Vampire Diaries (Aria Gilbert )

Down the rabbit hole

*Island,Vaughn has Damon tied up to a tree with ropes soaked in vervain around his neck, waist, and feet. Vaughn crouches over a campfire while Damon struggles against his bonds, groaning in pain.*
Vaughn: Something botherin' you?
Damon: Would you believe me if I said mosquitoes?
Vaughn: Aye, I would. How does it feel when a relentless eating machine is draining the blood from your veins?
Damon: Itchy.
Vaughn: Your friends from Mystic Falls think you're funny, Damon?
Damon: You obviously know who I am and where I'm from. Have you been spying on me?
Vaughn: Aye, I have. (gets up)You and Stefan, Elena, your two witches, Bonnie and Aria. Do you need them to cast the spell written on your pal, Jeremy's hunter's mark...(sits down again)...the tattoo that looks exactly like this?(Damon looks at Vaughn's tattoo.)
Damon: You wanna know something, just ask.
Vaughn: I've been killing vampires my entire life. Still, this thing refused to reveal itself to me. That was, until three days ago and it just magically completed for no apparent reason.
Damon: Come on, man. Do I look like I know anything about tattoos? Look at my skin. It's flawless.
Vaughn: Ah! You're not taking me seriously. (walks over to Damon) I don't blame ya. You don't know me. (He holds up a pointy wooden stick that he's been holding over the fire) So let me introduce myself. (he stabs Damon's neck with it)My name is Galen Vaughn, and you'd better start talkin'.

*Elena, Stefan, and Rebekah are on the beach. Elena is on the phone with Caroline.*
Caroline: (over the phone)Tell me you're not serious.
Elena: I wish I weren't.

*Cut to the Gilbert house, where Caroline is on the phone while Klaus was sitting in the living room. *
Elena: (over the phone)When we got back from looking for Jeremy, Shane and Bonnie were gone too and then Aria got kidnapped by some witch or invisible thing. Shane needs Bonnie and Aria to cast a spell on Jeremy's tattoo in order to find the cure, and he managed to sneak them both and Aria out from under our noses.
Caroline: Well, where's Damon in all this?
Elena: (over the phone)We had an argument. I thought he was just taking a walk, but then when we went to the beach, we saw signs of a struggle.
Caroline: Meaning what?
Elena: Meaning somebody probably jumped him and then grabbed him!
Caroline: Do you think Shane took him?
Elena: No, I mean, he's not strong enough to take Damon on, even with the element of surprise. He must have someone, or at least a few someones helping him.
Caroline: I'm so sorry. I wish I was there to help.
Elena: Well, maybe there's something you can do from home.
Caroline: Anything. Tell me.
Elena: So Shane's looking for the cure. We think we can find him. We have pictures of Jeremy's tattoo, but we just can't translate the map.
Caroline: Unless you get the Hunter's Sword from Klaus.
Elena: (over the phone)Exactly.
Klaus:(he walks over towards Caroline and grabs the phone) well just send the pictures to Caroline and I'll be happy to help.
Elena: really?
Klaus: if it will help you find Aria then yes.(Caroline grabs her phone back)
Caroline: I can't believe I am saying this but just do what Klaus said, e-mail me photos of Jeremy's tattoo. I'll find the sword, and I'll call you back.
Elena: Thank you, Caroline.
Caroline: Bye. (she hangs up.)

*Gilbert Residence*
Klaus: (smirking)Need my help with the sword, love?
Caroline: Nope. I know it's in your house so I'll just—
Klaus: well why don't I go with you.
Caroline: no thank you,you just stay here. (Caroline strides out of the house without looking at Klaus, leaving him looking slightly amused.)

*Island,Shane, Bonnie, Jeremy,Aria, and Massak are walking towards the cave entrance, Shane leading the way. Inside, they reach the hole they have to climb down into.*
Massak: This is as far as I go.
Prof. Shane: We're on the brink of a monumental event in human history. We're going to raise the most powerful immortal creature that ever was. Come on, our work's not done yet.
Massak: Mine is. You said get the kid and the two witches. I did. I wanna get paid now.(Shane opens his bag and pulls out the tombstone. He walks over and hands it to Massak. Massak looks over at Bonnie,Aria and Jeremy.) I'll say a prayer for your souls.(Massak leaves but is suddenly stopped.) what the—
Aria: let me pray for yours. (She then waves her hand and snaps his neck) oops.
Bonnie:Aria!
Aria:what? He kidnapped us! He deserves what he got but I'll be taking the tombstone.(she grabs it as Bonnie turns to Shane.)
Bonnie: (angrily)That's what the tombstone was for? To pay off a mercenary?
Prof. Shane: The core of that tombstone is made up of Qetsiyah's calcified blood. In some witch circles, that stone's more valuable than the Hope Diamond.
Aria: well in that case,I'll keep it.
Prof. Shane: So...so who wants to go down first?
Aria: How about you.(she pushes him and he gasps as he almost falls but Aria grabs him by the shirt and throws him into the ground as Shane looks at her; sarcastically) oops careful Shane, you almost fell
Prof. Shane: you can't kill me Aria,because I am the only one who can keep Bonnie—
Aria: yeah,yeah, so you keep saying but what's stoping me from doing so? I mean I killed your witch and I was only doing what he wanted because I was looking for an opportunity to get rid of him.(she looks at Professor Shane) and now that I did...
Prof.Shane: Bonnie will—(Aria suddenly grabs him by the neck)
Aria:I am sure I can find another way to save Bonnie. I am done playing by your rules,now we play by mine. (She then throws him towards the ground and then looks at Bonnie) here's the new plan,we will go down,grab the cures and get out
Bonnie: I like that plan.
