LOCKWOOD CELLAR

In wolf form, Tyler growls and snarls at Matt and Caroline who are only protected by an iron gate that Caroline is holding shut.

"Caroline, let me help!" Matt begs

"Get back, I got it!" Caroline commands. Tyler then attacks. He tries to get in and fits his nose through the bars, his jaw snapping and snarling at the two. Caroline visibly flinches but keeps hold of the gate. Matt raises his gun at the wolf. Tyler backs away but pounces for a second time.

"Caroline, the door's not going to hold." Matt informs and backs away, never lowering the gun

"Come on!" Matt yells

"Tyler, please!" Caroline begs but Tyler doesn't stop, he continues to try and get in. Matt, not knowing what else to do, shots the gun at Tyler. It hits the wolf and Tyler yelps in pain and backs off. Matt decides to shoot him again.

"Matt! No, hey, no! It's Tyler!" Caroline screams

"It's trying to kill us!" Matt argues

"Wait!" Caroline tells him and looks at Tyler to find him panting heavily on the ground.

"He's wounded." Caroline observes

"Caroline, stay back." Matt warns but Caroline ignores him and starts to unlock the gate.

"We can go around him." Caroline says

"Are you nuts?"

"You're not going to shoot him again, okay? Okay. Matt, take my hand." Caroline extends her arm to Matt and she opens the gate and walks out. Matt still has the gun raised towards Tyler

"I got it." Matt ignores her hand

"Matt, take my hand." Caroline pressures. Matt relents finally and places the gun over his shoulder and takes Caroline's hand. Caroline super speeds the two out of there.

ALARIC'S LOFT

Damon is sitting at the bar in Alaric's apartment, looking over the werewolf bite on his forearm. Katherine walks over and stands next to him, looking at the bite as well.

"So that's what a werewolf bite looks like." Katherine says

"Yep." Damon replies

"It's not that bad."

"Will be." Damon gets up and rolls his sleeve down, covering the bite.

"So that's it? You're just... going to die?" Katherine asks

"Well, that depends. You know anything about a cure?" Damon questions and Katherine shakes her head no.

"Me, either." Damon says and picks up his jacket from the couch and puts it on.

"145 years and no last good-bye?" Katherine asks

"You don't get a good-bye." Damon turns to leave but Katherine super speeds in his path and puts her hand on his chest to stop him

"No. Don't leave mad." Katherine pleads

"Us ending up on good terms isn't exactly on my bucket list, Katherine." Damon tries to exit again but Katherine stops him again

"Klaus made me call Jenna to lure her out. There was nothing that I could do. I didn't have a choice." Katherine explains

"That's why I gave you the vervain. So you had a choice."

"It was her or me. I chose her."

"I helped you. You owed me. Now when Klaus dies, you're going to walk out of here without a scratch and Aalleeyah and Elena's aunt dies. Somehow you're the only one that wins. How'd that happen?"

"I didn't let love get in the way."

"Enjoy an eternity alone, Katherine." Damon walks past Katherine, to the door

"What are you going to do?" Katherine asks and Damon turns back around to face her

"I'm going to offer myself as a replacement to Klaus." Damon says

"He won't take you. He saw your bite, he said that your blood is impure. I'm sorry, Damon. But Jenna's dead, there's nothing you can do about it."

QUARRY

Elena and Jenna are sitting on the dirt floor and Jenna is holding her head.

"Oh, my head. What's wrong with me?" Jenna groans

"Do you remember what happened?" Elena asks

"You called me. You were so scared. Oh, ah, I should have realised that it wasn't you. The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire."

"Klaus. It was Klaus."

"He made me drink his blood. And I don't... I don't remember anything after that." Jenna looks around, scared.

"Where are we? What happened?" Jenna questions and Elena takes her hands in her own

"We're at the quarry. He brought us here." Elena tells her

"Why don't I remember anything?"

"Jenna, do you remember... When I told you how someone becomes a vampire?" Elena

"Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it's…" Jenna pauses, now comprehending what happened to her.

"Oh, god. He killed me." Jenna gasps

"Jenna, listen to me. Listen to me; everything's going to be okay. I'm going to get you out of here."

"I'm a vampire?"

"And I bet you're hungry." Greta says, making her presence known. The two on the floor look up at her. Elena spots a sharp rock near and hurries to get it but using her magic, Greta sends Elena flying. Elena hits the dirt painfully and Greta creates a ring of fire around her. Elena gets up and tries to leave the ring but can't.

"Don't bother trying to get through. I spelled the circle. You're trapped. No matter what you do." Greta warns

"Greta... Please, just- just let her go." Elena begs. With the sharp rock, Greta cuts open her wrist and blood seeps from the wound. Jenna looks on, full of hunger.

"Klaus chose her." Greta informs

"No." Elena says. Greta pushes her wrist towards Jenna, urging her to drink

"Drink it." Greta demands

"Jenna, don't!" Elena yells

"I can't." Jenna refuses

"Let her go. Hey!" Elena tries. Jenna continues to hungrily eye Greta's bloody wrist and eventually gives in, pushing her fangs into Greta's wrist.

"No! No." Elena shouts as her eyes glisten with tears. Jenna shuts her eyes as she drinks in Greta's blood. A few moments later, Greta rips her wrist from Jenna and the new vampire falls to the floor.

"That's enough." Greta gets up.

"Jenna. It's going to be okay." Elena soothes. Greta flicks her wrist, using magic to create another ring of fire, around Jenna this time. Jenna backs away from the flames, terrified.

"Look at me. Hey, look at me." Jenna turns her head to Elena with blood all around her mouth.

"t's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay." Elena comforts. Jenna silently says no and dark veins appear around her eyes.

ABANDONED WITCH HOUSE

In the basement, Jeremy, Bonnie and Aalleeyah are flipping through pages and pages of old grimoires.

"This is useless. All these grimoires. There has to be something in here to keep Elena from becoming a vampire." Jeremy argues

"And we'll keep looking. Until the last minute." Bonnie replies

"Just shut up and look" Aalleeyah groans.

Outside the house, Elijah, Stefan and Alaric have arrived and are walking across the lawn towards the house.

"The sacrifice is completed in stages as the full moon sets. First the werewolf is killed, then the vampire. Finally the doppelgänger. Once Elena dies, the curse will be broken. Klaus will become hybrid." Elijah explains

"So when do we attack?" Alaric asks

"Elena's death will activate his dormant werewolf side. He'll be vulnerable during the transformation. That's when Aalleeyah comes in." Elijah responds

"And you're sure Aalleeyah will survive this?" Stefan questions

"Easily. But all I need is for her to deliver him to the brink of death, I'll finish the job myself." Elijah says. Stefan's phone then rings and he answers it, seeing it's Damon. He walks away to take the call.

"Damon." Stefan greets

"You're not going to like what I'm about to say." Damon responds

"Cut to the chase. Is the sacrifice happening or not?"

"It's happening. I tried to stop it, but it got... Complicated."

"We're sticking with the original plan. We're meeting Aalleeyah right now."

"He's got Jenna, Stefan."

"What?"

"He got Katherine to lure her out of the house." Damon tells him and Stefan looks back at Alaric, worried.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Alaric asks, seeing Stefan's look

"He's going to use her as the vampire in the ritual." Damon finishes

"Oh, my god." Stefan breathes.

QUARRY

Inside her ring of fire, Elena is pacing back and forth while Jenna kneels in hers.

"How are you feeling?" Elena asks

"I feel like myself... Only not. Everything is brighter. The fire's hotter. Part of me is terrified, but there's another part of me that doesn't want to feel anything." Jenna describes

"Vampires can turn off the part that's human. That's the part that hurts."

"I'm gonna die, aren't I?" Jenna fearfully asks, her eyes glistening with tears.

"No! Jenna, I'm not going to let that happen. I don't care what I have to do." Elena promises. In the distance, twigs snapping and groaning fills the air which are heard by Elena and Jenna. Jenna's head snaps to the source of the sound.

"Who's that?" Jenna questions

"That must be the werewolf." Elena realises. Greta shoves Jules to the floor. Jules holds her stomach, groaning in agony.

"What's happening to me?" Jules groans painfully

"I cast a spell to slow down your transformation. Your insides are trying to tear themselves free." Greta tells her. Greta backs away and flicks her wrist, her magic lighting a third ring of fire around Jules.

"Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance in nature. It's your duty to them to keep this curse sealed." Elena says to the witch

"My duty is to Klaus! The new order." Greta spits back as Klaus arrives.

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner." Klaus smirks then looks to the three sacrifices

"Hello, my lovelies. Are we ready?" Klaus asks happily

LOCKWOOD MANSION

Caroline and Matt run into the Lockwood house. Caroline shits the door behind them and is sure to lock them.

"Come on. Get in here!" Caroline says. Caroline releases a breath and leans against the doors. Matt looks out the window, looking for any signs of Tyler

"Do you see anything?" Caroline asks Matt

"We're not safe here. If that thing wants in, it's getting in." Matt reloads the gun

"How did you even know what I was? I compelled you to forget!" Caroline demands to know

"I was on vervain. I faked forgetting so I could spy on you. It was your mom's idea." Matt walks out of the room to look out from another window. Stunned, Caroline follows behind him.

"Wait, my mom knows?! Oh my God! You told her. Well, what'd she say?" Caroline rushes out. Matt turns to look at her

"Your mom hates vampires. She grew up hating vampires. She'll probably always hate vampires." Matt replies

"Well, what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Where does this leave us?"

"Stuck in this house. Trying not to get mauled to death by our friend." Matt leaves the room. Caroline is left, sad and distressed.

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

At the Salvatore house, a person is knocking persistently on the door. Damon comes down the stairs and walks towards the door

"Heard ya." Damon sighs as the knocking keeps up. On the way to the door, Damon stumbles. After stabilising himself, he rolls his sleeve up and looks at the werewolf bite, seeing it worse than before. Damon makes it to the door and opens it to find John.

"Great. I was just thinking about getting a bite to eat." Damon sasses

"Elena hasn't returned any of my calls for days. I need to see her." John walks into the house and Damon shuts the door behind him and turns to face him.

"Well, you're a day late and a daughter short, John." Damon says

"What are you talking about?"

"Klaus has her. Sacrifice goes down tonight."

"How could you let that happen? You were supposed to keep her safe. Wasn't that the sum total of your plan; to keep her safe?"

"She is safe. I fed her my blood."

"You what?!"

"When Klaus kills Elena in the sacrifice, she will come back to life. Granted, as the thing you hate most in the world, but no one really cares what you think." Damon tries to walk away, into the parlour but John attempts to grab him. Damon super speeds and grabs John. slamming him up against the wall.

"You do not want to mess with me right now." Damon warns. John straightens himself up and looks at Damon.

"You ruined her life. You know that, right?" John asks

"I know, John. I took her choice, destroyed her future. Trust me, I get it. It actually gets worse." Damon walks off

"How could it possibly get any worse?"

QUARRY

Elena, Jenna and Jules are still trapped in their rings of fire while Jules continues to groan in pain. Nearby, Klaus takes the moonstone from his pocket

"I've got the moonstone. I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it." Klaus sadly passes the moonstone over to Greta. Greta accepts it and checks the sky.

"The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?" Greta questions

"I remember." Klaus replies. Greta puts the moonstone into a ceremonial bowl with flames. Some sparks fly when the moonstone is being destroyed. Greta starts to recite a spell as Klaus walks over to the three women in the rings of fire.

"Everything I did... I was just trying to help Tyler." Jules struggles to say to Elena through her pain

"Are you Jules?"

"I didn't want him to be alone!" Jules yells

"Shall we?" Klaus rhetorically asks Jules. Jules' ring of fire disappears and Jules tries to take advantage of this. Her eyes turn yellow and using her werewolf speed, she tries to rush at Klaus but he is ready and pins her to the floor. He then punches his hand into Jules' chest, grabs her heart and rips it out. Taking one final breathe, with tears streaming, Jules dies. Klaus, breathing heavily, keeps the heart in his hands as Elena and Jenna look on, terrified.

ABANDONED WITCH HOUSE

Aalleeyah and Jeremy are reading through grimoires as Bonnie reads over Jeremy's shoulder.

"Which one are you reading?" Bonnie asks

"Emily Bennett's, there's a section on spells she did for my ancestor, Johnathan Gilbert." Jeremy replies

"Yeah, I think she had a thing for him." Jeremy looks up lovingly at Jeremy and Bonnie smiles back down at him.

"Ugh, get a room" Aalleeyah groans.

"There's something on a resuscitative spell she was working on." Jeremy continues

"I saw that, too. She just didn't explain what it did, exactly."

"Well, maybe Johnathan wrote about it in his journals. You know, I can have Stefan bring them." Jeremy says. The door to the basement creaks open.

"Someone's here." Bonnie announces

"Good work Sherlock" Aalleeyah sarcastically replies and Bonnie gives her a glare. Alaric walks down the steps.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Jeremy asks

"Elijah and Stefan are upstairs." Alaric informs then turns to Bonnie

"You mind if I have a second with Jeremy and Aalleeyah?" Alaric asks Bonnie

"Sure, yeah. Of course." Bonnie stands up and exits the basement

"What's the matter?" Jeremy asks

"Something's happened to Jenna." Alaric admits. Jeremy and Aalleeyah stare blankly at Alaric, curious to what he's going to say next.

Bonnie is now outside, speaking with Stefan and Elijah.

"Why did he take Jenna?" Bonnie wonders

"A punishment for meddling." Elijah informs

"Klaus was going to use Tyler and Caroline. But Damon rescued them." Stefan notifies

"Then we need to go. Now. Before Jenna's been sacrificed. I can kill Klaus myself." Bonnie says

"Bonnie... If you use that much power, you'll be dead. We've already been through this. It's not an option. Aalleeyah has to do it." Stefan sighs

"How do we know she will even do it huh? How do we know she won't turn on us?" Bonnie questions

"She won't. She's been preparing for this since she was a young girl. She knows that it has to be done" Elijah inputs

"Jenna can't die" Bonnie whispers sadly

"Well, Stefan would agree with you." Elijah says as Bonnie looks at him, completely confused.

"We're going to offer another vampire. One that he'll want more. Me." Stefan declares

QUARRY

At the quarry, Greta is chanting the spell while Klaus squeezes blood from Jules' heart into the ceremonial bowl, into the flames.

"Does that mean it's working?" Klaus questions

"It's working." Greta nods as Elena watches Klaus and Greta from her ring of fire. Jenna looks over at her with tears in her eyes.

"The day that the lawyers called to tell me that I was going to become your guardian, you know what my first thought was?" Jenna reminisces and Elena shakes her head no

"Isn't there someone else who can do this?" Jenna tearfully laughs

"Jenna, there was no one else who could have gotten me and Jeremy and even Aalleeyah through all of that."

"It's just the thought that I almost passed up taking care of you."

"But you didn't. You put your entire life on hold to help us."

"Look around, Elena. I failed you."

"No. You didn't. I failed you. I'm so sorry. Listen. Being a vampire, it intensifies your guilt. But it also makes you stronger and faster. You can fight back. I'm gonna get through this. I'll be okay. I need you to believe that. Promise me, when you get the chance…" Elena places her index finger to her lips.

"Run." Elena whispers

"Okay." Jenna nods and whispers back

LOCKWOOD MANSION

Matt looks out the window for Tyler.

"You don't think I killed him, do you?" Matt worriedly asks Caroline who is sitting in the parlour on the couch

"No. No. It takes a lot more than wooden bullets to kill a werewolf. He's still out there somewhere. Do you think my mom wants to kill me?" Caroline asks

"I don't think your mom knows what to do with you."

"Yeah, well, I don't really know what to do with me, either." Caroline sadly sighs as Matt looks at her. Caroline is alerted when she hears a sound coming from the front porch.

"What is it?" Matt asks and beings to walk to the front door.

"Wait." Caroline commands and listens carefully. She hears shuffling coming from the porch and Matt points the gun at the door, just in case someone comes in. Caroline pushes the barrel of the gun down though.

"Don't. Don't shoot." Caroline tells him and runs over to the front doors

"What the hell are you doing?" Matt asks. Caroline looks out the glass on the front door and spots Tyler on the porch, lying naked. Caroline walks back over to Matt.

"Give me your jacket." Caroline demands, extending her arm.

"What?"

"Your jacket, take it off." Matt quickly takes his jacket off and passes it to Caroline. She takes it and opens the doors and walks out. Matt follows her. Caroline bends down next to Tyler and puts the jacket over his nude body.

"Hey." Caroline greets. Tyler looks up at Caroline as she rubs his head

"Caroline?" Tyler gasps

"Hey. It's okay. It's okay." Caroline soothes

ABANDONED WITCH HOUSE

Outside the house, Stefan is there when Elijah joins him

"Bonnie did the locator spell. They're at Steven's Quarry." Elijah informs

"I'll head over there first and you'll follow with Aalleeyah when it's time." Stefan says

"Just as the moon hits its final phase. She's to stay hidden until then. He cannot know that she's alive." Stefan nods, understanding and starts to leave

"You're very honourable." Elijah calls out. Stefan spins back around and looks at Elijah before walking back to him.

"Are you? Because this whole plan is, um, it's contingent upon your honour, Elijah." Stefan asks

"I won't fail you."

"Klaus is your brother. I know I've wanted to kill my brother a thousand times. I've never been able to."

"Well, Klaus was not my only brother. I had siblings; parents. I had a family. Over the centuries, Klaus hunted them down one by one and he took them from me. He scattered them across the seas where their bodies could not be found."

"You want revenge."

"Sometimes there's honour in revenge, Stefan. I won't fail you."

"Please end this." Stefan pleads then leaves.

Inside the house, John walks into the basement carrying a card box box. Jeremy , Bonnie and Aalleeyah walk over to him when he puts the box on the table.

"I brought the Gilbert journals. I think I know the spell you're talking about." John explains

"Where's Damon?" Aalleeyah asks

"Upstairs. Alaric wanted to talk to him." John says as the four start to flip through journals that were in the box.

UPSTAIRS

"He did what?!" Damon yells

"He wasn't going to let Jenna die." Alaric says

"We have a witch. She kills Klaus. No one has to die! God, Stefan, damn it!" Damon frustratedly shouts and then punches his fist through a wall with his vamp speed, which causes his entire arm to go into the wall. He yanks it back out.

"Hey, are you okay?" Alaric questions

"I'm fine. Well, that's my brother for you. Always cleaning up my messes." Damon calms down then walks out of the house while Alaric looks on, concerned

QUARRY

Klaus walks over to Jenna in her ring of fire. Jenna and Elena stand up and look at him

"Let her go. I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't!" Elena walks closer to the flames but as she gets close, they flare up even more. She backs away.

"Careful." Klaus warns

"Elena, don't." Jenna protests

"No, Jenna! We can't leave Jeremy without a family." Elena argues

"I followed your rules; I did everything that you asked. I didn't run. Please." Elena begs Klaus

"Well, well." Klaus looks to the top of the quarry

"I don't recall you being on the guest list." Klaus comments. Jenna and Elena look up and Elena gasps, seeing Stefan standing there.

"I'm here to talk." Stefan tells him

"Very well, then." Klaus briefly looks at Jenna then super speeds to where Stefan is.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?" Klaus questions

ABANDONED WITCH HOUSE

Inside the basement, John, Bonnie, Aalleeyah, Damon and Jeremy are speaking.

"We found something in the Gilbert journals." Bonnie informs

"Johnathan journaled the story of a mother who called on Emily's services. The woman's baby was sick; dying. Emily cast a spell that would bind the woman's life force with her child." John explains

"Skip to the save Elena part." Damon snaps

"Well, the child died, but the mother's life force flowed through her, restoring her to life." John finishes

"We already know Elena's going to come back to life. But she'll be a vampire." Jeremy says

"Not if her soul remains intact." John corrects

"Her soul, really? You're going to put your faith in some act of god mumbo jumbo?" Damon asks skeptically John walks close to Damon

"I refuse to let Elena become the thing I've spent my life protecting her against. And you can call that God or mystical energy, whatever you want, but yes... I'm putting my faith in it." John says then turns and walks to Bonnie. Aalleeyah gets up from her spot and walks outside, sitting on the front porch. She rubs her temples and takes a deep breath, then buries her head in her hands. She feels a presence sit down next to her and she can instantly tell by the cologne that it's Damon.

"You okay?" He asks

"Do you care?" She replies without taking her head out of her hands

"You didn't answer my question"

"You didn't answer mine"

"Yes I care. Now are you okay?"

"I don't know."

"What's upsetting you?"

"It's stupid"

"You can tell me" Damon continues to persist. Aalleeyah sighs

"It's just that growing up, I tried everything to be perfect. I became head cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, graduated at 15 and went to college at 16. I worked my ass off to be what my parents wanted me to be but it just didn't seem like they really cared or loved me. Elena was always the golden child. Everyone loved her. Now it just seems like it's happening again."

"Well she is about to die. I think she should have people fawning over her"

"I told you it was stupid… You know, funny enough, growing up it felt like the only person who loved me was Aunt Jenna. We literally used to do everything together and now she hates me" Aalleeyah humourlessly laughs

"Do you really have no idea why she hates you?"

"I know why. We got into a fight when I was 14. I can barely even remember what it was about. I just know that it was fucking stupid and it ended with her slapping me. I really don't want her to die" Aalleeyah holds in her tears at the thought of Jenna dying.

"Well save her." Damon shrugs

"How am I meant to do that? Saving her would mean killing another person"

"Since when do you care about that?"

"Elena would kill me. I know she doesn't want Jenna to die but I don't think she would like an innocent person to just be killed."

"Do what you gotta do Leeyah" Damon tells her and turns to look at her. She looks at him too and they just stare at each other. Their intense moment is interrupted by Bonnie

"Sorry to interrupt your little gossip session but are you going to do the spell for John or ME?" Bonnie sasses

"You do it" Aalleeyah tells her

"Why? Not strong enough?"

"Bonnie, I am the most powerful witch in the world. A thousand times stronger than you so shut up" Aalleeyah bitches, not in the mood to deal with Bonnie's up herself comments

"You know, you say that Aalleeyah but I've never even really see you do magic" Aalleeyah gets up to pounce on her but Damon pulls her back down

"Bonnie, just do the spell before she kills you." Damon says and Bonnie rolls her eyes before walking inside.

"I swear to god if she says one more thing, I'll probably fucking kill the bitch" Aalleeyah warns

AN: Okay so I know there wasn't really any original material in this but I tried. Anyways, I have huge writers block for the next chapter! I don't know how I'm going to have Jenna survive and Klaus still become a hybrid! Please help! I am reallllyyyy stuck. Like how does Klaus get a new vampire in time? Should Damon and Aalleeyah just like give him one or like does Klaus already have a back-up back-up vamp? I really don't know. Help.
