Anna is walking down the darkened corridors of the school. She stops at the end of one and sees Noah at the other end. Anna vamp speeds over to him. He looks down at her with a devilish smile.

Noah: What are you doing here?
Anna: Trying to get the journal, as in sticking to the plan, something you're not doing. [sighs] Leave the girl alone.
Noah: I like her. She looks like Katherine.
Anna: She's not Katherine. Ok, Katherine is in the tomb.
Noah: I know, but until we open that tomb, I got her to play with.
Anna: Don't be stupid. That girl is with the Salvatore brothers.
Noah: They don't scare me. They never have.
Anna: Please, Noah. Don't do this. You're gonna ruin everything.
Noah: You got nothing to worry about. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. You will get what you came for. Just let me have my fun. (says as if it's an acceptable excuse) She looks like Katherine.

Noah walks past Anna, placing his hood over his head.

Back out on the dancefloor, Damon has found a girl to dance with. He gropes her bottom and they glide across the dancefloor. Elena watches from the punch bowl with Stefan. She laughs and looks up at Stefan.

Elena: You really can't take him anywhere, can you?
Stefan: Uh, no.

Elena looks across the floor and sees Noah in his hoodie. She turns back to Stefan.

Elena: Stefan, the back corner.

Stefan looks in the corner.

Stefan: Get Damon.

Stefan quickly walks across the dancefloor, pushing students out of his way. The boy in the hoodie has exited the dance and walks down a crowded corridor into another darker corridor. Stefan enters the corridor and sees the boy turn the corner. Stefan jogs after him, then when they are in the darkened corridor, he vamp speeds over to the boy, grabs him by his hoodie and slams him into the lockers.

Boy: [without expression] What did I do?

Stefan looks at the boy, confused.

Stefan: Where is he?
Boy: I was getting a soda, and then this guy gave me his hoodie.

Stefan looks around, realizing he's been tricked into leaving Elena alone.

Elena walks across the dancefloor, searching for Damon. Her cell phone rings. She takes it out of her pocket and answers it.

Noah: Hello, Elena.

Elena pauses on the floor, terrified.

Noah: Here's what you're going to do.

Elena looks around her for the source of the call.

Noah: There's an exit door behind you. You have five seconds.
Elena: No.
Noah: Or Giselle and your brother dies.

Elena looks over at the punch bowl where Jeremy is serving punch. Elena sees Noah standing near him, on his phone with Elena.

Noah: I can snap his neck so fast I bet there's not even a witness. Now, start walking.
Elena: where's Giselle?
Noah: oh I kept her in a very special place.
Elena: [starts backing up towards the door] Better not have touch her and don't you dare touch him.
Noah: Keep walking. Through the door.

Elena keeps walking backwards across the floor. Noah starts walking past Jeremy. Elena, worried, continues to watch him, but Noah passes Jeremy without even touching him. Elena hangs up her phone and runs out the exit. Elena runs down the corridor, looking behind her to see if Noah is following. She turns into another corridor and comes to a set of doors. She attempts to open the doors but they are chained shut. She turns back around and sees Noah walking calmly towards her.
