They emerged from the woods and made way for the boarding house. They made their way with Stefan and Damon glancing back towards the forest to see if anyone was following them, mainly Bonnie. They had made it. They reached the boarding house and entered it without Bonnie knowing. They were dripping wet. They each took their turn to change into something that was dry and Elena took a shower to clean herself off.

When they were done they sat around Stefan. Each taking a seat on whatever they saw fit.

Elena was looking at the floor as she broke the silence that was in the room. "I can't believe it. And she had been our friend for so long."

Meredith responded, "Yeah. This shouldn't happen. Things shouldn't be this way. We let her into our group." Meredith shook her head in shame.

Caroline patted Meredith on the back. Slightly whispering "It's okay. None of us knew."

Matt had taken a seat on the floor near the bed where Elena and Stefan had taken their place beside each other. He had one knee propped up and his arm on it with his hand at his face. "I can't believe we didn't see it before. And I almost fell for her. I almost fell in love with her." Matt shut his eyes in shame.

"I had kissed her, twice. You didn't have to go through that did you." Asked Damon as he looked at Matt with a slight smile on his lips.

Matt gave a little chuckle, "Ya, your right. I didn't. That was you being stupid Damon."

"Hey, don't push it human. I still have strength over you." Snapped Damon.

"Don't be bitter Damon." Said Stefan slightly taking in the amusement of the moment.

"Don't you start laughing at me too little brother." Said Damon as he glared at Stefan.

"What I don't understand is how three vampires were not able to see this earlier." Said Meredith.

Both Caroline and Matt nodded in agreement.

"Uh, well, we were preoccupied. Its not like we stuck around and just starred at Bonnie all day when we had nothing better to do." responded Stefan still in deep thought.

"Yeah, don't be a jerk Meredith. Everyone was having a rough time. Its not like you saw it before Caroline realized. The only smart one here is Caroline. She saw what really happened." Said Elena.

Damon saw Stefan trying to work out the calculations in his head. "Stop trying to think about it Stefan. Just leave it."

"But I'm trying to think if maybe, just maybe I had been able to see it before and just ignored it." Said Stefan.

Elena put her hand on his arm, "Damon's right. Just leave it at that. Now that we know we don't need to keep thinking about it."

Caroline had been quiet throughout most of the conversation at this part. "Well, I didn't realize until she stood up behind the bush where Matt, Meredith, and she was hiding behind. I reckon that's the only reason why Klaus even threw that lightening at you guys. He wasn't aiming at you guys. He was aiming it at her, to get Bonnie."

Matt and Meredith thought it over. "Then why hadn't he killed her when he had the chance to when she was blocking Stefan?" asked Matt.

Caroline shrugged, "How am I supposed to know?"

Stefan cut in, "He did. He wanted to kill her then but then I guess Klaus realized that it would be a waste of his furry. I bet he was going to kill her after he was through with me."

"Well its settled then. We have to get rid of her. I mean, its not like we can have that-that THING running around alive." Said Damon.

They all nodded in agreement. Stefan got up and grabbed a stake on the dresser table beside his bed.

"We're killing a human. Not a vampire little brother." Said Damon.

"I know but did YOU want to be the one to suck her blood? Cause if you do then feel free." And Stefan dropped the stake he was holding back on the dresser table.

Damon's eyes widened, "Uh, I guess taking the stake with us wouldn't hurt."
