Darling, you wound me.

We all sat down at the kitchen table and I opened the freezer, making sure Elena was okay first, and got out a blood bag for everyone.

"So what are you showing them, sister?" I asked, and she looked at me with the same sadistic smile.

"Oh, just a little nightmare showing them every possible way you could kill them, over and over, on repeat. Oh, and I added a little surprise in there for them as well." She said, looking over at elena, while catching the blood bag as I tossed it to her. I smiled at the thought. I looked over at Elena and I grabbed her hand, while we both sipped on the blood bags. I could feel the sense of anger but at the same time, the sense of pride? She was proud that her new family was accepting her, and helping her.

I told you it would be okay, darling.

I know. She smiled at me and squeezed my hand.

"Okay, there is something going on between you two. Spill." Rebekah said, staring t the both of us.

Should we tell them, love?

Why not. They will figure it out eventually.

"Well, apparently when mates blood share, they become bonded." I told them, they just looked even more confused. "We can feel each others emotions and hear each others thoughts. It's pretty amazing." I said. They all exchanged looks between Elena and I and Nik just looked like he wasn't surprised.

"So that's what you've been doing? It all makes sense now." Rebekah said looking relieved. I looked back at Nik who looked like he was hiding something.

"Nik, you don't look surprised, is there any reason why?" I asked curiously, causing everyone to look at him.

"Because I'm not." He said smugly. Everyone looked at him confused.

"Does this have anything to do with a certain blonde vampire?" I asked curiously. He looked at me surprised, but we all knew he had a thing for her. Elena shot her head over to look at me.

"Well, Nik, does it?" Rebekah asked, her head cocked sideways.

"There is nothing between Caroline and I." He said sadly, looking away.

"Well I say we visit this subject again later, I hear two certain dying vampires downstairs begging for their lives." We all wanted answers but it was obvious we wouldn't get them anytime soon. And we did have to get back downstairs before they did actually die.

I took Elena's hand and flashed back downstairs, the rest following directly behind. When we arrived downstairs, the two were moaning against the wall mumbling something I couldn't make out. The bite mare on their necks had spread over to the side of their shoulders and their heartrates were starting to decrease.

"...heal us..." I heard coming from from Stefan. I flashed over in front if him in an instant.

"That's not a proper way of asking someone to do something, especially as important as this. Now what are the magic words?" I said with a snigger.

"Go to hell." Damon spat.
"Already been there, it was called the 10th century. So nice try, but wrong answer." I said, tapping on the wooden stake still in his chest.

"..Kol. Please." Stefan said, clearly almost on his last breaths. I motioned for Nik. He bit his wrist and shoved it in Stefan's mouth.

I then walked over to Damon and stood there with my arms crossed.

"I'm waiting, and I would say you only have a good minute left before you die." I waited for about 30 seconds and I finally heard him whisper something.

"I'm sorry, what was that, didn't hear you." I said, holding my ear.

"Please." He said louder, I quickly motioned for Nik to go over to him. After they both drank up, and their bite marks healed, I got close enough to smell their blood, seeing if it had any vervain left, after all, most of it was on the floor beneath them. I could not smell any but I wouldn't be sure until I tasted it.

I bit into Stefan's neck and detected no vervain, I did, however, make sure that it was quite painful. I then walked over to Damon and did the same.

"The vervain is cleared from their systems." I said to them. I looked at Elena who was itching to ask a question.

Can I ask them something before we compel them?

Of course, love.

She walked up to them, blood still dripping from the bite wounds on their necks.

"What made you think I was one of your mates?" She almost yelled at them. It was a good question, there was no way they could know who their mate was before the mate turned.

"Bonnie. She told us she had seen a vision of you turning, and finding your mate." Stefan said, out of breath. She looked shocked.

"And what made you think that one of you were him? It could have been anyone in the world. It doesn't go on who you date, it's a predetermined thing, before I was born. I was lucky enough that I found my mate right before I punched a wooden branch through my chest." She was yelling now. Thats my girl. I liked the spice. The Petrova fire was sexy as hell, she shot around to glare at me, clearly for my thoughts and I just winked at her and she turned back around.

"We just thought..." Stefan started to say, but she cut him off.

"No, you hoped it would be one of you, so you decided to take matters in your own hands and find out. You killed me and forced blood down my throat! I have had enough. I never want to see either one of you, for the rest of eternity." She yelled at them, she then nodded to me, I looked at Elijah. He nodded and walked up to them.

Looking directly into Stefan's eyes, he began to talk, "You will return to Mystic Falls. You will tell everyone that Elena's death was your doing, then pack your things and leave. You will then forget everything you have ever known about Elena, and cease communication with anyone from Mystic falls. If you shall ever cross paths with an original again, you will remember that you have already had your warning, next time, it will be death. You will not remember being compelled, and you will forever live in fear." Elijah said to him, then turning to Damon and saying the same.

Elijah is much better with his words than I am. I would have just told them to kill each other if they ever thought of you again.

Well then, I'm glad Elijah did it then, or they would be dead in two seconds. She laughed in my head. I looked over and winked at her.

That would have been the point, love.
