Chapter 7

They all had met up at the Salvatore mansion to devise a plan. Stefan was not happy at the idea at having to become Silas again, but it seemed that he had no choice. If Klaus was right, this Argon had the power to cause everyone he cared for a lot of serious problems. Helena had went with Damon to the tomb to see if Bonnie could cast a locator spell on Katherine and see if she would be able to re-awaken Silas. Connie decided to stay with Klaus and Rebekah to see if they could have any luck looking for the doppelganger at any of her old spots. They figured that she wouldn't be far, given she wanted to make some kind of deal with Argon about the grimwar.

Stefan finished off his third drink. For some reason, his desire for human blood was extremely heightened, and his was trying to quench his thirst, it wasn't working. He slung the empty glass into the fireplace, breaking it into a hundred pieces. He was upset. He had just got back to somewhat of a normal life, and now he had to become the very thing that he loathed. The door then flung open. It was him.

The Ripper stopped for a moment, looking at himself, who was standing by the fireplace.

"I know that I am extremely high on human blood right now, but I know I am not hallucinating."

"No you are not, because I can see you too. You are not Argon are you?" Stefan asked.

"Look I don't know what is going on right now, but I have to go." The Ripper smiled, opening the front door. "So many victims, so little time." He announced, then disappeared. Stefan was going to give chase, then his phone rang. It was Damon.

"Hello, brother."

"Yes Stefan, we are really going to have to do something quick. I just got a call from our friendly neighborhood sheriff Elizabeth, and there are bodies turning up all over the place, and let's just say that they are not animal attack victims." Damon said urgently.

"Well I have a little piece of info you would like to know. There is another me running around as well." Stefan said.

"What. Wait, are you sure."

"Positive."

"Well that explains the bodies, damn." Damon cursed.

"Is it bad."

"Bad, BAD. Not only do we have this Argon running around. Now we have you as well, oh excuse me. The Ripper."
