"You lead" Matt says as April smiles and nods. The girls and their escorts bow to each other and begin the dance. Damon watches them for a moment then looks over at Elena. Elena is still looking around for Jeremy. Elena catches Damon looking at her and she smiles. Damon looks back and watches the dance.

Elena stares at him for a moment longer and then walks out of the crowd. Caroline quickly walks down the steps and over to Elena, who is on her phone. "Hey, what's with the last minute escort change? Where is Jeremy?"

"I'm calling him right now" Elena says as she dials Jeremys number into her key pad.

Damon walks up to them with Brie right in his tracks.

Elena shakes her head and switches her phone off "He's not picking up. Matt said that Jeremy's been having nightmares about killing vampires and he's been hiding it from me"

Caroline and Brie look surprised and worried while Damon shrugs it off. "Relax, I'm sure he's fine"

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling" Elena says looking down at her phone, to see if Jeremy has answered her message.

" If I'm not worried, you shouldn't be worried. Let it go. I'll go look for him" Damon walks away.

Brie watches Damon walk away and turns her attention to Elena "Okay, you go home, I'm gonna start asking around here"

"Maybe Damon's right. Maybe he grabbed a bottle from the bar and snuck off to the woods"

Caroline intervenes "No, Damon is never right. Damon is sneaky and manipulative and rude, but he's never right. How can you not see that?"

Elena looks at her "I don't know, but why do I think that you won't hesitate to tell me?"

Caroline sighs "Fine, friend-tervention. I think your so-called "feelings" for Damon are really starting to cloud your judgment and I don't like it" Tyler walks over to them and stands next to Caroline.

Brie see's that the two girls are getting angrier with each other by the second "Okay Care that's enough" she says trying to settle Caroline down but didn't look like it worked.

Caroline ignores her and rattles on "And the thought of you two together really makes me want to barf"

"Babe you're making a scene" Tyler says putting his hand on her back to try comfort her.

Elena couldn't believe what Caroline was saying " Wow, Caroline, thank you for making this very difficult time so much easier"Elena walks away.

Caroline stands there with a blank look on her face "How did I become the bad guy?

Tyler moves from standing next to her to standing in front of her. "Come on, lets get you a drink" Tyler steps out the way to let Caroline go first and they both head to the drinks table.

After her two best friends were at each others throats, Brie is walking next to the pond on the Lockwood property. Elijah was over in the garden talking to Major Lockwood and looks over and notices Brie by herself and see's shes in need of company. He thought she looked exquisite and had been admiring her the day she came to Mystic Falls. He walks up to drinks table and grabs two glasses and a bottle of champagne and walks over to her.

"Looks like something is troubling you, would you like talk about it" Elijah asks as he offers her a glass of champagne.

Brie takes the glass and thanks him as she takes a sip and looks over at the view "So your heard huh?" She asks as she looks at him. He was dressed in his normal attire, black suit, shirt and tie. She had to admit he was looking good. He always looks good she thought. What was she saying? He's an original, he much older than she was. He gives her a look as to say everyone heard and she sighs It's just Caroline and the Elena situation, they aren't on the greatest of terms right now but hopefully it will blow over soon as everything usually does"

"Do you want to fill me in? Maybe I can offer a hand? If you want to?"

Brie takes another sip of her glass before she starts explaining the situation "Well as her best friend Caroline thinks its her duty to warn Elena when she's making a giant mistake and now she thinks Elena is taking Damon's side on everything"

Elijah raises his eyebrow and wonders "So, being a vampire's changed her?"

"Well I didn't really know as a human" a statement you don't usually say or hear she thought " But being a vampire only amplifies who you already are. It doesn't turn you into a completely different person"

"It's very peculiar" Elijah smirks and looks as if he knows something she doesn't.

Brie looks at him "What's that look for?"

"It'll all make sense eventually"

Brie rolls her eyes "Whatever, Klaus better just hurry up and find the cure" Brie sits down on a stone bench by the pond. Elijah places the champagne down next to her and looks at her

"He's working on it. Elijah sits next to her and starts to open the champagne bottle

"Would you ever take it?" Brie wondered as she looked at him.

"Now, why would I want to cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet?" He questioned

Brie moved turning her body towards him "So there's not one single moment in your whole life that you wanted to be human?"

Elijah looks at her and pours more champagne into her glass and then his. He avoids the question. "How about you?"

Across the lawn, Stefan is walking past and sees Brie and Elijah sitting together and drinking champagne. He listens into their conversation and hears them laughing together.

"I do miss being human, being normal. It will always be apart of my life but this is my life now, being a vampire. Would I go take the cure and go back to being a human? Maybe"

"You sound like you have second thoughts of being a vampire"

"Well it wasn't exactly my choice in the matter but at least I wont age and look old" Brie joked as Elijah smirked at the ground and then looked at her, he loved her smile. He could watch her smile and laugh forever. He wanted to make her happy.

"Definite perks of being a vampire"

"You look good though, don't look a day over 1,000" she complimented as she nudged his shoulder in a playful way.

"I will take that as a compliment, Miss Colace"

Brie smiles and moves closer to him, he could smell her scent "Good cause it was one" she said as she moved back to her original position and sipped her last mouth full of her champagne.

Kol watches them from a distance and sips his champagne as he looks on at his oldest brother enjoying his time with the newborn vampire. Klaus notices Kol looking at something very closely and walks over to see what is intriguing his younger sibling "Kol what are you doing?" Klaus asks as Kol doesn't answer him and is still looking over. Klaus looks over in the direction of his brother was looking at and see's Elijah and Brianna over by the pond talking and smiling which he thought was weird as his eldest sibling never smiles, he is always broody.

"What do you think is going on there?" Kol wonders, interrupting Klaus's thoughts.

"We shall find out" Klaus smirks and takes a full mouthful of his bourbon as he watches on.

As the night falls, Brie is at home about to get ready for bed as she gets a phone call from Stefan "Hey, missed you today"

"Are you about?" Stefan asks as he is sitting in the boarding house.

Brie becomes concerned "Yeah I'm in my house, how whats wrong?"

"Can I come over?" Stefan asks, hoping she says yes.

Brie looks at the time and sighs "Stefan its getting really late, can it wait?"

"No not really, but I guess if you don't want to see me"

Brie suddenly started feeling guilty "Okay Stefan but not for long though, its been a really long day and I am really just needing my bed"

Stefan nodded his head "Be round in a few" he said before hanging up.

Brie sighed as she began to unzip her dress and climb out of it and walks over to her chest of draws to grabs her the first pair of pj's she seen. After she got changed she hung her dress in her wardrobe before going into the bathroom and starts brushing her teeth. But the time she was done, Stefan had already let himself in.

Stefan pours a shot for himself and Brie as she walks down the stairs "Seen you let yourself in?" She asked as Stefan handed her the glass, she takes it and leads him into the living room.

They are sat in the living room, talking to one another. "Elena's right. I just need to let go"

'here we go again' Brie thought, she couldn't be bothered talking about Elena again tonight especially when she was tired as basically the full day was the talk to Elena "No, you're right, Stefan. It's not pretty and it's not easy, but you can't give up on her"

Stefan looks up at her "Brie, she looked me in the eye and she told me to move on"

Brie sighs "She's lost. Okay, you and her, epic. Her and Damon, ugh, God. There's something wrong with her. Just promise me you won't stop looking for the cure"

"Klaus won't let me even if I wanted to" Stefan places his shot glass down and pours himself another one.

"Why does he care? He doesn't even want it" Brie wondered as to why the original hybrid was so interested into finding the cure.

"He wants to keep Elena human so that he can make more hybrids" Stefan shrugged as he went to get another shot.

Brie sits back into her chair and relaxes and then suddenly Brie looks as if she just realised something "Oh my God" Stefan looks up at her, confused "Oh. My. God" Stefan holds his arms out in a gesture for her to explain what she means.

Brie stands up, still shocked by the discovery she has figured out. "I was trying to understand why Elijah was so intrigued by Damon and Elena. He said I would figure it out. This is what he was talking about"

Stefan was still not catching on "What are you talking about?"

"Think about it. Every time Elena's had a problem, Damon's been the magic solution. Today Elena was worried about Jeremy. Who swoops in and tells her to relax? Damon. And she listens" Stefan still looks confused "When Elena started feeding, who said that she could only drink blood straight from the vein?"

Stefan seems to be realising what Brie is getting at "Damon"

"And when she tried to drink from animals?"

"Name one vampire in the history of vampires who couldn't drink blood from a blood bag. Damon said she couldn't, so she couldn't. What if it's possible? Damon's blood made her a vampire, right?" Stefan looks up at her " It's rare, but it happens. What if this is one of those times?"

Brie sits back down. "What if this is really happening?"

Stefan leans forward "Elena's sired to Damon"

In the Mikaelson Mansion, Elijah was in the front room reading through his mothers grimoire as Klaus walks in the door and looks at elijah with a sly smile on his face and goes over to the bourbon table and pours a shot into a glass before taking a sip.

"Your starting earlier, aren't you not" Elijah questioned as he was flicking through the pages.

Klaus smiles and turns around "Keeping tabs on me, are we elijah"

"Whatever you get up to Niklaus, it wont concern me"

"You sure about that? You know Brianna was looking exquisite last night. Mm she looked delicious" Klaus said, knowing him mentioning Brianna to Elijah, would get a rise.

Elijah tuts and slowly shuts the grimoire and puts it down on the table "Whatever your thinking about Niklaus, don't. I don't want you harming her"

"Elijah, you think so badly of me. Do you really think I would do that?" He questioned, Elijah was about to answer but interrupted him "I was merely thinking about approaching her, asking her out for a drink. Get drunk and maybe do some very naughty things" Klaus joked as Elijah threw him against the wall. Elijah brushed down on his suit and lifted his finger.

"Niklaus, I will tell you once, and only once, you wont go near Brianna and if you do then you'll have me to deal with"

Klaus laughed at his brother being serious "Elijah take a joke mate, oh your getting very boring now, live a little" Klaus walks closer to Elijah "Only live once right" Klaus laughs as he walks out the room.

"This is a disaster! What if Caroline finds out? She'll go mental" Brie exclaimed.

"Look, we don't know anything for sure" Stefan said trying to calm Brie down.

"Yes we do! Elena is sired to Damon! Which means her one singular burning desire is to make him happy, just like Klaus and his hybrids!"

Stefan shakes his head "No it's not. A vampire sired to another vampire is one in a million. Maybe it won't affect her the same way"

"We already know it's affecting her. She's become Damon's lapdog" Stefan looks at her "It's true! Everything he says, she agrees with. Everything he asks her to do...she does"

Brie pulls her phone out and is ready to call Elena"

"Wait what are you doing?" Stefan asks as he's confused on what she is doing.

"Calling Elena" Brie said as she starts dialling Elena's number.

"Wait, no, hold on Brie "He stops her from calling her "This isn't gossip. You can't just drop this on her before we know what's happening for sure"

"I need to talk to Elijah. Maybe he'll know what to do"

"Why Elijah?" Stefan questions as he raises his eyebrow as he found it weird that Brie wants to speak to Elijah.

"He has experience maybe he's been through this before? I dunno" Brie said trying to make an excuse.

But looked like Stefan bought it "All right talk to Elijah but please don't tell anyone else. If this is true, then it may have influence on Elena's every action and emotion since she became a vampire"

"You've got my word Stefan" Brie looks outside and see that the sun is rising and rolls her eyes "Great, time for school" Brie says sarcastically and groans and stands up and makes her way upstairs to get ready for school.

As she makes her way to school, Brie see's Elena walking out of the boarding house, and see's Damon appearing at door and hides behind a bush and watches on making sure they don't see her. Elena gets closer to Damon and starts kissing him. Brie opens her mouth in an o shape as she looks on gobsmacked at whats happening in front of her. She overhears Elena saying see you later to Damon and gets into her car and drives off. Brie watches Elena drive off before vamp speeding in-front of Damon. Damon stands there, waiting to hear what Brie has to say "Listen, we need to talk"

Sometime later, Brie has told Damon everything about what her and Stefan have discovered about the sire bond. They sit down on the couch facing each other" "Sired? Really Brie? That is the most pathetic nonsense I've ever heard come out of your mouth, and you've said some crap in your day"

Brie rolls her eyes, it was like speaking to a brick wall, Damon wasn't the brightest of them all "It was your blood that turned her, right? I mean, she's been different from day one because of you. You can't deny that"

"Sure I can. I finally got Elena to a good place about being a vampire. You two idiots can't stand that she's happy because of me"

Brie sits back and relaxes "All right. You know what? Prove me wrong. Tell her it's OK to drink from a blood bag"

"She can't. Her weird doppelgänger body rejected the blood from the bag"

"Right, because you told her to. You said she had to drink warm human blood straight from the vein. She almost died to make you happy" From the look on Damon's face, he clearly doesn't believe in what Brie is saying "Look, just ask her to drink from a blood bag. Make sure you'll tell her how happy you'll be if it works, and if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologise"

"When her body rejects this blood, which it will, your apology better be epic" Brie rolls her eyes as Damon gets up and walks away.

At school, Elena is walking down the hallway as Brie and Caroline are at their lockers and see Elena approaching "So, girls' night? We can raid the Salvatore wine cellar"

Brie looks uncomfortable "Um, are you sure that Stefan and Damon are cool with us crashing at their place?"

Elena catches sight of Damon walking in the school, him motioning for her to talk to him "I can't go home because my brother is trying to kill me. So their place is mine now, too. I'll see you in a bit" Elena walks away to meet Damon with Caroline and Brie looking on. A moment later, Damon and Elena are alone in an empty classroom "You being here makes your selfish, secret day a little difficult, don't you think?"

Elena and Damon have their arms around one another and Damon pulls away and takes out a blood bag "Forgot your lunch"

Elena backs off a-bit "I can't. You know I can't"

"Well, last time you tried it, the circumstances were less optimal and I think maybe you should just give it another try, see if it works. I really think it will" Elena looks at Damon "Please for me?"

Damon hands Elena the blood bag and she rips the top open, putting it in her mouth. She takes a cautionary drink. Damon looks at her while she drinks it with concern. Elena takes it from her mouth, pauses, then drinks some more "Are you okay?"

She takes it out her mouth. "Mm, I'm fine. It tastes like blood. Last time, it was like hot garbage" She puts it back into her mouth and continues to drink"

"You sure you're okay?"

She nods and pulls the blood bag out of her mouth "I'm better than OK. I mean, maybe last time, it was a bad batch or something. I can't believe this, Damon. I don't have to hurt people anymore" She smiles, while Damon's face is hard. She throws her arms around Damon and hugs him. She pulls away" I have to get to class. Thank you. She kisses Damon before leaving for class.

Elena, Caroline, and Brie are partying. They are dancing and drinking while Caroline is capturing it all on her phone. Elena pours another glass of champagne for herself, but realises the bottle is empty. Elena uses her super speed and goes into the dining room, stands on the table, and grabs another bottle of champagne. Caroline and Brie cheer for her as she super speeds back into the room and pops the cork off the new champagne bottle. She pours herself another glass and the girls all hug each other and fall on the couch.

Upstairs, the girls have made their way into Damon's bathroom. Elena is lying in the empty tub and Brie and Caroline are sitting next to her. The three of them are giggling and having a great time.

"Check this out: Vamp-speed video" Caroline hands Elena her phone and Elena plays the video.

Elena starts laughing "I look like Superman. Watch this" She pauses the video at the point where she is super-speeding back into the room. The capture shows a giant blur behind her due to the speed at which she is running. She shows it to Brie and Caroline. "This year's Christmas card" They all laugh apart from Brie "Being a vampire is so weird. Oh my God, I love this bathtub. Why don't we come and hang out here more often?"

" I'll tell you why. Cooties. Think of all the germ-ridden skanks that Damon has lured into his den of enequity" Caroline giggles. Elena sits up in the bath tub and does not look amused by Caroline's attempt at a joke. "Okay, I'm sorry. I've been good all night. I am stopping now"

"No, don't stop on my account. Rip away. I mean, it's only Damon, right?" Elena said sarcastically.

"Well, say what you want about Ripper Stefan, but at least he wasn't a man slut"

" So, what exactly was it about him that made you jump right into bed with him as soon as you met him?"

Both Brie and Caroline looked shocked at Elena's comment "I didn't know what a sociopathic narcissist he was"

"He's always been there for me when I needed him" Elena says almost bragging.

"Yeah, because he's hoping you'll sleep with him"

"Well, maybe I did" Caroline and Brie look at her in shock.

"You did what?!" Caroline exclaimed.

"You didn't" Brie said but really she was thinking 'of course you did'

Elena nods "Yeah, I did. Look, I know you two have issues with him, but I'm happy, and I wanted to spend tonight with my best friends so that I could tell them about it" Elena gets up from the bathtub and walks away, leaving Caroline still in shock.

Elena went downstairs and started cleaning up the mess from the party in the parlor. Brie and Caroline come downstairs to talk to her "Party is over. You guys need to leave"

"Don't be mad, okay? We're just looking out for you"

Elena finally turns around and looks at them "Do you think it makes me happy that you guys hate him? I get it. His track record has been kind of spotty but I don't hate him. I can't. He's - I think I'm falling in love with him"

Brie had enough of this and opened her mouth "Ugh, you're not falling in love with him, Elena. You're sired to him" Caroline and Elena look at her in shock. Brie knows she shouldn't have revealed this and looks slightly ashamed when really she shouldn't be.

"What?" Caroline said still in shock.

"What are you talking about?" Elena asked looking confused.

Brie walks down the steps towards Elena. "Look, I'm sorry that it came out like that, but it's true. Damon's blood turned you. You couldn't feed from animals or blood bags because he told you so. Then he suggested that you try again with blood bags and suddenly.."

Elena interrupts her "No. There's no way, I..."

Caroline looks at Brie "Are you sure?"

Brie nods "Yeah. Ask Stefan about it. He can explain it better than I can"

Elena starts getting angry "I'm sorry, you talked to Stefan about this?"

"It's not your fault, Elena. Okay, Damon took advantage of you"

"Okay, you need to leave" Elena said getting angry. "Now!"

Elena strides past Caroline and Brie and walks to the front door

"I said leave"Elena opens the front door and looks at Caroline and Brie. Out on the porch are Adrian and Kimberley.

"Hello girls" Elena turns and looks at her. Kimberley rushes into the house and knocks Elena into the wall. She then rushes at Brie and grabs her by the throat. Adrian rushes in and grabs Elena who fights back and pushes him against another wall. Adrian gets the upper-hand eventually and slams Elena into the wall. Both of them have their hands wrapped around the others' throat.

Adrian throws Elena to the floor. Caroline helps Elena to get up. When they turn around, they see that Kimberley and Adrian have gone, but that Brie has been kidnapped as well.

"Brie" Caroline and Elena look out the front door and start to worry about Brie's whereabouts.
