Five days later.
Derek was rushing through the kitchen, setting the breakfast 表 when slow footsteps were heard on the stairs. Derek raced to the stairs and tried to help Damon keep his balance. Damon tried to push him away, but was too weak.
“I made breakfast” Derek said.
“Gee, thanks” Damon mumbled sarcastic. He shuffled to the 厨房 and fell down on a chair. He looked down at the 表 and picked up the blood bag. “This is breakfast?” he asked Derek.
“You have to drink it, Damon” Derek insisted. “It’s been five days. 你 will die if 你 don’t”
Damon shrugged. “Then...

“Goodnight!” Derek 说 as he entered his new bedroom.
Damon and Elena were standing with their backs to each other, getting undressed. Elena slowly rotated her head and peaked over her shoulder. Damon had taken of his 衬衫 and Elena swallowed. She’d never get used to that body. She shook her head and looked eyes front again. As she took out her 最佳, 返回页首 Damon slowly looked over his shoulder. She had laid her hair over her shoulder and he noticed she was wearing a dark purple bra. Damon imagined how he walked to her. He slowly went with his hand over her back and opened her bra. His fingers...

Caroline looked around in Bonnie’s room. “It’s all so…white” she 说 turning to Bonnie, who was sitting on the bed. “I can’t believe 你 signed up for this. And without telling me”
“I’m telling 你 now” Bonnie said, while she opened her suitcase. “Thanks for bringing my stuff. I wouldn’t know who else to bother” she added softly.
“It’s no bother” Caroline said, though she avoided to look at her. She walked to the window. “Wow! 你 have to see this view, it’s amazing” she said, looking at the garden.
“Yeah, I’ve seen it” Bonnie 说 a little absent-minded....

“Why exactly are we doing this?” Stefan asked Rebekah. They were standing in front of the Boarding House.
“Because I’m going to be part of your life now and I want to know everyone that’s important to you. Your brother is important to you, isn’t he?”
Stefan sighed. “Yes, he’s very important”
“Well, then get inside” Rebekah 说 and she opened the door, entering the house. “Hello?” An instant later a strong hand grabbed her throat and forced her against a wall.
“Who are you?” Damon asked threatening.
“Well, I guess 你 must be Damon” Rebekah 说 soft.
“Damon,...

Elena was standing in front of Damon’s porch. She felt how her 心 beat painful in her chest. She took a deep breath and knocked. Several times, but the door stayed shut.
“Okay, 你 know what, Damon? If 你 want to keep 表演 like a brat, fine! I’m going!” she yelled angry and she turned around.
The door opened and Damon walked out. “What do 你 want?”
Elena turned around again and walked back. She took his hands and looked him sharp in the eyes. “It wasn’t a moment of compassion” she began. “When 你 were dying and I kissed 你 I didn’t do it out of compassion. I don’t...

It was the 下一个 morning. Bonnie slowly opened her eyes. She saw a silhouette sitting 下一个 to her bed, but her view was too blurry to see who it was.
After a 分钟 或者 three the room became sharper and Bonnie could see who the visitor was. She looked Caroline afraid in the eyes.
“Hi” Caroline 说 soft.
“Hi” Bonnie 说 hoarse and shy. “How long have I been here?”
“About 24 hours” Caroline answered. Bonnie nodded. “How, eh, how’s Elena doing?...And Damon?” she asked careful.
“They’re okay, considering what happened” Caroline said. “They’re dealing with it”
Bonnie...

Once again Elena pulled Damon’s arm over her shoulder.
“I can walk myself now” Damon said, but Elena ignored him.
“You’re not strong enough yet” Elena said.
“Geez, Elena, just admit 你 can’t resist touching me” Damon joked. Elena’s cheeks turned red, but she recovered quickly.
“Good to know 你 can make jokes again” she said. They walked further.
“Can I ask 你 something?” Damon said. “How did 你 find me?”
“I had a dream” Elena began to explain. “In which your voice guided me to you…In my dream 你 died”
She paused to breath. Then she carried on. “Anyways,...

Alaric looked at his cell mate, who looked like he wanted to snap Ric like a twig, when he heard Damon talking to the police officer that had arrested him. They walked behind the corner in the direction of the cell. Halfway Damon stopped and stared in the police officers eyes. The man walked away and Damon walked to Alaric’s cell.
“Okay, stop laughing” Alaric said, seeing how the corners of Damon’s mouth started to tremble. “Seriously, stop laughing. It’s not funny”
Damon couched. “You’re right. It’s not”
“I take it everything’s okay with Elena?” Alaric tried to change...

Bonnie and Damon were walking down the path leading to the front door of the Salvatore Boarding House. Bonnie ironed her 衬衫 with her hands. “Listen, Damon, it took me a lot of work to make everyone satisfied with the situation. It wouldn’t do much good if 你 start spouting out the wrong things, 你 know what I mean? And Katherine doesn’t like me that much” she said. Damon looked at the sky. “Now, why would that be?” he 说 sarcastic. Bonnie knocked and five 秒 later the door was opened 由 Katherine. She flew in Damon’s arms. Bonnie pursed her lips and tapped her arm....

A few hours later.
Jeremy lied in his bed, his eyes squeezed. He would force himself to sleep. He had been running for hours, helped Alaric with some chores, cleaned up his room, and now he was really tired. Sleeping shouldn’t be a problem. He would give in to the night.
The windows swung open, the glass shattered and rained down on the floor. Jeremy raised up and crawled backwards against the head of his bed. He saw a pencil floating in the air, but knew either Vicky 或者 Anna was holding it. “What, you’re going to write ‘Don’t sleep’ on my wall? I have to sleep, I can’t fight...

Liz was standing in her office, her deputy’s surrounding her. She was briefing them about the murder last night. Caroline was standing outside, making sure her mother couldn’t see her, and kept her ears wide open.
“The boy’s name’s Derek Janders. He was Amber Lindy’s boyfriend. Amber’s the girl that lived there. According to Mrs. Lindy Amber had been 表演 off earlier that day. She came home, wrecked, like she was sexually assaulted. Mrs. Lindy insisted Amber to 报道 this, but Amber became aggressive and violent. She threw Mrs. Lindy on the ground and then basically robbed the...

Sheriff Forbes was standing above the corps lying in the shag. A rope was lying loosely around its cervix and he had two small holes in his neck. He was drained from blood. Liz let out a deep sigh and startled as her daughter appeared in front of her. “Caroline! You’re not supposed to be here, this is a crime scene” she 说 reproachful. Caroline didn’t react, but ducked to have a closer look at the corpse. “Vampires” she whispered. Liz nodded. “Yeah, I know” she said. “Caroline?” No answer. “Caroline” Liz now 说 a bit harder. Caroline looked up. “Caroline, I need...

“Veronica, wait up!” Jeremy yelled as Veronica opened the door of her car. She took a deep breath and tried to keep a straight face.
“What?”
Jeremy scratched the back of his head, searching for words. “Did 你 hear me talking inside? Because I was just talking to myself” he lied. He tried to read Veronica’s face to see if she was buying it.
“Of course 你 were” Veronica replied in a serious tone. She stepped in and after she inserted the key in the ignition she looked back at Jeremy. “You need a ride?” she offered.
“Actually, I was going…” Jeremy started, but Veronica...

Tyler left his house and saw Veronica standing on the doorstep. He was surprised to see her, but acted it was pleasant.
“Hey, I didn’t expect to see 你 here” he 说 as he walked to her. He gave her a 吻乐队（Kiss） on the lips and though she didn’t turn away, he could still feel her abstention. “Something wrong?” he asked suspicious.
Veronica didn’t answer.
“Walk with me?” she simply requested and she started walking, Tyler 下一个 to her. “I’ve been thinking” she started after a few 分钟 of quietly walking. “You’re a high school kid and I’m 23 years old and I know that’s...

Caroline was sitting at the bar in Mystic Grill, waiting for Derek. She had spotted him in the café a lot lately, but she had always thought he was just hanging around. Now she knew better. Derek didn’t just hang around. He kept his eyes and ears open to make sure he absorbed every important detail any of them 说 and then he’d hurry back to Veronica to spill the gossip.
The door opened and Derek appeared. He noticed Caroline at the bar and he sensed trouble, but as fast as he was, Caroline was faster. She grabbed his 领, 衣领 and forced him toward the men’s room.
“Hi, babe” a guy...

Elijah was looking around in the living room when Damon and Elena came downstairs. They’d hopped in the 淋浴 and hadn’t particularly hurried up. No, they hadn’t been doing it, but with Elena not feeling very well, the last thing they wanted was a showdown with a pair of Originals.
When they came downstairs, Katherine was already settled with a blood bag and Elijah checked Damon’s extensive book collection. As soon as Elijah lay eyes on Elena he raised an eyebrow.
“Forgive me for being blunt,” he said. “but 你 look rather unwell”
“That’s because she saw you” Damon replied...

Bonnie and Caroline were walking through the woods, heading for the witch cabin. Something about what Keith had 说 had made Bonnie think. At some point Veronica had believed Bonnie was still a threat, so why not give the girl reason to be threatened.
Bonnie entered the cabin, expecting Caroline to follow. When she didn’t Bonnie turned around. “What are 你 waiting for? Get in here”
Caroline pursed her lips. “Yeah” she 说 hesitant. “Damon told me what happened when he got in there, so, eh, I think I’m going to pass”
Bonnie rolled her eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous” she reproached...

Elena was lying on the couch, much to Damon’s discontent, while Meredith did some basic tests.
“How long have 你 been feeling like this?” she asked while she checked Elena’s eyes.
“Started this morning, when I woke up” Elena answered softly.
“And you’re having pain?” Meredith continued, checking Elena’s ears. “Where exactly?”
“My shoulders. My knees. My ankles. My hips” Elena summed up frowning, pausing after every joint she mentioned.
“Open your mouth” Meredith ordered and Elena obeyed. “Looks just fine” she mumbled and Elena closed her mouth again. “I’m...

Gabe’s body was lying on a 表 in the basement of the Salvatore Boarding House. Stefan was leaning 前锋, 期待 to get a closer look, when he heard a door open and close.
“I’m down here!” he yelled, before the visitor could call him. Rushing down the stairs and an instant later Tyler appeared. “Glad 你 could come so fast”
“You 说 it was important” Tyler replied scrupulously.
“It is” Stefan confirmed. He nodded at the body. “I need 你 to…sniff this one. I want to know who killed him”
“You want me to sniff him?” Tyler asked with raised eyebrows.
“Pretty much” Stefan...
