At the Salvatore house the next day Damon groaned as he shifted where he laid in the cellar.

"Where's my ring?,"

"Won't be needing it anymore,"

"How..long have..I been here,"

"Three days,"

"What are you doing, this will hurt Eliza,"

"She will understand, she doesn't know the damage you can do, doesn't know the side of you that i do,"

"She is still...our Elizabeth,"

"Yet you never apologized or made it up to her for letting Katherine kill her,"

"Was..going to,"

"Now you will never have to,"

"During the dark ages when the vampire's actions threatened to expose and bring harm upon the entire race he would face judgement. They sought to re educate them rather then to punish them,"

"You know what will happen if i don't feed on blood,"

"You will grow weaker and weaker and eventually you wont be able to move or speak, and in a week your skin will desiccate and you'll mummify. A living corpse unable to hurt anyone ever,"

"So what you're just going to leave me in the basement forever?,"

"I've injected you with enough vervain to keep you weak, once your circulation stops I will move you to the family crypt so in a hundred and fifty years we will re evaluate,"

"I'm stronger then you think,"

"You always have been, but you're not stronger then the vervain and we both know it. I'm sorry it didn't have to be this way," with that said Stefan left to go back to his life without Damon looming around.

At the Gilbert house Jackie's vampire senses kicked in when she heard movement in the washroom connecting her and Jeremy's rooms. She was in protective mode, she considered Eliza her charge right now and it was her duty to protect her til she could get her to her original family.

Jackie slipped out of bed walking over to the bathroom door seeing Vicki freeze where she stood and Jeremy in his bathroom doorway.

"You come in here, you be careful don't break his heart his sister can't protect him today so it's up to me," Jackie ordered ushering Jeremy into Eliza's room and closing the door to give Vicki privacy.

"What the hell? What happened?," Jeremy asked seeing his sister so pale asleep in bed.

"I don't know, she became like this yesterday after Stefan vervained his brother. She became comatose last night and now she looks like this,"

"Fuck, hang on," Jeremy went to the bedroom door and stuck his head out.

"Jenna get up here now!," as he yelled he heard running as Jenna came upstairs from the kitchen.

"What's going on?," Jenna asked entering the bedroom.

Jeremy closed the door behind her and locked it to keep Elena out.

"She became comatose last night after the founder's party, Stefan vervained Damon at the party. When I found her she was kneeling where I presume he fell and now she looks like this after twelve hours,"

"Could she be tied to Damon?,"

"You mean like she is tied to the original family?,"

"I hope not that just means she has two spells on her and that would suck," Jeremy pointed out.

"Ok this is what we're gonna do. Jackie go out feed, grab some of your stuff, stop at the mall buy a mini fridge for her bedroom, and steal some blood bags you will be staying here awhile. Jeremy you will be going to school and will collect her homework for her you know she will kills us if we let her fail her final year. I am gonna go tell them that she is sick and won't be in for a few days. Everyone got their arrangements now let's get it started," Jenna ordered as they all started preparing to be there for Eliza.

Jenna headed downstairs and made the phone call to the school. She turned on the stove and put a can of chicken noodle soup hoping to get at least some liquids into Eliza to warm her up and help her feel somewhat better.

Jeremy went and got dressed and he and Vicki headed out to go to her place for her to change then to school.

Jackie took the Impala and took off to run her errands. Stopping at her house first packing a handful of bags and putting them in the back seat, then headed two towns over to feed. On the way back she stopped at the mall and picked up a medium size fridge with enough space for her blood, and some space for water for Eliza so she had it on hand.

Elena came downstairs after Jeremy and Vicki left and entered the kitchen.

"Do you know who was here with Jeremy,"

"Yes he could have been craftier about it," Jenna said as she reached up taking a bowl from the cupboard, and a spoon from the drawer.

"What are you doing?,"

"Your sister is sick I'm making her soup to try and help her,"

"Oh I hope she will be ok,"

"Me too," Jenna said sadly knowing deep down she had no clue what was happening.

"I'm going out tonight." she had dinner plans with Logan that night but she didn't want to leave Eliza alone but with Jackie and Jeremy watching over her maybe she could go through with this date.

"You're actually going to do it, go out with Logan,"

"I'm gonna show up and torture him yes, have we heard from Stefan?,"

"Not since he left that very vague message three days ago, Hi um Elena I um have something I have to do i'll uh explain in a few days,"

"Have you called him?,"

"Nope and not going to either,"

"You're ok with everything,"

"No i'm not ok with any of it, i'm not going to cry about it either. You know I was going to write in my diary this morning and then I thought what am I gonna write? Honestly i'm not going to be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops spinning because of some guy,"

"Ok then," Jenna was stunned at how Elena was acting.

Finishing up with cooking Eliza's soup she turned off the stove and poured the soup into the bowl. Grabbing the spoon she stopped to grab a bottle of Eliza's water too, and then headed upstairs to take care of her.

When she got back in Eliza's room she noticed she was awake.

"Hey sweetie how are you doing?,"

"I don't feel so good,"

"I know sweetie. Jackie will be back soon she went to get some things and eat, Jeremy went to school and will bring your homework back for you, and I called you off for the rest of the week,"

"Why is this happening?,"

"We will find out I promise," Jenna said placing the soup on the nightstand beside her.

"Will you do me a favor hand me my phone," she asked seeing it on her dresser.

"Sure sweetie, if there someone you need to talk to that might need to enter the house?,"

"Thank you for asking aunt Jenna, I'm gonna call someone who is very old and very powerful and see if they will come help me,"

"Original old?,"

"They told you?,"

"Not everything just that you had someone old in your life that might be able to help,"

"Aunt Jenna I was born a thousand years ago to a small family who was friends with the original vampire family, I was bound by some curse to be reborn every time I die a supernatural death, this is my fifth life that I can remember. If anyone would have answers it would be him," Eliza pointed out as she used her own phone number to call him.

"Who is this? How did you get this number,"

"It's Liza," with those few words the other person went silent.

"You still there?,"

"Yes dear sorry was just stunned, it is oh so pleasant to hear your voice again. What is wrong you don't sound well,"

"I don't know, last night I was at a party for founding families in the town I live in, I watched a old friend of mine poison his brother with vervain. I think at some point between the party and the aftermath I was poisoned myself. I went into a comatose state last night, and today I woke grey, and sick,"

"Sounds like you are bound to this person who was poisoned,"

"I have known him since 1864, the woman who turned him hated me and murdered me perhaps she cursed me tied to him as well, she did have a witch with her back then,"

"Most likely love, I'm currently tied up with some plans but I will send a friendly face to you and my own witch to help you,"

"Thank you I appreciate this very much,"

"You are mine Liza, it is my sworn duty to protect you and I will do so forever,"

"I still love you too after a thousand years,"

"I would think, before my bastard father killed you those four times we shared many wonderful memories during the centuries,"

"Very true, my aunt Jenna is taking care of me right now we're gonna try to get some soup in my system to warm me up,"

"Am I on speaker love?,"

"Yes,"

"Good, Miss Jenna is it I am a very old vampire who has loved your now niece for a long time, I will be eternally grateful to any who take care of her til my brother arrives with my witch,"

"It's my honor to help my niece, I love her. She also has her brother Jeremy and best friend Jackie, who is also a vampire, taking care of her,"

"This Jackie how old is she?,"

"Vampire wise a year but she has amazing control and feeds regularly,"

"Ok love so long as she is controlled and fed I will trust your judgement, expect him within a few weeks love he is in Rome,"

"Thank you, I hope I get to see you soon,"

"Oh trust me you will," and with that the phone call ended with Eliza smiling ear to ear and Jenna sighing a a sigh of relief.
