This is the sequel to 'What if Elena and Tyler were together?'

3 years have passed since Caroline and Stefan's wedding. Elena and Tyler after graduating college got married and moved back to Mystic Falls. Elena is a journalist and Tyler is a lawyer.

Chapter 1

Elena still couldn't believe how much her life had changed. She was a journalist for a newspaper in Charlottesville, married to Tyler Lockwood and lived with him in the Lockwood mansion. She was very content and happy with her life that didn't involve the supernatural.

Everything was going great until the day she received a devastating phone call from one of Tyler's coworkers at the law firm telling her that Tyler had been in a terrible car accident, totaling his car, the car of the driver in front of him and causing that driver to die of their injuries. They told her that Tyler had been rushed to the hospital in Charlottesville and was in ICU. Once they hang up Elena rushes to the hospital.

Elena arrives at the hospital and finds out what room Tyler is staying in. She hurries to his room and catches a doctor leaving his room. Due to her worry for Tyler' health she stops the doctor and says, "I'm Tyler's wife. How is he doing?"

"He has severe internal bleeding, a broken back, arms and legs and has been in and out of consciousness since he arrived due to his concussion. You're lucky he's even still alive." The doctor says matter-of-factly.

Elena gives him a smile, ignoring his terrible bed-side manner, and says, "Thank you." The doctor keeps walking and she quickly goes inside Tyler's room.

Once she reaches his bed-side she finds Tyler in a full body cast and hooked up to a multitude of medical equipment and an IV pump. Since Tyler is out of consciousness now Elena grabs a chair in the room, drags it closer to Tyler's bed and sits next to him holding his hand while she waits for him to wake up.

About an hour later Tyler stirs to find Elena at his bed-side holding his hand. "Hey, babe." He says kinda groggy.

At the sound of his voice Elena turns in her seat towards Tyler and gives Tyler a hug, making sure to be careful of his injuries, and a kiss on the lips. "Tyler, you're alive." Elena says.

"Of course I'm alive. I just wish the man that was driving the other car didn't die at my hands. Now I have to turn every full moon again." Tyler says, a look of dread coming over his face.

For the first time in years Elena wished she was still a human because then they could have Klaus turn Tyler into a hybrid and she could use her doppelganger' blood to complete the transformation. Of course maybe that didn't matter she hoped. "There's got to be something we can try to make you a hybrid again so you don't have to turn on full moons." Elena says.

"Oh no! I'm not going to go see Klaus no matter what he could do for me. I don't want to have to break my sire bond to him again." Tyler says quite upset.

"I was just trying to figure out a way to help." Elena says.

"Find me any other hybrid and I might consider it." Tyler tells Elena.

"We don't know any other hybrids. Klaus is it." Elena reminds him, remembering how Hayley helped with killing Klaus' hybrids.

"No. He's just the only one that we know of. I'm sure we could find another one." Tyler says.

"You're not going to make this easy are you?" Elena asks and Tyler shakes his head no. "Of course not. Maybe I shouldn't give you my vampire blood to help you recover quicker." Elena teases not serious in her threat.

"I do know one thing. I can't go through another transformation." Tyler says.

"Then we're gonna have to go see Klaus. Besides you beat your sire bond once before" Elena reminds him.

"Well if we're going to go visit Klaus I need to be healed first. You know with some vampire blood." Tyler hints.

"Oh right." Elena remembers what she was going to do. She takes a bite out of her wrist and gives Tyler her wrist to feed on.

Tyler starts sucking on Elena's wrist and begins to drink the blood that is seeping out of the bite.

When Elena feels Tyler starting to bite on her wrist she tells him, "Okay that's enough," and pulls her arm away. "You should hopefully be healed by tomorrow so we can start our search for Klaus in the morning." Elena says.

A nurse appears in the room and noticing the blood around Tyler's mouth, screams, "What's going on?"

Elena acting quickly jumps up from her chair and rushes over to the nurse. She looks her in the eyes and compels her, "You came to check on Tyler. He was fine. Now you're going to go check on your next patient."

The nurse turns around and walks out of the room. "Wow, Elena. That was awesome to watch. You should let yourself be a vampire more often."

"I only compel when I have to for our safety." Elena leans over Tyler and gives him a kiss on the lips so she can lick the blood off his lips. "We don't want anymore nurses freaking out."

"I was hoping you would do that." Tyler smirks.

"I'm gonna go home and grab something to eat. I'm starved." Elena says actually meaning she was going to suck a blood bag dry. She could just steal a blood bag from the hospital but then she would have to deal with compelling a lot of people and possibly getting caught. "I'll be back later, Ty." Elena says and gives him a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room.

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 1. Coming up next chapter Elena and Tyler come face to face with Rebekah. Will she actually help them? Keep reading to find out.
