Jenna is packing up the boxes and putting them away, in the closet and then hears the doorbell ring and she wonders who that is. So, she sits the last box down on the floor near the closet and then walks over to the door and opens it and sees Logan Fell on her porch and he says with a smile, now, "Hello Jenna." She looks at him shocked and says surprised, "Logan?!" He nods and retorts with a smile, "Aren't you, going to invite me in?" She glares at him upset and he smiles. She responds and asks sternly and confused, "Why are you here, Logan?" He looks at her surprised and retorts confused, "I missed you. I was out of town?" She nods and retorts sternly, "Yea, I got that email!" He looks at her shocked and retorts surprised, "You got an Email?" She responds and says confused, "You didn't send an email?" He opens his mouth, to say something, but stops himself and she looks at him upset as he tries to explain, "I can explain, invite me in and I'll tell you everything?" She shakes her head and retorts upset, "I'm not going to, invite you in, forget it!" He looks at her astonished and says hurt, "C'mon Jenna, its me?" She shakes her head and says hurt, "The answer is no." He nods and remarks with a smile, says in disbelief, "I know you. You're always, a step ahead, with a maybe or a tiny nudge to yes?" She scoffs and says upset and retorts with smile, "You just pointed out, that I have no self-control? Clever strategy." She slams the door shut in his face and he sighs and leaves and then he kills a woman, Daphne, who was taking a leisure jog around the block and he leaves her body there on the ground to send a message to any other vampires in town.

*Back Inside, Morning- Jeremy's Bedroom/The Living Room- A Meeting*

Jeremy is wearing a grey t-shirt and navy-blue jeans on. He's reading his ancestors journal on his bed and reads a section out loud, 'I live in fear, it consumes me. In the early evening, when I see the sun, beginning to fade, the fear comes, because I know, that the night, brings death.' He flips, a few pages and sees a sketch of a vampire and he gets up and grabs his sketchpad and starts drawing one, inspired and Elena sees from in her room and smiles, relieved and then she goes downstairs, wearing, a pink tank top, back pre-ripped jeans and a black jacket vest with silvers zippers on the sleeves and, black knee-high boots. Jenna is wearing a blue sweater and black jeans with black boots. Elena sees her and reveals with a smile, "Jeremy's got his sketchpad out." She looks over at her shocked and says in disbelief, with a smile, "You're kidding?" Elena shakes her head and retorts with a smile, "Nope, but don't say a word. The minute, you encourage him, he'll put it away." She smiles happy and remarks, "Psychology major. Check that." Elena looks at her messages on her phone sad and Jenna grabs her black jacket and walks over to her and comments, "You and Stefan?" Elena sighs, nods and retorts sternly, "He knows how I feel and where I stand. I know how he feels and where he stands. It doesn't matter, he's leaving. Moving away." She looks at her surprised and retorts curious, "Where is he going?" They leave and Elena responds and retorts with a smile, "I'd stop asking questions, the answers get scary." Jenna laughs as they walk down the steps and she admits sadly, "Yours leave, and mine returns!" Elena looks at her shocked and retorts upset, "Logan?" She nods and retorts tired, "He's back. I didn't let him pass the front door!" Elena nods and remarks sternly, "I hope you slammed it in his face!" She laughs and retorts with a smile, "I did, I was spiteful." She nods as they continue walking and says sternly, "You're not even allowed to watch the news!" Jenna nods and retorts with a smile, "No more Logan scum-Fell!"

*Back at The Salvatore Boarding House- The Living Room- A Meeting/An Ambush*

Damon is looking out the window and he's wearing all black clothes. Stefan walks in, wearing a brown jacket, a purple t-shirt and navy-blue pants and he asks sternly, "So, any idea, of where you'll go?" Damon responds and retorts uncertain, "I don't know. London, maybe. See some friends?" Stefan walks in further and responds and retorts with a smile, "You don't have any friends, Damon!" Damon nods, and remarks with a smile, "You're right, Stefan. I only have you!" Stefan laughs as he walks away from the window and over to where he is and continues, "So, where are we going?" Stefan faces him and retorts serious, "We.", are not going anywhere. I'm gonna live my life, as far away from you, as possible!" Damon looks at him shocked and says hurt, "But we're a team!" He takes a step forward to him and continues and admits with a smile, "We could travel the world, together. We could try out, for The Amazing Race." Stefan nods and remarks with a smile, "That's funny." Damon says nothing as he continues and retorts serious and not in the mood for games, "Seriously, where are you going? Cause you're not staying in this town!" The doorbell rings and they both look at each other surprised and Stefan walks over to the door and opens it and sees the Sheriff and she says sternly, "I'm here, to see Damon?" Stefan nods and says with a smile, "Sure, k." Damon stands beside him and says with a smile, Sheriff, what a surprise?" She nods and retorts serious, "I'm sorry, to bother you, but we need to talk?!" Stefan looks confused and surprised and Damon nods and says sternly, "Come in?" Stefan sits in the living room and Damon and the sheriff go outside on the back porch and talk. Damon speaks and admits sternly, "I hope you, don't mind the scenery and secrecy, cause Stefan, doesn't even know, about this, yet and I'd like, to keep it, that way?" She nods and retorts with a smile, "Of course. Kids, are too young to be brought into this." He nods and asks sternly, "So, what do you need?" She nods, responds and reveals sadly, "There's been another attack. A female victim, her throat torn out, complete drained of blood. It fits the pattern." He looks at her surprised and retorts confused and upset, "I'm sorry, I don't understand. I thought, we solved, that problem, when we staked, the blonde one." She nods, and retorts sternly, "Another vampire, must've turned someone..." Back Inside, Stefan overhears their entire conversation as she continues, "Or multiple somebody's, idk?" Back Outside, she continues and admits sternly, "The story for the town, is another animal attack? I'm not sure, how long, we can keep lying, to them!" He nods in frustration too as she continues and says upset, "The council is on board, but we thought, we were past this!" He nods and asks sternly, "So, what do you, want me, to do?" She nods, responds and admits sternly, "Well, you're the only one, whose taken on, a vampire? We were, hoping you, can tell us?!" He nods in understanding. Stefan continues listening in.

*Back at Mystic Falls High- The Hallway- A Meeting*

Matt and Caroline are walking together and talking. Matt is wearing a navy-blue shirt and jeans on. Caroline is wearing a black vest, a pink top, a black white plaid skirt, with black leggings underneath and black boots. Matt speaks and asks sternly, "Did you, see Nightmare on Elm Street?" She nods and retorts with a smile, "I saw the shower scene, before I fell asleep." He nods and retorts with a smile, "Did you, listen to Celine Dion's music, bout Cancer?" She nods and retorts with a smile, "Those always make me cry." He nods and they continue walking, "Oh yea and meanwhile, the judge kept screaming, so I turned it off." She laughs and Tyler sees them, talking and looks shocked and says upset to his friends, "Is this a joke, you gotta be kidding me?!" They nod in agreement. Matt and Caroline stop in the hallway and she responds to him and retorts with a smile, "I watched Family Guy, so you owed me?" He smiles.

Elena and Bonnie walk in and sees Matt and Caroline, flirting and talking and Elena comments in shock and says confused, now, "Did I, miss something?" Matt and Caroline walk in the same class and Bonnie comments and admits with a smile, "They've been hanging out." Elena nods and retorts upset, "Kinda of weird, don't you, think?" They continue, walking through, the hall, as Bonnie shakes her head and admits sternly, "She needs a nice guy like him. As supposed to, a homicidal, deranged and an abusive vampire boyfriend, like Damon?!" Elena nods and asks curious, Yea, I guess so. How are you doing, with all of that?" Bonnie looks over to her and admits, "Oh, I'm freaked out. Damon attacked me; I could be dead, right now. But, I'm also grateful, to Stefan. He saved my life!" Elena nods and walks over to her locker and Bonnie asks sternly, "Have you, seen him?" Elena shakes her head and admits sad, "Not since, he told me, that he's leaving." She opens her locker and puts her bag in, and Bonnie shakes her head and retorts sternly, "He wouldn't leave, without saying goodbye?" She now, grabs her history book and looks over to her and retorts with a smile, "Yes, he would. He's thinks, he's protecting me. A clean break and all that!" Bonnie nods and retorts confused, "So, what are you going to do?" She shuts her locker, faces her and retorts sternly, "I've already begged him not to go? If I ask again, I'm being selfish. It is what it is?" They start walking down the hall again and Bonnie sighs and retorts sternly, "Maybe, its for the best." She stops walking and looks over to her hurt and asks sternly and confused, "What, Why?!" Bonnie looks over to her and retorts confused, "Well, I mean, what could've future, could you have, even had with him, even, if he stayed?!" Elena says nothing sad and then they see a banter for career day, mysteriously fall, in front of them and Elena asks sternly, "Did you just..." Bonnie shakes her head and cuts her off and retorts sternly, "No. I swear!" Elena nods, lifts it up and goes under it and to class. Bonnie follows after her and goes to class too.

*Back at The Salvatore Boarding House- The Living Room- An Ambush/A Meeting*

Stefan is still sitting on the couch using his vamp-hearing and Damon walks the sheriff out and says sternly, "Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think?" She nods and leaves and Damon closes the door and then Stefan flashes over to him and grabs him by the collar of his shirt and says pissed off, "What the hell, is wrong with you, you killed somebody?!" Damon scoffs and shoves him away and retorts sternly, "Get off of me! A: Don't touch me!" He walks past him and continues, "B: If I had, I wouldn't have been, so damn obvious, bout it?" Stefan looks over to him, nods and takes a step forward as he continues and admits serious, "C: There's a new vampire in town." Stefan shakes his head and retorts in disbelief, "That's impossible." Damon shakes his head and retorts with a smile, "Obviously not." Stefan sighs and asks sternly, "Well, who could it be?" Damon turns away from him, sighs and remarks with a smile, "Oh, what do we care, were leaving anyway, rite?!" Stefan shakes his head and retorts sternly, "No. I can't leave now and you damn well, know that!" Damon smiles and says nothing as he takes a step forward and retorts confused, "How are we, supposed to find this person?" Damon smiles and remarks sternly, "Let the adults, handled this Stefan." He leaves and so does Stefan to warn Elena.

*Back at Mystic Falls High, Evening- Outside- An Ambush/A Meeting*

Elena is walking and then sees Stefan, standing near a tree and he smiles at her and she looks at him surprised and takes a step forward to him and he speaks and says, "Hi." She says nothing, still upset with him and he takes a step forward to her and says sternly, "We need to talk?" She nods.

Tyler and Matt, are playing, a practice basketball game. Tyler speaks and comments about Caroline, "So, wassup with you and Forbes?" He shakes his head and retorts with a smile, "Nothing's up." Tyler shakes his head and remarks with a smile, "I saw you two in the hall today, don't even try to deny it, bro. You're screwing her, just like my brother, is doing her sister?!" Matt shakes his head and retorts with a smile, "Its not like that!" Tyler smiles and retorts, "It never is!" He makes the shot and Matt grabs the ball as he continues, "Until you become, 'We People...'" Matt looks at him shocked and he retorts, in disbelief, "We People?" Tyler nods and retorts sternly, "Yea, we can't make it to the party and we'll never miss a game?" Matt makes the shot and admits with a smile, "We hung out twice." Tyler grabs the ball, nods, looks over to him and retorts with a smile, "Like I said? We." Matt smiles and says nothing else.

Back in The Parking Lot, Elena speaks and says surprised and retorts confused, "So do you have any idea, who it could be?" He shakes his head and admits sternly, "None. But it must be somebody new, cause leaving a body like that? They're either sloppy or they're trying to send a message?" She nods and retorts sternly, "And you're sure, that it wasn't Damon?" He sighs and retorts with a smile, "Well, I'm never sure bout Damon? He's been trying to keep a low-profile lately, so it just doesn't make any sense to me?" She sighs and asks sternly, "So what are you going to do?" He responds and admits sternly, "Damon is tracking them, right now. I promised you, the truth, so I wanted to tell you. I want you to be careful?" She nods and says sadly, "When, I saw you. I thought, you were coming, to say goodbye?" He shakes his head and admits with a smile, "Not yet."

*Back at The Gilbert's House- The Living Room- A Meeting*

Jeremy is sitting in the couch, sketching a vampire in sketchpad and Jenna walks in now and he asks sternly, "Hey, what do you think?" She looks at it and says with a smile, "Creepy." He nods and reveals to her, with a smile, "I found this old journal of dad's stuff. Jonathan Gilbert from the 1800's. He's kinda of a freak-show? He wrote bout demons and all of these people getting slaughtered..." Jenna nods, sits on the arm of the couch and admits with a smile, "Yea, he was a writer. Short stories, horror stuff?" She gets up and walks over to a bookshelf as Jeremy smiles and retorts surprised, "He wrote fiction?" He continues sketching and remarks, "I figured, he was just a lunatic or a drunk?" She grabs a small brown book and walks over to him and remarks with a smile, "Ugh, he was a Gilbert, probably, a little bit of both?" He laughs, nods and takes the book. She smiles and leaves.

*The Fell's Warehouse- Sunset- An Ambush/A Meeting*

Caroline is standing in the middle of the alley with the vampire compass in her hand and it points at the warehouse and she walks over to it and stops outside and asks to Damon on the phone, "So, what do, I do now?" He responds and says sternly, "Just, wait? I'll be there, in a minute." She responds and retorts upset and says impatient, "Can you hurry, I have things to do?" He flashes in front of her and retorts with a smile, "You can, give me that?" She sighs, faces him and gives it to him, and he looks at her and takes it with a smile. She comments about it and asks curious and says also confused, "So, why did, you need me, to do this?" He responds and retorts sternly, "Because, I interfere with the signal." She nods as he looks around their surroundings and she asks bored and tired, "Can I, go now? This has, blown like, half of my day?!" He looks back over to her and compels her with a smile, 'You do that, you get in your car, forget, I asked you, do to this?' She responds and says with a smile, "K, bye now." He smiles and says sternly, "Bye." He puts the compass in his pants pocket and then walks up the steps to the building and goes in the back entrance and opens the door and walks in and sees the lights are off and its dim inside and he checks his surroundings carefully and then gets shot multiple times in the chest, his arms, shoulders and legs with wooden bullets and gasps in shock and falls on his knees in pain and looks to see who did that and its Logan and he looks shocked and surprised. Logan Fell comes out of the dark and laughs and walks over to him.

*A Few Minutes Later- An Ambush*

Damon is sitting on the floor and trying to get out the wooden bullets and Logan paces back and forth and admits with a smile and berates him, "I have tons of wooden bullets, so nothing funky with you?!" Damon sighs, grabs a bullet out of his shoulder blade and takes it out and retorts with a smile, "Trust me, you don't want to do this?!" He shoots him again, in the left arm and Damon comments and groans in pain, "Ow!" Logan comments and remarks with a smile, "That's what you get"? Damon looks over to him upset and retorts confused, "For what?!" Logan kneels and crotches down to his level and retorts upset, "You made me like this!" Damon pulls the bullet, shakes his head and retorts sternly, "I killed you, but I didn't turn you! Logan picks up, one of the bullets, from off the floor and retorts with a smile, "You see, I know what you and your brother are? I've been watching the two of you, and I know you'd show up here." Damon rubs his sore collarbone as he continues and admits with a smile, "I'm kinda glad, you did, because, I have some questions! Damon nods and retorts sternly in agreement, "Me, first?" Logan nods and stands again as he asks confused, "Who turned you?" Logan responds, in disbelief and yells angry, "How should, I know? Last thing, I remember is, I'm about to stake your brother, and then, you grab me?" Damon pulls the last bullet out and glares at him as he continues, "That's it! Until, I wake up in the ground, behind a used car dealership, on Highway 4-- somebody buried me?" Damon takes out the bullets from out of his legs and retorts sternly and says in pain, "It happens! Ow." Logan nods and kneels again and says serious, "You bit me, it had to, be you?" Damon sits up, looks over to him and shakes his head and reveals serious, "You have to have vampire blood, in your system, when you die. I didn't do that. Some other vampire, found you, gave you their blood." He lays down exhausted and groans in pain and Logan nods and asks sternly, "Who?" Damon sighs and retorts at a loss too, "That's what, I want to know?" Logan stands again and paces and yells upset and informs him sternly, now, "Dude, it's not like the Welcome Wagon was waiting with a Bundt cake and a handbook -- it's been a learn-as-you-go process.." He kneels again and Damon nods as he continues and says pissed off, "You know, one minute, I'm a small-town, on-the-rise news guy, and the next thing, I know, I can't get into my house, because my foot won't get through the damn door!" Damon nods, cuts him off and pulls another bullet out of his arm and retorts with a smile, "You have to be invited in." Logan nods and reveals sadly, "I know -- I live alone." Damon laughs and remarks with a smile, "Oh, that sucks." Logan nods and continues upset, "And now, I'm at the Amata, watching paper-view all day and eating everything in sight? Including housekeeping." Damon nods and remarks with a smile, now, "It could be worse." Damon takes another bullet out of his leg as he continues and admits sternly, "All I can think, about is blood, and killing people. I can't stop killing people. I keep killing..." He laughs hysterically and continues and admits, "And I like it. I'm conflicted." Damon nods and retorts with a smile, "Welcome to the club." Logan nods, stands and paces again and then Damon comments and recalls confused, "Wait, a minute, the Sheriff and her deputies only found one body?" Logan nods and retorts with a smile, "I left one, I was tired. But I've been hiding the rest of the bodies." Damon looks at him shocked and confused as he waves his gun to where the bodies are
