Damon awoke with a heavy gasp followed by a heavy amount of coughing as he rolled to his side with a groan. It took him a few moments to realize that he was back in his own body in the Mausoleum. "Maggie," he gasped, looking around but found Bonnie in front of him, ready to help him to his feet. Now he realized where and when he was.

"Did it work?" Damon asked as he walked out of the circle of candles and sat down on one of the cement benches against the wall.

"I don't know," Bonnie admitted. "The sun isn't up yet and…Blair's still out of it."

This kicked Damon into gear. He bolted to his feet and headed back to the circle. "Blair?" Damon didn't get very far before the flame from the candles shot so high and produced heat so hot that he couldn't get through.

"Blair!" Damon tried to get through the barrier but there was no way to without killing himself in the process. He turned a furious face to Bonnie and demanded to know, "What the hell is this?!"

Bonnie was trying to calm down the flames but it wasn't working. "I – I don't know! The spell didn't say anything about this happening."

At that moment, Damon heard Maggie's voice in is head telling him about something Andrea had done and not to hold it against her. "Maggie told me Andrea did something. Is there anything in that book that could explain this?"

Bonnie quickly flipped through the Grimoire but found nothing. She did, however, discover missing pages in the binding that she didn't remember being there before. "If there was a spell…it's not here anymore."

Damon looked at the flames with pure worry on his face and fear in his eyes, thinking aloud,"What did you do, Miss Andrea?"

1864

Andrea walked into the forest that night to meet Emily Bennett under the light of the full moon. She knew Katherine would be busy with Stefan that evening and it was the perfect time – the only time to sneak away. This plan had been set in place for a little while now. It was the only thing that made sense for her to do. Damon wanted to keep her from feeling anything for Klaus in the future and she believed this was only thing to do.

Andrea found Emily lighting a circle of candles in the clearing and this is where she stopped. "Is everything ready?" she asked as she lowered the hood of her cloak.

Emily lit the final candle and turned around to face her. "Are you certain you want to do this, Andrea? There is no going back from this." She did not believe that Andrea understood the ramifications of a spell like this.

"Damon is my soulmate," Andrea replied as she moved closer. "Every single one of my lives before has loved another, but not I. Not even Klaus has a place within me in this life. Damon met me first. He loved me first. This is the only way to accomplish what he set out to do."

"This is a selfish act, Andrea." Emily had to say this. "I can see Katherine doing something like this but…"

"I am doing the right thing," Andrea retorted. "It may be the right thing for selfish reasons but that doesn't stop it from being right." She took a deep breath and looked up at the full moon above them. "Our time runs short. Are you going to cast the spell or not?"

Emily nodded, despite not liking this idea. "Only because your past life saved my family."

"Good." Andrea went into the circle and laid down in the middle of it. "When will this take effect?"

"When the spell in the future ends," Emily replied and recited the incantation from the Grimoire. As the flames shot up to complete the spell, she tore the pages from the book and threw them into the fire to ensure no one could ever use them again.

Present Day

The flames gave off one final blast of light before blowing out completely just as the sun rose over the horizon.

Damon and Bonnie both had to shield their eyes before looking back to the circle. They couldn't see Blair's face because she was rolled over on her side but at least they knew she had moved. "Miss Blair?" Damon asked as he rushed to her.

She kept her head down with her hair covering her face as Damon rushed to her. It was taking her some time to get acclimated to this and wasn't sure how Damon was going to react.

"Blair? Are you alright?" Damon crouched in front of her and moved her hair out of her face to see her clearly. What he saw shocked him because Blair wasn't there any longer. "Andrea?" he gasped in shock, trying to process this.

Bonnie couldn't believe what had happened. "What is going on? Where is Blair?"

"She's not here anymore," Andrea answered as she looked at Damon. "I am."

Despite how pleased Damon was at seeing Andrea again because he loved her so, he needed to know where Blair was. This time he was the one to ask, "Where is she?"

Andrea let out a deep breath with tears in her eyes because she was terrified that Damon hated her for what she did. "Think, Damon. You'll remember."

Damon had no idea what she was talking about until suddenly memories flooded his head and for a moment he felt like he'd been hit by a freight train.

Bonnie did not like the look of this. "Damon…where is she?"

"When," Damon corrected. "When is she." He looked from Andrea to Bonnie and back again. "She's in 1864." His head was swimming with so much at that moment, so he couldn't even think straight, yet alone process what Andrea had done.

"Well now," Klaus' seething voice said from the doorway, after finally being able to track them down now that the spell was over. "This begs the question…How do we get her back?"

1864

Blair awoke with a gasp and sat with a groan and splitting headache. She touched the dress she was wearing and looked around to see that she was outside. None of this made any sense to her as she got to her feet. "What the hell?"

Blair quickly spun around when she heard a familiar voice speak to her.

"Hello," Emily greeted. "You must be Andrea's future life."

Blair felt like she was losing her mind. "Emily? What – what the hell?"

"We have a lot to talk about." Emily brought the cloak Andrea wore over to Blair as she said, "Please keep in mind that Andrea thought this was for the best." At Blair's still present confusion – which was to be expected because of the spell – she said, "Welcome back to 1864."

The End – Dun Dun Dun!
