Everyone had finished their and had started to move, when out of the corner of her eye, she seen Damon giving Andie a look, when suddenly she said "The gentlemen should take their drinks in the study"

Something wasn't right, she knew it. Damon was going to do something stupid. What? She didn't know

"I have to say" Elijah said as he got up to follow Damon "The food was almost as wonderful as the company" he said as he was looking at Andie, although his eyes flickered to Arabella who was already clearing the table

"I like you" Andie told him

Damon and Elijah left the room as Jenna handed some plates to John. Arabella felt a sense of unease as she watched the two men leave. She really hoped Damon wasn't as stupid as he was acting

Arabella took some dishes back to the kitchen and was about the wash them until her phone started buzzing in her back pocket. She pulled it out and seen the name 'Stef' written across the screen

"Hey Stefan" she said as she answered the call " What's wrong?"

"Damon's going to use the dagger on Elijah" he told her in a panic "It will kill him, you have to stop him"

Arabella hung up the phone and made her way to the study, muttering under her breath "I'm gonna kill him"

As she was making her way there she ran into Andie. She quickly grabbed her and started pulling her towards the room her ex husband and idiotic brother were in "You're gonna take Elijah to get dessert" she compelled her "Understand?" Andie nodded

They burst through the room "Gentlemen" she smiled sweetly, trying to seem that everything was okay "we forgot dessert"

Andie walked up to Elijah and held out her hand "Elijah"

He took her hand and put it around his arm, smiling "Miss Star" as they walk out, Elijah smiles lovely at Arabella

When they leave, Damon angrily hit Arabella around the head, who doesn't miss a second in punching him in the arm, her face red with anger. She quickly walks over to the desk and writes 'the dagger will kill you if you use it dumbass' on a piece of paper and shoves it into Damons chest. He reads it and throws it back at her and they both storm out of the room

When they get back to the dining room they take their seats and Damon glares as John, as he almost had him killed.

"Ric, would you do me a favour and grab the notebook out of my bag?" Andie asks as her and Elijah were conversing

"Elijah, did John tell you he's Elena's uncle-slash-father?" Damon asks him

Elijah nods "Yes, I'm well aware of that"

"She hates him" Arabella spoke up, causing Elijah to look at her "Everyone does, so there's no need to keep him on the endangered species list"

"No Ric, it's in the front pocket" Ric starts looking in a different part of the bag "On the... you know what? Excuse me, guys. Sorry" she gets up and starts looking for the book herself

"What I'd like to know, Elijah" John says as Arabella rolls her eyes "is how you intend on killing Klaus?"

"Gentlemen, there's a few things we should probably get clear on right now. I allow you to live solely to keep on eye on Elena" Arabella gives him a pointed look, to which he bows his head "And because she would kill me. I allow Elena to remain in her house, living her life with her friends as she does as a courtesy. If you become a liability, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again"

As he finishes talking, Andie walks back over with her notebook and sits down "Okay. My first question is when you got her to Mystic..." although she never got to finish her question as Elijah screams and his skin becomes grey, as Alaric stands behind his. Unbeknown to Arabella, who was too focused on her dead ex husband, Alaric pulls out the dagger and places it on the table then turn to Damon
