worse for myself because I am thoroughly pissed with how my day has been going in the short amount of time that I've been awake, "Well he used to be a high school jock, you cant really expect too much from him."

Nothing bad happened though, Ben curled his lip at me and the girl actually let out a small laugh, I have no idea if it was of amusement or disbelief, either way I really don't care. She then shoved the twin against the wall while she opened the bathroom door.

"Who are you? What do you want?" If Lena keeps it up with the questions, she might just end up with a chunk of her neck missing.

"Does it matter?" Bitchy chick asked before forcefully shoving Lena into the bathroom, and if I wasn't such a good person, I'd probably laugh at the noise that came out of her mouth while she fell. Then attention was on me, "I can see why Jeremy talks about you in such high fashion," She moved, making the path to the bathroom open, "After you."

I drifted towards the door, trying to figure out if her talking to my emo little bro is a really bad thing of a slightly bad thing. Once I was inside the bathroom safely the door was slammed shut, causing me to jump. Lena then flipped on the lights, while I examined the room.

Both Lannie Girl and I noticed the familiar body of Bon Bon in the bath tub at the same time. Lena rushed over to her while I went over to the sink and grabbed a washcloth to wet with cold water to put on her head. I then brought the cloth over and handed it to my sister, then sat down beside her.

I let out an audible sigh of relief when I noticed Bonnie opening her eyes. Lena was on top of the situation, "Bonnie?"

Bonnie looked around confused, "Elena? Addie?"

I gave her a comforting smile, "Yeah, hey Bon."

Lena on the other hand, "Oh, you're okay!" Not so comforting.

"My head..." Cinnabon groaned while reaching for her forehead.

Lena and I shared a look before she moved forward, "Come here." And then pulled Bonnie up, so she was sitting in the tub instead of laying.

Then it seemed that something clicked in her mind, "Oh my god! Ben is a-!"

Lena cut her off with a shush as I added, "A dumbass? Agreed."

Bonnie gave me a wide eyed look, like she couldn't believe I would say that... well believe it honey, I've had about enough of being dragged places and into situations I don't wanna be in. Lena also gave he her special hairy eyeball that is reserved for just me, before telling Bon, "They can hear." While pointing to her ear and over to the door.

I sat back, getting comfy against the wall as Lena got up and turned on the sink. When she was back kneeling by Bonnie, the witch finally spoke up, "I'm so stupid!" Just a little.

"No, he had all of us fooled!" Lena tried telling her to get her to calm down.

It didn't really work, "What's going on? Why are we here?"

"It must have something to do with the tomb and Emily's spell book." Oh of course, because what isn't about that lately.

Bonnie looked confused, "Spell book?"

"Grimoire." I added, think maybe she was confused because of the wording... She wasn't.

So Lena took a shot at the explaining, "Damon said it could be used to open the tomb."

"Why didn't I know about any of this?" Because Elena is very controlling.

I rolled my eyes as Lena started to say, "I was trying to keep you out of it, hoping it would never come to this." See? Controlling.

"Come to what?"

"They wanna use you and your ju ju to preform the spell." I informed lazily, while checking my hair for split ends.

"They need a witch to break the spell and let the vampires out." Lena elaborated when the witch hadn't said anything.

"No way!" The girl said after it finally sunk in.

"I know." Lena said while I nodded, not looking up at the other two.

I surprised myself when I didn't jump as McDumbass busted his way through the door. I suppressed a giggle though then Lena stepped in front of Bon Bon like she would stand a chance against a vampire. I sat back and calmly watched as he turned off the tap, and when he turned back around Bonnie spoke, "You're wasting your time. I'm not gonna help you."

I narrowed my eyes at the vamp as her grabbed Lena away from Bonnie, "That's why she's here. Motivation for you to behave. You know, you shouldn't be so desperate. You made it too easy."

Ben then pushed Lena out of the room before turning back, probs for me, but before the dude could man handle me I was already up, and trying to get around him. When he reached for my arm to try and grab it, I pulled back and said, "Now Benny-Boo, no need to be an asshole," in my mom voice, and walked right past him into the room.

"She wants to talk to you." Ben said before shutting himself in the bathroom. I threw him the middle finger before he was completely outta sight. That's a win in my opinion.

I calmly stood to the right of my twin, keeping my eyes on the vampire teen with a strange taste in clothes. The girl and I locked eyes and then she started to talk. "Well, well. Elena Gilbert. You really are Katherine's doppelgänger. You must have the Salvatore boys reeling. Except, little twin Addison here somehow has love sick Damon Salvatore wrapped around her little finger, much to your distaste." She smirked at me before taunting Lena more, "Am I wrong?"

I raised an eyebrow at her interpretation of our lives, but didn't comment when Lena asked, "Who are you?"

The girl didn't drop her smirk, "I'm Anna. Your brother may have mentioned me. I mean, we're like, practically dating." The last part she said with fake teenage girl excitement.

"Sorry Annabitch, lil b hasn't mention you to me at all, hope you don't feel the sting of that." I told her sarcastically, earing a look from Lena and a laugh from the vamp I just taunted.

"God, you really do have balls, no wonder your Jeremy's favorite. Your little girl is gonna be a handful if she take after you or her father." At the end she and I shared a knowing look, though she was smirking, and I was making sure she saw how dramatic I was rolling my eyes.

Anna walked to the window, and took a glance out the curtains. That's when Lena decided to speak up, "Bonnie's not gonna open the tomb."

This earned my twin quite the devilish smirk, "Oh, I think she will."

"Do you really want Katherine out that bad?" I don't think anyone but Damon really wants her out of the tomb... Like anyone. At all.

Then Anna gave me a 'are you serious look' to which I just shrugged, then she turned her look to Lena, "Trust me. No one I know wants to see that girl again. Except Damon..." But that's when I started speaking in sync with the vampire.

"...the lovestruck idiot." Lena flipped her confused eyes between Anna and myself, before glaring at me for being a smartass towards her.

Once Lena was done, and had sufficiently killed me with her brain, "Then what is it? Or who is it?"

"That's kinda personal Lena. Would you want someone prying into your private business?"

Anna doesn't seem to mind her being bitchy though, "My mother's in there." She paused and walked closer to us. "Katherine couldn't help herself. She just had to toy around with both of the Salvatore brothers. And when she got caught, so did my mother. I watched Johnathan Gilbert take her away."

"Kathrine sounds like a bitch." I stated.

The twin slapped my shoulder before trying to sound as sincere as possible, "I'm sorry."

Anna rolled her eyes, "You really mean that, don't you?" she paused and chuckled, "Yeah, I think we'll skip the dead mom bonding so you can start serving a purpose."

"Which one of us?" I asked while Lena asked, "Which is what?"

"Leverage. Both of you." She answered, and picked up a phone... actually I think that's Elena's phone, and asked, "This belong to you?" Lena jumped forward, trying to snatch it form her, but Anna was too quick. Surprising right, I mean she's only like a maybe 200 or more year old vampire! Lena will never learn.

"Ah-ah!" The vampire teased as she walked across the room and dialed a number into the phone. I couldn't hear whoever answered, but I assume it was on of the brothers, most likely Stef seeing as it's Lena's phone Anna is calling off of.

"They're fine. For now. Tell me you have the grimoire and they'll stay fine." The curly haired vamp spoke into the phone.

I sat quietly as I waited for Stefmiester to answer the girl, "Which means your brother has it. And I have the witch. So one of you had better meet me in the very public town square in 30 minutes so we can safely discuss how fun it's gonna be to work together."

After Anna hung up she knocked on the bathroom door and stated, "I'm leaving." Which was shortly followed by McDoofus opening the door and leading Bon Bon out of the bathroom. "Keep them buttoned down. Compulsion won't work. Just use violence." She ordered.

Ben nodded, "Right. I got that."

Then boss lady was gone, and Bon was shoved onto the bed with me, "Sit. Behave." His dark eyes moved to Bonnie, "So you're the key to this. Literally. The one who opens the door. Tell me, how long have you been a witch?" Bon didn't answer though, and I cant decide if that was smart or stupid.

I was picking at my nails to pass the time when Lena asked, "Is there anything to drink here?"

Ben shot up and walked towards, "Are you offering?" Que my eyeroll, so predictable from a vamp, "There's water on the night stand."

Lena picked up the water while giving Benny-Boo a glare, and as she started to take a sip Bonnie spoke up, "Hey. Can I have a sip?"

I flipped my gazes between the two girls, understanding why Bon wants the water so bad, and I was internally hoping Lena did too. She moved the glass away from her mouth and handed the object to Bonnie, who right away threw the liquid inside on Ben. We all started getting up and running to the door after Bon turned the water into fire, hoping to get away while he was distracted.

Bonnie made it to the door and got it open before I was thrown back and he wrapped his arms around Elena, stopping her from getting out. "Come back in! Shut the door!" He shouted at her while non verbally threatening my twin, causing Bonnie to slip back into the room, not wanting Elena to get hurt.

"Don't hurt her!" She pleaded once she was fully back into the room.

I was just getting up when Ben yelled back, "Don't make me!" Bonnie shut the door behind her and deadbolted it after Ben ordered, "Lock it!"

Well, that could've gone better.

3rd POV*

An irritated Damon watched from across the way as the girl he was acquainted with back in 1864 spoke to Addison's little brother, trying to get rid of him. He just came from the Gilbert household, looking to check on Chloe, knowing her mother was a bit tied up at the moment. And he was relieved when he found that Jenna had gotten her up and was feeding her some gross looking baby food.

Coming out of his thoughts, he finally made his move as the boy left and Anna sat down onto a bench. He appeared beside her and sarcastically asked her, "Got a hot date or are you just plan on nabbing the entire Gilbert family?" So he's a little salty that she kidnapped the mother of his recently revealed daughter, sue him.

"A party, right next to the old cemetery. Isn't that nice of them? Lots of warm bodies for starving vampires." Was how she answered, which only served as a good way to piss him off more.

He suppressed a growl as he told her, "I told you. I work alone."

"Yeah, so do I. But your minus a witch and I'm minus a spell book. So what do you say?"

What to do, what to do? Ah, threaten, "Stefan will come after you, you know that. For messing with Elena." And he himself will come after the girl if she so much as touched one hair on Addison's pretty little head.

"Then he won't be to happy if I kill her when I don't get what I want." She then smirked up at the man sitting beside her, "And I doubt you'll be too happy if your baby mama isn't breathing when little Chloe says her first word." And with that she started getting up and walk away.

Damon scrunched his face up in thought, before he sighed in defeat, "When do you want to do this?"

The girl turned, laughing at Damon, "Your so worried about this girl, but you plan on leaving her here with no protection when you get Kathrine. God, it's like 1864 all over again. You Salvatores are truly pathetic when it comes to women." On the inside she felt for the poor teen mom, but she also knows its none of her business, "Tonight. After sundown. Meet at the church."

Then Anna left Damon sitting there on the park bench to think about how his choices will effect the two girls he was going to be leaving behind once he got what he wanted. Now that he has both Chloe and Addison, how will he be able to be away from him... No. No.

Kathrine is all he needs. He sighed again, and got up, also leaving.

Addison Gilbert POV*

Elena, Cinnamon Bon, and myself were all back to our rightful spots on the bed while Ben paced around in front of us pissed off. "Witches don't have eternal life, right? So you guys can die." Why does it matter McDickhead?

"Yep. We can die." Bon informed the Dracula wanna be dryly. You go Bon Bon!

"Ah. That sucks." And as he said that the door was kicked open, and Benny-Boo started screaming as the room was consumed by sunlight, and dove between the room's two beds.

Lena yelled, "Stefan!" When she realized that he was out savior.

Then Bon and Lena were out the door, yet I stayed behind for a few seconds. I took a step towards the hiding vamp and spat out, "Ah. That sucks McDumbass." And then I swiftly turned and went outside, joining my two fellow kidnappees.

—~•+•~—

Once we were free, we all went to Grams' house. As of right now, I'm sitting at a table with Bonnie and Grams, while they speak.

"How did you know where we were?" Bon asked, with a voice full of curiosity, and I wont lie, I'm a little curious about that myself.

"Many things can fuel a witches power. Worry. Anger. After Stefan told me they had taken you, I had a lot of both. Simple locater spell was easy after that." Grams explained with that super soothing voice of hers.

Bon Bon sighed and looked down, "I'm sorry. About all of this."

Grams gave her a smirk, "Not as sorry as they're gonna be." Umm, okay then.

Ah, Lena, Stef perfect timing kids, "So what do we do now?"

"Well, for now, you need to stay here." No way Jose.

"A prisoner, in my own home? I don't think so." Get it Granny!

"Yeah and I want my daughter." I informed the forever 17 year old as I leaned back into my seat.

Stefmiester glanced between the two of us, "I can't protect you if you leave the house."

"We'll protect ourselves." Hell Yeah!

Lena chose this time to shove little pieces of shrapnel into my chest, "We need to let him have Katherine back. He's not going to stop until he gets her. If we help him, maybe that ends it."

"No! He doesn't deserve to get what he wants." I winced, and held back the urge to defend the man in question.

"Do we really have another option?" I asked, while Lean glanced between myself and her boy toy.

"Witches being pulled down by vampire problems. As much as we tried to do to stay out of it. I'll open the tomb. You get your brother's girl and destroy the rest with fire. Then this will be all over." Why do I feel like this isn't a good idea at all?

"We still have to get Damon to agree." Stef pointed out.

Lena pipped up, "He already agreed once."

"Yeah, and then we double crossed him. So now he's angry."

"He's hurt. There's a difference. I think I know what I have to do." Bitch you wont do shit.

I then spoke my piece, "Yeah, you'll do nothing." Lena cut me a glare, "You forget that he was crossed by you two, not me. Plus, he doesn't even like you Lena."

I then proceeded to get up, and head outside, to wait for Stefan to come drive me home.

—~•+•~—

After Stefan dropped me off at the house, I hurried up and got changed, and put Chloe into a lot warmer clothes. I quickly packed her diaper bag, and set out to Jenna's car to go drive to the Salvatore Boarding House where I knew Damon would be.

When I walked in Damon was putting on his leather jacket, getting ready to leave. I loudly cleared my throat to get his attention, even though I know he already knows I'm here. I shifted Chloe as I made my way further into the room.

I found myself holding my breath as he looked up at me, "You're okay?" I couldn't tell if that was a question or not so I just nodded. "You stage a jailbreak?"

I followed his every move with his eyes, while Chloe babbled a bit to herself in my arms. After he picked up the grimoire I answered, "Stefan got Grams to preform a locator spell on Bonnie."

"Ah, brother. Ever the white knight." I sighed and moved closer to him.

"Not everyone wants the shiny knight, some people like the bad guys." Our eyes locked when I was finally in front of him.

Chloe reached up for him automatically, when she realized who he was, "Hey princess." He said as he lifted her from my arms and into his.

I let a small smile grace my face at the pair before I let the bomb drop, "Bonnie is willing to help you. I talked everyone into it with the help of Lena."

"I doubt that." He said as he settled Chloe on his hip, so I grabbed his hand to try and add emphasis to my next words.

"I'm not gonna say that I'm not gonna be upset when your gone after you get Kathrine. I'm sorry that Lena and Stefan lied to you, but I'm not them. And I'm not going to try to sat that they're sorry for doing it, because they aren't."

"Well, at least you're honest." He said, squeezing my hand.

"I know your protecting the people you love your own way. I know how bad you want her back, and I get that. And as hard as it is to figure, we're all on the same side, after the same thing."

He sighed, and leaned down, resting his forehead on mine, causing me to close my eyes and take a deep breath at how close we were. "Baby, you know that Anna isn't gonna stop her little crusade, no matter what I do."

I groaned a bit at the nickname and slightly nodded, "We'll deal with her when we have to."

He moved back, putting space between us, but not before placing a lingering kiss on my hairline, making me wanna squeal like a typical teenage girl in these situations. "Alright girls, what are we waiting for?" He asked rhetorically and proceeded to grab my hand and lead to way out to Jenna's car.

And once we were all strapped in and ready to go we were off.

—~•+•~—

When we arrived to the party we were met by Lena, "The Duke party. I forgot. I hope they stay clear of the church." She said as we made out way farther into the woods. Damon was carrying Chloe's car seat because my Little Bug fell asleep on our way here, which is something she always does during a car ride.

Damon's hold on my hand tightened the slightest bit when he answered, "Your hope, not mine."

I took the silence that followed to take in my surroundings, and let out the lightest moan of displeasure when I spotted Care and Matt coming up to us, "Elena, hey!" What am I blue eyes? Chopped liver?

Caroline in her jealousy, gotta love it, pipped up right after Matty boy, "Elena! Addison! Oh my God, where have you been?" Her eyes went to Chloe car seat on Damon arm, "Why is Chloe here?"

"We aren't gonna be here long," I answered while Care gripped Matt's hand, mostly to stake her claim over Mr. Mattchew.

Damon rolled his eyes, "Long story, no time to tell it."

"I wasn't talking to you." Care told him with a vicious glare on her face.

"Sure you were." After he said that I squeezed his hand, trying to let him know that we really needed to get going.

The raven haired man glanced down at me, but before we could start to leave Matt spoke to Damon, "We haven't met. I'm Matt."

As Matt stuck his hand out Damon didn't even glance at it, "Matt, there's a reason we haven't met. You and I are going that way." And with that we were heading to the church ruins.

I gave a small wave behind me and Lena yelled out to them, "Ah, I'm sorry, guys."

When our little group approached the ruins Damon whistled, alerting everyone of our arrival, "Brother. Witches." Damon walked by everyone, hand still in mine, the grimoire resting in Chloe's car seat, and he led me down the stairs to the tomb with him.

Once all of us were at the tomb, Damon with an alert Chloe, Lena, Stef, and myself were all watching from the entrance as Grams and Bon were setting up for the spell. "Air. Earth. Fire." Grams spoke.

"Water." Bonnie finished, holding up a bottle of water that Grams took from her and starting sprinkling in onto the floor.

Lena gave a look of confusion at the witch family, "That's it? Just water from the tap?"

I raised an eyebrow at the twin at the same time that Grams did, "As opposed to what?"

"I just figured maybe it would have to be blessed or mystical or something." I let out a small laugh at her as Grams just smirked at her.

After all of that, Damon walked up to me and placed my giggly girl into my awaiting arms, before he pulled what looked like a blood bag out of his pocket and started to unravel it. Stefan seemed to notice it as well, "What's that?"

"It's for Katherine. Gotta have something to get her going. Unless your girl's offering a vein to tap." He smirked at his own joke and looked back at Lena who shot him an unamused. Stef sighed and looked away, causing Damon to look over at him, "Admit it - you can't wait to get rid of me."

Stefmiester chuckled, "I can't wait to get rid of you."

The man hummed at his brother while he reached his hand down and ruffled my hair.

Bonnie looked up from what she had just done on the ground and announced, "We're ready."

Damon walked over to the tomb opening and inspected it while Bon Bon and Grams were reciting the spell, and he spoke up, "What are they saying?"

"Sounds Latin." Stef guessed.

"I don't think it's Latin." Lena added after that.

I myself added my own piece, "And I don't care."

We were then quiet, save for the chanting of the witches, and when the torches flared up Lena grabbed Stefan's arm, and I gasped, finding my hold on my little stink bug tightening. "What's happening?" Lena asked, and she was answered when the door to the tomb started to creak open super ominously.

And after it opened all the way, Bonnie and Grams stopped chanting and Bon exclaimed, "It worked!"

I looked between the two witches as Grams told her granddaughter, "Of course it worked."

From Damon's position by the tomb door and told his younger brother, "We have some fires to build."

Stef nodded and turned to his girlfriend, telling her, "I'm gonna go get the gasoline, I'll be right back."

Lena nodded at him and he then went up out of the tomb, and once he was gone Damon looked between everyone around the tomb, before settling on Lena, " You ready?"

"What?" Lena and I both asked at the same time.

Damon turned his attention to Bonnie and Grams, "You think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?" He then grabbed Elena, getting ready to drag her into the tomb with him.

I just watched with wide eyes as Grams told him, "Don't take her in. I'll bring the walls down."

"You'll bring the walls down if I don't." He spat, "You think I trust you?"

"As much as I trust you." She spat right back.

"Ladies, lets take a deep breath and stop the fighting, please." I tried my best to get them to stop, because all of the arguing was causing Chloe to start to whimper a bit.

"Enough. Both of you." Lena ground out, "Look, he needs leverage. He needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside. I get it. I'll go."

Damon snatched a torch from the circle before asking Lena, "May I?" And when Lena agreed, he went into the tomb, shortly followed by my controlling twin.

Maybe five minutes after Damon and Elena disappeared into the tomb, a familiar head of curly hair coming down the stairs. Before Anna could fully enter the tomb Bonnie spoke up, trying to stop her, "Hey, you're not going in there!"

Anna gave her a glare, "You think you can stop me?"

I observed the scene before me, confused when Grams stopped Bonnie from preventing Anna from entering the tomb. "Bonnie..." I leaned against the wall and watched as Anna picked a flashlight off the ground and ran into the tomb.

"Why did you let her go in?" Bon flipped around and asked her grandmother voice laced in agitation.

And what Grams said made my blood run cold, "Because she isn't coming out, baby. None of them are."

"What are you talking about?" I grumbled, setting Chloe into her car seat and moved closer to the two witches. Grams just raised a challenging eyebrow at me, and before I could pop off, Stefan came back down into the tomb.

"Where's Elena?" He asked when he realized she wasn't here.

I shot a death glare at Grams while Bonnie answered him, "Damon took her inside."

"What?" He yelled shocked, but as he started to go to the tomb to go get her, Grams grabbed his arm to stop him from doing so.

"Stefan! If you go in there, you won't come out."

Stef has about the same look on his face that I did when I heard the news, "What did you do?"

I walked over to Stefan to stand beside him as Grams explained what she had done, "Opening the door didn't remove the seal, it just opened the door."

I held back the urge to attack her for doing this to Damon after everything, and right under our noses no less. "What's the seal?"

Grams shifted her eyes to me, then back to the younger Salvatore brother, "Some seals keep vampires from entering. This one keeps them from coming out."

"Lena's human, so she can get put, but everyone else. Damon, Anna, Kathrine, Anna's mom, they cant." I venomously said to no one in particular.

"You were never planning on breaking the spell, were you?" Stef accused the women.

Grams didn't have the decency to look sorry when she settled her gaze on me, and I know for a fact I probably look like I'm either gonna cry or go fuck shit up somewhere. "I told you. I will protect my own. Elena can get out. That's all that matters." She said it to Stefan, but she never took her eyes off of me.

Then we all heard an echoed scream coming from the tomb that sounded a lot like my twin, and the next thing I know, Stefan was racing into the tomb to go save her. I stood at the entrance of the series of tunnels and ignored the pair of witches while Bonnie tried to convince Grams to lift the seal so Stefmiester could get out.

I stood in the entrance for who knows who long, and I didn't move until Lena came barreling out of the tomb. "Elena, Stefan..." Bonnie started trying to break the news to Lena that her boyfriend wasn't gonna be able to get out of the tomb.

Yet, Lena cut her off, "He's right behind me." But when she looked back he was just standing where I had been previously, not being able to come back in, "Stefan, what are you doing?" she asked, walking over to him worried.

"It's gonna be okay. We'll fix it, "Bonnie tried assuring her from her spot beside Grams.

"What is it?" She basically demanded of the vamp.

"I cant." was all he said.

"Can't? Can't what?"

"He cant leave the tomb because the seal is still there keeping him in." I informed, placing a comforting hand o her shoulder

She shrugged my hand off, "You went in there not knowing if you could come back out?" And when Stef didn't answer her and just looked down she exclaimed, "Oh, my God."

And when everything turned sappy, I tuned them out and made my way to Chloe, picking her up, but I tuned in again when Grams said, "Even if we're able to break through the seal, we wont be able to hold it for long.

I just stood there and mentally crossed my fingers, hoping that both of the boys will get out of this, when Stefan went back into the tomb to try and find Damon. I stayed in the same spot, bouncing Chloe on my hip to keep myself from going crazy with worry.

Bonnie and Grams were chanting the spell as Lena impatiently did laps around them, and when the torches flare she stated, "I think it's working."

And not two seconds later Anna exited the tomb with a women, probably her mother, and she looked between Lena and Myself, "I just wanted my mother back." But then she was talking right to me. "Jeremy's fine. He's outside. I won't touch him. I'm sorry." And with that, they both left.

And when the torches began to falter I put Chloe into Lena's arms, not caring if she wanted to hold her or not, and sprinted into the tomb, trying to find Stefan and Damon. And when I finally found them I found Damon roughly shoving his younger brother from him.

I came towards him until I was directly in front him, "Damon, please! She isn't worth it." I cupped his cheeks, trying to get him to lock eyes with me, "We need to get out of here fast."

He slowly looked into my eyes, before nodding and muttering, "Yeah, okay."

Then I was scooped into his arms as he vamp sped out of there, and once we were out, he stopped for a few seconds to pick up Chloe's car seat where it seems Lena put her back into after I had left, an then we were in the chilly night air.

He set me down on the grass and I ran over to my baby bro who was just waking up. "Jer?"

"Addie?" He asked disoriented.

"Yeah, I'm here bud." I said before wrapping him into a small hug. I back off however when Stefan and Lena came up, letting her fuss over him.

"He's okay." I faintly heard Stef inform her as I walked over to Damon who was standing, looking down at the baby he was holding after taking her out of the carrier. I wrapped my arms around his torso, under where Chloe was resting on his chest while I laid my head down on his chest, just below his shoulder. "I'm so sorry Damon, I know you loved her."

—~•+•~—

I rode back home with Elena and Jeremy in Jenna's car, but I didn't stay long. I once again packed up some clothes for tomorrow and more diapers for Chloe. In the kitchen I tossed the can of formula we have and a bottle of baby water, plus some baby food for tomorrow morning.

Then I was off to the Salvatore Boarding house once again today. I knew I should stay with Jeremy, but I cant stand the thought of leaving Damon all by himself after the realization he had tonight. Plus, the man kinda sped away from the church ruins with Chloe in his arms, so I kind of figure I should be there relieve him of the parenting duty when it becomes a bit too much.

When I pulled up and got out of the car, the door opened reveling Stefan, who cam out and carried the stuff I had brought into the house for me. I thanked him as I entered the parlor where I spotted Damon sitting in front of the fire staring into it blankly. I noticed that Chloe was out cold against his chest and repressed the urge to squeal at the sight, and made my way further into the room.

I slowly went over to him and sat beside him, placing my head onto his shoulder at an equally slow pace, not wanting to spook him. I noticed Stefan sit down in a chair on the other side of him, watching him.

And that's how we stayed, well until I fell asleep against his shoulder, finally crashing after such a long day.

But hey, at least I wont lose Damon now.
