"We're in New York and instead of partying and you know doing cheesy tourist stuff we have to go relive past your glories?" Buffy asks pouting as she and Damon walk up Fifth Avenue, this was her first time anywhere other than Mystic Falls or Sunnydale and they hadn't done anything fun yet.

"Buffy, I dragged you to New York because in a matter of 3 days you managed to piss off everyone in Mystic Falls."
Buffy sighs in disappointment "Actually I'd been aiming for 2 days. I wasn't at my best."

Damon chuckles softly at her words before turning to face the blonde "Yeah well you're new to the whole no emotion thing. Look when I lived here I fed like crazy and had a blast and went undetected for years."

Buffy frowns before arching a brow and crossing her arms at the vampire, a little unsure, she had a feeling he had a different motive for bringing her here, and she wanted to know exactly what it was "So we are here for fun? Dame come on tell a girl the truth."

"I'm telling you the truth Buff." He promises as he looks down at the blonde beauty in front of him "Look. You wanted out. You want you and me on a fun ass adventure. And here we are. In a city where you and I can do whatever we want without consequences. No guilt, no Stefan bugging us both."

Buffy smiles before wrapping her arms around Damon's neck making the brunette blue-eyed vampire smile "Whatever we want right?" Buffy asks teasingly making Damon roll his eyes "Hell yeah." He mumbles before pulling her closer and kissing her.

While he knew this wasn't real, and it was gonna hurt like hell later, the only way to keep her from running off was to give her what she wanted and for some reason right now that was him. And to be honest he was going to enjoy it while it lasted.
Pulling back Buffy smirks before pausing as her eyes catch something, an advert the new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of art.

"Buff?" Damon asks frowning as she goes deadly silent for a moment, frowning he turns and that's when he spots it the sign. He couldn't help but exhale the old Buffy loved art just like her mother, her reacting to this was a pretty good sign.

Suddenly Buffy clears her throat and turns to Damon "I'll meet you at Billy's." She says before pulling away.

"Wait where are you going?" Damon calls watching the blonde walk away, turning around so she was walking backward she smirks "I've heard that your not a New Yorker till you have your first makeover. I'll be back!"

Stefan groans as he hears the doorbell ring frowning he looks around the house "Damon?" He calls before speeding over to Damon's room only for his eyes to widen. Where the hell was he? Panic fills the vampire and he speeds down the hall to Buffy's room but alas it was empty.

As the doorbell rings again he groans in frustration and panic, this was bad news, the two of them out and about together was never a good sign.

Heading downstairs he opens the door in annoyance only for his eyes to widen as there stood on the other side of the door was Klaus and Joy.

"Ah Stefan..." Klaus says with a smile before placing Joy in his arms making Stefan panic slightly and stare down at the week old baby in his arms...he had never actually held a baby, so was freaking out just a little.
Klaus chuckles softly before smiling "I got your message. Silas something."

Stefan sighs before adjusting Joy in his arms "I need to Call Damon and find out where Buffy is."
Klaus sighs before rolling his eyes "Fine. I'll go annoy Caroline. She's cleaning up Buffy's mess from last night I presume."

Damon sighs as he glances around the street in search of the blonde emotionless Uber Slayer who had disappeared to go get something to eat. Hopefully, that was all she was doing and not ripping some poor dress attendants head off "What do you mean you took her to New York?!" Stefan exclaims into the phone in anger.
Damon merely sighs "And that tone is the reason I didn't pick up the phone the first 20 times you called."
"Where is she now?" Stefan asks in frustration while bouncing a sobbing Joy in his arms who only wanted her mother.

Damon winces at the sound of the newest edition to the Summers family cries "Said she was going to get something to eat. Let's be thankful she doesn't eat people."
"I take it your search for Katherine is over then? Hold on—"

Stefan adjusts the phone on his ear before sitting down holding a bottle to Joy's lips "Come on Jo. Eat."
"She stubborn like her mother then?"
Stefan groans in frustration "She wouldn't be miserable if her mom was here."
"I'm surprised Klaus is letting her stay with you."

"Who do you think dropped her off, he is here annoying Caroline while I babysit." Stefan says in frustration before smiling as the little girl slowly begins to sleep in his arms, he hated to admit it but he loved this little girl, she was exactly a mini Buffy, if him and Buffy had ever been human together he could imagine this would have been their lives "So why are you in New York?"

Damon sighs as he listens to the tone of his brother's voice, clearly his brother was getting too attached to this little summers "Look babysitter just focus on mini summers. This little joy ride is actually a cure hunt. No pun intended." He says as he pulls out an old photo from the '70s of him and Will before looking up and smiling at the bar sign 'Billy's'
"That vampire Katherine sent after Hayley was a friend of mine in the city. Will got vampires fake identities and I'm sure that Katherine was one of his clients."

"And Buffy's okay with this little field trip?"

Stefan asks curiously as he looks down as Joy was now playing with his finger staring at it as though it was the most interesting thing in the world "Just yesterday she was living the emotionless Slayer Original highlife. She doesn't want to go back to being just the Slayer."

"That's why I didn't tell her."

Stefan shakes his head in disbelief, his brother couldn't really be this stupid, pausing as Joy stirs her he lifts her up and stands and begins bouncing up and down again, trying not to feel like an idiot "Uncle Damon is an idiot."

"Did you just tell that kid I'm uncle Damon...Stefan, I swear—"

Stefan rolls his eyes before taking his focus off of the adorable little girl back to his stupid older brother "Damon if she finds out your still looking for it she'll rip your head off and bolt."

Damon winces at the thought of Buffy ripping his head clean off, he knew he had to be careful here "What I'm hoping is that she's going to be so wasted on booze and power that she won't even think about it."

"Damon, she is the most powerful creature on the planet. And now with no humanity and blocking out memories of her daughter she is ruthless. Her family is gone. Jeremy is dead, Elena is in a mystical banshee coma that she may never wake up from. She has nothing left. The cure is the fastest way to get her back. And back with Joy."

Damon sighs and turns around only to spot her making him freeze slightly, there she was walking through the street, her honey blonde hair now filled with dark pink highlights while dark eye make surrounded her. Her pink ends falling past her shoulder where her barely-there halter top was drawing his attention and the attention of a lot of guys she was walking past.

He had to admit. For a woman who gave birth like two weeks ago, she was still the hottest thing he ever laid eyes on "Let me handle Buffy. You keep Joy save from Silas."

With that, he hangs up the phone and turns to Buffy who takes her hands out of her leather jacket and smirks "You like."

Damon smirks "Love."

"Hi, Joy Joy." Caroline says joyfully as she walks into the living room and away from Klaus who was pissing her the hell off now. Taking the cute little girl off Stefan she smiles at her "Aw your so cute! As long as you don't go crazy like your mama aunt Caroline will treat you like a princess." Pausing as she holds Joy she adjusts the adorable little girl in her arms before turning to Stefan "Why is he here?" She hisses pointing at Klaus still pissed that because of him the man she loved was gone and had even signed over the lease of his house to Matt. He was gone probably for good now.

"I actually asked him to be here." Stefan huffs while Caroline's eyes fill with fury.

Klaus clenches his jaw before watching Caroline "Please remove her hands from my child Stefan before I remove her hands myself."

Caroline huffs and her eyes widen as the adorable little girl was taken from her hands and Stefan takes her bouncing her up and down trying to keep her calm despite the fact he knew he looked so stupid right now.

Placing Joy so her head was resting on his shoulder while she continued to stuff her stuffed pig in her mouth Stefan sighs "We need his help. I think Silas is in Mystic Falls. And as we all know...Silas wants Joy." He reminds Klaus before placing the baby in the playpen on the floor so he could focus on his conversation and not her hitting him in the face with her hands...repeatedly.

Klaus clenches his jaw as he pours himself a drink before glancing at his daughter who was currently laid down playing with her stuffed pig while Caroline sat beside her keeping an eye on her. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of Joy with the stuffed pig. She had a bigger one but this smaller one was her mothers and she couldn't sleep without it now. Honestly, when he had put her to sleep last night without it she had screamed bloody murder. She really did have his vicious side.

But right now he was worried, if Silas was here then Joy was in more danger then ever, he needed to believe that it wasn't true "So what if blood is missing from a few hospitals. There are a lot of vampires in Virginia Stefan."

"It's not any other vampire." Stefan argues crossing his arms as he watches Klaus take a drink of bourbon.
At Stefan's argument, Klaus shrugs "Well, let's say for a moment that it was Silas. Then Joy and I are on the first plane out of town and you can all fend for yourselves."

Stefan groans in annoyance "Look. Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love but he's supernatural, so if he takes the cure and dies he gets stuck on the other side."
"How Shakespearean." Klaus says with a chuckle as he picks up his daughter and moves to sit on the couch.

Stefan walks over trying to get Klaus to see how this affected him too "But if he destroys the other side altogether, he can take the cure, die, and pass on, but in destroying it every dead supernatural being will return to our side."

Caroline who picks up Joy's pig and hands it to her turns to Klaus explaining this to him simply "That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire. I wonder how many of those you personally killed. Care yet?"

Stefan sighs before gesturing to the little girl currently playing in her father's arms so innocent, having no understanding of how much danger she was in because of who her father was "You have a weakness now Klaus. Even if Silas finds another way to destroy the other side without Joy. The minute the veil is down. Everyone you've ever killed will come for her."

Klaus clenches his jaw before glancing down at his daughter in worry, the little girl merely looks up at him and giggles loudly making him smile for a moment before he groans and turns back to Stefan "How do we stop him?"

"Bonnie said Silas needs to complete 3 massacres to this spell. Joy would be the 4th." Stefan explains "Before professor Shane died, he convinced the pastor to blow up the council. Next, he had you kill your hybrids. And now he only needs one more massacre, so if he's here, that's what's doing. We need to find him."

"Looks about right." Damon says as he walks into Billy's, it looked just like it had in the '70s, literally nothing had changed.
Buffy frowns as she walks into the bar playing with her new pink her, this place was gross and that was saying something considering she had seen the Bronze through coach-roach parties.

"Gross and empty. Great. Feeling the fun-ness already." She mumbles sarcastically before crossing her arms and turning to Damon "Come seriously."
"Fun waits for the sun to go down." He reminds her "Now go easy judgy. Not everybody got a hot new haircut today." At his words, Buffy smiles and plays with her hair "Okay fine. No with the judgy. But still with the bored. I wanna have fun."

"And we will." Damon promises as he walks over to her and throws an arm over her shoulder "Just imagine it. In a few hours this place will be crawling with more punked out nihilists then you can eat in a decade. Trust me."
Buffy grins slightly before her eyes land on the band setting "Can we torture the band?"

Damon chuckles and shakes his head in amusement, honestly no emotion Buffy was exactly like him back in the 70's, they would have had so much fun together.

"Hell yeah. I did that back in the seventies when Zeppelin was here for a night. Pretty sure Jimmy Page still has nightmares about me."
Buffy giggles softly before looking around curiously, out of all the places he could have chosen back in the 70's why here? It just didn't look like much to her "So why here?"

"Well, Billy's...Billy's was the underground of the underground."

Buffy lets out a small breath as Damon finishes telling her what would probably be one of many 70's tails tonight, she couldn't help but sit there in shock "Lexi went Lexi on you." She says before frowning "You're about to get slapped so hard."
Damon frowns in confusion and opens his mouth only to grunt as his face suddenly hits the table and holding him there was Rebekah, Buffy smiles over at the Original "Hey Beks."
"Hey Buffy. Thanks for the call."

"No problem." Buffy says with a smirk before turning to Damon whose eyes widen, okay maybe she wasn't as blind as he thought. Cause clearly she knew he was up to something and invited back up.

"Following a lead without me?" Rebekah asks curiously still holding Damon's head to the table "Poor form, Damon."
Buffy smirks over at the other blonde who smiles at her as she takes in Buffy's new style "Love the hair."
"Thanks nice salon, you would love!"

Leaning over Buffy smiles down at Damon who really needed to stop underestimating her "So you see Damon. I talked to Beks the other day after she visited Joy. She mentioned that you had been looking for Katherine and then killed the vampire that worked for her. Then suddenly you're feeling nostalgic for New York and an old buddy."

As Rebekah finally releases Damon allowing the vampire to stand "So what is the lead?"

"Yeah, Damon." Buffy adds glaring at him, he better be careful with his words cause she had no problem ripping out his heart to get what she wanted and that was the cure as far away from her as humanly possible.
Damon sighs and tries to think quick "Look I told Stefan I was looking for a lead but I was lying. Buffy come on like you said I like you this way and I told Stefan what he wants to hear. I want Buffy to have fun and where better than here, where I had my humanity off."

"Wow. She's sounds dreadful." Rebekah huffs after Damon had again let another old Lexi memory known to the two women.

Damon merely shrugs remembering back to his time in the '70s with Lexi "She had a mother Teresa Complex."

Buffy couldn't help but roll her eyes as it clicked, the whole reason they were here was not to have fun and party and sex, it was all about getting her bloody emotions back, well thanks but no thanks "So let me guess. Lexi did something you're gonna do it to me then epto factor emotional Buffy. Whoopee Yeah no. Damon if you're trying to get my emotions back I will KILL you and that wasn't exactly what I was intending to do to you on this trip."

Damon's eyes widen in panic before he frowns as the last words Buffy had said hits him "What are you planning to do to me?" He asks getting a little excited.
Buffy smirks and bites her lip slightly "Get me drunk and I'll show you. Several times."

"Yes ma'am." Damon mumbles before heading to the bar, once his back was turned Buffy's smile falls and she glares at his annoyingly good backside, why did he have to have such a nice ass?
Rebekah walks over to the pink-haired Slayer "You got a plan?"
"Oh yeah." Buffy grins before turning to face her friend "That's why I called you. He's after the cure. I'm not stupid. I actually score really high on my SATs so it was proven. Anyway...you and I are gonna find it first."

Rebekah couldn't help but chuckle at the blonde words, while she liked normal Buffy she had no problem with this one either, they were both pretty good "You're playing him."
"The second I kissed him it was like taking candy from a baby. He thinks he's playing me. But he's got it the wrong way around."

Pausing she moves to head back to Damon who was sat at the bar with two shots and a bottle of whiskey however something inside of her makes her stop "How is she?" She asks suddenly making Rebekah frown "Who?"

Buffy closes her eyes tightly before groaning "My daughter...Joy...how is she?"

Rebekah couldn't help but smile, as fun as she was sure emotionless Buffy was it was easy to see that Buffy's switch was struggling to stay off, especially when it came to Joy "She's beautiful. Obsessed with that annoying stuffed Pig. Nik can't get her to sleep without the bloody thing."

"Mr. Gordo." Buffy breaths before gulping burying her emotions again. She really needed to stop thinking about her damn kid, how Isabel had done this so easily she had no idea "Alive was all I needed." Buffy hisses before walking over to Damon and whispering in his ear making him smirk before handing over her shot.

Like she had said...it was like taking candy from a baby.

"If Caroline so much as makes my daughter cry I will rip her head from her body." Klaus tells Stefan as the two break into Professor Shane's office at Whitmore while Caroline had taken Joy to Tyler's...well actually Matt's now, where no vampire could get in.

"Caroline is obsessed with Joy. Who do you think spent ages planning Buffy's baby shower? She'll be fine." Stefan says in annoyance, he had to admit though, it was weird seeing Klaus as this over-protective father. It was a look he had never expected to see on the hybrid. Honestly, he couldn't help but feel for any boys when Joy was a teenager.

"What exactly are we looking for?" Klaus asks as they begin searching.
"Anything that links Silas and Shane and maybe gives us a clue to the 3rd Massacre."

Klaus nods before he frowns as he finds an old book on one of the shelves "Do you think Damon is relishing in dear sweet Buffy's emotionless company in New York. If so...I'll kill your brother when he returns if I find out he touched her."

"You're not good at hiding jealousy are you?" Stefan groans in annoyance, but he couldn't help but agree if he found out anything and happened with Buffy and Damon while she's in this state he would probably kill his brother too.

"Alas...you're not too good at it either." Klaus points out as he places the book on the table and clears the dust off it "Don't underestimate the allure of darkness, Stefan. How do you think Joy was conceived."

At Klaus' words, Stefan clenches his fists "One more word and I'm leaving."

Klaus chuckles before opening the book his eyes widening as he spots two familiar words, he had seen them in a book of Marianna's when she had learned Expression, though she hated calling it that, but alas that's what it had been, it's why she had always been so powerful "I believe I have found what we need."

"Are we breaking every one of Lexi's rules tonight?" Buffy asks with a chuckle as Damon places a tray of shots on the table for him Rebekah and Buffy. Now that the bar was filled with people they could finally have some fun.
Damon chuckles before shaking his head at the blonde "Lexi thought the only way I would turn my emotions back on was if I started enjoying my life again."

As the three of them cheers, Rebekah turns curiously "Do not tell me she took you to Bon Jovi concerts, too."
"No. Wrong decade."
"Way off." Buffy agrees laughing before she downs her shot and shakes her head before grabbing another one when Damon arches an eyebrow she laughs "Five months of pregnancy means no alcohol. I haven't had booze since October!"

Damon smirks before smiling "So Lexi was not allowed to feed with Stefan. I didn't have that problem. And since you don't drink blood. Neither do you." He says before holding his hand out towards Buffy who smiles before shaking her head in amusement "Why not?" She jokes before taking his hand allowing him to lead her to the dance floor.

"Rebekah come on!" Buffy chuckles grabbing Rebekah's hand before the three of them dance around the floor listening to the sound of the band going crazy on stage.

As she dances the pink-haired Slayer frowns "I need pain." She breaths before she spots a blonde in the crowd "I'll be back." She whispers making Damon smirk, smirking back she winks at him before grabbing the girl "Don't scream." She compels her she grabs the girl's hand shattering every bond in her body making her gasp as Rebekah grabs her by the throat and bites down.

"Did he do it?" Rebekah whispers pulling her head back from the blonde's bleeding neck, Buffy frowns before glancing around the crowd and sure enough, he was gone. She needed to find out exactly what he came here for and what he had to do with Katherine and the cure.

"Five minutes. Then come get me. Because maybe fun for him but not so much for me."

Rebekah chuckles before her and Buffy leave the girl and head to the bar ordering a round quickly, Damon wasn't that bright he needed time to find what he was looking for.
"What do you think it is?" Rebekah asks curiously.

Buffy shrugs, honestly she wasn't too sure, but she knew it had to do with Katherine taking the cure "Don't know yet. I'll figure it out when I take it, but I want to play with him a little more."
"This demon side of yours really does get off on pain and torture."
"Emotional torture is the best." She smirks before she and Rebekah clink their shots together and down them in one go.

Stefan frowns as he watches Klaus draw the expression triangle on the map as they tried to work out exactly where the final sacrifice before Joy's would be.
"There are two places where the third massacre could be." Klaus realizes as Stefan hangs up his phone, "I spoke to Bonnie's dad I think I found Silas."

Klaus frowns in confusion before he clenches his jaw "Who?"
"Shane."

Groaning he rips the map in half throwing one side to Stefan, they needed to go now, if they didn't stop this sacrifice who knows how long it would be until Silas came for Joy to finish destroying the other side.

"So Silas is appearing as Professor Shane." Damon breaths in shock as he balances his phone against his ear while he digs through box after box in Will's old office in search of what he hoped was a file for one Katherine Pierce. "Wouldn't be my first choice." And it wouldn't be, if Silas could look like anymore, why not be someone cool, or remotely more likable.

"Well, it would be if you needed to brainwash Bonnie into committing a massacre." Stefan points out.
Damon sighs "You need me to come home?"
"No, we got it. But Damon...if we fail...Silas will come for Joy. We're gonna need Buffy back on our side to protect her. Please tell me you've gotten closer to getting the cure."

Damon groans in annoyance as he closes yet another file, he knew how important this was and now they were out of time and Joy's little life was on the line "No not yet. Buffy just wants to torture everyone and Rebekah trailed us here and the two are all Bonnie and Clyde. I don't like it. Me and Buffy are Bonnie and Clyde."

"Yeah, I get it your friendship is unbreakable." Stefan says sarcastically making Damon wince, okay maybe never telling Stefan about what had actually been going on with him and anti emotional but so turned on by torture Buffy would be for the best. Would probably cause more fights then they had time for.
As he walks over to another box he couldn't help but huff "In addition to my buddy being a brilliant identity thief, he's also a hoarder."
"What are you trying to find?"

"Will had a repeat customer 5'4 raven-haired girl said she was a runner. And often when he got that order there was a 5,7 brunette in the mix too."

"Mary."

Damon smirks, ding, ding "And where there is Mary, Katherine is never far behind. The two are sister lover whatever is going on there. Kind of hoping lovers."
"Damon focus." Stefan hisses in annoyance, now was not the time for Damon's perverted girl and girl fantasy of Katherine and Mary.
Damon sighs "Turns out I was helping Mary run from me. Ironic." He admits before sighing "Problem is that his filing system goes by birth date, but I can't for the life of me remember Mary's or Katherine's."

Stefan pauses for a moment before sighing "Mary... December 3rd 990. Katherine's was June 5, 1473."
Damon couldn't help but whistle, damn Mary was freaking old, sighing he smirks "And that, brother is why you are the better boyfriend."

Pausing Damon searches through the files of Katherine's birthday first but nothing however he does spot something "Geez. Little witch was probably Will's first client." He breaths spotting the biggest file in the box. Before sighing, "Mary M. Prince." He whispers before chuckle "Would you look at that..." He breaths as there on the first page was lists of all of her former addresses, with KP and MP written next to both, looks like the two of them were traveling together again "It's all of their former addresses, including a couple from the last two months. I mean they're mostly PO boxes. But hey it narrows the search."

Suddenly Damon pauses as he hears the door open and Buffy sneaks in shutting the door behind her, "Hey...was looking for you?"
"Yeah?" Damon chuckles sneaking the list into his back pocket before smiling about the blonde "What about?"

Buffy smirks and locks the door before peeling her jacket off and stepping towards him, Damon's eyes widen and he couldn't help but hate the fact that he was a better man now. Hanging up on his brother quickly he opens his mouth to say they should head back to see the bar only to freeze as Buffy kisses him with so much passion that he lost himself in it.

She pushes him up against the wall and peels off his jacket and Damon got lost in the feel of her, but hey after 6 years of dreaming of being with her, it was hard to resist, as she pulls at his shirt he kisses down her neck only for the door to suddenly slam open and Rebekah to step in "Buffy!" She yells "Hello, shots are waiting."

Buffy pulls back from Damon before smiling "Coming." She chuckles before Damon huffs honestly he was thankful for Rebekah right now, sighing he grabs his jacket and kisses the pink-haired Slayer's forehead before grabbing his jacket as she moves to follow the blonde picks up the file she had knocked the floor and there it was as bright as day. Mary Prince. And Katherine Pierce.

Shaking her head in amusement she frowns, if Damon left the file then that meant he had what he needed already and there was no way in hell she was letting him get to the cure before she did.

"Lexi stuck with me for months. Partying with me, showing me a good time, but late every night she'd torture me in the worst possible way."
Buffy frowns in confusion as she pours her and Damon another drink from the bottle the bartender had given them before it clicks "Mary."
Damon groans at the memory "She would ask about her. What she looked like...well at that point. And how I felt about her."
Buffy groans at that before huffing "Gross."

"Oh yeah." Damon says in amusement before he smirks "But I may have done something a little mean."
Buffy arches a brow in confusion before downing her drink and looking at him with her big doe eyes "Gossip spill."

Damon merely glances at the bar before smirking and wiggling his eyebrows. Buffy frowns before it clicks and she couldn't help but laugh loudly "Oh my god!" She laughs "Lexi touched you?! Willingly."

"Hey!" Damon exclaims before rolling his eyes, why did Buffy always have to freaking torture and take the piss out of him. To be fair though their entire friendship formed over torturing each other.
Buffy shakes her head in amusement before looking at the bar "You tainted the bar."
"Not just the bar." Damon teases "The stage and the roof too. It was a very long night."

Buffy watches him for a moment before she spots Rebekah watching them, leaning forward she kisses Damon winking at Rebekah as she does. As she pulls back Damon watches her in confusion for a moment before he frowns as Buffy grabs their bottle and walks off.

"Where are you going?"

"The roof." She says simply "I wanna hear the rest of the story."

Stefan's eyes widen as he spots Bonnie in the middle of a witch circle with 12 witches performing what looked like an exorcism on her. Trying to rid her of expression.

Which meant Klaus was at the wrong spot so it was up to him, running over he turns to the witch currently holding down the screaming Bonnie "Stop it! He yells speeding into the middle of the circle "It's not what you think."

The witch turns and glares at Stefan in anger not moving her hands from Bonnie "This is no place for a vampire."

"She's working for Silas." Stefan tells her making the witches eyes widen in horror "Silas."

Stefan nods know that she was listening he could stop all of this and then Joy and the rest of them would be safe "He brainwashed her to kill you."

As Bonnie whimpers in agony blood dripping from her nose the witch pulls out a blade making Stefan's eyes widen in panic, this wasn't what was supposed to be happening "Wait. What are you doing?"

The witch sighs before glancing back at Stefan "If Silas has her, she's lost. We can't save her."

Stefan fills with panic and tries to run towards Bonnie to get her out of here and save but the witch raises her hand and pain quickly fills his head causing him to fall to his knees as he cries in agony.

"I have the power of 12 witches." The witch hisses "You don't stand a chance."

Stefan groans in agony, he needed to find another way, speeding away he goes as far as he can till the pain had stopped.

Grunting for a moment Stefan sighs in relief as he spots Klaus come over "They're linked. Bonnie's gonna kill them."

Klaus pauses for a moment before glancing over at the ritual happening, this was good if Bonnie was dead then it was over, Silas needed her, without her there was nothing he could do.

"Not if the witches kill her first." Grabbing Stefan he pins him to a tree stopping him from doing something stupid, Bonnie needed to die it was the only way, if it was Bonnie's life or Joy's then he would happily kill the witch himself.
"The only way to save Bonnie is to kill them, and then Silas gets what he wants. If she dies my daughter is safe. Joy is save!"

Stefan's eyes widen at that and he freezes, this was Joy, Buffy's daughter and he cared about Joy and didn't want anything to happen to her. However, before he could even think Caroline appears and screams "No!" She yells before speeding into the middle of the witch's circle and grabbing the dagger stabbing it into the heart of the witch about to kill Bonnie.

Klaus's eyes widen in panic as all 12 witches collapse "No!" He howls in fury before speeding over and grabbing Caroline by the throat "You just signed my daughter's death sentence."

"Klaus stop!" Stefan yells as he shoves Klaus off Caroline who collapses to the ground coughing heavily.
Klaus glares down at them both before turning to Caroline "Where is Joy?"
"With Matt..." She coughs out "She's fine."

And with that Klaus speeds off leaving Stefan and Caroline alone with Bonnie as well as the bodies of 12 dead rituals. It was over, they failed. And now they were totally screwed. The triangle was complete.

"Okay I so need to travel more." Buffy says happily as she walks out onto the roof staring out at the city in amazement, she just felt so free here. She felt young again. Like she could spend decades here partying away and living the life she always wanted.

"Screw stars. They aren't that great anyway." She jokes looking up at the sky, while back home you could see thousands of stars here you couldn't see even one. But it just made the city feel more alive.

Damon smiles as he watches the blonde spin around her pink and blonde hair moving with her as she spins. It was almost perfect. If it wasn't for the obvious no emotion thing.
As she stops spinning the blonde turns to face him and smiles "I could see it you know. I know you guys are gonna force me to turn it back on eventually, maybe having a blast though could work a lot better."

"You'd be willing to turn it back on?" He asks curiously while the blonde rolls her eyes "Not all of it. But aspects over time. I'm good with no grief but...enough to be around Joy again."

Damon pauses at that and watches her carefully, as much as he wanted to believe her, he could see this darkness in her eyes, he was missing something here.

Buffy watches him for a moment before stepping closer to him bringing the bottle to her lips "But I like this..." She whispers looking into his stunning blue eyes "... traveling having fun. Spending time with you." Leaning forward Damon clenches his jaw trying to resist her but it was so hard, he had spent almost 7 years completely in love with this girl and here she was offering everything he had ever dreamed of on a plate. All he had to do was take it.

And for a moment he did.

As she leans up to kiss him again he kisses her wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her closer as her hands weave through his hair.

He was getting lost in the feel of her again, that was until he felt her hand reach into his back pocket and that's when it clicks. She was playing him. She had been playing him the entire time. The kiss in Mystic Falls, convincing him to take her away.

Playing all sweet with him...it was all a game to her. This wasn't the Buffy he loved. He didn't know this Buffy.

Pulling away from her Buffy rolls her eyes and crosses her arms "Where is it?"

Damon scoffs, he could see she was giving up the charade now, yanking the list out of his jacket he smirks "You mean this? You really think that was gonna work? The sex, the temptation, the booze? What are you kidding me? I invented that."

Buffy scoffs before jumping up and sitting on the edge of the roof and leaning down to look at him "I was enjoying it a little. But no you had to go and ruin it. Damon if you remember, you've told me what happened with you and Lexi before. We were really drunk to be fair. You told me all about how you played her. Bla bla bla. God you're chatty when you're wasted"

Damon scoffs before staring at her "Buffy this isn't you."

"You don't know me baby." She whispers watching him before moving to stand in front of him again "Did I hurt your feelings?" She teases running a hand up and down his chest "Because I gave you a taste."
Damon scoffs before shoving her hand off him "Buff I'm trying to look out for you. Because one day, you will flip that switch back on. And all the bad stuff you did...to those cheerleaders, to Liz, to Stefan to me...to abandoning your daughter, is gonna come back and it is going to suck."

Buffy merely shrugs "You know the best way to avoid all that?" She asks circling him just as she spots Rebekah move onto the roof, it was time to end this little game "To get rid of you all." Damon's eyes widen and he spins around only to have Buffy snap his neck.

"Nice." Rebekah breaths walking over as Buffy crouches down by Damon's body and takes the list smirking down at him "I don't need any of you. Once the cure is gone. I'm taking my daughter...and I'll kill the rest of you. Out of sight out of mind." She hisses to him before standing and tossing Rebekah Damon's car keys "Ready for a road trip?"

Stefan sits patiently by Bonnie's bed waiting for her to wake, honestly, he had no idea what to say to her, she was listening to Silas, there probably wasn't anything he could say to talk her out of helping him.

Suddenly Bonnie groans as she comes back to consciousness before her eyes widen in confusion, how did she end up in her room "How'd I get here?" She breaths in confusion.
Stefan frowns in confusion as he turns to face her "What do you mean? I—I brought you home. The witches almost killed you."
Bonnie frowns, non of this was making any sense, what the hell was Stefan talking about "What witches?"

"You don't remember?" When Bonnie merely shakes her head Stefan sighs, they had messed up her memory, "Whatever the witches did must have messed with your memory."
"How did I get off the island?" She asks him making him freeze and panic, this wasn't good he was starting to think she had forgotten more than just a couple of hours.

"Wait. Bonnie...what's the last thing you remember?"

Bonnie frowns for a moment digging through her brain trying to remember back to what had happened "I guess I remember being in that cave, and Jeremy was trying to pry the cure out of Silas' hand."

Stefan's eyes widen, she had no idea that Jeremy was dead "Bonnie's there's something you need to know about Jeremy."

Klaus sighs as he stands outside of the old Lockwood house now unable to enter as he waits for the human to bring him his daughter.

Sighing in relief he smiles as he spots Matt walk out with Joy in his arms "She's okay. She's actually pretty cool despite being your daughter." Klaus clenches his jaw and moves to take his daughter only to freeze as a cold shiver goes down his spine.

"Wait." He tells Matt making Matt hold onto the still sleeping Joy before his eyes widen as stood behind Klaus on the porch...was Shane, or at least someone wearing Shane's face.

Klaus turns and panic fills him, turning to Matt he groans "Take her and run." He mouths making Matt panic before nodding and quickly locking the front door before heading out the back to his car. He had to get Joy somewhere safe.

"Thank you." Silas breaths as he smiles at the hybrid "Of the 3 massacres the witches was the one I was dreading."
Klaus clenches his jaw "Silas. I presume."

Damon groans as the sun rising causes him to finally wake, turning over his eyes widen, he was still on the roof, and the list was gone. Dammit, Buffy and Rebekah had played him. And too easily for his liking.

Grabbing his phone he dials Buffy's phone "Hey Dame." Buffy says cheerfully through the phone "I hope you woke up on the right side of the roof."
Damon groans in annoyance "Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

Buffy groans as she stares down at the list in her hands "Me and Beks are having a little road-trip. Hey you don't mind if we eat in your car do you?"
"You're in my car?!"

Buffy rolls her eyes, he could be such a drama queen sometimes, he really needed to get some of that stress out of his system "Well duh, you think I'm walking in these shoes. These are my favorite shoes Damon. They are too pretty to be walked in. Plus you really expect too blonde bombshells to take the bus?"

Shaking her head in amusement she and Rebekah climb into the car Rebekah plugging her phone into the stereo system while Buffy puts the keys in the ignition "Hey Dame sorry this friendship has to come to an end. But you know...we all grow. But if you excuse us...I'm about to destroy your car on the road. You really should have joined the dark side Damon...see ya."

And with that Buffy hangs up while Rebekah plays the music to the song "I'm a Bitch" loudly through the stereo as take off down the roads of New York.

"What did she do Damon?" Stefan hisses as he walks into the parlor room after finally leaving Bonnie's, it had been a long talk, between telling Bonnie about what happened to Jeremy and Elena to the baby being born and Buffy joining the dark side.

"Let's just say it involves a five foot four blonde slash pink-haired demon and her very blonde accomplice."

Stefan's eyes widen, great this day was just getting better and better to the point where he was walking straight to the whiskey "Please don't tell me this is going where I think it is."

"Wrong fantasy, brother. Buffy played me. Her demon side doesn't just get off on physical torture. Emotional too." He huffs making Stefan frown, what the hell had Buffy done to him however before he could finish Damon continue his next words making Stefan groan in panic "Buffy took my lead on Katherine and Mary. If you're searching for the words to tell me how badly I screwed up. Save your breath."

Stefan sighs before downing his drink, for once he had screwed up more than Damon "I didn't stop the massacre.

There is a moment of silence on Damon's end before he sighs "Guess Silas had everything he needs."

Stefan takes a shaky breath "Everything but the cure...and Joy."

Sighing Stefan pours himself another drink just as the front door slams open and Stefan panics "Damon I gotta go." Hanging up Stefan speeds over to the doorway where his eyes widen as there holding Joy's bag and the little girl herself who was perfectly happy with her pacifier in her mouth as she played with her stuffed pig in her car seat.

Matt turns to Stefan as he locks the door "Silas came to the house. Klaus is distracting him. He told me to take Joy and run."

Stefan groans in panic before walking over and picking up Joy bouncing her softly in his arms, it was official she wasn't safe. Silas was coming for her and it was up to them to keep her safe.

Klaus glares over at Silas still in Shane's form as they standoff in the Lockwood gardens, Silas merely smiles "Where's the cure?"

"I'm sorry mate." Klaus shrugs tapping his pockets hoping that the human had managed to get Joy somewhere safe and far away from Silas "Don't have it."

Silas watches him for a moment before smirking "But you know who does, and the last thing that you want is for that cure to be used on you or the mother of your child. So you bring it to me and it won't be."

When Klaus stays silent Silas whistles "Ah you're worried about your daughter. Joy right? I'll make you a deal bring me the cure. And I'll take a different route. There are other ways to lower the barrier. Bring it to me and I'll spare that little girl."
Klaus couldn't help but scoff, he didn't trust a word out of the immortal's mouth "So my daughter lives and only to get hunted by all of my dead supernatural enemies from the other side. You know you don't scare me Silas, or, Shane, or whoever you are."

Silas smirks slightly, Klaus was easy enough to see through, there were very few things that scared him, losing his daughter was one of them but there was another "I'll spare your daughter but as an incentive..." Pausing he pulls out the white oak stake making Klaus' eyes widen in panic "Now where did you get that?"

"Well, let's just say your sister's mind is a little easier to read than yours. So do we have a deal?"

Klaus panics and speeds at Silas only to scream in agony as suddenly he finds the stake buried in his spine Silas shoving it closer and closer to his head "I'm not trying to kill you, not just yet."

Pausing Silas snaps the stake leaving half inside of Klaus' spine which was getting closer and closer to his heart "Just a little something to remember me by. Get me the cure. And your daughter lives." And with that Silas leaves while Klaus groans in agony trying to reach for the white oak piece currently moving towards his heart.
