She tells him that more werewolves are coming.
[The woods] (Jules wakes up. She's naked. She gets up, walks and finds bodies mutilated. She dresses up with some of the camper's clothes and puts the limbs together so she can make a fire. She's starting the fire when a policeman arrives. He gets out of his car and come towards her. She pretends to be crying) Policeman: good morning. Is everything alright here? Jules: It was an animal. Fragment (consider revising) He came at us at the night Policeman: Are you okay? Jules: Yes but my friends! They're all dead Policeman: I'm calling item (He goes towards his car but Jules hits him really hard with a wooden stick two times. She kills him) [Salvatore's house] (Elena enters Stefan's bedroom) Elena: Stefan? Stefan? You're standing right behind me, aren't you? Stefan: Yep (She turns herself and kisses him) Stefan: Good morning Elena: I don't want us to be apart anymore. Never Stefan: Me neither, but... Elena: Don't ruin the moment (They kiss again but Stefan stops) Elena: You're about to ruin the moment, aren't you? Stefan: I'm totally ruining the moment. Look, I can't just pretend like everything is okay Elena: Katherine's locked away in the tomb Stefan: I know but we've still this pressing little issue of you being Klaus' human sacrifice (She opens one of Stefan's drawer and takes a foil with vervain and opens it) Elena: Yeah but Elijah promised to keep me and everyone else safe as long as we'd play by his rules Stefan: Right. As long as you'll play by his rules (She puts the vervain in a glass) Elena: Please don't go after Isobel Stefan: Katherine said Isobel could have some answers and I just have a couple questions, that's all (She pours water in the glass with the vervain in it. She drinks) Elena: Stefan, I made a deal with Elijah Stefan: Right, you made a deal with him. I didn't make one. You should keep your deal Elena: Stefan, I don't want anyone else to get hurt Stefan: When have I ever wanted somebody to get hurt? (She shows him the glass) Elena: Vervain. I made it late but are you sure? Just because Katherine build up a tolerance... Stefan: Yes, bottoms up (He takes the glass and drinks but he coughs) Elena: Are you okay? Stefan: Yeah Elena: How can Elijah compel another vampire? Stefan: He's an original. I don't really know what that means. I don't think anybody really knows what that means. Well, except maybe Isobel. I'll maybe we should ask her (He kisses her and leaves) (Rose is in the library, she seems sick. Damon rejoins her) Rose: I was born in 1450, that makes me 560 years old Damon: Well, if you were a bottle of wine... Rose: So I can die. I've lived long enough Damon: You know, if you're gonna be morn, I'm just gonna kill you myself just to put me out of your misery. (He pours blood in a glass) Damon: Come on, it's just a little werewolf bite Rose: Just a lethal, fatal to a vampire werewolf bite Damon: Well, according to a legend which is notoriously unreliable source. Drink out (He gives her the glass of blood) Damon: Blood heals (She drinks) Rose: Yeah, it does feel like it's working Damon: Let's have a look, come on. Let me see (he looks at the wounds but it's kind of infected and worse) Rose: How is it? Damon: Definitely better. Right, Elena? (Elena is in the room and seems chocked by Rose's wounds. Rose looks at her) Elena: Uh, it's not bad. Damon: Where's Stefan? Elena: He left. I need you to talk to him. He's convinced that he has to find Isobel but I think that's gonna upset Elijah Damon: No, can't do. I'm with Stefan on this one but if you could play nurse for a little while... Rose: It's not necessary Damon: It is necessary. Elena is a do-gooder. It's in her nature, she just can't resist (He leaves the room. Elena looks at Rose and rejoins him) Elena: Damon. Is she gonna die? Damon: Probably. The wolf bite caused some kind of infection and it's getting worse Elena: Like poison? Damon: I don't know, Elena. I'm not an expert in the field Elena: I'm sorry Damon: Death happens. We come, we go. Sooner she dies will better. It's gloomy as hell in here [Mystic Falls' high school] (Everyone is preparing the booster club barbecue. Caroline rejoins Tyler) Caroline: How are you feeling? Tyler: I'm okay. I'm sore, every muscle hakes Caroline: You did it. You know, you... your first full moon and you didn't hurt anyone. It'll get easier. You'll get better at it, you'll learn how to control it and it won't hurt so much Tyler: Well, we don't know any of that for sure Caroline: No but small victories, Tyler. Last night was a victory. You know, let's take it Tyler: Look, I really want to thank you. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there (She smiles) Caroline: Yeah, anyway, uh... next month we should probably reinforce the wall because you almost got me that one time and it just would have been, uh... Tyler: What? Caroline: Never mind, it's... Tyler: Hey, no, hey. What is it? Caroline: Well, it's not a big thing, it's just that one bites and it's... you know, curtains for me Tyler: What are you talking about? Caroline: The legend says that a bite from a werewolf can kill a vampire Tyler: How do you know that? Caroline: I... read it somewhere... (Matt rejoins them) Matt: Caroline, you got a second? Tyler: Hey, Matt Caroline: Yeah, sure Tyler: I'll see you guys later (He leaves so they can be alone) Caroline: That was nothing, okay? There is nothing going on between Tyler and I, we were just talking... Matt: I believe you. Look, Caroline, you're a lot a things but you're not a liar. You've always been strait with me, I believe you Caroline: Well, good Matt: And that's why I want to be strait with you because I... I think we have some wires crossed here Caroline: Oh, okay Matt: And you know how tauter I get and I don't like this. Whatever this is that's going on between us and I... I just want to... (He kisses her ) Caroline: Hey, you can't Matt: Why? Caroline: That's just... Matt: But Carrie... Caroline: No Matt, okay? (She leaves) [Mystic Grill] (Jules rejoins Sheriff Forbes at the bar) Jules: Sheriff Forbes, hi. I'm Mason Lockwood's friend from Florida Sheriff: Jules, right? Jules: Is there any news? Sheriff: No one's heard from him. I've opened an investigation. As soon as I hear anything I let you know (Alaric is looking at them. He calls Damon) Alaric: Hey, Damon. The wolf is at the grill (She sits down at a table. Stefan rejoins him) Stefan: Is it the....? Alaric: Yeah, yeah. I just left Damon a message Stefan: So you're doing his dirty work for him now Alaric: She could have a cure for Rose. I couldn't find anything in Isobel's research except that it's fatal Stefan: Do you still have a way to get in touch wit Isobel? Alaric: Even if I did, she isn't gonna help Stefan: Katherine said that Isobel knew of Klaus Alaric: So this isn't about Rose, it's about Elena. I have an old number, probably out of service Stefan: No harm in giving it to me then? Alaric: You know you can't trust Isobel, even when it comes to Elena Stefan: I know that Alaric: Alright. I'm gonna see if I can find the number. If I do, I'll text it to you (He leaves) [Salvatore's house] (Rose and Elena are in Damon's bedroom. Elena puts her in the bed) Rose: I hate this. I'm a vampire, I've never had a cold in five centuries Elena: Just get in the bed Rose: We don't get sick. When we die, it's fast and sudden and it's certainly not drawn out in illness Elena: You're not gonna die Rose: It's such a human thing to say (Elena looks around her) Rose: You've never been in Damon's room before, have you? (She takes a book and looks at it. Its ''Gone with the wind'') Rose: Not what you expected? Elena: It's just a room with a bed. Maybe I expected them to be silk sheets (They smile) Rose: You're lucky, you know. No one's ever love me the way you're loved Elena: I doubt that Rose: Trevor was my best friend. Nothing more. I spent all this years on the run from Elijah. I just never thought it was a good idea to set up roots. The whole idea of family is not exactly compatible with being a vampire. Why are you so eager to give up? Elena: I'm not giving up on anything (She gives her a glass of blood) Rose: What do you call this all deal with Elijah? Elena: I call it my best option Rose: It's the easiest option Elena: That's not fair Rose: Do you really think that your witch friend destroyed the moonstone? Elena: I spoke with Bonnie. I know that she had the help of another witch; unless you mean it's Elijah's witch so no, I don't Rose: You really are determined to die, aren't you? At least I ran, you're not even trying (She closes her eyes) Rose: I'm so tired (Elena is leaving but Rose is talking in her sleep) Rose: No, stop, wait. Tell them to prepare the horses Elena: It's okay Rose. Just get some sleep. You'll feel better when you'll wake up Rose: Trevor, don't be so stupid. You'll never going to make it there before the sun (Suddenly she sits down. She's in pain) Rose: Elena, Elena, I need more blood Elena: Yeah, of course, here (she gives her the glass of blood. Rose drinks but threw everything up) Elena: It's okay, everything's gonna be alright (She rushes to the bathroom. When Elena comes back, Rose's not here anymore. When she turns herself, Rose is here and pushes her hardly against the wall) Rose: Everything's your fault, Katerina. You Katerina, you did this Elena: No Rose, I'm Elena Rose: You betrayed us! Elena: I'm not Katherine! (Rose releases her) Rose: Elena? Elena: It's me, it's Elena Rose: Oh my god Elena. I'm so sorry. I don't know what's happening to me. I'm sorry Elena: You're gonna be alright Rose: My mind, I'm... Elena: It was just for a second Rose: I'm sorry, don't be scared of me Elena: I'm not. I'm not but you need to rest (Rose lays on the bed) Rose: I'm scared Elena: You're not alone. I'm right here Rose: Here, where's here? Elena: Damon's bedroom, you're in Damon's bedroom Rose: I want to go home Elena: Tell me about it Rose: St.Austell, 30 kilometers of the south of London. With fields and trees and horses Elena: Sounds beautiful Rose: When you live long enough, everything disappears. So much time wasted, I just wish I wouldn't have been so afraid [Mystic grill] (Jules is eating. Stefan's looking at her. He looks at his phone, Alaric's texted him the number. He calls but no one answers. He leaves a message.) Stefan: Isobel, it's Stefan Salvatore. I need to speak with you, it's about Elena. Please know that it's important (He hangs up and sees Damon. He sees Jules and goes toward her but Stefan stops him) Damon: What are you doing here? Stefan: I was waiting for you. Listen, there's a lot of people here Damon: Oh, damn. My plan was to rip her spleen through her back Stefan: Hey, listen, I know you're upset about Rose Damon: Why does everyone think that I'm upset about Rose? I'm fine. I don't know if you know this but sometimes, vampires die. I'm gonna have a friendly chat with lady wolf, brother. Ease up (He rejoins Jules. The number Stefan's called is calling. He answers and leaves) Jules: Well, if he doesn't the one I meant to kill...I'll have to get that right next time Damon: You won't leave to see another full moon unless... unless you tell me how to cure a wolf bite and then I won't kill you Jules: Promise? Damon: Yes Jules: Bite me (She gets up but Damon catches her arm) Jules: I'm not afraid of you Damon: Then you are very, very stupid Jules: How's your friend? Rose, is that her name? have the chills started? The unbearable pain? Damon: If there's a cure, tell me or start watching your back Jules: Did I mention the dementia? It'll eat away her brain. Soon she'll be rabid. You want a cure? I'll tell you the only cure that exists: take a stake and drive it through her heart (She leaves) [Salvatore's house] (Elena enters Damon's bedroom with new sheets) Elena: I brought some clean sheets (Rose is not here. Elena leaves the room to see where she is. She enters the library and calls Damon) Elena: It's Elena, I'm worried about Rose. I think you should come home (She hears a noise and go towards it. She finds Rose drinking blood from a bag. There's a lot of empty blood bags around her) Elena: Oh my god Rose: Katerina Elena: No (Rose goes after her. Elena runs) Elena: Rose, stop, stop, it's Elena. I'm not Katherine (Rose stops) Elena: You're hallucinating. I'm not Katherine (Rose catches her and pushes her on the floor. Elena opens the curtain. Rose is hurt by the sun so Elena runs. She tries to gets out of the house but Rose stops her and tries to bites her but Elena catches her wounds. Rose screams and Elena runs. She goes in Stefan's bedroom, locks the door and puts a furniture behind it. She opens the window so the sun can enter the room and breaks a wooden chair to make a stake. Rose tries to open the door) Rose: Elena? I know that's you and not Katerina. Elena, please, I need your help [Mystic Falls' high school] (Caroline is in a corridor. Matt rejoins her) Matt: Caroline. Why? Caroline: Why what? Matt: I kissed you Caroline: I know, I was there Matt: So why did you run away? Caroline: You got me off guard Matt: Yeah? Caroline: What did you except me to do? Matt: Not that Caroline: Well, I'm sorry Matt: And...? Caroline: And what? What do you want me to say, Matt? Matt: Something, anything. How did you feel? Anything in the roam of truth right now would be nice Caroline: Okay, I feel... like I.... I love you Matt: I love you then what's the problem? What are you keeping from me, Carrie? Look, if you love, you'll tell me so what is it? (She doesn't say anything. A cheerleader arrives) Dana: Hey Matt, we need more burgers Matt: Yeah, not now Dana (When he turns himself to talk to Caroline, she's not here) [SCENE_BREAK] [Salvatore's house] (It's night.

She bites him and drinks her blood. He falls on the floor, he's dead.) (Damon rejoins the sheriff. The police's found the body) Damon: Hey Sheriff: Thanks for coming so quickly Damon: No, I was close by Liz, what happened? Sheriff: A vampire. Luckily one of my deputies discovered the body before anyone else saw him Damon: You have to secure the area then Sheriff: I take the east side of the school, you go west? Damon: Sure, okay (Elena Is here too. She leaves a message to Stefan) Elena: Hey, Stefan, it's me. I don't know where you are but please call me. It's important (Damon rejoins her) Elena: Hey. Have you heard from him? Do you know what he's up to? Damon: My baby brother is not exactly my priority right now. Take this (He gives her a stake) Damon: Come on, let's go (They leave) (Two students are going to their car) Boy: Hey, what was going on back there with the police? Girl: Some maintenance man had a hard attack. He was drop dead (she goes into the car and waits for her boyfriend but he doesn't arrive) Girl: Eddie? (His body falls on the car. The girl screams. She goes out of the car but Rose is here and bites her. Damon arrives) Damon: Rose, stop! (She rushes toward him but he catches her and puts her on the floor) Damon: Rose, Rose!

I wasn't meant to be evil. It hurts Damon: Stop talking about it Rose: Damon's a lot like me. He wants to care but when he does he runs away from it.
