After Elena burning her house down, Brie goes to the Mikaelson's house to talk to Klaus, even though she rather speak to Klaus but she needed to do this. She drives up to the house and switches the car off. She sighs before getting out the car. She knocks on the door and waits for someone to answer. Klaus opens the door. Brie is standing outside and grimaces at him and she walks in the house without an invitation. "Ah, what an unpleasant surprise"
Brie strides into the parlour, a piece of paper in her hand "So I just came up with a list"
Klaus shuts the door and follows Brie into the room. "It's called "Things You Suck At" She stops and turns to face Klaus. "Number one: Finding Katherine. Ever. Number two: covering up your secret phone conversations with that little backstabber Hayley" She the phone transcripts a bit and puts them down on the end table "Yeah, so, where is she? What does she know about Katherine?"
" I should help you?"
Brie starts nodding "Mhm"
"After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned me in the Gilbert living room?"
Brie walks closer to Klaus "You might want to prioritise, Klaus. You have much bigger problems"
Klaus looks at her blankly.]
"Katherine has the cure" Klaus looks displeased by this news "My guess is she's gonna want to cram it down your throat. You help me find Katherine, I'll get the cure, I'll give it to Elena, everybody wins. Just let me question Hayley about Katherine"
Klaus smiles and walks towards Brie "Can't help you, love. Hayley's off limits" He walks past Brie and sits down on the sofa. "Although, I did have a run in with a vampire who may know where Katerina is" Brie turns around and looks at him "Too bad for you, I bit halfway through his bloody neck. He probably won't have much time for chit-chat"
Brie glared at him and rolled her eyes, she knew he wasn't going to give her any idea to where Hayley was laying low about. Lucky for her her protecting her or she would be dead right about now. Brie started walking towards the door. She tried to open the door but Klaus vamp speeded in-front of her with a smirk on his face. "Did I say you could go love"
"Nope, but I don't need your permission as to when I can leave" Brie said trying to push passed him. But he was still blocking her way.
"Cmon love, the fun is only just started" he smiled as he stroked her cheek. She moves away from his reach.
"Don't you dare touch me" Brie said getting angry with the Original Hybrid. She lifted her hand to slap him but got interrupted by a voice on the staircase"
"Brianna" she turned around and saw Elijah slowly striding down the stairway.
"Elijah, I was just leaving" she said glaring back at Klaus who was still smiling.
"Please don't leave on my account" He walks closer to her "Care to join my in the sitting room away from my brother's company" he said moving slightly to the left so she could pass. She nodded and walks towards the sitting room. Elijah looked at his brother with an unamused look and followed Brie. He closed the door to block out his brothers prying eyes.
"So what brings you out this late at night" Elijah says as gestures her to sit down.
"Its been a very long night, really don't want to get into it right now but I need to find out whee Hayley is at"
Elijah raises an eyebrow "And why would you want to know where the young wolf if?"
"Maybe because she's in coo-hoots with your ex misses. Katherine as I have heard you had a past with her" Brie crossed her legs "So has everyone by the sound of things" she mumbled so Elijah couldn't hear but he did and gestured a chuckle to tell her he did hear her comment.
"Katerina is back in town?"
"You didn't know?" She asked as Elijah blankly looked at her "Guess not. Well she is and she has the cure"
"How does she know about the cure and how did she find it?"
"Good question, the question that everyone wants answered. But we think she followed us on the island. But then again Hayley knew about the cure through Tyler so got an idea of who could of told her"
"Why are you in such need of this cure anyways?
"We needed it for Elena so we could all get the answer we needed to know. Stefan or Damon. Cause of the sired bond everyone thinks Elena is only in love with Damon because of it but obviously shes has been persistent and wants to take the cure to prove everyone wrong that she is in love with Damon not because of the sire bond" Elijah continues to listen "But when Katherine found the cure, she killed Jeremy on the way of getting the cure and now Elena has her emotions turned off and shes gone insane so we are in desperate need of the cure, more than ever"
Elijah nodded in understandment "Even though shes motionless, you need to keep her right. She wont listen at first but you need to keep being persistent it will get through to her eventually. You cant give up on her, until you find the cure you need to keep pushing her to the right way of things and keep her away of the bad things"
Brie looks at him "I would never give up on her. No one would. She my best friend Elijah. I will find Katherine and take the cure back, even if it kills me"
Elijah looked at her in amazement, he couldn't believe she would do anything in her power to find the cure for someone who isn't herself. He admired that about her "I trust that you wouldn't give up on Miss Gilbert but if you died I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I wasn't the one who couldn't save you"
It's morning. Elena is showering in Damon's bathroom. Damon and Stefan are in his bedroom having a conversation. Elena turns her head so she can hear the two of them better.
"So that's the plan? You're gonna take her back to school?"
"Look, do you think I want to go to school and play chaperone? You can't go because you're not a student. Besides, you've got to go look for Katherine. I mean, Elena needs this cure now more than ever"
Brie enters the room in a bath robe. The Salvatore brothers turn to face her "Not that anyone asked me, but I think taking her back to school is a great idea"
"Why are you here?" Damon says raising his eyes and looks at her up and down and wonders why shes in a bath robe.
"Uh, blame it on your fancy water filters. Your house has the only vervain-free showers in town"
"Oh, yeah. The mayor put vervain in the water supply" He clicks his tongue "So many people to kill"
"Yeah, Caroline's mom says it's about to get worse, so she could use a little help"
Stefan looks back at Damon.
"Fine, I'll go after the psychotic doppelgänger. Stefan, you wanna go talk to the Sheriff?"
Stefan nods.
Damon looks back at Brie "You take her to school" Brie smiles.
"Sounds like fun" Elena has emerged from her shower, completely naked. Stefan and Damon openly stare at her body, while Brie averts her eyes, smiling awkwardly. "What? It's nothing you guys haven't seen before" Elena wraps a towel around her body, covering herself up. Stefan and Damon share a look with similar nonplussed expressions. "And as for the, uh, "going to school" idea. I've got nothing better to do"
Stefan clears his throat and looks over at Damon, motioning toward Elena with his head. Damon walks towards Elena. "Elena, it would make me very happy if you went to school today. And studied hard you know, get involved in whatever activities, and please, for me, no matter what, don't eat anyone. Okay?" Elena nods understandingly.
Students are milling about the school grounds. Inside, Elena approaches a bulletin board and pulls off a flyer advertising a memorial for Jeremy. Without any noticeable reaction, she moves on to another flyer, this one advertising the Mystic Falls Cheerleading Invitational. Elsewhere in a hallway, Caroline is talking on the phone. "Hey, Tyler. It's me checking in. Things are just getting back to normal here, sort of. Elena's not quite there, but we're working on it" She sees Elena across the hall, crumpling up a flyer "Look, I know that you can't call me back, but I keep thinking if I just leave these messages that when you do come home, it'll be like you never left...or that's the hope. Well, I'd better go. I love you, Tyler"
Matt approaches Caroline with Brie "Hey, have you seen Bonnie?"
"Yeah, I called her last night. She's fine. She's just a little drained from, you know, everything"
"I have an idea" Elena said approaching them, holding up a flyer "Can you get me my old spot back on the cheerleading squad?"
"I mean, technically, yeah. I'm captain, but I thought you hated cheerleading"
"I did, but now I think it would be really fun to jump around and toss people up in the air. It's not like the routines are that hard"
Caroline glances at Matt and Brie, then smiling at Elena "I think that would make Damon really happy" Elena smiles vacantly back and walks off happily. Caroline turns to Brie "Get your uniform back on, your looking after her" She said as she watches Elena strut down the hallway.
The cheerleading invitational is underway as Elena, in her cheer uniform, observes the crowds. Inside, Brie approaches her cheerfully "The uniform still fits. You look fantastic" Elena twirls to show off her uniform "We are totally gonna kick Grove Hills' ass"
"Yeah. Should be fun" Elena uses her heightened vampire hearing to listen to a girl across the gymnasium.
"Oh, my god. You guys, I left my makeup bag on the bus"
"I'm gonna go stretch" Brie says as Elena is half-listening while she fixates on the girl. Brie walks away and the girl walks past Elena out of the gymnasium.
Outside, the girl walks up into a school bus and retrieves her bag. She turns around and suddenly Elena is right behind her " I like your ribbon"
The girl looks at Elena, awkwardly "Um, thanks"
Elena stares at the ribbon in the girl's hair "I want it"
The girls smiles "Yeah, but I'm using it, so go get your own" She tries walking around her but Elena moves into her way.
Elena's eyes vamp out, she snarls and launches onto the girl's neck. She continues feeding while the girl splutters and groans in pain. Elena, still drinking from the girl's neck, reaches around and pulls the blue ribbon out of the girl's hair
Later, back inside the gym, Elena has the blue ribbon tied around her ponytail.
Brie approaches her. "Hey, where were you? We're going on any minute"
"I'm here, aren't I?"
"What's with the ribbon? That's not even our colours"
Elena simply gives her a cute sly smile, twirls her ponytail, and walks away while Brie watches her uneasily. She then catches sight of the girl Elena fed on; she now has a scarf tied around her neck and is pulling at it uncomfortably. Upset, Brie catches up to Elena. "Are you out of your mind?"
Elena turns round to face her "What is your problem?"
"Feeding on the competition? Hello. Did you not hear what Damon told you?" Brie said angrily.
"I did, but who cares? I'll do whatever I want"
Stefan approaches them "Everything all right?"
"Yeah, as soon as the queen backs off, everything will be fine" Elena says calmly.
Elena walks off to warm up with the other Mystic Falls cheerleaders while Brie and Stefan watch her carefully "Remember how Damon sired her to behave?" Stefan nods "It didn't really work"
They hear a voice over the PA system say, "Up next: Mystic Falls' very own Lady Timberwolves" and the crowd in the gym cheers. Elena walks away from Stefan but runs into Brie "No way. You are not cheering"
"Let's see you try and stop me" Elena continues walking past Brie. In the gym, the announcer says, "Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for your very own Lady Timberwolves" while the girls get in position and the crowd cheers. Led by Caroline's "Ready!", the team starts their routine: "L-O-L, O-M-G, you're looking at Mystic Falls Varsity! B-E-A-T, beat those Cats." Three girls, including Elena, toss Brie into the air, but when she comes down Elena backs away and Brie falls straight to the ground. The crowd gasps in shock while the rest of the team rush over to Brie. Elena looks at Brie, who is still on the ground, then at Stefan across the room, daring them to react, before turning and walking away.
Elena is still dancing on a table, pouring alcohol into someone's mouth. Stefan and Brie are dancing together, laughing and talking. Elena sees them enjoying themselves, jumps down from the table and approaches them. "Look who finally joined the party"
"Yeah. Why? Are you jealous or something?"
Elena chuckles" No. That would imply emotions, and we've already established those are useless. No. You guys look good together" she says smiling "By all means, Brie, just take him out for a spin. He could use it" Elena walks away. Brie and Stefan exchange awkward looks. A random girls walks in and she starts to move past Elena but Elena grabs her arm and stops her "Why don't you have a drink?"
"Eh take your hand off me" she girl said struggling to get out of Elena's grip.
Elena eyes vamping out briefly "Either you have a drink, or I will"
The girl starts reaching for a bottle to use as a weapon but Elena pins her against a wall. Brie vamp-speeds over to them and pushes Elena away. Brie growls and starts to go for Elena but Stefan stops her "Brie, calm down"
Brie was struggling against Stefan "Calm down? I'm gonna wring her skinny little neck!" Suddenly Elena vamp-speeds out of the house, leaving a cup spinning on the patio outside.
Brie and Stefan are out in the woods looking for Elena. "Elena! Where the hell is she?"
"Right where she wants to be. This is completely calculated. She drew all those people to the house, waited for an opportunity to distract us, and now she's free"
"I can't believe she's doing this. I mean, she trying to hurt innocent by standers, Stefan"
"All right, listen. You search the woods, I'll check the road. If you see her, don't hesitate. Just snap her neck, got it?"
Brie nods her head "Yeah"He turns and walks away; Brie continues searching the woods. "Elena! Don't make me fight you, Elena! I'm stronger than you, and I don't want to hurt you"
Elena vamp-speeds into the clearing, throws Brie against a tree then throws her down onto the ground. Elena gets on top of Brie, holding her down at the throat "Who's gonna get hurt?"
Brie throws Elena off and they both stand up, facing each other "Not bad. Not technically good, but then again, Alaric didn't train you. You were probably too busy butting into people's business!"
Elena swings her leg up to kick Brie but Brie dodges her. Brie tries to grab her but Elena grabs Brie's throat. Brie tries to loosen Elena's grip but then Elena headbutts her. Brie puts a hand to her forehead "Oh, just stop!. This isn't you, and you know it! You hurt innocent people, Elena. How far are you gonna take this?"
"Are you trying to make me feel bad for hurting people? Don't you get it? I don't care. I mean, maybe you should try to turn it all off. Who knows? You won't have to feel guilty about all the dirty thoughts you have about Elijah"
"Shut up" Brie says getting angry.
"Make me" Brie strikes Elena and they engage in hand-to-hand combat. Elena is holding Brie's fist "You fight like a girl"
Elena breaks Brie's arm, snaps a small branch off of a nearby tree and stabs her in the stomach with it. Brie falls to her knees, Elena pulls the branch out of Brie and is about to stake her through the back when Stefan vamp-speeds into the clearing with Damon and restrains her.
Elena was struggling against his hold "Let go of me!" Damon takes Elena from Stefan.
Damon was fighting to keep hold of Elena "II admit, under any other circumstances, this would be a major turn-on"
Stefan kneels beside Brie "Get her out of here. Go" Damon vamp-runs away with Elena while Brie and Stefan catch their breath "You all right?"
"You mean besides the fact that my best friend tried to kill me?" Brie said sitting up and slumping up against a near by tree.
Stefan was sitting on the the ground across from her "Look, it's not her. You have to remember that. With her emotions off, she's the worst version of herself"
"So how do we get her back? Or what if we can't? Why would she choose to turn her emotions back on? She's an orphan. She just lost her brother. Her life sucks, Stefan. So why would she come back to us?"
Stefan begins leaning forward "Even when I was at my worst, Elena didn't give up on me. So we can't give up on her"
Brie nods slightly. Stefan holds out his hand.
"Deal?" He says with a small smile. Brie smiles back a little, then reaches out and shakes his hand.
The next morning, Brie is collecting trash from around the house, which is still a disaster after Elena's party. Finding a cup that still has alcohol in it, she thriftily drinks the last sip before tossing it in the bin. Klaus enters the room. "Desperate times, I take it?"
Brie is not looking at him "What are you doing here?"
"Not judging you, for starters, although if you are determined to get drunk, then perhaps I might recommend something a little more sanitary?" Maintaining eye contact, Brie drains another cup and throws it defiantly into the bin she's carrying. "Well, then. You showed me"
Brie returns to her trash collecting "Shouldn't you be out chasing Tyler to the ends of the earth? Or are there still some hopes and dreams you wanna crush around here?"
"Depends. Do you happen to know where the young Brutus is?"
"I know where he's not, with Caroline. And he gave Matt the deed to the house, so he's gone for good"
Klaus nods and walks closer to her "Tyler made it his life's mission to kill me. You can't hate me for driving him away"
"Oh I can, and I do. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to spiralling, so go away"
They stare at one another until Stefan enters the room "Actually, I asked him to be here. We need his help. I think Silas is in Mystic Falls"
Klaus is pouring himself a drink while talking to Brie and Stefan. "So some blood went missing from a few hospitals. What about Elena? Don't vampires with their humanity off tend to overindulge in human blood, or were you the exception?" He turns to look at Stefan.
"It's not Elena" Stefan said, he knew it wasn't Elena since she was away to New York with Damon.
"Well, let's say for a moment that it was Silas. I'm struggling to see how this affects me"
"Look. Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love, but he's supernatural, so if he takes the cure and dies, he gets stuck on the Other Side. But if he destroys the Other Side altogether, he can take the cure, die, and pass on, but in destroying it, every dead supernatural being will return to our side"
Brie understands what Stefan was staying and joins in with the conversation "That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire. I wonder how many of those you personally killed. Care yet?"
Klaus starts smiling "My interest is piqued" he looks at Stefan "How do we stop him?"
"Bonnie said Silas needs to complete three massacres to do this spell. Before Professor Shane died, he convinced the pastor to blow up the Council. Next, he had you kill your hybrids, and now he only needs one more massacre, so if he's here, that's what he's doing. We need to find him".
