Bonnie came and stood in front of Serana.

"What do you mean? You can see auras?" Serana nodded her head.

"Yes. I can also tell that Stefen and Damon have souls. I know Vampires think after they die their soul doesn't come back to, but it does." I looked at Bonnie.

"It's a side effect. Every spell has one. They don't always have to be the same, but she will see auras for the rest of her life." Serana looked at Elena and shivered.

"What's wrong, Serana?" I asked.

"It's Elena's aura. It's not right." Serana shied away from Elena.

Bonnie knelt in front of Serana.

"What color is Elena's aura Serana?" I could see the fear on Serena's face.

"I can see the darkness from her being a vampire. I can also see some pink, but it's almost like she's just gone. Like, there's nothing. No color. The exact opposite of Damon. His souls is blue, all differ shades. Here's is just black. There's tints here and there of pink, but it's like she's not," Serana looked at Elena then me, "I know why her souls looks different. I think she shut off her humanity. That's the only thing that I think could cause the color in her soul to diminish like that." She looked concerned.

I didn't want to stay in a room with Elena any longer, but I had no choice. I kept a hold of Damon's hand sitting as far away on the bed from Elena as I possibly could.

"She won't wake up for a while, Serana. You're safe for now." I looked at Damon and smiled.

I kissed him and Stefen cleared his throat. I pulled away.

"What do we do? If Serana stays then Elena might try something like this again. I just don't know what to do to protect her until then." I stared at Elena.

At the moment the only thought about was Klaus but I couldn't suggest that. Stefen hated Klaus. I didn't know if Damon would be okay with leaving his brother. I wanted to speak up. I wanted to say let's go to New Orleans. However, I wasn't going to be the reason Damon left his brother and the home he'd made for himself.

"I'm okay with going however far away I need to until this blows over. I don't care if it's a couple of cities or states. I don't want to seem mean or callous, but if I do go I would want Damon to go with me. If push comes to shove I will go to New Orleans. For that trip I will be going by myself unless Damon wants to go, but I won't force him. I care too much to do that. I will do whatever you guys deem best. If you can't make a decision then New Orleans here I come." I looked at Damon.

He looked happy. It seemed weird. It was like he was happy because I made the choice for him to come with me. I returned the smile.

"I can't lose you brother. Please stay with us, both of you. We will put the house in Serena's name so Elena will no longer be allowed in." I thought about it for a moment and looked at Damon.

"What do you want, Damon??" He looked surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"I would like to stay for a little while. Let you finish school maybe." I smiled and kissed him.

"Then we will stay. I would love to finish school and get to know all your friends and whatnot." Stefen seemed genuinely happy that we had come to an agreement.

"That still doesn't tell us what we are going to do with Elena. Where should we put her?" Damon asked.

I bit my lip and began to think? The basement. That was the only thing that flitted across my mind. That was the only way I could keep an eye on her, but then I thought about Elijah. The moment that she woke she would need out because she wouldn't have permission to be in the house.What about the church? No, that wouldn't work. That would cause so much strain on Bonnie. I couldn't do that to her. I bit my lip.

"I don't know where we should put her. Fells Church is a no. Undoing and redoing the spell would be too much for Bonnie and I to do by ourselves. I thought the basement, but that would still be dangerous. We would have to keep her desiccated because the moment she awoke she would be in tremendous pain from being in the house uninvited. I don't know what to do. I know you all are friends with her or care about her, but I don't want to constantly be in danger." I rested my head in my hands.

Damon wrapped his arms around me. I heard Bonnie sigh.

"The only choice is here." Bonnie said.

I looked at everyone and saw one person was missing. Caroline!

"I've got it. I know where to put her, but I would like to talk to Caroline. It's a sensitive subject because it has to deal with her dad, but no one ever uses it anymore. As long as Elena is weakened with Vervain it's the perfect place to keep her locked up. I don't want her to stay there long though, only long enough for her humanity to become turned back on." I said.

"Where were you thinking Serana?" Stefen asked.

I bit my lip.

"Where Caroline was tortured by her Father. I know it's not ideal! I wouldn't want that to happen to me but what else are we supposed to do? Where else can we put her?" I was getting worried.

"It will work. Stefen, let's go." Bonnie started walking out of the room clearly upset by my suggestion.

"Tell her I'm sorry," Stefen picked Elena up, "Wait!"

Stefen stopped and I rushed over to him. I put my hand out and onto Elena's chest. If I had visions and could see aura's I should have magic. I closed my eyes and focused. I found it fairly easy. It was warm. I left a bit of what was my magic and it surrounded the humanity of Elena's soul. What I hoped felt like a mother's love or a sister's embrace.

"What did you do?" Stefen asked.

"I left a bit of my magic in her to encourage her to turn her humanity back on. I hope it helps." I went back to Damon.

Serana came back to me. I could tell she was worried. I could see it on her face. Bonnie had stopped in the doorway to watch Serana and listen to our conversation.

"What did you do to Elena, Serana?" She looked at me and smiled.

"Nothing bad. I put some of my magic into her. To comfort and encourage her. My magic I'm guessing comes from nature so I'm hoping that it helps relieve whatever she's going through." I saw Bonnie smile.

She left and Serana laid down on my bed. She had closed her eyes and just relaxed. She looked exhausted. I got on the bed next to her and pulled her into my arms.

"Are you okay Serana?" She hugged me and pressed her face against my chest.

"Serana?" I asked again.

"I feel wrong. Being in Elena's body felt so wrong. It was like if I didn't fight I would disappear. The poison felt horrible. I can still feel it worming its way through my veins. I never want to go through that again." She hugged me tighter.

"Do you want to shower Serana?" She looked up at me and smiled.

"How about a bath?" She kissed me.

I knew it wasn't a fuck me kiss. It was a normal kiss between a couple and it felt nice.

"Let's go." She slid off the bed.

She stripped slowly, taking things slowly. Then she held her hands out towards me. I looked up at her and saw happiness. I took her hands and pulled her towards me.

"Thank you for coming back, Serana." I smiled at her.

"I'm glad I came back to Damon. I will always come back to you no matter what." I picked her up and she squealed.

I laughed and she looked surprised. She did nothing but stare at me until I set her down. I put her in the tub and kissed her.

"Is it that shocking to hear me laugh?" I was being cocky.

Serana stuck her tongue out at me.

"Of course it is. I've only ever heard you chuckle, never a full blown laugh. I hope I hear that laughter more often." She smiled up at me.

"I hope you do too. My brave Serana." I turned the water on.

She smiled and blew me a kiss. I leaned down and kissed her.

"Wine?" I asked, knowing full well she might want it after what happened.

She smiled at me.

"Just one glass tonight." She relaxed into the tub.

I was gone and came back. I set the glasses and champagne out. I stripped and then joined her. She took the glasses from me and I opened the bottle. I was a little heavy handed tonight. Serana smiled at me.

"I'm okay Damon. I promise." I put the bottle down and leaned forward.

"I know, but that doesn't stop me from worrying. Especially after what happened today. You have been through so much." I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"I have, but I have you Damon. I know I will be okay." She took a sip of her wine.

I was going to spoil this girl as much as I possibly could.

After we left we contacted Caroline and Sheriff Forbes. They met us where Caroline's dad had held her. Stephen was taking Elena down with Liz. I was so surprised by Serana's behavior towards Elena. She didn't hate her, but had stood up to her. Serana wasn't afraid to call her out on all her bullshit. I no longer felt bad for Elena. Serana was a wonderful person. She wanted to help Elena even though Elena almost killed her. I wouldn't have done that for her. Elena wouldn't have done that for anyone. I stood there and watched as Elena came to after Stephen finished shackling her to the chair. Elena jerked and looked ready to murder someone.

"Where the hell am I? What the hell Bonnie? Did you take that bitches side too? How did she win you over? Spew some nonsense about how I have Damon wrapped around my finger and how I want Stephen back? Or how I'm a conniving bitch who thinks she's selfless but in truth is selfish and expects everyone to sacrifice everything to save me and only me?" I knew right then that Serana was right about Elena.

I had always put my faith in Elena, but right then I knew that what Serana said two years ago was true.

"No Elena. She said no such thing. She wanted to find a way to get you to turn your humanity back on. She didn't mention anything about how selfish you are. She simply wanted to help you today even though you almost killed her, and yourself. If you had stayed in Serana's body while Serana died in yours you wouldn't have been able to come back. You are very lucky she said something or else you would be dead. You will stay here until your humanity comes back." I left.

Stephen, Caroline, and Sheriff Forbes we're outside waiting for me.

"How did she take it?" Caroline asked.

"Not good, that's for sure. I just can't believe Elena would do this." I went home.
