The next morning, Jessie looked over the dagger. It was silver and came with a bottle of ash. Anna came out of the shower and joined her.
"So can this really kill an Original?" Jessie asked.
"Kill might not be the right word." Anna explained. "It would make it so we don't have to deal with him for a while."
"I have no idea how we're going to do this." Jessie admitted. "The fact that we can't use it makes it even harder. How are we going to find a human that's willing to risk their life to put this dagger in him? I also don't know how we could even come up with an idea to get it into him."
"I think we should call Damon." Anna suggested.
"But Damon's an idiot and most his plans fail." Jessie pointed out.
"He's still better than either of us at making plans." Anna argued. "Maybe we can collaborate with him."
"I guess." Jessie relented. That led to the two of them to the boarding house. Jessie didn't know that her sister was already there. Damon walked in the parlor without a shirt on and Jessie came to the realization of why Tina was there.
"To what do I owe the honor of your presence?" He asked.
"We have a weapon that can be used against Elijah." Jessie stated as she pulled out the dagger. "We need your help coming up with a plan to use it, but I want to make sure that this plan is idiot proof…i.e. Damon proof."
"I'm not an idiot." Damon argued.
"Nearly every one of your plans fails." Anna said. "Like for example there was your amazing plan to kill Mason with silver and your plan to get the moonstone out of the tomb without killing Katherine."
"Not everything that I do fails." Damon remarked. "So how does this work?"
"You stab Elijah with it and he'll being unable to do anything. Not dead, but essentially dead." Anna explained. "But it has to be used by a human."
"Maybe I should let Ric try it out." Damon mused.
"We still don't have any idea how we're supposed to use it on him." Jessie responded as she heard the water of the shower turn off. "We need a good way to get him to let his guard down while we plan a sneak attack. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well Easter's coming up." Damon remarked. "Maybe we could invite him over here for a glorious celebration of the resurrection of our Lord."
"You know that story sounds kind of like vampires were involved." Jessie commented.
"Vampires didn't come around until the turn of the first millennium." Anna stated. "Jesus was not a vampire. Do you think it would work?"
"Would what work?" Tina asked as she entered the room.
"I was going invite Elijah over for Easter dinner to kill him." Damon replied.
"Anna's dad gave us this dagger that supposedly can kill an Original." Jessie added.
"Wait, since when do you have a dad?" Damon questioned.
"He's this immortal shaman guy. He saved us the other night." Anna explained.
"Are you sure that this is going to work?" Tina asked.
"Well I know that we need a human to use it." Anna declared. "Yeah, it's not going to be you."
Jeremy and Caroline were with Bonnie at the Grill. Some weird indie song about school shootings was playing in the background.
"So that was a tough spell." Bonnie commented to the couple.
"Well you know what they say. They more spells you cast, the better you get." Caroline declared.
"I don't think anyone says that." Jeremy replied before the three of them noticed Luca walking over, looking angry.
"Wanna tell me what the hell happened yesterday?" He asked, putting his hands on the table.
"Nothing happened yesterday." Caroline remarked.
"Don't play dumb." Luca said. "You were all here."
"And?" Jeremy asked.
"And that's all I remember." Luca responded. "One minute I'm playing pool and the next I'm waking up in a bathroom stall."
"I'm sorry Luca but everything seemed normal yesterday." Bonnie declared. "I brought you a coffee and we played pool. Nothing out of the ordinary happened."
"I think you're lying." Luca said into her ear.
"And we think you need to go." Jeremy replied as he and Caroline stood up.
Luca walked away, not wanting a fight.
Later, Jessie was at work while Anna, Damon and Tina all sat at a table with Alaric.
"So who do you plan on inviting to this party?" Alaric asked.
"Well we need to invite Elijah, and you can invite and I think that Hank can come over as well. I'll make sure to get a lovely ham for tomorrow night." Damon explained. "It will be a lovely evening."
It was at that time that Jenna arrived with Elijah.
"Elijah, how do you feel about coming over for Easter dinner tomorrow night?" Damon asked.
"You're hosting a dinner?" Jenna questioned.
"It would be a pleasure." Elijah stated.
The next night, Jessie was preparing for the dinner. She wore the gold dress that Anna had got her for her birthday. It was definitely classy enough for Easter. While it wasn't particularly long, it didn't show anything. Anna came into her room wearing a black dress.
"I still have a lot of doubts about tonight." Jessie admitted. "So many things can go wrong."
"Damon has prepared for quite a few things." Anna declared. "I think if everything doesn't fall into place, we can always save the dagger for later."
At the Salvatore house, Tina had gone there early to help set the table while Damon and Alaric got the dinner ready.
"So are you and Alaric still together?" Tina asked. "You seemed distant yesterday."
"I just feel like he's hiding some things from me." Jenna stated. "I don't know what it is, but it seems like…I don't know."
"Well men do have their secrets just like we have ours." Tina offered.
"Yeah, but I've told him a lot of my secrets and I feel that he's not telling me all of his. I want him to trust me to tell me things." Jenna replied.
"I guess I don't have much experience with that." Tina stated. "I don't want to meddle any."
In the kitchen Damon was pouring drinks with Alaric as they waited for the guests to arrive.
"I hope you have some nonalcoholic drinks." Alaric replied.
"We're attempting in assassination of an Original and that's what you're concerned about?" Damon asked in disbelief. "I know Tina's not supposed to drink."
"I don't like the idea of Elijah being in the same house as Jenna." Alaric stated.
"Elijah is going to uphold Elena's deal." Damon argued. "It'll be fine."
Jessie and Anna pulled the young vampire's car into the driveway outside.
"Do you really think it was a good idea to leave the dagger with Damon?" Jessie asked.
"Well I know I won't miss him if he tries to kill Elijah himself." Anna stated. "I don't even think that he'd be stupid enough to do something that he knows will kill him. Plus, it's only Elijah. We'll still have Klaus to deal with."
"What is the plan for dealing with Klaus?" Jessie asked curiously.
"I have no idea." Anna stated.
Elijah was the last to arrive after Hank and Blair did. From there everyone took a seat at the table. Jessie was a little disappointed to notice milk in front of her. Pretty much everyone else had alcohol.
"So, Elijah's done some digging and has found that the Founding Families didn't actually found this town." Jenna stated.
"Is that right?" Hank asked.
"Well as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials." Elijah explained. "Over the next hundred years, they developed this community where they could feel safe?"
"So why did no one credit them?" Anna asked, already knowing the answer.
"They were mostly African-Americans who as you know didn't have many rights until the 1960s." Elijah elaborated.
"Because they were witches." Jenna replied cheekily. She was probably the only one who didn't believe that they were.
"No one's proven anything about witches in Salem." Hank pointed out.
"Hank's a journalist." Damon declared. "He knows his stuff."
"Well lore says there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria." Elijah continued. "There were tied to stakes and burned alive."
"Sounds like a ghost story to me." Jessie commented before taking a bite of her ham.
"So, why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?" Damon asked.
"Healthy historian's curiosity, of course." Elijah lied. No one knew what he really wanted with them.
After dinner was over, the Fell girls and Anna were in the kitchen while Damon was offering the technical adults some wine.
"I think it's supposed to happen soon." Jessie replied. "No one wants anyone wine."
"Where is it?" Anna asked. She didn't want Elijah to know what was going on.
"Here." Tina replied as she brandished the dagger.'
"Why do you have that?" Blair asked.
"Because Damon thought I would be best at making dessert." Tina responded. Jessie thought it was an unusual euphemism, but admired her for trying.
"Well make sure everything is perfectly placed." Anna replied. "We can't screw this up."
"I've got it." Tina replied. "This is something I'm good at."
Jessie was not comfortable with what they were about to attempt, but knew that Tina was the one who had to do it. She would have to trust her sister on a very risk maneuver, as in fail and they were all dead maneuver.
Back in the dining room, the "adults" were still sitting.
"So do you mind if I ask you some more questions about your work?" Hank questioned. "I'd love to do a profile on you."
"I thought you were the editor of the paper." Elijah remarked.
"Well I am, but we all have some reporter in us." Hank stated. "Sometimes the opportunity arises and I don't have any reporters on hand."
"Ask away then." Elijah requested. That was when Jessie tapped Blair on the shoulder. She was going out first to avert attention from Tina. Jenna was even in the bathroom. Blair walked out first.
"Sorry, I have to go work on my makeup." Blair replied as she walked through the room. Elijah turned to look at the werewolf, which gave Tina the opportunity to stab him in the heart through his chair. He screamed as his skin began to turn grey and he slumped over. Alaric went to find Jenna as Tina took the dagger out of him.
"You need to put that back in." Anna warned her. "He'll come back to life if the dagger comes out. It needs to stay inside of him."
"Are you kidding me?" Jessie asked as she pulled Elijah out of the chair and Tina stuck the dagger back inside of him. "So now what do we do?"
"We get rid of him before Jenna comes back." Damon remarked. Anna grabbed him and placed his body in the cellar. She closed the door, hoping that no one would open it or remove the dagger. She rushed up just as Jenna walked into the living room.
"Where'd Elijah go?" She asked.
"He had to go somewhere…because his housemate was out of…laundry detergent." Jessie improvised. Everyone stared at her and she wished that she had let someone else come up with the excuse. "The laundry really needed to be done."
"You know maybe I should take you home." Alaric suggested. Jessie mouthed 'thank you' to him. The two of them went out the door and Jessie decided to take Anna out to her car.
"Okay I have to ask." Anna replied. "What?"
"I started something and knew that I had to finish it." Her girlfriend stated. "I would think that even Original vampires would have to do laundry. I mean he has to wash his suits, right?"
"I imagine that he gets those dry-cleaned." Anna guessed.
"Well on a different subject, Tina was pretty badass when she stabbed him." Jessie commented. "This was certainly an Easter to remember."
"I'm going to say this whole year has been one to remember for you." Anna opined. "Even for me, this has been one of the most eventful years of my life."
At that time, Jessie's phone began to ring. It was Stefan.
"Hello?" She asked. "Yes I know about the dagger. We've already it. Tina used it so Elijah was the only one who died. Yes we know about that too, It looks like you guys were a little behind. See you at school tomorrow."
"So now what do you want to do?" Anna asked.
"Well since there was no dessert, do you want to get some ice cream at the Grill?" Jessie suggested.
"Okay." Anna replied as the two of them drove into town. They went inside and saw that Caroline was there, talking to Matt a little, but he had to get back to work.
"What are you doing?" Jessie asked.
"Me and Jeremy had a fight and I was talking Matt about it." The blonde explained.
"What was the fight about?" Anna asked.
"Well he was helping Bonnie practice some of her spells. He didn't ask me about it first." Caroline declared.
"I don't know if that's really something to get mad about unless practicing spells is some new way to describe having sex." Anna replied.
"Well something problematic also happened while they practicing these spells." Caroline added.
"What did they have sex?" Jessie asked.
"No!" Caroline exclaimed. A few people stared at her. She lowered her voice. "Luca's father came in and grabbed onto Bonnie's head. I think he somehow took her powers away or something."
"I've never known that witches could do to each other." Anna replied. "Did he say that he was taking them away or did he actually take them away?"
"Well she can't use her powers anymore." Caroline replied. "So what did you do tonight?"
"We killed Elijah." Jessie replied. "Anna's dad gave us this dagger and Damon invited him over for Easter Dinner and Tina stabbed him through the heart and as long as it stays in him, he'll be dead. I guess the only problem is we have no way to kill Klaus now. I guess we have some time to find out."
So did anyone expect Tina to be the one to kill Elijah. I moved everything back a night because Easter made more sense for a large gathering than the night before. And Jesus is not a vampire. Please don't forget to review.
