Stefan and Amber were standing in a corner, whispering, when they were interrupted by a woman. “What are you two chatting about?” she asked suspicious. Stefan rotated his head to the woman. “I can’t remember Klaus put you in charge, so until he does I’m not going to explain myself to you” he said calm, but sharp. The women straightened her back. “Klaus told me to get you. He’s gathering all vampires, well, not the hostages of course. They’re not reliable enough yet. They would try to escape. So, are you coming?” Stefan and Amber traded glances. “Sure” They followed the woman outside to the lawn. Klaus was surrounded by his followers. As Stefan and Amber entered the circle, he started speaking. “Well, now that we’re finally complete… we can get started” he said with a hoarse yet clear voice. “We’re going on a hunt” Cheering all around. “Feed, but don’t kill. And bring your victims here. The killing will be a job for our guests to do” he continued referring to the imprisoned vampires. “You’re going West”
“You’re not coming with us?” Stefan asked. “No, Stefan, I am not” He looked at Amber. “And neither is your little friend” Amber frowned. “What? Why? I want to come, I can do it. I know I can” she insisted. Klaus cut off her complains with a movement of his hand. “Enough” he said. He walked towards her and took her arm. He commanded the others to hunt and as they ran off he guided Amber back inside the hotel building they were staying in. “I have something to discuss with you” he started. Amber, too afraid to respond, only stared at him. “I have seen your closeness with Mr. Salvatore and I couldn’t help but wonder if there is something going on between the two of you. I can’t have romances in my neighborhood, you see” Klaus explained. Amber heavily shook her head. “No, no, nothing is going on” she desperately said. “We’re not having an affair or something. We’re just friends. We talk” Klaus raised his eyebrows and a smirk appeared on his face. “Good friends, I assume. The kind that would help each other out, make plans to escape? Tell me, Amber” he said looking her straight in the eye, “have you and Mr. Salvatore been making plans to escape?”

It was five minutes to Midnight. Jeremy wandered around at Fell’s Church, glancing at his watch. He looked around to see if the nurse wasn’t there yet. He heard murmur behind him and turned around quickly.
“Don’t say I’m late” the nurse said when Jeremy opened his mouth. She looked around to see if no one could see them.
“I doubt anyone’s going to see this” Jeremy mumbled. The nurse sighed and put her hand in her pocket. She took out a cylinder box and gave it to Jeremy. Sonata it said. “It’s a new medicine. It only stays in your body for a short time, and it works if you have trouble falling asleep. It’s safe, but take only one. If something happens it’s on me” she said worried.
“No one would know you gave me the pills” Jeremy said. “I’m not going to betray you”
“Well, that’s a relief” the nurse said cynical.
“Hey, can I know your name?” Jeremy asked.
But the girl was already gone.
