"Well, at least you'd have a place to live." I mocked, eating some fries.

Elena laughed and started throwing food at us, "You all suck."

"Now there it is, that smile. I wasn't sure we were gonna see that again." Alaric smiled at Elena.

"I did some pretty terrible things." She said, taking a deep breath.

"Hey, no. No tears. If Caroline was right, we only have until tonight. We need a no-crying rule." Jeremy replied.

"But the crying's good. It means that I'm finally feeling something, and right now I -- I feel happy." She smiled at us all. We all returned the smile.

I wished they didn't have to leave.

Elena's phone started ringing. She took it out her pocket and glanced over the screen, "It's the Grill, it must be Matt." She answered it, "Hey, you went AWOL this morning, what happened?"

"Hello, Elena. It's your dead friend, Connor. You remember me?" The voice said on the other end. My head shot up and I exchanged looks with Alaric and Jeremy.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"We want Silas, and we want the cure." Connor demanded.

"I don't know where they are, so I guess I can't help you." Elena replied.

"Huh. Well, you know who's gonna need some help? Grandma and Grandpa Jones, in town for the big high school graduation, along with Auntie Sue and Uncle Mark..."

Alaric stood up and motioned to Elena that he was going to do something about this. I stood up and followed him, "Hey, do you need a hand?"

"This guy is tricky. I'm already dead so he can't hurt me. You just make sure Elena stays safe." He replied. I nodded and walked back to Elena and Jeremy.

"Please, don't hurt anyone." Elena begged, "I'll find Silas and I'll get the cure."

"Good. Get it done." Connor replied. Elena put the phone down and looked up over to me, completely worried.

"Don't worry, Alaric will sort him out. Lets get you both back to the boarding house, okay?" I said. They nodded in response.

I was leaning against the doorframe, staring at the body on the living room floor. His name was Vaughn and apparently he was a dead vampire hunter everyone met in their search for the cure.

He was the one who had captured Damon and now he'd joined alliances with Connor. He also shot Damon in the neck, which brings me back to him being dead on the floor.

"So, the veil's down until tonight, he dies and goes to the Other Side, and then comes back here? How long does that take?" I asked Lexi. Stefan handed me a glass of blood that I downed.

"I have no idea." She replied, also taking a glass from Stefan.

"What, they don't give you a rulebook over there?" Stefan asked.

Lexi laughed, "You know, you two are missing your chance to weigh in on the Great Elena Gilbert Cure Debate."

Damon, Elena and Jeremy were upstairs. Damon was trying to get Elena to have the cure but she didn't want it.

"What am I supposed to do, tell her it's her choice? Because that worked out so well. You know, it's funny, those two are in there arguing about how to protect the world, and they have yet to address their biggest issue."
