Stiles POV

I woke up to Stefan banging about in his room doing god knows what so I decided I should get up myself.

Once I was ready, I grabbed a vial of vervain, before making my way downstairs into the living room, to find Damon and Stefan stood next to a shuck-up Caroline.

"What's wrong with her" I nodded at Caroline, confused.

"Go ahead. Tell them" Damon told her before looking at me and Stefan; who like me, was confused. "You're going to love this" He handed Caroline a glass of blood.

Blood.

I walked over to where there was half a blood bag on the bar, and poured it into a glass for myself, adding a bit of vervain.

"I saw Katherine today" Caroline started as I sat on the couch. "Where?" Stefan asked.

"At the grill. I just stopped by to gawk and... quasi-stalk Matt" She started telling us how Matt noticed her stalking him so he asked if she needed a table, so she made out she needed the toilet.

"Quit the teen drama" I interrupted.

"So I had to pretend to use the bathroom even though I didn't really have to go because I'm a doofus... I was washing my hands when she came in. I acted as if I thought she was Elena. I tried to make a quick escape but she stopped me... She asked me to deliver a message"

I looked at Caroline raising my eyebrows. "What was the message?" I asked her.

"Tell Damon, Stiles, and Stefan that I want the moonstone or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood... Tonight at the masquerade ball"

"She wants to do it in public, what you did to Mason threw her off guard," Stefan told us crossing his arms over his chest.

"She's running scared. What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks" Damon told us.

"Well I say we go to this masquerade ball, and kill the bitch once and for all," I told them having a drink of the blood and started coughing.

The three of them looked at me. "Don't worry. Just a bit of vervain" I coughed. I can't wait until I build up a tolerance to this.

"Can't we just give her the moonstone so she'll leave?" Caroline asked once I stopped coughing.

"No, Katherine's getting nothing. I'm going to rip her spine out and shove it down her throat" I told her.

"You're not going to kill her," Stefan told me, sending me a glare. "Don't give us any of that goody, goody crap" Damon told him.

"You're not going to kill her because I am," Stefan told us with a smile on his face. "We do it together" Damon smirked.

We called the Scooby gang – Bonnie, Jeremy, and Ric to come over, so we could come up with a plan.

"What's going on?" Bonnie asked, finally joining us. "We're gonna kill Katherine," Jeremy told her, making her look at the rest of us confused.

"Correction. I'm gonna kill Katherine" I told her before Ric started showing us his weapons. "This works with compressed air. The trigger..." I blanked out whatever he was yammering on about.

I knew how I was gonna kill her. I didn't need any of his weapons. A stake in the heart. Or I could just rip her heart out.

Either one suits me fine.

We planned to have Bonnie isolate Katherine in a room, away from everyone else so me, Damon and Stefan could kill her.

"Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Ric asked. "No, I need you to stay with Elena. I don't want her to know about this" Stefan told him.
