ARAYIA, STEFAN AND ELENA WERE ALL IN THE SALVATORE LIVING ROOM, TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED TO ELENA. She had gotten a call from a random number, and turns out it was the man whom she had hit with her car. "Why me? What does he want with me? A—and if he's trying to kill me, then why call first?"

Arayia lightly chuckled. "We're vampires, Elena." she dully answered. "We love the dramatics. It's almost as exciting as the kill."

Stefan pulled something from his pocket, then handed it to Elena. "I want you to take this."

Elena took it from his hands and looked at it, eyebrows furrowing. "This is Jeremy's pocket watch. How did you get it?"

"I took it from Damon, who took it from Logan, who must have taken it from you." Stefan answered with a shrug.

Arayia sat on top of a desk that Damon had a piece of paper, jotting down the names of the Founders of Mystic Falls. Stefan entered the library, hiding something behind his back as he approached Damon.

Arayia chuckled as she saw how much effort Stefan put into his outfit for the 50's decade dance. "You got the hair right."

Stefan dropped a journal down on the desk before Damon. He looked up at his brother, eyebrows furrowed. "Why are you bringing me dad's journal?"

Stefan shrugged. "Cause you were looking for it."

"And why would I want it?" Damon asked his brother.

"Gee, I don't know, Damon." Stefan shrugged. "Maybe you wanna do a little bit of posthumous bonding. Go ahead. Enjoy it. Read it. I have. Nowhere in it does it say anything about Katherine, or the tomb, or how to open it."

Damon took the book from the desk and began to flip through it. Arayia looked at Stefan. "So what was the point of giving it to him if it doesn't say anything about that stuff?"

"I'm sorry that I won't be any help with your diabolical plan, the sequel." Stefan joked, causing his brother to smirk. "I could help you."

"You? Help me?" Damon asked, holding a hand on his chest. "I don't know. Seems a little unnatural."

"I'll do anything to get you two out of this town, even release Katherine." Stefan responded.

"And what about the other 26 vampires?" Arayia asked, furrowing her eyebrows. "Because you do know that if we open the tomb, they'd wake too?"

"No, no, no. They can't come." Stefan shook his head in disagreement. "They have to stay put, but Katherine, I would consider that."

"What are you doing, huh?" Damon asked his brother. "What's your angle?"
