A Love Square *a TVD Fanfic*

The Party People.

Dance music filled the Mystic Grill as we walked in. It was an unusual setting for the grill, normally a chilled out place, now packed with teenagers and party-goers alike. Sweaty bodies pressed up against one another surging to the music, dancing like there was no tomorrow.

I looked around and spotted a few familiar faces off in the corner, so I headed in that direction. With Elena and Stefan closely behind me, we approached the table.

“Alaric!” Elena ran to the older, handsome man sitting closest to us and embraced him in a bear hug. Stefan merely gestured for a handshake but Ric had something different in mind. He stood and wrapped his arms around Stefan, who hugged back as tightly as ever. It was really great to have Alaric back from the other side, Enzo too. But we had lost so many friends, our family.

Elena and Stef walked off to the bar with Alaric and Jeremy, so I plonked my bum down next to Enzo.

“Hey gorgeous, how are you doing?” Enzo asked.

I hated myself for admitting it, but his accent was sexy. The way he spoke to me, it reminded me of a certain hybrid. But Enzo was different. He was cheeky and flirtatious and nowhere near as evil as Klaus.

“Coz you care!” came out sarcastically.

“Actually Blondie, you’d be surprised, I need another drink, anyone?” and with a wink he was off to the bar.

“I hate to be the one to bring this party down a notch,” said Jeremy, “but we need to come up with a plan.”

“Liv and Luke took off and we still need a witch, we have no idea what the next move is”, I began, “so I guess step one, find a witch. Step two, research and last but not least, step three, get them back.”

“I guess that’s all we have hey. How about Elena and I are on witch duty” Stefan chimed in. “Alaric and Jeremy, researchers, Ric you are a teacher!” he pointed out.

“And I guess that leaves me and..” I was cut off before I could finish.

“We’ll make a great team gorgeous.” Enzo winked again and handed Elena, Stefan and drinks.

I quivered a little and some bad images flashed through my head. Well, they were not so much bad as naughty! Every time I heard Enzo speak I shivered a little inside. It was like his voice gave me a tiny, sexy adrenaline rush. I quickly downed my vodka and redbull and motioned the waitress over to order another.

“What duty are we on though?” he pointed out, “The Scooby gang already have witch and research covered.” Elena let out a small laugh when he called us ‘The Scooby gang’; it was nice to see that.

“You two head to New Orleans, the only other person who knew about Silas and the other side was Kol, Klaus or Elijah may know something.”

I rolled my eyes and scoffed at Stef’s suggestion. NO WAY. After our little rendezvous a few months back, I wasn’t even sure Klaus would want to see me. I sat in silence trying to figure a way around it.

“What if you and Enzo take Klaus duties and Elena and I will hunt for a witch?” I pleaded. From the looks on my friends faces I could tell there was a reason I was on the Klaus hunt and I gathered after Katherine, well Elena, Katherine in Elena’s body, had spilled my dirty little secret, they thought I had the best chance of getting the info.

“Ooh is this british accent guy?” Enzo asked with a chuckle. “I’m in then, can’t wait to see this drama!” he finished.
