Alex's P.O.V  (Outfit Above ^^^)

I only went upstairs after Damon had walked into his and locked the door behind us. I went back to my room and told Klaus everything. "I'm sorry, my love. I know you wanted to see her again," Klaus apologized.

"It's ok," I told him. "The twins didn't wake up did they?"

"No, no, they slept through the whole thing," Klaus replied and I sighed. He brought me in his arms again. I didn't realize how much I needed a hug after everything.

"I'm worried about Damon," I confessed.

"I know."

I pulled away and looked up at him, "Would you mind if I stay for another day? Just to make sure he's ok, or he doesn't do anything stupid."

"That's fine. But we need to leave," Klaus said looking at our kids.

"Yeah," I agreed.

Klaus packed him and the twins up; we were very careful not to wake them. Once they were all in the car I said my final goodbyes before Klaus drove off.

~The Next Morning~

I'm happy Klaus left last night. While Damon and I were dealing with Kai, Caroline had somehow managed to turn off Stefan's humanity, so now we have two emotionless vampires to worry about. Now it's ten in the morning, and I am currently standing behind the couch in the parlor room - drinking away all my problems - while Damon destroyed the chair in front of me...with an iron poker. Elena walked into the room and up to Damon.

"Damon." He stopped hitting the chair and turned to his girlfriend. "What are you doing?" Elena asked.

"Looking for a healthy outlet for my rage," Damon answered and used the poker to smash a lamp.

"He hasn't found it yet," I informed her after downing my fourth drink.

"Stefan without his humanity is one artery away from being the Ripper again, and every day that goes by is one year of guilt waiting for him on the other side," Damon ranted to us.

Elena came down the stairs and I handed her a glass of whiskey. She took it with a smile then made her way closer to my brother, as I made my way to the couch. "Yeah, well, not to add to our growing pile of bad news, but...we didn't just lose Stefan. We lost our chance to spark Caroline's humanity. Turns out, he was her emotional trigger," Elena explained.

"Smart girl," I hummed and Elena looked at me. "What? It's true. Destroy the thing that would make you turn it on or remind you of your humanity. It's why I took off my locket when Damon and my kids were 'dead.'" Elena sighed and turned back to her boyfriend, who was handing her the poker.

"No thanks," Elena said, with a shake of her head.

"Well, take it away from me...because I'm seconds away from using it on this," Damon said to her. He grabbed the video camera that Bonnie brought back from the prison world. I walked up to him and took the poker away, before sitting down again. Elena looked at the still frame of our Mom on the screen.
