"We are going to try and mock him? Is that the best we can do?" Caroline asked with venom, she dislikes Void. Void took appearance of her best friend, the person she trusted most with secrets and favours. Now Void knows things that he can hold against her. "Mocking him will only end up him with one of us dead." Matt pointed out.

"True, that's why we don't mock him, we, uh, be friendly towards him." Stefan said,as if it was the most obvious thing. "What and that's our next move?" Elena asked, scoffing as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. Suddenly the Salvatore door slammed open, as the Mikaelson entered making the gang jump or in Damon's case expecting the unexpected.

"Firstly, that is the worse plan that I ever heard and I have heard about ten dozen plans that fell flat on it's face." Kol started as Klaus rolled his eyes, "Second of all, we don't even know where Void is, god knows he could be butchering a dozen of people in the next town over."

"Or maybe he is in town." Matt piped up, "He's at the park, I saw him when I passed the park when I was coming over." Kol shot Matt a dirty look before grumbling how much he wanted to kill the blond bus boy. "Great, so what do we do? Just go up to him and play friendly?" Katherine asked, "Because I know that doesn't work."

"Or we could scatter around the park, keeping an eye out for him. One or two of us go up to him and talk." Rebekah suggested, it seems like Rebekah was basically doing all her ideas to save her brother.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, "All right. Caroline you go first." Damon said, standing up, as Caroline looked at him surprised, "Why me?" Damon looked at her with a raise eyebrow, "because you're Erik's best friend so that mean Void can't hurt you. If it doesn't work we can get the Old family to talk to him."

"So I am basically playing bait?" Damon smiles and nods to the side, "Kind of."

Void was chilling under the tree, looking at the people. He spotted Stefan, Damon and Elena having a picnic. Matt and Bonnie were having a stroll while Klaus and Kol were acting nice to each other by throwing a football to each other. Rebekah was relaxing while Elijah was reading next to her. Katherine was no where to be seen but obviously Void didn't know that Katherine was back in town. It, void, didn't know where Caroline was. It assumed that Alaric was back in his house marking papers.

"Hey." Void looked to see Caroline, who smiled fondly at the young original. "Hello, Caroline, come to join me?" Caroline's smile tightens as she stiffly nodded. Caroline dropped down and sat with a fair distant between them. Void tilted his head, "What a coincident that everyone is in the park."

Caroline stiffed slightly before looking at the sky, "It's a lovely weather," Void nodded agreeing with her silently, "I wouldn't be surprised if everyone just want to relax."

Erik smiled and ran his hand through his hair before leaning his head back against the tree, "What makes you come and accompany me? I mean I am just relaxing, doing Erik a favour, you know scoping out those attractive people," Void looked at Caroline, "you're one of the beautiful ones, love."

"I am spoken for." Caroline's tone was sharp as Void lets out a laugh.

"Ah yes, Tyler Lockwood. Very very attractive, like Damon Salvatore. Now Damon is hot. Like Tyler and Damon is hard to tell who is hotter." Void lets out a laughter, as Damon smirks toward Stefan, "What ever Erik says about Tyler is a lie."
