Day One

Morning - Secluded Country Area

A black SUV drove on a deserted road, taking a right turn into a parking lot, pulling over next to another black vehicle.

A man got out of the SUV, closing the door, walking around to the back of the car, to the other car's window.

Another man was inside, rolling down the tinted window down a crack. "Where are they?"

"In the trunk." Man 1 answered. "I did exactly what you said."

"Good." Man 2 told him. "Put them in the back." Man 1 walked over to the SUV's trunk, opening it, revealing Elizabeth, Emma and Elena, still in their blood stained clothes. Man 1 lifted Elena from the trunk, carrying her to the other car. Man 2 popped open the trunk of his car with a button from the inside. Man 1 put Elena inside, walking back to the SUV, lifting Emma and Elizabeth out of the trunk, walking over to the other car, putting them in that trunk next to Elena. He closed the trunk, walking toward Man 2 in the car, talking through the cracked tinted window. "Thank you for your help."

"Is there anything else?" Man 1 asked.

"One more thing" Man 2 answered. "Come closer. Please." Man 1 leaned closer. Man 2 rolled down the window all of the way, using his gloved hand to wave the man forward even more. "Closer."

Man 1 leaned closer.

Man 2 bared his vampire fangs, biting him on the neck, feeding, careful not to go into the sunlight that was outside of the car, ignoring the kicks against the car and the screams until he killed Man 1, pushing the body to the ground, rolling the window back up, driving away with Elizabeth, Emma and Elena still in the back, unwaken by the noise.

Gilbert House - Bathroom

(Song:) We Rule the World - Dragonette

Jeremy was brushing his teeth, rinsing out his mouth with water once he finished. He put his toothbrush down, looking into the mirror in front of him, taking a deep breath, turning toward Emma and Elena's bedroom door, knocking. "Yo, Emma, Elena!"

There was no answer.

Jeremy opened the door, peering inside to see that neither of the beds had been slept in and that her his sisters weren't there, and hadn't been all night. He was unsuspecting, figuring that they would have been with Stefan or Tyler. He sighed, shaking his head, turning away.

...

Forbes House - Eliza's Room

Liam was getting ready for school.

Isabella and Caroline were standing behind her in the room.

Isabella looked at Liam . "Gotta admit, even I was impressed with your handiwork yesterday, Human Ken."

Liam turned toward them, smiling. "All I had to do was follow directions."

Caroline shook her head teasingly. "Humble. Always humble." Liam smiled. "And while you were crucial in helping us take down Katherine last night, we weren't able to stop everything. Sarah attacked Tyler, and he pushed her away, and she tripped, and she fell, and she hit her head."

"Does Matt remember anything?" Liam asked.

"Hmm, he thinks he blacked out." Caroline answered. "But I think they were both compelled by Katherine. That's why I covered for Tyler and said it was an accident."

"Yeah, I don't understand that." Isabella told them. "The guy is a tool."

"Gee, duh." Caroline told them. "Tyler getting blamed for Sarah's death just opens up questions that he can't answer, and do you really think that it's a good idea for him to tell his mom he's a werewolf? Or that Rosie could turn into a werewolf if she killed someone?"

"Well, no." Liam answered.

"And that werewolf road leads straight to vampire boulevard." Caroline told them. "I thought I was thinking fast on my feet."

"Where is your mom?" Isabella asked.

"Leading the search party for Aimee Bradley." Liam answered. "They haven't found her body yet."

"Oh, teens today and their underage drinking." Isabella told them. "Tragic." She looked at Caroline. "Wait, did you see Tyler's eyes turn yellow?"

"They were more gold with amber highlights." Caroline told them.

Isabella nodded sarcastically. "Oh."

"Can he turn into a wolf now?" Liam asked.

"Only on a full moon." Isabella answered. "But now he has increased strength and who knows what else. I wonder how much Mason told him and Rosie. I hope he was more forthcoming to them than my family has been to me."

Isabella crossed her arms over her chest.

Liam looked at her sympathetically. "How are you, Isabella?"

"Pissed at Stefan." Isabella answered. "Avoiding him and Damon. Eve wants to talk about what I found out, but I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna forget about it for the time being."

"We can take a hint." Liam told her.

"Then take the hint." Liam told them.

Liam and Caroline nodded.

...

Foyer

Liam, Isabella and Caroline walked toward the door.

Isabella looked at Caroline. "Do Rosie and Tyler know about us?" Caroline didn't answer, texting someone. "Hey!" Caroline looked up. "What did you tell them?"

"Nothing, really." Caroline answered. "I was just planning to leave the rest for Emma to deal with, since they know that she knows, and they trust her more than anyone right now."

"Yeah, but we agreed that Emma wouldn't tell them about us." Isabella told them.

"Then I don't think she did." Caroline told them. "They seemed really freaked out, and honestly, I felt kind of bad for them."

Liam hesitated, obviously feeling the same. "We're late for school."

"Right." Isabella told him. "Liam, if you want to drop the hint to your guys' mom that Aimee's body is at the bottom of a ravine with a cracked spine... might save your mom some time."

Isabella opened the door for them.

Liam and Caroline walked out, leaving.

Isabella walked out, leaving, closing the door behind them.

Mystic Falls High School - Outside

Tyler and Rosie walked toward the school.

"How can you even think about going to school today?" Rosie asked. "After last night..."

Tyler seemed scared and freaked out, controlling it fairly well, looking at Rosie. "I have to keep pretending everything's okay." Rosie looked at him in concern. Tyler looked away, forcing himself to push the emotions down and lock them away. "Look, let's just go, okay?"

Rosie nodded timidly.

...

Inside - Hallway

Tyler walked down the hallway.

There were MISSING signs of Aimee Bradley.

Sarah's locker was covered with pictures, memorial candles, and stuffed animals.

Rosie was standing at her locker, a few lockers away from Sarah's memorial locker. She looked incredibly guilty, looking down.

Tyler walked toward his locker on the other side of the hall. He became so overwhelmed he accidentally broke the combo lock off of his locker.

Rosie looked over her shoulder toward Tyler.

Tyler was trying to keep himself from freaking out.

Rosie sighed, pushing her books back into her locker, closing and locking it, walking toward Tyler, trying to make him feel better. "You're pretty handy."

Tyler chuckled without humor, startled.

Caroline was down the hall, looking toward them.

Tyler noticed her, looking at Rosie. "She knew something about last night, Rose. Find out what it is. I'm gonna go try and find Emma."

Rosie nodded.

Tyler walked away, leaving.

Rosie watched him go sadly, sighing.

...

Elsewhere

Stefan was at his locker, closing and locking it.

Jeremy walked toward him.

"Hey, Jeremy." Stefan told her.

"Hey, Stefan." Jeremy told him, leaning against the lockers. "Look, Emma and Elena have got to let me know if I'm supposed to cover for them. Jenna's cool with you and Elena, and she's okay with it if Emma stays there for Isabella or Elizabeth, but you guys are pushing it."

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked.

"Emma and Elena." Jeremy answered. "Look, I'm glad you and Elena are back together, and that Emma gets along with Isabella and Elizabeth, but if they're gonna be sleeping over..."

"Wait, wait." Stefan told him. "Hold on a minute. We're not back together."

Jeremy frowned in confusion. "Wait. They didn't stay at your place last night?"

"No." Stefan answered. "I mean, I saw them at the party, but that was it. They didn't sleep over."

"'Cause their beds hadn't been slept in, and Mrs. Lockwood said that Emma's car was still in the driveway, but that she hadn't stayed over with Tyler or Rosie." Jeremy told him. Stefan frowned in confusion. Both of them started to get worried. "Where the hell are they, then?"

...

Eden, Virginia

House - Outside

The vampire's black car was outside the house that was in the middle of nowhere.

...

Inside - Living Room

The house was large and looked as if it had been lavish when it had first been built, but it was worn away and tattered now.

The vampire carried Emma's unconscious body into the living room, lying her on the couch next to Elena and Elizabeth.

Elena was untied, starting to wake, groggy and slow.

The vampire started to untie Emma's wrists and ankles.

Elena noticed him, waking even more. "What do you want?"

The vampire put a finger to his lips. "Shh."

"Please." Elena told him. "We're hurt."

"I know." The vampire told her, transforming, looking over Emma's bloodstained dress. "Just a taste."

"No!" Elena told him.

The vampire grabbed Emma, trying to bite and feed, waking her instantly.

Emma struggled to push the vampire away.

Elizabeth woke up giving him an aneurysm.

A woman walked in, looking at the vampire. "Trevor! Elizabeth Enough!" Elizabeth stopped once Trevor let Emma go. Emma sat up, sliding closer to Elena. Elena held her arms in relief. "Control yourself."

The woman walked closer.

Trevor stood, looking at the woman. "Buzz kill."

Trevor walked out, leaving.

Emma looked at the woman. "What do you want with us?"

The woman looked at Emma. "Oh, my God. You look just like her." She looked at Elena, smirking. "Close enough." She looked at Elizabeth. "Nice to see you again."

"Please, whatever you want-" Elena started.

"Be quiet." The woman told them.

"I'm not Katherine." Emma told her. "My name's Emma Gilbert. This is my sister, Elena." Elena stood to face the woman. "You don't have to do this."

"I know who you are." The woman told them. "I said be quiet."

"What do you want?" Elena asked.

The woman backhand punched Elena in the face so hard she sent her spinning and landing face first on the couch. "I want you to be quiet." She gave Emma a look. "I'd sit down and do as I say before that happens to you."

Emma held Elena's now unconscious body, looking at the woman nervously.

Elizabeth looked nervous.

...

Mystic Falls, Virginia

Mystic Falls High School - Outside

Stefan, Damon, and Evelyn were talking about the current dilemma. Stefan, Damon and Evelyn were standing.

"This has Katherine written all over it." Stefan told them.

"Katherine's in the tomb." Damon told them. "Trust me, I'm the one who shut her in."

"Did you?" Evelyn asked.

"Did I what, Evelyn?" Damon asked.

"I know the hold Katherine has on you." Evelyn told him.

"She's in the tomb, period." Damon told them. "End of story. But she did say something to me right before I shut her in. I thought she was lying."

"What did she say?" Evelyn asked.

"Elizabeth, Emma or Elena are in danger." Damon answered.

"What?" Evelyn asked. "And you didn't think you should ask her to elaborate?"

"Everything she says is a lie." Damon told them in defense. "How am I supposed to know if she's gonna start spouting out the truth?"

"We have to talk to her." Stefan told them.

"No, no." Evelyn told them. "Let me tell you how that's gonna go. We're gonna go ask her for help, she's gonna negotiate her release, which we're gonna be dumb enough to give her, and she's gonna get out and kill us. This is exactly what she wants."

"I don't really care." Stefan told them.

"It's a bad idea, Stefan." Evelyn told him.

Stefan pointed at them, starting to back away. "It's Elizabeth, Emma and Elena." He turned around. Isabella appeared in his way. Stefan took a step back, looking at her in surprise. Isabella tilted her head. "Isabella..."

"Couldn't you have given me a call, brother?" Isabella asked.

"You've been screening my calls since last night." Stefan told her. "I knew you weren't gonna answer my call for help now."

Evelyn stood, stepping closer but keeping her distance. "That's why I called her."

Stefan looked at Isabella. "I still didn't know you would care."

Isabella shrugged half-heartedly. "I don't know why. It's not like I just found out my brother asked my friend and a nasty, manipulative, slutty bitch to slip me vampire blood 145 years ago so I would turn into a vampire, and that same brother kept that a secret from me for that long. Oh, wait, that's exactly what is it." Stefan looked incredibly guilty. "But I guess I should thank you instead of blame you. You see, it's not the fact that you asked Elizabeth or Katherine to turn me that gets to me. It's the fact that you've kept it a secret."

"I don't know what you want me to say." Stefan admitted.

"You?" Isabella asked. "I don't want you to say anything. But I'll say, 'I have a new and better idea rather than us going to ask help from the nasty, manipulative slutty bitch herself.'"

"Us?" Stefan repeated.

Damon walked closer. "What devious plan do you got cooking up?"

"The devious plan comes up later on." Isabella told them. "Now... Go find Bonnie, ask her to do a locator spell." She looked at Evelyn. "You, Eve, are gonna help us, 'cause if this is the same people that were after Katherine and Elizabeth before..."

"It puts them at 500 years or older and older than Elizabeth." Evelyn finished. "I'll go. And you still haven't explained about the 'us'."

"Well, I'll even go with you to help get them back." Isabella told them.

Stefan and Damon spoke together in surprise. "Really?"

"Yes!" Isabella answered exaggeratingly. "Go!"

Stefan and Damon looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn smiled a small smile. "I think the words that you're looking for are, 'Thank you, Evelyn, for giving Isabella the call for help and being the only one that could get through to her right now'. You're welcome." Evelyn and Isabella looked at each other, smirking. "I'll go find Bonnie."

Evelyn walked away, leaving.

...

Inside - Hallway

Caroline was in the hallway, looking at Sarah's memorial locker.

Rosie joined her. "Caroline, hey."

"Hey." Caroline told her.

"Have you seen Emma?" Rosie asked.

"No." Caroline answered. "She didn't come in today, and she's not answering her phone. I'm sorry. How are you and Tyler doing?"

"Not good." Rosie answered.

"How's your mom?" Caroline asked. "My mom said that she was pretty freaked out about everything that happened with Sarah."

"How did you know?" Rosie asked.

"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.

"About Tyler." Rosie answered. "About me. How did you know?"

"Know what?" Caroline asked. "That you were upset? I thought I was doing a good thing by covering for you two."

Rosie shook her head. "That's not what I'm talking about."

"Look, it was an accident, okay?" Caroline asked. "And I've got to run. Just... please don't blame yourself."

Caroline walked away, leaving.

Rosie watched her go in confusion.

...

Eden, Virginia

House - Living Room

Emma was holding onto Elena's unconscious body protectively. Elizabeth was pacing back and forth nervously. They could hear the woman and Trevor talking from outside the room.

"How're the girls?" The woman asked of Trevor.

"One's still passed out. Elizabeth is pacing." Trevor answered. "Emma is holding onto Elena." He scoffed. "Thinks she can protect her."

"You didn't touch them, did you?" The woman asked.

"Give me some credit." Trevor told her. Emma slowly let go of Elena, slipping off the couch, walking toward the door. Elizabeth followed. "So you called him?"

"No." The woman answered. "I called one of his contacts. You know how this works."

...

Hallway

Emma and Elizabeth walked through the hallway toward the other room, still able to hear their conversation.

"Did you or did you not get the message to Elijah?" Trevor asked.

Emma frowned in confusion looking at Elizabeth who looked frightened.

"They say he got it." The woman told him.

"Wonderful." Trevor told her. "And then what?"

"So, that's it, Trevor." The woman answered. Emma inched closer. "He either did, or he didn't. We just have to wait."

"Look, it's not too late." Trevor told her. "We can leave them here. We don't have to go through with this."

"I'm sick of running." The woman told him.

"Yeah?" Trevor asked. "Well, running keeps us from dying."

"Elijah is old school." the woman told him. "If he accepts our deal, we're free." The weak floorboards creaked underneath Emma's feet. The woman heard her. "You!" She walked out of the other room to walk toward Emma and Elizabeth in the hall. "There's nothing around here for miles. If you think you, your friend and you sister are getting out of this house, you're tragically wrong. Understand?"

Emma didn't answer, asking her own. "Who's Elijah?"

The woman swallowed. "He's your worst nightmare. I'm surprised Elizabeth here hasn't told you about him."

The woman walked away, leaving.

Emma took a deep breath, not knowing what to make of this.

Elizabeth looked scared.

Mystic Falls, Virginia

Mystic Falls High School - Alaric's Classroom

Jeremy and Bonnie were setting up a map and candles on a couple of desks.

Evelyn and Liam were getting weapons from Alaric's classroom closet.

"How does this work?" Jeremy asked.

"I'll use your blood to draw energy for the locator spell." Bonnie answered. "You're blood related."

Stefan walked in.

Evelyn and Liam walked closer with two duffle bags of weapons each.

"All right, Alaric said we've got to clear out of here within ten minutes." Liam told them.

"We've got weapons." Evelyn told them. "He said Liam and I could raid his vampire hunter weapon store for you guys."

Liam held the bags toward Stefan.

Stefan took it, putting it over his shoulders, holding the others in his hands.

Bonnie looked at Jeremy. "Are you ready?" Bonnie took Jeremy's hand, using the knife to cut across his hand. Jeremy flinched, letting the blood drip onto the map. The blood slid across the map to Eden, Virginia. "There. They're there."

"No, Bonnie." Liam told her. "We need a more exact location than that."

"That's as close as I can get." Bonnie told them.

"We can map it." Evelyn told them. "Ariel view will show us what's around there, help us narrow down the area."

Stefan pointed at Evelyn. "Perfect. Call me with whatever you find."

"What?" Jeremy asked. "No, no, I'm coming with you." Jeremy told them.

"No, Jeremy, you're not." Evelyn told him.

"No, I'm not gonna just sit here." Jeremy told them. "What if they're hurt? Okay? Or worse? What if they're..."

Jeremy couldn't bring himself to ask if they were dead.

Evelyn shook his head. "They're not. But we're not putting anyone else in danger."

Stefan looked at the others aside from Evelyn. "You guys go back to the boarding house. We'll call you the minute we find them."

"Well, you guys can't do this alone." Liam told them.

Damon opened the door, revealing him and Isabella in the hall behind him. "They're not. Let's go."

"You're coming with us?" Stefan asked.

Damon gave him a serious look. "It's Elizabeth, Emma and Elena."

Outside

(Song:) Wolf Like Me - TV On the Radio

Tyler was playing basketball with other guys. He used super strength to jump up and slam dunk the ball into the net.

"Dude, what the hell was that?" A guy asked. "Where did that come from? How'd you do that?"

Tyler noticed Caroline, no longer playing, walking toward her, between the buses, unseen by others.

"Hey." Caroline told him. "Um... are you okay?"

"I heard you talking to Rosie earlier." Tyler told her. "You lied to her. Why?"

"Look, Tyler..." Caroline trailed off. "I think that you misunderstood me at the party. I get it. It was very traumatic."

"You're lying." Tyler told her.

Caroline shook her head. "Nope. But I'm late."

Caroline turned to leave.

Tyler grabbed her arm to stop her. "Hey!" Caroline twisted Tyler's arm around, pushing him to the ground. Tyler stood in confusion. "How did you... You're stronger than me?"

"Please." Caroline told him. "That was nothing."

"Listen, if you know something, you've got to tell me, because I can't handle this." Tyler told her.

"I'm sorry, Tyler, but I think that you're still in shock over Sarah dying, and it's understandable." Caroline told him.

Tyler looked at Caroline angrily, walking away. He kicked a garbage can with super strength, making it fly through the air and hit a car several feet away, setting off the car alarm as the can fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Tyler in confusion.

Tyler looked at Caroline, walking away, leaving.

Caroline sighed, looking down.

On the Road - Damon's Camaro

(Song:) Love Song - Cruel Black Doves

Damon was driving.

Stefan was in the passenger seat.

Isabella and Evelyn were in the back.

Evelyn was holding a device in his hand. "Alaric sure likes his weapons."

"What the hell is that?" Isabella asked.

"I don't know, it's a vervain bomb or grenade launcher or something like that." Evelyn answered.

"Weird." Isabella told them.

"Hey, how much further is it?" Stefan asked.

"About 80 miles." Damon answered.

"Who do you think took them?" Isabella asked.

"Someone from Elizabeth and Katherine's past." Evelyn answered. "She said they was running from someone. Either they got the wrong girls, or they are just as confused as we all were to see them."

Stefan looked between them. "Thank you for helping me."

"Can we not do the whole road trip bonding thing?" Damon asked. "The cliche of it all makes me itch."

"Oh, come on, Damon." Stefan told him. "We all know that Evelyn being in this car has absolutely everything to do with Jeremy, because she has a crush on Jeremy. Just like we know that Isabella being in this car has absolutely everything to do with the two of us, because she doesn't want us to go through the pain of losing the girls we love. And just like we know that you being in this car has absolutely nothing to do with all of the above. Damon, you are here because you want to save Emma, the girl you love."

"The elephant in the room lets out a mighty roar." Isabella told them tauntingly in boredom.

"Well, it doesn't have to be an elephant." Stefan told her. "Isabella, I know you're hurt and angry with me."

"I'm not hurt." Isabella told them.

"That's your first lie today." Stefan told her. "You're just pretending that you're not hurt. Anybody would be hurt with what you found out yesterday. Let's talk about it."

"There's nothing to talk about." Isabella told them.

"That's not true." Stefan told her. "I'm sure there is. Just get it out. I mean, why are you even here? Because you're helping your brothers save the girls they love even while hating me? Is it because you'd do anything to keep our family intact?" Isabella didn't answer, sighing, leaning her head back against the seat. "I mean, come on, Isabella, express yourself. I happen to like road trip bonding."

"Keep it up, Stefan." Isabella told him. "I can step out of helping as easily as I stepped in."

"No, you see, that's the beauty of it." Stefan told her. "You can't."

Isabella kicked against Stefan's seat. She looked at Evelyn. "I should've brought my own car."

Evelyn and Damon smirked.

Damon continued to drive them on.

Salvatore Boarding House - Living Room

Jeremy and Bonnie were setting up a spell on the table.

Liam walked toward them, looking at his phone. "Look, I pulled this up based on that spot on the map." He showed them the old house on the map on her phone. "There's nothing for miles except this old house."

"Did you send it to Isabella?" Bonnie asked.

"Yeah." Liam answered.

Jeremy was still worried.

Liam sat down in front of him, looking at him sympathetically and reassuringly. "Hey, they're gonna be fine."

"You don't know that." Jeremy told them.

"No, I don't." Liam agreed sadly.

Bonnie took out the grimoire, putting it on the table with the spell, that held Elizabeth, Emma and Elena's hairbrushes and candles, and a piece of paper with a written note in the middle.

"What is all this?" Liam asked.

"There's something else I wanna try." Bonnie told them.

"I don't get it." Liam told them.

"I know it's crazy, but I might be able to get them a message." Bonnie told them, crumpling the note in her hand, putting her hand above the candles, opening her hand, closing her eyes for the spell.

Bonnie's nose started to bleed.

"Bonnie?" Liam asked. Bonnie didn't answer. "Bonnie. Bonnie? Bonnie?"

The paper burned in Bonnie's hand.

Bonnie seemed to be in a trance, unable to pull herself out.

Liam tried to stop Bonnie.

The paper burned away, disappearing.

"Bonnie." Liam told her. Bonnie smiled a small smile, falling back into Liam's arms, unconscious. "Bonnie! Bonnie!"

"Bonnie?" Jeremy asked.

The two looked at each other in confusion, concerned.

House - Living Room

The woman was tidying the place.

Elizabeth, Emma and Elena walked closer.

"Why are we here?" Elena asked.

"You keep asking me these questions like I'm going to answer them." The woman told them, walking along.

"Why won't you?" Elena asked.

"That's another one." The woman told them.

Elizabeth walked closer. "You got us, okay? It's not like we can go anywhere. The least you can do is tell them what you want with us."

"I personally want nothing." The woman told them. "I'm just a delivery service."

"Delivery to who?" Elena asked.

Emma walked closer. "Elijah?"

Elena frowned in confusion.

The woman chuckled, pointing at Emma and Elizabeth. "Two points for the eavesdroppers."

Elena sighed. "Who is he?" She walked closer. "Is he a vampire?"

"He's one of the vampires." The woman answered. "The Originals."

"What do you mean, 'The Originals'?" Elena asked.

"Again with the questions." The woman told them. "Haven't the Salvatores been teaching you your vampire history? Elizabeth really never explained anything."

"So you know Isabella, Stefan and Damon." Elena concluded.

"I know of them." The woman answered. "The one I know personally is Evelyn Zhu. She's one of my friend's family."

"Friend?" Emma repeated, stepping closer. It took her a second to realize. "Pearl?"

"Mm-hmm." The woman answered.

Elizabeth, Emma and Elena walked closer.

"Who are the Originals?" Elena asked.

The woman sighed, turning to face them. "Trevor and I have been running for 500 years. We're tired. We want it over. We're using the three of you to negotiate ourselves out of an old mess."

"But why us?" Emma asked.

The woman looked at Elena and Emma. "Because one of you is a Petrova Doppelganger and the other is a twin, don't know which one of you it is." She looked at Elizabeth. "And you're the one that got away. You're the keys to breaking the curse."

"Curse?" Elena repeated. "The Sun and the Moon curse?"

The woman sighed. "Oh, you do know your history."

"What do you mean, we're the keys?" Emma asked. "The moonstone is what breaks the curse."

"No, the moonstone is what binds the curse." Elizabeth told them. "The sacrifice is what breaks it."

"The blood of the Doppelganger." The woman explained. She looked at Elena and Emma. "One Of you is the Doppelganger." She looked at Elizabeth. "Which means, in order to break the curse, one the two of you have to die."

Emma and Elena were in shocked denial.

Elizabeth sighed worriedly.

Forbes House - Foyer

Caroline walked in. "Mom? Liam?" She sensed something, cautiously walking further into the house. Tyler was behind her. Caroline turned to face him. "What are you doing here?"

"I know." Tyler told her.

"Breaking and entering the Sheriff's house?" Caroline asked. "That move will win you an award."

"Go ahead." Tyler told her. "Keep dodging, keep changing the subject. But I know. You're just like me, aren't you?"

"No." Caroline answered.

"Keep it up, but I'm not buying it." Tyler told her. "I saw how strong you were. I'm not leaving here until you tell me the truth."

"Tyler..." Caroline trailed off.

"You're a werewolf." Tyler told her. "Say it."

Caroline started to laugh. "What?"

Tyler pushed Caroline against the wall angrily. "Stop lying!"

"I'm not lying." Caroline told him.

"Say it!" Tyler told her, hitting the wall next to her head, hard, making a picture to fall to the floor and break.

Caroline grabbed Tyler, turning around to push him against the wall where she had been, transforming, pushing him to the floor. "I'm not a werewolf, okay?"

Caroline let her face return to normal.

Tyler looked at her in shock.

Eden, Virginia

House - Living Room

Emma and Elena were still interrogating the woman.

"Tell us more." Elena told her.

Trevor walked in. "Captivity has made them pushy, eh?" Elizabeth, Emma and Elena turned to face him. Trevor picked up a board from the floor. "What do you want to know, sweethearts?"

"Who are you running from?" Elena asked.

"The Originals." Trevor answered.

"Yeah, she said that." Emma told him. "What does that mean?"

Trevor put the board down, walking closer. "The first family." He kicked some books out of the way, making them clatter away, pointing at the woman. "The Old World. Rose and I pissed them off."

Rose gave Trevor a look. "Mm-mm."

"Correction, I pissed them off." Trevor told them. "Rose had my back and for over half a millennium, they've wanted us dead."

Trevor tossed a book to the floor.

"What did you do?" Elena asked.

"He made the same mistake countless others did." Rose answered. "He trusted Katerina Petrova."

Emma realized. "Katherine."

"Mm-hmm." Rose answered. "The one and only. The first Petrova Doppelganger."

Rose walked away.

"I helped her and Elisaveta escape her fate." Trevor told them. "And now I've, sorry, we've, been marked ever since."

"Which is why we're not going to make the same mistake again." Rose told them, walking out, leaving.

Trevor put a book onto the table, looking at Elizabeth, Emma and Elena, smiling, following Rose, leaving.

Emma and Elena looked at Elizabeth, taking a deep breath.

Rosie saw a sketch of a vampire and a werewolf facing each other in a drawing in the journal, picking it up. She looked at it, overwhelmed, but she no longer. She knew the truth.

Salvatore Boarding House - Nicola's Room

Bonnie was lying in bed, slowly waking up.

Liam was sitting next to her with a glass of water, handing it to Bonnie. "Here, drink this."

"Thanks." Bonnie told him, slowly drinking.

"I took Jeremy home." Liam told her. "I rushed back here so I could be here when you woke up. What happened? You scared the hell out of us."

"It's nothing." Bonnie told him.

"It wasn't nothing, Bonnie." Liam told her.

"I've been doing a lot of magic lately." Bonnie told her. "It wears me down."

"When I'm worn down, I take a nap." Liam told her. "You were... You were unconscious."

"Witchcraft has its limits." Bonnie told her. "If I push too hard, it pushes back."

"How do you know all this?" Liam asked.

Bonnie looked at the grimoire. "It's all in here. It's like a reminder that I'm not invincible." She looked at Liam. "Please don't... don't tell anyone."

"Why not?" Liam asked.

"Because it's a weakness and I don't want certain people to know that." Bonnie answered.

"By certain people, you mean Damon." Liam told her.

"I mean, anyone that can hurt me." Bonnie told him.

"Yeah, but even if I kept your secret, Jeremy saw what happened." Liam told her.

"We'll just tell them I was feeling ill, and I fainted." Bonnie told him. "All right? I don't want anyone to worry about me. Okay?"

Liam nodded understandingly. "I won't tell anyone. I promise."

"It's hard, you know?" Bonnie asked. "My Grams is gone and my dad, he doesn't want to know about what I am. He hasn't since my mom left. I'm all alone in this."

Liam took Bonnie's hand, shaking his head. "You're not alone, Bonnie. I promise. Besides Elizabeth is happy to help you out." Bonnie smiled a small smile. "Do you think that worked?"

"I have no idea." Bonnie admitted.

Bonnie and Liam managed small smiles.

Eden, Virginia

House - Parlor

Emma and Elizabeth sat on the couch, sighing.

Elena sat next to them. She looked uncomfortable, pulling something out from under her, showing the folded up piece of paper to Elizabeth and Emma.

They looked at her in confusion.

Elena unfolded the note, reading, smiling hopefully, looking at them, putting a finger to her lips, handing the note to Elizabeth.

They read the note.

Helps is coming for you.

-B

They looked at Elena in surprise.

Elena nodded.

Elena, Elizabeth and Emma smiled small, hopeful smiles.

On the Road

Damon's Camaro drove down the road.

...

Damon's Camaro

(Song:) Blood - Editors

Damon was driving.

Stefan was in the passenger seat.

Isabella and Evelyn were in the back.

Isabella was looking at her phone. "We're getting close. Liam said there's an access road just past mile marker six." She took out a blood bag, drinking. Stefan looked at her through the rearview mirror. Isabella looked up at him through the mirror, swallowing. "If you want some, just ask."

"I want some." Stefan told her.

"Ah, that's so sweet." Isabella told them sarcastically. She looked from Stefan to Damon. "You're both gonna be all big and strong and save your girls. But don't worry. We've got your back. It'll be fine."

"I'm not joking." Stefan told them. "I've been drinking a little every day. I'm slowly increasing my intake and building up my strength."

Isabella looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn shrugged.

Isabella cautiously handed Stefan the blood bag.

Stefan took a drink without problem.

Damon took the blood bag from Stefan. "Does Elena know you're drinking blood?"

"I've been drinking hers." Stefan told them.

There was a long, awkward pause.

"Hmm, how romantic." Damon told them sarcastically, taking a drink from the blood bag. "Since we're road trip bonding, remember the days when all you lived for was blood? You were the guy who ripped someone apart just for the fun of it."

"You mean when I was more like you?" Stefan asked.

Damon held the blood bag back toward Evelyn. "Yes, Stefan, exactly." Evelyn took the blood bag. "Back when you secretly asked Katherine and Elizabeth to turn Izzy and you put blood into me so we could be big, bad vampires. I wonder if Elena would be so quick to open her veins to that guy." Evelyn took a drink. "By the way, what happened to that guy? He was a hoot."

"I guess he found something else to live for." Stefan told them.

There was a long, awkward pause.

Evelyn handed the blood bag back to Isabella. "You can have your blood bag back now."

Isabella took it, turning it over to reveal the blood bag was empty. She gave them a look.

Evelyn smirked, looking away.

House - Living Room

Rose was grabbing bags and things off of the floor, placing them in a chair nearby.

Emma, Elizabeth and Elena were sitting in chairs nearby.

Trevor walked in, panicking. "He's here." Emma, Elizabeth and Elena looked up. "This was a mistake."

"No." Rose told him. "I told you I would get you out of this-"

"No!" Trevor told her. "He wants me dead, Rose."

Rose pointed at Elizabeth, Emma and Elena. "He wants them more."

"I can't do this." Trevor told her. "You give them to him. He'll have mercy on you, but I need to get out of here."

Rose walked closer, taking Trevor's hands in hers. "Hey. What are we?"

Trevor closed his eyes, breathing heavily, nodding, opening his eyes. "We're family. Forever."

Emma and Elena looked at each other, seeming affected.

Rose nodded to Trevor.

There was a pounding on the door in the distance.

They jumped.

Elena took Elizabeth and Emma's hand.

Rose and Trevor were frightened.

"You're scared." Elena told them.

Rose ignored them, looking at Trevor. "Stay here with them. And don't make a sound."

Rose walked out, leaving.

Elizabeth, Emma and Elena looked at each other nervously.

...

Foyer

The door opened as if on its own or by being blown by a breeze.

A man in an expensive suit walked in. He looked around, smirking.

...

Rose walked toward the man.

"Rose-Marie." The man told her. "Is there somewhere we can talk?"

"Yes, in here." Rose answered. "You have to forgive the house."

"Oh, no, what's a little dirt?" The man asked. "I completely understand."

...

Parlor

The man and Rose walked in, taking a seat.

"So, tell me, what is it that give you the courage to call me?" The man asked.

"I wanted my freedom." Rose answered. "I'm tired of running. You in a position to grant me that?"

"I have complete authority to grant pardon to you and your little pet." The man answered. "What is his name these days? Trevor? If I so see fit."

"Katerina and Elisaveta Petrova." Rose told him.

"I'm listening." The man told her.

"They didn't burn in the church in 1864." Rose told him.

"Continue." The man told her.

"They survived." Rose told him.

"Where are they p?" The man asked.

Rose looked at him in confusion. "You don't seem surprised by this."

"Oh, when you called and invited me into this armpit of civilization, which is a mere three hours from the town we know as Mystic Falls, I surmised it had everything to do with Katerina and Elisaveta." The man told her. "Do you have them in your possession?"

"Somewhat." Rose answered. "But I have better. I have the Doppelganger/twin and Elisaveta Petrova."

"That's impossible." The man told her. "Their family line ended with them. I know that for fact."

"The facts are wrong." Rose told him.

"Well, show them to me." The man told her.

"Elijah, you are a man of honor." Rose told him. "You should be trusted, but I want to hear you say it again."

"You have my word that I will pardon you." Elijah told her.

Rose nodded. "Follow me."

...

Living Room

Elizabeth, Emma and Elena were standing, nervous.

Trevor was pacing nearby.

Elijah and Rose walked in.

Elijah stopped when he saw Elizabeth, Emma and Elena, looking between them. He rushed in front of Emma.

Emma didn't move.

Elijah leaned his head in between Emma and Elena's, listening for a heartbeat and smelling their scent. He stepped back. "Human." Emma and Elena breathed heavily. "It's impossible." Elijah looked at Emma revealing she was the Doppelganger and Elena was the twin, smiling a small smile. "Hello, there."

...

Woods

Damon's Camaro was parked.

Stefan, Damon, Isabella and Evelyn were getting their things, their weapon bags.

"The house should be just beyond those trees." Evelyn told them. "Wait. I got a lot more experience than all of you do with those sorts of things."

"What is your point?" Damon asked.

"My point is, as we've said before, whoever has Elizabeth, Emma and Elena is probably who was after Katherine and Elizabeth in 1864 and before that." Evelyn answered.

"And?" Isabella asked.

"And, as we've also said before, it puts them at 500 years old and strong." Evelyn told them. "Are you guys sure you want to this?"

"Yeah, I'm certain I want to do it." Stefan answered.

"Because if we go in that house, we may not come back out." Evelyn told them.

"All right, then I won't come out." Stefan told him

"So noble, Stefan." Isabella told him sarcastically.

"Izzy, I know you're hurt and angry right now, but I can't think of a better reason to die." Stefan told her. He looked between them. "But if you three want to stay here, I'll totally understand."

Evelyn pulled his duffle bag over her shoulder, rolling her eyes slightly, walking toward the house.

Stefan followed without hesitation.

Damon and Isabella exchanged a look, following them.

...

House - Living Room

Elijah walked toward Emma and Elizabeth. "Well, we have a long journey ahead of us. We should be going."

Elena stepped around Elijah, looking at Rose and Trevor pleadingly. "Please, don't let him take them."

Rose looked down.

Emma swallowed.

"One last piece of business." Elijah told them. "Then we're done."

Elijah turned to face Trevor.

Trevor took a deep breath. "I've waited so long for this day, Elijah." Elijah walked closer. "I'm truly sorry."

"Oh, your apologizes are not necessary." Elijah told him.

Trevor nodded. "Yes. Yes, it is." Elijah walked around Trevor. "You trusted me with Katerina and Elisaveta, and I failed you."

"Well, yes." Elijah agreed. "You are the guilty one. Rose aided you because she was loyal to you. That, I honor." He stepped back in front of Trevor. "Where was your loyalty?"

"I beg for your forgiveness." Trevor told him.

"So granted." Elijah told him.

Elijah swung his arm against Trevor's neck, decapitating him, killing him.

Trevor's head rolled onto the floor.

Trevor's body fell to the floor.

Elena backed away out of instinct, gasping.

Rose screamed, crying in devastation, looking at Elijah in hate. "You..."

"Don't, Rose." Elijah told her. Rose stopped where she was. "Now that you are free." Elijah held his hands toward Emma and Elizabeth. "Come."

"No." Emma told him. "What about the moonstone?"

Elijah walked closer. "What do you know about the moonstone?"

"I know that you need it." Emma answered. "And I know where it is."

Elijah nodded, waiting for her to continue. "Yes."

"I can help you get it." Emma told him.

"Tell me where it is." Elijah told her.

Emma shook her head. "It doesn't work that way."

Elijah sighed, startled and amused. "Are you negotiating with me?"

Elijah looked at Elena.

Elena swallowed.

Elizabeth looked amused but frightened.

Elijah turned to Rose.

"It's the first I've heard of it." Rose told him.

Elijah tried to compel Emma, but nothing happened. He tried to compel Elena, but nothing happened. He looked at Elena's necklace. "What is this vervain doing around your neck?" He pulled Elena's necklace off of her. He grabbed Emma's necklace, pulling off her bracelet. "On your neck also?" He tossed them further into the house. He grabbed Emma by her hair. Elizabeth stepped forward. "I wouldn't." Elizabeth stopped, looking at Emma worriedly. Elijah compelled Emma. "Tell me where the moonstone is."

"In the tomb underneath the church ruins." Emma answered calmly.

"What is it doing there?" Elijah asked.

"It's with Katherine." Emma answered.

"Interesting." Elijah told them, letting go of Emma. They heard glass shattering throughout the house. Elena jumped at the sudden noise. Elijah backed away from Emma and Elizabeth, looking at Rose. "What is that?"

"I don't know." Rose told him.

"Who else is in this house?" Elijah asked.

"I don't know." Rose told him.

Emma, Elizabeth and Elena looked at each other with a little relief, trying to hide it from them.

Elijah grabbed Emma and Elizabeth by their arms, pulling them out of the room. "Move."

Elena was about to follow but a look from both Elizabeth and Emma stopped her.

...

Foyer

Elijah pulled Emma and Elizabeth out into the foyer.

Rose followed.

There was the sound of vampires rushing around them at a speed they couldn't see who it was.

Elijah pushed Emma and Elizabeth into her arms. "Rose."

"I don't know who it is." Rose told her.

They heard Isabella's voice from upstairs. "Up here."

Elijah rushed upstairs, but didn't see anyone.

They heard Evelyn's voice from downstairs. "Down here."

Elijah turned to face the downstairs.

Isabella appeared on the stairs above Elijah, shooting a stake toward him.

Elijah rushed to turn to face her, using his hand to receive the stake instead of his chest. He heard vampires rushing behind him, turning around.

Emma, Elizabeth and Rose had disappeared.

Elijah heard a vampire rushing, turning around.

Isabella had disappeared.

...

Hallway 1

Damon had Emma against the wall, a finger over her lips to tell her to be quiet.

Emma looked at Damon in relief that she tried to hide, but couldn't manage to do so well.

...

Hallway 2

Stefan had Elizabeth against the wall, a finger over her lips to tell her to be quiet. Elena next to him.

Elizabeth looked at them in relief, nodding small, barely noticeable nods.

...

Hallway 3

Evelyn had Rose against the wall, a hand over her mouth to keep her from making a noise. She recognized her, mouthing his words. 'I know you.'

Rose nodded.

...

Foyer

Elijah looked around the empty foyer, speaking to the others in the house. "Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think you can beat me." He raised his arms in a shrug. "You can't. Do you hear that?" He broke the wooden coat rack into a stake meant for them. "I repeat, you cannot beat me. So, I want the girls. I'm gonna count to three, or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?"

Isabella stepped into view at the top of the staircase, holding two vervain grenades in her hands. She looked at Elijah, smirking, nodding. "Yeah, we understand each other."

Elijah rushed toward Isabella.

Isabella rushed to pull the clips out of the grenades with either hand, tossing them toward Elijah, rushing away before they exploded.

The vervain grenades exploded, burning Elijah's skin profusely. His skin healed, faster than the average vampire.

Elijah breathed heavily in anger, turning around the curve of the staircase to see Isabella.

Isabella shot stakes into Elijah with the compressed air weapon repeatedly.

It didn't seem to hurt him. At all.

Isabella tossed the weapon aside.

Stefan and Damon rushed toward Elijah, tackling him down the stairs, all of them falling to the floor.

Elijah stood instantly, walking toward Stefan and Damon with the stakes in hand.

Evelyn rushed closer, staking the coat rack through Elijah's heart, pushing him against the door, the stake piercing through to the wooden door.

Rose walked in, seeing everything, rushing out, leaving.

Isabella rushed downstairs, toward the door to follow Rose.

Evelyn rushed in Isabella's way, putting up a hand to stop her. "Just let her go."

Stefan and Damon looked up the staircase to see Emma, Elizabeth and Elena up above.

Elena ran downstairs, into Stefan's arms.

Stefan held her close. "Hey, come here. Are you hurt? Are you okay?"

Elizabeth walked down stairs shaking before hugging Evelyn.

Emma walked downstairs, past Stefan and Elena, looking at Damon, Evelyn and Isabella. "Thank you."

Evelyn nodded still hugging a shaking Elizabeth.

Isabella shrugged in acknowledgement.

"You're welcome." Damon told her.

Emma looked at Damon, smiling, embracing him, surprising him.

Damon held Emma comfortingly.

Mystic Falls, Virginia

Night - Gilbert House - Jeremy's Room

(Song:) Ocean Wide - The Afters

Jeremy had fallen asleep in his bed.

He heard the front door, waking instantly.

"Emma?" Jeremy called. "Elena?"

Jeremy stood, walking out instantly.

...

Hallway

Jeremy walked out into the hall.

Emma and Elena walked up the stairs.

Jeremy looked at them in relief.

Jeremy embraced Elena instantly, pulling away after moment.

"Are you okay?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm fine." Elena answered.

Jeremy embraced Emma, closing his eyes, exhaling a deep breath. "Oh, thank God."

Emma smiled a small smile, returning the embrace. "I'm okay."

Jeremy, Elena and Emma embraced each other.

...

Salvatore Boarding House - Isabella's Room

Isabella and Evelyn were helping themselves to a few drinks.

"Why are we drinking?" Evelyn asked.

"We are celebrating." Isabella answered.

Evelyn nodded sarcastically, a little confused. "Yeah, I guess taking down one immortal badass is cause for celebration."

"Oh, I'm not talking about that." Evelyn told her. She reconsidered, tilting her head. "Well, that."

Isabella took a drink, lowering her gaze.

"You really gonna let Stefan sweat it out a little bit, aren't you?" Evelyn asked.

"It's been about 24 hours since I found out the truth, so, yeah." Isabella answered.

Stefan and Damon walked in.

Isabella and Evelyn took a drink.

"Where are Emma and Elena?" Evelyn asked.

"They're home." Damon answered.

"And you're here, in my room, why?" Isabella asked.

"Because they wanted to be with Jeremy." Stefan answered.

Evelyn handed Stefan and Damon each a drink. "Here."

"Thanks." Damon told her.

They each took a drink.

"Listen, what Rose told Elena and Emma about the curse..." Stefan trailed off.

"I know." Damon told them. "We'll keep them safe."

"You know, the only way you're gonna be able to do that is if we're not fighting each other." Evelyn told them, giving Isabella a significant look. "We let Katherine come between us. If we let that happen with Emma and Elena, we're not gonna be able to protect them."

"Yes, Eve, we've heard it all before." Isabella told her.

Evelyn gave Stefan a look, nodding subtly to Damon and Isabella, taking a drink.

Stefan sighed, nodding, looking at Damon and Isabella. "I'm sorry. To both of you."

"About what?" Damon asked.

Stefan looked at Damon. "For being the guy who made you turn 145 years ago." He looked at Isabella. "And the guy responsible for our family falling apart even when you tried to keep it together, and most importantly for being the reason you turned and kept it a secret for a century and a half."

"Enough, Stef, it's late." Isabella told him. "Don't need to rehash it more than it already is."

"You know what?" Stefan asked. "I've never said it out loud. I guess I just need to say it, and you both need to hear it. I'm sorry. What I did to both of you was selfish. I didn't want to be alone. I guess I just needed my brother and my sister."

Damon and Isabella seemed to consider this, both affected more than they let on.

Evelyn smiled a small smile at their reaction. "A long day of action and violence and drama needs a long night of sleep and rest and bliss."

"Sounds really good to me." Isabella told them.

"Me, too." Damon told them.

Evelyn finished her drink, placing it down. "Night, guys."

"Night, Evelyn." Stefan told her.

Evelyn walked out, leaving.

Stefan, Damon and Isabella looked at each other.

Stefan and Damon walked out, leaving.

Isabella watched them all go. She didn't seem to be as tense and as hurt or angry as before. She seemed thoughtful and lenient, looking down at her glass, drinking the rest, sighing. She smiled a small smile.

Forbes House - Living Room

Tyler was sitting on the couch.

Caroline walked closer with a bottle of alcohol and two glasses, sitting next to him. "You know, this sounds crazy, but alcohol helps, or at least, it helps me. You know, with all that jittery stuff."

"I'm hot." Tyler told her. "It's like my skin is on fire."

"Really?" Caroline asked. "I never had any of that. I guess wolves are different. At the beginning, I was very, very emotional. Everything was heightened."

"I have that." Tyler told her. "How can you be a vampire?"

"How can you be a werewolf?" Caroline replied.

"Who else is like you?" Tyler asked.

Caroline shook her head. "Just me. It's a really long story we can share another time. How many other werewolves are there?"

"Just me." Tyler answered. "And my Uncle Mason, but he left town."

Caroline took a drink guiltily. "Look, Tyler... you can't tell anyone, okay? Not about you, not about me. No one will understand."

"I know." Tyler told her. "The only one who will is Rosie. She already knows about me."

Caroline nodded understandingly. "I want to tell you about my mom, and yours, and the Founding Families, and the Council, but I need you to promise me that no one will find out about us. This is life and death, Tyler."

"I have no one else but Rosie to tell." Tyler told her. "I'm sorry about earlier. It's just... It's gonna happen to me. On the next full moon, I'm gonna turn, and I won't be able to stop it. I'm scared."

Tyler was overwhelmed.

"Tyler, no." Caroline told him. "I..."

Caroline and Tyler embraced.

...

Evelyn's House - Living Room

Evelyn was having a drink.

There was the sound of a vampire rushing around him.

Evelyn put his drink down, looking around. "Who's there?"

Rose arrived. "I'm not here to hurt you, Evelyn."

"Why are you here, then, Rose?" Evelyn asked. "Pearl and Anna are gone, if those are the friends you came to find."

"I know." Rose told him. "And I'm sorry for your loss. Trevor was my best friend. I lost him. For 500 years, I have lived with one person, and he's gone. I know you know how it feels. But I don't want to run anymore because I don't have anywhere else to run to."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't help you." Evelyn told her.

Rose shook her head. "I don't need your help, but I think you need mine. Elijah may be dead, but this isn't over."

"What do you mean, 'it's not over'?" Evelyn asked.

"It isn't over." Rose answered. "The Originals, they'll come for them, Emma and Elisaveta. They have to. They're doing it for him."

"For who?" Cristian asked.

Rose hesitated. "Someone Elisaveta knows very well Klaus."

...

Lockwood Mansion - Foyer

Tyler walked in, seeming more calm than before.

Rosie walked toward him. "Ty. What's wrong?"

Tyler shook his head. "Nothing, you know, other than..." He sighed. "I found something out about Caroline Forbes that you're never gonna believe."

Rosie held up one of the Lockwood Journals. "You mean a vampire?"

Tyler looked at her in surprised confusion. "How did you..."

"The journals tell a lot about the past and I did some research" Rosie told him, shrugging, looking at the journal in her hand. "I haven't read all of them, but I spent most of the day reading them."

Tyler stepped closer. "So this guy was really a werewolf?"

Rosie nodded. "And it talks about a deal he made with a vampire named Katherine Pierce to get the moonstone, but it didn't say why." She rolled her eyes. "That damn moonstone is so overrated. But this George Lockwood called Katherine the rope between the-"

"The rope between what?" Tyler asked. Rosie couldn't say, so she settled for shaking her head. "Does it say anything else?"

Rosie took a moment to respond to make sure she could speak again. "I haven't read that far. I'll let you know."

Tyler nodded, sighing. "I'm gonna see when the full moon is."

"Okay." Rosie told him.

Tyler walked away, leaving.

Rosie looked through the journal in her hands.

Gilbert House - Emma's Room

(Song:) I Was Wrong - Sleeperstar

Emma was in her pajamas, sitting on her bed.

The shower could be heard from the bathroom.

Emma sighed, standing, walking toward her dresser, running her brush through her hair.

Damon appeared on the window seat behind her, visible in the mirror in front of her. "Cute PJ's." Emma jumped. "Sorry. Shouldn't scare you after what happened." Damon smirked. "Not for a while, anyway."

Emma turned to face him. "You didn't scare me."

Damon smirked. "Mm-hmm."

"You didn't, Damon." Emma told him.

Damon stood, walking closer. "I'll pretend like I believe that." He placed Elena's necklace on Elena's dresser. Emma was surprised. "I brought these."

Damon showed Emma her necklace.

Emma smiled in a surprise. "I thought that was gone. Thank you." She reached for her necklace. Damon pulled it away. "Please give it back."

"I just have to say something." Damon told her.

"Why do you have to say it with my bracelet?" Emma asked.

"Well, because what I'm about to say is... probably the most selfish thing I have ever said in my life." Damon answered.

Emma took a deep breath, shaking her head. "Damon, don't go there."

"No, I just have to say it once." Damon told her. "You just need to hear it." Emma barely moved her head in a nod. Damon stepped closer. "I love you, Emma. And it's because I love you that... I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this. I don't deserve you." He kissed her slowly for a moment, pulling away, tears in his eyes. "God, I wish you didn't have to forget this." Emma looked at him in confusion. Damon compelled her, letting a single tear fall. "But you do."

Emma closed her eyes. She opened them.

Damon was gone.

Emma was wearing her necklace . She touched the chain of the necklace , looking around the room, alone, confused and tired. She didn't have her memory of the moment or what Damon had done for her.

Eden, Virginia

House - Foyer

Elijah was still desiccated, still impaled to the door. His skin regained color to normalcy. He slowly woke. He removed the stake from his chest.
