EMERY, STEFAN, DAMON, BONNIE and Elena were in the living room in the Salvatore Boarding house. The green eyes brunette found out that Klaus had made a move earlier during the day from the Bennett witch so she went straight to there after her session.

"So we go to the dance, we find him." Damon said with a shrug as if it was the easiest thing ever.

"Really?" Stefan huffed, "How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like."

"Something tells me he's not going to be sixteen and pimply." Damon said as he poured a glass of bourbon for himself and then another one before handing it to Emery who was sitting on the couch, listening to the conversation going on. She took it with a smile which he returned. The two had built a friendship over the short period of time they knew each other and it was quite strong— purely platonic.

"How was school, little witch?" Damon questioned, sitting down beside Emery who shrugged, "boring, as always."

"I would've posed as a student to keep you company but oh well, the teachers might fall unconscious upon seeing me." Damon spoke, letting out a dramatic sigh making the others look over at the two. "I'm way too hot."

She shook her head, rolling her eyes, "self flattery is not going to get you anywhere, idiot. And you're too old to be a student. Anyone who looks at you can tell that."

Damon feigned a sad look at her words before he grinned, "I'm still hot though. I guess I'll be a teacher then."

Elena ignored the feeling that rushed through her as she stared at the two talking before she decided to drag their attention on her so she began talking about Klaus again, "he could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school."

"I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" Stefan asked, giving them the 'I told you so' look.

Just then, Alaric— Klaus decided to enter the house making Damon look at his drinking partner from the couch, "there you are!" 

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon grabbed Emery's glass from her hand and drank the entire thing just as she was about to. "Dick," the girl muttered under her breath making Damon smirk.

Klaus narrowed his eyes at them. He did ask Katherine who the girl was and he was told that she was part of the scooby gang. However, Katherine left out the fact that the girl was a witch for various reasons. The Petrova doppleganger didn't have a problem with Emery like she did with the others.

"Okay, so we find him and then what, hmm?" Elena raised her brows, "what's our plan of attack?"

"Me," Bonnie replied, "I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him."

"That's not going to be that easy," Klaus interjected with a small chuckle, "I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around."

"He has a point," Emery spoke up as she got up from the couch and stood to face them. Damon hummed, "I mean, what if he—" He vamp sped at Bonnie but she threw him on the other side of the room with her powers, without touching him.

"Well, I was impressed." Stefan said with a small nod.

"It doesn't matter if he's an Original," Bonnie began saying, "I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him, Elena. I know I can."

"Sweet," Emery flashed her a smile making Elena raise her brows at her, "wait, Emery could help you."

"Emery could what now?" She asked, speaking in third person's point of view. Elena approached the girl, "you're a witch, right? You and Bonnie could—"

"— Absolutely not!" Damon was quick to deny, walking over to the girl before throwing his arm around her shoulder protectively. "No, no, and no," Damon shook his head, giving Elena a pointed look, "did I mention no? No."

"I hate to say this but I agree with Damon," Bonnie said, shooting Elena a look, "it's better that Em doesn't help."

"No, I can help." Emery voiced out her thoughts with a small frown on her face, "Elena's right. I can't let you do this on your own. That's selfish."

"It's not selfish," Stefan spoke up, "it's not safe. You're staying out of this. And besides you aren't even going to the dance."

"I—" Emery was cut off by Damon, "—no."

"But—" again, she was cut off by the elder Salvatore, "— no buts. I said no."

"You're not my dad, Damon." Emery shot him a glare which he returned, "I'm older than you so what I say goes and I said no."

Klaus just stood there and watched their interaction, confusion filling his head. Why did Katherine left out the part that she was a witch? And why weren't they allowing her to help? He had so many questions.

"You best make sure nothing happens to her," Emery said, looking pointedly at the elder Salvatore, "because if something does happen, I'll burn your tiny little dick."

"It's not tiny," Damon scoffed, rolling his eyes, "you can't judge like that! You haven't even seen it. This is unf—"

He was cut off by his brother, "—Are you guys seriously gonna talk about that when we have a bigger problem ahead?"

"Oh you know what?" Damon turned to Emery with a smirk, "it's definitely bigger than Stefan, here."

"I highly doubt that," Emery shook her head making the Salvatore frown while Stefan's face slightly reddened.

"Whatever do you mean?" Damon frowned, "how would you even know?"

"Elena's always talking about how b—" the young witch was cut off by Elena who placed her hand over her mouth to shut her up, her face redder than it has ever been as she avoided Stefan's stare. She could tell the younger Salvatore was smirking.

"Wow," Klaus muttered, eyes furrowing as he stared at the group of people in front of him, "so are we forgetting about the big bad vampire?"

Emery removed Elena's hand off her mouth, shooting her a grin which the doppleganger return with a small fake glare, her face all flushed.

"We'll take care of it," Damon waved him off, "he can't be that bad, right? I mean, maybe he's just a small guy, acting all tough."

"Or maybe he actually is a bad guy and powerful." Emery said to Damon, "I mean, the way Rose talked about him—"

"— she's right," Elena cut in, "Rose was really scared. We can't underestimate him."
