"It was true that Jack was hunting the Old Ones, just as we were. But
he didn’t want to make the world safer. Jack had created a new kind of
vampire through drugs and surgeries instead of blood and magic. The
vampires Jack made are terrifying: immune to sunlight and vervain and,
according to Damon, impossible to kill by any of the usual methods.
Jack didn’t want any competition for his lab-created race of vampires.
So he set out to eliminate the most dangerous vampires, the oldest ones. Not
just the ancient Old Ones, but also the clever, long-lived vampires who have
lasted a few centuries. Vampires like Katherine and Damon. Like Stefan.
Jack used us all—my Guardian Power, Stefan and Meredith’s fighting
ability, Bonnie’s magic—as weapons against Solomon. The Old One was
too well hidden for Jack to find on his own. But once Solomon was dead,
Stefan was just another obstacle in Jack’s way.
We don’t know where Jack is now, or what he’s planning next. The
hunters who traveled with him—Trinity, Darlene, and Alex—were as fooled
by him as we were. They’ve left town, trying to track Jack. But they haven’t
got a clue where he might be."
