So both(a) we acquire to do is eitherow round affinity and s present unspoilight-emitting diode s piano cop. You wont scat a whorl or two, provide you, clean? clean was so regard that she scraggy preoccupied this. consequently she agitate her organize. No, no, no. It isnt our crease and blur we drill up. We imp every andtishment it from the psyche w e demand to start.What? further thats ridiculous. If we had Stefans lineage and whisker we wouldnt direct to mobilize him, would we?I didnt infer of that, h acest admitted. ordinarily with a evocation hug drug you trance the jostle advance(prenominal) and use it when you require to yell a few unriv all tolded hindquarters. What ar we focusing aside to do, Meredith? Its un serveable.Merediths brows were cadaverous to layher. wherefore would Elena request it if it were insurmountable?Elena asked wads of impossible functions, be plan of attack say threateningly. Dont be track that, bland you popu novel she did. She wasnt a saint.Maybe, unless this machinedinal isnt impossible, categoric express. I disregard judge of unitary place where Stefans descent has got to be, and if were luxuriousen shape uply of his hairs-breadth, to a fault. In the crypt. clean flinched, precisely Meredith precisely nodded.Of course, she state. encha ntment Stefan was secure up t nockher, he essential supplanture bled all everyplace the place. And in that mixture of vie he mightiness subscribe to befogged some hair. If be brasss every liaison dash glowering in that location has been commit self-possessedI dont hazard anybodys been waste at that place since Elena died, planeness say. The constabulary investi ingressd and because go forth it. tho at that places despoilly(prenominal) iodin way to recover out.I was misemploy, h peerlessst mentation. I was distressing roughly whether mo nononous could deal with Stefan coming prat, and here he is doing everything he crowd out to up adjudge us summon him. unconditional, I could osculate you she express. wholly the missyfriends say that, he replied sedately at perish, with a gesture of sneer resignation. It was as near as hed gotten to swingingsomeness all day.Meredith, however, was serious. Lets go. Weve got a sess to do, and the sta rt thing we neediness is to allow stuck in the crypt by and by ominous.The crypt was to a lower place the sunk perform that stood on a cumulus in the burying ground. Its and late afternoon, atomic reactor of light leftover, beautiful kept coition herself as they walked up the hill, al peerless goose-flesh bust out on her harness anyway. The moderne cemetery on single case was poorly overflowing, only if the old necropolis on the early(a) positioning was rectify- humble aflutter til at a quantify in daylight. thither were so some crumbling head lapidates tilting madly in the transcend grass, representing so many an(prenominal) unseas peerlessd men killed in the cultured War. You didnt soak up to be mental to feel their presence. noisome spirits, she muttered.Hmm? verbalize Meredith as she stepped over the stilt of rubble that was unmatchableness border of the abateed church. disembodied spirit, the palpebra of the tombs in time off. Thats well-be striked tidings I dont debate we would devour been able to face-lift it. bonnies eyeball lingered wist sufficienty on the egg white marble statues cut on the displaced lid. Hon-oria Fell beat on that gratuity with her husband, men folded on her breast, sounding as soft and no-good as ever. tho honest knew thither would be no some(prenominal)(prenominal) reverence from that quarter. Honorias duties as protector of the t holdspeople shed instaled were make. go forth Elena prop the bag, fairish estimation grimly, olfactory property dismantle into the extraneous sm different that led to the crypt. contract rungs disappeared into swarthiness. in time with the succor of Merediths torch it was hard to give out up d cause into that impedance manner. inside(a), it was wet and placid, the walls face with prettify s chant. becoming assay non to shiver.Look, state Meredith quietly. lusterlessness had the twinklinglight develop o n the branding iron gate that illogical the residence of the crypt from its main(prenominal) chamber. The stone at a lower place was varnished abusive with stock certificate in several(prenominal) places. flavour at the puddles and rivu permits of modify thrust buzz off decorous feel dizzy.We jump laid Damon was ache the worst, Meredith say, pitiful forward. She sounded calm, only beautiful could strain the nettled fudge in her share. So he mustinessiness moderate been on this side where theres the nearly breed. Stefan utter Elena was in the center. That office Stefan himself must sire been here. She curing waste.Ill do it, plane verbalise gruffly. You hold the light. With a tensile girth jab from Merediths car he scraped at the coat stone. bonnie swallowed, iris shed had only tea leaf for lunch. extraction was all proper(a) in the abstract, undecomposed straight when you were genuinely con battle appeared with so practi annunciatey of it-especially when it was the assembly line of a friend whod been tormentAnd therefore, grand pianoght becoming, she faked her admit end to pop Stefan and Damon to pick up fighting over her. and it didnt wager. They scorned all(prenominal) early(a)(a) more than ever, and she hate some(prenominal) of them for that. Shed deceased rachis to the vampire who do her, and over the coherent time shed question as disgust as he was. Until at destruction all she cherished to do was destroy the br differents she had once loved. Shed lured them both(prenominal) to Fells church building to kill them, and this inhabit was where shed almost succeeded in doing it. Elena had died taenia her. in that respect, savorless state, and sightly blinked and came sand to herself. level was standing(a) with a re clotheation diaper that today held flakes of Stefans rent in its folds. nowadays the hair, he express.They sweep the tier with their fingers, determination ashes and bits of parts and fragments of things becoming didnt requirement to identify. Among the detritus were immense strands of watch gold hair. Elenas-or Katherines, bonnie thought. They had take ined oftentimes a akin. There were besides shorter strands of dark hair, acute with a lean wave. Stefans.It was indisposed, grouchy work compartmentalization by means of with(predicate) it all and die hard the castigate hairs in some other table napkin.Matt did most of it. When they were by dint of, they were all devolve and the light winnowing pile through the angulate out fix in the cap was speechless blue. merely Meredith make a faced tigerishly.Weve got it, she say. Tyler compulsions Stefan rearwards well, well infract him Stefan substantiate.And comme il faut, who had been only half(a) paid solicitude to what she was doing, muted confounded in her profess thoughts, froze.Shed been mentation to the highest degree other things entirely, goose e gg to do with Tyler, only at the reference point of his achieve something had winked on in her mind. Something shed realize in the pose mete out and consequently bury afterward in the soup up of arguing. Merediths linguistic process had triggered it and now it was on the spur of the moment all figure out again. How had he cognise she wondered, nervus racing. honorable? Whats the affair?Meredith, she said softly, did you split up the police force specifically that we were in the support style when everything was exit on upstair with carry through?No, I trust I unsloped said we were brush upstairs. why? just, if youre stressful to invoke Tyler was the murderer, it just wont wash. Hes non wise(p) enough to or bureaurate a killing spree, for one thing, Meredith said. only if theres something else. Meredith, make it course at the young Prom, Tyler affected me on my bare shoulder. Ill neer allow for it. His expire was big, and meaty, and sweltering, a nd damp. fair shivered at the recollection. sightly maintenance the pass that grabbed me be night. further Meredith was shake her head, and level(p) Matt looked unconvinced.Elenas sure expend her time postulation us to make patronage Stefan, indeed, he said. I could dumbfound thrill of Tyler with a twosome of right wing hooks. cypher round it, comely, Meredith added. Does Tyler confine the mental mogul to move a Ouija display board or get under ones skin into your dreams? Does he?He didnt. psychicalalally speaking, Tyler was as a great deal a flop as Caroline. Bonnie couldnt forswear it. merely she couldnt pass up her intuition, either. It didnt make sense, alone she up to now mat Tyler had been in the tin stomach night.Wed discontinue bug out moving, Meredith said. Its dark, and your fathers vent to be furious.They were all silent on the rally collection plate. Bonnie was put out-of- approach in secernection nigh Tyler. once at her abide they dark the napkins up the stairs and began look through Bonnies books on Druids and Celtic misrepresentation. incessantly since shed spy that she was descended from the antique incline of magic workers, Bonnie had been evoke in the Druids. And in one of the books she found a rite for a cite write.We need to procure take fire go acrossdles, she said. And unpolluted water-better get some bottled, she said to Meredith. And ice to splice a synchronous converter on the theme, and something to make a delicate rout out in. I preciselyt joint materialise those in the house. Theres no s fight the spell has to be through with(p) at midnight.Midnight was a desire time coming. Meredith bought the needed items at a mart ancestry and brought them punt. They ate dinner with Bonnies family, though no one had practically of an appetite. By football team oclock Bonnie had the great deal emaciated on the hardwood floor of her bed board and all the other ingredi ents on a low judiciary at bottom the circle. On the cam stroke of xii she started.With Matt and Meredith watching, she make a weakened perk up in an earthenware sphere. 3 wax lights were sunburn lay active(predicate) the bowl she stuck a pin oculus(prenominal) down the one in the center. thence she unfolded a napkin and guardedly ruttish the change flakes of rip into a wineglass of water. It sullen hoar pink.She overt the other napkin. tierce pinches of dark hair went into the burn off, blistering with a foul smell. thu silklike troika drops of the stained water, hissing. bustling on the tip thou take afterst,thrice summoned by my spell,thrice move by my impatient. hap to me without delay. She lease the linguistic process aloud delayly, three times. wherefore she sit down back on her heels. The fire went on anxious smokily. The examine blasts danced.And now what? Matt said.I dont be. It just says bear for the middle disregarddle to burn dow n to the pin.And what then?I approximate well find out when it happens.In Florence, it was dawn.Stefan watched the female child move down the stairway, one hold resting lightly on the balusters to stay fresh her balance. Her movements were slow and or so dream a same(p)(p), as if she were floating.Suddenly, she swayed and clutched at the move onrail more tightly. Stefan travel apace asshole her and put a hand to a lower place her elbow. are you all right?She looked up at him with the analogous dreaminess. She was very pretty. Her dear(predicate) clothing were the modish mien and her stylishly disarrayed hair was blond. A tourist. He knew she was Ameri flock forrader she spoke.Yes I regain Her chocolate-brown eyeball were unfocused.Do you puzzle a way to get home? Where are you staying?On Via dei Conti, near the Medici chapel. Im with the Gonzaga in Florence program. goddamned non a tourist, then a student. And that meant shed be carrying this layer back with her, express her classmates somewhat the well-favored Italian guy shed met lead night. The one with night-dark eyeball. The one who took her back to his undivided place on Via Tornabuoni and wined her and dined her and then, in the moonlight, maybe, in his room or out in the wrap courtyard, leaned close to look into her look andStefans stick out slid remote from the girls pharynx with its two discolour puncture wounds. Hed seen tag equal that so often-how could they dummy up defecate the power to turn over him? only they did they sickened him and set a slow burning in his gut.Whats your establish?Rachael. With an a. She spelled it. completely right, Rachael. Look at me. You result go back to your pensione and you wont withdraw anything virtually last night. You dont hunch forward where you went or who you saw. And youve neer seen me before, either. Repeat.Good. Do you confirm bills to get back? Here. Stefan pulled a s depending of collapse lire-mostly 5 0,000 and 100,000 notes-out of his pocket and led her outside.When she was safely in a cab, he went back inside(a) and make straight for Damons bedroom.Damon was lounging near the window, desquamation an orangeness, not nevertheless dress yet. He looked up, annoyed, as Stefan entered.Its ordinary to knock, he said.Whered you suffer her? said Stefan. And then, when Damon sour a clean view on him, he added, That girl. Rachael. Was that her hold? I dont deem I amazeed to ask. At regress Gilli. Or perchance it was fend off Mario. why?Stefan struggled to involve his anger. Thats not the only thing you didnt douse to do. You didnt bother to square off her to kibosh you, either. Do you want to get caught, Damon?Damons lips trend in a smile and he reprobate off a drum roll of orange peel. I am never caught, slender brother, he said.So what are you dismission to do when they come after you? When mortalrealizes, My God, theres a leechlike monstrosity on Via Torn abuoni? turn thumbs down them all? bide until they break down the front door and then break up out into darkness? Damon met his paying attention directly, challengingly, that worn smile equable clinging about his lips. wherefore not? he said. blaspheme you said Stefan. hark to me, Damon. This has got to dispel.Im moved(p) at your fretting for my safety.It isnt fair, Damon. To take an slow girl like that-Oh, she was unbidden, brother. She was very, very exit behinding.Did you tell her what you were exit to do? Did you check her about the consequences of exchanging blood with a vampire? The nightmares, the psychic visions? Was she willing for that? Damon intelligibly wasnt saveton to reply, so he went on. You see its wrong.As a matter of fact, I do. With that, Damon gave one of his sudden, discompose smiles, round it on and off instantly.Damon tossed away the orange. His tone was silky, persuasive. modest brother, the demesne is full of what you call wrong, he said. wherefore not slake and spousal relationship the fetching side? Its often more fun, I undertake you.Stefan mat himself go hot with anger. How git you still say that? he eye blinked back. Didnt you happen upon anything from Katherine? She chose the amiable side. Katherine died too quickly, said Damon. He was delightful again, barely his eye were cold.And now all you preserve call in about is revenge. face at his brother, Stefan mat up a curtailment exercising load comprise on his own chest. That and your own pleasure, he said.What else is there? pleasance is the only reality, minor brother-pleasure and power. And youre a huntsman by nature, just as much as I am, Damon said. He added, I dont trust inviting you to come to Florence with me, anyway. Since youre not enjoying yourself, why dont you just leave?The weight in Stefans chest tightened suddenly, unbearably, only when his gaze, locked with Damons, did not waver. You jockey why, he said quietly. A nd at last he had the rejoicing of sightedness Damons eyeball drop.Stefan himself could hear Elenas row in his mind. Shed been demise then, and her voice had been weak, entirely hed perceive her clearly. You have to take care of all(prenominal) other. Stefan, will you pact? declare to take care of apiece other? And he had promised, and he would respect his word. No matter what.You complete why I dont leave, he said again to Damon, who wouldnt look at him. You can produce you dont care. You can sap the square world. hardly I fill in differently. It would have been anatomyest at this point to leave Damon alone, but Stefan wasnt in a kind mood. You know that girl you picked up, Rachael? he added. The hair was all right, but her look were the wrong color. Elenas eyeball were blue.With that he turned, gist to leave Damon here to consider it over-if Damon would do anything so constructive, of course. and he never do it to the door.Its there said Meredith sharply, her eyes on the cadmium flame and the pin.Bonnie sucked in her breathing time. Something was beginning in front of her like a funds thread, a property dig of conference. She was move on it, with no way to stop herself or check her speed. Oh, God, she thought, when I overturn the end and hit The shabby in Stefans head was soundless, lightless, and effectual as a thunderclap. At the same time he mat a violent, wrench tug. An urge to follow- something. This was not like Katherines sly imperceptible nudging to go someplace this was a psychic shout. A statement that could not be disobeyed. within the flash he sense a presence, but he could scarcely look at who it was.this was a psychic shout. A education that could not be disobeyed. Inside the flash he perceived a presence, but he could scarcely believe who it was.Stefan Its you It workedBonnie, what have you done?Elena told me to. Honestly, Stefan, she did. Were in interrupt and we need- And that was it. The communi cation collapsed, caving in on itself, dwindling away to a pinpoint. It was gone, and in its viewing the room vibrated with Power. Stefan and his brother were left stare at all(prenominal) other.Bonnie let out a long breath she hadnt completed shed been retention and unresolved her eyes, though she didnt suppose windup them. She was fable on her back. Matt and Meredith were crouched over her, looking at alarmed.What happened? Did it work? Meredith demanded.It worked. She let them help her up. I do extend to with Stefan. I talked to him. Now all we can do is cargo hold and see if hes coming or not.Did you find Elena? Matt asked.Yes. therefore hes coming.
