Chapter Five
Lexi's POV
I knew it! Damon just can't control his anger. And I'm the one suffering.
It had been so perfect. I wanted to spend the next years in Mystic Falls and enjoy the lazy life.
Thanks to Damon, now I was a ghost hanging around with him and Bonnie, a witch I didn't even know.
I started walking around town to escape them both. At the town's market I watched some kids until I saw a familiar face appear.
"Bonnie! ", one of the children shouted.
The little girl ran to her friends. So that was Bonnie. The Bonnie who was going to die in 12 years. But she wasn't dead yet. This made me think.
If the dead Damon hadn't been there, I wouldn't be dead. And normally ghosts can't change things in the living world. He did.
But to Damon and Bonnie this wasn't the living world. This was their past. And as Damon tried to kill Katherine, he changed it.
So maybe at the time they died, I've been alive because Katherine didn't kill me. She had no reason to.
I needed to ask them! I needed to know if I've been alive.
Damon's POV
Lexi was angry. Of course she was. It was my fault she died and I couldn't undo it. The last thing I needed, was for Lexi to leave me and Bonnie behind. Because three people are stronger than two, and maybe we could find a way to restore Bonnie's magic and get back home. Well really home. I heard Lexi leave earlier and I really hoped she'd return. Meanwhile I found Bonnie inhis room, going through the grimoires she had gotten earlier.
"Did you find anything?", Damon asked as he stood in the doorframe.
"Nothing on how to get back my magic, but apparently there's a way to get back to our old lives. It's difficult, and it's gonna take some time but I think it could work", Bonnie answered while going through the third and last book.
"And how do we do that?"
"We have to get you in the year 2000 and me in the year 2000 to the middle of our hometown, then I can do the magic, when I have it back, and we will go back to the place and the time we died and go on with our lives. It doesn't sound that hard to do but we have a few problems. First, you said that you were in Europe in 2000, so how can we get you home? Second, how can we get me as a little 6 year old to walk around town alone. And third, we have to do it first with Lexi, we have to go to her hometown and search for her in 1988, so 12 years before she died, and then bring her back."
Damon looked overwhelmed by all the informations, as well as the problems they had to solve.
"Errr...ok. But the very first thing we need to finish, is finding a way to get your magic back. 'Cause, no magic, no going home."
So they searched through every grimoire, that they thought could be useful. They didn't find anything, not even a hint of anything that could help them.
"I have to go back to my grams' house", Bonnie suddenly says, "There is one grimoire I remember, that is mostly about the power of witches, how to take them away from somebody, how to give them back and maybe how to retrieve them, too."
"Ok. I'll go with you but let's go tomorrow, it's late, and I reeeaaaally need to sleep now. We've been here for over 5 hours now", Damon answered quickly before he was out the door.
