I don't own anything associated with Vampire Diaries, only the plot after Damon and Rebekah are at the boarding house. I do own the additional dialogue when Esther is talking to Elena before extending that scene and when Elena's talking to someone at her house the morning of the ball and right after the ball that night. I'm not making any money off this either. It's just for fun.
Matt is standing in a hallway and Elena walks up to him at night in the Mystic Falls Hospital.
"How's Mr. Saltzman?" He asked.
"Resigned to spending the night in observation, so long as I promise to change the lock on the house." Someone is looking at them through a room window as they walk towards the exit. "So I talked to Bonnie earlier. She and her mom are fine. Have you talked to Caroline?"
"Yeah, she's holding it together, considering how close she and her dad used to be. Any word on who's behind these attacks?"
"No, Sheriff Forbes said there's no real suspects at all."
They're now walking outside the hospital in the parking lot.
"How are you dealing with everything? I mean, you keep getting dragged into all of this."
"Honestly...I'm kind of lucky, the only thing that I have to worry about for tomorrow, is showing up for my shift at the Grill."
"Thank you, for everything today. Really."
"Get home safe."
"Thanks."
"She sighs and walks to her car. Matt gets into his car and reverses out. Elena waves to him from inside her car as he's driving away. She starts her car, starts reversing, and hits something. She stops driving immediately."
"What?"
She gets out of her car and checks her bumper. There's nothing there. Suddenly, Rebekah appears.
"Drive much?" The blond asked.
"Rebekah."
Rebekah grabs Elena and pushes her against her car.
"Surprised? You drove a dagger through my back, Elena. It hurt."
Rebekah tries to bite Elena and Elena screams.
Suddenly Elijah rushes over, and holds Rebekah against a car by her throat.
"Elijah." Rebekah said.
"Leave." He turns to her.
He releases his grip and Rebekah steps forward.
"Are you challenging me?" He asked.
"You're pathetic. Both of you." Rebekah disappears.
"Well...I believe we have a little catching up to do." Elijah said.
Vampire Diaries
The next morning, Elena, Stefan, and Damon are in the kitchen at the Gilbert house.
"It was their mother Esther who was sealed in that coffin." She told them.
"As in the Original Witch?" Stefan asked.
"What? How is she even alive? Thought her hybrid freak show of a son ripped her heart out a thousand years ago." Demon said.
"I don't know. I'm guessing she has a couple connections in the witching community. Elijah said that she wants to live in peace with her family, including Klaus." Elena said.
"She was supposed to be the weapon to help us kill Klaus." Stefan said.
"Well, not anymore...at least not according to Elijah." Elena replied, still trusting him after everything since he's protected her against his own brother.
