Damon slammed the door open and breathed heavy through his nose. Though it was pitch dark, he could smell the scent of fresh blood. So could Stefan and Katherine. Stefan bent and touched the ground.
“I don’t understand” he mumbled desperate. “Amber is my friend. Why would she attack Elena?”
“Maybe because she’s a psychotic vampire?” Damon snapped sarcastic. He was having so many different emotions right now there was no room for pity for his brother. “Seriously, what were you thinking? How long have you known this chick? What made you think you can trust her? She tried to kill Elena before and yet you let her in?”
Stefan, who had stand up during Damon’s tirade, went through his hair. “She said she was sorry and I believed her. It was stupid, I know that now” he exclaimed. He didn’t understand any of this. Amber was supposed to help him, but she totally turned her back on him. He shook his head in denial. Then he looked up, hit by realization. “Amber, what did Klaus ask you?” Amber freed herself and shot Stefan an annoyed glance. “Let go of me, Stefan. What Klaus and I had to discuss is none of your business. Now back off” she snapped all hostile.
“Klaus” he said soft yet everyone in the room could hear him. “He must’ve compelled her to attack Elena… He must’ve known”
Damon nodded scared.
“There’s something else you should know” Stefan said. Now that they were about to find out he felt it only appropriate they heard it from him.
“Stefan, I really can only focus on saving Elena right now” Damon said agitated.
“I abducted Caroline” Stefan ignored Damon. “She’s not with her father”
“Whàt?” Damon said.
“I knew it!” Katherine triumphed at the same time. “Sorry” she added when everyone stared at her.
“Caroline knew too much, she had to be taken care of” Stefan explained.
“By taking care you mean…” Katherine said.
“She’s not dead, but she’s a vampire and it’s a full moon tonight. And we have Tyler as well” Stefan said quickly. “Tyler would’ve find her absence suspicious”
“So you took care of him, too?” Damon said. “Way to go, bro”
“I know where they are, but we have to move fast. As soon as the moon has risen Klaus will take all vampires and werewolves on a hunt and let them kill anyone on their path, including Elena” Stefan said.
“You go ahead. Take Katherine with you” Damon said. He looked at Alaric. “We’re going to have a little chat with Bonnie”
“I don’t understand” he mumbled desperate. “Amber is my friend. Why would she attack Elena?”

It was five minutes to Midnight. Jeremy wandered around at Fell’s Church, glancing at his watch. He looked around to see if the nurse wasn’t there yet. He heard murmur behind him and turned around quickly.
“Don’t say I’m late” the nurse said when Jeremy opened his mouth. She looked around to see if no one could see them.
“I doubt anyone’s going to see this” Jeremy mumbled. The nurse sighed and put her hand in her pocket. She took out a cylinder box and gave it to Jeremy. Sonata it said. “It’s a new medicine. It only stays in your body for a short time, and it works if you have trouble falling asleep. It’s safe, but take only one. If something happens it’s on me” she said worried.
“No one would know you gave me the pills” Jeremy said. “I’m not going to betray you”
“Well, that’s a relief” the nurse said cynical.
“Hey, can I know your name?” Jeremy asked.
But the girl was already gone.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.
