Klaus stared furiously at Marilyn, "have you completely lost it?"

"She is family Nik. I am going to save her. You should leave with Rebekah. I've already phoned Elijah and Kol. Fortunately their tour didn't take them far away from the city. Join them. I'll be there soon."

"Love he is dangerous." Klaus tried reasoning with her. "You can die. Can't you see you are putting yourself in danger here."

"I understand Nik. But it's Caroline."

"Don't go yourself. Send someone else."

"I plan to." said Marilyn with a wink.

No sooner than later, Marilyn pushed open the front door to the Gilbert residence alarming the occupants. "Hello there." She greeted them with a malignant smile.

The Salvatore brothers were standing by the kitchen island where Bonnie sat still dressed in clothes from the decade dance.

"Caroline is stuck inside the classroom with a ruthless killer. Mind telling me your plan of action. You know just so I can tell you how horribly wrong you are and what it is that can be done instead."

"Why do you care about her anyway? Shouldn't you be off following Klaus?" Damon tried bossing Marilyn which was a proven mistake.

"I care about Caroline Forbes because you don't give a rats ass about her." She told them calmly, glaring at Damon. "Are we going to plan on saving her or should I try some other form of persuasion?"

Stefan interfered moving to stand between Damon and Marilyn. "Elena's not here. Alaric has her and Caroline and he's gonna kill them both unless Klaus turns himself over."

"Now, I know you're not asking me to walk into a certain death." Klaus conveyed from the threshold to the house.

"I really wish we could. But unfortunately, if Alaric kills you there's a one in four chance that we die too." Stefan replied moving to walk out on the porch of the house.

"I'll take those odds." Damon noted approaching them.

"And a hundred percent chance that Tyler dies."

"I'm good with that too." Damon responded.

"If you are so enthusiastic about dying I would love to volunteer?" sassed Marilyn crossing her arms.

Stefan raised a hand to stop her, "Why don't we just figure out a way to put Alaric down?"

"Okay, how about Damon sneaks in and distracts Alaric, while Stefan grabs Elena and carries her to safety?"

"Huh, that's a great idea. What's to stop me from getting killed instantly?"

"Nothing." Klaus offered a deviant smile along with it. Bonnie walked out of the house with an idea clearly in her head based on her expression.

"I might have an idea. My mom used a desiccation spell on Mikael that immobilized him for over 15 years. If I can get it, I might be able to use it on Alaric."

"If and might? Your words inspire such confidence."

"I'll get it. But even with the spell, we'll need a lot of vampire muscle to take him down. Including yours." Bonnie spoke.

"He is not going anywhere." Marilyn I'll save Caroline."

"What about Elena?"

"I'm sure her two lovers are more than capable and quite motivated to rescue her themselves. If not, I regret to say it but you two are as useless as a pimple." Marilyn commented with a witty grin dangling on her lips.
