Chapter 18: The Murder of One

Samathea and Elena walk up to the Loft where Alaric stayed, "And you're sure, it's possible?" Elena asks Samathea, who nods at her, "Pretty sure, I mean. I took a picture of it right before I send Samathea's soul back to the afterlife." Samathea answers her. Elena nods and then they step to the door, Samathea knocks on it, "Are you sure you okay, nothing weird or strange has happened?" Elena asks her, Samathea looks at her and shook her head, "No, I haven't had any blackouts or lost moments of time and I'm not killing anyone." Samathea tells her and Elena exhales with relief, "I'm sorry to keep asking you, I'm just worried." she tells her, Samathea smiles, "Your my sister Elena, you're always going to worry about me." Samathea informs her and Elena smiles at her, then Damon answers the door.

The two look at him, "Morning sunshine." he smiles at them, "Hey how's Alaric?" Samathea asks as she went to look inside, but Damon blocks her view. "Indecent, but not." he answers and she looks at him, "So that means there were no issues last night?" Samathea asks him. "Nope slept like a baby, woke up Alaric and no one found dead council members." Damon answers her and then Elena sighs and gave Samathea the package, "I'm not going to deal with Damon right now, so Sam. I will meet you outside, once you're done talking with Damon." Elena informs her, Samathea took the package, "Okay, see ya in a bit." Samathea tells her and Elena walk down the stairs, then Samathea turns to him, not impress. "What are you up to?" she questions him, he scoffs a little at her. "What makes you think I'm hiding anything from you?" he asks her, she narrows her eyes at him. But he just smirks and took the bag from her.

"What did you bring me?" he asks, opens the bag and inhales the smell, "Oh, chocolate muffins. You know what they say, the only way to a psycho killer's heart is through his stomach." Damon states, then Samathea took the bag from him, "It's not for you, it's for Alaric." she informs him and closes the bag back up. "Fine, keep convincing yourself you're still mad at me." he informs her, she then looks at him, "But sadly Ric's going to have to miss Elena and Samathea time today. You know, lockdown and all." he informs her, she rolls her eyes, not even bothering on what was going on inside, "Just give this to Alaric and tell him that Elena and I miss him." she asks him, handing over the package, he took it, "With pleasure." he answers, "Please Damon." she asks him again, "Bye." he said and closes the door.

Samathea huffs and started her way down the stairs. "Walking down the stairs. Opening front door." Damon informs Alaric and Stefan as they had paused in their work on the Wickery bridge sign. "And they're gone," he said and the resume in their work.

Elena, Samathea, and Caroline walk through the woods as the twins inform Caroline of everything, "Alaric Saltzman killed my father?" she asks in a shocked tone. "We can't expect you to be okay with this, but the herbs that Bonnie gave him are healing him, keeping the darkness at bay." Elena informs her, "Yeah and that's supposed to make everything okay?" Caroline questions, but Samathea grips her arm and turns her to her. "No Caroline, it doesn't. Nothing about this is okay." he states and Caroline looks at her, "This is horrible, it's terrible beyond measures and I feel so horrible about it, but he's a victim of something supernatural, he didn't ask to get turn into a serial killing psychopath." Samathea tells her and Caroline scoff.

"This just happened to him, just like Jenna, she didn't ask to get turned into a vampire or sacrifice. Neither did Stefan or Taylor." Samathea went on, "Or me." Caroline throws in and Samathea rubs her arm. "Especially you." she agrees with her, "None of you ask for this, but who would Samathea and I be if we just turn our backs on any of you?" Elena asks her and Caroline steps in between them. "Oh Elena and Samathea Gilbert, saviors of the cursed and the damn," she states, wrapping her arms around theirs, making the two smile at her, then they were stopped by Matt. "Hey, what's with the cryptic secret meeting text?" he asks them and Samathea shrugs, "You got me." she answers, "I don't know, Stefan said to meet here." Elena answers then Stefan and Damon step out, "Where's Bonnie?" Stefan asks them. They turn to him, "I texted her too." he states, "Uh... Bonnie's mom bailed on her again, so maybe she would leave her out of this one." Caroline informs him and Samathea nods in agreement.
