Hehehe, Im at 74 reviews that's great. X3 this was actually one of my favorite chapters to write, and it was one of my favorite episodes to watch so I enjoyed it I hope you do too.
XRachealxBrowniex: Im glad you think it's cool, it was fun for me to write them arguing and it was essential to the plot line. And I'm also glad you like Alison and Damon together I'm always iffy with it because I always considered Elena and Damon such an epic pairing and trying to compare to that is hard.
Wickedlyminx: No it's not weird, a lot of people actually like them, and yes they did sleep together. And Im happy you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my story.
Arushi37: Maybe, although knowing Damon he probably will.
Guest: Aw, I love Tyler. But everyone's entitled to their own opinion so…

Alison opened her eyes only to shut them once more as the harsh sunlight hit her chocolate orbs, weird thing was, her window didn't point towards her bed. She was suddenly aware of an arm wrapped around her waist and her clothing, or lack of that is. That's when all the memories of last night came back, her fight with Damon, hooking up with Tyler.
She bit her lip peeking back to see Tyler still a sleep so she gently pulled his arm off of her and stuffed a pillow in her place. She grabbed her shirt and jeans of the floor and slowly pulled them back on, trying to matt down her frizzy hair.
"Sneaking out. I though only guys were supposed to do that." Alison silently cursed herself before turning back to Tyler with a guilty smile. He sat up groggily in his bed, still without a shirt.
"My, uh, sister called me; told me I needed to come home." She lied quickly. Although it wasn't exactly a lie, Alison was sure if she checked her phone she'd be over flowing with messages from Elena.
"Mm, okay." Tyler nodded, speaking in a way that said he didn't believe her, but he still wore a smile on his face.
"Don't look at me like that, I have to go, I'm sorry." She apologized quickly before climbing out the boys window, not wanting to get caught by his dad or anything she jumped down from the roof checking her phone.
Her face scrunched up in confusion when she didn't see a single message from her sister, but 15 voicemails from Stefan. A throat cleared from behind her causing her to freeze slightly. She spun around quickly to see Carol Lockwood standing there trying to hide a smile.
"Mrs. Lockwood, hey." Alison waved awkwardly, biting the side of her lower lip.
"Next time you, uh," She cleared her throat once more. "Decide to spend the night. Feel free to use the front door."
"Will do." Alison gave a two fingered salute, letting out a breath of relief when Mrs. Lockwood walked inside. The brunette turned on her heels pressing a button to play her voicemails as she began walking back to her house.
'Alison, where are you? I can't find Elena anywhere. Anna took her. Call me when you get this.' And 14 more like that overflowed her cellphone. Her eyes widened slightly at the fact her sister was missing and she flashed down the street, heading straight for the Salvatore boarding house.
…
At the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan came barging into the living room to see Damon lounging on the couch with a glass of bourbon and the grimoire.
"Anna took Elena." Stefan said right away, getting straight to business.
"Yeah, I got that from your 600 voicemails." Damon replied sarcastically not even looking up from the grimoires pages.
"Damon, all night long, every single street in town, I've been searching. What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?" Stefan asked, staring down at his older brother seriously.
"Well, then at least you know you'll see her again." Damon shrugged.
"Please," Stefan resorted to begging, sitting down on the couch beside Damon. "What do you know? You were with Anna you must know where she's living. Just tell me where I can find her." Damon glanced over at his little brother silently.
"Nope, you can go." He dismissed Stefan going back to scanning over the grimoire pages.
"You know all I can remember is hating you," Stefan admitted causing Damon to look back over at his brother. "There might have been a time where that was different, but your choices have erased anything good about you. But see, I also know that you have just as much reason to hate me. This all began with me. Katherine got taken away from you, because of me. And I'm sorry."
"Apology Accepted." Damon smirked slightly.
"So please just tell me what you know," Damon didn't respond, shifting the book in his hands. "It's Elena, Damon, if you know something… tell me." Damon sighed, standing to his feet, which Stefan quickly copied.
"I mean this sincerely," Damon tucked away the grimoire under his arm. "I hope Elena dies." Then he walked away.
"If it was Alison…" Stefan trailed off turning to see his brother froze in his step, his back still to Stefan. "Would you have told me where Anna was?"
"No. Alison means nothing to me, and I'm sick of everyone thinking differently." Damon spat, both himself and Stefan knowing what he was saying was complete bullshit. Before anymore words could be exchanged said brunette came running in.
Both glanced over at the wide eyed brunette curiously. She scowled when she saw Stefan and started taking menacing steps forward.
"Where is she? When did she go missing? Who took her? Where were you? And why didn't you stop them?" She took a step closer, shaking an accusing finger as she listed off each question, not taking a breath until the very end.
"I didn't realize she was missing until she already was." Stefan decided answering the last one was the best option, and sat down on the couch. Alison sighed calming herself down as she sat down next to the Salvatore and placed a hand on his thigh.
"Well get her back. I promise," She whispered soothingly. Not noticing Damon's blue eyes lock with the small gesture of her hand rubbing Stefan's knee. "So in order to get her back, we need to know exactly where we're getting her back from, so...?" Alison trailed of scrunching up her nose in confusion as she replayed her words in her head before nodding. "Yeah, that made sense."
"All I know is Anna took her, where I have no idea." Stefan shrugged rubbing his hands together, glancing at his older brother.
"Who's Anna?" Alison asked confused.
"A girl we knew back in 1864." Stefan explained, and Alison nodded.
"Well, then all we have to do is figure out where the vamp-bitch is and then we get my sister back. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy,"Alison snapped her finger, then looked at Stefan with an arched eyebrow. "Where exactly is that?"
"That's what I was just asking Damon." Stefan told the girl, and both looked over at Damon expectantly.
"Don't look at me like that." Damon snapped before turning and stalking out of the room, grimoire in hand. Alison scowled after his retreating form before turning to Stefan with a small smile.
"Don't worry," She placed a hand over his, causing him to snap his attention to her. "I'll find her. I'm her sister we have like this psychic connection." Alison joked, successfully bringing a smile to the boy's face. Alison's eyes suddenly widened.
"What?" Stefan's brows furrowed in confusion.
"Duh, I'm a seer, give me your hand." Alison rolled her eyes at herself, holding out her hand to the Salvatore.
"Are you sure this will work?" Stefan asked, placing his hand in Alison's. She gave him a goofy smile as she shook her head.
"Nope-" The word barely left her mouth before she was cut off. Her eyes turned white and her body went stiff.
Elena was frantically looking around a dark cave of sorts, her flashlight beam hitting the faces of several desiccated vampires.
"Damon! Alison!"
Suddenly her flashlight lands on the face of a pale girl with dark curly hair, who she could only assume was Anna.
Alison inhaled sharply, pulling her hand from Stefan's as the color came back to her eyes. She arched an eyebrow at the Salvatore. She had seen that girl before but where.
"Anna? I've seen her before…" Alison trailed off as it hit her and her eyes widened. "She's friends with Jeremy." Alison quickly shot up from the couch, collecting her phone and jacket from off the n-table.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asked standing up and following the girl to the door.
"To see if Jeremy knows anything about Anna. Then you can be the hero and save your girl." Alison winked before ducking out of the room.
…
Alison walked into the Grill, the temperature going from the harsh cold to the warm heat. The second she stepped into the building Caroline was in front of her with a wide smirk.
"Ali!" She chirped happily and the two girls headed over to the bar. "Please, tell me you're going to Duke's party."
"Duke's Party? As in the Duke that graduated like 2 years ago," Caroline nodded. "No thanks."
"But Alison." Caroline whined. Alison chose to ignore her and turned, scanning the room for Jeremy. She smiled when she saw him sitting at one of the tables doing something that she couldn't see, and just when she was about to walk over to him, Tyler and Matt walked over to her.
"What's wrong, Care?" Matt asked, looking from me to a distressed look Caroline.
"Alison won't come to the party?" Caroline accused gesturing to the brunette who had little patience for all this. She needed to find her sister.
"Of course Ali's come to the party." Alison arched an eyebrow glancing at Tyler.
"And what makes you think that?" Tyler smirked leaning forward on the counter so there faces were a mere two inches apart. Matt and Caroline shared a shocked look.
"Because I'm gonna be there." He spoke in a low voice causing Alison's lips to twitch up into a smirk.
"You're a little full of yourself aren't you?" Alison said just as quietly, her eye glancing down at his hand that now rested on her thigh.
"Just a little," He smirked then pulled away smirking widely. "I'll see you at the party." With a smirk he turned and left the grill.
"What was that?" Caroline asked as soon as Tyler was gone. Alison turned around to the two blondes forgetting that they were there.
"Nothing," Alison replied after a silent moment and stood up. "I need to talk to Jeremy," Alison stood up and walked over to her little brother. She slid into the seat across from him and smiled.
"Hey Jer, it's been awhile." Jeremy looked up at his sister confused.
"I just saw you the other day." He pointed off behind him. Alison rolled her eyes and nodded.
"I know, but we haven't really hung out since… since before mom and dad died," Alison frowned at the fact she hadn't really hung out with her younger brother in months. She shook it off quickly throwing a smile back on her face. "So I hear you have a new girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend," His comment only made Alison smirk wider, causing the boy to roll his eyes. "Her name's Anna."
"That's cute. So tell me about this 'Anna'." Alison said trying not to sound to desperate for answers.
"uh, she a little weird, kind of lurky, hot." Jeremy listed off. Alison sighed, leaning forward on her arms slightly.
"What about her life though, like who does she live with, how long has she lived in Mystic Falls. Where does she live?" Alison listed off questions trying to make them seem random. Jeremy looked at her weirdly and shrugged.
"I don't know." Alison sighed in defeat and stood up picking up her jacket off the back of the chair.
"Well, I got to go. I'll see you at home." She ruffled the boy's hair as she walked passed.
"Hey! Where were you last night?!" Jeremy called out to his sister. She turned so she was walking backwards to look at him a smirked.
"I spent the night at Tyler's." She wiggled an eyebrow suggestively causing Jeremy to scowl in disgust. Alison laughed at her brother's face and spun around to walk out the door only to smack right into a chest. She looked up to see Damon's blue eyes burning a hole through her head.
"Where were you?" He repeated with a grin on his face, but his tone was anything but happy. Alison rolled her eyes and pushed passed him.
"That's none of your business." She shrugged, walking out to the parking lot, Damon following close behind. Damon rolled his eyes.
"Everything's my business." Alison sighed deeply pulling open her car door before turning to Damon with a fake smile.
"Not anything that has to do with me," her smile dropped to an emotionless face. "Not anymore," She turned to get in her car but Damon quickly shut her door staring down at her.
She looked up annoyed to see an almost sad look in his eyes as his blue orbs poured into her own. She arched an eyebrow her eyes not leaving his. And just when she thought he was gonna say something he dropped his hand from the door and walked back into the Grill. Alison watched him leave until he was hidden from her sight and sighed, stepping into her car and driving back to the Salvatore house.
I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
Cause you're all that I got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Alison scowled at the audio, having left her Linkin Park CD in so it was the first thing to come on when she started up the car.
I am a little bit insecure
A little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I let go
Watching you turn your back
Like you always do
Face away
And pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
Cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
She finally slammed a hand down of the off button cutting the music off and sighed as she pulled into the long driveway of the huge manor that was the Salvatore boarding house. She got out slamming her door shut and flashed into the house.
Stefan was still pacing the floor just like when she left, his attention snapped to the brunette when he realized she was there. She sighed flopping down onto the couch.
"I'm gonna take that sigh as a bad thing." Stefan concluded, crossing his arms.
"He didn't know anything." Alison spoke what Stefan already figured. He sighed sitting down next to Alison taking her feet into his lap.
That's when his phone rang, 'Elena' appearing on the screen. Stefan quickly answered it.
"Elena, are you okay?"
"She's fine, for now," A voice replied that wasn't Elena. Alison could only assume based on the look on Stefan's face that, that was Anna. "Tell me you have the grimoire and she'll stay fine."
"I can get it." Stefan replied hesitantly. Alison glanced over to the doorway to see Damon standing there but didn't say anything.
"Which means your brother has it," Anna concluded. "And I have the witch. So one of you better meet me in the very public town square in 30 minutes. So we can safely discuss how fun it's going to be working together." Before Stefan could stop her Alison snatched the phone out of his grasp.
"Listen here you little vamp-bitch, if there is a single scratch on my sister when I get her back I will personally drive a stake through your heart myself." She spat before hanging up the phone and tossing it onto the couch and storming into the kitchen.
Stefan met his brother's gaze as soon as the brunette was gone and the older Salvatore smirked.
"Go ahead, grovel again. Oh wait, I don't care." Damon shrugged before leaving the room. He stopped just outside the kitchen and peered in to see Alison leaning against the counter staring down at a small glass of blood.
"She's my sister Damon." She whispered after a long silence. Damon sighed, nodding his head, his blue eyes never leaving her form.
"I know." Damon ducked his head before leaving the house. Pulling his leather jacket on tighter he climbed into his blue Camaro and began speeding down the road.
…
When he arrived at the Town Square he saw Jeremy and Anna talking, the youngest Gilbert smiled before leaving. Anna glanced back at him before sitting down on the bench, that's when he flashed to the spot next to her.
"Got a hot date or are you just plan on nabbing the entire Gilbert family?" He asked with a sarcastic smirk. Anna smirked up at the Salvatore.
"A party, right next to the old cemetery. Isn't that nice of them? Lots of warm bodies for starving vampires." Anna shrugged, with a smile on her face.
"I told you. I work alone." Damon spoke looking out at the cold town square.
"Yeah, so do I. But your minus a witch and I'm minus a spell book. So what do you say?" She offered glancing up at him with an arched eyebrow. Damon peered down at her silently.
"Stefan will come after you, you know that. For messing with Elena." He informed her and she shrugged.
"Then he won't be to happy if I kill her when I don't get what I want." Anna retorted with a scowl. Damon shrugged.
"And I'm supposed to care why?" He questioned. Anna's scowl melted to a blank look as she arched an eyebrow.
"Then I guess I'll just have to let Alison know you're the reason her sister's dead." Anna shrugged not even glancing at the Salvatore before getting up and walking away. Damon scrunched up his face before sighing.
"When do you want to do this?" He asked. Anna smiles before turning around to laugh at Damon.
"God, you Salvatore's are truly pathetic when it comes to women," She shook her head a hand on her hip. "Tonight. After sundown. Meet at the church." That's when she left.
…
Alison raced down the road, Stefan in the passenger seat. They had just gotten from Bonnie's grams house where the older woman had done a tracking spell to find the two girls.
They pulled up to a hotel room and went racing down the aisles of doors until they reached the one that Elena and Bonnie were in. Alison wasted no time in kicking in the door, glaring as a boy she recognized as Ben scrambled into the cracks between the two beds as the sun sizzled against his skin.
"Stefan! Alison!" Elena called out in relief, both her and Bonnie jumped up from their bed and made their way over to the two vampires.
"Get outside." Stefan ordered and the two girls wasted no time in dashing out the door. Stefan and Alison shared a look before glancing at the cowering vampire between the beds. Alison flashed forward and lifted him up by his throat not caring about the shriek of pain her got at the sun the side of his arm and face.
"When the sun goes down, leave town. If I ever see you again, I will kill you." Stefan warned from behind Alison. The brunette glanced back at Stefan before letting ben drop from her grip and watched as he shriveled back into his sun free corner. Alison scoffed.
"Pathetic." She muttered before following Stefan out to her car where Bonnie and Elena were standing waiting for Alison and Stefan.
"Did you..?" Elena began to question but was cut off by Stefan.
"No." He shook his head. Elena nodded, running a hand through her hair. The two girls got in the back while Alison got into the driver's seat and Stefan climbed into the passenger seat next to her.
"He didn't hurt you right?" Alison questioned after a long silence, driving back down the road to Sheila's house. "Bite you, touch you?" Alison listed off.
"We're fine Alison," Elena leant forward placing a hand on her sister's shoulder. "Thank you. Both of you."
"Well it was Sheila's tracking spell, thank her." Alison admitted with a shrug of her shoulders. "But we were pretty bad ass, busting down the door like Rambo." Alison laughed high fiving Stefan who only shook his head at her chuckling.
The rest of the ride was silent until they reached Bonnie's grams house. The four entered Stefan and Alison having been invited in earlier when the older woman did the tracking spell. Stefan, Elena, and Alison were off in the living room talking while Bonnie spoke to her grams in the kitchen.
"How did you know where we were?" Bonnie asked, crunching up her face in confusion.
"Many things can fuel a witch's power. Worry. Anger. After Stefan and Alison told me they had taken you, I had a lot of both. Simple locater spell was easy after that." She shrugged raising the tea to her lips.
'I'm sorry. About all of this." Bonnie apologized. Sheila smirked.
"Not as sorry as they're gonna be." Before Bonnie could question it Stefan and the gilbert sisters walked into the room.
"So what do we do now?" Elena asked as soon as the two withes were in sight.
"Well, for now, you need to stay here." Stefan ordered looking between the four girls.
"A prisoner in my own home? I don't think so." Bonnie's grams shook her head. Alison smirked, she always loved Bonnie's grams, the woman had so much sass.
"I can't protect you if you leave the house." Stefan furrowed his brows as he spoke to the woman.
"We'll protect ourselves." Sheila shrugged, leaving no room for argument.
"We need to let him have Katherine back," Elena spoke up randomly drawing the attention to her. "He's not going to stop until he gets her. If we help him, maybe that ends it." Elena crossed her arms with a shrug.
"No!" Bonnie looked at her best friend like she was crazy. "He doesn't deserve to get what he wants."
'I'm getting real sick of people saying that," Alison muttered shaking her head, now the attention was on her. She paused not knowing why she was defending Damon since he made it perfectly clear that he didn't want or need her.
"Sure, he's done some bad things but everything he did was out of love. Love for this one girl that everyone is keeping him from. We're going to help him get Katherine and we're going to do it because he deserves happiness just as much as all of us." Alison said sternly, meeting Stefan's gaze.
"Witches being pulled down by vampire problems. As much as we try to do to stay out of it," Sheila shook her head meeting her granddaughters gaze before glancing up at Alison. "I'll open the tomb," she then glanced over at Stefan. "You get your brother's girl and destroy the rest with fire. Then this will be all over."
"We still have to get Damon to agree." Stefan pointed out glancing over at his girlfriend and Alison.
"He already agreed once." Elena replied, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, and then we double crossed him. So now he's angry." Stefan explained. Alison shook her head.
"He's hurt. There's a difference," Alison interjected, giving a pointed look to her sister and Stefan. "I'll talk to him and then meet you at the tomb." Elena and Stefan shared a look before nodding.
…
At the Salvatore boarding house, Damon slinked on his leather jacket, holding the grimoire in his hand ready to leave. Alison walked in, pulling her jacket off and tossing it onto the back of the couch before crossing her arms. Sensing her presence Damon turned around to face her.
"We got Elena," Was all she said. Damon sighed setting the grimoire onto the table his blue eyes shifting from her to the ground. "And I convinced Bonnie to open the tomb for you."
"Doubt that." He scoffed causing Alison to scowl.
"Don't talk," Alison walked over to the top of the stairs that linked where she was standing to the sunken part of the room where Damon was. "Don't ask me why I'm helping you because I have no idea myself. What I do know is that no matter how hard I try, no matter how easy you make it for me to walk away… I can't," Damon opened up his mouth to speak but Alison quickly held up a finger cutting him off.
"I said don't talk," reluctantly Damon stayed silent. "I don't expect you to apologize… for anything that you've done since you came back here to Mystic Falls, in fact I don't want you to. Everything you did, you did out of love so don't apologize for it," Alison descended down the small set of steps down to the sunken area of the living room.
"I know what Elena and Stefan was wrong, but they were just trying to protect people that they love too. It may be hard to see but we're all on the same side Damon." Everything was silent as the two locked eyes.
"Not interested." Damon then turned to leave but Alison quickly flashed in front of him with a stern look.
"Yes you are, otherwise you wouldn't have been willing to work with us yesterday." Damon looked down at her, his blue eyes boring into her own.
"Then you-" Damon quickly cut himself off a certain look in his eyes. "They lied to me." Damon said, emphasizing 'they'. Alison kept a straight face refusing to let how giddy that made her show.
"And I'm telling you now, I won't let that happen again and I will help you get Katherine back. I promise." Her voice turned down to a whisper near the end now noticing how close they were. Alison cleared her throat taking a step back to put some space between them.
"I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it." Damon said seriously, picking up the grimoire off the table. Alison smirked a bit.
"When have I ever? Let's go." She motioned for Damon to follow as she made her way to the door. When she realized he wasn't following she peered back at him curiously.
"Alison, about the other night, I'm…" He trailed off, but Alison nodded anyway with a small smile.
"I know." With a curt nod the Salvatore followed Alison out to the car.
When they arrived at the old cemetery over a dozen students were partying, drinking and chatting. Alison bit her lip, having forgotten about the party, looking around as Damon dragged her through by her hand.
"I totally forgot about Dukes party. I hope they stay away from the church that would not end well." Alison looked around at all the party goers shaking her head.
"Your hope. Not mine." Damon said bluntly. Alison scowled smacking his arm lightly but couldn't help the small giggle that bubbled out of her. Damon smiled slightly glancing back at her and I brought back a feeling of normalcy or how they sued to act around each other.
The moment was broken when Tyler came jogging over with a beer in one hand and smirk plastered on his face as he approached Alison.
'So you decided to come after all." Alison opened her mouth to respond but Damon quickly cut in.
"Actually she's helping me with something so if you could leave, that'd be great." Damon sneered icily. Tyler scowled at the Salvatore that's when he noticed there interlocked hand. Just realizing what he was looking at Alison slowly pulled her hand out of Damon's grasp.
A small smirk pulled at Tyler's lips causing Alison to crunch up her nose in confusion at why. Suddenly she was pulled into a passionate kiss by the Lockwood boy, to shocked to pull away she stood there frozen. He was just as suddenly yanked away.
"Ever do that again… and I will kill you." Damon growled lowly before grabbing Alison's hand and pulling her with him as they made their way away from Tyler. Alison glanced back at Tyler to see him storm away angrily before glancing back to Damon who refused to meet her gaze as they continued on their way to the tomb.
"Are you sure Damon will come back with her." Alison could hear Bonnie's grams speak as they approached. Damon whistled as the two came into view and everyone turned to look at them.
"Brother. Elena. Witches." He greeted curtly as he strides passed them with the grimoire, and descends down the stairs Alison following. She flashed a thumbs up to Stefan before descending into the darkness.
They were followed shortly by the other four and got to work right away. Sheila starts lighting the torches with Bonnie helping while both Gilberts and Salvatore stand off to the side.
"Air. Earth. Fire." Sheila listed off as she lite each torch.
"Water." Bonnie handed her Grams a bottle of water which Sheila takes and starts sprinkling it on the floor around them.
"That's it? Just water from the tap?" Elena asked curiously.
"As opposed to what?" Sheila glanced back at Elena curiously.
"I just figured maybe it would be blessed or mystical or something." Elena shrugged causing the older woman to smirk slightly. To the right of her Alison saw Damon pull a blood bag out of his jacket and unravel it.
"What's that for?" She asked curiously.
"It's for Katherine. Got to have something to get her going. Unless your sister's offering a vein to tap," He smirked. Alison scowled looking up amused only amusing Damon even more.
"Admit it; you can't wait to get rid of me." Damon whispered causing Alison to look up at him with a sad expression.
"Don't say that." She shook her head. Before Damon could say anything Bonnie looked up and over at the four.
"We're ready." Bonnie joined hands with her grams and the two started reciting a spell with their eyes shut.
"What are they saying?" Damon questioned watching the torches flicker.
"Sounds Latin." Stefan responded with a shrug.
"I don't think its Latin." Elena interjected with a shake of her head.
"I pretty sure it is Latin." Alison glanced form the two witches to the other three and back, crossing her arms. After a few more seconds the tomb door creaked open. Sheila and Bonnie stop chanting and look over at the door.
"It worked." Bonnie spoke astonished.
"Of course it worked." Sheila spoke cockily causing Alison to grin slightly. Stefan peered over at Elena and took her hand leading her up the stairs to go get the gasoline for the fires.
"You ready?" Damon questioned glancing over at Alison, her hands dropped to her sides.
"What?" She arched an eyebrow confused. Damon glanced over at Sheila and Bonnie.
"You think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?" he questioned grabbing Alison's hand once more.
"Don't take her in," Sheila shouted somewhat frantic. "I'll bring the walls down."
"You'll bring the walls down if I don't. You think I trust you?" Damon rolled his eyes.
"As much as I trust you." Sheila retorted. Alison rolled her eyes.
"Enough. Look, he needs leverage. He needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside. I get it. I'll go. I'll be fine." She assured.
"May I?" Damon asked sarcastically as he pulled a torch from the ground. Alison gave a nod to Sheila and Bonnie, but something in the older woman's eyes told her she would regret going in there.
They got halfway through the tomb when Damon suddenly flashed away. Alison rolled her eyes.
"Damon!" She hissed glancing around at the desiccated vampires around her and sighed, flashing after him.
Up on the surface while Stefan was busy trying to stop Ben from making a meal out of Jeremy, Anna ran into Elena out where she had no protection from either of the Salvatore brothers or her sister. Anna smirked flashing in front of her with a smirk. Elena let out a small yelp and jumped back slightly.
"I made a choice a long time ago that it would be Gilbert blood that brought my mother back to life. I had Jeremy all ready to go, but… I guess you'll do." Anna sped at Elena clamping a hand over the brunette's mouth before flashing down to the tomb where the two Bennet witches were.
"Elena?" Bonnie gasped seeing the vampire holding her best friend.
"Don't move." Anna threatened tightening her grip on Elena's throat. Bonnie froze in her spot watching with wide eyes as the black haired girl took Elena into the tomb with her.
"Why did you let her go in there? And with Elena?" Bonnie questioned her Grams fiercely.
"Because she isn't coming out. None of them are, baby." Sheila told her granddaughter softly. Bonnie glances from her grams to the tomb and back with a confused expression on her face. That's when Stefan came jogging down the steps.
"Where's Alison? And Elena?" He asked immediately, looking around for the two Gilbert girls.
"Damon took Alison in… And Anna took in Elena." Bonnie explained to him hesitantly.
"What?!" Stefan when to run towards the entrance but Sheila quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Stefan! If you go in there, you won't come out." She warned the younger of the Salvatore brothers.
"What did you do?" He asked the older witch, his brows furrowing in confusion.
"Opening the door didn't remove the seal, it just opened the door." Sheila told him releasing his arm.
"What's the seal?"
"Some seals keep vampire from entering. This one keeps them from coming out." Sheila explained with a sad look in her eyes, knowing Alison wouldn't be coming out.
"Elena's human. She can leave," He deduced and Sheila nodded. "Anna and Katherine can't. Damon can't," His eyes widened as it dawned on him. "Alison can't."
"I tried to warn her but she didn't listen. I'm sorry." Sheila told Stefan sincerely but that did nothing for the devastated Salvatore.
Inside the tomb Anna was dragging a struggling Elena through the dozens of mummified vampires until her light landed on her mother.
"Mother! Mother!" Anna released Elena and knelt down next to her mummified mother before glaring up at Elena. "Your boyfriend did this you know."
"His father did." Elena corrected defensively. Anna stood up and faced Elena.
"And Johnathan Gilbert." Elena's eyes widened and fear as she went to go bolt away but Anna flashed in front of her and grabs the brunette. She yanks Elena's wrist up to face level and bite into it before feeding the girl's blood to her mother. Elena screamed loudly causing it to echo of the walls.
Further inside the tomb Alison perked up from her search for Damon and flashed over to the where she heard her sister's screams. Outside the tomb Stefan looked up at the tomb wide eyed and flashed in after his girlfriend.
"Stefan!" Bonnie called his name but it was too late, Stefan was already inside the barrier.
Both Stefan and Alison came to the scene of Anna feeding her mother Elena's blood at the same time. Stefan ripped the girl off his girlfriend while Alison helped her sister to her feet.
"Come on let's go. I'm right behind you." Stefan whispered to Elena as she ushered the girl to the exit Alison and Stefan following protectively. When they reached the entrance of the tomb Elena ran out while Stefan hung behind. Alison looked at him weirdly and went to exit only to be knocked back by the barrier.
"Stefan, Alison, what are you doing?" Elena asked curiously, looking back at her boyfriend and sister who were stuck behind the barrier.
"I have no idea." Alison muttered kicking at the invisible wall.
"It's gonna be okay. We'll fix it." Bonnie assured the three.
"What is it?" Elena asked glancing from the two witches to the two vampires.
"I can't." Was all Stefan said. Both Gilbert girls looked at him confused.
"Can't?" Alison repeated with an arched eyebrow.
"Can't what?" Elena asked frantically.
"The spells still up, we can't get them out yet." Bonnie explain gently to her best friend. Both Alison and Elena's eyes went wide.
"So I'm stuck here. Forever!?" Alison gestured to the inside of the tomb frantically.
"You went in there not knowing if you could come back out?" Elena questioned her boyfriend. Stefan didn't respond, averting his gaze to the ground. "Oh my, God."
"I heard you scream." Stefan admitted.
"You let me walk in here with Damon knowing I'd be stuck in here?!" Alison questioned the older witch, Alison didn't give her any time to respond as her eyes widened. "Damon. We can't leave him in here. We promised him. I promised him." Alison gave a pointed look to Stefan.
"I know."
"Even if we're able to break through the seal, we won't be able to hold it for long." Sheila informed the two vampires stuck behind the invisible barrier. Stefan nodded before going back into the tomb in search for his brother. Alison shared a look with her sister before going after Stefan in search for Damon.
Stefan walked into a far back part of the tomb to see Damon pacing the floor angrily.
"She's not here." He muttered kicking the dirt up with his foot.
"Damon." Stefan called his brother's attention but Damon ignored him.
"She's not here." He repeated.
"What?" Damon pulled out the blood bag he had brought along for the girl he was supposed to be rescuing.
"She's not here!" He repeated for the third time hurling the bag against the wall, its contents splattering against the stone.
"Damon, we need to get out of here." Stefan informed his older brother frantically.
"It doesn't make sense," Damon muttered ignoring his brother's orders once more. "They locked her inside."
"If we don't leave now, we're not getting out." Stefan told his older brother sternly trying ot make him see how rushed they were.
"How could she not be here?"
"It's not worth spending all of eternity down here. She's not worth it!" Stefan nearly shouted going to grab his brother's arm.
"No!" Damon shouted shoving Stefan away from him. Alison finally came into the room looking at Damon frantically.
"Damon, please!" Damon looked up and over at the girl, visibly calming at her presence. "We need to go." She begged. He hesitated, but then nodded and the three left, getting out of the tomb just in time. Elena embraces Stefan as soon as they exit and the tomb door closes.
Alison glanced over at Damon sadly but he only ignores her and head up the tomb steps. Stefan, Elena, and Alison soon emerge afterwards.
"Jeremy." Alison whispered flashing over to her brother's side. And places his head in her lap, causing him to groan slightly.
"He's okay." Stefan assured the girl as he and Elena walked over. Alison glances from her half-conscious brother to Damon who is staring at the tomb steps, complete devastation on his face. She gently places Jeremys head back onto the grass before walking over to Damon.
The older Salvatore glanced at her as she approached hesitantly. When he did nothing to shove her away she pulled him into a tight hug shutting her eyes and placing her head on his shoulder, feeling his sorrow.
"I'm sorry." She whispered sincerely. Damon hesitated before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in tighter needing it more than he'd like to admit, burying his face into her wild hair.
…
Alison had returned home with Jeremy while Elena had left to Bonnie's with her and her grams. Stefan and Damon went home which Alison didn't like, she didn't want to leave him alone, especially after what happened tonight.
She paced her room, fiddling wither her hair as she spoke on the phone with Stefan.
"How's Damon? Is he gonna be okay?" She questioned frantically.
"I don't know Ali." Stefan admitted with a sigh.
"I can come over. Make hot chocolate. Sit with him. Talk to him. Anything." She started grabbing her jacket and stuff for the night just about ready to flash over to the Salvatore Boarding house.
"No. You need to rest, you can check on him in the morning, I can handle him for now." Alison sighed at his words letting her things drop to the floor.
"Okay." She nodded.
"Okay." He repeated before hanging up. Alison sighed glancing down at her phone before falling backwards onto her bed with a defeated sigh.
