"YOU KNOW, I'D MUCH RATHER KEEP YOU IN THE APARTMENT THAN LET YOU CLEAN UP THE GYM." Kol admitted and Raven chuckled. "I know," she replied as the two stopped before in the hallway. "But I really need to something. Besides, Caroline will strangle me with her bare hands if I don't show up."

"I would never let her do that." Kol contered and threw the brunette a smirk. "Besides, I thought we were doing something." He then added and Raven looked at the vampire, an eyebrow raised. "That is not what I meant."

"If that's what you tell yourself." Kol remarked quietly and Raven prayed Caroline didn't pry on their conversation as she leaned forward. "It is exactly what I tell myself," she purred back at Kol and smiled sweetly at the Original. "And now I'll leave and clean up the gym."

Raven made a move to leave, but Kol grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "You didn't say goodbye," he pointed out and Raven scoffed. "Goodbye, Kol." She replied dryly before kissing him. Then she turned around again and went into the hall.

Rebekah looked up at here. "Well, there you are. At least one of you is on time. Although I wasn't sure if Kol would let you walk through that door in the first place." She then added with a pointed look. "Well, Good Morning to you too, Rebekah." Raven muttered before tilting her head. "Besides it's one past eight. They're not that late."

"Where's Matt?" Caroline then spoke up from behind them and Rebekah turned to her. "He bailed. Got called into work at the last minute." She told them and Caroline groaned. "Are you kidding me? So, it's just us?"

Rebekah turned to her. "Yes, and you're late. Clean up committee started at eight o'clock." She snapped and Caroline threw a look at her phone. "It's like 8:02." She pointed out and with an annoyed look, Rebekah brushed past the two and emptied out the trash. "Exactly. I managed to turn up on time and I didn't even get to attend the dance that I organized."

Raven and Caroline exchanged a look and Caroline nudged her towards Rebekah. The Salvatore sighed before walking to Rebekah. "I'm sorry about your mom. I mean she was a real pain in the ass for all of us and she tried to kill you guys but still. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to loose a mom, and it's not nice." She then said and Rebekah paused for a moment, before she looked at Raven. "I'm sorry about your teacher. He seemed like a nice guy."

Raven nodded. "Yeah. He was." She replied. Not to mention a part-time serial killer. Rebekah was quiet for another moment. "I'm gonna get started on the gym." The Original vampire finally said and left. With a soft sigh, Raven turned to Rebekah. "I'' go and help her." She told Caroline, who nodded.


Raven followed Rebekah into the hallway and almost ran straight into the blonde, who had stopped dead in her tracks, staring at someone in front her― Alaric. The Salvatore's eyes widened as he turned to her, mustering her with dead eyes.
