All I Need

And Stay Out Later Than You Should

Damon led Lydia into the old Lockwood cellar.

"I've been here before..." Lydia whispered to herself, trying to remember.

"Careful where you shine that light," Lydia heard Ric's voice say, "bats hate light."

"Wait, what?" Elena asked

Damon whispered, "Elenaaaa!"

She turned around quickly and he said 'BOO!' scaring her.

"Gha! God Damon!" She slapped his arm with an angry stare.

"Ah, I see you've both made it," Ric smiled at Lydia.

"She heard she might get to dump Klausy-Klaus and got really excited," Damon smiled.

Lydia rolled her eyes.

"But," Damon continued, "I can't go any further. The ancient Lockwoods seemed to even hate Vampires."

Lydia smirked.

"Sucks to suck," She smiled before walking ahead.

"Where are you going?" Elena asked

"To read the Lockwood diaries: a pictunary story," Lydia smirked.

She shined her light at the wall and looked it over before clenching her jaw.

"All I can read is-" Ric started.

"I'm getting out of here," Lydia interrupted.

"What? You can't just go-" Damon cut in.

"Yes, I can!" Lydia yelled, "I want nothing to do with Papa-Original and you all know it!"

Lydia ran out of the caves and ran to her house as fast as she could. She ran in the door and almost collided with Rebekah.

"Bex," Lydia started, "you understand that your mother is the worst person EVER, right?"

Rebekah's eyebrows knitted together, "What's happening?"

"You understand that, right!?" Lydia asked as she shook Rebekah by the shoulders, "she was terrible and she never deserved any of the amazing children she had. She deserved to die and you know it."

"I don't understand... why are you telling me this?" Rebekah asked, her eyes filling with tears.

"She deserved what she got, especially for what she did to Nik," Lydia said quickly, her beginning to pant from how fast she was saying everything.

Lydia's door opened and Elena walked in, her phone holding the picture of the markings in the caves.

"We found something out!" Elena yelled, looking at Rebekah the whole time.

Lydia growled lowly.

"We know Mikael didn't kill Esther," Elena smirked, "and Mikael will wake up."

"You can't wake him up!" Lydia growled, "He's a piece of Garbo and I don't want to deal with the bastard."

"Well, speaking of bastards," Elena smirked, "Klaus killed Esther, Rebekah, not Mikael."

Rebekah tried to speed at Elena, but Lydia held her back and made her stay.

Lydia ran at Elena, literally throwing her out the door.

"IF YOU EVER COME BACK I'LL INVERT YOUR DAMN RIBCAGE!" Lydia screamed before closing and locking the door.

Lydia walked back in and found Rebekah sitting on the floor crying.

"How could he kill his own mother?" Rebekah cried.

"I killed mine..." Lydia replied looking down, "and when I told my siblings... they left me alone. Completely and totally alone when I needed them more than anything. Bex, now that you know you HAVE to stand by him, hell you could play double agent just please don't leave him he needs the people he loves... please Bex."

Rebekah wiped her tears and looked up at Lydia.

"Bu-"

"Bex, he's an asshole but he's still your brother," Lydia interrupted.

Bex sighed, "I-I suppose I'll be playing double agent..."

"Loyal to the end, Rebekah. You have to be like the best sister a person could have."

Rebekah smiled at Lydia.

"Now I have to call Nik," Lydia finished.

Lydia called Nik.

"Hey, love, I-"

"Nik, Elena marched into my house and told your dear sister what you did to your mother..."

"Wha-"

"Bex is now our double agent as well. She gets it... with my persuasion." 

"Thank you..." Nik sighed.

"Yep... Just figured you should know," Lydia replied in an angry tone.

"What's wrong, love?" Nik asked.

"I'm not allowed to kill your precious doppelganger," Lydia replied.

"I need her," Nik replied, "human her."

"Yeah well, when you're done needing her I get to kill her," Lydia told him.

"I'm always gonna need her," Nik replied.

Lydia's war pager went off and she growled lightly.

"Then we have to move away from her and you just have to travel for blood, Hmmm? That work, Princess?" 

"Why are you so angry now?"

"I have to go," Lydia said quickly.

"Wai-"

"Bye."

Lydia hung up the phone and growled to herself, "Gotta go to fucking war, lovely. Love. Ly."

She walked back down the stairs in her leather suit, guns and knives strapped to her legs and sides, katanas attached to her back. Rebekah was walking out the door with a suitcase.

"Where are you going?" Lydia asked.

"Moving in with the Salvatores for the next few days on account of we had a fight over Mikael to murder my brother that I am absolutely pissed off at, Savy?"

Lydia smirked and nodded.

"Where are you going?" Bex asked.

"Duty calls," Lydia replied, throwing her arms out to the side and falling backwards through a portal.

Bex smiled and closed the door behind her.

Lydia walked up beside Henrik at the front lines. 

"They're just standing there... quietly," He told her.

"So I get paged?"

"This never happens..." Henrik replied.

Lydia rolled her eyes and stepped past the front lines and an arrow flew into her shoulder.

She sighed and shook her head.

"I hate people," she said.

 She pulled a flask out of her bra and drank everything in it before throwing it to the side.

"Let's do this," She shouted to her army before charging their opponents.
