Madeline Sage Saltzman, a vampire hunter and adoptive daughter of Alaric Saltzman, did not know what was in store for her when she entered Mystic Falls. Each passing day meant more potential dangers emerging. How will she handle it when she falls in...
Pietro found Damon picking down all the newspapers and knowledge he had up in his wardrobe to help him hunt for his brother and best friend.
"Mads called, Damon," Pietro said, provoking the blue-eyed vampire to freeze.
"Sure she did. What did she say?" Damon said, returning to his dreary task.
"She said nothing, but it was her," Pietro said, identifying the intensity in his gut was right. "I asked the sheriff if she could trace the call's origin. It came from Tennessee."

The trio plodded through the woodland, searching for Ray's crew. His current dead carcass was being transported by Stefan.

"I'm fine," Stefan responded, understanding Madeline didn't want to touch the corpse (and for good reason).
"Are you sure about that? We have been walking for quite some time." Klaus continued. Displeasing them had become his new diversion. "If you need some water or a little sit-down..."
