Chapter V
The Reckoning
At Mystic Falls High School, it was nighttime and the school was empty. Matt was using a bench-press machine in the weight room. When he stopped for a rest, he heard a noise and he got up and walked through the school. He finally got inside a classroom. It was dark inside, and when he stepped inside he set off a number of mouse traps that have been placed on the floor. Then Matt turned on the light and Tyler, Caroline, Elena, Eva and Bonnie were there setting the traps.
"Ohh! Oh, come on! Seriously, Matt?! Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?!" Caroline asked him a little mad at him.
"Forgot about senior prank night, huh?" Tyler asked him with a smirk.
"Clearly." Matt agreed with them laughing.
"How could you forget? We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year." The blonde vampire said to him surprised.
"Yeah, Matt. If I'm doing this, you're doing this." Elena stated to him trying to grab him.
"Come n, Matty! Come help!" Eva said laughing at him.
"I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this." Matt said to his friends surprised.
"Caroline's making us." Bonnie said to Matt stating that fact.
"We're about to be seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't..." Caroline started to explain to him.
"And if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" Elena said finishing Caroline sentence.
"Go ahead and make fun, I don't care." Caroline said to them.
"Caroline, you are right, we need to have some distraction." Eva agreed with Caroline.
"You're all lame. And I've got ten more classrooms to prank." Tyler said taking his bag leaving and the Gilbert twins were about to leave too.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Bonnie asked them.
"To superglue Alaric's desk shut. I'm making memories." Elena said smiling at them.
"I'm gonna throw some paint on his board." Eva said smiling and laughing a little.
"I love you!" Caroline said smiling at the girls. The blonde vampire was happy that Eva could forgive after everything that happened last week. When the girls went out of the classroom they saw Tyler giving instructions to other students while he hands them some rolls of saran wrap.
"Get the faculty toilet seats, and Dana needs bodies in the gym. Let's go." Tyler said to the students giving them more instructions which made the girls laugh and they opened some double doors and they find themselves face-to-face with Klaus.
"There are my girls." Klaus said smiling at them.
"Klaus!" Elena said and both girls tried to run, but he was already in front of them.
"You are supposed to be dead." Klaus said to Elena and then turned to Eva. "You, my dear Eva, are supposed to be a vampire right now and what are we going to do about that?" Klaus said wondering out loud.

Inside of Damon's car, he was with Danielle and Katherine going somewhere. They were going look for a part of the girls master plan to kill Klaus.
"Are you hungry? Let's stop for a bite. A truck stop. Or a trucker." Katherine asked from the backseat while Danielle was riding shotgun and Damon was driving the car.
"Oh, stop being cute." Damon stated to Katherine.
"It's not possible." Katherine said with a smirk to him.
"We've been driving around aimlessly for hours. Where are we going?" Damon asked to them because he was tired of driving.
"Far enough away so that you can't go running back." Danielle said to him with a little smirk on her face.
"Not to worry. Mystic Falls and I are on a bit of a break." Damon said to her but he missed his girl.
"You and Mystic Falls, or you and Eva?" Danielle asked him with a smirk.
"Me and my girl we are perfect." Damon said with a smile but then remembered about what Elena said the day before about him being the way he is. "Let's just say Elena and I are having a bit of difference of opinion on how I should behave now a days." Damon stated to them.
"Ooh. Let me guess... Eva doesn't want to change you but Elena wants you to be the hero, and you don't like playing pretend." Katherine said hitting a nerve.
"Something like that." Damon said agreeing with what she had said.
"Her loss." Katherine said and Danielle took the change to kiss Damon but he pushed her away from him.
"What are you doing?" Danielle asked him surprised that he pushed her away.
"You just don't do it for me anymore." Damon said to her with a smirk.

In a truck, Stefan woke up and Rebekah was standing near the open back door.
"Oh, he lives." Rebekah said when Stefan woke up.
"What happened?" Stefan asked Rebekah still confused.
"You took a beating. My brother has been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite the temper." Rebekah said a little concerd for Stefan.
"Why did he bring us back to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked her feigned being confused.
"You can stop playing dumb now. It didn't take him long to figure out what you've been hiding." Rebekah stated to him because Klaus already knew that Eva and Elena were alive and well.
"I'm not hiding anything. I've done everything Klaus has asked me to." Stefan said to her because it was true what he was saying.
"No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgängers are still alive." Rebekah ssaid to him which Klaus already had informed his sister about that.
"Where is Klaus now?" Stefan asked Rebekah worried about Klaus whereabouts.
"With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off." Rebekah said to Stefan with disdain on her voice but then remembered that according with what Klaus said to her, Eva is to be with other of her brothers. "But the other girl was suppose to be a vampire right now because when she died had vampire blood on her system. Klaus is going to find out why she is human still." The blonde original said to him.
"Where are they?" Stefan asked when he rushed at her and they flied out of the truk onto the ground with him on top of her.
"You really do love her, don't you?" Rebekah said and got up while pushing him against the truck, punched him and took a crowbar. Rebekah put the crowbar behind his neck and pulled him towards her. "Consider me jealous." She said and droves the crowbar through his stomach and the left him on the ground.

In the Mystic Falls High School, Klaus was holding onto Elena's arm in one hand and the other hand he was holding onto Eva's harm and he was marching her through the school hallways.
"You two put a rather large kink in my plans, sweethearts. The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids. I haven't been able to do any of that. Now my bet is, it has something to do with the fact that you two are still breathing and kicking." Klaus said to them and then turned to Eva. "And you were supposed to be a vampire because when I drank your blood, you had vampire blood on your system, which was a lot." He finished telling them.
"If you're going to kill me, just do it!" Elena shouted at him.
"Shut up, Lena! We are already in trouble, don't complicate more." Eva said to her sister.
"Not until I know I'm right. But I do have ways of making you two suffer." The hybrid said and pulled them into the gym where a few students were there setting up pranks for the next day in school and he spoke with an american accent. "Attention, seniors. You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Time to head on home." He said to them and then sawDana and another student. He got closer to them and spoke with his normal voice. "You two. I remember you." Klaus said to them.
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" Dana asked not knowing him.
"Oh, don't worry, I wasn't in my right head last time we met." Klaus said with a smirk and started to compel her. "Lift your foot up, please, Dana." The hybrid said which Dana did to and then he looked at the boy. "If she drops her foot, Chad, I want you to beat her to death. Understood?" Klaus said compelling him and Chad nodded.
"Don't, Klaus. You don't have to hurt anybody." Elena pleaded with Klaus because she didn't want anyone hurt.
"Please, Klaus, let them go." Eva pleaded to Klaus too.
"Oh, come on, loves. Of course I do." Klaus said with a smirk on his face.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Inside of Damon's car, he stopped the car and got out. The Pierce twins got out too.
"Why are we stopping?" Katherine asked Damon surprised that he had stopped.
"I thought we might want to stretch our legs. Take a break from the sexual tension. I'm tired of driving. It's your turn." Damon said to the girls.
"Fine." Danielle said has he held the keys out for her and when Danielle was about to take them, Damon threw the keys away. "Hey! I..." She started to say.
"We're not going anywhere until you spill your guts." Damon stated to them.
"Fine." Katherine said and took something out of her pocket, which was Elena's necklace and showed him. "Do you recognize this, hmm? A little birdy told me that Klaus wants to get his hands on it." Katherine said to him.
"Why would Klaus want Elena's necklace?" Damon asked confused.
"Does it matter? He wants it, and we have it. It's leverage, Damon. Always stay one step ahead of your enemy." Danielle said to him just like it was nothing.
"I'll keep that in mind." Damon said with a sarcasm on his voice.
"But more importantly, when we stole the necklace from Bonnie, I found out something else... Something better." Katherine said to Damon with a smirk.
"Which is really good." Danielle said to him with a smirk too.
"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Damon asked them with curiosity.
"Are you willing to do whatever it takes to stop Klaus? No turning back?" Katherine asked him to be sure.
"I'm not turning back." Damon confirmed to them.
"Good. Because this isn't going to win you any points at home." Katherine said and she opened the trunk and lying inside was Jeremy unconscious.
"Jeremy? Really?" Damon asked her looking from Jeremy to them.

In Mystic Falls High School, Caroline and Tyler were in the hallway and she was putting honey on the lockers. Tyler kissed her shoulder and head from behind.
"Do you think Matt's going to be okay?" Caroline asked him all of the sudden.
"I'm kissing you and you're wondering about your ex-boyfriend?" Tyler asked her with a surprised look.
"I'm asking you if you think our friend, who we both love, is okay." Caroline said to him with a smile.
"I think he probably doesn't have a lot of people to talk to anymore. I think he's struggling more than he lets on. I think that I love how big your heart is." Tyler said to her with a smile on his face.
"I just want this school year to be great, you know? I just want everyone to be happy this time. Even in the midst of all the crazy unhappy bits." Caroline said to him with a smile.
"I'm happy." Tyler said to her smiling and they kissed each other.
"You two are adorable." Rebekah sais when she came in the hallway.
"Uh, do we know you?" Caroline asked when they were looking at her.
"You're Caroline, Eva and Elena's friend, which makes you Tyler. The werewolf." The blonde original said to them.
"And who are you?" Caroline asked while walked between Tyler and Rebekah.
"I'm the new girl." Rebekah said and showed her vampire face.
"Caroline!" Tyler shouted when Rebekah rushed over to Caroline.

In the pool room, Bonnie and Matt were putting toilet paper on the swimming pool.
"This is fun, right?" Bonnie looked at her friend smiling.
"You sound like Caroline." Matt said to her surprised by ther attitude.
"Come on, I am embracing her philosophy. You should be more into this." Bonnie said to him still smiling.
"I know. Where's Jeremy tonight?" Matt asked her asking about the youngest Gilbert.
"I haven't talked to him all day. We're having… he told me about seeing Vicki." The young witch said to Matt.
"Ohh. Good, I'm glad that you know." Matt finally said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry. Is it weird talking about your sister like this?" Bonnie asked to her friend.
"No, I just kind of want to see her myself, you know? I mean, I never got to say goodbye to her." He said exhaling and the continued. "Do you realize that just last summer, you and I were lifeguards at the pool? And the only two problems I had in my life were that Elena was breaking up with me and I sucked at CPR." Matt said remembering the old memories.
"Everything was so different then." Bonnie said to him smiling.
"Yeah. Now Elena and Eva are dating vampires, Eva is thinking into becoming a vampire, you're a witch, my sister's a ghost, and... I'm... I'm just a guy who's wondering how life got so screwed up." Matt said with a sigh.
"It's crazy, Matt. I... I can't imagine what it must be like for you" Bonnie said with a sad smile to Matt.
"It just, uh, kind of explains why I'm not that into senior prank night. I'll go grab a couple more rolls. Then we'll hit the gym." Matt said to her and got inside men's room. He went into the three stalls and grabs the toilet paper from each one. On his way out, one of the doors open by itself behind him. He entered the stall, sees some graffiti that said R.I.P. Vicki and then closes the door and Vicki's behind him.
"I'm here, Matt. I can help you." Vicki said but Matt didn't heard her.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Inside the gym Dana was struggling to stay on one foot while Elena, Eva and Klaus were watching.
"Keep it up." Klaus said to Dana.
"Please, Klaus, let them go." Eva pleaded to Klaus to let Dana and Chad leave the gym.
"No." Klaus simply stated to her.
"Where's Stefan? What did you do to him?" Elena asked him worried about him.
"Stefan's on a time out." Klaus said with a smirk when the doors opened which it was their friends, Bonnie and Matt.
"Bonnie, get out of here!" Elena shouted at them.
"Matt, get out of here!" Eva shouted at them too.
"Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up. Now we can get started." Klaus said rushing over to Bonnie and then looked at Dana. "Ah, Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." Klaus said and then looked at Bonnie again. "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive? And Eva not being a vampire?" Klaus asked her.
"That's right. If you want to blame someone, blame me." Bonnie stated to Klaus.
"Oh, there's no need for blame, love. Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I'm going to have you find the fix." Klaus said to her when Rebekah got inside the gym with Tyler.
"Get off of me!" Tyler shouted at her.
"Hush now." Rebekah said to her and pushed him inside the gym.
"I'd like you all to meet my sister Rebekah. Word of warning for everyone... She can be quite mean." Klaus said about his sister.
"Don't be an ass." Rebekah said and threw Tyler into her brother's arms.
"Leave him alone!" Elena shouted at them.
"Lena! Don't provoke them more." Eva said pushing her sister to her side.
"I'm going to make this very simple... Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible, actually." Klaus said and bite his wriste and made Tyler drink his blood. "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie and for Tyler's sake... You better hurry." Klaus said to the younger witch because he twisted his head killing him. Elena, Eva, Matt and Bonnie were shocked with what he had done, which made Klaus smile.

Around Mystic Falls, Stefan was in the parking lot and had the crowbar in his stomach where Rebekah had hurt him. All of the sudden he woke up and removed it, and then, went to his school look for Klaus and Rebekah.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Still inside the school, on the gym, Dana and Chad were sitting on the floor and Matt was next to Tyler's body.
"He killed him." Matt said looking at the girls.
"He's not dead. Klaus's blood will turn him into a vampire." Elena explained to her friend.
"And if Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition. Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not. I'll hold on to Elena and Eva... for safe-keeping." Klaus said grabbing Elena and Eva's arm looking at them. Elena nodded her head to Bonnie giving the sign that she would be okay.
"We will be fine, Bonnie. Go." Eva said to Bonnie with a nod of her head and Bonnie left with Matt.
"So these the latest doppelgängers. The original one was much prettier but the one that is supposed to be for our brother is so much prettier than the last one." Rebekah stated to them.
"You are the third person that said that to me. Why are you saying that?" Eva asked to the blonde original.
"Enough, Rebekah. Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" Klaus asked his sister and she dragged Tyler's body behind her by his arm leaving and then Klaus turned to the girls smiling. "Just ignore her. Petty little thing." Klaus said with a smirk.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
In the hallway, Matt and Bonnie were talking about what Klaus asked Bonnie to do.
"What are you going to do?" Matt asked her worried for Elena and Eva.
"I have no idea. The curse he's talking about is a thousand years old. My grimoires don't go back that far." Bonnie said to him worried too.
"Can you ask those dead witches that helped you before?" Matt asked her remembering that she could talk with dead witches.
"I don't have contact with them anymore... They cut me off when I brought Jeremy back to life. That's it! I can't contact the dead. Jeremy can." Bonnie said remembering that her boyfriend could talk with dead people.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Still around the road, in Damon's car, Damon laid Jeremy on a picnic table outside the car. Danielle, Katherine and Damon were sitting waiting that Jeremy woke up.
"I'm listening." Damon stated to the girls looking at them.
"What if I told you there was a way to kill Klaus? And not dagger dead. It is dead dead forever." Katherine said looking at Damon with a smirk.
"I'd say you were desperate and lying. Or drunk. Or desperate, lying and drunk." Damon said not believing in one word that she said.
"Do you remember our friend Pearl?" Danielle asked Damon.
"Vividly." Damon said with sarcasm on his voice.
"Centuries ago, she told us about a vampire who knew how to kill Klaus. Then she wouldn't tell me any more." Katherine said to Damon talking about Mikael.
"Well, why not?" Damon asked surprised because Katherine and Danielle were great friends with Pearl.
"Because it was her leverage. She knew it was valuable information, and wouldn't share it with us." Danielle said continued to explain for her sister.
"Well, this is all great... But she's dead." Damon stated the obivious.
"Which is why we never brought it up. Because she only ever told one other person." The other twin said to Damon.
"Who?" Damon asked with curiosity.
"Her daughter. Anna." Danielle said to Damon with a smirk.
"Also dead." Damon stated another obivious thing.
"Which brings us right back around to..." Katherine continued to explain.
"To me. Back around to me." Jeremy said waking up.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Inside the Mystic Falls High School, Elena was comforting Dana while Eva was watching the hybrid when Stefan entered the gym.
"Stefan..." Elena said when she saw her boyfriend and Eva looked at him.
"Klaus." Stefan said when he saw Eva and Elena and then he turned to him.
"Come to save your damsel, mate? And save your lovely sister in law?" Klaus asked with sarcasm on his voice.
"I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty." Stefan pleaded with Klaus.
"Well, you broke that pledge once already." Klaus said remembering that he had lied about the twins being alive.
"Elena means nothing to me anymore. And whatever you ask of me... I will do." Stefan stated to Klaus.
"Fair enough. Let's drink on it." Klaus said to him and pointed to Dana and Chad. "Kill them. What are you waiting for? Kill them." Klaus ordered to him.
"No! Stefan, don't. He's not going to hurt me or Eva. He already said..." Elena stated and the hybrid hit her so hard that she fell on the floor.
"LENA!" Eva shouted and ran to Elena to see if she was alright.
"She means nothing to you? Your lies just keep piling up." Klaus said when Stefan rushed over to him with his fangs out.
"Let them go! I'll do whatever you want, you have my word!" Stefan said and Klaus grabbed hi by his throat.
"Your word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this..." Klaus said and prepared to compel him. "Stop fighting." The hybrid said to Stefan.
"Don't do this, don't do this." Stefan pleaded to him.
"I didn't want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it." He said to Stefan and went to compel him.
"Don't... Don't..." Stefan pleaded to Klaus.
"You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey." Klaus said compelling Stefan while Elena and Eva watched shocked.
"No. Stefan!" Elena shouted with horror on her face.
"Now kill them. Ripper." Klaus said and Stefan showed his vampire face, rushed over to the girl and killed her by drinking her blood.
"How could you?" Eva asked to Klaus with a shocked face.
"That's what I do. But I promise, you are protected by me and my siblings." Klaus said and kissed Eva's cheek that left her surprised.

Somewhere on a road and still close to Damon's car, Damon, Katherine, Danielle and the younger Gilbert were trying to talk with Anna.
"This isn't going to work." Jeremy stated to them when one phone vibrated. When she pulled out and looked at it, she saw that it was a message from Bonnie which was asking him Where are u?.
"I think that your witchy girlfriend's worried that you've run away with your ghostly lover." Katherine said with sarcasm on her voice.
"Stop with the teenybopper drama. Focus." Damon said to Katherine and Jeremy started to focus on Anna.
"I'm not helping them." Anna said and she was sitting on the picnic table next to the younger boy.
"No, it's okay to help." Jeremy said to Anna which made Danielle, Katherine and Damon looked at each other because they couldn't see her. "They are looking for a way to stop Klaus." Jeremy explained to Anna.
"I don't care. Katherine and Danielle are not a friend to you. Neither of them are." Anna said to Jeremy with a certain voice.
"What's she saying?" Damon asked Jeremy.
"Well, she doesn't want to help you." Jeremy stated to Damon.
"My advice? If you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs." Danielle whispered to Damon.
"Jeremy, I just want you to know, it's nothing personal." Damon said after walking to the younger boy and took Jeremy's head and hit it against the table.
"Ow! What the hell?!" Jeremy asked him surprised.
"Jeremy!" Anna shouted when she saw what Damon did.
"Anna, I know you can hear me. Tell us what you know. The sooner, the better for your little boyfriend here." Damon said to her without seeing her.
"They're looking for Mikael." Anna said because she didn't want Jeremy hurt.
"Mikael!" Jeremy said and Damon let Jeremy go.
"Mikael. Is that his name?" Katherine asked Anna too.
"Who's Mikael?" Damon asked Anna because she wouldn't answer to the twins.
"The vampire hunter who hunts vampires. You don't want to wake him. He will kill all of you." Anna said to Jeremy to tell them.
"What's she saying?" Damon asked again.
"Hello!" Danielle said to him waiting for the answer.
"He's a vampire and a Hunter, and you guys would be idiots to wake him." Jeremy asked looking at Anna. "What do you mean, wake him?" He asked her worried.
"It's time to go find the keys." Damon said to the twins.
"Mm-hmm." Katherine agreed and Danielle nodded her head.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Inside the Mystic Falls High School, Caroline woke up on the floor and saw that the blonde original had her phone.
"We didn't have mobile telephones in my day. Would have made life a whole lot easier, I suppose." Rebekah said and took a picture of herself.
"Where's Tyler?" Caroline asked her about her boyfriend.
"He's deadish." Rebekah replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
"What did you do to him?" Caroline asked her when she turned around she saw him lying behind her.
"Think of it as he's having a nap. When he wakes up, he'll be a hybrid." Rebekah said and Caroline put her ear to Tyler's chest to check if there were a heartbeat while Rebekah was swiping through pictures on the phone and saw a picture of Stefan and Elena with Eva and Damon. "Ugh. Vomit." Rebekah said and decided to ask her about the other couple and turned to the blonde vampire. "Who is this guy with the other doppelganger?"
"That's Eva's boyfriend. He is crazy for her. Would do anything for her. He will kill anyone who tries to hurt that girl." Caroline said with a worried voice when Rebekah zoomed in and saw the necklace around Elena's neck.
"Is that my neck..." Rebekah said and got up and spook down at Caroline. "Why is that doppelgänger bitch wearing my necklace?!" She shouted at the blonde vampire.

In the gym Stefan was feeding on Chad and the girls were shocked watching Stefan doing something that they never wanted to see.
"It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot." Klaus said with a smirk on his face.
"No. You did this to him." Elena stated to him.
"I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table." Klaus said with the same smirk on his face when Rebekah marched in and rushed towards Elena that was beside Eva.
"Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" Rebekah shouted at Elena.
"Stop screaming! She and I don't know what you are talking about." Eva said defending her sister.
"What are you talking about?" Klaus asked his sister.
"She has my necklace. Look." Rebekah said and gave him the phone so that he could see the picture.
"Well, well. More lies." Klaus said looking at Stefan.
"Where... is it?" Rebekah asked one more time.
"I don't have it anymore." Elena said remembering that they were question her about the necklace that Stefan gave her with the vervain.
"You're lying!" Rebekah said and bite Elena's neck but Klaus stopped her and pushed her aside.
"Knock it off!" Klaus shouted at her.
"Lena, are you okay?" Eva said using her a paper towel to try to clean the blood while her sister was nodding her head saying that she was okay.
"Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" Rebekah shouted at her brother while Klaus looked at Elena while she put the paper towel that her sister gave her on her neck.
"Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest." Klaus said and grabbed Eva's neck to make Elena be really honest.
"I'm telling the truth. Katherine and Danielle stole it." Elena said to Klaus.
"Katerina and Danika. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" Klaus said and realeased Eva that went to join her sister, hugging her and Klaus went and started to put the clock on. Where there was a buzzer sound when the clock appeared on the board and then he went over to Stefan that was watching the hybrid and compelled him once again. "Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to and you are forbidden to touch in Eva." Klaus said compelling Stefan.
"No, Klaus! Don't do this to him!" Elena pleaded to them.
"No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine." Klaus said and went to Eva. "You don't have to worry. You are human, my brother will be the one to turn you." He said while Rebekah looked at them and then Klaus and Rebekah left.

Matt was in the weight room and talking on the phone with Bonnie. They were looking for something to help Elena and Eva.
"Did you find Jeremy?" Matt asked Bonnie.
"No! I called him like twenty times." Bonnie said with a voice filled with despair.
"All right, I'll grab my keys. We'll head to his house." Matt said to her.
"Okay. I'll meet you by your truck." Bonnie said and when he hang up he saw his clothes had been thrown all over the room.
"What the hell?" He asked confused and looked inside his bag but didn't find what he was looking for so he followed a trail of clothes on the floor to the pool and saw that his keys were at the bottom of the pool. "You've got to be kidding me!" Matt said and he took his jacket off and removed his shoes and crouched by the edge of the pool, his sister, Vicki was behind him but he couldn't see her.
"Matt! I can help, Matty, but I need you to hear me." Vicki said with despair on her voice because she wanted to help but he showed no signs of hearing her so she kicked one of his shoes and it skimmed onto the water. Matt saw it and stood up in shock, breathing hard and he looks down at his phone on the floor, picked it up, and saw a text message reading Unknown: I can help you Matty. "Whoa! Vicki?" He asked and called Bonnie right away.
"What is taking you so long?" Bonnie asked him because she was already beside his truck waiting for him while Matt was walking out of the weight room and down the hall while carrying a weightlifting belt over his right shoulder and a round barbell weight under his left arm.
"This is going to sound crazy, but I think Vicki's trying to reach out to me." Matt said to her explained what he thought.
"What?" Bonnie asked him surprised.
"I think she can help us save Tyler." Matt explained to Bonnie.
"No, Jeremy can help us save Tyler." Bonnie stated to him because she didn't want him to get hurt.
"We can't find Jeremy. We need to try something else. I have an idea but I'm going to need your help. Meet me at the pool." Matt said while he headed to the pool room.
"I don't understand." Bonnie said confused at his words.
"Jeremy can see ghosts because you brought him back from the dead. I need you to do that for me." Matt said to Bonnie getting to the point.
"What?! No, Matt, that's crazy!" Bonnie shouted at her friend.
"This is going to work, trust me." Matt pleaded with Bonnie.
"No, Matt, I can't do that kind of magic anymore." Bonnie stated to Matt because she had lost some of her powers.
"You don't need magic, Bonnie. You just have to be better than I was at CPR." Matt said and hanged up the call. Then he put the belt down and attached the weight to it with a chain so when he jumped in the water he stayed at the bottom. Matt, then stood up hugging the weight in front of him, then walked forward into the pool and sank to the bottom of the pool. Some moments later Bonnie ran through the halls and got inside the pool area and she saw Matt in the pool, dove in the water, removed the belt from Matt and raised him to the surface. His eyes were open but lifeless.

Still close, in some road and in Damon's car, Jeremy was falling asleep. A bloody wound could be seen on his forehead where his head hit the table earlier.
"Don't fall asleep, Jer. You might have a concussion." Damon said to him worried.
"Thanks for the concern, dick." Jeremy said with sarcasm.
"Oh, stop pouting. He took one for the team. Everyone back home will thank you once we have Klaus death." Katherine said to Jeremy.
"Where's my phone?" Damon asked looking around them.
"Do you need to check in with Eva? Make sure it's okay you pummeled her little baby brother?" Danielle asked him with sarcasm.
"You know you have it." Damon said looking at the two sisters.
"What can I say? We needed you present here and now." Katherine said looking at him.
"Danielle, phone, now." Damon said holding his hand at her and Danielle sighed gaving it to him the phone and looked at it. "Bonnie's been texting me." He said to them.
"What is it?" Jeremy asked worried about their friends.
"It's Klaus." Damon said to Jeremy worried too.
"No turning back, Damon." Katherine said to him not caring that Klaus was in town.
"Shut up, Katherine." Damon stated to her.
"Hey, look at the big picture. The best shot we have into taking out Klaus forever is by finding Mikael." Danielle stated to him.
"Stay with her so Anna can guide you. I'm going back." Damon said looking at Jeremy and pressed the car key to his chest.
"You're going to get yourself killed. The Damon me and my sister remember wouldn't have been that stupid." Kathrine said to him because he had changed while grabbed the keys from Jeremt and turned to him when she saw him walking away.
"I wouldn't have done it for Danielle and you." Damon stated to her with a smirk.

In the Mystic Falls High School, Matt was lying by the side of the pool and Bonnie was performing CPR on him.
"Matt, please! I can't do this. There's nothing else I can do!" Bonnie said and Matt was in between life and death and when he opened his eyes and can saw Vicki.
"Matt! Matt!" Vicki said calling her brother.
"Vicki?" Matt asked surprised into seeing her.
"Matt. Please!" Vicki said trying to make him to listen to her.
"I can see you." Matt said surprised by that.
"I need you to listen to me very carefully. I don't have much time." Vicki said to her brother looking at him.
"Why, what's happening? Where are we?" Matt asked him looking around.
"It doesn't matter. I need you to give Bonnie a message." Vicki said to him and he woke up spitting out the water.
"It's okay. You're okay." Bonnie said and sat him upright.

In the gym, Eva Stefan and Elena were talking and there was just over six minutes left on the clock that Klaus put it on.
"Caroline's dad! Stefan, he was able to resist compulsion. I don't know how, but he did it and maybe it's possible." Elena said to him hoping that he could fight it too.
"Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's just mind control, right? Maybe it just takes some focus, a couple decades of training. No big deal." Stefan said with some sarcasm on his voice while he was pacing around.
"Stefan, please, fight it, for her!" Eva pleaded with Stefan.
"Stefan, you can control this. When that buzzer goes off, just... just drink from me and leave my sister alone." Elena said to her boyfriend.
"You don't get it. I can't stop, Elena! I'm a ripper! A ripper doesn't stop! I listen to the words that come out of your mouth, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body. And when that clock ticks down... I'm going to have to feed on you. And you want to know what's worse? I'm not going to be able to stop." Stefan said to her trying to make understand that he couldn't stop.
"I don't believe that. You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough." Elena said with hope on her voice.
"Why, because I love you?" Stefan asked her with sarcasm on his voice.
"Yeah! That's right, Stefan. Because you love me. You'll fight because after everything that we've been through, you owe me that!" Elena shouted at him getting mad at him.
"You know what, you're right. You're right. I owe you everything. Because through all of this, you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena. The more blood that I get, the more I want, and if I get so much as near yours... You are dead." Stefan stated and just under five minutes remained.

Caroline, Tyler and Rebekah were inside a classroom while Rebekah checked how much time was remaining on Caroline's phone and saw there was three minutes remaining and of the sudden Tyler woke up.
"Where am I? What happened?" Tyler asked confused with what had happened.
"Tyler." Caroline said and went to him to help.
"Don't be shy about it." Rebekah said with a smirk on her face.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked confused after waking up.
"Klaus is turning you into a vampire. A hybrid. You're in transition." Caroline explained to her boyfriend.
"Don't leave out the hard part, sweets. You'll only survive if your witch is successful. If not...You're pretty much dead." Rebekah explained to Tyler with her british accent.
"You're going to be okay. Okay? It's going to be okay." Caroline said to assure him that everything was going to be fine.
"I wonder how she's doing." Rebekah said looking at the clock on the phone and turned it around to show them that there was two minutes remaining. "Tick tock goes the gym clock." Rebekah said with a smirk.

In a hallway of the high school, Matt and Bonnie were talking in the hallway.
"As soon as you're feeling better, I'm going to kill you." Bonnie stated to Matt.
"It worked. I saw her. I saw Vicki." Matt said to Bonnie happy for seeing his sister after almost a year.
"You did?" Bonnie asked surprised at that.
"She said she had a message for you." Matt said to Bonnie with a sad look on his face.
"For me?" Bonnie asked surprised that Vicki had a message for her.
"From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus. She said that Elena and Eva shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual. The hybrids can't transition because Eva and Elena are still alive." Matt said to his friend with a sad voice.
"Tyler..." Bonnie said with the same sad voice.
"He's going to die, isn't he?" Matt asked looking at Bonnie.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Klaus said coming behind them and leaning against the wall. "Given the choice, doppelgängers or a hybrid, I go hybrid every time." Klaus said with a smirk on his lips.

In the gym, there was only sixteen seconds left on the clock. Both Eva and Elena were looking at each other.
"Elena, you're going to have run." Stefan said to her.
"But Klaus said that if I run..." Elena started to say to him.
"I know what he said, but if you stay, it won't matter. Elena, please, please, please. Elena, there's no other way." Stefan pleaded with Elena.
"Lena, you have to run, please." Eva pleaded with her sister too.
"There is another way, Stefan. It's for you to fight." Elena continued to plead with her boyfriend as the buzzer sounded, signifying that the time has run out. "Stefan... I love you. Fight, Stefan. Don't give up." Elena pleaded with him.
"Run, Lena, please, Lena. He can't hurt me. Stefan is compelled to not hurt me. Klaus said I'm protected by him. Now, go!" Eva shouted at her sister.
"I can't hold it." Stefan said while his vampire face appeared and rushed at Elena which made her scream, but he rushed past her to the opposite wall. "Elena, run! Go!" Stefan shouted at her and Elena ran through the school, going from one hallway to the next while she ran from him. Stefan held on to everything he can so he didn't have to hurt Elena but he started to rush out of the gym and crashing from side to side through the hallways and Elena went through a door, closed it and looked through the small window in it and when she turned around, Elena bumped into Klaus.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
"We've got to stop meeting like this." Klaus said to Elena while he was grabbing Eva in one of her arms. Stefan entered the cafeteria, saw a broom, took it and brook it on his knee and then he dropped the brush end and held the remaining makeshift stake in front of him, and stabbed himself in the stomach with it. Then Klaus entered with the twins the youngeste Salvatore looked at them. "Now this is fascinating. I've never seen any of this before. The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this girl. Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus said and let it go of Elena and Eva.
"No!" Stefan shouted at him.
"Come on. Your humanity is killing you. All the guilt must be really exhausting. Turn it off." Klaus said from a table where he was sitted.
"No!" Stefan shouted once again at Klaus.
"Stefan..." Elena whispered while she grabbed her sister hand of support.
"You're strong." Klaus stated getting up, went to him and pulled the stake out of Stefan's body. "But you're not that strong. Turn. It. Off." Klaus said to Stefan with a growl.
"No!" Stefan shouted at Klaus and pushed him.
"Turn it off!" Klaus said while he pushed him against the wall and compelled him.
"What did you do?" Elena asked while she watched Stefan's face changing.
"I fixed him. But I think a test is in order, don't you?" Klaus said and walked behind her pushing Eva because she wouldn't have a scratch on her. "Ripper... Perhaps you'd like a drink.. from the doppelgänger's neck?" Klaus suggested and Stefan's face changed and he rushed over to Elena and bite her neck making her scream.
"LENA!" Eva shouted seeing her sister getting hurt by Stefan and then Klaus bite her on the neck which then took some of her blood and healed her with his blood. Then he left and entered the classroom Rebekah, Tyler and Caroline were in.

"Well, the verdict's in. The original witch says the doppelgängers should be dead." Klaus said with a smirk.
"Does that mean we can kill her?" Rebekah said getting up happily referring to Elena.
"No, I'm fairly certain it means the opposite." Klaus said to his sister demanding that his sister should be in good behavior.
"What?!" Rebekah asked surprised and putted her arms around Caroline to restrain her to pull her back and to not attack her brother.
"Call it a hunch..." Klaus said showing a test tube which contained blood to Tyler and the original blond held it Caroline so she couldn't move. "This tube here contains the blood of Eva and Elena mixed together. Drink it." He said to Tyler.
"No! No, no, no, Tyler, don't!" Caroline pleaded with Tyler.
"If he doesn't feed, he'll die anyway, love. Consider this an experiment. It's okay." The hybrid said and Tyler struggled but he finally drank it the blood that Klaus gave him to drink. "There we go. Good boy." Klaus said and Tyler coughed, rolled over the desk, and faell to the floor, screaming, groaning and writhing. He held his head, screamed and his face finally changed. His eyes were yellow, he had fangs and veins under his eyes. "Well, that's a good sign." Klaus said with a smirk on his face and then turned to his sister to tell her that Eva was protected by everyone. "Eva is protected. You know that she is to be with him. When the time is right he will come to her." Klaus said to his sister with a serious voice.
"I know, Nik. I will protect her until the time is right. We made a promise to him. We promised that if she was alive two thousand years later, we would protect her until he is awake to be here for her." The blonde original said to her brother and they both left the school.

In Mystic Falls Hospital, still was nighttime and Elena and Eva were waking up in beds inside of a hospital room. There was a nurse for each of them.
"Where am we?" Elena asked confused.
"In the hospital, sweetie. You and your sister suffered through a terrible ordeal." The nurse that was taking care of Elena said to them.
"We have to get out of here." Eva said while she and Elena attempted to sat up but theirs nurses gently stopped them.
"Ah. Not an option. You've lost a lot of blood." The nurse that was tending Eva said and they prepared bags of blood for each girl which made them look at that.
"Wait...You're taking our blood?" Elena asked them surprised.
"Of course. It's very important for your friend Klaus." The other nurse said and Elena started to struggle with the nurse while Eva did the same but both nurses gave them sedatives.
"Don't fight it, sweetie. He told me you need plenty of rest." The nurse said and the girls fell back on her pillow, asleep.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Meanwhile, Klaus and Rebekah were in front of the hospital.
"So the doppelgängers aren't the problem. Their blood is the solution." Rebekah stated to her brother.
"Seems so." Klaus said to her nodding his head.
"How did you know?" Rebekah asked him with curiosity.
"Well, you know how much the original witch hated me. Do you honestly think I would do anything other than the opposite of what she says?" Klaus asked Rebekah like it was obvious.
"A thousand years in the grave and she's still screwing with you." Rebekah said with a smirk on her face.
"Well, it makes sense if you think about it from her perspective. It was her fail-safe in case I ever broke the hybrid curse. The doppelgängers had to die in order for me to become a hybrid, but if they were dead..." Klaus started to explain the logic to his sister.
"Then you couldn't use their blood to sire yourself a new species." Rebekah finished for him the logic they were following.
"Leaving me alone for all time." Klaus conclude what they were talking.
"Is that what this is about? Your obsession with making hybrids? You just don't want to be alone?" She asked him surprised because he wasn't alone, he had his family.
"What I want is to take my girls, take my hybrid the hell out of this one-pony town. You know, why don't you, uh, why don't you get the truck? I'll get Elena and Eva." Klaus said to his sister.
"He will never forgive you if you let Eva die." Rebekah stated to him.
"If I have to turn Eva into a vampire before he has the opportunity, I will. And I will protect her because in the end she will be our sister." Klaus stated and Rebekah nodded her head and left him alone when Damon joined him.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
"Well, look who finally decided to show up to the party." Klaus said with a smirk when he saw Damon.
"Where is she?" Damon asked him really mad and worried about his girl.
"Eva? Ah, she's making a donation to a greater cause just like Elena but don't worry, I will never hurt Eva. She is destined for other." Klaus said to the raven haired vampire but tried to stop him when Damon went towards the hospital to help his girl and Elena. "I'm afraid I can't let you interfere, mate."
"You'll have to kill me." Damon stated turning to look at him.
"Oh, I would love to kill you, but I made a pledge to your brother, and unlike him, I keep my word. Although, you know what, thinking about it now, he probably doesn't care that much anymore." Klaus said pushing Damon against the hood of a car and was about to kill him.
"Don't you want to know about your friend Mikael?" Damon said with a smirk on his face which made Klaus feel fear in his intere body.
"What do you know about Mikael?" Klaus asked Damon trying to hide his fear.
"Just that he knows you're here." Damon continued saying with a smirk.
"You're bluffing." Klaus stated not believing that he found Mikael.
"Danielle, Katherine and I found him. Consider it our leverage." Damon stated and Klaus threw him against another car, and Damon fell on the ground and when Damon got up, the original hybrid had disappeared. Damon went towards the hospital.

Inside the hospital, Damon and Jenna, which he had called to help him find the girls and carry them home, they walked down the hallway, looking for Eva and Elena, when they had finally found them in a roo. They were still asleep from the meds that they were given to them. Damon looked at Eva and pulled out the tubes from Eva's arm while Jenna did the same to Elena's arm. He looked at the tube which was pumping out Eva's blood and she woke up.
"Damon..." Eva said with a weak voice to her boyfriend.
"Hey." Damon said and kissed her head, then he put his arms under her and lifted her out of the bed and then he carried her out of the room while Jenna did the same and followed him out of the room carrying Elena in her arms.
"Lena… she was inside with me." Eva said to Damon worried about her sister.
"Don't worry. Jenna is bringing her too. Get some rest." Damon said and saw that Jenna was carrying Elena beside him.

At Mystic Falls High School, Caroline and Tyler were in the hallway hand-in-hand. He had fully recovered from his transition.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Caroline asked worried about him.
"I'm great, Caroline. I mean, like, phenomenal. It's a rush. I wish I could explain it to you what I feel. Everything's just... Better." Tyler said to her and he lifted her up in his arms and spinned her around while she laughed, then he kisses her. "This year school is going to be an amazing year." Tyler said embracing her while Caroline seemmed worried.

In another part of the school, Matt was tying his shoelaces in the weight room when the tanned witch, Bonnie, appeared at the doorway.
"Hey. You ready? I could still use a ride over to Jeremy's." Bonnie said to Matt smiling.
"Yeah, just a sec." Matt said with a smile too.
"Listen to me. I know you want to help, and I know you miss your sister. But what you did was reckless and stupid." Bonnie said worried about him.
"I know. Bonnie. I know. But it worked. It was worth it." Matt said with a smile because he could save Tyler, Elena and Eva.
"You don't want to be a part of all this, Matt. You are the only one of us who actually gets to live your life like a normal person, no matter how lost you feel. Don't forget that." She said to him with a sad smile.
"I get it, Bonnie. I'll be out in a minute, okay? Vicki's here. Watching me, and I just, I just need a minute to say good-bye, okay?" Matt asked Bonnie a little awkwardly and Bonnie left but he noticed someone's shadow's on him. He thought it was Bonnie. "Bon, seriously, I'm not going to do anything stupid, I just..." Matt said and turned around and saw his sister, Vicki. "Vicki?" He asked surprised and she sat down next to him.
"Hi, Matty." Vicki said and Matt smiled at her.

At the Salvatore Boarding House, Damon poured three glasses of bourboun. Damon gave one to Elena and the other to Eva.
"Hey, have some bourbon. It'll help you forget." Damon said to Elena because they had told him what had happened in school. Eva downed her glass while her sister was slowlying taking the glass and drank but didn't seem to like it. "Yeah, it's strong. You know I can help you forget, too. At least the memories you don't want to keep." Damon suggested to her.
"No. No compulsion. I need to remember. All of it." Elena said with a certain voice.
"Lena, maybe is better you forget. You are so disappointed when you remembered that he had drank from you." Eva said looking at her sister.
"No. I need to remember." Elena said once again to them.
"I stole it back for you." Damon said helding her necklace for her to see.
"He's really gone this time. I watched it happen. After everything that we went through to get... to help him. Now he's just...gone." Elena said with tears on her eyes and Eva hugged her sister while Damon put the necklace on the table beside them. "Where were you, Damon?" Elena asked him because he was the one who promised to bring Stefan back to her.
"I shouldn't have left. I promise Elena… I will never leave your sister and you again until we bring my brother back." Damon said and grabbed her hand while the three of them looked at each other.

"Well, isn't this cozy?" Stefan asked with sarcasm which made the three of them look aside and saw Stefan leaning against a pillar at the edge of the living room. Damon got up ready to protect the girls.
"What are you doing here, brother?" Damon asked hinding his surprise to see him there but the girls showed their surprise to see him.
"Last I checked, I live here. Klaus is gone, but he's asked me to keep watch on you two until he returns. From now on, you're under my protection." Stefan said when he walked into the room to the drink table an poured himself a drink. Then he looked at Elena and Eva, held up his glass to Damon and took a drink. "Mmm, by all means. Carry on." He said and walked out of the room. Damon, Eva and Elena looked at each other but then he turned around to say something. "And don't forget Eva, Klaus and Rebekah are going to protect you and if is needed he is going to turn you into a vampire but you belong to their brother." Stefan said and finally left the living room.
~~~Eternal~~~Lust~~~
Damon and Eva were inside is bedroom while Elena went home because she couldn't stay in the same house where Stefan was. Eva was preparing herself to tell Damon what had happened and what Klaus had told her.
"I'm scared, Damon." Eva whispered to him while they were in the bed laying.
"Why? I will protect you, always." Damon promised to her.
"Klaus kissed my head. He said that his family and himself would protect me because he had promised to someone." Eva said with some fear on her voice.
"I know. Klaus said the same thing." Damon said hugging her more strongly in his arms.
"Then they say I belong to someone else. I want you. No one else." Eva said looking at him with some tears on her eyes.
"I know. I love you." Damon said to her and kissed her with so much love. Then they made love like always.

In the Pickett Mausoleum, Danielle, Katherine and Jeremy were in front of a crypt.
"How do you know that Anna wasn't tricking you?" Katherine asked him.
"This is the place. It's the oldest wing of the largest cemetery in Charlotte. She said that a witch entombed him here in the nineties." Jeremy said and they looked through the door window. Inside was an old tomb. "Look there." The youngest Gilbert and Katherine brook open the double doors, then Danielle looked at the tomb and pushed the top slab off it and then they saw that Mikael was lying in it, mummified and chained up. As soon as the tomb was opened, he opened his eyes.
