The next morning when Eliza awoke Jackie was sitting on her bed already dressed and both her phone and Eliza's in hand.

"What's wrong?,"

"Elena called last night she was highly upset, crying, said she found out she looks like Katherine,"

"Fuck," Eliza sat up flipping the blankets off her as she swung her legs over the edge of the bed.

"What else?,"

"Damon saved her, told me he is taking her to Georgia but not to tell Stefan cause Elena needs a time out from him after last night,"

"Let's go," Eliza stood heading to the closet to get dressed.

She chose a pair of black skinny jeans, a black corset top, and her black Doc Martians. Jackie had headed downstairs while she dressed to get thermos's of coffee and snacks for the trip.

Eliza was brushing her hair and doing her makeup when Jeremy opened the bathroom door half asleep,

"Get dressed road trip," that woke him up pretty quick flipping the door closed again to change as fast as he could.

Downstairs Jenna was in the kitchen when Eliza came down with Jeremy yawning and rubbing his eyes behind her.

"Aunt Jenna going on a road trip to help Elena. Nothing serious just..,"

"I know Jackie filled me in, go we won't tell her I know but you all deserve a day away go have fun,"

"Thanks aunt Jenna," she kissed her cheek as Jackie shoved coffee in her and Jeremy's hands.

When they got outside Stefan was just walking up.

"Hey have you seen Elena she took off last night after she saw the photo of Katherine haven't seen her since,"

"Nope sorry Stef, we were just about to go on a road trip take a day to unwind, if we hear from her I'll let you know,"

"Thanks LIz," he said turning to go look elsewhere for Elena.

After they all got in the car Eliza turned to look at Jeremy.

"Okay we are going to Georgia, two people are there waiting for us, you can not tell anyone understood,"

"Huh oh that yeah all good I just enjoy the rides,"

"I know you do," she smiled as she started the car and pulled out to leave town.

Alaric Saltzman sat at his computer sipping on his morning coffee contemplating what he did last night,

I found one. After years of research and study, there it was, right in front of me. I was terrified. As I stared it in the eyes, I drove a stake through it's heart. I was right about Mystic is evil here. I can sense it, feel it. It's everywhere.

As he stood putting on his sweater for the day he stopped to look at the photo sitting on his desk thinking about to the woman in it.

It was morning when Elena came to in the car. She looked around confused how she got there when she realized Damon was driving.

"Morning,"

"Where are we?,"

"In Georgia,"

"Georgia? No, no, no we're not,"

"We are, and your sister, Jackie, and brother are on their way you all need a time out from Mystic Falls. Eliza already told him it's a road trip I guess they haven't done one of those in awhile he jumped on it,"

"He would they would do the trips all the time it was their way of coping after our folks died,"

"Makes sense, it was their way to escape the pity looks and the same questions all the time,"

"Seriously Damon where are we?,"

"Seriously we're in Georgia and they are on their way, how are you feeling?,"

"I...,"

"There's no broken bones I checked,"

"My car there was a man, I hit a man. But then he got up, who was that?,"

"That's what I would like to know,"

"Where's my phone?,"

"Okay we really need to go back nobody knows where I am,"

"Except for the three people I literally just told you I told, who in turn told your aunt you were joining them for a road trip,"

"Pull over. I mean it Damon pull over stop the car,"

"Oh you were so much more fun when you were asleep," Damon said as he pulled the car to a stop on the side of the road.

Elena opened the door stepping out bending over to catch her bearings. Damon exited the car as well to stretch his legs as he checked his phone to see if Eliza had texted him again.

Damon flashed over to check on Elena which startled her.

"I'm fine, we need to go back,"

"Oh come on. Look we've already come this far,"

"Why are you doing this? I can't be in Georgia. I wrecked my car I have to go home. This is kidnapping,"

"That's a little melodramatic don't you think?,"

"You're not funny you can't do this, I'm not going to Georgia,"

"You're in Georgia. Without your magical little necklace might I add,"

"I could very easily make you agreeable,"

"What are you trying to prove?," suddenly a cell phone goes off catching Elena's attention.

"That's my phone," pulling it out of his back pocket he held it out towards her.

"Oh it's your boyfriend. I'll take it. Elena's phone,"

"Where is she? Why do you have her phone? Is she okay?,"

"Elena?, no she's right here, and yes she's fine,"

"Where are you? Let me speak to her,"

"He wants to talk to you," he held her phone out to her again.

"Yeah I, you know I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now,"

"Damon I swear to god if you touch her,"

"You have a good day, bye now," as he hung up a text came through on his phone.

Pulling his out he smiled seeing it was Eliza telling him they were halfway there just needed the end point of where to go. So he texted back the name of Bree's Bar.

"Look no one knows where I am can we please just go back,"

"How many times do I have to tell you Eliza, Jackie, Jeremy, and Jenna all know where you are,"

"We're almost there and the gang will be meeting us there soon enough,"

"Where is there?,"

"A little place outside of Atlanta. Oh come on Elena you don't want to go back right now do you?, What's the rush? Time out. Trust me, your problems will still be there when you get home. Look step away from your life for five minutes. Five minutes,"

"Am I gonna be safe with you?,"

"Yes,"

"Will you promise not to do that mind control thing with me?,"

"I promise, mainly cause Jackie will kick my ass, and Eliza will yell at me,"

"True they would. Can I trust you?,"

"Get in the car, come on," Damon coaxed her back in to finish the drive to Bree's.

When Elena and Damon arrived Eliza's Impala was parked out front and they were sitting on the bench out front the bar.

"Took you slow pokes long enough," Jackie teased as Eliza walked over to Elena.

"Are you okay?, when I heard you crashed I was worried about you,"

"Yeah, yeah I think so a bit shaken but physically okay,"

"That's good, physically I mean, being shaken is to be expected. When we get home it's time we had that talk we were suppose to have awhile back before everything happened,"

"Good idea," she agreed as Jeremy walked up nodding to Elena that he was happy to see she was okay.

Together the group headed inside where Damon himself got greeted by the owner. If only the other's knew she was a witch, Eliza could tell right off the hop she always had a sense for it.
