Brooklyn was making herself ready for the memorial as Klaus walked into their room. "What are you getting ready for, love?"

"For the memorial." Brooklyn looked at Klaus. "I have told you that."

"Yeah, I know, but they tried to kill you, stabbed you in the leg and burned your friend's house down." Klaus listed list off. "Not to mention, they called our child a demon child." He looked at her. "So, I don't understand why you are going there?"

"Because, I want to see Elena, she a vampire now." Brooklyn replied to him. "I want to see how she doing and for the memorial, is for respect for the town people."

Klaus nodded to her. "You are not bringing Rose with you?"

"No, she stays here with you." Brooklyn replied to him.

"Diana is coming with you, then?" Klaus looked at her.

"Yes, she is." Brooklyn replied to him.

"Good, just in case something happens." Klaus looked at her.

"Nothing will happen, Nik. You worry too much." Brooklyn looked back at him as then she walked to her closet to grab a dress, she grabbed a black dress and black heels, also she grabbed a jacket. She put it all on as then Klaus looked at her. "What's wrong?" She asked to him.

"There is nothing wrong, you look beautiful, love." Klaus replied to her.

Brooklyn blushed. "Thanks, Nik." She looked at him. "Love you, Nik."

Klaus walked towards her. "I love you, too, sweetheart." Then he kissed her.

Then they pulled away as Brooklyn told to him. "I should be going."

Klaus nodded to her. "Be careful."

"Always." Brooklyn told to him as then she walked out of the room.

Brooklyn walked downstairs as then she sees Diana there. "Are you ready?" Brooklyn asked to her.

"Yes, I'm ready, and you?" Diana looked at her.

"Also ready." Brooklyn replied to her.

"Then, we can go, right?" Diana asked to her.

"Yeah." Brooklyn looked at her.

Then the girls walked out of the mansion, then they walked to Diana's car and they stepped in as then they drove away from there.

Brooklyn and Diana arrived at the church, they walked inside of it as then they see Elena and Matt. They watched them as Brooklyn listening in on them.

"How you feeling? You look a little, uh, strung out." Matt told to Elena.

"I'm fine." Elena told to him as she a memorials pamphlet on the bench. "It's just my emotions are all over the place. Everything is heightened. I mean just the sight of all the names of the dead makes me wanna cry for a week."

"You didn't have to volunteer." Matt looked at her.

"People died. People we've known our whole lives so yeah, I did." Elena told him as then she looked at a girl she recognized. "Is that?"

"April Young, yeah." Matt finished it for her.

"Oh, wow." Elena told to him as then she walked towards the girl.

Then Diana noticed Brooklyn listening in. "You are listening in?"

Brooklyn nodded to her. "Yeah, I am, now hush."

Diana just rolled her eyes as she let Brooklyn listening further in. Just then Elena arrived by April as she told to the girl. "Hey, there."

"Hey. Long time no see. Not since…" April trailed off.

"My parents' funeral." Elena finished the sentence.

"Yeah." April looked at her as then Elena pulled into a hug.

Then they went apart as then Elena asked to her. "Are you gonna survive this?"

"They want me to speak." April sighed. "I guess all the kids who lost somebody can. What am I supposed to say? "I'm sorry my dad didn't fix the gas line"? But if I don't say anything, then I mean, what if nobody does? My dad and I didn't always get along or anything but everybody deserves to have nice things said at their funeral, you know? I mean, for my mom's funeral, everybody said really nice things."

"You say what you wanna say, or you don't say anything at all." Elena reassured her. "And don't worry about your dad. Everyone in this town loved him."

"Yeah. Until two days ago." April voice creaked a little as Elena put her hand on her wrist.

"Even still." Elena told her as then she began feeling ill. "I'm sorry, I…" She stood up as then she said to April. "I have to go." Elena walked really fast away from there.

Then Brooklyn glanced at Diana. "I'm going to see how my sister is going."

"Yeah, go then." Diana told her.

Brooklyn nodded as then she went after her sister.

Brooklyn arrived by the bathroom as she heard her sister voice through the door. "Sorry, there's someone in here." Then she saw someone by the door.

Then Damon arrived as he knocked on the door as then he sees the man. "You again. Stalking small-town funerals?"

"Oh, Damon." Then Elena poked her head out, from the door. She grabbed the dress from Damon. "Thank God." Then she looked at the man. "Sorry, I spilled coffee all over my dress."

Brooklyn looked at her sister, concerned. "You okay, Elena?"

Elena nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." Then she closed the door.

"We have not met. I'm Connor Jordan." The man told them, holding his hand out.

Brooklyn looked at the man and shakes his hand. "Brooklyn Gilbert."

"Damon. Germaphobe." Damon told to him as then he called towards the door. "Everything okay in there?"

"Just a minute." Elena called back.

"So, what brings you to Mystic Falls? Bible salesman?" Damon asked to Connor.

He chuckled. "No, no, no. Actually, I'm in, uh, environmental cleanup. Heard you had a bit of a pollution problem."

"Well, I was unaware." Damon told him. "I breathe pretty easy."

"As do I." Brooklyn looked at Conner, she didn't trust him. "I breathe also pretty easy."

Then Elena walked out of the bathroom, with the stuff Damon had given her. "I'm so sorry that took so long." She looked at Connor.

"No problem." Conner told her.

"Well, enjoy your stay. We love visitors, and the scenery is to die for." Damon told to him as then he put his hand over his mouth. "Funeral pun. Too soon. Sorry." He told him.

Then Elena and Damon walked away from there as Brooklyn looked at him. "Well, enjoy your stay here." Then she also walked away from there.

Brooklyn joined Diana as then Diana asked to her. "Where were you?"

"By my sister, by the bathroom, Diana." Brooklyn replied to her. "She doesn't look very well."

"Okay." Diana looked at her.

Just then Elena walked into the church as then she sat by Matt and Jeremy. Brooklyn and Diana sat behind them. They all noticed that Elena looked pale as then Matt asked to her, concerned. "You okay?" She nodded.

"Hey, uh, April was looking for you. She wanted help with her speech." Jeremy told to Elena.

"Oh, where is she?" Elena asked to her brother.

"I don't know." Jeremy shrugged.

Just then Stefan walked in to the church as then he sees Tyler there. "What are you doing here?"

"Being sensitive to the community's loss." Tyler replied to him.

"With a hunter out to get you?" Stefan asked.

"I'm not letting a hunter stop me." Tyler glanced at him.

"Also, if he shows his face, I'm going to kick his ass." Caroline comment.

Then Stefan walked away from them and found himself a seat as then the Mayor spoke up. "Before we begin mass, we'd like to open the floor to anyone who would like to share a memory about our late friends on the town council. I know that April Young wanted to say a few words about her dad. Uh, April? April, are you still here, honey? Is there anyone else who would like to share a recollection or a memory about Pastor Young?" Then Elena stood up. "Come on up, Elena."

Then Damon walked into the church. "Don't know why that always makes me smile." Then he sat next to Stefan. "She doesn't look so good."

"You should have told me she was rejecting all food sources." Stefan told him.

"Jealousy is beneath you, brother." Damon comment.

"Oh, bite me." Stefan comment.

Then Elena spoke up. "I, um When I talked to April earlier, she was kind of nervous about coming up to speak and now I'm up here, I'm kind of nervous too. The worst day of loving someone is the day that you lose them."

"Do you smell that?" Caroline asked.

"Blood." Tyler replied to her.

"Nobody move. Don't turn around, it's a trap." Damon warned them.

"I, um…" Elena started to breath heavily.

Just then Stefan walked to her as he let down the stairs and back to their seats. "It's okay, it's okay. I got you, I got you."

The priest walked up the podium and spoke up. "Please turn to page 42 in your hymn book. Let us join together in song."

"The blood. Stefan, the blood, I can smell it." Elena whispered to Stefan. "There's so much."

"It's all right, just remember what we talked about." Stefan told to Elena. "Focus. Push back. Come on, you can do this."

Then Matt asked to them. "What's wrong with her?"

"She's hungry, she hasn't fed." Stefan replied to him.

"So get her out of here." Matt told to him.

"There's somebody watching us." Stefan told to him.

"I'm gonna go rip his head off now." Damon whispered, but Brooklyn still hear it, because of her wolf hearing.

"You do that, and you risk exposing all of us." Stefan warned him.

"I think the risk will be slightly diminished when I, you know, rip his head off." Damon comment.

"Stefan, I'm losing it." Elena warned him.

"You have 10 seconds before I go old-fashioned on the new guy." Damon told them.

"Don't do it, Damon, please." Stefan told him.

"Three, two, one, bye." Damon told them as then he wanted to leave, but Matt interrupted them.

"Wait, wait, wait. Elena, feed from me." Matt offered. "It's okay, everyone will think you're upset. Just feed from me. It's okay. You're okay. I'm here."

Then Elena started finding on Matt as then she was done. "Thank you." She thanked him. "The blood, I can still smell it. It's gotta be April. We have to help her."

"Elena, we can't risk it." Stefan warned her.

"Then I'm gonna do it." Elena told him, stubbornly.

Then Tyler walked to the podium as then he spoke up. "Excuse me I just wanted to say a few words about Pastor Young."

"What do we do?" Elena asked as then they all sat back into their seats.

"Back in first grade, I was a brat who couldn't be bothered with team sports. Didn't care much about anything that didn't affect me." Tyler talked. "But he made me understand how important it is to be part of a team. A community. Giving yourself up for the sake of…" Then he was shot as the people started to panic and started to the church.

The others rushed forwards to him. The mayor was first by him as she gasped. "Tyler! Oh, my God."

Then Elena, Brooklyn, Diana, Caroline and Stefan were also by them. Caroline pulled out the stick as Tyler gasped and coughed. "I'm gonna kill that bastard."

"Damon is way ahead of you. Stay here, I have to help." Stefan told them.

"What about April?" Elena asked to him.

"I got it." Caroline told to Stefan. "Go." He leaves them to find Damon.

"I have to call an ambulance." The mayor told them.

"No, he's fine." Caroline reassured her as Elena also leaves.

"The whole town just watched you get shot. I'm calling an ambulance." The mayor walked away from there.

Caroline looked as then she was no Elena. "Elena?"

Then Brooklyn also looked as she saw not her sister. "Oh, for god sakes!"

Brooklyn looked at Caroline. "Were are going help the other people." She glanced at Diana.

"And I'm going to find Elena." Caroline told them as then she leaves.

Then Brooklyn and Diana helped the other people to get out of the church. When everyone was out of the church, they go to the mansion.

Shortly, they arrived by the mansion. They walked inside of it as then Brooklyn spoke up. "The memorial did go differently, than planned."

"Someone shot Tyler." Diana revealed.

Klaus used his vampire speed to get to Brooklyn, checking her if she wasn't injured. Brooklyn noticed this as she told to him. "I'm okay, Nik."

Then Diana leaves the room, letting them talk as Klaus told to Brooklyn. "But you could have been hurt as well."

"But I'm not, Nik. I'm okay." Brooklyn reassured him, then she looked at him. "But, uh, there is someone new to this town and his name is Connor Jordan. I have a weird feeling about the guy."

"How so?" Klaus asked curious.

"I don't trust the guy, he could be the guy that shot Tyler." Brooklyn still looked at him. "Then he can shot more of us."

"I will protect our family. I will even protect Diana if you asked." Klaus told her seriously.

Brooklyn nodded to him. "Thank you, Nik."

Then they kissed.
