Stefan and Katherine ran through the woods. Stefan had ditched the car on the edge, because it would be too noisy. Katherine stuck her arm out. “Don’t move” she said, rotating her head from left to right. “There’s someone with us”
And a second later Amber appeared in their sight.
“You!” Stefan growled and he wanted to attack her, but Katherine stopped him. “Not now, Stefan. First let’s safe Elena, then you can kill her”
“How could you?” Stefan said unbelieving. “I trusted you. I told you my whole life”
“I know” Amber said. “I have listened very carefully, I have kept it in mind, and now I’ve used that information, because I needed it… Thanks again for your endless tales, Stefan”
“Where’s Elena?” Katherine asked. She realized Stefan was too angry to speak.
“Klaus sends me to take you to him. He will bring you to her as soon as he feels like it” she smiled. She took Stefan and Katherine’s arm and brought them to the back of the hotel, where Klaus was waiting for them.
“Well done, Amber, well done” Klaus congratulated the teen vamp. Amber grinned as if Klaus had given her a lollypop. “Stefan, you’re probably shocked by Amber’s betrayal. I bet you’re eager to hear what her role was in my plan. Yes, Stefan, she’s part of my plan all along, even before you killed her”
The grin on Ambers face vanished and suspicion and a whiff of fear came over her. “What are you talking about?”
“You remember you abducted the Sherriff’s daughter? You thought Amber would just destroy her files and any evidence of her existence, but I compelled her to check on the doppelganger, see if she was really dead” Klaus explained, ignoring Amber. Katherine sneaked away to the backdoor of the hotel. Though Klaus could smell the human blood she had with her he didn’t do anything to stop her.
“I was with her all the time” Stefan said confused. “When did you?”
“Ah, there were times you were less focused” Klaus said. “Usually when your head was with your human girlfriend”
“Why did you think Elena was still alive?” Stefan asked.
“I’ve been around for a very long time, Stefan. I don’t easily get fooled” Klaus said. “Plus you couldn’t stop talking about her to Amber”
Idiot, Stefan thought, how could you be so reckless?
“On the night I sent you and the vampires on a hunt and I kept Amber here I compelled her to tell me if you were plotting into escaping. Well, you know what the answer was. And I’m sure you understand I was quite unpleased to know that not only the doppelganger was still walking and talking, but you were also going to betray me. So I told Amber to attack Miss Gilbert and bring her to me. I knew it would bring you straight back to me” Klaus ended.
Stefan looked at Amber, trying to understand. She was compelled, she couldn’t help it. But Ambers eyes were hooked on Klaus. “What do you mean I was a part of it before I was killed?” she asked agitated.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot” Klaus said. He looked over his shoulder. “You can bring her in now” He looked at Amber. “I’ve a little surprise for you” He stepped side wards so Amber had a clear view. At first she saw nothing. Then someone came in view. He was dragging someone with him. Amber covered her mouth and her eyes bulged. “Kelsey!”
And a second later Amber appeared in their sight.

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up by the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting next to her. He looked familiar. As she tried to recall she felt an insistent pain in her neck. She lay her hand on it, to see what it was. “I bit you, that’s why you’re in pain” Stefan explained. Amber looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked, crawling backwards. Stefan reached out his hand. “I’m here to help you” he said softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she said terrified. Stefan didn’t move an inch. “You need help. You’re in transition, it’s not a nice feeling if you don’t feed anytime soon. I bet you’re starving” he said. Amber shook her head heavily as her stomach rattled. “I’m going home” she said with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
Zoey woke up in a hospital bed. She wasn’t happy to be there. Crowley had taken away her angel powers and she was completely human again.
She walked to the door and opened it. She came face to face with a guardian.
“Miss Allen, where are you going?” the guardian asked.
“What is this?” Zoey frowned. “Why is there police guarding my room?”
“I’m just following orders, Miss Allen” the guardian answered. “My boss has a few questions for you”
“Then I guess you should call him” Zoey said and she walked back into her room.
She walked to the window and opened it. Her room was on ground floor, so she didn’t have to climb that deep. She swung her leg over the edge, followed by her other leg. She jumped and landed on the pavers. She turned around and ran away.

Meg was browsing through the pages of Daphne’s book, hoping to find something that could prove Cas’ innocence. While she read she listened carefully to hear if Zoey was on her back yet.
Maybe everyone was awake again. After all, the building was full of staff. Meg wasn’t in prison, she was being held custody, until someone told her how long she’d be convicted.
So it was very assumable Zoey had been caught and thrown out. Or maybe she’s been arrested for trying to help Meg escape.
“Hello?!” Meg shouted to be sure.
No respond.
“Is anyone there?” Meg yelled.
Again no answer.
“Zoey!” Meg yelled again.
Complete silence.
“Okay, stay calm” Meg told herself. “Zoey’s just very confused and upset about the trial. She can only think about Alexia, so she forgot about me”
The other theory was that Zoey got killed, because she tried to help Cas.
