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 letto 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 detto 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 te 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 te can do for me now. Find Jeremy. Get him to safety”
