WARNINGS: Assisted Suicide; Violence; Major Character Death

Elion was working on making more wooden bullets. He carved sigils into them and soaked them in wolfsbane and vervain water.


Because of this, he had to wear gloves. While he worked, the events of last week ran through his mind.


Tyler leaving to stay with Mason. Hunting down a pack for werewolves. Klaus's arrival. The dance. Bonnie supposedly dying. Tyler returning to Mystic Falls. Etcetera.


So much has happened these past few days. And the yet is worst to come.


With Klaus's arrival, they had to be prepared for anything. His parents were on board with killing Klaus.


Except, he hasn't seen Katherine. Elion assumed she must've either left town or was taken. He concurs it to be the latter.


Probably by that goddamn hybrid!


"What are you working on," Jeremy asked, bringing him back to awareness.


"Bullets. Hopefully, they'll be enough to kill a hybrid," Elion said, plopping another bullet into the water mixture.


"What's with the carvings," Jeremy asked, sitting next to him.


"Sigils. A mark that is capable of holding a spell," Elion said, handing him a bullet that hasn't been soaked yet.


"I thought vampires can't be witches," Jeremy said.


"They can't," Elion explained, "The water I'm using gives the sigil its power. No witch needed."


"You know a lot about this stuff," Jeremy said.


"Studied it," Elion muttered, carving another sigil into a bullet, "Want to try?"


Elion handed an extra pocket knife to Jeremy.


"Be careful with it. Don't want you to hurt yourself," Elion said, watching him carve the same sigil into the bullet.


He returned his attention back to the bullet in his hand.


"Elion, is my sister going to die," Jeremy asked.


Elion paused his carving to look at Jeremy.


"Not if I can help it," Elion said, "I'll do whatever it takes to keep all of you alive."


"Are we ready," Damon asked.


"Just about. Have you heard from Caroline," Elion asked, carefully plucking the bullets from the water.


"She's picking up Tyler," Damon said.


"Good. They need to get out of town as soon as possible," Elion said, loading his guns.
