"Uh-oh" Stefan said as he lingered outside the classroom Bonnie was lighting candles in.

"What?" She looked up at him.

"He found them." Bonnie's eyes widened. She wasn't ready yet, but she continued setting up her spell.


"You know me." Buffy more stated then asked.

"Of course I know you Buffy Summers." He said coming closer.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Oh a little birdy told me. You really know how to keep a low profile." Buffy just looked at him and kept her straight face on. "Damon, you're in on this little plot? I'm hurt, I thought you were my friend." he said mockingly and put his hand on his chest.

"You're not him." Damon said

"Oh I'm him, he's me. I just came to my senses. Vampires are bad. Nobody seems to get that. Not even the Slayer." Now he was circling them. Damon turned to stand with his back to Buffy. "The one chosen to stand against the forces of darkness couldn't even keep her cover because she couldn't keep her hormones in check with a dirty vampire." At that point he had stopped to stand directly in front of Buffy. She punched him in his face and he went flying down the hall.

"Atta girl. Vampires bad." He said sitting up. And then he was back in front of Buffy and Damon in an instant.

"Oh there's more where that came from." She said punching him back down the hall. This time he flew into her knocking her to the floor. Damon punched him in his face but he punched Damon into the lockers.

"And you got this guy helping you." He said picking her up by her throat. He banged her head into the locker.

Damon started coming at him again but he took a gun that was loaded with wooden bullets off his belt. He shot Damon in both his legs and his stomach. That's when Stefan came speeding from the other end of the hallway and banged Rick into the locker. He then snapped Stefan's neck which he had to let go of Buffy to do. She punched him and he fell but he got right back up and banged her back into the locker.

"She alone." he said. "Just the way it's supposed to be."

"You're a big fan of me, aren't you?" Buffy went to kick him again but he grabbed her foot and twisted her leg around causing her to drop to the floor. With her other foot though, she kicked his gun out of his hand towards Damon.

"Nice move sweetheart. But I'm no fan." He shoved her into the lockers. He didn't see that Stefan was starting to come around. "You have got to be the worst slayer ever. I mean I'm helping you out. I think you should consider switching sides." she went to charge at him again but again he slammed her head into the lockers. "No no no, hear me out. If I kill all the originals, every vampire in their bloodline will die. That's more than half. Do you know how much easier your job will be?"

"It's not about that." Buffy said trying not to watch Damon kick the gun over to Stefan.

"No. you're saving thousands of vampires so a handful of good...depending on the day of the week...vampires can live." And that struck a cord with Buffy. Why was she doing this again.

That's when the gunshot went off. Stefan managed to hit him twice before he turned around and grabbed the gun from him and hit him with the butt of it. Buffy kicked him in his head. He fell at Stefan's feet and Stefan kicked him in his head again. He jumped up and pushed them both, sending them flying in separate direction.

Damon struggled to get to his feet but Alaric hit him with the gun on the top of his head.

"Down boy."

Damon kicked him hard in his shin and made him stumble back into the lockers. Buffy came and kneed him in his back and he fell into Stefan who snapped his neck.

"He's ganna recover from that fast, lets get him to Bonnie." They each took an arm over their shoulder and ran down the hall with him.

"I'm fine by the way" Damon called after them.


Jeremy, just getting back from the hotel where he dropped a few blood bags off to Spike, was walking towards the grill to start his shift. Rebekah stopped directly in front of him.

"Well if it isn't the little Gilbert."

"What do you want Rebeckah?" He asked

"What. I'm just saying hi."

"Hi." He tried to walk past her but she was suddenly in front of him again.

"Where are coming from?" Even though she already knew.

"My house." Even though he figured she probably knew where he was really coming from.

"Oh really? Is Elena home? I was actually trying to get a message to her."

"What...what could you possibly wanna tell my sister?" And then she snapped his neck

"To call off her slayer or I kill you for good." And then she lifted him over her shoulder and hurried off with him before anybody could see.


"You okay?" Buffy asked helping Damon into the classroom while Stefan and Bonnie tied Alaric to the desk.

"I'll be fine, once I get these wooden bullets out of me." He said sitting at one of the desks. Nobody has a tweezer...or...something?" They all said no in unison.

"Okay. That should be good. Lets hurry up and do this."

"You sure this is ganna work?" Stefan asked

"It has to." She said looking him directly in the eye. She started chanting. All the candles started flickering and wind started blowing. Thats the moment Alaric choose to wake up.

"You have got to be kidding me." Buffy said.

"Oh...I see what's going on here now. I thought you were all bluffing, but you're actually ganna try to kill me."

"I'm not ganna try." Buffy said. You could still hear Bonnie chanting in the backround but now she looked confused as to whether or not she should continue. "Keep going Bonnie. I got this."

Alaric broke free from his bonds in two quick motions. Buffy wasted no time punching him across the room.

"Here we go again." Damon said annoyed.

Alaric was up in a second and turned his attention toward Bonnie who couldn't stop her spell if she wanted it to work in time. Stefan got up and stood in front of her.

"Leaver her alone Rick."

"Get out of here Stefan, you can't stop me." Stefan didn't move. "Suit yourself." He said, hitting Stefan and knocking him down to the ground.

"Hey Rick!" Buffy called from the across the room. He looked over and she was holding up his daylight ring. "You were knocked out for a few minutes there." She said smirking

"Nice." Damon said. Stefan sitting up now nodded in approval.

Alaric charged at Buffy but she pulled him to window. Stefan thinking quickly zoomed over and pulled the shades out and Buffy pushed Alaric through the glass. He started to sizzle and she banged his head on the window frame making him pass out.

"Bonnie!" She called shoving him at her. Bonnie grabbed a hold of his hair and started chanting louder. The wind started blowing even faster now and then the candles flickered out when she was done

"Did it work?" Stefan asked.

Alaric came through again and was standing up in a second. Buffy didn't waste no time staking him through the heart with her white oak stake.

"Wow they really don't dust, do they all set on fire?" She asked amused. Stefan helped Bonnie up.

"Only Originals set on fire when staked with a white oak." He said

"You two better hope the spell worked." Damon said.

"Shut up Damon." the said in unison.

"It worked." Stefan said, looking at his phone obviously just receiving a text. Bonnie and Buffy looked at Damon as if to say see?

"Come on" Stefan said, putting one of Damon's arms over his shoulder. Buffy went to get the other one. "Let's get you back to the hotel and get those bullets out of you."
