Bad Moon Rising
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Tori and Marie.
Alaric arrives at the Salvatore's house, Elena, Stefan, Tori and Damon was already there.
Stefan smile. "Thanks for coming, Rick."
"Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, bourbon? Bourbon in your coffee?" Damon questioned.
"Elena mentioned you needed my help." Alaric mentioned.
"Yeah, we were hoping you could help shed some light on the Lockwood family." Stefan told him.
"Now, why would I know anything about the Lockwood's?" Alaric asked.
"Well, you wouldn't." Damon replied. "But your dead not dead vampire wife might."
"Isobel's research from when you guys were at Duke together." Elena added.
"You said that she had spent years researching this town." Stefan mentioned. Alaric nods. "Isobel's research here in Mystic Falls rooted in folklores and legends but at the time I thought much of which was fiction."
Damon smirks. "Like that amazing vampire story."
"Aside from vampires, what else?" Elena asked.
"The lycanthrope."
"Wait, like werewolves?" Tori questioned.
"No way, impossible, way too Lon Chaney." Damon said.
"Is it?" Stefan asked.
"I've been on this planet one hundred and sixty some odd years, never came across one. If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?"
At the Lockwood mansion Tyler observing Mason. Mason is going outside the house, he's going to run. Mason running in the woods. Tyler is following him. Mason goes into the ruins.
"Why do you suspect the Lockwoods?" Alaric questioned.
"Because vervain didn't affect the mayor at Founder's day but the Gilbert device did and it affected his son Tyler." Damon replied.
"And at the school carnival his uncle Mason exhibited inhuman behavior when he fought with one of the carnival's worker." Stefan told him. "It suggest it's some sort of a supernatural entity."
"We were hoping that Isobel's research could help us figure it out what it is." Tori spoke up.
"Well, all her things are still at Duke." Alaric said. "I mean her office is still there, she's technically still missing."
"So can we get access to it?" Damon sighed when Alaric din't answer. "Rick, we need to know what we are dealing with. If this wolf men thing is true, I've seen enough movies to know it's not good. It means Mason Lockwood is a real life Lon Chaney and that little Tyler punk may just very well be Lon Chaney junior which means Bella Lugosi, meaning me, is totally screwed."
Matt is knocking at Caroline's door. Caroline is in the house but she can't answer because of the sunlight. "Caroline. Caroline!" Called.
He calls her on her phone but she doesn't answer so he leaves a message. "Hey, I thought you said you were at home. Tyler is doing this whole thing at the swimming hole and I want us to spend the day together. Where are you? Call me." He hangs up and leaves.
Jenna and Alaric are talking and waiting for Elena and Tori. "It's been a while" Jenna said awkwardly.
"Well, the school has been keeping me busy." Alaric replied.
"I want you to know it means a lot to me that Elena and Tori have a connection to her mother." Jenna said. "I appreciate you bringing her along today."
"Yeah, I figured it was time to take care of my wife's things you know." He told her. "Look Jenna, I know things between you and I have been a little start and stop and I'm sorry for that but maybe once I can-"
"Uh…no, don't do that." Jenna stopped him. "Not the half maybe apology hope for the future thing." Damon is honking. "Elena?! Tori?! Are you coming?" She looks at Alaric. "Do what you need to do okay?"
Stefan, Elena and Tori are going down the stairs. "Hey, are you okay?" Tori asked.
"Yeah, just, men and their baggage." Jenna answered.
They go outside. Damon is waiting at the car. "Sorry you can't come too, Stef"
Elena catches Stefan by the neck and kisses him in front of Damon and Tori. They just stood their awkwardly. After Elena and Stefan pulled away, she got in the car.
"Call me if you need anything" Stefan announced.
"Oh, I'll take really good care of her." Damon put his hand around Tori's shoulder and she shrugged him off. "Okay, time to go" He goes into the car, Tori too.
At the Lockwood's mansion, Tyler is talking with his mother. "Have you ever been down to those old ruins in the woods?" He asked.
"The old Lockwood estate?" Caroline questioned.
"Yeah. What do you know about it?" He asked again.
"It was the original plantation house." She answered. "Beautiful antebellum architecture and if it hadn't burn to the ground we'd probably be living in it."
"What's the deal with the freaky underground cellar?"
Carol shook her head. "We don't talk about those kind of rooms."
"Why not?" Tyler asked.
"Well, this is the South, honey, but no one likes to reminisce about the old slave days." She told him.
Mason enters the room. "Hey." He greeted. "What you guys are talking about?"
"We were just talking about the old Lockwood property." Tyler replied. "Taking some friends over the swim hole."
"Well, be careful. If anything happens on the property the family is liable." Carol told him.
"Of course."
Stefan and Bonnie are sitting at a table, at Mystic Grill. "I don't know how to make a day-walking ring." Bonnie says.
"Emily made mine, she made Damon's too, instructions must be in the Grimoire." Stefan explained.
"That doesn't mean I can cast the spell." Bonnie said.
"Bonnie, you know how to drop vampires with a single look, okay? I think you can figure it out."
"Caroline killed someone, Stefan." Bonnie replied. "I can't make it easier for her to do it again."
"No, we're not making it easier for her; we're just giving her the chance to survive." Stefan told her. "Listen, every day that she's cut off from her old life: from you, from Elena, from Tori, from Matt, it'll make It that much harder for her to hold on to her humanity."
"And how do you know she won't hurt anyone else?"
"I don't but if we don't do everything we can to help her or at least trust the fact that she can keep it together, we might as well just stake her right now."
"I don't know if I can trust her, not with this." Bonnie admitted.
"Then trust me." Stefan told her.
Damon, Tori, Elena and Alaric are in the car, going to Duke. Damon looks at Tori. "How are you doing back there?" Damon asked. "You know, this whole pretending to hate me thing is getting a little silly."
"I don't think she's pretending." Alaric muttered. "You did kill her brother."
"There is a huge asterisk next to that statement: he came back to life."
"Yeah, thanks to a ring you didn't know he was wearing." Elena spoke up.
"Why are you so sure I didn't know?" Damon asked.
"Did you?" Tori questioned.
"Yes"
"You're lying" She told him.
"Tori, I saw the ring! It's a big tacky thing, it's hard to miss." He rolled his eyes.
Bonnie, Caroline and Stefan are in Caroline's bedroom. Bonnie has Emily's grimoire in her hands. Caroline has the ring in her hands. "So, I don't get to choose the ring I have to wear the rest of my life?" Caroline questioned.
"Hey, if you don't want it-"
"No, no, she wants it" Stefan stopped her.
"Now what?" Caroline asked.
"Now is the part where I explain the rules." Bonnie replied. "The witch who spells the ring has the power to dispel it so if you ever do anything to hurt anyone-"
"I'm not gonna hurt anyone"
"You are a vampire that mean the urge to kill is a part of who you are. The minute you let it take over, I will stop you" Bonnie told her.
"Bonnie, you're supposed to be my friend." Caroline reminded her.
"I can't ignore what happened okay? If you want to be friends, you have to prove that the Caroline Iremember isn't gone. Now put the ring on the bed."
Caroline puts the ring on the bed. "Do you really think I meant to kill that guy at the carnival?"
"He's still dead. Now, do you want me to cast the spell or not?"Bonnie opens a little bit the curtain. The sun is going on the ring. Bonnie looks at the ring and closes her eyes a moment and finally opens them. "All done"
She gives the ring to Caroline. She takes the ring and puts it on her finger. "So that's it? I mean nothing witchy happened. You know, no flickering lights, no gust of wind. Have you even done this before?"
"Caroline" Stefan said.
"I just want to make sure that worked."
Bonnie opens the curtain. "It worked"
"What if it hadn't Bonnie ?!" Caroline questioned.
Bonnie looks at Stefan. "She's all yours" She takes the grimoire and leaves.
Alaric, Elena, Tori and Damon arrive at Duke.
"So Isobel was officially employed by the anthropology department given that most paranormal phenomenon is rooted in folklore." Alaric arrive at an office. "Excuse me, hi. I'm Alaric Saltzman, I called earlier"
"Yes, of course." She smiled. "I'm Vanessa Monroe, research assistant comparative folklore" She looks strangely at Elena and Tori. "Uh, let me just grab Isobel's keys"
Alaric stopped her. "These are my friends Tori, Elena and Damon. I hope this isn't too much of an imposition."
"Oh please, Isobel's office is right through there." Vanessa replied. "Isobel was one of my first professors. I'm a grad student, she was brilliant and one of the reasons I went into folklore. Uh I have to ask, has there been any news?"
"No, I'm afraid not"
"It's this way" She opens Isobel's office door, they follow her and enter the room. "I'll grab the light, feel free to look around. It's fascinating isn't it?" She leaves.
Alaric, Damon, Elena and Tori are looking everywhere.
"Where did she go?" Damon asked.
Vanessa comes back with a crossbow, pointing it at Elena. Tori notice her and pushes Elena out the way just as Vanessa shoots an arrow. Damon puts himself in front of Tori to protect her. He receives the arrow in his back. Alaric catches her and pushes her against the wall.
Elena is removing the arrow from Damon's back. "Pull it out. I can't reach it Tori. Just pull the damn thing out. It hurts" He told her. She removes the arrow. "That bitch is dead." Damon hissed.
"You're not gonna kill her." Elena spoke up.
"Watch me."
"You touch her and I swear I will never speak to you again." Tori told him.
"What makes you think that has any power over me? Because I took an arrow in the back for you?" Damon questioned. "You're severely overestimating yourself."
"Right. I forgot that I was speaking to a psychotic mind who snaps and kills people impulsively." Tori folded her arms. "Fine, go ahead, do whatever you want."
"You're trying to manipulate me."
"If by "manipulate" you mean "tell the truth" okay, guilty." She held her hands up. She looks at him and leaves.
Alaric is with Vanessa."Please!" She begged. "I freaked out okay? Alright, you would have done the same thing, it's not possible! Marie or Katherine Pierce can't be alive and Damon Salvatore died in 1864. Okay, I read Isobel's research."
"Well, then you should know just how possible this is." Alaric replied. Elena, Tori and Damon arrive.
"I'm Elena Gilbert, this is my sister Tori Gilbert." Elena introduced. "We're Isobel's daughters and descendants of Katherine and Marie Pierce."
"And this is Damon Salvatore who you just shot." Tori told her.
"I'd be extra nice to me right now."
"Look, we need your help okay?" Tori said ignoring Damon. "We need to see all of Isobel's research, anything related to Mystic Falls."
Caroline and Stefan are in the woods, hunting. "
"So what I do when I see the rabbit?" Caroline asked.
"Chase it, catch it, feed on it." Stefan replied.
"Isn't killing cute defenseless animals the first step in becoming a serial killer?" She asked.
"Well, you sort of skipped the serial killer and went straight to vampire." He said. "Caroline, if you're not serious about all of this I think you should tell me."
"No I am. Look, I swear that I am okay? But it's just… I haven't been in the sun for days and everyone is at the swimming hole having fun and Matt is there!" Caroline babbled on. "And he finally told me that he loved me but I have been blowing him off and now you want me to eat bunnies and I'm kind of freaking out okay?!" She look at him to see him laughing. "And now you're laughing at me."
Stefan shook his head. "No, no, I'm not laughing. None of this is funny, trust me. It's just that…"
"What?!"
"When someone becomes a vampire, all of their natural behaviors get sort of amplified." He replied.
"What do you mean?" She questioned.
"I mean… as a human I cared deeply for people, how they felt. If they were hurting I felt their pain and I felt guilty if I was the one who caused it and as a vampire all of that got… magnified." He explained.
"So you're saying that now I'm basically an insecure, neurotic control freak... on crack?"
"Well, I wasn't gonna say it like that but… hey, listen, let's hunt okay?" He said. "And then after that we'll go to the swimming hole."
"Really?" She smiled.
"Yeah." He replied. "Matt is the closest connection that you have to your humanity and I think that being around him is a good thing."
"Okay."
At Duke University, Vanessa is bringing a box to Elena and Tori. "This box checks Katherine and Marie's arrival to Mystic Falls in April 1864." Vanessa said.
"Is that all there is about her?" Elena questioned.
"All that I'm aware of." Vanessa replied.
There is vervain in the box. Tori looks at Damon and gives some of it to Vanessa. "Here, take this."
They are whispering. Damon is in the other room, looking for information. "Does vervain really work?" Vanessa asked.
"Nope, not at all." Damon replied.
"Can he hear us?"
"No, that would be creepy." He said.
"Can he read minds too?" Vanessa joked. "You know, if you want to see me naked, all you have to do is ask." Damon smirked.
"No, that he can't do." Tori replied. "He is very capable of being a first rate jackass." Vanessa puts the vervain in her pocket, Damon smiles.
Everyone is at the swimming hole. "Is it me or did Aimee Bradley's ass get hot?" Tyler asked.
Matt nodded. "All class."
"Where is Forbes?" Tyler asked.
"I wish I knew." Matt replied.
"You guys are on the outs already?"
"No." He shook his head. "We're fine. I'm fine. I'm just not sure what she is." Matt spots Mason arriving. "What's your uncle doing here?"
Tyler rejoins him at the car. "You busting us or you joining us?"
"Neither." Mason replied. "Hoping you can make sure everyone is out of here by dark."
"What happens after dark?" Tyler questioned.
"Someone ends up wasted and dead at the bottom of the lake." Mason answered which made Tyler laugh. "You heard your mom. The family is liable if anything happens."
"Don't be a party killer."
"Hey, I didn't say you had to stop partying, I just said you had to take it elsewhere."
"Alright, we'll be out of here." Tyler told him.
Mason leaves, he passes next to Stefan and Caroline. He looks at Stefan and Stefan looks at him. "Why are you looking at him with your serious vampire look?" Caroline asked.
"My what? My "vampire serious look"?" Stefan questioned.
"Hum hum." Caroline replied. "I mean it's different from your worried vampire look, neither of which stray too far from your "hey-it's-Tuesday" look"
"I get it, okay. You think I'm… you think I'm too serious. Is that it?"
"I mean I was not gonna say it like that but…"
Matt is alone, Amy Bradley joins him. "Hey Aimee." Matt greeted.
"You know, you're missing all the fun in the water." Aimee told him.
He shows her his cast. "Not waterproof."
"Too bad." Aimee replied. "So, there's a full moon tonight. We're gonna light a fire later and tells ghost stories."
"Uh, I don't know"
Caroline arrives. "Matt" She greeted.
"What the hell?" Matt asked. "I've been calling you"
"I know, I got held up but I'm here now" She looks at Aimee.
"Hi Caroline" Aimee said.
Caroline starts to compel her. "Go find somebody single to stalk, Aimee." Aimee leaves.
"Seriously?"
"She was flirting with you." Caroline told him.
"She's harmless; you don't have to be rude." He said.
"You're mad?" Caroline questioned.
"You've been dodging my calls all day and you get to show up here and be the jealous girlfriend?" Matt said which came out as question. "It' kind of lame, Care." He looks at her and leaves.
Stefan approaches her. "Hey, I saw that. You compelled her."
"Yeah, she deserved it."
"Caroline, nobody deserves to have their mind mess for shallow reasons" He told her.
"You know, why is everyone sticking up for Aimee freaking Bradley?" She asked frustratingly.
"You're letting the jealousy to get the best of you."
"Oh, so now I have magnified jealousy issues too." She rolled her eyes. "It's great"
"I told you this wasn't gonna be easy" Stefan said.
"Yeah, well, I might as well stay dead. My entire personality is killing me." She said. He smiles. "Shut up."
Elena, Tori, Damon and Alaric are still in Isobel's office, looking for information.
"Any luck?" Damon asked.
"There's nothing in here about Marie and Katherine that we don't already know." Tori told him.
"Ah, you know, it's a bummer we're not friends anymore because I could tell you what I know." He replied.
"Now who's manipulating who?"
"Hey guys, check this out." Alaric spoke up.
"There's no record of werewolf mythology in Mystic Falls but here are some records of some of the lesser known legends. Everything from Scandinavian skin walkers to Aztecs legends." Vanessa said.
She gives them a book with drawings. "It's translate into the "curse of the sun and the moon"
"It's Native American." Alaric said.
"Aztec. It explains one origin of the werewolf curse traced through Virginia. The short story: 600 years ago, the Aztecs were plagued by werewolves and vampires. They terrorized the countryside, made farming and hunting impossible until an Aztec shaman cursed them, making vampires slaves to the sun and werewolves servants of the moon." Vanessa explained. "As a result, vampires could only prowl at night and werewolves could only turn on a full moon. When the full moon crests in the sky, who's ever unlucky enough to fall under the werewolf curse turns into a wolf."
"Can they control the transformation?" Damon asked.
"If it were a choice, it wouldn't be called a curse." Vanessa replied. "Werewolves will attack humans but instinct and centuries of rivalry have hardwire them to hunt their prey of choice: vampires."
"Well, if werewolves were hunting vampires, I would know about it." He said.
"Not if there aren't that many werewolves left alive. Hundreds of years ago vampires hunted them almost to extinction."
"Why would they do that?" Elena questioned.
"To protect themselves." Vanessa replied. "Legend has it, a werewolf bite is fatal to the vampires."
It's night. Everybody is leaving the swimming hole because Tyler asked them to. Matt is alone. Stefan and Caroline are looking at him. "He's mad at me." Caroline said.
"Go talk to him. I'll wait." Stefan told her. His phone start to ring. He answer it: it's Elena. "Hey."
"Hi." Elena greeted. "Listen we've learned some stuff here and I know it's gonna sound crazy but I wanted to fill you in."
"What's up?"
Caroline rejoins Matt. "Still mad?"
"I thought we were passed all this insecurity stuff, Caroline." Matt said. "I told you how I felt about you, what more do you need?"
"Nothing. Nothing." Caroline replied. "I don't need anything else. I'm sorry Matt, I'm so sorry. I'm so, so, so, so, sorry."
"I'm not kidding. I'm not gonna put up with the drama."
"No, no more drama. Just… I promise." She kisses him.
"Come on." They both leave.
Stefan is still on the phone with Elena. "I don't know what that means or if we should even believe it but it's a full moon, Stefan." Elena said. "After what you saw Mason Lockwood do."
"I'll be careful" Stefan assured her.
"There's one more thing."
"What is it?" Stefan asked.
"According to the legend, a werewolf bite can kill a vampire." Elena told him.
Stefan looks everywhere. He doesn't see Caroline or Matt. "Listen, I got to go. I'll see you when you get home okay?"
"Okay"
He hangs up and calls Caroline but she forgot her phone in her bag, in Matt's car. He goes in the woods.
Mason is chaining up himself into the Lockwood's old estate ruins but Aimee and Tyler arrive so he's forced to leave.
"Not much farther, Aimee." Tyler told her.
"Really Tyler?" Aimee questioned. "You dragged me all the way out here?"
"I had to move the party so I'm moving the party."
"Where are we going?" Aimee asked.
"It's right around this tree." Tyler replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Oh yeah, come on" They enter the ruin.
"What is this place?" Aimee asked.
"It's a ruin buried underneath my family's old estate." Tyler replied. "No one will know we're down here."
"Is everyone else coming?"
"Yeah, unless you rather I tell them not to" Tyler said.
"You're single, right?" Aimee asked simply.
"Oh yeah"
"Let's go"
Mason is running through the woods and tries to chain himself to a tree. He looks at the moon and begins to scream. He runs toward his car and enters it, screaming. He closes the door. The car is moving a lot, he screams after that we hear something growling in the car.
Elena and Tori are looking in a box and finds a picture of Katherine and Marie. "Hey, have you done any research on doppelgängers?" Elena asked.
"Well, the word means a lot of different things to different cultures, but typically a doppelgänger is a living, breathing double of oneself." Vanessa replied.
"Did Isobel have anything that explained the link between me, Elena and Katherine and Marie?" Tori questioned.
"That's all she had on the, unfortunately but I can tell you that doppelgängers usually torment the people they look like, thying to undue their lives." Vanessa explained. "It's not exactly uplifting."
"And more things we already know." Elena said.
"I want to know why we look alike." Tori muttered.
"Head scratcher, isn't it?" Damon asked.
"Do you know something, or are you just being yourself?" She quetioned.
"Well, if I know anything, I'm not goinna tell you with that attitude." He replied.
"That's no good, Damon, and this is coming from someone who wants to be my friend, but you know what? Friends don't manipulate friends, they help each other."
At the Lockwood's old estate ruins, Tyler and Aimee are kissing.
"Wait, wait." Aimee pulled away. "No, I'm sorry."
"What's the deal? Come on." He leaned in.
"No, no, no." She pushed his away softly. "Wait, wait, wait, I can't. I'm not into it."
"Then why did you come with me?"
"I don't know but I'm not even sure why I was flirting with you." She replied. "I like Matt."
"Ouch. Um… okay." He said.
"I'm gonna go"
"Yeah"
"Sorry" She apologized before leaving.
Stefan is in the woods, looking for Caroline when he hears an animal growling. He sees Mason's cars and goes toward it. He sees chains on the floor and looks into the car and sees yellow eyes. A wolf jumps through the window, falls on him and leaves.
At Duke University, Alaric and Vanessa are outside. "I trust you're not gonna say anything about this to anyone." Alaric said.
"Or else Damon will kill me in my sleep?" She asked. "He gave me the 411, but if you need anything, you can call."
"Hopefully I won't have to." He replied.
"But if you do…"
"Listen, you don't want to get caught up in this. Really, it'll take over and will keep from being able to live your life." He told her.
"Isobel's disappearance… is it related to her research?" Vanessa asked.
"Isobel became her research." Alaric replied. "She wanted to become a vampire and she got her wish."
"I guess that would put a strain on a marriage."
"Anyway, I was wondering what it would be like to come back here. It's… it's okay, it's really okay." He said. "It feels good to have her in my past. You know, it' time to move behind this."
A little while later, Elena, Tori, Damon and Alaric was in the car on the way back to Mystic Falls. Damon gives Tori and Elena a book. "You girls didn't dig deep enough."
Elena looks at the book and reads what's written on it. " Petrova. I saw this on a shelf." She remember.
"Katherine and Marie originally came from Europe. Petrova was their real name." Damon explained. "Katerina Petrova and Maria Petrova, to be exact"
"How did you know that?" Tori asked.
"Back when, I saw it engraved on an old heirloom. Men snoop too, you know. Let me know what you find, I'm very curious myself." Damon replied. He smiled at her but she look away. "You have every right to hate me, I understand but you hated me before and we became friends. I know you feel something for me. It would suck if that was gone forever. So, is it? Have I lost you forever?" He questioned.
"Thank you for the book, Damon." She ignored the questioned.
Caroline and Matt are in the woods, talking. "This looks like the spot." Matt said.
"For what?" Caroline asked.
They kiss. They hear an animal. "Did you hear that?" He asked. She looks at him and kisses him. He pushes him against a tree and kisses him again but Matt hurts himself. "Ah, damn."
"What happened?"
"I'm a klutz. What's the matter?" Matt shows Caroline his wrist. It's bleeding. Caroline starts to drink his blood. "Caroline? What are you doing? Ah! Caroline! Caroline!" Her face has changed; she stops and looks at him. "Caroline! Your face!"
She bites him on the neck and drinks his blood but Stefan arrives and takes her away from Matt. "Stop it! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Stefan demanded.
Her face is normal again but Matt faints and fall. "Oh my god."
"No, no, no, stop. Listen to me. We need to get out of these woods now." He told her. "We need to leave."
"What was that?"
"Matt, stay down. Do not move." He ordered. They hear noise all around them. "You and me, we're gonna run. It's going to follow us; we need to lead it away from Matt. You need to run as fast as you can. Do you understand me? Go, go!"
They run and arrive to old ruins but Caroline stops. "Wait! What is it?!"
"It's a werewolf! He will try to kill us and he can!" Stefan explained.
Tyler arrives. "Hey! What are you two doing?"
"What are you doing?"
The werewolf rushes into Caroline. She falls on the floor, the werewolf is on her. Stefan rushes on the werewolf with his powers and pushes him. "No!" Tyler called. The werewolf looks at him and leaves.
Caroline is compelling Matt. "You're not going to remember what I did to you or what you saw me become."
"We were just making out in the woods." Matt nodded.
"And then an animal attacked you and bit your neck." Caroline compelled.
"It's weird; it just came out of nowhere."
She looks at him and rejoins Stefan. "What are we gonna do about Tyler?"
"I took care of it and I will get Matt on vervain, it'll keep you from being able to compel him and also to keep you from drinking his blood." Stefan told her.
"I can't believe I hurt him."
"I know" He agreed.
Caroline shook her head. "He is the one person on this entire planet that I never wanted to hurt."
"It's not going to get any easier." Stefan replied. "You're just gonna have to work that much harder."
"I shouldn't be with him, should I? Because if there is any danger…"
"I'm the last person to make that kind of decision for you." He said. "If I had follow my own advice, I would walked away from Elena a long time ago."
"You ever think you should have?" She asked.
"I know I should have, I just can't"
Tyler is in the woods. He looks at Mason's car and Mason arrives. "Wanna toss me those?" Mason asked.
He passes him a bag. "It was you?" Tyler asked. Mason nods.
Matt is alone at a table, Aimee arrives and talks with him. Caroline looks at them and rejoins them. "Seriously Aimee?" Caroline asked.
"We were just talking." Aimee replied.
"Oh, that's what you call it?" She asked.
"Yeah"
"Are you kidding me?" Matt asked frustratingly.
"No, I'm not Matt." Caroline replied. "She's into you and anyone can see it."
"Look, I'm sorry." Aimee apologized. "I didn't mean to… I'm just gonna go." She leaves.
"Knock it off. What are you doing?" Matt asked.
"This isn't my fault Matt, okay? She's after you and I shouldn't have to put up with that."
"I thought you said no more drama?" He asked.
"Well, I lied." She admitted.
"Just forget it, just forget all of it."
"So what, are you like breaking up with me?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's what I'm doing." He looks at her and leaves.
At Gilbert's house, Jenna is in the kitchen; Alaric arrives.
"Rick, I wasn't expecting you, Tori and Elena until later." Jenna said.
He looks at her and kisses her. "I should have done that this morning." He smiled before kissing her again.
Tori and Damon are on the porch. "Road trips work well for us." He smiled.
"his doesn't mean that things are back to the way they used to be, Damon." She told him.
"Oh come on! You know I chipped a little bit off of your wall of hatred."
"I need to know the truth. When you broke Jeremy's neck, did you know that he was wearing the ring?" She replied.
"No. No, I didn't. Marie really pissed me off and I snapped and… I got lucky with the ring. I don't know what I would done of he wasn't wearing it." He admitted. "Tori, I'm sorry."
"Thank you for being honest with me" Tori replied. "The answer to your question, you have lost me forever."
"But you knew that already, didn't you? You used me today." He said.
"You had information about Katherine and Marie that I needed to know." She shrugged.
"Marie lied to me about loving me but then she told me the truth." He said. "But you, your string me along. You and Marie have a lot more in common than just your looks." He looks at her and leaves.
Caroline is in her bed. She wakes up, Katherine and Marie are here "Elena? Tori?" Caroline questioned.
"Nope, try again." Katherine replied.
"Katherine and Marie."
Marie sits down on her bed; Caroline moves away from her. "Don't be frightened." Marie told her.
"We're going to have so much fun together." Katherine smiled.
