Special Notes.
Dear Readers my dear friend Carol or as we know her as Scarlett 2112, is going through a really terrible time. Last Friday both her sons get assaulted and her car got vandalized. So she may not be able to update or review for a while. Please pray for her and her family especially her sons Matt and Morgan, so they both get well soon and be healthy again.
Bonnie'sP.O.V
Their journey was long but by the time night falls they were near the cottage. The only problem was that as she drives closer she can sense sinister magic in the air.
"Maybe we should find a motel to spend a night?" Bonnie suggest which makes Hope giggle. "Are you scared of dark Grams?"
"No!" She replied defensively. "I just want us to be our best while we perform that spell." She explains her made-up reasoning because Bonnie Bennett will never admit how scared she truly felt, especially when an eight-year-old sat so comfortably beside her.
"It's okay to be scared, you once told me how you pretend to be brave for others even when you were frightened. That's why you are such a powerful witch because you always said a true witch can turn her fear and challenge it to perform difficult spells because she knows that if she fails then people closer to her will be in grave danger."
Bonnie felt aww listening to this child who not only trusts her but memorize the words her future self said to her.
"You are a really brave kid." She compliments her to which she gave shrug and answer. "I guess I am because bravery runs in my family."
With that they continue their journey and hour later they finally arrived at the cottage.
They walked up to the door and sure enough, she can see a doll head on one of the iron spikes. "This is it. Are you ready?" she asks Hope who nods her head with a determined look on her face.
"Then let's begin." With that, she pulled out candles and herbs from her bag.
Placing six candles on the ground shelightst them up. "First we need to cast a massive sleeping spell." She told Hope who frowned as she asks. "Like the one place on my aunt Freya?"
"No this is twelve hours of sleeping spell. We don't want some dangerous witch to escape from this place while we rescue your aunt." Bonnie finished her explanation along with her preparation for the spell. "Now give me your hand."
Together both witches start chanting and then proceed to burn herbs on the flame.
It took an hour but soon smoke start travelling inside of the house and soon they watched flame turned momentarily green.
"Its working, instructions said to wait till flames turn orange and then we can unseal the cottage."
So they waited and for twenty minutes the flames stayed green. "This magic is so slo,." Bonnie complains but Hope shakes her head as she tells her. "Some spells take time when it's cast on too many people. In witches case, one witch takes power equivalent to ten humans."
Bonnie's eyes widened as she asks? "Who told you that?! Is there some kind of magical school like Hogwarts in future?"
She laughed and then wave her hand. The dead leaves rise in the air before turning into an impressive looking mansion. "This is Armoury. At first, it holds many magical artefacts but later our family turned it into a school where supernatural beings can study about themselves and control their powers in a safe and better way."
Bonnie felt super impressed but before she could ask more questions she watched as Hope's face fell. "It was my third favourite place in the world. I used to eagerly wait for school to start so I can see my friends. But now..." She was unable to say anymore so Bonnie urged. "But now, what?"
"Now no one can return until my family can defeat those bad people. Sometimes I think it's my fault because they want me most."
'She knows!' Bonnie thought as she recalls Freya words about their family demise being whole world demise.
She wanted to comfort her but before she could act on her decision the flames turn orange. "Its change!" Hope stood up excitedly. "Come, let's wake my aunt."
So once again they start chanting spell to lift the seal and she felt Hope powers contributing more to this spell then her.
In seconds they felt the air shift. Hope then wave her hand and doors opened and from inside a coffin came out soaring in the air until it landed gently on the land few feet away from them.
Bonnie and Hope then resealed the cottage again before they reach out to open the coffin.
Inside laid a beautiful blonde woman in her mid-twenties dressed in century-old clothes.
"Hope to place your hands on her heart and repeat this spell after me." The child obediently follows her instruction as she kept chanting spell after her.
It took them almost dawn but neither she nor Hope (much to her surprise) stopped.
Bonnie can feel her powers draining as few drops of blood start spilling from her nose.
Hope who seems tired but still be doing fine wave her hand at her and she felt a small burst of energy inside her. "We can do this Grams!" She heard her voice in her mind.
So with this new energy, they start chanting loudly and as a burst of first sun rays fell on Freya's body she stirred for second before taking a deep breath.
"Aunt Freya!" Hope scream echo around the woods and as Bonnie felt darkness overtaking her body the last thing she saw was Freya opening her eyes as she said.
"Hope."

"I can't believe we lost them again!" Damon shouted as he glared at his pathetic navigator. "And why are you glaring at me?" Klaus asks as he casually leaned against his car.
"Oh, I don't know?! Damon's voice goes pitch higher as he began yelling. "Maybe it's your stupid short cut that not only waste our precious time but it also cost me hours to return back to correct route where Bonnie and Hope were staying all this time at nearby Motel!"
"Damon relax, I know we lost them but at least we know for sure where they both are heading." Ric tried to calm his friend before he tried to commit hybrid murder.
"That's the precise reason Damon wants to reach them before they could reach that dangerous place." Stefan tried to explain his brother frustration while glaring at Klaus who seems unaffected like always.
"Oh, please don't make such a fuss, besides you are not going alone in that dangerous place. My family and hybrids..." but he didn't get a chance to finish because Damon roared at him. "Shut Up!"
'Now that's impressive.' Kol mused as he watched his brother's smirk fell off his face as this young vampire shouts at him. "You want to know why I am making such a big fuss?! It's because of that sweet innocent eight years old child who unluckily shared our blood and for some insane reason is on this journey to save our future selves. Do you even realize how I felt calling her liar and to know that she is still heading towards to the one place on this freaking planet where human blood spills on a daily basis because she is still trying to safe us! So shut up and don't tell me why I am making such a big fuss!"
He then punches the motel wall making everyone flinch.
"Damon is right Nicklaus, we can't let that child, your daughter reach New Orleans," Elijah told him as he turned to face Damon. "I apologize for this mishap but maybe be it's better if we should cover all these routes."
When he didn't say anything, Caroline, gently place her hand on his shoulder. "My mom said Bonnie car broke down so she rented a car somewhere near this town. So how about Stefan and I ask around while Elijah and his siblings can cover other routes."
She waited and then smile when he gave her a swift nod.
Elijah then instructs his sister. "Rebekah you take Kol and Finn and head towards another route." He then stares at six hybrids who was standing quietly. "Klaus tells them to take your short cut route and if they reach before us then they should stay low and just assess the situation of French Quarters and report us back."
Since his hybrid will obey him Klaus instructs them before adding his own. "Two of you petrol the borders, in case they show up. If they do show up then I want you to protect them with your life."
With that, they all left until only Damon, Klaus, Ric and Elijah remain.
"Come now, the sooner we start this journey the sooner we can reach our destination." With that Elijah pull the open back door of Damon's car and then stare at his brother who seems to be sulking angrily because he didn't like being reprimanded. "After your brother." He was prepared for anything but surprisingly Klaus scowled at no one particular as he silently settled inside the car. 'Maybe he finally realized how grave this situation is.' Elijah thought as he settled with his brother.
Once both brothers were inside Ric clear his throat as he said. "Shotgun!"
"Oh! How I wish to shoot someone." Damon growled as he watched the addition of reluctant travelling companions into this journey.
"You can stake him but then I doubt your granddaughter will ever exist if you kill her father before he could mate with her mom," Ric spoke up making him sick when he imagines Klaus with any of his future daughters. He could puke in disgust if that was even possible for a vampire. "Please stop talking, otherwise I will kill you again and won't even apologize for it." He then starts walking towards his car as he heard his best friend voice.
"Hey ! you never ever apologize before either and that lame-ass attempt of apology doesn't count." And even though Damon know what Ric was doing he was happy to humour his bickering from keeping him distracted of thoughts of killing this monster sitting inside his car. Or even worse thoughts, that they will be late and Hope and Bonnie will enter inside that monster's lair.
