"I don't think this problem is physical," Kai said as Elijah handed Elena to him, "it's magical," he informed, concentrating hard, his palm resting on Elena's forehead.

"What are you trying to say?" Stefan questioned Kai's previous conclusion, speaking out everyone's minds.

"I'm saying, that someone has caused her to black out," Kai looked over to them, "by using magic."

"That isn't possible," Klaus replied, "the security here is top-notch, boy."

"I didn't say they had to be here to cause this," he pointed towards Elena, as he carried her to a room along with the others, shaking his head at his failed attempts to read further into the situation.

"Well, who caused this?" Rebekah inquired, entering the room with sudden interest.

"I don't know, okay?" Kai tucked Elena into bed, "I'm not some sort of God."

"You sure do act like one," Caroline narrowed her eyes, clearly irritated by Kai's attitude.

"Well, what next?" Stefan asked to no one in particular, "right, can we at least meet Damon if we can't take him with us?" he requested Klaus, to which Klaus nodded as a sign of approval.

He led them upstairs, towards the room Damon was held in, signaling for the hybrid guard to allow the lot to enter the carefully guarded room.

"God, finally," Damon said as he noticed them entering, "I couldn't even properly hear you guys. I need to feed," he whined and he sat weakly on the bed.

"Well Damon, looks like we have company," Klaus smiled slyly, "they will be staying with us for the next few days," he informed and threw a blood bag towards Damon's direction.

"Since we are your official guests.. what's your WiFi password?" Kai asked Klaus, holding his new phone up.

"I will go take care of your rooming arrangements," Klaus ignored Kai's previous question, and left the room along with Elijah and Rebekah following suit.

"Well since Damon and Elena have already chosen their rooms, I take it we can pick ours too? Because it's been a hell of a flight and I can't wait to go to sleep," Kai explained, stretching his arms and pretending sleepiness.

"Elena? Where?" Damon demanded.

"She's—" Kai began to inform Damon but was cut short as Stefan nudged him with his elbow.

"She's downstairs, she was tired so she went to sleep straight," Stefan said, laying out a flat lie as he didn't want to worry Damon any more than he already was.

"Ugh.." Elena groaned as she tried opening her eyes. Her throat was burning, and she felt drained from head to toe, only she had no idea how she got here or what caused her to pass out.

She struggled, but got up and headed outside the room, meanwhile almost tripping over her shoes.

It was dark, and she could see nothing except candles in the hall. No sound, no other source of light, nothing at all. Everyone seemed to be asleep. She headed over to the kitchen for some water.

"Elena?" a voice called, and Elena immediately turned around, which caused her vision to go blurry for a split second.

"Bonnie, hey," she greeted her, as she sat on the kitchen counter and poured herself some water, "why are you still up?"

"Couldn't sleep," Bonnie answered, sighing.

"Even after that tiring flight?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking.." Bonnie dragged as she ate another cherry, "about a way to get Damon out of this."

"Didn't Klaus already negotiate?"

"He did but.. it's a little risky, you know?" Bonnie said, her voice dipped in worry and concern, "I don't want to take any chances."

Bonnie stood up and paced back and forth around the counter, "it's just really dangerous."

Elena frowned at that. Sure, Elena didn't exactly love Damon, after all she had erased every good memory of theirs, but she remembered enough to know that Bonnie hadn't cared about Damon this much in the past. Now, however, she seemed to be acting completely different about Damon. It was as if something big happened in the prison world – something that changed Bonnie and Damon's relationship fully.

And Elena couldn't help but wonder.
