I was in the parlor collecting trash from around the house from the party last night. Finding a cup that still had alcohol in it, I drank the last sip, tossing it in the bin.
Klaus walked in. "Desperate times for boredom, I take it?"
I didn't look at him. "What are you doing here?"
"Not judging you, for starters," Klaus told me. "Although if you are determined to get drunk, then perhaps I might recommend something a little more sanitary?" I turned toward him, maintaining eye contact, draining another cup, throwing it defiantly into the bin. Klaus smirked in amusement. "Well, then. You showed me."
I returned to cleaning. "Shouldn't you be out chasing Tyler to the ends of the Earth, or maybe bite someone to use as leverage or to teach a lesson? Or are there still some hopes and dreams you wanna crush around here?"
"I take it you're still angry with me," Klaus told me.
I turned toward him, putting the bin on the table next to me. "Damn right I'm still angry at you. You bit me just to get to Tyler, Stefan and Damon, and you didn't even know if you were going to let me die or not. Or maybe you were just doing it because you were hurt and upset with me because of what happened with the hybrids, but don't make it out to be my fault. If you hadn't treated them like you treat your real friends, none of this would have ever happened." Klaus seemed to be affected by my words. "You can go away now."
We looked at each other for a moment.
Stefan walked into the room. "Actually, I asked him to be here. We need his help. I think Silas is in Mystic Falls."

Klaus poured himself a drink. "So some blood went missing from a few hospitals. What about Elena? Don't vampires with their humanity off tend to overindulge in human blood, or were the two of you the exceptions?"
"It's not Elena," Stefan told him.
"Well, let's say for a moment that it was Silas," Klaus told us. "I'm struggling to see how this affects me."
"Look, Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love, but he's supernatural, so if he takes the Cure and dies, he gets stuck on the Other Side," Stefan told him.
"How Shakespearian," Klaus told us.
"But if he destroys the Other Side altogether, he can take the Cure, die and pass on, but in destroying it, every dead supernatural being will return to our side," Stefan told him.
"That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire," I told him. "I wonder how many of those you personally killed. Care yet?"
Klaus smiled. "My interest is piqued. How do we stop him?"
"Bonnie said Silas needs to complete three massacres to do this spell," Stefan told us. "Before Professor Shane died, he convinced the Pastor to blow up the Council. Next, he had you kill your hybrids, and now he only needs one more massacre, so if he's here, that's what he's doing. We need to find him."

At Shane's office, Stefan, Klaus and I walked in, starting to look through his stuff.
"What are we even looking for?" I asked.
"Well, if Shane really was working with Silas, chances are he was helping him plan his next move," Stefan told me.
"Where, on his evil villian to-do list?" I asked. "'Steal blood, perform three massacres, pick up dry cleaning'?"
