"It was bad. You know, John planted all these seeds about Isobel and now Jenna knows I'm lying about something." Alaric ranted as he paced in the empty classroom.

"John's going to end up dead on the kitchen floor if he's not careful." I mutter with crossed arms as I sit in Alaric's chair, Elena leaning against the desk.

"Yeah, well, easier said than done. I gave him back his ring so..." Alaric held up his hand to show he didn't have the ring anymore and Elena and I gave him a shocked expression.

"Look, Jenna keeps asking about Isobel. You know, was she murdered? Why haven't they found the body? I mean, how much longer can she stay in the dark?"

"You think we should tell her the truth?" Elena questions.

"I'm saying I can't be with her and not tell her. It's not fair to her, and it's not the kind of relationship I want." Alaric said truthfully.

"Not to mention it's becoming more dangerous for her not to know" I point out.

Elena sighed "I just thought that we'd at least hold off until after we've dealt with Klaus. You know, and even then, how do we tell someone what we know? How does someone hear that?"

Alaric approached us "Look, I'm sorry to put this on you. But I feel it's your decision to make. And whatever you decide to do, I'll respect it. I want to be honest with her. But until then, Jenna and I are done."

I went with Bonnie and Stefan after school to the grill, so we could speak to Jonas and Luka. Stefan thought if I was there, being a human, it would show a more united front, humans, witches, and vampires together. Hopefully it will work.

"Thank you for coming," Stefan said once Jonas and Luka joined us.

"I didn't want to but my son made a case to hear you out."

"Bonnie said that you have information about Elijah." Luka informed as they both sat down.

Stefan and I glanced at Bonnie who wouldn't meet Luka in the eye.

I licked my lips anxiously as I answered "Elijah's dead. I'm sorry".

Jonas and Luka look at Bonnie and Jonas gets up but Stefan grabs his shoulder stopping him.

"Hear me out. We can help you."

"We know that Klaus has your daughter. I'm sorry about the way I had to get that information, but it's good that we know. We can all work together to get her back." Bonnie said, apologizing to Luka.

"How?" Luka asked.

I quickly explained "We suspect that you and Elijah had a plan to kill Klaus. Let us help you carry it out. You can trust us. I give you my word. We all do"

It took some time, but Jonas told us what Elijah's plan was, which was if a witch could channel enough power they wouldn't need a weapon. But they also needed to find the site of the witches massacre.

"Elijah wanted to know the site of the massacre." Damon explained to Katherine when Stefan and I walked in.

"What was he going to do when he found it?"

"I don't know. What did papa witch and baby witch have to say?" Damon called out to us knowing we were here.

"Why the hell isn't she gone or dead yet?" I questioned crossing my arms at Katherine.

"For the last time, I'm here to help." Katherine said irritated. "Can we skip the secrets, hmm?"

I motioned a hand forward for Stefan who walked to them and explained what we learned, "Elijah had no weapon to kill Klaus but he believed that if a witch could channel enough power...They wouldn't need one."

"Like the power you get from a spot marked with a hundred dead witches?" Damon questioned.

I nod at Damon as I lean against the support beam "Yup, all We have to do is find it."
