Chapter 19: Heart of Darkness

Elena and Samathea walk down to the to the cellar, Samathea was holding a bag over her shoulder and Elena opens the door to the cell and walks in as Alaric was sitting on the bed, "You know, you two shouldn't be here." Alaric informs them, the then walk into the room, "Defeats the whole, lock in a cellar thing." he states, Samathea smirks a little and toss the bag at the foot of the bed. "Well, you still need the basics." Elena informs him and looks into the bag, "Toothbrush, clothing and some boring books to help you sleep." Samathea informs him and he looks at one of them.

Then but as the twins, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" he asks and Samathea looks at him "What, no I grab-" she starts and looks at the book as she took it from him, then he leans back, "Damon." she sighs and drops the book back into the bag, "Thinks he's a hilarious." she mutters and turns for a moment. "At least one of us still has a sense of humor." Alaric tells her and she looks at him with a worried look, "Are you sure? I mean you don't have to be here." Elena asks him, "Oh no, this is... this is the right place for me to be." he answers her and sat up a little. "Unless you can convince my highly uncooperative alter ego to fess up to where I or... he hid the white oak stake." he informs her, Samathea sighs and crosses her arms, "We look everywhere. You... or the darker you hid it very well." Samathea informs him.

Then Alaric sighs and looks up at them, "What's Klaus going to do if he found out about it?" he asks then and Samathea shrugs as she throws her arms down. "It's the only thing that's going to kill him, so he'll wage wars, murder people, turn more people. You know, Klaus stuff." Samathea answers as she leans against the wall and Elena against the chair. Alaric looks down, "Listen." Elena states and moves the chair closer to him and sat down. "Stefan and I are going to watch over you for a little while. Now that Klaus knows where Jeremy is. It's not safe for him." Elena states and Samathea walks up to them, "So Damon and I are going to go pick him up." she states and he looks up at her, "Why are you saying like I would disapprove?" he asks her, "I don't know, maybe I want you to. You know, me and Damon traveling to Devourer, alone." Samathea said in a worried tone. "Well, I guess I'm more curious about what Stefan and you Elena had to say about this," Alaric tells him, the twins look at each other and back at him. "It was Stefan's idea." they both answered and he raises his eyebrows at them. Then Samathea leans against the chair.

"Stefan thinks I have some unresolved feelings for Damon." Samathea states and looks at him, "And do you?" he asks her, she looks at him as she couldn't find the words to answers him, but blinks her eyes a few times. "I honestly don't know what I feel, guess that's why I'm going on this trip, so I can figure it out for myself," Samathea tells him then looks to the side.

Stefan was standing in front of the fire, lost in his thoughts, then Damon walks out as he sets his back next to the others, "You hear from Klaus?" he asks him, Stefan looks over his shoulder at him. "Not yet, but I'm sure I will soon though." Stefan answers and turns to his brother. "I can't deliver the 'Last stake' when one's missing." Stefan informs him, showing him his stake, "Well, that is our advantage, why else would Sam lie to Klaus, even when he tried to compel her." Damon throws out. "I'll get the whereabouts of the last stake out of Alaric, I just need some time," Stefan informs him. "I like that confident Stefan. I don't share it, but I like it." Damon tells him and walks back to the bag.

"You know what they'll do, no matter what it takes." Stefan reminds him, then Damon turns to him, "Well you'll good Stefan again, you're in control. I'm sorry you might not get the girl you want if you lose the ledge." Damon teases, but Stefan nods a little, "Speaking of." Damon states and on cue, Samathea and Elena walk into view and they look at the brother, Damon then looks at Samathea. "Have you ever flown first class?" he asks her with a smirk. "Who did you have to compel to do that?" she questions him as Elena walks down next to Stefan. Damon then scoffs at Samathea's remark, "Please, I use Miles." he answers her and walks to the bags.
