Corizo was seen holding unto Zkora as they both appeared beside a tree, gently Corizo laid her face down, he slowly place his left hand on her back with his the edge of the arrow in between his thumb and forefinger, his right hand slowly reached for the arrow and gently he pulled it Out while saying some strange words in a strange language.
" ahhhh" Zkora whine in pain, Corizo ignored her, he kept on pulling the arrow out while saying the words, until finally the arrow came off.
Corizo cut a piece of his cloth from the wrist and used it to apply pressure on the wound.
When the bleeding stopped, he helped her sat up and rest her back on the tree.
" how did you do it?" Zkora asked.
" do what?" Corizo asked, he wasn't clear which of the things he has done that she's asking about.
" every thing, starting from when you came into my room at mystic Falls till this very moment" Zkora said staring keenly at Corizo.
Corizo glanced away from her, he reached for his pocket brought out an ornament and gave it to her, which she accepted.
" well, I just happened to get everything done" Corizo replied nonchalantly.
Zkora furrowed her brows at him.
" that's not the answer to my questions?" she said.
" you didn't ask any" Corizo answered, of course he was right, she didn't ask any specific questions.
Inhaling, Zkora decided to be specific.
" how did you get to know about the masters plan?"
" heard when they were planning it" he replied, he gently rest his back on the tree and gaze at the empty Sky which will soon be covered with stars.
" my room, how did you know about the secret door, I didn't even know about it" Zkora asked.
" that's because I made it"
" how?" Zkora asked, she got no reply, she turned to look at Corizo only to discover that the guy is already at sleep, she had the urge to slap him out of it but on a second thought she decided to let him be, the guy has been through a lot because of her, maybe she should just allow him a little rest, later he will answer all her questions.
With one last look at Corizo, Zkora decided to join him in dreamland by closing her eyes.

The Maximum's mansion was completely filled with lot of important personalities, raging from political Godfathers, prominent businessman, and women, celebrities and many more.
Wine were passed by the waiters and waitresses who were dressed in black and white.
The ballroom was dim with a red and blue light, people were doing one thing or the other, some were discussing with friends or relatives, trying to caught up on lots of things, some were dancing, some were just walking around trying to mingle with the crowd while some were simply having a drink while eating down, either on their own or with friends.
Outside the mansion, two bouncers stood by the entrance to make sure none invited guests are not allowed in.
You show them your invitation, they let you pass that has been the way everything was going until it got to two people.
" your invitation?" the bouncer at the right said stretching forth his right hand.
Cole reached for his pocket and brought out the golden card , he present it to the bouncer who took it from him.
" Cole and Gloria Reynoldsburg?" the man said looking at the twins suspiciously.
The twins flash him a cute, charming smile.
Giving them back the invitation the bouncer made way for them to go in.
Gloria winked at the bouncer before she walked in with Cole.
" exactly as I expected of maximum Hemsworth" Gloria said.
" keep a close watch, remember tonight is our most important night" Cole said.

Gloria reached for a drink from one of the trays been passed around by a waitress, she gently lain on a counter while watching the scene with keen interest.

" I never invited you" maximum said coldly.
" you didn't have to, I invited myself, beside I saw a reason to stay even more" Maximum glanced at the man.
" what reason?"
" I met someone amazing" Clifford asked, Maximum was about to ask him another question but the man simply beat him to it.
" where is the woman, I want to see her" Clifford said shuting Maximum up.
As waiting for someone to ask about her, the lights fell on Lauren coming down from the stairs as carefully as possible.
This is a very big moment of her life, she was nervous as hell, Maximum walked over to her, gently reached out for her, held her hand and together both began to descend the stairs.
