Thank you for all the reviews! They're so good!


HEYITSJACE: Thanks! Katherine knows something's up, but she hasn't seen Damon with Maya yet.

CharacterImagination2: Let's just say that Liz is really lucky that Caroline is going to have a very rich boyfriend, and compulsion, otherwise she'd have no money left.

Ashes2Dust18: The smutty details just wouldn't come to me! And I really wasn't going to force it!

Dizzy Florian: We'll get more Elijah/Jenna soon, and some more Klaus/Maya. Caroline deserves some fun, and Damon and Enzo were perfect to make sure she felt safe. Maya's gonna need to do more to prove herself to the pack, but it was a good start.

WiseGirlDivergence46: Klaus/Maya time is coming VERY soon.

darkpegasuzz: Thank you!

Kathiena: Rose is coming soon so you'll see!

Saiyanprincess1511: I think Damon just wanted to get it over with, and felt like he wouldn't be killed, but even if he did, he knew that Katherine would pay dearly for it.

Nicolle Cullen Masen: Maya and Kol definitely haven't settled anything, Kol doesn't really know how to apologise, and Maya was more concerned on making things right with Klaus first. They'll definitely have a heart to heart now that Kol's in Virginia. We'll see how Elijah reacts to Katherine very soon!

musa22lbl: Thanks!

dreamsnhugs: They'll be some really good stuff coming up!

Guest: Damon and Enzo have never thought of Caroline as a little sister, I don't know why you thought that, but they don't.

Monali. kk: Thanks.

sammyleann: Kol messed up! He shouldn't have been trying brag to Damon, Enzo and Klaus!

HaleyKTbear: He's coming! We're gonna have some Maya/Nik next chapter!

Blu3b3rryT3a: Caroline is being taught by people with actual control! And she'll have proper understanding of how to use her compulsion! We'll see if Elena still wants to keep her mother in the dark when Katherine really starts to work against them! Klaus is so happy that he'll have his hands on Katherine soon!

Sinnderella: Elijah/Jenna is happening, sorry.

xotinkerbella: You've got some Liam and Luna in this chapter, and Klaus/Maya in the next one!

SkyNeves: Yes, I meant that while Maya knew Katherine was a doppelganger, she didn't know what the doppelganger actually looked like.

APridefulSin: Care's going to have a lot of fun with her compulsion.

Bria: Thank you!

EmeraldGhost11: Thanks!


Two days later, it was the night of the carnival, Damon and Enzo took Maya, all three of them had promised Caroline to make sure the event went off without a hitch. The newbie Vampire was seriously put out that she couldn't be there in person, but both Rebekah and Kol had vetoed that, especially with Katherine in town, they needed to make sure that she had full control over herself without someone watching over her. The carnival was in full swing, and Maya noticed that Stefan was watching Tyler Lockwood at his arm-wrestling station, a puzzled look on his face, "What is Stefan doing?" Maya asked, Damon had been the one curious about the Lockwoods last time, but it was like, without Damon's prodding, Stefan was the one who wanted to know about them.

"I dunno," Damon shrugged, "I'm gonna see what's up," he walked over to his brother, watching as Stefan watched Tyler, "Whatcha doing there Stef?"

"I'm observing," Stefan replied.

"You're lurking," Damon said.

"Why did the Gilbert device affect the Mayor?" Stefan asked, "They're not Vampires." Damon smirked and Stefan scowled, "Do you know something?"

"He's got strength," Damon gestured to Tyler.

Stefan narrowed his eyes, wondering what his brother was getting at, "He's a triple varsity athlete."

The brothers watched as Tyler beat another opponent, "Enter the uncle," Damon said, as Mason stepped up to his nephew, and then won.

Tyler stepped away with a grin, "Okay! He's the champ! Who wants to go next?"

"Stefan wants to go!" Damon called.

"What are you doing?" Stefan hissed.

"You said you wanted to know what was up with them, I'm just helping."

Stefan walked over a little sheepishly, "My brother thinks I can beat you."

"Your brother's wrong," Mason said, and they set up, the older Lockwood beating the Vampire, easily.

"That was ridiculous," Damon said, as his brother came back over to him, "You didn't even try."

"Actually, I did," Stefan replied, "He's strong, it's not our level, but…it's definitely more than human."

"Hmm."

Stefan scowled, "You know something and you're not going to tell me, are you?"

Damon shrugged and walked off with a smirk.


Elijah was guided inside the compound by the Beta of the pack, Cary. With Kol in Virginia, Klaus had finally decided to invite Elijah to Arizona to meet his children. He heard excited chattering not far away and tensed, the last time he'd met his brother's child, it was Marcel, and Klaus had not taken it well when the young boy wanted to spend time with him. Seeing it as though Marcel preferred spending time with Elijah instead of him, Elijah understood why Klaus was so upset at the thought, and he didn't want anything of the sort to happen again.

Cary stopped him just outside of the room, "The kids are inside with Freya, Klaus will be down in a minute," he said and Elijah nodded, moving to go forward, but Cary put up a hand, "And…just a warning, the floor is lava." He pointed to the room, and walked off, leaving a very confused Elijah in his wake.

"What?" Elijah asked, but Cary was already gone.

The Noble Original walked inside the living room to find two children, on the table, his sister stood on a chair, and a few teenagers, dotted around the room hanging from furniture, not allowing their feet to touch the ground. He did not understand what was going on at all, "What is going on?" Elijah asked, and Freya looked up with a smirk.

"Elijah! Didn't you get the warning?" the blonde asked.

"What?"

"The floor is lava!" she said in explanation, narrowly avoiding Luna, who tried to shove her off the chair to the ground, "No cheating Luna! I was distracted!"

Luna rushed away from her aunt, and leapt onto on of the side tables in the room, "All's fair in love and war!" she shot back with a giggle.

"Oh it's war you want?" Freya asked, "It's war you'll get!" she jumped after her, but ended up knocking one of the teens to the floor.

"C'mon!" the teen complained.

"Sorry!"

"You're dead!" Liam called.

The teenager grumbled headed to join the seating area that housed the losers, Elijah stopped him, "Why does everybody keep saying the floor is lava?" he asked, and the young boy looked at him in disbelief.

"Because the floor is lava, it's pretty self-explanatory, you land in the lava, you're dead."

"It's a game?" he looked at his sister, "Really Freya?" he wasn't impressed.

Before she could respond, Klaus was at the doorway, about to walk in when Luna called out to him, "Daddy stop!" she yelled in a panic.

"What?" Klaus asked, suddenly alert.

"The floor is lava!"

"Oh," Klaus looked around the room for a moment, before using his Vampire agility to jump across the room, landing right next to Freya. "Better?" he asked, causing his children to beam up at him.

"Honestly Niklaus, Freya," Elijah stepped further into the room, "Must you be so childish?"

"Bold words coming from someone currently burning to death in lava," Freya replied with a grin.


Stefan opened the front door, when he heard Alaric pull up, and welcomed the teacher inside, "Thanks for coming Ric."

Damon walked into the living room, he hadn't been paying attention, so was surprised to find his brother, Elena and the teacher there, "Alaric," Damon said, heading to the drinks cabinet, "Can I get you something to drink?" he asked, "Coffee? Bourbon? Bourbon in your coffee?"

Alaric rolled his eyes and ignored him, turning to Stefan, "Elena mentioned you needed my help."

"Yeah," Stefan nodded, "We were hoping that you could help shed some light on the Lockwood family."

"Why would I know anything about them?"

"You wouldn't," Damon said, understanding what Stefan was up to, "But your dead, not dead Vampire wife might."

Elena shot him a look, before turning to Alaric, "Isobel's research from when you guys were at Duke together. You said that she spent years researching the town."

He nodded, "Isobel's research here in Mystic Falls was based on folklore and legends, but at the time I thought much of that was fiction."

"Like that amazing Vampire story," Damon cut in, dropping a bourbon in Ric's hand.

"Aside from Vampires, what else was there?"

"The lycanthrope."

"Wait, like Werewolves?" Elena asked in surprise.

"Why do you suspect the Lockwood's?"

"Because the Gilbert device affected the Mayor, and we all know he wasn't a Vampire," Stefan said, "And his brother exhibited serious strength at the school carnival. It suggests that they're some sort of a supernatural entity."

"We were hoping that Isobel's research could help us figure it out what it is."

"Well, all her things are still at Duke. I mean her office is still there, she's technically still missing."

"Can we get access to it?" Stefan asked.


"Elijah," Klaus said, bringing Luna and Liam with him, the two children eyeing him cautiously, "This is Liam, and Luna, my children. Little ones, this is your Uncle Elijah, my big brother."

Luna crossed her arms with a pout, seeing that he'd come empty handed, "Auntie Bex, and Auntie Freya brought us presents, you didn't bring us anything."

Freya snickered while she got Kol on the phone as he said that he wanted to see what Elijah's first interaction with the kids would be like. And Klaus had to stop himself from laughing at that, "Really," Elijah crouched down so that he was eye level with her, "Did your Uncle Kol bring you anything when he first met you?"

"I brought them the gift of myself Elijah! I'm a delight!" Kol said over the phone. "And their favourite, so don't even try!"

Elijah smirked and pulled out his wallet, "I must confess, I was unsure what to get you, since we'd never met, but then I thought," he took out several hundred-dollar bills, "Who doesn't like money?"

Luna's eyes widened, and she snatched the bills from his fingers, "Thanks Uncle Elijah!" and she ran off.

"Hey!" Liam yelled and chased after her, "That's not all for you!"

"Really Elijah!" Klaus scowled as he heard the children dodge members of the pack and argue, "Money?"

"It worked, didn't it?"


"No I haven't got the moonstone yet," Mason said, "What do you want me to do Katherine?"

"I want you to get your hands on the moonstone, while I figure out what is going on with Elena's cousin."

"Who, Maya?"

"You know her?"

Mason shrugged, "I may have had a crush on her mom when I was sixteen and Jenna was 22, Maya, Tyler and Caroline Forbes used to spend a lot of time at the mansion."

"Do you think you could get into their house?" Katherine asked, she hadn't been able to score an invite into the Sommers residence yet, but if Mason could get in there, then he could snoop for her.

"I guess I could call Jenna, set something up. Why are you so interested?"

"Damon spent his entire Vampire life obsessed with me, and all of a sudden, he acts like he doesn't care. I want to know why."

Mason frowned, "Do you want him to be obsessed with you?" Katherine said that she loved him, but now she sounded jealous.

"Of course not!" Katherine rolled her eyes, the wolf was so needy, "But we came to town with a plan, we came here, knowing what were getting into. If Damon's changed then we don't know what else has changed. I just wanna be prepared."

Mason sighed, "I can call Jenna, tell her that I wanna catch up."

"Good, while you do that I'll see if I can get some answers from the source."


Maya was at the Grill with Damon and Enzo, when Katherine walked in, dressed exactly like Elena. She walked up to them, causing them to pause their conversation, and look up at her expectantly.

"Elena," Maya said with a smirk, "It's not like you to be out without your shadow."

"Stefan's busy," Katherine said, "I wanted to talk to you."

Enzo was glad that they knew that Elena was at the Duke campus with Stefan, because Katherine was doing a really good job at pretending to be Elena, "What makes you think we want to talk to you?" he asked.

"I wasn't talking to you," Katherine made a face, she still had nothing on this new Vampire, her contacts told her that he was turned in the early 1900s and disappeared from public records in the 40s, but she had nothing on him after that.

"But in this case, Enzo speaks for me," Maya said, with a smirk.

"Maya we need to talk about Katherine, Stefan told me she went after Damon," she looked at the Salvatore, who had his arm around the red-head, "Aren't you worried?!"

Maya burst into laughter, "I'm sorry-I can't- I can't keep a straight face! Seriously Katherine? Trying to undermine my relationship with Damon? That's pathetic."

"What are you- I'm not Katherine!" Katherine looked confused, trying to emphasise the fact that she was Elena.

Damon rolled his eyes, "Elena's not in town Katherine."

Hearing that, Katherine straightened up, "What?" her eyes narrowed.

Damon smirked, "Stefan and Elena went for a romantic weekend trip, my brother wanted to make sure that Elena knew that your appearance meant nothing to him."

Katherine clenched her fists, she didn't like this, why didn't she know that Stefan and Elena had gone out of town? "What's the matter Kat? Wondering why you didn't have that information?" Maya asked, a smug look in her eyes.

"What did you do?" the doppelgänger growled.

"Well, we noticed that a deputy was acting a little weird, so the guys took a look, turns out," she whispered the next part, "He was compelled!"

"So we got rid of him…" Enzo finished, they'd actually sent the man on a vacation, not that Katherine needed to know that.

"Sorry Kitty Kat," Maya smiled, "Better luck next time!"

Katherine narrowed her eyes, "Making an enemy out of me, would be a really stupid idea."

Maya didn't let the smile fall of her face, there was so much she wanted to say to Katherine, but she wouldn't, not until she knew that she had Katherine on lock, she wouldn't forgive herself if she tipped Katherine off and the woman ran, "I would think, that threatening someone you know nothing about, is also a pretty stupid idea. You have no idea who I am Katherine, but I have a feeling, I know more than enough about you."

Katherine hated to admit it, but the girl was right, knowledge was power, it was how she'd managed to stay one step ahead of Klaus all these years, and she knew nothing about the Sommers girl. She wasn't human, but didn't know what she was, Witch? Werewolf? Something else entirely? "Watch yourself Maya, being out in public will only keep you safe for so long."


Jenna and Maya were having dinner together, just the two of them, because they needed some mother daughter time, "So you'll never guess who called me today." Jenna said.

"You better not say Elijah, I don't want to know anything about you two!"

Jenna rolled her eyes, "No, I'm not gonna tell you whenever Elijah calls me, those are private!"

"Wait," Maya narrowed her eyes, "How many times does he call you?"

"More than Klaus calls you," Jenna replied sassily.

"Ah! You have no idea how many times I speak to Nik!"

"Honey I get your phone bill," she said with mock sympathy.

"I astral project to see him!" Maya exclaimed, "I only call for emergencies!"

"Uh-huh," Jenna nodded, entirely unconvinced.

"Oh shut up! Who called you?"

Jenna smirked, sometimes it was fun to mess with her daughter, "Mason Lockwood."

"What did he want?"

"To catch up," Jenna shrugged, "You know he had serious crush on me when he was in high school."

"And now he's sleeping with a woman that looks exactly like Elena," Maya said.

"Oh," Jenna frowned, "That makes him less attractive."

Maya rolled her eyes, "He's obviously doing Katherine's bidding."

"That does explain why he was so eager to have dinner over here, even though he knows that I can't cook."

"Hmm," Maya looked at her mother for a moment, "Set it up."

"What?"

"We'll take Mason off the board for Katherine, provoke her into revealing her hand."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Caroline's back soon, and Kol is refusing to leave her side, so if I can get Katherine before they come back, that would be best."

"Fine, but no killing!"

"Oh come on!"


The next day, Mason went over to the Sommers house, unaware that he was falling into a trap set by Maya, Damon and Enzo. The barbeque had been fun, Maya and Jenna were delightful, Damon was charming, and Enzo, he was upstairs, keeping an ear out, they wanted to know what Mason was up to, and they didn't have to wait long. Jenna was 'helping' Maya out in the kitchen, Damon had 'disappeared' to take a call, and Mason had slipped away to snoop through the house. He'd gone straight upstairs, following his nose, he found Maya's bedroom, but after quick glance, determined there was nothing in there. However, there was another place in the house that smelled just as strongly of Maya, it was the room on the top floor, her magic room.

Mason listened to make sure that no one was there, before opening the door and walking in, eyes widening as he took in the magical artifacts, "She's a Witch!" Mason whispered. He turned around to leave but hit a barrier, "What-"

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Enzo stood just outside the barrier, "A trespasser."

"Let me out of here," Mason growled.

Enzo shook his head in amusement, "You never should have come back to Mystic Falls Mason."

Maya appeared from behind Enzo, "Somnus." Mason collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

/ / /

Damon and Enzo had lifted Mason's unconscious form and put him on a chair, securing him with chains that had been infused with wolfsbane, so he wouldn't be able to get out of them. Enzo quickly went through Mason's pockets, and found not just his phone, but the fake moonstone, "Alright," Damon said, "Wake him up."

"Excito."

Mason woke with a gasp, "What- what did you do to me?"

"I knocked you out," Maya said, "You shouldn't have been snooping."

"I was curious," Mason said, "I'm sorry."

"You're sorry you got caught," Maya replied.

"Look, whatever this is, you don't need to do this."

"Relax," Damon said, "Jenna made us promise that we wouldn't kill you, but that doesn't mean that we can't hurt you."

He made to move forward, but Maya stopped him, "Damon."

"Oh come on! I wanna see how fast it takes for a werewolf to heal!" he was still smarting over the Werewolf bite he'd received a few years ago.

She shot him a look and he crossed his arms, and leant against the wall, pouting, "We know you're working with Katherine," Maya said, and Mason's eyes widened in shock, "Don't be so surprised I've been ten steps ahead of Katherine this whole time. I know why you're here Mason."

"But we don't know why you'd believe a single word, Katherine Pierce says. She's a Vampire, Vampire's hate Werewolves," Enzo said.

Mason didn't say anything, and Damon pushed off of the wall, "When did you two meet? Did she seduce you and tell she loved you? You're supernatural so she can't compel you. I'm sure she used her other charms. Katherine's good that way."

Mason just scowled at him and Damon rolled his eyes, "Why are you with Katherine?" he asked again.

Enzo watched as Mason refused to speak, and realised why, "Damon," he said, "He's in love with her."

"No, really?"

"And she loves me!" Mason finally said.

"Oh you're pathetic!" Damon spat, "Katherine doesn't love you, she's using you! You moron!"

"You're just jealous!"

Maya rolled her eyes, "She doesn't love you Mason, and I'll prove it to you!" she grabbed Mason's phone, and handed it Damon, "Call her."

Damon smirked, and hit re-dial on the last number called, while Maya silenced Mason, "Mason, what did you find out?"

"Wrong boy toy!"

"Damon," Katherine said, "For once, you surprise me. I guess Mason's with you."

"Yep," Damon replied, "He's right beside me, although his heart is across the room."

"Tell me you didn't."

"Well I wanted to spare him the heartbreak, the poor sap actually believed that you loved him, can you believe that?" Damon let out a sardonic laugh, while Mason struggled against his bonds, he didn't want Katherine to reveal anything to them.

"You shouldn't have done that Damon."

"You know, I've had a really busy day, I killed a werewolf, found the moonstone, hey, did you know that he found the moonstone? And he didn't tell you? I guess even in love, he didn't really trust you. Poor guy."

"You have no idea what you've just done!" Katherine snarled.

"Awe, did I put a kink in your master plan? I'm so sorry."

Katherine laughed at that, "Do you honestly believe that I don't have a plan B? And if that fails a plan C, then a plan D, you know how the alphabet works, don't you? Mason may be dead, but there's another potential wolf in town. Send my love to Stefan." She hung up and the two Vampires and Siphon all looked at Mason as he stopped struggling, Katherine hadn't been upset at the news of his death at all, and what was worse, she insinuated that she was going to make Tyler activate his curse. How could she do that to him?

Maya watched the light dim in Mason's eyes, as he realised that Katherine didn't really love him, now she just needed to bring it home, and get the Werewolf to agree to go into hiding, before the ritual.

/ / /

Katherine snarled and threw her phone across the room, she didn't know what she was angrier at, herself for underestimating Damon and his little friends, Damon and his little friends for killing Mason, or Stefan, for sneaking out of town with her pathetic little shadow-self. She was going to make everyone suffer, but first, she needed to get herself a new Werewolf and then find a way to get her hands on the moonstone, well, Elena and Maya both had mothers that could be threatened…Katherine smirked, she knew exactly what she wanted to do.


Monday afternoon, Stefan and Elena called a meeting at the Boarding House, Alaric and Bonnie, were there, and Maya, Damon and Enzo joined them. "What is so important that you demanded that we come here right away?" Enzo asked.

"No one asked you to come," Elena said.

"It's all of us or none of us," Maya rolled her eyes. "Now what is it?"

Alaric held out a hand to stop Elena from snapping back, "We found out that Werewolves exist, and we think that Mason Lockwood is one."

Stefan eyed his brother with suspicion, he didn't look surprised at all, "But you already knew that, didn't you?"

Damon shrugged, "Well I've done a little more travelling than you Stef."

"Wait," Elena said, "If you knew what they were this whole time then why didn't you say anything?!"

"Because, I wanted to know what Katherine was doing with a Werewolf, especially because the bite of a wolf is lethal for a Vampire."

"That's true?" Alaric asked.

"Yeah, it's not a pretty way to go, there's no cure."

"Well did you find out?" Stefan asked impatiently.

"She was looking for this," Damon took the fake moonstone out of his pocket and tossed it to his brother, "It's a moonstone, Mason thought she wanted it to break some curse."

"The sun and the moon curse?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, I think so."

"What do you mean, Mason thought?" Stefan asked, looking at his brother, "Damon, what did you do?"

"Well, I couldn't just leave a Werewolf running around with Vampires in town, I don't have a death wish."

"You killed him?!" Elena exclaimed, "He was Tyler's uncle!"

"He was a threat," Enzo said.

"Ugh! You can't just kill anyone that you want!" Elena exclaimed to her cousin.

"I don't know why you're yelling at me, I didn't do it!"

"But you're okay with it!" Bonnie cut in, "You're a monster! Just like them!"

"Bonnie, if you want to be the kind of Witch that gets walked all over, that's your problem, but when someone hurts me, or mine, I protect them, and retaliate. If that makes me a monster to you, then you've never met a real monster."

Bonnie scowled, when she looked at Maya, she didn't see an ounce of goodness in her, was this what her grandmother meant when she said that all Siphons were abominations? Or was this because of her long association with Vampires? Her Grams had said that both of their kinds were an affront to nature, and that she shouldn't get mixed up in Vampire business, but she had, and it had cost her.

"What am I supposed to say to Tyler?" Elena asked.

"Nothing," Maya replied, "We texted Carol from Mason's phone, the Lockwoods think that he went back to Florida."


Rebekah and Kol watched as Caroline fed on someone, pulling back without needing them to stop her. "I've never seen such control in a baby Vampire before." Rebekah said.

"It's truly remarkable," Kol agreed, "You didn't have that kind of control for at least a century."

"You know I can hear you talking about me, right?" Caroline asked. Checking her makeup in a handheld mirror, and walking over to them. "And Damon said it's because everything I am is amplified, which is a neurotic control freak on crack."

Rebekah smirked, "He would say that."

"You guys promised that I could go back home once I proved that I was in perfect control, it's been weeks, I wanna go home! I miss my mom, and Maya!"

Kol bristled a little, "Are you sure that you don't just want to go back because you miss Damon and Enzo?"

Caroline rolled her eyes, "There's no need to be jealous Kol, maybe if you'd made the first move, then we would have gone hunting together." Caroline tossed her hair over her shoulder and walked off.

"Wh-Bu-She just-" Kol looked at Rebekah in shock. His sister shook her head, and chased after the younger blonde.


"Aunt Jenna!" Katherine said, catching up to Maya's mother as she walked up the driveway, "Can we talk?"

Jenna didn't stop moving, "What is it Elena?" she glanced at her niece, before unlocking her front door.

"I need to talk to you about Maya, can I come inside?"

Jenna's heart skipped a beat at that, she pushed the door open and stepped over the threshold, and turned around, looking at the woman who was pretending to be her niece. "I don't think so Elena." She needed to get away from the Vampire.

Katherine stepped forward and locked eyes with Jenna, "I'd really like to come in," she compelled.

Maya had told her that the protections on the house would stop enemy Vampires from getting in, no matter what, but she didn't want to chance it, "No can do Katherine."

Katherine pulled back, "You know who I am."

"My daughter and I have a very open relationship," Jenna said, taking a step away from the doorway.

Katherine scowled, she grabbed some rocks from the ground, "Let me in now, or I'll kill you."

"You can't get in without an invite, and I'm not giving you one!" Jenna ran her fingers over the bracelet that her daughter had given her, it was an early warning system, the moment she rubbed it, Maya would know that she was in trouble.

Katherine shrugged, "Don't say I didn't warn you." She threw the rocks straight for Jenna, but Maya's protection spell made them explode before they crossed the threshold, "What?" Katherine looked shocked, "What was that?!" she demanded.

"You think I don't know a Witch... Katerina."

"How do you know that name?" Katherine asked, feeling a sliver of fear run through her.

"I'm very good at research, and I know that you've been running for centuries," Jenna replied, her fist clenching, to stop herself from shaking in terror, "Unless you want me to call who you've been running from, you'll leave."

"You're lying, you don't know anything!"

"Finn, Rebekah, Kol, Elijah and Klaus," Jenna said, causing Katherine to take a step back, "You pissed off the Originals." Katherine whooshed away before she could finish her sentence.

/ / /

"Mom!" Maya yelled, running inside with Damon and Enzo, she'd felt her mother's distress call, and the boys rushed her home, "Mom!" She looked around their home frantically, and found Jenna on the couch in the living room, shaking. "Mom! What happened?" Maya raced over to her, dropping to her knees in front of her mother.

"Katherine was here," Jenna whispered.

"Oh my God!" Maya gasped, "Did she touch you?"

Enzo and Damon looked at each other for a moment, before flashing out of the room, whooshing all over the property, making sure that the doppelgänger was nowhere to be seen.

Jenna shook her head, "I got inside before she realised that I knew who she was."

Maya sighed in relief, "Okay, that's good, that's good!"

"Honey, I was scared, and I screwed up," Jenna said.

"What? What is it?"

"She kept trying to get in, and I didn't know how long it was going to take you to get here, so I- I said something."

"What? Mom, what?"

"I told her that I knew she'd been running from the Originals, she ran before I finished my sentence. I'm so sorry, I know you wanted to keep her in the dark about them, but I was afraid."

"Mom, Mom! Listen to me!" Maya grabbed her hands, "I don't care! It doesn't matter! You're safe, that's all that matters to me!"

"But your plan!"

"Is nothing compared to you! I'll get Katherine another way, as long as you're safe. I love you Mom, if anything happened to you, I don't know what I'd do! I'd probably destroy the town! Really it's a good thing you did what you did."

Jenna hugged her daughter, "Nothing's gonna happen to me."

"Not if I have anything to say about it." Maya stood, "You stay inside," and she turned to the guys, who'd just come back, "Can one of you get Aunt Liz and Jeremy? I don't wanna take any chances."

"We'll be back soon," Enzo said, and they both shot out of the house again.

"What are you gonna do?" Jenna asked.

"Move up my timeline, Katherine's not gonna leave without the moonstone, or Elena, she needs them both to be free from Nik."


The phone rang in the Gilbert home, and Miranda answered it, "Hello?"

"Give the phone to Elena, wait two minutes, then stab yourself with the carving knife," Katherine said.

"I understand." Miranda came over to Stefan and Elena, who were in the living room, "It's for you honey." She handed off the phone and went back into the kitchen.

"Hello?" Elena asked.

"Hello Elena."

"Katherine!" Elena's eyes widened, and Stefan stood up, tensing, in case the Vampire decided to show up at the house.

"You and your friends have something of mine."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play coy, the moonstone, I want it."

"I don't have it! Damon does!"

"Well you better get it from him," Katherine said, "And don't try to work against me, I will always be one step ahead of you."

"Katherine, I can't! Damon doesn't even like me!"

"Do you know how easy it was to get inside of your house? To replace your mother's vervain perfume? To stop her from drinking her special tea?"

"No, Katherine!"

"Your mother's been mine for days, and she actually listens to me, so when I suggested that the world we be a much better place if she just…"

Elena looked up at her mother, just in time to see her stab herself with a knife, "Mom! No!"

"Well, you get the idea."

Elena dropped the phone, and rushed to her mom, Stefan picked it up, "Katherine!"

"Next time, it's fatal, I want that moonstone Stefan. The Historical Society is meeting tomorrow for tea, meet me there, give me the moonstone, or this town will rain blood!"


"What is this place?" Mason asked, as Maya stopped her car in front of the largest mansion that he'd ever seen.

"C'mon," she said, getting out of the car.

Mason saw three people…no wolves, come out of the mansion, "Who's this?" Regina asked.

"This is Mason Lockwood," Maya replied, "Katherine wanted to use him as the Werewolf sacrifice."

"Wait what?!" Mason exclaimed.

"They'll tell you all about it, I don't have time," she looked at the Enforcers, "If Katherine sees him, she'll kill him, and then force his nephew to become the new sacrifice. Can you keep him safe? Just until Nik gets to town."

"What else?" Alexandra asked.

"And Mom said I can't kill him!" Maya admitted.

The wolves glanced at each other, before turning back to Maya and Mason, "How good are you with your hands?"

"Uh, I'm handy if that's what you mean," Mason said, still stuck on the whole, sacrifice thing.

"Fine," Regina sighed, "He can help finish the pack house."


"Katherine's demanding the moonstone," Stefan said from outside Maya's house, she wouldn't invite him inside, so he had to talk through an open window.

"So what?"

"She attacked your aunt!" Stefan said, "I know that your upset with her, but she's still Jeremy's mother!"

Maya sighed, "What did she say?"

"She wants us to meet her at the Historical Society's monthly tea- Look this would be much easier if I could talk to you inside!"

Maya rolled her eyes, "Fine, come in."

Stefan whooshed inside, "She said if we don't bring her the moonstone, then the town will rain blood."

"I'm not giving her the moonstone," Maya said.

"I don't think we should."

"No?" Damon said, "I'm surprised at you! I figured you'd do anything to keep your precious Elena safe."

"Giving Katherine what she wants won't keep Elena safe."

"So what'd you have in mind?" Maya asked.

"I want to kill her."
