i'm skipping episode 16, '1912', because it's like all flashbacks and it was irrelevant to this story so yeah

*5+ comments for next chapter, none that say 'update' please. thank you!*

MATT DEFINITELY wasn't delighted with the idea of Rebekah coming over to hangout with Ariel. They had their differences and Matt didn't want to pursue the girl that was apart of the originals family. Although, the closest thing he had to family was Ariel and she was now dating Kol.

Ariel smiled when she opened the door and saw Rebekah. "You made it!"

"Yep, I did," Rebekah tried to walk in, but she couldn't step through the doorway. "Great. Matt has to invite me in; he never will."

Ariel called out for Matt and he arrived in a matter of seconds. He let out an audible groan as he caught sight of the blond original. "Let me guess, you can't get in?"

"Obviously," Rebekah snapped.

Matt knew he had to let her in once he saw Ariel give him a glare. "You can come in."

Once Rebekah stepped in the house, Matt quickly made his way back to his room. Ariel led Rebekah into the kitchen and opened up the hidden cabinet where Matt kept all the bourbon. He didn't like Ariel drinking it, so he hid it, but that didn't stop Ariel from tearing the kitchen apart one night just to find the drink.

"You and Matt will happen eventually," Ariel told her friend as she stared at her glass of bourbon. "All he sees is the bad and won't see the good of you."

"You saw the goodness in Kol," Rebekah spoke up. "He really likes you, you know? He never stops talking about you; I haven't seen this side of him in many years."

Ariel smiled as she took a sip of her drink, "Kol is absolutely amazing. He makes me feel–"

"Alive?" Rebekah finished for her and Ariel nodded.

"Stefan?" Ariel called out into the Salvatore Boarding House. She had gotten a call from the brooding vampire, saying he desperately needed help with controlling his hunger. He believed an angel could help, but Ariel wasn't so sure about that.

She then heard slurping sounds coming from the basement, so she headed down there and saw a trail of blood bags on the floor. Those blood bags then led to Stefan. "What the hell."

Stefan looked up at her and continued drinking the blood bag. Ariel walked up to him and snatched it from his mouth. "If you want to get better, learn how to control yourself."

Ariel had to yank the blood bag out of his mouth to get him to stop. "Aren't vampires supposed to be drinking human blood?"

"I drink animal blood – well I'm trying to get back to that," Stefan muttered, closing the cooler.

"Why are you ashamed of who you are?" she asked him. "I mean, you're a great guy. How does drinking human blood make that a difference? You just need to learn how to control your hunger and how to accept that you are who you are."

Stefan stayed quiet as he knew the brunette was right. Ariel's phone rang and she saw a text from Kol: my place, now. emergency.
