"You trapped her in the house?" Stefan asked Damon and Aria in shock.

"Stefan trust me, it was for the best" Aria said.

"Aria's right, Elena's on a martyr tear that rivals your greatest hit" Damon said, "And let's not forget, if Klaus gets to know about your girlfriend's existence, then he will get to know of my girlfriend's existence, something I'm not willing to risk, plus you should be glad the witch and I are getting along".

"We brought you some things" Aria said, handing Stefan a bag, "It's got some candles, lanterns and some blood to stop your from desiccating".

"Give that to me, I'm just gonna have to share it with her" Stefan said, gesturing to Katherine, who was eavesdropping on the trio's conversation.

"I could knock her out with my magic" Aria suggested, glaring at Katherine.

"Rude" Katherine commented, "You know, you three are surprisingly calm considering Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan".

"I've been dead before, I got over it" Damon mocked.

"And I'm already dying, so I really don't care" Aria said, giving Katherine a mock smile, she then turned to Stefan, "While Bonnie's trying to deal with the moonstone, I'm going to find a way to get you out of here".

"Ah, don't worry about me" Stefan assured, "Just make sure your safe Aria".

Aria gave Stefan a small smile, "With two Salvatore's by my side, how can I ever be unsafe?".

Both Stefan and Damon chuckled, and Damon forwarded his hand for Aria, "Shall we?".

Aria nodded and placed her hand in Damon's, and after giving Stefan one last glance, the couple left the tomb.

Damon and Aria entered the Gilbert household, to see a sulking Elena sitting on the couch.

"You should really lock your door" Damon commented, Elena didn't say anything, simply ignored Damon, "Oh, come on pouty, least give me two points for ingenuity".

"How come you didn't trap Aria in the house as well?" Elena snapped, "Klaus is also coming for her".

"Because unlike you, I have no wish to hand myself over to Klaus" Aria replied.

Elena glared at Damon and Aria, both of them had amused expressions on their faces, they were enjoying this way too much, "Do you both think this is funny?".

"Yes, Elena" Aria said, "I find it so funny the lengths people go to save your life, yet you stay so ungrateful".

Elena scoffed, "What did Stefan say about this?".

"We had a good laugh" Damon replied.

"And what did he say about Elijah still being alive?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, that" Damon said, as Aria sat down next to Elena, "We didn't tell him".

"Why not?" Elena asked confused.
