Run, that’s all he could think about. He had to run before she would catch up with him. And as he ran, he felt the aching coming back. His back started burning again, his head bounced and with every step he took it was as if thousand needles stung in his feet. But he had to keep running, for he had to stay ahead of her.
A few yards further he heard two voices argue. He recognized the voices. He wouldn’t count on the male one, but the girl would listen to him, she would understand, help him.
“Elena, wait!” Stefan yelled. After his proposal she had jumped out of the car and ran away.
“I don’t believe you, Stefan! Asking me to marry you? In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m not myself right now, I can’t make a decision like that. And even if I would be myself I still couldn’t. I’m freaking 18, I don’t want to be committed, not to you or anyone else for that matter” Elena shouted angry.
“Elena! Just stand still, already! We can talk about it!” Stefan yelled back desperate.
“Why? You seem to have planned it all out for the two of us” Elena fired.
Stefan caught up with her and flashed in front of her. “I’m sorry” he quickly said. “I should’ve known better than to drop such a bombshell on you. But like I said, I don’t want to lose you” he took Elena’s hands in his and looked her in the eyes. “You don’t have to answer me right now, but can you promise me to consider it?”
Elena didn’t have to answer that, for someone collided to her. She turned around and even in the shadows of the leaves she could see the fear on Damon’s face. It was so present she could actually feel the fear.
“Damon?” was all she said with a small voice.
“Help me” Damon said scared to death.
“What’s going on?” Stefan asked.
“She’s coming for me” Damon said.
“Who is?” Stefan asked, but Elena remembered how afraid Damon had been after he had saved her from Amber.
He took her arms and gently pushed her away. She looked at him, not understanding. “Don’t come too close” he said. He wasn’t angry, he was scared. “Damon?” Elena asked concerned. “She’s coming” Damon said. “Who’s coming?” Elena asked. She came closer to him again and hooked her arm in his. Damon nodded ahead of him. Elena turned around. “Bonnie!” Even more confused she looked from Damon to Bonnie. Could it be true? Was Damon, the man that saved her life, afraid of her best friend who wouldn’t hurt a fly?
Bonnie pierced her eyes into Damon’s and Damon grabbed his head. He almost lost his balance, but Elena gripped his arm and helped him stand on his feet.
“Bonnie” she said.
“But she’s not here right now” Stefan said confused. “You don’t have to worry”
Damon shook his head heavily and he pierced his stare into Elena’s. “You don’t understand. She is with me all the time”
Stefan looked around, but Elena kept her eyes on Damon.
“I don’t understand, but you have to go hide” Stefan said. “We’ll keep Bonnie away from you” Elena leaned to Damon and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. “Everything will be okay” she whispered. “I promise you”
“Go!” Stefan said and Damon reluctantly jerked his eyes off Elena and started running again.

Since there was no way any of them was going to get any sleep, they packed their bags and loaded the Impala. Dean placed himself behind the wheel, Sam sat next to him and Meg on the backseat.
“First stop: Pontiac, Illinois” Dean said, as he started the engines and drove ahead. As they drove Dean turned on the radio to break the silence.
Meg stared out of the window. She felt utterly powerless. Had she still been a demon she would’ve just zapped herself to him. But then maybe she wouldn’t have felt this way and she wouldn’t even bother to go find him.
Maybe this was a sign. Maybe she was supposed to let go and go back to her old life.
No!, she reproached herself. You’re not going back to killing for fun. You didn’t get this far to throw it all away. You’re going to find Cas and get him back.
“Everything okay, there?” Dean asked.
“Yeah, I’m good” Meg replied with a mischievous smile.

Meg looked around the police station. So that was why no one was answering her calls for help. They were all dead. There were bodies everywhere and their insides were torn out. The floor was covered in blood.
“Meg”
Meg looked up. Daphne had entered the building. She stared shocked at the bodies.
“You killed all those people” she said trembling. It wasn’t a question, but an observation. “You’re going to hurt more people. I can’t let you do that”
“You can’t handle me. I’m too strong for your” Meg said. She walked towards Daphne and passed her. If she was going to try something Meg could easily take her down.
However, as she passed by, Daphne jumped forward and stabbed Meg in her neck with a syringe, containing a red substance.
“Aaaahhh!” Meg gasped and she touched her neck. “What the hell are you doing?”
But Daphne had left the building and ran for her life.
