MYSTIC GRILL

Sonia sits at a table, glass of whiskey in her hand. Her red hair falling down her face when she spots Elena walking though the doors

Sonia: Oh no.

Elena: Sonia!

She walks towards the table with a smile

Elena: I didn't know you were here.

Sonia downs her drink and locks eyes with Elena

Sonia: Neither did I, sweetheart. What are you doing here?

Elena: I'm meeting Stefan.

Sonia: Right.

Elena: So.......

She sits down in a chair across from the red head Salvatore

Elena: Drowning your sorrows?

Sonia: I am, Miss Gilbert.

Elena tilts her head to the side studying her

Sonia: What?

Elena: How'd you know you liked girls too?

Sonia: Excuse me?

Elena: Come on, Sonia.

Sonia: My father was dead set on finding me a husband. I did what I was told because that's what was expected of me.

Elena: Well it didn't work so what happened?

Sonia: When Katherine came. I was engaged to a man who I hated.

Elena: You should've never be with someone you don't love.

Sonia: Katherine saw though it and one thing led to another. She was a beacon of hope to me. I loved her.

Elena: You're free now

She stares at her with innocent eyes.

Sonia: I am.

Elena's phone rings, she looks at it, face falling

Sonia: He late?

Elena: Yeah. Nothing's wrong though. Which means I'm not talking boy problems with you.

Sonia: I haven't dated a man since the 60's but that doesn't mean I don't have drama

Elena: He's your brother.

Sonia: What's your point?

Elena: Stefan's-----you say he's a good guy, right?

Sonia: He's the worst of the worst. The evil one

Elena: I get it.

Sonia: He's a good guy, sweetheart. Did he do something?

Elena: Not any one thing. He's just so secretive all the time. I think there's something that he doesn't want me to know, which makes me want to know all the more.

Sonia: Oh he's a serial killer who keeps a clown suit in the trunk of his car

Elena's eyes widens.

Elena: Sonia, I'm serious

Sonia: I'm only joking. I know my promises don't mean much but if Stefan was any danger to you, I'd tell you, sweetheart.

Elena: So you think I'm just being paranoid?

Sonia looks up seeing Stefan entering the Grill

Sonia: I think you should talk to him

She stands, grabbing her bottle of whiskey and smiles at Elena

Sonia: I'll see you later, sweetheart.

Elena: More sorrows to nurse?

Sonia: I'm surprised you had to ask, darling.

SALVATORE HOUSE

Sonia is sitting on the floor leaning against the wall reading a book outside the cellar door. Stefan barges in

Stefan: What are you----are you reading?

Sonia: Stephen King.

Damon: You know I did cocaine with him once in the 80's right? Man that man could party

Sonia: I fucked him.

Stefan looks between them and rolls his eyes.

Damon: I bet you're feeling pretty good about yourself, aren't you?

Stefan: Not particularly.

Damon: You won. You got the bad guy. Now nothing could come between you and Elena. Except the truth. The lies will catch up to you, Stefan. As long as you keep lying to yourself about what you are.

Stefan: The beauty of you in there and me out here...is that I can walk away.

He walks away

Sonia: God his ego.

Damon: I know, right?

SEXY SUDS CAR WASH

Elena: You're supposed to be working

She throws water towards Sonia who flinches glaring at her

Sonia: Why did you bring here?

Elena: You don't get out much and you're, um....uh

She lets her eyes roam down Sonia's upper body. Sonia's wearing jean shorts and red bikini top

Elena: You're really pale.

Sonia: I get out enough

Elena: Going out and drinking doesn't count.

Elena raises her eyebrow, handing her a wet cloth. Sonia grabs it as their hands linger on each others. Both looks into their eyes for a long moment before Sonia turns away and slaps the cloth on the hood of a car.

Elena: You're getting soap on that

She points to Sonia's ring.

Sonia: It's fine, sweetheart.

Elena: I noticed Damon and Stefa has the same one. Is there story behind it?

Sonia: Yeah, it's the family crest from the Italian renaissance.

Elena: Hmm. What's the stone?

Sonia: It's called lapis lazuli.

Elena: Oh. You should really take it off. I could put it in my bag.

Sonia: No it's alright, sweetheart

She places her hand on Elena's face rubbing her cheek slowly with her thumb. Elena clears her throat

Elena: I'm gonna go get some towels.

SALVATORE HOUSE

Sonia and Stefan walks into the house, Sonia lets out a tired yawn

Stefan: We should check on Damon first. Something doesn't feel right

They head towards the cellar

Stefan: ZACH!!

He runs down the stairs kneeling beside their nephew

Stefan: No Zach.

Sonia: Is he dead?

Stefan: Yes

Sonia: Damon?

Stefan: He's gone.

He stands up a look of anger in his eyes

Sonia: Stefan....

Stefan: This has to stop.

He opens a box and grabs a wooden stake

Sonia: Stefan, you can't kill him.

Stefan: What? Kill him?

Sonia: He's our brother

Stefan: Fucking watch me.

He approaches the front door and swing it open meeting the teary eyes of Elena

Sonia: Sweetheart, what-----

Elena: What are you?
