After a few minutes of chanting Bonnie looked very frustrated and said:
"I can't destroy it but I know what Veronica is going through… She relieving over and over again the few hours before her father died… She's trapped in it, unable to do anything to change the events… She keeps her injuries from one version to the other and is getting weaker by the minute…" Bonnie said with tears in her eyes.
"What can we do to stop it?" Sage asked.
"Until we find a way to destroy this necklace or at least empty it of its powers, we need to get it far from her." Bonnie said.
"I'll take it to the witch house!" Kol said as he grabbed the problematic necklace.
"Are you an idiot?" They suddenly all heard.
"Lilly?" Kol and Klaus asked at the same time.
She was standing in front of Kol and held the necklace in her hands.
"The power of the necklace is giving her the power to be visible…" Bonnie said in awe.
"She can touch it too apparently!" Sage said.
"You can't bring this to the witch house! It would combine its power with the dead witches and bring Esther back from wherever she is!" Lilly said.
Not only was she visible to everyone but they could also touch her.
"She's right… We have to get it somewhere else…" Bonnie said.
"Can't we use its power to bring Lilly back? Then it won't be able to hurt Veronica anymore and Mother won't be able to use it to come back…" Elijah suggested.
"Good idea!" Bonnie said as she light a few more candles all over the room and chanted some more for a while.
"We can't do it now… We have to wait for the next full moon… But I know how to block its powers temporarily… Someone needs to light the fire place and bring me some cold water!" Bonnie said as she grabbed her bag and went downstairs, followed by Lilly (still holding the necklace) and everyone else, leaving Klaus alone with Veronica for the time being.
While Bonnie was doing what she had to do to help her friend, Veronica didn't know if anyone would find a way to help her.
She remembered seeing a tall blond woman when she fell asleep who introduced herself as Esther, Klaus' mother and when Veronica refused to help her or leave Klaus, the old dead witch had gotten really mad and told her she was going to regret it…
After that, it had all been blurry for a while and she found herself in her car with Aaron behind her, pointing a gun at her and telling her to keep driving. She couldn't do anything to change the course of her actions and all she could do is get hurt and watch Keith die all over again.
Whatever she said, whatever she did, it always ended the same way… She kept watching her father die…
With every time, it was also harder to move, harder to fight, harder to stand… She kept her injuries from one time to the other and they kept getting worst. She could also feel herself getting weaker and she could only hope that Klaus would see that something is wrong and find a way to help her out of this hell. She knew he would, he loved her and she knew that the minute he felt something wrong with her, he would try to help.
Once more, maybe for the 15th time, she was trapped in the fridge and she didn't even have enough energy to hit the door anymore… What was the point if everything was going to happen the same way anyway?
The gasoline was poured on the fridge she was locked in.
Keith was calling for her.
Keith was fighting Aaron.
Aaron was laughing.
Hits were exchanged and the fridge was starting to feel like it was her coffin. Maybe it was going to end up this way... Maybe she would end up dying in this coffin...
Keith opened it only to be punched back by the murderous actor. She got out of the fridge with all the strengths she had left and hit her best friend's murderer with some piece of wood she had found. Aaron fell down and stabbed Keith in the throat…
Every time she relieved this moment, she had to watch her father die differently and it was just harder to watch.
Once more she found herself driving her car. Her tears were still here and she just wanted to make it end… She somehow knew she had to fight because if she died in her dream, she would die in real life and she didn't want that…
However the will to fight was escaping her and she knew she wouldn't be able to stand it much longer.
.
"It's done… The necklace is blocked and its energy is blocked until the next full moon." Bonnie said as Lilly disappeared from them.
"Well, since last night was a full moon we have about a month before us!" Weevil said as they all rushed upstairs to see Klaus hugging Veronica close to his heart as she hugged him back, crying all the tears in her body… Between her sobs she explained:
"Esther appeared and when I refused to do as she said she did… She trapped me and I couldn't do anything… My father died over and over again and I wasn't able to change a thing about it… Every time he died differently and Aaron was getting stronger while I got weaker…" She cried harder and Klaus held her closer, whispering in her ear that everything would be fine, that he would never let anything happen to her and that he loved her more than anything…
They had all suffered in their lives as vampires but watching Veronica and being helpless had been pure torture to them all!
