"We need Bonnie," Caroline Forbes said, not finding anything in the books that would help figure out how to stop Kai. Sure, they were all able to go home and had, but it wasn't the same with Bonnie. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iZzqjvHox
"We don't know how to bring her back. Even if we did, there could be consequences. Damon came back and then Kai did. I hate this as much as anyone, but we might need a Traveler. Someone that may be able to get rid of Kai who is smart, is always one step ahead, and has magic to use against him; someone conniving," Ric replied from where he sat next to her on the couch at the Salvatore boarding house. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7ds7TAOol
"Someone like Katherine. We can't do that. We can't bring her back. She's finally out of our lives and you want to bring her back to life?" she replied. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrG84sMwUq
"It may be impossible to bring Bonnie back, but it's not impossible to bring Katherine back. There may be a way. Bonnie said that Katherine wasn't on the Other Side. She was swept away by a black mass. There's no such thing as Hell, so she had to have been taken somewhere else. Besides, if she does anything to mess with our lives again, we can kill her again. And we both know Katherine has nine lives. She always comes back. She's just getting help this time," he replied. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK63zlUzSd
"Okay; let's do it," Caroline said, seeing Ric's logic. All she wanted was Kai gone forever. She knew Elena and the others would be peeved when they found out, but they were running out of time. They had to act fast and Katherine would definitely know what to do. She always had plan after plan. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13801yHsR1

Soon, they found that Katherine was in a prison in a dimension with a pretty fast timezone. Caroline had to go to classes and tell the others though, so Ric was on his own in rescuing Katherine.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q12x2ExGZ

Katherine lay on her back, eyes closed, hurt from her time in the prison, wishing she had never been sent here. It was her own personal hell. This dimension brought memories and fears to life in a bad way. It could drive a person insane and worse. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAghJFQ8D1

Ric silently walked the hall of the prison, searching each cell for the ex-vampiress. She was a pain in the ass, but they needed her help. Besides, she wasn't born evil. Her tragic, hard life made her how she became.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgrMf4Hj3B
A few minutes later, he found her in a cell out cold, clearly hurt. She was clearly human, too. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4BTUJnQqZ
After breaking the lock on the cell as quietly as possible with inhuman strength, he knelt beside her and gently pulled her into his arms, before leaving the prison with her. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreVl1r8VXb

Once at his apartment, he gently layed her down in his bed and sat on her bedside. He then bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUNEGlNlxS
When her wounds had healed, he took it away and his wrist instantly healed. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkq3hK7u0m

The next day, Katherine woke up to see that she was alive and in Alaric's bed in his apartment. She heard voices that she knew were Alaric and Caroline. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYKt8PMlt0
She got to her feet and put on a pair of her clothes that were lying on a chair by the bed. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0YScSUTpC
When she was dressed, she left the room to see Alaric and Caroline seated on his couch. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKrVgSiDQL
She sat in the recliner. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJEQ1NvywY
"Never thought I'd be rescued from that place by either of you. Thanks," she said. "Why did you do it, though? Everyone wants to kill me."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTedOoc236
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need your help with a witch by the name of Kai. We don't know how to bring Bonnie back, so we thought you could help us," Caroline informed her sire. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMvLUinDr
"You're right. I can help. Where is he? I need to kick his ass when I embrace my Traveler lineage," she replied to her youngest childe. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaSzxkKhT3
"He's probably still at the cemetery," Caroline replied. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpYeahEQx8
"Welcome home," Ric said. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPQVpufcU
"Thanks," the now human replied. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSde2uwzoZ

A couple hours later, Kat had succeeded in defeating Kai, so all was well in Mystic Falls.
