Lexa, Bonnie and Sheila were reciting a spell at the tomb, their eyes shut and hands interlocked.

"What are they saying?" Damon asked. "Sounds Latin." Stefan answered. Elena shook her head, "I don't think it's Latin."

After a few more seconds of the witches reciting the spell, the torches flared up. Elena grabbed onto Stefan's arm, "What's happening?"

The door to the tomb creaked open. Sheila, Bonnie and Lexa stopped chanting and looked up. "It worked!" Bonnie and Lexa boomed, with a smile. "Of course it worked." Grams replied.

Damon turned to Stefan, "We have some fires to build." He said. Stefan nodded before he looked back at Elena, and gently touched her shoulder. "I'm gonna go get the gasoline, I'll be right back."

Elena nodded and Stefan ascended the stairs out of the tomb. Damon looked from Bonnie, Lexa and Sheila to Elena. "You ready?" He asked.

"What?" Elena and Lexa asked in unison, shocked. Damon turned to Sheila, Lexa and Bonnie. "You think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?" He asked, before he grabbed Elena. Lexa growled, taking a step forward but Sheila put her arm out in front of the brunette to stop her.

"Don't take her in. I'll bring the walls down." Sheila threatened. "You'll bring the walls down if I don't. You think I trust you?" Damon asked. "As much as I trust you?"

"Enough! Both of you. Look, he needs leverage. He needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside. I get it. I'll go." Elena declared. Lexa opened her mouth to protest, but Elena shot her a pleading look.

Damon grabbed a torch from the circle, "May I?" He asked. Elena nodded at Lexa reassuringly, and followed Damon into the tomb.

Stefan raced over to the gasoline and started to gather the cans up. Suddenly, someone speaks to him, "Dark down there?" Stefan straightened up, looking at Ben. Jeremy, unconscious, laid at Ben's feet. "Thought I told you to leave." Stefan warned. "I considered it. Then I thought, screw you." Ben shrugged. "Hey, hero." A voice spoke up, as Stefan turned around and sees Anna. "I'm going down there to get my mother."

Stefan shook his head, "I can't let you do that." He said. "Well, Ben's about to make a main course out of Elena's little brother. So, you can stop me or him. Your choice." She said, as Stefan didn't respond. Anna suddenly vamp-sped into the tomb.

Bonnie and Alexia turned and looked at Sheila, angered. "Why did you let her go in?" Bonnie growled. "Because she isn't coming out, baby. None of them are." Grams replied.

Stefan walked back down to the tomb after killing Ben, and looked around. "Where's Elena?!" He asked. Lexa answered, visibly annoyed. "Damon took her inside."

"What?!"

Stefan ran towards the entrance of the tomb. Sheila grabbed his arm. "Stefan! If you go in there, you won't come out." She warned him. "What did you do?" Stefan asked. "Opening the door didn't remove the seal, it just opened the door." Sheila explained.

"What's the seal?"

"Some seals keep vampires from entering. This one keeps them from coming out."

"Elena's human. She can leave. Anna and Katherine can't. Damon can't. You were never planning on breaking the spell, were you?" Stefan asked as Sheila shook her head, "I told you. I will protect my own. Elena can get out. That's all that matters."

Moments later, the group hear Elena's screams echo through the tomb, and without hesitating Stefan dashed into the tomb. "Elena!!" Lexa cried out in worry, before she chased after Stefan, "Stefan!" Sheila blocked Lexa from entering the tomb. "You can't just leave him in there!" She insisted. Sheila shook her head, "He made his choice!"

"No. Here!" Bonnie ordered, as she picked up the grimoire and looked desperately at her Grams. "Just show me what to do. I'll do it." She pleaded. "We are not strong enough. Even if we were able to bring the seal down, there's no guarantee that we could get it back up again." Sheila said. "You said it yourself, many things can fuel a witches power. Help me or we'll do it without you." Bonnie said as Lexa outstretched her hand to Bonnie, and she took it.

Lexa, Bonnie and Sheila were looking through the grimoire when Elena exited the tomb. "Lena!!" Lexa boomed, relieved. "Stefan." Bonnie then said. "He's right behind me." Elena insisted.

Bonnie and Sheila looked at the entrance to the tomb, whilst Lexa maintained eye contact with her sister. Elena turned around and saw Stefan standing in the doorway. Elena walked up to him, worried. "Stefan, what are you doing?"

"It's gonna be okay. We'll fix it." Lexa said, looking sympathetically to her twin. "What is it, Lexa?" Elena asked. "The spell's still up. We can't get them out yet." Bonnie explained. Elena frowned, before turning to Stefan. "You went in there not knowing if you could come back out?!" Stefan looked down, not answering. "Oh, my God." Elena scoffed. "I heard you scream!" Stefan said, defensively. "We can't leave him in there. We promised him. Both of us."

"I know."

"Even if we're able to break through the seal, we won't be able to hold it for long." Sheila explained. Stefan nodded, before he turned to go back into the tomb to find Damon, as he is still searching the tomb for Katherine.

"Cmon.. Katherine where are you?!" Damon blurted, frustrated, until he noticed a desiccated vampire, revealing to be a Petrova, laying leant up against a wall. His eyes widened, "Katherine!" He boomed.

Damon raced to her side, and took the blood bag, pushing the tube end into her mouth. "Cmon Katherine.." He sighed, as the Petrova began to drink, her skin slowly turning from grey to her fair colour. Damon then picked her up, carrying her bridal style as he turned to exit the tomb, the brunette still drinking from the blood bag.

Sheila, Bonnie and Lexa were reciting the spell to lift the seal as Elena circled around them, impatiently and anxiously waiting. The torches flared up and Elena looked towards the tomb. "I think it's working." She said.

Anna exited the tomb with Pearl, who was still weak. "I just wanted my mother back. Jeremy's fine. He's outside. I won't touch him." She said to the twins before Anna and Pearl left. The torches began to falter. "Girls, keep going!" Sheila said before turning to Elena. "They better hurry."

Elena raced over to the entrance of the tomb, "Stefan, they can't hold it much longer!" The torches extinguish themselves, as Bonnie looked ready to faint as Lexa and Sheila don't look much better.

Bonnie, Lexa and Sheila were still chanting the spell to keep the seal down. Bonnie stopped for a moment, gasping for air and kneeling over. "Oh my God. I can't!" She panicked. "Bon!" Lexa said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Yes, you can." She encouraged her. Damon (who was carrying the Petrova) and Stefan left the tomb, and suddenly the door to the tomb closed and the torches died out.

Elena embraced Stefan as he exited the tomb. Lexa held onto Bonnie, as the girl panted, exhausted. "Hey, we did it. Good job Bon!" Lexa smiled as Bonnie looked to her best friend, smiling back weakly. The group turned to look to Damon and Katherine, but found they were gone.

Bonnie entered Gram's room carrying a cup of tea for her, as Sheila was laying in her bed. "Here you go, Grams." Bonnie chimed.

Bonnie placed the tea on the nightstand and pulled the covers up over Sheila. She looked down at her Grams and had the feeling that something is wrong.

"Grams?" Bonnie asked softly, not getting a response. She quickly sat down on the bed and started to shake Sheila. "Grams! Grams, wake up!" She panicked, still not getting an answer.

"Grams! Grams!" Bonnie sobbed, before turning to the door. "Lexa!!" She yelled out. A second later, Lexa, who was staying over, dashed into the room, looking bewildered once she noticed Bonnie crying, and Sheila laying still.

"Help!" Bonnie cried before she continued to shake her Grams. "Wake up! She's not breathing! She's just not breathing! Please, wake up!" She sobbed as Lexa raced out of the room and grabs the phone, dialing 911. Bonnie got up as well. "I'm gonna fix it! It's okay, I can fix this!" Bonnie cried.

Speaking to the operator, Lexa said in a panic, "Yes, I need an ambulance to Oak Street. It's an emergency, quick!"

Bonnie grabbed the grimoire and flipped through the pages, trying to find a spell to bring her Grams back. Lexa raced back into the room and gently grabbed Bonnie's shoulders. "Bonnie....Bon.." She said sadly, not wanting her to attempt more magic, after the incredibly draining night they'd had.

"No! No! I can fix it! Grams, I can fix this!"

"Bon Bonnie- Bonnie!"

Bonnie continued to sob as Alexia, who was teary eyed, wrapped her arms around Bonnie, trying to comfort her.

Damon placed the Petrova girl down on the couch, as she weakly looked to him. "I'm so happy to have you back.." He said, his eyes watering slightly. The girl took the blood bag away from her mouth, as Damon put his hand to her cheek, caressing it gently.

"..Damon.." The Petrova said softly, though something about her seemed off.. different. Damon's eyes widened, in shock as he removed his hand from her face now.

"..Tasha!?"
