Titanium~The Vampire Diaries

The Murder of One

Damon: "Morning, sunshine." he says opening Alaric's door to see Elena
Elena: "Hey. How's Alaric?" she asks trying to go inside but he stops her
Damon: "Indecent, but fine."
Elena: "So then does that mean there were no issues last night?"
Damon: "Nope. Slept like a baby. Woke up Alaric. No headlines about dead council members."
Elena: "Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?"
Damon: "Well, maybe because you're being all paranoid and control freak-y. What'd you bring me?" he asks grabbing the bag from her looking inside
Elena: "Hey-"
Damon: "Chocolate muffins. You know what they say the way to a psycho killer's heart is through his stomach." he says as she snatches them back
Elena: "They're not for you."
Damon: "Fine. Keep convincing yourself you're still mad at me. But sadly, Ric's going to have to pass on Elena time today. You know, lockdown and all."
Elena: "Just take it, give it to him and tell him that I miss him, ok?"
Damon: "With pleasure." he says as she hands him the bag and coffee
Elena: "Please."
Damon: "Have a great day."
Elena: "Dam-"
Damon: "Thanks for coming by" he says closing the door "Walking down the stairs.
Opening the front door and...She's gone." he says as Alaric turns the saw back on
Stefan: "Needs to have a sharper point." he says handing Damon a stake as Brielle and Jaylan sit next to him. The oldest whittling a stake
Damon: "Got it."
Stefan: "Finally have our own stakes to kill an original. I'm not going to miss because you can't whittle."
Damon: "I said I got it. Stop micromanaging. Uh-huh. Don't even think about it." he says moving Brielle behind him as she tries to grab the stake
Alaric: "Looks like you guys got this under control. I'm going to call the sheriff. I want to turn myself in."
Damon: "No, you don't."
Alaric: "I have a homicidal alter ego. Unlike some people in this room, I would like to take responsibility for the people I've killed."
Damon: "If you wanted to turn yourself in, you wouldn't be saying it out loud. Just sayin'."
Alaric: "Listen, of all the people, you cannot psychoanalyze me" he says before covering Brielle's ears talking lowly "I killed Caroline's father. I nearly killed Meredith. Everything has changed."
Jaylan: "You're not turning yourself in. Bonnie's herbs are working."
Stefan: "And we have originals to kill."
Damon: "His morals get very questionable when he has revenge on the brain."
Stefan: "Klaus needs to die, we finally have a chance to kill him. So you are not turning yourself in."
Damon: "Here's your ring, Ric. Put it on." he says holding the ring out
Alaric: "That ring is the reason I've killed people."
Damon: "It's also the reason you're alive. You're going vampire hunting, Ric. Wear it." he says as Alaric uncovers Brielle's ears taking the ring from him

Caroline: "Alaric Saltzman killed my father?" she says as her and Elena walk through the woods
Elena: "I can't expect you to be ok with this. But at least these herbs that Bonnie's giving him, they're healing him and they're keeping the dark side buried."
Caroline: "Yeah, and that's supposed to make everything ok?" she asks scoffing
Elena: "No, Caroline, it's not ok. It's horrible. And I feel horrible about it, but...He's a victim of something supernatural. He didn't ask for this. It just happened to him. Just like Bonnie's mom. I mean, she didn't ask to become a vampire. And Neither did Stefan, or Tyler or Jaylan."
Caroline: "Or me."
Elena: "Or you. None of you asked for this. But who would I be if I just...Turned my back on any of you?"
Caroline: "Oh, Elena Gilbert. Savior of the cursed and the damned." she says making them both laugh as Matt comes over to them
Matt: "Hey. What's with the, uh, cryptic secret meeting text?"
Elena: "I don't know. Stefan just said to meet here."
Stefan: "Where's Bonnie? Texted her, too." he says as him, Damon, and Jaylan come over with Stefan carrying a bag
Caroline: "Uh, Bonnie's mom bailed on her. Again. So I think we should leave her out of this one."
Matt: "What are we doing here?"
Jaylan: "We found some more white oak." she says making Elena's eyes widen
Damon: "Long story. Wait for the movie."
Elena: "Hang on. White oak? You have a weapon that can kill Klaus?"
Stefan: "Nope. We all have a weapon" he says dropping a bag full of stakes at his feet "Klaus has always been one step ahead of us. But now we have the advantage. We're all armed, and they are all linked. Meaning we only need to kill one of them. We need to seize the best opportunity, which means we need to prepare for every opportunity." he says pulling out the stakes
Damon: "Scenario number one you are to play Klaus."
Elena: "Ok, stop." she says as Damon pulls her over to Stefan
Stefan: "Rebekah is our target. So we'll distract her and catch her off guard. To do that, we need to keep Klaus separate and occupied. Caroline."
Caroline: "Why do I always have to be Klaus bait?"
Damon: "Because he's obsessed with you. But for right now, we need you to play Rebekah. We'll use the quarterback to distract her. Just keep her talking."
Matt: "How?"
Damon: "Act interested. She's lonely. Desperate."
Caroline: "Clearly. She slept with you." she says making Jaylan elbow her
Damon: "Beefcake holds bombshell, I come up from behind her, grab her arms like this..." he says holding Caroline's hands behind her back tightly making her wince
Caroline: "Ow!"
Stefan: "Which gives me time for one shot. Got it? Good. So we all have one stake, we keep it hidden and we look out for any opportunity we have."
Damon: "No last minute attacks of pity for any of them."
Elena: "Don't worry about me. Not after what happened to Bonnie's mom."
Damon: "Barbie?"
Caroline: "Oh, I'm ready. Anything that will free Tyler of his sire bond to Klaus."
Damon: "Bus boy?"
Matt: "Do I have a choice?"
Damon: "Good point. Beautiful?" he asks looking at Jaylan
Jaylan: "I'm in." she says shrugging her shoulders
Stefan: "We have 12 stakes. one original. We can do this. All right, let's try another scenario. Elena, grab a crossbow. Matt, you play Klaus." he says as Elena picks up the crossbow aiming it towards Matt
