The Best Revenge

Revised version #2

AN: In the previous version, there was a Steroline bit but as I have plans for her, it's not going to be Caroline that Stefan's cheating on Elena with

Also-this takes place right after 4x01 (so basically whatever that happened in S4 did not actually happen in this fiction! THERE IS ONLY PLATONIC DELENA & ROMANTIC DAROLINE! There is NO KLAYLEY & KLAYLEY BABY! IT WILL BE KLAUS/OC & KLAUS/OC BABY!

Prologue: Caught red-handed and making plans

Elena-

She was walking into the boardinghouse where she was living to protect her brother from anything she would do to him.

Though Damon had tried telling her repeatedly that he sired her, Elijah had all but forced him to be honest by stabbing him in the neck (something that he had done to him previously) and Damon told her the truth before he left when Elena decided to stay with Stefan.

The last she heard from Damon was that he lived in New York-the city that never sleeps-and owns a bar/restaurant he christened 'Hellfire'. She was surprised that Caroline found her way to New York and decided to give dating Damon a try.

Smiling at how happy he was, she made her way into her room (after telling Stefan that she wanted to take things slow) when she heard noises coming from his room. Peeking her head in, she stumbled back and ran from there with tears stinging her eyes.

Stefan was sleeping with her best friend! He was screwing Bonnie Bennett!

She found her way to the Grill where she sat at the bar and drank.

Rebekah-

Rebekah smiled widely as she walked towards Matt's apartment. She was filled with happiness at the thought of being with someone who loves her for being who she is. She didn't have to pretend to be something she's not and as she entered (as he gave her permission to do so) she set the tote on the table when she smelled some horrid perfume that she recognized as belonging to some vampire she had met back in Prague.

Sneaking towards Matt's room, she pushed it open a bit and put a hand to her mouth.

Matt was with Nadia?

She wanted to shut it off and slaughter everyone in that apartment when she grabbed her tote and flashed away to the Grill where she found Elena drowning in scotch and whiskey.

"Stefan and Bonnie." Were the words that the brunette got out and Rebekah took a bottle of whiskey from behind the bar. Pouring a shot for Elena, she took a swig from the bottle with a little hiccup.

"Matt and Nadia."

Daphne-

Daphne Grey was a werewolf from a very long and prestigious werewolf pack known as the Crescent Clan that were from New Orleans but as her parents were able to run from the massacre that occurred before she was born, they helped her when she had accidentally killed someone when she was ten years old.

She had met Hayley Marshall and Tyler Lockwood who were both friends but Daphne knew better than to believe it.

Somehow, Tyler managed to woo her when his girlfriend Caroline had left him and ran off to New York where her sire Damon was.

Now, as she walked over to where the Lockwood wolves would shift on the full moon, she was curious as to why Tyler had just cancelled their dinner date when she saw why.

Hayley and Tyler.

She should have listened to her gut about them when Tyler was wooing her but she was weak minded and believed that he liked her.

She ran where she found her two best friends-Elena Gilbert and Rebekah Mikaelson-just drinking away their problems.

"I caught Tyler and Hayley." She told them as she sat on Elena's other side.

"Stefan and Bonnie." Elena choked out with tears spilling from her eyes from anger and sadness.

"Matt and Nadia." Rebekah whispered.

It was a few drinks later when a lit Rebekah dropped the empty bottle of whiskey and smiled.

"I wanna get revenge on them!" Daphne's light brown hair shone in the light as she whipped around to stare at him.

"How would we?" Elena hiccupped from the drinks. "How do we do that?"

"We go to the pageant and we make them jealous." The blonde said brightly like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I take Marcel and Daphne takes Nik while Elena goes with Elijah-"

Elena shook her head. "Caroline's coming back for this event and has all but demanded that I go with Stefan come 'hell or high water'."

"Tell her that he's taking witch bitch Bennett." Rebekah told her imperiously. Elena pulled out her phone and texted Caroline.

Stefan is taking Bonnie

She got the reply back that basically said that she can go with whomever she wants and she would have Damon deal with Stefan.

"So I go…with Mr. Hybrid," Daphne ticked off her fingers. "You go with Marcel and Elena finds a way to go with Mr. Noble."

It was the next morning that Elena woke up in a bed that was much more luxurious than the one at her house and at the Salvatores. The Egyptian cotton sheets felt good and the down comforter was nice.

"I hope that you slept well Lovely." She looked over at the doorway where Elijah stood in a button up shirt with the first two buttons undone and a pair of jeans while he was holding two mugs, one in each hand. She had to avert her eyes from him otherwise she'd do something that would embarrass her like jumping him. "I hope you don't mind-you came here pretty lit like your two accomplices who are still asleep."

She nodded and smiled at him lightly. "I did sleep well and I don't mind-not at all Elijah."

He smiled and held out the mug in his left hand for her. She raised an eyebrow at him for handing her a mug filled with coffee until she took her first sip.

"You mix blood with coffee?" she asked, amazed. He nodded.

"I thought it would be better for you." He still smiled and made a motion for her to follow him, which she did and was glad that she was in one of his shirts that seemed to cover her pretty well. "I know that you're staying with Stefan at the Salvatore boardinghouse but if you want, you are more than welcome to stay here if Stefan isn't teaching you properly about your new life."

She blushed as best as a vampire could. "I believe that I would prefer to live here, if you don't mind."

He nodded. "Then the room you have just left would be your own room." He looked at her and let out a small chuckle. "Katerina and Kol would be stopping by later today as they need my help trying to contact a witch with a specific spell that they need."

Elena choked on her drink. "Katherine and Kol? They're together?"

"I believe that the night of the ball my mother threw they decided to get reacquainted with each other and Niklaus was the one who caught them in bed."

"I'm glad that they've got each other." She told him and she was happy that Katherine was getting the two things that she believed was denied of her.

She has her happiness and freedom.

Now, more than ever, Elena knew just why Katherine hated her-she believed that Elena had her happiness.

It wasn't long before both Rebekah and Daphne came downstairs while Elijah made breakfast for everyone though Elena was on her second helping of French toast with powdered sugar, a side of hash browns and a bowl of every single berry that she loved.

The girls ended up leaving Elijah's house that was near Klaus' manor when they decided to put their plan into action.

Soon enough, their exes will know why the saying 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' is quite appropriate.
