"Hey, you gave us quite the scare." joked Matt as he lightly punched Jeremy in the arm
"Jeremy how do you feel, are you ok?" asked Elena as she hugged him
Jeremy's face showed great distain for Elena as she hugged him which was cut short as Jeremy shoved her off him, "What the hell do you think you're doing vampire?!" asked Jeremy as Elena crashed into the coffee table behind her.
Damon wasting no time super sped over to Jeremy grabbing him by his shirt just before slamming and pinning him up against the wall across the living room. "You wanna try that again?" asked Damon as he kept Jeremy pinned against the wall
"Get off me!" demanded Jeremy as he tried getting free of Damon but to no avail.
Damon pulled Jeremy off the wall for a split second only to then slam him back into it, "You want to tell me what's you're problem little Gilbert?" asked Damon
"Damon, don't hurt him." called out Elena as she got to her feet. "Jer it's me, it's Elena."
"Is it just me or is this little click highly dysfunctional?" asked Rebekah
Elena shot a look at Rebekah before then walking over to Jeremy, "Come on Jeremy, you've got to snap out of it. I can't…. I can't lose you." said an emotional Elena
Jeremy was still try to get free of Damon and his eyes showed nothing but hate and hostility for those in the room but with in a few seconds Connor soon remembered that he was in Jeremy's body and that if he was going to complete his mission he was going to have to pretend to be Jeremy. Which he hated seeing as all he wanted to do at this very moment was stake Elena, Damon, and Rebekah but he knew that if he didn't do what Qetsiyah had sent him there to do that he'd pay for it later so in an attempt to get into character Jeremy finally stopped struggling against Damon now was still very suspicious of him.
Elena tapped Damon on the shoulder in order to prompt him to release Jeremy. Damon hesitantly loosened his grip on Jeremy as he took a few baby steps back all the while never taking his eyes off Jeremy.
Elena was now standing directly in front of Jeremy and as much as she wanted to hug him she fought the urge as she decided to proceed with caution. "Jer?"
"Elena? Elena!" said Jeremy with great relief just before grabbing a hold of her as he gave her the biggest hug he possibly could. "Elena I'm so sorry, I must have lost it for second." replied Jeremy just before coming out the hug
"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad that you're ok." smiled Elena
While Jeremy and Elena was having there little moment Damon still couldn't shake the feeling that something just wasn't right but his suspicions along with Elena and Jeremy's moment would have to wait as both were suddenly interrupted.
"Not to break up you're ever fleeting happiness but are we forgetting that Silas is on the loose?" asked Rebekah in a snide yet worried tone "Jeremy do you happen to remember anything about last night?"
Jeremy thought about it for a second or two before then shaking his head as he answered, "No, nothing it's kind of a blur."
"Great." replied a sarcastic Rebekah
"So what are we going to do?" asked Matt
"WE aren't going to anything, I'm going to try an find Stefan. Elena and Jeremy will stay here and you two can go get killed for all I care." answered Damon as he began heading towards the door
"And just how do you plan on finding Stefan or better yet staying alive long enough to even attempt a search?" asked Rebekah
"Staying alive seems to be a natural talent of mine so I wouldn't worry to much."
"Damon I'm going with you." said Elena
"No, you're not."
"You can't stop me, I'm more than capable enough to make my own choices Damon."
"Oh, is the happy couple having a spat, how disappointing and I was really pulling for the two of you." said Rebekah in the most sarcastic tone followed by a smirk
"Elena I don't have time for this, and on top of that I can't protect you against Silas. This guy has serious years on me and the last thing I need is to be worrying about you while I'm trying to find Stefan."
"Damon…..I love you and that's why I can't let you do this alone. We're stronger together." said Elena before then passionately locking lips with Damon
"Ugrh, I think I'm going to be sick." said Rebekah, causing Damon and Elena to cut there kiss short as Elena then rolled her eyes at Rebekah. After separating from Elena, Damon began looking around the room as a confused look shot across his face. "Where's Jeremy?" asked Damon.
Matt, Elena, and Rebekah then began glancing around the room before Elena finally said, "He's gone."
"Hmm, wonder what gave you that idea? I know maybe it's the lack of his presence?" zinged Rebekah
Over at the Forbes house Elizabeth Forbes was finally coming to which brought nothing but joy and relief for Caroline who was in panic mode from the moment she saw her mother laying in the street unconscious and covered in blood but now she was all cleaned up and in bed.
"Caroline? Caroline what are you doing here?!" asked Elizabeth as she attempted to sit up only to grab her forehead in pain.
Caroline placed a hand on her mother's shoulder while using the other to tuck her back into bed, "You just need to lie back down and not worry about anything. I'm going to take care of you and when you're back to your full self we can talk about just what the hell is going on with this town."
"Caroline…"
"Ah no talking till then." interrupted Caroline "You need to save your strength and just focus on getting better. By the way I'm going to get some water and an Advil for the headache, be right back." smiled Caroline as she existed her mother's room and made her way down stairs.
After coming off of the last step Caroline looked around the living room before then making her way to kitchen when out of no where she'd feel a hand grab a hold of her left shoulder and wasting no time she grabbed a hold of the person's arm with her right hand before then flipping them over her shoulder using a combination of her vamp speed and strength to catching them off guard.
After the intruder was slammed into the ground he instantly got back on his feet and in no time flat, slammed Caroline into a nearby counter top causing the sliver wear on top of it to fall to the ground. The intruder was strong and seemingly could move as fast as Caroline if not faster.
Elizabeth hearing the sound of things breaking added with the loud thuds that echoed through out the house which was caused by Caroline and the intruder slamming each other around caused her to call out to Caroline but to her dismay she wouldn't receive a response, instead she'd just continue to hear the loud thud sounds.
After being slammed into the counter top Caroline quickly slammed the intruders head into the cupboards only to then be turned and placed in a neck hold from behind."
Caroline wasn't able to break free until after hearing the sound of a gunshot which caused the intruder to loosen his grip and using this as an opportunity Caroline head butted the guy in the square in the face using the back of her head before then once again flipping him over her shoulder except this time she dug the heel of her shoe in his chest as she applied her weight and vampire strength to keep the assailant pinned to the floor.
Caroline and the intruder finally made eye contact, "Tyler!?"
"Caroline!?"
Followed by a sigh Caroline lifted her heel off of Tyler's chest before helping him get to his feet, "Tyler what are you doing here?'
"Well after waking up in the smoke pit at school and seeing the town and the people in the shape there were in I thought I'd come and check on your mom but then I picked up the scent of a vampire along with hers and I thought you were the vampire responsible for all the killings that's been happening.
"Hi Tyler." said Elizabeth as she turned back on the safety on her gun
"Hey Mrs. Forbes." answered Tyler
"I'll be right back." said Caroline as she went and got her mom back in to bed before coming back down stairs and going on the porch to talk with Tyler.
"I didn't know you were coming back into town." said Tyler just as Caroline and gotten on the porch
"Yea, well I didn't think it mattered. I mean it's not like we're still together."
"I know we're not together but it would still be nice to know when you're gonna be back in town Caroline!"
"Sorry ok whatever, but on to more important things. Do you have any idea what went on last night?"
"I don't remember anything, I mean there's bits and pieces but none of it makes sense." replied a some what disappointed Tyler
"I know It's weird, my mom doesn't seem to remember anything after Mayor Rudy's speech apparently, which can only mean she was compelled and I'm guessing you were to seeing as your can't remember anything either."
"Well if you're right about the compelling then there's only three people I know that can compel other vampires."
Caroline glanced over at Tyler with great intrigue, "You don't think?"
"That's exactly what I think." interrupted Tyler as he knew that him and Caroline were both on the same page.
Tyler and Caroline was then caught in a moment of awkward silence but before either of them could say anything in an attempt to break the silence Caroline used the fact that she heard her mother coughing as a way to excuse herself as she went back into the house leaving Tyler out on the porch with his thoughts.
Around Mystic Fall all the towns people who weren't dead was waking up and just like Tyler, Jeremy, and Sheriff Forbes no one could remember just what exactly had taking place last night but that soon didn't matter as the sight of there semi wrecked town accompanied with the sight of all those who were dead turned the stomachs of all the towns people. Yet the death that had everyone completely baffled was that of their beloved Mayor Hopkins who was left on stage for display. While all the town people including Elena and her group attempted to repair and fully piece together all the pieces of last night, the two master minds behind the town's down fall casually sit and converse about their future endeavors.
"So, I take it you got the witch?"
"Yes I have Lucy in my possession, I suppose a thank you is in order."
"No need, just give me what I want and that'll be thank you enough."
"Trust me you will have what you so desire, after I get what it is I want."
"Speaking of, how's that girl you took from little Jeremy Gilbert doing?
"She's fine, though she's as stubborn and hardheaded."
"Well I'm sure if any one can break her it's you. Hope you don't mind me asking but how is it that you are able to meet with me, I mean I don't see that girl of yours staying put."
"I placed a huge boulder in front of the cave exit. That way no one gets in and no one gets out."
"Well I think we should toast."
And with that Silas raised his glass which was full of blood, while Katherine raised her glass of wine and the two toasted as they prepared for phase two of their plan completely unaware though that a few new players would soon join the game and that an old player was in the midst of making a move which would soon put Silas in checkmate position.
