"I… I can't believe these coffins are here." Elena gasps looking at the four coffins, "I wish I could have known sooner." She gives Stefan a sharp glare.
Bonnie steps in-between Elena's sight of the vampire, "I know Elena but we were trying to protect you."
"Why did you bring her into this?" Stefan asks standing up from a chair and walking over to the two girls.
"Stefan we need her on our side." Bonnie sighs, "Especially after yesterday."
"What happen yesterday?" she asks curiously and walks closer to Bonnie.
Stefan looks to Bonnie for permission to tell Elena, "We involved your sister and it did not go so well. She thinks that whatever is in that coffin will kill her."
Elena automatically looks concerned, "Then we should listen to her and not open it."
"Elena whatever is inside that coffin does not want anything to do with your sister. It wants Klaus. I know whoever is inside there has been sending me dreams." The witch states.
"I don't know… Johanna can sense a lot because of her powers."
Stefan rolls his eyes, "This is why we should not have involved her."
"It wants me to find my mom." Bonnie says tearing up, "Why would some evil murderous creature want to bring me back together with my mom?" She smiles softly, "Elena I need your help, please. As of right now Johanna will not help us."
"In fact she is working against us." Stefan says deceitfully, "She promised she would work with Klaus."
"Bonnie is that true?" Elena gawks.
Bonnie looks at Stefan then back to Elena, "Unfortunately, yeah." She lies.

"Thanks for letting me stay here. I won't be in your hair much longer." Johanna said with a snarky tone.
Klaus walks into his unfinished living room. Johanna has a mug with blood in it. She sits in the corner of the couch, "I hope this couch was comfortable." Klaus states pouring himself a drink.
Johanna says standing up, "It did the trick." She stretches, "I do not really sleep much anyways."
"Why is that, love?" Klaus enquires.
Johanna sighs and sets her mug down on a side table. She crosses her arms and looks at the hybrid, "Klaus it has been two days since you sent your hybrids away. You still do not have a plan to get that coffin back."
Klaus looks up at her and dust her reprimanding speech off, "All in due time." He goes to sit on the couch.
"So you have a plan?" her question is met by silence, "I knew it. Klaus every day we do not get that coffin, is another day they could open it."
"I know that, Johanna. But my defenses are down." Klaus admits, "My hybrids are gone and neither one of us are not welcomed at that bloody house."
Johanna scoffs, "How is it that we are the two most powerful beings on earth yet, we cannot even get what we want?" she sits down cross legged next to him.
"I have been asking myself that for centuries," He finishes his drink, "I suppose it's a cruel twist of fate."
"You know we are very similar if you think about it." Johanna says randomly, "I mean we both are one of a kind, adopted or half adopted, we care so much for our families yet they don't care for us, and we are strong."
Klaus raises his brows, "Your point being?"
Johanna stops to think what her point was but moves on from it, "You do not have to have a plan. At least not yet, you just need to seem like you do." She grows a small smirk that was quite similar to the large on Klaus's face.

"So we are just leaving?" Chelsy yells at Brandon.
"Yes!" Brandon yells from the bathroom.
"Why? I have a life here!" Chelsy says throwing clothes in her bag.
Brandon walks in, "Because Chelsy… This is serious we are meeting dad and Blake in Tennessee and staying there for a couple months."
"Why? Cause master Klaus wants us too?" Chelsy asks rudly, "You know I always knew you were a pushover but this, this is an all-time low."
"I am a hybrid Chels! I am a hybrid and so is Blake. We asked Klaus to turn us."
"What why? Why the hell am I learning about this now?!" She yells with tears in her eyes.
"We did not want to force this lifestyle on you. Klaus agreed. He already had Tyler, another high schooler, and because it was forced on him he has been fighting it ever since. Klaus wants all the hybrids out of town."
"So we just leave?"
"I am sired to him but not for long this is the perfect opportunity to break the bond. You just need to be with your family Chels. You will be safer with us." Brandon says grabbing one more box, "We will be back soon."
Line Break
Elena is packing quickly. Johanna walks into her room. Startled Elena gasps, "Johanna, Hey."
Johanna furrows her brow. She feels Elena's fear, "Hey sis." She smiles, "going on a trip?"
"How did you know I was going somewhere?" Elena asks nervously. Johanna points to Elena's small bag and Elena laughs awkwardly, "oh right."
"I don't know what they told you but, I assure you I am not here to hurt you." Johanna says quietly.
"Johanna I am not afraid-"
"Don't lie Lena," Johanna interrupts, "I can practically see the fear radiating off you."
Elena sighs, "Is it true? Are you working for Klaus?" tears fill her eyes.
"I sold myself to him a long time ago. His hybrids are gone I am his next asset in this town. I have to work for him." She nods.
"Why Jo? He killed Jenna. He hurt Jeremy, Alaric, Damon, Stefan, you, me and the list goes on. How can you work with someone who has hurt so many people you care for?!" Elena asks in disgust.
"Because Elena… I made a deal. Not to mention he has promised my safety. I am sure they painted me to be a monster. Do you know what Stefan did to me last night?" Elena stays silent, "Of course you don't. I will spare you the gory details. I love you Elena and I will never harm you. But in order to keep you safe and to keep working on bringing gypsies back; I need to be alive." Johanna sees Bonnie's car pull up to the drive way, "You should go. Bonnie is waiting." Elena looks out her window and then back to where her sister was but she was gone.

Stefan walks into his house and music is blaring. Klaus is sitting in a chair in the Salvatore living room.
"What are you doing here Klaus?" Stefan asks sitting down next to him.
"Just enjoying our stalemate." Klaus takes a swig of his drink
Stefan asks, "What do you want?"
"The question is what do you want? My hybrids left town like you asked. Now I am wondering what I have to do to get my family back."
"See Klaus this is not a deal. You leave town and call back in a couple years… then we will talk."
"I am going to give you one more chance." Klaus warns.
Stefan leans towards Klaus, "Or what, you make one move and I'll-"
Klaus laughs, "Yes that's right. Crazy Stefan, how is that working out for you? Got any friends left?" he asks with a large smirk spread across his face

Johanna is walking towards her car when she feels a sharp pain in her neck. She hisses and touches the side of her neck. Johanna looks behind her and sees the hospital. She feels led to it and starts walking to it.
Once inside Johanna's nose is hit with the smell of blood. She shakes it off and walks father down the main hallway; she finds herself in front of a closed door. The gypsy looks side to side before entering. She starts to open the door and it stops half way. She peers in the room no one is in the room. Johanna looks to what could be blocking the door and gasps. Damon is unconscious on the ground so, Johanna walks in quickly and shuts the door.
"Damon?" She slaps his face lightly. He does not respond; Johanna grabs a flask out of her raggedy purse. She puts the flask up to Damon's mouth. He slowly starts to drink the blood and his eyes open. She pulls the flask back and screws the lid on.
"Johanna? What are you doing here, how did you find me?" He asks putting his jacket back on.
Johanna stutters slightly, "I… I honestly don't know. I just had a feeling, something bad was happening in here." She sighs, "low and behold something bad." Johanna's laughs nervously.
"You carry around a flask of blood now?"
They stand up, "Yeah I do not want to risk losing control again. I would rather look like a mild alcoholic than a crazy blood sucking beast." Johanna looks at Damon and he was intently staring at her, "Well I better go."
"What happen between you and Stefan?" Damon asks blocking her path to the door.
She tries to walk past him, "You don't want to know."
Damon stops her again, "Yes I do." He said. She shoves Damon slightly. He quickly grabs her shoulders, "Jo stop," She starts to tremble as she remembers that night. Unintentionally, Johanna brings Damon into her mind. He starts to see the traumatic experience unfold in the gypsy's eyes. When the vision was over Damon let go of her in shock. He became angry zoned out he barely noticed the gypsy in tears.
Johanna fell to the ground, "He was willing to kill me. Bonnie helped him."
Damon bent down and hugged Johanna, "My brother won't get away with this."
The girl stood up shakily, "It doesn't matter. What's done is done, Damon. The thing that matters it today my sister was afraid of me. Stefan and Bonnie lied to her," Damon looked deeply into her eyes and brushed her tears away holding her cheeks, "I know you won't stop till Klaus is dead and I won't stop you. I have to do what he says Damon. I work for him and because your brother sent the hybrids away. I am all he has and…"
"Johanna shhh. Its okay I understand. I promise I will save you from him," Damon kisses her forehead.
"Just do me a favor."
"Anything." Damon says quietly.
"After this mess with the coffin is over. Don't forget the way we felt for each other now." Johanna says wrapping her hand around Damon's.
He kisses her. Their first kiss was soft but long. They had been holding their feelings in for such a long time. "I could never forget the way I feel about you." Damon says softly.
Line break
Johanna walks up to Chelsy's house, "Okay and the key is where?" she says into her phone.
"Under the potted plant," Chelsy whispers, "Listen my brothers' do not know I am letting you stay there so please keep it on the dl."
Johanna looks down at the bottle of liquor in her hand, "Got it. no one will know I am here." Johanna says walking up to the plant. She grabs the key and unlocks the door.
"Jo also be careful. The house was under Brandon's name and now that he is technically dead…"
Johanna rolls her eyes, "It's not invite only."
"Exactly. My brothers are home I gotta go." Chelsy hangs up. Johanna walks in and looks at the bottle in her hand. She opens it and lifts the bottle up, "To curbing the cravings." She cheers to no one.

"You've changed," Stefan breathlessly says, "You have gotten stronger." He looks up at Elena.
Stefan stands up along with Elena, "Listen Stefan, Johanna told me you did something to her last night."
Stefan rolls his eyes, "Great and I thought we were getting along better." Stefan starts to walk off. Elena grabs his arm.
"Wait, you didn't let me finish. You could have used me. I probably would have been a quicker and more effective way to threaten Klaus," Elena looks up at Stefan, "so thank you for not hurting me. It shows me you still care."
"I do Elena. I would never hurt you." He starts to lean in for a kiss.
Elena pulls back, "A week ago I told Damon I had feelings for him," Stefan looks at her with a cold stare, "but I was lying to myself. I just wanted a distraction. You were gone and I felt like I was going to lose Damon too. So I panicked… and I I said I liked him. It wasn't true though, Stefan."
Stefan nods, "You're better than him Elena. You are better than both of us." He walks past her and into his car.
Line Break
"How can a gypsy exist?" Elijah asks turning to Klaus.
"I do not know but she does." Klaus says handing Elijah a glass of scotch, "I thought the witch coven had finished off Kati and Xavier."
"Perhaps they lied in fear of their lives, or maybe the two gypsies had a child before their end. Is the girl on your side?" Elijah asks calmly.
"She has always been mine. We made a deal but, at times she is reluctant. I have shown her kindness. I believe I have earned her trust." Klaus says proudly.
"Very well, maybe this time we can make peace with her kind."
Line Break
"You're alive. I assume that means you got the coffins out?" Stefan asks walking into the boarding house.
Damon turns around, "I only had time to get one. I chose the locked one."
Stefan raises his eyebrows, "Smart choice. Did Johanna give you any trouble?" he asks.
Damon furrows his brow in anger, "No but she did give me some information," He punches Stefan in the jaw, "It's pretty neat how gypsies can replay images in other people's mind," He pulls a stake out of his pocket and stabs Stefan.
"I wasn't going to actually kill her." Stefan says coughing.
Damon stabs Stefan in the shoulder, "Don't lie to me brother. You were absolutely ready to kill her," Damon stands up, "If you touch Johanna again. I will happily go after Elena."
"You couldn't hurt her." Stefan says confidently, "I know you have loved her."
Damon walks to his room, "That's where your wrong brother." He yells back.
Line Break
*The next morning*
Johanna is passed out on the Lockwood's brown leather sofa with an empty bottle of vodka lying on the ground next to her. The sun fills the living room and Johanna groans loudly. And grabs the blanket around her body and pulls it over her head. There was a dark moment of peace until another one of her five senses was put on red alert. Loud knocking came from the front door.
Johanna pops her head up and reaches her hand out. The door opens quickly. She stares at the door in disbelief, 'woah I am powerful.' She thought. Johanna's eyes travel to the person who was knocking like a crazy person. Her eyes widen, "Xavier?"
I am gonna be real with you guys in the next couple of episodes… The SHIZ is HITTING the FAN! Stay tuned!
