Chapter 21: She Came Undone

Everyone was walking into the school, Samathea steps out of the car and walks up to the school, "Sammy, you're here. I got an auditorium." Caroline states as Bonnie and Matt walk up to her "You can help me write my speech." she states and Samathea rolls her eyes. "Not interested," she answers. "Come on we're graduating this year. This is it. We need to soak up every second before." Caroline states, but Samathea looks around, knowing that none of it was real. "It's a nice try, but this won't work," she calls out as she looks behind her. "What is wrong with you?" Damon asks her.

Samathea turns back around and saw Damon sitting in front of her, "Don't you want to be with your friends? Graduation parties? Caps, gowns?" he asks her as she glares at him. "You know the drill," he states and she shook her head and looks around as everyone was gone. "This is pathetic, Damon. Messing around in my head." Samathea states as she turns back to him and throws down her bag, "Relax, I just wanted to show you everything you're missing out on since you took the giant leap over the coco nest." he said as he stood back up and she looks at him, "All I remember was…" she states, "Let me guess, prom?" he asks her and she looks at him, "Beautiful dress, Gorgeous hair. You trying to murder Bonnie." he informs her, and she nods, remembering. "Good thing I was there to take care of you." he states and she just scoffs at him, "Take care of me? You're starving me, both you and Stefan are locking me up like an animal that might be capable of redemption." she snaps at him. "Yeah, we had to keep you weak so I could bring you here. See, what I figured is if I can make you nostalgic, then you're only half way to getting your humanity back," he informs her.

She just snorts, "This little plan of your won't work." she tells him, "Well, there are other ways to provoke an emotional response." he states as he steps closer to her, she crosses her arms steps closer to him. "Game on."

Damon opens his eyes and exhales, "Still have her lock in the safe? You've been in her head for an hour." Stefan states as he walks to his brother that was leaning against the door, "And still nothing?" he asks and Damon shook his head, "How are you doing in there?" Damon calls out as he then unlocks the safe door and there was Samathea as she was leaning against the wall "Come here." Damon said as he grips her arm and pulls her right out of the vault and she falls onto the ground, panting as she then sat right up and looks away. Damon just kneels down next to her, "Is the old Samathea ready to come home to play?" he asks her, she scoffs and looks at him. "I hope you choke on the next blood bag you drink from." she answers him, he nods, "Alright back you go," he states, pulling her back up, she struggles in his grips.

She was thrown into the safe and he quickly closes and locked it, "We can do this the easy way or the other way. But either way, we're not stopping until you turn your humanity back on, so I'm going to let you think about that and then I'm going to come back in a couple of hours or probably years because all we have is time." Damon tells her as Stefan drops his head for a second, Damon pats the safe as Stefan just looks right at it.

Caroline storms into the boarding house and past Stefan, "Where is she? I want to see her." she states as she looks around the house. "We're not letting anyone see her, that's the whole point, Isolation leads to misery. Misery leads to emotion."Stefan tells her as she opens the slide doors. "She's been locked up for days, she's hasn't improved at all," Caroline states as she looks in the room. "Look, she doesn't want to Caroline, never." Stefan informs her and Caroline turn to him, "She's devastated, heartbroken. She lost her brother and sister, she attacks her friends, she killed an innocent woman." he informs her, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

Then she turns back to him. "You said you can help her." she states, "I did and we are," he answers her again. "How? By torturing her?" Caroline questions him, "It's not torture, it's an intervention." Stefan corrects her, the only chance we have with her is to provoke her, is to trigger something. Fear, anger, self-pity anything." Stefan informs her and Caroline exhales. "Let me talk to her," she states and Stefan exhales. "Before anymore interventioning, if she's weak, she can't hurt me," she states and Stefan just sighs. "Please, just let me try," she asks and he just looks away.

Samathea was leaning against the wall as she was letting out ragged breathing. Stefan and Caroline look down at her as she was very pale. Samathea flutters her eyes open and glares up at Caroline and Stefan as she was not happy. Stefan then walks over next to Caroline. "Good luck," he whispers to her then walks out of the room. Caroline looks back at Samathea and pulls out a bottle of blood, "I brought you something." Caroline states and Samathea's eyes snap right to it and her eyes pulsed. "It doesn't have any vervein in it, I swear," Caroline informs her as she steps carefully over to her. "I just figured a little blood might help you think straight," she informs he, un-corking then cap and offers her the bottle. Samathea looks at her, sighs and took the bottle and from her and chucks the blood.

Caroline sighs and looks down at Samathea "For the record, I don't agree with what they're doing." she states as she kneels down in front of her and Samathea pants as she finished the blood. "I mean, I get why they're doing it, you need to turn your humanity back on, but I don't think making you suffer is the way to do it." Caroline states as Samathea looks down at the bottle as she was tapping the glass against the floor. "That's not who you are." she states and Samathea smirks, "And you think you know exactly who I am? What I need?" she questions her. "Because we've been friends forever." Caroline answers and Samathea rolls her eyes. "I almost killed you, Caroline, I nearly killed your mom and if you think that we're still friends after that, then you're just stupid to think that," she states as she then looks back at the bottle. "Don't know what you're holding out this long for me." she grumbles, then Caroline snatches the bottle and Samathea looks at her, "I am not going to give up on you," she tells her and Samathea tilts her head a little. "This clinging thing that you're doing right now, have you ever wondered why Matt dumped you and Tyler skip town?" she asks her. Caroline just tilts her head at her, "I mean, I get that Tyler is running from Klaus right this moment, but is that the real reason why?" she asks as she crosses her legs, "Maybe he left because he couldn't stand you." she whispers. Caroline just leans back, "And I don't get why you still want to be with Stefan, seeing that he has no interest in you whatsoever." she states and Caroline rolls her eyes.

Samathea just smirks. "Hey, hey, hey now. I'm not judging, may the next bad boy that comes to town will ruffles your feathers the right way," she said with a smirk. Caroline just sighs, "You're in pain and you're lashing out. I get it, but you can't stay this way forever, we're about to graduate and start new lives and you just deserve-" Caroline states and Samathea just laughs at her, making her stop, "Do you seriously think I give a damn about some graduation? Caroline, do you even realize how pathetic you're going to look in that cap and gown? Acting like you're still the same old Caroline Forbes, the innocent and perfect little girl? Mommy forces a smile as she just watches you walk up onto that stage. And when you finally leave this town, she can finally be at peace knowing that her real daughter is long dead because you're just a reminder of the girl she once was and you. You're nothing but a blood sucking, impulsive, control freak vampire." Samathea said with a smile. Caroline shook her head as she stood up and turn away from her. "It's sad though, Stefan stopped me, a few more seconds and I could have killed you, putting you out of your pathetic misery. Oh well," she states then looks up at her. "And lesson number one; never turn your back on the enemy," she states then vamps right at her, Caroline turns around and holds her back. "Sam stop!" Caroline orders, her.

But she just hisses and snarls at her, then Caroline grips her neck and snaps it, Samathea stops and collapsed against the ground. Caroline just pants as Stefan walks back into the room and looks at her. "Do whatever you have to do." she states and turns to him, "I'm going to be upstairs," she tells him and walks out of the room, Stefan just sighs and hung his head.

At the Grill, Rebekah was sitting at the bar, getting as drunk as possible. Matt walks out of the back and notices her, then sighs as he walks up to the bar. She then looks at him, "I was wondering when you were going to say hello or keep ignoring me." she states as he was standing in front of her. "I was working," he answers and looks at the shot glasses. "I see you compelled the bartenders again," he states and she just smirks. "I'm celebrating." she answers and he tilts his head at her, "My brothers and I parted companies, Elijah, Nik and Eric have run off to New Orleans, chasing God knows what. And I am finally free." she states and he nods at her, "Yeah. I heard about that." he mutters. "Did you hear that I lost the cure to Silas and Solon? I was this close to the life I always wanted and then puff, gone in a heartbeat," she tells him with her fingers inches apart.

Matt nods at her, "I'm sorry. I know how much you wanted it." he tells her, she scoffs at him, "Please, I know you were planning on stealing it for Samathea. I never had a chance, did I?" she questions him and he shook his head. "I meant what I said. But if you want to feel sorry for yourself, then go ahead." he tells her and walks past her, "Why don't you stay and have a drink?" she asks, jumping out of her seat and he turns to her, "I can't I got to go meet Caroline." he informs her. "Are they still keeping Samathea trapped in the Salvatore manor?" she asks and Matt said nothing, "I happen to like her just the way she is. It's tragic that they're trying so desperately to fix something that's not broken." she taunts and Matt stiffens and walks back to her. "Samathea was my friend long before she was your mean girl side-kick," he growls at her and she notices she hit a nerve. "So if you're so upset that you lost the cure and your brothers and Eric ditched you then why are you still in Mystic Falls?" he asks and she said nothing. "Some of us just don't have the option of leaving, some of us are just broke and failing all of our classes and just stuck here?" he informs her and she looks at him, "So why don't you take your freedom and get the hell out of town. I would." he informs her and walks away.

~8~8~8~

Caroline was standing outside of the house as she was on the phone with her witch friend. "Bonnie, where have you been? I left you like ninety million messages." Caroline informs her. "Studying French, we still have final exams remember?" Bonnie informs her. Caroline rolls her eyes "Ugh, don't remind me. Look, this whole thing with Samathea, it's about to get brutal and I know that she's not your favorite person right now, but I could really use you right now." she informs her. "For what? Moral support or so you can check up on me?" Bonnie asks her, "Moral support. And maybe just a tiny check in so that Silas isn't playing anymore patsy little mind games with you." she answers her. "I'm fine. Silas doesn't control me anymore and I'll think I'll pass on the invite, Samathea tried to kill me and I'm not ready to forgive and forget." Bonnie informs her and Caroline sigh, "I'm going to call you later, okay. I gotta go." Bonnie informs her and hung up.

A woman walks into the restaurant and sat at Bonnie's table and the woman was none other than Katharine as she took the menu. "Lying, scheming and a secret rendezvous with Ma? Not very Bonnie Bennett, especially when Samathea needs her favorite witch," she states and looks at the menu. "This has nothing to do with them. This is between you and me." Bonnie informs her and Katharine sets the menu down. "Yeah, well. Luckily for you, I got some spare time on my hands. You said that you have an offer that I can't refuse. What did you have and mind?"

~8~8~8~

A fire extinguisher was set on the ground, jolting Samathea awake. "Good. You're awake. We thought you could use a little sunshine." Damon informs her as Stefan was sitting next to the curtains. Samathea looks down and saw herself tied to a chair then down at her hand and saw that her daylight ring was missing. "Looking for this?" Damon asks as she shows her daylight ring to her. Her eyes went right to it, "But you know the rules, bad girls don't get nice jewelry." he states and pulls her ring away. "So you took my ring. I'm so scared," she said, rolling her eyes. "And I'm bored, can I go back to isolation now?" she asks, "No, I kinda like up in the hot seat." Damon jokes and she looks up at him. "Haha you're hilarious." she groans and Damon looks at Stefan, "Whenever you're ready brother." Damon tells him and Stefan moves back to the curtains as Samathea looks over at him, "Ooh, I'm so terrified of a little sunlight." she croaks and Stefan looks at her, "You will be and when you are, focus on that fear. It's the key to getting your humanity back." Stefan informs her. She just scoffs at him, "You won't burn me." she laughs. "You don't think so?" Damon questions her and turns her head to him, "I know so and besides, even if my switch gets turned back on, I'm going to remember every horrible thing you've done to me and I'll hate you both for it." she tells him, then Damon looks at Stefan and shrugs, "Worth the risk." he states, then Stefan pulls back the curtain as Samathea looks at him then the light touches her hand.

Samathea stiffens in her chair as the sunlight was burning her skin, she bites her lips, keeping her screams inside, but sat up straight, but her arm catches fire and she reels her head back and was screaming. She struggles in her restraints as she was trying to break free, kicking her legs, moving the chair back in both, but then Damon took the fire extinguisher and put the fire out and Stefan closes the curtain, Samathea was panting as the pain was gone and her skin was healing, then Damon sets the fire extinguisher down. "So, I bet that feels better huh?" he asks her, as she just growls, clutching her fists, "How about a little graduate? Or any human emotion whatsoever and we can stop this." Damon asks her as she sat up and Stefan walks to them. Then Samathea mutters something under her breath and Damon leans down at her level. "I didn't quite catch that." he states as she pants, "I said, I'm going to rip your tongue from your mouth and feed it to the rats." she growls at him, "Bingo. See? There's a little rage, I figured that should have been the first emotion that came out of her." he states as Stefan kneels down next to her, "I attend to pull that out of people." he states with a smirk. "Samathea, look at me." Stefan states and she rolls her head to him. "We don't want to do this okay? You can stop this now, it's your choice," he tells her.

She just laughs. "Really funny, Choice. Like how you choose to be the one to pull back the curtains and I bet that deep down." she states leans in close to him, "You're enjoying seeing me squirm like worm and scream bloody mary." she whispers as Damon just paced. "Since, you know, I caused Elena and you to break up and all," she states and Damon kneels down next to his brother. "Wow! Now that was downright conductive, see? Now I think we're breaking through that tough candy shell and getting into the Oohie gooey rich center of your humanity." he states with a smirk and Samathea looks right at him. "I think we should shine some light on the subject," he states and the Salvatore then stood right back up and Stefan walks back to the curtain. "Don't tell me, this is going to hurt you more than it's going to hurt me?" she asks him. Stefan just sighs. "Look, I know what you're going through, after all, you've done. To face all the guilt you'll feel if you turn your emotions back on. The only way we can help you is to make the alternative hurt even worse." he tells her and she scoffs. Then he pulls back the curtains and Samathea screams in pain as her face was now burning.

~8~8~8~

Caroline paces outside as she was hearing Samathea screams. "We have to keep talking, if we don't keep talking them I can't stop myself from listening in and I can't stand to hear Samathea in pain." Caroline states and they both sat down. "Well, what do you want to talk about?" Matt asks her, "I don't know anything." she answers and Matt just sighs. "I ordered you a cap and gown," she informs him and he looks at her in surprise. "You did?" he asks her, "I just figured that you forget. I ordered yours when I ordered mine. And I got one for Samathea too." Caroline states and he smiles at her a little.

Then she looks up at him with a nervous look on her face, "It's going to work." he assures her then took a seat next to her, "We're going to get Samathea back." he promises her. She just smiles and Matt looks over and saw that Rebekah was walking into the house. Then Caroline stood up and looks at her, Rebekah just smiles at her and walks to the table and Caroline turns to Matt, "What the hell is she doing here?"

~8~8~8~

Rebekah sets the food down onto the table and pulls it out as Caroline and Matt walk into the room. She then turns to them. "Hi, I don't mean to interfere, it's that I happen to know that all they keep in this house is blood and booze, So I bought a peace offering," she states and offers them the food. "Burgers?" she asks and Matt smiles and walks up to her. "Thanks," he said and took the food, making her smile. "Sorry, we can't entertain right now, but thanks for stopping by." Caroline states and she points at the door. "I think I might stay." Rebekah states and Caroline looks right back at her. "Matt mentioned that he was failing classes and needed a study buddy," he states and Matt just sighs.

Caroline then looks back at him, "You're failing?" she questions him. Then she walks up to him as he shook his head. "Well, why didn't you ask me to help you study?" she asks and he looks at her, "Well, I didn't exactly ask her," he states as he looks at Rebekah. "Well, what classes are you failing?" Caroline asks again, "I'm not failing, I'm just… really, really behind in History and Italian and Math." he rephrases and she looks at him in shock. "Matt." she states and he looks at her, "This year been a little distracting." he defends and Rebekah looks at the both of them, "We can both help. All hands on deck, that's the motto around here, right?" she asks, trying to fit in. "We don't have a motto." Caroline informs her and she looks back at Matt, "Look, if you need to study, we're going to study, I'm gonna go home and get my flashcards and my study guild and my energy bars. This is going to be good." she states, making Matt smile at her.

Then Caroline turns away and ran to the door, she was out the door and Matt turns back to Rebekah with a sigh as she was looking at him in surprise. "You dated that?" she asks him and he shrugs at her, "She looks projects." he defended.

Caroline walks to her car, pulling her keys out of her pocket, but then drops them and she kneels down to pick them up, but then heard something shuffle not far from her. She freezes and looks around, she held her keys in her hands as she slowly stood up and walks to the back of her car, looking out at the woods. "Who's there?" she calls out, getting no response. But then turns around and gasp as the person was now standing in front of her, "Oh my God." she mutters and Serena looks at her and smiles, "Hello Caroline."

~8~8~8~

A waitress walks over to the table and refills Katherine's drink as Bonnie informed her of her plan. "Okay, let me get this straight, you want me to hand over Silas's tombstone? What makes you think I even have it?" she asks her and Bonnie smirks "I know you took it from the Island, you're a scavenger, you'd never leave it behind." Bonnie informs her, "So you're working for Silas now, huh? Running errands for the big bad immortal?" Katherine asks her and Bonnie shook her head. "I didn't which side. In two days, there will be a full moon, Silas wants me to harness its power to drop the veil. Between our side and the other side. He and Solon want to take the cure and they both want to die." she informs her.

Katherine just looks at her, "I'd said I'd help them and I've been hiding from them ever since." Bonnie informs her as she looks out the window. Then inhales and looks back at her, "Buying time." she states and Katherine just looks at her, "Buying time for what?" she asks. "You don't need to worry about it, you just need to bring me the tombstone." Bonnie informs her, "It's a hunk of rock, what do you even want with it?" Katherine asks again and Bonnie leans forward, "The less you know, the better. Silas is psychic and Solon is crafty, more dangerous. They can get into people's heads, read their minds and make them see things that aren't really there." Bonnie warns her and Katherine just sighs. "It took me a big enough risk to even talk to you," Bonnie informs her. "OK then, how do I know you're not him or Solon?" she questions her, "You don't. But I'm not." Bonnie answers and Katherine leans forward again. "And what makes you so sure, I'm not him or her?" she questions again. "Because they can't get into my head anymore. I am the only one that can see Silas's true face and Solon knows better." Bonnie answers her. Then they both lean back in their chairs and were glaring at each other. "What's in it for me?" she questions her. "Bring me the tombstone, help me stops Silas and Solon from unleashing hell on Earth," she states and Katherine tilts her head a little. "Believe me, I'll make it worth your while."

~8~8~8~

Samathea was screaming bloody murder as the sun was burning her, Stefan and Damon looked away as her skin became red. She then arches her back and reels her head back, screaming from the pain that scorched her skin. Then Stefan closes the curtain and the pain stops. Samathea stops as she lays her head back, panting as her skin heals itself right back up. Then she hung her head forward and pants, but saw that her ropes were a little burnt and ready to break off. She smiles to herself and grips the arms of the chair, Stefan then walks back to them, "You're going to thank me for this." Damon states as Stefan stood next to him, "After you turn it back on, you'll realize that life without no emotions blew." Damon states and she laughs, pulling her head back up. "Really? Because I can think of one thing I enjoy about having no emotions: No longer being sired to you." she states with a smile on her face, Damon just rolls his eyes at her, "Every. Signal. Day I believed that I really loved you and that you really loved me." she states.

Damon just nods his head at her, "And every. Signal. Day it was suffocating, having to be at your beckon call, wrapped around your little finger, doing every and anything just to make you happy. It was sickening to me and I am so glad that you make me turn it off because I don't have to listen to your sorry, pathetic, love-sick excuse of a vampire." she states and he looks down at her. "You were right to push me away, none of it was real. None of it ever was. But if you're so determined to torture me, then go ahead." she states and looks at the younger Salvatore, "And if they do come back on, maybe Stefan and I could give it a try." she states, throwing them right off. she breaks free of her restraints, vamps at the curtain, ripping it right off and exposes herself to the sunlight. She gasps and screams as she catches fire and was really burning. Stefan and Damon were surprised and vamp towards her, Damon fires the extinguisher as Stefan shoves her back into the shadows. The fire was out and Samathea coughs as her skins heal the burns on her body, she then props herself back up on her hands and laughs. As she was done healing she looks up at them, "I am the girl that you love and care about, you two aren't capable of hurting me, you just proved it by saving me from burning and for that, I will always have the upper hand on you all." she laughs, but then pants and lays back down. The two brothers exchanged looks, "There is nothing I have to be afraid of." she states and rolls on her back, laughing at them.

~8~8~8~

The Salvatore brothers step out of the house and Damon downs his drink, "Every other vampire turns it right back on, no sweat. You kill you feed, you do all the awful things that a vampire does and then you're done. You turn it back on." Damon snaps as he turns back to Stefan and he just shrugs at him. "Why is she being so Stubborn!?" Damon snaps and throws the bottle at the house and it breaks at the roof. "Because she had nothing to come back to. Her home is gone, her family is gone. She alienated her friends, she destroyed her relationships." Stefan informs him as he walks up to his brother.

But Damon turns to him, "No, she wants to come back, she's dying to feel something. But it scares her to even come back, it scares the hell out of her. But she's smart and cunning, she knew that we were never going to hurt her." Damon states and Stefan nods, "Alright, then we get someone that actually will hurt her." Stefan states and Damon turns to him, "Who?" he asks and Stefan threw up his arms a little and Damon knew exactly who Stefan was referring to. "Katherine?" he asks, thinking that it was a bad idea. "Think about it, she's the reason that Jeremy and Elena are dead, right? So if anyone is going to provoke an emotion, it's her." Stefan states and Damon sighs, "So what, we call her and beg her to help out of the kindness of her own heart, are you kidding me?" Damon questions him. "Katherine was just abandoned by Elijah. She has nothing, she has no one." Stefan states and Damon was catching on, "We invite her into our house to come torture Samathea. There's no way she's going to turn that down." Stefan states and Damon nods at him.

~8~8~8~

Matt was sitting on the couch as he was studying with his homework, then he pulls out a phone. "What time will Caroline get back from the train station?" he asks and his phone translates for him, Rebekah smirks as she sips her drink. "Well, that's handy." she states as she walks to the front of the couch and Matt looks at her "Sort of a cheat though, isn't it?" she asks as he just smirks. "Not everyone has had thousand years to learn everything about everything "Not sure how good I man at modern Italian, I was Fluent in the 12th Century, but Languages have a way of evolving," she states as she took the phone and looks at it.

He smirks and took his phone right back, "So can you help or not?" he asks her, she smiles at him, "Of course I can. Don't be cranky I was teasing." she states and sat down in the chair. "I'm sorry, I just don't want to get left behind when all my friends go to college and I'm the only repeat Senior." he informs her, "The only reason you are failing is because you're preoccupied with doom hunters and dealing with Samathea's drama," she states and he just sighs. "You need better friends. Like me." she states and he looks at her "I could compel you good grades and a scholarship." she offers and Matt just sighs. "I don't want to do that." he tells hers and lays back against the couch, "Why not, Everyone needs an advantage in life. I could be yours." she states, the got out of the chair and sat on the coffee table. He looks at her, "When you confessed me to save April Young's life at the Prom. It made me realize that I can be a better person and I'm grateful for that, so let me give you some advice." Rebekah states and Matt sat up, "Take advantage of what I'm offering you. Make something for yourself and for the record, anyone who leaves you behind is a fool. I wouldn't." she tells him and smiles at him.

But the moment was ruined as the door was open and in steps Katherine with a smirk on her face. "What a beautiful sentiment." she gloats and Rebekah stood on her feet, "Seriously?" Damon questions as he walks into the living room, looking at her, "You can't knock?" he questions she just shrugs at him, "Sorry, I didn't realize that we were standing on formality." she states as Rebekah was just surprised at her appearance. "What the hell are you doing here?" she questions her. "You didn't get the memo, I'm here to talk some sense into poor emotionless Samathea," she answers and Matt shot to his feet. "Are you out of your mind?!" Matt shouts at him, Damon looks at him, "You got a better idea, prom king? Unless you want me to lock you up in there with her. I suggest you shut up and let the adults handle this." Damon tells him as Katherine just smirks and walks to the cellar.

Matt just glares as Damon leaves the room, "Well, I guess the psychos are taking over the asylum." Rebekah states as Matt grabs his coat and marches to the door, "Where are you going?" Rebekah asks him, "I'm calling Caroline. There's no way we're letting that PSYCHO in with Samathea." he answers and was out the door. He pulls his phone out and walks to his truck, his phone rings and he waited, but then he heard whimpers, followed with a sniffle and a weak cry. He looks around, lowing his phone. "Hello?" he calls out "Matt." a female's voice whimpers and he looks around again, then he heard a whoosh behind him and turns and gasp finding Samathea with her long hair, standing behind him, her eyes were red and puffy as tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Sam?" he asks and she looks at him. "Sammy, how are you… what happened to… what's going on?" Matt asks her, she then looks at the woods and walks to them.

He watches her, then she stops and looks back at him, "You want me to follow?" he asks her, she nods and waves her arm, telling him to follow, he then looks around at the place, seeing no one in sight, then followed her into the woods.

~8~8~8~

The walk for half an hour and then stopped at a tree, he looks up at it and was confused, "Why did you bring me here?" he asks her, she looks at him for a moment then looks down at the stone pile, he looks down at it, they both knee down and Matt looks at her, "What is this?" he asks her, she looks at him for a moment and then looks back at the stone, jesting him to removes the rocks, he looks back at the rocks and then removes rocks and reaches inside, pulling out the green journal, "What is this?" Matt asks her and then he opens to the first page and gasps.

It was Elena's journal and the memorial notice for both her and Jeremy. He then looks back at Samathea, "You brought me here to this, why?" he asks her, she sniffles and gently grips his wrist and he gasps, feeling everything that surged through him. Pain, grief, sorrow, joy, anger, hate, jealousy, relief. He pants as she removes her hand and he looks back at her. "You… you're…" he pants, she nods at him with a small smile. Then he closes the journal and stood up, "I… I… I got to get back to the others." he states and took off running, Samathea smiles a little as she stood up, watching him leave then faded away.

~8~8~8~

Katherine pulls open the door of the safe and looks down inside, "Oh honey, you look awful." she states then grips Samathea's arm tightly and rips her out of the safe and throws her to the ground. Samathea grunts as she lands on the ground then slowly lift herself up. Looking up at Katherine and then sat on her legs as her arms hung limply at her sides, "And what the living hell are you doing here?" she questions her, Katherine just smirks. "Your boyfriends invited me." he states as she kneels down, Samathea smirks, "They want to know if you still have a heart," she growls and then grips her throat and slams her at the safe.

Samathea gasp as Katherine shoves her hand into Samathea's chest. "There it is. But your bodyguards won't let me kill you, but I can rip your throat out so I don't have to listen to you whine," she growls as Samathea gags, then Katherine lets go and she collapsed back onto her feet, Katherine flexes her blood covered hand and exhales. "But first, to satisfy my curiously." she states, walking over and took the hand towel, "What did you say to Elijah back in Willoughby?" she asks and cleans off her hand, Samathea pants then smirks to herself. "That's why you're here? Because Elijah dumped poor little Katherine," she mutters, Katherine as she threw the towel down. "Tell me what you said or I will feed you your own eyeball," Katherine said to her, Samathea just chuckles. "I just spoke the truth, I mean look at you. So self-obsessed psychopathic, you've run for 5 centuries and what good could Elijah want with you?" she asks as Katherine step back a little looking at her, "You are the perfect definition of damaged goods, it's no wonder Elijah left you." she mutters with a smile on her face, Katherine nods a little, "Yeah, I've done some pretty horrible things to survive. But unlike you, poor sweet, fragile Samathea." she growls gripping Samathea's throat. "I don't turn it off, I deal with it," she growls at her.

Samathea just gags then chuckles to herself, "You wouldn't last a week as a vampire without every fawning over you." she growls, "And what of your sister?" she questions, making Katherine freeze. "Were you strong for her when your parents were murdered? Were you there for her when she turned it all off?" she questions her, "Shut up." Katherine growls. "I bet she enjoyed being emotionless, until she turned it back on because she had a loving sister to come back to." she chuckles, "I will rip your tongue out if you keep it up." Katherine threatens her, "I bet you enjoyed killing her, she was dragging you down and you didn't want to deal with it anymore. No wonder killing my siblings came so easily to you." she chuckles and just laughs. Katherine growls and throws her back into the safe and slams the door, locking it, she pants and then a thought struck her, making Katherine smirk. "But I would really love to see you try to last on your own," she states then unlocks the door and walks out of the room.

Katherine stood in the living room and downs her drink, "Well, that pain and torture work up quite a thrust." she states and refills her cup, Damon smirks to himself. "Could it have anything to do with the fact that Samathea called you out on your recent boy troubles, is it?" Damon asks her and she looks at him, "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear." he said to her, "Do you think that Samathea would be better off if she never meet you?" she asks as she steps closer to her, "Are you trying to get a rise out of me cause my emotions are fine. I love Samathea, I despise you." Damon tells her, "Aw, so romantic." she giggles, "But so doomed to fail." she said and sat down next to Damon. "You know, as soon as she goes back to same old Samathea, she'll go right back to the sidelines and that's the tragicity of you, you never get the girl," she tells him, petting his hair.

Then Stefan burst into the room, "She's gone." he states and the two looked back at him, "What?" Damon asks as he stood on his feet, "Samathea's not in her cell. I'm gonna check the grounds, find out what she did." Stefan orders and he walks out of the room. "Oops, did I forget to lock her in?"Katherine asks and she looks back at Damon as he looks at her in shock. "Let's just say I lost all interest in Samthea's recovery." she states and Damon glares as she stood up, "I'd rather watch her tear through an Orphanage, Imagine coming back from a spiral like that." Katherine said with a smirk and Matt marches into the room, "Samathea's gone?!" he questions as Rebekah was following him, "What happened?" he asks, "She let Samathea out, that's what happened." Damon answers and Matt face-palms. Then Damon looks down at the journal in Matt's hand, "What is that?" he asks him and Matt looks down at it, "Samathea hid this and it's Elena's journal." Matt informs him and it finally hits Damon. "You're coming with me, Donovan," Damon mutters as he took the journal.

Rebekah looks at him, "Why should he?" she questions him, "Because Samathea is hungry and force once in his life, he might have a purpose." Damon answers him, "And so does this little book." he states and both him and Matt left the house.

~8~8~8~

Samathea stumbles through the woods, panting, then leans against a tree, trying to compose herself, but then she heard whimpering, she froze and looks over and saw little Samathea Gilbert, crying as she was huddled against a tree, crying as she was lost in the woods, in the middle of the night. She remembers that night, she was running from some bullies as she was on her way from school, but got lost in the woods as she was trying to hide. But the hours passed and it was night, making it hard for her to find her way out. So she sat against a tree and cried to herself, but then lights shined on her and her dad found her, she remembered the feeling when her dad found her, happy, joy, relief. Safe. A tear slides down her cheek as she misses the days when she was human, but knew that there was no going back. She inhales, wiping the tear away. As she shoves herself off the tree and staggers through the woods.

But then she stops as she saw lights shining in front of her from behind, she then turns and saw a truck. She waves her arms, getting his attention, but collapsed onto her knees and pants as the person pulls his truck in front of her. Then she blocks the light from her eyes. "Help, please. I need help," she begs, then the man kneels down in front of her and she looks at him, it was none other than Matt. She smiles and looks at him, "Matt. It's really you, I'm so happy you're here." she states as her eyes pulsed and she was ready to pounce, but Matt shot back as she jerked forward. "Wait, Sammy! I know you don't want to do this. I know you don't want to hurt me." he tells her, holding his arms out. He chuckles as she stood up, "Really Matt. The old Sammy is dead, I'm the better half of her and if there is one thing that I want, I will take it. And I want to feed." she growls at him, stepping closer. "I am your oldest friend Sammy," he states and she stops.

She stops and looks at him, "You're my oldest friend and the girl I cared about since I meet you." he tells her, she looks at him as the red was leaving her eyes, "And whatever all you want to put you, I know you're doing so to protect yourself from all the pain and agony." he tells her, she sniffles and stops closer to him, "Deep down, I probably do want to protect myself." she states as she cups his cheek, "But I'm hungry." she growls and snaps her teeth right onto his neck.

~8~8~8~

Matt laid on the ground as he was still unconscious, Samathea looks down at him, then kneels down and roughly pokes at him, "Wake up." she orders him, he flutters his eyes open and looks at her. "Come on get up, I still want more, I can't think straight, I can't plan my moves or anyone else's." she tells him, but he just gasps and groans "Stop please," he begs her. She smiles and leans over him, "But I don't want to, you taste so good." she tells him, then grips his jacket, forcing him back onto his feet, she was ready to bite again, but then was forced against a tree by Stefan, "Hey, hey. Knock it off." he orders her, holding her back as Matt slums against the truck, "Let me go." she snaps, growling at him, "Stop it!" Stefan shouts at her "Enough." Damon orders her. They both looked at him as he forces Matt to his feet. "You are acting like a real spoiled brat, you know that?" he asks her.

She rolls her eyes at him. "You think that we can punish you, maybe not. But I sure can punish him." Damon states as he points at Matt. "And maybe, at something sweet to the pot." he states and pulls out Elena's journal. "Sam…" Matt croaks, Samathea rolls her eyes, "Really, you think I-" she states, "Shut up." Damon orders her. "I'm done playing nice. Turn your emotion back on or so help me God, I will give you something to be sad about; I will kill him right here in front of you and rip the last connection to Little Jer and Elena you have left." Damon promises her, but Samathea just rolls her eyes as Stefan was holding her back. "Damon." Stefan states, "Don't Damon me." Damon snaps as she forces Matt on his knees. "She doesn't love anyone, fine. Prove it and if I'm wrong, what difference does it make. Once less busboy." he states, "Sam…" Matt mutters. She looks at him, then back at Damon. "I don't believe you, I'm calling your bluff," she answers, Damon nods then snaps Elena's book in half. Samathea gasp as her heart broke, then Damon grips Matt's neck and snaps it and Samathea's heart shattered.

Matt collapsed on the ground, Samathea shoves Stefan away, collapsed onto her knees and gathers Matt quickly in her arms, "No, no, no, no. Matty…" she whimpers as tears formed in her eyes. The Salvatore looked at her as she was devastated. Then she looks at Elena's journal as it was in shreds. "How about now, you feel anything now?" Damon questions her, she glares at him, "Are you angry that I turned your buddy into roadkill? Angry that I rip the memo of Elena to shreds?" he questions her as she glares at him, "Or are you sad, that the guy that everybody loves is just a bag of bones? Sad that the Journal that you gave Elena, the connection that you had left of her is forever gone?" he asks her again. She pants as the tears streamed down her face. "Remember when you two were kids? Huh, big heart, goofy smile, when he became your first love? His entire life ahead of him?" he asks her, she covers her mouth in horror as she didn't want Matt to be dead. Then Damon kneels down next to her. "I guess it was a good idea he was wearing this," he states, holding Matt's hand and revealed the Gilbert Ring. "And that he had this," he states and pulls out the journal from inside his jacket. Samathea gasp as she looks over at the other one and saw that it was just a fake.

She pants and looks back at the ring, "Matty…" she mutters gripping his hand with the ring on it, she laid it against his chest and gently brushes his cheek, crying tears of joy, "Do you feel that weight lifting off your shoulders?" he asks her and she looks at him. "That's joy because your friend isn't dead," he tells her as she exhales heavily. "That's emotion Samathea. That's humanity," he tells her, she closes her eyes for a moment trying to breathe, but then sat still for a moment then opens her eyes, feeling everything. Hate, anger, love, sorrow, joy, relief and pain. She was all back, her eyes shined with light as everything, was turned back on.

She then started to whimper as she removes Matt's head from her lap and gently laid it back on the ground, she looks at her hand and wipes away the invisible blood from them. Damon then crawls and kneels in front of her, "You're going to be okay." he tells her, but she shook her head, "Look at me." he said again. "No, no, no. it won't be okay." she whimpers, pulling herself to her feet, "Sam." Damon states as he pulls himself up as well and the two-step to her as she was stepping away from them and racks her hands through her hair. "Oh God, Liz, Caroline an-and Bonnie. All the horrible things I've done. What have I done?" she questions as she was overcome with emotions. "And and Matt… I almost… I nearly… Oh God." she mutters, Damon went to hug her, but she shoves him away. "No, Don't! I'm dangerous. I mean, I killed the poor innocent woman at the diner, I hurt Elijah, I hurt April." she went on, then slams her fist against the window. "I'm a monster!" she cries and broke the glass. Then Damon vamps at her, holding her back and turns her away, then Stefan grips her wrists. "I'm so sorry." she whimpers as she was crying, "Hey, hey. I know this stage, your emotions are overwhelming you, you just have to focus on one thing." he tells her as Damon moves away.

But Samathea shook her head, "I can't… everything hurts… it hurts too much." she whimpers "Just find that one thing inside of you that makes you strong, Sammy. You have always been strong." he tells her, she whimpers and closes her eyes, breathing. "It's in there, inside of you, channel everything that you're feeling and latch onto it, into one emotion," he tells her, her breathing closed down. "Find the thing inside of you that makes want to live, Sammy. Let it in, let it in," he tells her as they both let her go. Her breathing was now clam, "That's it, just breathe it in, let everything else out." he tells her, then she opens her eyes, tears streaming down her face and she cries out as she back away from them and pants. Then Damon places his hand on her shoulder, "You okay?" he asks her, she removes her hands from her hair and looks at him, "I'm I okay?" she asks him, "No, I'm not okay, I'll never be okay after what I've done." she answers him as tears well up in Stefan's eyes, "But I'm breathing, I'll get by, somehow." she answers again and walks away from them.

Solon pace in the cellar of the old Lockwood slave quarter, "You're pacing again." Silas tells her, she looks at him and shrugs. "I'm anxious. I really want that stupid other side torn down. I want to go to the afterlife where my sister is waiting for us." she tells him, Silas chuckles to him, "I understand how you feel, I wish nothing more than to be with you and your sister, the love of my life." he states, she smiles and sat down next to him. "None of this would be happening if I didn't suggest you toy with Kesta's feelings for you," she states, in shame of herself.

Silas wraps his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him, "My dear sweet, loving Solon. You wanted the best for the three of us, we all wanted to stay together forever, I do not regret your decision." he states, she exhales and snuggles into his shoulder. "I just want us three to be together again." she states and Silas leans his head against hers, "I know, I do too."

~8~8~8~

Matt laid on the couch then gasped awake, gripping the spot on his neck where Samathea had bitten him. Rebekah looks at him in surprise. He slowly sat back up, groaning and moaning in pain as he pants, "I've never seen that ring in action before, does it hurt?" she asks him, he looks at her and sighs. "You mean, getting my next snapped or coming back from the dead cause… they both hurt like hell," he answers her and she nods at him. "Did it work?" he asks her and she stood up with a drink in her hand "Well, it looks like Samathea's emotion floodgates have been burst wide open, so she'll be back to her dull symptomatic self in no time," she answers and sat down in front of him as Matt exhales with relief.

Then she offers him the drink, "Here." she said and he took it from her. "That was a brave thing to do," she tells him and he looks at her. "She saved me drowning at the bottom of that river." he informs her, she looks away, knowing how that happened, "I just did what I can to pay her back," he states and she sighs. "There aren't enough apologies in the word for the part I played in it, running you off the bridge, Samathea becoming a vampire to save you." she states and he looks away from her, "If you don't want me to cheat you into college then fine, we'll do it the hard way, but Matt." she said and he looks at her, "I will spend every day until graduation trying to pay you back." he nods at her and makes her smile a little.

~8~8~8~

Katherine sighs as she walks over and sat down at the booth with Bonnie, "I'm perfectly aware that, that tombstone isn't just a hunk of rock." she states, "No kidding." Bonnie said as she wasn't in a joking mood. "And it got me thinking, all these spells require a source of power, a recurring element, like a full moon, a comet. But that tombstone is filled with the blood of your ancient relative, Kusa or whatever." Katherine states, "Kesta." Bonnie corrected her, "Whatever, but she was powerful enough to create the other side, so maybe, if you have her blood, you don't need a full moon to drop the veil, maybe you can do it whenever you want." Katherine informs her, getting Bonnie's interest

Then Katherine leans against the table, "The thing I can't figure out is, why do you want to drop the veil at all." she asks her and Bonnie shrugs. "I have my reasons." she answers her, "And again, I ask, what's in it for me?" Katherine asks her again, "You'll get the one thing you want most in this world. Freedom." Bonnie answers, getting Katherine's attention. "Survival. Never having to run from anyone ever again. Once I drop the veil, I can speak to Kesta. She created the spell that made Silas truly immortal, invincible to any weapon." she states as Katherine's interest was shooting through the roof and Bonnie leaned forward against the table. "You'd like that for yourself, wouldn't you?" Bonnie asks her, as Katharine leans back and crosses her arms. "I can give that to you," she promises her. Katherine just smirks. "Bonnie Bennett we have a deal."

Samathea sat on the couch, her head buried in her arms with her legs pulled to her chest. "Hey, hey. Here." Damon whispers, Samathea lifts her head and lets him lay the blanket on her, "Thank you." she mutters and curls her arms to her chest, gripping the blanket a little. "How are you feeling?" he asks her as Stefan pours the drink, "I feel horrible for everything I've done, the shame of what I've done, I still feel the pain in my chest, but it's dull, making it hurt even more," she answers him in a whisper. He nods as he sat down, "But I understand it now. Flipping my switch, I was cheating, I put up this wall to block put all the pain, the grief and denial and everything make you who you are. But with the emotions off, nothing affected me, nothing mattered to me. But now everything does matter, everything has meaning." she states, getting louder.

Damon nods at her, "When you do something so terrible and you keep wishing you can take it all back, but you can't. But right now, I can make amends for what I've done." she states and Damon looks over at Stefan, confused on what she was saying. "Sam, what you need to do, is rest." Stefan tells her was he walks over and sat down next to Damon, "Take it easy for a couple of days or a couple of years." he states and handed her the drink. "Here." he states and she shook her head. "I… I can't rest. I've rested enough. I have to fix everything, I have to." Samathea states as she removes the blanket and went to stand, "Whoa, hey." Damon said as he stops her. "What are you talking about?" he asks her, she looks at them, "It's so obvious, Damon. Go back a few years, it all leads to one person that brought us to this moment." she states and they looked at her, "That person ruined us, stole away they things we cherish, I mean look at you, everything that has happened to you for the past 100 years, she did this to you. She brought the Originals to Mystic Falls, she turned Caroline into a vampire, she killed my family." she states with anger in her eyes.

The two looked at her, seeing that she was very angry, "It all leads back to this person, this one person that ruined everything; Katherine." she states and Damon looks at Stefan, a little worried. "You said it yourself, Stefan. I needed to focus on one thing and I did. I focus on my rage and I despise her so much." she growls and Damon looks at her, "Well, I don't think that's what he meant." Damon tells her, "Sam, Katherine isn't worth your time, even if you spend ten minutes of your life hating her, she still wins." Stefan informs her, then Samathea looks at them as her eyes turn crimson. "Not if I kill her first," Samathea said to them. The Salvatores exchanged looks as Samathea only has one goal in her undead Life;

Kill Katherine Pierce.
