*Motel Room,Elena groggily awakens. She spots Ben sitting in a chair by the end of the bed, sleeping. She gasps and sits up frantically. Elena looks around for a way out and stares at the front door. She looks from Ben to the door, estimating if she can make it without waking him. Quietly, Elena slides off the bed and slowly steps over Ben's outstretched leg. She slowly backs up to the door, keeping an eye on Ben. Elena unlocks the deadbolt on the door, looking back at Ben occasionally. Elena turns the lock on the door and prepares to open it.*
Ben McKittrick: I wouldn't.(Elena gasps and spins around. Ben inches towards Elena and uses his compulsion on her.)
Ben McKittrick: Don't try to escape. Don't even move. Do you understand?
Elena: I understand.(Ben scoffs and turns around to get a bottle of blood out of the mini fridge. Elena opens the front door and bolts out, but Anna blocks her escape. Anna grabs Elena by the hair and pushes her back into the motel room.)
Anna: Seriously?!
Ben McKittrick: I told her not to move! I did that eye thing that you taught me!
Anna: And forgot the lesson about vervain! She dates a vampire, Ben. Duh!(Anna pushes Elena up against a wall and opens the bathroom door.)
Elena: Who are you? What do you want?
Anna: Does it matter?(Anna forcefully pushes Elena into the bathroom and shuts the door. Elena flips the light switch and calmly searches the room for another exit. Elena looks over towards the bathtub and sees Bonnie lying in it, unconscious. Elena rushes over to her)
Elena: Bonnie? (Lifts Bonnie's head up) Oh my god!(she starts to think the worst so she checks for a pulse and she has one,she sighs in relief)

*Salvatore Boarding House,Damon is in the study, reading through Emily's grimoire. Stefan enters the room with an anxious look on his face. Damon does not look up at him.*
Stefan: Anna took Elena.
Damon: Yeah, I got that from your 600 voice mails.(Stefan strides across the room towards Damon.)
Stefan: Damon, all night long, every single street in town, I've been searching. What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?
Damon: Well, then at least you know you'll see her again.
Stefan:Please. (Stefan sits down on the sofa, next to Damon.)What do you know? You were with Anna, you must know where's she living. Just tell me where I can find her.
Damon: (looks up at Stefan)Nope. You can go. Really.
Stefan: You know, all I can remember is hating you. There might have been a time when that was different, but your choices have erased anything good about you.(Damon lays the grimoire down and gives his attention to Stefan.) But see, I also know you have just as much reason to hate me. This all began with me. Katherine got taken away from you because of me. And I'm sorry.
Damon: Apology accepted.
Stefan: So please, just tell me what you know.
Damon: Huh.
Stefan: (pleading) It's Elena,Damon. If you know something, tell me.(Damon stands up and Stefan mimics him, looking at Damon with anxiety.)
Damon: I mean this sincerely. (Stefan nods, anticipating his answer.)I hope Elena dies.(Damon walks past Stefan.)
Stefan: Is Aria here?
Damon: why do you care?
Stefan: because I know she would help me.
Damon: not saying and don't try to call her because,(he shows him her phone) I have her phone.
Stefan: what would Aria say if she finds out you let her sister die!
Damon: she will see her again,Elena still has my blood in her.(he then leaves the room)

*Motel Room,Elena wets a cloth in the sink and places it on Bonnie's forehead. Bonnie slowly opens her eyes.*
Elena: Bonnie?
Bonnie: Elena?
Elena: Oh, you're okay!
Bonnie: My head...
Elena: Come here.(Elena pulls Bonnie upright.)
Bonnie: Oh my god! Ben is a-!
Elena: Shhhh.(Elena gestures at her ear and points toward the door.)They can hear.(Elena gets up and turns on the tap. She kneels back down next to Bonnie.)
Bonnie: I'm so stupid!
Elena: No, he had all of us fooled!
Bonnie: What's going on? Why are we here?
Elena: It must have something to do with the tomb and Emily's spell book.
Bonnie: Spell book?
Elena: Damon said it could be used to open the tomb.
Bonnie: Why didn't I know about any of this?
Elena: I was trying to keep you out of it, hoping it would never come to this.
Bonnie: Come to what?
Elena: They need a witch to break the spell and let the vampires out.
Bonnie: No way!
Elena: I know.(Ben bursts through the door. Elena grabs Bonnie's shoulders protectively and pulls her behind her. Ben turns the tap off.)
Bonnie: You're wasting your time. I'm not gonna help you.(Ben smiles devilishly and grabs Elena. Bonnie reaches out to try to pull them back, but Ben manages to pull Elena away from her.)
Ben McKittrick: That's why they are here. Motivation for you to behave. You know, you shouldn't be so desperate. You made it too easy.(Ben pushes Elena out of the room, roughly. Bonnie gets up from the tub. Ben shuts the bathroom door.)
Ben McKittrick: She wants to talk to you .(Elena stumbles into the motel room. Anna leans against a table, looking at Elena )
Anna: Well, well. Elena Gilbert. You really are Katherine's doppelgänger. You must have the Salvatore boys reeling.
Elena: Who are you?
Anna: Am Anna,your sister and brother may have mentioned me. (says with girlish sarcasm) I mean,  me and Aria are like, practically dating.
