It has been a week and a half since I've talked to Damon at the Grill and I was tired of just waiting for something to happen around here or for Damon to come to me.

Klaus has been having anger management problems all day because his hybrids had gotten into a fight and they had killed each other. Now he wants to make more which he can't do because he can't get the doppelgänger's blood.

After a few hours of Klaus's raging and him trashing the parlor, Uncle Eli decided to step in and try to calm him down. This resulted in him taking the raging hybrid down to The Grill for some drinks before he could go on a killing spree.

Aunt Rebekah was off shopping somewhere in Richmond, the biggest city near Mystic Falls.

I sighed as I thought about the conversation that I overheard earlier today between Klaus and Aunt Rebekah when I was heading up to my room.


"We found Finn but now what do we do to get him on our side?" Aunt Rebekah said thoughtfully from down the hall.

"It has to be something he cares about more than Mother for him to even consider leaving her side," I heard Klaus say from beside her.

I paused in my spot. They have to be talking about Finn!

They were too lost in thought that they hadn't seen me walking down the hallway. I took that as my opportunity to hide out behind the bend in the next hallway. I wanted to see what they planned to do.

"How about that girl that he seemed infatuated with just before he got daggered by one of the Five in Italy?" Klaus questioned.

"That's right, Sage I believe her name was, and I doubt it was an infatuation Nik. I believe he was in love with her," Rebekah responded.

"I don't care what her name was or if he was in love with her, as long as it brings him with us willingly then let us give her a call and bring her here," Klaus said while sounding annoyed.

"Do you even know where she is Nik?" Rebekah voiced out her concern.

"I will as soon as witches are done looking for her," Klaus expressed cheeringly.


I sighed as I returned to reality. I hoped their plan for Finn worked to our liking.

I hummed under my breath as I thought of what to do next with my time. Maybe I should go and see if I could get any information off of Damon. I have nothing better to do.

I ran towards the Salvatore Boarding House after I didn't find Damon at the Grill or milling around town.

I think of Father as I'm running. I hope everything was going smoothly and he is getting close to the Gilbert boy so he could come home soon. I miss him terribly already.

When I got to the boarding house, I stop just inside of the forest line and stared.

I wondered if all vampires had mansions 'cause by the looks of it, they all do. I wondered some more as I stared at the mansion before me.

I noticed two cars parked outside the house yet I didn't hear anyone inside. So I decide to take a look around the boarding house to see if there was a way in through the back when everything was closed in the front.

I'm about to walk back around to the front of the house when I saw a pair of footprints heading into the forest. I started following the prints only to come across the scents of Damon and Stefan.

What the hell are they trying to do? I thought out of annoyance after about ten minutes of randomly running. It looked like they were trying to lose someone from following them.

I'm about to give up on looking for them when I started to hear their voices a few miles up ahead. I stopped just outside their hearing range and sight before I started to listen in.

"We all have one stake, we keep it hidden and we look out for any opportunity we have," Stefan said with a smile.

Stakes? What are they going to do with stakes? The only vampires around here, besides us, are them. I wonder…

"And no last minute attacks of pity for any of them," Damon exclaimed while looking directly at the doppelgänger as he said it. He glared at her slightly.

I snorted under my breath; Petrovas don't do pity, they see an opportunity to get things to their advantage and take it, which they could mistake as pity.

"Don't worry about me," The doppelgänger paused for effect, "Not after what they did to Bonnie's mom."

"Barbie?" Damon addressed the blonde next to him.

"Oh, I'm ready, anything to have Tyler break his sire bond to Klaus," the so-called 'barbie' proclaimed while looking determined.

Klaus? They're going after Klaus? Are they bloody crazy or are they stupid!? I thought while looking wide-eyed at them. Don't they know that regular old stakes don't work on him? It'll only serve to make him mad!

"Bus boy?" Damon went on when it looked like barbie was going to keep on talking.

"Do I have a choice," the commoner said while looking at Damon exasperatedly.

And to think the human would have had the common sense to say no even if it meant that he got shunned out a little from them by doing so.

I sighed; Aunt Rebekah was going to get mad that another guy she liked was going to die at the hands of Klaus.

"We have 12 stakes, 12 shots to kill one original, we can do this," Stefan smirked at them with confidence in his voice as he addressed them.

Well that does it. They're just plain stupid if they really think that this will work.

I hang around for a few minutes to hear some of their tactics that they have planned before I decide to go looking for Uncle Eli to see if he has any idea on what is making them think that a stake could kill us when they know it won't work.
