GILBERT HOUSE
Jeremy opens the front door for Bonnie.
" Hey." Jeremy greets
" Hey." She smiles and Jeremy grabs the bag from her
" Thanks. That thing weighs a ton. I'm starving. You guys have any... food?" Bonnie asks but pauses in front of the living room seeing the scene there. Candles are lit and placed all around the room and Bonnie reacts nervously
"Oh, God. Heh! This is a date." Bonnie realises and Jeremy walks into the room and stands in front of her
" No, no it's not like a date, date. It's more of a hey, I kissed you, and I thought you liked it, um... hang thing." Jeremy explains
" Jeremy, I need to make sure Elena is cool with us before anything else happens." Bonnie says and Jeremy places her things on the couch
" I didn't realize my sister had approval over who I'm with." Jeremy says
" She's my best friend. I tell her everything and this whole hang thing might freak her out."
" All right, all right, so we'll, um... We'll hang out, eat some food, work on some spells. It's not a big deal. But you did... You did like it, right?"
" Yeah. I liked it." Bonnie admits, smiling
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
Damon and Alaric are currently chatting near the table away from the other's who refuse to talk to each other. Aalleeyah walks over to Damon to try to talk
"Damon, can I talk to you in another room?" Aalleeyah urges but Damon doesn't sense the urgency
"Later" He brushes her off then the doorbell rings and Aalleeyah groans frustrated when Damon goes to answer it. Damon opens the door and sees Elijah outside
" Good evening." Elijah addresses
" Thank you for coming. Please, come in." Damon invites
" Just one moment. Can I just say that if you have less than honourable intentions about how this evening is going to proceed, I suggest you reconsider. " Elijah warns
" No, nothing, nothing dishonourable. Just getting to know you."
" Hmm. Well, that's good." Elijah says and walks into the house
" Because, you know, although Elena and I have this deal, if you so much as make a move to cross me, I'll kill you and I'll kill everyone in this house. Are we clear?" Elijah threatens
" Crystal." Damon confirms and shuts the door. Elijah sees Aalleeyah and walks to her with Damon following close behind
"Ms Gilbert. You look very beautiful tonight" Elijah compliments and kisses her hand before moving onto compliment a nearby Jenna as Damon glares after him. Aalleeyah sees this and elbows him lightly in the ribs and he turns his head to her
"Be nice" Aalleeyah mouths, mocking Damon's earlier words to her. He rolls his eyes playfully
"Come on time for dinner" Damon says and picks her up and over his shoulder and carries a giggling Aalleeyah in the dining room.
Damon, Aalleeyah, Elijah, Jenna, John and Alaric are all sitting around the table. Aalleeyah knows that with Elijah now here, she was not going to be able to verbally tell Damon about the daggering Elijah situation. She's trying to text him on her phone but he's not responding and she can't hear his text ring tone so she assumes he has turned his phone off. Jenna is pouring some wine into Damon's glass
" I hate to break it to you, Damon and Aalleeyah, but according to Elijah, your families are so not a founders of this town." Jenna informs
" Hmm, do tell." Damon insists
" Well, as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials in the 1690s. Over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution." Elijah says
" Hmm. Because they were witches." Jenna elaborates
" Yeah, but there's no tangible proof there were witches in Salem." Aalleeyah fires back
" Well, the lore says that there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria. It broke out in the neighbouring settlement, so these witches were rounded up. They were tied to stakes in a field together and, uh, burned. Some say you could hear the screams from miles around us. They were consumed by the fire. Besides I think we both know there were witches in Salem Ms Gilbert. You're a smart girl I hear" Elijah says and Aalleeyah smiles shyly. Jenna, on the other hand, scoffs
"What was that scoff for?" Aalleeyah glares
"Just you're not as smart as you think you are" Jenna spits
"Oh really?"
"Yes really. Just because you're a Gilbert doesn't make you perfect Aalleeyah" Jenna replies and Aalleeyah grab the bottle of wine and starts chugging it down
"Should you really be drinking? I mean, you are a minor" Jenna comments
"Should you really be drinking? I mean, you do turn into a whore once you've had a few" Aalleeyah responds angrily. Jenna tries to stand up, ready to hit Aalleeyah but Alaric pulls her back down before she fully gets up
"Don't talk like that Aalleeyah" John scolds and Aalleeyah glares over at him and stands up, fuming
"Okay first off, you are not my father. You don't get to tell me what to do" She tells John
"Second of all, why do you hate me so much? I've never done anything to you" She yells at Jenna
"Last of all, fuck you all" she shouts at the rest of the table before grabbing the bottle of wine and storming off upstairs.
"Bitch" Jenna comments. Damon sighs and gets up before going up the stairs. He walks in their room seeing Aalleeyah watching TV, finishing off the bottle of wine
"What was that?" Damon asks
"They provoked me" Aalleeyah simply shrugs
"Please go apologize" Damon begs
"Why should I? I didn't do anything wrong"
"Come on, for me" Damon pouts
"Argh fine! But you owe me big time" Aalleeyah groans before getting up, leaving the now empty bottle behind
"Deal" Damon accepts and follows Aalleeyah out the door. They both walk down the stairs and back into the dining room and all occupants look at them
"I'm sorry" Aalleeyah says
"Anddddd?" Damon presses
"And I promise not to tell the truth to you sensitive wimps again"
"Leeyah."
"Fine! I promise to be nice. That's the best I can do" Aalleeyah says and sits back down with Damon doing the same.
" So, why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?" Damon asks, trying to relieve the tension in the room
" You know... a healthy historian's curiosity, of course." Elijah replies
" Of course."
GILBERT'S LAKE HOUSE
Elena is sitting on the couch reading another journal of Jonathan Gilbert when Stefan walks into the house and over to her
"Jonathan Gilbert got crazier and crazier. I guess that's what happens when you spend your life obsessed with vampires." Elena comments and puts that journal down and picks up another and begins to read that one
" He researched the Originals." Elena furrows her brow
" You're kidding." Stefan says and walks to the couch and sits next to her
" Later in life, look." Elena shows him the journal
" Pages and pages of questions and scribbles." Elena narrates and flips through the pages and stops on one depicting a drawn silver dagger
" What's that?" Elena ask and they both look at each other for a moment. She looks back to the page and starts to read out what's written
""The wood from one tree and one tree alone, an ancient white oak would bring death to an Original vampire. When the tree burned, all hope was thought lost." He was trying to figure out how to kill an Original." Elena reads and looks up at Stefan. She then looks back down and reads again
""But the ash from the tree was saved and witches forged a dagger to which the ash could be bonded. This alchemic bond provides the necessary poison"" Elena recites and Stefan gets up and stands in front of her
" Elena..." Stefan starts
" I wonder if this is true. I mean, do you think this dagger actually exists?" Elena asks
" I know it does..." Stefan admits and Elena looks at him, shocked.
" Because John gave it to Damon." Stefan confesses
" John gave Damon the weapon that's supposed to kill Elijah? This one?" Elena points at the dagger and Stefan nods, confirming. She reads aloud again
""It must be brandished by humans alone, for it will bring death to all demons who wield it."" Elena announces. Stefan takes the journal from her hands and re-reads what she just read out. He quickly gets his phone and rings Damon
" John's trying to get Damon killed." Stefan proclaims
SALVATORE HOUSE
" Would anyone care for some cognac? I have a bottle that I've been saving for ages." Damon suggests and stands from the table
" None for me thanks. Nine bottles of wine is my limit." Alaric jokes
GILBERT'S LAKE HOUSE
Damon isn't answering his phone
" Why is your phone off? Call me." Stefan says into the phone and Elena looks up at him
" What's going on, Stefan?" She questions
" Damon is planning on killing Elijah. Tonight." Stefan says
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
All the people start to get up form the dining table and Damon looks at Aalleeyah
" The gentlemen should take their drinks in the study." Aalleeyah announces
" I have to say the food was almost as wonderful as the company." Elijah compliments
" I like you." Jenna laughs then walks over to John and hands some plates to him
" Here you are, gentleman, make yourself useful. Hmm?" Jenna says. Joh takes the plates and walks away. Jenna walks up behind Jenna
" Here, here. Put me to work." Alaric volunteers
" Um, I got it." Jenna awkwardly says and picks up the plates before trying to walk away but Alaric stops her
" Hey, Jenna, are you... are you okay?" Alaric asks
" Yeah, fine, Ric." She replies and leaves. John looks at Alaric and walks to him
" I suspect this is my fault." John confesses
" What did you do now?" Alaric asks
" I merely mentioned that you haven't been completely honest with her about your dead wife."
" You son of bitch." Alaric curses and grabs John by his collar. John grabs his wrists and pulls his hands off of him.)
" I think I've been very clear with you, Ric. I want my ring back." John says and walks out of the room.
"Alaric" Aalleeyah whispers loudly from the other side of the room and he looks over at her. She gestures for him to come to her, which he does. Aalleeyah grabs a paper and pen nearby and quickly writes on it. She shows it to him and it reads "If Damon uses dagger on Elijah, it kill him". Alaric reads it and looks up at her wide eyed.
"You distract Elijah, I'll tell Damon" He mouths and Aalleeyah nods her head
Damon and Elijah are in the library. Damon is pouring drinks for them
" So, let me guess. In addition to the moonstone, the doppelgänger, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, you need to find this witch burial ground." Damon wonders
" Because I feel as though we've grown so close, Damon, I'll tell you yes. Do you know where it is?" Elijah asks
" Maybe. Tell me why it's so important." Damon replies and hands him a glass of scotch
" We're not that close." Elijah responds and turns around, examining the bookcase filled with literature
" It's quite a collection you have here." Elijah comments
" Hmm." Damon answers. While Elijah has his back turned, Damon discreetly pulls out the silver dagger from it's hiding place behind the glasses
" It's a funny thing about books. Before they existed, people actually had memories." Elijah notes. Suddenly Alaric and Aalleeyah burst into the room and Damon hides the dagger again before Elijah sees
" Gentlemen, we forgot about dessert." Alaric says
" Elijah." Aalleeyah beckons and holds her hand out from him to take
" Miss Gilbert..." Elijah hands the glass to Damon and he downs it before Elijah takes Aalleeyah's hand. He twirls her around, much to Damon's dislike, and leave the room together. Once they leave, Damon smacks Alaric, angrily. Alaric points to the dagger but Damon doesn't understand so Alaric walks to the desk and writes something on a piece of paper. He hands the paper to Damon and it reads "The dagger will kill you if you use it". Damon reads it and furiously throws the paper at Alaric and they both leave the room
AN: Sorry if this is shit but I didn't have time to proof read so... Anybody have any suggestions why Jenna hates Aalleeyah so much? PM or review my lovely followers :) I love you all
