Based on season Four of TVD...
It began with the acknowledgement that everything for Ellie Gilbert has changed. She's in transition into a vampire. Into something she never wanted to be.
Stefan and Damon are torn even further apart over how to help...
Damon and the Hunter were in the woods and Damon was tied to a tree...
Damon groaned.
"Something bothering you?"
"Would you believe me if I said mosquitoes?" Damon asked.
"Aye, I would. How's it feel when an eating machine drains blood from your veins?"
"Itchy." Damon said.
"Your friends in Mystic Falls think you're funny, Damon?"
"You obviously know who I am and where I'm from. Have you been spying on me?" Asked Damon.
"Aye, I have. You and Stefan, Ellie. Your witch Bonnie. You need her to cast the spell written on your pal Jeremy's Hunter's Mark. The tattoo that looks exactly like this."
"You wanna know something, just ask." Damon said.
"I've been killing vampires my entire life. Still, this thing refused to reveal itself to me for no apparent reason."
"Come on, man. Do I look like I know about tattoos?" Asked Damon.
The man chuckled.
"Look at my skin. It's flawless."

"Ah. You're not taking me seriously. I don't blame you. You don't know me. Let me introduce myself."
He stuck a pipe into Damon's neck, and Damon groaned.
"My name is Galen Vaughn. And you better start talking."

With Stefan, Ellie, Elena, and Rebekah, they were back near the water where their boats were parked...
Elena rang Caroline.
Caroline: "Tell me you're not serious."
Elena: "I wish I weren't. When we got back from looking for Jeremy, Shane and Bonnie were both gone too. Shane needs Bonnie to cast a spell on Jeremy's tattoo in order to find the cure. And he managed to sneak them both out from right under our noses."
Caroline: "Where's Damon in all this?"
Elena: "We had an argument. I thought he was just taking a walk, but when we got to the beach... we saw signs of a struggle."
