Cassie, Damon and Elena reached the cemetery. The cops had been here already. Yellow tape covered the crime scene. Both Elena and Damon could smell the blood. Cassie looked at them. She didn't keep her guard down. They walked towards the door. Cassie slowly pushed it open. Immediately she felt a strong source of magic.
"Someone really wanted Katherine back." Cassie said walking to the coffin.
Elena looked around. Blood was splattered across the floor. Katherine managed to rip these people. Elena continued to walk towards Cassie. "Who do you think wants her back?" She asked touching the tombstone.
"I thought everyone hated her." Damon said. He looked around the room in disgust.
"I'm not sure." Cassie said touching the coffin. "All I know is that something powerful did this."
Elena looked at Cassie. "Is there some sort of way you can trace this thing?"
Cassis smiled. "If it was that easy we wouldn't be here."
"Yeah well if they left Katherine dead we wouldn't be here." Damon grumbled.
Katherine was staring at Stefan. She still couldn't believe she was back. He was perfect. She thought. Her legs were crossed and a glass of blood in her hand. Stefan was shuffling through the book shelf. He'd been looking for any clues as to how a vampire could return from the unknown.
"Why don't you take a rest and eat something." Katherine suggested. "Maybe a deer."
Stefan looked at her. "I don't drink animal blood anymore."
"Really?" Katherine asked in excitement. "The infamous Stefan Salvatore now survives on human blood."
"Just finish your snack." He said ignoring her.
"It must kill you?" Katherine continued.
"I've taught myself to control the ripper." Stefan said while scrolling through a book.
"I'm not talking about the blood." Katherine said taking another sip of blood. "I'm talking about Elena and Damon."
Stefan tightened his jaw. "Leave it alone Katherine."
"How is it that your brother and ex-girlfriend are together and you're alone?" Katherine asked. She leaned forward and looked at him.
"Katherine I said drop." Stefan warned.
"Well considering you both were in love with me, it makes sense." Katherine continued, ignoring Stefan's warning.
Stefan dropped the book. He let out a roar and charged for Katherine. He had his hand firmly gripped around her neck, his eyes pitch black. Katherine calmly placed her hand on his and looked at him. "Enough Katherine!" He hissed.
"Admit it Stefan, you're still in love with Elena." Katherine said not taking her eyes off him.
Stefan slowly loosened his grip. He stood back and turned to look at the door. "Elena."
Caroline was standing outside the police station. She was dressed in a pretty pink summer dress. She was holding a box of donuts and a cup of coffee. A huge smile planted on her pretty face.
"There you are."
"Tyler Lockwood." Caroline greeted.
The ex-werewolf made his way towards Caroline. He looked down at the box of donuts. "For me?" He asked curiously.
"Yip," Caroline replied with a smile. "And a cup of coffee."
Tyler took the coffee. He took a sip and looked at her. "You want something?" He said.
"Maybe I just came to see an old friend." Caroline replied.
Tyler gave her I-know-you-want-something kind of look.
"Okay fine!" Caroline said. She managed to get Tyler away from the Police Station. "It's Katherine Pierce."
Tyler looked at Caroline with confusion. "So what now, even the unknown doesn't want her?" He commented.
Caroline was looking at him. "Something like that."
"So she's back?" He asked.
"Since yesterday." Caroline replied.
"Where is she?"
"Stefan has her out somewhere. I didn't ask." Caroline replied. "But I need to ask you a huge favour?"
Tyler looked into Caroline's eyes. He knew where this was going. "No Caroline I won't release him, he will destroy the entire town."
"Come on Tyler!" Caroline begged. "You managed to control your hunger as a vampire why can't he?"
"Because Caroline, unlike us, his never had to endure this." Tyler replied.
"Tyler we need him." Caroline said softly.
Tyler shook his head. He stood up and tossed the remaining cup of coffee in the bin. "Caroline if we release him I don't think we'd see him again."
Caroline stood up. "Tyler at least let me see him?"
Tyler took the boxes of donuts. He rested them under his arm. "Fine." He said nodding for her to follow him inside the station.
Elena stood outside her parent's home. Her eyes on Stefan and Katherine. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Damon had been speaking to Cassie. The two were standing by his car. Stefan was still in love with her? Elena watched Stefan step away from Katherine, who was rubbing her neck. Once again, Katherine was cunning and manipulative.
"Elena," Stefan said looking directly at her.
"Erhm…Cassie found nothing at the cemetery." Elena said looking at him. "Damon suggested we do some research. Maybe one of your mother's old journals might help us."
Stefan had his hands in his pockets. He walked to the door and keeping his eyes on Elena. "Sounds like a good plan."
Before Elena could speak, Damon and Cassie appeared beside her.
"Stefan we think your mother's journal might have some information." Cassie said, telling him something he already knew.
"Yeah, Elena just told me." Stefan said with a smile.
"Stefan all I know is that whatever released her was powerful." Cassie told him.
"So it was defiantly another witch." Stefan said.
"I'm not sure Stefan. It could be."
"Damon take Cassie to the storage room." Stefan instructed. "Elena, Caroline sent me a message, she was meeting Tyler at the station. See if you can get there and see what's happening. She thinks she might have something."
"What about you?" Elena asked.
"I have to baby-sit." Stefan replied looking back at Katherine.
