A/N hey guys, this is my first fanfic, it's a crossover of my two favourite shows- TVD and glee! It's probably gonna feature a lot of Klaine, and probably Delena- we'll see how this goes! I'm so excited XD
Umm I need to say thanks to my friend Tasha (cookiesandklaine) who helped me think of most of the plot- I couldn't have even started this without her!
Enjoy!
*EDIT*: I've sorted out the linebreak issue, so it's easier to read now hopefully :) Thanks

There was no-one else in the house, so Elena grudgingly switched off the TV that she was hardly watching anyway and reached over for the phone, yawning as she put it to her ear.
"Hello, sweetheart"
Elena's breath caught in her throat as she stopped and froze, suddenly completely alert. She gripped the phone so tightly her knuckles turned white.
"Klaus." It was all Elena could say without sounding completely terrified.
She though she heard a slight chuckle before Klaus started speaking again.
"It's time, Elena."
"F-for what?" Elena mentally cursed herself for the unintentional nervous stutter.
"Well, I just thought I should tell you. It's over. Right now my hybrids are getting ready to kill you all. They are surrounding the entire town. You cannot fight back."
Elena kept the phone to her ear long after Klaus had hung up, the dial tone the only thing she was aware of. And then it suddenly hit her- Klaus was going to kill them all.
It seemed almost the second she came to that realisation there came a resounding crash from upstairs.
Elena was out of the house as fast as her average-human fitness would take her and into the car, speeding away towards the relative safety of the Salvatore house.
~Time Skip~
At the Salvatore's, Elena couldn't stay still with the tension that filled herself and the others around her. She paced the front room, dimly aware of Damon and Ric haphazardly packing weapons into large bags. Elena couldn't stop thinking about the phone call with Klaus, It's time. Barely suppressing a shudder at the memory, Elena was glad to be disturbed from her reverie by a knock at the door.
Before Elena could panic, Caroline's voice sounded from the doorway," You guys! Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on? I think there was, like, a guy following us on the way here!" Caroline and Matt walked into the house with a sense of urgency.
Realisation dawned as Elena distantly remembered calling Caroline during the frantic drive toward Damon's house. She ran down the hall over to Caroline, pulling her friend into a hug," It's Klaus." Elena explained breathlessly," He's planning to kill us all..."
After Elena had explained the situation to Caroline and Matt, the five of them sat together on the couches, the bags overflowing with vampire hunter weapons piled in the middle of the room. Elena left messages for both Bonnie and Stefan, who weren't answering their phones. No-one knew where the two were, though it was probable they were already aware of the situation.
"What are we going to do?" Elena asked. The room was quiet, and no-one had said anything for a while.
It didn't look like there was a straightforward answer to the problem. Klaus was more powerful than all of them, and with his hybrids, he was virtually unstoppable.
"We need to leave Mystic Falls." Ric's voice suddenly cut through the silence. "If we stay here, Klaus can easily kill us. As much as I'm up for a fight, I think it would be smartest to get away whilst we can. Caroline was followed on the way over here; Klaus must've already started sending out his hybrids."
"I'm with Ric," Damon announced," Elena needs to stay safe."
Elena was horrified," You're saying we should just leave?" she couldn't believe what they were saying. "What about everyone else in Mystic Falls? I don't want innocent people to be hurt just because we ran away!"
Caroline shrugged," I'm sure loads more people would die if we started a fight. I agree we should leave."
"Me as well." Matt hadn't said much since he'd arrived. Since Matt's sister had died, he didn't really have much to stay for in this town except his friends, and Elena was sorry he'd been dragged into all the supernatural stuff.
Elena was shaking her head vehemently when there was another knock on the door, and Bonnie, breathless ran into the room.
"Everyone, Klaus is going to launch a final attack tonight! "She looked around, realising that everyone else already knew as no-one's face registered surprise at this information. "Anyway, me and Stefan have a plan. You guys will be able to get out of here; we can stop Klaus from following and keep back his hybrids."
Bonnie looked as though she had ran the whole way to the Salvatore house, and she impatiently looked around at her friends, waiting to see what they thought of the plan," Well?" she prompted.
Elena looked at Bonnie questioningly," What about you and Stefan? Will you come?"
Bonnie shook her head," No, Elena, we'll have to stay to take care of Klaus. But I'll be ok, trust me."
Elena narrowed her eyes defiantly," I'm not leaving without you." She warned.
Helplessly, Bonnie said" Look, Elena, I know what I'm doing. It's all planned out and won't fail, I promise. I'll meet you after you've got far away."
Elena opened her mouth to argue further but Damon spoke," This is our only chance, Elena. And you're coming whether you like it or not."
The argument ended soon after.
Ric and Damon shouldered the heavy bags of weapons- there wasn't much more luggage than this as there was hardly any time to grab anything, let alone go back home which Elena didn't want to do anyway, since she had heard the crash upstairs.
The six of them were walking down a small street, feeling completely paranoid and on high alert. Bonnie led the way, concentrating hard and ready to fight at a moment's notice. "The car is near the edge of town, a couple streets from Mystic Grill. We're almost there."
Elena nodded; she could already see the large sign for the grill a little way down the street. There were already many people walking to there, ready for a night of drinking, oblivious to what Klaus was planning. The sky was dark and overcast even though it was still early evening.
After they had passed the grill, there were hardly any people around. It was nearly impossible to keep from glancing around frantically for signs of hybrids. After a few minutes more of walking, they found the car, its engine running and the keys in the ignition. Stefan stood waiting next to the car and Elena gave an involuntary sigh of relief.
The relief she felt was too early, though, as several sets of footsteps suddenly started running towards them- hybrids.
"Get in the car!" Bonnie yelled, using a burst of power to knock back the first wave of hybrids. Stefan stood near her, and started to take out the ones which got past Bonnie. It looked as though they had the situation completely in control, which gave Elena comfort as she scrambled into a back seat, behind Alaric, who was driving. Caroline climbed in the middle next to Elena, and Matt sat next to Caroline. Damon called shotgun.
Without even waiting for everyone to close the doors, Ric slammed his foot onto the pedal and the car shot forwards down the road. Looking out of the back window, Elena saw Bonnie quickly surrounded by hybrids.
Caroline saw Elena's worried gaze," Bonnie will be fine." Caroline said firmly.
"I know." Elena said quietly, but carried on staring out of the window until they turned the corner. After about ten minutes of silent driving, it seemed as though Bonnie's plan had worked and they were not being followed.
Damon turned around in his seat to face Elena," Are you ok? You guys realise we are now on the run, right?" he seemed to have noticed how tense she was.
Elena looked at him, nodding," I guess..."
Matt suddenly spoke," Hey, guys? Where are we actually going?"
Elena started to answer before realising she didn't know. "We need to find Jeremy first; we can't let the originals find him." She said finally," And then we can take him with us to somewhere where we won't be found." She felt bad pulling Jeremy back into the situation, but she couldn't risk him getting hurt," So we're going to Ohio first."
Ric's foot was pressed firmly on the accelerator for most of the journey, so the resulting journey wasn't as long as it would have been if they had obeyed the traffic laws. Elena started out of her window, and a glance over at Matt showed he was doing the same. Caroline had somehow managed to doze off, her head rested on the headrest behind her seat.
Everyone was impossibly tense as they reached where Jeremy was supposed to be staying. They circled round for a bit, searching for the right house, and finally they pulled into the right street, Elena stepping out the car nervously to go and knock on the door. After a few awkward seconds of standing on the doorstep waiting, the door unlocked and opened, revealing a guy of average height with dark hair, who looked about the same age as Jeremy. His clothing suggested he had been lounging in front of the TV before Elena had arrived.
"Hey."
"Hi," Elena looked at him," does someone called Jeremy live here?"
The guy nodded, "Sure, Jere lives here. I'm his roommate, Luke. He isn't here right now, though. He said he was going to a friend's place a few streets away..." he rattled off the address to Elena when she prompted him.
Elena nodded, smiling slightly," thanks, Luke."
"Bye." Luke walked back inside to get back to whatever he had been doing.
Sighing, Elena walked back to the car, telling the others the address of Jeremy's friend, "Let's go."
It didn't long to reach the house where Jeremy was, and both Elena and Damon walked up to the door. Damon rang the doorbell," He better be here. We're not searching every house in Lima."
A teenage boy with blue eyes and porcelain skin answered the door. His light-brunette hair was slightly ruffled, and he looked annoyed, as if they had interrupted him in something." Yes? Who are you?"
"We need to see Jeremy. I'm Elena, his sister."
A call came from upstairs," Kurtiee come back! I'm getting cold!"
The boy who had answered the door- presumably Kurt, blushed and said quickly," He's upstairs. Come inside. I gotta go." He ran off into another room, leaving Damon and Elena to find their own way
There was a Play station on at full volume, and so the two boys in the room they had been directed to didn't turn as Elena and Damon walked in. They were totally into the game, insisting they were going to beat each other, and Elena suddenly could hardly speak at the prospect of seeing her brother again for the first time in ages.
"Jeremy?" Elena's brother turned around quickly as Elena spoke his name. He looked surprised, clearly not expecting her to be here.
"Elena!" Jeremy jumped up and pulled her into a hug," What are you doing here? Is everything ok?"
Elena started to explain how they need to leave- now. But Jeremy hardly let her say three words before he pulled up his friend, from where he was still sitting," Guys, this is Finn. Finn, this is my sister Elena and her... friend Damon."
Finn stared at Elena," Wow Jeremy, you never told me your sister was this hot!"
Jeremy gave Finn a strange look," Don't you have a girlfriend?" Finn shrugged, whilst Damon snickered. Elena chose to ignore them.
After an awkward silence, Elena started again," Look, Jere, we need to leave. That's why we came to get you. It was too dangerous to stay in Mystic Falls, so we're going to go to a place Damon knows of-"
Jeremy shook his head, interrupting," Elena, no. I have a life here, I have friends." He gestured to Finn, who was standing there looking completely lost, probably wondering what the hell was going on. "Why can't we all just stay here in Lima?"
Elena looked at her brother helplessly, and then at Damon," Damon, tell him..."
Damon shrugged," Actually, Elena, Jeremy has a point. I don't think Klaus would think to come here, Jeremy can stay at school here, and the rest of us can blend in."
Elena had a sinking feeling she was going to lose this argument," Well... Fine. I guess we're staying in Lima."
