Elena was lying fast asleep, much to Damon’s relief. Something really wrong was going on out there and Damon dreaded the moment he’d have to tell Elena. She already had so much pain to go through, he didn’t want to make it any worse.
But Damon knew Elena had seen right through him and when she’d open her eyes she’d demand to know what was going on and he wouldn’t be able to lie again.
He took his coffee and brought it to his lips, when he felt a sharp, burning pain in his head. His cup fell on the floor as he moved his hands to his head. He fell on his knees as he screamed.
Elena woke up startled and looked terrified at Damon. Despite her agonizing body she stepped out of bed and bent through her knees. She took Damon’s shoulders and tried to comfort him.
Through his pain he heard a familiar, female voice, but the words were inconceivable.
“Damon, open your eyes. Talk to me” Elena begged, while she held his face. Damon opened his eyes and looked terrified as he saw Bonnie sitting in front of him.
“Damon, listen to me” she said insisting. “Veronica has locked us up in her house. I’m there with Matt and Keith. She has Jeremy. She shot him with her crossbow. I’ve tried to reach everyone else, but I can’t. I think they’ve been captured. I wouldn’t tell you if I had any other options, but right now you’re the only one who can save Jeremy”
“Damon, open your eyes. Talk to me” Damon heard Elena’s voice from afar. He opened his eyes and gazed in Elena’s. “What happened?”
The pain had disappeared as sudden as it had came. They stood and Damon took a few deep breaths.
“Bonnie sent me a message” Damon started, shaking still from the experience. He’d never get used to telepathy. “Veronica took Jeremy. He’s hurt. And she has our friends”
“So, they’re not at the Boarding House, having a party with Rebekah?” Elena asked a little reproaching. Damon shook his head apologetic and Elena continued. “Damon, there’s nothing you can do for me now. Find Jeremy. Get him to safety”

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

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.
