The next morning
Elena had just left for school and Damon was cleaning the table, when he heard strange noises.
“Show yourself” he said annoyed. What was it with people thinking they could just walk in here like they owned this place? He did. And Stefan and Elena did. Anyone else should learn how to knock.
The weird noises stopped and an old familiar appeared.
“No, not you again” Damon groaned. “Whatever you’re selling, I’m not buying it”
“I need your help” Derek said nervous.
“Why is that?” Damon said sarcastic.
Derek conjured his cell phone and showed Damon the last few taxes he received. “I know what you are and I’m going to tell everybody?” Damon read. “I know Tyler got them too and you and your brother and your friends will receive them too” Derek said. “Someone wants to expose all supernatural’s in this town and I know who it is”
“Care for sharing?” Damon asked bored.
“There’s this new girl, Veronica Chambers, who works in The Grill. She talked to Tyler about supernatural beings. She knows about you and Stefan. She knows about the rings” Derek said.
“No one’s going to believe her” Damon said.
“She doesn’t want people to believe her” Derek said. “She wants us dead”
“Well, we can’t let that happen, now can we?” Damon said.
“So, like I said, I need your help” Derek said.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

Damon raced outside and got into his car. He turned around the keys and drove onto the street. He then pushed the accelerator pedal and raced ahead.
He tried to keep his eyes open. He should have drunken some blood, if only just a little bit. He could almost feel his body breaking inside. But he had to stay awake long enough to get to the hospital.
Other drivers were hooting, because he drove from right to left and from left to right.
“Where did you get your driving license?!” someone yelled angry.
Damon felt his eyes fall down. The car drove for another few yards, while other drivers tried to avoid it.
Then the car drove off the road, turned over three times, landed on its upper side and caught fire.
