"It's impossible," Alexia says over the phone with Elena.

"No, Meredith is right. He killed those people. It's his ring that made him do it. He cheated death, Lex. Too many times." Elena explains as Alexia sighs.

"Okay.. what did Meredith say?"

"She thinks it can be a tumor. That it can be fixed," Meredith says as Alexia pass a hand through her hair.

"Mhm.. okay. You're at the hospital right now?" Alexia asks her.

She can feel her nods her head, "yeah. Meredith is going to give me the results, right now."

"Okay, I'm coming now." She hangs up.

Elena and Alexia walks in Alaric's hospital room to see him walking around.

"Meredith says everything is normal," Elena tells him.

He takes his phone and puts it in his pocket, "well, everything is normal because there is nothing wrong with me. I didn't kill Brian Walters, I didn't kill Bill Forbes, and I sure as hell didn't shove a hunting knife into my stomach."

"Stubborn," Alexia says under her breath.

Elena exhales, as Alexia gives him a look.

Alaric looks at his ring, "or maybe I did.. And I've gone insane just like your ancestor who.. wore that ring."

"Look, I'm gonna call Bonnie. The rings were made by a Bennett witch," Elena says. "So maybe a witch can reverse the damage."

Alaric looks at his ring before pushing it to Elena, "take it. I don't want it anymore."

"So, don't be suicidal anymore." Alexia smiles softly at him.

"True."

Elena takes the ring as Damon walks in, "you ready to ditch this house of horrors?" Damon asks Alaric.

"You're the clown in this house of horror," Alexia rolls her eyes.

"I don't get the joke," Ron says as Hermione gives him a look.

"He said ready to leave this house of horror speaking like doctors were clowns. So, Alexia said that he was the only clown in the hospital, you got it?" Hermione asks him as Ron nods.

He ignores her, "ooh, you look terrible," he whines at Alaric.

He chuckles, "yeah. Let me check out of here." He walks away.

"I don't want to be between your sexual tension.. so I'll probably go," Alexia says pointing at the door before walking away.

"I feel like they're both hiding something from me," Alexia sighs passing her hand through her hair.

"Why would you think that?" Derek asks over the phone.

"Simple. Rebekah is always everywhere! Every days she's at the place where everyone is. It there's a party, she's there, if not, she's at the Grill." Alexia sighs. "And I mostly see Klaus mornings and nights. Not between."
