Woods
[Stefan hangs up his phone.]
Jeremy: Stefan. Elena's not at home. Matt and I, we're getting her out of town.
Stefan: It's gonna be fine. Klaus was lying, we're all gonna be okay. [Caroline and Elijah show up.]
Elijah: What happened? [Stefan doesn't respond.]
Caroline: Stefan?
People look at Elijah sadly.
Kol's room
[Layla is laying next to Kol. Kol is talking on phone.]
Davina looks jaelous and sad.
"Why is Layla in your bed?! Naked?!" Said Bella angrily, glaring at Kol.
"I think you know." Said Kol.
"You slept with my daughter?!" Said Bella.
"Calm down! It was just sex." Said Layla. Bella hits Kol in head. After hearing this, Davina looked relived.
"I will kill you when we get out of here!" Said Bella. Kol gulped nervously. Others laughed at Kol's misery.
Kol: It's impossible. Nik, can't be dead.
[Kol laughs in desbelief.] We all know he will out live us all.
At the reminder mood dropped.
Elijah: I'm sorry. I- I- Can you tell Bella? Please. [Kol has pain in his eyes. Layla is crying.]
"Are you and Layla close?" Asked Davina.
"Not romantically." Said Klaus, after seeing Davina's look.
Kol: I- i can't. She--
"You didn't tell me!" Said Bella, glaring at him.
"I didn't know how to tell you and we didn't know it for sure. I wanted to be sure before telling you." Said Kol.
[Layla takes Kol's phone.]
Layla: I don't understand. Why no one died?!
Elijah: Tyler Lockwood is dead, but the rest survived.
Kol: You said that Niklaus turned their bloodline.
Elijah: I thought he did.
Kol: It wasn't me and it wasn't Bella.
Layla: I talked to Barty few minutes ago and he was perfectly fine, too and i know for sure he is from Klaus's sireline and If Klaus is dead then...
Elijah: Then how are they still alive?
"You found out fast." Said Klaus.
Matt's Pickup Truck
[Elena has her phone out.]
Elena: I need to call Stefan, but my phone is dying. [Matt pulls out his phone.]
Matt: Here. Use mine. [Matt hands over his phone as they drive towards the Wickery Bridge.]
Elena: Thanks. [Elena looks up and sees a figure standing in the middle of the road.]
Elena: Matt, look out! [Layla is the figure standing in the road. Matt swerves to avoid her and sends the truck flying over the guardrail and into the water.]
"Why did she do that?" Asked Davina.
"First, She and Nik are friends and second, to get ride of Alaric." Said Bella.
Storage Units
[Alaric and Damon are still fighting. Damon grabs Alaric's wrist and the stake falls out of his hand. Alaric starts to feel weak.]
Alaric: What's happening?
Damon: Oh no.
Alaric: What's happening?! [Alaric falls to his knees and Damon goes down with him, cradling him in his arms.]
Damon: No. No, no, no, no. Ric, Ric! You are not dead. You are not dead. [Alaric starts to desiccate and then dies. Damon shakes his body and tears start to glisten in his eyes, knowing that, not only has he lost his best friend, but that he has also lost Elena.]
Mystic Falls Hospital
[In the morgue, Elena's body is lying on a stretcher. Stefan is sitting next to her with tears in his eyes. Upstairs, Damon bursts into the hospital.]
Damon: Where is she? [Meredith sees him and walks over to him.]
Meredith: No, Damon, wait.
Damon: Where is she!? [Meredith grabs Damon and stops him.]
Meredith: You need to know, when Jeremy brought Elena in here earlier tonight, her injuries were worse than I let on. It wasn't a concussion, it was a cerebral hemorrhage, bleeding of the brain.
Damon: What are you saying?
Meredith: He was so worried, I didn't want to tell him, but I – I helped her. She needed my help.
Damon: You what? [In the morgue, Elena's body still lies on the stretcher. Suddenly, Elena comes back to life, gasping for air.]
"She should have stayed dead. Would do the world favour." Muttered Bella.
Gilbert Residence
[There is a bright white light and the sounds of church bells ringing, sirens, and yard work going on can be heard. Suddenly, Elena gasps for air and wakes up. It's morning. Stefan is sitting on the end of her bed, watching her. She seems confused about what is going on around her.]
Elena: Stefan?
Stefan: Hey. I'm right here. You've been in and out for hours.
Elena: Wh-what happened?
Stefan: You were in an accident.
Elena: Oh my God. Matt is he...?
Stefan: I'm sorry. [Elena starts to cry.]
Stefan: When Jeremy brought you to the hospital before all this happened, your injuries were worse than anyone knew. Meredith Fell made a choice, she used Damon's blood to heal you.
Damon: And when that girl ran Matt's truck off the road, you had vampire blood in your system, Elena. [Elena starts to panic.]
Elena: Oh my God. Does - does that mean that I – am I dead? [Stefan and Damon say nothing.]
Hayley and Davina look at her with pity.
Elena: No, no, no, no! That wasn't supposed to happen!
Stefan: Maybe it doesn't have to. I talked to Bonnie, she says she's stronger than ever, there might be something that she can do to help you.
"Millions of witches have tried it before. There isn't any other way." Said Kol.
Damon: No, the only thing that's going to help is for you to feed and complete the transition.
"True." Said Bella.
Stefan: We have all day before she has to feed, Damon. That's a day to exhaust every possible way out of this.
Damon: There is no way out of it. We all know the drill. You feed or you die. There is no door number three.
Elena: [crying] I was ready to die. I was supposed to die. I don't – I don't want to be – I can't be a vampire! If there's something that Bonnie can do we have to try.
Stefan: We will. We'll try everything. [Damon scoffs and rolls his eyes.]
Damon: Your choice, Elena. As always.
[Damon gets up and leaves. Stefan looks at Elena who is still in tears. In the kitchen, Damon grabs a bottle of alcohol from a cupboard and pours himself a drink. Stefan enters the kitchen.]
Damon: Way to get her hopes up for something that's never happened in the history of vampirism.
Stefan: You know what, you weren't there the day Elena looked me in the eye and told me she absolutely never wanted this. [Damon drinks the whole drink in a single gulp.]
"Then let her die!" Said Layla. Bella nodded.
Gilbert Residence
[Elena walks up the stairs and towards her room. She sees Damon sitting on the window seat.]
Elena: I thought you left?
Damon: Cute PJs! [Elena looks down at her clothes, and then hears herself speaking from the bathroom. She looks over at herself.]
Elena: I'm tired, Damon. [Damon gets up and walks over to the memory version of Elena and holds up her old necklace.]
Damon: I brought you this.
Elena: I thought that was gone. Thank you. [Elena continues to watch the memory unfold. The memory version of herself attempts to take the necklace from Damon but he pulls it back. Suddenly, Damon and memory Elena disappear. Elena gasps and looks around the room,confused.She turns her head and the memory continues on.]
Damon: I just have to say something.
Elena: Why do you have to say it with my necklace?
Damon: Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life.
Elena: Damon, don't go there.
Damon: No, I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this? I don't deserve you, but my brother does. [Damon kisses Elena on the forehead.]
Damon: God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do. [Damon compels Elena to forget. The memory ends and the present day Elena touches her neck and looks down.]
"See? Damon and Elena would be better couple. Damon would burn down whole world for Elena, but Stefan has morals. That's why Elena likes Damon more. She likes that Damon cares only for her." Said Bella.
