Ariana woke up in Damon's bed. She turned on her side and looked at Damon, who was sleeping next to her. She gazed at him for a moment before he spoke up.

"This would be so much more fun if we were naked."

"That was your call, not mine." Ariana pointed out. Damon opened his eyes to look at her.

"I was being a gentleman." He rolled over onto his back. "You shouldn't have stayed."

"I know..." Ariana sighed. Damon got out of the bed and walked over to his dresser.

"I should have made you leave. Sent you packing." Damon took his shirt off and took a fresh shirt out of his drawer, putting it on. "You're sired to me, Ana. Which means everything that you think you feel might not even be real."

"I know, Damon, but it feels real." Ariana got off the bed and walked over to Damon. "And I'm not ready to let go of that."

"Well, I can make you. Invoke the sire bond." Damon replied.

"So do it." Ariana shrugged nonchalantly, knowing that he wouldn't, and she was right, because Damon wrapped his arms around her waist.

"You know I can't do that, baby. You're mine now, remember?"

"Oh, I remember." Ariana grinned, leaning up to gently kiss Damon's lips. "So, what do you want to do now?"

"I wanna throw you back in my bed and never let you leave." Damon whispered sexily. Ariana giggled happily.

"So do it."

Damon and Ariana were about to kiss again, but Ariana's cell phone interrupted them. Ariana sighed in frustration and took out her phone.

"I have to meet Bonnie. She's teaching Jeremy how not to kill Elena and I." She walked back towards the bed and picked up her bag. She looked up at Damon. "Wanna come?"

Adrian walked into the cellar where Tyler and Kim awaited him.

"I'm sick of taking his crap. I should rip his throat out. See if he can boss us around without a larynx."

"You won't have to take it much longer." Tyler reassured.

"You keep saying that, but here we are hiding, plotting a revolution that's never gonna happen!" Kim exclaimed, just as Hayley and Avery entered the cellar.

"Never say never and never say we don't pull through. Hales and I found the witch that's gonna save your lives." Avery smiled.

"Are you serious?" Adrian asked, but Avery and Hayley continued to smile.

"We promised you guys we'd free you from Klaus. You did your part by breaking your sire bond, now Hayley, Avery, and I are gonna do ours." Tyler stated.

Jeremy was outside of the Gilbert lake house, chopping wood. He pulled the axe out of the log he just chopped and placed it into a tree trunk where a small wooden stake lay. He picked up the stake and stared at it. He then threw it down, picking the axe back up and chopping another piece of wood with vigor. Suddenly, he saw two cars pull up in the driveway. One continued Damon and Ariana, while the other contained Nathan and Elena.

Jeremy walked in front of the cars and looked at four of them.

"They shouldn't be here."

"They're here to help you." Bonnie told. Jeremy continued to stare at the four vampires. "Do you trust me?"
