FINCH WAS with Stefan and Elena searching through the Gilbert family memorabilia as they looked for the Gilbert journal. The witch sat with her legs spayed out on either side of a box, she was currently leaning over with her head stuck inside of as she rooted through the things in it. Stefan sits at the breakfast bar looking in between the girl at his feet and the one standing,

Elena clears her throat, "Do you think Damon really believes us? That we're all trying to help him?"

"I don't think Damon knows what to believe. Trust isn't something that comes naturally to him." Stefan admits sadly

Finch, who was still bent over the box, speaks, "I think he deserves a little bit of happiness after ever thing he's done. No deserves to be miserable for the rest of their lives, even if they are grouchy old antiques who are sour fangs." Finch suddenly lit up, "Yay, he has a new nickname."

Elena sighs, watching Finch, "You know...I really think that Damon believes that everything he's done, every move that he's made, he's done for love. It's twisted, but kind of sad."

"There are other ways to get what you want. You don't have to kill people. Damon has no regard for human life. He enjoys inflicting pain on others. For 145 years, every single time that I have let my guard down and let Damon back into my life, he's done something to make me regret that. I'm not going to make that mistake again." Stefan argues

The human nods, switching onto different topics, "So what do you think will happen if the tomb gets opened and Damon gets Katherine back?"

"I think that no matter what Damon promises, a lot of people will die." The vampire says sincerely

Elena exhales loudly and picks up a photo from the box. Stefan gets up and stands behind Elena, examining the photo, "That's Johnathan Gilbert."

Elena looks down into the box, puzzled, "What's this?" Elena opens up a wooden box. What appears to be a muzzle is contained within it.

"Thats medival." Finch mutters as she stands up, staring at it, Jeremy walks into the room,

"What are you guys doing?" He asks smiling quickly at Finch who waves in response

"Hey. Just going through some stuff, feeling sentimental. Dad had this old family journal from years ago. I thought I'd dig it up." Elena lies easily

Jeremy sits down on the kitchen counter, "Johnathan Gilbert's journal?"

"Yeah, what do you know about it?"
