Chapter Eight

"Your blonde friend tried to kill me, this fucking Bennett-witch is never home and I'm stuck in this town. You know what? I'm having a really bad day. No, wait. I'm having a really bad millenium right now."

Katherine entered the Salvatore House.

"And now, after you killed my 'blonde friend' you belive I would welcome you in my house? I don't think I can agree with that." Stefan wasn't suprised about Katherine showing up. He just felt hate.

"Oh, you will welcome me. As you know, I am really old. And I can kill you while I'm asleep." She walked past Stefan, right into the living room an grabbed a bottle of Bourbon.

"Bourbon? You're still drinking this? Maybe you'll never get the real taste. Don't you've got any wine? Bordeaux would be nice." She smiled while putting the bottle back on its shelf.

"What do you want, Katherine?" Stefan asked while angrily looking at her.

"I want…", she acted like she needed to think about that "a bathroom, a bed and something to drink."

Stefan smiled, too. "If I were you, I would go to a hotel and buy a bottle of wine while I'm on the way. But first of all I would leave this place. Now." He made a step forward so now he was face to face with Katherine.

"Stefan,", she started caressing his face with one hand "are you threatening me?", she said softly.

But then the expression on her face changed. "Did you put vervain on your skin?", she shouted, while looking at her fingers whitch looked burnt but already started healing.

Stefan was as suprised as her but he tried not to show that.

"I think that's destiny striking back", he answered.

Suddenly Katherine started holding her head in both hands and screamed in pain.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?", she screamed.

"I'm doing nothing. But I'll repeat myself: Leave here. Now."

Still in pain, she stood up and left the house as fast as she could.

The door closed behind her without anyone touching it.


"How did you-? Why did you-?"

Damon stared at Bonnie like he'd seen a ghost. "I don't know. I just felt angry about Katherine bitching around and then… it just happened. It was like a part of me returned." Bonnie started laughing. "It feels great!"

"Can you control it?", asked Lexi.

"I have no idea. I need to try." Bonnie looked at the bottle of Bourbon Katherine had talked about just minutes before.

"No, not the Bourbon! Can't you-" before Damon could finish his sentence, the bottle was already lying on the floor, leaving a wet spot on the carpet and some pieces of glass behind.

"I think it's offical. My magic's back!" Bonnie looked at the two others happily. "And you know what that means."

Slowly this information sunk into Damon's brain. "We're going home!"

He winked at Bonnie.

"Back to the future and", he looked at Lexi "back to the present."
