Logan walks out of the warehouse into the parking lot, heading for his car. The sound of something falling behind him causes him to turn and look around in suspicion. After a moment of hearing nothing Logan turns back around and comes face to face with Alaric.

"Who are you?" Logan asks, taking a cautious step back.

"A friend of Finn's."

"Finn sent you?"

The right side of Alaric's mouth twitches upward "He sent me a message, said that if he doesn't contact me within three hours he's been betrayed," he twirls the stake "He's gone so it's up to me to pick up the slack."

"He sent you to die!" Logan yells as he lunges at Alaric. Moving quickly, Alaric digs the stake deep into Logan's chest and drops the body to the ground.

Alaric looks down at the body and sighs "I hope you're okay Finn."

Elena drives away from Stefan's house, tears running down her face. She glances at the clock and it reads 12:34A.M. She gasps as a figure appears in the darkness and is hit head on by Elena's vehicle. Elena slams on the breaks and ends up flipping her vehicle. It flips four times before landing upside down.

Sobbing, Elena looks around, trying to comprehend what had happened. She hears the sound of bones breaking and looks to where the body landed and sees it healing. The body gets up and walks slowly towards Elena and she lets out a terrified scream.

Finn jolts awake and lets his eyes adjust to the dim lighting, noting the chains holding his hands above his head. "Finally you're awake." a voice says deeper in the room "We've been waiting for you to wake up."

Finn looks around at the two keeping him hostage. "What's the time?" He asks in a rough voice, keeping his eyes on both the sheriff and Damon. "It's almost midnight-"

His eyes shift to Sheriff Forbes, "Then there's still time." he says before clearing his throat. "Time for what?" Damon asks, lifting his eyebrow in the same manner his brother does.

"Elena's in danger, I need to help her-"

"Absolutely not!" The sheriff yells, cutting Finn off. "She's going to get into an accident! There's still the matter of who turned Logan to deal with and I'm pretty damn sure they're going after Elena next!" Finn shouts as he struggles against the chains, "We did figure it out." Sheriff Forbes says "You're obviously the one who turned him, now we're going to get rid of you."

"When is this 'accident' supposed to happen?" Damon asks, stepping closer to Finn "Twelve thirty four, there's still time!" Finn strains as he pulls at the chains with all his strength.

"Where?"

"I... " Finn stalls, trying to recall every detail of the memory "I don't know, but she will be leaving the Salvatore estate, she has to be in that area." Pieces of the ceiling fall as he tugs harder on the chains.

"I'm going to go and drive around to see if it's true." Damon says, heading for the exit.

"Wait Damon," Sheriff Forbes calls after him, "What makes you believe anything he says?" "He's obviously not working alone, who knows who else he turned."

Sheriff Forbes sighs "Alright but what do we do with him? He's definitely a special breed who can't die." Damon eyes Finn up and down for a moment before giving a cold smile "Well we could bleed him out, wait until he desiccates then seal him shut in a coffin and bury him somewhere." Finn stops moving and his eyes widen in shock, "Since he can't die like a normal vampire he'll have to live in isolation, unable to move, the only thing he'll feel is excruciating pain."

Finn's body begins to shake, his heart races and his palms begin to sweat, "No." he whimpers, "Anything but that." The Sheriff and Damon look at Finn in confusion, "Set me on fire or cut my head off and bury it across town, I cannot go back!" he roars, pulling at the chains with a renewed fervor.

"At this rate he'll escape, I don't know of anywhere to contain him while we bleed him out." Sheriff Forbes says as she pulls a syringe full of vervain out of her pocket, "All I can do is weaken him for at least a few hours but other than that I'm useless."

"There's a cell in the basement of the salvatore residence, don't worry Stefan doesn't know it exists. I can hold him there until he desiccates or we get a coffin full of vervain ready." Damon says, he looks at the syringe "Time is ticking, if what he says is true Elena is in great danger so we need to move him now."

Sheriff Forbes rushes forward and stabs the needle as deep as she can into Finn's chest as he thrashes about, pushing the vervain into his system. After what seemed like forever Finn's body stops moving, going completely limp. "Let's load him up and take him to your cellar, quickly, it's almost time."

The Sheriff and Damon unchain Finn and drag him out of the basement and up into an abandoned house. They lift him up to avoid unsettling the dust even more and carry him out to Damon's car just outside the door. "I have more vervain shots just like the one I gave him, he'll be out for a couple of hours," the sheriff says, handing Damon the syringes "I will trust you with him." They place Finn into the backseat of the car and Damon jumps into the driver's seat. Damon waves to the Sheriff as she speeds off, leaving him with an unconscious original vampire. He quickly looks at the time on the dashboard and lets out a curse, he has ten minutes left to save Elena.

Stefan paces his room as he calls Elena's phone for the millionth time in the past five minutes. His phone chimes with a text message and he checks it right away 'Going out of town for a bit, do me a favor and build a coffin laced with vervain. It's for Finn, we're getting rid of him once and for all.' "Damnit Damon, what are you doing?" He closes his phone and shakes his head before going to a shed located in the garden and withdrawing an axe "This better be worth it." he sets out towards the woods to collect the lumber needed to build a strong and heavy casket.

Finn jerks awake and finds himself in the dark, surrounded by carpet and the smell of exhaust. "Am I seriously in the trunk of a car?" he mutters to himself, his head jerks up as the trunk opens, revealing a dark skinned woman with curly hair. "Oh good you're awake, the ancestors were screaming at me until I managed to get away from the bar."

She holds out a hand to Finn who happily accepts and hauls himself out of the trunk, "Where am I?" he asks as he moves some of his hair out of his eyes.

"Georgia." The woman answers.

"Georgia?!" Finn repeats back in shock, he looks back at the vehicle he was trapped in, "What the fuck is Damon doing out here?" He wonders as he closes the trunk.

"He's trying to find an alternative way to free the vampires underneath the church." the witch says as she crosses her arms "I told him how, only because I know he won't be making it out alive."

Finn runs a hand through his loose hair and shifts his eyes to the bar, noticing a man standing by the door, reeking of death, "Is that where the vamp comes in?"

The witch smiles, "Lexi was the love of his life. I knew he'd want revenge once the opportunity was thrust upon him and here it is." The witch says, Finn "Perfect, I'll make sure the job is done then I'll drive back to Mystic Falls."

"He's not alone." The witch cuts in, "Who's with him?" Finn asks skeptically, thinking of Stefan.

"A young woman, most likely a teenager."

"Elena." Finn growls out, "Of course he'd take her. Where are they now?"

"In the bar, getting drunk with the locals."

Finn struts towards the bar with the witch in tow, "Good, and how does the lover boy hope to kill the eldest Salvatore?"

Said vampire reaches into his pocket and withdrawals a lighter, igniting it with a cold, hard smile. Finn looks at the flame and mirrors the vampire's smile "Wonderful. Now, should we get started?"

Elena steps outside onto the deck of the bar and moves to close the door but she stumbles and drops her phone. She giggles to herself and picks her phone up before trying to stand. A hand reaches out to her and she gladly takes it. She stands and raises her eyes to meet Finn's, "Finn!" she shouts out in excitement, "It's okay Jenna, Finn is here!" she says into the phone before hanging it up and attempting to put it in her back pocket, not hearing it fall to the ground.

"Come on let's play pool!" She says as she moves to go back inside only to stumble and fall forward. Finn catches her, catching her by her torso to keep her stable, "How much have you had to drink?" he asks, she turns around in his hold and smiles brightly at him, "Enough" she giggles, swaying slightly. She places her hands onto his chest "I didn't know your hair was long." she says as she reaches up to play with a loose strand.

Slowly, Elena's smile falls away and she drops her hand from his hair and stares at the floor. "Are you okay?" Finn asks as he gently moves his hands away from her back and rests them onto her arms. Elena slowly looks up and stares deep into his eyes, tears threatening to fall, "I don't want to go back Finn. I look just like Katherine and there's another vampire after me and-" A tear falls from her left eye as she takes a deep breath, "And I can only handle so much." she says before breaking into a sob, she buries her face in his chest and lets the tears flow.

Finn pulls Elena in for a hug, softly running a hand through her hair, "Look Elena-"

"It's time." Lexi's boyfriend says as he walks up onto the porch, "Let's get started."

Elena lifts her head off of Finn's chest and looks at the man in confusion, tears streaming down her face, she then looks at Finn "What's going on?"

Finn gently wipes away her tears with his thumbs "I'm sorry," he says tenderly "I have to finish my mission," He caresses her cheek, "Damon has to die." She pulls out of his reach and looks at the man behind her who's veins blacken and he smiles, flashing his fangs. Elena's eyes widen in horror, "What?!"

The vampire grabs Elena roughly and drags her to the back of the bar where an industrial plant stands; Finn follows, picking up a piece of discarded wood and pulls it apart to create a makeshift stake.

The vampire opens one of the doors of the fence and points to the top of a ladder, "Get up there and do not move." he growls out, Elena nods rapidly and climbs the ladder, her body shaking in fear. "He won't hurt you Elena, we just need to draw Damon out." Finn reassures, "I didn't know hunters work with vampires." The man says, "Only when it benefits us." Finn responds as he hides in the darkness.

Minuets pass and he paces slightly as he waits for his cue to drive the wood deep into Damon's heart. He pauses when he hears Elena's voice and listens to her as she pleads with Lexi's boyfriend to spare Damon. He growls when he sees the vampire standing down and makes his way to the trio. "Useless." he says right before he shoves the piece of wood into the vampire's heart. Finn withdrawals the piece of wood and drops the body onto the floor.

Damon's eyes widen in shock "How'd you get out?" "Doesn't matter, I'm not going back." Finn says before he pounces on Damon, pulling his arm back, aiming for his heart. Damon reaches into his jacket pocket and removes a case, seeing the case and catching the scent of vervain, Finn drops his arm to stab Damon "No!" Elena shouts, grabbing onto Finn's arm, holding onto it with all of her strength. Finn whips his head to look at Elena in surprise and stills in fear of hurting her.

That distraction was all Damon needed, he opened the case, withdrew two syringes and stabbed them both into Finn's neck within a couple of seconds, pushing the vervain into his artery. Damon sits up as Finn stands and stumbles, removing the syringes from his neck. "No," he gasps out, "I won't go back!" He shouts at nothing, before falling onto all fours. "What did you give him?" Elena asks as she rushes to Finn's side.

"Vervain." Damon groans and he stands up, his injuries still sore from the beating he just recieved.

"What? But he's not a vampire!" Elena esclaims, trying to keep Finn from falling. Finn loses strength in his legs and falls forward, Elena catches him and leans his head onto her shoulder.

"Is that what he said?" Damon says with a smile, he walks up to Elena and pokes Finn with the tip of the makeshift stake he found on the floor."Look, Elena, I don't know what he is but I do know that he's dangerous."

"Don't let them take me." Finn huffs out, he tilts his head up and looks into her eyes, the veins beneath his darkening "I'm sorry I lied." Elena looks at Finn with sadness in her eyes, she reaches up and caresses his cheek, "Finn, is this what you meant when you said-"

Damon shoves the stake deep into Finn's back, narrowly avoiding Elena.

"Damon!"

"It's time to go, big plans for this old creature." Damon says, he grabs the collar of Finn's dress shirt and lifts him off of Elena. He places Finn onto his shoulder and walks back to the car "What did he mean he's not going back?"

"It's nothing, when you have a lot of vervain in your system you sort of lose your mind." Damon says as he opens the trunk, he then hands the keys to Elena "Start the car and get in, I have to put this guy in here." "No, put him in the backseat." Elena demands, crossing her arms in defiance.

Damon rolls his eyes and closes the trunk, he walks to the front seat and unlocks the door, opening it and reaching to unlock the back seat door. Elena opens it and Damon lays Finn down onto the seat and pushes him until his body fits in the cabin. "Why does he have to be so damn tall." Damon mutters to himself as he shuts the door, they get into their respective seats and start the drive back to Mystic Falls.

"What's the deal with you and Finn?" Elena asks, shifting in her seat to look at Damon. "I mean I know he's a vampire hunter and you guys will always be at each other's throats but this seems personal, he seriously hates you."

Damon gives Elena a smirk "Doesn't everyone?"

Elena rolls her eyes and looks behind her seat to check on Finn, she moves the torn piece of his shirt to check on his wound. "It's healed on the outside, I think he's going to wake up soon."

Damon glances back and scowls, he pulls one last syringe out of his pocket and stabs the needle into Finn's heart, injecting the vervain into his system. Elena's mouth drops in horror "Damon what the hell!?"

"I can't have him waking up before we get back to Mystic Falls, he'll kill me and steal my car."

"We're only two hours away!" Elena says crossing her arms, turning around to face forward. "Whatever, I'm going to drop you off at your place and-"

"No, Stefan and I have to talk about what happened last night. Before the accident." Elena butts in, she looks down at her phone and lets out a sigh "I don't know what to do anymore."

Damon looks over at her and frowns, "What do you mean?"

"I'm constantly being lied to, I can handle things you know." Elena turns her body to face Damon, "My best friend is a witch, my boyfriend is a vampire, you're a vampire, and Finn is some sort of immortal creature and here I am, totally sane."

"Are you though?" Damon asks with a smile.

"I am." Elena responds stubbornly, repositioning herself in her seat. She lays her head back and sighs "I'm going to take a nap, wake me when we get there."

Elena hops out of the car as soon as Damon rolls into the driveway, he watches in amusement as she stomps up the driveway and into the house, most likely to confront his brother.

Damon steps out of the drivers side and opens the back seat door, grabs Finn's ankles and pulls Finn out of the car. He grabs the unconscious man's wrist and heaves him onto his shoulder. He nudges the door closed with his foot and quickly makes his way inside to avoid Elena, he reaches the cellar and smiles when he sees the newly done casket made for the vampire on his shoulder.

Damon throws walks to the casket, grabbing the head panel and lifting it up. He rears back in disgust as the smell of vervain overwhelming his senses. He turns his head and coughs, "Holy shit that's strong." He opens the rest of the casket and tosses Finn inside before shutting the whole thing.

Damon looks around and grabs a hammer and some nails Stefan left lying around and works on sealing Finn in. He fishes his phone out of his pocket and sends a quick text to the sheriff, informing her of the completed job.

He's sent a set of coordinates in return of where to bury the casket and a time to meet. Grinning widely, Damon goes around the house, collecting what he needs to transport and bury Finn Malfred.

Finn is woken up by a coughing fit racking his body, he raises a hand to his mouth to help control the coughing and opens his eyes to notice that he's in complete darkness. Instantly raising his other hand to see if he can see it or if it's his eyesight that's bad only for it to come in contact with a delicate cloth covering something hard. Recognizing the making of a casket Finn begins to panic. He runs his nails hard against the cloth, tearing it open causing the vervain stored inside to fall right onto his face and upper body.

Finn lets out a roar of pain as the vervain burns his skin, he tries to swipe them off and manages to push them to both sides of the casket. He pulls his fist as far back as he can and tries to use his last remaining strength to break through the wood. Tears stream down his face as he tries desperately to escape, knowing the vervain is taking almost all of his strength away.

He throws one last punch before letting out a roar of anguish and despair.
