"Wow that's kinda genius." I say out loud in small admiration of the evil deed Lily has committed.
"You're not serious." Damon spat.
"What? I'm just saying it was smart, to alter the news and make it a virus so that when they die she can blame it on that and never even be attached to it. She's only been here what 2 months and she's figured out how things work. I'm just saying none of you, have ever thought of this even when you were "evil"." And just like that I no longer had any friends in the room, shit where is Klaus when you need him he would have understood.
"Bon, get her out of here!" Damon screams like a child, really it left my ears ringing.
"What is wrong with you?" I ask this boy acts like some deranged wild animal.
"No, what is wrong with you? Calling my mother a genius." He was getting real close to invading my personal bubble.
"First things first, I never called your mother a genius. I said the plan was kinda genius. I'm a fan of good craftsmanship, wherever I find it. And can we please address the fact that you seem to be more mad at the fact that you thought I called your mother a genius, then the fact that I said a plan that involved massacring a bunch of kids was sorta genius." I cross my arms but let's be for real everyone in this room knows damn well Damon doesn't care about strangers or casualties if it doesn't affect him, this is why he doesn't have hero hair he's got a mop on his head that he calls hair.
"So you want those kids to die?" Caroline asks.
"God, no. What the fuck? I am not that morbid!" Jesus what they think I am, Satan.
"Well right now, Catia, it's looking like they're going to die." Bonnie scowls as she grabs her hair not sure what to do.
"These kids aren't going to die, just because two dudes are tied up here. Like, what are the rest of us, useless?" I point out, shit what happened to good old fashioned girl power.
"She has a point. Damon and I may not be able to do anything but Bonnie, you and Caroline can still stop them." Stefan says and I cough obnoxiously.
"And Catia you as well." I smile as I toss my hair to the side, I mean I didn't get this hero hair for nothing.
"Well Ladies we heard him let's hit the road, and save the day." I say as I march to the front door, awaiting for my ladies to follow suit. It took them awhile to register what was happening but by the time I stepped outside they were right behind me, or at least that's what I thought.
"Catia we have a problem." I hear Care grunt.
"What is my hair messed up?" I say as I instantly go to run my fingers through the back of my head.
"No we have an actual serious problem." Bonnie strains in anguish as I turn around to argue how serious a hair malfunction is. In fact so serious it can detract from a scene, cough cough RIP Bonnie's old wigs. But instead I'm greeted with two women who look like they're stuck behind glass.
"No! NO! NO!" I say as I try to yank the girls out.
"Stop it's useless, it looks like our mother not only hexed us in but them as well." Stefan clarifies as he grabs the bridge of his nose.
"She probably trapped all magical entities inside the house so that they could not stop her, which is why Catia was able to leave." Bonnie points out as she rubs her temple.
"Shit-" I start.
"Don't you fucking say it." Damon interrupts.
"Say what?" I ask how could he possibly know what I was gonna say next.
"That my mother's a genius."
"That's not what I was gonna say."
"Oh."
"Yeah before I was rudely interrupted I was gonna say, "Shit, those kids are totally gonna die!" I scream. Yeah I mean right now this rescue team consists of me and only me.
"Two seconds ago, you said these kids were gonna live." Damon replys like an idiot.
"Yeah two seconds ago I had a pack of badass bitches behind me and now they're stuck in there. Which totally changes the plan!" My nerves are most definitely getting to me.
"We never had a plan!" Bonnie yells as we all start to freak out.
"True! But I planned on winging it! Because I was feeling pretty confident with a witch and a vampire on my side!"
"We are still on your side!" Care explains.
"I know that! But you're on that side of the door. I mean you are trapped as in you can not get out!" I say as I scratch my neck in anxiety.
"Thank you we are well aware, that we are trapped!" Damon screams through his teeth.
"But c'mon you have to admit that this plan was pretty smart and well thought out. I mean hexing all of you was pretty genius." I admit as I once again admire the craftsmanship of the other team.
"What did I tell-" Damon as he begins to charges through the door in what I'm sure was an attempt to strangle me but the magical barrier catapulted him into the back wall and it was a satisfying crash to hear. Oh, I couldn't help the cackle that left my body, this boy really is an idiot. Also didn't we agree he will not put his hands on me. Charma is a bitch which only made me laugh more. But I know damn well if no one stops me now, this laughing was gonna turn into crying real fast.
"Catia that's enough." Bon tells me.
"Is it? Because… those kids are gonna… die. It's laugh or cry." I say in between fits of laughter and sure enough by the end of it I was seconds away from crying, as I slide my ass on to the floor.
"They're not going to die, we just need a plan as good as theirs." Stefan speaks for the first time in a long time.
"Stefan I don't know why people don't think you're a riot, because I think you're hilarious. Lol a plan as good as theirs." I chuckle I am tired I had officially gone through like every emotion in the past 3 minutes.
"Are you saying, that you can't think of a better plan?" Stefan asks in attempt to coax me as he crouched down in the doorway to reach my level.
"That's not what I said. What I'm saying is that even if we made up an excellent plan, we still don't have the man power to execute it." I sigh.
"Think of it like a TV show, the villain has to have one flaw in their plan. At least one, there always is." Bonnie says, it was clear she was grasping at straws. Until it clicked in my head.
"TV show? Yes that's exactly what this. A TV show and not even a good one at that. I mean things go horribly wrong all the time but that's because it usually lacks logic and everyone has their own motives. But I'm here now, and I can do this!" I say as I get up from the floor and Stefan smirked at my sudden confidence.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Damon asks and I completely ignore him as I re-enter the house and walk back to the tv screen, scanning the news for a flaw. No kids were shown meaning they were already probably trapped inside.
"Caroline draw me a blueprint of the high school." I tell her knowing full well she would have full knowledge of the school grounds.
"Bonnie do we have anyone on the inside any underclassmen you guys were cool with…. that are still alive?" I tack on the end because everyone dies here. And I could tell Bonnie was thinking hard.
"April Young." Stefan replies. Good answer.
"Now who has her number?" I ask around still not taking my eyes from the screen looking for a sign other than the news reporter that was clearly ranting away about something she knew nothing about really the whole scene looked fake it wasn't properly executed.
"If this is a virus, where are the ambulance? The people in hazmat suits?" I ask with a smile on my face.
"They probably didn't want to compel all those people." Damon states.
"Exactly so that's our in. Now we need an ambulance, it would really help if I had at least one vampire handy to compel people. Looks like I'm gonna have to steal one. Text April ask her to give us the deets under the pretense of the virus. Get me Matt Donovan on the phone."
"Ok so you found a way in, then what?" Damon asks skeptically.
"Well I was thinking we get Matt in under the pretense of medical examiner and we create a diversion while getting all the kids out." I smile not that hard.
"Sounds great but what's the diversion and what happens if they catch on before you can get them all out? You'll perish along with the rest of them. You know that's not that bad at all. I say go forward with your plan." He smirks as usual, that piece of shit.
"You realize no one finds you funny, right?" I say as I step closer to him, he was testing me.
"Damon if you're just going to be an ass, then just leave the room." Bonnie tells him and I'm glad she did because I was ready to beat his ass.
"Oh, come on. Really? You don't actually think she can pull this off?" Damon looks around incredulously I just wanted to know what the hell his problem with me was.
"In case you haven't noticed, she's all we've got." Caroline says tired of his idiocracy.
"And so far she's come up with more of a plan than we have." Stefan also adds on.
"Thanks now show me that blueprint." I say as I step near Caroline and examine her handy work.
"No problem and I texted April she said she's getting medicated at the gym."
"Could you ask her how many kids are there?"
"Bonnie what's the extent of your magic? Can you do things without actually being there, like let's say seal off a school from magical entities? Stefan is the water system still laced with vervain? I need variables and ideas are welcome right now." I ask I mean we are short on time so we need to work fast here, people lives are in danger.
"I don't know I've never done it before." Bonnie replies, as I had figured.
"Well are you up for it today?" I ask.
"Do I have a choice?" She answers with a dry snort.
"Yes, you always have a choice if it's too much strain then we stop." I tell her and she's stunned that someone actually cares about her well being I know so crazy right. That Bonnie the girl who saves everyone lives no one stops for a second to think about hers. Well not anymore.
"Um I will try my best." She responds just a little shaken.
"Good, but if at any point it's to much, I want you to stop. I don't care the scenario, stop. Just give everyone a heads up, am I understood?" I want her to understand that under no circumstances does she put her life or magic in danger.
"Yes." She responds still in shock.
"Good, now I'll work on getting you a visual so that you can have a better grasp of what you have to do. Stefan, the water system?"
"Yes the vervain is still intact but it's still on a back up system, that would have to be turned on in the boiler room." Stefan states and I swear I could see a twinkle in his eye.
"So..I need to get to the boiler room and Matt causes the distraction. I want the distraction to be a fire but I would have to be quick enough to get to the boiler room and change the system before someone pulls the fire alarm, thus calling the fire department which will help get the kids out, while Bonnie seals the heretics in. But who's gonna stop the reporters from saying there is a mass outbreak, I still need a vampire." Shit my plan was practically perfect, but I still needed the power of compulsion.
"Enzo." I state as his face popped clear into my head.
"No! Absolutely not he's a traitor." Caroline was quick to retaliate as if we had the time to argue.
"He's the only option plus I think he was trying to warn us about exactly this when you refused to hear him out earlier today."
"No that had nothing to do with this."
"Are you sure? Because he said it was urgent and he seemed kinda off."
"Oh my god you're right, but you don't think he was actually trying to warn us about this?"
"Yes, yes I do. Like it's pretty damn obvious the boy was on the fence about this and you just pushed him back to the other side." I told her and I could tell she was on the verge of having a bitch fit.
"Don't start to freak out just give me his number, and how we doing on Donovan?"
"See and you didn't think you could come up with a plan." Stefan says with a rise of his brow and a folding of his arms.
"Hold up we have yet to see the little ladyboy's plan in action, it might just all come crashing down."
"Shut up Damon." Everyone says simultaneously and his smirk vanishes.
"Now who has a small camera and wireless headphones."
"What for?" Stefan asks.
"So that you guys can have visuals of what I'm doing and can coach me through this." They'll be my coach and I'll be there eye and ears.
"Damon has 2 GoPros and I have wireless headphones we can watch the feed on our phones so that we can follow them." Bonnie offers and it's perfect, now all I need is an ambulance.
"What? I just got those!" Damon whines and Bonnie gives him the look of death and finally accepts defeat as he goes upstairs to what I presume is to get the cameras and Bonnie turns to fish out her headphones and put them around my neck and under my hair. We we're doing great. Now to get this ambulance? My thoughts are quickly interrupted when I hear a knock on the door.
