Marley and the others were in school, Stefan kept her in the loop of Damon. “Damon hasn't said a word to me. Every time I try to talk to him he shuts me down.” Stefan told them.
Elena glanced at him. “Do you think he's still trying to find Katherine?”
Marley snored. “I think he does.”
“I don't know. He waited a hundred and forty five years only to find out that Katherine could not care less. I mean it's gotta hurt, right?” Stefan asked.
“Yeah.” Marley nodded.
Elena sighed. “And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.”
“Indeed.” Marley nodded again.
Stefan looked at Elena. “You have every reason to be upset with him. Have you thought any more about what you're going to do?”
“About what? Isobel, my vampire birth mother, who's related to my vampire ancestor Katherine, who screwed over your vampire brother? Nah...I haven't thought about it at all.” Elena was sarcastic at the end.
Stefan looked guilty. “I'm sorry I brought it up.”
“It'd just be nice if we could get through one day without having to deal with any of it. No vampire mother or brother.” Elena told him as Marley rolled with her eyes.
Stefan raised an eyebrow. “No vampires at all?”
“No, vampires, but you. I just want to get us back to normal stuff like school and homework and here's a thought: fun.” Elena replied to him.
“Ooh, that sounds good to me, when do we start?” Stefan asked to her as they laughed and leave. Marley stayed behind, sighing.
-------------------------
After school, Marley went to see Damon. She saw him just outside of the house. “Damon.” She called him.
Damon turned to see her. “Here to lecture me?” He asked.
Marley blinked. ‘”What?! No, you just lost someone.” She replied. “She doesn’t want to be found.”
Damon scoffed. “Why would you say that?”
“You have waited for her and she wasn’t there. So you are hurt and she doesn’t want to be found.” Marley replied to him.
“Huh.” Damon comment. “Why don’t you just go home, huh. I know you only helped me with Katherine.”
“Yeah, that was in the beginning, but now, I see you as my friend and that’s what you need right now, not another enemy.” Marley almost hissed.
Damon walked towards her. “I don’t believe you.”
“Every word I said to you is the truth.” Marley told him.
“Prove it.” Damon demanded her.
“I can find her, I can find Katherine.” Marley blurted out.
“How?” Damon asked. “Why?”
“Like i said, you are my friend.” Marley replied to him.
“Why?” Damon asked.
“To give you closer.” Marley replied, looking at him.
Damon nodded. “Okay.”
“But I need something of her.” Marley told him.
“Well, come inside.” Damon told her. “I can give it to you then.”
“Okay.” Marley nodded.
------------------
Damon and Marley entered the house. Anna and Pearl were waiting for Damon. “Hello Damon.” Pearl greeted him. Then she looked at Marley. “I didn’t know you brought someone.”
“Ever hear of knocking?” Damon snarled.
Pearl looked at him. “An invitation wasn't necessary. I'm surprised that no living person resides here. Is it just you and your brother?”
“Yeah. How do you keep out unwelcome vampires?” Anna added.
“I kill them.” Damon runs towards Pearl and tried to strangle her.
Pearl twisted his wrist and pushed him to the floor. “Have a seat, Damon. I was hoping we could have a word.”
Marley walked forward as Anna noticed this. “I wouldn’t try anything.” She warned her.
“You shouldn’t try anything, cause you don’t know a thing about me.” Marley hissed.
Damon looked at her as if he knew what she wanted to do and held his hand up, looking back at Pearl. “Sure.”
Then, they all seated as Pearl spoke up. “We've taken up residence at a farmhouse just outside the town. It'll suffice for now.”
“All 25 vampires?” Damon asked.
“Not all, some.” Pearl shook with her head. “I imagine that a few have already left town. Others are probably still in the woods or like us acclimating.”
Damon looked at Pearl and Anna. “How did they get out of the tomb?”
“I think the witch screwed up that part of her hocus pocus.” Anna replied.
“Watch it.” Marley snarled.
Pearl looked at Damon, ignoring Marley. “I understand from Anna that the founding families still have a secret council?”
“And you're a part of it.” Anna added.
“That's ridiculous.” Damon snored.
“I've been in Mystic Falls since the comet, Damon. I'm up to speed.” Anna told him.
“That’s nice for you.” Marley muttered.
“And so am I.” Pearl added as Marley rolled with her eyes. “And now that you've infiltrated the council, I'll need to know everything they know. Starting with a listing names of all the council members and their families.”
“And everyone you've supplied with vervain.” Anna continued.
Pearl nodded. “Yes, that will have to stop immediately.”
“What exactly are you trying to achieve?” Damon asked.
“Mystic Falls is our home, Damon. They took that from us. Our land, our home. It's time we rebuild.” Pearl replied.
“What, are you crazy? It was 1864. Wake up woman. The world has moved on.” Damon comment.
“As a reward for your help I'm willing to give you what you want most.” Pearl told him.
Damon looked at her. “I want nothing.”
“Katherine.” Pearl told him.
Damon glanced at Marley. “You wouldn't even know where she was. You've been under the ground for the last century and a half.”
“Katherine and I were best friends long before we came to Mystic Falls, Damon. I know how she thinks, I know her patterns, I know where to find her.” Pearl told him.
“I no longer have any desire to see Katherine ever again. And there's no way in hell I'm gonna play the role of your little minion.” Damon comment.
Pearl got up and pushed Damon on the couch. “I'm not asking for your help, Damon. Finding Katherine was just a mere gesture of kindness. The rest is non-negotiable.” She put her fingers in Damon's eyes and pushed him on the floor. “I have four hundred years on you, little boy. I'll rip you from limb to limb without even blinking and you know it. I'll be in touch.” Then, Pearl and Anna leave the house.
--------------------
When they were out of earshot, Marley went over to Damon as she put her hands on his eyes, healing it much faster than his vampire healing. When it was healed, Damon looked at her. “Why did you heal me?”
“Because Pearl is a bitch and you didn’t deserve that.” Marley replied. “Besides, I can find Katherine and you know it.”
“I know.” Damon stood up. “I will show you what is from her.”
“Lead the way.” Marley gestured.
----------------
Damon showed her a piece of fabric. “This is from Katherine.” He looked at her. “How are you going to find her?”
“With shadowhunter tracking.” Marley grabbed it. “I will let you know, when I found her, but do you want to see her or just that I find her?”
Damon sighed. “I don’t know.”
“Its okay, Damon.” Marley reassured him.
Damon nodded. “You are the first one to call me friend.”
“I’m not the last one.” Marley told him. “You have a good side that I see through you.”
Damon was speechless after that.
---------------
Later, Damon was in the living room. Marley was pacing. Stefan arrived and looked at Damon. Damon noticed. “Don't look at me like that.”
“Are you crazy?” Stefan asked.
“When is he not.” Marley muttered.
“Save the lecture. Look...” Damon was interrupted.
Suddenly, Frederick jumped through the window, jumped on Stefan and stabbed him with a piece of glass. Damon pushed him off Stefan and started to fight with Frederick. Stefan removed the piece of glass. Marley sighed as Bethanne arrived and began to fight with Stefan. She pushed him to the floor, he took the leg off a wooden chair and stabbed her in the heart. Damon send Frederick across the living room. Frederick looked at Damon, Marley and Stefan and then looked at Bethanne, who was dead. He leaves. Stefan looked at Damon. Marley muttered. “Huh, Wtf.”
“Damn it.” Damon comment.
Stefan looked at his brother. “I remember them from 1864. They were in the tomb.”
“Yeah...About that.” Damon comment. They looked at each other.
--------------------
Damon was dragging Bethanne's body into the fireplace. “Could you help me out a little bit?” He asked to Stefan and Marley.
“Its nice that you asked nicely.” Marley waved with her hand and Bethanne’s body went into the fireplace. “That’s better.”
“Could you just done that earlier?” Damon asked her.
“Nope.” Marley popped with the ‘p’.
“Huh.” Damon muttered as Stefan smirked.
