The Owl Gilbert

4:11: Stoned and Stupid

I'm at the Cabin with Matt, Jeremy and Elena as Kol is hanging out with Rebekah today as Jeremy looks out the window as the sun's up and puts down the gun he's holding as Elena is cleaning Matt'd neck wound from the vampire attack led by Klaus for Jeremy to kill. "Sun's up. They're long gone." He says and we see Damon walks in as Elena sighs and I sip on my coffee. "What the hell were you thinking?" She asks, looking at Damon as she throws the towel down, gets up and walks over to him as he's pouring himself a drink. "All I asked you to do was to teach him how to fight." She says. "He's not the best student in the world." Damon says. "Wait. Now this is my fault?" Jeremy asks, confused. "It's no one's fault but Klaus'. He's the one who turned and set loose a bunch of vampires." I say and Damon looks at the two of us. "Stop talking." He says and looks back at Elena. "Look, I know you're angry, but my way was the easiest, fastest, and safest way to complete his Mark to get you the Cure." Damon says and sips on his drink. "I don't care about the cure, Damon. Not if it means putting the people that I love in danger." She says, referring to Matt and Jeremy, since they were the ones attacked. "Hey, there would have been no danger if he hadn't gone all bleeding heart." Damon says, pointing at Jeremy. "He killed someone. These were innocent people." Elena says, walking over to step in front of Damon. "The Mark grew, didn't it?" He asks and she sighs. "Okay. Look. We need a plan. There's a group of compelled vampires out there, and as soon as the sun goes down, they're gonna come after Matt, so we have to find a way to protect him." Elena says as we all look at Matt and Damon walks past her. "Yes, I know. But there will be no problem when big Jer and I here go on a hunting expedition." Damon says, resting his hand on Jeremy's shoulder and she doesn't look on board with the plan, and neither do I. "Elena, Adam, I know, it's tragic. I get it. But we also agree that he had to kill them. Now, we have added incentive. So you take the least most valuable player home. Jeremy and I will finish this." Damon says. "I'm sorry? Are saying I should leave him here with you?" Elena asks, crossing her arms at him and Damon steps forward. "Trust me. I will keep him safe, ok?" Damon asks and she nods wearily in agreement.

I soon arrive to Shane's office to meet up with Rebekah and Stefan after she texted me, and I see Stefan close a filing cabinet. "Well.. Headstone's not here." He says. "Why did you guys call me here? Where's Kol?" I ask, confused as I look around and they both look at me. "He told me he was hanging out with you all day." Rebekah says. "No, he told me he was hanging out with you all day. He lied to me?" I ask, pulling out my phone to call him but it goes straight to voicemail. "Voicemail. He's really not interested on raising Silas and I agree with him." I say, nodding. "Well, we'll convince him that after we find the Cure, we'll force it down Silas' throat and kill him. Easy as pie, luv." She says, smiling. "Sounds like a plan." I say, smiling back. "Now Stefan, don't Ripper out on me. We'll find the Headstone." She says and Stefan sighs, walking around. "Oh, you're all bottled up." She says as Stefan opens another filing cabinet and closes it. "You need a release. Maybe we can find a voodoo doll or something." Rebekah says, searching through a drawer and up a glass jar of herbs. "Ah. This should do the trick. Exactly what you need." She says and we walk back over to Stefan as she holds the jar out for him. "The Professor's stash of herbs." She says as Stefan looks at us. "Not interested." He says and turns back around. "What happened to you? You were so much fun in the twenties." She asks, smiling. "I was a psychotic killer with no emotions in the 1920s." Stefan says, looking back at us. "Yeah, that doesn't seem very fun." I say, shaking my head. "You may have been a killer, but you were far from emotionless, Stefan." Rebekah says, smiling. "You had a blast. I know you remember." She says and Stefan smiles, glancing away for a second. "The jazz, the booze, our little table at Gloria's.." She says and Stefan sighs. "Don't make me compel it out of you." She says. "If this is leading to about your guys' sex life, please not in front of the child." I say and they look at me as we all laugh. "Fine. As long as you don't tell me about yours and Kol's." She says and I give a small laugh. "Deal." I say as we shake hands on it. "All right, um.. I guess we had a little bit of fun." Stefan says, stepping closer to Rebekah. "Thank you." She says and he chuckles. "So now that we've established that fun is, in fact, possible, maybe you'd like to start having some?" She asks, offering him the jar again and he hesitates. "Don't worry about the professor." She says, smiling. "He won't be back anytime soon. I made sure of that." She says as Stefan sighs before taking it and they both look at me. "Adam, you're joining us." She says as Stefan opens the jar and we all take a step back from the smell. "Oh, what the hell?" I ask, looking for a lighter.
