Recap: Jeremy's tattoo is complete and it's off to find the cure. Kol is "dead" thanks to a magical dagger that only Jeremy can remove.
"Do you know where they're going?" Klaus asked Adelina, as she finished putting Kol's body in a coffin and watching Klaus' hybrids take it back to the mansion.
"Silas is buried off the coast of Nova Scotia, that's where Shane is going to take them." Adelina said looking over at Klaus who was sitting in the Gilbert living room. "Make sure they burn."
"Oh I will." She smiled, walking out of the house.
"Does anyone else find this place, creepy?" Elena said as the group hiked through the woods.
"So then leave, you're presence isn't needed here." Rebekah said.
"Please don't start." Stefan tried, Rebekah and Elena had been going at each other all day. Just then there was a crack in the woods, Bonnie turned around. "What was that?"
"We're in the woods, Bonnie, there are little creatures running around." Damon said as he kept walking, following Shane. Something flashed past them, knocking Shane unconscious.
"Looks like something on this island doesn't want us here." Stefan said, as everyone dropped their stuff and was ready to attack. It past by them again this time, snapping Rebekah, Damon and Stefan's necks.
"Elena!" Jeremy yelled, but it was too late, Adelina grabbed Elena from behind. "Hello lover," She said before snapping Elena's neck, smiling as her body fell to the ground. "You know you're lucky I'm not as vengeful as Klaus, or else you'd all be buried six feet under." She said, stepping over Elena's body.
"Lina, what-" Just then Adelina was holding her head, screaming as Bonnie was trying to subdue her. Her screaming was stopped by laughter. Adelina stood up, unfazed by Bonnie's spell. "Oh, Bonnie. You should know not to attack family." Adelina smiled.
"We're not family." Bonnie said,
"Oh, Bon Bon, but we'll talk about that later. First I have to deal with my backstabbing best friend!" Adelina runs over to Jeremy grabbing him by the throat. "Nice tattoo," She smiled.
"You can't kill him!" Bonnie said,
"I'm not going to kill him, the last thing I want is to deal with the hunter's curse. I just want answers." Adelina squeezed Jeremy's throat, enjoying watching him struggle. "What did you do to Kol?" Adelina demanded, Jeremy struggled for air, Adelina rolled her eyes and dropped him. "What do you care, you're free." Jeremy wheezed.
"I care because he's my husband! Now what did you do!" Adelina grabbed Jeremy's chin, squeezing his jaw.
"He's desiccated." Jeremy said,
"That's no ordinary dagger, I'm guessing little witch over here spelled it." Adelina let go of Jeremy and went over to Bonnie.
"What's the spell, Bonnie?" Adelina asked,
"Only the person who used the dagger can remove it." Bonnie said, Adelina smiled, turning back to Jeremy.
"Bring him back." Adelina said to Jeremy.
"I can't."
"You put the dagger in him, take it out!"
"Kol will kill me, and Adelina, now you're free, he can't hurt you anymore!" Jeremy tried to reason with Adelina, she only laughed.
"That's what this is about? You honestly think that with Kol out of the picture I would want to be with you? Come on, Jeremy, it was one night, get over yourself!"
"You have feelings for me." Jeremy said,
"Feelings that are long gone now! You were my friend Jeremy, my only friend and I trusted you! I saved your ass more times from Kol then anything and this is how you repay me. By shoving a dagger through his heart!"
"He was trying to kill me!"
"Because he was scared! All we wanted was to be left alone! Please, Jeremy, don't do this! Just come back to Mystic Falls, let Kol go and we'll leave! You'll never have to see us again, please. Just let him go." Adelina pleaded with Jeremy, but he just stood there.
"We need this cure, Lina. For Elena, for everyone, you can take it too-"
"You honestly think I want the cure? After everything you all have done, what you did, you still think that I would take the cure and live out the rest of a miserably human life with you?" Jeremy's face fell, just then Rebekah woke up.
"Ah, Rebekah, still mourning I see." Adelina said,
"What are you doing here?" Rebekah said,
"Getting revenge of your older brother, but it seems that you're just a sympathizer."
"I want the cure." Rebekah said, Adelina just laughed, "Everyone wants the cure! Well, you know what? I don't, apparently none of you know that cost of getting this cure. Silas will kill all of you, and I would love to stay and chat, but I have a husband to resurrect." Adelina flashed her fangs and ran at Jeremy, but Damon and Stefan got up and grabbed her.
"Adelina, please, I know you're hurting and with your emotions back on we-" Jeremy said,
"My emotions aren't off, Gilbert. Believe me, if they were your head would be rolling on the floor." Adelina struggled against Damon and Stefan, Adelina saw that Jeremy had a stake ready in his hand. "Do it! You know you want to use that stake on me Jeremy, so do it! Kill me! If you can't have me, then Kol can't either that's why you daggered him. Well guess what? I'm never going to be yours! So kill me, because a life without Kol is nothing, so kill me!"
Jeremy put the stake away, "Help us get the cure. When we get it, I'll let Kol go. I promise." Jeremy said, Damon and Stefan let Adelina go, she just stood there, weighing her options.
"You'll let him go?" Jeremy walked over to Adelina, putting her hands on her shoulders, "I promise." He looked her right in the eyes. "We're all going to die anyway. Fine." Adelina looked over as Elena woke up and Shane started to come to.
Shane continued to lead them through the woods, the sun started to set so they stopped at an abandoned cabin for the night. Adelina was sitting in front of the fire, blankly staring into it, holding her wedding ring. "Mind if I sit?" Bonnie asked, Adelina didn't even look up. "I'm sorry abo-"
"Save it. I know you don't mean it, plus you were the one that gave Jeremy the dagger so you're at just as much fault as he is." Adelina said, her voice cold.
"What did you mean when you said we were family?" Bonnie said, changing the subject.
"I'm sure Ester told you that you are descended from Ayana, the witch who Ester went for the vampire spell." Adelina began,
"Yeah, that's why she needed me and my mom when she tried to link her children."
"Ayana was my mother."
"So what am I you're great, great, great, great, great granddaughter?" Bonnie said, Adelina laughed.
"I'm actually you're great, great, great, great aunt. Kol turned me before we were able to have children."
"So why didn't the spell work on you? It can't be because we're family."
Adelina showed Bonnie a necklace that had a pyrite stone. "My mother made these for me and my sister, to protect us against black magic, i.e. expression." Adelina explained,
"What happened to your mother, you know after you became a vampire?" Bonnie asked,
"Like any witch that would react to a vampire, she tried to kill me. She said I was an abomination and rejected me. I guess that's what made Klaus and I friends, both our moms hated us. One night, she put vervain in my drink and tried to kill me, I couldn't control my thirst and I tore out her throat." Adelina fiddled with her necklace, "She was the first person I killed; as a vampire with emotions heightened, that is something you never forget. 1000 years later and I'm still asking for redemption. I would give anything to have my mother back." Adelina explained.
"So what happened with you and Jeremy?" Bonnie asked,
"Not in the loop?" Adelina said, slipping her ring back on her finger. Bonnie shrugged,
"Jeremy is a great guy, the best, he's my best friend, he's saved my life. But that's the thing with humans, they run head first into situations they don't understand." Adelina explained,
"He said you have feelings for him?"
"I don't know what I feel for Jeremy anymore. In the beginning, I thought maybe we could have made it work; he's got that Gilbert charm, a lot of vampires have fallen for it. But Kol is my epic love, yeah he can be a possessive dick but we understand each other. He was there for me when no one else was and he's always been there for me."
"What about the cure? If we get it, would you take it?" Bonnie asked,
"Honestly, I don't know, all I wanted for my life was to have a family, kids, live on a farm somewhere. I was human for 17 years, I've been a vampire for 1000. I don't remember what it's like to be human. That was the allure of Jeremy; with him, I remembered was it was like to be human."
"Well then you should talk to him," Bonnie said, "If there's anything I know about friendship, its that in the end they're all you have." Bonnie got up walked away. Adelina sighed, getting up to go talk to Jeremy, when Elena came running out of the woods, "Jeremy is gone!"
"Jeremy! Jeremy!" Elena yelled as her, Stefan and Adelina looked through the woods.
"Scream a little louder, maybe the trees will tell us where he is." Adelina said.
"I'm sorry and how are you helping?" Elena said, "I thought you were here to seek revenge for Kol."
"Jeremy is the only way to get Kol back, if he's gone then so is Kol." Adelina said, glaring at the back of Elena's head. "Okay we've been at this for hours, we've searched this entire island, where's Damon?"
"With Shane," Stefan said. Adelina walked back to the camp sight to see Shane tied up to a chair, "Am I interrupting a moment?" Adelina said,
"Getting answers, pop a squat and take some notes." Damon said,
"What have you found out?" Adelina asked,
"What Shane needs for Silas-"
"The Hunter, the tombstone and a Bennett witch." Adelina finished, Damon looked at her, "You knew?"
"Of course, why do you think Kol and I were trying to kill Bonnie and Jeremy? No hunter, no witch, no Silas." Adelina explained.
"What about the dozens that died in sacafrice, where do they fit in? Figured that one out?" Damon asked,
"Silas can bring them back, people who have died and are trapped on the other side." Shane explained,
"That's how you manipulated the Pastor to blow up a house full of people." Damon said,
"He just wanted to see his wife again." Shane said,
"You need three massacres; fire at the Young farm, holiday hybrid slaughter, what massive blood-letting am I forgetting?" Damon asked,
"It hasn't happened yet." Adelina said, Damon looked back at Shane, "I'm going to go see how Bonnie is doing." Adelina said, leaving the tent.
"Find anything?" Bonnie said, as Adelina walked out of the tent,
"Nope, did you try a locator spell?" Adelina asked, Bonnie went into Jeremy's tent and grabbed one of his shirts and sat in front of the fire. The fire blazed, Bonnie threw his shirt into the fire, and concentrated. A small trail of fire led out the fire pit and into the woods. Adelina and Bonnie looked at each other, "This is usually the part when we follow the creepy magical flames into the creepy woods." Adelina said, as her and Bonnie followed the path hoping to find Jeremy.
Hours later, they found Jeremy tied up and gaged with Shane holding the tombstone. "How did we get here, the path behind us-"
"Magically disappeared? Thank the talents of Masak, he's a witch. Should you try to escape he'll ensure that you won't find your way back." Shane said. "So the gangs all here, Silas awaits."
They walked almost half way across the island and into a cave. "This is as far as I go, I brought you the witch and the kid, I want to get paid." Masak said, Shane went into the backpack and pulled out the tombstone, handing it to Masak. "Say a prayer for your souls." He said before leaving.
"That's what the tombstone is for? Payment for some mercenary?" Bonnie said,
"The tombstone is made of Qetsia's calcified blood, in some witch circles that stone is worth more than the Hope Diamond." Shane explained, looking out over the hole that led to Silas' tomb. "So, who wants to go down first?"
As they were rappelling down to the bottom of the cave, Adelina's rope slipped and she fell to the floor. "You okay?" Jeremy said running to her rescue. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, pulling a rock out of her hand. Jeremy wrapped her hand with a cloth before too much blood was lost. "You know I don't need that." Adelina said,
"Yeah, but it helps." He said, helping her stand. "Hey Lina, about Kol-"
"Save it. What you did I can't forgive you; you're only good to me to get back Kol." Adelina said, unclipping herself from the rope.
"I did it for you. So you could be free, happy." Jeremy tried to explain,
"I don't need you to be my knight in shining armor, Jer. I needed a friend, I never had a friend." Adelina said, as Bonnie came down. "Bonnie, you need to be careful, I've seen what this magic can do, if the expression gets out of control, Shane might not be able to stop it." Adelina warned her,
"I'm fine, Adelina, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Shane doesn't raise Silas, if he tried to harm any of us, I'll kill him myself."
As Shane came down into the tomb, he began to look around, "It's just amazing isn't it? After we raise Silas, all our sacrifices will have been worthwhile."
"Or he'll kill us all." Bonnie said,
"You'll see I'm right, remember anything happens to me, something a lot worse is going to happen to you." Shane promised.
"Is that a threat?" Adelina cut in,
"Alright. Where is this stupid magic passage she needs to open?" Jeremy asked,
"Just look for anything that looks out of place. Something that isn't occurring in nature, a drawing, an inscription or a geometrically perfect circle." Shane got down and started wiping away dirt, "This is it. This is the spot." He told Bonnie, her and Jeremy stood in the circle while Bonnie performed the spell on Jeremy's tattoo that would open the passage to Silas. As the tattoo disappeared, rocks around them began to fall.
Jeremy got up from the floor covered in dirt and dust. "Bonnie! Lina! Adelina!"
"We're fine, I'm okay." Adelina helped Bonnie up. "It worked." Bonnie said, looking at the tunnel they opened.
"You did it." Adelina said to Bonnie,
"We did it." Bonnie smiled at her, as Adelina, Jeremy and herself started toward the tunnel.
"Hey guys, some help? My leg is broken." Shane said from a couple feet away, his leg trapped beneath a rock.
"Best to stay off it then." Adelina said coldly as they left without him.
They walked blindly through the tunnels, not knowing where they were going. They came to a fork in the tunnels, "Let's split up, I'll go this way, and you and Jeremy go the other way. Adelina will hear me if I find something." Bonnie suggested.
"Um, creepy tunnels, how about we not splitting up?" But Bonnie was already gone. "Great." Adelina sighed, walking the other way, past Jeremy.
"How did this happen? A newbie hunter, a love struck vampire and a witch that needs adult supervision; how did we make it this far?" Adelina commented as they walked blindly through the tunnels.
"I'm glad I'm here with you." Jeremy said, Adelina stopped looking back at him, his face covered in dirt, but she could still see his cute innocent face. "Yeah, guess it's better you then the psychopath teacher." She said, as they kept walking. They turned a corner, and Adelina stopped, "Mother?" She gasped, seeing Ayana standing there as clear as the last time she saw her. "Hello, Adelina." She smiled at her. Jeremy pointed his flash light to see no one there.
"How are you here?" Adelina said,
"This place allows the living to talk to the dead." Ayana smiled, walking toward her.
"Adelina what's going on?" Jeremy asked, but Adelina ignored him.
"I'm so sorry, mother." Adelina said, the guilt for what she had done coming back to her.
"Hush now, I'm here. You're so close to bringing me back to you." Ayana said, holding Adelina's hand, she could feel them.
"How?"
"Silas can bring me back, all you have to do, is go in there and feed him, and everything will go back as before." Adelina began walking further into the tunnels. Jeremy ran over to her, pulling her out of the spell.
"Lina stop! This isn't your mother, if it was I would be able to see her and I can't. That isn't her ghost it's a hallucination. What you're seeing it isn't real." Jeremy grabbed her face, trying to pull her back to reality. Tears were forming in Adelina's eyes, "It's me. You're mother isn't here, I'm here. I'm real. I know you're scared, and I know you feel alone but you're not. I love you and I'm right here, okay?" Jeremy reassured her, holding her eyes the whole time. Suddenly the spell wore off, things came back into focus. Adelina looked around frantically for her mother, but she wasn't there, tears started falling.
"What happened?"
"Silas, he was in your head, he was trying to control you." Jeremy explained.
"Like Shane, the visions of his wife, that's how Silas controls him." Adelina said, putting the pieces together.
"You need to block him out. Close your eyes." Jeremy said, Adelina nodded, closing her eyes. "Listen to my voice and only my voice." Jeremy said, Adelina breathed in, calming down as Jeremy grabbed her hand. "I'm gonna get us there." He said as he led them through the tunnels to Silas.
They walked into the tomb, Bonnie was there. Adelina stopped as they walked in, seeing Silas' stone body on the pyre wrapped in vines. Jeremy seeing a box that Silas' body was holding, "This is it? How is that supposed to cure every vampire in the world?"
"It doesn't." Adelina said,
"What?" Jeremy and Bonnie said.
"There's only one dose. It was meant for Silas, after Qetsia made him immortal so he could die and be on the other side with her, but he never took it." Adelina explained, continuing to stand back from the body. Jeremy went to pull the cure from his stone hands, "Help me move it," Bonnie went to help, but Adelina stood back.
"Adelina help!" Jeremy called,
"I'm sorry, Jeremy I-I can't, I can't be here." Adelina said, panicking. "We're just here for the cure, I won't raise him." Bonnie said,
"You can't get to the cure without raising Silas!" Adelina said,
"Then how do we get it out!" Bonnie asked.
"He's been frozen like that for 2,000 years; you have to feed him blood." Adelina explained.
"Come on!" Jeremy was beating Silas' hands with a rock trying to dislodge the cure.
"There's got to be a way to do this without raising him." Bonnie said, looking to Adelina for help.
"It's the only way, Silas needs blood in order to be awoken. Which means no cure."
"We need it!" Bonnie said,
"It isn't some bong you pass around to anyone who wants it! There's only one! And who do you want it for? Elena? Personally I think she's better off being a vampire, she's less whiny." Adelina said, but she was stopped, by a stab to the back. Vaughn, another hunter stabbed her with vervain, then grabbed Bonnie in the spine.
"Don't listen to the witches boy, but we need to raise Silas. Now."
"Lina! Bonnie!" Jeremy said, running over to them, Bonnie was unconscious, but Adelina was still awake.
"Oh they're fine," Vaughn said, pulling out a knife,
"What are you doing?" Jeremy said,
"Something you should have done already." Vaughn said, "I'm raising Silas, then I'm gonna kill him." Vaughn cut his hand, dripping the blood over Silas' mouth. Jeremy grabbed Vaughn, but Vaughn countered putting Jeremy in a head lock. "You might be confused Mr. Gilbert, we're on the same team." Vaughn said, Jeremy kicked him, turning the head lock back on Vaughn. "You stabbed my friends!"
"I don't mess with witches, but vampires, she's lucky that's all she got." He said,
"You're not gonna use that cure on Silas." Jeremy said,
"That's what it's meant for!" Vaughn said, before Jeremy started fighting him again, but ending up back on the floor. "What else would you use it for?" Vaughn asked, picking up his knife, turning to see Adelina trying to crawl toward Jeremy. "Oh, for your little vampire girlfriend? Listen mate, let me make it simple, vampires, it doesn't work out." Vaughn stabbed his knife into Adelina's hand.
Suddenly Elena ran in, grabbing Vaughn by the throat was about to tear it out, "The hunter's curse." Jeremy reminded her. Elena stopped, instead slammed Vaughn's head into the side of the pyre. Elena pulled the knife out of Adelina's hand and pulled Jeremy up. "You okay?" She asked, Jeremy nodded. Bonnie was still unconscious, but Adelina was okay. Jeremy propped her up on a rock.
"Elena is here now, everything is going to be okay." Jeremy promised,
"We did it," Adelina smiled, her hand touching Jeremy's cheek. Elena came over to Jeremy, "Come on, we have to go." Elena said,
"Bonnie is hurt, the hunter stabbed her, you have to feed her." Jeremy told her,
"Okay but I have to make sure you're okay first." Elena said,
"I'm fine, what are you doing?"
"The cure. Jeremy after everything we've been through its right there." Elena said, getting edgy.
"It'll be there after we help Bonnie." Jeremy said, going to check on Bonnie.
"God I forgot how much of a brat you are." She said, it was Katherine.
"Katherine." Adelina said.
"I'm done playing nice!" Katherine grabbed Jeremy, slicing his wrist and holding it to Silas' mouth.
"No! Katherine! Stop!" Adelina yelled, but she was still weak.
"It's been too long little Gilbert!" She said, as Silas started to awaken. "No!" Adelina yelled louder, pulling herself toward them.
"Sorry about this." Katherine tore into Jeremy's neck, shoving toward Silas. Silas' hand shot up holding Jeremy to him. Katherine backed away, grabbing the cure and was gone. Silas grabbed Jeremy's neck after getting his fill, he snapped it. "NO!" Adelina cried as Jeremy's limp body fell to the floor, his cold eyes looking at her.
Adelina crawled her way over to his body. "No, no no! Jeremy! No! You can't die! No!" She cried, with Jeremy dead, Kol was gone. Her best friend was gone. She was alone. "Jer, please, please! No! I can't lose you too! You can't leave me alone! Jeremy please, I need you! Please!"
But she knew it was hopeless. Only cold, dead eyes stared back at her. She knew he was dead and she was alone. Forever.
A/N: Jeremy is dead. Kol is dead. Everyone is dead. Well not everyone. Adelina is alone. What will happen? What did you guys think about the Adelina/Bonnie family moment? Or Adelina seeing her mom? There will be more of that to come. Review! Tell me your thoughts!
