Bonnie found herself alone in the church after Katherine was dragged off. Still slightly shaken, she turned around and continued to light the candles. Just as she was leaving and standing outside the church, she felt something was off. She turned and saw Nadia. She quickly reminded herself that Nadia was just a ghost now and couldn't hurt her if she wanted to.

"Nadia."

"What happened?" Nadia asked. She didn't seem angry or upset. She was worried.

"You're going to have to elaborate." Bonnie said, not quite knowing what she was talking about.

"My mother. I've been waiting for what seems like a week over here for her to show up." Nadia explained.

"Nadia, I don't know how to say this…" Bonnie said. She took a deep breath. "Katherine didn't make it to the Other Side. At all. When she tried to pass through me, nothing happened."

"But you're the Anchor, all supernatural beings that die are supposed to go through you." Nadia said, looking surprised by this revelation.

"I know, but for some reason, Katherine didn't. Just after we realized she couldn't cross over, there was a wind and she was pulled back with it." Bonnie said. "As though she went to some dark dimension." Nadia looked devastated. "I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do, but I can't."

"I understand." Nadia said. "Doesn't make this any easier, though."

"I really am sorry, Nadia." Bonnie told her sincerely. "Even if I knew where she was, there's no guarantee I could help. I'm just a door to the Other Side."

"Thanks for telling me what happened, though. You're one of the only honest people I've ever known." Nadia said. Then she felt a shift and she was transported back to the Other Side. She felt tears prick the corners of her eyes. "I wish there was a way I could find you, Mother." She whispered.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked her. "You look as though you've lost your best friend." She turned and saw a girl with long, dark hair. It was then that Nadia noticed that she was surrounded by others.

"She didn't lose her friend. She lost her mother." A dark-haired guy said.

"So what? Katherine was a total bitch." Another dark-haired man said.

"Maybe she was a bitch," Nadia said, turning to face the group that had gathered. "But do you have any idea what it's like spending five centuries searching for someone you were yanked away from since birth?" The group fell silent.

Finally, a blonde girl spoke up. "Well, I lost my brother in a fire after I turned."

"I lost my whole family." A girl with short, brunette hair added.

A gentle hand came down on Nadia's shoulder. "I spent a year on the other side, separated from my daughter. We finally found each other after looking in all the wrong places. But I'm sure you can see, you're not alone here."

"Mama's right." The dark haired girl from before said. "And Katherine might have been a bitch, but she also did a few good things, too."

"Thanks." Nadia said. "I just wish I knew where she was, though. Things weren't supposed to be like this."

"Hey, we understand." The girl said. "I'm Anna, by the way."

"Pearl's daughter?" Nadia asked.

"You know of us." Pearl said, as though it were a fact, not a statement.

"Spend five hundred years looking for someone, you get a lot of information on the people she's befriended or been with or even been turned by."

"To be fair, I did not turn her on purpose." The brunette said. The guy next to her put a hand on her shoulder.

"I know that, Rose. Trevor told me she tricked you into giving you her blood." Nadia explained. Rose glanced at him. He just tugged on the back of his neck uncomfortably. "Though I have no excuse for the other things she's done."

"You mean like turning Tyler into a werewolf so she could sacrifice him?" The dark haired guy said.

"Or endangering Jeremy so she could steal the cure?" Another man added. He looked completely unfamiliar to her.

"Or forcing Stefan to become a ripper so he could save Damon?" The blonde girl asked.

"That was Klaus, not Katherine." Anna pointed out.

"She was there and she could've said something."

"Clearly you've forgotten her paralyzing fear of the Original vampires." Nadia said.

"She's got a point there, Lexi." Rose said. "Even I was frightened of them and I don't blame Katerina for being scared."

"Yeah, I guess you guys are right." Lexi said.

"I just wish I knew where she was." Nadia told them. "She was still my mother, you know. I thought we would move on together."

"Maybe there is a way we can find out." Pearl said, feeling bad for her.

"How?" Nadia asked. "I've already spoken to Bonnie. She said that she didn't make it here."

"Bonnie? How does she know about this stuff?" Someone, Nadia couldn't make out who, said.

"Apparently she's the anchor to this world." Nadia said. "She said that instead of passing through, my mother was taken away by a strong wind. As though it shook the entire church."

"Oh, dear." Pearl said, covering her mouth in shock. The others looked equally horrified.

"What? Do you know something?" Nadia asked.

"Nadia, I don't know how else to say this…" A woman emerged from the crowd. She seemed slightly older than the others, but maybe it was just the feeling Nadia got from her.

"Who are you?" Nadia asked her.

"I'm Emily. I've been here for a very long time, and I'm afraid it's not the first time I've seen something like this happen."

"You're Bonnie's ancestor. My mother knew you." Nadia said.

"Yes." Emily said. "And not all spirits cross to the other side. Some find peace, some end up in different dimensions. But I'm afraid that you're mother ended up in a dark world."

"Would she ever make it here?"

"I don't know, Nadia. Because from the way you and my descendant have described it, Katherine isn't trapped on earth or at peace. She's in Hell."
