"Are we out of the woods yet? Are we in the clear yet?..."
Elena Gilbert thought she knew pain, she was not even close. Eudora- a powerful elemental witch- knew pain, she knew loss, mourning and grief better than any other. Her sisters were parts of...

"Can we pull over at some point? We've been driving all day" Eudora pouted from the back seat and Klaus grumbled, he wasn't in as good a mood as the previous day, none of them were really sure why that was and chose not to ask. As far as they could gather, they were searching for werewolf packs... and not being very successful about it.
"Here we are, we'll stop for lunch, yes?" Klaus questioned, not really expecting an answer as he pulled in to a small diner just off of the road. Stefan shot Eudora a look, one which she smiled at as she hopped out of the car and stretched her legs like a child.
"Do you even know where we're heading?" Stefan asked their captor. "Because it seems like we've been driving for days and are yet to find anything worth stopping for" he informed, raising an eyebrow.
"It's all in the grand plan Stefan" the hybrid nodded, patting his friends shoulder before strutting away, Stefan looked down at the blonde who shrugged. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Stefan proceeded to follow Klaus, Eudora's fingers knitting with his. One another is all that they had left now.
Within the diner, Klaus had already taken up a seat in a corner booth and they slid in to join him.
"Come and sit with me love" Klaus patted the seat beside him and she frowned but did as she was told. Eudora was lucky in the fact that she hadn't been asked to do very much yet but it seemed that that was about to change.
The group ordered some food which came surprisingly quickly and Stefan and Eudora were put on edge by the way that klaus kept glancing around the diner as they ate.
"This is good" the witch pointed out awkwardly as she sipped a milkshake and Stefan smiled at her, Klaus still ignoring them both. It was only half an hour into their meal, when the food was gone and they were ready to go, that Klaus finally spoke.
"Alright; time to put you to some use I think" Eudora looked up at him, mentally preparing herself for whatever he asked her to do.
"I need you to distract that gentleman over there, yes? Get your flirt on Dora"
"Do I have permission to kill him?"
"If it goes drastically wrong then yes but try not too" he smirked and pushed her to stand. Sighing and preparing herself, Eudora made her way toward the man. She leant against the counter, not too far away from him as if she was waiting for some service.
"well hiya little lady" his voice was slimy and his face wasn't much better as she turned to him with an overly cheery beam to match her bright blonde hair.
"Hi"
"What's a cutie like you doing here all alone?"
"Well, I was hoping for a milkshake but the service is poor" she whispered the last bit, causing him to lean in closer to her and then she giggled, as though shocked by what she had just said. Her bright teeth bit into her candy coloured lip and he gulped in response.
"How 'bout yah come on back to our place? We'll get yah some good service" he stated, testing the water, gesturing to the men around him who were busy chatting up the waiters. Klaus truly had sent her to the most hideous one.
"Right, that's enough love" speak of the devil. Klaus slung his arm over her shoulders and she was shocked to find that she was actually relieved to see him after her ordeal with the ugly man. Stefan leant against the counter a little way away, his expression void but his eyes glittering with an emotion she couldn't read.
"Good to see you have some use after all" he smirked at her, the man looking incredibly shocked at the scene currently unfolding before his eyes. "You can distract even while wearing that" he gestured to her hoodie and leggings. "Come along you" he finally compelled the man and they exited the diner together. "Dinner Stefan" klaus pointed out and Stefan rose an eyebrow. "Well go on, tap a vein"
"You have got to be joking?" Eudora cut off as Stefan began to drink from the man eagerly. "You made me go through all that... for a snack?"
"It was a test Little Love, you should be proud, you passed with flying colours." He praised, guiding her back to the car. "And Stefan was definitely jealous" he added on as a whisper. "Don't think I haven't noticed that you two are yet to kiss in my presence"
"A kiss? That's what this is all about" she scoffed as she jumped back into her seat, ignoring Klaus' smirk as he shut the door on her. Stefan entered just after, wiping blood from his chin and he was glad to find that Eudora didn't even seem disgusted by it, her face remained passive as she flattened her blanket once more. She swivelled, ignoring seatbelt laws to place her legs across the bench seat in the back of the SUV, yawning as they continued their journey.
Eudora knew for certain that things were changing all around her since leaving mystic falls. Acacia was locked in a coffin, desiccated with her one true love, Stefan and Eudora were getting closer under the scrutinising gaze of the original hybrid. And they were scouring the globe for werewolves. It was destined to be a very repetitive decade but as Eudora glanced at Stefan in the mirror, she couldn't bring herself to regret the decision she had made in coming with them. It was one of the best decisions she had ever made. And she didn't know where she would be if she'd said no.
