No more bruises

Macy sat watching Damon as he tried to get into the coffin with his shovel. Clearly not working.

"That's not gonna work yanno." Macy said as Stefan walked into the room, Damon rolled his eyes as usual then turned to look at the pair

"Did you bury the body?" Stefan asked

Damon threw the shovel on the floor and raised his hands in the air as a sign of defeat.

"Yeah, any sign of our little hybrid buddies?" He asked

"Nope just the dead one." Stefan replied. Macy leant back in her chair, arms crossed, watching the 2 brother trying to figure out what's in the coffin.

"Did Elijah ever tell you anything?" Stefan brought macy out of her daydream and she shrugged

"Not really, our relationship was mostly just sex." She replied, getting up, walking to the coffin

"Bonnie thinks that whatever is in there can help us kill klaus, let's hope she's right." Macy said and Damon turned to her

"You'd think if the spirit of dead witches can make the coffin invisible that they figured out how to open one." Damon shouted the last part to the dead witches in the building

"Fine, don't help, you know none of this is gonna do us any good if klaus hybrids find our hiding spot right?" Stefan said to Damon and he replied in his usual sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, great idea Stefan, why don't you ask him to pack a bag and take a long vacation while your at it?"
Damon got closer to Stefan

"How about you keep the peace? Don't draw attention to the things we're trying to hide."

"We're not gonna play defence when we have the things that Klaus wants. He does what I say or I dump his family at the bottom of the ocean." Stefan replied

"Then he kills you and everyone you know, like I don't know, me." Damon said and macy rolled her eyes

"So self absorbed." She muttered and Damon scoffed

"Says reckless raven over there." He replied

"Look, he's bluffing. His family means more than anything else to him." Stefan said

"You sure about that?" Damon asked and macy smirked walking to the two

"Well there's only one way to find out, call his bluff." She said smirking and Damon shook his head

"The only way to call someone's bluff is to risk losing everything if your wrong." Damon said and macy shrugged

"I have lost everything." Macy said as Stefan made his way to the exits, macy following.

They both vamp sped to klaus known location, his new house that he was building from the ground up.

"Are we just gonna pounce on him?" Macy said as Stefan shook his head

"Calling him bluff remember, not killing him."

Macy rolled her eyes as they both entered the house, sneaking their way around until they found klaus drinking a glass of wine. Stefan leant on the door frame and macy stool tall, staring down the original hybrid.

"I thought either of you would've left town?" Klaus said looking between the two

"You both have freedom, you could've gone anywhere." Klaus said

"My freedom, you killed me, and you didn't even have to kill me." Macy said and klaus smiled

"I live here." Stefan said

"Well, if we're playing this game, I was here first." Klaus said coming closer to them

"You know, I don't like your hybrid friends, their everywhere, kinda like fleas." Stefan said, standing up from the doorway and sauntering over to klaus

"We want them gone." Macy said staying in her position

"Yeah well, I kinda like having them around." Klaus pick up his bottle of wine and poured himself another glass

Klaus broke the intense stare that he had on Stefan

"You know, I'm hurt. I hoped that I'd free you and we'd picked up where we left off, but here you are, raging hunter behind, both guzzling vervain like the rest of them I'm sure." He said looking between the two

"So much for friendship." Klaus raised his glass taking a sip

"Friends don't strip friends of their free will." Stefan replied

"Oh yeah, granted that was a little extreme, I get a little moody. Just ask my siblings, speaking of whom, isn't it time you handed them over?"

"Klaus, get you hybrids out of mystic falls, or I'll get my overpowered Blair hunter, to do it herself." Stefan walked closer to klaus who then looked over at macy and she gave him a little wave

"You see, if you continue to threaten me, I'm gonna be forced to retaliate, kill people, and it's gonna get messy again." Klaus replied

"Do whatever you want, I don't really care." Stefan smiled "or you know what, maybe I do, maybe I care so much that I'll drop Elijah in the artic."

The switch twitched in macy. She didn't want them killing Elijah, she didn't want... macy shook her head and the switch stopped

"Still off" she muttered

"Maybe I'd be willing to lose one brother if it meant killing yours." Klaus replied

The switch jiggled again

"Is every okay?" One of klaus hybrids came into the room and stood just in front of macy

"Everything is okay Mindy, Stefan here was just failing to make his point."

As if on cue, macy lunged forward, switch still off and not a care in the world when using her knife to cut off the hybrids head.

Stefan looked back at macy then forward at klaus.

"Well one down, you may wanna send the rest of them away before it gets messy, again." Stefan turned around, walking out the house. Macy saluted klaus mockingly and followed just behind Stefan
