Season 3: Dangerous Liaisons

Rosalie leans against the blue hospital wall, waiting for Matt to come back from Alaric's room. Matt's only going to check on him, Rosalie had already gone through everything with the doctors. Rosalie moves away from the wall by pushing her shoe on the wall. She tucks her phone into her back pocket. Rosalie smiles softly. She's thankful that Alaric woke up and that Matt was by her side the entire time. Matt took Alaric to the hospital when he woke up so Rosalie could change. She had blood on her clothes and Rosalie would be suspicious.

"How are you?" Matt asks. Rosalie licks her lips.

"I'm okay. It was just...scary" He nods.

"Come on. We should go home" Rosalie nods and the two walk towards the exit.

"I talked to Bonnie earlier, her and her mom are fine, thankfully. I'm worried about Caroline though, have you talked to her?" Matt slips his hands into his black jean jacket pockets.

"Yeah. She's holding it together, considering, how close she and her dad used to be...Any word on who was behind all these attacks?" Rosalie sighs; folding her arms as they walk through the sliding doors into the cool night.

"No. Sheriff Forbes said that there's no real suspects at all," Rosalie sniffles. She rubs her arms to create some warmth. "How are you dealing with everything? I mean, you keep getting dragged into this mess somehow" Matt breathes out.

"Honestly...I'm kind of lucky" Rosalie scrunches up her eyebrows. "The only thing that I have to worry about for tomorrow is showing up for my shift at the grill" Rosalie chortles. They stop beside Rosalie's car. Rosalie wraps her arms around Matt's waist. Matt rests his arms around her shoulders. He lightly kisses the top of her head.

"Thank you, Mattie. For everything" Rosalie slightly pulls away to look up at Matt.

"Get home safe" Rosalie smiles and nods.

"Goodnight, Matt" Matt gives a half smile before walking over to his light blue truck.

Rosalie sighs and opens the driver's door to her red Jeep. She slides in and makes herself comfortable. Rosalie glances in the rear view mirror at Matt as he backs up. He pulls forward a little and the two wave goodbye. Rosalie buckles in and starts the car. She flicks the headlights on and slowly backs up.

She jumps in surprise when she hears a loud thud. Rosalie hurriedly puts the car in park and jumps out of the car to see what she hit, only there was nothing there. Rosalie takes a deep breath. Someone's doing this. Rosalie spins around and runs into a body.

Rebekah.

Rosalie's eyes widen in shock. Klaus didn't undagger her. Rosalie gulps. She could feel the anger radiating off of her. The blonde glares down at her.

"Drive much?" Rebekah pivots forward and wraps her fingers around Rosalie's thin neck. Rosalie grunts and grabs her wrist. "Surprised? You let Elena drive a dagger through my heart and did nothing to help me. It hurt"

"Rebekah, please--I didn't know--"

"Don't give me the 'I don't know' line. You didn't know, but you didn't help either" Rebekah arches her head back; her veins appearing from under her eyes and her fangs extended. Rosalie squeezes her eyes shut.

Rebekah is thrown off by her older brother; Elijah. Rosalie rubs her throat. Elijah mimics Rebekah's previous move on Rosalie.

"Elijah" She breathes.
