Author's Note:

Thank you all for your great reviews. There are about two to three chapters left until the finish. So here is chapter thirteen. And also make sure you check out my new story "Dark Warrior". Enjoy!

Chapter XIII

Bonnie POV

The plan was simple. I would deactivate the device and Elena would give the device to Isobel, in exchange for Jeremy. I sat there in the living room of the boarding house as everyone argued.

Damon and Anna wanted to storm the house were Isobel was keeping Jeremy and kill anyone who got in their way. Pearl, Harper and Stefan were all in agreement with Elena's plan, although I think the only reason Stefan was on board so he could get Elena to forgive him. Pathetic, I thought.

Elena, Pearl and Stefan were busy arguing with Damon and Anna trying to get them to see their logic, while Harper remained silent.

Harper POV

I agreed with Miss Elena. Her plan would work, but she now she only had to convince Damon and Anna. Damon didn't want to risk it, he didn't trust Bonnie to do as she promised and Anna was in love with Jeremy and she only wanted to protect him.

I watched Bonnie from across the room. She reminded me so much of Emily, head strong and a loyal friend. I finally moved and went to sit next to Bonnie.

"Damon doesn't seem to trust you!"

"Well I really couldn't care. Because I don't trust him either!" She replied. I could sense the hatred she had for him.

"Well do you trust me?" She hesitated clearly taken back by my question. She looked me in the eyes.

"Do you trust me?" She asked, disregarding my question, but I answered her none the less.

"Yes!"


Jeremy POV

I sat there and stared at her. I couldn't not believe this was the same woman who gave birth to my sister, to my caring, loving, selfless sister. I was no longer angry at Elena, how could I be, I now understood her actions and now I just wanted to make peace. I wanted to be as we once were.

"You seem confused Jeremy?" She asked in an emotionless tone.

"Yea a little. I'm just wondering how such a cold heart less bitch like you, could be my sister's mother." She seemed taken back by my boldness for a moment and then before I could blink had her hand around my neck.

"I would watch what you say if I were you…"

"Or what? You can't hurt me…. You can't hurt or kill me, because if anything happens to me, Elena will never give you the device." A wide smirk formed on my face as she released me and left the room leaving me with her minions.


Stefan POV

"Because he's in love with you!"

I could feel Damon's and Pearl's eyes on me. Anna was no longer there, she immediately took off after Elena called home. I looked down to the ground; I could feel anger within me begin to rise. I looked at Pearl's expression, and she looked, calm. Could everyone see it but me! I thought angrily to myself.

As Isobel walked off with her minions in tow. I could see Elena on the brink of tears, I saw Pearl beginning to step towards her and I immediately ran to Elena's side and pulled her into a hug.

Pearl POV

That controlling little parasite! I thought to myself as I watched Stefan comfort Elena. Elena looked over his shoulder towards me and I gave her a small smile. I just wanted to go and dismember Isobel's head from her body, but now was not the time.

Elena then shifted her gaze to Damon. Damon looked away from her; he couldn't look her in the eye. It would seem Isobel was right, he was in love. I mean I had my suspicions, but here and now was the only proof that I needed.

Damon POV

NO! NO! Was all I was I could think of. Isobel told her, Time to kill the messenger!

I couldn't look at her, all she would have to do was to look into my eyes with those beautiful chocolate brown eyes and she would know everything. She can't, I won't let her, and she wasn't mine. I will not have my heart broken again!


General POV

Damon and Pearl sat opposite to each other on the couch in the living room of the boarding house drinking and laughing as they discussed the many ways they could kill a person or a vampire. Harper was upstairs and Anna was still at Jeremy's, which made Pearl a little on edge, but not because of Jeremy, but the thought of her daughter being under the same roof with John Gilbert, but Anna assured her that only Jeremy knew she was in the house.

Stefan POV

I walked into the boarding house after taking Elena home, I found Damon and Pearl drinking. I glanced at Pearl for a moment before fixing all my attention on Damon! Damon rolled his eyes as got up and walked towards the liquor cart. Pearl downed the rest of her drink, before saying goodnight and ascended the stairs.

It was now time to deal with Damon once and for all.


Cliffhanger!

I hope you all enjoyed and I will try to update soon!
