Hey fellow writers, this could be considered Chapter 2 of my story, but considering different characters occur in these scenes, it's not necessary to read Chapter 1 first although, i'd appreciate any and all feedback on the two! Thanks(:

Rebekah entered her foreclosure with reluctance. She'd killed Elena, and Alaric had gone to the other side, therefore there was nothing further keeping her and her brothers in Mystic Falls. Damon and Stefan would wreak havoc had anything happened to her and the Mikaelson's had long been their target. There was nothing stopping her and Elijah from running and taking their family to a place unseen and unheard of. She was prepared to find an unwanted guest, hungry for retribution. She kicked the door open, her guard up, and watched Tyler slip in front of her. Her veins trickled gray beneath her eyes as she prepared to fight, "I thought you were dead," she scoffed, disappointed.
"Don't believe everything you hear, sister. Nothing and no one in this town is ever what they seem," he coyly replied.
She slowly stepped closer, huffing faintly in relief. "How?"
"They wouldn't let Alaric kill me since they solely believe I had turned their entire bloodline. And since Tyler would surely have suffered, Bonnie saw to it that no one could be hurt."
"You may want to play games with them all, but I'm done with the competition. We didn't lose this one, Nicklaus. You got your family back. All that's left to do is survive and we can do that together." Rebekah had sounded as tired as the words she spoke.
"As long as no one knows I'm alive, I'm safe here. Besides, if they couldn't have me dead in my own body… they couldn't kill me in Tyler's." Klaus spit his logic through his teeth.
"Well, than, I guess you've got everything figured out." She walked slowly passed him, her forehead crinkled in disappointment. She then paused and without looking, uttered the threat, "You can find us when you're done here. But I'll have you know, we've forgiven you're past judgments, don't let us regret this one."
After a moment of collecting her things, Rebekah whisked by, swinging the door wide open to show her disappearance.
The next scene shows Klaus in Tyler's body, sneaking through the back door of the Lockwood house. It was the middle of the night and Carol was unlikely to be awake. He questioned why she wouldn't lock her doors considering the previous outing of her "town betrayal." Surely, the damage had hit her hard as he noticed her passed out on the couch, empty wine glass in hand. He flew upstairs and looked around the boy's room, hoping to find something that could better hide his identity. Klaus recalled the holder of the moonstone and wondered what further secrets laid within the Lockwood legacy.
He rummaged through drawers and found high school pictures, a sketch book, and a journal. His journal seemed to depict the effects of each full moon as well as all the changes he went through since his last day away from Klaus. On the last page of the journal, Klaus read a list of names, numbered and grouped. The word 'found' and a date were above each grouping. Klaus had assumed these were people he had met, who had helped him survive while he was gone. Anyhow, one name stood out to him… Hayley O'Conner. It was the first name of the first group on the page and had appeared several times throughout his last few entries.
Klaus learned that Tyler had met Hayley on his first night in the mountains. She had revealed herself to be a close friend of Mason Lockwood, and offered her assistance as Tyler tried to break his sire bond to Klaus. He read that she'd been familiar with Klaus's antics, when suddenly a creak sounded from the wooden panels downstairs. Klaus heard a yawn, glasses clinking together, and slippers shuffling to the sink with the dripping faucet. He waited till her heartbeat sounded on the opposite side of the house and left the way he came.
Klaus read deeper into Tyler's journal as he marked the land he'd visited. Klaus knew those communities well, as he took most of them over while searching for hybrids with Stefan. Klaus thought about his endeavors with Stefan and received a vivid picture of the names in his closet. He could picture Hayley's name listed and crossed out. That had to have meant he'd let her free if she were still roaming the premises. And that's when he recollected her pointed nose and the piercing green eyes that were molded by her shaped brows. She was manipulative and whimsical, and above all else, she was a tease. But that was just what he wanted… and Klaus always got what he wanted.
