Brooke Forbes had lived in Mystic Falls her whole life, and had been the 'It Girl' of the town since she was young. Her life had been perfect in every way. Until, one accident lands her in physio rehabilitation and she is forced to leave town for mo...

Ever since Stefan had saved Klaus's life and then stolen his coffins, he had basically completely disappeared off of the grid. Brooke was doing her best to find any trace of where he could have gone but it was impossible when all of her friends were mad at her for helping Klaus too.
So, once again she was off to try and chase down another lead.
The blonde locked her front door behind her, and she turned around, finding a hard body suddenly blocking her way.
"Brooklyn" smiled Klaus Mikaelson "I was hoping you might have some more news on Stefan and my coffin's whereabouts. Don't tell me that once again you have fallen short"
She sighed "I am trying, but he hasn't told anybody where he is. So I was going to try and scout some of the obvious locations nearby like the old tomb, the Lockwood cellar, or the Salvatore tomb"
He shook his head, "Not good enough. The best way to get Stefan to come out of the woodwork is to target the people closest to him"
"What does that mean?" asked Brooke
"My hybrid friend Tony is tailing Elena Gilbert, and he says she and Damon are currently at the Grill" he answered "So you and I are going to pay them a visit and maybe they might know a little more than they let on, if I apply the right kind of pressure"
Brooke clenched her jaw "Do I have a choice in this?"
Klaus chuckled "The faster we find my coffins, the faster you get Elijah back. So you're coming with me, Miss Forbes"
Grumbling, she followed him out of the house and into his car. The pair drove in silence until they reached the Grill, where a man, Tony, met them.
"They're still in there" said Tony "They haven't seen me yet but Gilbert saw me this morning on a run, so if she sees me she'll recognise me"
Klaus smirked "Good. Let's give her a little shock then. Shall we?"
He pushed open the door to the Grill, signalling for Brooke to go first. The blonde reluctantly made her way inside, tailed by the two men.
Immediately she spied Damon and Elena at the dart board, standing uncomfortably close together for Brooke's liking, and Klaus led them over to the duo, ignoring the blonde's discomfort.
Damon had told Elena that Brooke knew about their kiss, so not only was the blonde unhappy to be in their company, but Elena was too.
"Don't mind me" he said to announce himself, and Damon and Elena quickly turned to face him in surprise
"Klaus" sighed Elena.
Her eyes drifted to Brooke, and the hurt in her eyes was evident. Brooke just did her best to keep her gaze on the ground so that she would not have to feel even guiltier than she did already.
Damon glared at the hybrid. "You going to do this in the grill, in front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?"
He shrugged "I don't know what you're talking about. I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with Brooke and a mate. Get a round, then, would you, Tony?"
