I change into some clothes I pulled out yesterday before creeping out of my bedroom. I travel downstairs quietly with bare feet. I walk in and listen to Damon and Stefan arguing over who is going to kill Katherine. "You're not gonna kill her," Stefan says and Damon gives him a look. "Really?" He asks and Stefan crosses his arms. "Because I am," Stefan says I roll my eyes. "What's the plan then?" I ask them and they all turn around surprised to see me. Damon speeds over to me and looks me over. "How do you feel Hesperia?" He asks and I shrug. "I feel fine. How long was I out for?" I ask him, "Two days." Stefan says walking over and I nod. "Yeah, that checks out," I tell him before shrugging. He pulls me into a tight hug and I hug him back. "I'm alright Stef," I whisper softly. "What happened to you last night? You showed up and your eyes were red and then you collapsed." Stefan says and I shrug my shoulders. "I did a spell to help Jenna." I lie softly. He nods and we start preparing for tonight. "What's going on?" Bonnie asks "We're gonna kill Katherine." He says as she walks inside I give Jeremy a small smirk. "I can explain," Stefan says, Bonnie looks at him and nods. "Please." She says softly. "We're gonna kill Katherine." He says shrugging. We all join Alaric where he is showing off different weapons. " This works with compressed air. The trigger mechanism is up here. I have two of these in different sizes." Alaric explains before pointing to Stefan. "For you, I recommend this. It fits nicely under the jacket sleeve. You use the trigger when you're ready." He says before he fake kills a vampire. Damon and Stefan look at each other. "You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire." He tells them. I raise my hand slightly, "What would you recommend for me Alaric?" I ask causing Damon, Stefan, and Jeremy to all look at each other and I roll my eyes. "I figured your magic would be your greatest asset. Healing in case things get hinky." Alaric tells me. "But-" I start before Damon cuts me off, "Healing Speria. You are healing." He says. I glare at him a send a book to smack him in the back of the head before storming off.I was sitting in my room practicing my magic when Bonnie walks in. "Hey Hesperia, we were going over the plan and I am going to need your help with a spell." She says I nod my head and stand up walking with her out to the parlor, where everyone already was. "Are you sure you guys don't want me there tonight?" Alaric asks and Stefan shakes his head, "No, I need you to stay with Elena. I don't want her to know about this." He says looking at him. Alaric nods his head, "Okay. Well, I'll make sure she doesn't leave my sight." He promises. Stefan: Alright, if anybody wants to back out, I'll understand." Stefan says, Damon, nodding along. "Yeah. Cold feet speak now. I don't want this going wrong if someone chicken's out. Caroline." Damon says his eyes going over all of us before landing on Caroline. "I won't. Look, she killed me. Fair's fair. As long as there's no werewolf running around." She says defensively. "Oh, I took care of Mason," Damon says and Jeremy nods his head. "As long as Tyler doesn't kill anyone, he won't turn," Jeremy tells everyone I nod my head. "So, that will be another priority because knowing Kat she will be wanting another werewolf," I say softly. Everyone nods along before Stefan looks at Bonnie, "Bonnie? Are you with us?" He asks her. There is a long pause with all of the group looking at her. "But no one gets hurt." She confirms causing Damon to chime in. "Except Katherine. Tonight Katherine gets a stake through her heart." He says causing me to smile.
