MYSTIC GRILL

Tyler walks in and sits down across from Caroline.

Tyler: Hey.

Caroline: Hey. What's wrong?

Tyler: This girl Mason knows stopped by the house. She said he never made it back to Florida. My mom is freaking out and she was on the phone with your mom when I left.

Echo glares at Tyler from across the room.

Tyler: I should get going

Caroline: Yeah

He stands up and walks away. Echo makes her way to the table and sits down beside her vampire who smiles at her laying her head on her shoulder, Echo kisses her softly on the side of the head.

GILBERT HOUSE

Stella appears in the living room where Elena is sitting on the couch

Stella: You should really lock the door. Oh come on, pouty. Give us a smile

Elena: Do you think this is funny?

Stella: If you mean your friends keeping you alive then yes, I find it very funny, Love.

She kneels down in front of her taking her hands in hers and lifts them to her lips. Elena shivers at the cold feeling.

Elena: How is Elijah still alive?

Stella: Normal stakes can't kill an Original, darling.

Elena: Tonight's the full moon

Stella stands up and sits down beside her, placing her hand on her thigh. Elena shutters at the cold feeling as she looks into her soulmate's eyes, Stella smiles warmly

Stella: I love you

Elena: I love you

MANSION

Echo enters the parlor and lifts her shirt over her head exposing her black lace bra not noticing her vampire eyeing her up and down, she looks away blushing.

Echo smirks turning to face her

Echo: Look all you want, darling. My body---

She trails her hands slowly up her body

Echo: Belongs to you and only you and yours belongs to me and only me.

She places her hands on her hips pulling her closer pressing their chests together, Caroline smiles throwing her around her chest pressing their lips together.

Caroline: I love you

Echo: I love you too, my darling.

GILBERT HOUSE

Elena and Elijah are in her bedroom

Elijah: Forgive the intrusion. I mean your family no harm.

Elena: Why did you kill those vampires when they tried to take me?

Elijah: Because I didn't want you to be taken. Klaus is the most feared and hated of the Originals, but those that fear him are desperate for his approval. If word gets out that the doppelgänger exists, there'll be a line of vampires eager to take you to him and I can't have that.

Elena looks over his shoulder where Stella is sitting in a chair, Elijah looks over his shoulder seeing no one

Elijah: I see. You can see Stella?

Elena: Yeah, only I can and until Echo showed up, Caroline could only see her

Elijah: Interesting. It appears you and Caroline are my sisters soulmates.

Elena: I know.

Elijah: Klaus' obsession has made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trusts only those in his immediate circle.

Stella lets out a loud scoff

Elena: Like you?

Elijah: Not anymore.

Elena: You don't know where he is, do you? So you're trying to use me to draw him out.

Elijah: Well, to do that I need you to stay put and stop trying to get yourself killed.

Stella: Finally something we agree on, isn't that right, Elijah?

Elijah: I'm here and I'm prepared to offer you a deal.

Elena: What kind of a deal?

Elijah: Do nothing. Do nothing, live your life, stop fighting and then, when the time is right, you and I shall draw out Klaus together and I shall make sure your friends remain unharmed.

Elena: And then what?

Elijah: Then I kill him.

Elena: Just like that?

Elijah: Just like that. I'm a man of my word, Elena. I make a deal, I keep a deal.

Elena: How are you gonna be able to keep everybody safe?

Elijah: I notice you have a friend; Bonnie, is it? She seems to possess the gift of magic. I have friends with similar gifts.

Elena: You know witches.

Elijah: Together, we can protect everybody that matters to you. So, do we have a deal?

Elena looks to Stella who smiles at her, nodding her head

Elena: We have a deal.

MANSION

A pile of blankets are laid on the floor with Caroline and Echo laying underneath one, Echo runs her fingers through her vampire's hair, twirling a lock around her finger. She presses her lips to her forehead

She looks down smiling when she sees her vampire is fast asleep.

Echo: I love you so much, Caroline.

She tightens her hold onto her pulling her closer and closes her eyes, falling asleep with her vampire in her arms.
