Imarina's POV

I'm sun bathing on the dock of the Gilbert Lake House while Stefan talks to Damon on the phone. I arrived last night, Stefan believe I need a break from Mystic Falls after what happened with the wolves. Jaguar has come back, but is still weak.

"What's going on? " he asks Damon.

"Well, I showered. I shaved. Had breakfast. Very relaxed" Damon states and I hum in agreement stretching.

"That makes two of you" Stefan states looking down at my content smile.

"I did hear one piece of good news though. Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night" Damon tells him.

'That is great news, no more werewolves' Jaguar states and I hum in agreement.

"How do you know?" Stefan asks him.

"Well, I heard it from Sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood, thus, ending our werewolf chapter, bringing us to..." Damon starts.

"Killing Elijah" Stefan and I finish together as I sit up.

"Well, it's not going to be easy. He's crafty" Stefan tells us.

"True" I say nodding my head in agreement.

"Well, I've got a crafty little dagger" Damon states.

'At least it can only be used on one original, so Klaus will be safe as they only have one' Jaguar states.

"He's an Original. We don't know what all that encompasses" Stefan remind him.

"Oh, trust me, Stefan. I'm gonna dot all my i's. I don't want any surprises" Damon assures him.

"Wow, Damon, tell me you're actually gonna be careful for once?" I ask smirking.

"Yes Imarina, I've become Stefan. How tragic for all of us. Got to run. I've a murder to plan. Busy day" he says and hangs up. Stefan lowers his phone and looks at Elena through the window. He walks back up to the house. While I remain on the dock.

So what was that other thing you wished to tell me about? I ask Jaguar. Before we were interrupted I clarify.

'The reason why the werecats guards were down back in Ancient Egypt' she states. 'We are different to other supernatural creatures, we're more in touch with our animal sides. In fact beast and human become one over time. It's already happening, I am becoming more mellow and level headed. You more furiously protective of the vampires and will soon get cat like abilities.

A lone werecat has to main goals in life. One is to protect vampires and the other is to create a pride to protect the vampire blood line better. You know how vampires and werewolves are more sexually active. It's the same with male werecats. But females of our kind take it one step further to ensure they become pregnant' she explains.

How? I ask her confused.

'We go into heat and produce a hormone that makes us very sensitive and produces multiple eggs in the womb. Our hormones also alert male werecats that we're ready to reproduce. However, if no male is around. A female will find the strongest human, one with a strong protective instinct to have sex with. She'll quickly become pregnant' she explains.

So you're saying I'll go into heat soon? And have a baby? I ask her. I'm only eighteen I state.

'It matters not your age, you are sexually mature. When Klaus comes it'll trigger your heat within a week. Only way to avoid it is to already be pregnant' she tells me.

Great, just great I grumble in my head.

'Why not Matt? He is strong and very protective' she tells me.

He's also dating Caroline I remind her.

'They are currently on a break' she reminds me.

Because Tyler was making moves on Caroline, but he's gone now I state. Look there's still time to find someone single. Klaus is not here I assure her.

'I am sorry, but you had to know' she tells me. I nod my head and my phone rings.

"Hello" I say.

"Imarina, it's Elijah. I just called to see how you're feeling after what happened with the wolves" he states.

"I was enjoying getting a tan until your call" I state as I roll onto my stomach.

"Glad to hear you are resting, so I take it you won't be at the dinner party tonight?" he asks.

"Nope, I'll just be chilling and watching old movies" I tell him.

"Good, well I'll leave you to it. But when you return, there is something I wish to discuss with you" he states.

"What?" I ask him confused. "Gonna threaten me again?" I ask.

"No, and I shall tell you when you return. Have a good night Imarina" he says and hangs up. I shrug and go back to tanning. Until I grew hungry, then I go inside for a bite to eat and something to drink. I sit on the couch and Elena soon joins me with one of her old family journals.

"Anything interesting?" I ask her.

"Johnathan Gilbert got crazier and crazier. I guess that's what happens when you spend your life obsessed with vampires" she states as she turns to another page. "He researched Originals" she adds as Stefan walks into the room.

"You're kidding" Stefan says.

"Pages and pages of questions and scribbles" she says showing it to us. She then lips through the pages and eventually stops on one. A picture of the silver dagger has been drawn on it. "What's that?" she asks out loud. "The wood from one tree and one tree alone, an ancient white oak would bring death to an Original vampire. When the tree burned, all hope was thought lost" She reads out loud.

'He was trying to find a way to kill an original' Jaguar states.

"But the ash from the tree was saved and witches forged a dagger to which the ash could be bonded. This alchemic bond provides the necessary poison" Elena continues to read. "I wonder if this is true. I mean, do you think this dagger actually exists?" she asks us.

"It does" I tell her.

"John gave it to Damon" Stefan adds.

"John gave Damon the weapon that's supposed to kill Elijah? This one?" she asks pointing to the drawing. Stefan nods his head.

"It must be brandished by humans alone, for it will bring death to all demons who wield it" she reads. I grab my phone and try to call Damon. He doesn't answer. "What's wrong?" she asks us.

"John's trying to get Damon killed" Stefan tells her. "Try Alaric" he tells me. I nod my head and dial Alaric as Stefan tries to call Damon himself.

"Imarina, what is it?" Alaric asks me.

"Damon can't use the dagger, it'll kill any demon who wields it. You have to stop him" I tell him.

"I'm on it" he assures me and hangs up.

"Alaric say's he's on it" I tell the pair and they relax. Elena leaves the room. "Go talk to her" I tell Stefan and he does so. I pick up the journal and decide to read it for myself. Should I tell them they have to leave the dagger in? I ask Jaguar.

'It would be best, otherwise we'll have to deal with a vengeful original and we are not back to full strength' she tells me. I nod my head as Stefan enters the room.

"Elijah's dead. Alaric did it" he states.

I spot a paragraph and smile. "Originals believed in truth and honor. It was forbidden for a vampire to kill another vampire. So, the dagger would take both lives. And as long as the dagger stays in place, the Original, for all intents and purposes, is dead" I read. Stefan takes it from me, then calls Damon.

Damon soon arrives with the dagger and ash. He hid his car to ensure Elijah won't be suspicious. Stefan and I hear Elijah arrive. "You two have to go. I need to talk to him alone" Elena tells Stefan and I.

"Elena..." Stefan tries to protest.

"Stefan, I'm okay. He can't come in the house" she reminds him.

"You know, I might not be able to enter this house...But I'm a very patient man. I'll wait you out" Elijah tells us. Elena slowly walks out from behind the wall. Stefan and I stay hidden there. She walks towards the front door but stays inside the house.

"They shouldn't have done what they did" she tells him.

"The deal is off" he tells her.

"I'm renegotiating" she states.

"You have nothing left to negotiate with" Elijah tells her. There is a moment's silence. Then, Elena pulls out a knife. I look at Stefan warily.

"I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelgänger bleeds to death" she tells him.

"Imarina and Stefan won't let you die" Elijah states.

"No, they won't. Stefan will feed me his blood to heal me, and then I'll kill myself and become a vampire, just like Katherine did" she states. "So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before...promise me...You won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you" she tells him.

"I'm sorry, Elena. I'm going to have to call your bluff" he tells her. Elena breathes out and points the knife to her stomach. Elijah watches her, unsure of what she will do. Elena looks up at him and stabs herself in the stomach.

She screams in pain and falls to the floor. There is blood gushing everywhere. Elijah rushes towards the door, but stops at the threshold because he has not been invited in. Elena drops the knife on the floor and clutches her stomach. "No! Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you" Elijah tells her frantically.

"Give me your word" she demands.

"I give you my word" he vows. Elena limps outside and into Elijah's arms. Suddenly, she stabs Elijah with the silver dagger and Elijah falls to the ground, dead. Elena falls to the ground as well, weak from the blood loss.

Stefan rushes out of the house, bites his wrist, and feeds Elena his blood. He places his chin on the top of her head. Damon and I walk out and stand in the doorway. Stefan cradles Elena's face in his hands and they both look at us. "Little tip. Don't pull the dagger out" Damon tells us and I roll my eyes.

"Can I go back to my vacation now?" I ask them. "No more werewovles, no Katherine, Elijah is dead and Klaus is not here yet" I state.

"I think we can all enjoy some time off" Stefan states. "But lets go home" he adds. We all return to the boarding house. I decide to call it a night. While Stefan and Damon put Elijah in the cellar. I change and do my teeth, then fall asleep curled up under the covers.
