After failing to get any information from Elijah and Damon almost getting himself killed, the two siblings decided to just go home, and lets just say Arabella was far from sober

"Today was a bust" Damon complained as he sat down

"Yeah. How's the throat?" Alaric asked, Arabella didn't know how he ended up there, to be honest she wasn't paying attention to anything they were saying

"Sore" Damon groaned as he glared at Arabella

Arabella laughed "What? I didn't do anything" she kinda slurred as she spoke

Damon narrowed his eyes at her "You were there so he didn't kill me"

"You're still alive aren't you?" Damon didn't say anything "Exactly"

"Elijah's one scary dude, but with nice hair" Alaric commented

"Yeahhhh" Arabella laughed a little "I love his hair"

Damon shot his sister a weird look as he reached over to take her drink "Ok, you're cut off"

"Noooo!" she whined, as she tried to take the cup back

"Stop!" Damon warned "Just go to sleep ok?"

Arabella pouted but nodded her hair and lay down, her feet on Damon's lap "Ok" she muttered

"You want another one?" Alaric asked Damon, amused at the drunk Arabella

He gets up and Damon hands him his glass, which Alaric takes and walks over to the drinks

"He's gonna be hard to kill" Damon said

Alaric looked at him wearily "You sure you wanna talk about this with Bella here?"

Damon waved his off "She's out for the count, trust me"

"Ok" he said, not fully believing Damon but kept talking anyway "I'd think twice before I'd trust that dagger and some ashes to do the job" he pours more bourbon in their glasses "You're gonna need more info"

"I'm out of sources" Damon told him "and it's not as if I can ak this one" he gestured to his sister "she can't know about it"

"She's gonna hate you"

"She'll get over it"

"I don't think so" Alaric spoke as he handed Damon his drink

Damon rolled his eyes "Ok, I think I know my own sister more than you, so"

"Yeah so then you know that she's still in love with him" Alaric sat on the other sofa as he talked "You kill him, she'll kill you"

Damon watched his sister and thought back to the way she was looking at Elijah, the way she talks about him, if he kills Elijah she'll never get over it and Alaric was right, she'll hate him. But it was worth it, right

"Whatever, can we talk about something other than my sisters love life?"

"What about yours?" Alaric said, suggestively "The news chick?"

"Ooh. She's got spunk, huh?"

"Just don't kill her, please"

Damon smirked "If I did, who would report her death?"

Alaric rolled his eyes, annoyed "Just don't do it, all right? She's friends with Jenna, and it's bad enough that I'm lying to her about everything else. I hate the lies" he complained. He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it "Oh, God. I got to go. I got to pick up Jenna" he stood up "Don't worry. I'll, uh, show myself out"

Damon places his hands on the back of his head and shuts his eyes "Good luck" he taunts

Alaric walked out of the library and Damon remained where he was until he heard a loud crashing noice coming from the hallway. He gets up, gently lifts Arabella's legs off is lap and sets them on the sofa, careful not to wake her. When he gets out into the hallway he sees Alaric, a large knife plunged into his stomach. Alaric looks at Damon as he clutches the knife as he groans and falls to the floor
