Mariposa stepped on the limp body beneath her to further injure the vampire. She adjusted her ponytail in the mirror in front of her. Which started to fall out of the ponytail holder.

She moved her foot over Caroline's body when her appearance was to her liking. Mariposa freezes the lock as she exits the bathroom to ensure no one enters.

She pushed her way through a crowd of teenagers in a hallway. I got a lot of dirty looks from the teenagers who were pushed to the ground or into lockers.

She approaches the tall double doors that lead to the outside, but as she reaches to turn the knob, she is interrupted by a voice calling her name. "Mariposa!"

Once she realizes who the voice belongs to, her smile quickly turns into a frown. Gilbert, Elena Mariposa sighs and turns around to watch Bonnie, Stefan, and Elena approach her.

"I see your lapdogs are here; where is the other?" she asked, referring to the Salvatore she despises.

Elena's face scrunches up as she hears the sentence, choosing to ignore Mariposa's question, "Where have you been? You've been MIA since your mother's funeral."

Mariposa scoffs, "Well, excuse me for not wanting to interact with others after my only living relative died."

"Mariposa, you know she didn't mean it like that," Stefan said in defense of Elena.

Bonnie adds, "Yeah, she just wants to make sure you're okay."

"Do you ever get tired of coming to her offense?" snarled Mariposa, "She's old enough to handle herself and face reality?"

Elena's expression is depressed, even though she and Mariposa were having problems. They've never spoken to each other like Mariposa is talking to her "What's the matter with you? I understand you're in pain, but why are you being so impolite?"

"I'm not in any pain. Truly, I feel better than I have in years," Mariposa replied. "Tell me, Stefan, why did you fight so hard to keep your humanity.  This is perhaps the most blissful feeling."

"Your humanity off."

Mariposa applauded the broody vampire, "Bingo! I didn't want just say it out loud that'll ruin the surprise."

"Where's Caroline?"

Her brows knitted, "What does Blondie have to do with this?"

"When looking for her a cheerleader told us she went into the school with you-"

"and now knowing that my humanity is off you're worried I've hurt her?"
