This is a longer chapter than what I usually post, so hopefully you guys like it. Everyone will find out who Elijah is paired with in later chapters so don't you worry child. Thank you again everyone for your lovely reviews!
The continuous banging against a door and Kol's incessant yelling woke Klaus from his already broken sleep. With a growl he flew out of bed and stood at his door where he found his younger brother pacing up and down the hallway impatiently.
"What's with all the racket?" Klaus hissed.
"Rebekah is being such a girl," Kol groaned, almost pulling out his hair before banging on the door again. "Come on, Bekah, we're going to be late!"
"Late for what?" Klaus asked.
"I thought it was about time I graced Mystic High with my presence."
Klaus laughed at the thought of Kol going to High School, neither of his siblings have attended school for decades. For the first time he was glad not to have been turned during his teenage years.
With that Rebekah's bathroom door flew open, revealing an already irritated blonde vampire. "Okay I'm ready, stop with your shrieking."
Rebekah raised her chin and ignored the way her brother's furrowed their brows as they looked over her. The short skirt and tight top only made the crease in their brows more prominent.
"Yup, our sister is a trollop," Kol said following his sister.
"Shut up." Rebekah whipped around to give her brother a deadly glare. "Why are you even going? You're going to ruin everything."
"I'm doing this for you, Bekah." The smile was practically heard in his voice. "You made going back to High School sound so fun that I thought I'd join you."
Rebekah leered at him. "Elijah's making you apologize, isn't he?"
The arrogant smile dropped from Kol's face and a slight pout instead surfaced.
Rebekah burst out with laughter. Kol was not known for apologizing for his actions, he was almost as bad as Klaus, but if anyone were to make the young reckless vampire apologize it was their eldest brother.
"Enjoy your day sister," Elijah said, kissing Rebekah on the forehead.
"What about me 'Lijah?" Kol puckered his lips at Elijah, which earned him a well-earned glare from his older brother.
Elijah watched his siblings skip out the door. He smiled and took in such a rare moment, the image of his younger brother and sister smiling as they waved him goodbye almost made him feel human.
"That's exactly what they looked like when we took them hunting for the first time," Finn said with a chuckle as he watched his younger siblings. "Happy."
That made Elijah's smile widen. He remembered that day, they had snuck away with their father's bow so Elijah could teach Kol how to use it. The boy was so excited he almost shot Finn in the foot. After Kol's first catch Rebekah and Klaus became restless and they started tackling Finn to the ground, it became one of Elijah's most precious memories with his family.
"Look at the both of you," Klaus said from behind his brothers. "Strolling down memory lane?"
They turned, a smile on both their faces. "Do you remember that day, Niklaus?"
"Of course I do," Klaus said fondly. "You let Kol believe his first shot killed that deer. What a liar you are, brother."
Elijah chuckled. "Well he was so excited, I just let him have it."
"I'm going to tell him."
"Don't you dare," Elijah warned.
"He's the way he is because you let that first shot get to his head. All that ego, is because of you," Klaus teased.
A laugh erupted between the brothers. It was rare for the three men to have such an easy moment. They hadn't been this way since before they were turned, the dynamic between the three had changed dramatically and neither of them thought they'd be able to get back to the way they were.
"And what are your plans for the day, brother?" Elijah asked when the laughter had finally died down.
"Well I heard that my little hybrid has finally come home, I thought I'll pay him a visit," Klaus said with a titled head as he looked at both his brothers. "What about you? You two have been mighty mysterious these past couple of days."
"You're being paranoid Niklaus."
"Am I?" Klaus looked at Finn. "Well we'll have to see won't we? Just remember Finn, I don't like surprises."
Klaus made his way to the entrance, giving a look to both his brothers. The blonde muttered when he opened the door and looked out the driveway.
"What is it?" Elijah asked at Klaus' distress.
"Kol." Klaus growled.

Kol had that confident smirk on his lips as he closed the door to Klaus' Mercedes. He couldn't help himself from jumping into the drivers seat when he found it looking so welcoming in the driveway. He didn't have time to get himself a car so Klaus' was of course his first option.
"You know, Nik is going to kill you when he finds out you stole his car," Rebekah said, following her brother to the entrance of the building.
"Please, you didn't even try to stop me, Bekah." Kol watched the number of teenagers mingle around the entrance of the school. "Now, let's make history, shall we sister?"
Rebekah smiled with her brother as they made their entrance. They walked confidently down the halls, earning the stares from their fellow peers. The whispers started to buzz around them when they finally found their lockers.
"Looks like we still have it," Kol said with a wink.
"They were looking at me Kol," Rebekah teased.
The two shared a laugh before someone caught Rebekah's eye. She watched Matt make his way toward his locker, her smiled shifted as she looked over his tired face. Her confident stride turned into slow nervous steps as she walked to him.
"Hey," the blonde vampire greeted.
"What are you doing here?" he asked through tight lips.
"I go to school here now." Rebekah's eyes averted to the ground at Matt's hostile attitude. "I'm sorry about the other night, I really am. I had nothing to with it."
"You mean you had nothing to do with your brother almost killing me?" Matt said with a scoff as he shoved his books in his locker.
"Yes," she murmured, not sure what else to say to dig out of the hole Kol had dug for herself. "I understand if you don't want to talk to me, but I really am sorry."
Rebekah averted her eyes to the floor again and walked away in defeat. She was quite fond of this boy but she hadn't had a clue on how to fix their friendship. A sad smile graced her lips before Matt called after her.
With a sigh he finally said, "Thanks… for the soup." Before leaving to go to class.

After his idiot little brother stole his car Klaus was forced to steal Elijah's, the absence of the roar in the engine guaranteed Kol's death. Klaus wanted his car.
He was about to knock on the door of the Lockwood house when he heard the voices of Tyler with an unknown female acquaintance. He perked a brow when the girl's giggles echoed through his ear. Having been invited inside the blonde hybrid didn't bother to knock before making his way toward the living room.
Klaus raised his brows to his hairline at the sight before him. Tyler had the mysterious girl in his arms as they shared an embrace. It was rather long until Tyler noticed the man standing by the door.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the boy hissed.
"Please, don't let me interrupt."
He watched as Tyler stood in front of the girl. Before he could retort there was a knock at the door, he hesitated to leave the two alone but the girl had reassure him that she can handle herself. Klaus found that rather humorous.
Klaus looked at the brunette stranger. "You're a new face."
"Hayley." Klaus opened his mouth to introduce himself but the girl continued in a rather confident voice. "You're Klaus, I heard all about you."
"I'm glad my reputation precedes me." He smiled and took a step toward the girl. "It's strange though, Tyler's never mentioned you."
Klaus raised a brow at the slight look of disappointment on the girl's face. Then the sweet voice of Caroline caught his attention. He listened closely as Caroline hugged and greeted Tyler.
"You're not even dressed. We're going to be late for school," Caroline said. "I'll wait here while you change."
A small smile surfaced Klaus' lips, it always amused him whenever Caroline was forceful or controlling. Then a hint of jealously overcame him when he heard the sound of a little kiss shared between the couple.
"Or I could help you." The vampire whispered seductively.
He shifted on his feet and unknowingly clenched his fists.
"Uh…" Tyler stammered. "I was thinking of skipping today, but you go and I'll see you later."
With a perked brow Klaus could practically hear Caroline's disappointment and confusion on her face. "But… it's the first day you're back. I haven't seen you in so long…"
"I know Care, but I'm pretty beat. I'll meet you later, trust me I'm no fun right now."
Klaus turned to give the girl a devilish grin, "And I think I know why."

Kol had gone to the office to enroll both himself and his sister. He had his back to the door while he spoke to the office lady when he heard a familiar voice.
"Can we just have a normal day, please?" The voice of Bonnie Bennett echoed through Kol's ears. "Oh hey, is that the new kid everyone's talking about?"
Kol heard Bonnie's voice from the office entrance. He didn't dare to turn around yet, amused at the fact that they obviously didn't know whom he was.
"Yeah I guess so," Elena said. He could feel their eyes on him.
"He looks kind of… hot."
Kol raised a brow, his arrogant grin on his face as he tried to listen to the office lady in front of him but he merely nodded distracted from the continued whispers of the girls.
"Bonnie, all you see is his back. Unless you're looking at something else." The girls giggled loudly that Kol didn't even need his vampire hearing. He almost burst out laughing himself.
"He's got a hot back and not a bad-" Bonnie's voice quickly cut off when he heard his sister's voice interrupt. He cursed Rebekah's timing. He would've loved to hear the end of that sentence.
He turned and leant back against the office desk to find the stunned faces and utterly embarrassed expressions of Elena and Bonnie. He couldn't help but smile at the slight shade of pink around Bonnie's cheeks. With confident steps Kol walked past the girls, and whispered in Bonnie's ear as he passed.
"You don't have such a bad behind yourself, darling."

Klaus was seated behind the desk with his feet up, resting comfortably while he waited for the boy to return. He listened to Caroline's reluctant words to meet him later, this little conversation caused the smirk that lingered on Klaus' lips.
He smiled when Tyler finally walked back through the door. The boy's eyes scanned the room before they settled on Klaus.
"Hayley had to leave but don't worry mate, I had her leave through the back door so Caroline wouldn't see," Klaus said with an arrogant voice. A hint of amusement lingered at the end of his words. "I'm sorry, did I spoil your plans with Hayley? From what I heard you were pretty 'beat' anyway. I think you should go lie down mate."
Klaus stood and stepped toward Tyler, the anger evident on his voice.
"And while you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep maybe you should think about important life lessons like honesty and whatnot."
"Look whatever you think you know-"
"Oh I don't know anything," Klaus interrupted. "But my imagination has always been a little bit too wild for it's own good. So why not tell me?"
Tyler clenched his jaw but didn't say a word.
With a smirk Klaus began to illustrate the convincing picture he'd put together. Accusing the boy of meeting a young werewolf girl in the Appalachians while desperately trying to break his sire bond.
"Emotions ran high, inhibitions ran low."
"Stop it!" Tyler interjected.
But Klaus continued, amused by Tyler's evident guilt on his face.
"Then, in a moment of weakness, the thick sexual tension became something much more real." Tyler stepped up to Klaus, his stare challenging the older hybrid. "And Caroline has no idea."
For a single moment a shift in Tyler's eyes confirmed everything for Klaus, and in that single second everything had changed. Without even a second thought the older hybrid found he had Tyler pinned against the wall.
Klaus gave a deadly whisper. "Caroline deserves a lot more than you."
