It's been a few days. I've been mourning Papa's death. I even convinced the cemetery to put up a headstone for Mikael Erikson. Erik was a popular name in Scandinavia. I still had Rebekah's body lying on her bedroom floor. I wanted to remove the dagger. I just wanted to make sure she wouldn't kill Elena. I don't know if Klaus released Finn and Elijah and that other brother whose name I don't remember.

I've been in my house for the past few days and I decided that it was probably time to go out. I needed to be fit for the next football game, so I begin to run, coming across Elena on my way. I guess it would be good to run together.

"So are you okay?" Elena asked.

"Where did you learn to run so fast?" I responded. I was having a hard time keeping up. I guess that she was already halfway through her route. She hunched over to take a breath. It was then that I noticed a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt was running toward us. Something didn't seem right about him. I don't know if I could use magic in public. "I think we should probably start running again."

As we ran, I noticed that the man seemed to be following us. I think he's one of Klaus's pets. I still couldn't kill him in public. Eventually, we seemed to lose him. Elena stepped forward only for him to be right in front of us. I looked around, noticing three children and an old man. I couldn't erase the memories of children, so I had to keep him alive.

"Excuse me." He replied. "I should have been watching where I was going."

"Don't worry about it." Elena told him after she took some deep breaths.

"You have a nice day." He said.

"Do you know where your brother is?" I asked.

"He's probably at work." Elena replied.

Not much later, I was at the Mystic Grill with Elena and Bonnie. I wore a black and white dress. I didn't see Jeremy nor did I have any idea where Caroline was.

"I feel like I'm losing my mind." Elena remarked.

"You have the right to be. Klaus is still out there and knows you tried to kill him." Bonnie remarked.

"So why hasn't he retaliated?" I asked.

"I think his revenge is trying to drive my insane by thinking he'll strike." Elena opined.

"Well I keep having nightmares about him and four coffins." Bonnie explained. "Wait you had four siblings."

"Henrik shouldn't be in one of them." I responded.

"Have you heard from Stefan?" Bonnie asked Elena.

"He betrayed us, Bonnie." Elena pointed out. "It's sad that Klaus's sister was more loyal to us, no offense. The Stefan we know is gone."

"How's Damon handling it?" Bonnie inquired.

"Why don't you ask him?" I suggested, pointing to Damon and Alaric at the bar.

I decided to listen in on their conversation and apparently Jeremy plagiarized a paper and had been sacked as well. That only led me to question where Jeremy was further. I was pretty sure Anna was with Matt, so unless Jeremy was also with them, she wasn't with him.

"Did you know that your brother was fired and is cheating on his homework?" I asked Elena.

That led to Elena calling him and two of us talking to Damon while he was throwing darts. I was glad to finally have some vodka somewhere else but home.

"I'm really worried about Jeremy." Elena remarked.

"Why, because he lost his job at the Grill?" Damon asked.

"He's been spiraling ever since Bonnie broke up with him." Elena explained. He has? I haven't noticed any spiraling.

"That's typical teenage behavior." Damon opined.

"Maybe I can talk to him." I suggested.

"I don't know if I'm comfortable with that." Elena replied.

"Why don't you want me to date your brother?" I flat-out asked her. "I'm not a bad person just because I don't like to play by the rules."

"Maybe I should leave you two to talk this amongst yourselves." Damon stated.

"Are you alright?" I asked Damon.

"What makes you think I'm not alright?" He challenged.

"Because you brother betrayed you." Elena declared. "I know it's the not the same as Dani losing her father, but I know how I would feel if Jeremy betrayed me and you're drunk. It's not your most attractive look."

"Are you saying that I have attractive looks?" Damon asked.

At that point, I took Elena to the bathroom.

"So did you only kiss Rebekah to manipulate her?" I asked.

"Yes." She declared quickly. She sounded almost too sure about it and I think she might have been lying. We went out to find Damon talking to Klaus.

"There's my sister." He greeted me as I glared at him with contempt. "Now I just need to find my other one and the rest of my family."

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I just came by my local pub with a mate to grab a drink." Klaus replied as we noticed the running bloke. He was one of Klaus's pets. "Get a round, would you Tony? You know I've grown to rather your little town. I'm thinking I might fancy a home here."

"You can't come in mine." I declared adamantly as I crossed my arms under my chest.

"Then I'll build my own." Klaus responded before he looked at Damon and Elena "You two may also wonder how this affects you and it won't in the slightest if I get my family back."

"How did you lose our family?" I asked in annoyance.

"I didn't lose them. Stefan stole them." He rebutted before he threw a dart straight at the bullseye.

"That sounds like a Klaus and Stefan problem." Elena remarked.

"Well this is me broadening the scopes, Sweetheart." Klaus said, getting in her face.

That night, I went over to dinner with Elena because I didn't feel like cooking for myself.

"So what are we going to do?" Alaric asked.

"Hybrids and Originals I can deal with it, but I'm not sure what to do about my rebellious brother." Elena told him.

"It's proof you're still human." The teacher declared.

At that point, Jeremy walked in. I walked over to him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me.

"I'm staying for dinner." I stated,

"You should too." Elena added.

"I'm just passing through." Jeremy replied as he opened the refrigerator.

"I was hoping we could have dinner like an atypical family." Alaric said.

"Why?" Jeremy asked.

"Maybe because you got fired and didn't tell anyone." Elena remarked.

"Can we do this later? I made plans with Tyler." Jeremy requested.

"Since when have you been spending time with him?" I asked. I didn't know that they were friends.

"Does it matter?" Jeremy responded.

"Yes, it matters. He's sired by Klaus." Elena reminded him.

"He can hear you. He's right outside." Jeremy pointed out. "I'm out of here."

"No, you're not going anywhere with Tyler." Elena declared. Alaric seemed to agree with her. He probably was bad company. At that point, Jeremy invited Tyler into the house.

The next few minutes were incredibly awkward. Elena and Tyler were arguing. I wished that I could take Jeremy up to his room, but I don't think he was interested.

Jeremy's phone then rang. All of a sudden, he went outside…without his ring. I followed him outside before I noticed that he was standing in the middle of the road. I then noticed a speeding vehicle coming toward him. Alaric ran and pushed him out of the way, getting hit instead. Tony was driving. I was really started to not like him. In fact I figured it was time to end him. I began casting the spell and the car began to burn.

"Dani, you can't start a fire." Elena told me. "The car will explode."

I realized that she had a point and had to put out the fire. He then drove away.

"What just happened?" Jeremy asked in confusion.

"Who was on the phone?" I responded as I went to see if he was okay.

"It was Klaus." Jeremy replied. I definitely needed to have a word with my brother now. I would probably need to find out where he was though. I first helped the Gilberts move their guardian's body inside. Elena called Damon to come over.

I took Jeremy's phone to see if I could reach Klaus.

"Why are you calling me back?" My brother asked.

"I'm not." I replied. "But you've found a way to make me hate you more."

"You don't need to have such hard feelings, Sis." He told me.

"You're not my brother." I declared. "You're just an arse that I happen to be related to."

"I just want to know where our family is." Klaus responded. "It seems that this lot responds best to displays of violence, so that's what I did. If I get them back, there won't be any more demonstrations."

"How about a deal?" I suggested. "I do happen to know where Rebekah is. She's lying on her bedroom floor with a dagger in her that I have yet to take out. You haven't been invited in, so you cannot remove it. I'll make sure she's returned to you."

"What do you want?" He responded.

"I want you to give me your word that there will not be any more attacks on Jeremy." I proposed. "If you want to make the deal, come over to my house tonight."

I then noticed that Jeremy and Elena were fighting.

"So I think I've figured out how to get Klaus to stop going after you." I remarked. "I've offered him a deal that involves your protection."

"I think we should just pack our bags and leave." Jeremy suggested before he went upstairs. I went up after him.

"You know there's no indication that Klaus wouldn't send someone after you wherever you go." I suggested.

"Why are you doing this for me?" He asked.

"Because you've been there for me when I needed you. This is me returning the favor." I told him as I put my hand on his shoulder. "I'd do anything for you, Jeremy."

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"This." I replied before I kissed him. He actually kissed me back. We even began to snog a little.

"Jeremy…" Elena said as she entered. "Sorry."

At that point, the two of us disconnected our faces. I was upset that Elena had gotten in the way of our nookie.

"Ric's up." Elena declared. I guess that was important. We went downstairs and the first thing that was noticed was Alaric sneezing. Only he didn't sneeze a bogey. He had sneezed up blood. He seemed to still be injured.

"I can't do a healing unless I know what I'm healing." I remarked.

"Call an ambulance." Elena instructed Jeremy.

The paramedics arrived saying he had internal bleeding, but not where he was bleeding from. Tony then came and interrupted. He couldn't get in the house. I decided to cast the spell to knock him out since fire wasn't an option.

"Anyone know how to kill one of these things?" I asked.

"You need to rip out his heart or cut off his head." Jeremy told me. "Do you have a spell for that?"

"No, but you can get me a knife." I declared. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and handed it to me. It wasn't exactly a normal blade, but it would do. I swung it and beheaded him. From there, they took Alaric to the hospital. "I'm going to see my brother. Jeremy, you're not going anywhere."

I went home to find Klaus was on my doorstep.

"You said to meet you here." He reminded me.

"I was busy dealing with your hybrid." I replied. "I'm not inviting you inside. I will bring Rebekah out as soon as you give me your word."

"Why haven't you released her?" My brother inquired.

"Because I need to be sure that she won't kill Elena for daggering her first." I responded. "You know she knows what you did to our mother. It's why she was willing to help Papa kill you."

"Give her to me." He ordered.

"Give me your word." I challenged.

"Fine, you have my word." He agreed. "I won't harm Jeremy, but that doesn't mean that I won't go after anyone else."

"I don't care about them." I responded. "You can't kill Elena because you need her to make hybrids."

I then went inside and grabbed my sister and dragged her to the front.

After that I called Elena.

"Klaus accepted the deal." I replied. "He said that he won't hurt Jeremy."

"I think I'm going to have Damon compel Jeremy to leave town." Elena replied. I was not going to let that happen.

"You'd better not." I responded.

"It's not safe him for him here. He shouldn't have to go through this." Elena argued.

"Elena if you do this, I will kill Damon." I countered. "I have waited to finally find love and I am not letting you take Jeremy away from me."

So, Jeremy is not going to Denver and he and Dani finally kissed. She also killed Tony without using magic. Also I've decided that Elena will be with Rebekah eventually. Please don't forget to review.
