Salvatore Boarding House

Stefan was taking forever so, I walked in the the house.

I walk in to see Stefan walking over to a chair and open a hidden compartment full of weapons underneath the seat.

He packs some weapons into a bag.

Damon vamps over to Stefan and tries to inject him with vervain, but I vamp-sped and catch his hand before he can do it.

Elena told on us. Shocker. "I said sarcastically.

Not a good time for a humanity flip, emely. "He told me.

I break his hand and he drops the vervain syringe.

Do yourself a favor. Stay out of our way today. "Stefan told him.

Me and Stefan leave.

Whitmore College Auditorium

Caroline is auditioning in front of the director, who is taking notes.

Me and stefan are sitting a couple seats behind him

♪Maybe there's somewhere, a lesson to learn. But that wouldn't change the fact, that wouldn't speed the time. Once the foundation's cracked, and I'm still hurting.♪ "She sang.

She wipes a fake tear off her cheek and turns off the music.

Hello? Pretty sure I crushed that. "She said.

The director's head falls off, showing me and Stefan sitting behind him.

We clap slowly as Caroline shields her eyes from the light to see who it is.

Moving. Truly. Although it did lack a certain, um, authenticity. "Stefan said.

What the hell are you guys doing? That was the director! "She said annoyed.

And you are a vampire without humanity, singing about heartbreak. "I said rolling my eyes.

It's a performance, Emely. "She said.

We get up and walk down the stairs toward the stage.

It sure is, Caroline. Especially this carefully crafted good student routine, straight and narrow, anything to keep you from making a mistake you might regret one year from now when you flip your switch back on. Oh, except the whole ruining my life part. "I stated.

Well, if your humanity's off, then you shouldn't really care how I deal. "She said.

No, no, no. See, that's where you're wrong. Because, like you, I'm prone to doing bad things when my humanity is off, but unlike you, I don't have an elaborate system to keep me in check. Right, Stefan? "I said looking at him.

Well that's not my problem. "She said.

Exactly, Emely. And well, we're making it your problem. If our life is gonna fall apart when my humanity starts flooding back, then so is yours. When we're done with you, you'll be drowning in mistakes. "Stefan told her.

Caroline walks toward us and looks at us incredulously.

This is seriously about revenge? "She asked looking at us.

Yes, it is. And this? "I said smirking.

I hold up my hands, which are covered in blood.

This is a control freak's worst nightmare. This is us undoing your routine. This is us... "I trailed.

I wipe blood onto Caroline's lips, causing her face to vamp out.

Forcing you to let go, one day at a time, until you break. "I said tauntingly.
