Damon walked through the aisles of the hospital when he bumped into someone.
“Aaah, hot coffee” Bonnie groaned. She had two paper cups of coffee in her hand, only now there was not much left of it.
“What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see how Elena’s doing. Caroline said she wasn’t feeling very well and then Jeremy told me you brought her here” Bonnie explained a little out of breath. “I thought she might like some coffee, but actually I’m not sure she’s allowed to drink it. Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter anymore”
“No, I mean, what are you doing here?” Damon repeated his question sharply. When he saw Bonnie’s confused expression, he continued. “You’re the reason Elena’s here in the first place”
“What?”
“If you hadn’t come up with that ridiculous crap of tea curing cancer, she’d be okay right now” Damon snapped.
“I didn’t force her to drink it. She had a choice and she chose to trust me” Bonnie replied in defense.
“And you failed her again” Damon pointed out.
Bonnie closed her eyes and prayed for patience. “Damon” she said when she opened them up again. “I swear I only had good intentions. I’ve learned my lesson. You think I was on a vacation? I went to a shrink to get over my problems with you. I was doing fine with Caroline, Elena didn’t seem to be so angry anymore, Jeremy talks to me again. Even you cared enough to tell me to be careful. Why would I want to risk any of that?”
Damon thought about and realized she had a point.
“Fine, then” he gave in reluctantly. He told her where she could find his girlfriend. “I’ll get some more coffee”

“Bonnie?” Damon shouted. “Bonnie, where are you? Get back here!” But when nothing happened he understood he had to do this himself. He looked up at the chains and started pulling with all his strength. It hurt immensely, but he couldn’t stop. If this pain was necessary to be with Elena, he would go through it.
After a few minutes, that felt like hours, his right hand was liberated. Without hesitating he pulled his left arm and this time it took less time to free himself.
Then everything went black.
Damon opened his eyes and found himself outside on the spot where Bonnies house used to be. He looked at his arms. They had healed. He scribbled up and looked around. He felt different, like he’d been born again. Elena. He had to see Elena. And so he started walking in the direction of the Boarding House. He could sense she was there.

The next morning.
A buzzing sound, coming from Caroline’s pedestal cupboard woke her up and she opened her eyes. She took her phone and opened it. She had received a message from an unknown person.
“I know what you are and we will destroy you” she read aloud. She swung her legs off the bed and searched for her ring. When she had found it she put it on and walked to the window. She shoved the curtain and stared outside.
The sky was grey. It seemed like it was going to rain.
Caroline opened the window and climbed over the edge.
“Game on, bitch” she mumbled, before she jumped and landed gracefully on the pavers.
