"I'm not lying, Caroline. I swear." Bonnie told her.
"It's true. I saw her throw it into the field." Elena said.
"Then how'd it end up here?" Caroline asked.
"Emily." Bonnie realized.
"Who's Emily?" Caroline asked.
"My ancestor. A ghost." Bonnie told her. "Why won't she leave me alone?" Elena looked at her sympathetically.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked. "I have no idea what's going on. You guys do this all the time."
"No, we don't." Elena said.
"Actually, she's right." Bonnie said. She turned to Caroline. "I can't talk to you. You haven't really listened to anyone in a while."
"That isn't true." Caroline protested.
"I'm a witch." Bonnie told her.
"Yeah, you've proven that." Caroline said. Elena looked at her, surprised at how cold Caroline was acting.
"See, that's exactly what I mean." Bonnie said. "I'm trying to tell you something. You don't even hear it." She walked out of the kitchen, frustrated.
"When have I not been listening?" Caroline asked Elena.
"Well, you haven't exactly been there for her when she needed help recently." Elena pointed out. She thought about how Bonnie just came out with her secret. She knew she had to be honest with her.
Back at the Grill, Jenna was talking with Alaric. "Jeremy just left for home."
"So how long have you been here?"
"Most of my life. I recently got back here." Jenna explained. "I left for school, but mostly because there was this jerk I dated. Not making that mistake again."
"What did he do?" Alaric asked.
"Usual stuff, cheated on me and lied about it. What about you?"
"Well, I used to be married. My wife disappeared." Alaric told her. Jenna looked at him. "I know. That usually ends the conversation."
"What happened?"
"That's what me and the rest of the North Carolina Police are wondering."
"So why did you move here?" Jenna asked.
"Well, I heard she grew up around here and figured she might be hiding in a town nearby. And I've heard that this place has a lot of history."
Elsewhere, the Salvatores were playing darts. "Man, you always win at this." Damon said.
"Some things take practice. You taught me that, remember?" Stefan pointed out.
"Okay, what are you up to? I can always tell when you're up to something, brother."
"I could ask you the same thing." Stefan said. "I heard about what happened. At school. She's completely freaked, Damon."
"Can we talk about this somewhere else?" Damon asked him.
At Elena's house, Bonnie was sitting in the living room when Caroline came out. "Bonnie, I'm sorry about that. I just don't believe in any of that stuff. But, that doesn't matter. You're my friend and you're right, I haven't been listening as much as I used to. But I'm listening now." Bonnie looked at her.
"Thanks. That means a lot."
"Elena, you can come in." Caroline called. Elena returned to the living room. She had listened in on everything she said. "I think I know what might help. Why don't we have a séance?"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Bonnie said.
"I'm with Bonnie on this one." Elena said. She had no idea if it would work with someone who was technically dead helping them.
"Come on. This Emily girl has some serious explaining to do." Caroline said.
A few minutes later, the lights were turned off and they were sitting in a circle surrounded by candle light.
"What are we doing?" Bonnie asked.
"I don't know." Elena admitted.
"Be quiet and concentrate." Caroline told them. "Close your eyes. Now take a deep breath." She instructed them. They did what she said. "Bonnie, call to her."
"Emily, you there?" Bonnie asked. They both turned to look at her.
"Really? That's all you got?" Caroline asked. "Come on." Bonnie tried again.
"Emily, I call on you. I know you have a message. I'm here to listen." The candle flickered, went out, and then went back on.
"Did that just…" Elena began. She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it happen.
"Yeah, it just happened." Caroline said. Suddenly, it got cold in the room. Elena barely felt it, though she saw the others shivering.
"It's gotta be the air conditioning." Bonnie said.
"Ask her to show you a sign." Caroline told her. Bonnie was too scared to do anything again. "Emily, if your among us, show us another sign." Nothing happened.
"See, nothing's happening." Bonnie said. "I can't do this anymore. I'm done. Someone get the lights on!" Elena got up and switched the lights on. "Guys, the necklace is gone!" They all looked at each other.
At the park, the guys sat down. "Okay, what did you want to talk about?" Damon asked.
"What do you want with Katherine's crystal?" Stefan asked.
"That woman didn't tell you?"
"No, I was so mad at Katherine that I didn't really talk to her before she died." Stefan admitted.
"I planned on saving her, okay?" Damon told him.
Back at Elena's house, the girls were searching for the necklace. "Fun's over, Caroline. Give it back."
"What? I don't have it." They heard a sound. "What was that?"
"I don't know." Elena said. "Jeremy, is that you?" She called. Bonnie found the necklace in the bathroom.
"Guys…" Suddenly, the door slammed closed on her. "Guys, open the door! Help me!" Elena raced up the stairs. Caroline followed her.
"Bonnie, what's going on?" Elena asked.
"Bonnie!" Elena got worried as Bonnie started panicking. "Bonnie, unlock the door!" Caroline screamed.
"Bonnie!" Suddenly, the door opened. Bonnie looked at herself. "Oh, my God. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Bonnie told them.
"Unbelievable." Caroline said. "You completely tricked us."
"Caroline…" Elena began.
"No, you scared the hell out of me." Caroline walked away angrily.
"Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"I'm fine. Everything's fine." Bonnie told her as she stepped out of the room. Elena got the feeling that something wasn't right.
"What do you mean you planned on saving her?" Stefan asked.
"The day Katherine got taken away, I went to Emily." Damon told him. "I asked if she had any idea where they were taking her and if it was possible to save her. She explained there was a spell keeping some of the vampires locked in a tomb under the ruins of Fell's Church."
"You think that's where they took her?"
"The crystal was used to put up the spell, but it's also the only thing that can open the door."
"Think she's still alive?"
"Probably. She did study the supernatural, you know." Damon pointed out. "However, before she died, Emily lost the crystal. I found it the night of that party, then Caroline found it, and now Bonnie has it."
"What else did Emily tell you?" Stefan asked.
"That's it. The only other thing she told me was that it only works in the hands of another Bennett witch."
"That's why you went to Bonnie earlier."
"I never meant to freak her out. I had no idea she was still new at all this."
Back at Elena's house, Bonnie was walking away from them. "I can't believe you tricked us like that." Caroline said.
"Are you okay?" Elena asked Bonnie.
"I have to go." She told her.
"She's leaving and so am I." Caroline said.
"You guys can't leave." Elena protested.
"I can. I've had enough of this fake witch stuff for one night." Caroline told her.
"Thank you for calling me. I'll handle things from here." Bonnie told them.
"Where are you going?" Elena asked.
"Where I have to." She headed downstairs.
"Bonnie?" The realization hit Elena in that instant. "Oh, my God. Emily!"
Bonnie looked up at them. "I have to destroy it. There's no other way." She headed out the door. Elena and Caroline went to follow her.
"Wait!" The door slammed closed on them.
"What's happening?"
"I don't know. It won't open." Elena said. She tried using her strength to open it, but even that didn't work. Suddenly, it opened and Jeremy came in.
"Whoa. You alright?"
"I'm outta here." Caroline left.
"I think we have a problem." Elena said. She explained that Bonnie was possessed and had no idea where she was headed.
"We better call Stefan." Jeremy said. "I'll try to help."
A few minutes later, Elena was on the phone with Stefan. "Elena? What's going on?"
"It's Bonnie." Elena explained. "Emily's possessed her. She said something."
"What was it?"
"She said she had to destroy the necklace. That it was the only way to handle things." Elena said. "Then she left."
"Where did she go?"
"I have no idea." Elena admitted. Then she remembered what Bonnie told her about her dreams. "The ruins of Fell's Church. Near the cemetery. That's where she led her in her dreams. I don't know how long she'll be like this."
"Relax, we'll find her." Stefan told her.
"Jeremy, come on." Elena said. She headed to the door and paused. "Bonnie trusted me with her secret. Do you think we can trust her with ours?" She knew what she was asking was big.
"Bonnie is our friend and we need someone to talk to about it." Jeremy said. "I mean, besides the Salvatores."
"Thank you, Jer." Elena said.
"If she's really your friend, she'll get over the shock." Jeremy added.
"I hope you're right, Jeremy." They headed outside.
At the ruins, Emily was still in Bonnie. She turned when she heard a twig snap. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm not who you think I am, Damon."
"Emily. I should've known."
"I need to protect my family." Emily told him. "I'm sorry." She pushed him back with her powers.
"Looks like someone's gotten stronger." Damon commented, impressed she was able to use her abilities while possessing Bonnie. Emily looked up as another figure appeared.
"Stefan."
"Hello, Emily."
"These people should never know such evil." Emily told them.
"What do you mean by evil?" Stefan asked. He turned to Damon.
"Don't look at me. This is the first I've heard of it." He protested.
"I can't let you risk unleashing them into the world." Emily explained.
"Oh, god. I never thought of that." Damon looked away from her.
"What's going on, Emily?" Stefan asked.
"If the door is opened, they could all get free." Emily explained. Then Stefan realized it.
"The vampires…they're locked in there with her, aren't they?"
"She may be alright, but it's too great a risk."
"Isn't there someway we can eliminate them and save her?" Damon asked.
"Damon, don't you get it? If we open the door, then there will be like fifty vampires out, possibly looking for revenge." Stefan pointed out. Damon looked at him.
"We have to protect the town." He got up. "Emily, go ahead. Do it."
"You are a very noble man, Damon Salvatore." Emily told him. She finished setting up the pentagram on the ground. "Incendia." The ring lit on fire. At that moment, Elena and Jeremy showed up. The group watched as she threw the necklace into the fire, destroying it.
"Bonnie!" Elena called out. Suddenly, her friend collapsed to the ground, hitting her head on the impact. The group surrounded her instantly. Her forehead has a small spot of blood forming. Damon turned away, suddenly feeling like he was going to be sick.
"Oh, no. Is she…" Stefan began.
"She's alive, but she might not be for long." Elena said. He got out his phone to call the hospital. "That won't be necessary." She bit into her wrist and gave her blood to Bonnie. He watched as the injury slowly started healing.
"That's amazing."
"Guess it's one of the bright sides to this." Jeremy said. He went over to Damon. "I know how hard this is. It wasn't easy for me to give Vicki the life she deserved, but it was the right thing to do."
"I just won't believe she might be dead. Anyway, I'm getting out of here. It's been a very weird night." He got up and left.
Elena was talking with Bonnie. "What happened? I remember seeing you guys and then blacking out." Bonnie told him.
"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Elena asked.
"I'm fine. It's just…" She touched her forehead, where her injury was gone. "That's weird. I thought I was bleeding."
"You're okay now, though." Stefan told her.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Bonnie asked them. The group looked to each other.
"There's something you should know about me." Elena said. "But not here. Let's get back home first." Bonnie got into the car.
"Will she become a…" Stefan began.
"No, she'd have to die for that to happen." Elena said. "That's why we're keeping an eye on her tonight. Once it leaves her system, she should be okay." She sighed.
"What is it?"
"I have to tell her about me." Elena said. "I need her to know. After all, she trusted me with hers."
"Are you sure about this?" Stefan asked.
"No, but I can't hide it anymore." Elena told him. "Stefan, can you come with us? It'd be nice to have some support when I explain everything to her."
"I should probably get home, but I guess I can help you out first." Stefan told her. The group headed back to Elena's house. Jeremy and Stefan were with her as she explained everything to Bonnie.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you this before, but I was afraid we wouldn't be friends anymore." Elena told her.
"I always knew there was something different after the accident, but I thought it was just because you were still upset about it." Bonnie said. "But to find out your best friend is not only dead, but a vampire? I have no idea what to say."
"I never wanted to be like this, Bonnie. But I can't change it."
"Elena…" The two of them held each other. Bonnie was still in shock over the whole vampire thing, but she knew that Elena was still Elena.
