Bonnie woke up difficult. She opened her eyes. Everything was blurry and every limb on her body hurt. She felt a firm grip around her arm and someone pulled her up. Her head rocked back and forth when the same person slapped her in the face. “Booonniiee” a male voice sang. Damon, Bonnie realized. Slowly the events of the night before hit her fuzzy brain. Katherine, the attack, Damon’s anger. The room became more clear and she saw Damon standing right in front of her. “You’re awake” he said. “It’s about time” He made a step backwards, giving Bonnie the chance to catch a breath. “What do you want?” she asked scared to death but with a whiff of bitterness in her voice. Damon held his head diagonally. “I want to kiss you, make love with you, screw you until there’s nothing left to screw” he answered sarcastic and bitter. “What do you think I want? I want you to take away whatever’s keeping me in check. I want you to undo the spell you put on Elena” Bonnie shook her head, looking desperate. “I can’t, Damon, I’m sorry” Damon grabbed her neck, pressing her wound. She screamed. “And why can’t you?” he asked his voice caught in his throat. “The only way to free you is to kill me” Bonnie started and as a pleased smile appeared on Damon’s face Bonnies eyes filled with tears. “No, please, don’t” she begged. “I know you have every right to kill me, I deserved it. But think about Elena. She would never forgive you if you killed me… I know you love Elena” Without loosening his grip Damon answered: “Wow, even when she’s not around, you still find a way to use her as a persuasion” He let go of her and she walked away from him to the living room. She walked to the bookshelf where she got out a book. “I can’t undo the spell without being killed, but I can make it… lighter” she said, opening the book. Damon walked towards her. “What do you mean, lighter?” he asked suspicious. Bonnie browsed through the pages. “I can amplify your areas. So far you couldn’t go anywhere without me. I can change that, I can let you go wherever you want within this town” “Works for me, for now” Damon said. “And you can talk to whoever you want, even Elena. I won’t mind-torture you” Bonnie said breathless. “Well, you’re so thoughtful” Damon commented sarcastic. “How about Elena? Do you have to die for that, too?” “No, with Elena it’s complicated. There’s no reverse spell, she has to snap out of it on her own terms” Bonnie explained. “I can help her with that” Damon mumbled. “I got it. I need to hold your hands for this” she said carefully while she looked at Damon. Damon gave her his hands and looked away. This would all be soon over.
Sam was waiting in line in a local snack bar. While he was waiting he watched the news, airing on a flat screen television, hanging on the ceiling.
“The thirty-five year old Zoey Allen has escaped the local hospital of Castle Rock, Colorado. Allen was brought into the hospital after she got stuck in a fire. Allen is extremely dangerous and wanted for several murders. She might be armed”
The news reader gave a number people could call if they had any kind of information.
Sam walked out of the snack bar and conjured his phone. He quickly dialed Dean’s number.
“Hello?”
“Dean, Zoey escaped” Sam said fast.
“What? I thought she was dead” Dean said disbelieving.
“Apparently not” Sam said. “Lock your door. Don’t let anyone in”
“I wasn’t going to” Dean said and Sam heard him lock the door.

“Daphne? It’s time to let me go” Martin said soft.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to move on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”
Daphne shook her head. “I don’t believe that”
“You didn’t believe I would show up in the first place, either” Martin pointed out.
Daphne pulled her shoulders. “How do I let you go? Aren’t you supposed to walk into the light or something?”
Martin laughed. “Not exactly. You have to salt and burn my bones”
“So I need to go to the cemetery?” Daphne asked.
“No. That grave is empty” Martin said bitter.
“Then where are your bones?” Daphne asked nervous.
“You’re standing on them” Martin answered.
