A Dangerous Desire

Sister, Sister

A/N: Due to having so many characters present I am switching to script format

Without Vee's blood, Bonnie was only able to narrow down her location to a square mile but as soon as they were close she could feel the magic that was surrounding the house she was being held.

The magic was strong, she and Alaric were able to approach the door but no matter what they did they couldn't get inside, there was some sort of protective barrier spell.

Enzo was ready to start burning the place down if that's what it took but Bonnie talked him down.

Bonnie: "If she's in there, you're putting her in danger,"

Enzo: "She's in danger because she's in there!"

Alaric: "Guys come on we have to work together, Bonnie is there any kind of spell that will help."

Bonnie: "The magic coming from the house is too strong, I can't overpower it."

Enzo: "How the bloody hell are you useful then?"

Alaric: "That's not helping"

Enzo: "None of this is helping." Enzo failed his arms in frustration.

Bonnie: "Wait I might have an idea."

She looks to Enzo, "Can you do that thing where you get inside people's heads?"

Enzo: "It's a specialty of mine."

Bonnie: "I'll take that as a yes, I'm gonna try to project you inside, you won't be able to physically do anything but you'll be able to communicate with her, at the very least she'll know we're out here trying... that we're going to keep working on it until we find a way to free her."

Bonnie took Enzo's hands and started reciting a spell... A few moments later Enzo found himself inside the house. Immediately he started looking around for Victoria.

If I was an evil psycho... scratch that, when I was an evil psycho where would I hide someone? Enzo thought.

Enzo looked for a door to the lower level... a basement. And went down the stairs. There she was, tied to a chair, he was furious someone had done this to her, she looked so tired and uncomfortable.

Sensing someone was present Vee lifted her head and her whole face light up at the sight of Enzo,

Vee: "You're here, you found me." She smiled.

Enzo: "I am here love but I'm afraid I can't get to you."

Enzo hated to see her face fall and hope leave her,

Vee: "What do you mean?"

Enzo: "There is a barrier spell around the house, we can't get in but we're outside and we will find a way. Can you tell us who took you... or why?"

Vee: "It was Jonas and Luka Martin, they're witches... or warlocks I guess. The other member of their family, Greta, is missing with a very dangerous original who they want to lure out of hiding. They need me out of the way to do it." She took a deep breath and looked up at Enzo with sad frightened eyes, "Please get me out of here... I don't want to be here anymore." Tears started to fall down her cheeks gutting Enzo.

Enzo: "I swear to you, I will do whatever it takes to free you!"

Suddenly he was gone, Victoria tried calling out for him but Bonnie wasn't able to project him any longer.

Back outside the house, Enzo's consciousness came back to the present.

Alaric: "Well, what'd you find out?"

Enzo: "I found out I have some witches to kill."

Back at the Boarding House, the trio relayed everything to the rest of the group.

Damon: "What the hell is an original?"

Alaric: "Seriously? It's one of the original vampires, first of your kind... strongest and baddest in history. How do you not know this?"

Damon: "No, how do you do know this?"

Stefan: "Does that matter? We just found out witches or warlocks or whatever are trying to lure the most dangerous oldest vampire in existence to Mystic Falls, and the one person who could help us defend each other and the town is gone."

Enzo: "She's not gone, we're going to get her back."

Elena: "How? You guys can't get in."

Bonnie: "Me, if I find Jonas or Luka... I might be able to get them to trust me."

Elena: "No Bonnie that's too dangerous."

Bonnie: "If Vee is right, which she has been about...everything then things are about to get a lot more dangerous for all of us if we don't stop them."

Damon: "Great you find out who the Martin's are Enzo and I will kill them, Vee goes free we avoid tangling with an Original... everyone wins."

Lexi: "It's not that simple."

Damon: "Why the hell not?"

Lexi: "Because if the Martins have some connection to an original that might mean they are under their protection which could mean killing them would send us one vengeful original express anyway."

Damon: "Great, any other ideas?"

Jeremy: "I might have one."

Damon: "how about you go find a video game to play and let the grown-ups keep talking."

Jeremy: "So you don't want to know about the Stake Vee put under my bed the night she thought you were going to kill her, you know made out of the one thing that can kill an Original?"

They all stop and look at Jeremy.

Lexi: "Are you saying Vee was able to find white oak?"

Jeremy: "Yeah but its really just a hunk of wood, she didn't know how to whittle it into a stake."

Lexi: "So right now, we have a way to potentially kill an original?"

Stefan: "Why is this such a big deal, wouldn't be the same as killing any other vampire?"

Lexi: "No, they can only be killed with wood from the white oak tree but legend was that as soon as they discovered that they burned the tree down... were would Vee know to find another?"

Enzo: "Perhaps from watching the Vampire Diaries."

Damon: "Don't tell me you're actually starting to believe her."

Enzo: "Doesn't exactly sound like the craziest thing I've ever heard, hell its not even the craziest thing I've heard today."

Damon: "Yeah well color me still skeptic."

Bonnie: "Maybe we can make a trade then, the stake for Victoria. If they want Greta back from an original surely they would be interested in the one thing that no one thought was around anymore, the one thing that would kill them?"

Damon: "So what we're just going to hand over our only weapon against indestructible supper vampires?"

Jeremy: "If we got Vicki back she could show us where more is."

Damon: "And what if that was the last of it."

Enzo: "Then we make do, Jeremy mate... go get the wood,  it's time to learn how to whittle."

3rd Person POV:

The gang was able to make 2 stakes out of the white oak. But they still needed to find out who the Martin's were. Bonnie and Enzo parked in front of their house... or at least the place they were keeping Vee and waited, not knowing a better way to introduce themselves.

Bonnie: "So Damon's just fine with you taking his car whenever you want?"

Enzo: "Didn't you hear love? This is my car now, I've repossessed it. I consider it payment for all the years he left me to be tortured."

Bonnie: "And a car makes up for that?"

Enzo: "No, but it's taking something he loves away from him... like he did with Maggie."

Bonnie: "I'm sorry, you lost her before you even got the chance to tell her what she meant to you."

Enzo: "Yes, well... that's not going to happen again."

Bonnie reached over and held Enzo's hand,

Bonnie: "You're right, it won't. We'll get Vee back."

The pair were interrupted when they heard a car pull up. Bonnie was able to sense the magic, it was the Martins. Bonnie and Enzo exited the car and started walking over.

The father and son warlocks were getting groceries out of the car when they saw a vampire and Bennet witch approach them. Jonas went to raise his hands most likely to attack Enzo but Bonnie jumped in front of him.

Bonnie: "we're not here to hurt you."

Enzo: "Speak for yourself." Bonnie rolled her eyes and ignored Enzo's unhelpful comment.

Bonnie: "We want to make a trade."

Luka: "You have nothing we want."

Bonnie: "Not even a stake made out of white oak?"

Jonas: "That's impossible."

Enzo: "Afraid it's not, mate." Enzo produced the stake from his leather jacket. "See here it is in all its original killing power beauty."

Bonnie: "And all it will cost you is the person you have tied up in your basement."

Jonas: "No, how can we even be sure it's real."

Bonnie: "You know it's real... you can feel it." 

Luka turns to his Dad for a bit of a sidebar,

Luka: "Dad, maybe we should-" 

Jonas: "No, if she's free Elijah will have no motive to help us, we won't even be able to get close enough to use the white oak without him."

Enzo: "Who's Elijah?" Enzo asks interrupting their little powwow 

Jonas: "I'm sorry about your friend but we will not make the trade."

Enzo: "Well then, I'm sorry about your son but he's about to die." Enzo tried to zoom to attack Lucas but with three witches around he was easily thwarted. And now on the ground grabbing his head in pain.

Bonnie: "Please, you have to know how wrong it is to do this, she hasn't done anything... she's human she means you no harm, just let her go!"

Jonas: "Whether she means us harm or not isn't the point,"

Bonnie: "Then what is the point?"

Jonas: "To draw out the originals."

Bonnie: "And how does holding a teenage girl captive help you do that?"

Luka: "We were warned by witches on the other side, Victoria will tell Elijah about his siblings and then he'll have no reason to help us. This is my sister, and we will do whatever we have to, to get her back."

Enzo: "Well that is my friend, and I will do the same for her." Enzo says as he pulls out his phone and finishes dialing 911

"Hello, yes I have an emergency I just saw two men dragging a young woman inside their house on maple street please come quick."

Jonas: "I suppose you think that's clever."

Bonnie: "I thought I was,"

Luka: "You would risk exposing our kind-"

Bonnie: "Let her go and run, he hasn't given your description... but I will when the police get here."

Jonas: "Come on son, we need to go."

Luka looks furiously at Bonnie but follows his dad inside

The pair emerge not long after throwing bags in the car and dragging a limp Victoria to the front lawn. They peel out in their car but stop in front of Enzo and Bonnie who have run to Vee.

Luka: "This isn't over."

Matt POV:

These past few weeks have been hell. I had always loved my sister but this past year Vicki had been someone I could lean on for a change, and with her gone, I'm struggling. Everyone thinks her going missing is no big deal, mom thinks it's just for attention, Caroline thinks she's just a druggie waste of space, the whole town doesn't even seem to notice her absence. But I feel it every day. And it sucks. 

I was so proud when she turned things around last year, I always hoped she would for herself but it didn't occur to me how much it would mean to me. For once I didn't have to be the man of the house, with Vicki stepping up and being the big sister I always wanted her to be I finally got to be a stupid teenager, the younger carefree brother, not someone constantly stressed trying to keep a roof over our heads.

Ever since Dad left when we were little people have always been looking at me, as if it was normal for a kid to be responsible for his mom and big sister. I always loved them and I did what my Dad wouldn't... or couldn't I took that responsibility but since Vicki turned over a new leaf it was the first time I really felt loved... and cared for. And now that feeling is gone and I miss it, I miss her. And I'm not going to get over it or forget about her because it would make other people's lives more convenient. 

I would go every day to Sherif Forbes to ask for an update, I would never stop being in everyone's face reminding them that they weren't doing their jobs. Life didn't just get to go on without her, like everything was fine. I wouldn't let it. And if that cost me a relationship, fine, I don't care. I just want my sister back.

*Brinnnng*Brringgg*Brrinnng*

"Matty, can you get that?" I hear mom shout from the bathroom.

I get up and answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Matt, It's Sherif Forbes. We found your sister." I was almost frozen in shock, was this real?

"Matt, you there?"

"How... where? Is she okay?" I say not knowing what to ask first.

"She's being transferred to the hospital. I'm sorry Matt, you were right. She didn't run away, she was being held captive. Just come to the hospital and I'll fill you and your mom in."

Captive? Someone had taken her? I felt sick but full of hope and excitement at the same time... it was a weird combo.

I run to the bathroom and start banging on the door,

"Mom! Mom! They found her, they found Vicki! We have to go to the hospital!"

I was only giving her 5 minutes and then I was leaving without her, I needed to see for myself that she was okay, that I had my sister back.
