They all walked into the large dining room, one by one, all there for the same reason. There was no fear in the air, only anger and determination. Damon stood against the wall as he watched them all walk in and take a seat, waiting for his explantation and plan. He looked from person to person; Elena sure had a lot of friends. The table was occuiped by Caroline, Alaric, Tyler, Matt, Bonnie, Isobel, Anna, and even his own brother. Stefan stood up and made his way quietly to Damon as he pulled him aside.
"Look, I know we haven't been on the greatest of terms recently. But we're on the same team. We'll get her back, I promise," he said lightly as Damon nodded in understandment before turning his attention back to the room full of people.
"What happened out there Damon?" Caroline asked.
"It's a very long story, that's about to be explained in a matter of seconds. Before I begin, however, I have to know, how many of you in here can I trust?" he asked and watched as everyone rasied their hands.
"In 1864, there were two brothers who were in love with this woman, Katherine. Katherine was a beautiful woman, someone who could pass as Elena's twin. The brothers didn't notice anything unusal at first, until she snuck her fangs into their necks and started drinking their blood. See, Katherine was a vampire. But the brothers didn't care, they loved her, or at least thought she did. Katherine was a very powerful vampire who always got what she wanted, even if she had to compell the person in order for them to listen to her. The brothers were compelled into loving her. One night, the city council begin killing all vampires. The brothers' father, Guiseppe, was on the council. He dragged Katherine away from the two while they fought to save her life. They were killed by their own father while trying to save her. Hours later, they woke up. Hunger hit them the minute the air reached their noses. The younger brother was the first to feed, see he'd gone back to visit his father, who had realized what'd happened and try to kill him. Not knowing about his strength, he knocked his father back, sending blood everywhere's. That night he drank blood for the first time, and found a young slave for his brother to feed on. That night they became vampires. And well, here we are nearly a hundred and fifty years later," smirked Damon as he watched everyone staring at him with blank faces.
"So that- that thing I saw, that was a vampire?" Caroline asked.
"That'd be correct," Damon replied.
"She was Katherine, wasn't she?" Jeremy questioned.
"Ding Ding Ding," Damon stated.
"But I thought you said your father killed her?" asked Tyler.
"Thought so too, up until about three months ago. The little bitch escaped, and didn't even bother to come find me after a hundred and fourty-six years of searching for her," Damon replied through grinding teeth.
"Are there more of you?" asked Caroline.
"Why don't you ask Anna and Isobel?" Damon smirked as he pointed out the other two vampires.
"Why haven't you killed us yet?" questioned Matt.
"Well, Stefan here is on a puppy only diet, and well, I one the other hand, allowed Elena's bickering voice to get inside my head and stop me every time before I bit a human," he sighed.
"How can you walk in the sun?" Caroline asked, causing Damon to roll his eyes as he raised his hand and wiggled his fingers.
"Do you sparkel?" she asked once more.
"Are you kidding me?" Damon spit out with a disguisted look.
"Anyway, back to the story," Isobel said as she stood up and made her way to the front of the room, "Elena is my only child. Katherine has taken my daughter, and plans to kill her. I could careless about my daughter, as soon as she's safe, I'm out of her. But I don't want to see her killed."
"And if any of you spread one ounce of this meeting to anyone besides the people in this room, I'll personally see that you're killed," Damon threatened as he stared at every person in the room, causing an evil tension to fall upon everyone.
"What my brother means," Stefan said as he walked in front of Damon, "is that we're all here for the same goal, saving Elena. Just because we're a bit different doesn't mean anything. If we wanted to hurt you, we would have already done it."
"How are we supposed to help rescue Elena though? Aren't we putting ourselves in danger?" Tyler asked.
"Ric, I leave the boring part to you," Damon said as he took a seat at the table.
"You all know the legends of vampires right? Stakes, garlic, crosses, etc. None of these are true, except stakes. See this wooden tool here," he said as he held up a stake, "vampires worst nightmare. See this flower right here in each of these rings? Stops a vampire from using mind control on you, it's called vervain. Wear this at all times. Damon, Stefan, Isobel, Anna, Bonnie, and I will handle Katherine. We should be able to stop her,"
"And you four, will be the ones saving Elena. Carry at least four stakes each, who knows how many vampires are in that place," Damon finished.
"So, how's ready to kill the bitch of the east?" Damon smirked as he started to hand out the stakes as Alaric went around passing out the rings.

Elena rested her back against the stone wall as she tried to think of an possible way of escaping. It was only a matter of time before Stefan or Damon busted through the walls to save her, it had to be. They wouldn't just leave her to defend herself against Katherine of all people.
"Ms. Gilbert," Katherine smiled as she stopped in front of the iron gates blocking Elena from escaping, "dinner's ready."
Elena looked horrified as Katherine dropped a bloody hand through the iron gates. She felt a scream leave her mouth as she recognized John's ring on the hand. "Where is he?"
"My guess? Hell," laughed Kathernie as her eyes turned black exposing the veins that protuded from the lower eyelids.
"You killed him," Elena whispered in disbelief.
"Of course I did, I have every right to. It was because of him that I was almost burned to death," she scretched.
"He was a human, Katherine. He made mistakes," Elena shout back out.
"Elena, darling, when will you ever learn that I do not care about the human race," she said forcefully as she smiled, showing her fangs just a little before walking off and leaving the small girl alone once agian.
