With a phone between her shoulder and ear, Faith struggled to place a golden bracelet around her wrist. Her injuries had somewhat healed from her punishment from two weeks ago, leaving only scars. Still struggling to hook the bracelet on, Faith spoke to the phone. "Marcel, please tell me you have your eyes on her."

"I'm looking at her climbing up a slide," the vampire told her.

"I told you to keep her inside," Faith hissed through the phone. "Someone told Katherine about her and she threatened me with her."

She heard Marcel sigh and could faintly hear the vampire telling Dani that it was time to leave. "I got a lead on a new vampire that arrived in New Orleans about a week ago. We're going to go check it out tonight."

"If they're responsible, kill the bastard for me," Faith said before hanging up. She set the phone down before managing to hook the bracelet around her wrist.

She was wearing a dark red off shoulder lace dress with the back being a few inches longer than the front. Her eyes were covered by a black lace masquerade mask with her hair smoothly combed in their natural curls and matching black lace-up heels. She wore her usual teardrop ruby necklace with a simple gold necklace and two golden bracelets on each wrist.

All her jewelry was for storing magic, specifically Katherine's. The brunette vampire had threatened Dani's life and Faith wasn't going to let that go. The siphoner could've killed the vampire last night, but she couldn't until she was sure the toddler was safe. Plus, Faith knew she could take in large amounts of magic but even she had a limit. She needed whatever extra magic into the jewelry she wore to the Masquerade Ball.

Katherine was going to pay.

Faith walked toward the dance floor outside where she could see Katherine and Stefan dancing. She walked through couples before she arrived next to the two vampires dancing. Her blue eyes met the brunette's brown eyes.

"My little witch," Katherine smirked.

Stefan turned and was surprised to see Faith. He knew the siphoner wouldn't team up with Katherine. She hated her as much as she hated the vampire's doppelgänger. The only reason she hasn't killed Elena was that she was Jeremy's sister and had the Salvatore brothers backing her up. "Faith?"

Their attention went to Aimee. "Hey Stefan, I can't find Matt," the girl then turned to Katherine and Faith. "Oh my god, Elena, Faith! You look so gorge."

Faith frowned at the slang whereas Katherine smiled and thanked the girl. "Thank you. I love your necklace."

"Oh, thanks."

"Oh, it's twisted," Katherine told her before she motioned for Faith to move behind the oblivious girl. "Let Faith fix it for you."

"Katherine," the siphoner stepped threateningly at the vampire.

The brunette smirked. "You wouldn't want Dani to get hurt now do you?"

Faith tensed, not meeting Stefan's eyes as she moved behind the innocent girl. Instead of fixing her necklace, Faith flicked her hand. There was a cracking sound and Faith pushed the now-dead girl toward Stefan. Katherine smirked at her work and turned to the Salvatore.

"The moonstone, Stefan. Tick tock," she said before dragging the siphoner away.

"Your witch friend is following us," Lucy whispered to Faith as the siphoner drank another glass of champagne.

"I need to be drunk to even talk to you, Bennett's," Faith mumbled. "Always so self-righteous."

They left the hallway and into a dining room. They let Bonnie walk further into the room before appearing behind her. Bonnie turned around and saw Faith and the other witch standing in front of her.

"Who are you?" Bonnie asked Lucy as Faith picked up another glass of champagne.

"Lucy," she said with a smile. "I should have known I'd run into a Bennett. Look, I have no interest in fighting you."

Faith sighed, mumbling to herself. "I really need a joint right now."

The Bennett witches glanced at the siphoner before turning their attention to each other.

"Then stop the spell you put on my friend," Bonnie bargained.

"Give Katherine the moonstone and I will," Lucy countered.

"Why are you helping Katherine? Don't you know what she is?" Bonnie asked Lucy before turning to Faith. "And you. Faith, you hate Katherine almost as much as Elena, but you wouldn't kill her if it meant hurting Jeremy so why are you?"

"Just give the bitch the damn stone, Bonnie," Faith demanded, stepping closer to the younger Bennett witch.

Lucy pulled the siphoner away from her relative. "We don't want to hurt you."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"I don't have a choice. The bitch saved my life and now I owe her. I have to pay up," Lucy explained before trying to leave the room. She was stopped by Bonnie grabbing her wrist.

Lucy looked at her. "You have the moonstone. I can sense it on you."

Faith moved to grab Bonnie, but Lucy pulled her away. Getting annoyed by the older woman pulling her, she pushed the Bennet witch up against some drawers beside them. She held her by the neck, glaring at her. "Stop touching me, Lucy, or I will snap your neck."

"Faith, stop!" Bonnie whisper-yelled, noticing the attention the siphoner was drawing by her actions. "I'll give her, only her, the moonstone."

Faith glanced at her and Bonnie nodded, promising her she will give up the stone. Reluctantly, Faith pulled away from the older witch. Lucy kept her eyes on the siphoner until she felt safe. She turned to Bonnie.

"You can trust me. Give it to me, it's okay."

Faith walked up to the room where the Salvatore brothers and Katherine stood inside. Lucy was behind her, holding onto the moonstone.

"Katherine," Faith caught the vampire's attention.

"Little witch," Katherine smirked. "Break the barrier."

Faith glanced back at Lucy and the witch nodded. Taking a deep breath, Faith placed her hands up against the invisible barrier and her hands glowed faintly in red. In seconds, the barrier disappeared and the magic was transferred inside of Faith. Lucy stepped forward with the moonstone in hand.

"When I hand this over my debt to you is over," Lucy said.

"Done," the vampire replied.

"I owe you nothing," Lucy repeated.

"I said done. Give it."

"I wouldn't do that," Damon warned.

"Just give her the damn thing," Faith snapped, feeling the whole situation was taking too long.

Lucy handed Katherine the moonstone. The moment the stone was on her palm, the vampire struggled to breathe. "You should have told me another witch was involved. She's a Bennett witch, Katherine, but I'm sure you knew that."

"Wait, Elena-" Stefan began.

"Your little girlfriend is fine," Faith walked forward, signaling Lucy to leave. She crouched down to where Katherine laid on the floor, choking. "You're lucky, Lucy didn't go with my plan, Katherine, or you would be dead right now, but I thought it would be great to see you be mummified."

The brunette looked up at her, afraid as Faith smirked. "Oh, and your little vampire that was watching Dani is dead. Hope you didn't like him too much." She stood up and glanced at the Salvatore brothers who looked shocked. "Well, who's carrying her?"

"Who the hell is Dani?" Damon blurted out.

Faith disappeared from the room before Damon started pestering with questions. She walked through the parking lot. Her blue eyes narrowed as she turned around. A power force hit her on the side of the head causing Faith to fall on the barren ground. Her eyes struggled to keep open as she saw her attacker. A man in a mask before she went unconscious.
