Two Days Later—Mikaelson Mansion

"What is this bloody show about?"

"It's called Keeping Up Appearances. It's about a middle-aged woman who's a snobbish cow who tries to hide the fact that her family are less than middle-class and doesn't realise that people hate her. I love her family; Onslow's great."

"It's funny than some of the other rubbish I've seen that's modern but why does she keep saying her name wrong?"Rebekah, who was curled up in the armchair next to her brother with wine in her hand, asked in confusion."It's Bucket."

"It is Bucket, but she pronounces it Bouquet."Skylar turned to the Mikaelson siblings, frowning as Kol stole her popcorn."It's a British show, why don't you know about it?"

"Darling, we've been locked in a box for a century."Kol smiled as Skylar wrenched the popcorn back from him."You seem to forget that."

She tossed some more popcorn into her mouth before nodding."Oh, yeah, I forgot...it's on again!"

She turned up the large TV, humming along to the theme tune as she and Kol began to eat the rest of the popcorn. The Original and the female vampire rested their legs on the coffee table, laughing now and then whenever one of the characters ran back into their houses as the irritating main female character, Hyacinth, appeared.

Then, just like each episode they watched before that, the regular sentence popped up as the answered the telephone.

Kol, Rebekah and Skylar perked up, mimicking her as she greeted."The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house, speaking!"

As the show played, the two held out their glasses, smiling happily when the two young women standing behind them, re-opened their wounds and held their wrists over the glasses, pouring it up halfway. Rebekah rolled her eyes, shaking her head and took a sip of her wine.

Kol hummed in satisfaction as he took a long sip."You can never beat pure blood, love."

She nodded in agreement, smiling as Hyacinth fell into the bush again, a running gag in the show.

"How he hasn't killed the bint I'll never know."Kol said as Hyacinth demanded something of her long-suffering husband again."I would've strangled her with that bloody phone cable."

"It's a sitcom, Kol."

Kol shrugged, swirling his blood around the glass.

"Yes, but it would've been funny."

Just as the episode was getting to the good part, someone walked in, the two vampires not noticing until they stood in front of the TV.

Kol and Skylar let out whines as they blocked their view.

Skylar popped more popcorn into her mouth as she looked up to see a young, redheaded woman wearing one of Kol's shirts. The brunette turned to see that Kol hadn't noticed the woman, he was far too busy trying to steal back the popcorn.

The young woman twirled red hair around her index finger, speaking in a sultry manner as she tried to get Kol's attention."Kol?"

The man in question didn't look up; he just tilted his head to the side to try and see the show.

"Kol,"The young, beautiful, twenty-something woman drawled as she looked down at the wily Mikaelson."Are you coming back to bed? You've been down here for over two hours, and you only came down for some more wine."

The woman pouted when Kol still didn't seem to notice her.

"Kol!"

He sighed, looking up at her, annoyed."Yes?"

"Are you-"

"Can you bloody move?"Rebekah swiped her hand to the left, trying to get her to move without actually touching her."You're blocking the TV!"

She gasped, glaring at Rebekah."Are you saying I'm wide?"

Kol piped up, rolling his eyes."She's saying, darling, that unless you're planning to either make us some more popcorn or drain yourself for us you can sod off!"

She cried out in frustration, stomping her feet, cursing at him before she stormed out of the room and they heard the front door slam.

Skylar turned to him, smiling."Sorry."

"So am I, that was my favourite shirt!"Kol muttered, shaking his head, taking a handful of popcorn.

Skylar looked at Rebekah who just said."He's what you'd call a player."

Skylar bit her lower lip to stop her laughter as Kol tossed one popcorn the air and caught it with his mouth skillfully, chuckling to himself as he did.

She had never in a million years think she'd be sitting on a couch, watching one of her favourite shows with the deadliest of the Mikaelson clan. Kol was infamous for his cold nature and his harsh treatment of those he thought lower than him.

Then there was Rebekah who had been more than nice to her. Well, after the interrogation of what she wanted with her hybrid brother but, after that, the Mikaelson sister had happily welcomed her, telling Skylar that she'd never had a friend which had saddened the younger vampire. Rebekah was known to be vindictive and cruel but that was because she didn't like to be hurt if she put herself out there.

But, here she was, sharing popcorn with two Originals and laughing over the sitcom.

The Salvatore sister crossed her legs, wearing a pyjama set she'd borrowed from Rebekah who was also dressed in a set, as a new episode started.

"I wonder when Klaus is getting back, he's been gone for ages,"Skylar said as the credits came up.

The two younger siblings turned to her at the same time.

"Don't tell me you're randy already?"Kol asked, nodding at the show."Is it because of the show?"

"KOL!"

"What? You've heard them; I'm surprised the bed is still in one piece!"Kol casually stated, pausing the show so that he wouldn't miss any of it."I'm shocked that you can walk straight."

Disgusted, Rebekah swatted at Kol while Skylar rolled her eyes, shaking her head."No, it's because-"

"What are your intentions for my brother?"Rebekah suddenly said, turning around so that she was facing them."Are you in love with him?"

"What?"

"Do you love Nik?"

"You can say no, darling; he is a right bastard sometimes."Kol said, sipping his blood."But only we can say that. He's our bastard."

The two youngest siblings both asked."Do you love him?"

She had asked Elena the same question, but the human would always stumble over her words. Elena would always reply with she didn't know what she felt and it irked her.

Skylar truthfully answered with a shake of her head."No, I don't love him."

"Do you like him?"

"Sometimes," Skylar honestly answered."Most of the time I want him dead, but there are times-"

"Those times being when you are having sex with him."Kol piped up, cutting into her sentence.

The two women turned and glowered at Kol.

Kol rolled his eyes, crossing his ankle as he casually began to speak."What? She's having sex with our brother who just happened to be the bloke who tried to kill her family. She's clearly both looking for some comfort and getting back at her brothers for hurting her. The comfort is the times she likes him, and when they're not rolling around beneath the sheets, she hates him."

Rebekah just stared at Kol, looking like she wanted to hit him.

But, instead of running off in tears or shouting at Kol, Skylar just let out a laugh, saying."Who are you? Dr Phil?"

Rebekah and Kol frowned, turning to stare at the younger vampire."Who?"

"Is he like the rapper Dr Dre?"Kol asked with an interested glance.

The female vampire just rolled her eyes.

"No."

"Do you like us?"Rebekah suddenly asked in a demanding tone, but it was also soft.

Vulnerable.

Rebekah wanted a friend. She wanted to be Skylar's friend.

Kol turned his head toward her also, arching his eyebrows.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't like you."Skylar smiled, making the Original siblings' eyes grow fond."Now, can we stop this heart to heart and get back to the show?"

The two Mikaelson siblings smiled at her, simply nodding before they turned back to the TV.

"Of course you like us, darling, we're fantastic."

Earlier—Salvatore Boarding House

"Sky, call me!"

Stefan swore under his breath as he ended the voicemail, pocketing his phone as he rushed down the staircase of the boarding house. He shrugged on his jacket as he got to the bottom step, rolling back his shoulders.

He was about to walk out the front door when he heard Damon call after him. He turned around to see Damon and Elena sitting on the couch; their mouths inches from one another's. Stefan shook his head, rolling his eyes as he wandered into the front room. Elena sat up straight, tugging on her shirt as she looked up at Stefan.

"Where are you going?"

"To find Sky."

"She still not back?"Damon asked as he got to his feet, worry flickering in his eyes."She always comes back; it's been two days, Stefan."

"I know, and I've been out looking while you've been off in your little world."Stefan nodded toward Damon and Elena with a disapproving look."Feel free to join if you want, Damon, or you can get back to whatever you were doing."

Stefan went to open the front door, but he heard Damon getting to his feet.

"Wait."

The youngest Salvatore turned around to see Damon grabbing his leather jacket. Skylar was never gone for longer than two days at the most. When the two days passed, it meant that something was really bad.

"Wait!"Elena got to her feet, a confused look in her brown eyes."You're going to find her?"

Damon nodded as he pocketed his phone, turning to Stefan.

"Where haven't you checked?"

"The Mikaelson's but she wouldn't go there of her free will."Stefan shook his head, grabbing weapons and pocketing them."That means if all else fails, she has to be there because of one of them."

Damon nodded, also grabbing some stakes and vervain bombs, pocketing them inside of his jacket. Elena stood there, staring at them in utter shock as they ignored her.

"She almost killed Caroline and Matt, Damon."

Damon just shrugged, chuckling."Blondie is a vampire and Matt is...well, Matt."

"B-But-" Elena's eyes widened as she gaped at him."She hurt me, Damon. She's a monster!"

"She's my sister, Elena."Damon said as calmly as he could."She's a pain in the ass, but she's my sister. And if Klaus' teeth have touched her, I have to-"

"Let her go!"

Damon and Stefan froze, dumbfounded as they stared at Elena. It was as if a light bulb went off in their heads as they gazed at Elena who looked both hurt and angry that they weren't listening to her.

"What?"

"If Klaus has bitten her, it's clearly a trap to lure you both!"Elena said, walking over to the brothers."If you go into a house full of Originals, he will kill you as well as killing Skylar. He's doing this to get to me, and you can't let that happen."

She smiled warmly at them, releasing a breathy sigh."I know you love her, but she's not redeemable. If Klaus has got her, it's clearly a trap. You two storming in there is going to get you killed and what about me?"

"You want me to let my baby sister die?"

Elena just looked away.

Stefan just glared in disgust at Elena before he turned and walked to the front door. He resisted the urge to throw one of the vervain bombs as Elena walked over to Damon, reached up and cupped his face in her hands.

"We have to let her go."She whispered to him, stroking his cheek."Okay?"

"Damon?"Stefan called, opening the door."Are you with me?"

He watched out of the corner of his eye as Elena leant up to kiss Damon but he turned his head at the last moment, backing away from the brunette. Elena's fists clenched at her sides as Stefan tossed him the car keys, the two patting each other's shoulders.

Damon moved to walk out the door but paused as Elena called his name.

"Damon? He'll kill you!"

Damon didn't turn around as he simply answered."I can't think of a better way to die."

Stefan smiled to himself as Damon walked out first and the youngest Salvatore turned, the old family saying spilling from his lips."We're family. From womb to tomb."

Present—Mikaelson Mansion

"You were gone all day. Everything all right?"

Shrugging off his coat, Klaus looked down at the female vampire who was sat crossed legged on the couch, eyes on the television as she watched the show she had been watching with the Original siblings. The two were now in their rooms, having left the bottom floor of the mansion when their brothers had finally returned home.

"The meeting with the Council took longer than expected, love," Klaus sighed as he draped his coat over the back of a chair."They don't take well to those they hate ordering them around."

Skylar only nodded, toying with the remote control as her eyes remained on the screen.

"Why?"Klaus fought his grin as he walked around the couch Skylar was sitting on."Did you miss me?"

She turned around to face him when the Original hybrid sat down beside her.

"Don't flatter yourself."

Klaus merely smirked as he his arm stretched across the back of the couch."It seems like you had fun today."

She nodded, turning off the television and turning back to the hybrid.

Skylar's eyes trailed over Klaus' face before she swiftly leant up, lips demanding the Original's with her own.

As soon as her lips touched his, Skylar felt some sense of satisfaction.

The two broke apart a moment later, Klaus' lips curving up into a smug smile as her racing heart echoed in his ears.

"So you did miss me then?"

Skylar just hummed, hand coming up and grabbing Klaus' hand that was behind her over the back of the couch. She shuffled closer to him, his arm wrapping around her when she guided it closer to her.

Her body melted into his as Klaus' hand cupped the back of her head, keeping her close to him as their lips moved over one another's, the Salvatore getting up onto her knees as she prepared to climb into Klaus' lap.

The two kissed hungrily as Klaus grabbed at her thighs, lowering her onto her back. He crawled on top of the female vampire, carrying his weight with each hand on either side of her head as he settled on top of Skylar. He tore his mouth from hears a few seconds later, making her whine in protest, and her eyes opened.

Klaus stared down at her for a long while, eyes searching hers for a reason she couldn't understand.

He blinked a second later as if snapping out of his daze.

Then, a hungry growl ripped from his throat as he leant down, hiding his face in her neck.

Her head tipped back, eyes rolling to the back of her head in pleasure as Klaus began to nuzzle at her neck, moving against her to get closer as he settled in between her legs. Sighs of need fell from her lips as she kept him in between her legs, legs locking around his hips.

The female vampire's hand slipped underneath Klaus' henley, nails scratching at his skin, making him growl in approval.

Klaus' fingers began to itch up her shirt, but before he could, a voice stopped him.

"Sky?!"

The two pulled apart, Skylar's face falling, head turning, eyes landing on the two figures standing at the entrance.

Damon and Stefan.
