Chapter 1 - "You touch Kol, and i'll rip your throat out, with my teeth!"

Mariposa and Rebekah were in Klaus' art room, looking at many pieces of his art, Mariposa had no idea he was such a good artist, he had never told her. She picked up one and saw that it was one of herself and Kol, she remembered that moment perfectly. It was about a week before she left them all, they spent the whole day together talking about random stuff.

Mariposa remembered that day being one of the best days in her life.

But, Mariposa was pulled from her thoughts when Rebekah let out a yell of grief as she pushed loads of artwork off the table as she sobbed. Mariposa walked over to the girl and brought her into a hug. "It's alright, Bekah!" She said softly. "It's going to be fine!" They broke the hug and Mariposa crouched down and began to pick up the artwork.

"You should know better than to sneak up on ladies!" Rebekah said as another person entered the room, and Mariposa looked over and saw Damon standing there.

"Good advice!" Damon said. "Have you seen any?" He asked them both and Mariposa stood up.

Rebekah faced him. "Tragic about Elena!" Rebekah told him. "Not to make the grey cloud any greyer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?" Rebekah turned her back on him.

Damon grabbed the White Oak stake and went to stake Rebekah with her back turned, but Mariposa held her hand up and Damon was lifted into the air by his throat by her magic. "Ah, ah, ah, Salvatore!" Mariposa said as she moved to stand in front of him as he dropped the stake and clawed at his throat. "It wasn't Rebekah that sent your precious Elena and the footballer off the bridge, it was me. So, if you're gonna stake anyone, let it be me. However, it'll be for nothing since, well, yeah!"

All of a sudden, wooden bullets lodged themselves into Rebekah and Mariposa turned round and dropped Damon to the floor. Mariposa stared wide eyes as an arrow found itself in Rebekah's chest. "Rebekah!" She said as she went to go forward, but Damon snapped her neck and put her over his shoulder before he sped out of there.

Mariposa groaned as she sat up and saw she was in Elena's living room. Mariposa saw Damon picking several things up off the floor, before the door opened and the sheriff came inside. "They're gone!" Damon said as she sat up. "Whoever nailed Rebekah took them, too!" He walked towards the woman. "Please tell me you have something. Anything!"

"I can't!" The sheriff told him as Dr Fell joined them. "The council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers. Everything."

"So, the mayor and the sheriff never contemplated a back-up plan, Liz?" Damon questioned.

"Damon, relax!" Melissa Fell told the vampire. "When Caroline called to say she got away, did she know where they were planning to take her?"

"No!" The sheriff shook her head. "Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape."

"Perfect!" Damon said. "We've narrowed it down to nowhere!"

"Why am I here?" Mariposa asked Damon with a raised brow.

"You're helping us!" Damon told her.

"No, I'm not!"

"Then, I guess your little boyfriend will have to pay the price for that!" Damon told her smugly.

"You touch Kol, and I'll rip your throat out, with my teeth. Then I'll rip your heart out!" Mariposa snarled as she got in Damon's face with a dark look on her face.

They moved away from each other at hearing a knock on the door. "Hey, is Elena here?" Matt asked as he joined them all. It was silent for a short while where nobody said anything and nobody moved.
