The sun was almost down and Stefan and Amber were once again sitting with each other. Now that Klaus knew they were just Friends he didn’t find it necessary to send someone spying on them. He wanted Stefan to be his most loyal servant and he wanted to trust him. His closeness to Amber was alarming, but on the other hand Stefan wouldn’t be so stupid to go against Klaus’ wishes, knowing what could possibly be the consequences. No one would stop him if he went after Damon, o worse Elena. No, Stefan wouldn’t take that chance.
He couldn’t be più wrong. He watched Stefan and Amber talking, but didn’t pay much attention to it.
“They’re not going to trust me” Stefan said. “Maybe Elena will, but I don’t want to involve her into this”
“She’s already involved, Stefan, because she’s your girlfriend” Amber said.
“I know, but I can’t just pop up after being away. Who knows what Katherine and Damon told her about me leaving. They would both get benefit if Elena’s angry with me” Stefan explained.
“You really have trust issues, don’t you?” Amber concluded.
“That’s because I know that if it would be the other way around I would take advantage of the situation” Stefan said.
Amber shook her head. “I don’t believe that” she detto soft. “I’ve only known te for about two weeks, but te don’t seem like someone who takes advantage of things to me”
“Well, like te said, you’ve only known me for two weeks” Stefan detto dark. “Elena means the world to me and I’ll do anything to keep her. I understand she has Friends and I’m not going to separate her from them, but I’m not sharing her with my brother. She’s not Katherine”
Amber looked at Klaus, who was standing a few yards further. “I’m still not sure if our plan’s waterproof. I wouldn’t believe it’
Stefan took her da her shoulders and whispered: “If Klaus would have any suspicion he would’ve compelled te while me and the others were on a hunt. If he would know what we’re really up to we would’ve known da now. He wouldn’t just stand there, he would kill us”
If that was supposed to reassure Amber, Stefan failed miserably. She swallowed da the idea of being killed. “You do the talking, I won’t be able to keep my voice under control”
“Come on” Stefan sighed and he dragged Amber to Klaus.
“Stefan” Klaus detto when he saw them heading to him. “Is there something I can do for you?”
“Eh” Stefan looked at Amber, who kept her eyes on the ground. “No, not really. I wanted to take Amber with me for another hunt”
Klaus fixed his eyes on the girl. “Is that right?” he detto soft. “Was what your dear friend brought te not satisfying enough, Amber? Look at me”
Amber lifted up her head, but focused on Klaus’ chin. Stefan made a step inoltrare, avanti and raised a hand. “She hasn’t hunted since she’s here. She needs to learn, if we want her to be of use. She’s vulnerable if she can’t get her own blood” he said.
Klaus jerked his eyes off Amber and shot them at Stefan. “Very well, then. If you’re willing to make her a blood hunter such as yourself te have my blessing”
“Thank you” Stefan detto cold. “Come on” he detto to Amber and he pulled her away from Klaus.
“Stefan!” he turned around. “Don’t do anything misguided” Klaus said. Stefan turned around again and together with Amber he left.
“See, I told te we could pull it off” he detto confident.
But Amber wasn’t too sure. Something told her this was going way too easy.
He couldn’t be più wrong. He watched Stefan and Amber talking, but didn’t pay much attention to it.

Sam was waiting in line in a local snack bar. While he was waiting he watched the news, airing on a flat screen television, hanging on the ceiling.
“The thirty-five anno old Zoey Allen has escaped the local hospital of castello Rock, Colorado. Allen was brought into the hospital after she got stuck in a fire. Allen is extremely dangerous and wanted for several murders. She might be armed”
The news reader gave a number people could call if they had any kind of information.
Sam walked out of the snack bar and conjured his phone. He quickly dialed Dean’s number.
“Hello?”
“Dean, Zoey escaped” Sam detto fast.
“What? I thought she was dead” Dean detto disbelieving.
“Apparently not” Sam said. “Lock your door. Don’t let anyone in”
“I wasn’t going to” Dean detto and Sam heard him lock the door.

“Daphne? It’s time to let me go” Martin detto soft.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to sposta on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”
Daphne shook her head. “I don’t believe that”
“You didn’t believe I would mostra up in the first place, either” Martin pointed out.
Daphne pulled her shoulders. “How do I let te go? Aren’t te supposed to walk into the light o something?”
Martin laughed. “Not exactly. te have to salt and burn my bones”
“So I need to go to the cemetery?” Daphne asked.
“No. That grave is empty” Martin detto bitter.
“Then where are your bones?” Daphne asked nervous.
“You’re standing on them” Martin answered.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were recitazione strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy detto intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

The successivo morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With te around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get te something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could te give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad te made it up with each other”
