Lie To Me

Chapter 3

Plan In Motion

You know that warning people always tell you about texting while walking? The one that always ends badly for the person texting. Well yeah that was Evelyn as she clutched the broken tip of her boot's heel; Not my Jimmy Choo's, she inwardly cried. She'd curse the day manhole's were invented as she recalled how she just simply trying to cross the street when her heel slipped into the small manhole cover causing it to brake. Evelyn nearly ate asphalt but managed to sacrifice her face with bruised hands and a cracked blackberry.

She had planned to put her calves to good use and walk to work, but now seeing as she was not going to waddle herself on one good heel she had to hail a taxi. Luckily for her she had back up shoes at the office the only sucky part of the experience was that she was going to need a new cell phone. When the cab pulled up to a quiet calm and less busy block it pulled up to side of the rode facing a small office building with a black iron gate whose moss covered walls were adorned by a black and gold plaque marked Lara Brighton Interior Design. After tipping the guy she unsteadily waddled her way over the broken block path and opened the French door entrance. "Can somebody get me my back up shoes!" she called as she tried to waddle to her office.

"My lord not the Jimmy Choo's anything but the Jimmy Choo's could you at least sacrifice your face over destroying those beauties." Nathan voice wined as he instantly appeared beside her helping her make her way into her office. "Oh you're so kind Nathan, oh whatever would I do without you?" she mocked as they managed to make it over to her desk chair. Plopping down she roughly pulled off the boots before thrusting them in the corner. "And mind you, I may not have paid for it with my face, I did however pay for it with these." She held up her palms to show the bruised skin and peeled flesh, "and to make matter worse I cracked my blackberry screen while I was at it." She motioned to the black screen with the crack fracture split all along the surface.

"Don't worry well fix that" Nathan simply leaned over pressing the intercom button on her desk "Heather I need a first aid kit stat, and have somebody order a new Blackberry Bold within the next half hour."Slumping back in her chair Evelyn admired the swag Nathan seemed to carry throughout her office. If she hadn't offered the opportunity to come with her to open a business in the NYC she would have been up the creek and without a paddle. "What would I do without you Nate? Seriously I think I'd go blind." She said

"Maybe not blind but your wardrobe would have gone to hell, and you would have spent the most of your life living in an enactment of Sex In The City." He said as he handed her a black pair of closed to pumps. "Ah, Christian Loubution we're together again." She kissed the sharply polished beauties before slipping them on. No sooner did Nathan's assistant Heather come in with a first aid kit and together were the cleaning and bandaging her bruised appendage. "Ok, that's that and Blake already order the new phone and just left to pick it up."

Nodding her thanks to the assistant as she turned to leave closing the door behind her; Evelyn turned to her assistant who was beaming down at her. "What, why are you staring at me like that?" She asked as she flipped open her lab top to check her inbox. "You know regardless of you waddling in hear like your waiting for your Aflac to kick in. Don't think I do see the positive afterglow of self indulgence. So either Batman has returned to you Louis Lane or your putting the birthday gift I got you to good use" Evelyn just rolled her eyes at her assistant as she surfed through her inbox. "Ok first of all Lois Lane is with Superman and secondly I threw that gift out way back." She sneered.

Nathan clutched a hand to his heart as though he were wounded, "I can't believe after four years of working together you think, I don't know when you're trying to avoid the question. Now tell me is tall dark and supernatural back yet or not?"

Evelyn had a stare down with her assistant as she glared it him to back off while his were daring her to make him. "Yes, he's back." She cracked ignoring as how he fist pumped his success in the air. "I knew it hun, not tell me everything. I want the det's ."

"Get over yourself Nate, he's just came over last night ….",

"So he spent the night as usual. Every time I hear that he was at your place he's normally there for the night." Nathan interrupted, "And my guess the night ended between the sheets with his teeth plunged into your neck as he drank in ecstasy."

"Eh- you make it seem so raunchy so stop, and he doesn't bite from me." She said, Nathan looked at her as if she grew a second head before he sat on the edge of her desk. "You're telling me after three years together not one bite, I hardly believe you my dear."

"I never said he didn't bite me, because he has it just that every time he does try he says that he feels like he's sucking on air." She said as she fiddled with a pen. "Wow, so the supernatural powers are stopping lover boy from making you his mistress of the night."

"Mistress of the night? Now that's funny, Klaus can easily turn me into a vampire it's just… without gaining any control of this power, it will never respond to him the way I want it to." Nathan seeing the troubled expression placed a comforting hand upon her shoulder. "You know it might just take time, because the way I see it after just three years together, you still don't have that much faith in Klaus do you?"

The fiddling stopped and the air around Nathan began to cool, giving at a shudder as he sighed from the temperature drop he could visibly see his own breath. "Hey you mmm…might wantttt..to cut that out before sommmme, one notices."

Snapping out her daze and like a hot flash the temperature was normal again as Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. "Remind me not get on your bad side you little air bender." He grumbled before waking over to the coffee table and picking up an ipad. "Why don't we see what's on today schedule." Evelyn mumbled as she flicked away an icicle that managed to remain at the end of her pens tip. "Got you Lara. So Okay you have….."

AND THE DAY WENT BY as Evelyn and her team worked relentlessly, pulling fabric swatches and Googling for furniture before they knew it was time for lunch.

*Knock, knock, knock*

The sound seemed so distant from Evelyn as she stared down at the different display boards. Her brow forward and eyes narrowed, her lips were pursed as though she wanted to sneer. Should I got with silk shantung's or taffeta .

"If you stare any harder at those boards you're going to cause them to burst into flames." The light humorous voice spurred her out her thoughts causing Evelyn to jerk back in shock. When she saw who it was dressed to the nines from her Manolo's to over sized Ferragamo bag she gave a sigh of relief as she clutched her chest as while staring into the twinkling gaze of her friend. "Alicia, I swear you're going to give me a heart attack one day. I thought I told you not to sneak up on me like that."

"Hey don't blame me for you lack of awareness I knocked you just didn't listen. I thought those power's of yours made you capable of hearing everything air bender." Alicia said as she plopped her bag in one of the chairs. "I swear I don't know which of you is worse, have you all forgotten I'm still new to these powers it's gonna take me more than three years just to get the basics. I swear you guys ask for miracles out me." Evelyn grumbled

"Oh, lighten up bat girl I've come with a peace offering in the form of Chinese take-out and your favorite dessert right out from that little place on 75 and Lenox." Alicia chimed watching as how her friends eye's shifted from disgruntled into a the impression of a kid at a candy store. "Well when you put it that way, how might I abridge you Miss. Firfax?" Evelyn teased as she coursed her friend out the office and into the kitchen.

It had seemed that Nathan was already a head of them as he was scooping out some pork fried rice. "I see you're a punctual as ever for lunch, Caffree." Alicia said as she moved about the kitchen taking some plates from the cupboard. "Well Alicia when you offers to buy lunch who should dare turn you down. The only reason you'd buy lunch in the first place is if you have information or in need of a favor. So spill it ghost girl."

Evelyn giggled at the way her two friends went at it, thankfully the rest of her employee's had opted out for lunch leaving the three Stooges to converse. "Why don't we take this out on the terrace?" She gestured as they agreed and ventured out with takeout and Kirspy Cream box in hand.

"ah, I can never get tired of coming out to this," Alicia said as she inhaled the crisp air, "The landscaping is to die for, and the view is amazing, and if it wasn't for me my dear Lara you would have turned an about face to this place when all it need was some TLC."

"If I'm not mistaken you choose this place because of its good aura Ms. Feng Shui expert, and besides you just wanted some place to run to that didn't have apparitions running around." Nathan chided as he took a seat in one of the sitting chairs. Alicia just clicked her tongue as she stuck her chin out at how easily he caught her. Plopping down next to him she began to dig in with Evelyn in suit. "So you caught me, what can a girl say those little soul sucker's keep hounding me saying things like GET OUT or YOUR ALL GONNA DIE oh and my favorite PLAY WITH ME. I swear I'd kill myself if didn't give them that much satisfaction."

"Just exorcise them already and they won't be a problem." Nathan just rolled his eyes at her exaggeration. "Oh ho ho, if I could you damn sure as hell would believe I would do it, but I'm not a person of the church were most of those people come from." Alicia motioned her hands in the symbolic prayer position.

"Well I'm just waiting for the real reason you decided to come in the form of Bacchus and tempt us into one of your wild adventures." Evelyn said as she munched delightfully away as the way the warm glaze melted against her tongue. "Always cutting to the chase Lara," Alicia scowled

"Because you never get to your point." Nathan grumbled smiling coyly as Alicia flipped him the birdie. "Word on the street is that we've got some new players coming to town and I'm talking the wealthy kind." She began drawing both her companions attention, "The word I'm getting is it's a really young couple coming from old money."

"I waiting for the point to be made," Nathan slouched in his seat. "You disconcerting attitude is duly noted, but here's the thing the husbands knows his way around the blue bloods so the chairman of Howllet Industries grandmother is throwing a party to honor the new couple as a welcome to the NYC. So here's the kicker are you ready?"

"We've been waiting."

"I swear I don't know why I hang out with people who take me for granted, but any way daddy got a lovely invite to attend and unfortunately for him he'll be away over see's and left me to attend in his place along with some Company" she emphasized watching at the way Evelyn leaned curiously forward giving her undivided attention.

"So what you're saying is we get to me the couple who will be moving to a new place looking for a great interior designer making Lara Brighton I.D. a huge success, my dear I would kiss you if I didn't know you any better what's the catch."

"Oh Nathan you know me so well you tinny man, you see Mrs. Howlett lives in the old traditional estate dating back to the early 19th century and I would be surprised if there weren't a little paranormal activity going on so with my air bender friend and normal human partner who can pose as a decoy we can get through the night without fail."

"No way." Nathan said

"Hell no" Evelyn retorted

"Oh come on please, for me you can't leave me by myself to rot, after all we've been through." Alicia started tearing, but they weren't budging "Oh come on guys what about the new couple, I mean come on this is big business."

"Yeah sweaty," Nathan calmly took her hands squeezing them reassuringly, "We may be desperate at times but let's weigh the odds, chances we make a deal with the new couple and be chased by angry spirits with the possible side effect or death or we forget about the couple and move on and live peaceful for as long as we can right Lara?"

"That sounds heavenly Nathan." Evelyn said smiling smugly as she gave a reassuring pat on her friends shoulder. Alicia just watched helplessly as her companions piled up the garbage and headed back to the kitchen, she had to think quickly.

She stood abruptly from her chair causing it to screech, "Hold it you two, I didn't want to have to play this card but I only pull it for special occasions. Lara if you don't want Klaus know about the time you let the guy from Club TRON take body shots of you three months into your relationship," Evelyn halted

"and Nate, Nate, Nate… if you don't want people to see that photo of you on the day after Jennifer Aniston's Birthday Bash. You know that morning were you mysteriously woke up in time in Central Park co…"

"You swore you would never speak of it!" Nathan hissed as swiftly turned around to glare at her, "You wouldn't" he dared. Pulling out her iphone from her pocket she coyly glanced up at him. "I don't know about that Nate you know you love me XOXO Gossip Girl, she mimicked her fingers typing."

"Alright we'll do it, you will however swear on your Valentino shoes that you will never speak of this ever again." Evelyn held out her hand which Alicia shook before grabbing her own garbage before heading into the kitchen leaving her abhorred friends behind.

"That woman is the devil." Nathan hissed, "You're telling me." Evelyn muttered as they both followed in after her. "So Alicia what's the name of the lovely couple?" Nathan asked as he placed his dish in the sink.

"Oh, I didn't tell you? Daddy didn't give me a name but next time I'll be sure to ask him," Alicia glanced down at her watch before muttering, "Well speak of the devil. I'm late for my next appointment, I'll be sure to text you all the detail later let me go get my bag and run. Later."

"This better be worth it" Nathan grumbled as he watched Alicia's silhouette disappear around the corner. Evelyn just nodded as she sunk into another donut. "You know you're gonna get fat because of those."

"Nathan?" Evelyn asked with her mouth fool of glazed over dough

"What"

"Bite me"

"DID YOU GET EVERYTHING SETTLED." Alaric came into the den to see Damon lounging back sipping on a glass of Bourbon. "Relax we've got the perfect cover, Klaus won't even know what hit him." Damon said as he tasted the burning liquid scorch a path down his throat.

"Tell me something Damon, do you even know these people?" Alaric wandered over to the fire place leaning against the fireplace before crossing his arms as he waited patiently for a response. "Being a vampire has its perks and unlike my ill fated brother who decided to remain here most of the time. I on the other hand got to venture out and see new people."

"It just surprises me."

"I've lived more than a hundred years and you just now seemed surprised, Rick?"

"Not about that, I'm surprised you managed to make friends." Alaric smugly watched the way Damon eyes rolled. He was about to reply when Elena and Caroline came into the den.

"Ok, Caroline is gonna stay here and look after everything with Tyler and Jeremy while were away." Elena explain, "And it sucks how you guys get to high tail it to New York while I'm stuck here in this soul sucking town" Caroline complained as she plopped down on the couch.

"Well what do you expect us to do take wolf boy with us so he can chases cabs all over the place?" Damon chided as he swung back another glass while Alaric gave him a disapproving look he merely shrugged the disapproving glares he got. After all it would be the first time he was sent those types of looks; Elena sighed before running a hand through her hair as she made her way over to Caroline. Taking a seat next to her she rested a comforting hand on her friend. "I wouldn't put it in Damon's terms but he's kind of right. Without you here there's no one out there that can help Tyler and I'm pretty sure he's going to need all the help he can get, and even if you came with us there no doubt he'd want to come and that would be too dangerous in such a big city. Chances are he could flip out and put people's lives in danger." Alaric said.

"And I need you to look after Jeremy and make sure he's stays out of trouble." Elena cut in as she squeezed her hand to just agree to it. "Yeah, sure…. See if you can hit Chinatown, I really want a nice faux designer bag." Giving her a smile of appreciation Elena nodded as she gave out a soft laugh. "I'll make sure Bonnie and I stop there before we head back, I promise."

"Speaking of Bonnie where is she?" Alaric asked, "She and Jeremy are at the burning site to see if they can scrape together anything else before we leave tonight." Caroline said

"And I'm not even finished packing, I'll see you guy's later tonight." Elena said as she and Caroline moved to leave. Resting his glass down Damon moved to follow them out and just as Elena was about to step over the threshold he caught her wrist stopping her from following Caroline back to her car. Elena turned to glance at Damon curiously "What's wrong?" she asked

Damon eyes searched every crevice of her own, "You know you can talk to me too right?" He stated, sighing Elena eyes shifted between the ground and his before responding. "Damon, I'm tired of talking. As you've seen the more we talk the more things happen. Right know I just want this to be over," She eyed him, she knew what he was trying to get at and she was not going to ever cross the line with him, she'd make it clear no matter how many times even if she had to tattoo it over her heart. Damon and her would never happen either with or without Stefan in the picture. "I appreciate that you want be there for me right know but right know I just need time to myself mentally ok?"

Damon wanted to say something to her he really did, but he knew that she would just shut him out. "Ok" Nodding in confirmation Elena heaved out a sigh she didn't even know she was holding. The tension seemed to roll off of her the minute he let go. "I'll see you later." She said before heading to her car and down the driveway and out of sight. Damon continued to look of aimlessly down the dirt road as the sun began to disappear behind the tall trees. Closing the door he made his way back into the den picking up his discarded glass and right over to the wet bar. "Do you think this is such a good idea?" Damon heard Alaric ask as he on screwed the bottle top and the scent of the crisp scotch filtered past his nose as he poured the dark liquor into his glass.

"Is what not a good idea?" He asked, "Come on Damon seriously, I'm surprised Elena even agreed to do this with you. I mean we all see it why can't you?" Alaric chided from his position on the sofa chair as he glared heatedly at the vampire as he threw back his drink and pour himself another.

"Alaric if you plan to cause problem's on this trip I have no problems leaving you hear." He retorted as he moved to the window and stared out into the forest watching slowly with every fraction of a second as the Sun would creep blow the trees; time was approaching soon. "I'm not going to be the one causing problems Salvatore. You've got that all covered and have never need my help in that department. Besides why would I leave such impulsive teenagers go off to New York with an even more impulsive and selfish person."

"So what are you the voice of reason?"

"Well someone needs to be or you'll just get all yourselves killed." Alaric said watching as the tension start to build up in the vampire shoulders. "You plan to defeat Klaus but at the same time you're just going to cause problems for yourself and everyone else again, by choosing this tactic."

"Don't you think I'm aware of the little tid bit, and on the side note of that I'm so glad you care about my little heart I actually thought I might shed a tear there," Damon dramatically placed his hand over his heart as though touched. Alaric just rolled his eyes at Damon's mediocre response. "And listen here Alaric I'm not looking to hurt Elena, but last I checked we don't know anybody in New York and I have no idea if Stephan made the opportunity to befriend anybody up there. You guys are only stuck with my resources and they come with a rather personal sacrificing price."

"How do you even know this lady?" Alaric question, Damon's dabble into old money had him suspicious since the day he brought it up and he wanted to know where all the traps were. "I did a bit of loan sharking back in the days with this old family. The head of the family use to be someone I was told to watch over."

"So what happened to her?" Curious were Damon's was going with this it seemed quite odd for him to be playing babysitter to someone little kid, it was far from the first thing anybody thought when they thought of Damon Salvatore. "She married a witch and my services were no longer needed. 55 years later that little demon is managing the whole family fortune and all the resources that go with it."

"I'm waiting for the catch her Damon." Alaric cut in, he was kind of guessing where he was going with this but he didn't understand the couple part needing to take effect. "As I was getting to, the old bat will only let me get a hold of her resources if I bring someone who is my significant other to through of her family from interfering with what we're trying to do. It would take the suspicion off of us if it weren't just one person."

"Ok I see were your going but can't you just compel her family or anybody else for the matter?"

"Her family carry the witch genes so it impossible and if some of them have vervain in the system or on them and it gets annoying to have to do that with everyone we meet." Damon countered turning to see Alaric understanding gaze. "I see well I better get my stuff together and meet you back here," Alaric said hoisting himself of the couch. As he made his way to the den's entrance and stopped and turned back to the vampire. "Damon, just don't …"

"Just don't what?" he rose a brow ever curious at what Alaric had to stay, but instead the managed to be battled in a long staring contest before Alaric tore his eyes away. "Never mind I think if I told you, it would be pointless when you already know the consequence."

Damon turned his gaze to his glass as swished its contents around as pondered before he downed the last of it. Hearing the door close upon Alaric departure he headed upstairs to his room.

"Did you get all the things you need for the trip?" Andie said tying the scarf around her neck as she exited the bathroom. "I almost forgot you were still here." Damon replied as he made his way over to his duffle bag and shifted through it. "That pretty cold Damon, put I can easily forgive." Andie sashayed her way over to Damon letting her hand move from his back to his hard tone stomach as she caressed over his shirt.

Once he saw he had all he needed he turned around and grasped the back of the reporters head fingers knotted tightly in her hair and stared intensely into her eyes. "While I'm away you will go about your daily life, you will breath nothing about me or anybody here to anyone. If you do you will kill yourself do you understand."

Her seductive features managed to lose poise as her cheery expression slackened as she stared back at Damon like a lifeless doll. "Yes."

"Good," He said as he glanced her up and down, it was going to be a while before he'd get any action. What the hell he thought. "Better get one for the road." Damon howled Andie over his shoulder and into the bathroom, where further scream's and moans were the only things that manage to pass through her lips for the rest the day till it was time to leave.

"YOU AND DAMON SEEM CLOSE. Caroline said as she folded up another top and placed it into the duffel bag. "What are you talking about? It's Damon for crying out loud" Elena said from her closet as she pulled out couple pairs of clothes.

"I know but since this has happened, I feel…" she paused as she sat on the bed, "I don't know maybe it's just me but it just feels different. That's why I'm wondering if you're going to be okay doing this. You jumped on this so fast that I don't really think that your thinking this really through."

"What's there to think about Caroline, that plan is to find Stefan and kill Klaus before he harms any more people." Elena said as she came out with a pile of jeans and t-shirts and dumped them in the bag.

"Yeah I get that, we all do. But did you every stop to think at what price your doing this for?"

"Don't even bother Caroline I already tried, and she's determined as hell no matter what any of us have to say." The new occupant caught both of their attentions as they saw Bonnie leaning in against the door frame. Scuffing her Convers against the floor Elena moved to her drawer and pulled a battered journal and tucked away carefully into the bag. "I'm not leaving Stefan another day with that monster, we're getting him out." Her tone was final suggesting they drop the subject. She knew what she was risking and after what happened between her and Damon it was a small price she is willing pay if meant getting Stefan home safe.

"Did you find anything new at the burning site?" Elena decided to change subject and shift the focus of her for once. At her mention of the burning site Bonnie seemed to perk up and in an instant Jeremy was right behind her.

"They revealed a new page in the Grimoire, it's was blank at first but then page it light up with a whole map of the town." He said, Elena just shrugged at this "So what's your point we tried scrying for Stefan and got nothing."

"That what we came to tell you, it doesn't scry." Bonnie said, both Elena and Caroline looked at her dumbfounded. "You lost me there, then what does it do." Caroline hesitantly asked; for some reason Bonnie was undoubtedly chipper about a map in the book for some reason that neither Elena or she new. Even Jeremy seemed pleased with the news of this event because he had a pleasant grin painted on his face.

"It reveals everything and everyone, I'll show you when we meet up with everyone else because I don't feel like explaining this more than once. Are you done packing?"

"Yeah I'm finished we should get going" Elena said as she zipped her bag and tossed it over her shoulder.

"SO WHAT THIS SURPRISE WITCH?" Damon asked as he leaned against the SUV. Rolling her eyes at the vampire Bonnie waved her hand out to Jeremy who passed her the batter and decrepit book. "We got a little going away present from our deceased friends," she said as she made her way over to the hood of the car and set the book along top of the car's hood. The gang circled around like a moth to a flam as she flipped endlessly through page after page. Till she reached to a worn out page with old stains splatters all along the edges and she said:

"His oculis arderet viam salutis"

"Wait there's a spell, Bonnie you told me there was no spe…." Jeremy's voice was outweighed by the sound the wind.

It suddenly picked up causing the tree branches to rattle and leaves to scuttle along the drive way. The lights flickered sporadically before the blew out and blared a bright intensity. Even Damon and Caroline had to cover their eyes at the brightness before it finally settled back to its normal glare. "Ok that just too intense what kind of spell is….." Caroline gasped drawing every ones attention back on to the Bennett witch. He eyes were fogged over in a white hue, concealing her once hazel irises.

Jeremy moved over to shake her out it but Damon kept a pretty firm hold on his arm. "What are you doing she could kill herself." He hissed as he tried to shake off his grip but Damon held firm. "She's not done yet." He pointed as he saw Bonnie motion her hand over the book and instantly the pages set ablaze. The group pulled back at the intense heat of the flame watching vigorously as it dwindled to nothing. Moving closer they saw the book was intact and so were the pages and what was once two blank tattered pages were now dark outlines of a map and not just any map. It was Mystic falls.

"Look here's where we are" Bonnie said as she pointed to one end of the map. The map glowed with visible script that managed to form symbols along on the page. "And over here," She pointed to another script symbol of a paw print. "That's Tyler, and over there is Matt at the Grill."

"Every person in Mystic falls is on this map." Alaric said as he saw the symbols of Humans and the Supernatural move about the page. "And with this you guys can locate any vampire in the city as long as you have the book."

Clapping his hand at the success Damon was indeed impressed. "Ok so we got our GPS now let's get going." He said as he moved around the hood to drivers side. "We've just out maneuvered Klaus by one step." Caroline said giddily as she made her way over to her car.

"Yeah, but who's to say he's not already expecting us." Alaric muttered as he climbed into the SUV's passenger side. Taking up the book Bonnie tilted and Elena watched as the map's drawing reduced to ash as it spilled out and on to the pavement. Closing the book she turned to face her best friend and Elena say that her eyes were no longer casted over in white fog but the hazel concerned irises of her best friend.

"Don't worry Elena, will find Stefan and bring him back I promise." Bonnie reached for her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze before letting go as they both loaded up into the car and off to the airport.

" SO WHILE YOUR LIVING IN THE LAP OF LUXURY and protecting Mystic Falls try not have too much fun without me." Caroline said as she eyed the private jet, Elena just gave her a smile before pulling her into a hug. "Take care of everything while were gone and look after Jeremy, and call us as if anything happens."

"Same goes for you, Jeremy and I will be standing by the phone until you land okay." She said feeling Elena nodded into her shoulder. Giving her a good squeeze she was careful not to snap her in half before letting her go.

"ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU"Jeremy said as he held both of Bonnie's hands while stroking her supple flesh lightly with is thumb. "I'm sure. I need you to run the home base while I'm away since you know your way around the burn site without a problem and you can keep Caroline sane for me." She said

"That doesn't so to promising for me." He joked grinning at the way he managed to get her to crack a smile one last time. "I'll keep in constant contact with you from the moment I get there okay?"

Nodding he at least felt reassured that she'd stay in contact. Sending his girlfriend to go fight an original by herself didn't sit well with him, and even if she was with the others it still didn't put his mind at ease, but he had to trust her for once or all would be for nothing. That still didn't make him stop worrying though. Looking straight at her, he took her all in from head to toe. Even right this very instant he missed her and she was standing there, right in front of him and it hurt.

Placing his hand to the back of her head he leaned down and kissed her with every fiber of his being. He hoped this kiss would make her miss him just as much as he would miss her if not more. He held on tighter as he felt her arms wrap around his waist and pull him in closer. It felt for the very second that their bodies were one.

But slowly it had to end as their breaths were coming short. Pulling away slowly he placed kiss upon her forehead lingering there just a bit hoping she'd think of him.

As they unraveled from each other the two walked handed in hand to the foot stairs of the jet. Bonnie let go to give Caroline a hug goodbye, never forgetting the cold feeling she felt as she let go of her boyfriends hand. Jeremy hugged Alaric and gave his sister a hug as well squeezing her tight. "Please be careful Elena."

Squeezing him back she replied. "I promise to come back with everyone." Letting her go he watched the two most important people to him climb the steps. "Hey hero in training!" Damon's head popped out from the entrance. He paid no mind to his nickname, "What?"

Damon flung the key's at him which he caught with ease. "Don't scratch it." He said as he headed back inside. Chuckling he looked down at the keys and back up and watched as they all disappeared inside. "Good luck to you too."

Moving to stand by Caroline They watched as the jets door closed and the plan move along the tarmac down the runway and up into the sky.

"Come on we should get going were no use to him standing here." Caroline said as she made her way to her car. Nodding he followed suit, pulling out of the air field he followed Caroline back to Mystic Falls hoping and praying that he wouldn't be alone after this.

So if i were you I'd waite till I'm finished.
