Elena is wearing, a green tank top and black shorts on and she's asleep, under a red blanket, on her bed. There's a rustling sound, downstairs and it wakes her up and she sits up and looks over to her door and sees it open and then she lays back down getting comfortable and tries to fall, back to sleep. Jonas Martin is there and he's wearing, a black coat, a purple shirt and black pants and black boots on and he's standing in her and Jeremy's bathroom, in the doorway, watching her, sleep. There's another rustling sound, only louder, this time and she sits up and looks scared now and then sees her bathroom door open, but Jonas is gone and she gets up from the bed and goes over to, the bedroom door and walks in the hallway, past Jeremy's room and checks her surroundings, now and sees his door open and she goes over to the door and then there's footsteps, from a guy behind her, he's carrying a bowl of cereal, in his hand and she turns to who it is and its Alaric and they both gasp in surprise and in shock. He has no shirt on, and black underwear on and she notices and then looks back up at him, with a smile. He covers himself up, with his hand, embarrassed now and says with a smile, "Elena?!" Elena nods and retorts with a smile, "Ric, I heard something, it woke me up." He nods and laughs. Jenna's hair is a mess and she stands near him, on the top of the steps, wearing, his blue shirt and her black underwear on and explains embarrassed now as well, "That was us, in the kitchen. Elena nods, smiles and Jenna apologizes sternly, now, "I'm sorry." Jonas is in Elena's room, he's at her dresser and he takes some hair from her hair brush out and lays it on a white cloth, he grabs some of her bracelets and a portrait of her in cheerleading outfit, whilst they're still talking in the hall. Alaric smiles and explains sadly, "We didn't think, that anyone else was up." Jenna nods, cuts him of and retorts with a smile, "Rite." Elena says nothing and Alaric laughs again and comments with a smile and retorts done, "Well, I'm naked, so I'm going to go." He smiles and walks past her and goes back inside Jenna's room and Elena looks back to Jenna and shakes her head, smiling and then walks past her and goes back to her room and Jenna sighs, stands in the hallway and faces her and apologizes again, with a smile, "I'm really, really sorry?" Elena faces her, shakes her head and retorts with a smile, "He's my dad. Its k, Jenna. Don't worry about it!" She turns back to her room, but Jenna shakes her head and admits with a smile, "I know, he's been staying over a lot and are sure, its k?" Elena looks back to her and comments with a smile, "It seems like things, between you guys, are good?" Jenna nods and now, admits with a smile, "Extremely good." Elena nods and retorts with a smile, "Well, then, there's nothing, to apologize for. Goodnight, Jenna." Jenna nods and then goes back to her room. Jonas walks out of Elena's room, through her bathroom, to the hallway and Elena walks in and goes straight to her bed as Jonas stands in the hallway grabs a mirror and puts it, in his back pants pocket and covers it with his coat, near Elena's door and hears her gets inside her bed and goes to sleep and, then he goes downstairs, leaves out of the house, shuts the front door and then goes home.

Stefan and Damon are standing on the porch and Stefan knocks, on the door and Elena opens it, now, wearing, a purple top and black jeans and tennis shoes on and speaks and asks sternly, "Can we talk?" She sees Damon there too and looks surprised and then looks back, over to Stefan and asks confused, "Why?" He sighs, says nothing and looks over to Damon, who explains and admits with a smile, "We went, to see, Katherine." Stefan nods and looks back over to her and looks unfazed by it and says sternly, "Come on in?" Stefan walks past her and so does Damon with a smirk on and she shuts the door behind her.

*Flashback- The Fell's Church/The Tomb- An Ambush/A Meeting*

Damon and Stefan stand, at the threshold and Katherine senses their presence, she stands behind the wall, near her room and comments with a smile, flattered, "Please, come on in? There's plenty of room, for all of us." Damon shakes his head and remarks with a smile, now, "I'd rather, poke my eyes out!" Katherine nods and retorts with a smile, "Oh, and you have such pretty eyes." Damon smiles and Stefan speaks and says sternly, "We're here, for the Moonstone." She looks surprised and says nothing, in shock and Damon speaks and asks sternly, "Do you, feel like, tossing it over?" She sighs, takes a step forward out and retorts with a smile, "I'll tell you, what, you go get one, of your witches, to Hocus Pocus me, out of here and I'll give you, whatever, you want?!" Stefan looks astonished now and recalls with a smile and comments confused, "I thought, you liked it, in here, nice and safe, where Klaus, can't get to you?" She sighs annoyed now and retorts with a smile, "Well, I've had time, to reconsider." Damon nods, cuts her off and retorts with a smile, "Meaning, you're hungry?" She walks over to them now and stops at the threshold and retorts sternly, "I'm starving, Damon and dirty and above all, I'm bored." They smile at her as she continues and reveals sternly and informs them with a smile, "So, here's the deal, you get me, out of here, you get the moonstone, and I'll disappear from Mystic Falls, forever and ya'll never, have to see me, again?!" They smile at each other, in shock by that and says nothing and she comments holding, the stone, in her hand, and retorts with a smile, "Let me know, what you decide?!" She goes back down, the hallway, turns the corner and goes back to her room.

*Flashback Ends*

*Back in The Present Day- The Gilbert's House- The Kitchen- A Meeting*

Elena is standing, in the threshold, to the kitchen and the living room. She speaks and comments in disbelief, "You don't really, believe her, do you?" Stefan and Damon are standing, behind the counter now and Damon shakes his head and retorts with a smile, now, "No. Of course not, we just, want the moonstone." She nods and Stefan nods and reveals sternly, "According, to Rose's friend Slater, there's a way, to destroy the spell, that Klaus wants to break?" She says nothing upset by this as Damon nods and remarks with a smile, "No spell, no Doppelgänger sacrifice, ergo, you live." She nods, crosses her arms and asks tired, "How, do you, destroy it?" Stefan leans against the counter and reveals sternly, "By releasing it, from the moonstone." She sighs, shakes her head and retorts in disbelief now, "How, do you guys, even know, that this, is going to work?" She smiles and sits at the counter, across from, Stefan and Damon responds and admits with a smile, "Because we have, a very crafty witch, on our side." She nods and sighs sadly and retorts upset now, "You've already, discussed this, with Bonnie and Claire?" Stefan nods and retorts with a smile, "Sadly, Claire, is back at Whitmore college. So, no. She's busy. Bonnie, yes. She has agreed, to do anything, she could, to help us." Elena nods, but recalls sadly, with a smile, "Its Katherine, that has the moonstone and she's not just going, to give it, to you!" Stefan nods and says serious, "Then, we will, get it from her!" Damon nods and remarks with a smile, "What he means, to say, is that, we will pry it, from her cold dead head, if we have to?!" She nods and says nothing as Stefan responds and admits sternly, "Bonnie just has to find a way, to release the seal, long enough for us, to get in, get the moonstone and get out the tomb, before, she reseals it." She nods, comments impressed, with a smile and says sternly, "Wow, that makes sense, you guys, already, got it all, planned out?" Damon nods and retorts with a smile, now, "Yep, we're awesome." Elena nods, continues and admits sadly, "Except, for one thing, I don't want you, to do it!" She looks sad and they look at her surprised and shocked now. Stefan shakes his head and comments confused, "What, are you talking about, Elena? We don't, have a choice!" She responds and interjects serious, "What, bout Klaus?!" Stefan nods and retorts sternly, "We'll find him, rite after, we get the moonstone!" She scoffs with a smile and asks in disbelief, now, "Is that, before or after, he kills everybody, that I care about, including the two, of you?!" She looks at them upset and Damon says nothing, still in shock by this and Stefan shakes his head and admits sadly, "Elena, if we can de-spell, the moonstone, we can save your life?!" Damon nods in agreement and Elena sighs sad and admits done, "I know. You guys, don't have to keep saying that?!" She leaves to go talk to Rose. They sigh, still in shock, by this, now, now, contemplating.

Bonnie is wearing, a black jacket a purple and gold top and black leggings and black boots, on. Luka is wearing, a black jacket, a brown shirt and black jeans and black boots on. Bonnie and Luka are, walking together, from out of the building, and into the courtyard and they talk. He speaks and he comments with a smile, says surprised, "So your Grams, waited, until you were, in high school, to tell you, that you, were a witch?" She nods and reveals with a smile, "No. She brought it up before, but I just thought, she was drunk." He nods and laughs as she continues and retorts with a smile, "In my defense, she was." He nods and retorts with a smile, "So, you're, like new, at this?" She nods and admits with a smile, "Newish. I still, have, some growing pains." He nods, cuts her, off and retorts, with, a smile, "Like?" She sighs and admits sadly, "Physically, its become, a lot harder." They continue walking as she continues, "I um, have a bad reaction to it, sometimes." He nods and asks sternly, "Any nose bleeds?" She nods and says with a smile, "Yea and I pass out, sometimes." They stop walking and he faces her and reveals sternly, "That's because, you're trying to, do too much, on your own. You, need help." She nods and retorts confused, "From what?" He sighs and comments with a smile, now, "From nature, elements. Just things, that you can draw, extra power from?" She nods in understanding and then he asks curious, with a smile, "Have you, ever channeled, another witch, before?" She nods and admits sadly, "Once. My best friend's, older sister. Claire Forbes. But, um, I almost, killed her, in the process. I didn't know, it was a one-time spell! My cousin Lucy, had to break the link, between us, to save her and she healed her body, from the injuries. She's better now." He nods and retorts with a smile, "Well, I'll help you, do it, the correct way?" She nods and says sternly, "K, how?" He nods and admits with a smile, "Well, lets say, we put our energy, together? We can double, our strength." She says nothing surprised and he puts his bag down on the ground and says sternly, now, "I'll show you, watch? Give me, your bracelet?" She takes off her gold bracelet and he takes off his silver military tags and says sternly, "Take this." She does and gives him her bracelet and he takes it and continues and says sternly, "Now, I want you, to stand, very still and concentrate?" She nods and asks still at a loss, with a smile, "I don't get it. What, are we, doing?" She laughs and he retorts with a smile, "I know... We're Channeling. Our personal items, will act as a talisman, now, close your eyes and concentrate?" She sighs and closes her eyes and he notices and she concentrates and then feels power, go through her in a sexual way and says in shock, "What is that? Aah." She gasps in shock and sighs in pleasure. He says nothing with a smile, feeling it too and then closes his eyes and concentrates again and all the leaves, on the ground, fly in a circle, around them, from the wind and they both notice and smile and then they stop, and the wind stops and the leaves fall back, on the ground and they laugh. He nods and comments with a smile, "Pretty cool, rite?" She nods and smiles and so does he.

Jeremy is wearing, a purple and grey plaid jacket, a grey shirt and black jeans on and black boots on. He approaches them now and comments about the weather, with a smile, "What's with that, weather, huh?" She smiles and says nothing. Luka explains and says with a smile, "Its Global Warning, man." Jeremy nods and smiles as he continues and retorts with a smile, "Idk." He looks over to Bonnie and says with a smile, "I gotta go." She nods and he continues and says sternly, "See you, later, Bonnie." She nods and says with a smile, "Bye, Luka." He nods, picks up his bag and says with a smile, "Bye." He leaves. Jeremy stands, in front of her and comments about Luka, with a smile, "The guy is weird, huh?" She shakes her head and retorts with a smile, intrigued bout him, "No. He's not." Jeremy nods and says nothing and then she, sees, she still has his tags, in her hands and looks surprised and then her phone buzzes and she takes it out of her pants pocket and she looks at the message, shocked and Jeremy comments with a smile and asks sternly, "What is it?" She sighs upset and admits sternly, "Its Damon." He nods.

*The Salvatore Boarding House- The Hallway- An Ambush/The Ballroom, The Evening- A Meeting*

Elena walks in, wearing, a black jacket, a purple top, and, black jeans and purple sandals, on. She now, closes the door behind her, and Rose walks out of Damon's room, and goes down the hall, tying her burgundy bathroom up and says with a smile, upset, "Its not very nice, to leave a girl naked, so earlier, in the morning?" Rose sees Elena there and comments with a smile, "Woah, I'm sorry. I thought, you were..." Elena looks away and sighs upset and retorts with a smile, "Yea, I um, I'm sorry." Rose nods and admits with a smile, "Nobody else, is here." Elena nods and admits with a smile, now, "Actually, I came here, to talk to you." Rose nods, looks surprised now and remarks with a smile, "Well, then, I should, probably, get dressed." Elena nods and Rose goes back to Damon's room and changes her clothes.

From what, Stefan, told me..." She walks over to her as she continues and says serious, now, "Your friend Slater, obviously, have more information, bout Klaus and you and Damon, just gave up, before you got it!" Rose nods and retorts with a smile, "Yea, because, somebody blew up, a coffee shop, with us, in it." Elena nods and retorts sternly, "Yea, but there's more, to learn!" Rose scoffs upset now and in disbelief as she continues, "We just, have to, find a way, to learn it?" Rose shakes her head sad and retorts upset now and asks in disbelief, "Why are you, coming at me, with this? That, was a hit, on my life, alright, so excuse me, if I, want to, take a step, back and be reasonable, bout this?!" Elena nods, sighs sadly and recalls sternly, "Because you are being un-reasonable, and plus, you owe me!" Rose looks at her confused as she continues and admits with a smile, "One word, from me, and Damon and Stefan, could've easily killed you, for kidnaping me?" Rose nods and remarks with a smile, "Or maybe, its because, you know, they wouldn't want you, to, be, doing this?" Elena now, says nothing bored and looks annoyed now as she continues, "And that means, it gives you, the chance, to act dumb and to sneak away?" She smiles and Elena shakes her head and retorts with a smile, "We're having a disagreement, k?" Rose glares at her and says nothing as she reveals upset and says sadly, "They're willing, to risk everyone, that I care about and I love and I'm not!" Rose sighs and retorts with a smile, "They're just, trying to, protect you." Elena nods and recalls with a smile, "And you've proven, that you, couldn't care less, whether, I'm protected or not? So, we're back, to you, taking me, to Slater!" She glares at her and Rose sighs, sits near her and asks confused, "What exactly, do you hope, to achieve, by this?" Elena ignores her question and asks sternly, "How, would you, like to, walk in, the Daylight?" Rose looks at her shocked and astonished now and reveals sadly, "I've been a slave, to the shadows, for 500 years, what do you, think?!" Elena nods and retorts with a smile, "Well, I think, I know a witch, who's willing to do, whatever, it takes to help?!" She smiles and Rose looks at her cheery and still surprised now as Elena comments and retorts sternly, "If you're willing, to make a deal?" Rose nods.

She sighs, crosses her arms and asks sternly, "Well, have you, even thought, about the whole, wolf thing or talked, to your siblings, about it? I mean, do you know, what you are, going to do?"
