At the Grill, Bonnie was talking with Caroline. Anna was right next to her. Rose and Lexi had filled her in on what had happened with the wolf incident and Elena's get away. Apparently, Lexi had been watching. "Okay, So tell me about this big witchy plan you've been cooking up." Caroline said.

"We still don't know the extent of what Elijah's up to."

"No, we don't." Caroline said.

"So I'm gonna ask Luka to tell me what he knows." Bonnie said.

"And he's not gonna tell you anything."

"I didn't say he was gonna have a choice."

"Are you sure about that, Bonnie? It could be kinda risky." Anna told her.

"I know, but we don't know if Elena's in trouble or not, so it's the best way I could think of." Bonnie said.

"Okay, but I'm going to have to stay hidden. I'm not sure those Martin wit…I mean, 'warlocks'" she air quoted. "Can see me, and I don't want them too." Bonnie nodded in her direction, understanding.

A few minutes later, Jeremy, Caroline, and Anna were watching Bonnie and Luka talk. "How's it going?" Jeremy asked.

"She's selling it, and he's buying it." Caroline said. "She's giving him the sex smile."

"All right, Caroline. I get it."

"You sound jealous." Anna said. Jeremy looked at her.

"I am not…"

"You might wanna get ready to catch him." Anna told him. "He's about to faint."

The group moved over to Bonnie's side immediately. Jeremy caught him.

A few hours later, they were in Caroline's
living room. "This place is kinda nice." Anna said.

"Yeah, it's too bad she can't hear you." Jeremy pointed out. Caroline showed up, carrying a lot of candles.

"We only have, like, an hour or two before my mom gets home and these are all I could find." She told them.

"Place these evenly around the room." Bonnie told the others. Jeremy and Caroline set up the candles, while Anna sat next to Bonnie. She looked at the warlock on the ground.

"You sure this'll work?" Anna asked.

"I hope so, Anna." Bonnie told her.

"How does this work?" Jeremy asked.

"I'll put him in a trance and ask him questions. It's like hypnosis." Bonnie said.

"You sure you're strong enough for this?" Jeremy asked.

"That's what the candles are for. I'll draw power from the flames."

"Is it weird that I hate fire?" Anna asked.

"You don't like fire?" Jeremy asked her.

"Never did."

"I'll get the matches." Caroline said.

"I got it." Bonnie lit them with her powers. Anna nearly jumped.

"Never gonna get used to that." Jeremy said.

"Oh, come on. That's pretty hot, and you know it." Caroline said.

"Well, what do you expect? Witches are really strong with the elements." Anna pointed out.

"I need a bowl of water." Bonnie said, trying to get a break from the tension. Jeremy left the room. "Okay. What was that?" She asked Caroline. "It's hot"?

"He is so crushing on you." Caroline said.

"So?"

"So… What, you'd rather be with traitor warlock over here?"

"I'm not into Luka. It's just, you know, he understood me, and he was new and different." Bonnie told her.

"Not to mention kinda creepy." Anna added. Bonnie looked at her. "Hey, I'm sorry, the kid creeps me out."

"And you've known Jeremy since forever, and you only see him one way, as Elena's brother," Caroline said. "but you're a witch, and I'm a vampire. You know, it's not like we're in any position…"

"to be picky"

"No, to judge."

In the other room, Anna found Jeremy. "Hey. Bonnie's doing okay out there." Anna said.

"I know."

"Look, Jer, I've spoken with her before." Anna said. "She's been fighting her feelings…"

"Because to her I'm just Elena's little brother." Jeremy said. "I know that."

"No, she does feel something for you, Jeremy. She just won't admit it." Anna said. "And she thinks we're together."

"What gave her that idea?" Jeremy asked.

"Probably cause you were the first one to see me and probably because of our bond or connection or whatever." Anna said. "Look, let's just get out there." They headed back into the living room.

A few minutes later, Bonnie managed to question Luka with no problems. The group found out they were helping Elijah because Klaus took his sister.

"And how do you kill Klaus? How do you kill an Original vampire?" Bonnie asked.

"He'll kill me if I tell you. Don't make me." Luka said.

"It's ok, Bonnie. We can find another way." Jeremy told her.

"No. How will you kill Klaus?" Bonnie said.

"Bonnie…" Anna began, when Luka spoke up again.

"After the sacrifice, Klaus will be vulnerable, weak. It's our only chance."

"After the sacrifice?" Caroline asked.

"What do you mean, after?" Bonnie asked

"He means that this was all for nothing." Anna said. "Elena will still be sacrificed in order to help stop him."

"No way." Jeremy said.

"I'm going to find her." Anna said. "We don't know if she knows."

"So, what's going on?" Caroline asked.

"Anna said Elijah's plan still involves Elena in the sacrifice." Jeremy told her.

"Oh, no."

At the lake house, Elena was inside, waiting for Stefan to get back with the firewood. It was taking a long time, though. She grabbed a weapon and headed outside. "Stefan, what are you doing out there?"

"Elena…" She heard someone say, but had no time to figure out who was there, as someone tried to grab her. She stabbed him in the arm, then ran into the house and locked the door.

She was hiding in her parents' bedroom when Anna appeared. "I can see we're a little busy with a werewolf problem here." Elena looked at her. "I think I can slow him down long enough for you to get out of here."

The guy entered the room, but didn't see her. When he turned around, Elena shoved a stake at him and ran. She kept running until she was outside. When he tried to follow, Anna used her powers to keep him back, giving Stefan enough time to end him.

Elena ran over to them. "Thanks, guys."

"I'm just glad you're okay." Stefan said, holding her in his arms. Anna smiled, then noticed another figure nearby.

"Tyler?" Elena asked.

"I didn't know what they were gonna do to you." He explained. "I just... I didn't want to be like this anymore. I'm sorry, Elena."

"It's okay." She said, hugging him.

"She's got a really big heart." Anna said.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" Stefan asked her.

"I found out some bad news." Anna explained. "I wanted to warn you two before it was too late." She quickly explained what they found out from Luka.

"Because it's the only time he'll be vulnerable." Anna finished.

"There has to be another way to do this."

"I can try asking the others. I'm sure they'll know something." Anna said.

"What about Elena?"

"When the time comes, we'll do whatever it takes to help." Anna said. "Look, I should get going, but I promise I'll be back when I can."

She returned to Caroline's house. "Should we wait for Caroline?" Jeremy was asking.

"She was just gonna drop Luka back at the Grill. Said to lock the door on our way out." Bonnie said.

"Yeah. Well, I hope she drops him hard." Jeremy said.

"You and me both, guys." Anna told them.

"Yeah." Jeremy turned to go.

"Bonnie, tell him already." Anna said.

"I…"

"Look, he's into you, okay?" Anna pointed out. "Unless you make it known, he'll be in the dark."

"Wait." Bonnie said. He turned around. "You're Elena's little brother, I've known you forever. You're that punk kid. I remember your awkward phase and then your emo phase, Your druggie phase and overnight, you turned into this hot guy who's really sweet and…"

"You think I'm hot?" Jeremy asked.

"My work here is done. For now." Anna said, disappearing in order to give them some privacy.
