"How could you?" Stefan shouts, "this whole time you were here, with us, and you didn't think to mention Grace?"
"What difference would it have made?" Damon asks standing up, "it's not like she would have wanted anything to do us anyway!"

"You left our sister to be tortured!" Shouts Stefan pushing Damon again, "you left her to burn alive and never thought to tell any of us!"

"No I didn't!" Damon shouts shoving Stefan again, "She didn't want anything to do with me while we were in there! She would have done the same thing and you know it!"

"Guys," Elena says stepping in between them, "she isn't worth it." Is she kidding me? If Elijah wasn't here I would have ripped her throat out.

"Seriously?" Exclaims Caroline.

"They are family Elena," Bonnie says very calm yet firm, "you should stay out of this.

"No!" Shouts Elena, "she just shows up and expects everyone to listen to whatever she says! She isn't worth fighting over!"
"You done yet?" I speak up stepping close to Elena.

"No I am not actually," Elena folds her arms.

"Ohh no," I shake my head, "you are done," I go to grab her.

"Grace, remember I need her in one piece," Elijah says sternly gripping my arm, "now, as I promised Elena, I will make sure no harm will come to the ones she loves, that includes harm from each other."

Stefan shoves Damon again before holding his arms up in mock surrender, "fine."
"Now, I am going to give you all fair warning," Elijah begins.
"About what?" Bonnie speaks up.
"With my death undoing Graces compulsion it also reseated Katerina's."
I don't understand
"You're joking," Stefan says.
"She's out." Elijah nods, "although I don't think she will get very far with Niklaus surely on his way."
Damon kicks a foot stool which splinters when it comes in contact with the wall making Elena and Bonnie flinch.
"I don't want Niklaus gaining more power," Elijah announces, everyone looks at him surprised, including me.
"He destroyed my family, he doesn't deserve to make a new one of hybrids," Elijah continues, "it's no secret you want to stop him, I want to help."
No one speaks for a moment.
"On one condition," he adds.
"What do you want?" Asks Stefan clearly annoyed yet intrigued.
"An apology," Elijah finishes.
Stefan does a double take.
"A-a what?" Stutters Damon.
"Apology, it is clearly in order since you staked me," Elijah points out.
Stefan and Damon look at each other then back at Elijah.
"I'm sorry for the part I played in your death," says Stefan reluctantly, "I was protecting Elena, I will always protect Elena."
"I understand," Elijah says calmly and they turn to Damon who is staring in disgust.
"So we are going to trust him now?" Damon says pissed off.
"I do," says Elena.
"Me too," I answer.
"You can all go to hell," Damon mutters and leaves the room shoving me on his way past with his shoulder.
