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 committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her purse on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minute later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”

The next morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a heart attack” Zoey said and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia said breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the television and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four year old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey said trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia said confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The door of Meg’s motel room opened and Meg stared at the door way. She was still stuck under the Key of Solomon.
“Anna told me you were innocent for a change” Sam said.
“Well, now that you’ve discovered I’m actually a saint, could you get me out of here?” Meg suggested. Sam shook his head and walked towards her, though kept a safe distance. “First I want to set a few things straight. Castiel is not going to leave prison, unless you do something. Personally, I don’t care if you killed that man or not. What I do care about is that you’re the only one who can get him out of there” Sam said.
“Why would I help him? What’s in it for me?” Meg wanted to know.
“If you do the right thing, then I guarantee you Dean and I will never try to kill you again. You’ll be off our radar for good” Sam said.
That was a tempting offer. “What do you want me to do?” she asked.
