*Gilbert Residence,Elena lies in her bed. She is breathing hard and can't seem to get to sleep. She gets up and goes to the kitchen. She places a glass of milk in the microwave and warms it up.*
Connor: Can't sleep?(Elena turns around frightened, but sees no one there. The microwave beeps, making Elena jump. She opens the door and takes the cup out. She turns around and sees Connor leaning on the counter. She gasps.)You know it makes sense; guilty conscience.
Elena: You're not here. I'm – I've got to be dreaming.
Connor: And how do you know that I'm not here?(He starts walking towards Elena. Elena walks backwards, trying to keep distance between them.)
Elena: Because you're...
Connor: Go on, say it.
Elena: Because you're dead.
Connor: Yes, I am. Was that the first time that you've taken a human life?
Elena: You're a ghost. That's gotta be it. You're a ghost, that's what's happening right now. Jer...Jeremy. Jeremy! Aria!(Upstairs, Jeremy and Aria had heard Elena call for them and they woke up.)You're a ghost; you're haunting me. You're a ghost; you're haunting me.
Connor: Can a ghost do this?(Connor grabs Elena in a chokehold and strangles her. Elena thrusts her elbow into his stomach and releases herself from his grasp. She pushes him, sending Connor flying across a table. Connor gets up and starts to walk back towards Elena. Elena grabs a knife and stabs Connor in the neck. She removes the blade from his neck and sees that she has just stabbed Aria, not Connor. Jeremy takes the knife away from Elena) Oh my god!
Jeremy: Elena! Snap out it! It is just me and Aria.
Aria: what...the hell Elena...(she falls to the ground, Elena goes down with her. She is in tears.)
Elena:Oh my god,Oh my god,Oh my god! Am so sorry Aria!
Jeremy:(he hugs Elena trying to calm her down) hey,it's ok,she's going to come back.(Elena just hugs Jeremy while still crying)

*Later in the morning, Aria is lying dead on the couch. Elena is pacing in front of her while Jeremy is standing beside Aria,watching Elena pace around. Damon is in the room with them*
Elena:I can't believe this happened. What am I going to say to her?
Damon:The same thing you told Jeremy.
Jeremy:Actually she hasn't told me anything.
Damon: oh? Then just say thanks for not stabbing me back or sending me flying?(Elena glares at him) You should have called Stefan.
Elena:I don't want to talk to him. He's been lying to me and hiding things from me. He compelled Jeremy to forget God knows what.
Damon: In all fairness, I mean, I think you killing him kinda trumps that. And you should have called Stefan.
Elena: I don't trust him right now, Damon.(Stefan walks in the house. Elena and Damon look at him.)
Stefan: Hey.
Damon: PS, I called Stefan.(Stefan walks over to Elena.)
Stefan: What happened? Why did you call me?
Elena: I just - I need to go upstairs and shower. Clean all the blood off my hands.(Elena walks out of the room. Aria comes back to life groaning and rubbing her neck)
Aria: ugh! I should have sent her flying.(Damon snorts)
Damon:(to himself) I know you so well.
Jeremy:(he hugs her) am glad you're ok?
Stefan: Welcome back. How are you feeling?
Aria: What happened?
Damon: Long story, short. Elena killed you.
Aria:Well duh,I know that part,I want to know why.(Stefan walks up the stairs and into Elena's room. Elena is changing into a robe. She sees Stefan but walks past him.)
Stefan: Elena. Hey. Listen, I know you're still upset about yesterday and I get it, believe me, but just let me help you.
Elena: I don't want your help right now, Stefan.
Stefan: But you'll accept Damon's?(Elena turns and looks at Stefan.)
Elena: Don't make this about Damon. You've been working with Klaus doing God knows what, and don't insult me by trying to deny it.
Stefan: Listen, it's not what you think, okay?
Elena: I don't know what to think, but I do know that I don't want to talk to you and I don't really wanna be around you right now.(Elena walks past him again. Stefan grabs her arm.)
Stefan: Please just...(Elena rips her arm out of his grasp.)
Elena: No! (Elena shows him her hands.)This is my sister's blood on my hands, Stefan. I stabbed her in the neck last night. So forgive me if I'm not in the mood to listen to you try to talk your way out of this.(Elena walks into the bathroom and shuts the door. Stefan looks hurt.)
