APPARENTLY KATHERINE HAD KICKED SILAS'S ASS AFTER CHARLIE DIED. The Lockwood was not sure how she felt about owing her life to Katherine motherfreaking Pierce. Actually, she hated it, so she decided to just not acknowledge it at all.
Charlie's house was so big that she had completely forgotten that Matt was living there too. That was until Matt asked her and Jeremy to come to his room. They were about to walk out the front door and to the Donovans' old house when he called after them from the top of the stairs.
Once they made it into the guest room — Matt refused to sleep in Tyler's or Charlie's parents' room — Matt began explaining. He pulled a cloth out of a desk drawer, and when he unwrapped it, he revealed a knife. "So, I woke up last night covered in mud with this."
"Okay. Weird," Jeremy muttered, and he took the dagger from his friend to examine it.
He stepped toward his girlfriend so that she could look over his shoulder. It seemed like a pretty ordinary knife. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked up at her roommate. "How did we not know any of this was going on until now?"
"Well, last night, you two were...occupied," he answered, and both of them made 'oh's with their mouths and looked down at the ground, remembering the events of the night before very vividly. The blonde boy coughed awkwardly before continuing. "Yeah, it's weird. I have no idea where it came from. I blacked out, and I'm pretty sure that it's not the first time."
"How many times have you died wearing the Gilbert ring?" the Gilbert boy questioned, remembering how Alaric went on a killing spree and had a lot of blackouts after he died too many times.
"No. I don't think it's the Gilbert ring that's messing with me. No. Like, it's got to have something to do with why Silas couldn't mind-control me," he explained to them. Silas had also snapped his neck before he did the same to Charlie, but luckily, the Donovan boy was wearing the Gilbert ring. "He saw something or someone or whatever that Czech freak put in my head, but I think it's still there."
Charlie had not failed to notice the video camera set up in the corner of the room, and she was almost scared to ask what the hell it was for. She knew that it was not there before Matt moved in. "What's with the camera?"
