Alaïa Gilbert //The Vampire Dairies

Stand By Me

Gilbert Residence

[ Alaia picks up a framed photo of her and Jeremy. The glass is broken; with an utterly detached expression, she touches the glass and a piece falls to the floor, shattering.]

Silas' Tomb

[Elena  finds Alaïa and Jeremy's body in the cave. She holds him in her arms, talking frantically and crying.]

Elena: Jeremy! Oh, no. No. No. Oh, god, no. Oh god...[she checks his hand; the Gilbert ring is still on his finger] It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. You're gonna be okay. The ring will bring you back. It's okay. It's okay. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay, Jeremy. You're gonna be fine.

[Stefan walks in and looks on in shock as he goes to Alaïa and bite his his wrist and feeds Alaïa his blood as she wakes up and see Elena holding Jeremy crying.]

Alaïa: what happened?

Stefan: Katherine woke up Silas and she forced Jeremy to give Silas his blood...Silas kill him.

Alaïa: [crying] no

Caroline is scrubbing the floor when the door opens and Elena walks in, Stefan behind her carrying Jeremy's body.]

Caroline: [standing] Hey, you're home. I was trying to clean the burn mark where Kol-- [She sees Stefan carrying Jeremy, his body wrapped in a blanket] I couldn't get the spot out.
[Stefan shakes his head a little at Caroline.]

Elena: Come on. Let's get him upstairs.

Gilbert Residence

[Stefan follows Elena and Alaïa while Caroline stands immobile, shocked. Upstairs, Stefan lays Jeremy on his bed. Elena and Alaïa sits down beside him and holds his hand.]

Stefan: Can I get you two anything?

Elena: No. We're fine.

Alaïa: We're just gonna sit here and wait with him until he wakes up. Let me know if you hear anything about Bonnie, okay?

Stefan: [nodding] Yeah, sure.

[ Alaia spreads a blanket over Jeremy and resumes holding his hands on top of his chest. Stefan leaves the room.]

[Elena and Alaïa are still sitting with Jeremy, Alaïa smoothing her hand over his face and holding his hands.]

Stefan nods but then Alaïa and Elena joins them in the kitchen.]

Alaïa: We're not in denial. [Stefan turns off the tap.] I know that he was supernatural, but did you see? His tattoo is gone. The tattoo had the spell that opened Silas' chamber. Maybe it being gone means that he's fulfilled his supernatural destiny. Maybe he's back to normal. It's possible, right?

Elena: Alaïa --

Alaïa: It's possible, Caroline. There's a chance. It may be miniscule, but it's hope and I'm gonna hold on to that hope with everything that I've got because there's no way that m-- [she pauses] There's absolutely no way that our brother is dead. [she nods and shakes her head a bit] I'm not in denial.

[She turns and leaves the kitchen. Elena, Caroline and Stefan share a look.]

[Alaïa is in her room removing her jacket when she sees her journal on her bed. She picks it up and walks over to Jeremy's room. She's looking at Jeremy lying on his bed when Meredith enters the room.]
