Jenna sat on the ground, clutching her head.

"Oh, my head," she moaned. "What's wrong with me?"

"Do you remember what happened?" Elena asked.

"You called me after I thought you left with Ric. You were so scared. I should've realized 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." She looked around. "Where are we? What happened?"

Elena took Jenna's hands in her own. "We're at the quarry. He brought us here."

"Why don't I remember anything?"

"Jenna, do you remember when I told you how someone becomes a vampire?"

Jenna nodded. "Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it…" She trailed off and realization started to dawn on her. "Oh, god, he killed me."

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

Jenna wasn't paying attention. "I'm a vampire?"

"Not yet," Elowen finally spoke. "You need to drink human blood to complete the transition."

"And if I don't?"

"You die."

"I bet you're hungry," Greta said as she walked towards them. Elena glanced down at the sharp rock that was nearby, tried to make a grab for it, but was flung backwards by Greta. She waved her hand and created a circle of fire around Elena. Elowen barely had time to scramble out of its way.

"Don't bother trying to get through," Greta told Elena and Jenna. "I spelled the circle. You're trapped, no matter what you do."

"Greta, please, just- just let her go," Elena begged. Greta ignored her, picked up the sharp rock Elena had dove for and sliced her wrist open. The smell must've been enough for Jenna, because she eyed it hungrily.

"Klaus chose her."

"No."

Greta lowered her wrist towards Jenna. "Drink it."

"Jenna, don't!"

"I can't," Jenna mumbled as she stared at Greta's wrist.

"Let her go!" Elena cried.

Jenna stared at Greta's wrist for a moment longer before finally sinking her teeth in. She closed her eyes in ecstasy as the taste of blood flooded into her mouth. Greta yanked her wrist away after a short while and let Jenna fall to the ground. Then, with another flick of her wrist, a ring of fire circled Jenna. Elowen stepped farther back and away from it.

"Why not trap me, too?" She asked in confusion.

"Klaus said you wouldn't try to run, and if you did try, I have permission to subdue you," Greta explained.

She walked away and as she did, Jenna grabbed onto her head and screamed.

"God, my head feels like it's splitting open. It's… Damon. He… he hurt me. Used me. Abused me. I remember now." She looked at Elowen. "How could you let him? How can you be with him after what he did to me? How?"

Elowen shook her head. "He's not that person anymore, Jenna. He's not."

"Hey, look at me," Elena said to Jenna. "Don't think about that right now. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay."

Jenna looked back at Elena and slowly shook her head. "No. No it's not."

Jeremy and Bonnie had grimoires surrounding them as they sat in the basement of the witch house. They were still trying to find ways to save Elena despite Elijah having the elixir. Jeremy furrowed his eyes as he found a specific entry.

"Listen to this. 'If a witch dies a painful, excruciating, unjust death, sometimes his or her soul cannot be put to rest. It will continue to search for a host to latch onto until it can live again, in the shape or form of its former life'. Didn't Damon say he thought Elowen was Marisol reborn?"

Bonnie looked over Jeremy's shoulder. "Yeah…" She grabbed onto the grimoire to get a closer look. "Yeah, he did." She read the rest of the page and her eyes slowly widened. "'Once the soul(s) finds a host, it will begin to take over its body until they are one with their past selves'. That explains why Marisol has been appearing. Elowen is becoming Marisol." She started flipping through the pages. "There has to be a way to stop that from happening."

"Hey, hey," Jeremy gently muttered into Bonnie's ear. "We'll find something. Right now, our focus is on Elena, okay? We'll come back to this, I promise."

Bonnie stopped thumbing through the grimoire and nodded. "Okay. Okay. Let's keep looking."

xxxx

"How are you feeling?" Elena asked Jenna. She was pacing around her circle of fire. Jenna was sitting down in hers.

"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."

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

Jenna's eyes filled with unshed tears. "I'm gonna die, aren't I?"

"No! Jenna, I'm not going to let that happen. I don't care what I have to do."

In the distance, there was the sound of twigs snapping, followed by somebody groaning in pain.

"Who's that?" Jenna asked.

"It must be the werewolf," Elowen replied. "Klaus didn't try to take Toby when he came to get us, so he must've found someone else."

Greta came into view with Jules. She pushed her down to the ground, next to Elena and Jenna.

"What's happening to me?" Jules asked through the pain.

"I cast a spell to slow down your transformation," Greta informed her. "Your insides are trying to tear themselves free." She waved her hand and yet another circle of fire closed around Jules.

"Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance of nature," Elena told her. "It's your duty to them to keep this curse sealed."

"My duty is to Klaus! The new order."

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner," came Klaus's voice as he arrived at the scene. Elowen immediately went to him.

"I can get you a replacement vampire," she blurted quickly. "If you just let me find him, I can get him to you before the night is up."

Klaus chuckled. "Aw, look at you, trying to play the hero. Sorry, love. The ritual will go on as planned."

Any sign of begging or pleading left Elowen's eyes as her hand darted out to tightly grasp Klaus's arm. "I'm not taking no for an answer."

Klaus looked amused. "Oh? And who might this replacement vampire be?"

"My father."

Klaus quirked an eyebrow. "You're willing to just hand your own father over to die? I didn't peg you the type."

"You'd kill your father the first chance you got, wouldn't you?" Elowen challenged, causing Klaus's face to drop into a deadly scowl.

"Watch it, love. You're treading on thin ice."

"Let me find him."

"And if I say no?"

Behind her, Greta started choking. She grabbed onto her neck with both hands and fell to her knees. Klaus looked back at her and flared his nostrils in anger.

"Stop it," he demanded, but Elowen didn't let up. Her nose started to bleed for tapping into the dead witch's power, but she didn't care. She needed to get her point across. Greta began foaming at the mouth and blood gurgled down her chin as she continued to gasp for air.

"I said stop it!" Klaus bellowed, but Elowen didn't do as he asked. Greta finally fell face first into the ground, dead. She had been bleeding from her eyes and ears and an unknown fluid was mixing in with the blood from her mouth. It was a possibility that it was her stomach acid.

When it was all said and done, Elowen wiped her nose with the back of her hand. "You're a witch down, Klaus. Who's going to do the ritual now?"

Klaus's hand shot out and grabbed onto Elowen's throat. Instead of struggling, she smirked. She had him just where she wanted.

"You wouldn't kill me, now, would you?" She wheezed out. "I'm the only one left to do the sacrifice."

Klaus released her instantly upon hearing this. Maddox was dead, Greta was dead, which meant that without Elowen, he'd have to wait another month to find someone to do the stupid spell. He clenched his jaw. Elowen coughed slightly, but kept her front up.

"I'll only do it under one condition. Let me find my father. Use him in place of Jenna. If not, you can kiss the ritual goodbye."

Klaus glared down at her for a moment. "You have one hour. If you're not back before the time is up, heads will roll. Do you understand me?"

Elowen nodded, then walked passed Klaus and towards the way of the boarding house. It was much closer than her place, and she knew she'd reach it faster if she called Stefan, except something told her to call Damon, so she did. She wasn't sure he'd even answer after their fight earlier in the morning, so she was surprised when the line went through.

"Wen? Where are you?" He asked quickly. "Stefan told me Klaus took you, too."

"I'm at the quarry. I need you to come get me and fast. I've bought Jenna some time, but I've only got an hour."

"I'm on my way."

xxxx

Elowen burst through the door of the boarding house, followed closely by Damon. She barely acknowledged that John was there and went into the library.

"Find me a map of Mystic Falls," she demanded. "Now."

Damon rushed past her towards the shelf that had maps on it and quickly grabbed the one of Mystic Falls. He spread it out on the table while Elowen picked up a letter opener that was setting on another table. He watched her with furrowed eyebrows as she stabbed herself in the hand and let her blood fall onto the map.

"What are you doing?" He asked in confusion.

"A locator spell," Elowen replied. "Be quiet."

Damon did as he was told as she started to mutter a spell under her breath. Slowly, her drops of blood started to move across the map until it came to a stop. She looked down at the location and then started heading back for the door. Damon went after her.

"I'm coming with you."

Elowen shook her head. "No. This is something I need to do by myself. Go meet up with Stefan. Take John with you."

Damon nodded, deciding not to fight with her now that more than just Elena's life was at stake.

"Wait," he stopped her before she could leave. "You need a car." He swiftly grabbed his car keys from the table and tossed them to her. She caught them easily with one hand and continued on her way. He watched her exit the way she came and stood next to John in the living room.

"You heard her," Damon told him. "Let's go."

xxxx

Jeremy sighed in defeat and threw the grimoire in his hands on the ground. "There's nothing here. All we've got is the spell Toby found about binding someone's life force with Elena's and killing them in the process. This is useless."

"Hey." Bonnie gently took hold of Jeremy's hand. "We'll find something."

The sound of a door creaking sounded throughout the house and Bonnie looked up.

"Somebody is here."

Alaric came walking down the stairs to the basement. He stopped a few feet away from Bonnie and Jeremy. "Elijah and Stefan are upstairs. You mind if I have a second with Jeremy?"

Bonnie nodded. "Sure, yeah. Of course."

Bonnie got up and left the basement to meet with Stefan and Elijah. Jeremy stood up as well with furrowed eyebrows.

"What's the matter?"

"Jeremy… something's happened to Jenna."

Outside, Bonnie was looking at Stefan and Elijah with wide eyes.

"Why did he take Jenna?"

"A punishment for meddling," Elijah answered calmly.

"Klaus was going to use Tyler and Caroline, but Damon rescued them," Stefan explained.

"Then we need to go now," Bonnie said. "Before Jenna's been sacrificed. I can kill Klaus myself."

"Bonnie, if you use that much power, you'll be dead. We've already been through this. It's not an option."

"Neither is letting Jenna die!"

"Well, Stefan would agree with you," Elijah told her. Bonnie looked confused. Stefan stepped closer to her.

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

xxxx

Klaus was pacing back and forth in the distance. Jules gave the occasional scream of pain and rolled over onto her side. Jenna's eyes were glistening with unshed tears.

"The day that the lawyers called me to tell me that I was going to become your guardian, you know what my first thought was?" Jenna was telling Elena, who shook her head. "Isn't there someone else you can do this?"

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

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

"But, you didn't." Elena knelt down to Jenna's level. "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 put a finger to her lips and lowered her voice, "run."

Jenna nodded her head and whispered back. "Okay."

xxxx

Elowen pulled up to an abandoned house that was somewhere in town. She got out of the car and carefully made her way up the steps and into the house. It was eerily quiet as she stepped farther into the foyer and she was looking around at her surroundings, her guard up as she searched for Luis. A laugh suddenly echoed from somewhere she couldn't pinpoint.

"I didn't realize you were this stupid," Luis taunted from the shadows. The smell in the house was starting to make Elowen's nose twitch. There was no doubt that there was probably dead bodies piled up somewhere. "Not only did you come alone, you came unarmed."

"A witch is never unarmed," Elowen called out, her voice bouncing off of the walls. "Haven't you learned that lesson already?"

Luis didn't say anything and it made Elowen feel uneasy. She had made it into the living room now. He was slowly circling around her like a predator would do with its prey. He decided to strike her from behind. He sped at her, but before he could reach her, a force field suddenly erected itself and sent him flying through the wall. She turned around just as he pulled himself back up to his feet.

"What the fuck was that?" He snarled at her. Elowen didn't answer. He tried rushing at her again, but Elowen made herself go invisible. He stopped halfway and wildly looked around for her. "Where did you go, you little bitch? You can't hide forever!"

"I'm right here."

Luis whirled around to find Elowen directly behind him. She raised her hand and used her newfound telekinesis to keep him frozen in his spot. He struggled against the unseen force and growled at her.

"Let me go. You'll be sorry if you don't."

Elowen tilted her head. "Hmm, no." She closed her fist and with a sickening snap, Luis's neck broke and he fell limp. Elowen released her hold on him and he crumpled to the ground. She once again used her telekinesis and lifted him into the air. She tapped onto his shoulder and turned him invisible so nobody would see a floating body and then walked back towards the door, aware that his dead body was following her.

She found his arm and pushed him into the backseat, then walked around towards the driver's seat and started up the car. Time to head back to the quarry.

xxxx

"He did what?!"

Alaric had just told Damon that Stefan had gone to offer himself as a replacement to Klaus. They were standing outside of the witch house while John had gone inside.

"He wasn't just going to let Jenna die."

"Damn it, Stefan!" He suddenly remembered Elowen barreling through the boarding house on a mission and her saying that she'd bought Jenna some time. "Elowen, she said she had an hour to do something, but she didn't say what. I should've asked. What if she was already looking for somebody to take Jenna's place?"

Alaric's eyes widened slightly. "What?" He quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and tried Stefan's phone. He didn't pick up. Damon heard the automated voicemail play and punched a nearby wall. He stumbled back slightly and Alaric furrowed his eyebrows.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Damon withdrew his hand. "Well, that's my brother for you. Always cleaning up my messes."

xxxx

Klaus approached the ring of fire containing Jenna.

"Hello, Jenna."

Both Jenna and Elena stood up from their spots on the ground.

"Let her go, please," Elena begged. "I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't!" She tried walking closer to the flames of her circle, but they flared up. She retreated backwards.

"Careful," Klaus warned.

"Please, Elowen is on her way with the replacement. Just let her go."

"I'm afraid I can't do that until your friend delivers. How else can I be sure she'll uphold her side of the deal?" Klaus heard a noise and lifted his head. "Well, well." He looked up at the top of the quarry. "I don't recall you being on the guest list."

Elena and Jenna looked up as well and spotted Stefan. Elena gasped at the sight of him.

"I'm here to talk," Stefan said to Klaus.

"Very well." Klaus sped up to the cliff Stefan was on. "What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?"

xxxx

"What have you found?" John asked Jeremy and Bonnie when he arrived in the basement.

"Nothing," Jeremy told him. "Except…"

"Except?"

"Well, Toby, Elowen's friend, he found this spell. It binds somebody's life force with Elena, but that person dies in the process. A life for a life."

John nodded and contemplated this for a moment. "Do it," he said at last. "On me. Do it on me."

Jeremy and Bonnie's eyes widened.

"What?" Jeremy blurted in surprise. "No! Are you crazy? You'll die!"

"I'm well aware, Jeremy, but this is Elena we're talking about. I've lived my life. Hers is just beginning."

Jeremy and Bonnie shared a look before Bonnie nodded her head. "Okay. I'll do the spell, but only if you're absolutely sure."

"I'm sure."

Bonnie started sifting through the grimoires. "Find the spell, Jeremy. It's in here somewhere."

Before they could even start, one of the grimoires opened on its own and flipped to the correct page. Bonnie picked it up and nodded her head.

"This is it. Are you ready?"

xxxx

"What's going on?" Jenna asked as she watched Stefan and Klaus talk at the top of the cliff. Elena shook her head.

"I- I don't know." Realization dawned on her and she turned to Jenna. "You can hear them. You can hear anything. Just focus on them."

"You don't need to kill Jenna. I'll take her place," Stefan was saying to Klaus.

"Oh, I don't know. I rather appreciate the symmetry and three women. Three goddesses, sacrificed at nature's alter."

"What are they saying?" Elena whispered to Jenna, who shook her head.

"I can't- I can't make it out."

"You can do this. Just relax. Focus."

"Don't play games with me." Stefan shook his head. "You'll get what you want either way."

"I can hear him," Jenna breathed in surprise. "I hear Stefan."

"What are they saying?" Elena asked in a quiet voice.

Klaus smiled amusedly. "You're quite the hero, aren't you? I've heard that about you."

"Just make the trade," Stefan repeated. "Me for Jenna."

Jenna's eyes widened when she heard this. "Oh my god."

"What is it?" Elena asked eagerly.

"He wants to take my place."

"I have to do something." Elena shook her head. "This can't happen. None of it."

Stefan and Klaus came walking down the hill and approached Elena and Jenna.

"Quite the predicament." Klaus tsked. "You know, it's funny, all this talk about preserving family, and here's Stefan, granting your wish."

"Stefan," Elena started. "Don't do this. What about Elowen?"

Stefan smiled at her sadly. "She'll have Damon. She'll be okay."

"Well." Klaus pointed a stake that he had in his hand between Jenna and Stefan. "Who's it gonna be, Elena?"

Elena shook her head. "No."

"Oh, don't worry. There's actually no choice." Klaus sped around Stefan and sank the stake in his back. Stefan screamed in pain and crumbled to the ground. Klaus broke the stake in half, leaving a chunk of it stuck in Stefan's back. "Did I forget to mention your girlfriend is already bringing me a replacement? She should be here any second. Besides, I have other plans for you. But, for now…" Klaus snapped Stefan's neck and he fell onto the ground.

Elowen had just made her way back down to the quarry and gasped when she saw Stefan laying on the ground. She rushed over to him. "What did you do?"

"Where's the vampire?" Klaus asked instead.

Elowen waved her hand and Luis appeared, floating a few feet above the ground. She wasn't paying attention to that, instead pulling Stefan's head into her lap. Klaus sighed dramatically and yanked Elowen to her feet by her arm.

"I'm not waiting all night, love. Start the spell, would you?"

Elowen turned towards the ring of fire Jenna was in and used her ice powers to extinguish it. Jenna tentatively stood up and walked out of the circle. Elowen waved her hand again and Luis took her spot. She dropped him onto the ground and then used her powers to unearth roots and vines from the ground and wrapped them tightly around Luis's wrists, ankles and neck, as she couldn't control fire.

"Go," Elowen told Jenna. "Get out of here."

Jenna shook her head. "No. I'm not leaving Elena."

"Jenna, go!" Elena yelled. "Please."

Jenna stared at Elena for a moment before nodding her head. She turned around, but Klaus was in front of her within seconds, plunging his hand into her chest and ripping her heart out.

"Jenna, no!" Elena cried, dropping to the ground. She started sobbing immediately while Elowen watched in shock. Klaus carelessly let her heart fall onto the ground.

"Why did you do that for?!" Elowen questioned loudly when she finally came to her senses. Klaus shrugged.

"We didn't need her anymore."

"But, you said you would spare her if I brought someone else!"

"I never said I would spare her. I said I'd let you swap her for someone else. Don't twist my words, love. Now, how about that ritual?"

Klaus walked off and Elowen turned to Elena, who was crying.

"I'm sorry," Elowen told her. "I'm so sorry. I tried."

From beside Elena, Jules moaned in pain as she tried to talk.

"Everything I did, I was just trying to help Tyler." Her words were directed at Elowen. "I didn't want him to be alone."

Elowen's face set into a glare. "He wasn't alone. He had Toby, and you took him away from his family. I have no respect for you."

She walked off towards Klaus, who was standing in front of a stone bowl that was filled with flames. He took the moonstone out of his pocket and looked at it for a moment.

"I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it."

He handed it over to Elowen, who took it. If it weren't for her power of knowing, she'd have no idea what she was supposed to do and everybody would be screwed. She dropped the moonstone into the bowl and sparks flew as the stone was destroyed. The ring of fire around Jules's dispersed on its own and Klaus walked over to her. Her eyes turned yellow and she tried using her werewolf speed to rush at Klaus, but he easily got the upper hand and pinned her to the ground. His hand was in her chest in seconds, tearing her heart out of her body. Elowen watched as the light left Jules's eyes. Klaus brought over her heart and hovered it over the stone bowl, where the blood dripped in. Elowen snapped out of it and started chanting the correct spell.

"Is it working?" Klaus asked from beside her. Elowen couldn't find her words, so she just nodded her head. Over by Elena, Luis started to stir and woke up. He fought against the roots holding him down and looked at his surroundings. He found Elowen and growled.

"You! Let me go! I'll kill you!"

Elowen jumped at the sound of his voice and for a second, fear flashed through her eyes as a reflex. Klaus noticed and glanced back at Luis. What exactly had this man done to make Elowen want her own father dead? Regardless of the reason, Klaus stalked over to him and loomed above him.

"Your turn," he told him as he grabbed the front of his shirt and ripped the roots as he forcefully pulled him to his feet.

"Who the fuck are you?" Luis hissed as he struggled against Klaus's grip.

"None of your concern, mate, considering you'll be dead in the next 10 seconds."

For probably the first time in his life, Luis felt scared. He wrestled even harder, but Klaus was much too strong for him. He reached Elowen and Luis immediately started begging for his life.

"Please! I'm sorry for everything I did, just get him to let me go."

Elowen glanced down at the partially broken stake Klaus had used on Stefan and carefully took it in her hands. Klaus, sensing what she was about to do, smirked and bent both of Luis's arms behind his back so his chest was nicely exposed. A lone tear fell down Elowen's face as she lifted the stake.

"I won't let you hurt us anymore."

"No! Please-"

Luis was cut off as Elowen stabbed the stake through his heart. His mouth hung open as his face started to turn grey and veins spread across his body. He fell against Klaus, who let him fall backwards onto the ground. He stepped over him and collected his blood to give to Elowen. He handed it over to her, and she poured it into the bowl.

Near Elena, Stefan woke up with a gasp. He felt the piece of the stake in his back and tried to reach it, but it was too far back for him to grasp. He looked over and saw Elena's tear streaked cheeks. He saw Jenna's lifeless body a few feet away, along with her heart lying next to her and understood.

"No," he whispered. He then found Elowen's eyes and glanced at the body that was in a heap at her feet and recognized it as Luis. What? Elena got his attention and put a finger to her lips.

"Are they going to kill him?" She asked lowly. Stefan nodded his head.

"Yes."

Klaus approached Elena and the ring of fire disappeared from around her. He extended his hand towards her, but Elena stood up and walked past Klaus, ignoring him. When she reached the altar where Elowen was, Elowen looked at her apologetically.

"I'm sorry about Jenna."

"You tried to save her," Elena mumbled. "Thank you."

Klaus came up behind Elena and turned her so she was facing him. Below them, Stefan struggled to get up from the ground, but fell back down, too weak to move.

"Thank you, Elena," Klaus said to Elena, who glared at him.

"Go to hell," she snapped.

Both Elowen and Stefan watched on helplessly as Klaus sank his fangs into Elena and started to drink from her. Slowly, Elena's eyes fluttered shut and her head lolled to the side as she died. When it was all said and done, Klaus let her drop to the ground. The fire in the bowl went out. Klaus walked away from the altar and looked up at the full moon.

"I can feel it. It's happening."

Klaus's bones began to break as the transformation started to happen. His eyes turned amber, but the veins of a vampire stayed on his face.

"Yes, yes!"

Suddenly, Klaus was thrown through the air. The flames in the bowl reignited, causing Elowen to back away. Damon appeared next to her and they nodded at each other as he bent over to pick up Elena's body. He took note of Luis, dead, at her feet, but figured now was not the time to ask. Bonnie came down the hill, chanting a spell.

"No!" Klaus's eyes widened. "You were dead!"

Elowen opened her mouth and started chanting a spell of her own, doubling the pain Klaus was feeling. His body contorted and shifted into uncomfortable shapes as Elowen and Bonnie brought him down.

Damon carried Elena over to Stefan and gently laid her down next to him. He grabbed hold of the remainder of the stake that was in his back and ripped it out. Stefan grunted his pain and sat up. Damon placed a hand on his shoulder to help him up, but Stefan shook his head.

"I need you to get her out of here."

"What about you?" Damon asked.

"I'm not leaving until he's dead. Go!"

Damon nodded and once again picked up Elena. He started carrying her away and sped off the rest of the way. Bonnie and Elowen continued chanting their respective spells, their combined powers so strong, not only did it make the winds pick up, but it caused nearby trees to fall over. Klaus screamed in pain as Elijah approached him.

"Elijah?" Klaus questioned in shock.

"Hello, brother," Elijah greeted calmly.

Stefan had gotten up and came to stand near Bonnie. Elowen was behind Elijah and Klaus. Elijah sank his hand into Klaus's chest and grabbed hold of his heart.

"In the name of our family, Niklaus..."

He twisted his hand in Klaus's chest, causing him to scream in pain again.

"I didn't bury them at sea!" Klaus said quickly. Elijah's face dropped.

"What?"

"Their bodies are safe! If you kill me, you'll never find them."

"Elijah!" Stefan called out. "Don't listen to him."

"Elijah, I can take you to them," Klaus told him. "I give you my word, brother."

Elijah was visibly having second thoughts.

"Do it and I'll take you both out," Bonnie threatened.

"You'll die," Elijah pointed out.

"I don't care."

Elowen knew she was about to solidify Elijah's next action, but she had to tell him.

"He's telling the truth!" She yelled over the roaring winds. "They're safe, Elijah. When you find them, tell Kol that Marisol loved him. He deserves to know."

"Elowen, what are you doing?!" Stefan yelled at her. Elijah glanced at her and then at Stefan and Bonnie.

"I'm sorry."

Stefan and Bonnie ran towards them, but before they could properly react, Elijah was gone with Klaus. They turned to Elowen.

"Why did you say that?!" Bonnie just about screamed at her. "We had him!"

"I'm sorry." Elowen was starting to cry, but she wasn't exactly sure why. "They were his family. I'm sorry."

She walked off of the altar and passed Stefan and Bonnie, back towards where she parked Damon's car. Neither of them went after her.

Elowen was in her room, catching up on homework. Her glasses were perched on her nose, which was buried in a book that she was supposed to write an essay on. There was a knock at her door. She looked up to find Josiah dressed in all black.

"You aren't ready?" He asked her. Elowen bookmarked her spot, set the book down and sighed. She leaned back in her chair.

"I think it's best if I'm not there," she mumbled. "Jenna's dead because I couldn't save her, and I helped Elijah run away with Klaus. Everyone's mad at me."

Josiah came to sit across from her on her bed. "Not everyone."

Toby came into the room, also dressed in all black, and smiled sadly at the sight of them. He overheard everything.

"You go," he told Josiah. "I'll stay here with her."

"Are you sure?" Josiah questioned.

Toby nodded. Josiah cast one last glance at Elowen and stood up. He patted Toby on the shoulder and left the room. Toby took Josiah's spot and placed his hands on hers.

"Hey," he said softly to get her attention. She had tears in her eyes. "It wasn't your fault."

"Yes, it was. Marisol is making it so hard to make the right choices when it comes to Elijah and Klaus. Bonnie told me that she's slowly taking over my body and there's nothing I can do about it." She finally started to cry and took her glasses off to cover her face. "I did the ritual, Toby. Me."

"You had no other option. Klaus would've killed us all if you didn't. You did what you had to do."

"And Marisol? Are you sure I didn't help him because she made me?"

Toby sighed and brushed some of her hair from her face. "No."

He pulled Elowen into his arms as she cried and allowed her to let it all out.

"We're going to head back to the house," Stefan told Damon. They were standing away from where the funeral was taking place to talk alone. "I was going to check on Elowen afterwards. Josiah said she's torn up about what happened." He paused. "Did you, uh… did you want to come?"

Damon slowly shook his head. "I think it's best I keep my distance from her from now on, brother. I'm not good for her, not with how I've been treating her. You, on the other hand, are a perfect candidate. You always have been. Be good to her."

"No, Damon, I won't let you do that. She loves you. She wouldn't just let you go like that."

"That's the thing, though, Stefan. She doesn't love me, remember?" He sighed. "Besides, I can't stand to see her lose anyone else, and if I'm not around, then I won't."

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Tyler Lockwood bit me." Damon rolled up his sleeve to show Stefan to bite, which had gotten worse over time. A look of anguish crossed Stefan's face. "It's actually more of a nip, but there it is."

Stefan took Damon's arm in his hands and examined the bite. "We'll find something. A cure."

"There's no cure, Stefan."

"We kept Elena from dying, right? We found a way when there was no way. I will do this."

"You want to do something for me? Keep this from Elowen."

"You won't be able to hide it from her for long, you know that, right? And you know how she is about secrets, Damon. She'll kill you."

"I think the bite will kill me first."

Damon pulled his sleeve back down, clapped his hand on Stefan's shoulder, then turned around and left.

Author's Note: This wasn't one of my favorite chapters to write because I wasn't able to fit a lot of non canon scenes in it, so I basically had to copy and paste the episode this time around. The story is almost over as there's only one more episode left for this season, and I'm excited to finally get to season 3! Season 1 took me over a year to upload since I was updating every twoish weeks to a month if I forgot, so I'm going to start posting chapters a lot quicker to get though them a bit faster. I've written up to the halfway point of season 5 and I can't wait for y'all to get there. I'm getting kind of antsy lol. I hoped you liked this was despite it being mostly the canon events of the episode :)
