"YOU."
Damon called as Skyler closed the door behind her, she turned around anxiously however she didn't show it, her head was held high.

"Me." She responded with a smirk.

"You married a Mikaelson." Stefan said looking at his sister in disbelief, "When?"

"1922," She admitted causing both her brothers' eyes to widen, "I met him in 1914, 50 years after we were turned. I was... I was a ripper at the time, he thought it'd be a fun time to follow me around, kill some people and then leave once he got bored but..."

"But what?" Stefan questioned, "What made him stay? What made you love a Mikaelson?"

"In 1917, I turned my switch back on after seeing you," She looked at Stefan, "Kol had disappeared for a few days, when he came back to me with my emotions back... We found out that we have a bond. A soulmate bond."

"Soulmates?" Damon repeated in disbelief, "You believe that crap?"

"Anytime he gets hurt or I panic, we feel it. If he dies, so do I." Skyler told him sternly, "So yeah, Damon, I believe in that 'crap.'"

"Why didn't you tell us?" Stefan asked, his brows furrowed and his voice seeping with betrayal.

And here Skyler thought he didn't care about anything anymore.

"What would have you done?" She responded, shaking her head when they didn't respond, didn't know, "You would've thought I was the enemy or some sort of weapon against them the second Klaus threatened poor Elena. I didn't want to be pinned against my family, my husband just because you two are too obsessed with Elena to see anything else."

"We wouldn't have used you..." Damon said trailing off before he even finished speaking because he knew they would have if it was necessary. For Elena, they would have. "We would have protected you."

"And killed them." Skyler responded knowingly, "You would have used me to kill them, but what you don't get is if Kol dies so do I. And I don't mean metaphorically, the second he dies, I do too."

"So no, I didn't tell you about me knowing them. I didn't even tell you I was married because I couldn't." She shook her head, "Not while Elena's around. It's always gonna be her over everyone else, just like Katherine."

Her brothers were stunned into silence and she took that as her chance to walk past them and climb the stairs, going to her room so she could grab her things because she knew they wouldn't be okay for a long time, if ever.

"They won't listen to me you know." Skyler told Elijah as they exited the Mikaelson home.

"You are their sister, they'll listen to you more than me." Elijah responded.

Skyler shook her head in disagreement, "No. Not right now, not after..."

Elijah raised a brow, "After they found out you're a  Mikaelson?" He said, "Do not be ashamed and do not doubt how much they care for you. They are your brothers, no matter what your last name may be."

Skyler sighed, not quite believing him however she couldn't find it in herself to argue anymore so she simply followed him along which is how she ended up back at the Salvatore boarding house in the living room sitting by the fireplace with Elijah who was talking to Damon when Stefan came in.

"I couldn't find her anywhere." Stefan said clearly not expecting to find Elijah and Skyler here, he paused.

"Hello, Stefan." Elijah greeted, Skyler stole a glance at her brother but didn't say anything.
