Hello Readers. It is time to play another round of Big Brother. Are you ready?

Chapter 4: The First Nomination Night

Tyler walked back into the HoH room with Jenna, Alaric and Mason. "Hi, there." Lexi greeted them. Mason grinned at her and Jenna tripped over her own feet and giggled as Alaric grabbed her to stop her from falling. "I want to talk you all about who to nominate this week." Lexi smirked as Jenna sat down on the couch facing the bed and began to giggle. "Did you bring the bottle with you?" Mason and Alaric produced bottles and Lexi laughed at them.

Stefan took the one from Alaric. Mason shrugged and began to drink again. Tyler reached out for the bottle. Mason held out a hand. "No, alcohol for the virgin. You might lose your V-card on national TV and then your mother would have me killed."

Tyler groaned. "I was kidding. Care and I have sex all the time."

Stefan chuckled. "Sure you do, Tyler."

Tyler turned red. "What did she tell you?"

"Nothing." Stefan said, smirking.

"Come on, guys, focus. Nominations." Lexi flopped back on the bed. She was exasperated. She did not want to make this decision alone. Not because she was afraid to make the decision. She just did not want to get voted out next week.

Jenna perked up. "You should put up Klaus. He gives me the wiggins."

Alaric shook his head. "You should put up Elijah. He'll never see it coming."

Mason thought about it. "I agree. Put up Elijah."

"This doesn't have anything to do with Katherine, does it?" Stefan asked. He had seen the way that Katherine and the werewolf had been flirting.

Mason shook his head. "No, of course not. But you need to break up the Originals. Otherwise they run the game."

Lexi thought about that. "He has a point." She told Stefan, who was nodding. "And we don't know where he is. Come to think of it Finn, Sage and Katherine haven't been up here to talk to me. Why are people not telling me who they want me to put up? Tyler, go find everyone else and tell them to get up here. I will talk to them one at a time."

Tyler went outside and informed the others that they needed to come in to talk to Lexi. He knocked on Finn and Sage's door and informed them that Lexi wanted to speak to each of the people in the room.

After coming back upstairs to the HoH room Lexi told everyone to leave the room, except for Stefan. Lexi had Klaus come in first. "Who would you like me to put up and why?" Lexi asked Klaus.

Klaus sat back on the couch and smirked. "Well, I can't say that I want Stefan to go up. After all he is an old friend of both of us. Caroline, Liz and my family are not to be considered. I would love to see Tyler Lockwood out but he is not a big enough target. So, I would like to see Elena Gilbert and Alaric Saltzman put up. They have connections throughout the house."

Lexi nodded. "Thank you, Klaus. You can send Elena in now."

Klaus left the room and sent Elena in. Lexi smiled at Elena. "Hey, girl. Who do want to see go packing this week?"

Elena bit her lip. "I don't really know. How about … Klaus … and Rebekah."

"Thank you, Elena. Please send Kol in."

Kol came in the room with a big grin. "Hello, mate and lovely woman." He flopped down on the bed beside Lexi. "What would you like to talk about?"

Lexi laughed. "You're amusing. I think I'll keep you around this week."

Kol beamed at her. "Does that mean I can spend the night?"

Lexi rolled her eyes and smirked. "Don't push your luck. Now, who do you want to be put up on the block today?"

Kol thought about it. "Elena Gilbert and Liz Forbes. We already have Finn and Lijah. We don't need law enforcement in here as well."

"Thank you, Kol, please send Bonnie in." Kol bounced out of the room.

"Bonnie, darling, Lovely Lexi wants you." Kol wiggled his eyebrows and Bonnie pushed past him. "Oh, she touched me." Kol moaned.

Bonnie walked into the HoH room. "Hi." She said looking at Lexi and Stefan.

"Hey, Bon," Stefan smiled at her. "Who do you want to go on the block?"

Bonnie frowned. "I don't really know. There isn't anyone I really hate in this house. "Well, I guess Katherine and Klaus are evil. So, you can put them up."

"Thank you, Bonnie." Stefan said. "Can you send send Caroline in?"

Bonnie went out into the hallway. "Care, it's your turn."

Caroline walked in to the room. "Hi."

"Hi," Lexi and Stefan greeted Caroline. "Who do you want to see go home?" Lexi asked.

Caroline sighed. "Tyler or Mason."

Lexi nodded. "Okay. I'm not going to ask why. Can you send Jeremy in?"

Caroline returned to the hallway. "Jer, it's your turn."

Jeremy stepped inside. "Hey guys. What's up?"

"Who do you want to send home?" Stefan asked.

"Klaus and Damon." Jeremy said. "Because they're big threats in this game."

"Okay, can you send in Rebekah?" Lexi inquired.

Jeremy informed Rebekah that it was her turn. She walked in and stated, "Elena or Katherine. And I hate dopplegangers."

Lexi and Stefan looked at each other with looks of amusement. "Thanks, Rebekah." Lexi said. "Okay, Stef. You can go now. I'm going to make some decisions."

Rebekah and Stefan left together so that Lexi could decide who to put up. Lexi groaned. There were just too many people in this house and everyone seemed to have their own ideas about who should be put up. She was startled when someone knocked on the door. "Come in." She called.

Liz walked into the HoH room. "Hello, Lexi."

"Oh. Hi. Liz. I forgot that we didn't get to talk yet." Liz nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed, hesitantly.

Lexi smiled at Liz. "Don't worry. I won't bite."

Liz chuckled. "I wanted to make a deal with you. I don't want Caroline, Klaus or Damon to go up this week. If you can keep them safe. I will make sure that they will not put you up next week."

Lexi thought about it. "That could be an interesting alliance. Let me think a little bit about it and when I come downstairs you can find out what I decided. Okay?"

Liz looked nervous but nodded. She got up and left the room. Lexi picked up the keys and looked at each name. She slipped Stefan's key into the slot and then Tyler's. He had been a good little minion for the week. She then slid Kol's key in next. After making her selection she carried the box downstairs.

"Hey, everybody, it's time for the nomination ceremony." After the group gathered round the table Lexi pulled out the first key. "Stefan, you are safe." She announced, before laying his key down and spinning the dais.

Stefan took the key and placed it around his neck. "Thanks, Lex." He pulled out the next key. "Tyler, you are safe."

Tyler took his key. "Cool." Tyler grinned and removed the next key. "Kol you are safe." He spun the dais to Kol.

Kol grinned as he placed his key around his neck. "Thank you, Lovely Lexi." He pulled the next key out and began to laugh hysterically. "Damon, you are safe." He spun the dais to Damon.

"Thanks, Lexi." Damon said, his confusion written all over his face. He pulled the next key. "Whoa, didn't see that one coming … you are safe."
