Holly's POV

I'm relaxing remembering the past. About Anna's mother Pearl and Katherine. Pearl and I had gone to see Katherine.

(1864)

"It's good to see you Holly, Pearl" Katherine as she joins us at the base of the stairs. Emily is standing behind Pearl and I.

"Perhaps we could talk outside" Pearl tells her.

"Emily, would you please tell Mr. Salvatore that I've stepped away?" Katherine instructs.

"Which one?" Emily asks and I hold in a groan.

"Both" Katherine says smirking.

"How long do you plan on staying with the Salvatores?" I ask Katherine as we walk through the yard.

"People talk, Katherine. You, carrying on with both brothers, doesn't help the situation" Pearl tells her.

"The Salvatores have been kind to take me in. As far as everyone here knows, I'm a poor orphan girl from Atlanta, lost her family in the fires" Katherine says.

"A match you lit no doubt" we tell her. Katherine giggles and we stop at the end of the yard.

"Honoria Fell came by the apothecary yesterday with a case of this elixir" Pearl explains. Retrieving a perfume bottle and handing it to Katherine. " She asked that it be sold at a reduced rate" she states.

"I don't follow" Katherine says confused.

"Try it" I say smirking. Katherine takes the bottle, uncorks it, and sniffs it. She then places the rim of the glass on the palm of her hand and gasps as it burns her.

"What the hell?!" she exclaims.

"Vervain" Pearl and I state.

"Why is there ver... they know" Katherine sighs.

"They're trying to find us, and they're getting crafty about it" Pearl tells her.

"The townspeople ingesting vervain? Well, that's inconvenient" Katherine says. She caps the bottle handing it back to Pearl.

"It might be time for us to move on again" Pearl tells Katherine.

"No. I like it here. I'm not interested in leaving just yet" Katherine states. Suddenly little Annabelle approaches us.

"Can we go mama?" she asks Pearl and I smile. She reminds me of my daughter, the one I lost so long ago. "Is something wrong?" she asks.

"Nothing at all young Annabelle, why don't we go to the lake" I tell her smiling. She agrees and we left Katherine with Pearl.

(Present day)

My phone ringing pulls me from memory lane. I look to see it's Anna and answer it. "I was just thinking about you Young Annabelle" I tell her.

"I have a feeling the Salvatores are looking for the journal. I have it and it says Jonathan gave it to Giuseppe. But I'm sure a Salvatore will find me soon, I was wondering if you wanted to join us" she states.

"Sounds intriguing" I state.

"Ben is grabbing Bonnie tonight, then I'm grabbing Elena as leverage. All I need is the grimoire" she states.

"Someone is prepared, see you tonight" I tell her before hanging up. I go back down memory lane. This time I'm at Pearl's shop with her and Katherine.

(1864)

"Have you thought about what we said?" Pearl asks Katherine.

"We'll leave soon, Pearl, I promise. I need to take care of a few things first" Katherine assures her.

"You're going to turn both of them, aren't you?" I ask her. She gives me a mischievous smile.

"Katherine, please. Be careful" Pearl tells her.

"We'll all be safe, I promise" Katherine assures us. "Mr. Gilbert's coming. Quick, your cheeks" she says pinching Pearl's cheeks. Pearl then goes to greet Jonathan Gilbert as Anna joined Katherine and I, with Emily. "Your mother has an admirer" she tells Anna. Emily, Anna and I smile.

(Present day)

I pull out of my memory and see the sun setting. I get changed and go to Anna's motel. To see her and Damon choking each other. "Ok, enough children" I tell them and they let go of each other.

"Damn. You're strong for a little thing" Damon says rubbing his neck.

"I was wondering how long it'd take you to find me after Holly did" Anna states.

"How long have you been here?" Damon asks her.

"I arrived around half-past comet, watching you screw up every chance you had to open that tomb" Anna explains.

"How did you know about the spell?" he demands.

"She was really quiet back then, so she heard everything. Though not nearly as much as me" I tell him smirking.

"So if you've been here the whole time, then why are we just crossing paths right now?" Damon asks Anna.

"I like to use others to do my dirty work" Anna tells him.

"Like Logan Fell? Oh, yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Little bastard shot me" Damon sneers.

"You did kill him" I remind him.

"Logan was an idiot" Anna states. "We slipped him some blood when he started getting all poser slayer with that compass. I needed his family's journal. I couldn't let him die" she explains.

"What'd you want with the Fell journal?" Damon asks.

"I thought it contained the location of the witch's spell book. I was wrong. According to her journal, Honoria gave the grimoire to Johnathan Gilbert. And, according to this..." Anna says taking the journal from her bag on the counter.

"He gave it to your father" I state as Damon looks at the journal. He closes it leaves the room and I run after him. I arrive to see him forcing Elena to drink his blood. "Let her go Damon" I snarl.

"The book" he tells Stefan ignoring me.

"I'm not going to give this to you until she is standing next to me" Stefan tells him.

"Problem is, I no longer trust that you'll give it back" Damon tells him.

"You just did the one thing that ensures I do" Stefan tells him. They swap Elena and the grimoire. Stefan then takes Elena home and I slam Damon into a tree.

"Threaten Elena like that again, you're dead" I snarl glaring at him.

"Fine, I won't touch her again" he says relenting. I let go of him and go home. Leaving him with Emily's grimoire.
