Salvatore Boarding House

I let out a sigh as I sit down, my eyes are focused wearily on Klaus. Elijah looks quite irritated though too. Bonnie is staring at me with pressed lips before she glances at Elena in worry and Damon looks ready to drag me into another room for safe keeping. Katherine and Rose watch us curiously.

"What exactly do we have to discuss?" Stefan asks Nik with pressed lips as he holds Elena's hand tightly as he pulls Elena behind him.

Nik smirks at him before his eyes focus back on me and then Damon. "I have came into new information recently which means in need the doppelgänger to survive as a human after the ritual. What I need the lovely Caroline for is to help me make it. ."

"Convincing?" I ask him with a raised eyebrow as I tilt my head.

He rolls his eyes and then smirks at me, "Well, you're the one who mentioned making a deal."

"That doesn't mean you make up bullshit. It means that you make a deal that is beneficial to both parties. Like you letting your family go completely free, burning the daggers so that Eli isn't ready to kick your ass to hell and then drag your charming ass back just to do it all over again."

Nik scowls at me for a moment then and rolls his eyes in annoyance. "I am the one in charge here and I get the final say love."

"So what? You only have the final say if you make the best deal." I say with a frown as I raise a challenging eyebrow at him.

"I thought you threw our family in the ocean." Elijah responds flatly as he stares at his younger brother.

Klaus clears his throat and shrugs as he looks at his brother sheepishly. "So, I may have lied a bit."

Elijah's jaw ticks irritably as he glares at his brother. "And I suppose you weren't going to tell me that until I tried to kill you? Then what?"

"Well, if you tried to kill me then I'd probably just dagger you, of course while reuniting you with the rest of the family." Klaus says with a shrug as he looks at his brother, his lips pressed slightly but with a smirk of confidence.

"and here I thought we had issues." Damon mutters as he glances at Stefan who rolls his eyes.

I snort at that causing the attention to turn back towards me, I put my hands up in mock surrender. "I won't apologize, you're all idiots sometimes."

"So what?" Elena says irritably as she glares at me. "You think you're so perfect? Hiding behind Damon and your magic, you're a. ."

"Don't even think it Gilbert." Damon snaps at her angrily as the front door of the Boarding House opens and Alaric walks in with his large vamp fighting duffle bag.

He pauses the moment he steps into the room as he observes us all. . "Is this a bad time? I tried to call Caroline about an hour ago but she wouldn't pick up and . ."

Damon nods at him and I raise an eyebrow at them both in question as Alaric stares at me, Klaus crosses his arms as he watches us curiously. As the silent question hangs in the air Damon answers with a shrug as he looks at me seriously. "You've disappeared before."

"I've always came back." I reply back with a frown as I look at the two. "That one time I explored kind of and the second time I just hung out with Bree."

"As amusing as this is. ." Klaus says flatly, yeah, he's definitely not amused. He looks between Damon and Alaric darkly before his eyes brighten and his mouth twitches into a smirk while he looks at me. "I think we have somethings to discuss love."
