Caroline looked down uncomfortably.
"How exactly do you three know each other?" Elena asked skeptically.
Sonya smiled, seemingly friendly again.
"Well it's kind of an interesting story, I guess it is anyways," she replied rotating the ring on her finger. "I've known Stefan for over fifty years, and Damon I've known for over a hundred. I was kind of... explorative."
Sonya smiled at Damon then at Stefan.
"Good times." Damon stated, seeming to see what they did in the past.
"So in other words..." Elena said, trying to get Sonya to say more on the subject.
Sonya turned to Elena, opening her mouth to begin, but Stefan interrupted.
"Please, can we just get back to figuring out what we're going to do about Katherine." He said, purposely changing the subject.
Sonya turned to look at Stefan, confused.
"You guys still haven't gotten rid of that bitch?" she asked with a scoff.
"We've been a little busy." Damon said, now sitting on the couch.
Sonya shrugged.
"Not trying to change the subject but I've heard about Klaus and the other Originals. They haven't made any semblance of a plan yet," she said, sitting on the arm of a chair. "I remember you telling me about Rose, Trevor and Elijah. By the way, Elijah isn't dead."
Elena clutched Stefan's hand.
"Are you kidding me, I staked him myself." Damon said, surprised.
"You need to remember Damon; Elijah is a whole hell of a lot stronger than most other vampires. He has the capability," Sonya said calmly. "Don't worry Elena, that's part of the reason I'm here."
"To do what?" Elena asked, still holding Stefan's hand tightly.
Sonya leaned forward, touching Elena's knee reassuringly.
"To help protect you, believe me, Elijah and Klaus and the others should be a little more reluctant to make a move while I'm here." Sonya said comfortingly.
"Why's that?" Caroline asked.
Damon smiled as he reached and grabbed Sonya's wrist, pulling her onto the couch next to him.
"Sonya's one of the Originals, and Klaus' sister." He said, purring his arm around her shoulders.
Caroline's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.
Elena looked at Damon and then to Stefan who nodded simply.
"You're really going to go against you're brother and the rest of them... to help me?" she asked, surprised.
"While you may be the only way to end this curse, from what both Damon and Stefan have told me about you in our letters, you are too great to just let die." She replied coolly.
"Wait, what curse?" Caroline asked curiously.
"You mean Katerina hasn't told you anything?" Sonya said surprised.
All four of them shook their heads no.
Sonya rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.
"The reason that Katerina became a vampire in the first place was so she wouldn't be killed. So that my brother, myself and the others could stop this curse and the curse I'm talking about is being a vampire. That's why they're so bent on getting to you."
"Wait, you mean there's a way to be human again?" Caroline asked quickly.
"Easy there blondie, it's not that simple; us Originals, we've been alive for hundreds beyond hundreds of years. It's very possible that we may not become human because essentially we were never human to begin with," she said pointedly. "We could very well die. Besides blondie, who's to say you won't die then as well, or Damon and Stefan?"
"Oh." Caroline said.
All of them became silent.
"Anyways, Stefan tells me you have a friend that's a witch." Sonya said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Bonnie, yeah, she's been my best friend since we were little kids; what about her?" Elena asked curiously.
"My daylight ring, it was stolen, I wonder if maybe we could get her to make another... temporarily of course." She replied calmly, twisting the ring on her finger again.
Elena shrugged.
"Maybe, I'd have to ask her to know for sure." Elena replied normally.
"How did you're daylight ring get stolen, who steals a daylight ring?" Damon asked skeptically.
"This guy I was seeing stole it while I was sleeping. He wanted to be turned and I refused to do it." Sonya replied with a shrug.
"What a dick thing to do." Damon said.
Sonya shrugged again.
"So what are you going to do all day tomorrow then, since you have no daylight ring?" Caroline asked curiously.
Sonya looked at Damon through the corner of her eye, Stefan was the only one who noticed.
"I'm sure that I'll think of something to do while you're at school during the day." She replied with a smirk.
Catching an unseen hint, Damon stifled a smile.
