Damon ignored the watchful gaze of Bonnie and Caroline and he stormed away from Elena. He hated that he had to be so mean to her. But Damon could tell Elena was still unsure about Madeline. She definitely wouldn't approve of Damon spending more time than what was necessary with her.

But he had to, it was the only way. He needed to fix things with Madeline, before she hurt anyone. And he needed to find out if that was even Stefan upstairs or if it was Silas. And Damon had a feeling Madeline was the only one who knew the truth.

Damon rushed outside and jumped into his car. He did manage to wash off the blood but words were still engraved into the bonnet. Damon clenched his teeth and sped out of the drive way.

He wasn't entirely sure where he was going. He had no idea where to find Madeline, no idea where to start. And he wasn't about to go to the bar. That place just made him think of Alaric, an after seeing his ghost just a couple of weeks ago, the wound was still fresh.

Damon pulled over, pulling out his phone.

"Jeremy? Yeah, i need you to tell me the address of every hotel in town" Damon demanded, skipping hello.

"Um, okay. Can i ask why?" Elena's recently resurrected little brother asked.

"No."

"Can i ask Elena about it?" he probed.

"Definitely no. Don't even tell her i called" Damon ordered.

"You're bossy" Jeremy said.

"And you're annoying, now are you going to help me or not?" Damon asked impatiently.

"I don't know-"

"Jeremy don't forget i'm the one who's been helping Elena forget to question the fact that your alive with no apparent explanation" Damon threatened.

Jeremy fell silent. "You guessed about Bonnie?" he asked quietly.

"Yes" Damon said blandly.

"Okay fine, i'll text them to you, just give me ten minutes" Jeremy said.

"Good" Damon said and hung up.

When did he completely screw everything up? You'd think someone as old as him would have gotten their life together by now.

MADELINE

Madeline reclined on her couch, dwelling on what she'd just learned. After Damon had gone back down stairs to be with Elena, she had snuck back into Stefan's room to search through Silas's memories.

He had fought, of course. Someone as powerful as him was hard to restrain. But Madeline had managed long enough to get all the information she needed.

Stefan had gone to drop off Silas's body, Silas turned out to be not a lump of stone, attacked Stefan, locked him in a safe and pushed that safe into a lake.

Silas came back here, full confidence of living as Stefan as his set his plan into motion. Only to be put into a coma by Madeline herself.

If only she knew what Silas's plan was, that would make this whole ordeal much easier. However, Madeline found it exciting not knowing everything for once.

She had a mystery to solve, and she was going to enjoy solving it. But now she had to let Silas regain consciousness, and that might take a while.

Until he did wake up, Madeline had some loose ends to tie up. The incident with Damon seeing her earlier left him feeling open to the aspect of her being, well, not evil.

And Madeline couldn't have that. She needed to do something drastic to make him go back to fearing and despising her.

But he never despised you A little voice said. Madeline scowled. She'd just have to make him. She couldn't have him screwing up her plan just because he still thought she was his little sister.

That was another life. Now they were two vampires who coincidentally shared DNA.

Madeline sighed, the only way she could possibly make him truly hate her is if she killed the two people he cared for most, who were still alive.

But you don't want to kill Stefan, do you? The voice said.

Madeline scrunched up her nose. She hated that she didn't. But, she could always convince him Silas was Stefan, then kill Silas. And Elena, well, Madeline could always pretend she was Katherine if she started to feel guilty.

But he'll hate you if you kill Elena the voice said.

"That's kind of the point" Madeline said.

But you don't want him to hate you, if you actually kill Elena, their is nothing you could do to earn his forgiveness.

"He should be trying to earn my forgiveness" Madeline argued.

That's not the point. Just kill Silas instead of Stefan and Katherine instead of Elena.

"Katherine's human, and he'll know i didn't kill Elena because she'll still be ALIVE!" Madeline shouted.

Eugh, do i have to explain everything for you? Kidnap her of course. Chain her up until later, you could try talking her into it, but i doubt she would comply. Then turn Katherine into a vampire, and kill her.

A smile crept onto Madeline's face. It was a good idea. And if she ever needed Damon to not hate her, she'd just reveal Stefan and Elena are alive.

"That's actually a good idea" Madeline said.

I know, and you have yourself to thank.

"What should i do first?"

Damon's probably trying to find you and ask what you meant when you warned him about Stefan not being the one at the boarding house. Fix your mess. But don't go looking for him, it will be suspicious. Until he finds you, go talk to Elena and see if you can talk her into pretending to be dead.

"How will i convince her?" Madeline asked.

She hates Katherine, she is the one who rammed the cure down her throat after all. Tell her you will either help her kill Katherine, or kill Katherine for her.

Madeline frowned. That could work. "Okay... so what if she doesn't agree to my plan?"

Snap the bitches neck and chain her up, obviously.

Okay, that could work.

What are you waiting for? Send her a text!

"What am i going to say?" Madeline said.

Give her a time and location. Tell her don't tell anyone and dont take anyone with her or you'll kill Jeremy.

Madeline quickly composed a text.

MIDNIGHT AT THE GRAVEYARD. DON'T TELL ANYONE OR BRING ANYONE. IF YOU DO, JEREMY WILL GO BACK TO BEING AS DEAD AS BEFORE.
-SILAS

Silas huh, nice touch.

"I can't have her hating me" Madeline explained.

Hmm, yes. Finally you're using your brain.

Madeline sent the message and smiled. Now all she had to do was wait.

Hey! I hope you like that, in case you didn't get it, the italics was Madeline's sort of alter ego. I'm trying to make her seem sort of insane. I mean you can't really blame her, after what happened. Not to mention she's spent her entire vampire life plotting against her brothers.

Any way, i know it's been ages,a nd the last 2 chapters haven't been that long, but i'm also working on my second story, In the End.

It's another Delena fic so i'm sure anyone reading this will like it :D

Any way, please leave some reviews, i'd seriously love to know what you guys are and are not enjoying!

Cheers!
