"What the hell were you thinking?" yelled Stefan. "You almost died, Elena!"
"Y-you think that I did this on purpose?" The indignation was very clear in her voice
"Of course I do. Why does that surprise you? It's all you've been able to talk about since you found out about the sacrifice. How your very existence is putting everyone in danger. Is it such a leap to think that maybe you tried to do something about it?"
"And that would be a bad thing? Stefan, every moment that I'm alive, the people that I care about are getting closer and closer to getting hurt by Klaus. Why shouldn't I want to save them?"
"You should… Of course you should. But there have to be other ways. Ways that will keep everybody safe. We've managed to get rid of Elijah, even Katherine's not being too much of a pain in the ass at the moment. So there's absolutely nothing to say that we can't kill Klaus. Damon's searching for the witch burial grounds, once we've found them, Bonnie will be strong enough to weaken Klaus and then he's dead." Stefan allowed himself a little smirk, as he visualised what he was going to do with the bastard. He opened his arms in a gesture which called Elena forward into his embrace and kissed the top of her head.
"At the moment" she mumbled, after a few seconds.
"What?" Stefan looked down at her, confused.
"Katherine isn't a problem at the moment" Elena clarified, causing Stefan to laugh.
"You worry way too much" he told her, hoping that he sounded like he believed his own words. "Elena, tell me honestly, did you crash your car on purpose, just now?"
Elena looked up at him, so he could see that she wasn't lying. "No Stefan. It was an accident. I didn't see the other car drive into my lane until it was too late. They didn't have their headlights on and it was pitch black." If she didn't know any better, she'd wonder if they were actually trying to kill her. But that was ridiculous. Why would somebody come after her with a car?
"Okay then, I believe you. But you have to be extra careful from now on. The blood I gave you should keep your unlucky self from minor injuries for a while though, at least".
"Ok" she said pulling away from Stefan and walking into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, down the hall, Jeremy was trying to get some clarification, himself. "Bonnie, you know how to kill Klaus? How?"
"Short version?" she asks, and Jeremy nods. "Well, I know that a few hundred years ago, one hundred witches were burned at the stake, somewhere near by. On it's own that information is very sad, but not very helpful. However, I read in Emily's grimoire, that when a witch dies like that, they leave a powerful mark upon that place… sort of residual magic. Now there were a hundred of them, so that's a lot of magic, just waiting for someone to come along and tap into it. So if we can find the site, I can channel the energy and use the spell that Dr Martin gave me, to kill Klaus… Or at least weaken him enough that he can be killed"
"That was the short version?" Jeremy asked with a grin.
"Shut up" Bonnie rolls her eyes, before stretching up to kiss her boyfriend.
