The Girl of Prophecy

The Descent

[Salvatore Boarding House]

Alura was in the library with Rose, reluctantly trying to soothe her. She was getting worse. Damon enters carrying blood bags for her. He offers Alura one knowing she didn't have any after last night. She declines, knowing it'd only help Klaus (and hopefully not others) show up faster. "I was born in 1450, that makes me 560 years old." Rose states, smiling sadly.

"Well, if you were a bottle of wine..." Damon says trailing off.

"So, I can die. I've lived long enough." Rose says accepting that she is going to die.

"You know, if you're gonna be morn, I'm just gonna kill you myself just to put me out of your misery." Ali states, not wanting to hear anything sad. She was miserable enough the way it was after exhausting herself the night before.

Damon pours blood from the bag into a glass, Alura looks away from the blood. "Come on, it's just a little werewolf bite." Damon says as if she'd been scraped.

"Just a little, fatal to a vampire werewolf bite." Rose states, knowing she won't survive.

"Well, according to a legend which is notoriously unreliable source. Drink up." He gives her the glass of blood. "Blood heals."

She drinks. "Yeah, it does feel like it's working."

"Let's have a look, come on. Let me see." Damon says moving her shirt out of the way. Alura looks at the bite mark; it has gotten much worse and has spread further down her back.

"How is it?" Rose asks.

"Definitely...better. Right, Elena?" Ali lies, turning to Elena who has just entered the room. Alura gives her a look telling her to please play along.

Elena seems shocked by Rose's wounds. Rose looks at her. "Um, it's not bad." Elena says.

"Where's Stefan?" Damon questions her.

"He left. I need you to talk to him. He's convinced that he has to find Isobel, but I think that's gonna upset Elijah." Elena states.

"No, can do. I'm with Stefan on this one but if you could play nurse for a little while..." Damon looks to both Elena and Ali. Alura glares at him. He knows I don't want to be around this.

"It's not necessary." Rose shakes her head. Damon is right though; she can't be left alone.

"It is necessary. Elena is a do-gooder. It's in her nature, she just can't resist." He leaves the room giving Ali a look to follow him. She walks out after him, Elena following.

"Damon. Is she gonna die?" Elena asks concerned for the woman.

"Probably. The wolf bite caused some kind of infection and it's getting worse." Damon states.

"Like poison?" She questions.

Alura nods as Damon says "I don't know, Elena. I'm not an expert in the field."

"I'm sorry." Elena says looking at Damon. Elena and Ali both watch him carefully; He and Rose had become friends.

"Death happens. We come; we go. Sooner she dies the better. It's gloomy as hell in here." Damon states, masking his emotions. Elena and Ali both look at each other knowingly as he leaves.

[Mystic Grill]

Jules joins Sheriff Forbes at the bar. "Sheriff Forbes, hi. I'm Mason Lockwood's friend from Florida."

Sheriff Forbes looks at the woman "Jules, right?"

"Is there any news?" Jules asks.

Sheriff Forbes shakes her head. "No one's heard from him. I've opened an investigation. As soon as I hear anything, I'll let you know."
