Meanwhile, at the Salvatore Boarding House

"Damon's been missing for a while." Stefan brought to the group's attention. Not much of the group seemed to care about his brother's whereabouts, but with a powerful family, and a powerful newly uncovered witch in town, it was best to keep everyone accounted for.

"He's probably out harassing some sorority girls." Elena offered, rolling her eyes. Ric shrugged. He was Damon's friend, sort of. And that did seem like a plausible answer to his disappearance.

"No, no, no. Damon likes to bring sorority girls home, so he can rub his vampireness in my face. He wouldn't just go off somewhere, especially in the middle of this...whatever... we're in the midst of with the Originals. He would call, or text, or leave a note written in blood. No. Somebody has him. And I'm sure we know exactly who it is." Glances were sent throughout the members of the house.

"Maybe we could just leave him there?" Caroline offered.

"Caroline!" Elena chided.

"What? I know I wasn't the only one thinking it." She pouted.

"Listen. Damon's not the best guy. But he has come through for each of us at least once. We can at least formulate a plan to get him out of their clutches." Ric reasoned.

"Thank you, Ric." Sighed Stefan. At least someone else was looking out for his brother.

"What if we trade something of value for him?" Elena asked.

"Elena, you can't be serious." Bonnie contested.

"I am though! You were there! That witch they have on their side, Eris, she said that all vampires are connected to the Original that sired their line. One dies, they all die. The stakes are of no use to us anymore. We should use those to barter for Damon's return."

"Just because she said something doesn't mean it's true."

"Wasn't Death there too, validating this? Like, the Death." Jeremy chimed in. Bonnie rolled her eyes again, crossing her arms.

"How many witches do you know can just summon Death on a whim like that?"

"Well, I really only know one witch-"

"It was probably just an illusion. And even if she was right about the lines being connected, I'm sure I can find a spell in one of these grimmoires to break a sire line. I am a Bennett witch. Then we're home free." Everyone looked to Stefan for a final say.

"We'll trade the stakes for my brother." He said, Elena brightened at her plan being used. "But that doesn't mean we have to trade them all." He amended, agreeing to Bonnie's plan as well.

"Sirius. Come on. You're meant to meet the other Mikaelsons today. We were supposed to be there a half hour ago."

"Pup. Please. What have I told you? You can't rush perfection." Sirius said, finally meeting her in the foyer, running a hand through this glossy black locks. Seriously. He was worse than all the girls she shared a dormitory with when it came to his appearance. Eris just rolled her eyes and grabbed onto his arm.

"Whatever, it's just going to get messed up again when we apparate."

"Wait! Hold on a minute! I didn't use a holding charm-" POP.

Teddy, Eris and a disgruntled Sirius appeared at the Mikaelson Mansion, before Eris even moved to knock at the door, Elijah was there, opening it for them.
