Tennessee House
A blonde woman walks out of the kitchen door and out into the yard
"Rudy!" The woman whistles
"Rudy. Come on! It's too hot to make me come looking for you." The woman sighs as she bends down and picks a toy up of the ground. When she looks up though, Klaus and Aalleeyah (outfit on profile) appear in front of her
"I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to scare you." Aalleeyah apologises with no emotion
" Can I help you?" The woman replies
" Yeah, our car hmm, our car ran out of gas a couple of miles back. Eh I feel like we've been walking forever, yours is the first house we come to so I was just hoping we could use your phone?" Klaus asks, in an american accent
"Don't either of you have a cell phone?" The woman asks
" Huh, yeah" Klaus pulls his phone out of his pocket and Aalleeyah does the same, showing the woman their phones
"Both batteries died. Look I promise we're not serial killers. We just wanna use your phone." Klaus continues to try
"Sure." The woman sighs
" So, we can come in?" Aalleeyah asks
" No, I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you." The woman says
" I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting." Klaus comments, annoyed
" I'm from Florida." The woman sasses
" Well, that explains it." Klaus says and grabs her by the throat and looks into her eyes
"Now show us a little southern hospitality. Sweet pea." Klaus compels.
Inside in the house, there's another woman making food in the kitchen.
"I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning." Woman#2 comments, hearing the door open but not turning around. When she gets no response, she turns around and finds the first woman crying and Klaus and Aalleeyah holding her.
" What's going on?" Woman#2 asks
" Please don't be alarmed. I was told Ray Sutton lives here." Klaus explains
" He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly." Woman#2 replies
" But I expect he makes it home, once a month. That's what I thought. Where is he now?"Klaus questions but gets no answer
"If I have to make you tell me it's going to be infinitely more painful for you. Hmm" Klaus smiles. Woman #2 tries to make a run for it and runs to the front door. She opens it but finds Stefan standing outside the door, blocking her escape.
" Aaaah!" Woman#2 screams seeing Stefan. Klaus, Aalleeyah and woman#1 come up behind her.
" I love it when they run!" Klaus smirks
"He's in Toll. It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort, It's on Highway 41." Woman#2 relents
" Thank you my love." Klaus says to woman #2 then turns to the first woman and touches her hair
"Now, may my friend come in?" Klaus asks her
"Yes." The first woman cries. The second woman looks terrified as Stefan steps in and Klaus throws the first woman to Stefan
" Kill this one quickly." Klaus commands referring to woman #1 then looks at woman #2
"And make that one suffer. We'll be in the car." Klaus grabs Aalleeyah's hand and drags her out of the house and to the car, opening the passenger seat door for her
"Oh, what a gentleman" Aalleeyah sarcastically says before hoping in the car and Klaus jogs around to the driver's seat and gets in.
"How much longer until I get to go home?" Aalleeyah sighs
"Oh come on love, you make it sound like you aren't having any fun" He smugly responds
"That's because I'm not"
"Are you sure about that?"
"100%"
"What happened to the Lee who would come on killing sprees with me for months at a time?"
"She grew up"
Inside the house, the women are crying
" Please don't!" The first woman pleads. Stefan shows no emotion as he transforms into a vampire. He bites her as she and the other woman screams.
Gilbert's House, Elena's Bedroom
Elena wakes up in her bed and sits up. She gets up and walks to the window, opening them up.
Jeremy's room
In Jeremy's room, Elena opens his curtains wide open too.
"Aaahh! Early. Bad!" Jeremy groans
"Ahh. It's not early." Elena refutes and walks to him and pulls the covers off him
"You're late, for work. Matt just called." Elena informs as Jeremy looks at the clock
" Well, maybe he'll fire me." Jeremy smiles
"Aim high." Elena jokes, walking out the door.
Outside somewhere in Mystic Falls
Caroline is on the phone to Elena
" What are you doing?" Elena asks her
"Just shopping for the party you're trying to bail out on." Caroline replies as Elena walks down the stairs at her house and walks into the kitchen to see Jenna watching Alaric make coffee
" I never said yes in the first place." Elena says
" You were never going too Which is why I planned it anyway. And my mom wants you to call her."
" Did she find something?"
" An animal attack in Memphis, It's the third one this week in Tennessee."
" And you're sure it's a vampire?" Elena looks over at Alaric who's making coffee and listening in
" Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's Klaus."
" Doesn't mean it's not. I'll call her." Elena replies, walking over to Ric and pushing him out of the way to make the coffee
" Well call her on her cell."
" Tell her thank you for her help."
" Alright. Well, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit."
"Wait Care, are you okay? You know, with Leeyah being gone?"
"Yeah I'm fine" Caroline cheerily replies
"Are you sure? Because you guys used to plan all the parties together and now you're doing it alone"
"I'm fine Elena, I gotta go" Caroline hangs up as Tyler approaches her
"Hi!" Caroline greets
Gilbert House
" Ugh!" Elena sighs
"Was that eh... Stefan news?" Alaric asks
" Could be more Klaus victims."
" You certain Stefan's still with him?"
" Easy to be certain when the alternative is that he's dead." Elena explains, pouring some coffee. There's a moment of silence before Elena speaks up
"Jen, have you heard from Leeyah?" Elena asks
" Sorry. I try calling her like five times every day but no answer yet" Jenna informs sadly
" Right, I guess when she wants to be found, she'll call. Right?" Elena asks
" Right, when she's ready." Alaric agrees
" Alright, got it." Elena starts to walk out
" Hey Elena." Alaric calls out and Elena stops walking and tuns back around to face the two
" Happy Birthday." Alaric and Jenna say in unison
"Thanks." Elena smiles
Salvatore's House
At the Boarding House, Damon is taking a bubbly bath while Andie does her make up in a nearby mirror. Damon tries to pour himself another glass of champagne
"We're out of champagne." Damon pouts
"Huh. No you are out of champagne; I don't drink in the morning." Andie corrects
" Well would you be a dear and get..."
" I think you can probably get it yourself. I'm not your slave." Andie cuts him off
" Hmm." Damon steps up out of the tub and walks toward the door, dripping water.
" I mean you're dripping a little." Andie says
" Mm hm." Damon walks out of the bathroom as Elena walks in the house, walking into the parlour. Damon walks up behind her
" Good morning." Damon greets
" Hey, I was gonna..." Elena spins around to find a smirking, naked Damon
" OH!" Elena quickly turns back around, to face away from him
" You heard me! You knew that I was here." Elena realises
" Yeah, you should learn to knock. What if I was...indecent?" Damon jokes. Elena puts her hand over her eyes and using her other hand, grabs a nearby town and chucks it over to him. He puts it on and Elena quickly peeks through her fingers to see if he is now covered up. He is so pulls her hand away
" Sheriff Forbes gave us another location to check." Elena informs and pulls out a note
"Memphis." Elena holds up the note
" Another dead end you mean."
" You don't know that."
"You're right, Elena. This could be the one. After almost two months this could be the one clue that tells that Stefan is alive and well and living in Graceland." Damon argues, walking up to her
"Fine, I'll go by myself." Elena starts to leave. Damon stops her by super speeding in front of her and snatching the note off of her.
"Right, and let Klaus know you're tracking him. He thinks you're dead; let's keep it that way." Damon says
" It's a new lead Damon; we haven't had one in a while."
" Okay, I'll check it out. If I find anything I'll call you."
" But..." Elena is cut off by Damon walking away
Damon walks back into his room and opens his closet door, revealing a map surrounded by lots of notes. He pins the new note up with the others.
"They moved on to Tennessee." Damon informs Andie
"Huh, that fluttered victim you had me looking in to had family in Tennessee." Andie replies
"Which one? Pensacola?"
"Aha."
"Up for a road trip?"
"Ha, no can do, I've got to work. But I can see if I can get you an address." Andie and Damon kiss
"See you at the party." Andie says, walking out
"Get me that address." Damon commands
Mystic Grill
Jeremy is in the back, moving some boxes around while face timing Bonnie.
" You need to come home it's boring around here without you." Jeremy tells Bonnie
"Huh, you think you're bored, my dad's side of the family is like wet paint that never dries." Bonnie complains and Jeremy smiles
"How's the grill treating you?" Bonnie asks
" Well it's teaching me the value of a mundane human experience."
" A summer job is god for you; you needed something normal in your life." Bonnie argues. Then suddenly the lights flicker and they hear a strange noise.
" What was that?" Bonnie asks
" Nothing, look I uh... I got to go back to work. I'll talk to you soon okay?"
" Wait, wait Jeremy. Is everything okay with you?"
" Yeah, yeah. Normal and mundane. Come home soon okay."
" Okay" Bonnie replies as the lights flicker again, hanging up the phone. the lights go off completely and when they come back on, Vicki is standing in front of Jeremy. Startled, he drops his phone
" Vicki?" Jeremy asks but she disappears.
Still freaked out, Jeremy bend down and picks his phone back up. Unbeknownst to him, Anna is behind him and is about to touch him but disappears when Matt barges in.
"I need you to switch sections with me." Matt tells Jeremy
" Why?"
" Caroline and Tyler just sat in mine."
" So?"
" So. I don't feel like waiting on my ex-girlfriend." Matt walks out
Outside the Grill, Tyler and Caroline are sitting at one of the outdoor tables, talking.
" Something's up with your mother." Caroline informs Tyler
"Like what?"
" When I was over yesterday she just kept eyeing me." Caroline explains as Jeremy arrives at their table
" Hey Guys." Jeremy greets
" Did Matt make you switch sections?" Caroline asks and Jeremy shrugs his shoulders in reply
"He thinks we're dating." Caroline says to Tyler
" So does my mother." Tyler responds
" What?" Caroline laughs awkwardly
" We're together all the time, it's not a leap."
" That's crazy."
" Right." Tyler agrees
Southern Comfort bar
Ray, the werewolf, walks up to the bar
"What's up Ray?" A man calls out
"Hey Red, get me a beer." Ray orders as Klaus walks up next to him
"Ray? Ray Sutton?" Klaus questions
"Who wants to know?" Ray asks
"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you used to work with before you moved to Memphis, now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here, to you." Klaus explains
"I think I'll be going." Ray tries to leave but Klaus stops him
"Not so fast mate. You only just got here, now your type are very hard to come by." Klaus says and Ray tries to walk the other way to Klaus but when he turns Stefan is standing there, stopping him.
"I wouldn't do that." Stefan warns and pushes him back towards Klaus
"My friend here is a vampire, he compelled everybody in the bar so don't look to them for any help. I however, I'm something else, a different kind of monster, I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf." Klaus says
"You what?" Ray asks, astounded
"A hybrid Ray, I'm both. And so is that beautiful lady at the bar there" Ray turns his head to see Aalleeyah sitting on his previously occupied bar stool, smirking at him
"She on the other hand has a bit of vampire and a bit of witch" Klaus smirks
"You see I want to create more of me, now you being the first werewolf that I've come across in many a moon, pun intended Ray. I need you to direct me to your pack. So, where can I find them Ray?" Klaus interrogates
"You can't compel me, it won't work." Ray bravely replies. Klaus looks toward Aalleeyah and nods, then turns to the bartender
"Can you bring out some darts please?" She asks and he smiles at her flirty before going off to get them. She then turns back to the three men and gets up, standing next to Klaus
"Tell you what Ray, We're gonna play a little drinking game, something I like to call truth or wolfsbane." Aalleeyah smirks and pulls out some wolfsbane, pours some into her hand and crushes it.
" Oh, this is gonna be fun Ray." Klaus remarks
Tennessee House
Damon and Ric arrive at the house and Damon's phone starts to ring. He looks at the Caller ID and sees it Elena so he declines the call.
"Elena?" Alaric asks and Damon pulls a face, confirming his question
"I don't know why you just don't come clean and tell her where we are." Alaric says
"Because Andie said this was a half lead and I don't want to get her hopes up." Damon replies
" Yeah, well they're all half leads, and I'm your accomplice. What do you want me to say to her, I'm practically living there." Alaric wonders
" Hey, you haven't heard from Aalleeyah have you? Elena's starting to get worried" Alaric asks
"Nope. And I hope I never hear from her. She left when everyone needed her. She sucks." Damon bitterly responds, while looking around
"You mean when you needed her?" Alaric asks
" It's quiet." Damon changes topic
" Yeah. Too quiet." Alaric agrees
They walk to the front porch and Damon places his foot inside the door and finds he can walk in,so he does.
" Oh yeah." Damon comments and Ric follows him inside and closes the door behind them. They look around and discover dead bodies on the living room couch.
" Ugh. Vampire for sure." Alaric concludes
" Stefan, for sure." Damon corrects
" How do you know?" Alaric
" It's his signature; there's a reason they call him the ripper. Feeds so hard he blacks out and rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse. It's the damndest thing, he put the bodies back together." Damon pushes her leg with his foot and her head falls off, rolling on the ground
" Back together?" Alaric asks
" Definitely Stefan." Damon says
Salvatore's House
Caroline, Tyler and Elena are decorating the house for Elena's birthday party and making conversation along the way
" I feel like I have to fight Damon every single time we get a lead on Stefan." Elena complains
" Maybe he doesn't want to find him." Tyler shrugs
"Tyler!" Caroline scolds
" The only reason Stefan left with Klaus was so that he could save Damon's life. I mean, trust me, Damon wants to find him." Elena refutes
" But you kissed him?" Tyler asks
"Yes but he thought I was Aalleeyah" Elena explains
"Why did you kiss him then? Probably screwed with his head" Tyler says.
" Tyler!" Caroline yells again
" Sorry!" Caroline apologizes
"It was a goodbye kiss. I thought he was gonna die. " Elena sighs
"Elena… Do you like Damon?" Caroline asks
"No." Elena immediately responds
" Then why kiss him goodbye?" Tyler continues to interrogate
"Look, I don't know okay." Elena snaps as her phone beeps
"I missed a call from Bonnie, I'll be right back." Elena walks away to call Bonnie back
"Sorry. I've gotta run if I'm gonna change and pick up Sophie in time." Tyler tells Caroline
"Wait. You're bringing a date? Slutty Sophie is your date?" Caroline asks
"Hey! It's been kinda slow in that department. And... I am horny all the time now!"
"Yeah, tell me about it, sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode! It's a vampire thing. Yeah, our emotions are heightened and we're on overdrive."
"It's a werewolf thing too. Just like I can't turn it off."
"Yeah. Well. Uh—I hope you'll get—uh—Lucky tonight." Caroline stutters
"I'll see you later." Tyler laughs
" Yeah, See you later." Caroline says and Tyler leaves
Tennessee House, Living room
Damon and Ric are still at the house. Damon has a tank of gasoline and is pouring it all over the living room to burn the bodies
" What are you doing?" Alaric asks
" Covering their tracks. Clearly they have no interest staying in the dark, but I do." Damon replies but then when Ric move back to give Damon more space to pour gas, he steps on a creaky floorboard
" Hang on." Damon puts the tank down and crouches down . He flips the rug over and sees a hidden door. They opens it and find a heap of chains
" Well, what do you know. Werewolves." Damon comments, holding the chains. They close the door and Damon lights a match, throws it to the floor and the living room sets on fire.
Southern Comfort bar
Ray is chained up to a wall being used as a dartboard. He already has some darts in his body and he is in a lot of pain. Stefan and Aalleeyah are sitting at a table near the wall. Aalleeyah dips the darts into the wolfsbane, passes them to Stefan who get sup and throws the darts at Ray while Klaus watches nearby.
"Ray, you can end this right now. Just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon." Stefan informs
" I can't." Ray painfully says
" I know, I know. You live by code and all that, but see he's not gonna let me stop until you tell me. And I do whatever he says so, that's the way it goes around here." Stefan explains as a woman approaches Klaus
" Hello mister Klaus. I have some more information for you." The woman tells and Stefan and Aalleeyah hear. Stefan walks closer, but not to the table, to hear better but Aalleeyah walks straight up to the table stands next to Klaus. Klaus pulls Aalleeyah down into his lap and she struggles to get away so stays put eventually, pouting. "You told me to tell you if I saw anything. I saw the guys spotted Damon at the farm house." The woman informs
" Well thank you Claudine, you'll just tell your friends to keep up the good work or they're gonna watch her." Klaus says and the woman walks away. Stefan approaches the table now
"My brother still on our trail?" Stefan asks
"He's getting closer, I'm gonna have to deal with that." Klaus gets up and starts to walk away but Stefan grabs his arm
"No, no, no. Let me handle it." Stefan tries
"Why should I let you leave?"
"Cause, you'll know I'll come back."
"Do I?"
"You saved my brother's life; I'm at your service."
"Ah, you sound so tedious and indentured, aren't you even having the least bit of fun?" Klaus points to Ray with a huge smile on his face
"I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us anymore." Stefan walks away
"Yeah I'll go with him" Aalleeyah tries to get up from her spot but Klaus pulls her back down to her sit
"I don't think so love" Klaus says and she pouts angrily and has a sip of Klaus' drink that he left on the table
"Oh don't be grumpy. It's your birthday have a little fun" Klaus dangles a dart in front of her. She downs the drink then slams the empty glass down
"You know what? Fine." She snatches the dart, throws it at ray, getting him in the forehead
"That's my girl" Klaus muses as she throws another
