Damon slammed the door open and breathed heavy through his nose. Though it was pitch dark, he could smell the scent of fresh blood. So could Stefan and Katherine. Stefan bent and touched the ground.
“I don’t understand” he mumbled desperate. “Amber is my friend. Why would she attack Elena?”
“Maybe because she’s a psychotic vampire?” Damon snapped sarcastic. He was having so many different emotions right now there was no room for pity for his brother. “Seriously, what were you thinking? How long have you known this chick? What made you think you can trust her? She tried to kill Elena before and yet you let her in?”
Stefan, who had stand up during Damon’s tirade, went through his hair. “She said she was sorry and I believed her. It was stupid, I know that now” he exclaimed. He didn’t understand any of this. Amber was supposed to help him, but she totally turned her back on him. He shook his head in denial. Then he looked up, hit by realization. “Amber, what did Klaus ask you?” Amber freed herself and shot Stefan an annoyed glance. “Let go of me, Stefan. What Klaus and I had to discuss is none of your business. Now back off” she snapped all hostile.
“Klaus” he said soft yet everyone in the room could hear him. “He must’ve compelled her to attack Elena… He must’ve known”
Damon nodded scared.
“There’s something else you should know” Stefan said. Now that they were about to find out he felt it only appropriate they heard it from him.
“Stefan, I really can only focus on saving Elena right now” Damon said agitated.
“I abducted Caroline” Stefan ignored Damon. “She’s not with her father”
“Whàt?” Damon said.
“I knew it!” Katherine triumphed at the same time. “Sorry” she added when everyone stared at her.
“Caroline knew too much, she had to be taken care of” Stefan explained.
“By taking care you mean…” Katherine said.
“She’s not dead, but she’s a vampire and it’s a full moon tonight. And we have Tyler as well” Stefan said quickly. “Tyler would’ve find her absence suspicious”
“So you took care of him, too?” Damon said. “Way to go, bro”
“I know where they are, but we have to move fast. As soon as the moon has risen Klaus will take all vampires and werewolves on a hunt and let them kill anyone on their path, including Elena” Stefan said.
“You go ahead. Take Katherine with you” Damon said. He looked at Alaric. “We’re going to have a little chat with Bonnie”
“I don’t understand” he mumbled desperate. “Amber is my friend. Why would she attack Elena?”

Gerard got home from his work. He hung his coat on the rack and walked into the sitting room. He saw Zoey sitting in the couch, writing something.
“Eh, what are you doing here?” he asked and Zoey looked up.
“I’m writing a goodbye letter” Zoey smiled.
“For me?” Gerard asked cynical. Zoey stood up and walked to her ex-husband.
“No, not for you” she shook her head. “From you” She touched his forehead with her index and middle finger and Gerard fell unconscious.
As if he was a feather she carried him upstairs and put him on a chair. She took the rope which she had kept in the room as a preparation and winded it tightly around Gerard’s neck. The other end she tied to the chandelier. She pulled the chair away and a second later she heard a snap.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single bed and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shirt and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he said weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg said absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas said with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
