Bonnie typed a message out to Damon, letting him know that she had to go away for a few days. She played with her necklace and then closed her eyes to rest a bit.

"There must be balance. The witches sensed the bad that has been brought into this world. But the bad was to not for her to carry and master. You have always been the chosen one.  It is a gift. You have shown that like any of us you can fall, but you can rise knowing what is good and what is bad. And you have learned from the mistakes you have made. "- Ayana said.

At the Laffayette cemetery, Freya Mikaelson tried to break into a tomb. Although powerful, her magic wasn't able to undo it. She wasn't best pleased. She spat the spell out once again frustrated. No reaction. There was just one more puzzle to put in her spell and she would have it all.

"There is only one witch's blood that can open this tomb, as the witch that lies in the ground below is the keeper of the tomb"- Geraldine said.

"What is an old witch seeking in a cemetery at the midnight hour?"
"Same as you, witch business."-Geraldine replied.

In the hotel, Elejah looked at one another dreamily as they broke away from the kiss gasping slightly. 

Elijah trailed off with his hands down her back taking hold of her hands now looking at her with vision blurred with yearning. 

"I want this so much, but I want it the right way."-he whispered softly.

It's so simple and you know it is

We can't be to and fro like this

All our lives

You're the only way to me

The path is clear...

For god's sake dear

Just say yes

Just Say there's nothing holding you back
...
Cause I am aching and I know you are too
.....

I can feel your heartbeat through my shirt
This is all I wanted
All I want

Elena beamed her eyes at him and uttered in the same manner- "Me too."

intertwining her fingers with his.
What she felt she couldn't describe. It was like her heart blossomed up after a long  bleak winter.

He now brought their intertwined hands to his lips placing a kiss on her hands.

She then raised her hand to him as if not wanting to let him go just yet. It was invitation enough for him to speed back to her, sweeping her up and laying her gently on the bed.

She kissed him and as he kissed her back. Elena swiftly slid his jacket off, sitting up a bit he helped her out of her T-shirt and trousers trailing with small kisses up her belly to her breasts. Elena's body swayed under his fiery pecks, burying her hands in his hair. Hungry for his lips again she pulled his head up slowly to face her as they joined their bodies, hearts and souls together.

 Marcel walked into the bar, seating himself next to Gia.

"The showdown is sooner than we thought!"- he said.

"I don't care."- the female vampire said miffed and sipped down her drink.

"True it doesn't concern you at all. I thought Elijah had sent you for an errand?!"- Marcel said.

"That's done."- Gia siffted taking another drink.

Marcel knew the young vampire quite well now and she exhibited all symptoms of someone who fell for someone who was not returning the feelings she had invested.

"To get involved with any of the Mikaelson's always spells broken heart!"- Marcel said to her.

"Speak for yourself."- Gia spat at him.

"You should take it from me. I have been there twice and I've lost both times."

She looked at him with mixed feelings of anger and heartache.

"The doppelganger is not just any woman to him! He may have had other women and felt strongly for them. But I heard that Elena Gilbert is the only one that was given a promise of love."

"And  how do you know about it?!"

"Rebekah likes to talk about her brothers."
