Davina greeted me with a shining smile and a tight hug, "Hey C, thanks for the invite." I smiled, "Hey D." She walked past me letting Marcel greet me with a small hug and kiss on the top of my head he then walked past me too. Josh stood outside a little awkward as he scratched the back if his neck, "Hey Crystal." It looked as if he wasn't sure what to do, he has always been a little unsure around me and I honestly didn't know why he is as much a part of my family as Davina is.

"Josh, don't be a stranger. Come in." He smiled and walked past me to stand by Davina and Marcel the trio looked at my three other guests with distasteful eyes. I know they wouldn't like the idea of having dinner with two originals. "This evening I want all of you to forget the grudges you hold against the other and be peaceful. I want to have dinner with my family and I have to accept that Klaus is now a part of it if I want it or not and so is Kol, all I ask is a peaceful dinner."

My six guests took their place at the table as we began to eat. The evening was spent laughing and smiling, never would I have thought that I would sit at a table with Klaus and not have any murderous thoughts but today it happened. He can be quite funny if he wanted to be and I could finally see what Cami liked about him. He treated her like the queen she is and she deserved nothing less. The two of them were constantly looking at each other with big smiles of their faces as I couldn't help but smile.

I was in a deep conversation with Davina and Josh as they told me about their life and what I've missed. We had a great time as I told them about my uneventful life. "I moved in with Stephen for some time." I told them as they grinned at me they have always thought that Stephen and I were something more than just really good friends. "Stop looking at my like that! Stephen is nothing more than a friend to me just like I'm just a friend to him. We could never be anything more than just friends." I said.

"Oh please, whenever I'm around the two of you I can't help but suffocate in sexual tension." Josh said laughing as I blushed slightly, "he's five years older than me, Josh, I could never be anything intimate with him. He sees me as his little sister." Josh and Davina gasped loudly. "Ha! So you do like him!" They said loudly, not loud enough though to get the attention of Cami. "No, he's a friend." I said in a tone that caused the two to sigh, they just like to tease me but now was not the time to do that.

"Fine, your love life is even more dead than Davina's. You girls need a boyfriend and I will be the one to help you." My eyes widen in horror, I could only imagine what Josh had in his mind but I knew I didn't like it. "No, we're fine." Davina and I said simultaneously with the same amount of horror. "You're so boring." Josh said as he turned around to start a conversation with Marcel in which Davina quickly tuned in. "So who's Stephen? You never told me you have any other friends except for me, darling, I'm truly shocked."

"No, I said I don't have any friends my age. Stephen is twenty-two years old and why do you even care?" Kol shrugged, "I don't. I was just curious as to why you have never told me about him if you're such good friends." I sighed, "we've been friends for not even a week you don't know everything about me besides he's human so I don't want him involved in this Vampire mess and my sister and I are in. He deserve a normal human life, one that I would never get a chance to live." I sighed sadly.
