The scan showed nothing at all medically wrong with him so we were getting ready to leave.
"Meredith says that everything is normal." I tell him if only to calm him.
"Yeah, well, everything is normal, because there is nothing wrong with me. I didn't kill Brian Walters, I didn't kill Bill Forbes, and I sure as hell didn't shove a hunting knife into my stomach." Alaric looks down at the ring, which is the only thing he hasn't picked back up yet from his stuff.
"Or I did and I've gone insane, just like your ancestor who wore that ring."
Elena sighs. "Look, I'm gonna call Bonnie, the rings were made by a Bennett witch so maybe a witch can reverse the damage." Alaric pushes the ring towards us.
"Take it. I don't want it any more." I took the ring hesitantly and slipped it in my pocket. Ain't no way I'm putting it on.
"You ready to ditch this House of Horrors?” Damon asked when he entered the room. “Oof, you look terrible."
Alaric nods. "Yeah, let me...let me check outta here."
Elena gave Damon a hateful look and stormed out, and I did not want to get in the middle of that so I followed after Ric. “Can we get out of here? Now.”
Alaric nodded and gave the nurse his stack of papers. “Yes please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alaric pushes a pad of paper with writing on it towards Elena and I.
"Listen, I want you to have this. This is a list of my bank accounts, passwords, where to find my will, and how to contact my family, just in case this doesn't go my way."
“Oh no,” I object and push the pad back over to him.
"No, no, no. Don't even think like that."
"Girls, I need to know that you and Jeremy are gonna be okay.”
"We're all gonna be fine." I assure him. "I'm the oldest-"
"By a few minutes." Elena coughed into her palm which earned her a side eye.
"Anyway. If anything happens I can take care of them, I have the means and I have the money. Plus I’ve taken care of myself and my brothers for years.”
Elena's phone rings, she answers it, walking to the kitchen. "Caroline?"
Alaric and I continue our talk. "What about you? Yes I know you technically own a multi-million dollar mansion and you inherited half of Zachariah Salvatores' will but what about you?" I sigh and give him my best smile.
"Alaric, I can take care of myself. You taught me everything I need to know.”
"Good news? Bad news?" I ask when Elena walks back over.
"Bonnie thinks that she can help you with a spell."
Alaric nods. "Well, it's worth a try."
Elena sighs again. "But she needs something that you wore before you put on the ring. Something personal." Meredith, who was in the kitchen making food, came back in.
"Well, there's uh- there's my wedding ring. It's at the loft."
Elena nods. "Okay, yeah, uh- that's a...that's a good idea."
Alaric starts to get up, but Meredith pushes him back down. "I think it's better if you stay here with me." I nod, "I'll stay too.”
Alaric chuckles. "Oh, you and your tranquilizers and you with your arrows." He says to the both of us. Meredith brought tranquilizers in case Alaric went alter-ego and I brought my weapons just in case. Hopefully we don't have to use any of it.
"It's in the dresser by the kitchen. It's in a...an aspirin bottle, probably covered in cobwebs."
Elena nods and grabs her car keys. "Okay.”
