Alexia wakes up, naked, on the floor when she notices Stefan and Caroline, eyes closed. The blonde had clothes with her.

Her body was hided, for the great delight of Klaus who was the only one who is allowed to see.

"They're mine. I took them this morning." Caroline hand her the clothes.

"Thank you." Alexia replies before changing herself.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Stefan asks opening his eyes when she's fully clothed.

"I—um.." Alexia tears up as flashbacks from yesterday night comes. "There was this guy.. he told me I had a nice ass before he pushed me against the tree. He-he started to kiss me on the neck. I tried to punch him.. I kicked his crotch and I tried to get away.." she says as she starts to sob. Caroline and Stefan look at her with sad eyes as the blonde hugs her best friend. "I told him to stop! I really did. B-but he told me he was asked to do it."

Stefan realizes what happened, "he was compelled."

Alexia looks up, "you think?"

"Yes." He nods. "I need to ask you, did you know you were a werewolf?" She nods as she continue to cry.

"I found out two weeks ago."

"Why didn't you tell us? When we thought werewolves weren't existing, you already knew. Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Alaric knew.." she whispers. "My mother is Alexandra Wariam. The friend of Isobel." She sighs, "I didn't want Elena, Care, Jer, Bonnie or even you to look at me differently."

"I would never look at you differently!" Caroline shakes her head, as she, herself start to have tears. " your look didn't change when you saw that I killed someone."

"Thank you.." Alexia sniffs. "D-does Elena know?"

Stefan nods, "she does. She was scared for you."

"What happened to the body?" Alexia asks as her lips trembles.

"We hided it where nobody will finds him, don't worry." Stefan replies with a soft smile trying to reassure her.

"I- thank you. Can you take me home? I'll take my car later."

Stefan nods as he, Caroline and Alexia go to his car.

"Lex!" Elena yells as she gets out of the house when she sees her sister getting out of the car.

"Hey.."

Elena hugs her sister, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to look at me differently."

"I will never look at you differently." Elena replies making Alexia smiles softly.

If only they knew..

"Jenna's doing a barbecue. Get ready." Elena says as Alexia nods before she turns to the car of Stefan where Caroline and Stefan are still.

"Thank you.. for staying the night and Care, I'm sorry, but those clothes are so cute! I'm keeping them!"

Stefan nods his head as Caroline chuckles.

"Oh! And Caroline, you're invited. Today at 3pm!" Elena says as Caroline nods.
