Chapter Ten
"So what's your plan, Bonnie?", asked Lexi.
"It's no plan, it's an idea. As you both know, since I got my magic back I can move things, for example feathers", Bonnie began.
"Of course we know but how is this gonna help us? Do you wanna try to lift a plane up in the air?", Damon interrupted her.
"No, forget the plane. What I wanted to say is, if I can move something while I just look at it and concentrate, maybe I can move something disembodied even further. In this case, further would mean across the Atlantic, but it's a try."
Lexi and Damon were perplexed."Bonnie if this works that's the solution to, let's say, 80 percent of our problem."
"I know, but I don't know if it works. It's still only an idea."
Damon shruged his shoulders.
"All I hear is 'if'. Why don't we just try it?"
Bonnie's POV
I looked Damon in the eyes and grabbed his hand. "If this works, you'll find yourself in front of the Gilbert House.", I told him.
I closed my eyes and remebered all the time I've spent on the Gilbert's porch. I remebered the feeling of the wood beneath my fingers and the smell of the grass.
Then I tried to let all my magic float into my right hand which touched Damon.
I didn't know a spell I could use but I hoped this would be enough.
"Bonnie!", Lexi shouted.
I opened my eyes. Damon was gone.
"I made it!" For the first time since I got my magic back I felt true happiness.
fucking"But that's only the first part. I need to bring him back, too."
I closed my eyes again and imagined Damon's face.
I heard the sound of a body falling to the ground and Damon screaming.
I opened my eyes for the second time and saw Damon lying on the floor.
"I'm sorry! Are you OK?"
"Yes, I'm OK. In fact more than OK. I just travelled from here to the Gilbert's porch and back in like less than a second. Bonnie, that's crazy!"
"I know it's crazy, but it worked! This is Lexi's ticket home. But…"
"But what?" I could hear the fear in Lexi's voice." I don't think I can travel like this myself." I started shaking my head. "No, I absolutely can't."
"So what are we gonna do?"
"I'm gonna send you, Lexi, home to Cardiff. And when you're there you'll wait until it's dark, search for a phone booth and call here. I have never used a spell over the phone yet but it's the only chance we've got."
Lexi looked confused. "First, what are we going to do if it doesn't work, second, why do I need to wait until it's dark to call you?"
"If it doesn't work, I'll get you back here and we'll find another way to bring you back. You need to call in the dark because I might have never been to Cardiff, but a ghost using a phone booth would look suspicious. And there's a time difference between here and there."
Lexi sat down, holding her head in both hands. Then she looked up again.
"Alright. Send back there. It's night in Wales right now, so I can call you as soon as possible." She stared at me while holding up her hand. I took it and closed my eyes once again.
"Pray for yourself, Lexi. I hope it works.", said Damon who had been quiet the whole time.
"Cardiff, Wales, Great Britain. Cardiff, Wales, Great Britain. Cardiff, Wales, Great Britain." I started repeating this over and over because I didn't even try to imagine a city I've never been to.
Again I felt my magic floating trough my hand.
"Bonnie you can stop. She's gone."
It worked. I couldn't believe it. I mean, of course we don't know for sure if Lexi really landed in Cardiff but it felt right. It felt exactly like "teleporting" Damon just a few minutes ago. Damon was now checking how many hours time difference there is between Mystic Falls and Cardiff, so we know the time Lexi will call. Here it is about 11 am, that means in Cardiff it is about 4 pm, Lexi still has time to go to the center of Cardiff, from where I can (hopefully) bring her back to life. If it all works she will appear right here in the Salvatore's living room, where she died.
Damon and I waited and waited for hours, hoping the phone would ring every second.
