I walked into the Salvatore house and up to Stefan's room to see Damon, Stefan, Elena and Katherine.
"Hey. I see Katherine got out." I said hugging the older vampire with a smile on my face.
"Hey Nikky." she greeted me while the others gave me a look.
"What is she doing here?" Elena asked pointing at Katherine.
"When you killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed her from the tomb." I told her.
"How's that possible?" Stefan asked me.
"He's an Original. They have all sorts of special skills." Katherine told them.
"I don't want you here. Get her out of here." Elena ordered the boys.
"I want her here." I said. "We need her, Elena. We all do."
"Like hell." Stefan told me.
"We all want the same thing... Klaus dead." I looked down to the floor then looked up at her to see her looking at me from the corner of her eyes. "Yet here you all are, running around like chickens with their heads cut off."
"I don't need your help and I don't want it." Elena told her. "Neither of us do." Elena looked to me and gave me a look.
"And that's incredibly stupid of you. Do you know where Klaus is? When he's coming, what he looks like?" Katherine said looking at them. "Nicole and I do."
"If you know something, say it or get out." Damon told her.
"Fine. Then I'll just go to the grill and have some lunch... maybe Aunt Jenna's free for a bite." Katherine said walking out of the room giving me a look. We'd talk later.
Katherine and I were at the Salvatore house trying to help Damon find the witch site. We walked down to the cellar to see Damon trying to burn Elijah's body, failing.
"Mmm, burning flesh. If you're trying to get the dagger back, you're wasting your time. He's indestructible." I told him.
"No kidding. How do you two know so much about Original vampires?" Damon asked turning to us.
"I spent 500 years running from one and Nicole learned everything from me." Katherine told him.
"So when I told you my plan to kill Elijah, why didn't you warn me that I'd die if I used the dagger on him?" I looked at Katherine for her answer.
"Oh, there's so many rules. It's all very confusing." She told him.
"I didn't know you were going to try and kill him, so don't bitch to me." I told him.
"Did you know I would die?" he asked Katherine and she avoided the question.
"Did Elijah tell you his plan? Did he have a dagger to kill Klaus with?" she asked him.
"Why are you still here?" Damon asked her.
"Because you haven't forcibly removed her and I want her here." I told him and he held his torch, threatening to burn her.
"You wouldn't." she said.
"Oh, I would." he told her.
"Damon, be smart. I want Klaus dead just as much as you do. More. If I wasn't be honest about helping, I'd be long gone by now, ok? You can hate me. But we want the same thing. And you know... I always get what I want." she reminded him as we turned to leave. "I wanted out of the tomb, didn't matter who paid the price. Of course I knew that you'd die." she called back to him.
I watched Damon organize Jonathan Gilbert's journals when Katherine joined us.
"What you up to?" Katherine asked him.
"None of your business." Damon said before I could say anything.
"We're pouting now? Are those the Gilbert journals?" she asked and he never answered. She looked to me and I nodded at her. "How am I supposed to help you if you won't tell me what you're up to?"
"Can you tell me where a bunch of witches were massacred in this town a couple centuries ago?" Damon asked her.
"No." she told him.
"Then you can't help." He told her. She tried to pick up on of the journals but he slapped her hand away. She his his arm and he used his speed to push her on a chair laying above her.
"If it's any consolation, I'm glad that you're not dead." she told him and they got up. "Emily Bennett told me about the massacre. It was a big deal in witch folklore. When a witch dies violently, they release a mystical energy marking the place of their death with power."
"Elijah wanted to know the site of the massacre." I told her.
"What was he going to do when he found it?" Katherine asked.
"We don't know. What did papa witch and baby witch have to say?" Damon said and I looked behind them to see Stefan.
"Isn't she gone or dead yet?" Stefan asked looking at Katherine.
"For the last time, I'm here to help. Can we skip the secrets, hmm?" she asked looking at the two of them.
"Elijah had no weapon to kill Klaus but he believed that if a witch could channel enough power... They wouldn't need one." Stefan told us.
"Like the power you get from a spot marked with a hundred dead witches?" Damon asked and his brother nodded.
"Now we just need to find it." I told them.
I walked into the house to see Elena, Bonnie and Care in the kitchen ready for girls night.
"Hey." I greeted them.
"Hey, where have you been?" Elena asked me.
"The Salvatore place with Damon and Katherine trying to find the massacre site.
"Chinese food or pizza?" Care asked us.
"Like you have to ask." I told her smiling.
"I will get it." Care told us. She took her iPad and paused on the home screen.
"I'll do it." Bonnie told her and took the iPad. I looked at the device to see a picture of her and Matt together and understood why she froze.
"Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?" Elena asked Bonnie.
"I don't know what to believe. I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust." Bonnie told us.
"Join the club." Elena said and I raised my soda in the air for agreement.
"Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation? What about "The Notebook"?" Care asked us.
"Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?" I asked her laughing lightly.
"That is so not the point." Care told me.
"Well, yeah, I mean..." I stopped talking when I saw Jenna come into the kitchen.
"Hey." Elena greeted.
"What's going on?" Jenna asked us.
"Girls' night." I told her.
"Oh." Jenna said.
"How are you doing?" Elena asked her.
"You heard about my fight with Rick." Jenna said and I looked at them confused.
"He feels terrible." Elena told her.
"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?" Jenna asked and we all looked at each other.
"No. No, this is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or..." Elena said and I interrupted her.
"Because I am a winner when it comes to successful relationships." I said.
"You, too?" Jenna asked joining us into the kitchen.
"You have no idea." I told her.
"Ok, then." she said opening the fridge. "It's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me."
"To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you. Maybe he is just trying to protect you." Care told her.
"Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does." Jenna said and I glanced at Elena.
"Sometimes it's harder than that." Care told her.
"Not if it's somebody you care about, it isn't." Jenna said.
"You know what we need? Dancing. There is a band at the grill." Care told us and we all thought about it.
"I'm in." Bonnie said.
"In." Jenna said.
"In." Elena said and they all turned to me.
"Why not? I'm in." I told them.
The five of us were enjoying the band when Jenna started walking away.
"I need a drink." she told us. I looked to see Ric walking to her.
"Hey, Matt." Care said but he didn't answer her and continued walking.
"Things just got real awkward." Bonnie said to the two of us.
"He said the ball's in your court" Bonnie reminded Caroline.
"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it." Care told us.
"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him." Bonnie told her.
"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets." Care reminded us.
"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna and maybe that's our mistake. We're trying to protect the people that we love by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway." I said to them. Care took off her jacket and gave it to us, going to the stage.
"What are you doing? Where are you going?" Elena asked her. Care just hoped on stage and took the microphone.
"Hey, everybody. Let's hear it for the band! Weren't they awesome? So there's this guy. And, uh, he told me to tell him how I feel about him. Like it's so easy. Um, you know, just 'cause I talk a lot doesn't mean I always know what I'm actually talking about. Ah, like now, I'm feeling loopy and I don't really know how to express myself. I can sing. Yeah! Yeah. You know what, I'm going to sing." Care said to everyone.
"Sing?" Elena asked looking at us. She said something to the singer then started singing Eternal Flame for Matt. Matt joined her at the end of the song and kissed her. Everyone cheered and laughed, happy for the couple.
Elena and I were laughing and talking when she walked into the bathroom. She quickly hid her eyes and backed away.
"Ahh! Oh, sorry."
"Sorry Elena!" I heard Caroline say. My eyes widened and we laughed walking away. We saw Bonnie going to the bathroom and we stopped her.
"I wouldn't. Caroline and Matt are having a party of their own." I told her smiling.
"In the bathroom?!" she asked us.
"If they're happy, I'm happy." Elena told her.
"Um, hey, speaking of happy, would it freak you out if I started dating your brother?" Bonnie asked us. I looked at her in shock at the news.
"You're into our brother?" I asked her.
"I know it's weird, but he's been so good and strong. He makes me happy and I really can't tell what you're thinking... Right now." Bonnie said looking at our faces.
"I'm thinking that... My brother has had more pain in his life than a hundred people's worth of pain, and... He deserves to be with someone as amazing as you." Elena told her and we smiled.
"Really?" Bonnie asked looking relieved.
"Really." I told her. we all hugged each other and Elena's phone rang.
"My phone. Hey, Stefan, I'm at the grill. I can't hear you. Hold... yeah." Elena left and I walked away from Bonnie to talk to people. I heard my phone go off and I looked at the message.
Luka is dead and Jonas wants revenge. Get out now.
K
Elena and Stefan found me and we ran into the bathroom after Matt left Care alone.
"Hey." Care said smiling at us.
"We have a problem." I told her.
"What's going on?" Care asked.
"Jonas is here and he's after Elena and Nicole." Stefan told her.
"Oh, my God!" She said shocked.
"We have a plan, but I need to get them out of here." Stefan said.
"Well, what can I do?" Care asked and we told her the plan.
"Dr. Martin! I'm so sorry about Luka. I never wanted that to happen, but... at least let us help you get your daughter back." Elena begged as we saw him on our way out.
"Only Elijah can do that." Jonas told us.
"You don't need Elijah." I told him. He used his magic to set fire to another bar and turned to us. I saw Care jump on him and the three of us ran out of the building.
We walked into our house to see Bonnie and Jeremy at the table.
"Thank God." Bonnie said getting up and walking to us.
"It's not over yet." Elena said.
"What's going on?" Jeremy asked us.
"He'll explain." I said as Elena and I went upstairs. we walked to the bathroom and saw Jonas behind us. He caught me but Elena's faced changed and she bite him. He fell to the floor as Bonnie and Stefan came in.
"You're welcome." Katherine said holding my hand.
"You didn't have to kill him!" Bonnie said as she walked closer to him.
"Yes, we did." I told her. She bent down and touched his face but suddenly he got up and grabbed her face. She screamed and Stefan snapped his neck. We all walked downstairs to see Elena and Damon waiting for us.
"Everything's taken care of." Stefan told them. Katherine pulled off Elena's necklace and held it out to her.
"I'm guessing you're going to want this back. But your pretty little outfit is going to need a good dry clean." Elena took the necklace from Katherine and turned to Stefan.
"You're going to have to get her out of here before Jenna gets home." Elena said.
"Is that all you have to say to me?" Katherine asked her.
"This doesn't change the way I feel about you." Elena told her.
"I don't much like you, either, if we're going to be open and frankly, I'd be happy to see you dead but if we're going to try to take on Klaus, we kinda need you to be alive. So I'm not a threat to you, Elena. If any of you are going to believe anything, believe that." Katherine said before she and the boys went through the back. Not long after they left Jenna walked in.
"Hey. You made it home." I said smiling.
"Tonight was very weird." Jenna told us.
"Tell me about it." Elena told her.
I walked into the kitchen with Elena behind me to see Jenna eating ice cream.
"Are John and Jeremy asleep?" Jenna asked us.
"I think so." I told her.
"If I go to bed right now, there's a chance I'll wake up hangover-free." Jenna said and I laughed lightly when the door bell rang. "Who's that?" she asked. She went to the door and opened it to reveal Isobel.
"Hi. You must be Jenna." Isobel said smiling. "I'm... Elena and Nicole's mother." she said looking at the two of us.
"Isobel." Elena said shocked while Jenna looked from us to Isobel.
