In the trapped room

Damon is pouring himself a glass of scotch.

Katherine: We're missing the party. I'll have one of those.

Damon: (mimics the voice of a servant boy) Right away Miss Katherine.

He gives her a glass.

Katherine: Thank you.

She drinks. He grabs her and pushes her against the wall. He tries to stake her but Stefan stops him.

{Katherine chuckles looking at Damon " It was always so easy and fun to rile you up..." and got a sarcastic smile in return...}

Stefan: No, no! Damon, don't!

Katherine: Yes, Damon, please.

Damon: The second the spell is lifted, I'm gonna drive a stake right through your heart.

Katherine: God, you're hot. When did you get so hot?

{" And you are infuriating..." said Damon and Katherine made a sad face before blowing him a kiss " I know you love me..." to which Damon made a disgusted face.}

Lucy arrives. She has the moonstone in her hand.

Lucy: Katherine, the spell on this room has been broken, you're free to leave.

Katherine: Thank God.

Lucy: When I hand this over my debt to you is over.

Katherine: Done.

Lucy: I owe you nothing.

Katherine: I said done. Give it.

Damon: I wouldn't do that.

{Damon went back to glaring at Bonnie who gave him an aneurysm making him yell in pain before hardening the glare he gave her... The Others looked on in either amusement or Boredom...}

She gives her the moonstone. When Katherine touches it, she can't breathe.

Lucy: You should have told me another witch was involved. She's a Bennett witch, Katherine, but I'm sure you knew that. Also, did you know she was the ' Chosen One '..

Stefan: Wait, Elena!

Lucy: Elena's fine.

Katherine falls on the floor.

{Katherine looks furious as she glares at the screen and vowed to make Lucy pay. She rolls her eyes the victorious look Damon sends her and muttered ' childish ' under her breath.}

Lucy: The spell is broken. She'll heal quickly, Bonnie's with her.

Katherine is suffocating.

Lucy: I apologize for my involvement.

She discreetly looks at the couch behind them and bows down before leaving.

{Everyone narrowed their eyes at the screen thinking as to why did she do that? And who is there? even if they had an inkling.}

The brothers share a look and see her walking away before looking down at the unconscious Katherine but what they did not notice was the figure in the couch behind them, which was invisible.

{Everyone shares a shocked look.}

Caroline explains to Carol what happened to Sarah, but she twists the truth.

Caroline: Matt and I were fighting, we broke up you know, and Sarah was drunk and dancing and she just tripped. And then she wasn't breathing.

Carol: Okay, your moms on her way and we called Sarah's parents. It was an accident. It was a terrible, tragic accident.

{" Thank you, Caroline..." said Tyler looking at her with a shy smile which she returned...}

Matt looked in between both of them weirdly.

Tyler: Mom, the sheriff's here.

Carol: I'll go prepare her, just don't leave. Just stay here okay? She's going to want to hear the story from you.

She leaves. Caroline is alone with Tyler.

Caroline: Matt's in the car, sleeping it off. I'll deal with him; I don't want him involved in any of this.

Tyler: What are you doing?

Caroline: I'm fixing a very bad situation.

{There was obviously some tension between Tyler and Caroline which everyone could see.}

Tyler: Why? I did this. I killed her.

Caroline: No, you didn't mean to and I think it's best for everyone...

Tyler: But she's dead! You don't know what that means.

Caroline: Actually, Tyler, I think I do.

Tyler: No, you don't, Caroline.

Caroline: Has your wound healed?

He checks his wound but realizes it has healed.

Tyler: How did you...?

{Caroline and Tyler share a look and Damon grumbled giving Caroline an annoyed look.}

In the trapped room

Damon and Stefan carry Katherine out of the room and as they leave the figure becomes visible and its Zara sitting elegantly on the couch with her legs crossed and a wine glass in her hands as she looks at them, sipping her wine slowly and gracefully.

{Everyone gasped in shock and outrage.}

Zara looks at the brothers and then around the room before chuckling...

Zara: Oh, my this is going to be so much fun.

{That chilling chuckle honestly sent shivers down their spine.}

Outside

Lucy is leaving. Bonnie runs after her.

Bonnie: Please, wait.

Lucy: Hey, I'm sorry about that spell. Damn vampires, they pull you into the middle of it every time.

{The vampires in the room looked a bit offended...}

Bonnie: How do I know you? When I gave you the stone, how did I know I could trust you?

Lucy: That feeling you got, you ever felt it before?

Bonnie: Being around family. My grams.

{Bonnie bit her lips controlling her tears from spilling at the reminder of her grams. As Caroline holds her hand and comforts her...}

Lucy: My mother is Joanna, first cousin twice removed from Pauline, niece of Sheila aka...

Bonnie: Grams? We are related.

Lucy smiles.

Lucy: Yeah, we kind of are. It's nice to meet you, Bonnie. Seeing you tonight was a wakeup call for me. I got to stop letting vampires control me. So, thank you for that.

{Bonnie smiles a bit at the screen...}

She leaves. Bonnie cries and runs after her.

Bonnie: Please, don't leave! I have so many questions. I don't want to be in the middle either. I hate it. How do I stay out of it?

{Elena turns to Bonnie who avoids her look and stares ahead...}

Lucy: Unlike me, you're one of the good ones, Bonnie. The middle of it is exactly where you need to be. You take care, Cuz. Don't worry, you'll see me again and you are the Chosen One. You will be safe. She will keep you safe. Don't Worry...

{" Okay enough. What does this mean? Chosen One? What is it? " Questioned Bonnie bit got no reply.}

Bonnie looked stunned at her words and kept looking at her in confusion.

Jeremy joins Bonnie.

Jeremy: Hey, I was gonna head home, can I offer you a ride? Are you okay?

Bonnie: When did you get your driver's license?

Jeremy: I'm not a kid anymore, Bonnie.

{Jenna narrowed her eyes on the screen and turned to Jeremy avoided her eyes.}

Bonnie: I'd love a ride home.

{Elena narrows her eyes at the screen seeing the chemistry, tension and looks shared in between her brother and Bonnie...}
