chapter 41 - love the way you lie

Tori laughed at Scott's jokes as they leaned up against each other at the bar. She had been seeing him almost every day for the past few weeks, his company was something she really enjoyed. It was nice to get away from all the drama and just be in the moment with him. It had been an interesting few days, Caroline and Bonnie helping her mother adjust to vampirism, Alarics alternate ego trying to kill Dr Meredith Fell, Tori trying to help Stefan learn control with blood and Damon having a threesome with Rebekah and Sage (something she really didn't want to know) so he could find out through her mind what it is she wanted. Turns out she was after the remaining pieces of white oak on this earth to destroy it, Damon and Sage found out and then Sage destroyed it before Damon could get to it. Interesting.

She had just gotten home when she saw Damon and Stefan ready to leave. "Where are you guys heading?"

"Out." Damon replied vaguely, Stefan just avoided her eyes and she knew they were upto something immediately.

"Out where?" She questioned.

"Out. A little brother bonding whilst we look after psycho Alaric. See you later little sis." Damon said as he hastily pulled Stefan out the door with him.

"Okay... that was weird." She said out loud to an empty house. They were definitely being suspicious, but she really couldn't be bothered figuring out what it was they were up to. Instead, she decided to invite Scott over. He'd never actually been to her house before.

A few hours later Scott had arrived, so she went to the door when she heard him knock.

"Wow." Was the first thing he said when she opened it. "You know, you told me you had a big house, but wow."

"Yeah." She chuckled. "Come on in. I'll give you the tour." She took him around the house, giving him a short little tour, before she came to the wine cellar. "And my favourite room, filled with unlimited alcohol." She grinned at him and he laughed. It wasn't long before they were back in her room, multiple bottles already half-finished and music blasting as they danced. Not long after that, both their clothes were off and they were dancing a little differently.

Meanwhile, Damon and Stefan were meeting up with the Scooby gang in the woods, practicing how to kill the Originals with their newfound white oak stakes. "Wait why isn't Tori here?" Caroline questioned.

Damon and Stefan looked at each other, hesitating before the younger brother said, "Were, uh, leaving her out of this one."

"She sort of has a thing for the original clan, we can't have her ruining our plans." Damon said with no room for anymore questions. It's not like he wanted to leave her out of them, but he knew she wouldn't want them dead. Especially since they were all linked, so if one of them died they all would. Rebekah was her best friend, and Elijah and Kol were close seconds. Whatever the hell she had with Klaus he could tell she still wasn't over. But he knew he had to take this chance to kill Klaus, it was the only way to protect Elena and the rest of them. Tori would eventually get over it, right?

Tori and Scott had managed to drink enough that they were more than drunk, stumbling and giggling about in her bedroom. They decided to go for a walk for a much needed breath of fresh air. As they walked through town, she sighed, taking in the feeling of the wind against her skin, her hair breezing behind her. Until they heard the shrill scream of a woman from further ahead. Her and Scott looked at each other, before they both rushed off to see what had happened. The sight that she saw was more than enough to sober her up, Sage crying on the steps behind the Mystic Grill, as Finns body burned to ashes. Stumbling back, she bumped into Scott's body as he stared in horror in the sight, immediately muttering on about calling the sheriff, wanting to talk to the girl to see if she was okay, but Tori pushed him back, dragging him away from the scene, before he evoked Sages' anger.
