The two walked into the living and noticed Stefan wasn't completely alone. Rayne growled under her breath at the sight of Damon. The dark haired girl looked from Rayne to Damon. Everyone remained quiet.

"So you're ignorance's brother." Rayne said breaking the silence

Stefan nodded with a chuckle.

"I see you're the nicer one. Though he should be careful because I don't like it when people or in your case dead people try to kill me. If he does I will kill her." Rayne said bluntly gesturing towards the dark haired girl who got a sudden alarmed face

"Listen you little bi-"Damon started getting in her face

Rayne jumped him and they both hit the floor with a thump. She bared her teeth at him as he did the same. The two looked as if they were only wrestling but at a much higher speed. Then all of the sudden the dark haired one jumped at the sound of a loud snap.

"Rayne!" Tyler yelled

She jumped back having pinned him to a wall and snapped his shoulder.

"Damon…" Stefan growled

"She started it!" Damon protested

Rayne giggled.

"What's so funny?" he snapped

"You're so quick to blame someone else even though it was your own stupidity." She said

Tyler smirked. She wasn't in the slightest afraid of either of them and she certainly did know how to take care of herself. Damon snapped the bones back into place.

"Enough with the pissing contest." Stefan interjected "How are you that strong? You shouldn't be."

"But I am. And what makes you think I'll tell you?" she countered

The two stared at each other for a long period of time.

"Okay we're not getting anywhere here." the girl said

Rayne looked over at her.

"And you are?" Rayne asked

"Elena." she said

Rayne nodded. Elena, she thought to herself. Then she looked at Damon who was scowling at her.

"I'm Rayne." She introduced turning and holding her hand out to Elena "And do not stab me with that or I will be very cranky."

Everyone looked back at Damon who held a kitchen knife in his hand. He looked at everyone and shrugged. Tyler growled under his breath. Rayne on the other hand turned and took the knife from him and threw it across the room. It thudded as it stuck in the wall.

"Well this isn't the best of greetings we've given." Stefan muttered

"No it's not." Rayne agreed flatly "I'm a little curious as to what you want."

"We want to make a deal." Stefan said

"Deals?" she asked

He just nodded. Rayne started laughing hysterically after that.

"More deals, that's exactly what I want." She said sarcastically

"Well we could kill you if that'd be better." Damon suggested

"You could try." She challenged

"Okay enough." Stefan snapped "We wanted to ask that you-"

"You think we'll attack you don't you?"

This time it was Tyler who had been so quiet the whole time.

"What makes you think we'll even come after you?" he added "We have our own lives. We don't need to get dragged into yours. Though if you come after us we will retaliate."

Rayne knew he directed that at Damon. She smirked. He was being protective, she thought to herself. It was cute.

Stefan just nodded.

"What if we need help?" Elena asked

"Don't ask for it." Rayne said "Not from me. I have my own problems."

Tyler agreed.

"Like she said. We don't need to be dragged into your problems." Tyler said stepping up beside her

"Tyler…" Elena tried

Stefan just put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Damon left first.

"Look he's an ass." Stefan started "But it's not him asking, it's me. And if I remember correctly you did shoot me the last time we saw each other."

Rayne looked over at Tyler with raised eyebrows. Tyler remained quiet. Stefan and Elena left.

"You shot him?" she asked laughing "That's a new development."

He chuckled.

"Yeah well I think that's before I got a little perspective and was told that the people I was with would kill Elena."

"Ah. It's always the princess." She said as she left the living room

"Of course. Everyone wants to rescue her." he said "What would a prince do without a princess anyway?"

"Well I'm just saying that this princess doesn't need any rescuing." Rayne said

"Well this prince does." Tyler chuckled

"How unorthodox." Rayne turning and grinning "But I guess I can do that. I also guess I'll have to stick around then."

She winked back at him then left. Oh yeah, he started thinking, she likes me. even more he found himself liking her even though he wasn't so sure he wanted to.
