Note:
Okay, the person who played Katherine had to leave the game, so Katherine will be stuck in hell for a little while. Now the gang just has to figure out what in the world is in Mary's head.
Please review if you've read any part of this story. Good or bad, all criticism is welcome (the good is just liked a wee bit more). I realize the story is getting quite long, but come on, there are two chapter stories out there with 60 some odd reviews, and sniff, we've only got what - 11...???

Bonnie dropped the things that were in her arms and fell to her knees covering her ears. Her head began to pound as Katherine's scream faded. Opening her eyes Bonnie blinked away tears of pain. 'Why just happened? Why did Katherine call out for help?' Looking down at the things she had dropped she checked everything and was relieved to find everything in one piece instead of many. Standing up on shaky legs she took a deep breath and bent to pick everything up.
Damon's hands shot to his own ears as a reflex when Katherine's cries echoed rather forcefully through his head. When the shout died off he looked at his brother. "Well that solves one problem." He pushed out with his own powers searching for Katherine, trying to find out what made her distressful cry. She couldn't have gotten far from the crypt since he left her and he should have been able to sense her. "She's gone." He knew that the others wouldn't have heard her, pathetic weaklings, and he decided not to explain it to them. He walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen where a crash had met his ears at the same time Katherine's call had entered his mind.
"I take it you heard it too." He said picking up the last remaining candle and handing it to Bonnie. He looked at her, his face a blank expressionless mask as usual.
Taking the candle with a somewhat shaky hand she nodded. "Yeah, my ears are still ringing." Looking briefly over his shoulder she looked at Meredith and Alaric as they reacquainted themselves with one another. Turning her attention back to Damon she smiled, holding the candle up a little with her free hand. "Thanks." Repositioning everything in her arms she tried to fit everything as snuggly as she could. "What was that scream about? That was Katherine wasn't it?" She briefly wondered if her sister hand any aspirin in her car, the after effects of the scream had left a dull, yet throbbing headache.
Matt had heard the crash come from downstairs at the same instant Damon had covered his ears. "What was that all about?" he asked out loud as Damon went downstairs after saying something to Stefan. 'Oh Bonnie's ok. That crash sounded kind of big.' Walking to the doorway he quickly made it down stairs and stopped on the bottom step of the stairs. He could here Bonnie and Damon talking about something and his eyes widened as he heard the name Katherine.
Damon nodded. "Yeah it was definitely Katherine. I sent a probe out after it stopped, and I can't feel her presence anywhere. I'm pretty sure she's gone for good." He looked over his shoulder at the staircase, hearing and smelling his even if he couldn't see him. "Care to join us, Matt?"
A frown tugged at Elena's lips as she felt something brush her mind, almost like a memory, but... not. And then she heard a crash, and Katherine's name was mentioned, which was enough to send a shiver down her spine. Her last encounter with Katherine had ended... well, that was something she didn't want to think about at the moment. Her lapis eyes lifted to Stefan, her head still resting on his shoulder.
"Should we go down with the others?" she asked, lifting a golden eyebrow. She knew that Bonnie was going to require him in her trancing, and she wanted to see it, to do anything she could to help, even if she didn't have psychic powers.
Stefan looked down into Elena's eyes and just stared a moment. She was so beautiful and he loved her so much. "Yes, let's go downstairs and see what everyone is doing. We really should get this thing started with Mary. I am not sure why, but I think that we need to do this soon. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen." With that, he held out his hand in order to allow Elena to go first downstairs. "Shall we?"
Elena looked up at him; into those green eyes she could get lost in, and nodded her head. "I think so to," she said, looking towards the door where the others had gone. "Something's going on." She knew that sounded silly, especially since she had no idea what was going on. But she just had a bad feeling about things. She slipped her hand into Stefan's so they could go down together, and headed out of the room, to join the others.
They heard Katherine's scream. They were torn. The stricken scream brought joy to aged misshapen thoughts. However, with Katherine went there prime game piece. Lucifer never had a firm grasp on the game and never quite liked playing fair. It didn't take their love of misery to win out.
A smile played about Mary's lips. A laugh danced in her throat. Her eyes were vacant once again. "The game is on," the odd echoing voice had returned to her lips. "Let's play."
Alaric looked down at the girl in his arms. "Oh, I love you so much Meredith. I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you are okay though". He kissed her back long and hard on the lips. He never realized until this happened, just how much he loved her.
Meredith appeared slightly befuddled at his outburst of emotions. "Alaric, I love you, too. I think I always have." Curling into his embrace, she said, "We need stop so I can help Bonnie. Cuz I don't have much longer before I could be a nonentity."
