chapter 18 and 19 happen at the same time ;)
Jeremy opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the hospital, but everything was bright and it was extremely quiet.
“Hello, Jeremy”
Jeremy turned around and couldn’t believe what he saw. Or who he saw.
“You seem to be a little shaken. What’s wrong?”
“Am I dead again?” Jeremy asked.
“No, don’t worry. You’re unconscious. Though you almost died. Your friend Bonnie tried to kill you again”
“Do you have any idea how contradicting that sentence sounded? Friend and kill are two words that don’t fit together”
“This had to happen. You had to be unconscious to understand what is going on and how you can stop it. It also shows you how to send the ghosts back. That’s why Vicky and Anna tried to keep you awake, so you wouldn’t figure it out. It was pretty reckless of them”
She walked to him and reached out her hand. “Are you ready for it?”
Jeremy took a deep breath and nodded.
“Show me everything” he said and he accepted Jenna’s hand.
The room disappeared and they were standing next to Damon and Elena who were talking to Bonnie.
“I can’t believe you’re asking me this, Elena. I’m going against all of my believes if I do this. Last time I helped them I almost lost Jeremy! I won’t go through that again!” she said upset.
“I don’t get what’s so weird about this scene” Jeremy frowned. “She’s acting normal”
“Look at the ground” Jenna pointed. Jeremy looked and saw that instead of one shadow, Bonnie seemed to have several, each moving on their own.
“This is your idea, isn’t it? Of course it is. Only you can come up with something that tactless. You really have no shame-whoah”
The shadows moved around Bonnie and went inside her.
Bonnie lost her balance and Damon caught her by her shoulders, pushing her back on her feet.
Jeremy looked back at Jenna. “She’s possessed” he said soft. “She can’t help it”
Jenna shook her head. “It’s not like that, Jeremy” she said bitter and sad. “It’s not like that at all"
She took his hand. “Come on, there’s more you need to see”
Jeremy opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the hospital, but everything was bright and it was extremely quiet.

Damon tried to open his eyes, but the vervain burned too painful. Now he had lost his sight he had to count on his hearing. And Bonnie gladly took advantage of that. She slowly step around Damon, waiting a few seconds after each step.
“What are you doing?” Damon asked anxious.
But Bonnie didn’t answer.
She held a horn in her hands and held it right next to Damon’s ear.
“What are you doing?” Damon repeated. He tried to feel where Bonnie was with his free hand.
Bonnie grabbed his hand and turned it on his back, until she felt it break. While Damon cried she pressed the horn, which drowned his voice.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a date tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
