Episode 6- The Attack

The town of Mystic Falls.

"Finally"-He thought, when he passed the sign with the town's name on it. Now only thing he had to do was find the doppelganger and the Salvatore brothers and set the plan in motion. He couldn't wait for the killing to begin. Oh, how he loved to kill. And in the end, when everything went according to plan, he would be the one to hear the doppelganger's heart beat for the last time. And then he would make it stop.

Ariadne opened the door and saw her mother lying on the floor in the pool of blood. Her eyes were open, but they were empty, lifeless.

"No!"-Ariadne screamed. Then she woke up. She was breathing heavily, the sweaty nightgown clinging to her body. She realized hot tears were running down her cheeks and she was all sweaty. She cursed the day she found that damn spell in an old book, in the attic of her mother's house. The page the spell was written on was ripped out of a spell book, a spell book she knew so well. Her mother showed it to her years ago. They always wondered why that one page was missing. And then, a couple of weeks ago, Ariadne found it. She was going through some old stuff her mother inherited and she found the page hidden in some random book. And then bad things started happening. Ariadne looked around the room, trying to get used to the darkness. This wasn't her room. This wasn't her town. Not even the nightgown she was wearing was hers. After she realized she had no money, she panicked for a while. Then she decided to find a job. Luckily, a bartender was needed in Mystic Grill. The owner was a kind woman whose husband died recently and left her Mystic Grill to take care of. When she found Ariadne sleeping in Mystic Grill on the first night, she gave her money in advance to rent an apartment. She also gave her some of her daughter's old clothes. Ariadne wanted to go back home, take some of her stuff and some money, but she was afraid someone would be waiting for her. She left her spell book at home, as well, but she always kept it hidden, so it was safe for now. The spell was safe, too, because she memorized it and burned the page after she found out that's what they were looking for. Now she just had to work for a month or so, before everything was sorted out. Then she would have access to her family's bank accounts. That is, of course, if she was still alive.

"Where is Damon?"-Elena asked Sabrielle.

"How should I know?-Sabrielle said.

"Well, the two of you seem to be getting closer and..."-Elena began.

"We're not getting closer!"

"Fine. I just wanted to know where he was."

"I don't know and I don't care. And you shouldn't either. Let him breathe a little. Don't you have a boyfriend, or something?"-Sabrielle told Elena.

"Yeah, and Damon is helping me to find him! They're brothers…"-Elena said.

"I didn't know they were brothers. Thanks for enlightening me."

Elena turned around and left the room.

Damon was walking down the street, trying to clear his head. He didn't know what he felt anymore. Elena was as confusing as ever, and then there was Sabrielle... But that was a problem he would deal with later. He was going to pay a visit to a vampire they found out earlier that day that worked with Klaus. Bonnie had a vision when she accidentally spotted him on the street while they were driving. Damon wanted to do something about it so he decided to go on his own, because he was getting tired of girls always tagging along. Elena would just be in danger. Bonnie might be able to help, but they didn't really get along. Sabrielle would be a distraction. And it's not like he couldn't do this by himself. He found the place he was looking for. He tried to enter but he wasn't invited in. So some woman came and invited him in. He entered and asked for Giorgio. That woman told him to wait for him in the back room. He was waiting for a while, when someone crashed the door. A man walked inside the room, chanting something. Damon moved quickly, and the chair he was sitting on moments ago burst into flames. The man started chanting again, but Damon broke his neck before he could finish the spell. Then he headed back to the motel they were staying at.

Katherine spent the morning trying to figure out how to escape the house. Leon wasn't there. Perhaps he was taking care of his brother's corpse. Still, she couldn't figure out what to do. Angry, she ran towards the door. She thought it was a futile effort, but when she reached the door, the barrier wasn't there. She realized she was standing in front of the house, the door under her feet.

"Looks like someone killed the witch."-she thought with a smile on her face.

"We're finally here. Now nothing will stop me from killing Darius again. Not even the Beaumont witches."-Klaus told Stefan.

"You're going to kill them all?"-Stefan asked him.

"If that's what it takes. They can't stop me, Stefan. Even if they combine their powers, they still won't be strong enough to kill me."-Klaus responded.

Stefan tried to say something, but Klaus stopped him: "There's no time for this. We have to move now."

They were leaving the house they stayed in for the last couple of days, when Klaus stopped next to some alley. He frowned, and then moved with vampire speed towards it.

"How did you escape?"-Klaus asked someone there.

"Your vampires weren't smart enough to deal with me."-Stefan heard Katherine's voice.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to take care of you myself. I really wanted you to suffer before I killed you, but you're too annoying."-Klaus told her.

"No, please!"-Katherine yelled. Stefan ran towards them.

"You don't have to kill her."-He told Klaus.

"Actually, I do. She keeps following us, Stefan, and I can't take it anymore."

"I can convince her to leave. You'll never see her again."-said Stefan.

"Fine. I'm in a hurry now, so I'm gonna let you take care of her. I don't care what you do, I just don't want her to be here when I come back. And I bet it'll be painful for her, since she'll be killed by her big looove."-Klaus said and then disappeared.

"I knew you still cared about me. You're not going to kill me."-Katherine teased, turning towards Stefan.

"Shut up, Katherine. I need you to do something."

"Did you find out who killed Matt?"-Carol Lockwood asked Sheriff Forbes when she entered her office.

"No, but I assume it's the same person that killed those two girls last night."-Sheriff Forbes said.

"How can it be the same person? Those girls were totally ripped apart. Matt had few bites."-Carol said.

"Then it could be anyone. I don't really know what to think anymore. This town is crawling with monsters."-Sheriff said.

"How is that possible? How many vampires are there? "-Carol panicked.

"This town will never be completely safe."-Sheriff Forbes said.

"But you're here to keep it safe? Just do your job! It appears like you overlook everything!"-Carol said.

"Excuse me? I'm the one that got rid of all those vampires."-Sheriff Forbes said.

"That wasn't you, that was Damon. And by the way, if you kept this town safe, those monsters wouldn't even have the urge to come here. "-Carol said.

"You're blaming me, seriously?"-Sheriff said.

"We can't wait for them to attack. We'll lose all the people of Mystic Falls. We have to fight."-Carol said.

"Any suggestions?"-Sheriff said.

"Call Damon."-Carol said.

"We're ready to go, sir."- Old woman said.

"Where am I?"-Darius asked and got up. He was tall, handsome man, with dark hair with few grey highlights. He looked about fifty, but he was gorgeous and pretty muscular. He had eyes dark as night.

"In Italy."-The woman said.

"How did I get here?"-He asked.

"Everything will be clear soon. This guy here will help you keep up with things."-The woman said and pointed at some white man that was in that room with them.

"What century is it?"-Darius asked.

"21st."-She said.

"Now, remain still, sir. I'll fill your head with everything that was going on while you were dead."-The man said.

Darius still looked pretty confused but then that man started blabbing some words so fast that Darius thought he was kinda crazy. But then everything became clear. Klaus is a hybrid. He needs to be stopped.

"We also told some people about you being here. To make them be afraid."-The man said.

"Why did you do that? I like surprises better."-Darius said. He wasn't confused now. He was back to his old self.

"Now we need to go, sir."-Old woman said and all three of them left the house they were in.

Bonnie and Elena were in some bar on the way to Scandicci. Sabrielle told them to stay there and do absolutely nothing while she searches for Damon because he was away for hours.

"Maybe we should go and look for him too?"-Elena told Bonnie.

"Are you insane? We could get killed."-Bonnie said.

"I don't think so. Who can kill us here? We're in some bar in the middle of nowhere."-Elena said.

"Sabrielle, that's who. We need to listen to her."-Bonnie said.

"I'm not afraid of her."-Elena said.

"Well, you should be."-Bonnie said.

"She won't hurt me. She doesn't want to hurt Stefan, or Damon."-Elena said.

"Do you think she dated Stefan?"-Bonnie teased.

"Even if she did, that's in the past."-Elena said.

"Be careful, maybe she steals both of the Salvatores from you."-Bonnie teased again.

"What is up with you? You know me. I only love Stefan. She won't steal Damon from me! Damon is free to date whoever he wants."-Elena said.

"Have you ever said that to him?"-Bonnie asked.

"He doesn't need my permission. I can't just go and tell him "Oh you can date whoever you want, I'm okay with it." It'll seem like I own him. That's not mine to say."-Elena said.

"But he needs to hear it so he can move on. You need to tell him that or he'll never leave you alone."-Bonnie said.

Elena kept quiet.

"But you don't want him to leave you alone, do you? Oh my God."-Bonnie realized.

"No, Bonnie. I want to be his friend, that's all."-Elena said.

"That is what I don't get. He killed Jeremy, at least he attempted to. How can you still want to even speak to him?"-Bonnie asked.

"We talked about this many times, Bonnie. I want to help him. He's Stefan's brother, and he is capable of changing."-Elena said.

"You wouldn't be like this if he really killed Jeremy that time."-Bonnie said.

"Yeah, but he didn't."-Elena said.

"But he would have, only if Jeremy didn't wear that ring. How can you forgive that? That guy just snaps whenever something doesn't go his way."-Bonnie said.

"I didn't forgive him. I'm just making sure that doesn't happen again."-Elena said.

"You're trying to change him?"-Bonnie asked.

"He can be changed. That way many people will be saved."-Elena said.

"Good thinking. I just don't want to see you get hurt, or caught up so you start having feelings for him."-Bonnie said.

"I get it Bonnie. But I'm not Katherine. I will always love Stefan. But in a way, I care about Damon too, but I will never forgive him."-Elena said.

Damon was in front of the bar, and he heard everything. Every single word.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"So you're making sure I don't do something stupid right? You little minx."-Damon thought. He sat on the grass. He looked devastated. He remembered how she kissed him when he was about to die. That was a pity kiss, he knew that. She did it just so he can die peacefully. But she didn't really forgive him. Maybe she was feeling relieved because she'll finally get rid of him? Dark thoughts were running through his head. He felt hurt, betrayed. He wanted to just storm into the bar and kill everyone in it. His heart started beating faster and faster. He got up and ran to the forest next to that bar. He saw a guy cutting wood. His fangs came out and just when he was about to jump on that guy and chop his head off and drink his blood, someone yelled "DAMON!" He turned around and saw Sabrielle coming his way. That man looked at them.

"Where the hell have you been?"-She asked.

He still looked like a monster who was about to rip his prey. He was looking at her angrily.

When she realized that he didn't want to respond, she ran with vampire speed and compelled that man to run to safety. At least that's what she thought she did. He ran but Damon went after him.

"Dammit I forgot that humans are slow."-Sabrielle said and ran in Damon's direction, caught him and threw him on the ground. He wanted to get up but Sabrielle sat on top of him. That guy continued running and soon Damon couldn't see him.

"What is wrong with you?"-Sabrielle asked him.

He didn't respond. He was furious.

"We can sit here all day. I'm not in a hurry. Stefan can wait."-Sabrielle said.

Damon's face got back to normal.

"She didn't forgive me."-Damon said slowly still catching breath.

"She didn't forgive you what exactly?"-Sabrielle asked. She knew he was talking about Elena. Who else would he be talking about?

"She didn't forgive me anything. She lied so I could feel better because I was dying."-Damon said now sounding calmer.

"Can you blame her? I mean, really? It's good that she even felt like you needed to die in peace. Someone else, like me, would have left you to die in misery. "-Sabrielle said and got up. He got up too and they went and sat on the grass next to each other.

"But she said she liked me just the way I am. That means she likes everything about me."-Damon said.

"Are you kidding me? She'd be insane if she liked everything about you. She just accepted it. And get this, you were dying, so she lied to make you feel better because she cares about you, which I don't get but okay, that's her brain."-Sabrielle said.

"But she cares about me. That means she kinda forgave me, right? Because she still cares, after all."-Damon said.

"Are you dumb or you're just playing dumb?"-Sabrielle said.

"I don't understand her at all. I mean, I didn't. But now I understand everything. She's nice to me because she's afraid that I'll hurt somebody. That's what she said."-Damon said.

"She cares about you. That's totally weird in my opinion, but she does. But I don't think she loves you the same way she loves Stefan."-Sabrielle said.

"She said she wants to be my friend. But I still feel like she just wants to manipulate me so I don't do something stupid."-Damon said.

"Everyone does that. That's understandable. Because, you're kinda crazy…"-She said and then he looked at her questionably so she continued "And you got your answer. She wants to be your friend."

"She didn't forgive me…She never will…"-Damon repeated.

Sabrielle slapped him.

"Get over yourself, you crybaby!"-She said.

He grabbed her neck.

"Don't ever do that again!"-He threatened.

"Oh shut up, you can't do anything to me. How many times I have to tell you that until you get it?"-Sabrielle said.

He left her neck alone.

"How can you be so calm about everything? You've been dead. Aren't you supposed to chase people down the street and suck their blood like crazy?"-Damon asked.

"I took some blood from the blood bank. And I kinda sucked all the blood out of that guy you all liked…That did it for me."-Sabrielle said.

"And you don't seem guilty at all about killing Matt."-Damon said.

"I'm a vampire. I don't care about anyone."-Sabrielle said.

"But you care about Stefan? You want to help him."-Damon said.

"My priority is to kill Klaus."-Sabrielle said.

"But you said it yourself that Stefan needs all the friends he can get. So that means you're his friend and that you care."-Damon said.

"That way yes. But I don't know if I'd cry if he died or I'd just move on."-Sabrielle said.

"You're lying. You just want not to care, but you do. Just like me. And it sucks."-Damon said.

"Emotions are overrated. I feel better when I turn them off."-Sabrielle said.

Damon looked at her. He could see the pain in her eyes. It was undeniable. Even though she was trying to hide it, he could see right through her.

"But you can't really turn them off. You just have to pretend."-Damon said.

"Who told you that? You can totally turn them off."-Sabrielle said.

"One girl I knew. She was about 500 years old."-Damon said.

"Well, you can still turn them off, you're young."-Sabrielle said.

"I can't anymore. I've tried."-Damon said.

Sabrielle felt bad for him so she took his hand in a comforting way.

But then that guy that ran from them came back. And about 30 people were walking behind him with torches and weapons.

"There they are!"-He said and pointed at Damon and Sabrielle.

"What the hell?"-Sabrielle said.

"He must've seen when my fangs came out."-Damon said.

"He pretended to be compelled!"-Sabrielle said.

People were getting closer and closer.

They had stake guns and they were shooting in Damon's and Sabrielle's direction. They mostly missed but Sabrielle got staked a few times. She didn't feel anything so she tried to compel them all. She couldn't do it. They were all on vervain.

"What is wrong with these people?"-Damon commented while he was trying to escape the stakes.

"Shut up, and run!"-Sabrielle said and pushed Damon to run. In that moment big stake hit her in the heart. She fell.

"Run Damon!"-She yelled to him.

"I won't leave you!"-He said and came to her and took the stake out of her. She screamed.

Then some guy threw a stake at Damon. It hit him in the stomach.

"Ouch."-Damon complained.

"I SAID RUN!"-Sabrielle said while she was getting up.

Damon didn't want to run. He didn't want to be a coward. He took a stake out of his stomach.

And then he helped Sabrielle take all the stakes out of her body.

"I guess I need to kill them all now. I didn't want to hurt humans, but I guess I need now."-Sabrielle said calmly, like a true lady.

Then someone threw a stake in Damon's direction while he wasn't looking. The stake was heading in the direction of his heart. But Sabrielle jumped in front of him and took that stake in her chest.

"Don't you get it? They can't kill me! But they can kill you! So go!"-Sabrielle said and then attacked those people one by one. Damon successfully escaped the stakes that were heading in the direction of his heart but he was still hurt. When he looked around, everyone was dead. Sabrielle killed all of them.

"Why didn't you run when I told you to run dammit?"-Sabrielle said and pulled some daggers out of her body and tried to repair her messy hair. Then she complained quietly to herself "This is vintage, bastards." when she looked at her ruined dress.

"I didn't want to leave you alone."-Damon answered to her previous question. She was still occupied with her dress, daggers and hair.

"I would've been fine. You, on the other hand, could've been dead."-Sabrielle said while still doing her hair.

"You killed a bunch of humans, how do you feel about that?"-Damon asked.

"They saw me. I couldn't compel them because they were on vervain. But they recognized me. Someone sent them on us. This way that someone can be warned."-Sabrielle said.

"But bunch of humans, you said you didn't want to hurt humans."-Damon said.

"Sometimes you just have to. So you can survive. "-Sabrielle said.

"You saved my life. I owe you one."-Damon said.

"Don't be silly. You owe me two. I saved you two times."-Sabrielle said and smiled and they both got back to the bar.

"Where have you been?"-Elena asked when she saw them.

"It's not important. We have to go."-Damon said coldly.

"But you have to tell me. You two look really messy."-Elena said when she saw them all bloody and with ripped clothes.

"I don't have to do anything."-Damon answered.

"Follow me."-Sabrielle said, ignoring Elena's previous demand and they all got back to the car.

Katherine was running through the woods. She was looking around to see if anyone was following her.

"Very clever, Stefan. And how am I supposed to find Damon and the others now?"-She commented. She was pissed off but she continued running.

"Give me one beer."-Jeremy said when he approached Ariadne at the bar.

"Aren't you a bit young for that?"-She asked him.

"Just give me. It was a rough night."-He said.

He was still seeing Anna and Vicki. And without Bonnie's help, he wasn't able to do anything to them. They appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared. It was all extremely annoying for Jeremy. They kept blabbing how he never broke up with them, how they are not over, how he's something like Grim Reaper, like he brings bad luck and something like that. Vicki was always complaining about Damon and her plan for revenge, even though she was a ghost and she couldn't do anything but annoy Jeremy. Anna kept saying that she loves him and that he needs to be with her, that Bonnie doesn't deserve him, etc. So he needed alcohol to reduce the pain.

"I won't give you alcohol, kid."-Ariadne said.

Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"Okay then give me a soda."-He said.

"Coming right up."-She said and then poured him a glass of soda.

"Who are you by the way? I've never seen you here."-Jeremy asked.

"I'm new here."-She said.

Then Alaric joined Jeremy at the bar.

"Don't do something stupid, Jeremy. We'll deal with those two later."-Alaric whispered.

Ariadne coughed.

"Oh, I didn't notice you there."-Alaric said and turned his head in her direction.

"Ooooh I see you found a way to earn money."-He commented after he recognized her. Her wavy ash blonde almost brown hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked at him with her green eyes and he laughed.

"You two know each other?"-Jeremy asked.

"Yeah. Well, kinda. I bumped into her few days ago. She was out of money. But I guess she's fine now."-Alaric said.

Jeremy looked at Ariadne questionably.

"What he said."-She just agreed with Alaric and went to the other side of the bar to give drinks to the other costumers.

Then some man approached her.

"Hello. I'm new here, and I was wondering if you've seen this girl in this bar today?"-The man said and showed Ariadne the picture of Elena on his phone.

Ariadne just stared at the picture for a minute.

"Um, you present? I asked you something, since you work here, you must've seen something."-He said.

"Katherine."-She thought when she saw the picture.

"Wanna have a closer look?"-He asked and handed her the phone. Their hands touched. She felt something. She felt what he is.

"I haven't seen her. I thought I did, but that was someone else."-Ariadne said.

"Oh really? That's all then. Thank you."-He said, took his phone and left.

"He was too nice."-Ariadne thought.

Meanwhile, Alaric was trying to convince Jeremy to go to school which he refused so Alaric went to school alone.

"Tyler, the full moon is coming up. Are you sure you're gonna be okay alone there?"-Caroline asked Tyler on the way to school.

"I will be okay. I don't want to put you in danger."-Tyler said.

Caroline smiled and said: "Look at us. Going to school, like everything is alright."

But that smile wasn't sincere. She was feeling sad inside.

"It will be good for us."-Tyler said.

"Maybe."-Caroline said.

"I can't believe what I'm saying. I actually said that school will be good for something."-Tyler said and laughed.

"Yeah, well…times change."-Caroline said.

Then that same guy that visited Mystic Grill came up to them.

"Hey!"-He said to them.

They turned around.

"Hey?"-Caroline said.

"Have you seen this girl?"-The guy asked and showed her a picture of Elena.

Caroline felt like something is going on so she played dumb.

"Nope. She hasn't been at school."-Caroline answered. That wasn't exactly a lie, but she didn't want to say anything that might give him the opportunity to investigate more.

Tyler was about to say something but Caroline just gave him one of her looks that meant they're done talking.

"Oh, well…Thank you anyway."-He said and looked at Tyler questionably and then left.

"What was that about?"-Tyler asked.

"He seems suspicious. I'm going to find out more later."-Caroline said.

Katherine was still running through the woods of Italy. There weren't many woods, but the ones she found seemed like they took forever to pass through.

It was getting dark but she ran and ran. Then she tripped.

"Damn, why does this keep happening to me?"-She commented. And then cursed a little while getting up.

Then she heard some people. They were complaining about something. And then she accidentally stepped on someone's leg. She saw it was a human body.

"Oh great, food."-She commented. And when she was about to bite that person, he got up. She could see it was a man.

Then she heard more and more voices and saw some people getting up. There were so many of them.

"I guess we need blood now."-Someone said.

Katherine was still confused about the whole situation so she just ran from there.

People continued getting up and fixing their bones.

End of the episode.
