Damon sat in the living room waiting for Stefan's lecture of the week for him hooking up with Kelly Donovan. He knew it was stupid hell even Eliza would lecture him, her's would be more effective though.
Stefan re entered the house after sending Elena and Caroline off in the car. Closing the door behind him he slowly joined Damon in the living room.
"Don't look at me like that,"
"Are you crazy?,"
"Save the lecture, look," Damon began when suddenly the window shattered as someone crashed through it.
The attacker tackled Stefan stabbing him in the chest with glass as Damon jumped over the couch tackling the man atop Stefan.
Damon and the man, who would later be found out to be Fredrick the man who killed Eliza's parent's, traded blows as Stefan groaned on the floor where he laid pulling the glass out of his chest.
As Stefan stood and turned to help Damon the whoosh behind him alerted him to another vampire entering the house. Turning he saw a woman who chose to attack first grabbing him by the throat.
She turned throwing him into the banister allowing him to grab a pointed piece that had snapped off from his impact.
Standing up quickly he turned managing to aim just right stabbing her in the heart to kill her.
Damon and Fredrick headbutted each other before he got the upper hand throwing Fredrick towards the fireplace.
As Stefan and Damon regrouped on one side of the room, Fredrick stood up and turned ready to fight again, that was until he noticed the woman's body laying on the floor. He chose to abandon the fight taking off out the window.
"Damn it,"
"I remember them from 1864. They were in the tomb,"
"Yeah about that," Damon knew Stefan needed to know now that the vampires had all escaped.
Back at the Gilbert house Elena was in the washroom brushing her teeth when there was a knock at the door and Jeremy entered. He may have his own washroom now that Eliza had moved out but he knew he had to 'act normal' and pretend things with Elena were ok.
"How was your night?"
"Oh, same old same old, you?,"
"Yep," Elena agreed as they went about brushing their teeth together.
At the Salvatore house Stefan called Elena as Damon called Eliza.
She though was asleep so Elijah answered and as Damon told him what had happened tonight Elijah thanked him for the information and would keep a eye on things. He also let Damon know that Henry Mackenzie was home which caused Damon's jaw to drop.
He remembered Henry he was a stern and serious man who was fiercely protective of his family. He knew the only way he was back was if he had heard about his brother and sister in law.
Damon hung up with Elijah and walked over refilling his glass of bourbon swigging it back before filling it again. He knew now things were gonna get bad cause Henry was the type to get revenge for even the littlest of offences against his family.
As Stefan hung up the phone Damon turned to face him.
"We have a serious problem,"
"What now?,"
"Henry Mackenzie is alive and in town with Eliza,"
"Wait as in Ramon's brother?,"
"Yep,"
"Fuck, tomb vampires, a vengeful uncle, and originals what the hell is going on in our lives Damon?,"
"More then even I care to think of," he said throwing back the second glass of bourbon.
Jeremy re entered his bedroom from the bathroom he shared with Eliza, sometimes he would go over and just sit in her room to decompress.
"What the hell," he was startled seeing Anna in his room his sister was right you never get use to the trick.
"I could have killed you, then Eliza would kill me,"
"Yeah but you didn't,"
"I should have,"
"But you didn't,"
"How did you know?,"
"Eliza, and I knew this girl once..Vicki, she uh she was attacked by an animal a bite to the neck. She started acting crazy. You know weird, and it seemed like drugs, but then you showed me those articles. And then I saw your face, and how it changed that night in the cemetery when I kissed you,"
"Look, you know you can't tell anyone, right?,"
"Who would believe me beside those in Eliza's house and aunt Jenna?," Jeremy pointed out causing Anna to smile a bit.
"Look talk to Eliza, if your serious about being turned you need to talk to her first. If after you still want it I will do it,"
"Seriously?,"
"Yes but it all has to go through Eliza, I'm not getting killed for your stupidity,"
"Fair enough," Jeremy agreed knowing she was right.
"I got to go but I'll see you tomorrow okay?,"
"Yeah for sure," Jeremy smiled as Anna took off.
He got in bed and knew tomorrow he would need to talk to Eliza, he could already hear the lecture coming and a possible head slap for his dumb move.
