Miss Gibbon's Residence
Anna is going down the stairs,"Hey Bethanne. What are you guys watching? You guys have been watching the same thing the whole time? There are over one hundred and fifty channels. This button changes the channel. Hold it like this."
Anna goes into the dining room and finds Fredrick feeding on Miss Gibbons.
Miss Gibbons:"Did you get enough sweetheart?"
Fredrick:"For now."
Miss Gibbons:"Anna, are you hungry? Did you want a little?"
Anna:"No, thank you Miss Gibbons. Why don't you lie down for a while and get some rest?"
Fredrick:"She's fine. Aren't you Miss Gibbons?"
Fredrick compels Miss Gibbons.
Miss Gibbons:"Of course I am. I'm fine."
Miss Gibbons is leaving. Anna and Fredrick exchange looks.

Donovan Residence
Jace:"Hey mom! Mom?"
Jace is knocking on his mother's room door.
Jace:"Hey mom?"
Kelly opens the door,"What? I'm trying to sleep."
Jace:"I was just making sure that you were alive."
Kelly:"I'm sorry sweetie. It was a late night. My head is throbbing."
Jace:"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't bring the party home. And I'm pretty sure the neighbors would appreciate it too."
Kelly:"It wasn't a party, it was one guy, don't be so judgy."
Jace:" Well, I talked to Roberta at the grill and there's still a bar tending position open if you want to...get a job."
Kelly:"I figured she'd be pissed about that time I worked there."
Jace:" I think she's desperate."
Kelly:"I'll check it out."
Jace:"Yeah?"
Kelly:"Don't act so surprised."
Jace:"Well, I mean...I didn't know how long you planned on sticking around."
Kelly:"Well, there's back rent due."
Jace:"There's back everything mom."
Kelly:"Like I said, I'll check it out."
Someone is knocking on the door.
Kelly:"Who's that?"
Jace:"It's Elena."
Kelly is making a face.
Jace:"Easy."
Kelly raised her eyebrows.
Jace:"Yeah come in!"
Elena opens the door and enters the kitchen.
Elena:"Hi Mrs. Donovan."
Kelly gets up and leaves the room.
Jace:"Hey, ok. Well we're going to be late. So let's get going."
Jace is going towards Elena
Elena:"Yeah."
Jace:"Hey."
Elena:"Hey."
Jace:"How are you?"
Elena:"Good."

Stefan:"Damon hasn't said a word to me

Stefan:"Damon hasn't said a word to me. Every time I try to talk to him he shuts me down."
Nevaeh:"Do you think he's still trying to find Isabela?"
Stefan:"I don't know. He waited a hundred and forty five years only to find out that Isabela could not care less. I mean it's gotta hurt, right?"
Nevaeh:"And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy?"
Stefan:"You have every reason to be upset with him. Have you thought any more about what you're going to do?"
Nevaeh:"About what? Amelia, my vampire birth mother, who's related to my vampire ancestor Isabela, who screwed over your vampire brother? Nah...I haven't thought about it at all."
Stefan:"I'm sorry I brought it up."
Nevaeh:"It'd just be nice if we could get through one day without having to deal with any of it. No vampire mother or brother."
Stefan:"No vampires at all?"
Nevaeh:"No vampires but you. I just want to get us back to normal stuff like school and homework and here's a thought: fun."
Stefan:"Ooh, that sounds good to me, when do we start?"
We laughed and leave.

Jace:"We can watch a movie at my place."
Elena:"With your mom and a six pack?"
Jace:"You know...you don't really help the situation. You could at least try to be nice."
Elena:"Oh...I'm sorry. It's hard for me to show kindness to people that hate me. I'm not that evolved."
Jace raises his head and looks at Nevaeh and Stefan. They kiss each other. Elena turns her head and looks at them too. And turns her head back to look at Jace.
Elena:"So, a movie tonight?"
Jace:"Wherever you want to do it's good for me but I'm late and I got to go ok?"
Elena:"Ok."
She moves in for a kiss but he leaves.

Miss Gibbons Residence
Pearl:"The keypad is for texting which is what you do when you want to avoid talking to someone."
Harper pushes a button and we can hear a message from Jeremy. Anna rushes towards the phone.
Harper:"I didn't break it, I swear."
Pearl:"I was just showing Harper what you showed me. What a marvelous device!"
Harper:"Who was that?"
Anna:"Jeremy Gilbert."
Harper:"Is he your boyfriend?"
Pearl:"Of course not." She gets up and looks at Anna. "What do you think?"
Anna:"Very respectable."
Pearl:"That's the goal. I can't say I miss the corsets."
Anna:"Susie Sunshine gave me her car keys and her ATM card."
Pearl:"What's that?"
Anna:"I'll explain later."
Fredrick wits outside the room. Anna and Pearl leaves the room.
Fredrick:"Where are you going?"
Pearl:"We have some business in town. We'll be back as soon as we can. I trust that you'll keep an eye on things."
Fredrick:"So, I'm a babysitter now?"
Pearl:"Fredrick, if this is going to work we have to cooperate with one another."
Fredrick:"So you saying..."
Harper:"I'll watch things Miss Pearl."
Pearl:"Thank you Harper."
Anna and Pearl leaves the room. Harper and Fredrick exchange looks.

Mystic Falls High School
Elena:"I'm thinking nothing huge, just a dinner at the grill maybe a late movie."
Stefan:"You mean like a double date?"
Elena:"Two pair out on a Friday night coupled. Yeah double date."
Nevaeh:"Do you think that's a good idea?"
Elena:"Why not? We haven't gone out together before and I don't want it to be uncomfortable for us. Look the couple dynamics have changed and there's been a little awkwardness between you, Jace, and me and I just think it's important that we get over it."
Nevaeh:" I don't know."
Stefan:"I think that sounds like a great idea."
Nevaeh:"You do?" I looked up at my boyfriend.
Stefan:"Yeah. A nice evening out with friends. Sounds fun, as in "fun"."
Nevaeh:"A double date, it is."
Elena:"Ok. So, we will see you tonight."
Nevaeh:"Ok."
Elena walks away, and I looked up at Stefan.
Nevaeh:"Ok."

Salvatore Boarding House
Damon enters the house. Anna and Pearl are waiting for him.
Pearl:"Hello Damon."
Damon:"Ever heard of knocking?"
Pearl:"An invitation wasn't necessary. I'm surprised that no living person resides here. Is it just you and your brother?"
Anna:"Yeah. How do you keep out unwelcome vampires?"
Damon:"I kill them."
Damon runs towards Pearl and tries to strangle her. Pearl twists his wrist and pushes him to the floor.
Pearl:"Have a seat, Damon. I was hoping we could have a word."
Damon:"Sure."

Somewhere in England

Rebekah:"Coming Nik!" She closes her computer and walked out of her room.
(A.N: Rebekah won't be dagger in this book, I hope you like my story so far)

Salvatore Boarding House
Pearl:"We've taken up residence at the farmhouse just outside the town. It'll suffice for now."
Damon:"All 25 vampires?"
Pearl:"Not all, some. I imagine that a few have already left town. Other are probably still in the woods or like us acclimating."
Damon looks at Pearl and Anna,"How did they get out of the tomb?"
Pearl:"I think the witch screwed up that part of her hocus pocus."
Pearl:"I understand from Anna that the founding families still have a secret council?"
Anna:"And you're a part of it."
Damon:"That's ridiculous."
Anna:"I've been in Mystic Falls since the comet, Damon. I'm up to speed."
Pearl:"And so am I. And now that you've infiltrated the council, I'll need to know everything they know. Starting with a list of names of all the council members and their families."
Anna:"And everyone you've supplied vervain."
Pearl:"Yes, that will have to stop immediately."
Damon:"What exactly are you trying to achieve?"
Pearl:"Mystic Falls is our home, Damon. They took that away from us. Our land, our home. It's time we rebuild."
Damon:"What, are you crazy? It was 1864. Wake up woman. The world has moved on."
Pearl:"As a reward for your help I'm willing to give you what you want the most."
Damon:"I want nothing."
Pearl:"Isabela."
Damon:"You wouldn't even know where she was. You've been under the ground for the last century in a half."
Pearl:"Isabela and I were best friends long before we came to Mystic Falls, Damon. I know how she thinks, I know her patterns, I know where to find her."
Damon:"I no longer have any desire to see Isabela ever again. And there's no way in hell I'm gonna play the role of your little minion."
Pearl gets up and pushes Damon on the couch.
Pearl:"I'm not asking for your help, Damon. Finding Isabela was just a mere gesture of kindness. The rest is non-negotiable."
She puts her fingers in Damon's eyes and pushes him on the floor.
Pearl:"I have four hundred years on you, little boy. I'll rip you from limb to limb without even blinking and you know it. I'll be in touch."
Pearl and Anna leaves the house.
