The Owl Gilbert

1:17: Jailbreak

It's the middle of the night as I wake up, gasping to my window opening from the wind that's going crazy because of the thunderstorm that is happening outside. I walk over to my window to close it and lock it with my right hand. I decide to go to Jeremy's room and knock on the door, and open it, seeing him sitting on the bed. "Hi, you're still up." I say. "Hey, what's up?" He asks. "Looks like the there's a big storm rolling in. Can you help make sure all the windows are closed?" I ask. "Yeah. Yeah, sure." He says and I smile at him, and shut the door, going back to my room.

I'm at the Salvatore Boarding House with Elena, Stefan and Damon as he's boarding up some windows. "I say we go to Pearl's, bust down the door, and annihilate the idiot that attacked us last night." He says. "Yeah. And then what? We turn to the rest of that house of vampires and say, 'Oops. Sorry?'" Stefan asks. "I can't believe you made a deal with her." Elena says. "It was more like a helpful exchange of information. And it's not like I had a choice. She's.. scary. Besides, she's gonna help me get Katherine back." Damon says, walking over to us. "Of course she is." Elena says and looks at Stefan. "Damon gets what he wants, as usual." She says and looks at him. "No matter who he hurts in the process." She says. "You don't have to be snarky about it." He says. "Adam and I woke up this morning to learn that all the vampires have been released from the tomb. I've earned snarky." She says as Damon walks to the couch and sits down, sighing. "How long are you going to blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?" He asks. "I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities." She says. "Ouch." Damon and I same at the same time. "This isn't being very productive. We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the vampires. Yeah? Hmm." Stefan says as Damon stands up and walks out of the room, and Stefan embraces Elena. "I'm sorry. He just makes me so cranky." She says. "I know. He makes everybody cranky." He says. "Defintiely." I say. "So what are we going to do?" Elena asks. "Damon and I are gonna handle everything, I promise." He says and we both look up at him. "Well, what about me? I can't just sit here and do nothing." Elena says. "Exactly. These vampires are trying to take over our town. We can't let them do that." I say. "No, hat's exactly what you two are gonna do, because that's what going to keep you both safe." He says. "Which means nothing if you're not safe, too." Elena and I say at the same time. "What do you mean? I'm perfectly safe. I have Damon, the self-serving psychopath on my side." Stefan says. "Well, that's comforting." She says. "Ah, brotherly bonding." I say and we all laugh.

I'm with Elena back at the house as her phone rings and she pulls it out of her right pocket. "Who is it?" I ask. "It's Damon." I say and she presses the ignore button, and we hear a knock on the door, and I open it with my right hand, seeing Damon and he walks in. "You're ignoring me." He says to Elena, walking past us. "And that's why you call me instead." I say. "The six missed calls? Sorry. My phone is dead." Elena says. "Is Stefan here?" He asks. "No. Why? Something wrong?" I ask. "He went out in the woods and didn't come back. I can't get him on his phone. I figured he was here with you or Adam." He says and Elena dials Stefan's phone. "It's going straight to voice-mail. Where could he be?" She asks. "You're not going to like what I'm thinking." He says. "Time for a jailbreak. A vampire jailbreak." I say.

I'm in the car with Elena as we're waiting for Damon to get back; as she's on my right side and we see him running towards us, and she gets out with her umbrella as I put my hood up, and get out as well. "What happened? Where is he?" Elena asks. "They have him. I can't get in." Damon says. "Why not?" She asks. "Because the woman who owns the house is compelled to not let me in." He says. "I can get in." I say and they both look at me and I step forward, and he puts his hands on my shoulders. "You're not going in there." He says. "I'm going!" I exclaim. "You're not going in there." He says. "Why are they doing this? What do they want with him?" Elena asks. "Revenge. They want revenge." He says. "We gotta do something." Elena says. "I know." Damon says. "We can't let them hurt him. We gotta get him out of there." I say. "I know. Adam, I know. But I don't know how to get him out." He says and I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen and scream as blood is seeping through my hoodie, and I lift it up to see a puncture wound. "Damon.. what's happening?" I ask. "They linked you to Stefan. What happens to him happens to you. Vise versa. They have a witch." He says and my wrist start burning and I scream again. "Here. Drink this, it'll help. Just don't die on me, okay?" Damon asks and feeds me his blood, and my wounds start healing. "I fucking hate the tomb vampires." I say.
