All I Need

Love Truly

"Where is she?" Damon asked angrily.

"Elena?" Nik asked, "she's making a donation to a greater cause."

Damon tried to go into the hospital.

"Stop, Damon," Lydia told him.

"Let me get her, Lydia. I don't know why you want to help this fucking douchebag so much, but he's taking the girl I'm in love with! Are you helping him to get your revenge for me fucking cheating on you? Is that it?"

"Damon," Lydia replied, "no. No no no no no no... did I mention No? I never cared enough about you to 'get revenge' on you for fucking the doppelganger. I actually enjoy the Hybrids company... You know if we could just get what we fucking wanted we'd be outta here quicker than shit, right? Have you ever thought about that? Like y'all shoulda just let him kill Elena since Y'all knew how to bring her back and then just give us routine blood bags and no harm comes to any of you anymore. It makes the most sense and the fact that none of you are going along with it baffles me completely."

"Don't you want to know about your friend Mikael?" Damon asked.

"One, I feel what I just said has been ignored again; Two, the fuck you mean your friend Mikael, you wanna explains this shits? the fucks you ups too?" Lydia asked.

She glanced over at the wide-eyed Nik and grabbed his hand.

"He knows that you're all here," Damon replied.

"Damon, darling," Lydia said with an annoyed chuckle, "you have to be some special kind of stupid."

"He's bluffing," Nik said, "he has to be bluffing."

"Nope, Katherine and I found him. Consider it our leverage."

"You cunt!" Lydia yelled at him.

Nik threw Damon at a car, grabbed Lydia and sped them through the woods. 

Nik stopped and Lydia climbed onto his back.

"We can go to the bunker..." Lydia said.

"Stefan's been in there," Nik replied.

"You act like I can't use magic to uninvite him," Lydia smiled.

Nik relaxed a bit.

"Okay, the bunker," Nik agreed.

They sat across from each other, drinking from their glasses.

"Nik," Lydia said, drawing his attention, "you need to get those blood bags and get out of town and make as many hybrids as you can."

Nik looked at her confused.

"They know about Mikael, they'll probably go wake him soon... I'll stay here and watch over the doppelganger.." Lydia made a disapproving face as the words came from her mouth, "but you need to go make an army."

"But..." Nik sighed, "I don't want to leave you..."

"I leave all the time anyways to go fight. You need to do this and I'll be here waiting for you to get back... just... Just Come Back," Lydia told him.

"I will, love," Nik replied, "I won't leave you."

Nik turned and looked at the door and then back to Lydia.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Nik asked.

"Don't tempt me," Lydia chuckled before getting up and walking to him.

She wrapped her arms around Nik's neck as his hands went to her waist. She got up on her tippy toes and kissed him sweetly.

"Just stay safe while I'm gone," Nik said.

Lydia nodded and watched as he turned and walked out the door.

Lydia sat on the couch and sighed, already bored... and then the most surprising thing happened. Stefan texted here.

S: We're supposed to protect Elena. Get over here.

L: You're bossy.

S: Are you drunk?

L: I don't know mom am I?

S: Rebekkah is here now get here.

Lydia walked from the bunker to her car, drove to the boarding house, walked in the boarding house, told everyone to screw off, and dragged Rebekah back to the bunker.

"That went well," Rebekah chuckled.

"They're all lucky they aren't dead," Lydia grumbled.

"You've changed... what happened?"

"My Anchor went bye-bye... so now I can be a dick. I'm a royal douchebag," Lydia said with a smirk.

Rebekah chuckled lightly.

"Well, school tomorrow should be fun," Rebekah told her.

"Oh you've gotta be kidding me," Lydia half yelled.
