Skylar and Enzo were lying in Skylar's bed at the Salvatore house. A home she now shared with both Stefan and Caroline.

"You have no idea how much I missed you." Skylar spoke up first.

"I'm beginning to get the picture. Three months of pushing you back into the darkest corners of my brain. Cheerleader fantasies aside, you're much better in person." Enzo stated, smiling softly.

"Don't you forget it." Skylar chuckled. She pecked Enzo's lips quickly before getting up to get dressed. Her phone kept beeping, so she sighed and picked it up. "I'm blowing up. They're all from Caroline."

Enzo's cell phone rung. He showed his phone to her; Damon was calling.

"You're sure your dad put him down?"

"Not so sure anymore." Skylar frowned. Enzo answered the phone.

"Damon?"

But instead of hearing Damon, Enzo was met with Sybil's siren song echoing through the phone, causing Enzo to grunt in pain.

"Enzo!" Skylar hurried over to him, concerned. "Enzo? Enzo!"

"I need help!" Skylar shouted as she burst through the doors of the Armory, helping Enzo through as he leaned most of his weight on her. Stefan and Matt averted their attention to the two, leading Skylar over to a couch to rest Enzo on.

"It was Sybil. She sang." Enzo grunted in obvious pain. "She... sh-she wormed her way back into my head." He took in a sharp breath as his eyes widened, letting out another groan. "God, the pain's moving! It feels like I'm being cut open."

"Can you see her?" Skylar grabbed Enzo's hand. "Can you talk to her?"

"No." Enzo vigorously shook his head.

"Sybil told me she was able to manipulate Damon by invading his subconscious. If you can't see or feel her, she must be in yours." Stefan announced.

"Funny, because consciously and subconsciously, I want to rip her bloody head off!" Enzo groaned. Skylar's head whipped around to face her father.

"You can get inside his head, right?"

"I don't know, I've never gone deeper than the surface." Stefan admitted, taking a few steps over to Enzo.

"Congrats, mate. You're about to have tour of some very dark places." Enzo clenched his teeth as Skylar moved over, her hand still locked with his as Stefan knelt beside Enzo, resting his hand on Enzo's arm, diving into his Enzo's subconscious.

But only a minute or two later, Stefan was forced out of Enzo's mind.

"What did you see?" Skylar wondered hurriedly.

"Matt, I need you to pull up a list of all the diners in Oakwood." Stefan instructed, confusing Matt.

"Why?"

"Because Sybil's at one of them, and she has no idea that we're onto her." Stefan said.

Enzo's ears slowly tuned into the conversation occurring around him as his eyes remained closed. 

"What are we gonna do?" Skylar spoke up, pacing around the Armory as she spoke to her father. "We have to help him!"

"I can go inside his mind again, but I don't know if that's a good idea." Stefan proposed.

"Do it. Just be careful." Skylar affirmed, as Stefan walked closer to Enzo. Stefan's hand slowly met Enzo's arm, diving back into his subconscious, and Enzo fell unconscious.

But not long later, Enzo's eyes flew open and he sat up.

"Enzo!" Skylar sighed, relieved. Her and Enzo embraced and shared a kiss.

---

"I'm fine, love. Really." Enzo let out a laugh, lay on a couch in the Salvatore living room with a glass of Bourbon in his hand.

"I know." Skylar nodded, wrapping her arms around Enzo and nuzzling up against his chest. "I just fought so hard to get you back, and here you are, still suffering for what Sybil put you through. I hope you know how much I appreciate how hard you fought to get back to me."

"That's what I do. It's what I'll always do." Enzo reassured, sitting upright.

"How did you keep fighting for so long after Damon broke?" Skylar questioned, sipping her drink. Enzo let out a sigh.

"As you know, I was an orphan. Abused. Abandoned. Spent the better part of my life tortured by a man who stripped me of my identity. A century like that, you harden your heart and your mind till you're made of stone."

"But you're not." Skylar assured, grabbed his hands in hers. "You're kind. You're gentle. And you are loving."

"Thanks to you." Enzo brushed his thumb over Skylar's hand, pulling her close, causing her to let out a laugh as she fell against his chest, knocking him onto his back. Skylar remained laying on his chest as he looked up at her. "All those years, I kept a secret from the world. A shred of faith. See, I never believed that life, the universe, a higher power, whatever you want to call it... nothing would allow me to suffer so much and then die, without knowing true love. It'd just be too cruel. And when I met you, my faith was rewarded."

"So, basically, I'm an angel." Skylar offered, a large smile growing on her face.

"Skylar Salvatore... to me, you are the whole damn world."
