Second Chances

Fool Me Once

He nods and stays quiet. "Why are you being quiet?"

"I'm scared that she won't be there." He whispers.

"I've already told you Damon, and when anything happens, I'll be here for you. You don't need them or her." I comfort.

"Okay." He says with a small smile.

"I am headed to Sheila's to talk about tonight with her and Bonnie."

I knock on her door and almost immediately, it opens.

"Yes?"

"Sheila Bennett? I'm a friend of Bonnie's. I was wondering if I could talk to you." I raise my hand for her to shake. She takes it.

"You're the Donavan girl. Part witch, part vampire."

"I am, I wanted to express my worries about something and ask for some guidance."

She thinks for a moment then says, "Come in."

I looked at her in shock. "Thank you." I walk across the threshold. We both sit on her couch and she waits for me to speak.

"Something's going to happen tonight. Vampires want to open the tomb under the old church. And they want Bonnie to do it."

"The tomb full of desiccating vampires? I don't think so."

"They are going to force her into it whether she wants to or not." I look up at her. "I have visions. I can see things. Sometimes the future or sometimes the past."

"What did you see."

"You helped Bonnie unseal the tomb fully. And then you died."

"Then it's my time."

"No. I want to help with the spell, or you guys can channel me. But I won't let you die, especially if the vampires are going to get out anyways. You would have died for nothing."

She looks at me for a minute. "Okay, I will let you help. But only because I don't want to leave Bonnie alone. Then I will help you learn magic. I can tell that you obviously need help with that."

"Thank you. I will meet you guys there and make sure you are safe from them as well." I start walking out.

"We can protect ourselves." I laugh and leave.

When we all arrive, I help Sheila set up. She starts lighting the torches.

"Air. Earth. Fire."

"Water." Bonnie hands her a jug.

"That's it just water from the tap?"

I roll my eyes at her. "As opposed to what?" I ask.

"I just figured it would have to be blessed or mystical or something."

Damon brings out an O positive blood bag.

"What's that?" Stefan wonders aloud.

"It's for Katherine. Gotta have something to get her going. Unless your girls offering a vein to tap." I snicker, quickly moving my hand in front of my mouth to hide it.

"Admit it. You can't wait to get rid of me."

Stefan sighs. " I can't wait to get rid of you."

We finish setting up so I stand up from my crouched position. "We're ready."

We start chanting, all three with our hands linked. After minutes of repeating, the fire grows bigger and we can feel the spell link and the door open.

"You ready?" Damon says towards Elena.

"What?"

"I'm not going in by myself so you can seal me in."

"Don't take her in. I'll bring the walls down."

"You'll bring the walls down if I don't. You think I trust you?"

"You trust me, don't you? I won't let them." I say looking at him.

"I'll go." Elena says. Damon picks up a torch and they walk in.

Stefan runs up to grab the gasoline and flamethrower.

Anna runs in and speeds into the tomb.

"Why did you let her go in?"

"Because she isn't coming out, baby. None of them are."

"The seal stopping any vampire from leaving is still there, but we will remove it for a bit. That's what I'm here for." I give Sheila a look.

"Oh honey, I told you that you could help with that one spell but if it's my time, you can't stop it from happening."

"No! I won't let you do it on your own."

"I have Bonnie. You can't stop fate baby, and I won't let you."

Then all I see is black.

When I come to, I look around and see- my room? How did I get here?

I stand up and rub at my neck. Ow. I walk out of my room and down the stairs towards my living room. As I step inside, I see Damon with a glass of what I'm assuming is bourbon. He is just standing there.

"She wasn't there?"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

He walks over to me with an emotionless face. "I don't want to talk."

Next thing I know, his lips are on mine. At first, I freeze not knowing why he's doing it but eventually I relax and move my lips against his. He plants his hands on my waist and I feel his tongue asking for entrance. I open my mouth and let him explore inside.

His hands move further down to my ass then to my thighs, tapping them with his fingers. I take the hint and jump up, wrapping my legs around him. He speeds us into the wall, our lips moving in sync.

Andddd I guess you can figure out what happened after that (;
