Chapter 3

Mystic Falls High School
[It's the 60s decade dance. Everyone's dancing. Alaric/Klaus arrives, dances his way through the crowd and heads over to Dana and her date.]
Dana: Nice outfit, Mr. Saltzman. Totally far out.
Alaric/Klaus: Thank you, Dana. Thank you. Now who is your date?
Chad: It's Chad, Mr. Saltzman, from third period.
Alaric/Klaus: Chad, of course. How would you and your friends like to earn a little extra credit? [Chad smiles and looks eager to help out. Bonnie and Jeremy are outside.]
Jeremy: Wait. [He takes off his ring.]
Jeremy: Look, I, um, I want you to have this.
Bonnie: If you're asking me to go steady, I think that was the fifties.
Davina chuckled.
Jeremy: No, I'm serious, Bonnie.
Bonnie: The ring won't work on me, Jeremy.
Jeremy: But it was made by a witch.
Bonnie: To protect from the supernatural, not for someone who is.
Jeremy: Well, I have to do something. I can't just... I can't just let you get yourself killed.
Bonnie: Just because a bunch of dead witches gave me a warning doesn't mean I'm going to die.
"Actually, it does." Said Kol.
Jeremy: So you're saying there's a 50-50 shot you won't? Look, I'm sorry. But... you know I don't have the best luck in the girlfriend department.
Bonnie: Hey. Listen, I... I can't explain it. But I can feel them. I'm empowered, Jeremy, I can do this. I know I can. I'm strong enough. [She embraces him and sees Damon.]
Bonnie: Damon.
Damon: Evenin'
[He goes inside. Elena and Stefan arrive and walk up to Bonnie and Jeremy.]
Elena: Hey you two. Oh, you look nice. [She embraces Bonnie.]
Bonnie: You too.
Stefan: You guys ready to do this? [Inside everyone is dancing. Dana goes onto the stage and speaks into the microphone.]
Dana: Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight. [Elena, Stefan, Bonnie, Jeremy and Damon stop in front of the stage.]
Dana: This is for Elena. From Klaus.
[A song starts playing. Elena seems stunned. Alaric/Klaus looks happy.]
Damon: That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us.
"It isn't lame, it's classic." Defended Klaus and Bella.
Elena: I know everyone here.
Stefan: Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is.
"Why would he do that?" Asked Hayley.
Damon: It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us.
Bonnie: Good idea. [She takes Jeremy's arm.]
Jeremy: No, no, I really don't feel like dancing.
Bonnie: Too bad. [They go on the dance floor. Damon sees Alaric/Klaus.]
Damon: There's Ric. I'll be back. [He leaves. Damon walks over to and stands next to Alaric/Klaus.]
Alaric/Klaus: Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted.
Damon: I'm not impressed. [Alaric/Klaus looks disappointed and looks at Damon.]
"You look so disappointed." Laughed Bella. Kol, Hayley, Marcel, Layla and Davina joined. Klaus glared at them.
Alaric/Klaus: No?
Damon: Let me know if you see anything out of whack. [He leaves. Jeremy and Bonnie are dancing and so are Elena and Stefan. She sees Caroline and Matt arriving.]
Elena: Caroline's here. They don't know what's going on. We have to tell her.
Stefan: I'm on it. [He looks at Damon and motions that he has to leave. Damon takes Elena and they dance.]
"Switching brothers already?" Said Hayley.
"You are one to talk." Said Bella. Hayley glared at her. Bella, Kol, Layla and Klaus laughed. Marcel chuckled, too.
Damon: How you doing?
Elena: Um, freaking out a bit. You?
Damon: Cool as a cucumber. Come on, remember the last decade dance? The vampires were all, "arghh!" And you were all, "aahh!"
Elena: Right. And you won.
Damon: Yes! We did. [He spins her round.]
Elena: You're good at this.
Damon: I've got moves you've never seen.
"Scumbag." Said Layla.
[She laughs. Bonnie and Jeremy are dancing. Damon joins them.]
Damon: May I? [Jeremy looks at him and leaves. Damon dances with Bonnie.]
Bonnie: You heard Jeremy and me talking, didn't you?
Damon: Is it true?
Bonnie: Yes.
Damon: The part about you having a 50-50 shot of surviving? Is that true?
Bonnie: He was upset. I didn't want him to worry.
Damon: So you lay it out on the line for Elena, no matter what.
Bonnie: No matter what.
Damon: Good.
"She lets them use her as a servant? She's emberassing her ancestors." Said Kol.
Bonnie: You can't tell her.
Damon: Your secret's safe with me, but I mean...With all that power, is there no way to increase your odds?
Bonnie: Careful, Damon. I might start to think you actually care.
"He doesn't care about you. He cares that poor Elena's feelings will be hurt." Said Bella with an eyeroll.
"He can't hear you." Said Klaus.
"Shut up!" Said Bella.
Damon: We wouldn't want that. [Elena and Jeremy are standing near the drinks table. They're looking at Bonnie and Damon.]
Elena: What are they up to?
Jeremy: Who knows?
Elena: Is there something going on, Jer? You okay?
Jeremy: Fine. I'm fine. [He leaves. Stefan joins her.]
Stefan: Everything all right?
Elena: I'm not sure. [Jeremy is in the hallway. Stefan joins him.]
Stefan: Jeremy. What are you doing? Elena thinks we should stick together.
Jeremy: Yeah, I'm fine. I've got my ring. It's... it's Bonnie.
Stefan: What is it? Hey, you got something on your mind, spit it out.
Jeremy: If Bonnie takes on Klaus, channeling all that energy's going to kill her.
Stefan: What?
Jeremy: But she doesn't want Elena to know, 'cause if Elena knows, she's gonna try to stop her. And it's Elena that could turn up dead, so...What am I supposed to do? [Everyone is dancing. Damon is dancing with two girls. Bonnie looks at him and smiles. Elena joins her.]
Elena: I need to talk to you. [They leave. Damon's looking at them. Bonnie looks at him. Stefan heads over to Damon.]
Stefan: Come here, come here, come here. Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a suicide mission.
Damon: Oh, great. Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena.
Stefan: Yeah, I told her. You promised her no more secrets.
Damon: I changed my mind. [Elena and Bonnie are outside away from everyone else.]
Elena: How could you not tell me?
Bonnie: 'Cause I knew how'd you react.
Elena: No. No way, it's not an option.
Bonnie: It's our only option.
Elena: Then we'll find another way, okay? Bonnie, you're not dying to save my life.
Bonnie: I have the power to save you! If I don't use it and something happens, that would kill me more.
"Ughhh... can we skip this?" Said Layla.
Elena: I can't let you.
Bonnie: Just answer one question...if the situation was reversed, would you do it for me? [Elena doesn't answer.]
Bonnie: So you know why I have to.
Elena: No. No! [Jeremy is in the hallway. Chad and two other students are waiting for him.]
Jeremy: What's going on, guys?
Chad: You okay, Gilbert? You don't look so good.
Jeremy: Dude, seriously? Wrong day, wrong guy. [They start fighting. The two other boys grab Jeremy while Chad punches him in the stomach a few times. The other boys throw Jeremy to the ground and they all start kicking him. Stefan and Damon run over.]
Damon: Hey idiots!
[One of the boys pulls out a crossbow and shoots a stake at Damon and it hits him in the shoulder. The other boys pull out weapons.]
Damon: Let me guess... Klaus says hi?
[Stefan rushes over to the boys and hits them. Damon grabs another boy and holds a stake up ready to kill him.]
Stefan: No, no, no, no, don't kill him. He's compelled.
Damon: So?
Stefan: So, the whole thing's a distraction. Go find Bonnie and Elena. I got this. Go.
[Damon throws the boy against the lockers, knocking him out. Damon runs towards the dance floor. Alaric/Klaus runs up to Bonnie and Elena outside.]
Alaric/Klaus: Elena!
Elena: What is it?
Alaric/Klaus: He has Jeremy.
Elena: What?
Bonnie: What?!
Alaric/Klaus: Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on. [They follow him through a side door and into a hallway.]
"Good acting." Complimented Bella. Klaus smirked.
Elena: Okay, so where are you taking us?
Alaric/Klaus: Just a little further.
Elena: Wait...Something's not right.
Bonnie: Where's Jeremy? [Alaric/Klaus stops walking and laughs.]
Alaric/Klaus: I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, ugh. Not my decade. [He laughs.]
Alaric/Klaus: I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz.
"True. I loved twenties." Said Bella.
"I wouldn't know. I was daggered." Said Kol glaring at Klaus.
Elena: Alaric. Are you on vervain?
Alaric/Klaus: Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?
Elena: He's being compelled.
Alaric/Klaus: Nope. Try again.
Elena: What's going on?
"Come on, that's not that hard." Said Bella while eating popcorn.
"Where would you get that?" Asked Layla.
"I just wished i had popcorn and it appeared." Said Bella. Layla got popcorn.
"Huh? It works." Said Layla.
Alaric/Klaus: Okay, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric.
Elena: Klaus! [Alaric/Klaus smiles broadly.]
Alaric/Klaus: Surprise!
Elena: Oh, no. No, it's not possible.
"Nothing is imposible. We're in supernatural world." Said Bella.
Alaric/Klaus: Just relax, Elena. I'm not here to hurt you. You're not on my hit list tonight. [He looks at Bonnie.]
Alaric/Klaus: But you are. [He starts towards Bonnie but she throws him against the wall with her powers. He gets up.]
Alaric/Klaus: Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that. [He rushes over to her and she throws him against a display case, smashing the glass. He falls to the ground but laughs.]
Alaric/Klaus: By all means...Fire away! [He gets up.]
Alaric/Klaus: If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy.
Bonnie: Go. Run. Run! [They run. Bonnie closes the doors with her powers. Damon runs through another pair of doors and joins them.]
Damon: What happened?
Elena: Klaus is in Alaric's body.
Damon: What?
Bonnie: He's possessing it or something. [He looks at Elena.]
Damon: Go find Stefan. Now.
Elena: Okay.
Damon: Now. [She leaves. Damon and Bonnie are alone.]
Damon: Can you kill him?
Bonnie: He's got some kind of protection spell on him.
Damon: You have the power of a hundred witches. Break it.
Bonnie: I'm trying! If I kill Alaric, he'll just possess someone else. He knows I have my power, Damon. He's trying to kill me.
"She's smarter than i thought." Said Kol surprised.
Damon: No. Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way. You still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him? [Elena moving through the dance floor, looking all around her. Caroline sees her. She's with Matt.]
Caroline: Hey! Are you okay?
Elena: Um...Yeah. I'm just...I'm looking for Stefan. [She sees him.]
Caroline: Seriously, what's wrong?
Elena: Uh, just, um, just stay with Matt, okay? [She sees Stefan and goes over to him.]
Matt: What was that about?
Caroline: Oh, you know, just the same old drama. [Bonnie is in the hallway, alone. She walks determinedly through the hallway. She enters the cafeteria. Alaric/Klaus is sitting in a chair, a knife in between this fingers. He wiggles the knife as he speaks.]
Alaric/Klaus: What took you so long? Now, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way? [She breaks his wrist of the hand holding the knife with her powers. The knife drops onto the floor. He grabs his hand and twists it with a jerk back into place.]
Bella glares at Bonnie.
Alaric/Klaus: The hard way. Got it. [He gets up. She breaks his shoulder with her powers. He groans.]
Alaric/Klaus: What? You'd kill your favorite history teacher?
Bonnie: It's what Alaric would want. And he'd want you to suffer first.
[Blood starts leaking from one of her nostrils.]
Alaric/Klaus: Look at you.
[She wipes her nose.]
Alaric/Klaus: Is that all you got?
Bonnie: Let's find out.
[Bonnie is fighting Alaric/Klaus with her powers. She breaks his leg. The lights flicker and a gust of wind sends papers flying. Her nose is bleeding a lot. She breaks Alaric/Klaus' foot and he falls to the floor. Elena and Stefan arrive. Bonnie shuts the doors so they can't come in.]
Elena: Bonnie, no! [Alaric/Klaus is crawling on the floor. Bonnie fights Alaric/Klaus and lights start bursting, sending a shower of sparks raining down. Elena screams. Stefan tries to open the doors but he can't. Bonnie looks at Elena with a smile. Alaric/Klaus gets up and Bonnie faces him. Suddenly with a jerk of her body she bends back and falls on the floor. Elena and Stefan open the doors and rush over Bonnie in the now dark room.]
Elena: No! Oh! Bonnie! Bonnie, Bonnie! Bonnie! Hey, hey. [She takes Bonnie in her arms. Stefan looks around them. Alaric/Klaus is gone.]
Elena: Stefan, she's not breathing! [She starts crying.]
"It brings me so much joy when i see her cry." Said Bella with a smile.
"Me, too." Said Kol.
Elena: Stefan! Stefan, I can't find her pulse! Stefan! Do something, please! Stefan, please! Just give her blood, do something, please! [Stefan slowly looks up at Elena.]
Stefan: It's too late. I'm sorry. [Elena's still crying and shaking her head in disbelief.]
Elena: No! No. No, no, no, no, no! Bonnie! Bonnie, please, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! [Damon arrives.]
Damon: Stefan, get Elena out of here. I'll deal with the body.
Elena: What do you mean, deal with it?
Damon: The sheriff can't know about this. Last thing we need's another mysterious death.
Elena: This is Bonnie! [Damon looks at Stefan.]
Damon: Get her home. Now. So I can clean this up. [Stefan grabs Elena and helps her to get up.]
Stefan: Hey, hey, hey.
Elena: No. Jeremy. Oh, my God, Jeremy. What about Jeremy?
Damon: I'll find him. [Elena gets up. She looks at Bonnie's body, crying and screaming. Stefan takes her and they leave. Alone, Damon gently caresses Bonnie's face and closes her eyes. Later, Damon gently puts Bonnie's body in the trunk and closes it. Jeremy runs over to him.]
Jeremy: Damon! Hey, I got your message, I can't find anyone. Where's Elena, where's Bonnie?
Damon: We need to have a little talk.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Elena is waiting for Elijah to wake up. Suddenly he wakes up. Elena rushes over to him. He's in shock when he sees her]
Elena: Elijah.
Elijah: Katerina!
Elena: Elijah! It's me, it's Elena.
Elijah: Oh, my God. [He closes his eyes. Elena gets closer but his body spasms. He gets up and is gasping for air.]
Elijah: I can't-I can't breathe! What's happening to me? [He rushes over near the door but slams into the doorway. She rushes over to him and holds him up.]
Elijah: I can't...I can't be in this house.
Elena: You're not invited in.
Elijah: Then get me out of here. [He slams into another wall and disappears.]
Bella and Kol laughed at him.
[Elena runs after him and goes to the front door. Elijah is crouching outside. He gets up and rushes at her to enter but freezes at the threshold, unable to enter.]
Elijah: What happened?
Elena: Shh! [She shows him that Stefan and Damon can hear and she whispers.]
Elena: I'll tell you. Not here. Can I trust you?
"Really? She daggered you and then asks you if she can trust you?" Said Bella.
Elijah: (whispers) Can I trust you? [She gives him the dagger. He takes it.]
