Macy found out the next morning when she woke up in Damons arms, that she was feeling a tad jealous of this Katherine. He'd assured her that they were more over than Justin Bieber ever becoming a guy. Damon told her to relax and he went downstairs to find Katherine, who was no doubt hanging around, hoping to stir up trouble.

But when he went down, she wasn't there. Damon stood in front of the dying fire, staring at the amber glow that was left of it before turning back and finding Macy before him.

Damon blinked now, then said in surprise. 'How the hell did you do that?' Macy held up her ring, which wasn't on her finger and he realized- she was a vampire without it on. He chuckled, then took it, staring at the indentations before she tried to take it back, but he went. 'Ah-ah, not so fast. Just what can you do?'

Macy raised an eyebrow, then put her arms around his neck and said. 'I could bite the crap outta you.' Damon smirked now, then said. 'Oh really?' then he kissed her neck, hands at her waist.

Macy sighed now, then went. 'No, someone'll burst in soon enough.' the took her ring back and put it on- Damon watched her fangs recede and vanish. He rolled his eyes, then said. 'Live a little yeah?' Macy snorted, then let him go. 'Says you.'

'Well I'm just this extremely sexy guy you can't keep your hands off.'

''You seriously milked that.'

'Oh yeah?'

'Bite me (!)'

'Maybe later sweetie.'

Macy raised an eyebrow, then smirked. 'Dream on.' Damon grinned, then kissed her again.

Blair woke up with a slight headache, but otherwise completely fine. He got up, then went downstairs- Macy wasn't back yet, and he doubted she would be for a good while. Freaking Damon...

Heard voices now, then saw Diana with her head on Jeremys shoulder in the living room. 'Hey.' Diana said as he walked bare chested into the room and he smirked at Jeremy. 'Bet I've got a better body than you.'

Diana rolled her eyes, then said to him. 'Out. And stop being so annoying for once!'

Blair chuckled and grabbed his dark blue shirt, pulling it on and pulled his black boots on, heading out with his hair still wild. Then again, it was always wild.

He went to the Grill now, sat alone at the bar when he heard a chuckle, then turned to his left to see Elena, but-? Then he realized and she put a hand on his arm and said. 'I'm not going to try anything.'

Blair smirked, then raised his glass. 'Katherine. And just how did bitchy you get out?' She shrugged, then took his glass and finished it. 'Oh, your daddy can be fooled quite easily. I should know.'

He glared now, then asked. 'Why are you still here?' She set the glass down and said. 'Because I said I'd protect Elena ok? I'm sure you've heard of Klaus and the Sun and Moon curse?' He nodded, then said quietly. 'I don't trust you. What if you're in league with Ewan?'

She snorted now, then said with a laugh. 'Ewan? He can go to hell.' then she frowned at him and said. 'Half human, half vampire... curious... your mother, Macy, should never have been able to carry a half child... let alone two. There have been cases before...' Blair raised an eyebrow, and she added. 'The mothers die in childbirth... so does the child... usually.'

Blair listened quietly, then said with a glare. 'Oh? And why would you share that with me?' Katherine chuckled, then stood up. 'You're interesting Blair. That's why.' Blair now asked. 'Do you know what they key pieces make?' She chuckled, but didn't answer, then she walked off and out the door.

'Man have we got some crap to sort.'

He looked up now to see his father, then he said. 'Your ex just came by.' Damon groaned and said. 'We can't trust her! She says she'll "help" but yeah right.'

Blair nodded and said. 'Agreed. She knows something about the pieces. I'm sure.' Damon nodded. 'I think she knows more than she's letting onto anyway.'

Blair was silent, then said quietly. 'I'll get it out of her. She kind of listens to me.' Damon chuckled and said. 'Yeah. Because you're my bratty son.' Blair didn't laugh, but was thinking.

Maybe he could weasel it out of her.

Jeremy listened in silence as Diana told him of their situation, then frowned. 'That key piece... could you show it me?' Diana shook her head. 'Damon has it.' Jeremy sighed, then said. 'I think... I might know what you're on about.'

Diana frowned, but let him take her hand and out the door.

She sat on his bed now as he went through a draw, then threw her some battered diaries. Diana frowned and looked at them. 'What are these?' Jeremy sat back down now, then said. 'The Gilbert journals. Jonathan Gilbert invented these... weapons against vampires, and he put them down as drawings in here- at least, some. Most of the journals are still missing.'

Diana frowned and said. 'You think this might be-?'

He nodded.

For about an hour, they scoured the journals, but found nothing.

'What are you guys doing?'

Elena come in now, frowning at the open diaries. Diana held one up. 'The key piece. It might be an invention or something. But-' Jeremy spoke. 'It's not in any of these.'

Elena folded her arms and said. 'Well, there were more at the-'

Jeremy looked up. 'More?' Elena nodded, then said. 'Yeah, I bought them back. They're at Stefans.' Diana stood up now, then said with a grin. 'Thanks Elena.' then walked out. Jeremy stared at his sister, then he sighed and asked. 'You are ok right? With me and Diana?' She sighed too, then said. 'Yes. For Damons daughter, she seems... much more sensible anyway.' Jeremy chuckled, 'Thanks.' then followed her.

Jeremy read the diary in silence now- Stefans past was... dark. If it wasn't for that ring, Jonathan Gilbert would have been dead like the other founding famailies. Honoria Fell... loads were murdered.

'Stefan sounded worse than your daddy dearest when he was changed.' He said quietly, and Diana took the book, but then a voice said. 'Yes, I was.'

Stefan came around now, followed by Elena and took the diary, sitting down and turning the page over. 'I was a monster back then. It was only because of a friend- a very good friend called Lexi that set me on the straight really.'

Diana smiled. 'I'd like to tell her thanks then.' Stefan was quiet for a second, then said. 'She's dead... Damon killed her.'

Her smile faded, and then she frowned at the page she was looking at. 'Hey- I found it!' she said, and the other two huddled around as she went to read aloud, but Damons voice came in now, followed by Blairs, and she called. 'Throw us the piece here a moment.' Damon frowned, but then reached into his pocket and threw it her. She compared it to the one in the picture and said. 'Yes, it's the same.'

Damon walked over and picked it up now as Diana started reading aloud.

"Of all the inventions, the first one was the most feared- the Originals set about controlling the vampires, seeing to that the rules were never broken and upheld-"

Stefan nodded and said. 'Like Elijah said- it was forbidden to kill another vampire.

Diana continued reading, then said in a hollow voice. 'This is more than a weapon... it's control. Exactly that. Put the pieces together, and...'

Damon raised an eyebrow and said. 'What?'

Diana chewed her lip, then said. 'The Originals used it... to control vampires they wanted to kill without others finding out the primary rule had been broken.'

Damon frowned, then said. 'How does it work?' Diana shook her head, turning the page over with a frown. 'He never found it... so he made his own version. One that would incapacitate any nearby vampire.'

Stefan nodded. 'Yes, we know of that one. What's the difference between the two?' Diana sighed. 'The smaller, copied one only incapacitated... the original one kills if the one holding it wishes to... '

Damon snorted now. 'So basically, it's an Originals lazy killing device?' Diana nodded, then grimaced. 'It was made by Originals, for Originals... but only selected ones.' She groaned. 'Ewan must be one of them, or it won't work for him... there's three pieces to it, but the last one doesn't conn-' But now she froze as the dawning realization of the words on the page made sense-

'I'm the last part.' she realized.

No wonder halfs were so elusive... they'd all been killed off...

Ewan didn't want Blair- he wanted her.

A pure bloodied half vampire.

The last key.
