It was situations like this one that made Damon want to tag Elena with one of those ankle bracelets they put on people under house arrest. He felt like tossing her over his shoulder and taking her home, but the last thing he wanted was to screw up the rescue efforts. Correction, the last thing he wanted was for Elena to wind up hurt and he knew that she would never forgive him for inadvertently causing the death of her best friend. All he could do at the moment was keep an eye on her, keep her safe by his side.
Damon faced Elena, holding a finger to his lips to indicate that she should be as quiet as she possibly could. Stealthily, Damon slipped in after Galinda. He would have much rather liked to burst in and rip the other witches to shreds. It was just in his nature. Seeing Bonnie in the state she was in made him want to resort to violence even more. It took every fiber of strength to keep to the plan.
