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).
So I've changed the background and mythology of not only the Travelers, but the Gemini Coven too, as you will see in this chapter. It is a lot more plot heavy than the previous chapter, which probably contained more plot than appeared on the surface. But there is a fair amount of exposition, and a bit of a shock twist.
I hope you enjoy.
The next morning, after they'd gotten up and had hot and steamy sex in their new shower, Damon and Elena entered the kitchen to find the only one up was Stefan who had a coffee in one hand and was reading something on his phone.
"What's up brother." Damon asked as Stefan looked up from the island, while Damon poured two mugs of steaming hot coffee and handed one over to Elena.
"Ric hasn't got your number." Stefan reminded him. "He text me last night to say he's arrived in Portland and is going to find the Gemini Coven today. He'll let us know how it went later. Do you want me to give him your number?" he asked.
"Sure." Damon replied as he took a sip of coffee.
"What happened to you two last night?" Stefan asked innocently.
"I felt a little tired." Elena lied.
"Is that right." Stefan nodded. "It's funny because Bonnie felt something else." he said with a raised eyebrow.
"Something else?" Damon asked as he put his coffee down.
"Hmm." Stefan smiled. "You see, every time you fed, Bonnie got either a blood high or blood lust." he told them as Damon and Elena exchanged looks of horror. "Not sure Jeremy was complaining though." he added.
"Oh my god." Elena clamped her hand over her mouth.
"How many times did this happen?" Damon asked.
"Three times." Stefan replied.
"Well that's not right." Elena removed her hand and looked confused. "We fed four times." she said.
"Interesting." Stefan frowned. "You must have done something different with one person than you did with the others." he said.
"There's nothing I can think of." Damon said thoughtfully. "We fed the same."
"Well there must have been something different, so until we can work out what that difference was, it looks like Bonnie's going to be getting high every time you feed." Stefan tried not to laugh.
"Maybe she'll be a little less Judgy." Damon sneered.
"I doubt that." Bonnie said as she entered the kitchen. "I'll need to go with you when you feed until we can find out what you have to change to stop it affecting me." she said.
"So you're saying you didn't have fun last night?" Damon raised an eyebrow, trying not to smile in the process.
"Don't give me that crap!" Bonnie snapped. "It made me feel and...do things." she said, lowering her voice as a faint red tinge appeared on her cheeks.
"Haha. Sabrina got laid last night." Damon started to laugh until he saw Elena giving him a dirty look.
"Damon!" Elena glared at him before turning to Bonnie. "What do you mean it made you feel and do things?" she asked.
"I felt...really strong and powerful." Bonnie explained. "It also made me feel..." she sighed and shut up.
"Do you want to talk somewhere else?" Elena asked.
"Why?" Bonnie folded her arms.
"Because we need to know if the feeling is the same as blood lust or a blood high." Damon explained. "They're different and you'll end up wanting to do different things." he explained.
"So if it's blood lust I'll crave blood?" Bonnie frowned. "Because I can assure you I didn't have any urges to drink blood." she added.
"It's not that." Stefan shook his head. "A blood high is kinda like being drunk or high on drugs. Blood lust is when you don't want the feeling to stop. You want more to make it feel better. You'll do anything to feed the need for blood or in your case whatever you were craving as a human. That's if you were craving something." he added.
"Did you crave anything?" Elena asked as Bonnie nodded.
"I think I experienced a bit of both of those." she explained.
"What did you crave?" Damon asked.
"Magic." Bonnie whispered. "I wanted more power." she said.
Damon walked over to the wet bar, which Elena noticed, had miraculously appeared overnight. She didn't say anything, deciding to ask Damon if he knew where it had come from. Damon poured himself a drink and gulped it down quickly. A sign Elena had come to recognize from Damon that he was thinking and formulating a plan. However just then Caroline walked into the kitchen.
Caroline stopped and folded her arms as soon as she saw Damon and Elena. "And where did you two skulk off to last night?" she asked in her most disgusted voice.
"We were tired and wanted to go to bed Blondie." Damon scowled.
"Yeah, well next time, tell us you're leaving." Caroline scowled.
"Bonnie knew we were fine." Elena assured her.
"That is not the point!" Caroline tilted her chin in the air. "We're supposed to make sure you two are safe from the Travelers. How can we know if you've disappeared for a sex-a-thon?" she asked as Damon nearly spat the contents of his second glass of whiskey over the floor.
"Look Blondie." Damon stormed up to Caroline. "We did nothing different to what we would have done before you turned up. What difference could you have made against Silas and his witch groupies? Hey I know, sweet fuck all!" he said angrily as Elena put her hand on Damon's arm to calm him down, except she didn't succeed, instead she suddenly became angry herself
"Oh-oh." Stefan remarked as Bonnie also started to scowl at Caroline. "Caroline, I'd suggest you apologize quickly otherwise you're going to get a witchy headache and possibly a snapped neck." he said.
Caroline realized what danger she was in as she looked at all three of them, their faces contorted in anger.
"Fine." Caroline sighed. "I'm sorry okay. I was just worried about you." she said sweetly. Immediately Damon, Elena and Bonnie calmed down.
"What the hell happened there?" Bonnie asked, her voice full of fear.
"I have no idea." Damon said slowly. "Hmm, I hope that's not going to put a kink in my plans." he frowned.
"What plans?" Elena asked.
Damon turned to Bonnie. "Sabrina. How powerful is the baby today?" he asked.
Bonnie put her hand on Elena's stomach and grimaced. "She's going to need draining of magic." she said.
"Do you think your witchy connection is lower when the baby is less powerful?" Damon asked. "You said you felt it as soon as we fed." he said. "Does that mean the connection was stronger?" he asked.
"Good question." Bonnie narrowed her eyes. "It could be that. But what can we do? Elena needs to feed from the vein." she sighed.
"Well maybe it means we need to be able to siphon the magic from the baby as soon as it gets too powerful, right?" Damon asked as Bonnie nodded in agreement. "How exactly were you planning to put the magic into an object?" he asked.
"There's a spell where I can take it from the baby and move it into an inanimate object." Bonnie frowned.
"So why will it hurt?" Jeremy asked as he walked into the kitchen and poured himself some coffee.
"Because I'm placing it directly into an object without it's permission." Bonnie explained. "If I channel magic from the baby into me, it sees me as an extension of Elena, so it trusts where the magic is going." she said.
"Great." Damon grinned lifting his glass up. "You wanted more magic juice, we have it for you to drink at your own will." he added.
"It doesn't work like that." Bonnie shook her head. "If I get too powerful, I could get out of control."
"Like with the Expression?" Caroline asked, to which Bonnie nodded.
"So that's not an option." Stefan added.
"Can't you put your magic somewhere before you juice up?" Damon asked.
"Like where?" Bonnie frowned.
"Oh I don't know." Damon shrugged. "Put your magic in a box, touch Elena's stomach, connect to the baby and do your witchy stuff, and you're all magical again." he suggested.
"It doesn't work like that." Bonnie started, when suddenly a smile crept up her lips. "But I might be able to find a way around it. I only need a small amount of magic to channel the baby and suck the magic like a siphon into me. If I put a little bit of my magic into a talisman of Elena's, the baby might trust it, as it feels the talisman is part of me and Elena." she said. "I'll retain enough of the magic the baby gives to me so that I don't lose any myself."
"Won't it need something that is linked to Damon too?" Elena asked.
"It's not absolutely necessary, but it would probably be a good idea if it were." Bonnie nodded. "The greater connection to all three of us, the more the baby will trust it." she said.
"We don't have anything." Elena sighed.
"We'll have to go jewelry shopping and I will have to do what you've been saying no to since we started dating." Damon grinned.
"It will need to be a different item every time we drain the baby." Bonnie warned.
"Looks like you're going to have one helluva jewelry collection." Caroline laughed.
"And the Salvatore fortune is going to dwindle very quickly." Stefan frowned.
"Don't worry brother." Damon grinned. "I have my own money. Not a penny came from the Salvatore's." he said smugly.
"Did you steal it?" Jeremy asked.
"No!" Damon replied, clearly taking offense. "I had a job in the seventies where I would obtain fake ID's for vampires." he started.
"So still not legal." Jeremy raised an eyebrow.
"How do you think we manage to move around over the decades?" Damon asked. "We can't keep the same ID. People would get a little suspicious." he explained. "Well to cut a long story short, I invested my earnings wisely, and fortunately, I managed to avoid all subsequent crashes as I had good inside information on a lot of companies and their accountants." he told them. "I also own a few businesses of my own." he smirked. "I could buy every jewelry store in Richmond and it still wouldn't put a dent in my own bank balance. So the Salvatore millions are safe little brother." he assured Stefan with a sarcastic smile.
"Fine." Stefan raised his hands.
"Will it help with your needs?" Jeremy asked Bonnie.
"That's your job Little Gilbert." Damon snickered only to receive a glare from Elena. "Has no one got a sense of humor this morning?" he shrugged.
"I meant magic cravings." Jeremy corrected Damon, however everyone ignored him.
"We just don't have Damon humor." Stefan snapped.
"Why? What the hell happened at the club last night after we left?" Damon frowned.
"Nothing. We got a cab and came back here." Caroline said.
"So what's with the long faces?" Damon asked.
"Maybe we're all a little tired from last night." Stefan suggested.
"Ooh." Damon's eyes lit up as he looked as Elena who simply shrugged. He didn't believe for a minute his brother and Caroline had done anything romantic, but he still held out hope there might be progress in raising a spark of interest. He did notice one thing, the wet bar was not in the living room adjacent to the kitchen the night before. Had Stefan and Blondie been up all night talking? He wondered. "Anything we should know? Like how this got here?" Damon asked pointing to the glass of whiskey in his hand.
"Caroline and I were talking about the Originals." Stefan told him. "We think they all need to be protected from Silas. Elijah has Katherine and Rebekah might also know where Katherine is. I don't trust Silas not to mind control them to find out about Katherine's whereabouts." he said.
"And that werewolf bitch who snapped my neck probably needs it too." Caroline scowled. "If Klaus thinks we're protecting them at all costs, he might be more inclined to help us if we need him in the future."
"The way to get Klaus in his good books is by looking out for his family." Stefan agreed. "No matter how pissed of he is with his siblings, he'd never turn down an offer which would protect them." he said.
"Bonnie, are you okay to do all of this?" Elena asked.
Bonnie sighed. "As long as I have something that belonged to them." she said.
"We'll have to wait until we get back to Mystic Falls, unless Quarterback wants to pay a visit." Damon said. "We need to protect Katherine too." he sighed.
"What do we have?" Jeremy asked.
"The necklace used to belong to Rebekah." Elena suggested.
"I have a hankie which belonged to Elijah." Damon offered.
"And Katherine?" Bonnie asked. Both Damon and Stefan exchanged looks before shaking their heads. "Great." she sighed. "Because we're going to need to find something."
"Do you know something, I've had enough of talking about magic for one day." Damon frowned. "Why don't we go shopping? Ric isn't going to call any time soon. We'll be back before he does. We can get an update later." he said. "Anyone feel like joining us?" he asked.
"No you two go and have fun." Stefan shook his head.
"I think I'll stay here." Caroline told them.
Bonnie and Jeremy looked at one another. "We'll stay here if you don't mind." Bonnie said. "You don't need me for this part."
"Okay, well see you later." Damon said as he left the kitchen.
"We won't be too long." Elena told them as she followed him
"Bye." the rest called out together as Elena closed the door.
Alaric stood looking at the open fields in front of him. He checked the address on the piece of paper Elijah had given him and frowned as it was correct. Before he'd set off, Elijah had warned him it would be difficult to find as the Gemini Coven liked to remain hidden, especially from Silas, and to find the house he would need to break the cloaking spell. When Ric asked how, Elijah had cryptically told him a rock should suffice. Ric scoured around him to see if anything stood out that could be some kind of supernatural doorbell. After about ten minutes of searching and not finding anything which looked remotely supernatural Ric was on the verge of giving up.
"Couldn't Elijah have given a less fucking cryptic clue?" he growled to himself as he picked up a rock and threw it at the open space. To his amazement, a house appeared in front of him. "Okay, this I can work with." he muttered to himself as he approached the white wooden clad building. Once he got to the door he knock, to his amazement a man, who Alaric guessed was in his late fifties, maybe early sixties, answered the door and held out his hand.
"Alaric Saltzman I presume?" the man asked as Ric looked at him in surprise. "I'm Joshua Parker." Joshua opened the door wider. "Please come in." he said with a smile which didn't quite reach his eyes.
"You do know that..." Ric started.
"You're an Original vampire?" Joshua asked raising an eyebrow. "Of course I do. I suspected you would inadvertently become one when you took over the guardianship of Elena Gilbert." he said. "Please come in." he insisted. Ric took as step into the house. Joshua closed the front door and led him into what looked like a welcoming kitchen, where he sat down at the table. "Whiskey?" Joshua asked as Ric nodded in surprise, waiting for the catch, but so far there seemed to be none. Joshua poured two glasses of whiskey and sat down at the table with Ric and raised his glass, which Ric clinked before they both took a sip, before Ric chose to speak.
"How did you know about me?" he asked.
"How do I know about a lot of things?" Joshua replied. "I'm the leader of the Gemini Coven, a group of witches who's current primary purpose is to protect the Prophesy." he said.
"Why?" Ric asked.
"I'm sure you know most of the story of Silas already." Joshua replied, to which Ric nodded. "What you don't know are the parts which come afterwards. The parts the Bennett witches, including Qetsiyah herself know nothing about." he said.
"What do you mean?" Ric asked.
"The Gemini Coven and the Bennett line have different roles in protecting the Prophesy." Joshua told him. "The Bennett witch is to protect the doppelgangers and the soulmate. The Gemini Coven is to ensure Silas is destroyed." he said. "Which is why I happily invited you into my home." he smiled.
"So how did you know I was the one assigned to destroy Silas?" Ric frowned.
"How many Original vampires have risen from the dead?" Joshua asked. "And out of those, who are unable to be killed?"
"Ric thought for a moment. "So have you been spying on Mystic Falls?" he asked.
"We have a member of the Gemini community there, yes." Joshua nodded. "You see, the witch spirits gave the coven's a guide when we received the knowledge of the Prophesy. However, over the years, the Gemini Coven have gained additional information from the witch spirits." he explained.
"How?" Ric frowned.
"In the form of a sacrificial offering." Joshua told him. "We merge the twins, one dies and for our sacrifice, we receive an additional piece to the puzzle. Usually only a few words, but as we have documented everything over the centuries, we realized they were telling us how to know who and where to look. The obvious place was keeping an eye on both tree's until the doppelgangers made and appearance. But that was not all, we knew the tale of the brothers." he said.
"So you guessed it would be Stefan and Damon?" Ric asked as Joshua nodded.
"They fit the description perfectly." he said. "Obviously we knew Katherine wasn't the doppelganger in the Prophesy as she had already had a child. So it was just a matter of time while we waited for the next doppelganger. We even knew where she would be born." he smiled.
"How?" Ric frowned.
"She'd be born in the same place as her counterpart, Stefan." Joshua told him. "Once Stefan reached the age of ten and his mother died of consumption, we knew for certain the Salvatore's were the brothers in the prophesy, so we sent one of our own to to keep an eye out for the birth of the doppelganger. Of course the arrival of Katherine Pierce complicated matters at first, but was eventually made clearer in relation to the Prophesy. Our spy integrated themselves within the Mystic Falls community, although they arrived too late to become a founding family member." he smiled. "His line were there to watch out for the birth of the doppelganger and keep the Bennett witches informed as soon as she arrived."
"Who was the spy?" Ric asked.
"His name was Mark Sommers." Joshua told him.
"As in Jenna Sommers?" Ric asked in shock.
"Indeed, although I believe Miranda's death would have meant Jenna was not fully aware of the Prophesy. But it was of no consequence, the rest of the coven knew of Elena's existence, then after that it was just a case of waiting for the Guardian Destroyer to arrive." Joshua explained. "In the meantime we sent someone else along to keep an eye out. I'm sure you know Dominic, the bartender at the Grill. He loves bugging yours and Damon's stools." he smiled.
"Oh boy." Ric cringed.
"We had to know everything about the Guardian Destroyer." Joshua told him.
"The Guardian Destroyer being me?" Ric asked as Joshua nodded.
"Miranda's early death meant she couldn't keep an eye on you and she hadn't told Jenna what she needed to know before she died." Joshua said. "By the time Miranda found out what she needed to do, there wasn't time to explain it all to Jenna. So we sent another member of the coven to take over." he explained.
"So Elena's mom knew all about Elena and the prophesy from the very beginning?" Ric asked in shock.
"She did. When Isobel left, Miranda begged Grayson for them to keep the baby." Joshua told him.
"To protect her." Ric nodded in understanding. "But Miranda and Grayson were vampire hunters, they'd have killed Stefan and Damon."
Joshua shook his head. "Grayson was a vampire hunter and most definitely would have tried, but Miranda was waiting for Damon and Stefan to reappear. She was prepared to do anything and to stop anyone from killing them." he said sadly. "Including Grayson."
"Are you saying the accident which killed Elena's parents, was caused by Miranda?" Ric frowned as Joshua nodded.
"We told her both brothers had arrived the same night in Mystic Falls. She was on the phone to us in the car as they went to collect Elena. She called us under the premise of arranging for the Gilbert's to go to the lake house to prepare to kill the Salvatore's." Joshua explained. "We did a locator spell and told her the exact locations of Damon and Stefan. Miranda knew Elena was talking to Damon before they arrived to pick her up. They also knew the exact spot where Stefan was, which was why Miranda used her magic to turn the steering wheel and veer the car over the bridge. She knew Stefan would save Elena because he wouldn't be able to resist the draw of the doppelganger blood." he said.
"Miranda, Jenna and Jeremy are witches?" Ric asked, his eyes open wide with shock however Joshua shook his head.
"Only the Sommers heir is a witch. And not a very strong one at that." he said. "Their powers are limited to protecting the Prophesy. Only Miranda ever possessed them because she was the only one who protected Elena before the arrival of the Salvatore's and the Guardian Destroyer."
"So how did you know about me?" Ric asked, wanting to change the subject. He was dreading telling Elena too much about her mother's involvement as she would feel guilty over the deaths of her parents. The less he knew about the screwed up way Miranda protected the Prophesy, the better.
"The Guardian Destroyer is drawn to the Petrova line." Joshua told him. "When you married Isobel, you became our number one suspect. Isobel came to us when she found out about the Prophesy and also suspected you might be the Guardian Destroyer. We discussed how she could help, so she decided to become a vampire. That way she would be able to look after Elena from afar and free you of your marriage to her." he said.
"Wouldn't a divorce have sufficed?" Ric asked sarcastically.
"It was felt having an additional vampire protecting her would be in Elena's best interests." Joshua shrugged.
"Didn't help her after she was compelled by Klaus." Ric raised an eyebrow.
"It was of no consequence." Joshua said. "We knew Elena would either survive or become a vampire. We hoped it would be the latter. But her love for Damon wasn't strong enough for her to leave Stefan at that point, otherwise John Gilbert's spell wouldn't have worked and he'd still be alive and Elena would have become a vampire. I think you should know, you are also drawn to members of the Gemini Coven." he added.
"Like Jenna, who died." Ric snarled.
"Yes." Joshua said sadly.
"How many people have had to die unnecessarily for this prophesy?" Ric asked angrily.
"Hundreds." Joshua shrugged. "Mainly those from the Gemini Coven. But that is not why you are here. You need instructions on how to kill Silas and what further magic is needed to protect the Prophesy. I have some of it here, but I believe Atticus Shane also had access to information which came from one of the members of The Five, and a stolen grimoire. Although it appears he didn't know the significance of what he had in his possession. So this is what I have planned for you..." he started.
Damon and Elena returned back from their shopping trip with bags and bags of jewelry and other things to use as talisman for the magic. Not all of it was for Elena, as they'd decided to get a few things which would belong to the baby and allow Bonnie to use those. Before they'd left, Bonnie had told them jewelry wasn't essential, just something they would know was a keeper of magic. So Damon and Elena's shopping spree had extended to buying cuddly toys, rattles and teething rings. Once back, the talisman were place in the nursery and jewelry in the safe, except for a sapphire ring, which they'd decided to use as a test for the plan to draw the magic from the baby. However, before they had a chance to even start the process, Damon's cell rang and Ric's name appeared on the caller ID.
"Looks like we'll have to put off the magic suction for a while." Damon said. "I think this is likely to be important." he told them as he pressed answer on the phone. "Ric, hows Portland?" he asked.
"Extremely informative." "Ric replied, his voice sounding a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Damon asked.
"I can only tell you so much over the phone." Ric explained. "And I might not be able to answer some of your questions right now, not until I've spoken to Elena privately, and in person." he added.
"Whatever you need to say to me can be said out loud in front of everyone." Elena frowned.
"Trust me, this can't. That's all I can say." Ric replied.
"Fine, if you can't tell us, just say you can't tell us what it is and we'll have to take your word for it." Stefan agreed as everyone nodded at his statement.
"Good." Ric said. "So now onto the important stuff. The Gemini Coven have been watching the Petrova line since the Great Divide. They were waiting for the doppelgangers and the brother. When Stefan and Damon turned, they knew they were the brothers in the prophesy. It was a just a matter of time waiting for the Petrova doppelganger, which we all know." he told them. "When she arrived, it was time for them to search for the Guardian Destroyer, aka me. They knew that person would be drawn to the Petrova line, so when I married Isobel, they suspected it to be me. Isobel sought out the coven and between them they decided Isobel needed to become a vampire so she could better protect Elena and at the same time free me to seek out the doppelganger, that was if I was indeed the Guardian Destroyer." he said.
"She took a helluva risk Ric." Damon said sounding shocked. "Wouldn't divorce have been easier?" he asked.
"That's what I said, but Isobel had no magic to help protect Elena and she wanted to be involved in securing the prophesy." Ric explained. "So Isobel formed a plan to get an extra bit of help to see if I was the one." he said.
"Let me guess, she asked John Gilbert to find me so that I could turn her. If you came after me, they'd know you were the future Supervamp, if not, they needed to look elsewhere, like maybe John Gilbert?" Damon suggested.
"The Guardian Destroyer is a willing guardian, not a blood relative." Ric explained. "But yes, you were chosen specifically to turn her for that reason. If killing you couldn't lure me to the Petrova doppelganger, then I wasn't the Supervamp, as you like to call it." he continued. "They've been keeping an eye on us ever since. Turns out the new bartender in the Grill is a member of the Coven. He's heard practically everything and Damon, every time you compelled him, it didn't work." he said.
"Holy crap!" Damon grimaced. "He knows pretty much everything about all of us." he said.
"Yeah well, apparently he bugged our stools when we were at the bar, just in case he was busy with other customers." Ric laughed.
"And where is the little shit now?" Damon asked.
"He's still in Mystic Falls." Ric told him. "That's until the Fall, when he'll be moving to Whitmore College." he said.
"Why is he moving there?" Elena asked.
"Because we all are." Ric told them. "Apparently I applied for the job of Professor of Occult studies while I was dead, to replace Shane. I was offered the job yesterday." he said.
"And what about us?" Caroline asked.
"You're going there to study." Ric told them.
"Why Whitmore?" Damon asked skeptically. "I'm not sure I like the sound of this." he said.
"What's wrong with Whitmore?" Bonnie asked. "You had fun last time you were there." she smirked.
"Let's just say it's not the most vampire friendly place in the world." Damon frowned. "Don't ask any questions, just trust me on this one." he said.
"Well tough." Ric said. "Whitmore has the doctor who is to take care of the Prophesy when it is born. She is a specialist in supernatural pregnancies, the only one in the entire continental US." he explained. "She's a member of the coven and is fully aware of the specifics of Elena's and the baby's needs. There are a couple of other members there too." he added.
"I can't go to college pregnant." Elena said in horror. "What will people say when I've got a huge bump?" she asked.
"About that, apparently Bonnie needs to do a cloaking spell to hide the pregnancy when you're around people who aren't supposed to know you're pregnant." Ric told them.
"Can you do that?" Elena asked Bonnie.
"I've no idea." Bonnie shrugged.
"Don't worry, it's all in Shane's office." Ric explained. "He got hold of one of the Gemini Coven's grimoires, although he didn't know what to do with it." he said. "I can give it to you once I go through what is now my new office there." he said.
"I was so looking forward to you having the bump." Damon pouted as Elena looked at him confused. "It's super sexy!" Damon smirked as Elena looked at him with even more confusion.
"I don't get guys." Caroline shook her head. "It must be some strange testosterone fueled ego trip when their partners are pregnant. As if their girlfriend is an ad for the guy saying 'look I'm fertile'." she said.
"It's not that." Damon shook his head.
"I get what Damon means." Stefan agreed. "It's really hard to explain." he said.
"Can we get off the subject of how men drool over pregnant women?" Bonnie asked, changing the subject. "So Ric you were saying about the cloaking spell."
"The spell doesn't apply when you two lovebirds are alone together." Ric assured them.
"Phew, man I was getting worried there." Damon sighed putting his arm around Elena and drawing her in tight to him.
"Anything else?" Damon asked.
"No, that's it." Ric told them. "Everything else we need is a Whitmore." he said. "Oh yeah, there is one other thing. The Travelers have gone underground. They will be juicing themselves up with magic for the supernatural abortion. That will take them seven full moon massacres to fuel their power through a weakened form of Expression, so basically, we don't have to worry about them for a while." he told them.
"What do you mean don't have to worry about them?" Jeremy asked.
"Neither they, nor Silas can do anything for seven months, and they won't wasted a single bit of magic before then." Ric told them. "Which means, we're in the clear to go back to Mystic Falls."
