I was at the hospital but I get a call from Damon. I stayed overnight, on no sleep. I head to the boarding house.

"How's your mom?" Damon asks.

"She's stable. But I was scared Katherine compelled her to do something else so I stayed up all night. Alaric and Elena are with her right now."

"Come. Something happened." Damon says and we see Caroline and Stefan. "Go ahead, tell them. You're gonna love this."

"I saw Katherine today." Caroline says.

"Where?" Stefan asks.

"At the grill. I just stopped by to gawk and... quasi-stalk Matt."

"Skip the teen drama and get to it." Damon says, rolling his eyes.

"Then I had to pretend to use the bathroom even though I didn't really have to go, cause I'm a dufus. Then Katherine was there and said I needed to deliver a message." Caroline explains.

"What's the message, Care?" I ask.

"She said to tell Damon and Stefan that she wants the Moon Stone or she will rip this town apart until it rains blood." Caroline says.

"Tell then the rest of it." Damon says.

"Tonight, at the masquerade ball." Caroline sighs.

"She wants to do it in public. Killing Mason threw her off guard." Stefan says, which didn't even phase me. Mason tried to kill Stefan and Damon.

"She's running scared. What she did to your mom was desperate. She's out of tricks." Damon tells me.

"We can't underestimate her. We have to play this smarter than her." Stefan says.

"Can't we just give her the Moon Stone so she'll leave?" Caroline asks.

"No." Damon immediately responds. "Katherine's not getting dick. I've had it. I'm gonna go to the masquerade ball and I'm going to kill her. Tonight."

"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan says.

"Don't give me that goody-goody crap." Damon says, annoyed.

"You're not gonna kill her." Stefan repeats himself.

"Oh, really?"

"Because I am." Stefan responds to Damon and Damon smirks

"And for you, I recommend this." Alaric shows me a hunter gadget you put on your wrist. "Fits nicely under a jacket sleeve. Here's the trigger when you're ready. Now are you sure you want to do this?" Alaric asks me.

"Well I'm getting forced to be involved with this plan." I say, glaring at Damon.

"Really, Damon she's 15." Alaric crosses his arms.

"And she can handle this. She's coming incase anything goes wrong. Nothing major. And she has to learn how to protect herself." Damon says.

"Do I have to?" I ask.

"No. Alaric can drive you home and you guys can watch Elena. I don't want her knowing about any of this." Stefan says which makes Damon roll his eyes.

(Not your pov)

"Really Stefan?" Damon says.

"If she doesn't want to be there, then we won't put that kind of pressure and anxiety on her. She's only 15. How much longer until she breaks. Her anxiety got bad from saving me yesterday. Then her mom almost died. She can use a night of no supernatural drama." Stefan explains.

"She underestimate her Stefan. Yes she's 15, but she can handle All of this stuff. She was able to go down that well and save you, she's able to do all this stuff, even if she doesn't know it."

"I feel like an invalid." Jenna tells me and Elena.

"That's because you are an invalid." Elena says which makes me chuckle a little. "Where's Jeremy? Isn't he hungry?" Elena asks as I take a slice of pizza.

"He already left for the Lockwood party." Jenna says.

"He went to that?" Elena asks then looked at me. "I'm gonna get some napkins. Ashley is going to get us waters." Elena says glaring at me. She knows something is up.

"What's going on?" Elena asks me and Alaric.

"What do you mean?" Alaric says.

"I haven't heard from anyone all day. It's like everyone's been avoiding me. And now Jeremy's supposedly at the party? He hates stuff like that." Elena says.

Then, Alaric makes up this stupid explanation which makes no sense at all. Alaric walks away and I was about to too.

"What's happening?" Elena asks me. "I know you know."

"Ok fine. Stefan doesn't want you at the ball cause they are planning to kill Katherine. They are all on the plan. And I didn't go because I hate wearing dresses." I explain.

"Well, we are going." Elena says grabbing the keys.

—

"What the hell is going on?!" Elena whisper shouts at Jeremy, we got to the Lockwood's. Jeremy just glared at me.

"I tried. She's stubborn." I say.

"You're trying to kill her here?" Elena asks Jeremy and Bonnie.

"We saw an opportunity, and knew we'd had to take it." Jeremy says.

"Ok. Stop with the "we". Are you guys crazy?" Elena asks. "You could get yourselves killed."

"We know what we're doing, Elena." Bonnie assures.

"And how am I supposed to feel if one of you gets hurt because of me?"

"It's not just yo anymore Lena. Everyone wants her dead. She has messed with everyone including my mom." I explain, but a couple seconds later Elena starts screaming in pain.

"Elena!" I shout, as we see a blood stain on the back of her shirt. "What happened?" I ask Bonnie and Jeremy.

"Jeremy it's Katherine! She's linked to Katherine! Get them to stop, now!" Bonnie tells Jeremy and he starts running.

"Lena, squeeze my hand. It'll help." I say and she grabs onto my hand really tight.

"Bonnie, Ash, it hurts." Elena cries out.

"I can't break the spell, Elena. I'm sorry. But I can try to take some of the pain away. Ok?" Bonnie says and starts chanting.

Jeremy comes running back. "Elena are you okay? Damon and Stefan are stuck in there with Katherine. And you were right. Katherine had a witch link Elena to her." Jeremy explains.

"That girl I saw. The one inside. Stay with her. Keep pressure on her shoulder. I have to find the other witch." Bonnie says, running away.

Elena's pain is finally gone, so she goes to talk to Stefan while I wait for her. "How did it go?" I ask. I could tell she didn't want to talk about it.

We head to the car, but all I see is a guy with a mask on take Elena and i black out the second after.
