Erica sauntered into their camp after crying for most of the night. She had to flee before Katherine got her too. She saw Derek and Isaac and swallowed hard. She didn't even know how to begin relating what happened to Boyd. Derek noticed her slow pace and closed the distance.
"Is everything okay?" Derek asked.
"Boyd is…he's…"
"An amazing cook. Did you know?" Isaac talked with his mouth filled with meat.
"What are you talking about?" Erica asked in confusion.
"I managed to save some for you," Boyd said to Erica and she jumped. She turned around to face him.
"You're okay," Erica flung her arms around Boyd then began kissing him passionately. Derek stared wide-eyed at them while a stray piece of meat fell out of Isaac's mouth.
"When did you two…?" Isaac asked.
"There's not much to do in purgatory," Erica smiled a little embarrassed.
"There's always dying though," Boyd added. His tone alone changed Erica's expression.
"Do we really have to go there when we die?" Isaac asked.
"The curse of being supernatural," Boyd told him.
"You're talkative today," Derek noted.
"Does it worry you, Derek Hale?"
"It does," Derek said while watching him suspiciously.
"Why don't we get ready to move?" Erica suggested; Isaac and a reluctant Derek, complied.
"Patience is a virtue darling," Boyd whispered to her.
"Why are you talking like him?" Erica asked. "How are you alive?"
"Shouldn't your second question be your first? If you truly cared for this individual then the status of his life should be your prime concern.
"What happened to you?"
"Boyd is dead darling," he told her and his eyes flashed blood red.
"You!" she stepped back with a terrified look.
"I'm possessing your dead boyfriend for the time being to ensure that you do what is necessary. Katerina must be dealt with as well."
"How can you possess him?" Erica asked.
"My venom runs deep inside his veins. Yours and Katherine's as well."
"You only call her Katherine when you want to kill her," Erica remembered.
"And kill her I shall, but first we must journey to the temple. There's a story that Derek Hale must hear if he is to join our cause."
Silence. Then a rustle of leaves. A girl simply enjoying a day out in Mystic Falls…until. The predator pounced with such precision and swiftness that the victim stood no chance. He ravaged her neck and blood smeared the entirety of his faced. Her body fell soon after completely drained.
Alaric Saltzman stood over the corpse with mixed emotions just as he had done countless times. Part of him loved every second of the kill while the other part hated taking an innocent life. He always picked on strangers or anyone visiting Mystic Falls. Sometimes he even lured strangers into town.
"Quite the mess you've made," Bonnie said as she peered out from behind a tree.
"Macbeth," Alaric said with distaste.
"You intrigued me. The enhanced original with an alter ego. It was quite a story to hear about."
"Who did you hear it from?"
"Oh forgive me. I always think of the memories I obtain from my vessels as stories being told to me. Such a fascinating tale, the things that happen in this little town. 500 year old ex comes to town, originals follow, hunters and even the first immortal being himself. Not to mention the great Qetsiyah."
"What do you want?"
"To learn, to be so bathed in knowledge that it kills me. But most of all what I want is to not have to worry about time because time is what brings all living things to their end. You could say I want to be undead."
"You want to become a vampire," Alaric said in surprise.
"Close. I want to become you."
"You can't have my body," Alaric bared his fangs.
"Who said anything about your body?" Bonnie laughed, then snapped his neck.
"Still not word from him?" Liz asked April as she ended the latest attempt to reach Alaric.
"Knock, knock," Liz heard someone say and she knew exactly who it was.
"You're right on time Victor," Liz stated as he walked inside the office.
"What do you mean?" Victor was confused seeing as he thought he was making a surprise visit.
"I think it's time we had another chat," Stiles said from behind the door while closing it shut.
"Why are you here? You said you wouldn't interfere."
"I can't exactly remember my words since you stole my memories."
"I assume you think asking me nicely would return them."
"Sit down, silver wolf. You're not going anywhere until I remember everything."
"I'm glad you came," Victoria told Katherine as she approached.
"You say that like I had a choice."
"Right. So eager to find your daughter. Don't worry this is the last few things I require you to do before you get your mother-daughter reunion."
"What is it?"
"Where is Enzo?" Victoria asked then grabbed her head in pain.
"Your mind games won't work on me," Katherine told her proudly.
"I see. You're one of the few exceptions."
"Like the originals. I saw you stalking Klaus' little brother. Instead of just entering his mind you were creeping."
"Clever girl. The originals emit some sort of brainwave that blocks my telepathy. They do it unknowingly so there's no way of breaking it. I believe it happens over time. A thousand years of using your brain."
"Get to the point," Katherine was growing impatient.
"I have one simple task. I want you to kill Damon Salvatore
Enzo woke up in a strange place. He was unsure how he got there or where he was. His head was pounding but that soon faded; the perks of being a vampire. He was in a dark room and quickly found the door.
His memories was foggy but he remembered talking to Katherine. He told her about Victoria's hold on her. He had found probably the one thing in the world Katherine cared about, her daughter.
He ran outside quickly but couldn't move further than a few feet. The sun began burning him and his eyes fell to his finger where his daylight ring was inconveniently missing. He ran back inside with urgency and fell to the floor while crying out in pain. That's when he saw a piece of paper on the floor. It was a message from Katherine: 'When the sun goes down, come and find me.' There was a familiar address written underneath.
"I can't wait to see how she pulls this off," Enzo laughed.
"Are you okay?" Matt asked Rebekah as he entered the house.
"I'm fine."
"Your friend got killed, you're not fine."
"She wasn't my friend. She was a witch I needed to cloak Hope's presence," Rebekah told him.
"Don't do that."
"Do what?" she turned to look at him then.
"Pretend that you don't care because I know you do. You went out of your way to prove to me that you care."
"Do you want me to cry and mourn her death?"
"I want you to do something…anything. Show me that the Rebekah I know is still there."
"Ironic coming from you. What happened to wanting to stay human and get out of this town?"
"A few weeks ago I had my normal life. Magic didn't exist here. My life was utterly boring and I loved it. Then my dream ended. I realized two things then."
"What?" Rebekah asked when Matt paused.
"The first is that I'm never leaving this town. The second is that I'm going to die a horrible death so I might as well become a vampire so I can go down fighting."
"You can fight even though you're human."
"Can I? I stood there while Tyler got killed and I couldn't do anything. I still can't do anything."
"What do you think becoming a vampire will solve?"
"I'll be faster, stronger. I'll be able to defend myself."
"Wrong. Your guilt of being unable to help Tyler will be magnified. The guilt will eat away at you until you turn it off. By the end of the week you'll have fed on more people than you can keep track off until Elena and the others are forced to kill you. You have a beautiful human life that we all crave. Don't throw it away."
"Why are we walking through the woods again?" Elena asked Caroline.
"I figured we could talk," Caroline said.
"I told you Caroline, I'm okay with you and Stefan being together."
"I saw Tyler," Caroline said after a long pause.
"What?"
"It was an illusion at the traveler's house but it felt real. He was mad about me and Stefan. Tell me the truth Elena, am I moving too fast? I don't want to rush into something with Stefan as an excuse to get over Tyler."
"Look…"
Elena couldn't say more because of what they heard. Swift footsteps were heard; something was running on all fours towards them.
"A werewolf?" Caroline asked unsure.
"Caroline look out!" Elena shouted as the dark brown wolf pounced on Caroline.
Elena quickly uprooted a small tree and used it to hit the wolf before he could bite Caroline. The wolf was sent hurtling into a nearby tree but quickly recovered. It growled then looked up at them. Then it stopped.
"Why'd it stop growling?" Caroline asked then the wolf began shifting into a man.
"Who are you?" Elena asked.
"I can't believe it's you."
"You know him?" Caroline asked.
"I've never seen him before," Elena told her as the stranger began walking towards her.
"Stay back!" Elena warned but the stranger didn't comply.
"I've missed you, my beautiful Tatia," then the stranger kissed her.
"Alright time to make a game plan," Damon said as he stood in the Salvatore home with Stefan, Scott and Jackson.
"I think we'll need more than one plan," Jackson told him.
"And why's that?"
"There's Katherine, Victor and the travelers to deal with. We're not going to get them all with one plan."
"Clearly you've never seen any of our plans in action. We just need one grand plan."
"We can't take out three enemies we barely know anything about," Stefan spoke up then.
"Didn't Katherine want to help us?" Jackson asked.
"Yea but we can't trust her," Damon said.
"What if we make her think we trust her?" Scott asked.
"Then we can focus on the others while keeping her close," Jackson added.
"Yea see trusting Katherine at all is not a grand plan," Damon told them.
"You're all forgetting our top priority," Stefan reminded them.
"Bonnie," Damon remembered.
"We still have no way of getting her back," Stefan pointed out.
"That's where we come in," Luke said as he and Liv walked in holding a sword.
"That's the sword?" Jackson asked and they nodded.
"Well then let's go hunting for Macbeth," Damon said.
"Where's Scott?" Kira asked Liam and Malia.
"Discussing battle strategy," Liam told her.
"You just need to focus on resting," Malia told her.
"No I can help," Kira stated.
"They don't even have a plan yet. You should rest until we're ready," Liam suggested.
"Or maybe you can sit this battle out," Malia shot Liam a death glare that made him gulp.
"Where's Stiles?"
"Who knows," Malia said softly.
"It's not his fault," Kira told her.
"You're not mad at him?" Malia asked.
"He was just as confused as I was to be back. There was no way he could be certain it was me," Kira defended.
"He didn't mention anything to anyone," Liam pointed out.
"Would you? They'd just think it was another trick. Stiles not telling anyone is what caused you guys to figure it out in the first place. You should be thanking him not shunning him."
"You have a weird way of thinking," Malia noted.
"Go find him. Stiles is smart. They'll need him."
"What's so funny?" Liz asked as Victor started laughing.
"I find it amusing that you think you can keep me here."
"I want you to tell me everything," Stiles said.
"And if I don't?"
"Modric's on our side. You have no allies now," Stiles told him.
"Modric would never betray me. He's too smart for that," Victor replied proudly.
"I don't know, men tend to do crazy things for love. He was desperate to see Tatia."
"You didn't," Victor was getting angry.
"I asked Caroline to take Elena out with her. He came to me after you ordered him to kill the sheriff's daughter."
"You put a hit on my daughter?" Liz asked angrily.
"It appears you've backed me into a corner. You're very much like your mother."
"You knew my mother?" Stiles asked.
"She was a special one. You couldn't handle everything I told you so you asked me to take the memories away."
"Give them back now!" Stiles demanded.
"What do you have to offer me in return?"
Stiles went to the sheriff desk and pulled something from under it, "I'll give you the recording of your confession. The council will not be happy to hear you ordered a hit on the sheriff's daughter. Then you'll never become mayor."
"Fine. I'll give you back your memories," Victor said after deep thought.
"The travelers are planning on turning Peter into some kind of super weapon. We have to tell Scott and the others," Lydia was pacing back and forth.
"We can't," Kate told Lydia.
"I kept quiet last night because you asked me to Allison. I can't anymore," Lydia told her.
"If the travelers die then I go back to being dead," Allison admitted. Lydia took a minute to let that sink in.
"How?"
"I made a deal with the travelers and they brought her back," Kate explained.
"The only way to stop Peter is to kill them all. I'm not ready to die yet," Allison spoke softly.
"I'm sorry Allison but you already died," Lydia had a sympathetic look on her face then she turned to leave. Kate made a motion to stop her but Allison held out her hand.
"Let her go," Allison said with a sad expression on her face.
"She'll tell them and then you'll die," Kate protested.
"There's something I have to tell you."
"Did he just call you Tatia?" Caroline asked in shock.
"He kissed me," Elena was more concerned with that fact.
After the kiss, he ran off somewhere with lightning speed. Elena was too shock to even move. By the time she got a hold of herself, the man returned with a flower in his hand.
"This beautiful flower for my beautiful Tatia," he handed Elena the flower and kissed her hand.
"Elena," Caroline looked at her but Elena had another idea.
"What's your name?"
"You don't remember me? Victor said that you wouldn't but still."
"You know Victor."
"Yes Victor has been helpful to me ever since your death. He is the one that gave me hope that I would one day see you again," the man talked with great passion as he looked at Elena.
"Now we're together again," Elena said and Caroline mouthed "What are you doing?" to her.
"You don't remember but my name is Modric."
"Why did you attack my friend Modric?"
"Victor ordered her death."
"Why would he do that?" Caroline asked.
"He can't kill your mother because she's the sheriff so the only way to hurt her is through you. Then she'll step aside so he can become mayor."
"Why would he want to become mayor?"
"So that us werewolves can roam the town free without prosecution."
"Victor is a werewolf," Elena realized.
"Yes, he's called the great silver wolf."
"Is he dead?" Josephine asked as she looked at Peter's unmoving body.
"He's in transition," Klein informed her.
"Where did Macbeth go?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you."
"How can you be so blindly loyal to him?" Josephine asked Klein.
"Not all of us had a Kol to run away with."
"They'll succeed you know, the vampires."
"How could you say that?"
"You've seen them, the enemies they've faced. They always stick together and they even got the wolves to help them out. They have their own little army."
"You doubt Master Macbeth's ability."
"He's in the body of a teenage witch. He can't use his full power. We could take down together if we tried."
"You think it's possible for us to defeat Macbeth?" Klein asked and Josephine smiled at that. "What?"
"You didn't call him master."
"Now that we have the sword, all we need is to find Victor," Stefan stated.
"Actually Stiles is probably talking to him right now," Scott admitted.
"What?" Even Jackson was surprised by this.
"He wanted to get his memories back."
"I thought you said we can't trust him," Jackson reminded him.
"He's my best friend. I've always trusted him and I always will."
"Call him now," Damon ordered.
"He said he'll call when he got his memories back."
"Call now!" Damon bared his fangs.
"Not yet!" Scott eyes flashed red.
"Enough Damon," Stefan held him back and looked at Jackson who made no motion to restrain Scott.
"Don't look at me, he's the Alpha."
"I'm trusting Stiles. He always comes through.
"We need to make tracks," Boyd told the others.
"And if I refuse?" Derek opposed.
Boyd walked up to Derek and his eyes flashed red. He then grabbed Derek by his throat. Isaac was about to get involved but Erica held him back.
"That's not Boyd," she explained.
"What do you mean?" Isaac wondered.
"I am the Supreme Alpha. The ruler of all lycanthropes. You, Derek Hale, have no business opposing me." Boyd let go of Derek then who fell to his knees.
"Why don't you just kill me?" Derek asked.
"I don't want to kill you. The Hale family are direct descendants of my bloodline. You are pure werewolves."
Alaric stood unconscious on the floor while Bonnie stood over him. She looked at him from every angle and tested several weakness. She was about to begin her spell when a flash of red hair caught her eye.
"Victoria."
"Macbeth."
"What do you want?"
"Come now, you know what I want."
"So you've come to kill me?"
"Not quite yet. My plan is going well," Victoria boasted and Bonnie laughed at that.
"The youngster called Enzo found the place where you hid your niece. Katherine has already found her daughter. She will not do as you ask anymore."
"You're lying," Victoria said with a shocked expression.
"Go on, I'll let you invade my thoughts for a minute or two," Bonnie flashed her a smile.
"You're behind this aren't you," Victoria accused.
"This is your own doing. You underestimated the youngsters and now you have no one in your corner."
"They'll go after you before they come after me. That much I'm sure."
"Then they'll all die by the hand of Macbeth."
"You lost your new body," Victoria pointed to the spot where Alaric no longer laid.
"How?"
"He was never unconscious. I heard his thoughts from a mile away. Weren't you curious as to how I found you?"
"You'll pay for this."
"No Macbeth, you'll be the one to pay."
Victor placed his hands on Stiles' head and he winced in pain. Images began flashing in his mind so quick he fell on one knee when Victor released him. Victor took advantage of the situation to grab the recording.
"How do I know this is real?" Stiles asked between breaths.
"I can take memories but altering with them is something only powerful witches can do."
"I remember everything," Stiles said to himself.
"Now down to business," Liz interrupted.
"I'll become mayor and if you agree to stand aside I won't harm you or your daughter."
"Actually I've decided that I will become mayor and run you and your werewolf pal out of town."
"You'll regret opposing me," Victor gritted his teeth.
He was so focused on Liz that he paid no attention to Stiles who took the opportunity to stab him. Victor winced in pain and fell to his knees.
"I don't think so," Stiles said and stepped back to watch Victor who began laughing uncontrollably.
"This foolish bone, the blood of a true Alpha. None of that can kill me," Victor pulled the bone out of his stomach and got to his feet. His smile then faded as he fell on one knee.
"It can't kill you but it still affects you," Stiles explained.
"What have you done to me?"
"Modric is really clever. He planned the whole thing."
"Just spit it out Allison," Kate said after Allison had been silent for a while.
"You don't have to worry," Allison finally spoke.
"Why not? What don't I know?"
"Don't move Kate!" Chris Argent jumped out from behind a tree with a gun pointed at Kate.
"You think you can take me on alone," Kate asked then a shot was fired at a tree nearby her. However, the shot came from behind her. She turned around to see Braeden there.
"He brought back-up," she announced.
"Dad stop!" Allison intervened.
"You're coming with me," Chris ordered.
"Go. I'll tell you some other time," Allison told Kate who had bared her fangs.
A reluctant Kate retreated into the forestry while Chris kept looking at her. Chris didn't relax until a few minutes after Kate had disappeared.
"Where have you been?" Allison asked her father.
"I've been tracking Kate. Why were you meeting with her?"
"She's on our side."
"She's lying."
"No Dad, she's the one that brought me back."
"What?"
"I'll tell you everything."
"Where are we going Jer?" Matt asked Jeremy as they were driving down the road.
The atmosphere between the two was still tense ever since Jeremy's outburst yesterday. Matt had tried his best to avoid Jeremy but that failed. Jeremy had came to pick him up and claimed it was important. He said nothing after that and they had been driving for about half an hour.
"We're going to get weapons."
"Weapons for what?"
"Damon has a plan to deal with everything."
"They're still letting Damon make plans. The last one killed him and Elena."
"It's not just Damon. Stefan and the wolves are helping out too. First we get Bonnie back then we avenge Tyler's death.
"What about the travelers?"
"Macbeth first. We'll worry about the others later."
"Why do we have to leave town to get weapons?"
"It's a special place Alaric and I made. The house is in my name so no vampire can enter."
"What about wolves?"
"We didn't need to worry about werewolves at the time," Jeremy said a little embarrassed that they had no defenses against wolves.
"Let's just hope that doesn't blow up in our faces."
"You planned out all that by yourself?" Elena was impressed.
"I trust Victor but I needed to have insurance."
"We could use all that," Caroline said.
"No need. The plan is already underway," Modric told them.
"How?"
"Stiles is dealing with it right now."
Elena's phone rang then and she answered and had a brief conversation.
"What's wrong?" Caroline asked
"What's wrong my love?" Modric asked at the same time.
"Damon called. He needs us to come right away. We're getting Bonnie back!"
"What do you mean we're pure werewolves?" Derek asked Boyd as they journeyed towards the shrine.
"I could explain it all to you but there's no point right now."
"Why not?"
"It's better if you read the story yourself."
"The story's in the shrine," Derek realized.
"The history of werewolves. My history. Everything will make sense soon Derek Hale and then you must make a difficult decision."
"What kind of decision?" Derek wondered.
"Master maybe we should tell them now," Erica spoke for the first time. Boyd stopped walking then and looked at Erica who lowered her head.
"Look at me!" Boyd ordered and she raised her head. He then slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground. "I make the decisions darling. Do not question me!"
Lydia ran into the house quickly and found Malia, Liam and Kira there.
"Why are you guys at the dead woman's house?" Lydia asked.
"Damon suggested we come here since their house might not be safe," Liam explained.
"What's wrong?" Malia asked.
"We have to warn the others about Peter!" Lydia exclaimed.
"I'm afraid I can't allow that," Klein appeared in the doorway.
"Who are you?" Liam asked.
"You're going to forget everything about Peter Hale. You won't even remember what he looks like," Klein then began chanting.
"I'm glad you came," Josephine told Rebekah as she approached.
"Why am I here?"
"I want to help you," Josephine explained.
"You want to betray Macbeth?"
"Not exactly. I want to help you find Kol."
"You know where he is?"
"No but I can find out. Your witch friend managed to find him."
"How do you know that?"
"I noticed a locator spell was being performed and she found her target. I was the one who ordered her death."
"You killed her," Rebekah said angrily.
"I had to do what was needed to stay close to Macbeth."
"You're afraid of him."
"Yes but not right now. When he isn't in his real body he isn't at full power. He can be killed without much difficulty."
"He's in the Bennett witch's body."
"A small sacrifice to be rid of Macbeth."
"There's no way you'll be able to get past Damon and the others to kill her."
"That's where you come in."
"You want me to kill her?"
"I need you to kill her."
"I can't."
"If you let Macbeth get back into his real body, all hell will break lose."
"Kol managed to kill him before."
"Which is why we need to find Kol now before Macbeth does."
"Macbeth is looking for Kol?"
"Kol knows something Macbeth doesn't want anyone else to know. He's sent a special traveler after him. Vorn is an assassin with the abilities of a witch. That's a deadly combination."
"What are you talking about?" Victor asked angrily.
"Modric told me about the previous true Alpha. Both of you encountered him and Modric decided to erase your memory of what happened. He figured out the blood of the true Alpha could affect you and decided to keep it as insurance."
"That bastard."
"When I was captured, he visited me rarely but he always told me secrets. Now I realized that it was all for this moment. He was the one who suggested that I ask you to erase my memories. He said I'd be clever enough to pull this off without my memories."
"Modric is just a pawn. He could never plan this."
"The crazy things men do for love. Back when he first met you he started plotting. He tolerated you because he had dreams for the future."
"What does the blood do?" April asked as Stiles pulled out two syringes filled with it.
"It strips him of his wolf powers. He'll be mortal while it's in his system."
"Then we can kill him," Liz stated but Stiles shook his head.
"No we can't. We need him alive. He knows things."
After slapping Erica, Derek and Isaac attacked him. Boyd was stronger so he easily defeated them. They kept on attacking until finally he knocked them out. Erica merely stood and watched while holding her face that had been slapped.
"I apologize dear. I merely wanted to prove my authority to them," Boyd tried to comfort her but she pushed him away.
"The travelers," Erica said softly.
"It appears they have succeeded. We should cloak ourselves for the night before moving to the shrine. We wouldn't want that abomination to find us."
"Are you afraid of him?"
"In this body I am as killable as the rest of you. I prefer to avoid serious fights until I rise again."
Lydia's head was hurting as she got up. She saw Malia and Kira close by and moved to wake them up. They seem dazed and confused. Lydia got up and noticed Liam's body so she went over and shook him. A few minutes later Lydia broke the strange silence.
"Did we fall asleep?" she asked them.
"I guess we did," Kira said.
"Hey you're all better," Malia noted.
"I guess sleep was all I need."
"We have to go," Liam told them while watching his phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Stiles needs us."
"I feel bad calling you," Rebekah said while on the phone.
"I know but this is a desperate situation."
"I understand that but something terrible has happened to Lena."
"I'm sorry to tell you this but she was killed."
"I have everything under control."
"With my life."
"I promise just don't worry."
Rebekah hung up the phone then and picked up Hope. She didn't have anything under control and she needed another witch. She had to go in town and compel some men to carry her stuff. She needed to leave Mystic Falls as soon as possible.
"Can we go any faster?" Matt asked as Jeremy raced down the road.
"Yea if you want us to die. Let me guess you have vampire blood in your system?"
"That's not funny."
"I think it is."
"I wasn't taking the easy way out. I just wanted to be useful for once."
"You are be useful. We're bringing weapons."
"Weapons I won't get to use."
"So you think these weapons are for all those vampires and werewolves back home?"
"They're for us," Matt realized.
"We made it for me, you and Tyler."
Matt was silent after Jeremy mentioned Tyler.
"We have to avenge him," he finally said.
"We will."
"Knock, knock," Bonnie said as she entered the Salvatore house. As expected, they were all waiting for him.
Damon, Stefan, Scott, Jackson, Elena, Caroline, Luke & Liv were all present. Bonnie stopped a few feet away from them, smiling evilly.
"Finally decided to kill me?" Bonnie asked.
"We have questions first," Stefan stated.
"And you think I'll answer them?"
"We're being hopelessly optimistic," Damon stated.
"I already told Scott my purpose so I don't see the need for questions."
Alaric attacked Bonnie with the sword then but she was prepared. She muttered a few words and he froze. Bonnie looked at the sword wide eye as if she could tell what it was from a glance. Damon and Stefan used the moment to attack.
As soon as they grabbed her, she came back to her senses and flung them off. She was stronger than them somehow. She tried to ignite them but soon realized she couldn't. Luke and Liv were chanting and blocking her magic. Bonnie grabbed the sword and sent it towards Liv but Caroline caught it before it could harm her.
Elena grabbed Bonnie from behind and held her still while Caroline approached with the sword. Bonnie struggled but Elena held her still.
"Time for you to get the hell out of our friend," Caroline declared then tried to stab her.
In that instant, Bonnie pulled Elena over and into the way of the blade. Bonnie grabbed the blade and flung it behind her then kicked Caroline who separated Luke and Liv. With the twins out of the way, Bonnie was free to do her magic again. Damon and Stefan had recovered as well as Alaric.
"Nice try but it won't work," Bonnie told them then suddenly she winced in pain. The sword was through her. She looked around and saw all of them there. Who had stabbed her?
"What happened to being able to sense my intent?"
Katherine!
The sun was down so Enzo ran off. As soon as he arrived in Mystic Falls he noticed Victoria standing there. He tried to turn around but she was already behind him.
"Going somewhere?"
"What do you want?"
"I didn't have you pegged as a coward."
"You didn't answer my question."
"How did you find Nadia?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm sure you don't. Come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"We're leaving Mystic Falls for 24 hours."
"Why so long?"
"The travelers will erect a barrier. It won't go down until then."
"Why not stay?"
"They'll all die, including those pesky newcomers. In 24 hours all my enemies will perish."
Katherine pulled the sword out of Bonnie who would've fell to the floor but Elena and Caroline were there. Caroline began feeding Bonnie her blood.
"You're welcome," Katherine told them.
"Why are you here?" Damon asked.
"So we're only friends when you're plotting for me to switch places with Elena."
"What is she talking about?" Elena asked.
"It's nothing," Damon avoided.
"I came to make allies. I was reluctant at first but seeing as we got rid of Macbeth, I think we can make this work."
"There's no we," Caroline told her.
"There's still Victor to deal with," Katherine pointed out and the door flung open then.
Stiles and Liam were holding Victor's unmoving body while Malia and Lydia walked behind her.
"We took care of Victor," Stiles announced.
