Roslyn's POV

I woke up to Elena's phone ringing and Caroline pushes her out of the bed. "Go away" I whine trying to go back to sleep. Elena answers the phone saying 'hello'.

"Shh" Bonnie says as the three of us glare at her.

"Elena!" Care complains and Elena crawls into the hallway to continue her call. I go back to sleep with the other two. I wake up an hour later and go home. Where mum tells me I'd be going with her to a tea party at the Lockwoods for the historical society.

So I shower and change clothes. When I'm ready we leave for the tea party. We arrive and I see Elijah speaking with Carol as they sip their tea. I decide to join them. "Have you spent much time in Richmond for your book?" she asks Elijah.

"There's a wealth of history there" I state joining them.

"Roslyn, how are you?" Carol asks me smiling.

"I'm well Mrs Lockwood, how are you?" I ask.

"I am well" she says.

"So Elijah, have you already been to Richmond?" I ask him curious.

"No, I'm focusing mostly on the smaller regions of Virginia. Lots of research. Strictly academic" he states.

"Fascinating" Carol and I say together.

"I'm a bit of a history fan, perhaps I could pick your brain about the towns history sometime" I tell him.

"I have some time now" he tells me.

"I have other guests to greet, but you two have fun" Carol says and leaves us. Just then Damon joins us.

"Hello Damon, Elijah this is Damon Salvatore" I tell him.

"Pleasure to meet you" Damon says holding a hand out to Elijah.

"The pleasure in mine" Elijah says shaking his hand.

"Why don't we take this conversation else where" I tell them. I lead them to the mayor's study and Damon shuts the door behind us. I sit on the desk.

"What can I do for you both Roslyn, Damon?" Elijah asks us.

"I was hoping we could have a word" Damon tells him.

"Where's Elena?" Elijah asks us.

"Safe with Stefan. They're laying low, you know, bit of a werewolf problem" I tell him.

"Oh, yeah, I heard about that" he tells us.

"I'm sure you did since it was your witch that saved the day" Damon says.

"Thanks for that, by the way" I tell him.

"You're welcome" Elijah says. Damon sits on the desk beside me.

"Which adds to my confusion on exactly why you're here" Damon tells Elijah.

"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me" Elijah tells him. Elijah moves to exit the room, but Damon vamp-speeds in front of him, blocking the way out.

"Not good enough" Damon tells him. Elijah grabs Damon by the throat and vamp-speeds him into a wall. Damon, in retaliation, grabs Elijah's throat. Elijah grabs Damon's hand and easily pulls it off of his neck, making sure to crush Damon's hand as he does so. Damon groans in pain.

"Damon!" I say and stand up.

"I wouldn't" Elijah tells me and I remember when he snapped my neck. I really didn't want that to happen again. "You young vampires, so arrogant" he says looking at Damon. Elijah drops Damon's hand from his own, but continues to hold Damon up against the wall by the throat. "How dare you come in here and challenge me?" he says.

"You can't kill me or Roslyn. It's not part of the deal" Damon tells Elijah.

"Silence" Elijah orders. Elijah grabs a pencil lying on the desk and stabs Damon in the neck with it. Damon clutches at the pencil and yells in pain. Elijah lets go of Damon, who falls against the desk and removes the pencil, painfully. Damon claps his hand over the bloody wound. Elijah whips out a handkerchief from his pocket and wipes the blood off his hands.

"Damon" I say kneeling beside him.

"I'm an Original. Show a little respect" Elijah tells us. Elijah dangles the handkerchief in front of us. I grab it hastily, and places it on Damon's wound. He holds it there. "The moment you cease to be of use to me, you're dead, so you should do what I say. Keep Elena safe" he tells us and leaves.

"Lets get you home" I tell Damon and message Alaric. He arrives and helps me take Damon home. I leave them in the parlor and go to wash my hands of Damon's blood. I soon hear a crash downstairs and rush down. I hide in the shadows as I see wolves surround Damon, Jules holding a shotgun.

I run out of the house and try to think about what to do. Elena and Stefan are at the Lake house. Caroline and Bonnie are trying to find out what Elijah's plan is. And Alaric is no doubt dead for the time being. There's only one person who can help me.

I go to town and find him. "Elijah I need your help" I tell him.

"What is it?" he asks me.

"Damon is in danger, the wolves didn't leave town and have him hostage at his house" I tell him. "You're the only one who can help me" I state.

"Lead the way" he tells me and I do so. We arrive as Jules is about to shoot Damon, demanding he hand over the moonstone. "You looking for this?" Elijah asks holding it up as he leans in the door way. They all look up at us. Elijah walks down the stairs and places the moonstone on an end table. He backs away telling them to take it.

One of the werewolves uses his wolf speed to rush towards the moonstone, but Elijah, being quicker, plunges his hand into the wolf's chest and rips out his heart. The wolf falls down onto the couch, dead. Two other wolves rush at Elijah and Elijah, without any effort, plunges his arms into their chests and rips out their hearts as well. Jules wolf-speeds out of the house before she is killed. Elijah walks over to Stevie, who crouches down and pulls his jacket over his face in fear. Elijah pulls him up from the ground.

While I remove the chains strapping Damon to the chair. Elijah kills the last wolf before looking at us. "So you realize this is the third time I've saved your life now?" he tells Damon. Who doesn't respond. Elijah turns around, grabs the moonstone, and walks out of the house.

"Will you be ok now?" I ask him.

"I'll be fine, Alaric should wake soon" he tells me. I nod my head and go home. I see mum at the kitchen bunch writing a paper.

"Hi mum" I say.

"Hello, how was your day?" she asks me.

"It was fine, I'm gonna call it a night" I tell her.

"Good night" she says smiling. I smile back and leave her to her work. I go to my room to see Tyler sitting on the window sell.

"Tyler?" I say confused.

"I'm leaving town for awhile, until I can control myself" he tells me.

"What about your mum?" I ask him.

"I left her a letter, take care of Caroline" he tells me. Then leaves and I sigh shutting my window. I change and do my teeth before going to bed.
