Chapter 17: Break On Through

Alaric lays in the operating room, as he was getting ready for an exam as Elena, Meredith, and Samathea were in the other room, looking into the operating room. "What are you looking for?" Elena asks her, "I don't know, a terbium, a vesper abdominal. Anything physical that can explain his behavior, if it's medical, I can treat it." she informs her, "And if it isn't medical?" Samathea asks her, Meredith looks at her. "Well, then we'll deal with that too," Meredith informs her, they both nod and look back at Alaric as he then slid into the operator. He then looks up at the mirror, "When did you first suspect him? That it was Alaric killing all those people?" Elena asks and Meredith looks at her, "It was after he told me about his ring. I remember a story that my grandmother told me about the original Samantha Gilbert and her secret journal. I don't know if you know this, but we Fells are notorious busybodies." Meredith informs her, making Elena scoff a little.

"But then why did you protect him?" Elena asks him and Meredith sighs, "Because I'm a doctor, I don't like to see someone hurt over something they have no control over and because when he and I first met, I felt like... I don't know... I just kinda want to help him." she answers her and Elena nods, but then Samathea stiffens as she saw Samantha standing next to the tube and was looking at Samathea with calm and sane eyes and was dress properly.

Samathea looks away from her as Alaric was loaded into the operator, he looks up at his reflection, seeing it was looking right back at him. He started to panic and then tries to look away from his reflection. "Is everything alright in there?" Meredith said over the comm, Alaric closes his eyes and for a moment and looks at his reflection. "Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine," he answers her. Samathea looks back into the room and that her grandmother Samantha was gone and she exhales. Then Elena looks at her "Sam, you alright?" she asks and Samathea looks at her, she forces herself to smile. "Yeah, I'm fine," she answers and they look back at the room, then Samathea stops smiling. "Perfectly fine."

Later after the operation, Alaric was in the patent's room, gathering his things then Elena and Samathea walk into the room. "Meredith says everything's normal." Elena states. Alaric nods "Yeah, well everything's normal because there is nothing wrong with me. I didn't kill Brian Walters, I didn't kill Bill Forbes and me as sure as hell didn't shove a hunting knife into my stomach." Alaric reports to him, making the two shift a little. But then he looks down at the ring on the table, doubtful of his own words and then looks back at them. "Or I did and I've gone insane, just like your ancestor... wore that ring," he states, Samathea sighs and brushes back her hair. "Look, I am going to call Bonnie, the rings are made by a Bennett witch so maybe a witch can revere the damage." Elena states and then Alaric held out the ring to them.

Samathea looks at it, "Take it. I don't want it anymore." he begs them, Samathea exhales and then took the ring from him, looking down at it. Then Damon walks into the room, "You ready to ditch this house of horrors?" he jokes, making Samathea rolls her eyes at him and clutch the ring in her hand. "Oh, you look terrible." he jokes more and Alaric scoffs "Yeah, let me- let me check out of here," he tells him and walks out of the room. Damon looks at the twins and saw they weren't happy to see him and then storms out of the room.

Damon then follows them outside, "Don't worry about him, I'll take him out for chicken soup get him a Martinez and make sure he won't kill anybody." Damon informs them as he walks after him. "What is wrong with you, how could you go out feeling like some vampire pub crawl?" Elena questions and Damon rolls his eyes. "Oh right, I'd thought we were talking about Alaric." he throws at them, Elena was a the door as Samathea stops and clutches the ring some more. "But of course we're talking about Stefan." Damon throws out, then Samathea turns to him. "You stood there and let him feed on that innocent girl." she snaps at him and Elena turns seeing the two of them going toe to toe. "I didn't let him do anything if you're going to get nit-picky about it. I made him." Damon informs her,
