"BONNIE, HAVE YOU SEEN MY RING?" Ophelia was getting ready for school, trying to find the ring that has always been on her finger for as long as she could remember.

When Ophelia woke up from her very long nap, the only thing she could remember was being adopted by a wonderful family and her new sister, Bonnie Bennett.

"I haven't seen it, maybe check the bathroom?" Ophelia walked to the bathroom to see her ring sitting in the soap holder. She stifled out a small laugh as she put it back on her finger.

"Thank you, BonBon, you're a lifesaver. Maybe your witch instincts do come in useful."

Bonnie smiled at her sister as she started to pack her backpack for school. Ophelia was still a little hungover from the masquerade ball the night before, however, she was sober enough to notice how Elena has not responded to any of her texts.

"Do you know where Elena is? I tried to text her, but she hasn't responded." Bonnie just shook her head no, also wondering where her best friend went as well.

"I'm sure she'll show up at school, but let's go now before we're late." Ophelia agreed with Bonnie and got into her car to drive off to school.

Ophelia was at her locker, putting away her heavy textbooks that were in her backpack. 

"Hey, Ophelia." She jumped slightly as Stefan came up to her locker, a little on edge, still worrying about Elena.

"Hey, Stefan. Oh, also, Elena's got to let me know if I'm supposed to cover for her, so you should tell her that if she sleeps over at your house-"

Stefan interrupted Ophelia, wondering what she was going at.

"Woah, what are you talking about? Elena didn't come over last night." Ophelia's heart dropped slightly, now that her anxiety was starting to rise. She cared for her friends deeply and the thought of them being in trouble, worried her.

"Wait...she didn't stay at your place last night?"

"No, I mean I saw her at the party but that was it. She didn't sleep over," Stefan said, starting to get worried as well.

Not sure what else to do, Ophelia had a small idea, however, it was a long shot.

"I'm going to get my sister, tell Damon and everyone else to meet in Ric's classroom." Stefan nodded then proceeded to do as he was told.

" I can't undo the tomb spell, Stefan. Even if I wanted to. It took both me and my Grams to undo it the first time," Bonnie said, explaining to Stefan how it would be dangerous to undo the tomb spell.

"But I can open the door, right? I can talk to her?" Ophelia was still not too sure how to feel about Stefan opening up the door to where Katherine was staying, fearful to think she will be released after causing her and her friends a lot of trouble.

"Yeah but Damon's right. She's not gonna tell you anything, not without something in return."

"How about if Bonnie could do a locator spell? We have Jeremy here and his blood can track Elena since they're related." Everyone just stared at her, wondering how Ophelia would know this magic knowledge before the actual witch in the room.

"Not a terrible idea. Are you sure you weren't born a witch, because you seem to know more than BonBon." Damon just smirked in victory as she smacked his arm, him not flinching since he was so used to Ophelia's "violence."

Ophelia was setting the candles as Bonnie was cutting Jeremy's hand for the locator spell. She was about to go back to her seat but was interrupted by an excruciating pain in her head.

A vision flashed in Ophelia's head, a man whose face was unfamiliar, was wearing a suit with a ring. A very similar ring she owned as well.

Once Ophelia got out of her trance, she noticed Damon was helping her gain stamina as she almost fell to the ground.

"Woah, you okay there knockoff witch?" Ophelia glared at Damon slightly but responded to him after feeling another pounding sensation in her head.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a small headache."

"I don't think almost falling to the ground is a "small" headache," Damon said, putting air quotes at the last part of his sentence.

"Whatever, I'm fine." She started to rub her temples slightly while walking towards Bonnie who was still chanting the spell.

"There. She's there." Bonnie pointed to the map to reveal a dot of blood at a location far away from Mystic Falls.

"Bonnie, we need a more precise location."

"I can't, that's the closest I can get." Ophelia walked over to the desk and started to pack her bags, making her friends furrow their eyebrows, wondering what she was doing.

"What are you doing?" Damon asked, hoping she wasn't planning on joining this road trip.

"I'm joining you guys." Immediately, Stefan and Damon interjected, making it clear that Ophelia was not able to join this trip with them.

"No, you're not going, that's final."

"But-"

"I said no. Don't make me rip off that vervain necklace on you and compel your stubborn ass to stay here." Ophelia huffed and sat down as she silently cussed out the annoying vampire.

"Asshole," Ophelia whispered, but Damon overheard with his enhanced hearing.

"I heard that."

Once Stefan and Damon left the school and were out of the vicinity,  Ophelia grabbed her backpack and started to pace out of the classroom.

"Where are you going?" Jeremy asked, wondering why Ophelia was in such a rush.

"I"m going to....get some rest. I'll see you at home, Bonnie," Ophelia lied, straight through her teeth. Little did they know, Ophelia was going to go out and look for Elena on her own, ignoring the Salvatore brothers' orders.

Ophelia got in her car and began to drive a shortcut to the place Elena was being held captive at. Not only did she want to save Elena, but Ophelia also wanted to figure out who the man in the suit was and why he appeared in her mind.

Little did she know that when she finds out who this man is, he will change her life forever.
