Twice the Love: Twice the Trouble
2x07
Masquerade
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Tori and Marie.
At the Salvatore Boarding House, Caroline is sitting on the couch. Damon gives her a glass of blood. "Here."
Caroline immediately took the cup. "I'm still shaking." She said as she drank the blood.
Stefan approaches them. "What happened?" He questioned.
"Go ahead, tell him." Damon ordered. He looked at Stefan "You're gonna love this."
"I saw Katherine and Marie today." She whispered.
"Where?" Stefan asked.
"At the grill. I just stopped by to gawk and... quasi-stalk Matt."
Caroline's looking at Matt. He didn't know she was staring at him until he looked up. "Do you need a table?" He questioned.
"No, I'm not staying." She replied. "I just needed to use the little girls' room." She mentally slapped herself.
"Skip the teen drama and get to it." Damon said.
"Then I had to pretend to use the bathroom even though I didn't really have to go because I'm a doofus." Caroline continued.
Caroline is in the bathroom. She's washing her hands when Katherine and Marie arrives. They are posing as Elena and Tori. "Elena? Tori?" Caroline asked.
"Hey, I saw you with Matt, are you okay?" Katherine asked with fake concern.
"Yeah, you know... whatever." Caroline tries to super speed passed Katherine, but Marie grabs her and pulls her back.
"You're good." Marie complimented. "What gave us away? Was it the hair? Or was it the clothes?"
"I know...I know Elena and Tori's at home." Caroline said.
"We need you to deliver a message." Katherine said.
"Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood." Marie told her. "Tonight, at the masquerade ball."
"She wants to do it in public." Stefan said after Caroline was finished. "Killing Mason threw her off guard."
"She's running scared no doubt her sister is too." Damon added. "What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks."
"We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her."
"Can we just give them the moonstone so they'll leave?" Caroline spoke up.
Damon shook his head. "No, Katherine nor Marie are getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm gonna kill her, tonight.
"You're not gonna kill Katherine." Stefan stated.
"Don't give me that goody-goody crap."
"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan re[eated.
"Really?" Damon asked.
"Because I am."
At the Gilbert's house, Jenna is coming home from the hospital. Jeremy, Matt, Tori and Elena are helping her. "Easy. Grab the door Jer." Matt told Jeremy.
"Hey, stop fussing, I'm fine." Jenna said reassuringly.
"The doctors said that you have to take it easy." Elena told her.
"Yeah, you don't want to rip your stitches, hemorrhage and die, alright?" Jeremy smirked.
"Yeah, the only thing I'm gonna die from is embarrassment." Jenna snorted.
"No." Tori said.
"I walked into a knife. How does somebody do that?" Jenna asked.
"It was a freak accident." Elena lied.
"It happens." Tori agreed.
"Yeah, I mean I've done it like 20 times at the grill." Matt told her. Jenna laughs, then winces in pain. "Okay, I'm being nice." They put her on the couch. "What should I do with this?" He asked holding up a bag with groceries.
"I got it." Elena told him. He gives her a bag with food. Matt stays with Jenna. Both Elena and Tori go in the kitchen. Jeremy follows them.
"So what are we gonna do?" Jeremy questioned.
"Make lunch." Elena replied.
"No, about Katherine and Marie"
"We're not gonna do anything, Jeremy." Tori told him.
"She tried to kill Jenna." Jeremy reminded her. "We can't let her get away with that."
"Yes we can. If it keeps us safe then we can." Elena spoke up.
"And what if she tries something else?" He asked.
"She won't. Katherine and Marie hurt Jenna because I didn't do what they said. I'm not doing it now, me and Stefan are over." Elena said.
"They wins, the end." Tori added.
"You are being naïve and you know it." He said before leaving the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Elena called.
"Out. I'll be back."
Marie and Katherine enter the bedroom that they were staying in. They were carrying shopping bags. Mrs. Flowers was right behind them.
"Where should I put these?" Mrs. Flowers asked.
"Right there." Katherine pointed at the nearby chair.
"Thank you, Mrs. Flowers." Marie smiled. "You've been such a wonderful help."
"Oh, it's my pleasure dear. Let me know if there's anything else I can do." Mrs. Flowers replied with a smile.
"We will."
Miss Flowers smiled again before leaving the room.
Katherin takes a dress from one of the bags. A woman is in the bedroom. Marie was the first to notice but before she could say anything, Katherine rushes over Lucy and pushes her against the wall.
"Oh, Kat, chill." Lucy told her.
"Do not sneak up on a vampire." Katherine warned.
"Don't attack a witch." Lucy said back. "It's good to see you girls." Lucy hugs Katherine then Marie.
"I'm glad you made it."
"You called, I came." Lucy said simply.
"Like you had a choice." Marie spoke up.
"Don't get all boss lady on me. You know I love you." She takes a mask from one of the bags. "Now, where does one where this?"
"To a masquerade ball." Marie replied. "Tonight. You want to be my date?"
At the Salvatore boarding house, Caroline opens the front door and Bonnie is there. "Hey, come on in." Caroline smiled.
"I got Stefan's message." Bonnie said.
"Hey, you brought the grimoire, thank you." Stefan smiled thankfully.
Bonnie sees Damon and Alaric talking and she sees that there are a lot a weapon on the table. "What's going on?"
"We're gonna kill Katherine and Marie." Jeremy explained.
"I can explain." Stefan said.
"Please."
"We're gonna kill Katherine and Marie." Stefan repeated.
Alaric shows the weapon to everybody. "This works with compressed air. The trigger mechanism is up here. I have two of these in a different size. For you I recommend this. It fits nicely under the jacket sleeve. You use the trigger when you're ready." He fakes killing a vampire. Damon and Stefan look at each other. "You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire."
Back at Katherine and Marie's little bedsit. Marie and Katherine are straightening their curly hair, while Marie sat around the table, Katherine stood in front of the full size mirror.
"What's with the hair?" Lucy asked.
"We're impersonating our dullest dishwater doppelgängers Elena and Tori." Katherine explained. "They have the worst taste."
"Except in man." Lucy smirked. "Isn't it a risk pretending to be them in front of the entire town?"
"We've gotten quite good at it actually and everyone's gonna be in masks." Marie replied. "It's for some feed this, something charity. It's for a good cause Lucy."
"Hum, okay. Well, have you actually seen the moonstone before? I always thought it was some made up legend."
"We have seen it and we need you to help me get it back." Katherine told her.
"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do with it?" Lucy questioned. Marie and Katherine look at each other. "You want me to break the curse."
"Let's just get it first."
Bonnie is talking with Stefan. "I know you love Elena and you want to be with her but it's risky. Too many people could get hurt."
"Look, I want Elena back, yes but it's more than that." Stefan told her. "What Katherine did to Jenna it crossed the line. She has to be stopped before it happens again."
Bonnie sighed. "I don't know, Stefan."
"Katherine knows me, right?" "Stefan said. She knows that I'm not gonna try something in a crowd full of innocent people so that gives me an edge. I could catch her by surprise."
"What about her sister, Marie?" Bonnie asked.
"Damon's got her under control"
"I could do a spell to trap them, like the tomb spell." Bonnie told him.
"Right. We can isolate them, away from the others. Please Bonnie." He begged.
"Okay."
At the Gilbert's house, Tori, Elena and Matt are talking. Matt is leaving. "You're welcome to hang out. Alaric's coming over. It's gonna be pizza and bad TV." Elena told him.
"I'd love to but I'm going to the masquerade party at the Lockwoods, aren't you?" Matt asked.
Elena shook her head. "Uh, no… not with what's going on with me and Stefan."
"What about you?" He looked at Tori.
"Oh, no" She replied.
"I've got to go, there's something I got to do."
"What?" Tori eyed him suspiciously.
"Just something, I can't talk about it but I've got to go." He replied.
"Okay. Well, have fun." Tori told him.
"Yeah. Me and a suit."
"You look good in a suit." Elena said.
"You and Stefan will work it out." Matt assured her.
"I don't think so, Matt." She replied. "There's so much about me and Stefan that'll never work."
"You know I'm here for you always." She embraces him.
Back at the Salvatore boarding house, everyone is in the living room. "Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Alaric asked.
"No, I need you to stay with Elena and Tori. I don't want them to know about this." Stefan told him.
Alaric nodded. "Okay. Well, I'll make sure they don't leave my sight."
"Alright, if anybody wants to back out, I'll understand."
"Yeah. Cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong if someone chicken's out." Damon spoke up. "Caroline."
"I won't." Caroline replied. "Look, she killed me. Fair's fair. As long as there's no werewolf running around."
"Oh, I took care of Mason." Damon smirked.
"As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn." Jeremy said.
"Bonnie? Are you with us?" Stefan questioned.
There was a long pause before Bonnie finally nodded. "But no one gets hurt."
"Except Katherine and Marie." Damon added. "Tonight they get a stake through their hearts."
At the Lockwood Mansion, It's the masquerade ball. Everyone is wearing masks. Tyler is in his father's office. Carol joins him.
"It's already packed out there." Carol told him. "You know, we need to keep that door shut. Your father would be very unhappy if I let guests in here." Tyler gets up. He's wearing a suit. "Oh, look at you! So handsome."
"Thanks." Tyler replied. "You look pretty good too mom."
"Oh, a compliment. I think I'll fall over."
"Listen, I'm sorry I've been a dick lately...a jerk lately." He apologized. "It's just... Have you heard from Mason?"
Carol shook her head. "No and I don't think we're going to. He's coming, he's going, it's just his way. He's the exact opposite of your father."
"We should have cancelled this party."
"This whole masquerade theme was his idea. I don't know what it has to do with helping the homeless but once he made up his mind, he could really be a dick..." Carol laughed a little when she saw the surprise look on Tyler's face. "a jerk. But I loved him and I know you did too. It's natural to feel abandoned. I just don't want you to feel alone."
"Come on, put your mask on. Let's just go out there and pretend to have some fun." He told her.
"I think I need a cocktail first."
Marie, Katherine and Lucy arrive. Lucy walks a separate way from the sisters. Katherine takes a strawberry from a plate and walks into Matt.
"Elena? Tori?" Matt asked surprised.
"Matt? You look dashing." Katherine complimented playing along.
"I thought you said you weren't coming." He said.
"I couldn't miss it. You really are hot in a suit. I would love to just-"
"Elena." Marie interrupted, playing along as well.
"Okay, here's the deal." She compels him. "Do you know what you have to do?"
"I'm gonna get Tyler Lockwood really drunk. I'm going to start a fight with him and I'm gonna beat him until he snaps." Matt replied/
"And then?"
"I won't stop until he kills me." Matt added.
"God, you're hot. Now go away." Marie told him.
Damon and Stefan are outside. They look around for Marie and Katherine. "Do you see them?" Damon asked.
Stefan shook her head. "Nope. You're sure you can do this?"
Damon scoffed. "Who are you talking to?"
"Oh, I had the chance to kill Katherine and I hesitated." Stefan said.
"Well that is the fork in the road between you and me my friend. I don't hesitate."
"You spent 145 years loving Marie, it could happen." Stefan reminded him.
"I won't hesitate." Damon growled.
"Okay."
Matt and Tyler are in his father's office with Aimee and Sarah. The girls are dancing. The boys are drinking. "We're really not supposed to be in here." Tyler announced.
Matt nodded. "Yeah, I know but we really need to turn this party up. Another shot?"
"Hey, I want a shot." Aimee spoke up.
"Me too and then we have to dance." Sarah agreed.
"Yes."
"You know, usually it's me corrupting you." Tyler said. "I like this."
They drink. "Okay, let's go party. Come on." Aimee puts on her mask on. They leave the office.
Jeremy is carrying a bag. He and Bonnie are going upstairs. They enter an empty room. "I thought this room could work." Jeremy told her.
"It's perfect." Bonnie replied.
Jeremy takes a weapon from the bag. Bonnie sits down and takes out the grimoire. "Is that the spell book I read about in my family's old journal?" He asked.
"It's my ancestor, Emily's." Bonnie told him. "The spell I'm doing here is similar to the one that sealed the vampires into the tomb." She opens it.
Jeremy puts the bag in the closet. "Can you do all the stuff that's in there?"
"I mean it takes practice. I've worked on some small spells. Spells that only do good. I don't want to know too much. I don't particularly enjoy any of this, in case you haven't noticed."
"Yeah but you're 100% witch, that is so cool."
"It's anything but cool." Bonnie told him. "Did your family journals tell you what happened to Emily? Or what about my Grams? It never ends well for people like me."
"If you feel that way, why help?" Jeremy asked.
"Because I don't want anyone else getting hurt and I don't know how to stay out of it." She replied.
At the Gilbert's house, Jenna is on the couch with Tori and Elena. "I feel like an invalid." Jenna groaned.
"That's because you are an invalid." Tori replied. "Where's Jeremy? Isn't he hungry?"
"He already left for the Lockwood party." Jenna answered.
"He went to that?" Elena questioned.
"Yeah, I'm glad. He needs to have more fun. Lose some of that emo thing."
"Will you excuse us." Tori said. "We're gonna get some napkins." She stood up the same time as Elena. They go into the kitchen and joins Alaric. "What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" Ric asked.
Elena was the one who talked. "We haven't heard from anyone all day." She told him. "It's like everyone's been avoiding us and now Jeremy's supposedly at the party? He hates stuff like that."
"I don't know what to tell you." Alaric replied. His phone rings. She tries to catch it but he catches it and puts it in his pocket.
"So then you'll be okay if we just head out, try to meet up with everyone." Tori questioned.
"Wait, wait, wait."
"What are you hiding, Rick?" Tori asked.
"Stefan asked me to keep an eye on you two, just in case Katherine or Marie showed up while he was at the party." He replied.
"So Stefan's at the party too?" Elena asked. "He would never go to the party for himself; he did that stuff for me."
"Just let this one go."
Back at the Lockwood Mansion, Bonnie and Jeremy are going back to the party. "We need to let Stefan and Damon know the room's ready." Suddenly she stops. "Do you feel that?" She asked Jeremy.
"What's the matter? Are you cold?" Jeremy questioned.
"No." She sees Lucy and goes toward her. "Excuse me, do I know you?"
"No, I'm a plus one, I know no one, but it's a great party though." Lucy told her before walking away. Bonnie walks back to Jeremy.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I just got a weird vibe. Let's find Damon."
Stefan is on the dance floor, alone. He sees Katherine walking down the stairs a long distance away. Then Katherine suddenly appears behind him. "Dance with me." She said.
"No." Stefan replied.
"Fine then tell me who I should kill. Him? Hmm, she looks delicious." She eats a strawberry. Stefan offers her his arm. She follows him and they dance. "It's a beautiful night."
"Why the charade?" He asked.
"How's Jenna?" Katherine asked, changing the subject. "I certainly didn't expect her to survive that. Lucky girl. Clumsy. How does one stab onesself?"
"Katherine" Stefan warned. "I don't want anyone to get hurt tonight."
"Okay. Then give me the moonstone and nobody will."
"Well, you see, I don't have the moonstone on me." Stefan told her. "So, you and I will have to go get it together."
Katherine thought about it for a moment. "I have a better plan. You go fetch it and I will try not to kill anyone in the meantime."
"My way or you don't get it."
Aimee walked over to them. "Hey Stefan, I can't find Matt." She looked at Katherine thinking it's Elena. "Oh my god Elena! You look so pretty. I love that dress. You look gorge."
"Thank you." Katherine played along. "I love your necklace."
"Oh, thanks."
"Oh it's twisted. Here, let me, here we go." She goes behind Aimee and she snaps her spine. "Paralyzed from the waist down and dead." She kills her and throws Aimee's body in Stefan's arms. "The moonstone, Stefan. Tick tock."
"Hey guys, we're gonna go to bed." Elena called from the stairs. "You good over there?"
"Good night." Jenna called back.
"Good night." Tori and Elena said in unison. Elena takes her car's keys and they both leaves.
Stefan and Damon are in an empty room. "I put the body in the trunk for now." Stefan told Damon.
"We'll dump her when we get back." Damon replied.
"This is exactly what I didn't want it, Damon."
"Stefan, it's collateral damage." Damon shrugged.
"Right, which is why we need to call it off." Stefan said.
"What? Who's hesitating now?" Damon questioned. "Hey! Don't do this to me! Those women ruined our lives, they destroyed us! Tonight it ends. We can do it together. I got your back. Alright?""
"Alright."
Bonnie and Jeremy are waiting for the signal. "So can you use do like a hocus pocus to ace a test?" Jeremy asked filling the silence.
"I don't know that spell." Bonnie replied.
"It'd be like the first one I'd learn or maybe like a sex spell or something. I don't know." He looked at Bonnie. "Do you want to dance or something while we're waiting?"
"No!" Bonnie said rather loudly. "I mean no thank you." She said more politely.
Jeremy receives a message from Damon telling him that it's his turn.
Katherine and Marie are walking, scanning the crowd and Lucy approaches them. "You didn't tell me there was another witch here."
"Didn't I?" Marie asked playing dumb
"No, you didn't." Lucy replied. "No one is supposed to know I'm involved. This changes things."
"This changes nothing." Katherine spoke up. "You're here because you owe your dear friends a favor. You wouldn't want to lose our friendship now, "would you?
Jeremy approaches them. "Elena. Tori." He removes his mask and looks at Lucy. "Hey sorry, could I talk to my sisters?"
Lucy nodded before leaving. "What is it Jeremy?" Katherine asked.
"I have a message from Stefan." He told her.
She looks surprised. "Oh?"
"He and Damon want you two, to meet them at the edge of the lake by the woods. They brought the moonstone."
"And why are you their little messenger?" Marie asked.
"Because they know I'm not afraid of you." He replied.
"Hmm, you Gilbert men, so courageous." She steps forward. "How's John by the way? Were they able to sew his fingers back on?" She touches his tie, looks at him and leaves with Katherine.
Jeremy is texting to Damon but Tori catches his arm. He turned to look at Elena and Tori. "What the hell is going on?"
Caroline is inside. She sees Matt with Sarah and Tyler. He stops, looks at her and leaves with them. She receives a text from Jeremy telling her that it's her turn. She's walking in an empty part of the manor.
She's going to open a door but Katherine and Marie arrive. Marie catches Caroline's wrist and pushes her against the wall.
"What are Stefan and Damon up to?" Katherine questioned.
"What do you mean?" Caroline asked.
"I've got Jeremy Gilbert luring us out to the lake." Marie explained. "What's going on?"
"I don't know...nothing."
She strangles her. "Don't lie to me, Caroline." She told her. "They're up to something, what is it?"
"I..." Caroline tries to say. Marie tighten her grib on around her neck. "Wait, no, no, no! Okay. They're trying to kill you."
"I figured as much. Where is the moonstone?" Marie asked.
"Bonnie has it."
"And where is Bonnie right now?" Katherine questioned.
"I don't know." Caroline replied.
Marie tighten her grib even more. "She asked you a questioned!"
"Okay. She's upstairs, she's upstairs!" Caroline told them. Marie releases her.
Elena and Tori are with Jeremy and Bonnie. "You guys are trying to kill them here?" Elena questioned.
"We saw an opportunity and we knew we had to take it." Jeremy replied.
"Okay, stop with the "we", are you guys crazy?" Tori asked. "You're gonna get yourselves killed."
"We know what we're doing, Tori." Bonnie told her.
"And how are we supposed to feel if one of you guys gets hurt because of us?" Tori asked with Elena nodding in agreement.
"It's not just you two anymore." Jeremy spoke up. "They messed with all of us, they have to be stopped."
Marie is dragging Caroline upstairs by her hair, while Katherine walk in front of them. "Why do you keep dragging me into this?" Caroline asked. "I don't want any part of it."
"Shut up!" Marie ordered.
They are in front of a door. "Which room is it?" Katherine asked.
"It's that one." Caroline pointed.
Katherine and Marie go into the room but Caroline stays outside. "Where is she?" Marie asked.
Caroline laughs. "I did it. I really didn't think that I'd be able to fool you but I did it."
Marie rushes over but she can't leave the room. She's trapped. "What the...?"
"Stefan?" Katherine asked.
He's in the room too. He has a stake in his hand. "Hello Katherine, Marie"
"Goodbye Katherine...Marie" Caroline waved as she leaved.
"You don't really think that you can kill us both with that now, do you?" Marie questioned.
"No, but he can."
Damon is coming out the closet, he has the compressed air weapon is his hands. He shoots Marie. The stake goes in her back and she stumbled forward a little.
"Ah!" Tori cried out. She gripped her back where the pain was coming from as she stumbled forward, she felt blood seeping through her shirt. Bonnie and Elena rushed over to her.
"Tori!"
Katherine growled as she was going to charge at Damon. But Stefan rushes over to Katherine and drives the stake through her arm, missing her chest.
This time it was Elena who let out a scream. She grabber her arm as she felt the blood running throw her fingers.
"What's going on?" Jeremy questioned.
"Jeremy, it's Katherine and Marie." Bonnie told him. "Elena and Tori are linked to them, get them to stop! Now!" Jeremy quickly rushes off.
Stefan is fighting with Katherine and Damon with Marie. Marie tries to stake Damon but Stefan mange to catch her by behind, fall in the floor with her and strangles her by behind. She can't move. Damon arrives and is about to kill her but he was flung back from behind.
"Stop!" Jeremy yelled from outside the room. "You're hurting Elena and Tori! Everything you're doing to them is hurting Elena and Tori!"
Marie smirked as Stefan releases her and gets up. "You think you two are the only ones with a witch on your side? Wrong and something tells me that my witch is better than your witch." She takes the stake from Damon's hands.
Damon and Stefan look at Jeremy. "Jeremy, go check on Elena and Tori. Make sure they're okay. Go!" Stefan told him. Jeremy leaves.
"Let's all make sure poor Tori and Elena are okay." She drags the her stake across her sister's palm. "Just a little bit more pressure." A long zig-zag cut appeared. Stefan hits Marie's hand and throws the stake on the floor.
Elena screamed as she felt a cut open up in her palm of her hand.
"Bonnie, it hurts." Bonnie whimpered.
Tori was still clutching her back which had stop bleeding a little.
"I can't break the spell." Bonnie told them. "I'm sorry but I can try to take some of the pain away. Okay? Okay? Tori?" She takes both Tori and Elena's hands into hers and makes a spell. "Ascinda, mulaf, hinto, ascinda..."
Marie takes the stake and is about to drive it through her stomach. "This is really gonna hurt."
"Wait!" Damon called out.
She sits down on the couch and so did Katherine, crossing her legs as she did. "Okay. So, how about that moonstone?"
Bonnie is trying to take Tori and Elena's pain away. "Better?" she asked. Elena nodded and Tori nodded weakly.
Just then Jeremy arrives. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Are they?" Elena questioned.
"They're stuck in there with her." He looks at Bonnie. "You were right; Marie and Katherine are linked with Tori and Elena."
"The girl I saw, the one inside!" Bonnie remembered. "Stay with them, keep pressure on Elena's shoulder!"
"Where are you going?"
"There's another witch here, I'm gonna find her!" She quickly rushed off leaving Jeremy with his sisters.
Katherine, Marie, Damon and Stefan are trapped in the room.
"The four of us together just like old times." Katherine announced. "The brother who loved my sister too much and the one that didn't love me enough."
"And the evil slut vampires who only loved themselves." Damon said.
"What happened to you Damon?" Marie asked. "You used to be so sweet and polite."
"Oh that Damon died a long time ago." He replied.
"Good. He was a bore."
"Oh, why don't you two stop antagonizing each other?" Stefan spoke up.
"Where is the moonstone?" Katherine asked.
"What do you want with it?" Stefan retorted.
"Does Elena and Tori enjoy having both of you worship at their alter?"
Stefan looks at Damon and then looks at her. "That was really desperate, Katherine. Don't you think that we can see right through you?"
"So it doesn't bother you that Damon's in love with your bestfriend?" Marie asked.
"Oh, stop it."
"Or what? You'll hurt me?" She asked. She gets up. "Come on, Stefan. Everything that I feel, Tori feels, so go ahead." She looks at Damon. "Or better yet, kiss me Damon. She'll feel that too."
"You know, this whole Mason thing has me a bit confused." Stefan changed the subject. "Why a werewolf? The moonstone can break a curse that would help them destroy all vampires so what's in that for you?"
"Sorry about your pet wolf, probably should have kept him on a tighter leash." Damon smirked.
"I'll have to remember that for next time. He's not the only wolf in town."
Sarah, Tyler and Matt are in the late Richard's office. "So, what happened to Aimee?" Sarah asked.
Matt shrugged. "I don't know, she disappeared."
"She's probably drunk somewhere." Tyler replied.
"Like me." He pours the alcohol on the floor.
"Whoa, don't do that." Tyler told him.
"What man? It's a party." He takes the picture of Carol and Richard and looks at it. "Right dad? You know, looks like your dad wants to drink." He pours alcohol on the picture.
"Hey, that's not cool. What's wrong with you?" Tyler questioned not finding it amusing.
"Come on, the guy was a dick.""
"Come on, you're being mean. His dad's dead." Sarah told Matt.
"Give me the picture!" He tries to snatch it but Matt won't let him.
"Remember how your dad used to slap you around?" He slaps Tyler.
"Are you kidding?"
"I'm just having fun." Matt said.
"Put the picture down now man." Matt throws the picture on the floor, breaking it. "Okay, you need to calm your drunk ass down right now!"
"Do something about it!" Matt challenged.
"I'm not gonna fight you." Tyler told him. Matt rushes over him and throws him on the floor. Matt punches him in the face. Tyler gets up and punches Matt.
Caroline arrives. "What is going on? Stop!" She puts herself between them. She pushes Matt on the floor. Matt gets up and rushes over Tyler but she stops him.
"I can't! Let me go, I have to finish!" Matt said.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler questioned.
"Let me go!"
Caroline looks at him. Pushes him and elbows him hard in the face. He falls on the floor, unconscious. She goes toward him. "Matt?"
Sarah takes a paper knife on the desk.
"How did you...?" Tyler asked Caroline.
"Matt failed. If Matt fails, I can't." Sarah muttered.
"Tyler, look out!" Caroline calls.
Sarah drives the paper knife in his chest. He pushes her, her head hits the desk very hard. She falls on the floor, she's dead. He looks at his wound and rushes over to Sarah.
"No, no, no! Come on, wake up! Sarah, open your eyes, wake up!" He shakes her. "This can't happen, oh no, this can't happen. This can't be happening! Sarah! Sarah, get up! Sarah! Open your eyes! This can't be happening!" Tyler catches his head and screams.
"Tyler? Tyler?! Tyler, what's happening?" Caroline asked.
He's sitting on the floor. "Get away!" He ordered.
"What's happening?!"
He raises his head. His eyes are amber.
Marie, Damon, Katherine and Stefan are still in the room. "Damn it!" Damon groan. "Where is that witch?"
"We could play charades." Marie suggested.
"You bargained the moonstone." Stefan said.
"What are you mumbling about over there?" Damon asked.
Stefan looked at Katherine and Marie. "When you struck a deal with George Lockwood, to help you fake your death, you told me that you gave George something that he needed. It was the moonstone, wasn't it?"
"Good for you, Stefan. 2+2...And it would have worked except that people found out that we wasn't in the tomb." Marie replied. She looks at Damon. "Thanks to you, by the way. Have I mentioned how inconvenient your obsession with me has been?"
"You and me both, honey." Damon said.
"Why do you need it back?" Stefan asked.
"I love you in a suit, so dashing." Katherine complimented.
"What were you doing with it in the first place?"
"You're wasting your breath, Stefan." Damon told him.
"Unless it wasn't yours to begin with." Stefan continued. "In 1864 you faked your death. Who were you running from?"
"In 1987 you were in Chicago, at a concert of all places with that wench, Lexi. Come on Stefan, don't look so surprised. Of course I checked in on you over the years." Katherine told him. "You were standing in the front row, dancing all night. You were watching Bon Jovi and I was watching you."
"Who were you running from?"
"I love you." She mouthed.
Bonnie is looking for Lucy. She finally finds her but Lucy leaves. Bonnie follows her to the dining room. Lucy turned around. "You looking for me?" She asked.
"Who are you?" Bonnie asked.
"Lucy." She replied.
"What are you doing here?" Bonnie questioned.
"I should have known I'd run into a Bennett."
Bonnie raid her eyebrow. "How do you know me?"
"You figure it out." Lucy said. "Look, I have no interest in fighting you."
"Then stop the spell you put on my friend." Bonnie told her.
"Give Katherine the moonstone and I will." Lucy retorted.
"Why are you helping them? Don't you know what they are?" She questioned.
"Tell your friends to hand over the moonstone and all will be groovy."
"You're not leaving this room until you stop the spell!"
"Look, I don't want to hurt you." Lucy told her.
"I don't want to hurt you." Bonnie told her.
"Look, I don't have a choice. The bitch saved my life and now I owe her. I have to pay up." Bonnie catches her wrist. "You have the moonstone. I can sense it on you." She catches Bonnie's forearms. The room shakes, the lights flicker. "Do you feel that?You can trust me. Give it to me, it's okay."
Marie stood in front of the window, looking out. She signed. "We're missing the party." She saw Damon is pouring himself a glass of scotch. "I'll have one of those."
"Right away Miss Marie." Damon mimics the voice of a servant boy. He gives her a glass.
"Thank you." She drinks. He catches her and pushes her against the wall. He tries to stake her but Stefan stops him.
"No, no! Damon, don't!" Stefan called.
Marie grinned. "Yes, Damon, please."
"The second the spell is lifted, I'm gonna drive a stake right through your heart."
"God, you're hot." She told him. "When did you get so hot?"
Lucy arrives. She has the moonstone in her hand. "The spell on this room has been broken, you're free to leave."
"Thank God." Katherine said as she got up from the couch she was on.
"When I hand this over my debt to you is over." Lucy said.
"Done."
"I owe you nothing." Lucy continued.
"I said done." Katherine snapped. "Give it."
"I wouldn't do that." Damon warned.
She gives her the moonstone. When Katherine touches it, she can't breathe. Not longer before Marie couldn't breathe. "You should have told me another witch was involved. She's a Bennett witch, but I'm sure you knew that." Lucy told them.
"Wait, Elena and Tori!" Stefan called.
"They're fine." She replied. Both girls falls on the floor. "The spell is broken. They'll heal quickly, Bonnie's with them." Marie and Katherine are suffocating. "I apologize for my involvement." She leaves.
Caroline's explain to Carol what happened to Sarah, but she twists the truth. "Matt and I were fighting, we broke up you know, and Sarah was drunk and dancing and she just tripped. And then she wasn't breathing."
"Okay, your mom's on her way and we called Sarah's parents." Carol replied. "It was an accident. It was a terrible, tragic accident."
"Mom, the sheriff's here." Tyler announced.
"I'll go prepare her, just don't leave. Just stay here okay? She's going to want to hear the story from you." She told them. She leaves the room leaving Caroline alone with Tyler.
"Matt's in the car, sleeping it off." Caroline told Tyler. "I'll deal with him; I don't want him involved in any of this."
"What are you doing?" Tyler questioned.
"I'm fixing a very bad situation."
"Why? I did this. I killed her."
"No, you didn't mean to and I think it's best for everyone-" She was cut off.
"But she's dead!" Tyler snapped. "You don't know what that means."
"Actually, Tyler, I think I do." She replied.
"No, you don't, Caroline." He told her.
"Has your wound healed?"
He checks his wound but realizes that has healed. "How did you...?"
In the parking lot, Lucy is leaving. Bonnie runs after her. "Please, wait."
Lucy turns around. "Hey, I'm sorry about that spell. Damn vampires, they pull you into the middle of it every time."
"How do I know you? When I gave you the stone, how did I know I could trust you?" Bonnie questioned.
"That feeling you got, you ever felt it before?"
Bonnie nodded. "Being around family. My grams."
"My mother is Johanna, first cousin twice removed from Pauline, niece of Sheila aka..."
"Grams?" Bonnie breathes out. "We are related?"
Lucy smiles. "Yeah, we kind of are. It's nice to meet you Bonnie. Seeing you tonight was a wakeup call for me. I got to stop letting vampires control me. So thank you for that." She leaves.
Bonnie starts to cries and runs after her. "Please, don't leave! I have so many questions. I don't want to be in the middle either. I hate it. How do I stay out of it?"
"Unlike me, you're one of the good ones, Bonnie." She told Bonnie. "The middle of it is exactly where you need to be. You take care, cous. Don't worry, you'll see me again." She leaves.
Jeremy approaches Bonnie. "Hey, I was gonna head home, can I offer you a ride?" He asked. He notice that Bonnie wipes her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"When did you get your driver's license?" She asked.
"I'm not a kid anymore, Bonnie." He told her.
"I'd love a ride home."
Elena stood on the hill on her own, looking out at the lake. She turned when she heard Stefan say her name. "I'm okay, I'm okay." She assured him. "Bonnie took away the pain and I think I'm healing."
"I know but I think you should definitely see a doctor anyway." He told her.
"I will." She replied. "I heard about Katherine and Marie, is it true? Are they really gone?"
"Yeah, I was so worried about you." He goes toward her but she pushes him away.
"Stefan...I..."
"Katherine being gone doesn't change anything for you, does it?" He asked.
"I want to be with you, Stefan. You know that but first, I need to wake up and know that the people that I love are safe. I need to feel safe." She explained. "Do you understand?"
"Yeah. Yeah, I- I understand." She looks at him and leaves.
In the tomb under Fell's Church, Marie wakes up, she glanced around to see Katherine lying there with her eyes closed. The moonstone is on the floor, next to her.
"Hello Marie." He greeted from outside the tomb.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"Where you should have been all along." Damon replied. "I thought you'd have learned your lesson by now, messing with a Bennett witch."
"You should have killed me."
"Death would have been too kind." He goes toward the door, to close it.
"No, Damon, don't. Damon, don't." She stopped him. "You need me, Tori and Elena's in danger."
"From who?" He questioned. She doesn't answer. "You're lying, you're always lying."
"Why do you think we haven't killed them? Because they're the doppelgängers, they need to be protected."
"Then Stefan and I will protect them, while you and your sister rot in hell." He closes the door.
"No, Damon, don't! I'll do anything, please. Damon! You need me! Damon! You need me! You need me!" The door is closed; she cries and hits the door very hard. Nothing happens and she drops to the ground in terror.
"Elena!" Tori called as she saw Elena walking in the parking lot. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I am" Elena replied. "Are you?"
Tori nodded. Elena's phone goes off. They continued to walk while Elena was on the phone to Jeremy. Tori felt someone behind her. She whirled around but the person slammed her into a car. The man covered Elena's mouth from behind.
