"I wonder what would happen once you're dead. Seeing that you're, in a sense, already dead," said Enzo.

He held Bonnie in front of him, his arm under her chin ready to snap her neck in a moment's glance.

"Are you crazy?! What do you think you're doing?" A voice shouted from the doorway of the cafe.

All heads turned around towards the doorway. The figure raced towards Enzo. She twisted Enzo's arm, freeing Bonnie from his death grip. Bonnie and Enzo were roughly pushed apart.

The intruder glared at Enzo and said, "She's the Anchor for God's sake! Do you have any idea what you were about to do!"

The intruder was a girl who had raven dark hair and pale brown skin. Her eyes were a deep chocolate brown. She was tall but still shorter than Enzo. She wore black skinny jeans with flaming red, knee length top which showed her soft curves. Her hip length hair was tied into a pony and her face was crunched into an angry expression.

Enzo looked down at the beautiful girl with a mixed look of surprise and confusion.

"What are you doing here?" asked a very surprised Enzo.

Elena, Stefan, Bonnie and everyone else were still trying to digest what had happened. The girl sighed and stepped away from Enzo but still being cautious of the vampire.

"Cara! Thank god," said Elena with relief.

Cara started walking towards Bonnie. Stefan and Elena were still struggling against their vervain soaked binds.

"How did you know we were here?" Elena spoke up as Cara faced the two vampires.

"I-"

"- don't really care since you're in my way," Enzo spoke up from behind. He had recovered. "I'd advise you to leave with your pretty face. I'm not done with them yet."

Cara frowned at Enzo's words.

"Something very precious has been taken from me and I intend to compensate my loss." He continued towards the doppelgangers.

"Enzo…," Cara looked at him with pleading eyes.

Enzo faltered in his steps, but not for long. "No! He has to pay."

He broke a leg from a chair and rushed at Stefan with vampire speed, aiming for the fatal blow.

"Nooo!" shouted Elena.

Cara widened her eyes in shock and ran in front of Stefan, acting as a human shield. Enzo managed to stop himself, just barely. The sharp tip of the broken wood stood facing Cara's heart.

Enzo and Cara stared at each other. Cara was breathing heavily while Enzo's knuckles were white on the stake. They were so close to each other that Enzo could practically feel the heat radiating from Cara. With Enzo being so close, Cara's heart went haywire. She felt her anger melting and despair placing them instead.

"Enzo please," Cara whispered pleadingly. "This is not right. It's enough."

Enzo flared his nostril in anger and threw the stake out of the window. That wasn't enough, he started kicking tables and breaking mugs and coffee pots at the counter.

"It's enough?!" screamed Enzo in rage. "He brutally beheaded the love of my life and you say it's enough!"

"I told you, I didn't do it. I wasn't a ripper at that time. I have nothing to do with her death," said Stefan, trying to convince Enzo of his innocence.

Suddenly he stopped his rampage and took a deep breath. That made Cara even more nervous.

"More lies, Stefan. Still, it won't change the truth."

"You're right, it won't." Damon had entered the café and stood at the door. "But Stefan's telling the truth. He didn't do it."

"Yes he did, Damon!" Enzo insisted. "You know very well what Maggie meant to me."

At that statement, Cara felt pain and hurt, also a hint of betrayal.

"In my world of darkness," Enzo continued, "she was my only ray of sunshine. That's what I clung onto all those years in that hell. And you, of all people, know that very well Damon."

"I know Enzo, I know," Said Damon. He closed his eyes. "I didn't know she was your Maggie, Enzo. I swear if I had known then I wouldn't have done it!"

"What do you mean, Damon?" asked Enzo with narrowed eyes.

"I am so very sorry Enzo." Damon opened his eyes. It pained him to say this but, "It wasn't Stefan who killed her… it was me. She was trying to kill me… I didn't know Enzo. I am so so sorry!"

The room went dead silent. Everyone stared at Damon in shock.

"You…you killed Maggie…" Enzo whispered in shock.

"I am really sorry Enzo... This is between only you and me, buddy. If you want, then hate me, kill me, but let the others go."

"That's the problem Damon. I don't want to hate you!" Enzo said. "You're my friend. If I do…then I have nothing."

Pain flashed on Cara's face at Enzo's last few words. She didn't understand why he thought of himself alone. After all she had done for him. Did her feelings mean nothing to him?

"But there's one option…" Enzo closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

At first everyone was confused as to what he was doing, but then…"Damn it Enzo! Don't you dare!" Damon shouted at him. Cara, on the other hand, sped to Enzo and shook him by the shoulders.

Cara grabbed him and pushed him hard against the wall. She had angry tears in her eyes.

"You were about to shut if off…"she whispered. "How dare you try to do such a thing?!"

Cara backed away and said, "You've lost only one person. I've lost many. I've lost every person I loved dearly. I saw them ripped apart by vampires when I was just five, but I never held any grudge against Elena, Stefan, Damon…or even you." A tear dropped on a cheek.

Cara took a deep breath, trying to rein in her emotions. That particular memory was hell to her.

"You loved Maggie and Damon killed her. I am not saying what he did was right, but he really didn't know. She was trying to kill Damon."

Cara looked at Enzo squarely in his eyes. "Let me ask you, would have hated her if she had succeeded in killing Damon, your best friend? Or is just Damon?" I turned around to face the window, looking outside. "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. Revenge will not get your Maggie back. I am pretty sure, if she knew all this, Maggie wouldn't have wanted you to kill for her. She especially wouldn't have wanted to be the reason for you to lose your humanity."

Cara turned around to see Enzo slumped against the wall. His head bowed down in pain and despair.

Damon stood watching Enzo, torn between helping him or the captives. Cara signalled Damon to go help Stefan and Elena. Bonnie went to get the compelled students out of the building with Liv's help.

In a blur, Enzo sped out of the building. Cara stared after him in concern.
