Holly's POV

I left Anna and go see Isobel. I arrive and enter without knocking to see her sitting on a couch. While a half naked man and woman dance together. "Isobel, who are your delicious friends?" I ask as I grab the man. He dances with me as the woman dances alone.

"Cherie is from Brooklyn and Frank I picked up in Amarillo" she states.

"You weren't kidding when you said you had friends. I hope they are treating you well" I say as I let Frank go back dancing with Cherie.

"Oh they are treating me very well" she says smirking. "It's good to see you again Aunt Holly" she states and I hug her.

"Nice to see you to dear, have you seen John yet?" I ask as we sit on the couch to watch the other two dance.

"No, but he should be here soon. He's late" she states.

"Men" I say rolling my eyes. Just then John enters the house. "You're late" I tell him.

"I didn't know I was on a schedule or that you'd be here" he states. "What's with the side show?" he asks pointing to Frank and Cherie.

"Cherie is a little jazz singer that I picked up in a blues bar in Brooklyn. And I got the cowboy at a gay rodeo in Amarillo" Isobel explains.

"I taught you well niece" I say smiling.

"He's gay?" John asks her.

"Not right now, he's very good to me" Isobel says smiling. She then looks at Frank and Cherie. "Hey Cherie? Cassez vous" she says and they leave. "I'm teaching them French" she states.

"Oh! I can smell the judgment coming off of you"  I say looking at John.

"Well, they're people, Holly. And Isobel is treating them like dolls" he states.

"You know if we're going to work together as a team" I tell him.

"You need to stop being such a hater" Isobel finishes.

"We're in a partnership together because we share a mutual goal. Don't ever confuse that for an acceptance of your lifestyle" John reminds us.

"Our lifestyle? So, I assume that you still don't have the invention" Isobel says.

"Pearl gave it to Damon" I tell her.

"I'll get it. I said I would" John assures us.

"Uh, you threatened to expose Damon Salvatore, that didn't work" Isobel says.

"You killed that Pearl lady, still no invention" I add glaring at him. Pearl had been my friend and now Anna has lost her mother.

"I really don't think that your plan is working, John" Isobel tells him.

"Well, you being here is not going to help anything" John tells her. She slaps him and he falls to the ground.

"You failed, John. I'm gonna take it from here" Isobel tells him and leaves. John leaves soon after and I decide to occupy my time by playing with Frank. We play monopoly and everytime he lands on my property I get to drink from him.

I don't know how long we were playing until I hear a crush from downstairs. "Stay Frank" I say and leave the room. I rush downstairs to see Damon have Isobel pinned to the floor threatening her. I through him off her snarling. "You do not threaten my loved ones Damon" I sneer.

"I'm out of here" he says and leaves. Knowing better then to pick a fight with me.

"Are you ok Isobel?" I ask her in concern.

"I'm fine" she assures me as she gets up. "I am surprised you're still here" she states.

"I was having fun with Frank" I say smirking. "He really is yummy" I tell her.

"You haven't killed him have you?" she asks me.

"No" I assure her.

"Good, I need him to do something for me. But I'll be bringing a guest over, then I'll be packing" she states. "But don't threat Katherine should be in town any day now" she assures me. She then leaves with Frank as Cherie starts to pack their bags.

About twenty minutes later Frank and Isobel return with Jeremy. I have him sit beside me as Frank and Cherie guard the door. Soon John arrives and Isobel leads him into the room. "What the hell are you doing?" he demands.

"Getting what I want" she tells him smirking.

"Yeah but he is my nephew and you're going let him go right this second" he tells her.

"That gaudy ring on your finger comes off" we tell him.

"Come on Isobel, I know you okay? It's me John. You can't hurt a kid" he tells her.

"She'll kill him to prove you wrong" I say smirking.

"Really? Are you that far gone? Look, I know you've changed but the old Isobel is somewhere in there, isn't she? Come on let him go" John pleads.

"Faites le souffrir" Isobel tells her 'friends'. Cherie and Franck beat him and throw him on the floor. Isobel catches his hand and removes his ring. "Nice try, we'll see how you do without this" she says and leaves with her 'friends'.

"Jeremy look after your Uncle, when he feels better. You both may leave" I state and leave them. I walk around town and am soon joined by Isobel who's on the phone to John.

"On your doorstep you'll find what you've been looking for" she tells him.

"And my ring?" I hear him ask.

"Don't screw this up. You know what you have to do, John" she reminds him. "Katherine wants all of those tomb vampires dead, and I want to add two more to that list" she tells him. 'Stefan and Damon. Holly and I don't want this life for her" she states.

"That was always part of the plan. Consider them gone" he tells her.

"She's our daughter, John. We owe that to her" she states before hanging up. "Look out for her if he fails to kill those brothers" she says looking at me.

"Of course, no harm will come to her" I assure her. "I wish you could stay longer, but I understand why you want to leave" I tell her.

"This is not good-bye, just until next time" she states. We hug and she leaves. I then go home.
