I got persuaded by somebody (you know who you are) to keep updating Elijah's friend Marie, so here you are. Enjoy ;)

I waited outside the house whilst Elena signed the deed to it. According to Damon it was going to be like her own personal safe house, until Elena was no longer in danger. Elena would have to die before she would be no longer in danger.

"Do you think he killed her?" Damon asked.

"Katherine?" Stephan asked and Damon nodded. "Probably."

"It's not like she didn't have it coming," Damon said.

"Yeah."

I was in one of my dog forms. We waited for the man in charge of the deed to come out. And as soon as he did the Salvatore brothers walked forwards. Elena thanked the man as he left and shook hands with him.

All of us walked towards the door and stopped knowing that we couldn't get into the house now.

"I'm sorry, I completely forgot," Elena said. "Stephan, would you like to come inside my house?"

"I would love to. Thank you," Stephan said with a smile.

"Marie, do you promise to not un-dagger Elijah?" Elena asked. I sighed but nodded slowly. "Come on in then," Elena smiled.

At some point I would break that promise, probably quite soon. Unlike Elijah, I didn't always keep my word. Elena turned to Damon as Stephan and I walked inside the house. She looked at Damon for a long moment.

"What are we twelve?" Damon asked.

"One of us is," Elena answered. "If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?"

"No," Damon answered flatly.

"Seriously Damon," Elena said. "My way. You promised. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas, remember?"

"Yes Elena. Sure," Damon said finally.

"Then please come in," Elena said.

Damon walked in and told Stephan to shut up as he walked by him. I saw a girl hand Elena a jacket. I would have asked who I was but it would be a bit weird if I transformed right in front of her.

"Wait, where are you going?" Stephan asked.

"School," both of the girls answered.

"No, no, no, we didn't create a safe house for you to leave it," Damon pointed out.

"Yeah, guys Klaus is out there," Stephan added. "We know that."

"Right, but where? No one knows. Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing I'll be safe here but I'm not going to be a prisoner," Elena answered.

"Your way Elena," Damon muttered.

"Don't worry, I'm ready," the girl next to Elena said. "If he shows his face, I can take him, I know how."

"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be," Elena said with a light smile.

And with that the two girls left. At least I knew who the witch was now. Stephan scoffed as the door closed behind them. Then Stephan went after them.

"Stephan goes to school too … sometimes," Damon explained to me.

It was just after lunch time when Elena, Bonnie and Stephan came back to the house. Klaus had made his first move. He had compelled somebody to ask Elena if she could save him the last dance.

"So we go to the dance and we find him," Damon said.

"How? We don't even know what he looks liked," Stephan pointed out.

"What about little Marie? She could sniff him out," Damon said.

"I probably couldn't. It sounds like there's going to be a lot of people there. All I'll be able to smell is humans and food," I replied.

"Something tells me he's not going to be sixteen and pimply," Damon said.

"He could be anywhere at any time," Stephan said. "He compelled somebody at school, I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought."

There was a knock at the door and Alaric came in, he smelt different though. He must have changed his shampoo or something.

"There you are," Damon said.

"Sorry, I'm late," he said.

"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight," Damon said to Alaric. "Klaus made his first move."

"Ok, so we find him and then what?" Elena asked.

"Can I point out that we haven't said how we're going to find him," I muttered but nobody was listening.

"What's our plan of attack?" Elena asked.

"Me," Bonnie answered. "I'm the plan; he has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him."

"That's not going to be that easy," Alaric said.

"Alaric's right. If all my years with Elijah told me something it's that Klaus is worth keeping away from if you don't want to lose your head … or worse," I said.

"He's the biggest baddest vampire around," Alaric added.

"You two have a point, I mean, what if he-"

Damon didn't finish his sentence, instead he ran at Bonnie with full vampire speed. The next thing I knew, Damon was flying through the air in the other direction. I looked at Bonnie who stood in exactly the same position she had a minuet ago without a scratch. Damon got up.

"Well, I was impressed," Stephan said with a small smile.

"It doesn't matter if he's an original. I can take down anyone who comes at me," Bonnie said. "I can kill him Elena, I know I can."

"So am I coming to this dance or not?" I asked Damon.

"If there's even the smallest chance that you can sniff out Klaus then you're coming, so yes," Damon answered.

"Okay, but there's no way that I'm dressing up," I answered. "Skinny jeans and hoodies are perfectly fine."

"Okay but if you get weird looks, it's not my fault," Damon answered.

I was right. When we got there all I could smell were the humans, food and a little alcohol … okay, a lot of alcohol, mainly vodka. There was no way that I would be able to tell if someone was a vampire unless I was right next to them.

"Thank you for being here everybody," the girl on the stage shouted. "We have a special shout-out tonight. It's for Elena, from Klaus," the girl shouted and everybody cheered except out little party.

We stood looking around us. Elena had gone very pale. Crap. This wasn't going to be fun at all. Well I wasn't about to start dancing so I went over to the edge of the hall and stood watching everybody.

About fifteen minutes after we had all arrived, Damon came running over to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Klaus is after Elena, help me find her," Damon said.

Immediately I breathed in. I concentrated so hard that every smell in the room became faint as did the noise. I found Elena's scent.

"This way," I said pulling Damon along through the crowd and outside.

Her scent was so hard to follow because of all of the people. Once outside the trail was being blown around by the wind. Crap. I breathed in deeply and the scent led back inside through a door at the side of a building. I couldn't open to door it was stuck.

"It's stuck," I said.

"Move," Damon instructed. I moved aside and Damon kicked it so hard that it came off its hinges.

"Or you could just do that," I muttered as I ran inside the building.

I breathed in deeply, trying to get a good grip on the scent. I raced down the hallways with Damon. Bonnie and Elena were running towards us. Damon immediately told Elena to get out of the way and find Stephan.

Klaus was in Alaric's body. Oh, my god, I was such an idiot! That was one of Klaus's favourite tricks! Elijah had told me about that. Alaric did smell different but because he wasn't Alaric.

The next few minutes went by too fast for me to make sense of. Bonnie went back to fight Klaus/Alaric, Damon let her go, Stephan and Elena turned up, Bonnie was doing well but then she collapsed and died.

I stood in the corner and watched as Damon told Stephan to take Elena home so that Damon could take care of Bonnie's body. I wasn't exactly sure how my mind was reacting but my body stood frozen almost.

I stayed with Damon, although technically I didn't. My mind was far away. My mind was sorting through old memories.

I followed Damon in through the door.

"What did you do with her?" Elena bursted out.

"Please calm her down," Damon said to Stephan.

"Don't talk like I'm not standing here in front of you," Elena sobbed.

I actually felt sorry for her but then I remembered, she had helped kill Elijah. I had no feelings towards anyone in this group; they were all just colleagues to help kill Klaus even though it was clear that now we were all going to die trying.

"Please calm down," Damon said to Elena.

"You knew!" Elena shouted back at him. "Didn't you? You knew that if she harnessed all that power, that she would die, didn't you?"

"Yes," Damon said flatly. "Yes, I knew."

Elena let her hand fly at the vampire's cheek and to my surprise he didn't stop her from slapping him.

"You need to listen to me and prepare for what I'm about to say," Damon said. "Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise, she wasn't prepared for that. And he wasn't going to stop and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead. He had to believe it. She cast a spell. Bonnie's okay," Damon explained before he walked off.

Stephan stalked after him, no doubt questioning his motives. I wasn't going to stay with the girl who was still in a lot of shock and in a state of tears and so I went up to my room.

It was later on that night when I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in," I said.

Elena came in and I put the book back in my bag.

"How are you?" I asked trying to be friendly.

"I'm good," Elena answered as she handed me a piece of paper.

"So are you all sorted out with Damon?" I asked.

I guessed that whatever was written down was for my eyes only and seeing as the two vampires could hear every word we said, Elena had written down what she wanted to say. I opened the note and my heart leapt.

"Yeah, I was wondering if you could come for a walk outside with me, I need some fresh air," Elena said.

"Okay," I answered.

I put my bag on and followed her to the front door which she opened and closed to make it sound like we had gone outside. We then crept into the basement. Elena unlocked the door and I followed her inside. Seeing Elijah's body like that made me upset.

Elena and I knelt down next to him and Elena pulled out the dagger. Then we sat down and waited.
