𝙃𝘼𝙇𝙁𝙒𝘼𝙔 𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙂𝙃 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘿𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀, 𝙆𝙊𝙇 and Clara were rudely interrupted when Damon appeared out of no where. He seemed a bit annoyed that Kol was her date, and that she hadn't even informed him that he was indeed coming to the dance. But he put that on a side plate while apparently Elena had been taken by Esther, who was alive.

Everyone was residing in a smaller gym off to the side so no one would hear about vampires or witches. By everyone, it was Damon, Stefan, Klaus, Bonnie, Jeremy, Kol, and Clara. They were all patiently waiting for Bonnie to break the boundary spell that Esther had made, meaning no supernaturals could walk past the line of salt.

"People are walking right out of the dance, past the barrier."

Clara glanced up from staring at her twiddling fingers to Matt, who had just stepped through the blue doors into the room with the rest of them.

"Well, if Matt and I can leave, we could stop Esther ourselves," Jeremy speaks up, taking a step forward, and then Clara parted her lips, annoyed. "We just gotta find out where she is."

"Hell no, I can leave too," Clara interrupted, but both boys shot her a look. She was genuinely getting worked up over the testosterone, and started gritted her teeth with unamusement.

"Absolutely not, Lara, it's suicide," Stefan starts, glaring at the girl for possibly a bad idea.

"I agree," Kol perks up, and then Clara sent daggers at the boy for even speaking. "Humans are no chance against our mother."

"No," Klaus barks, flickering from his younger brother to Jamie, who was just a bit too close to the original than she liked. "Suicide would be disappointing me."

And with that, Klaus grabs Jamie by his throat and raises his above the ground. The boy stared choking loudly, and Clara took a step forward to do something but was cut off when Kol grabbed hold of her wrist, and he sent her a warning look, one that said don't get any closer'.

Clara huffed out in annoyance folding her arms with disdain as she was clearly over getting told what to do.

"Now work your magic, witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy."

"Let him go!" Bonnie cries out, and Clara was wondering why no one was moving a muscle to help the frail human boy clasped in Klaus's grip.

"Not until you get us out of here," Klaus growls, his slender fingers only tightening around the boys throat.

"Ah, don't be stupid, Klaus," Stefan speaks up, taking a few steps forward towards the old vampire. "Bonnie doesn't give a damn about us. The only reason she's helping right now is to save Caroline and Tyler. If you start killing the people she cares about, she'll tell us all to go to hell."

Klaus hesitantly throws Jamie down, letting go of his throat with anger. He wanted out of him more than anyone, that much was clear.

"Well, lets go," Clara states, looking at Matt and Jeremy, who were standing side by side.

"No way, you're not going," Damon grabs hold of Clara's arm just as soon as she took one step forward, and she had quite enough of everyone tonight.
