Mercy ▼ Inanna Gilbert

The Bitch

I walked down the stairs.

Someone knocked on the door.

I opened the door.

It's Bonnie.

Hi

Hey. I couldn't sleep last night. You were obviously upset about something and I just walked away. It's not me. That can't be us. You're my friend, Inanna. If you need me I'm here for you and I'm sorry I couldn't show you that yesterday

I met my birth mother

Oh. Was it...Are you okay?

I started to cry and shook my head.

Bonnie embraced me

third person POV

In a classroom, Bonnie is leafing through Emily's spell book. Elena and Inanna enters the room.

Hey! Thanks for meeting me. I wanted you to see this

Is that Emily's spell book? Elena asked

I've been going through it since Grams died. Check this out.

Bonnie shows them the book.

That's the vampire compass Inanna pointed out

Yeah, according to Emily, Jonathan Gilbert never actually succeeded in inventing anything. Emily secretly spelled them all with magic. Compass, rings and the mystery device you told me about.

She shows them a page from the book. The device is designed.

Yeah that's it. Well, a part of it. Damon only has the one piece

Emily pledged her loyalty to Katherine. But she couldn't stand by and watch innocent people get killed. This was the only way she could think of to help. To let Jonathan Gilbert believe that he'd actually invented these devices

Does it say what it does?

Bonnie reads the page.

Are you sure this is what Isobel wants?

Yeah, I'm sure. Why?

This is a weapon. Against vampires.

Outside, Jeremy is walking and sees Inanna

Inanna!

Hey, have you seen Stefan? I need to find him

No, not lately. Listen, do you have a second?

Yeah. What's up? What's going on?

Well, it's Anna. I've left her all this messages and she hasn't gotten back to me, not even a text

Anna? I didn't know that you guys were still friends

We're more than friends. Look, something could be seriously wrong and if you know anything you've got to tell me

I haven't talked to her, Jer

Are you lying to me right now?

Why do you say that?

Cause that's what you do. Lying. You lie about everything. I know what Anna is and I know that you know. So tell me, do you have any idea where she is?

No, but Jer...Jeremy wait! Jeremy!

She turns around and Isobel is standing right behind her.

Isobel. What are you doing here?

I'm your mother, Inanna. I want to be more involved in your life

A little late for that don't you think?
I don't want you in my life

I understand that. You already have a lot of people that you care about but I've been studying. Let's see if I got this right.

She looks at Bonnie.

There is the witchy best friend, Bonnie. Gonna stay away from that one.

She looks at Jeremy.

Oh...sad little brother Jeremy.

She watches Caroline.

And there's Caroline...obnoxious Caroline. I got all of my info from her by the way. She had no idea who I was and she wouldn't stop yapping. Oh...

She looks at Matt.

And there's Matt, friend, Lots of connections there

Matt is not involved in this

He's involved with you, isn't he?

Look, you shouldn't be here. You need to leave

No, I have some friends here too. Look, you see that man over here, standing next to Matt by the Float? His name is Frank, he's very handsome and he's also quite handy and he'd noticed that the axles are a little rusty which is very dangerous. So, all you have to do is apply a little bit of pressure and...

No!

Frank jumps on the trailer above Matt. Matt's arm gets crushed. Inanna tries to run for him, Isobel grabs her.

Get this trailer! Come on guys help me!

Tyler rushes to help him with some friends. They try to remove the trailer. Stefan arrives to help lift. They remove the trailer. Matt gets free. Caroline rushes to see Matt.

Caroline, call an ambulance

Why are you doing this?

I'm showing you how easy it is to hurt the people that you care about

And you're doing this just because of Jonathan Gilbert's invention?

Hand it over and all will be stop

I told you, Damon is not going to give it to me

I think that you underestimate how much Damon cares about you

He'll kill you before he gives it up

Is that before or after I kill your brother Jeremy?

Inanna turns to see Jeremy. He has disappeared.

Jeremy?

Stefan looks at her.

Jeremy?!

Inanna looks everywhere. Isobel is gone too.

This bitch!
