Well, this week has been eventful.

Jenna found out Isobel is alive and that Elena and I knew. Elena tried to talk to her but Jenna refused and went back to campus to avoid us.
Matt disappeared after Caroline told him the truth about us.
John invited Isobel into our house and somehow convinced us to listen to what she has to say about Klaus. Isobel told us that no one knows where Klaus is but there are rumors about the doppelgängers existence and that will make every vampire who wants to reach Klaus search for us. Isobel offered us to stay in a house she has in Elena's name so she can be safe since no vampire can get in without her permission. Elena denied her offer but that gives the idea to Stefan and Damon to write their home under Elena's name so she can be safe there.
Katherine injected Stefan with vervain and Caroline compelled Matt to forget everything about vampires him.

Isobel took Elena and me to her grave and while we were talking, Isobel got a phone call from someone. I'll never forget the moment Isobel apologized to us for what she has done to her. She precisely removed her necklace that protected her from the sun and she burned in front of Elena and me. She screamed in agony as the light drained from her eyes and she collapsed on top of an empty grave.

I had to watch as a living, blood, parent of mine died. Elena didn't seem bothered, as a matter of fact, she was relieved. In fact, she was so over it that today, she's signing the deed to the Salvatore house in her name.

I stayed outside with the Salvatores, sitting on a wall and kicking the side. "You think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" I asked, looking at Stefan. "She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so..." He trailed off. Damon sighed. "We just need to find him." I looked at Damon and agreed. "Wait, could she do one of those witch tracking spells?" I asked. "Nope. Not without something that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked." Stefan looked at me. "It's inevitable. Elena and I are gonna be sacrificed." I whispered. "Don't talk like that, Sundance. No one is dying." Damon snapped. "You can't protect me forever. Elena is human and I'm not just going to be around for 80 to 90 years, Damon. You made sure of that. Klaus is going to recognize me without a doubt." I grabbed Damon's hands and cupped them in mine. "I'm going to die," I whispered. Damon tore his hands from mine and walked towards the door. Elena opened it and pardoned the lawyer away.

Elena walked away smiling. Damon tried getting in but forgot the barrier. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot." My sister said with a smirk. "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?" She asked. "I would love to. Thank you." He replied, walking inside. "What are we, twelve?" Damon scoffed. "One of us is. Hint: The one that's the size as Bigfoot." I snickered. "I have something the size of Big-"

Elena cut him off. "If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house? Seriously, Damon. My way. You promised. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?" She pushed. "Yes, Elena. Sure." Damon rolled his eyes. Elena invited him inside and looked at me. She hesitated, but let me in.

Bonnie walked in from another room and handed Elena her jacket. I rolled my eyes. "You are not going to school, Elena," I said. "No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it. Klaus is out there. We know that." Damon strained. "Right. But where? No one knows. Look, I appreciate what you guys are doing. And I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner. The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be. Come on." Elena looked at Bonnie. The witch promised to keep Elena safe. I groaned as Stefan said he'd go too. I reluctantly grabbed my bag. "Fine then," I mumbled. Damon twirled me back to him. "Nope. You stay." He frowned. "I'd rather not." I hummed, taking my arm from his grasp.
