They all stood around watching Bonnie take apart the device and begin to despell it. Damon and Eliza rolled their eyes to each other knowing it wasn't going to work but wanted the others to say they were right.

As Bonnie worked the lights began to flicker and then the fireplace roared to life. Stefan took Elena's hand in his both to comfort and in concern about the process.

"Done," Bonnie said as the lights and fire returned to normal and she turned to face Elena.

"Great now what?," Damon asked as Bonnie handed the piece of the device to Elena.

"Now we give it to Isobel," with that said they all got ready to go out to meet Isobel.

They had to be smart when they got to the park so Elena stood by the statue, Eliza stood a few feet away behind another statue, and the brother's were in ear shot.

"Where's the device?," Isobel demanded as she whooshed into the square.

"Where's my brother?,"

"This isn't a negotiation,"

"It is if you don't want her to kill you," Elena said pointing to where Eliza came out from behind the statue.

"Mackenzie," Isobel muttered in shock as Eliza's colors got brighter upon seeing her.

"She want's you dead, so again where's our brother?,"

"Do you really think I came alone?," Isobel said as her minions walked up behind Elena.

"Do you really think I came alone besides my sister?," Elena said as Damon and Stefan walked up behind Isobel with Eliza in between them.

"For god's sake call home,"

"What?,"

"Call home ask to speak to your brother Jeremy," Isobel rolled her eyes as Elena pulled out her phone to do so.

"Jeremy are you okay?," Eliza sighed a bit in relief as she heard Elena ask that question.

"I'll be home soon alright. You were never going to hurt him,"

"No I was going to kill him," as she said that Eliza growled behind her making her gulp.

"But changed my mind for the fact I didn't want to piss off a Mackenzie more then I already had. Don't look for any redeeming qualities in me I don't have any,"

"But you took a risk with Damon, how did you know he was going to give it to me?,"

"Cause he is in love with you," as Isobel said that Eliza's heart fell and her features reverted back to normal.

Stefan laid a hand on her back knowing those words had hurt her more then she would let on.

"Thank you," Elena said as she slapped the device into Isobel's hand.

"For what?,"

"For being such a monumental disappointment, keeps the memory of my real mother perfectly in tact,"

"Goodbye Elena, as long as you have a Salvatore on each arm you're doomed. Katherine was smart she got out. But we all know you're not Katherine," Isobel turned and began walking away with her minions after making a point.

Eliza turned kissing Stefan's cheek before leaving as well not being able to stand being near Damon any longer that evening.

Getting in her Impala she drove home her heart broken, not cause she was in love with him, but cause she loved him as a dear friend and he had yet again chosen a Petrova.

Arriving home she entered only to discover Nik had gotten home too. Pulling her into his arms she laid her head on his chest and listen to his soothing heart beat.

"Prepare for it,"

"Are you sure?,"

"She has crossed my last line I would rather see your curse broken then history repeat,"

"So it shall be done my fire lily," Nik kissed the top of her head as they together smiled that soon enough he would be free and she would pay for what her line had done to Eliza.

A couple of hours later Jeremy arrived home to Eliza's and of course knowing her was checked for any injuries. Being happy to see him unharmed she kissed his cheek and sent him to bed since they both had a long day.

When he got upstairs he tried calling Anna again.

"Hey this is Anna leave a message," with no answer he hung up only to have Elena call him.

"Jeremy we have to talk about this,"

"No we really don't,"

"I don't know what Anna told you but there are things you need to know,"

"I know everything Elena, Eliza isn't like you she kept my memories, and tell me the truth. Plus I'm pretty sure your journal covered it all,"

"You read my journal?,"

"Save me the speech about invasion of privacy because I read the section of Damon erasing my memory, well your version at least, of what you thought happened,"

"Please Jer you don't understand. The night that Vicki died it was like mom and dad died all over again. It was all over your face, and it hurt so much to see you like that that I just wanted to take away your pain. I'm so sorry,"

"Just don't call me again or talk to me any time soon Elena. Goodbye," as he hung up he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders and took a steady breath before getting ready for bed.

After getting a shower he re entered his room and turned off the light. As he turned around he was shocked to see Anna standing behind him.

"Anna hey what are you doing here?,"

"I was just so lost after my mother died," Anna began to cry and Jeremy pulled her into his arms vowing never to let her go again.

Salvatore House

"Would you like one?," Damon asked Stefan as he entered the parlor just as he poured the bourbon.

"Say it, whatever it is. Purge get it out,"

"It's about what Isobel said,"

"What about it?,"

"Well I know you and Elena bonded, and I know that she cares about you, and I know you care about her,"

"Well this is going in a interesting direction,"

"I'm just concerned about Elena and Eliza being hurt, which she was tonight. Elena considers you a friend,"

"Same here Elena's a very good friend, actually she might qualify as my only friend. Eliza is on a whole other level and pedestal in my life. Is there a problem?,"

"So at the risk of sounding like a jealous boyfriend,"

"Well there's no risk you do,"

"History will not be repeating itself to protect all those involved. You understand what I'm saying?,"

"Sure, sure," Damon said as he turned away only for Stefan to whoosh in front of him.

"Do you understand?,"

"Whatever you say man. Honestly we're just friends, and as her friend I wasn't looking forward to telling her the truth anyways so I'll let you do it,"

"What truth?,"

"About John, cause I know you guys don't like to keep secrets from each other,"

"What are you talking about?,"

"Am I the only one around here with the ability to put two and two together. Isobel, hello. She dated John when she was fifteen, she get's pregnant, and then ends up at the doctor's office of John's brother. Now what do you think John's role in all this was hm? I mean go on think about it I'll wait,"

"So you think that John is Elena's father?,"

"Ding, ding, ding, ding,"

"What proof do you have?,"

"I don't need any proof it's a dna test for John and Elena and Maury Poverich to deal with. But I know how well you deal with bombshells so sleep tight," Damon refilled his glass and headed upstairs leaving Stefan to think.

"Oh and when you do tell Elena and she needs a friend to talk to about anything I'm here for her," Stefan looked after his brother concern growing in the pit of his stomach. History was going to repeat itself he just knew it.
