The throne room was quiet as the gods and demigods fought through the shock of the Sun and the Moon Curse being fake.

Annabeth, on the verge of a mental breakdown, had her hands locked in the roots of her hair as Percy attempted to soothe her racing mind. Her failure to identify Klaus and Elijah's lie had dealt a heavy blow to her ego.

Her mother was in a similar state of distress, being patted on the back by a reluctant Hermes, who looked as though he wanted to be anywhere but there. He sent a glare towards Ares and Apollo, who were snickering in the back row.

"I hate you," he mouthed, eliciting another round of snickers from his half-brothers.

GILBERT RESIDENCE

[Alaric/Klaus, Jenna and Stefan are sitting at the table having dinner.]

Klaus/Alaric: Oh, I know this all sounds so crazy, but...vampires are real. Would you care for some more wine?

"I would," Dionysus grumbled, earning a glare from his father.

[She gets up to get a bottle of wine for Jenna.]

Jenna: Get out.

Klaus/Alaric: Excuse me?

Jenna: I don't know what it is you're trying to do or why you're saying these things, but...

Klaus/Alaric: Jenna...

Jenna: I said get out!

[Stefan gets up.]

Stefan: You heard her.

Klaus/Alaric: I'm afraid I don't want to.

Jenna: Fine! I'll go.

[Klaus/Alaric picks up a kitchen knife off the counter.]

Klaus/Alaric: You're not going anywhere.

[Stefan grabs her and pushes her against the wall with his super speed and puts the knife on her throat. Klaus/Alaric laughs.]

Jenna: Stefan!

Stefan: Jenna, get out of here now!

Klaus/Alaric: You can't kill me, Stefan.

Stefan: Watch me!

Jenna: Stefan!

Klaus/Alaric: I may not have a witch protecting me today, but if you kill this body, what's to stop me from choosing Jenna as my next one?

Stefan: Jenna, go.

Jenna: But you're...you...

[He looks at her. His face has changed.]

The demigods gaped as they caught their first glimpse at a vampire's true face. They'd faced off against a variety of monsters but never anything so human-like. It was unsettling to find out that these monsters had been lurking over their shoulders the entire time.

Stefan: (Shouting.) I said go!

[She runs out of the house.]

Klaus/Alaric: Kill me. Just remind Elena how easy it will be for me to get my revenge if she tries to stop me from breaking this curse.

[Stefan punches her in the face and once Klaus/Alaric is on the floor, he kicks her in the stomach. He throws the knife on the floor and leaves.]

Kol was confused by his sister's refusal to fight the younger Salvatore brother. Even in another body, human or not, she was more than capable of killing a baby vampire. "Why the bloody hell did you let him throw you around like a rag doll?" he asked.
