4. An Eternity of Misery

Complete story — includes the ending

More than two thousand years ago, Sybil asks her "sister", fellow siren, to tell her a happy story. Her sister tells her about Arcadius "Cade", a man with psychic abilities that was killed for what he was. In his last breath, he used his powers to create a new world where his soul traveled upon his burning at the stake. In the present, Sybil tells Stefan that her boss wants him to know the full story of her and her sister. Sybil's sister Seline, posing as the nanny of Alaric's kids, forces Georgie to trap Alaric in the vault and makes Georgie look like the other siren. Sybil's boss, revealed to be Cade who gave Seline and Sybil their immortality, tortures the souls of humans, considering them to be the most evil in the world. Seline kills Georgie and Georgie's soul is sucked into what appears to be Hell, where Cade will torture her soul while Seline eats her body. Damon goes after an object that he is subconsciously aware that Sybil wants; he ends up attacking and nearly killing a man, who is revealed as Matt Donovan's father. Matt saves his father from Damon, afterward telling him about the existence of vampires. Damon tells Matt that he killed Tyler Lockwood. Matt finds Tyler's body, confirming Damon killed him.
