Only a few hours had passed since the wedding from hell had shattered the beloved supernatural community of Mystic Falls. Elena Gilbert lay in her coffin, a real life sleeping beauty. Damon lay on his bed in an almost permanently inebriated state. Jo, her unborn twins, and Liv were dead, along with their whole coven. Things couldn't possibly get worse, or so they thought.
"Guys, we have a serious problem. Lily Salvatore found the rest of the heretics," Bonnie exclaimed into the phone. Caroline and Stefan sprang up from their respective spots on the couch.
"How?" Stefan asked through gritted teeth.
"Enzo," was Bonnie's reply. Caroline's jaw dropped. She knew Enzo was horrible, but she didn't realize just how horrible.
"Bonnie, where are you? Get over here, I don't like the thought of you out there alone." Caroline said worriedly. There had been too many losses already.
"Relax, I'm with Matt, and we're almost there." Bonnies reassured her, "I'll see you in a bit."
Caroline looked Stefan.
"We're gonna need some more scotch," was all Stefan could manage to say.
"Alright what's the plan?" Matt asked as he and Bonnie pushed through the entry of the Salvatore Boarding House.
"As of now, we've got nothing," Stefan said, a bottle of scotch in tow.
"Okay well, the one thing that could stop Kai was Tyler's bite," Bonnes said quickly.
"Wait, Tyler's bite? He transformed?" Caroline asked.
"Apparently. I think our only option is-"
"Werewolves," Damon finished.
"Damon, so nice of you to join us," Stefan said curtly.
"Talk to me when the love of your life is basically gone for 80 or so years, brother," Damon frowned.
"Guys, not the time. What are we going to do? Tyler's gone, so I mean the only other option," Bonnie trailed off.
"Our only option is what?" Caroline asked?
"New Orleans. Klaus and Hayley could be of some use," Damon explained. Stefan's eyes shot up to glance at Caroline, who remained frozen in place. There was a long pregnant pause.
"What makes you think they'll help us?" Caroline asked quietly.
"Easy, blondie. Klaus will do anything for you. He's basically in love with you, and Hayley will have to do whatever he tells her to do," Damon smirked. Stefan's face darkened at that thought.
"Brother, you and Blondie can deal with your relationship issues later, because if we don't do something now, there may not be a 'later.'"
Stefan knew he was right, but he didn't want to think about how seeing Klaus would affect his own relationship with Caroline. He wasn't sure how much good his telling Caroline he'd wait for her would do anymore. At least, not when the Original Hybrid gets thrown into the mix.
"So who's driving?" Damon asked.
