Vampires. Irritating douchey vampires that turned some of the people here. You can't turn them back without killing head honcho vamp with a super special blessed by some saint or other stake.
They can't find the stake. Cause clearly keeping it somewhere special and safe wasn't considered a logical plan ever.
And now I have something, probably witches, blocking my magic. And all of it feels like we're basically walking through concrete to fix this
I may punch a wall, or a convenient vampire that isn't Damon. Damon amuses me.
