Elena stood in her bedroom with Bonnie. She held the moonstone in her hand examining it in detail.
"Now that you've got this back, what are you going to do with it?" Elena asked.
"Right now it's what is binding the sun and the moon curse. If I can figure out a way to remove the spell from the stone, the stone becomes useless" Bonnie explained.
"And according to Katherine, Klaus becomes vengeful "Elena replied.
"Maybe if he finds out" Bonnie said. "I just wish Dia was here. I'm pretty sure I could remove the spell faster if she was here. Has anyone heard from her?"
"No, but apparently Elijah knows where she is, but Bonnie can't this wait? Stefan is stuck in the tomb with Katherine. We've got to get him out" Elena looked at her.
"Stefan wants me to focus on this" Bonnie said.
"Don't listen to him. He thinks that he's protecting me but he's wrong" Elena huffed.
"I'm taking Stefan's side with this one. We're not going to let you and Dia get used in some creepy sacrifice ritual" Bonnie told her.
Jeremy walked in as she finished. Bonnie grabbed the stone from Elena's hand.
"What are you guys arguing about?" he asked.
"We're not arguing about anything" Bonnie protested. She put the moonstone in her bag and looked at Jeremy.
"I need coffee." She got up and left Elena's room.
Jeremy looked at Elena and frowned.
"What?" she asked.
"Why are you on some suicide mission?" he asked her.
"I'm trying to prevent everyone else from getting hurt" Elena snapped.
"How's bringing Klaus the moonstone so you can get yourself killed is okay?" Jeremy shook his head and left her room.
Elena went over to Bonnie's bag. She pulled out the moonstone and grabbed her car keys. She went downstairs when Bonnie walked into the hall.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To see Stefan" Elena replied.
"You're lying" Bonnie stared at her.
"No I'm not" Elena protested.
"Really? I can tell by your face" Bonnie said.
"Are you serious?" Elena huffed.
"She took the moonstone" Jeremy said bringing Bonnie's bag down the stairs.
"How did you..?" Elena began.
"We tested you and you failed" Bonnie said.
"Klaus killed Katherine's entire family just because she crossed him. I can't let that happen" Elena said.
Bonnie moved aside so Elena could leave. She walked to the door and tried to go through. Something was holding her back. Elena turned around and looked at them.
"What did you do?" Elena demanded.
Bonnie looked over at Jeremy who had a smug look on his face.
"You trapped her in the house?" Stefan said in disbelief. Damon came to the tomb to inform him on what was going on with Elena.
"It's for the best. Trust me. Elena is on a martyr that rivals your greatest hits. You should be glad the witch and I are getting along. I brought you this" Damon handed him a bag. "Care package: candles, lanterns and lunch." Damon showed him a bottle of blood.
"Give that to me and I'm just going to have to share with her" Stefan said.
Damon looked at Katherine. "Yeah…."
"You two are surprisingly calm considering Klaus will haunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan" Katherine said.
"I've been dead before. I got over it" Damon looked at Stefan. "Once we deal with this moonstone, we'll figure a way to get you out."
"Don't worry about me. Just make sure Elena's safe" Stefan told him. "Have you heard from Dia?"
"Oh yes Damon have you heard from your little girlfriend?" Katherine smirked. "I bet your keeping yourself busy though. Although if I were you I might want to make sure she's okay."
"What are you lying about now?" Damon rolled his eyes.
"Oh you don't know?" Katherine smiled. "Did you ever wonder why Dia got kidnapped with Elena?"
"I'm listening" Damon said.
"It's because she looked like someone" Katherine told them.
"Yeah like Lydia" Damon rolled his eyes.
"Wrong" Katherine smirked. "Why do you think I never killed Lydia in 1864?"
"Who does she look like?" Damon demanded.
"Marina Vladiou" Katherine smirked. "When Dia gets back, tell her to stop by. She's due for another visit."
"Dia you are such a rockstar" Luchi told her. Dia had finally given in to Luchi's nagging and got her nose ring back.
"I look ridiculous" Dia groaned.
"No you don't" Luchi said. "You needed a change, bit of an edge. I don't understand why you even took it out in the first place."
"For the exact reason you made me get it again" Dia rolled her eyes. "Don't you have cheerleading practice or something?"
"Yes, but I've skipped it so I can spend time with my BFF" Luchi smiled. "So how much longer are you planning on staying?"
"Already want to get rid of me" Dia smirked.
"Of course not" Luchi told her. "Dia, you're happy to be here, but you miss Damon I can tell. You miss that little town in Virginia."
"Look I'll admit I miss it. Am I ready to go back and face all the crap I left behind? No" Dia replied.
"Alright" Luchi gave in. "Just can you please at least call Damon and tell him you're okay. I'm getting sick of hearing your phone ring at all hours of the night."
"Will you take a maybe?" Dia asked.
"Fine" Luchi huffed. "C'mon I'm starving."
Dia and Luchi walked into her apartment. When Luchi opened the door she saw a woman standing in front of her mother who was sitting on the couch terrified.
"Mama?" Luchi frowned.
"Luchiana, Dia run, leave!" Adela said quickly.
"Who are you?" Luchi asked the woman. The woman turned around. Dia stared at her in shock.
"Hello Lydia"
"Isobel?"
Damon walked into Elena's house. He pulled out his phone to see if Dia had called him. Still nothing. He walked into the living room where he found Elena sulking on the couch.
"You should really lock your door" Damon smirked. Elena responded to him by glaring at him.
"Oh, come on pouty. Just give me two points for ingenuity" Damon responded.
"Do you think this is funny?" Elena snapped.
"Yes Elena. I find hilarity in the links that I have to go to repeatedly save your life" Damon rolled his eyes.
"What does Stefan say about this?" Elena asked.
"Pretty good laugh" Damon smirked.
"And what did he say about Elijah still being alive?" Elena asked.
Damon sat down beside her. "Yeah, that… I didn't tell him."
"Why not?" Elena frowned.
"Well a) he can't do anything about it and b)… what I just said" Damon smiled. "Tell me something did Dia ever mention anything to you about a Marina Vladiou?"
"Vladiou? Wasn't that the gypsy family she might have been descended from?" Elena replied.
"Yeah I'm beginning to think she might has turned into she might" Damon said.
"Why?" Elena frowned.
"Katherine said something" he told her. "Doesn't matter."
"Have you heard from her?" Elena asked looking at him.
"No" Damon rolled his eyes. "Why does everyone keep asking me that?"
"Cause we're as much worried about her as you are" Elena replied. "Do you have any idea where she might be?"
"Well I thought about New York, but then I realized Dia's too smart for that. She knew if she disappeared New York would be the first place I would look." Damon explained. "I'm just going to let her come back when she wants to."
"And continue to call her five times an hour till she picks up?" Elena raised her eyebrows.
"That's the plan" Damon smirked.
Jeremy walked into the room. Damon looked over at him.
"Where is Bonnie?" he asked.
"I thought she was meeting you" Jeremy frowned.
"No, she's on moonstone duty and I'm on Elena patrol" Damon smirked.
"And who's on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon?" Jeremy asked.
"Vampire Barbie asked me if she can handle this and why not? Because if she screwed up he'll bite her and then I'll be rid of two of my problems" Damon smiled.
"Hold on a second. Tonight is a full moon?" Elena asked.
Damon's phone began to ring. "Yeah but you were too absorb with all your suicidal tendencies to notice." Damon got up and looked at his phone hoping it was Dia. He was disappointed to see it was Alaric.
"What?" he huffed.
"Sheriff Forbes has officially declared Mason Lockwood a missing person" Alaric replied.
"What? Why?" Damon frowned.
"Some girl from Florida showed up on the Lockwood's door step looking for Mason" Alaric explained.
"What girl?" Damon asked.
"I don't know but she sure got everyone and it's easy" Alaric said.
"It's not good. Where are you?" Damon asked.
"I'm at the grill" Alaric told him.
"I'm on my way" Damon hung up his phone.
"Change of plan, you babysit" he told Jeremy who had made himself comfortable lying on Elena. He turned to leave but stopped and turned around.
"Hey you know, you should get out, enjoy the sun. Oh wait, you can't" he smirked. Elena groaned and threw a cushion at him. Jeremy began to laugh and Elena threw him off of her causing him to roll off the couch and onto the floor.
Isobel stood in Luchi's apartment and smirked at Dia.
"It's good to see you again Dia" Isobel told her.
"Like hell it is" Dia snapped. "Last time I saw you, you decided to snack on me."
"Snack on you?" Luchi gasped. "¡A dios mio! Dia what the hell is going on?"
"Isobel they have nothing to do with this" Dia said. "Let Luchi and her mom go."
"Oh alright" Isobel rolled her eyes. She turned around to Luchi's mother.
"You're going to forget everything that happened. You weren't feeling well and decided to take a nap" Isobel compelled her.
"Dia what is she doing?" Luchi exclaimed.
"Luchi listen to me" Dia began. "You trust me right?"
"Of course, but" Luchi stopped.
"Take your mom to her bedroom, stay there until I come and get you. After I'll explain everything" Dia told her friend. Luchi hesitantly nodded and walked over to her mother and took her to the bedroom.
"Well finally we're alone" Isobel sighed.
"How'd you find me?" Dia asked.
"Rumor had it you left Mystic Falls. I just thought I'd drop by and say hi" Isobel replied.
"That's complete bull" Dia snapped.
"How's your relationship with Damon" Isobel smirked. "Did Katherine showing up put a kink in that?"
Dia didn't answer for a moment. "What do you want?"
"Just to see how the situation with Elena and everyone was, but then you knew that. The main reason you came here was to find me. You took a risk coming to New York. That would be the first place Damon would try and look for you, but then you knew that he wouldn't come because he knew you were too smart for that" Isobel said. "So the better question is what do you want from me?"
"Katherine's trapped in the tomb" Dia said. "She wants out."
"You're helping Katherine?" Isobel said. "Of all the people. There must be motives behind that."
"There aren't actually" Dia replied. Isobel walked towards her.
"You're trying to find out more about what you are. You know Katherine knows something. You're trying to protect yourself from Klaus" Isobel said quietly. She looked and Dia and smirked.
"Well give Katherine this message" she finally said. "Tell her I'll send someone with news regarding her situation and soon." She walked past Dia getting ready to leave.
"I'm going to tell you something Dia" Isobel turned to her. "Having a Salvatore on your arm only condemns you, you might want to consider finding someone else."
Alaric and Damon sat together at the grill. They were watching the girl who was asking around about Mason.
"Mmm, Mason's mystery woman" Damon said.
"Where is Mason anyway?" Alaric asked.
"Decomposing in his truck" Damon smirked.
"So you think she is a werewolf?" Alaric looked at her.
"Well I hope not, because it's the full moon, Ric but we should definitely find out" Damon told him. He took out some wolfsbane from his pocket.
"What's that?" Alaric looked at the plant.
"Wolfsbane" Damon replied.
Elena walked downstairs and found Jenna on the floor searching in the closet.
"Hey what are you doing?" Elena asked.
"Perfect timing" Jenna said handing her a box.
"What is this stuff?" Elena frowned.
"You mom's file from the historical society. I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood and by roped, I mean very excited to participate" Jenna said sarcastically. She got up and closed the closet door. Behind it stood Elijah. Elena gasped a little and jumped surprised.
"Hey I'm Elijah" he smiled.
"Elijah is in town doing research on Mystic Falls" Jenna told Elena.
Elijah walked closer to Elena. "It's a pleasure." He offered his hand to Elena and they shook hands.
" So you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff or Elena and I could help you load it into your car" Jenna offered.
"Or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow" Elijah suggested.
"Also a good plan" Jenna said.
"Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna and Elena…" he looked at Elena. "I hope to see you again sometime soon." He walked towards the door and left the house.
Elena ran up the stairs to Jeremy's bedroom and knocked on the door, but Elijah appeared and grabbed her wrist. Jeremy opened the door and Elijah disappeared.
"What is it?" Elena asked.
"Jenna was just asking me to get you to help her with boxes" Elena replied.
"Okay" Jeremy said. He walked out and headed downstairs. Elena turned around and came face to face with Elijah again.
"It's a wise choice" he told her.
"What do you want? Where's Dia? When did you talk to her?" Elena demanded.
"I think it's time you and I have a little chat" Elijah replied.
