It's been a week since April made a deal with her father and two days since she moved back to her dad's place because that was how long the water supply has been without vervain.
School had started this week and things seemed to be back to normal, except April had to hide her relationship with Kol from her dad because she was afraid that once he would found out, he would kill Kol.
***
It was night, Elena and Elijah were walking around Mystic Falls, enjoying the quiet night and the small light the moon and the starts were offering with the clear sky.
Elena and Elijah decided to have a few night walks since she got back to school so they could have a moment just for them to spend time together, enjoying each other's company.
"The sky looks so beautiful tonight."
"It does. Just not as beautiful as you." Elijah whispered, making Elena smile and blush, then she leaned in to kiss him but she stopped and took a few steps back with her stomach, as she started to feel sick. "Elena, are you feeling alright?"
Before Elena could answer, she was throwing up blood and then she started to get dizzy, Elijah quickly ran to her and caught her before she could fall to the ground.
"Elena? Elena!" Elijah called her out in despair but she was still unconscious.
Elijah grabbed his phone, calling Bonnie Bennett, grabbing Elena in bridal style as he waited for Bonnie to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"It's Elijah. There's something wrong with Elena."
"What? Where are you? How fast can you get to the Salvatore's boarding house?"
"I'll be there in 2 minutes." Elijah said. "Start preparing your books."
Elijah walked over to a car, broke the window of the driver's seat, hot-wired the car, unlocked the doors, opened the passenger seat, grabbed Elena and sat her then put the seat belt on her, then closed the door and went back to the driver's seat, driving as fast as he could to the Salvatore's boarding house.
Once he was there, he took Elena off the car, picked her again in bridal style and quickly went to the front door, kocking on the door so they would open the door. Bonnie quickly opened the door and her face was full of worry.
"I already got some pillows so she could get comfortable on the couch." Rebekah said with a concerned look, making Elijah simply nod and lay Elena down in the couch, making her head rest on the pillow and then he used the blanket Rebekah handed to him to make Elena more comfortable.
"What happened?" Stefan asked.
"I don't know. We were walking and talking and when we were about to kiss, she took a step back, frowning, and started to throw up blood, then she passed out." Elijah said.
"Do you think someone might have put a spell on her?" Bonnie asked.
"Who could possibly want to hurt her?" Elijah asked confused.
"Katherine." Bonnie said.
"Another one of your exes who might still have a thing for you." Rebekah said.
"One of your enemies." Damon said.
"April's father." Stefan said.
"That isn't important now. Bonnie, please help her." Elijah begged Bonnie and she nodded, then started to make a spell.
Things started to get too strong, making Bonnie bleed from her nose, the lights of the candles go up and even a window to shatter into pieces, making the wind move around them in full speed, then Bonnie passed out and everything stopped.
"Bonnie!" Damon called her and quickly got on his knees, wrapping his arms around Bonnie and pulling her to him. "Bonnie, open your eyes. Bonnie, this isn't funny. Open your eyes. Bonnie!" Damon got more and more worried by the second and then look at Elijah with an angry look. "If something happens to Bonnie, I'll find a way to kill you."
"We need a stronger witch." Elijah said.
"Really? Bonnie is unconscious and that's all you can think about?" Damon asked angry.
"Everybody shut up! You are both worried with your girlfriends, I'll call a witch more powerful than Bonnie, and Stefan, you should text everyone to know what's happening." Rebekah said.
***
Everyone was now at the Salvatore Boarding house and a witch who was very powerful. The witch, named Katniss, was making a spell to see what happened to Bonnie and to Elena.
"So...?" Rebekah asked once Katniss finished the spell.
"Elena has been contacted by a very powerful witch and will only be able to wake up when the conversation ends. Bonnie is unconscious because she was trying to help Elena and got too intense because who ever is contacting Elena is very powerful." Katniss said.
"Do you suspect who this person is?" Elijah asked.
"No." Katniss said.
"Can't you just focus your magic with your ancestors and help us get her back?" Kol said.
"I needed the Ancestors just to not pass out like it happened to your Bennett witch." Katniss said.
"When will Bonnie wake up?" Damon asked worried.
"Give her a few minutes." Katniss said.
"Maybe it's best for you to stay in Mystic Falls for a little while, in case something else happens." Klaus said.
"Of course. But just because you were the one asking." Katniss said and winked at him, then left.
"What was that?" Caroline asked, feeling jealous.
"She had a fling with Nik. Did he forgot to mention that to you?" Kol smirked, making Klaus give his younger brother a deadly look.
"It was nothing, Love. She meant nothing to me." Klaus whispered and kissed her softly.
"You two solve your little argue. That's great! Now, can someone stop being useless and make a soup or something so Bonnie wake up and eat something. She'll probably be weak when wakes up." Damon said.
"Why don't you do it? We are not your slaves." Kol said.
"Because I'm going to take her to bed to be more comfortable." Damon said in an angry tone.
"Damon, don't worry. I'll make the soup." April said and Damon nodded and left with Bonnie in his arms.
"Niklaus, would you bring me blood bags. Elena will need to feed when she wakes up." Elijah said and Niklaus went to the basement to get the blood bags, but only because it was his brother asking, Elijah and Caroline were the only ones who Niklaus would let order him around.
***
Rebekah went to the library of the Salvatore's boarding house, hoping to find a book that would help them figure out how to stop this from happen again and how to protect her friends. Stefan followed her and simply helped her go through the books because he knew that Rebekah needed now was to have someone to support her and help her, instead of trying to make her forget about what was going on.
Damon stayed in his bedroom, watching Bonnie and making sure she was comfortable and alright, considering the whole unconscious thing. Damon only felt this scared of losing someone when Stefan would get in danger. Damon called everyone useless but was all because he couldn't stop feeling the most useless.
Kol eventually went to help April making the soup for Bonnie, letting Caroline in the living room alone with Elijah and unconscious Elena. She could see how scared Elijah was of something happening to Elena. Caroline was used to see Elijah always calm and being the one who would stop a sibling fight, but now Elijah was scared and couldn't hide his emotions like usual.
"Elijah, everything will be alright. Elena will be back to us, sooner than you think."
"Do you really believe that?"
"Of course. She's strong. She'll be fine." Caroline gave him a small smile. "I know that we aren't very close. And to be honest, it's mostly my fault because you kinda intimidate me... but if you ever need to talk, I'm here."
"I appreciate it, Caroline." Elijah whispered. "And if there's anything I can do..."
"Just keep loving Elena like you do." Caroline whispered. "Being a vampire can be tough and she already went through a lot of pain. You made her accept and appreciate being immortal. You make her feel loved and that's all I want for her. She was my best friend even when I used to be a bitch to her."
"She is truly remarkable." Elijah whispered.
AN: Hey guys! This chapter had a bit more drama. What did you think? Who is trying to contact Elena? And why would someone try to contact with her? Do you think they should trust this Katniss witch? What did you think about Caroline trying to comfort Elijah?
Side note: I think this story will have more than 100 chapters. Idk if it's good or bad but I've been writing ahead (like I usually do) and I'm getting the feeling this book will have more than 100 chapters. I hope that's okay with you. Love you!
