Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).
I would just like to clarify that the Travelers are not the same as the show version, instead they are the coven of witches Silas and Qetsiyah originally belonged to, which is why I kept the same name, everything else is different.
Some of the other mythology introduced in this chapter may sound like show mythology, but as the story continues to unfold, you'll realize that it is very different.
Matt and Rebekah were waiting patiently in the plantation house for the witch Elijah had put them in contact with, who was due to arrive any moment. They'd opened the blinds and windows, and removed the dust covers from the chairs.
"What do you think we're going to find out?" Matt asked.
"I didn't tell Damon everything Professor Shane told me." Rebekah admitted. "I wanted to hold some information as leverage. But I'm hoping that the prophesy is true and we can destroy Silas without using the cure." she said. "And here is our witch now." she smiled and got up as Matt realized her vampire hearing had picked up the sound of the witch's car before he could.
Rebekah went to the door and invited the witch in who came and joined them in the parlor and sat down. She looked nervous and kept glancing around, as if someone was going to jump out on her at any moment.
"It's alright." Rebekah assured her. "I won't bite." she smiled.
"You're not the one I'm afraid of." the witch replied. "I'm scared they might follow me here." she added.
"Who might?" Rebekah asked.
"The Travelers." was all the woman would tell them as Rebekah and Matt looked at each frowning.
"What's your name?" Matt asked plastering a fake smile on his face as he tried to distract the terrified woman.
"Damaris." she replied curtly.
"If you're so scared, then why did you come?" Matt asked.
"You have to know." Damaris warned them.
"Have to know what?" Rebekah frowned.
"You're asking about Silas right?" Damaris asked as Rebekah and Matt nodded. "They've been waiting for this moment. For someone to ask questions." she said.
"Who are?" Matt asked.
"The Travelers." Damaris replied. "They're the coven of witches who worship Silas." she said. "They disappeared around two weeks ago. Nobody has seen or heard from them since." she told them.
"What do they want?" Rebekah asked.
"They want Silas to wake so they can have their magic back." Damaris told them. "He currently channels it through the bloodlines. They need him to wake and die to get their magic back. They can't let the prophesy be fulfilled." she said. "If the prophesy is fulfilled, the Travelers will have no magic left."
"How do you know all of this?" Matt asked.
"I was one of the Travelers." Damaris explained.
"Was?" Matt asked as Damaris nodded.
"The thought of Silas awakening frightened me. I refused to play a part in making sure the prophesy remained unfulfilled." Damaris told them. "I left and joined another coven of witches. A weaker coven, but at least I wouldn't lose my magic." she shrugged.
"Do the Travelers still have access to any magic?" Rebekah asked.
"A little." Damaris admitted. "But once Silas dies, they will be extremely powerful. If he dies by lowering the veil and taking the cure, then the prophesy will forever remain unfulfilled, and the Travelers will be powerful once again." she told them.
"So if we don't use the cure, the prophesy has to be fulfilled to kill Silas?" Matt asked, as Damaris nodded.
"The messenger must either temporarily die or lower the veil to cross to the other side and meet with Qetsiyah." Damaris told them. "She will tell them how to destroy Silas." she said.
"And how are we to know who this messenger is?" Rebekah asked.
"The fact that you are here asking questions means you already know." Damaris replied as Rebekah and Matt gave each other a puzzled look.
"What is this prophesy?" Rebekah demanded.
"You do not need to know the words. The Travelers are too close, and you knowing too much whilst here would be too dangerous. People would know questions are being asked." Damaris told them. "All you need to know is that the key players are now in place and the magical bloodlines must be stopped."
"What are the bloodlines:?" Matt asked.
"They were a way to create shadow-selves to counteract the immortality spell." Damaris explained. "The shadow-selves are born of a certain bloodlines, these bloodlines must be destroyed."
"Well that's easy, we just kill them." Rebekah smirked, but Damaris shook her head.
"As soon as the key players were in place to raise Silas, the Travelers combined their magic to put a spell on them to make the carriers of the bloodlines indestructible." Damaris sighed. "You can't kill them. The messenger must see Qetsiyah, it is the only way." she told them.
"How do we know who the messenger is?" Matt asked again.
"The one who opened the tomb is also the messenger. I can't tell you any more." Damaris sighed as she smiled sadly. "Look, I have to go." she said. "If anyone finds out that I've been talking to you, the Travelers will follow you and try to stop you." she warned them. "My advice is leave now, nobody can know that you've been here or that we met."
"I agree." Rebekah said as she vamp-sped over to the witch and snapped her neck right in front of a stunned looking Matt.
"What did you do that for?" Matt cried out.
"To make sure nobody knows we were asking questions." Rebekah shrugged. "I guess we need to get rid of her body." she said nonchalantly.
"I'll leave that to you." Matt frowned, no longer wanting to participate in the search for the prophesy. As far as he was concerned the sooner he got back to Mystic Falls, the better.
The roof of the Camaro was down and it the sun was shining as Damon and Elena passed a sign saying 'Willoughby 2 miles'.
"That's us." Damon said sliding a glance towards Elena who looked up from the text on her her phone. "Who was that?" he asked, noticing her worried expression.
"It was Matt." she told him. "They saw their witch in New Orleans, him and Rebekah are now on their way back to Mystic Falls." she said.
"Great." Damon smiled. "I take it they got what we wanted." he asked.
"I'm not so sure." Elena frowned. "He said they're chartering a private plane. They thought someone was following them." she said.
"Private jet huh? Fancy." Damon grinned. "Why would they be followed?" he asked, suddenly frowning.
"Apparently the witch they spoke to, was worried about questions being asked and warned them that Silas's witches might follow them to stop the prophesy from happening." she shrugged.
"That's weird." Damon frowned. "The witch in New York was worried about the same thing." he said checking the mirror. "You know what else is weird?" he asked.
"What?" Elena replied.
"I'm sure that car has been following us for like the last fifty miles." he narrowed his eyes as Elena looked behind to see a blacked out Ford Escape behind them.
"And maybe they're also going to Willoughby." Elena suggested as they drove passed a sign saying 'Welcome to Willoughby Pennsylvania'. "Well, here we are." she said looking unimpressed as Damon turned left leaving the car behind them to continue going straight on.
"Hmm, looks like they weren't following us after all." he shrugged as he started to take in his surroundings. "This place doesn't seem very...Katherine." Damon frowned. "It's too small."
"Well Mystic Falls isn't exactly a sprawling metropolis." Elena laughed. "Maybe she's a small town girl at heart." she suggested as Damon shook his head.
"Not a chance. It's probably more convenient and out of the way." he said as he pulled the car up into a parking lot next to a building with 'United States Post Office Willoughby Pennsylvania' written on the front. "If it's a P.O Box, this is the best place to start." Damon said before turning to look at Elena. "You ready?" he asked as Elena grimaced.
"Time to become a psychotic bitch." Elena groaned as she stepped out to the car wearing shoes that were perfectly Katherine, but not suitable for walking in as Elena tripped and fell when she got out of the car.
"Katherine? Are you okay?" she heard Damon ask as she whipped her head around thinking that he must have already found her bitchy doppelgänger, however her heart sank when she realized he was talking to her and having to pretend she was Katherine as other people were around. The thought that anyone who saw her fall might think it was Katherine instead brought a wry smile to Elena's face. It wasn't much, but a little Katherine humiliation was never a bad thing, which made Elena realize that pretending to be Katherine might not be all that bad after all.
"You alright there Miss Pierce?" Elena heard an unfamiliar male voice ask as she looked up and saw a man who was dressed in a Post Office uniform looking down at her.
"I...I think so." Elena muttered, getting up then realizing it was time to put on her best Katherine impersonation. "It was nice of you to ask..." Elena looked at the name badge on the man's uniform. "...Mark." she smiled sweetly brushing herself down before returning to look him in the eyes. "Have I had any post today?" she asked.
"The package you were waiting for arrived for you today Miss Pierce." Mark told her as he began to rummage around in his pockets until he pulled out a key. "Here's your house key." he said handing it to Elena who took it from him and looked at him intently. "I left the package exactly where you told me to leave it." he smiled proudly.
"And where was that?" Elena compelled him.
"Where was what?" Mark asked.
"Where in my house did you leave the package?" Elena compelled him again.
"Right where you told me to leave it." Mark smiled as Elena rolled her eyes.
"Where in my house did I tell you to leave my package?" Elena asked, frustration growing in her voice.
"I...I don't know?" Mark replied frowning.
"He's been compelled to forget." Damon said as he sidled up to Elena. "We'll have to look for it ourselves." he grimaced before turning back to Mark. "Where does Katherine live?" he asked.
"Who's Katherine?" Mark answered looking confused.
"Miss Pierce." Damon explained. "Where does Miss Pierce live?"
"Who's Miss Pierce?" Mark asked confused.
"Not only has she compelled him to forget where he put the package, she compelled him to forget all about her unless she's talking to him herself." Damon groaned. "I'll leave it to you." he sighed, walking back around the car and climbing into the drivers seat.
"Where do I live?" Elena asked.
"2174 Chestnut Street." he replied.
"Thank you Mark." Elena smiled. "Go back to the office and forget about this conversation." she compelled him, as she turned back around and opened the door to the Camaro, before getting in. "Well you heard the man." she sat down grinning at Damon who gave her a kiss on the lips. "Time to find the cure." she said.
Stefan had carried Bonnie back to her father's house straight after the massacre before explaining to Mayor Hopkins that Bonnie had been brainwashed by Silas. Caroline was swamped with prom committees meaning that Stefan was the one to wait with her until she woke up. Not that he had much else to do whilst everyone else was on their travels. Jeremy has offered, but they wanted to make sure she was really Bonnie first before letting her close to humans. He'd spent the day reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein when he suddenly heard Bonnie stirring in her room.
Stefan knocked on the door. "Bonnie, it's me Stefan. Can I come in?" he asked.
"Sure." Bonnie replied as Stefan opened the bedroom door and let himself in gingerly as Bonnie pushed herself up into a sitting position and smiled at Stefan..
"Hey. How you feeling?" Stefan asked, sitting down on the end of Bonnie's bed.
"What are you doing here?" Bonnie asked confused. "How'd I get here?"
"What do you mean?" Stefan frowned. "I...I brought you home. The witches almost killed you."
"What witches?" Bonnie narrowed her eyes at Stefan.
"You don't remember?" Stefan asked as Bonnie raised her eyebrows in response, prompting Stefan to nod in understanding. "Whatever the witches did must have messed with your memory." he sighed as much to himself as to Bonnie.
"How did I get off the island?" Bonnie asked as Stefan looked at Bonnie initially confused, as he began to wonder how far back her 'amnesia' went.
"Wait. Bonnie...what's the last thing you can remember?" Stefan asked.
"I guess I remember being in that cave, and the hunter guy was trying to pry the cure out of Silas' hands. Please tell me he got it." Bonnie pleaded, however her face fell when she saw Stefan's expression. "We didn't get it, did we?" she asked as Stefan shook his head sadly. "What happened?" she asked.
"Katherine has it." he sighed. "From what we know, she stabbed you, snapped Damon's neck and killed the hunter guy." Stefan explained. "Then she made off with not only the cure, but the tombstone and the white oak stake."
"Wow." Bonnie sighed in shock. "What happened then?" she asked.
"You and Professor Shane were missing, but we eventually found you both near the campsite." he told her.
"How did he get out?" Bonnie asked. "He broke his leg."
"We thought Katherine had given him some of her blood." Stefan explained as Bonnie frowned at him. "We thought she was working with him. But it turned out Professor Shane is still on the island." he shrugged.
"What, how?" Bonnie frowned.
"Because the person we came back with, who we thought was Professor Shane was actually Silas." he told her as Bonnie put her hand to her mouth.
"Is Professor Shane..." she started.
"...dead?" Stefan interrupted as Bonnie nodded sadly. "Yes, he's dead." he said quietly as tears began to well up in Bonnie's eyes. "Rebekah found him still alive." Stefan told her. "He saw Silas, and he was scared. So he asked Rebekah to kill him."
"Why?" Bonnie frowned.
"I guess the only thing keeping him going was Silas getting his family back for him." Stefan offered. "But when he came face to face with the real Silas, he realized it wasn't worth it."
"So we need to destroy Silas." Bonnie said urgently.
"Wait Bonnie... there's more." Stefan put his hand on top of Bonnie's to stop her from getting up.
"What?" Bonnie asked, beginning to worry when she saw Stefan's expression grow even more serious. "We don't exactly know when you found out that Professor Shane was really Silas. But Silas had persuaded you that he could help bring people like your Grams, Vicki, Ric and Anna back, so you agreed to help him complete the triangle." he said sadly.
"The Expression triangle?" Bonnie looked at Stefan horrified as he nodded in response. "Is that what the witches were trying to do? Stop me from helping him?" she asked.
"Yes and no." Stefan looked down. "You set a trap and the witches came to try and free you from Expression but your plan was to kill them once they were linked and that they would become the third massacre." he told her.
"Please tell me I didn't kill twelve witches." she begged as Stefan shook his head.
"The witches were going to kill you, but Caroline saved you, however killed the witch with the knife." he told her as Bonnie sucked in a deep breath. "But it was too late, they were all linked."
"The triangle was completed?" Bonnie asked in horror as Stefan nodded. "So what now?" she asked.
"When Rebekah went searching for Kol, she found Professor Shane who she said was seriously injured, but before he died, he told her that there was another way to destroy Silas." Stefan told her as Bonnie narrowed her eyes.
"He told me the same." she said, remembering the conversation where he'd told her about Qetsiyah's curse. "He said that Qetsiyah would rise as there was another way to end the curse."
"What curse?" Stefan asked, confused as this was new information.
"Qetsiyah was cursed to watch Silas and Amara fall in love over and over again throughout history." Bonnie told him frowning. "And that Qetsiyah would rise to break the curse or something like that. But he wasn't entirely sure whether it was true, I don't think he'd fully researched it, he wanted to raise Silas, not destroy him." she said.
"He told Rebekah, about a prophesy." Stefan explained. "She and Matt have gone to New Orleans to find some of Kol's old connections and ask some questions." he told her. "Damon and Elena have gone to try and get the cure from Katherine, just in case the prophesy isn't real." he added as Bonnie nodded.
"Anything else I should know?" Bonnie asked.
"Silas want you to lower the veil." Stefan told her.
"Silas isn't going to get what he wants." Bonnie told him. "I'm not going to lower the veil to the other side."
"So, can we count on you to help us destroy him?" Stefan asked as Bonnie smiled and nodded back.
"Do you mind if I get up and use the bathroom?" she asked frowning.
"Yeah...sure..." Stefan smiled. "You know what, I'll give you a little privacy, see if I can get hold of my brother, and find out if they've made any progress." he said. "I'm looking after you today, to make sure Silas doesn't appear and begin to brainwash you again. It was either me or Caroline who is in full on prom planning mode." he smiled as he got up and left Bonnie to get dressed in peace.
Damon and Elena pulled up outside a very ordinary looking house in the very ordinary looking Chestnut Street which was the address the guy from the Post Office had given to them. Damon switched the engine off as they both got out and walked up to the house, where Elena tried the key to the door, which unsurprisingly fit. Damon hovered his boot over the step to make sure they could both enter, but there was no barrier, allowing them both to walk straight into the house, closing the door behind them.
The inside of the house was nothing like what either of them expected from Katherine Pierce. First of all it was small and cosy, more floral than the sexual diva that was the Katherine Pierce they knew and hated.
"Wow. A quilt and a fish aquarium. Who the hell is this Katherine Pierce?" Damon asked, stunned by his surroundings.
"An old lady with awful taste." Elena grimaced. "Although her awful taste is to my benefit, so I'm not complaining." she smiled as she gave Damon a peck on the lips.
"Yeah, it doesn't look like the Katherine I know." Damon frowned. "Now where is it, Auntie Katherine?" he asked. "Where do we start looking?" he mumbled to himself.
"Well, over there, is the tombstone, which confirms that this is Katherine's place after all." Elena said pointing over to the rock which was being hidden on a bookshelf."
"Which means that not only is the cure here." Damon added. "But I'm guessing, so is the white oak stake." he grinned.
"Hopefully we can leave with a nice little haul of treasure." Elena grinned. "But first we start looking for the cure." she said as Damon noticed something on the bookshelf near to the rock.
"Well look at what we have here." he grinned as he ushered Elena to look at the small safe in front of them. Damon yanked open the safe, only to find it completely empty.
"Well it's not in the safe." Elena sighed. "Do you want me to look upstairs?" she asked.
"Wait a minute." Damon grinned. "So if I was a paranoid, distrustful sociopath, where would I keep my most prized possession?" he asked Elena.
"Not being any of those things, I have no idea." Elena shrugged, her eyes searching the room.
"Well I'd want it to be close, but not on me." Damon said as he began to slowly walk forward. "Accessible but not obvious. I'd want to keep it safe, but not so safe that it'd be too difficult to grab and run." he continued his running commentary until he stopped in front of the fish tank, kneeling down to look at it's contents. "Well, that is a fancy little treasure chest in a tank with no fish." Damon looked up at Elena "I think I'm gonna have to check that out." he said as he stuck his hand into the water which immediately began to burn. "Aah! Gah! Vervain water. Damon cried out as he withdrew his hand quickly and began shaking it, waiting for it to heal. "Looks like we have a winner." he said as he picked up a large net and scooped the chest out. Damon placed the net on the little side table and opened it revealing a small tube filled with red liquid. "Bingo." he grinned as he gently removed the tube from the box and handing it over to Elena.
"I don't want it." Elena said frowning.
"I know that." Damon said. "But we need to find the white oak stake. You were right with your suggestion about splitting up." he explained. "You go upstairs and look for it whilst I search down here. If Katherine gets back before we find the stake, hopefully I can stall her into thinking I have the cure because I've got the box." he smiled as Elena nodded in understanding before taking the vial of liquid and placing it into her pocket and heading upstairs to search for the white oak stake.
Damon put the treasure chest in his pocket and began to search the downstairs of the house whilst Elena was upstairs.
"Got it." he heard Elena call down just as he heard the door open, turning around, he froze to see Katherine stood in the doorway.
"Well Damon, this is an unpleasant surprise." she smirked.
Bonnie walked into the lounge after getting showered and dressed to find Stefan just finishing up on a call. Not wanting to interrupt, she headed to the kitchen to make some coffee. Just as she was pouring herself a cup Stefan joined her.
"Any updates?" she asked, offering Stefan a mug of coffee which he accepted.
"Lots." he told her. "That was my second call. My first one was from Caroline who has just returned from a very upset Klaus." Bonnie looked at him unconvinced. "It turns out that Klaus was convinced by Silas that it wasn't Katherine who took the white oak stake, but instead he took it." he told a wide eyed Bonnie. "He left the tip of it in Klaus's back causing Klaus to think he was dying. And considering the only person around to help him who wouldn't laugh was Caroline, he asked her to help get rid of it."
"What happened?" Bonnie asked.
"Nothing." Stefan frowned. "There was nothing there. He got into Klaus's head and convinced him that he was dying." he told a very shocked Bonnie.
"But if he can get into Klaus's head, what chance do we stand?" Bonnie asked.
"That's not all." Stefan told her. "He didn't just appear as Professor Shane. He also appeared as Caroline at one point."
"So he can change faces just like that?" she asked shuddering as Stefan nodded.
"The second call was from Matt." Stefan smiled. "It's kinda good news." he told her as Bonnie raised her eyebrows expectantly. "They spoke with a witch in New Orleans who was originally from a coven of witches called the Travelers." he told her.
"The same coven as Silas and Qetsiyah?" Bonnie asked, surprised that they still existed. Professor Shane had told her he thought they'd died out long ago.
"Apparently." Stefan replied. "She left and joined another coven, she didn't want any part in bringing back Silas." he said. "Turns out the prophesy is true, there is another way to destroy Silas. But they need the messenger to contact Qetsiyah by either dropping the veil or temporarily visiting her on the other side." he explained.
"And who is the messenger?" Bonnie sighed, already knowing the answer.
Stefan winced. "The one that managed to get into Silas's tomb." he said.
"I can cross to the other side and contact Qetsiyah if I have something of hers." Bonnie told him. "Shane gave me a necklace made from her human bone. I guess we could use that. Or we could try the tombstone, that contains her calcified blood." she explained. "In fact, it would be better if I had both. The more I have, the greater a connection there will be and less of a risk for me." she told him.
"Katherine has the tombstone." Stefan told her. "But Damon and Elena have a lead on Katherine. Hopefully they'll get that as well." he sighed.
"I take it you haven't spoken to him." Bonnie said.
Stefan shook his head. "Not since they were in New York." he told her. "They had a lead and left last night. I tried calling Damon when I left you earlier but it kept going to voicemail." he sighed. "I'll keep trying Damon, you keep trying Elena." he suggested as Bonnie nodded as they got up and headed to the living room to make their calls.
Katherine stood at the door smirking looking at Damon who looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"This obsession you have with me Damon." Katherine smirked. ""It's not healthy. What would poor little Elena think?" she asked mockingly as she gradually walked into the house.
"Well maybe if I'd have met Grandma Katherine first, I might have left you all to Stefan." Damon replied sarcastically. "Although on the downside, I'd never have met Elena, so really I should thank you for it. Who's house is this anyway?" he asked, trying to stall her whilst attempting to come up with a plan.
"It's mine." Katherine replied indignantly.
"This whole small-town girl thing, we know it's all an act." Damon sneered.
"Maybe you don't know Katherine at all. Did it ever occur to you that you have no idea who I really am?" Katherine purred.
"Did it ever occur to you that you're not that deep?" Damon replied.
"Where is the cure?" Katherine asked, changing the subject.
"What cure?" Damon said innocently.
"Quit stalling." Katherine sucked her cheeks in. "I know Elena is upstairs with the white oak stake. So which one of you has the cure?" she asked.
"Oh you mean this cure?" Damon asked as he took the chest out of his jacket pocket and waved it around in front of Katherine, before dropping it in the fish tank. "Oops." he said putting his hand to his mouth. "Butterfingers." he grinned. "I'd fish it out, but, you know, that water is just full of vervain." he shrugged.
"I know. I put it there." Katherine snapped as she suddenly vamp-sped at him and shoved his head into the vervain water, and held him there for several seconds before yanking his head out and throwing him to the floor.
Katherine picked up the fishing net and pulled out the chest, all the while Damon was rolling on the floor writhing in pain as his face began to slowly heal. Katherine opened the box only to find it empty.
"So Elena has it." she grinned.
"No!" Damon cried out, grabbing Katherine's leg as she tried to set off upstairs to get to Elena, however, she just quickly turned around and snapped his neck. Turning back to head upstairs, she was met with her own face and the white oak stake in her stomach.
"You missed!" Katherine grinned as Elena tried to make a run for it but Katherine was too quick for her, as she pulled the stake out and pushed Elena up against the book shelves.
"Give it to me or I'll kill you." Katherine sighed. "You know you don't stand a chance against me."
"You're gonna kill me anyway. If you try to kill me I'm going to take the cure" Elena said holds up the small tube, filled with what looked like blood. "Then you'll have nothing." she smirked, snatching it away before Katherine could take it from her.
"Won't I?" Katherine smirked. "You see, you have everything, and it's not because you're a good little girl who deserves happiness, it's because you stole mine." she continued. "If I kill you quickly, he won't even notice." she cocked her head over to Damon's dead body. "I got really good at pretending to be you. Fine, take the cure, I'll just kill you and pretend to be you." Katherine bent down and whispered into Elena's ear. "And maybe I'll choose the right brother instead." she pulled back and grinned at Elena's horrified face as she first glanced over to where Damon lay, and then looked around to see if there was anything she could use as a weapon, but books weren't going to hold back Katherine Pierce. Elena felt a kick to her leg as Katherine attempted to regain Elena's focus.
"Kicking someone while they're down...classy till the end, Katherine." Elena stalled, realizing she only had one option.
Katherine laughed. "Your end." she said as she thrust her hand into Elena's chest and grabbed hold of her heart. "Bye-bye, little girl." she sneered as Elena shoves the cure into Katherine's mouth and forced her jaw to close around it. Katherine's eyes widened as the cure dissolved in her mouth, her hand letting go of Elena's heart before she fell to the floor next to Elena, unconscious.
"Have a nice human life, Katherine." Elena panted, recovering from the hand around her heart, as she stared at Katherine, unable to comprehend what had just happened when she heard someone opening the door, looking up she saw Elijah stood in the doorway.
"Katerina." he cried out as he rushed over to Katherine's unconscious body.
"Oww." Damon murmured in the background as he began to stir whilst Elijah knelt to the floor and took Katherine's head in his lap, brushing her hair from her face before his gaze moved over to Elena.
"Elena." Elijah sighed, shaking his head. "Oh my, what have you done?" he asked, wide eyed, his voice was a mixture of anger, grief, fear and disappointment.
Stefan hung up the phone and turned to Bonnie, his face ashen with shock.
"What happened?" Bonnie asked nervously.
"Damon and Elena are on their way back." Stefan replied. "They found Katherine and the cure."
"Great." Bonnie smiled. "Where is Katherine?" she asked.
"A small town in Pennsylvania called Willoughby." he said. "But the cure, it's gone." he frowned.
"Gone?" Bonnie asked. "How can it be gone?"
"Katherine took it." Stefan said shocked. "Katherine's human." he looked up at the wide eyed Bonnie who was too stunned to reply.
Silas stood outside Bonnie's house, listening to the conversation she was having with Stefan. He'd heard all he needed to hear. There was no point in lowering the veil until he had the cure. And Katherine Pierce was now the cure. It wasn't much to go on, but if Willoughby was a small town, then he wouldn't have too much trouble finding out where a human Katherine Pierve was. And with that he set off to find her.
There will be no Stelena reunion as a couple in any way shape or form in this story, including dreams or curses. It is not relevant to the mythology of my story.
