Please be aware that there's some string swearing coming up. If this offends you then please don't read it.

"I haven't got anything to wear!" moaned Bonnie,

"Ssh! You've got to promise me that you won't tell Elena or Stefan." I pleaded, she sighed and finally agreed, so we went through her suitcase and finally picked a dress that she hadn't worn, I laughed when she pulled it out and her face fell. "You don't like it. Is it too low cut?"

"No, it's perfect. I was winding him up and telling him that I'd get you to wear something low cut." We both laughed at that and Bonnie went into the bathroom to have a shower.

Ten minutes later and there was a knock on the door, I opened it to find Elena dressed for dinner. "Are you two ready?"

"I am, Bonnie's not coming to dinner though," Elena's face fell.

"Why not? Is she ill? Bon?" She called as she forced her way into the room, then when she saw the dress laid out on the bed her mouth opened into an O shape. "She has a date? She didn't tell me," she sounded hurt, so I replied "apparently so. She's just told me that she was meeting someone and won't be down for dinner, you know as much as I do," Elena narrowed her eyes at me, but said nothing and we went down to dinner together.

After we came back from dinner, Stefan appeared out of nowhere making us both jump, he and Damon usually went out together of a night to hunt and although they went their separate ways, they usually met up somewhere and came back to the hotel together. Unfortunately Damon was nowhere to be found and Stefan was not happy, he thought that I might know where he was.

Elena is a very bright girl who knows her friends very well, which was bad news for me. "That's very odd, Bonnie went on a date tonight and hasn't told anyone who she was with or where they were going, now Damon's gone without telling anyone where he's gone," she glared at me and I squirmed. Stefan ushered us into his room and made me sit down on the sofa, "well?" he asked. "Is Elena right?"

"Yes, I think so. Damon just asked me to get Bonnie to meet him in town tonight and made me promise not to say anything to anyone. That's as much as I know, honest." Stefan looked annoyed and Elena looked really angry. I got the feeling that this was directed at me, so I got up to go and I nearly made it to the door, but Stefan was suddenly between me and the door with his arms crossed.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To my room. I've told you everything I know."

"Lizzie, Bonnie's going to get her heart broken by Damon. He's just playing with her, you need to convince him to leave her alone. He'll listen to you more than he does to Stefan or me," Elena pleaded.

I turned to look at her, horrified at what they were trying to get me involved in. "No, I won't do it. How do you know he'll break her heart Elena? Don't you think she knows what she's doing by now?"

Elena got up and stormed over to me, Stefan stood between Elena and I. He seemed to be given her a warning look and she went and sat down in a huff, Stefan turned to me and smiled weakly. "Because Damon's in love with someone else, Lizzie. I think that he's only dating Bonnie because… it's expected of him." I stared at Stefan in shock.

"Alright. I'll try and have a word with him, but I'm not going to push him Stefan. If he wants to date Bonnie then that's up to him, can I go back to my room now? I was supposed to phone Lee twenty minutes ago and he's probably getting worried by now."

Stefan stood aside and I stormed out of the room slamming the door behind me. How dare they try and get me involved in this, just because Damon had announced to the world that I was their sister, didn't mean that I was going to be their go between in whatever argument that they had going on.

I went back to my room and straight away phoned Lee, but he was obviously asleep so I left a message on his voicemail and switched on the television instead. The boys were the hot topic on nearly every news channel, it had prompted raging debates about if they bit a girl who was influenced then was it classed as rape? There were also those who read the books and were not happy about Damon as he had threatened a five year old girl and had been known to be violent- had he really changed they asked? Then there were the discussions about Stefan as well- he lived in the UK and he hunted in a royal park. Hunting was banned in the UK and especially in any of the Royal Parks, so was he breaking the law by hunting and harming wildlife?

I watched it for a little bit, interested in the discussion until things got silly and someone started asking about why they didn't sparkle like the ones in Twilight, that did it for me and I turned over, not wishing to hear anymore. For the rest of the night I flicked through channels watching whatever seemed to be watchable, until I settled on a music channel showing classic rock videos. Just as I was about to call it a night at 11pm I heard the door to our room open, I jumped up from the bed and saw Damon kissing Bonnie goodnight. Bonnie looked extremely smug and was wearing Damon's jacket with the collar up, she broke off the kiss and grinned at me before scuttling past me to "get ready for bed," it was impossible not grin back at her. She seemed so happy and Damon was looking very, very smug, which was also a very good sign.

"Speak," he said to me, leaning against the door frame. His good mood suddenly looked as though it had evaporated, I looked back towards the bedroom worried that Bonnie might hear what I was about to say.

"She's asleep for now. Would you like to go somewhere a little more private perhaps?"

I shut the door to the room and followed Damon to his room two floors up, I sat down on the sofa as he shut the door. "Well?" He stood in front of me, arms crossed like Stefan, but Stefan didn't have his brother's poise as much presence when he was angry. "Stefan and Elena seem to think that you're in love with someone else and that you're only dating Bonnie because the fans expect it of you." He raised an eyebrow but his face darkened considerably, "so they sent you to talk to me about it. But of course they would and you're only to happy to oblige," he sneered.

I stood up and walked to the door, "I'm not happy actually. They wanted me to talk to you as they seemed to think that you'd listen to me more then them. Personally, I don't particularly want to get involved but I don't want to see Bonnie get hurt. I've done my job, if you have a problem with what I've said, then take it up with Elena and Stefan." I walked out of the door slamming it behind me, more annoyed then when I walked in.

The next day we flew back to Heathrow, the weather was cold and overcast in Atlanta which matched my mood exactly. I barley spoke to anyone on the plane unless they spoke to me directly. The weather in London was just as cold, but wet with it, I noticed that Damon and Bonnie were all over each other and that Stefan and Elena were glaring daggers at the pair.

We got back to Grove House and I was relieved to see Lee, my mood lifted a bit and we spent the rest of the afternoon in our room, oddly enough the whole house was very quiet for the rest of the day. When we eventually emerged, it was to get a takeaway from the kebab shop at the other end of the high street.

To be honest, I was still in a dark mood by the end of the week. Lee was getting fed up with it and Bonnie couldn't understand what was going on, but I kept my mouth shut. Finally, it was my day off from work and everyone except Bonnie and I were out of the house, so as soon as it was safe she marched into my room and demanded that I tell her the truth. "Stefan and Elena seem to think that Damon is going to break your heart. Stefan asked me to talk to Damon for him. I didn't want to get involved but they were really pissed off at for not telling them that you and Damon were on a date, so I told Damon and he accused me of taking their side and jumping into a fight that doesn't concern me."

"Awww. Lizzie, you shouldn't have got involved. I can take care of myself, but I'm definitely going to be having words with Stefan and Elena. I know the risks, I know what I'm doing and I'm not letting Elena keep all the gorgeous blokes to herself." I laughed, it was good that she understood, I just felt rotten for not telling her the whole truth.

"Actually, while everyone's out. I found this spell in one of those really old books that the charity shop up the road sells, from what I've translated using a Latin dictionary, it looks as though it's a spell that can make you go back in time." I looked at her in sheer astonishment.

"You're kidding me right? That's impossible. It's probably been written by some loon for a joke." Bonnie looked at me with some pretty steely determination, "it's not. I'm going to try it, I've just got one more thing to get and then I'm ready to try it."

"Bonnie don't! At least check with Stefan first, if it goes wrong or if you've mistranslated something you could get hurt." I pleaded with her, but she wasn't in the mood for listening. "It's fine Lizzie, I'll be fine. But please don't tell anyone, I want to test it first," I shook my head.

"No. Bon. I can't do that, I'm sorry. At least let Damon take a look, tell him you found it in the book." She looked at me and stormed out of the door, like the grass I was, I phoned Damon on his mobile. He was less than happy to hear from me since I hadn't spoken to him in a week, but I told him about the spell and that Bonnie was going to cast it. "Well it seems to me that you're getting involved again in something that's none of your business, Elizabeth. Bonnie wouldn't be that stupid, she's probably getting you back for telling her that I'll break her heart." I lost it at that point with him and looking back I should have probably just hung up and spoke to Stefan straight away, but hindsight is a wonderful thing and I'm just no good at keeping my temper around Damon. "You're an effing arse Salvatore! You're girlfriend's going to summon the Morrigan to help her with the spell and then she'll be in serious trouble but you don't seem to care, perhaps Stefan's right after all about you." I cut him off and phoned Stefan, who promised he'd be right over but that it could take him about twenty minutes, all I could do was wait. Bonnie had locked the door on me and I couldn't get in her room, so I sat outside trying to talk her out if it and failing.

fifteen minutes later a furious Damon was standing in front of me, he asked Bonnie to open the door and she told him to go away, I gave him a triumphant look of I told you so and he snarled at me with his fangs bared. "Be careful Elizabeth, be very careful. I'm in no mood to tolerate stupid clingy humans today," I slapped him good and hard round the face, my hand stung and his cheek reddened for a second. I stared at him with tears springing to my eyes, "fuck you Damon! You're a fucking arsehole! I hate you so much right now." I ran at him and started hitting him, but he caught hold of my arms, his face cold and hard.

Suddenly there was a noise from inside the room and we both stopped. Damon opened the door with one easy push and I followed him inside, there was a dark presence inside the room- she had successfully summoned the Morrigan who were the Mother, Maiden and Crone of the Celts. The maiden was also the Goddess of War and Death, she also had great powers if she chose to bestow on the favoured few, although not without a price.

Bonnie stood in the circle in a trance, Damon tried to step over the candles but the circle was closed and there was too much power for him to do anything, I walked straight into the circle to his amazement and tried to snap Bonnie out of her trance by talking to her at first and then being more forceful by shaking her but she didn't move. I heard a woman laugh which made me angry and with all my strength I shoved Bonnie out of the circle and that's when it broke with a bang and a flash of light, I remember Damon screaming my name and the woman laughing, then everything went black and I screamed as I fell and fell.

Suddenly I could see the sky above me and I fell onto someone, then I think I blacked out.
