Brave New World
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Tori and Marie.
At the Mystic Falls hospital, Caroline wakes up with a start and goes out of the room. The nurse is the only one in sight. "Excuse me? Where is everyone?" Caroline questioned.
"It's the middle of the night honey." The nurse told her.
"It is? Oh, uh ... have you seen my mom?" She asked.
"She left after dinner with your boyfriend and then your friends Tori and Elena stepped by."
"They did?" Caroline asked, "Yeah, they did but they said their name were Marie and Katherine. Can I just get something to eat?"
"Breakfast comes around seven." The nurse told her.
"But I'm hungry."
"You should go back to sleep." The nurse suggested.
She goes toward the room but then she stops. "What is that smell?"
"Back to bed." The nurse leaves but Caroline stays in the hallway. She looks everywhere and sees a blood pouch in a patient's room. She goes toward the pouch and touches it but the nurse arrives. "What are you doing in here?"
"I don't know." She replied.
"You need to go back to bed."
She takes Caroline to her room and leaves. Caroline sits down on her bed and takes the blood pouch from her pocket. She drinks but she doesn't like it and, disgusted, throws the pouch on the floor. She looks down at the pouch on the floor, climbs down from her bed and picks it up. She starts drinking again and her fangs appear.
At the Mystic Falls high school, everyone is preparing the carnival. Tori, Bonnie and Elena are taking care of everything. "They looked just like you, it was freakish." Bonnie said referring to Maria and Katherine.
"They are our ancestors." Elena replied. "Hey, I moved the student booth into the cafeteria."
"Your vampire ancestors and they didn't just resemble you like a family members would." Bonnie said. "They were you."
"I don't know, I can't explain it." Elena answered. "It's creepy, that's all I got."
"How do you know she's not still out there pretending to be you?" She looked at both Elena and Tori.
"We don't but I could sit here and be tortured by the not-knowing or I could get these prizes to the ring toss." Tori answered.
"Have you talk to Damon since he killed Jeremy or tried to kill Jeremy?"
"No Bonnie, I haven't and I won't and I don't want to talk about Damon or anything else that's vampire related okay?" Tori replied. She gives a bag full of plush to Bonnie. "I'm human. And I have to do human stuff. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy."
"Okay, I'm sorry, I'll focus. We have to make Caroline proud or she will kill us. I don't know how she does all of this." Bonnie shook her head.
"Well because she's not human, obviously." Elena joked.
"Obviously." They all laugh.
Jeremy and Stefan are in the hallway against Jeremy's locker, Stefan had a small vial of watered down vervain "It's the same as the bracelet Elena gave you." Stefan said.
Jeremy smelt it. "It protects me from compulsion."
"Vervain is toxic to vampires."
"Like poison?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's very poisonous." Stefan replied. "It keeps them out of your head."
"But why vervain?"
"Don't know, certain natural herbs and roots and other elements are just harmful to vampires." Stefan shrugged.
"Like a stake to the heart?" Jeremy questioned.
"Right but it has to be wood." He said.
"You're pretty confident in yourself telling me all the different ways I could kill you." Jeremy smirked.
"Jeremy, if I thought you wanted to kill me we would be having a much different conversation." He told him.
J"Yeah, Damon is the one that deserves it."
"I want you to forget about Damon, all right?" Stefan said. "He's hundred times stronger than you and right now he's not stable. You got to try to move forward."
"I was killed by a vampire and brought back by a magic ring. How do you move forward from that?" Jeremy asked.
"Right. Well, today we have a nice little distraction courtesy of the slave driver Elena." Just then Elena arrives. "Hello Elena"
"Hey, did you-"
"Yeah, yeah, I set up the gold fish toss all three hundred gold fish." Jeremy says sarcastically. "It's gonna be epic!" He slams his locker before leaving.
"He's gonna be alright, he's just been through a little bit of an ordeal." Stefan told her.
"I was just hoping that this carnival would reel him back into the land of a high school teenager." Elena replied.
"That was what we were doing here?"
"Yes, we all are." She answered. "We're going to be boring high school students who live in a world where the "v" word is not uttered."
"Got it!" Stefan said.
"Then later you're going to take me to the Ferris wheel, we're gonna ride to the very top and then you're gonna kiss me and my heart will flutter like a normal high school girl." She smiled. "Do you see a running theme here?"
"Yeah I know, I'm seeing it and I'm liking it but I have a quick question. Uh, what do we do about Damon?"
"Uh, no "D" word okay? That has been deleted from the list of topics that we can discuss." She told him.
"Unfortunately Marie showing up has been a little bit of an odd place, little off-kilterr, kind of dangerous. Who knows what he's up to?"
At the Lockwood's Mansion, Damon is in the living room with Carol Lockwood. "So I understand John Gilbert has left town. Have they found the vampire that attacked him?" Carol asked.
"Well, the sheriff has asked me to take the lead on that and I promise you I will get to the bottom of it." Damon replied.
"Which brings me to my next subject." Carol said. "With Richard gone, I'll be acting as interim mayor until the elections and I'm going to need someone to spearhead out the council. I'd like that person to be you."
"Whatever you need Carol. As a founding family member it's something that's very close to me so I would be honored to help keep this town safe from vampires."
Mason and Tyler enter the house. Carol closes the door of the living room.
"Is it safe to talk?" Damon asked.
"It's my brother-in-law, Mason." Carol told her. "He's still visiting. I just don't want him to hear us. He didn't want any part of the council when he lived here and I see no reason to bring him into it now."
Damon is listening to their conversation with his supernatural hearing.
"What was that? Like seven?" Tyler questioned.
"Six." Mason replied. "I don't count the last one. You crawled it."
Tyler scoffed. "What?"
"I think Grandma Lockwood actually passed you, in her walker."
"Yeah, okay." Tyler rolled his eyes. "Shoes off. Mud, my mom..." He gave him a look.
"Yeah, yeah." Mason sits down and removes his shoes. "So all this anger and aggression you're talking about, you notice a difference when you exercise?"
"Dude, I play 3 varsity sports. I work out 4 times a week and run 3, I'm gonna say no."
"Do you have episodes? What happens exactly?" Mason questioned.
"Starts out normal, I get angry typically over nothing. I'm an angry guy. I know it just amplifies and I just go off." Tyler told him.
"You black out?"
"Yeah, it's like I go blind with rage." He nodded.
"Is there a pattern? Like once a month, only at night?" Mason questioned.
"All I know is I loose myself, you know? For that time I become something else and I hate it."
Damon is still listening to Tyler and Mason's conversation. He looked forward to see Carol has been talking all a long.
"More tea? Damon?" She asked.
"Oh yes, please. Thank you Carol."
Back At the Mystic Falls hospital, Caroline is in her room. The curtains are drawn except for the small ray of light trickling from the window. Caroline tries to put her hand in the light, but withdraws it painfully when it burns. Matt arrives with a tray of food. "Your mom said you're not eating."
Caroline scrunch up her nose. "It's gross."
"It's hospital food; it's supposed to be gross." Matt replied. He goes toward her to kiss her but there's the sunlight between them. "She also said you're getting released tomorrow morning."
"Morning? I need to get out tonight." She told him.
"No, the carnival is going to happen without you, Caroline." Matt replied. "I know it's hard for your neurotic control freak personality to process but Bonnie, Tori and Elena have it."
"I'm not neurotic." She protested.
"Yeah you are but it's cute so-"
"Look, it's not about the carnival okay? It's just that this place is just really depressing." She said.
"It's because you're sitting in the dark." He begins to open the curtains.
"No don't!"
Matt opens the curtains. Caroline runs to the opposite wall and presses herself flat against it to avoid the light. "What the hell?"
"Just close it, please." She begged.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Close it!" She ordered. He closes the curtains. "I'll just come back later, okay?" He said before leaving.
At the Salvatore Boarding house, Damon is pouring a blood pouch in a glass. Stefan arrives. "Care for one?" Damon asked.
"No, thank you." Stefan denied. "I'm not hungry, just ate."
"Are you worried that one day, all the forest animals are gonna band together and fight back?" Damon asked. "I mean, surely they talk."
"I'm just happy that's a blood bag and not a sorority girl supplying your dinner." Stefan replied.
"I like this. You, walking on eggs shells around me because you think I'm gonna explode. Very suspenseful. Is Tori worried too? I bet I'm your every conversation."
"Have you heard from Marie or Katherine?" Stefan asked.
"I think the Lockwoods have a family secret because the Gilbert device affected them but vervain didn't so they're not vampires, they're something else." Damon told him.
"Is this your new obsession?"
"You'd rather some unknown supernatural element running rampant upon our town." Damon replied. "Fine, I'll drop it."
"We haven't seen the last of Katherine and Marie, you do know that right? We have no idea what they're up to." Stefan said.
"Sure we do. Katherine came back to profess her undying eternal love for you so I'm gonna let you deal with her because I have more important things to do like explode. Cheers!"
At the Mystic Falls hospital, Caroline is putting on her jewelry. She puts on the necklace Elena gave to her but It burns her skin so she throws it on the floor. The nurse arrives and picks it up. "That's pretty" She smiled.
"Yeah, my friend gave it to me." Caroline replied.
The nurse leaves, Caroline drinks blood from a pouch. She looks at her in the mirror, her face is changing and her fangs appear. She screams, the nurse arrives.
"What's wrong?"
Caroline strangles the nurse and pushes her against the wall. "You can't tell anyone, you can't tell anyone!" She compels her.
"I can't tell anyone." The nurse replied.
"You'll do what I say?" Caroline asked confused.
"I'll do what you say."
"Good, because I'm starving." She bites her.
At the Mystic Falls high school. It's the carnival, Bonnie is talking to Tori and Elena. "The ring toss is out of Bart and Homer dolls and team Jacob T's." Bonnie told them.
"Okay, I can grab some from the science club." Tori said. "Also we lost a speaker in the karaoke booth."
"Hey, all good Elena, take a beat, look around. This is a huge success." Bonnie replied.
"You mean I can do more than just freak vampire havoc?"
"Go figure." They laugh, Elena looks at a man who is repairing one of the stands. "Hey, Carter, right? You're with the carnival." Elena says.
"That'll be me." Carter replied.
"Okay, great."
He looks at Bonnie. "Wow, what do you need beautiful?" He asked.
"What do you know about karaoke speakers?" Bonnie questioned.
"Why don't you show me the problem?"
"Yeah Bonnie, show him the problem." Elena nudged her with a smile.
"Okay, come on." Both Bonnie and Carter left. Tori and Elena looked at each other and they couldn't help but smile.
Meanwhile at the Lockwood's mansion, Mason is in his brother office, looking for something. He searches everywhere. Tyler arrives. "What are you doing?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing, just killing time, waiting for you." Mason replied.
"You looking for something?"
"Yeah actually." He answered. "You know where I can find any family artifact stuff? Heirlooms?"
"You drained your trust fund already?" Tyler asked.
"I did that when I was 22." Mason told him. "No, I'm just looking for this old piece of my mom's. My dad gave it to her when they got married. It's a sentimental value. Probably passed down to your dad. It just still be in the house here somewhere."
"What's it look like?"
"It's a moon stone; it's about the size of a hockey puck. Old, ugly, minimal monetary value." Mason answered.
"Hey man, whatever. Ask my mom I guess." Tyler replied.
"Yeah, cool, I'll do that. You're ready?"
"Yeah."
Back t the Mystic Falls high school, Jeremy is buying popcorn. Damon approaches him. "Jeremy, it's so good to see you alive."
"Aren't you a little old for a high school carnival?" Jeremy questioned.
"A hundred and fifty years too old." Damon smirked.
"You're pretty funny cracking jokes when I could I don't know...blow the whole lid off this thing by telling someone what you really are."
Damon catches him and takes him away from the crowd. "So please tell me that that is not a threat."
"Maybe it is." He shows him the ring and Damon chokes him from behind.
"This is what we're not gonna do: we're not gonna walk around like we are invincible when it's this easy for me to end you." He releases him. "If you want to tell people what I really am go ahead and try." Damon holds up Jeremy's ring; he stole it from his hand. "I will shove this ring so far up your ass, you'll really have something to choke on" He throws the ring at Jeremy and leaves.
Caroline is dressed and on the phone. "The doctor said I'm good as new." She announced. "He signed me out. He said that I didn't have to wait 'til morning, so call me when you get this."
She hangs up; the nurse is sitting on Caroline's bed. She has a bandage on her wound on the neck. "It's dark, thank god. I'm so sorry about that."She looks at the bandage. "Okay, now what's the story?"
"My husband likes to get kinky." The nurse replied.
"Yes, good." Caroline grinned. "Okay, so I'm gonna take off. I'm the commitee chair for the carnival and I'm worried it's a complete disaster. I mean god bless Elena, she does not understand the word fabulous." She takes her bag. "Once again I'm so sorry about that and if you could just forget that I bit you that would be great because I'm going to-"
"Forget what?" The nurse asked, she was compelled by accident.
"I don't know how that works but it's brilliant." Caroline said before leaving.
Damon is looking at Tyler who is arm wrestling. Stefan arrives. "You're lurking."
"I'm observing." Damon replied.
"More like obsessing." Stefan said.
Tyler wins. "He's got strength."
"He's a triple letter varsity athlete, of course he has strength." Stefan shrugged. "You're reaching."
Mason arrives to do arm wrestling against Tyler. "I bet I could beat you." He challenged.
"Enter the uncle." Damon announced.
Stefan shook his head, "That's ridiculous."
Mason beats him. "Okay, he's the champ, who wants to go next?" Tyler questioned.
"Stefan wants to go." Damon put his brother up.
Stefan shrugged, "Yeah, sure, I'll...give it a shot." Stefan joins Mason.
"Get him Stef!" Damon cheered.
"My brother over there thinks I can beat you." Stefan told Mason. "Your brother's wrong." He start the wrestling, both putting in hard pressure. Mason beats him.
Stefan rejoins Damon. "You didn't put in any effort at all." Damon growled.
"Yeah, actually I did." Stefan replied.
"Come with me." They go in the hallway. "Is he...?"
Stefan shook his head. "No, no, it wasn't that kind of strength but it was more than human, if that make sense."
"What is up with that family?" Damon questioned. "They're not vampires, what the hell are they?"
"Maybe they're ninja turtles" Stefan joked.
"You're not funny" Damon told him.
"Or zombies, werewolves."
"No comedic timing at all." Damon turns his head and sees Carter repairing something.
"What? What are you up to?" Stefan questioned.
"Since this is reality and there's no such thing as werewolves or combat turtles."
"I said ninja turtles, actually." Stefan said.
Damon goes toward Carter. "Hey you!" He called.
"I have a name." Carter told him.
"Yeah I don't care." He catches his shoulders and compels him. "I need you to pick a fight with someone, a kid named Tyler Lockwood."
"Damon, don't do this." Stefan spoke.
"It's just an experiment." Damon told Stefan, he looked back at Carter. "Get him mad, don't back down no matter what he does, okay?"
"I won't back down." Carter repeated.
"I know you won't." He releases him, Carter leaves.
"Do you realize someone is going to get hurt right?" Stefan asked.
"No, someone is going to get mad, as in rage."
"What's that going to accomplish?" He questioned.
"That Tyler kid is incapable of walking away from a fight. Let's see who intervenes, maybe it's the ambiguous, supernatural mystery uncle." Damon is walking alone in the hallway when Caroline arrives. "Hey Blondie, they let you out?"
"I remember." Caroline announced.
"What do you remember?"
"I remember how you manipulated me, you pushed me around, abused me, erased my memories, fed on me." She replied.
"You're crazy." Damon said.
"Memories have been coming back, in pieces."
"You can't remember." Damon said. "It's impossible, I mean unless you're becoming a-"
She smiles. "I have a message from Marie, she said "Game on"."
"Wait-"
She pushes him with strength, he falls on the floor. "You suck." She spat before leaving.
Tori is talking with a girl when Damon arrives. "Tori."
"What do you want, Damon?" She asked.
"I know I'm the last person you want to see right now but I need you to come with me." Damon told her.
"Whatever it is I'm not interested." Tori said.
"Yeah, I need you to come with me right now, Tori." She follows him.
Tyler is going in the parking lot; Stefan follows him and hides himself to observe the scene. Carter arrives and pushes Tyler."Watch where you are going." Tyler told him.
"You got a problem?" Carter asked.
"Yeah, you walked right into me." Tyler replied.
"What are you going to do about it?" Tyler questioned.
"You're kidding right?" Tyler laughed a little. Carter pushes him again. "You better back off" Carter pushes him. "You hit me again, I swear to god-"
Carter punches him in the face. They fight, Mason arrives. Mason pushes Carter away.
"Hey Tyler! Tyler! What the hell man?" He asked.
Mason struggles with him but Carter punches him in the face and pushes him against a car. Mason makes some supernatural moves, his eyes change, and they are yellow and glow.
"Your eyes." Tyler said. Mason hits Carter; he falls on the floor. Mason and Tyler leave.
Stefan arrives to help Carter. "You alright man?"
"Why did I just do that?" Carter asked.
"You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Caroline rejoins Matt at the ring toss. "What are you doing here?" Matt questioned.
"They discharged me, all better." Caroline replied.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
Caroline nodded. "I feel pretty good."
"Yeah, 'cause earlier you were-"
"I'm all better." She kisses him. "All better."
"Okay, you want to give it a shot?" He gives him one of the rings. She throws it at a bottle, and she breaks 3 bottles. "Woah, hey, nice shot, killer."
"They must already have been broken." He embraces her. She looks at his neck. "Oh no."
"What's wrong?" Matt asked.
"I got to go." She leaves and he follows her.
"Wait Care, are you okay, I mean-"
"Just leave me alone!" She leaves.
Elena, Stefan, Tori and Damon are in a classroom talking about Caroline. "How did this happen?" Stefan asked.
"Well, I fed her blood and Marie obviously killed her and A plus B equals-" Damon explained.
"But why?" Elena asked.
"Because she is a manipulative nasty little slut." Damon replied.
"And she said "game on"? What is that even mean?" Stefan questioned.
"It means they're playing dirty, they want us to know." Damon replied.
"But why Caroline?" Tori spoke up.
"I don't know."
"Caroline must be completely out of her mind, she doesn't even know what's happening to her." Stefan announced.
"Oh I think she does." Damon said. "All of my compulsion from the past started wearing off the minute she was in transition."
"We have to find her." Stefan announced.
"Yep and kill her."
"You're not gonna kill Caroline." Elena told him.
"She knows who we are. She's officially a liability, and we've got to get rid of her." Damon replied.
Stefan shook his head. "Damon, absolutely not."
"Need I remind you of a tragic little story of a girl named Vicki Donovan?" Damon asked. "Caroline, of all people, will not make it as a vampire. Her mother is a vampire hunter. Guys come on, we all know how this story's gonna end, just flip to the last chapter and-"
"It's not an option Damon." Tori told him.
"No? Your silence is deafening, Stefan. Wait, wasn't there a school carnival the night you staked Vicki? Talk about a town where story repeats herself. You know I'm right." Damon said.
"We're not gonna kill her." Stefan replied.
"It's the only way."
Caroline is alone crying when she sees Carter. He's bleeding. She realizes she wants his blood and giving in.
"Hey, is everything okay?" Carter asked.
"I'm so sorry."
"What?" He asked confused. She rushes over him and bites him. She drinks his blood draining him dry.
Matt is talking with Bonnie. "She's obviously pissed at me for something but for what, no clue." Matt said, talking about Caroline.
"What happened?" Bonnie asked.
"She freaked out and she's been like that all day." Matt explained. "Cool one minute and crazy and neurotic the next."
"She almost died, it's bound to mess with her head. Plus, she's Caroline." Bonnie told him.
"Yeah, I'm used to the insecurities and all that. It's who she is, love it or hate it but this seemed I don't know...different. I can't explain it."
Damon is looking for Caroline; he finds a stake on the floor. He takes it. Tori and Stefan are looking for her too. Elena had gone off to look for Jeremy.
"You agree with Damon, don't you? Stefan?" Tori questioned. Stefan punches the side of a trailer. "Stefan. Hey."
"Damon's right, not about what we should do but about what's gonna happen." Stefan replied. "Marie and Katherine's already decided Caroline's death sentence.
"We can't let it end that way. They're doing this to me and Elena, aren't they?" Tori asked.
"No, Katherine's doing it to me."
At the Lockwood's mansion, Mason and Tyler are entering the house. "Well, we're home. Safe territory, enough with the silence." Tyler says.
"I told you to leave it alone." Mason warned.
"What was that move you pulled?" Tyler asked.
"Brazilian martial arts, I took some classes a while back." Mason replied.
"Don't lie to me!" Tyler told him.
"I'm not lying."
"I saw something!" Tyler said
"You didn't see anything." Mason replied.
"I saw your eyes, they glowed."
"Reflection of a car headlight maybe, that's all." Mason told him.
"Reflection of a car headlight..." Tyler scoffed.
Mason nodded. "Yes."
"You really expect me to believe that?" Tyler asked.
"Tyler! You want to know what you saw? You saw me get pissed off that I had to pull your delinquent ass out of a fight!" Mason growled. Tyler walks away.
Elena soon meets up with Stefan and Tori. They were still looking for Caroline. Stefan notices something different in the air.
"Where could she be?" Tori asked.
Elena looks at Stefan. What is it? Do you hear her? What's going on Stefan, what is it?" Elena questioned.
"Blood, I can smell blood." Stefan replied.
Caroline is crying next to Carter's body. Damon arrives. She has blood all over her face. "He's dead. I killed him. What's wrong with me?" She whimpered.
"Hey, hey it's okay. I can help you." Damon told her.
"You can?"
"Yeah, I have to." He replied.
"What are you gonna do?" She asked.
"The only thing I can do." He said. "I'm gonna kill you."
"Please don't!" Caroline begged. "I don't want to die!"
"Yeah, but you are already dead."
"No! I'm not. Don't say that, okay? Just help me!" She begged.
"Okay."
"Okay? Just help me please! Please, please!" Caroline begged again.
"Okay, okay." He embraces her and is about to kill her with the stake but Stefan arrives and rushes over to stand between them. "Stefan!"
Tori and Elena is standing with Caroline. She thinks they are Katherine and Marie. "Get away from me! You killed me!" She told her.
"No, no, no, no Caroline! That wasn't me. It wasn't us!" Tori assure her. "You know that! That was Katherine and Marie."
"No! Then why did they look like you?!" Caroline questioned. "And why, why did she do this to me?"
"Stefan, we've got to get her inside." Elena spoke up.
"It's okay Caroline, come with me." Stefan told her.
"She'll die, it's only a matter of time." Damon said.
"Yeah, maybe so, but it's not gonna happen tonight."
"Oh yeah it is." He picks up the stake and rushes over them but Tori puts herself in front of Caroline. "Damon, she's my friend." She told him. Damon hesitates, staring at Tori who refuses to move. Then he drops his arm.
"Whatever happens, it's on you."
Bonnie arrives. "Caroline?" She asked.
"It's okay, come on."
Bonnie sees the blood on Caroline's face. "No, you're not; you can't be." She touches her and is horrified by the truth.
"Bonnie?"
She sees the body. "Oh god!"
"Bonnie..."
Stefan takes Caroline away from the area to the bathroom. Elena followed aswell. He takes some tissues to wipe the blood of her face. Caroline starts washing away the blood too.
"She hates me! Bonnie hates me." Caroline whimpered.
"No, she's just in shock, we all are." Elena told her.
"And what about Matt?" She cries.
"Hush." Stefan cooed her. "One thing at one time, let's get this blood off, come on."
"I'm a m-m-murderer. I'm a monster!"
"Look at me, your emotions are heightened right now, it's part of the transformation, it's completely normal, I promise you okay?" He told her.
Caroline sees her face changing in the mirror and starts to panic. "Why does this keeping happening to my face?!"
"Look at me, look at me, look at me! Caroline, Caroline! Look at me! Look at my face, look at my face!" His face has changed too. "You see that? When you feel the blood rushing, you tell yourself that you're going to get through it, that you're strong enough. Yes, yes, no matter how good it feels to give yourself over to it, you fight it off, you bury it. Watch me, watch me." His face is normal again. "It's the only way you're gonna survive this thing. Try."
She takes a few breaths, her face is normal again.
"That's good"
"Why did Marie do this to me?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know, I wish I did. Hey, hey, I promise you I will not let anything happen to you. Come here." He embraces her. Elena couldn't help but smile.
Tori is still with Bonnie. "I can't believe this is happening." Bonnie said.
Damon arrives with a shovel in his hands. "Come on, don't pout about it, I've got a body to bury." He looks at Tori. "I thought you were calling the shots, no? It sucks to be you, buddy."
Bonnie looks at him and gives him a headache; he takes his head between his head and falls on the floor. She opens the faucet with her powers and water is going out from the hose. "I told you what would happen if anyone else got hurt."
"I didn't do this."
"Bonnie, it wasn't his fault." Tori spoke up.
"Everything that happens is his fault Tori." She told her.
"Bonnie, what are you doing?" Tori asked. Bonnie creates a fire, the fire goes toward Damon. "Bonnie stop it!" Damon is burning. "Bonnie, Bonnie, stop it! You're going to kill him!"
Damon is still burning. "Bonnie!" She jumps over the fire line and catches Bonnie's arm. The fire is vanquished as Bonnie's concentration is broke.
"Why did you stop me?!" Bonnie questioned.
"Because this isn't us. Bonnie, this can't be us." Tori looks at Damon and embraces Bonnie. They leave.
Elena is at her locker. Stefan arrives. "Hey. Caroline is okay for now, I'm gonna check in on her later." Stefan told her.
"What about the guy that she-"
"It's taken care of." Stefan replied.
"Damon's right, isn't he?" Elena asked. "It won't end well for her."
"No, I'm gonna make sure that he's wrong."
Elena shook her head. "I just can't believe what this day has turned into."
"Not your normal day, huh?"
"I was stupid to think that it could be." Elena said. "I mean, nothing about my life is normal. My best friend is a witch, my friend is a vampire and my twin and I have a doppelgänger's who's hell-bent on destroying all of us."
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
"No, it's not your fault, Stefan. It's no one's fault you know? It is what it is." He touches her face. "I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just that… you know what? I'm fine. I'm gonna to call you tomorrow, okay? Good night Stefan." She leaves.
"Good night"
At the Lockwood's mansion, Mason is talking with Carol. "I think it's good for Tyler to have you in the house." Carol told him.
"I appreciate that Carol." Mason replied.
"Oh, and I can see If I can dig up that stone you're looking for. It's bound to be tucked away in one of Richard's nooks and crannies."She goes up the stairs, Tyler arrives.
"Hey man, you heading up?" Mason asked.
"In a minute." He replied. "Good night mom."
"Good night Tyler." She said before leaving.
"Hey, I'm sorry about earlier, we're all good?" Mason questioned.
"Yeah, we're good."
"Alright."
He leaves. Tyler goes into his father's office, closes the door and opens his father's safe hiding under the carpet. He takes a box inside and opens it. There's the moonstone Mason is looking for inside. He takes it from the box and puts it in his pocket.
At the Salvatore Boarding house, Damon is pouring a glass of scotch. Jeremy is there behind him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"You don't lock your front door." Jeremy said.
"Yeah." Damon is going to drink.
"No I wouldn't...I laced it with vervain."
"Why would you do that?" Damon asked.
Jeremy has a stake in his hands. "So I could stake you… with this." He throws the stake on the floor. Damon picks it up.
"You came here to kill me?"
Jeremy shrugged, "It's only fair, you killed me first."
"What made your wisen up?" Damon questioned.
"My father hated vampires, my uncle too. They were absolute they knew exactly what they stood for and I figured maybe I should too." Jeremy explained. "I mean, stand for something but killing you, what's that gonna do?"
"Look, I don't do the big brother thing very well. Sorry, I don't have any milk and cookies to offer you."
"Dick." Jeremy hissed. He turns to leave.
"Wait." Damon called, "My father hated vampires too."
"He did?
"For the same reasons your dad did. Only it was 1864, people knew how to whittle." He shows him the stake. "Did you do this?"
"Yeah I tried; it's a lot harder than it looks."
At the Forbes' house, Caroline is laying on her bed when someone opens the window. She goes next to the window with her super speed. It's Matt. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if today's basket case period has expired." Matt replied.
"You know you should just go 'cause my mom is gonna be home soon."
"You've been dodging me all day." Matt told her. "I mean, I'm more insecure than you are now."
"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.
"It means that...you almost died and it really freaked me out and it got me thinking you know 'cause...I'm not in a position where I can lose someone else right now." He replied. "I realized, even though today I wanted to throttle you, I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with you and now it seems like you don't feel the same way." She kisses him and they embrace each other. Her face is changing so she takes a few breaths and her face becomes normal again.
At the Gilbert's house, Elena is sleeping; Stefan enters the room by the window. He kisses her on the cheek, she wakes up. "Hi." She greeted, "What time is it?"
"It's almost dawn." Stefan replied. "Come with me."
They are at the carnival. It's empty. "Stefan what are we doing here?" She asked. "We could get caught."
"I compelled the guard to on break so I could kiss my girlfriend at the top of the Ferris wheel." Stefan told her.
"Stefan-"
"We have to take these moments, Elena." He said. "What Katherine did to Caroline could just be the beginning and there are things with Tyler's family that we don't even understand yet and there's always the "D" word but I came back to this town to start a life with you. We can't forget to live it."
"But Stefan, how are we gonna get to the top?" He asked.
"I guess you'll just have to hold on tight."
She holds on and Stefan jumps to the top of the Ferris wheel and sits down. She laughs. "What?"
"It's just so nice to see you laugh." He smiled. They kiss.
"It's not going to get any easier, is it?"
"No, it's not." He replied honestly.
