Elena nodded.
“You should go home, Elena” he continued. “I’ll call you as soon as I know my brother’s safe”
“No, I want to come with. I need to know he’ll be alright” Elena protested.
“Elena, I promise you I won’t let anything happen to him” Stefan said. “But like you said, you’re not yourself. You can’t take care of yourself. I can’t protect the both of you”
Elena shut her eyes. “Alright, then” she sinabi soft.
“Ask Caroline to give you a ride home…or stay at the party” Stefan said. Elena shook her head. “I’m not in the mood for partying” she said.
“Yeah, I figured you wouldn’t be” Stefan said. “Then go home, Elena. Try to get some rest, I’ll take care of Damon”
Elena reluctantly started walking away.
Stefan rushed in the direction Damon had taken five minutos ago.
Damon ran for his life when suddenly his path was blocked sa pamamagitan ng his younger brother. “Stefan” he said. “Please, help me”
“I will, my brother, I will” Stefan said. He threw his left arm over Damon’s shoulder and pressed him against him. The susunod moment Damon felt a burning pain in his left side. He wanted to free himself, but Stefan held him too tight. “Why?” Damon mumbled.
“It’s nothing personal” Stefan sinabi as Damon dropped on the ground. “I just want Elena back” He put away the vervain syringe and picked Damon up. He dragged him over the ground.
An instant later he was in Bonnie’s basement, dropping Damon on the floor.
“Hey! Please be a little careful! That is my toy you’re playing with!” Bonnie reproached.
“What’s going to happen with him now?” Stefan asked, looking at Damon.
“That doesn’t matter” Bonnie said. “All you need to know is the real Elena will be coming back really soon”
Stefan nodded nervous. “Can I ask you something? When you came to the Boarding House with Damon’s suitcases, you didn’t seem to be surprised I was back. Did you know?”
“I’m a powerful witch, Stefan” Bonnie answered. “I foresaw it”
Stefan nodded again.
“Now you have to go” Bonnie said. “Go home, to Elena. You’ve done your part, I’ll do the rest”
After one final look at Damon Stefan turned around and left.
