Sommatore

29... Masquerade

Allyson hands Caroline a glass of blood, which Damon let her pour. Ally has a seat beside Caroline on the couch.

"I'm still shaking." Caroline says, and she drinks the blood as Allyson rubs her back.

Stefan walks in while Caroline drinks the blood. "What happened?" He asks.

"Go ahead, tell him." Damon urges. "You're gonna love this."

"I saw Katherine today." Caroline replies.

"Where?" Stefan asks her.

"At the Grill." Caroline replies. "I just stood to gawk and... quasi-stalk Matt."

"She wants to do it in public," Stevan says after Caroline's story. "Killing Mason threw her off guard."

"She's running scared." Damon says, even meaning the fact that Katherine has gotten on the bad side of s fairy. Again. "Wjah shw did to Jenna was desperate. She's out of tricks."

"We can't underestimate her." Stefan claims. "We have to play this smarter than he."

"Can we just give Katherine the moonstone so she'll leave?" Caroline asks.

"No, Katherine's not getting dick." Damon replies. "I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball with Allyson, and Im gonna kill her. Tonight."

"You're not going to kill her." Stefan says.

"Don't give me that goody-goody crap." Damon says.

"You're not gonna kill her," Stefan repeats.

"Really?" Damon inquires, rising an eyebrow.

"Because I am."

"Your mom's home from the hospital," Damon says to Allyson as Caroline goes to open the door.

"I know, but I need to do this." Allyson says. "I have to get vengeance. She knows about Sofija."

Damon mods amd Bonnie walks in, holding the grimoire. Bonnie looks at Damon, Allyson, and Alaric. She then sees the weapons scattered on the table.

"What's going on?" Bonnie asks.

Jeremy enters the room, "we're gonna kill Katherine."

"I can explain," Stefan says to the full witch.

"Please," Bonnie replies.

"We're gonna kill Katherine," Stefan says.

As everyone gathers around the table, Alaric shows them a weapon.

"This works with compressed air," Alaric explains. "The trigger mechanism is up here." Ric shows where he is talking about. "I have two of these in a different size. For you, I recommend this." Alaric hands Stefan a weapon that fits his wrist. "It fits nicely under the jacket sleeve. You use the trigger when you're ready." Alaric demonstrates. "Allyson has said she'd bring out Sofija, too."

Damon and Stefan look at each other.

"You wanted me to show you how to kill a vampire," Alaric says.
