Disclaimer: I don't own The Vampire Diaries/The Originals. I only on my OC Eliza Marshall. Thanks to daystorm for helping me with this story. Also thanks to those who reviewed. Enjoy:

As Eliza and Hayley arrived at the Lockwood Mansion, the place was crowded with people mingling about and music pumping through base speakers. This mansion is Huge. Water fountain figurines sprinkling water around the grounds and twinkling lights in the bushes. Eliza parks the car and they exited slamming their door in sync.

"So this is where Tyler's hiding out?" Eliza asks her sister Hayley as they make their way to the mansion.

"Apparently so." Hayley says sighing looking the mansion over. "Why don't you stay out here and mingle about and I'll go inside to see if Tyler's around."

Eliza nodded her head as Hayley makes her way inside. She grabs a glass of champagne by a passing waiter and sips it slowly savoring the sweet taste while keeping her eyes peal open for Tyler and any drunks that would want to make a pass at her. The last time a guy try that, she and Hayley ended up activating their wolf curse. What a horrible night that was Eliza thought quickly shaking those thoughts away.

Eliza looks around outside for something to occupied her time while she waits for Hayley's return. She looks left and right and she doesn't see anything that would pipe her interest. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a man making his way toward her and she rolls her eyes thinking here we go. She turns toward the man placing a fake smile on her face.

"Hi there" the man says with a smile and a wink.

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing here all alone?"

"I'm not here alone, I'm here with my sister, not that it's any of your business."

The man looks around.

"I don't see her."

"She inside." Eliza says feeling uncomfortable with the way the man was eying her up and down.

Quickly getting annoy with the man, she finishes her drink off and stalks her way into the party leaving the guy behind. After searching area and after area for Tyler, she hears Hayley called "Eliza, over here".

She turns to the sound of Hayley's voice and see her waving in her direction. She makes her way over to her sister and Tyler.

"There you are, I was getting worry about you."

"I'm fine Hayley."

"I can take care of myself"

"Eliza", Tyler called. "Long time no see Lockwolf." Eliza says as she and Tyler share a hug while chuckling "awesome party by the way, she whisper in his ear.

As she pulled back, she pushes him back saying "We thought Klaus killed you." She says angrily.

"We were worry sick."

"I should have called you guys, letting you know I was okay."

"From where, your trailer park in Florida" Eliza teases him.

She pushes his shoulder lightly saying" you liar! You're totally loaded."

After all we did for you, we chained you up all over the Appalachians, and we talked you through every turn. We helped you break the sire bond."

"You could have told us your real story. We wouldn't have judge you or anything. Were your friends, Ty?

"We care about you."

Tyler sighs deeply and turn to us saying "I didn't want you guys following me back here.

"Mystic Falls isn't safe for any werewolf's right now, especially with Klaus around. His hybrids are all over this place and so is he."

"We know that Klaus is in town, that's how we were able to track you down. One of his hybrids is with a pack we used to run with. He called Eliza and inform her that he was coming to protect a guy named Tyler, and I thought, "what are the chances that it would be you?"

"Hayley just have a gut feeling, and I have learn most of her gut feelings are real." Eliza laughs nudging her sister side with her hip.

Hayley laughs and pushes Eliza lightly in her side as Tyler watches the sister antics.

"Well now that we have found you safe and sound from Klaus's clutches this calls for a toast." Hayley says as she grabs three glasses of champagne and handed one to Eliza, took one for herself and handed one to Tyler.

She clears her throat and all three hold up their glasses as she says" to finding Tyler in one piece and to a brighter future for all three of us"

"I'll drink to that." Eliza says as they all click their glasses together. Eliza feels relief at finding Tyler alive and well. Maybe this was a start to a brand new beginning for the both of them. Maybe things were finally going right.

After excusing himself to check on his guests, Eliza and Hayley made themselves at home while snooping around his living room unaware of the person standing in the walkaway of the living room eyeing them.

Eliza feeling eyes on her, thinking it's Tyler trying to sneak up on them she says "Did you really think you could sneak up on us Ty?" Eliza laughs as she and Hayley turn around to face Tyler but instead faces a blonde hair man with piercing blue eyes and very handsome in their eyes.

"You're a new faces" Klaus says walking into the living.

Eliza places the picture frame they was looking at down on the table and turns toward the new comer and says "I take it from your accent you're an old one. You must be Klaus."

"My reputation precedes me, hopefully not all bad." Klaus replies walking toward us, me pushing by sister behind me protectively.

"A little bad, mostly repulsive."

Klaus continuing stalking towards me very slowly and says "So you're a friend of Tyler's.

"That's strange."

"He's never mentioned you."

"Well I'm not someone worth remembering."

Klaus tilt his head to the side as he's listening to Tyler talk to Caroline outside.

Klaus then turns toward us and says to me smirking "I think I know why too."

Klaus makes his leave, leaving us alone with the smirk still on his face like he knows a secret. Thinking nothing about it, Eliza turns toward her sister.

"So that was the almighty Klaus." Eliza says smirking.

"What do you say we stay in town for a little while?

I have a feeling I'm going to like living in Mystic Falls."

Hayley smiles agreeing. Maybe it won't be so bad at all.
