Damon noticed the news was reporting on Trent's death. He realized he probably should have done something about that body, even there were no actual signs of foul play. The news was calling it an accident/suicide. He never really liked that guy anyway.

"So, are you going to be living here again now?" He asked. "Because if you are, we'll need a new deed. The old one expired when you died."

"I don't want to give up on her." Elena said.

"Well she wants you to give up on her. I think the message that she sent by killing your boyfriend was pretty clear." Damon stated. "If you really want to talk to someone about it, talk to Stefan."

Elena sighed and went home. She decided that she would talk to another vampire who might have a solution, who also happened to be off work, which was easy to spot because she was wearing her usual all-black ensemble.

"So I heard Jill did a number on your boyfriend." Anna replied.

"I need your help." Elena admitted. "I know that she still has her humanity, even though she's hiding it well. You've been around for a while. Have you ever seen a situation like the one that Jill is going through right now before?"

"She's married to an Original vampire." Anna pointed out. "That pretty much makes her an Original."

"What do you mean?" Elena questioned.

"I mean that when an Original is married, their spouse gains extra powers through a special ceremony. They can't be compelled except by the Original that they are married to and can compel other vampires." Anna explained. "I also think I know what their after."

"What?" Elena asked.

"Elijah told you that Klaus wants to create his own race. So he's looking for werewolves to turn into hybrids." Anna replied.

Jill walked through the Smoky Mountains with Rebekah and Klaus, carrying an unconscious Ray in her arms.

"I'm sorry that you have to have another man in your arms, Love, but we cannot leave him." Klaus told her.

"You know he's gotten closer to her than you have, Nik." Rebekah quipped. Jill couldn't help but smile, though Klaus didn't see the amusement.

"So are you sure that you can even make more hybrids?" Jill asked him. "I mean if we've been hunting them all summer and it doesn't even work, I will not be happy you waited my time."

"Don't worry about that, Love." He told her. "I created one in the past though Mum and Dad had a fit and had her killed before I was cursed. And now I'm going to have a whole pack under my control."

The trio then found a campsite, with a bunch of campers

"Here's a tip." Rebekah told her. "Don't let them bite you. It won't kill you, but you'll still feel all of the other symptoms."

"Can I help you?" One of the werewolves said as he walked toward them. Jill put Ray down on the ground.

"Ray!" One of the females replied as she looked as her packmate's body. She then looked at Jill. "Who are you?"

"The important question, my dear, is 'Who am I?'." Klaus stated. Jill felt kind of annoyed at how he addressed her like that. "Please forgive my intrusion. My name is Klaus. This is my wife Jillian and my sister Rebekah."

"You're the hybrid." The female wolf said in fear.

"You've heard of me." He declared. "Well that definitely makes things earlier."

Mayor Lockwood was busy drinking some tea and cleaning up after the previous night. She has a special plan for Caroline that didn't involve killing her. She put the remnants of the vervain dart into the coffee.

"Hey Mom." Tyler told her as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning, Sweetie." She told him. "The coffee's hot."

"Rough night?" Tyler asked as he noticed her uneasy demeanor.

"Rough week, I'm a little stressed." She responded. "What about you?"

"I feel pretty good." He told her.

"You know if you're going to bring a girl home, I wish she'd have the tact not to sneak out like a prostitute." She told her son with her arms crossed.

"I'm sorry." He apologized. "But I really can't believe that she snuck out. Wow I think there's something wrong with this coffee. By the way, Caroline is not a prostitute."

He left and then she called someone named Bill telling that he needed her help.

Anna walked into the Grill and found Diana working the floor.

"I thought you were off today." Diana said to her.

"I am, but I kind of need your help for something." Anna replied.

"Can it wait until I'm on my break?" Diana asked the vampire as she went over to her table with food.

So on her break, Diana met Anna and also Elena out back.

"What's going on?" Diana questioned.

"I need you to do a locator spell." Elena said.

"I don't know if I can do a locator spell." Diana challenged. "I've never been very good at solo magic. The last time I tried to even light a fire, I lit boyfriend on fire."

"What do you mean solo magic?" Elena questioned.

"Some witches are born into circles." Anna told her. "Most of the time, their magic is hampered by such, especially if the circle is bound. Diana, however, can use dark magic, which doesn't require channeling, but is very dangerous if uncontrolled as noted by the dead boyfriend."

"I really haven't done much magic since my dark magic was unlocked." Diana stated. "What kind of locator spell do you need?"

"I need one to see if there are any werewolf colonies outside in Tennessee." Elena told her.

"I'll see if I can find one. I can call my circle." Diana told them.

Suddenly, Tyler walked over to them.

"Have either of you seen Caroline today?" He asked them.

"I thought she left the party with you last night." Anna remarked.

"She did, but she left last night and now I can't find her." Tyler explained.

"Well I haven't seen her." Anna responded. Elena also shook her head.

"Don't look at me, I don't even know who she is." Diana stated. "I should get back to work. I'll try to get the spell as soon as possible."

"What spell?" Tyler asked curiously.

"I want to see if there are any werewolf packs in Tennessee." Elena told him.

"You don't need a spell for that." Tyler denounced as Diana walked back inside. "Mason took me to one in the Smoky Mountains last year."

"Can you take me there?" She asked him.

"I need to remind you that I attacked both Jill and Stefan. If she's there, I don't think I'm someone that she wants to see right now." Tyler replied. "Plus, it's a full moon and I have to lock myself up for the night."

He showed her where it was on a map and Elena looked over at Anna.

"You are not Katherine." Anna declared as she shook her head. "You can't make me go."

Elena reached into her pocket and stuck a vervain dart into Anna, before she took the vampire out to her car.

Back in the camp, Klaus was sitting with Rebekah and Jill by his side while all of the wolves were standing.

"You know it's quite fascinating." Klaus stated. "I'm a werewolf whose transformation isn't restricted by the moon and a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun."

At that time, Ray came back to life.

"Finally." Rebekah stated. "I hate carrying around dead weight."

"Do we have any humans here?" Jill asked. "Ray needs human blood or he will die."

"Do we have anyone?" Klaus replied. "A boyfriend, a girlfriend, even someone who has the gene but has yet to kill anyone will do. He just needs a sip. The clock is ticking."

Klaus then noticed one of them. One of the men was human.

"Here we go." The hybrid remarked as he bit into the man's arm and then forced it Ray's mouth.

The female charged at him. Klaus grabbed her by the heart.

"It's the new order sweetheart." He told her. "You either join us or you die."

"I'd rather die than be a vampire." She boasted.

"Sorry you don't have that option." Klaus told her as he fed his blood into his mouth before he killed her. He looked to the crowd. "Do we have any volunteers?"

Mayor Lockwood opened her door as the bell rang. A man in his late 40s walked inside.

"Does anyone know that you're here, Bill?" She asked him.

"No, not even David." Bill replied. "What's the problem?"

"Can I offer you a drink?" She asked.

"Carol, what's the problem. I don't know if you've heard but there was a huge a vampire attack in Memphis." Bill told her. "What am I here to do?"

"It's Caroline, Bill." Carol relented. "I've known her for her whole life. I don't know what to do."

"What does the rest of the council know?" Bill questioned.

"I haven't told anyone, not even Liz." Carol explained. "I don't know what to do."

"She's a vampire, Carol." Bill pointed out. "We will do what we have to do."

In the Smoky Mountains, Anna found herself hiking with Elena. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to leave the human alone, she wouldn't be there.

"I seriously need to become immune to vervain like Katherine did." The Goth complained. "By the way, we need to get out of here in a few hours before the full moon. I'm already risking my life coming here and I don't want to add werewolves to the picture."

Elena began to take her jacket off, when suddenly she was pushed into the water by Damon.

"How did you know where to find me?" Elena asked in disbelief.

"Ric told me you were coming here." He replied before he looked over to Anna. "I also want to point out that kidnapping is not nice."

In the campsite, Klaus had finished feeding his blood to all of the wolves. He also healed the human so his blood could still be used. Ray seemed to be in shock.

"He doesn't look so good." Jill commented.

"He's through his transition." Klaus replied. "He should be better soon."

"So what's the point of building a pack of hybrid slaves?" Jill asked.

"Not slaves, soldiers, militia, et cetera." Klaus answered. "I'm building an army."

"For what war?" She then questioned.

"My brother believes that by having an army, no one will ever declare war." Rebekah stated.

"Like the British used to have." Klaus added.

"Except the British tried to fight the colonists while also fighting the French." Jill pointed out. "When the French sent troops to America, they didn't stand a chance."

"True, but I don't plan on fighting that way." Klaus pointed out. "Besides, the sooner this is done, the sooner we can have some alone time."

"Your hybrid looks sick." Rebekah pointed out as Klaus then noticed that Ray was acting like he was having a seizure.

"Something's wrong." Klaus told them. Ray was bleeding from his eyes.

"What happened when the made the other hybrid?" Jill asked.

"Not this." He told her.

Across the woods, Elena was still in the water.

"Get out of the water." Damon ordered.

"If I get out, you're going to make me go home." Elena argued.

"I am going to make you go home because you're being really stupid." Damon responded.

"Get a room, you two." Anna chimed in.

"You've given up on her." Elena replied, ignoring the female vampire.

"I've faced reality." Damon said. "She doesn't want to be rescued. Now get out of the water."

"No!" Elena replied adamantly.

"Wait are you trying to accomplish, Elena?" Damon asked as he stepped in the water. "You're really going to go to a campsite full of werewolves where your sister might not even be, and if she is, she'll probably be with uber-powerful husband? He already killed you once. Do you want him to do it again?"

"I want to help her." Elena said as he stood in front of her.

"Klaus thinks you're dead." Damon pointed. "That means we don't have to worry about him in Mystic Falls. Now you need to go back there and wait till Thanksgiving to see if Jill shows up."

"I'm not leaving without her." Elena repeated.

"You know I am really getting tired of you constantly trying to get yourself killed." Damon remarked. "When are you going to grow up and learn that you can't save everyone?"

"I want to try one last time." Elena said.

"You can come out now, Stefan." Damon told his brother. Elena was a little shocked to see him.

"Can I go home now?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, we've got it from here." Damon responded as Stefan handed the keys.

Ray continued to show signs of severe sickness.

"Why doesn't this feel better?" Ray asked.

The girl then woke up and Klaus prepared to her for turning when Ray ran off.

"Please retrieve him." He told Jill and Rebekah. Jill sighed and went after him. Playing babysitter to a hybrid was not something that she signed up for.

Ray tried to bite her, but she managed to know him against a tree first and he ran off again. It was then that she heard the Salvatores and Elena talking. She really hoped that they would have heeded her warning.

"Where did he go?" Rebekah asked.

"He got away." Jill stated.

"Well we have to find him." Rebekah told her. "Nik doesn't want any of his hybrids escaping."

The mayor was in her home when Tyler walked in. He did not look happy.

"Why did you put vervain in my coffee?" Tyler asked.

"Vervain?" She asked. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Let's skip the part where we pretend I don't know that vampires exist." Tyler told her. "Did you think I was a vampire?"

"You've been spending so much time with Caroline." The mayor replied. "I had to know."

"What does Caroline have to do with it?" Tyler asked.

"Let's skip the part where we pretend I don't know that she's a vampire." She replied.

"Where is she, Mom?" He asked angrily as he walked closer to her. "Where is she?"

"You can't be with her!" She declared. "I won't let you. She's a monster."

"No she's not, Mom." He argued. "So it's okay for to be a werewolf, but not her to be a vampire?"

"Vampires and werewolves are natural enemies." Carol told him.

In the mountains, Stefan was the first to speak.

"We have about a mile." He told Damon and Elena.

"Sun's about to set." Damon added.

"I can see that." Elena replied. "We still have time before the moon reaches its apex."

Then Ray suddenly appeared and attacked them. Elena threw a vervain grenade that stole from Ric at them. Since Stefan and Damon had been drinking it, it didn't affect them as much.

"This looks like a hybrid." Damon remarked.

At the Grille, Diana was still working when she went over to Ric at the bar.

"So you have to let me get you some food." She told him. "So you're the history teacher, aren't you?"

"Yeah…and the hunter." Ric slurred. "Get me some fries."

"Right, I've heard about that." Diana replied. "So what happened to make you drink like this?"

"Wife died, girlfriend died. Take your pick." Ric told her. "Why do you care?"

"Because you remind me a lot of my friend's dad." She admitted. "I can tell you that no amount of alcohol will make you feel better in the long run. It's fun every once in a while, but not as a daily thing."

"Thanks for the advice, but I really don't think it will help." He admitted.

Stefan and Damon were busy chaining Ray to a tree.

"Oh Ray…" They heard Rebekah call into the woods. "Where are you?"

"We don't want to hurt you." Jill added.

Elena froze, before she realized that Ray was starting to turn into a wolf.

They began to run, before Elena tripped and then found herself face to face with a wolf.

Damon decided to lead him away and it worked.

"We need to run." Stefan told her.

"We can't leave him." Elena replied.

"Right now, I need to keep you safe." Stefan replied. "Once I get you to the car, I'll come back for him."

The wolf had changed back into Ray and Damon started to grapple with him. Ray got closer to biting him when he fell to the ground, suddenly. Jill had ripped his heart like you would any regular werewolf. Rebekah was standing beside her.

"I said to leave me alone, Damon." Jill remarked as she threw the heart to the ground.

"Shall I deal with him?" Rebekah asked.

"No, go back." Jill told her. "I want a moment alone with him."

Rebekah ran off back to the campsite.

"Is that your new best friend?" Damon inquired.

"Get out of here now." Jill ordered.

"You may want to take that up with your sister." Damon replied.

"I'm not coming back." She stated. "Do you know what happens to those who betray Klaus?"

"Don't they usually end up dead?" Damon asked.

"Well normally." Jill answered. "Except in my case, I can't die. So I would end up in a box with a dagger in my heart."

"She's not going to give up on you." Damon replied.

"She has to." Jill explained. "It's for her own good. I've never coming back. Get her home and make sure she stays there."

At the Grille, Anna had returned and noticed Ric was drunk.

"I need to find my keys." He stated.

"There is no way I'm letting you drive home." Diana told him. She reached into his pocket and pulled his keys over to her.

"That's impressive." Anna commented.

"It's just simple magic." Diana argued.

"Well I can take him home." Anna volunteered. "We live in the same place. You know the Salvatores are the ones who own a boarding house and it's Elena that takes in houseguests."

Jill carried Ray's body back and she found Klaus crying over the dead hybrids.

"They went rabid." He explained. "Some of them I killed, some Rebekah did, and the rest just bled out. I don't know what I did wrong."

Jill actually felt sorry for him. She went over to him and gave him a hug.

"I should able to turn them." Klaus remarked. "It worked before. I killed the vampire. I killed the werewolf. I killed the doppelganger. It should have worked."

"Perhaps there was something in the curse to prevent you from making hybrids." Rebekah suggested.

"Well right now, I'm glad that I have the two of you." He remarked. "I know I'm not the perfect person but I am thankful for your companionship. We're leaving."

Elena walked into her room to get ready for bed, only to find Damon there.

"Seriously?" She asked.

"I was wrong." He stated. "She is still in there. I know because she saved me. She's only doing this because she has to. We need to find a way to stop Klaus."

"Damon you could have died out there." She told him.

"I went out there because I loved you." Damon replied. "I still love you, even if you don't love me."

"Damon, I never stopped loving you. It's just so hard to be with you." She admitted.

"You can try." Damon suggested before he grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss.

The next morning Carol called Bill.

"I want to let her go." She told him.

"We can't. She's a monster." Bill argued.

"She's your daughter, Bill." Carol countered. He didn't say anything and hung up.

Caroline woke up chained to chair in some sort of dungeon. She couldn't seem to break them.

The door began to open and she couldn't believe who she saw.

"Hello Caroline." Bill said.

"Daddy?" She responded.

In case you noticed similarities between Ric and Ethan, Diana did too. I have a storyline for her that involves her being more than just a witch. Jill is also beginning to feel something for Klaus. Their next stop is the Windy City. Please don't get to review.
