Masquerade

"Here." Damon hands Caroline a cup with blood in it.

"I'm still shaking." She chuckles nervously.

"What happened?" Stefan asks right as he walks in.

"Go ahead, tell him," Damon tells her. "You're gonna love this."

"I saw Katherine today," she admits.

"What?" "Where?" Evelyn and Stefan question at the same time.

"At the grill. I just stopped to gawk and...quasi-stalk Matt," Caroline confesses.

Earlier Today

Caroline walks into the grill, stops, and smiles when she sees Matt. Matt looks up from the table he's cleaning and walks forward slightly.

"Do you need a table?" He asks.

"No, I, uh, I'm not staying." She shakes her head. "I just...needed to use the little girl's room." She chuckles nervously.

"Skip the teen drama and get to it," Damon interrupts her.

"Then I had to pretend to use the bathroom," she continues. "Even though I didn't really have to go cause I'm a doofus." She walks into the bathroom, looks in the mirror, and scoffs. Someone comes out of the restroom stall, and Caroline looks at the person through the mirror. "Elena?"

"Hey, I saw you with Matt. Are you okay?" She asks.

Caroline nods. "Yeah. You know. Whatever." Caroline tries to vamp out of the restroom, but Katherine quickly blocks the door.

"You're good. What gave me away? Was it the hair or was it my clothes?" Katherine questions, slowly walking towards her.

"I know Elena's at..." She backs Caroline into the toilet divider. "I know Elena's at home," she answers.

"I need you to deliver a message," Katherine tells her.

"What was the message?" Stefan asks.

"Tell Damon and Stefan that I want the moonstone, or I will rip this town apart until it rains blood," she threatens.

"Tell him the rest of it," Damon says.

"Tonight. At the masquerade ball," Kathrine adds.

"She wants to do it in public. Killing Mason threw her off guard," Stefan states before he starts pacing.

"She's running scared. What she did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks," Damon tells them.

"We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her." Stefan crosses his arms over his chest.

"Can't we just give her the moonstone, so she'll leave?" Caroline asks.

"We can't just hand her the moonstone," Evelyn replies as Damon speaks up. "No, Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball, and I'm going to kill her tonight."

"I like that plan better." Evelyn nods.

"You're not gonna kill her," Stefan tells Damon.

"Don't give me that goody-goody crap." Damon shakes his head.

"You're not gonna kill her," he declares.

"Oh, really?" Damon questions.

"Because I am." Stefan smiles, and Damon nods, satisfied with his words.

"Now, this works with compressed air. The trigger mechanism's here. I've got two of these in a different size. Now, for you, I recommend this." Ric puts a sleeve over his forearm containing two small stakes. "Fits nicely under a jacket sleeve. Here's the trigger when you're ready..." He pushed one of the triggers that held the stake before it flew out from the sleeve. He catches it in his hand before plunging it into the air, like he's staking a vampire. Damon leans back slightly before looking at him concerned. "You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire. So..." Damon nods.
