“I think we should go” Damon said, looking at the clock. It was eleven p.m. “Okay, I’ll just go refresh myself and then we can leave” Elena said. She got up and walked to a red door next to the desk. To get there she had to pass the table were tattoo-guy and companions were still sitting. She felt her heart beating faster and she got sweaty palms. But they didn’t look up and she reached the bathroom without a problem. When she closed the door behind her she dared to breathe again. There were two doors opposite of each other. One said men, the other women. She opened the women’s door and walked in.
The three guys were getting ready to leave. Other than them and Damon and Elena no one was there. “I’m going to wash my hands first. These paper things are worthless” tattoo-guy said. “I’ll be right back” He walked to the bathroom, where he saw Elena standing by the hand basin. It was a large one, so several people could stand next to each other. Elena shoved up a little when she saw him. He opened the tap and washed his hands. When he was ready he turned around at Elena.
“Hey, I eh, I wanted to apologize. What I did in there was unacceptable” he said. “It’s been a while since I saw a beautiful girl, let alone talk to one. I was just showing off”
Elena nodded.
“That guy in there” he continued, looking at the door. “Is he your boyfriend?”
“Damon?” Elena said. “No, he’s not… I’m actually dating his brother Stefan”
“So you’re dating Stefan, but you go out with Damon. What is this, some open relationship? I like this Stefan, he seems like a very sharing person” tattoo-guy said. “I’m sure he won’t mind if I do this” he leaned forward and forced a kiss on her.
“Don’t do that” Elena said and she pushed the guy away… But he was really strong. “A girl like you shouldn’t be dressed like that” he said with a hungry look in his eyes. He pushed her against the basin with one hand and with the other he opened his belt. “Nooo, please, don’t hurt me!” Elena screamed.
Damon got up and headed to the bathroom, but in the middle of the hallway he was blocked by Stefan.
“Get out of my way” Damon said agitated.
“Why?” Stefan asked arrogant.
“Elena, she…” Damon panted.
Stefan grabbed his collar. “What did you do to her?”
“Nothing! Will you just listen?” Damon said angry and nervous.
Stefan focused and listened.
Elena was screaming, tattoo-guy was laughing, they heard a bang, bone breaking and a body that hit the floor. And all of that happened in the one minute Stefan and Damon were standing there face to face.
Stefan finally let go of Damon and together they ran into the bathroom. Tattoo-guy was lying on the ground, blood coming out of his head. There was blood on the basin too. Apparently he had fallen on the basin, broke his skull and dropped dead. They heard sobbing and turned around. Elena was sitting in a corner, her arms around her legs, crying. Damon wanted to go to her, but this time Stefan was quicker. He ducked and lay his hands on hers. “Elena, sweetie? Look at me” he said, lifting up her chin. “This is not your fault. He tried to do something really bad and you just defended yourself. It was an accident”
Elena looked at Damon. “I just did what you told me to. You said if anyone wanted to hurt me I had to hurt them first”
“Elena, we’re going to walk out of here, and we’ll get you home” Stefan said.
“What are you going to do with the body?” Elena asked.
“I’ll take care of it” Damon said. “As soon as I know you’re safe. Are you okay with that?” he asked Stefan. Stefan nodded and the three of them walked out.
As soon as they were really gone, tattoo-guy moved and scribbled up.
“I thought they’d never leave” he said and he slowly walked out of the bathroom, and out of the hamburger place.

“You’re going to regret this” Rebekah said trembling. “That’s my necklace. I lost it, back in the twenties. On the night I met your brother” Klaus never said she couldn’t tell Damon.
“You’re lying” Damon replied supercilious.
“Am I, now?” Rebekah said slowly as she stepped closer to Damon. “Stefan knew how to experience all the perks of being a vampire. We had so much fun together, while you were probably sulking over your dear Katherine”
“And you’re telling me this, because?” Damon wondered.
“Stefan and I have a past, a present and if you back off and don’t pull of stunts like you just did, then we might have a future” Rebekah answered threatening.
“But pulling stunts is so fun” Damon replied.
“You don’t want be on my bad side, Damon” Rebekah threatened. Suddenly she gasped, her eyes bulged and her face turned dark grey.
“No” a female voice said. “But I do”
Rebekah fell down and Katherine appeared.
“You’re lying” Damon replied supercilious.

The Hospital
The door of the examination room slammed open and doctor Fell looked up. “Would you mind waiting outside, please?”she said annoyed.
Tyler ignored her and walked straight to the bed.
“How are you feeling?” he asked worried.
“I’m okay” Veronica said. “Doctor Fell gave me a miracle drug. I’m as good as new”
Meredith shot her a warning glance.
“How did you know where I was?” Veronica wondered.
“Rachel told me” Tyler explained. “She told me Rebekah attacked you”
Veronica shook her head. “Actually it was Stefan” she said.
“Why would Stefan want to hurt you?” Tyler asked skeptic. “He doesn’t even know you”
“Neither does Rebekah” Veronica shrugged. “They know. They know that we’re going to try and take them down. We’re going to have to move fast”
“No, what you need to do is stay away from Rebekah” Tyler said. “I mean it, Ronnie, she’s dangerous”
“So am I” Veronica said sharp.

Elena’s doctor was driving on the road. There was not many traffic, so she’d be at work fast. Then she’d have some time to do some paperwork.
The radio was playing lame music, so she looked for a CD. While she put Switchfoot in the CD-player, she had her eyes off the road for two seconds. When she looked up again she screamed.
There was a woman standing in the middle of the road. She had long, dark blonde hair, green eyes and she looked rather pale.
The doctor braked and her car made a few turns before it stood still. Before she got out she needed to get her heart beat under control.
Her door opened and a familiar man appeared.
“Are you all right?” Alaric asked concerned.
The doctor nodded heavy, breathing fast.
“What happened?” Alaric asked.
She looked at Alaric, thinking he’d think she’s crazy.
“I thought I saw a ghost” she said quickly as if it wouldn’t sound so insane if she said it fast.
