Vampire Diaries (Aria Gilbert )

Before Sunset

*Mystic Falls High School,It's morning. Alaric is sitting alone at his desk in his classroom, his feet propped up on the desk. He twirls the white oak stake in his hands and takes his feet off the desk. He leans forward and looks at the stake. He turns to look out the door. He hears Caroline entering the school.Caroline is on the phone with Tyler, she walks through the halls of the school.*
Caroline: What do you mean you're ditching my clean up committee?
Tyler: (At Klaus' Family Mansion) Klaus called. He's leaving town and wants me to pack up his house.
Caroline: Well, since when does sire bond equal mover slave?
Tyler: Since he realized you're not gonna dump me for him.
Caroline: Ugh, he's being petty.
Tyler: And he still thinks I'm sired to him. It's fine, I'll keep up the act and it will all be over soon. I'm late, I gotta go. I love you.
Caroline: I love you too.(Caroline hangs up. She hears a noise and turns around. Behind her, Alaric rushes past. Caroline turns back around.) Hello?(Caroline walks into the cafeteria. Rebekah is alone, cleaning up the mess from the dance.)
Caroline: Where's Matt?
Rebekah: He bailed. Got called into work at the last minute.
Caroline: Are you kidding me? So, it's just us?
Rebekah: Yes, and you're late. Clean up committee started at eight o'clock.
Caroline: It's like 8:02.
Rebekah: Exactly. I managed to turn up on time and I didn't even get to attend the dance that I organized.(Rebekah walks past Caroline and empties out the trash.)
Caroline: I'm sorry about your mom. I mean I know you like, hated her and everything, but still...I'm sorry.
Rebekah: I'm sorry about your teacher. He seemed like a nice guy.
Caroline: Yeah. He was.
Rebekah: I'm gonna get started on the gym.(she goes to leave but Caroline sighs as she stops her)
Caroline: Wait,before you leave I think you should know that your mom killed Aria as well.(Rebekah then looks down) but don't worry she's alive, she is just a vampire or hybrid I don't really know but she's alive,I just thought you should know.
Rebekah: Well,that explains why she wasn't at the mansion,Thank you Caroline.(Rebekah walks out into the hallway. Alaric comes around the corner and Rebekah stops dead in her tracks.)You're supposed to be dead.
Alaric: I am!(Rebekah rushes at Alaric, but Alaric throws her against the locker. He's about to stab her with the white oak stake when Caroline rushes out of the cafeteria and pins Alaric to the locker. Rebekah takes the stake and stabs Alaric with it. Caroline and Rebekah look at each other as Alaric takes the stake out. When he finally gets it out, he realizes that they are both gone. Outside, Caroline rushes to her car and pulls out her keys and fumbles with them. She sees Alaric's reflection in her car window and drops her keys. Alaric snaps Caroline's neck and she falls to the ground. Alaric drags the unconscious Caroline back towards the school as his flesh starts to smoke and burn off. Rebekah watches him enter the school.)

*Gilbert Residence,Elena drapes a white cover over an armchair. Jeremy and her pour paint into a paint trough and begin to paint the room. Stefan walks in.*
Stefan: Going darker, huh?(Elena looks around.)
Elena: It's the only color we had.
Jeremy: That's what happens when you decide to paint one of your dead guardian's room in the middle of the night.
Stefan: I don't suppose anyone tried to talk you guys out of doing this so soon.
Elena: We have to keep moving. Otherwise we'll start thinking and we don't want to think.
Stefan: Where's Jenna and Aria?
Elena: Jenna is with Meredith. She said that Jenna was drinking all night and she's sleeping right now but Jenna will come back when she wakes up and Aria, I don't—
Jeremy: she left with Katherine earlier this morning,apparently Katherine is teaching her how to hunt—
Elena:(in shock) people!?
Jeremy: no! Of course not,it's animals.
Elena: oh.
Stefen: She could have told me,I would have been happy to help her and beside I don't think Katherine is really the best person to be teaching her how to hunt animals.(Elena and Jeremy continue painting)Want a hand?
Jeremy: So, are you two like back together or something?
Elena: What? No, Jer, we're just...
Stefan: I – I was just checking up on you guys. Seeing how you were doing, after everything.
Jeremy: We're fine. But, if you are trying to be the good guy again, why don't you do the right thing and give us one day. Just one day without any vampires in it.(Jeremy leaves the room. Elena drops her paint roller in a trough and walks towards Stefan.)
Elena: He didn't mean that.
Stefan: Yeah, yeah he did.(The doorbell rings.)I'll get that.(Stefan goes downstairs and answers the door. Damon is holding Bonnie by the arm. She has a bite mark on her neck which is still dripping blood.)
Damon: We have a problem.
