The Hybrid's Wife

Chapter 6: The Murder of One

Caroline: I don't know. I think she's quite nice.

Damon: Don't get too attached now. Remember who she's married to. Right then I come up from behind her. [Damon gets behind Caroline, grabs her arms, and puts them behind her back.] Grab her arms like this.

Caroline: Ow!

[Stefan comes up with the stake in his hand, imitating stabbing Caroline.]

Stefan: Gives me time for one shot.

[Damon lets go of Caroline.]

Stefan: Got it? Good. So we all have one stake, keep it hidden, and look out for any opportunity we have.

Damon: No last-minute attacks of pity for any of them. [Damon looks at Elena.]

Elena: Don't worry about me, not after what happened to Bonnie's mom.

Damon: Barbie? I know you like Ash a bit too much.

Caroline: No, I'm ready. Anything that will free Tyler from his sire bond to Klaus.

Damon: Busboy?

Matt: Do I have a choice?

Damon: Good point.

Stefan: We have 12 stakes, 12 shots at killing one Original. We can do this. Alright, let's try another scenario. Elena grabs a crossbow. [Stefan hands Elena the crossbow.] Matt, you play Klaus.

[Elena aims the crossbow.]

KLAUS' MANSION

[Klaus throws Finn into the foyer. Ash, Rebekah and Klaus follow.]

Rebekah: Gather your witch. Let's get his blood and get on with it.

Finn: You can't force me to help you.

Klaus: Oh, I most likely could-

Ash: But why force when we could persuade?

[Ash points her hand towards the staircase. Sage walks down the stairs. Finn looks at her.]

Sage: Hello Finn.

Finn: Sage!

[Sage smiles. Finn gets up and rushes over to her. They embrace.]

Rebekah: What do you know, true love prevails.

[Klaus receives a text from Kol saying "Let me know when I'm needed."]

Klaus: It does occasionally have its uses.

[Klaus writes back to Kol: "I will"]

Ash: Easier than torturing him.

Rebekah: I have something to do. What do you need from me for this spell?

Klaus: Just your blood and your blessing. Where are you two going?

Ash: We have some unfinished business with Damon Salvatore. Ask Sage what he did to Rebekah. Then you'll understand why retribution is in order.

[Ash and Rebekah leave. Klaus watches Finn and Sage.]

SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

[Damon places his white oak stake underneath a pile of firewood.]

Alaric: I mean, did you learn nothing from the moonstone in the soap dish?

Damon: Why? Where'd you put yours?

[They hear a noise from downstairs. Damon gets up.]

Damon: What the hell was that?

[Damon leaves the room and walks down the stairs. Suddenly, he sees Alaric get thrown down the stairs and falls to the floor.]
