Bonnie and Damon were in the living room of the Boarding House. Bonnie was placing white candles in a triangle. As she lit each of them she mumbled Latin words. When she was done, she blew out the match and looked at Damon.
“So, here’s what we’re going to do” Bonnie said. “You have to step into the triangle and sit down”
“And what are you going to do?” Damon asked, quite insecure.
“I’m going to stay outside the triangle” Bonnie answered. “I will put you under some sort of hypnosis. I will be with you in your subconscious”
“Very reassuring” Damon said sarcastic.
“Now listen carefully” Bonnie said. “Because what we’re about to do is pretty dangerous. I’ve never done this before and given the fact my magical battery is very low, it could go wrong”
“You mean you don’t know if you can bring me back?” Damon asked.
“You still want to do it?” Bonnie asked.
Damon sighed deeply. “I’ll take comfort in the fact that Katherine will eat you alive if I end up dead or forever stuck in my subconscious”
“Well, there you go then” Bonnie said and Damon walked inside the triangle. He sat down in Indian style and Bonnie did the same outside the triangle. She took his hands. “Close your eyes”
Damon closed his eyes hesitantly and so did Bonnie. As she mumbled Damon felt cold wind blow and a familiar smell penetrated his nose. His wrists hurt terribly and he felt something streaming down his arms.
“Open your eyes” Bonnie whispered.
Damon opened his eyes and though it was pitch dark, he knew exactly where he was.
He was back in his cage.
“So, here’s what we’re going to do” Bonnie said. “You have to step into the triangle and sit down”
“And what are you going to do?” Damon asked, quite insecure.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a date tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
