Bonnie was lying on the couch watching television. She didn’t really notice what show was on. She just needed to lay down. Taking Damon down had taken a lot more energy she had expected. She closed her eyes, but unfortunately fate chose that moment to let the bell rang. Bonnie frowned her eyebrows out of frustration. She could sense who it was. “It’s open!” she yelled. “Please, don’t make me get up” she mumbled. But the door stayed shut and no one entered. Bonnie groaned and swung her legs off the couch. “I’m coming!” she shouted when the visitor bang the door. She shuffled to the door and opened it. “You didn’t hear me?” she asked sarcastic.
Stefan smiled. “Of course I did. I just wanted you to invite me in”
“I already did. You can come in whenever you want” Bonnie said confused.
“I know, but I also wanted to give you the opportunity to decline my request” Stefan continued.
“Oh” Bonnie said. “I see… Well, Stefan, please come in” She waved with her hand inside and Stefan entered the house. He walked to the kitchen and leaned against the sink. “So, what is it that brings you here? Wait, wait, wait, let me guess. Elena?”
Stefan bowed his head and looked up again, smiling at Bonnie. “Correct from the first time”
“You want some coffee?” Bonnie asked. Stefan shook his head. “Good, ‘cause I have none” She sat on a chair and weaved her fingers in each other. “Okay, well, can we cut to the chase?”
Stefan flashed to Bonnie, grabbing her throat. She fell backwards along with the chair and Stefan landed on top of her. Bonnie focused, to give him a neurological pain, but Stefan squeezed her throat and smirked evil. “That’s not going to be of use. My sweet Bonnie, you have no idea who you’re dealing with. Katherine told me you turned Elena into some teen/toddler. I have no idea what age she is emotionally, but you’re going to bring the real Elena back”
Bonnie tried to breath. “I… can’t” she said hoarse. “It’s a complicated spell”
Stefan shook his head. “You’re making excuses” he said. “I don’t like that, it makes me cranky. So we’ll do this one more time. You’re going to bring back the real Elena. It’s really simple”
“It’s not simple” Bonnie said and tears filled her eyes. “I can’t undo the spell. Elena needs to get out of it on her own terms. There’s nothing I can do”
Stefan let go of her and pulled her up. He threw her against the wall and speeded to her. “Well, then I’m afraid we’re facing a problem” he said soft. He took a step back and smiled. “Lucky for you I have a suggestion and you better accept it, if you don’t want that pretty face and that gorgeous body to be separated from one another… You will leave Damon alone. You will no longer harm him, torture him, or hurt him in any way possible. You got that?”
Bonnie nodded slowly.
“Okay, next point on our schedule, when will Elena come back?” Stefan asked.
Bonnie straightened her back, lifted her chin and looked Stefan in the eyes. “She will come back when the one who needs her the most… needs her the most”
“What?” Stefan asked confused. Of his confusion Bonnie took advantage to make him get out.
Stefan smiled. “Of course I did. I just wanted you to invite me in”

Dean and Sam were in the waiting room of the hospital, both drinking coffee. There was no way any of them could sleep now.
Kevin and Alexia entered the hospital. They had informed Anna about Cas’ disastrous acting and she had directed them to Sam and Dean.
“Hey” Kevin said. Sam looked up.
“Kevin! What are you doing here? I thought you were hiding from Crowley” Sam exclaimed hoarse. He was getting tired.
“Yeah, I was, but something came up” Kevin explained. He sat down next to Sam and Alexia next to Dean. “We had a little visit from our old friend Cas”
“You know where he is?” Dean asked urgent.
“Not anymore” Kevin commented. “He destroyed the tablets”
“He what?” Sam exclaimed surprised.
“He destroyed the tablets” Alexia repeated. “And then he took off. Anna went out looking for him, but she needs you two to get Meg to fess up. Get her to talk”

Heather’s upper body was covered with needles and each time Meg thought they’d reached the bottom the needles miraculously piled up.
Heather turned her head carefully to her ex-colleague. “Please, make him stop. I’ve done nothing wrong” she cried quietly.
“You made me a drugs addict” Cas reminded her. “I bashed my own head against a toilet and I almost got Meg killed, because of your needles”
“I’m sorry” Heather said weak. “I just wanted to help you, I swear”
Cas grabbed another needle and drove it in her thy, making Heather moan, which made Meg shiver.
“Don’t you think that’s enough?” she said careful.
“No” Cas snapped back. “It’ll be enough when there are no more needles left”
“But they keep piling up!” Meg exclaimed.
“They’ll stop piling up when the whore’s death” Cas clarified.
Meg shook her head in horror. “What has gotten into you?”

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.

One week later.
Heather was sitting by Meg’s bed. A week had gone by and Meg hadn’t opened her eyes once. The doctor had told her she was not in a coma, but just fast asleep. She would live. It was just a matter of time before she woke up.
Cas was less lucky. Someone had tried to kill him again, but fortunately there was a camera in the room and so the doctors could interfere just in time. Heather couldn’t help but wonder if keeping Cas alive wasn’t just extension of execution.
She felt something soft and cold on her arm and she looked down to see Meg’s finger moving.
“Meg?” she said.
Meg’s eyelids moved and slowly, but surely she opened them.
“Welcome back” Heather sighed relieved.
Meg tried to sit up, but Heather gently pushed her down again.
“Careful” she said. “I’ll go get a doctor” She hurried to the door and walked outside to call a doctor.
