Elena's POV
As I continued to pace back and forth out of both concern and guilt over what might happen to Sam due to me spilling everything to Klaus. Alaric and Matt try their hardest to console me but to no avail. I mean because of me Klaus now knew that Esther and Finn had cooked up yet another plan in hopes of raiding the world of the Originals, and if that wasn't bad enough Klaus also knows that Samantha is the key to Esther's plans.
"Elena listen to me ok, there was nothing else you could have done. If you hadn't had told Klaus me or Matt would be dead right now." Pointed out Ric
"Don't you think I know that Ric, but that doesn't change the fact that I sold out Samantha in order to save the both of you. What does that say about me? I mean Tyler went as far as leaving town to keep Samantha's secre…." I abruptly ended, unable to finish my rant as I suddenly remembered that I still hadn't called Caroline and told her about Tyler leaving Mystic Falls. "Oh my god, Caroline." I muttered in a defeated tone
"Hey if you want Elena, I can call Caroline and tell her about Tyler." Offered Matt
As I peered into my ex's eyes I just shook my head no, "I have to do it." I pointed out. And so with that I pulled out my phone and headed off towards the kitchen, contemplating with every step just how I was going to get Caroline to be ok with Tyler's decision to leave Mystic Falls.

3rd POV
Back in Arlington Stefan, Damon, and Elijah individually continued their search for the youngest member of the Salvatore family.
Then just when all seemed lost the eldest Salvatore randomly found himself stumbling upon two witches just standing around in open chanting some kind of ridiculous incantation. With curiosity now getting the better of him Damon continued to hide along the shadows of an adjacent building as he began using his advance vampire hearing to spy on the unsuspecting witches.
"Phasmatos Invisique Tribum Nas Sequita Saquines Ementas Asten Mihan Ega Petous" chanted the witches.
And after a few minutes of watching the witches chant on with no significant outcome Damon had finally decided to carry on with his search of Samantha, when just as he was about to turn and walk away the impossible happened. A house miraculously materialized just a few feet from where the chanting witches were standing.
"Well what do we have here?" muttered Damon to himself. Though still in awe of what he had just witnessed the eldest Salvatore wasted no time at all in texting both Stefan and Elijah his present location. And so with that now out of the way Damon Salvatore went back to eavesdropping on the unsuspecting witches.
"Well when you're right you're right Nicky." Smiled the other witch
"Yes well what can I say I'm gifted." Responded Nicky
"So she's in there then, the Deva?" asked the younger witch
"Yea she's in there alright, and she's not alone. I sense at least one other witch and a powerful one at that. Call the others, if we're to capture the Deva we're going to need the power of the coven." Stated Nicky. "Alyssa, Alyssa did you hear what I said?" asked Nicky just seconds before turning to face her fellow witch, but upon turning around Nicky wasn't greeted by the naïve smile of her sister Alyssa. No instead she was greeted by the sight of Alyssa bleeding from the mouth as the hand of another stuck out from her chest.
"Alyssa!" screamed Nicky
Finished with Alyssa, Damon releases his grip on the now deceased witch allowing for her lifeless body to collapse onto the floor under the weight of gravity.
"Sorry, guess her heart just wasn't in it." taunted Damon as he stood before Nicky with Alyssa's heart firmly grasped in the palm of his hand. "Oh well, next victim." Said Damon as he callously tossed Alyssa's heart aside just seconds before vamp speeding after Nicky.
Unable to fully grieve for the lost of her sister due to Damon's unrelenting advancement a now vengeful Nicky quickly extends her left hand out in Damon's general direction. Channeling her power of pain infliction to render the eldest Salvatore immobile.
Almost immediately after vamp speeding towards Nicky, Damon was abruptly pulled out of vamp speed due to the unbearable and overwhelming pain being inflicted on him by the vengeful witch. Now on his knees groaning in pain Damon fights to remain conscious.
Nicky slowly began approaching Damon and as she did she relished in the eldest Salvatore's agony. Now only a few feet away from a suffering Damon, Nicky was now gearing for the finishing blow when out of nowhere Elijah suddenly appears behind her and snaps her neck.
"What took you so long?" asked Damon as he slowly got back on his feet.
"You do realize that this is now the third time I've saved your life, and yet instead of showing gratitude you hide behind your snarky comments and condescending tone." Pointed Elijah as he then took the white handkerchief from his top breast pocket and began wiping his hands.
"Thank you, happy now?" asked an overly sarcastic Damon
"Hey how about you two stop your fighting and we get back to saving Samantha?" asked a semi annoyed Stefan.
"Who died and made you boss?" teased Damon before then motioning for both Stefan and Elijah to proceed onwards in to the house.
Now just as Elijah and Stefan began heading towards the front door, our well suited Original suddenly found himself stumbling a bit due to the sudden light headedness that had befallen the noble original. Placing a hand on the wall beside him Elijah was finally able to regain some sort of balance.
"Hey what's wrong with you all of sudden" baited Damon
"It Esther, she must have already gotten the spell underway." Answered Elijah
"Samantha." Muttered Stefan before then quickly turning to Damon. "Come on we gotta hurry."
And so with that Stefan hastily vamp speeds into the house with Damon not far behind.
