Elena Gilbert walked up the steps of the Mikaelson house, her invitation clutched in hand. She hadn't been here in over 50 years, and had never intended to return. Why Bonnie Bennet her former best friend and witch had decided to have a wedding here of all places, where the memories of darkness were always present, was beyond her. Last she had heard from Bonnie she was with Damon in Paris getting as far away from Mystic Falls as possible, that was about 20 years ago. Elena didn't keep in contact with anyone except Caroline, and that was just a yearly email about the latest Mikaelson family gossip. Elena still had no idea if Damon talked to Stefan anymore, she guessed not since they had parted on more than bad terms.
"You ready?" Damon asked her, looking a bit nervous himself.
"Ya, lets do this" Elena said biting her lip.
"Are you sure you don't need a pep talk, some ice cream maybe?" Damon smirked.
"No I think I'm okay" Elena answered happy to have Damon with her.
"Remember if things get awkward-"
"I left my grandmothers necklace in Hawaii I know Damon, I Know" she said kissing him on the cheek.
They both walked up to the double doors. After arguing for about 30 seconds deciding who should knock the door swung open.
"ELENA!" Caroline yelled, she leapt from the doorway and grasped Elena in a ferocious embrace. Caroline looked good, of course. She was wearing a blue dress with her long blonde hair in a bun.
"Caroline-its-good-to-see-you!" Elena said, but barley was able to get it out because of the way Caroline was choking her.
"Oh sorry, but thank god you're here Katherine is being a major bitch" Caroline spat.
"Katherine?" Damon said is eyes widening.
"Ya, duh" Caroline said as if it was a completely regular normal thing to have that psychopath running around the house.
"Okay explain the duh," Elena said, watching Damon mentally prepare himself for Katherine Stefan and Rebekah all at once. Basically both or their worst nightmares combined.
"Well you can't really have Elijah with no Katherine since he hates pretty much everyone here, and Elijah would probably be in Venice with Katherine eating gelato if Kol hadn't picked him as his best man. Do you know how hard I worked to even get him here? I almost had to promise to make sure Klaus wouldn't get within a ten foot radius of him then I had to butter him saying he was the better brother and how it would be defeat to let Klaus be Kol's best man, I mea you'd think he'd step it-"
"Whoa hold up Katherine and Elijah?" Damon interrupted his voice rising and octave.
"Ya I told you in my email, can you not read?"
"Well maybe if you titled it DAMON DAMON KATHERINE AND ELIJAH ARE HOOKING UP instead of OMG DAMON STEFAN AND REBEKAH ARE IN LONDON AND YOU WILL NOT BELIVE WHAT KLAUS JUST SAID TO ME" Damon snapped. Elena didn't know why this was so important to him; she'd thought he'd forgotten Katherine.
"I DO NOT DO THAT"
"Well you might as well since I can't tell the difference!"
"Ladies, Ladies you're both pretty" Klaus said stepping through the doorway. Elena looked Klaus up and down; he was still gorgeous of course, but she new what lurked behind those inviting eyes. He was wearing a flowing shirt and jeans, with one arm wrapped around Caroline.
"Damon just found out about Elijah and her," Caroline said jerking her head towards the house.
"Oh, understandable" Klaus muttered in disgust. Accompanied by a gagging sound from the house followed by a "Shut up Kol!"
"We don't want her here either, she's worse than Finn" Klaus whispered.
"I heard that Klaus!"
"You were supposed to darling!" Klaus yelled over his shoulder, back at Katherine.
"She's just cranky Elijah's went to pick up the flowers for the wedding" Caroline muttered.
"Wait Elijah's not here?"
"No he's been gone for a couple days but he's getting back tonight"
"A couple days? For flowers?" Damon said.
"THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO THE WEDDING!" Caroline yelled obviously having discussed this before. Caroline stomped angrily in to the house; while Klaus mouthed I don't even know behind her.
