Chapter I

The Return

Previously on Eternal Flame

John was in the kitchen and as he closed the refrigerator door, he saw Elena and Eva were standing there looking at him.

"You, girls scared me." He said startled.

"Sorry." Elena said smirking.

"Is Jenna home?" John asked them.

"She had to meet the fire chief about the building. She doesn't know the truth. They've covered it up." Danielle explained to John.

"Yeah I know. How's Jeremy?" John asked them worried about his nephew.

"Holed up in his room." Elena said, while they continued to talk, Jeremy was in his bed, unconscious after taking all those pills.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva arrived at the house. Elena was on the phone with Stefan while Eva grabbed her keys to get the door opened.

"I looked everywhere and Eva looked too." Elena explained to her boyfriend.

"What do you think, someone stole it?" Stefan asked her worried.

"Yeah, someone definitely took our stuff." Elena finally agreed.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva were still talking in the kitchen.

"Can I help?" John asked them when Eva looked at John's ring and smiled at her sister.

"Sure." Elena said smiling.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena was still on the porch, still talking on the phone with Stefan while her sister was waiting for her to come inside the house.

"You want me to pick you up?" Stefan asked her when she had told him that she and Eva were going to the hospital to know news about Caroline.

"I'm just gonna check on Jeremy before I go to the hospital with Eva, can you meet me there?" Elena asked her boyfriend.

"You bet." Stefan said smiling into the phone.

"Okay, I love you Stefan." Elena said smiling widely.

"I love you too." Stefan replied smiling too.

~~~Eternal~~~ Beginning~~~

Elena grabbed a knife and cut off John's fingers, including his ring. Then Eva using vampire speed pushed John against the sink.

"Katherine?! Danielle?!" John asked horrified.

"Hello John." Danielle said and reveled her vampire face.

"Goodbye John." Katherine said and did the same thing that her sister did while stabbed him.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Finally Elena got inside the house and was smiling. Eva that had heard part of the conversation, smiled and nodded to upstairs. They wanted to check on Jeremy.

"Jeremy? Are you up?" Elena asked when they heard a noise on the kitchen and both girls went towards there.

"What hell is that noise?" Eva asked to herself.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

The girls entered into the kitchen and they found John on the floor, bleeding really badly. Eva rushed over to him and tried to stop the bleeding while Elena grabbed the phone and called 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" The receiver said when Elena called.

"Hi, I… I need an ambulance to 2104 Maple Street." Elena said panicking.

"Behind you." John said whispering to Elena after seeing Katherine and Danielle watching them.

"What?" Elena asked not hearing what he said to her while Eva continued pressuring his wound.

"Behind you!" John shouted this time.

Elena turned around and gasped but she saw no one was there. Then she grabbed the bloody knife and cautiously approached the hallway to see if someone was there or if it was in another room of the house. Katherine and Danielle speeded around, frightening Elena, before she ran out the door worried. Eva that finally stopped the bleeding from John's wound went look for her sister to help her. When she found Elena, she saw that her sister was terrified, and when both of them remembered Jeremy.

"Jeremy! He forgot about Jeremy!" Eva exclaimed.

"Jeremy!" Elena shouted and she raced up the stairs to his room with Eva right behind her. "Jeremy! Jeremy!" Elena said when found him unconscious on his bed. "Please, Jeremy, wake up!" Elena said shaking Jeremy frantically for him to wake up.

"Come on, Jer. Wake up." Eva did the same thing that Elena did and finally he woke up startled. When they saw that Jeremy was okay, Eva and Elena went downstairs to open the door to the paramedics. They put John on the bed and he was taken away in the ambulance to the hospital when Stefan arrived at the house.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

When Stefan tried to get inside the house, one of the officers tried to keep Stefan from entering.

"He's okay." Elena said to the officer. Then Stefan followed Elena upstairs into Jeremy's room where Eva was pacing on the floor worried sick for him.

"What happened?" He asked to the girls.

"He said that Anna gave him her blood and then he took these pills and now… I mean he looks fine but then again so do you. So, I just... I don't know." Elena explained to him what her little brother did.

"Look at me." Stefan went to him and took his face on his hand and started to examine his eyes.

"I'm fine, okay? I feel exactly the same." Jeremy said to them.

"What we need to do?" Eva said with nervous voice.

"Should I call a paramedic up here? What should I do?" Elena fired questions just like Eva, she was nervous.

"No, he's fine." Stefan said looking into Jeremy's eyes.

"You mean I'm not a vampire? Damn it!" Jeremy cursed.

"Don't say that Jeremy! Jer, why would you want that?" Elena asked him surprised that he would want to be a vampire.

"Did you hear about Anna, what happened to her tonight? She's dead." Jeremy said to his sisters.

"I didn't know." Eva stated to her brother.

"Jeremy, Jeremy. Come here, sit down." Stefan said pushing Jeremy back down on his bed. Then he grabbed the young boy's face in his hands and made him look at him. "I am very sorry about Anna but it's very important that you listen to me right now. With every passing moment, Anna's blood is leaving your system. If you try to kill yourself right now, you could really die." Stefan said to him and Jeremy looked away. "Hey, listen!" Stefan said slapping him. "Do you understand me?!" Stefan asked once again.

"Stefan..." Elena started.

"Stefan!" Eva said surprised that Stefan slapped her brother.

"Yeah, I understand." Jeremy finally nodded in understanding.

"Good." Stefan said and got up from the bed and joined the girls.

"What about the pills that he took?" Elena asked worried.

"He didn't take enough to die so Anna's blood actually healed him, I bet." Stefan explained to Elena when an officer knocked on the doorframe of Jeremy's room.

"Miss Gilbert?" He said to the girls.

"I'll be right there." Elena said to the officer.

"I'm gonna talk with officer. See you downstairs." Eva said and left with the officer.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"You need to be at the hospital." Stefan stated to Elena.

"But..." She was going to say something.

"No, no, no, I'll stay here with Jeremy." Stefan said to her looking into her brown eyes.

"No, I don't need a babysitter." Jeremy stated because he wanted to be alone.

"Yes, you do." Elena finally agreed with Stefan and left to join her sister before they went to the hospital.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

When Eva went downstairs, she found the officer talking with another officer about what had happened in the house. What if it was a vampire from the tomb wanting revenge on her family? She decided to approach the officer to know what he wanted when he went upstairs.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but you wanted talk with me or my sister about something?" Eva asked to the officer.

"Yes, Miss Gilbert. Can you tell what happened here?" The officer asked her.

"I really don't know. My sister and I arrived from school and when we came in, we heard a noise coming from the kitchen, so we both went to check out and found our uncle on the floor bleeding." Eva explained what had happened.

"And then what happened?" The officer asked her again.

"I went to stop the bleeding and Elena, my sister, went to call for help and an ambulance for our uncle, when she decided to check on our little brother because he had come home before us." Eva said to the officer.

"Anything else?" The officer asked.

"No, that's everything that happened." Eva said to the officer and then saw her sister coming downstairs.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Matt was still at the hospital waiting for news about his girlfriend. He was sitting alone outside of Caroline's room when Bonnie arrived and walked over to him, to know if he had some news.

"How is Caroline?" Bonnie asked Matt.

"She's not good, Bon." Matt said with a weak voice.

"What happened?" Bonnie asked him worried too.

"We were driving and Tyler heard this noise and he got…" Matt started to explain what had happened.

"A noise?" Bonnie asked already knowing what that meant.

"He got this migraine or something and he lost control of the car and... I thought that Caroline was fine and then... and then she wasn't so..." Matt said crying.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

The sheriff Forbes was at the hospital desk getting everything it was need for Caroline while she was at the hospital when Damon walked over to her.

"Liz, I came as soon as I got the message. Is she okay?" Damon asked her worried.

"She's in surgery; they're doing everything they can. I need your help Damon." The Sheriff explained to Damon.

"Sure, anything Liz." Damon said with a worried voice.

"Mayor Lockwood is dead. They thought he was a vampire. They put him in the basement." She explained to Damon.

"Mayor Lockwood was a vampire?" Damon asked feigning surprise.

"No, no. A mistake was made, they said he dropped like the others when John's device went off but he… he couldn't have been a vampire, I've known the man my whole life and now Carol Lockwood is gonna want answers and all I can think of right now is Caroline and..." The Sheriff said and began to cry.

"It's okay. It's okay." Damon said and hugged her while she wept.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva arrived at the hospital, when they saw Bonnie; they went over towards her to know if she had some news.

"Bonnie. How's Caroline?" Elena asked Bonnie worried.

"She's weak. They don't know if she's going to make it." Bonnie said with some tears on her eyes.

"What?" Eva asked with a worried voice. Then Bonnie embraced the girls and Damon was near and decided to peer over at them.

"Is there something that you can do? Like a spell or something?" Elena asked her.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"She doesn't know how, do you?" Damon said to Bonnie after deciding to give his opinion on the matter.

"No, I don't." Bonnie said agreeing with him.

"No, you don't because it took Emily years to learn a spell like that." Damon said knowing how powerful Emily Bennett was.

"Well, I can take down a vampire, that spell was easy to learn." Bonnie said glaring at him.

"I can give Caroline some blood." Damon suggested at them.

"No, no way." Elena said right away.

"Maybe that can work." Eva said accepting Damon's idea.

"No, just enough to heal her. She will be safe in the hospital and it will be out of her system in a day, she will be better Elena." Damon explained to Elena.

"It's too risky, I can't agree to that." Elena said to Damon.

"Elena, we could try." Eva said trying to convince her sister.

"Do it." Bonnie said to Damon and then she saw Elena's expression. "This is Caroline; that we are talking about. We can't let her die." She said to Elena and turned to Damon once again. "Do it." She said again.

"Lena, I agree with them." Eva said to Elena.

"If I do this, you and me, call a truce?" Damon said turning to Bonnie.

"No. But you'll do it anyway. For Eva." Bonnie said to him and left them alone.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena followed Bonnie and left Damon and Eva alone. He wanted to talk with Eva about the night they spend together, but the difference it was that Damon spend the night with Danielle and not Eva.

"I know this is probably the last thing you want to do right now but we should talk about what happened tonight." Damon said to Eva.

"Yeah, one of the tomb vampires got into the house and almost killed John." Eva said to him worried about that.

"What? When? What are you talking about? After I left?" Damon asked her surprised by that because when John was attacked she was with him.

"You were there?" Eva asked surprised by that.

"Come on, Eva, you know I was." Damon said to her not understanding why she was denying their night.

"When were you at the house?" Eva asked him surprised.

"Really? Earlier, on the porch, we were talking, all cathartic, feelings exposed. Come on, we kissed, Eva and then, you went to my house and we had sex." Damon said to her continued telling her about their night.

"Okay, I don't have time for this Damon." Eva said to Damon.

"If you want to forget what happened fine but I can't." Damon said to her leaving.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

After a few minutes, Jenna arrived.

"Elena, I came as soon as I got your message. How is John?" Jenna said to Eva and glared at Damon, while he was listening the conversation.

"Where have you been?" Eva asked her.

"At the fire department, I had to fill out a report. I told you earlier." Jenna said to her niece like it was obvious. Jenna had informed her about that.

"No, you didn't." Eva said to her not understanding.

"Yes, I did." Jenna told her once again.

"No, Jenna, you didn't." Eva stated once again.

"Yes, I did." Jenna said again. Damon that was listening their conversation realized that it was Danielle that he had kissed and had sex with, not Eva. Elena that had come to join her sister and Jenna looked at him with confusion.

"Mmm, you got to be kidding me." Damon said that out loud and then looked at them deciding to walk away from there.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Jenna looked at the girls and then left to ask some questions about how John was, while the girls, Elena and Eva talked about what happened with Damon.

"What happened with Damon?" Elena asked her sister.

"Damon said that we kissed and had sex but it was impossible because I was with the whole time." Eva said to Elena.

"What?" Elena asked completely surprised by that.

"Yeah, but I was with you." Eva said still confused.

"Strange…" Elena said already suspecting that maybe that had something to do with Danielle and Katherine.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Gilbert House, Jeremy was asleep on his bed while Stefan was pacing around the room and watching out for the little Gilbert. When Stefan had stopped for a minute, he heard the front door opening. He went downstairs and found Elena and Eva coming home from the hospital.

"Hey. How was Caroline?" Stefan asked worried about the blond girl.

"Not good." Elena said and hugged Stefan. "Just what I needed." She said sighing and when she tried to kiss him, Stefan grabbed her neck and bared his fangs at her, because he knew it was Katherine. Then he threw her on the couch. Then she got up in vampire speed. Danielle appeared beside her sister smirking.

"Katherine. Danielle." Stefan said calmly.

"At least one of you was fooled." Katherine said smirking. Stefan rushed to her and pushed her on the wall. "Feel better?" Katherine asked him and Stefan pushed her once again against another wall when Danielle went to help her twin sister. Then someone began opening the front door. Stefan being distracted by that, Danielle took the opportunity to grab his arm, bend it behind his back, and throw him down on the floor to help Katherine. They smiled at him and rushed out of the house. Elena, Eva and Damon entered the house. The older Salvatore had some news to Stefan. When they were inside the house, they found Stefan on the floor but he stood up immediately to know what they knew.

"Stefan?" Elena called her boyfriend.

"Elena." Stefan said seeing her.

"What happened?" Elena asked him worried.

"Katherine and Danielle happened." Damon said sarcastically.

"WHAT?" Eva shouted worried.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Damon and Stefan were in the kitchen talking while the girls went upstairs to see if Jeremy was alright.

"Did they say what they wanted?" Damon questioned her brother.

"No." Stefan stated looking at his brother.

"Those women certainly know how to make an entrance." Damon commented.

"Katherine said that one of them fooled one of us, at least. What does that mean?" The younger Salvatore asked.

"Danielle pretended to be Eva too when I showed up earlier tonight." Damon said to his brother.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva entered in the kitchen to talk with the boys when Stefan walked towards them and hugged Elena.

"We told Jeremy, we can't lie to him anymore." Elena said to them.

"Yeah and he would be more pissed at us for that." Eva supplied her sister.

"Are you alright?" He asked them.

"No, I'm not alright. I thought that with all the tomb vampires gone things would get better." Elena said sighing.

"Now, one of them got inside the house and we are all in danger." Eva said sighing too.

"I know. We all did." Stefan agreed with the girls.

"Katherine and Danielle were in this house, that means they have been invited in, what are we gonna do?" Elena asked worried.

"Move." Damon said sarcastically.

"Damon!" Eva said surprised by that.

"Very helpful, thank you." Elena said sitting down.

"Katherine and Danielle, wants you both, dead; there's zero you can do about it; you would be dead but you're not. So clearly they have other plans." Damon said to the girls.

"Right and we need to find out what those other plans are and not provoke them in the process." Stefan advised them. "What happened tonight when you thought she was Eva?" Stefan asked his brother hoping that he didn't do something stupid.

"To risk another frown line encroaching on a very crowded forehead. We... kissed and then we had sex." Damon said simply.

"What?" Eva said surprised.

"And you thought it was my sister?" Elena said surprised too.

"What do you mean you kissed and had sex?" Stefan asked him because he didn't want to see Damon hurting Eva.

"Well, you know when two lips pucker and they go." Damon explained and puckered his lips and made kissing noises. "Then when two people want to be together with more than kisses they strip their clothes…" Damon started to say that to Stefan sarcastically but Stefan rushed at him with his vampire speed but Damon used his vampire speed as well and stood next to Eva. "Don't be obvious, Stefan." He said to his younger brother while Stefan started going against Damon again but Eva put herself in the middle of two vampires while Elena did the same.

"Stefan wait, he kissed Danielle, not me and had sex with her." Eva started and then she looked at Damon. "I wouldn't do that but if I had sex with Damon it was between him and me, no one else. I don't need anyone to protect me from Damon." Eva said defending Damon from Stefan but it had hurt like hell when she heard that the older Salvatore had had sex with Danielle even if he thought that Danielle was her.

"We don't have time for this, guys." Elena said to Damon and Stefan.

"Later." Stefan said looking directly at his brother.

"Stefan, leave him alone." Eva said to him.

"John must know something. There has to be a reason why Katherine and Danielle tried to kill him." Elena said to them.

"They are Katherine and Danielle. They love to play games and you're fooling yourself if you think you're going to find out what they have been up to before they want you to know." Damon said to them.

"No, actually Elena's right, John could know something through Isobel. Your mother, she was in touch with Katherine and Danielle so maybe we can go to the hospital and get him to talk." Stefan suggested to them.

"I've got a better idea." Damon said because he didn't want to see them.

"What's that?" Elena asked with curiosity.

"I'm just gonna ignore the bitches. See you." Damon said prepared to leave the house.

"Is that smart?" Eva asked him worried.

"If Katherine and Danielle think they are been ignored it will lure them out, they'll make a move." Damon said the obvious to them.

"Yeah? And then what?" Stefan asked sarcastically.

"Stake them; rip their heads off, something poetic. We'll see." Damon said to them and he left the others alone. Eva goes after him for them to talk.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Damon was on the porch when Eva walked outside to talk with him. He was still thinking how he didn't notice that it wasn't Eva but Danielle.

"Hey." Eva said to him staying beside him.

"Hey." He acknowledged her.

"I wanted to talk with you about what happened. When you thought that we had sex earlier." Eva said to Damon.

"What about that? I thought it was you and in the end it wasn't." Damon said to her with a tone of sarcasm.

"Damon, if it was me, I would have had sex with you in anytime, but it wasn't me, it was Danielle. I'm sorry that you have been fooled by her once again." Eva said to him.

"You would?" Damon asked surprised.

"Yeah, I would. But I'm sorry that happened. Know that when you figure out your feelings for me and for Danielle, I will be here waiting for you." Eva said to him and kissed his cheek. "Don't forget that." Eva said and got inside the house.

"I will." Damon whispered and left the house too.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Bonnie was on the hospital and was talking with Matt about Caroline state. Matt had spent the night at the hospital.

"You've been here all night?" Bonnie asked him worried.

"Yeah, with the sheriff." Matt told her with a tired voice.

"No one else?" Bonnie asked him trying to know if Damon had come to give Caroline some blood for her to be healed.

"Stefan's brother Damon stopped by late last night." Matt said to Bonnie.

"How is Caroline today?" Bonnie asked with hope that her friend was alright.

"See for yourself." Matt said to her getting up and both of them went into Caroline's room.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Caroline was awake and looking completely healthy, like it was nothing serious what she had last night.

"Jersey Shore's on." Caroline said looking up from the television that it was on and then Bonnie embraced her friend. "Careful, still a little sore." Caroline said feeling a little pain.

"Sorry." Bonnie apologized.

"It's okay but they say I'm healing really quickly." Caroline said happily.

"My turn." Matt said and kissed her.

"Oh, isn't he cute? Why are you crying?" Caroline asked her when saw that Bonnie was crying from happiness.

"I'm just happy you're okay." Bonnie said with tears on her eyes.

"Oh, I love you guys!" Caroline said laughing with them.

"We love you." Bonnie said happily and the three of them embraced each other.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Everyone was going to the Lockwood Mansion because of the Mayor's death last night after the fire. In a corner of the house, Carol Lockwood was talking with Sheriff Forbes and Damon about what had happened.

"I want to know exactly who's responsible for killing my husband." Carol informed the Sherriff and Damon.

"I'm looking into it but you have to be straight with me. Is there any reason Richard was affected by the vampire device?" The Sherriff asked Carol.

"What are you implying? That he was one of them?" Carol was pissed at them.

"No, no. No one's implying that." Damon defended the Sheriff.

"Your deputy screwed up, plain and simple which makes you responsible." Carol said angry at everything.

"Carol..." Damon tried to tell her again.

"Your husband is the one who helped John Gilbert execute his idiot plan in the first place." The Sheriff defended herself and her deputies.

"Liz..." Damon tried once again with the Sheriff to calm her and Carol.

"Someone got my husband killed." Carol stated still angry.

"We're all on edge here. You've suffered a great loss. The whole town has. We have to stick together, okay? Trust each other, we'll get through this." Damon said to the Sherriff and to Carol.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Tyler was at the front door, greeting guests who were coming to the Mayor's funeral. A big jeep drove up to the front of the mansion and a man stepped out.

"So the black sheep returns." Tyler said jokingly.

"Tyler?" The man said when he saw Tyler.

"Yeah." Tyler nodded his head.

"What happened to you? In my mind you're twelve years old." The man said laughing at him and surprised to see Tyler all grown up.

"Then that's two years older than the last time you saw me, Uncle Mason." Tyler said laughing and they embraced each other.

"Good to see you again." Mason said to his nephew.

"It's good to see you too. Come on inside." Tyler said to his uncle.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Stefan and the girls were walking down the hallway to John's room in the hospital. They had so many questions to him.

"Ready for this?" Stefan asked them and both nodded.

"John?" Elena asked John when she entered the room with Eva and Stefan. John opened his eyes and started to panic when he saw Elena and Eva. He tried to press the button to call the nurse, but Stefan grabbed his hand and took it away from him. "I'm Elena. I'm not… I'm not Katherine." Elena said to him.

"And I'm not Danielle, I'm Eva." Eva said pointing at herself.

"We know they did this to you." Stefan said staring at him.

"We need to know why." Elena said to John.

"Please, tell us." Eva pleaded to him.

"Where are they?" John asked to them.

"You tell us." Stefan said to him.

"I don't know." John said and tried to sit up but Stefan pushed him back down.

"You are a little too weak to play tough guy. Why don't you just sit back and answer a few questions?" Stefan asked him.

"Please, tell us why they are here. What do they want?" Elena pleaded with him and placed the Gilbert Ring into John's hand while he didn't respond to anything.

"Please, John. We want to protect Jeremy and Jenna." Eva pleaded with him once again.

"They'll try again; we can't help you if you don't confide in us." Stefan said to John.

"In you?" John asked sarcastically.

"In your daughters then." Stefan said looking up at him.

"My daughter should have driven a stake through your heart and Eva on your brother's by now." Then he looked at Elena and Eva. "I never spoke with Katherine and Danielle directly, they never trusted me." John said and the looked at Stefan. "So either kill me or get out because I can't stand the sight of you with my daughters." John said with so much hate on his voice.

"You see the world with such hatred. It's gonna get you killed." Elena stated and walked away from there.

"One day you could have had our love but with this hate, you will lose us." Eva said and went after her sister.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Stefan was left alone with John where he hesitated, and then he rushed over to John and choked him to get more information.

"You may be okay with dying but I have a better plan for you." Stefan said to him and bites his wrist and put it on John's mouth forcing his blood down his throat. "You now have my blood in your system; all I have to do is kill you. Now take my advice. Leave town. Elena and Eva don't want you here. You've got about 24 hours before the blood leaves your system, that's enough time to disappear or so help me God, I will turn you into a vampire and I will watch you hate yourself more than you already do." Stefan said and left him. John was gasping in horror what would happen. "The clock starts now." The Salvatore told him and left the room.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Eva and Elena were outside waiting for Stefan to finished talking with their uncle. They still wanted to know where the Pierce twins were.

"Where are they?" Elena asked to herself.

"I don't know but I'm worried." Eva said to her sister and they both looked at each other. With Danielle and Katherine Pierce back in town, they will cause trouble, big trouble for everyone in town.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

The entire towns' were at the Lockwood Mansion for the Mayor's wake while Damon was watching Mason and Carol talking. He was having a bad feeling coming from this guy. He decided go talk with Sheriff Forbes to get information about the new comer to the town.

"Who's the guy with Carol?" Damon asked to the Sheriff.

"It's the mayor's younger brother, Mason Lockwood." The Sheriff said to Damon looking at Carol and Mason talking.

"Is he on the council? Like John Gilbert was when he rolled in?" Damon asked with curiosity on his voice.

"He's nothing like John. For one, he's not an ass. He's not a believer either. He wants nothing to do with the council. He's too preoccupied finding the perfect wave." The Sheriff explained to Damon.

"Thanks." Damon thanked the Sherriff and watched her walk away. "See you." He said to her and continued to watch Mason and Carol talking.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Katherine and Danielle walked towards the entrance of the Lockwood house. They were pretending to be Elena and Eva once again. Tyler stopped them and grabbed both their hands in appreciation.

"Hey Elena, hey Eva, thanks for coming. Come on in." He invited them to get inside the house and when both sisters were inside they smiled at each other.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva were still waiting for Stefan when he joined them and they started to walk away from there.

"Hey, we just have to swing by home to pick up Jenna and Jeremy so we can go to the Lockwoods'. How did you leave him there, John?" Elena asked Stefan with curiosity.

"I... I asked him to leave town." Stefan said looking to the girls.

"Asked? You threatened him." Elena stated after stopped walking.

"Stefan, we know you." Eva said to him.

"Yeah, I threatened him." Stefan told them.

"Good. I want him gone, Stefan. I know that I shouldn't feel that way but I don't want someone like that in my life. Or Jeremy's life." Elena said to her boyfriend.

"I agree with my sister." Eva agreed with her sister.

"I know." Stefan said knowing the girls and gives a hug to them.

"So what now?" Eva asked them after they pulled apart.

"Now, I need to go find Damon." Stefan said to the girls.

"Please Stefan, don't fight with him." Elena pleaded with him because she knew of they fought, Eva would be hurt by that.

"No Elena, he tried to kiss and sleep with your sister. I'm not okay with that." Stefan justified himself.

"Stefan, I love your brother. And that is my personal life. I can kiss anyone I want and he can do the same." Eva defended herself and Damon.

"That's not the problem, Katherine and Danielle are. They're already messing with both of your heads and Damon is not stable when it comes to Danielle. The last thing we need is to make things worse." Elena explained to her boyfriend.

"Exactly. We need to get to Damon understand that very slowly." Eva continued for her sister.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Damon was looking around when he found Bonnie, and decided go talk with her about the device.

"Did you know the Gilbert device affected Tyler Lockwood?" Damon asked her beside her at one table. "Well, I know it took the mayor down." He said to her.

"Don't you want to know why?" Bonnie asked him sarcastically.

"Yes Bonnie, I would love to know why a non-vampire was tortured by the vampire torture device that you let John Gilbert use against us. Speaking of your guilt how's Caroline?" Damon asked her getting to a point that guilt appeared on Bonnie's face.

"She's much better." Bonnie said happy because Damon gave her vampire blood.

"You're welcome." Damon said sarcastically to her because Bonnie didn't thank him for his help.

"No, you're welcome." Bonnie said to him prepared to leave the room.

"Why am I welcome?" Damon asked with curiosity.

"You live to see another day." Bonnie stated to him.

"No good deal goes unpunished with you, does it?" Damon wondered.

"Doesn't undue the bad. I know what you are Damon, you might have Elena, Eva and the sheriff and everybody else fooled but not me. One wrong move and I'm gonna take you out." Bonnie threated Damon.

"Now you need to stop with the witches' brew. You're starting to believe your own press." Damon advised to her. Then Bonnie started to stare at Damon and he held his head in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you were saying?" Bonnie asked him leaving the dining room.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

When she walked out to the front porch, she saw the twins, Katherine and Danielle, pretending to be Elena and Eva; she walked over to talk with them.

"Oh my god! Damon drives me crazy. He's walking around like he's some kind of hero for healing Caroline when it's his fault all of this happened in the first place." Bonnie said to the girls.

"I'm sorry Bonnie. What Damon's done is just awful." Katherine said pretending to be Elena once again.

"Bonnie, don't say that." Danielle pleaded while she pretended to be Eva.

"Okay, better. Hateful Damon moment over." Bonnie stated and touched Katherine's arm and immediately sensed that the girls weren't Elena and Eva. "I've got to find Tyler and pay my respects. I'll be back." She said to the girls.

"Okay." Danielle said pretending to be Eva.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Bonnie walked away as Katherine and Danielle watched her go. Bonnie walked into a room and immediately dialed Elena on her phone.

"Hello?" Elena said when picked the phone.

"Elena? Where are you and Eva?" Bonnie asked into the phone.

"Bonnie, I know we are late. We are getting in the car now. We will be there in 5 minutes." Elena said and hanged up.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Bonnie was shocked and when she turned around to leave, she saw Katherine and Danielle were behind her. She gasped with shock.

"We haven't officially met. I'm Katherine." Katherine said with a sweet voice.

"And I'm Danielle." Danielle used the same tone has her sister.

"I know who you are." Bonnie said to the Pierce sisters.

"Of course you do. You're the best friend right? I've been putting all the pieces of Elena's life together. Isobel told me it was a bit of a puzzle. I do know who Jenna and Jeremy are and I met that delicious ex-boyfriend Matt, who's sweet on Caroline, and then there's you, the vampire-hating Bennett witch. Did I do good?" Katherine asked sarcastically.

"You took the words out of my mouth my darling sister, but I have been putting the pieces of Eva's wonderful life. The only difference is Tyler, the ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her." Danielle said smiling.

When the twins were smiling sickly at Bonnie, she tried to leave the room, but one of the girls, Katherine used her super speeds around her and blocked her way out. Bonnie used her migraine inducing spell on Katherine. Katherine feigned being hurt.

"I've been around a long time Bonnie; you're gonna have to do better than that." She said and Danielle grabbed Bonnie by the throat and pushed her against the wall. Then both girls showed her their vampire face. Bonnie opened the doors with her powers to expose them to the other guests. Then their faces went back to normal.

"Nice." Danielle said smiling while Stefan appeared on the doorway.

"Katherine. Danielle." Stefan greeted the sisters.

"Stefan." Danielle said with a smile.

"Hello, my dear Stefan." Katherine said purring.

"Leave her alone." Stefan ordered to Danielle.

"Okay." Danielle agreed and released Bonnie and then leaves the room. Katherine went after her sister but before traced her finger across his chest as she walked past him, Bonnie and Stefan looked at each other worried and Stefan followed Katherine and Danielle out into the main room.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"What are you two doing here?" Stefan asked them when he approached.

"After the way you treated me last night, I thought that a public place would be less violent." Katherine said grabbing a cup for her and one for her sister, of the tray.

"Yes, Stefan, you hurt me and my sister." Danielle said accepting the cup from her sister.

"You two are taking this a little far, don't you think? Elena and Eva could walk in at any moment." Stefan said to them.

"Mmm, but that's part of the fun, Stefan." Katherine said and picked up a cherry from the food table.

"Damon's here, somewhere. I've been avoiding him." Danielle continued for her sister and picked a strawberry from the same table her sister took hers. Katherine and Danielle were putting the cherry in their mouths, but when they saw Matt, she took it back out and Tyler was right behind him.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"Hey guys." Matt said to them when came close to them.

"Hey girls, again. Hey Stefan." Tyler said to them.

"Hey Matt. I heard that Caroline is doing much better. Her recovery was practically miraculous, you must be so relieved." Katherine said faking worry.

"I was so worried about her." Danielle said continued with their plan.

"I am. Thanks girls." He said and then left the room.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"Uh! His eyes are so blue!" Katherine said to them.

"You always loved blue eyes, sister." Danielle said to her sister smiling.

"You need to leave now." Stefan ordered them once again.

"You're hurting my feelings, Stefan." Katherine said to him feigning hurt.

"Damon was much happier to see me, then again he thought I was Eva, so..." Danielle said sarcastically.

"Girls, I'm not doing this with you." Stefan said to them.

"Okay, how about we don't have a couple's fight in front of all of your friends?" The youngest of the Pierces asked.

"Walk with me and my sister." Danielle suggested to Stefan.

"Just tell me what you two are doing here." Stefan said to them.

"Maybe I missed you. Is that an acceptable reason?" Katherine said flirting with Stefan.

"And I could missed Damon?" Danielle asked batting her eyes lashes at Stefan.

"What game are you two playing?" Stefan asked them.

"Why, you want to play with us?" Katherine asked him with a seductive voice.

"You are more than more welcome to play with us." Danielle smirked.

"I don't know. How can I play if I don't know the rules?" Stefan asked Katherine looking up at her.

"No rules, Stefan. Don't you remember? No rules." Danielle said smiling joining her sister while they both walked out of the room after looking back at Stefan.

"Exactly Stefan. No rules." Katherine said to him and the younger vampire looked at them. Katherine stopped and held her hand out for him to take. Stefan walked over towards them. Then Katherine smiled and turns around, still holding her hand out for Stefan to hold and Danielle was waiting for her sister and him to come. Stefan walked right past Katherine and then Danielle, ignoring Katherine's silent request to held hands. Katherine dropped her hand and followed Stefan and her sister outside to talk.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena, Eva, Jenna and Jeremy arrived at the Mansion. They were coming to pay their respects to the Lockwood family.

"Looks like the whole town decided to come out." Jenna commented to her nieces and nephew.

"Yeah. Well he is... he was the mayor." Elena said to her aunt.

"Why don't they save it for the funeral?" Jeremy asked sarcastically.

"That's what people do. The Lockwood family was there for us when we went through this. It'll be quick; we'll drop off the food and pay our respects and go." Jenna explained to Jeremy.

"In and out? It sounds like a plan." Jeremy asked to them.

"You guys go ahead, I'll be right there, okay?" Eva said to them when she saw Damon on the porch.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

"Hey, how are you doing?" Eva asked him when she reached him.

"Great, Eva. Walking on the sunshine, thanks for asking." Damon said sarcastically.

"Damon." Eva said looking up at him.

"Eva." Damon said once again.

"We should be able to talk about this. Damon, we're close enough now. I really want to know how you are doing." Eva said to Damon.

"I kissed you and then we had sex; I thought you kissed me back. Doppelgänger hijinks ensued. How do you think I'm doing?" Damon asked her sarcastically.

"I think that you're hurt." Eva said to Damon.

"No, I don't get hurt, Eva." Damon said to her.

"No, you don't admit that you get hurt. You get angry and cover it up and then you do something stupid." Eva said to him. "I know a little bit about you."

"You're scared. You think that Danielle is gonna send me off the deep end, don't you? I don't need her for that." Damon said and prepared to leave but stopped. "You know, why… why is it such a surprise that I would kiss you and we end up having sex?" He asked with curiosity.

"That's not a surprise because we kissed plenty of times and I would have sex with you anytime but what hurts is that it was her and not me. I wanted to be me to have that night with you." Eva said sadly.

"I'm sorry, because I really thought it was you. I didn't want to hurt you." Damon told her touching her cheek.

"It's not your fault. It is her's because she lied to you." Eva said and Damon nodded and then left, but Bonnie and Elena ran up to them.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Bonnie finally found one of the twins and decided to tell her want happened to her if one of the Salvatores hadn't appeared.

"They did something to you?" Elena asked worried.

"No, don't worry. Stefan came and helped me." Bonnie said to ease Elena's worries.

"We need to talk with Damon and Eva about that. Let's go." Elena said to Bonnie and they both went look for Eva.

"Eva!" Bonnie called Eva when she saw Damon and Eva talking.

"Bonnie, what happened?" Eva asked to the girls.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Jeremy walked into the Mayor's office. He was looking for some peace and quiet until it was time to leave the mansion. There he found Tyler in there alone, drinking from a flask.

"Sorry, I was just looking for the..." Jeremy tried to explain.

"Bathroom is down the hall." Tyler stated to him not wanting to talk.

"Hey look... I'm sorry about your dad." Jeremy said with a sincere voice.

"Today has been a big day of sorry's from people who really don't give a crap." Tyler said to him.

"I remember when my dad died; I had a house full of strangers telling me what a great guy he was. Anyway, I know how hard all this is." Jeremy said remembering when his parents died on the car accident.

"The difference is in your case it was true. My dad was a dick." Tyler said to Jeremy the truth.

"Yeah, yeah he was." Jeremy agreed with Tyler.

"I found this in his desk." Tyler said holding a flask to Jeremy, while he hesitated to drink. "He won't mind, he's dead." The older boy tried to convince the younger Gilbert.

"Yeah, you know what, sure. Why not?" Jeremy said taking the flask and drank from it when Tyler's uncle arrived.

"Hey, what's going on in here Tyler?" Mason asked to his nephew.

"Nothing, nothing." Tyler said to his uncle hoping that he and Jeremy weren't caught.

"Don't you have somewhere else to be?" Mason asked looking up at Jeremy while the young Gilbert gave him the flask and left the room. Then Mason drank from it and gave it back to Tyler.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Danielle, Katherine and Stefan were outside, walking around the propriety and talking too, about the past and the present.

"The Lockwoods have a lot more land than they used to. The possessions from all the tomb vampires built them quite a fortune." Katherine commented to Stefan.

"Yeah, why did you two want them dead? You're the ones who turned most of those vampires." Stefan asked to the girls.

"There's nothing more annoying than a vengeful vampire, Stefan. Just ask John Gilbert." Danielle told him and they stopped walking.

"You two haven't changed at all, have you?" Stefan asked them.

"But you have. You're stronger. Meaner. It's sexy." Katherine said flirting.

"I have to agree with you sister." Danielle said smirking.

"Don't flirt with me Katherine and you too, Danielle. I'm not Damon; I haven't spent one hundred and forty five years obsessed with Danielle." Stefan stated.

"Yeah, based on your choice of women, I'd say otherwise. Although I'll admit it does bother me that you've falling in love with someone else." Katherine said to him, remembering him about his relationship with Elena.

"And don't forget Damon, is the same too, sister." Danielle said remembering them about Eva.

"I was never in love with you, Katherine. You compelled me. So none of my feelings were real." Stefan stated to Katherine.

"Believe what you want, Stefan, but I know the truth and deep down, so do you." The older vampire told him and pressed her finger against his chest.

"And you Danielle compelled my brother to love you. His feelings weren't never real too." Stefan said defending his brother.

"Come on, Stefan we know that Damon will always be obsessed with me." Danielle said smirking at him.

"Obsessed he was but now he is different. He is in love with Eva and finally he became the man he was before he meat you two." Stefan said to Danielle and then turned once again to Katherine. "The truth? Well the truth is, you're the same lying, selfish, manipulative bitch that you've always been. So, whatever it is that brought you two here, why don't you just get on with it and leave town? Because if you don't, I will hunt you both down and I will rip yours hearts out." Stefan said with a menacing voice.

"You want to know why I'm here Stefan? I came back for you." Katherine said with a seductive voice.

"And I came back because I can't live my sister alone having all the fun." Danielle said smirking.

"Well the problem, Katherine, is that I hate you. And I hate you too, Danielle." Stefan said and didn't notice, Danielle taking the iron stem from the ground and passing to Katherine.

"You hate me, huh? That sound like the beginning of a love story, Stefan, not the end of one." Katherine said to Stefan stabbing him with the iron stem that Danielle passed her, when she removed the iron, both girls fled from the scene.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Stefan were sitting on a bench on the Lockwood gardens and they were talking while Elena was wiping Stefan's wound with a cloth.

"You gonna be okay?" Elena asked him worried.

"Yeah, it will heal." Stefan said to her about his wound.

"That's not what I meant." Elena said to him hoping for another answer.

"I was trying to figure them out. I was playing along and I let them get to me." Stefan explained to Elena when Damon and Eva arrived that went look for him.

"I tried to track them but they are gone. Oooh, cover up, Fabio." Damon said to Stefan, making his brother pull his shirt down. "We got two crazy exes on the loose." Damon said sarcastically and looked at Elena. "You better watch out, looks like Katherine is trying to steal your guy or maybe not, maybe because Danielle likes to share with Katherine the same men." Damon said sarcastically to Eva.

"Damon, don't start." Eva pleaded to Damon.

"That's not what's happening." Stefan stated to his brother.

"Isn't it? I mean it's only fair since I went after Eva." Damon said to his brother.

"I'm gonna go check on Jenna and Jeremy. Let me know when you guys are done. Can you come with me, Eva?" Elena asked her sister.

"Yeah, sure." Eva agreed and they both left.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena and Eva went look for their aunt and brother. Elena was worried about Stefan because of the hold Katherine had in the past on her boyfriend and Eva was worried about Damon because of the hold that Danielle had on him.

"I'm worried with the boys." Eva said to her sister.

"I'm too." Elena agreed with her sister.

"They have a hold on them. Especially Danielle." Eva said about the vampire.

"I know, sister, I know." Elena nodded her head and then they both went to find their aunt and brother.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

After the girls had left, the Salvatore brother stayed behind to talk about the return of Katherine and Danielle Pierce.

"So what's it gonna be huh? Fight to the death?" Damon asked sarcastically and pretended to punch with his fists as Stefan snorted at his brother. "Go ahead, make your threats, and stake your claim." Damon said once again.

"I'm not gonna fight you." Stefan stated to his brother.

"Why?! I'd fight me." Damon mocked Stefan because, he knew that Stefan was weak from the wound Katherine did on him.

"Katherine and Danielle are gonna try to play us against each other, you do know that right?" Stefan said to him hoping that his brother wouldn't fall again for Danielle's games.

"Brother, don't you worry, our bond is unbreakable." Damon said sarcastically, because their bond was broken a long time ago.

"We need to stay united against her. So yes, as much as I would like to kill you, I'm not gonna fight you." Stefan said to Damon.

"I kissed Eva and then had sex with her." Damon stated the truth.

"Because you feel something for her, because you actually care and I'm not gonna let Danielle come in here and destroy that part of you that is finally, after all of this time, willing to feel something. She will try to break you, she will try to break us and how we respond to that will define us. It's our choice. So no, I'm not gonna fight you." Stefan finished and looked at his brother before leaving.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Gilbert House, John was preparing his luggage to leave the town once again to never come back. His daughter didn't want him, so he only wanted to leave, when Jeremy entered the room.

"Jeremy." John greeted him.

"What are you doing here?" Jeremy asked surprised to see his uncle on the house and not on the hospital.

"I'm packing, leaving." John stated to him.

"So, you figured you'd kill all your evil vampires and then you leave town?" Jeremy asked him sarcastically.

"Not all, but enough. For now. Can you tell Elena and Eva that I said goodbye?" John asked Jeremy.

"Why don't you tell her yourself?" Jeremy asked him.

"You know Jeremy, I was taught to hate them, the vampires. That's what I know; that's what your father knew." John tried to explain to his nephew.

"My father would have seen things differently." Jeremy tried to defend his father.

"No, he may have done things differently but there's no other way to see it." John defended himself once again.

"That ring on your finger, the one's that supposed to protect you, that was my father's right?" Jeremy asked him pointing to the ring.

"Yeah." John nodded at him.

"Then why didn't it protect him, why is he still dead?" Jeremy asked his uncle because he wanted to know why his father was dead.

"What happened to your parents wasn't supernatural, it was an accident. There's nothing that can save us from that." John explained to Jeremy.

"I wonder what he'd think of all this, of me." Jeremy wondered.

"He would think that you're still young. You're still finding yourself but you are a Gilbert and you've been exposed to this town's darkest secret and with that come's the responsibility." John said to him.

"I don't believe in that family legacy stuff." Jeremy said to his uncle.

"Sooner or later you'll have to." John said to him.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Lockwood Mansion, Tyler was still in his father's office hanging around when he picked up a picture of him with his parents and looked at it. Suddenly, he smashed it against the desk, and then he proceeded to break all the other things on the desk. Carol walked in the room in shock because of the noise.

"Tyler! What are you doing?" Carol asked him worried about his behavior.

"I hate him." Tyler said about his father.

"Oh, don't say that, honey." Carol said and gently touched his shoulder to calm her son but Tyler shoved her onto the couch.

"Let go of me!" He screamed at his mother and then Mason entered into the room when he heard Tyler's scream. He pushed his nephew down on the floor. "Get off of me!"

"Hey, Tyler! Hey, hey!" Mason tried to calm his nephew.

"I said get off me!" Tyler screamed once again and started to fight to get Mason off him.

"Tyler!" Mason yelled to his nephew.

"Get off me!" Tyler continued to fight Mason.

"Look at me. Look at me. Calm down. Settle down." Mason said once again and Tyler finally stopped fighting Mason.

"Oh, God." Carol said getting up from the couch in shock.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Salvatore Boarding House, Damon walked into the living room and poured himself a drink, and then he started to walk out but stopped.

"Very brave of you to come here." He said turning around and found Danielle sitting on the couch.

"I wanted to say goodbye." Danielle said to him.

"Leaving so soon?" Damon asked her with curiosity.

"I know where I'm not wanted." Danielle said with a pout.

"Don't pout. It's not attractive on a woman your age." Damon said to her sarcastically.

"Ouch." Danielle said scoffing while watched Damon drinking his bourbon and started to walk out of the room. Danielle using her vampire speed was right in front of him looking at him through her eyelashes. "What, no goodbyes kiss?" Danielle asked him.

"Why don't I kill you instead? What are you doing here?" Damon asked her calmly.

"Nostalgia, curiosity, etc." Danielle lied.

"I'm better at the enigmatic one-liners, Danielle. What are you up to?" Damon asked her once again.

"Trust me Damon, when I'm up to something, you'll know it. Come on. Kiss me. Or kill me. Which will it be, Damon? We both know that you're only capable of one." She said to him and inched closer to his lips. Damon turned and walked away, he was tired of being lied. She rushed in front of him again and grabbed him by the throat and then she pushed him down to the floor and lay on top of him. "My sweet, sweet and so innocent Damon." Danielle said and Damon turned himself on the top of her grabbing her throat just like she did with him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally decided to kiss her. "That's more like it." Danielle commented as they continue to kiss. Danielle, then, pushed Damon against the wall and ripped his shirt open and continued to kiss each other. Damon knocked some books off a nearby table and pushed Danielle down onto the table but then he stopped.

"Okay, wait, brief pause." Damon said with a heavy breathing and Danielle pushed him off her and stood up. "I have a question. Answer it and it's back to fireworks and rockets red glare. Answer it right and I'll forget the last one hundred and forty five years that I've spent missing you. I'll forget how much I loved you, I'll forget everything and we can start over. This could be our defining moment because we have the time. That's the beauty of eternity." He said and gently caressed her face. "I just need the truth, just once." Damon started to tell her.

"Stop. I already know your question and its answer. The truth is... I've never loved you, it was a game. Just to pass time while my sister had her fun with Stefan." Danielle said and took his hands off her face. Then she left a very upset Damon standing there.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Gilbert House, Eva exited her bathroom and went into her bedroom and found that Damon was sitting on her bed. She was startled by his appearance because she didn't know he was coming to talk with her.

"Oh god, you scared me." Eva said when she went closer to him.

"Just doing my part in the neighborhood watch." Damon said with a drunken voice.

"Thanks. For, um, for looking out for us. For me." Eva said to him a little embarrassed after the confession she did earlier.

"That's me, your trusty bodyguard. Calm in crisis." Damon said with the same voice.

"Have you been drinking?" Eva asked him worried. He held his forefinger and thumb a small distance apart, indicating that he has been drinking a little. "And you're upset. That's not a good combination." Eva concluded.

"No, I'm not upset. Upset is an emotion specific to those who care." Damon said with a drunken voice.

"Come on, Damon. That's a lie. You care." Eva stated to him because he knew he couldn't lie to her.

(Damon looks up at her.)

"You're surprised that I wouldn't kiss you back? That I wouldn't want to sleep with you? You can't imagine that I believed that it was you that whole time?" Damon asked her because he wanted to hear that she had feelings for him just like him had for her.

"Damon..." Eva started because she didn't want to talk about that.

"That what we've been doing here means something? You're the liar, Eva. There is something going on between the two of us and you know it." He said and got up to walk towards her. "And you're lying to me, and you're lying to your sister and Stefan, and, most of all, you're lying to yourself. I can prove it." Damon stated.

"No. Not now." Eva said to him. Then Damon grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her. Eva couldn't resist him and started to kiss him back but then stopped. "Damon, wait!" Eva pleaded with him.

"Lie about this." Damon said and kissed her again.

"Stop it! We need to talk about this." Eva pleaded with him.

"That's where you're wrong." Damon said and tried to kiss her again, but Eva was prepared this time and pushed him back.

"Damon, wait. Let me say this please." Eva pleaded to him and grabbed his hands that were on her face but she let them stay there. "I have feelings for you, very strong feelings, I'm not going to lie to you about that and I know that you have feelings for me too but first I want you to figure out what you feel for Danielle and for me because I'm not going to be the second best or a rebound. Do you understand that? I will wait for you here while you figure out that. I will always wait for you." Eva said to him with a sincere voice and looked right into his eyes.

"I understand and thank you for being honest with me." Damon said after seeing the truth on Eva's eyes.

"Come on, lie down on my bed. I'm not gonna let you leave in that state." Eva said pushing her sheets for Damon to get in beside her. "Come on, Salvatore." She said smiling at him while he took off his jacket and boots.

"Thank you, Gilbert." Damon said smiling at her after he lay down beside her.

"Welcome." Eva said to him with a light voice.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Stefan was with Elena, on her bedroom explaining everything that he had heard on the other Gilbert sister. He was worried about his brother because with that he knew that Danielle had done something to him.

"I'm worried about them." Elena said to her boyfriend. "But I believe that Eva is going to help him."

"Me too. I'm afraid that Danielle is going to hurt him more than before." Stefan said to Elena with a worried voice.

"Don't worry." Elena tried to reassure him when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in." She said and then she saw her sister's head on the door.

"Can we talk?" Eva asked them.

"Of course." Elena said and Stefan nodded his head. Then Eva joined them on the room while leaving the door opened to see Damon fast asleep on her bed.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

At the Lockwood Mansion, and still on his father's office, Tyler was sitting on the couch when Mason entered the room and sat down across from him. The younger Lockwood was still in shock after what he did to his mother. He almost had hurt her that night.

"Your mom's out. I think she popped a couple of pharmaceuticals." Mason said to his nephew looking at him.

"I didn't mean to freak her out. I don't know why I get like this." Tyler said with a worried voice.

"It's the curse of being a Lockwood." Mason said to his nephew.

"So how'd you get the chill gene?" Tyler asked him because he didn't want what had happened earlier to happen again.

"I didn't. I've just learned how to manage it." Mason explained to Tyler.

"I don't want to be like this anymore." Tyler said with a resigned voice.

"None of us do. That's why it's a curse, Tyler." Mason said and they continued in silence for some more minutes.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Elena was with her sister talking. She had told Eva what Stefan heard about the conversation with Damon.

"It's Danielle Pierce. She got under his skin. She undid everything that was good about him." The young Salvatore said.

"I know. I bet she said something to him to make him this upset." Eva stated to them.

"We need to do something." Elena stated.

"But what?" Both Eva and Stefan asked her.

~~~Eternal~~~Beginning~~~

Caroline was in a bed, sleeping. She was still on the hospital. Then she woke up and saw Katherine and Danielle.

"Elena? Eva?" Caroline asked them.

"Hey Caroline." Katherine said to the blonde girl.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked them.

"My name is Katherine." Katherine said to her.

"And my name is Danielle." Danielle said to Caroline smirking.

"I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me." Katherine said already with a plan on her head.

"What are you talking about? What message?" Caroline asked them not understanding.

"Game on." Danielle said to her.

"What?" Caroline said not understanding. Danielle grabbed one of Caroline's pillows and pushed it down over her face. Katherine was watching smiling. Their plan was starting to work perfectly. Caroline screamed and started to struggle until she ran out of air and died. Danielle took the pillow off and placed it next to the blonde girl. Then both she and Katherine walked out of the room.

"Our plan is into motion." Danielle smirked at his sister.

"Exactly sister." Katherine agreed and both of them left the hospital.
