In the underground basement…
Julianna put the bloody whip down on a table, speed over to the sink to turn on the water and washed her bloody hands until they're clean, turn off the water and wipe her hands on her pants before she turned around, speed toward Katherine and harshly grabbed a fistful of her hair to bring her pale and pained-looking face up so she could glance at her.
"Listen here, doppel-bitch, I'm feeling quite parched now after our "fun" so I'll be heading out now to get myself something or someone to drink. While I'm gone, you're not to leave this place until I came back. Got it?" said Julianna coldly to Katherine as she compel her.
"Yes... I got it." said Katherine fearfully to Julianna.
"Good. But just in case, I'll take this from you." said Julianna as she take and yank Katherine's daylight ring away from her hand (which make Katherine weakly gasped and widened her eyes in fear), put the ring into her pocket before she turned, speed up the stairs and left Katherine alone in the basement.

In the Grill…
After both Asriel and John left the house, arrived at the Grill, got out of the car and soon after they entered the Grill, spotted and sat down at an empty booth and as John began taking out a small box of matches to start lighting a candle, both of them noticed Damon approaching them with a fake smile on his face, which make them failed to noticed Julianna coming into the Grill, stopped and see Asriel with a shock look on her face for a moment before she quickly make her way past the people toward the farthest empty booth in the corner, sat down and quietly watched Asriel, John and Damon.
"Vidar is here? But that can't be because he's already…" thought Julianna worriedly in her mind before a realisation look appear on her face and she started smiling. "Ah, I get it now. This boy must be his doppelganger somehow, just like how Katherine and Elena is Tatia's doppelganger. How interesting and wonderful for me to know that the doppelganger of Vidar has finally show up! I can't wait to tell him about this, he'll surely be very delighted and relieved to hear and know about it." added Julianna joyfully in her mind before she resumed watching them and listening to their conversation in silence while a waitress came to take her order and she only order a cup of premium roast coffee.
"Hello, Ash. And John, buddy. How've you been?" greeted Damon in feign politeness to them both and they turned to glance at him.
"I've been alright, Damon. It's good to see you." John greeted back to Damon with a fake smile on his face too while Asriel scowled at him.
"So, John, rumor has it that you know a lot and won't say anything." said Damon.
"What about it? How do I know you can be trusted Damon? I've heard from my son here that he saw that Originals can compel other vampires." said John.
"Yeah, I know. That's why Stefan and I are drinking vervain to prevent it, just in case." said Damon as he took the box of matches from John, light another candle and blew out the lit match.
"You guys are drinking vervain?" asked John in surprise at Damon.
"It's an acquired taste." replied Damon as he shrug his shoulder before he glance at John again. "I don't see that magic little ring of yours on that stitch finger of yours, so if you know something about Klaus, you better start talking or I will kill you in your sleep." said Damon threateningly at John and the next second, he let out a groan of pain, glance down at his left thigh and saw a knife impaled deeply into it.
"How dare you threaten my father in front of me, Damon Salvatore? Do you seriously have a death wish or just plain stupid?" snarled Asriel coldly at Damon (who glared at him) before he felt John put his hand on his shoulder to calm him down and he did.
"Wow. He's quite the brave and feisty one, doing that to a vampire. So very different from Vidar's kind and gentle nature." thought Julianna approvingly in her mind when she saw what Asriel did to Damon after he threaten John.
"It's alright, Ash. Now, is that anyway to convince me that you and I are on the same side? First, I need to know I can trust you Damon, that I can count on you. Then I'll talk." said John coolly to Damon (which make him glared at John then Asriel as he pull out the knife on his thigh).
After Damon pull out and put the bloody knife on the table, he turned and walked away from both John and Asriel with an annoy look on his face toward the bar to order himself a drink while both John and Asriel ordered their foods and drinks from a waitress that came to take their order and began eating and drinking their foods and drinks a few minutes later. Once they're done, Asriel's phone started ringing and he take it out from his pocket, saw that it's Stefan and answered it.
"Yes, Stefan. What is it?" asked Asriel.
"Asriel, remember the female wolf named Jules that bitten Rose before Damon gave her a merciful death? She and her pack have just kidnapped Caroline and is demanding a trade from us, Tyler for Caroline." replied Stefan grimly to Asriel.
"She did what!?" said Asriel with a shock then anger look on his face, which surprises and confuses both John and Damon before Asriel dismiss and put his phone back into his pocket and told them what Stefan just told him.
"We need to rescue Caroline from them and we're not going to hand Tyler over to them." said Asriel.
"Who cares about Tyler? He's a werewolf. He needs to die with them too and I'm willing to kill. It's a win, win for me." said Damon.
"No, you're not killing him, Damon. He may be a werewolf now but he's still the Lockwood boy that grew up here." said John.
Asriel, John and Damon argued some more until they finally come to a reluctant agreement that both Asriel and Damon will head to the boarding house to meet up with Stefan and get some weapons to fight them while John will head home to watch his family and wished Asriel good luck before they quickly left the Grill and Julianna finish her cup of coffee, put some money on the table and left the Grill to follow them.
"They're going on a rescue and killing mission, huh? This should be worth watching for me." thought Julianna excitedly in her mind as she follow after them.

A few minutes later, in the woods…
Jules is pacing left and right near the RV van, waiting for Stefan to show up with Tyler before she stops when she caught the scents of vampire, wolf and human hiding out of her sight not far from her. "I know you're hiding out there." Jules called out to them and Asriel, Stefan and Tyler stepped out from their hiding place, approach and stopped a few feet from her while Julianna watched in silence from far so that they can't see or detect her but she can still see them.
"Where's Caroline?" asked Stefan.
"Lock up tight in the RV van." replied Jules.
"Release her to us now, before things get messy and bloody around here." said Asriel warningly to Jules (who scoffed at his warning).
"We're not your enemies, Jules. But we'll be if you don't release Caroline to us." said Stefan.
"It's a little late to be waving a white flag, don't you think?" said Jules questioningly at Stefan.
"You need to leave town. No one else has to get hurt." said Stefan, warning her now.
"I'm not leaving without Tyler." said Jules.
"Not a chance. Give Caroline to us now." demanded Asriel coldly to Jules before Damon show himself, make his way toward Stefan, Asriel and Tyler and stopped next to Stefan.
"My brother and Ashy boy, the peace maker and the hunter." said Damon to them all and they glance at him. "Since Stefan and Asriel got here before me, I'm going to let them try it their way before I resort to my way. Which is a little bloodier. So, give us Caroline." ordered Damon warningly at Jules.
"Let go of Tyler." snapped Jules, narrowing her eyes at Damon.
"Give us Caroline. Without a full moon, it's not an even fight, you know it. We will take you." Damon told Jules, who tilted her head and smirk at him.
"What a stupid young vampire. Can't he hear the heartbeats of other werewolves in hiding around them other than the wolf bitch?" thought Julianna in her mind as she shake her head at Damon's naivety and stupidity.
"I'm not so sure about that, tough guy." said Jules smugly at Damon before she whistled loudly, causing the rest of her fellow wolf pack to emerged from their hiding places, each of them holding different axe and mace weapons in their hands, including a flame-thrower. "Let's try this again, give us Tyler." demanded Jules again to Stefan, Damon and Asriel, who glance at each other before they glance at Tyler.
"You heard her, go. Get over there." Damon told Tyler before Stefan release him and he quickly get away from them and head over to Jules.
"Which one of you killed Mason?" asked the tough-looking male wolf standing behind Jules to them.
"That would be me." replied Damon as he pointed at himself.
"Boys, make sure that one suffers." the tough-looking male wolf told the others as he raised and pointed a wooden stake at Damon.
"We can take them all." whisper Damon overconfidently at both Stefan and Asriel.
"I don't know about that." whisper Stefan unsurely to Damon.
"I agreed with Stefan, there's 3 of us and a group of them but we'll try our best." whisper Asriel in agreement with Stefan as he pull his sword out from behind him before the battle commenced.
All of the wolves immediately charge toward Damon, Stefan and Asriel, who quickly turned and split away from each other before both Damon and Stefan uses their vampire speed to their advantage to grabbed and yanked the weapons away from the wolves then ripped out their hearts.
As for Asriel, he dodged and deflected the axe and mace weapons that the other wolves try to swing, slash and hit him with his sword before he punch, kicked and slash down some of them until they lie unconscious or dead on the ground.
"Oh my, the way Asriel Gilbert, doppelganger of Vidar fought those wolves is not bad at all. He's quite the strong hunter and whoever taught him to fight must be a strong one too." thought Julianna in joy and approval in her mind as she watched the battle between a group of wolves, 2 vampires and a hunter.
Once Asriel is sure that the wolves who charge and attack him is all down except for the ones that's still attacking both Damon and Stefan, he quickly put his sword back behind him while making his way toward and into the RV van and saw with disbelief and anger look on his face at Caroline lying injured and bloody in a cage and at Tyler who stands there staring and do nothing to help her.
"Out of the way, Tyler!" snarled Asriel as he shoved Tyler aside, crouch down to opened the cage, reached in and lifted Caroline gently out of the cage in his arms (who whimper and wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulder) before he stood up, glared at Tyler then walked out of the RV van with Caroline.
Once Asriel stepped out of the RV van with Caroline in his arms, the remaining 3 wolves and Jules except Tyler (who also stepped out of the van behind both Asriel and Caroline) suddenly started screaming and clutching their heads in pain and agony due to a sharp, piercing sound that struck them before they all fell unconscious on the ground, much to the confusion of Stefan, Damon, Asriel, Caroline and Tyler.
"What's happening?" Caroline asked Asriel in a weak tone of voice.
"I don't know, Caroline." replied Asriel before he, Caroline, Tyler, Stefan and Damon heard the sound of someone approaching, turned to see who is it and saw that it's Jonas Martin (who's chanting and with his arms held out).
"Elijah made a promise to Elena and Asriel, I'm here to make sure that promise is up held. Go, get out of here, all of you, now." Jonas firmly told Stefan, Damon and Asriel and they nodded to him before they quickly left the area.
As Jonas watched them leave until they're out of his sight, he then turned to glance sternly at Tyler. "When the rest of your wolf pack awakes, give them this message; they need to get out of this town or else." said Jonas coldly and warningly to Tyler (who nodded nervously to him) before he turned and walked away.
"Well, that was quite the battle show I just watched before one of Elijah's warlock stepped in and helped them. Well, time for me to head back to resumed my "fun" on Katerina." thought Julianna to herself as she turned and speed away too.

An hour later, at the Gilbert's house….
"Welcome back, Ash. Did you and those two managed to rescue Caroline and is she alright?" asked John concernly to Asriel as he stepped into the house and into the living room right after he console and patched Caroline up and bring her back to her house.
"Yeah, we did and she's fine now, thanks for asking, dad." replied Asriel as he smiled reassuringly at John (who let out a relief sigh). "Where's Aunt Jenna, Elena and Jeremy?" asked Asriel.
"They're all upstairs, sleeping in their rooms." replied John.
"I see." said Asriel before he noticed a wrapped white cloth on the table. "What are those, dad?" asked Asriel again to John, who turned to glance and picked up the wrapped cloth before he approach Asriel.
"You mean these two items, Ash? I'll show and tell you what they are." said John as he opens the cloth to reveal a thin black dagger and a small bottle of ash to Asriel. "These 2 items is the only weapons that can kill an Original. In this vial is ash from a white oak tree that dates back to the time of the Originals. This dagger must be dipped into the ash and only humans can wield and plunge it into an Original's heart." John explain to Asriel.
"Wait, are you for real about these weapons? But how do you know about them and be sure that they'll work, dad?" asked Asriel unsurely at John about the weapons.
"Isobel, of course. And she's very sure in telling me that these weapons will work and I believe her, Ash." replied John.
"…Fine, dad. If you believe her then I believe you. One more thing, you said that only humans can wield and plunge this dagger into an Original's heart?" asked Asriel again.
"That's right, only humans can do it. For if any vampires do it, they'll die immediately. I intend to give it to Damon and explain and tell him about it while leaving out the part about it killing him." John told Asriel.
"You intend to give a weapon that can kill not only Originals but also vampires to Damon?" said Asriel.
"Yes. Why, you don't want me to, Ash?" said John as he narrowed his eyes at Asriel.
"I never say that, dad. He's deserves it anyway after what he did to Vicki, Jeremy and Caroline and his constant threats on others. But Stefan will be heartbroken." said Asriel with a cold look on his face about Damon before a sad look replaced it about Stefan.
"Yes, he will. But it had to be done. I'll be going to the boarding-house to give these weapons to Damon now and this is a secret between us, got it, son?" said John firmly to Asriel.
"Yeah, got it, dad." said Asriel as he nodded to John (who nodded back), watched him leave before he went upstairs to take a bath, change into his pajamas and went into his room to fell asleep.

In the underground basement….
"I'm back, doppel-bitch! Did you miss me?" said Julianna smugly at Katherine (who weakly groaned and look away from her) before she went to the table and picked up a sledgehammer. "Well, whatever. Ready for the "fun", Katerina?" added Julianna even more smugly at Katherine before she raised and swung the sledgehammer down and hard on Katherine's left kneecap, breaking the bones within and causing Katherine to scream out in pain and agony once again.
