Episode 4-All the Roads Lead To Scandicci
"Booooohoooooo!"- Alaric said imitating a ghost, "I'm the ghost of your past girlfrieeend, Matthew Mcconaughey, I'm gonna help you find your trueee loveee…."
"Stop it. Seriously!"-Jeremy said but he smiled.
"And I'm gonna…."-Alaric started but Jeremy interrupted him with words "I'm telling you the truth. I'm seeing ghosts. It's not funny."
"I know, but Bonnie isn't here so we can't do practically anything. We can just joke around..."Alaric said.
"I hate when she's not around…"-Jeremy said.
"Well someone's whipped…"-Alaric joked.
"I am, and I'm not ashamed of it."-Jeremy said.
"Ouchhh…"-Bonnie said.
"What is it?"-Elena asked.
"Someone's channelling my power. I don't know how, or who, or why…"-Bonnie said and then she started screaming and blood was coming out of her nose…
"BONNIEEE!"-Elena screamed.
"Are you done, Greta?"-Klaus asked his new witch.
"Seriously, her name is Greta?"-Stefan asked.
"Yeah, so?"-Klaus asked.
"Your old witch's name was Greta."-Stefan said and rolled his eyes.
"I find it hard remembering all the names of my witches. So I call them Greta."-Klaus said.
"So the last witch was named by you?"-Stefan asked.
"No. Her dad gave her that name. Poor girl. I was just lucky enough to steal her from him. It was just a bonus that she was named Greta."-Klaus said sounding amused.
"What is she doing anyway?"-Stefan said and pointed at Greta.
"Oh…some voodoo…you know …witchy stuff."-Klaus said.
"But why?"-Stefan asked.
"She needs information…and power…I have a little surprise for your little stalker and your brother and whoever else is with them."-Klaus said.
"Don't you try to hurt them!"-Stefan said.
"Oh I won't hurt them. I will hurt that person that is with them that I can't see who it is."-Klaus said.
Bonnie was unconscious. Elena was panicking. She went to call Damon.
Sabrielle was asleep, unaware of everything.
Damon and Elena entered the room.
"What happened?"-Damon asked.
"I don't know. Someone was channelling her power. She is now unconscious."-Elena explained.
"And what's up with her?"-Damon asked and pointed at Sabrielle who was sleeping.
"She's asleep."-Elena said and rolled her eyes.
"Should we wake her up?"-Damon said.
"No. It's better when she's quiet."-Elena said. Damon laughed.
"We need to do something! Go get Bonnie some water…"-Elena said to Damon.
But suddenly, Bonnie was up on her feet again.
"Bonnie, you scared me! What is going on?"-Elena asked.
"Someone took my powers."-Bonnie said and a tear fell down her face.
"WHAT?"-Damon said.
"Yeah. I can't do anything now."-Bonnie said.
"Try dammit."-Damon said.
Bonnie started concentrating. But nothing happened.
"No. It's not working."-Bonnie said.
Damon looked pissed off.
"Great. This is just great. I thought you had the power of hundred witches…"-He said sarcastically.
"I don't know what happened."-Bonnie said.
"Now we have two useless girls here."-Damon commented.
"Hey!"-Elena complained.
"Oh God Elena, what can you possibly do? Let's be real here."-He said.
But before she was able to respond, Sabrielle started screaming.
"What is going on now?"-Elena asked.
"Did you find out who that person is?"-Klaus asked.
"No…it's very strong. I can't get into its head."-Greta said.
"Try again!"-Klaus demanded.
"I'm trying…"-She said.
"My head!"-Sabrielle screamed. In the next second, she was on the floor.
But then the pain stopped.
"Sooo?"-Klaus asked.
"I think it's one of the Originals. It's someone from your family…that's all I got."-Greta said.
"Oh no….I don't need that now…"-Klaus said.
"I even took the powers of their witch and I couldn't break into the head of that person…"-Greta said.
"Can you keep those powers?"-Klaus asked.
"No…"-Greta said.
"Then you're useless to me."-Klaus said and snapped her neck. Her corpse fell on the floor.
"Why did you do that?"-Stefan asked.
"You didn't hear what I just said? She was useless."-Klaus said.
Stefan was quiet. He wanted to say some things to Klaus but he couldn't.
"And also…tell your girlfriend, or whatever she is, to quit following us, okay? It's creepy. I feel like I'm a celebrity and she's my paparazzi. Is that what you call it?"-Klaus said.
"I don't have a girlfriend."-Stefan said.
"I don't think Katerina is aware of that. But too bad for her. She'll suffer more."-Klaus said.
Katherine was listening to them from the other room in that house.
Sabrielle was feeling sick. She was lying on the floor. Even though the pain stopped she was still feeling it somewhere in her consciousness.
"I got my powers back!"-Bonnie said after she lit a candle all by herself. But Damon ignored her realization.
"What is up with Sabrielle?"-Damon asked.
"I think someone attacked her using my powers."-Bonnie said.
"It's Klaus."-Elena said.
"Really, Elena? Who else could it be?"-Damon said and rolled his eyes.
Sabrielle got up and left the room without saying anything.
Damon went after her.
"Wait, Sabrielle!"-He yelled.
"Don't go after me. I need blood."-She said.
"Then we'll hunt together."-He said.
"I'm not going anywhere with you."-Sabrielle said.
"C'mon! Is that because I tried to kiss you last night?"-He asked.
"Damon! I don't want someone playing with my head now…I'm sorry…"-She said.
"But hear me out!"-He said and then both of them stopped walking.
"Okay tell me what you wanted to tell me. Oh wait…"-She said and paused for a second and then said. "I DON'T CARE." Then she started walking again.
He went after her.
"I'm attracted to you!"-He said.
"I know. "-Sabrielle said.
"But I…"-He tried to say but Sabrielle stopped him and said "Hear that sound?"
"What sound? It's quiet here."-He said.
"That's the sound of me…NOT CARING!"-She said and then disappeared with vampire speed.
Damon was confused. He was only this stubborn with Elena…but Sabrielle…it was different with her. He felt he could have her…but she's acting totally opposite. She's giving him mixed signals. He wanted to have a one night stand with her, but she's making him work for it. "Is it worth it?"-He thought. He doesn't like it when things don't go his way.
"Hurry up, Stefan, we need to be there on time!"-Klaus demanded.
Stefan was feeding on some woman. Then he paused for a second and said "I'm coming. Just a sec."
"No, Stefan, seriously. We need to go now. They won't be in that town forever. Now I'm strong enough. I can kill them."-Klaus said.
"Who are you talking about? Where are we going?"-Stefan said.
"We're going to a town called Scandicci. And we're gonna take care of some of its residents."
He turned around all of a sudden and left the room. Stefan could hear him talking to Katherine.
"You don't give up, do you? Just so you know, I'm losing my patience with you."
Stefan took the chance and compelled the girl he was feeding from: "I need you to pass a message."
Jeremy was in the bathroom, getting ready for bed, when he heard some strange sound coming from his room. He stood still for a moment, listening. It sounded like someone was weeping. He opened the door carefully. Vicki was sitting on his bed, crying.
"Vicki? What's wrong?"-He asked her.
"I remember."-She whispered quietly.
"Oh... I'm sorry."-Jeremy wasn't sure what to say. Still, this was a progress. Now, if he could only figure out how to make her go away for good. And Anna. He almost forgot about Anna.
"It's all his fault. It's all his fault, Jeremy! He killed me! And now Matt is dead as well. He has to pay."-Vicki seemed angry all of a sudden.
"Damon? I know what he did was horrible, and I don't really like him, but still..."
"Are you taking his side?"-Vicki interrupted him.
"Well, I don't know..."-He started saying. She looked really angry. And kinda dangerous. But she was a ghost. She couldn't do anything. Or could she? And honestly, he had no idea what she was.
"Matt's death wasn't his fault. Well, at least not completely his fault."-He said.
"I know. That's why he won't be the only one who will pay for this."
"You should think about this when you calm down. You could do something you'll regret later."-He told her.
"Calm down? Regret? I'm dead Jeremy!"-She yelled. And then she was gone.
"So, who exactly do you want to kill? And why?"-Stefan asked Klaus when they arrived to Scandicci.
"Aren't you curious? But I guess I can tell you. It's not like you can stop me."
"Everybody stay close."-said Damon. They were in a house Sabrielle saw in her vision. Klaus and Stefan were supposed to be there, but the house seemed empty.
"Something is wrong."- Sabrielle told them. A sound suddenly came from one of the rooms.
"Stefan?"-Elena called. She and Bonnie were behind Damon and Sabrielle. They heard the sound again and Elena ran towards the room.
"Elena, wait!"-yelled Bonnie. She ran after her, but the lights went out.
"Elena!"-Damon called.
"Someone else is here."-Sabrielle said.
They heard a scream coming from the room Elena went into. They all ran towards it, when something attacked them from the shadows.
"My brother already told the story to Elena, so I assume you know his father killed mine, and then I killed him and my brothers and sisters."-Klaus told Stefan.
"I thought I was done with them. All I had to do was break the curse, and nothing could stop me. But I didn't know Darius, Elijah's father, had a plan. Little before I killed him, he met with some witches. Beaumont witches, to be precise. You see, he somehow found out that I learned the truth about my father and my origin. He didn't think I would kill him, he didn't think I could, but he still had to make sure. So he made a deal. If I found way to become a hybrid, after I had killed him of course, every Beaumont witch alive would fulfil the promise her ancestors gave."
"What promise?"-asked Stefan.
"They would bring Darius back to life."
Damon, Sabrielle and Bonnie were surrounded by vampires. There was about fifty of them, but once Bonnie lit the candles up, Sabrielle started killing them with ease. While the two of them were fighting, Damon entered the room Elena was in. She was lying on the floor, and a vampire had his teeth in her throat, sucking the blood out. Damon attacked him, but he moved at the last second, and Damon hit the wall. Turning around, he attacked again, and managed to hit him. Then he pushed the vampire against the wall.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"-Damon asked him.
"Kill the visitors."-He said, his eyes looking empty. Then he pushed Damon, and managed to throw him on the floor. His hand went for Damon's heart, when fire consumed him. Bonnie and Sabrielle were standing at the door.
"They've been compelled. All of them."-Sabrielle said.
Bonnie kneeled next to Elena, while Damon bit his wrist, and fed Elena his blood.
"How is she?"-asked Bonnie worriedly.
"She'll live."-Sabrielle told her and then said under her breath: "Unfortunately."
"Are you all right? You seem worried."-Alaric told Jeremy.
"I'm not sure. I spoke to Vicki ~don't give me that look, I know it sounds weird~ anyway, I spoke to her and the good news is she remembers everything. She knows she's dead."
"What's the bad news?"
"She wants revenge."
"You okay?"-Damon asked Elena.
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
While Damon was helping Elena get up, Sabrielle wandered around the house. She told Bonnie to go upstairs and search for clues, while she searched the bottom of the house. She didn't find anything, and just as she was joining Elena and Damon, Bonnie called: "Guys? I think you should see this."
They went upstairs and saw Bonnie standing next to a girl. The girl's neck was bloody and she had bite marks. She looked at them and asked: "Are you looking for Stefan?"
Damon and Elena looked at each other.
"We are. Can you tell us where to find him?"-said Damon.
"Yes."
The room was dark and cold. The windows were closed, the curtains drawn, and all the lamps were broken. Katherine was there all by herself, wandering around.
"Stefan?"-She asked but no one responded.
She was sure that Stefan and Klaus entered this room on the way to Scandicci. But now she couldn't see anyone or anything…
She continued walking around. In one moment, she tripped.
"Damn."-She complained. It was dark and she couldn't see what she had tripped on, but she touched it. It was a hand. Then that hand moved and grabbed her.
She screamed.
"Shhh…"-The voice said and covered her mouth. She bit the hand of that person.
"Ouch!"-The voice yelled. It was a guy. But then he carried Katherine to some place else. She was protesting, biting…but she couldn't do anything to that guy.
"Who are you?"-She asked.
"Your worst nightmare."-He said and laughed.
"No, seriously, who are you?"-She interrupted his evil laugh.
"You'll see soon."-He said.
"But I need to go. Can you just drop me off somewhere outside this creepy house?"-She said.
"Look at you. Being bossy and all. You're not in the position to order me anything."-He said.
"Why does your voice sound familiar?"-She asked.
"You'll see in a bit."-He said and ran from the house with vampire speed.
"Is Katherine still following us?"-Stefan asked.
"I took care of that."-Klaus said.
"What did you do?"-Stefan asked.
"I sent some people to take her. She knows them."-Klaus said.
"They won't kill her, will they?"-Stefan asked.
"Aww look at you, being all worried about your first love…"-Klaus teased. "But don't worry, she'll be fine. Maybe even more than fine… "
"So why did we have to go to that house earlier?"-Stefan asked.
"It was a trap for Katerina."-Klaus said.
Stefan felt kinda bad for Katherine.
"So why are we going this way when that city is on the other side?"-Stefan asked.
"I want to visit a friend."-Klaus said.
"So, spill it? Where is Stefan?"-Sabrielle asked.
"Scandicci."-The girl said.
"Where is that? Can you tell us more?"-Sabrielle asked.
"No."-The girl said.
"Did Stefan say something more to you?"-Sabrielle asked her again.
"He is on his way to Scandicci. Be careful."-The girl said and passed out.
"Great. This is just great."-Damon complained.
"At least we know where he is…"-Elena said.
"I don't remember ever going to a place called Scandicci…but maybe Bonnie can find out where it is…"-Sabrielle said.
"Damon!"-Bonnie yelled when she saw him sucking the life out of that girl.
He stopped for a second and said "What? She was useless anyway. And I am hungry."
Sabrielle was fighting the urge to join him.
"Don't kill her…"-Elena said.
"I won't. I think."-Damon said and continued sucking her blood. "Oops. I think I killed her."
"Damon, why are you acting like this again? We took some blood with us from blood bank. Why did you do this?"-Elena asked.
"Fresh blood tastes better. And I need to be strong for the fight."-Damon said.
"Yeah like blood's going to help you…"-Sabrielle mumbled quietly.
"What did you say?"-Damon asked her.
"Blood's going to help you."-Sabrielle said and laughed.
"That's not what you've said."-Damon said.
"Yes it is. And how can you know what I said if you haven't heard it? Huh?"-Sabrielle said.
"Stop trying to piss me off Sabrielle."-He said.
Sabrielle just rolled her eyes.
"Where are we?"-Stefan asked.
"In some village. I don't even know the name of it."-Klaus said.
"What are we doing here?"-Stefan asked again.
"I already told you. Stop asking me questions."-Klaus said and Stefan shut up. He was still compelled.
Then some woman approached Klaus.
"Melinda, it's pleasure to see you."-Klaus said, bended and kissed her hand.
"He brought me here just so he can hook up with someone?"-Stefan thought and rolled his eyes.
"Pleasure is all mine."-Melinda said. She had blond hair and blue eyes and she was slightly taller than Klaus. She was wearing some old fashioned dress. Like she forgot which year it was.
"So Stefan…you'll be here alone for a while. You better not try to escape, because I'll find you."-Klaus said.
Stefan just nodded.
And Melinda and Klaus left.
"Where are you taking me, you dumbass?"-Katherine said.
"It's not nice to call someone a dumbass. Especially when he's carrying you."-The guy said.
Then he entered some house, shut the door and put Katherine back on the ground. She tried to run but he caught her immediately.
"Na-ah. Don't try to escape."-He said.
Then someone turned the lights on.
"Oh God, this can't be."-Katherine said and suddenly she had a smile on her face.
"Miss Katherine, long time no see."-Some other guy said.
"Matheus don't try to be nice."-Katherine said with a flirtatious smile on her face.
"And you Leon…I knew I recognized that voice…"- Katherine said to the guy that carried her.
The guys smiled.
"So what's the occasion?"-Katherine asked.
"Klaus asked us to keep you company."-Matheus said.
"You know that I'm able to escape right?"-She said.
"Well, you're not. We're stronger than you."-Matheus said.
"Pfft, details."-Katherine said.
"So how are you doing? I've heard that you are still playing with those Salvatore brothers…"-Leon said.
"No actually, they have another Katherine to play with."-Katherine said.
"What? How?"-Matheus said.
"Klaus didn't fill you in? Shame on him."-Katherine said. Then she remembered that Klaus probably thinks Elena is dead.
"Tell us. We'll spend much time together so make it interesting."-Matheus said.
Matheus was blond and had blue eyes and was extremely tall, while Leon was an average height but was more athletic. He had brown hair and brown eyes.
"Well my doppelganger fell in love with Stefan, and then Damon fell in love with the doppelganger. And she's telling everyone that she's in love with Stefan, but I think she loves Damon too. At least that's what she used to say, I don't know if she's alive now."-Katherine corrected herself. She wasn't sure if they'll buy that crap, but it seemed like they did. They weren't the smartest.
"History repeating itself."-Leon said.
"Yeah, that's what you did to us too. We almost killed each other."-Matheus said.
"It's not my fault that you guys were crazy about me and stupid."-Katherine said.
"You really have a thing for brothers, don't you?"-Leon asked.
"It's interesting."-Katherine said.
"Better not try to do that again…"-Leon said.
"Or you'll what?"-Katherine interrupted him confidently.
"Or I'll kill you."-Leon said.
"You won't kill me. Klaus won't let you do that. He wants me to suffer."-Katherine said.
"I don't care."-Leon said.
"Good for you, Leon."-Katherine teased and tapped him on his shoulder.
"But just for the record, who did you love more?"-Matheus asked.
Leon looked at him angrily. Katherine looked amused. She slowly approached Matheus and whispered in his ear sensually "The one that was better in bed...and we all know who that was…"
Leon said: "Oh, so me?"
Matheus said: "You're for real? I'm better…"
They started fighting again.
Katherine started laughing.
"You two are so easy to manipulate with."-She said.
Matheus attacked her and threw her on the ground.
"You like it rough? Not a problem."-She said and got up and threw him on the ground.
Then she sat on top of him and bit his neck. He screamed. But out of pleasure.
Leon then came up to Katherine and separated her from his brother Matheus.
"You'll sit here and be calm. Tomorrow, you're going with us."-Leon said and put her on a chair.
"Yes, my master."-Katherine said and licked her lips.
"And don't do that."-He said.
"Do what?"-She asked and looked at him with a sexy smile on her face.
"Just stop with the looks and everything. I gotta go eat something. You better be here when I come back. Matheus, keep an eye on her."-Leon said and left.
"So where were we?"-Katherine said and went to Matheus and put her hand under his shirt. Matheus just smiled. She looked down and said: "Oh someone's glad to see me."
"Really glad."-He said and kissed her.
They started making out really heavily.
"And just for the record…I was talking about you when I said that earlier…"-She whispered in his ear.
"I know."-He said and took her dress off.
"Bonnie, are you able to see the way to that town?"-Elena asked.
"Shh…I'm trying to concentrate."-Bonnie said.
Sabrielle was sitting on the floor next to few dead vampires, while Damon was just walking around in circles.
"This is ridiculous. We're stuck here."-Damon said.
Then Bonnie started mumbling some words and finally when she was done she said "I know the way, but we won't be able to get there in one day…we'll have to find a place to stay."
"I'm sure there's something along the way…"-Elena said.
"Let's get moving please!"-Damon said sounding frustrated.
Sabrielle got up without a word and they all went outside the house. They were following Bonnie.
The only way to that town from the place they were in was through the forest.
They started walking.
"And where would that place to stay be?"-Damon asked.
"The road is not so far."- Bonnie said.
"How far exactly?"-Damon asked.
"Few hours of walking."-Bonnie said.
"I'm not able to walk that long."-Elena said.
"That is not far for you, Bonnie?"-Damon asked sarcastically.
"Oh God, stop complaining already! Listen to this, I'm going to carry Bonnie while I run to that road, and you'll carry Elena? Is that good for you?"-Sabrielle asked.
"Sounds good to me."-Damon said and put Elena on his back. Sabrielle did that with Bonnie.
"Thank you, Sabrielle."-Bonnie said.
"Is it comfortable for you, here on my back?"-Damon asked Elena.
"Don't get the wrong idea. You're just carrying me."-Elena said.
"Then hold on tight."-He said and started running. Sabrielle and Bonnie were ahead of them.
After an hour they were on the road.
"Where now?"-Damon asked Bonnie.
"There's a hotel."-Bonnie said and pointed at some vintage looking building.
"It's beautiful."-Elena commented and tried to get off Damon's back.
"Why are you touching me so much?"-Damon teased her.
She rolled her eyes.
Sabrielle put Bonnie down and they all went to the hotel.
Sabrielle reserved the rooms this time and she decided to take two rooms for one and one for two.
She didn't want to be with Elena in a room because that would mean that Damon will be there also. She wanted some peace and quiet.
"Why did you take a separate room for yourself?"-Bonnie asked.
"I need some alone time."-Sabrielle said.
"You had plenty of it when you were in a coffin."-Damon teased.
Sabrielle just ignored him.
"Oh that's where we stand now?"-He asked.
She didn't respond and she just went to her room.
"Why is she so mad at me?"-Damon asked Bonnie and Elena.
"You kind of harassed her…"-Bonnie said.
"How? I didn't do anything."-Damon said.
"Don't lie, Damon. We know you…"-Elena said.
"But I don't love her…that was just a game."-Damon said.
"That is the problem, Damon. She doesn't like games like that."-Bonnie said.
"No, actually she likes them, but with the guys that love her…and not someone else…"-Elena said.
Damon looked at Elena. She was fully aware of his love for her and she was totally okay with it. She just let him love her. That bothered him a bit.
"So Melinda, tell me, what have you been up to these few years?"-Klaus asked her while gently touching her face. They were in bed, naked.
"Nothing special…"-She said.
"Was someone here before me?"-Klaus said.
"Just some guy. He told me to tell you that he's ready."-She said.
"Who's ready? Ready for what?"-Klaus asked.
"Revenge."-Melinda said with a blank stare and then lost her consciousness. Then she woke up again.
"What happened?"-She asked.
"Oh, one of the witches possessed your body for a second."-Klaus said sounding calm. Like it was completely normal.
"What did she say?"-She asked.
"Nothing much…"-Klaus said and kissed her.
"I'm so glad you're here. I've missed you."-She said and then he ripped her heart out and threw it against the wall.
"And I've missed you too, darling…"-He said and put his clothes on and left the room.
End of the episode.
