"So, you just got a new car and didn't tell anybody? Where d'you get the money for a Lexus?" Lucy questions as she and Aunt Lucida walk into the kitchen.

Bonnie snickers as I awkwardly trade glances with Caroline and Kol. It wasn't like I advertised my business all over the place. I didn't think anyone would pay attention to the fact that I got a new car.

"And where d'you get those new clothes and purse, Bon? I know Chanel and Birkin when I see it."

"Damn, you're nosey as hell, Lucy. Maybe we have a sugar daddy! You don't know." Bonnie huffs, getting up and placing her bowl in the sink.

Lucy laughs, shaking her head, "Girl Mason Lockwood can't afford none of that stuff you're wearing. You and Ororo out here charging people for services, aren't you?"

"I don't blame them. Don't let these vampires use you; you do them a favor one time, and they think it's free for all. By the way, you've got a stalker of your own, Lucy. Katherine Pierce was snooping around earlier looking for you." Aunt Lucida says as she goes over to the fridge, patting Caroline on the shoulder with a smile.

"Oh my god, don't tell me you and Katherine were…" Bonnie trails off as my face lights up. That's right, Lucy and Katherine knew each other in canon. Lucy was Katherine's witch for a while because she "saved" her life. I wonder if they were like that now?

"We had sex once, and now she's stalking my family." Lucy sighs, taking a seat on the counter. "Can your ghost boyfriend get rid of her for me? Torture her from the spirit world or something?"

Kol shakes his head; "Katherine Pierce is not worth my time. As long as she stays away from Ororo and Caroline, I could care less."

"Well, thanks for nothing, Mikaelson." Lucy rolls her eyes at Kol, turning my way. "He's worthless."

"Just because I won't help you make Katherine's life a living hell doesn't mean I'm worthless. Don't sleep with she-devils like her, and you wouldn't have to worry about being stalked."

Lucy makes a face, "If it weren't for the fact that my little cousin was getting your body back, you wouldn't be up her ass twenty-four seven. We all know as soon as you get your body back, you'll leave her high and dry. That's all you freaks of nature are good for."

Oh my god, what the fuck was Lucy's problem?! I thought she was cool with Kol? With vampires in general?

"Lucy, that's enough." Aunt Lucida shakes her head, scowling at Lucy.

"What? Why are all of you glaring at me? I'm right! No offense, Caroline, but the Mikaelsons are the worst to be around. Every witch they've had around them ends up dead! I don't want that to happen to my family! He isn't any good, and if he's around, then the others are going to pop up!"

How did Lucy know so much about the Mikaelsons? Kol was daggered in 1914, Rebekah daggered in the 20s, Elijah and Klaus were gods know where. Did she know those two personally?

"I think you need to tone it down, Lucy. I get that you're worried but don't speak on things you don't know or understand." Bonnie states as Caroline places a hand over my mouth.

"No, Ororo. Let Bonnie handle this because you'll say something you'll end up regretting."

Well, Lucy shouldn't speak on other people's business. She knew nothing about Kol and my relationship. She didn't know about Bonnie and Finn either. It's not our fault she has a shitty relationship with vampires. I could tell her words easily affected Kol as his eyes were downcasted, and he moved away from my outstretched hand.

Goddamnit Lucy!

"You should go before you get your feelings hurt, Lucy."

She hops off the counter, storming out of the kitchen.

"She has issues."

"So, when were you going to tell me you became a vampire?"

Caroline, Bonnie, and I were hanging out at the Grill when Elena stormed up to our table. Caroline ignored her, continuing to drink her milkshake. Bonnie and I exchanged looks as Elena stood at the end of the booth looking stupid.

"I'm not obligated to tell you anything. You barely talk to me, Elena."

Elena opens her mouth but closes it when nothing comes out. Caroline raises an eyebrow, "What? Nothing to say?"

"It would only be right for you to tell me! You're a completely different species now! What if you attacked me? Or someone close to us?"

Elena was hilarious.

"You think Ororo or Bonnie would allow that? Even if I slipped up, you aren't worth tasting. And don't you think you should've told me about vampires when you first found out? Wait, who was that told me? Ororo! She's the only one that tells me anything that's going on in this godforsaken town! If it weren't for her, I most likely would've been your boy toy Damon's fucking snack by now."

Elena looks at Bonnie for help. "Nope, don't look at me. You've brought this on yourself." Bonnie shakes her head, motioning for Caroline to carry on.

"I-it wasn't for me to tell! Stefan asked me to keep quiet, and you are known to…" Elena trails off.

"What? Known to gossip? That shouldn't matter if I'm your so-called "best friend" Elena. You haven't talked to me in weeks. Never one on one, you've always got Barnabas or his dick-riding brother by your side. It's like you've forgotten Bon and I exist! You can't blame us for not telling you things when you aren't even around. You're a shitty friend, and if you want this friendship to continue, you need to get your shit together, Elena. You didn't even visit me in the hospital. Everyone, even my mom, found time to see me, but you can't?"

Elena stands in silence, a lost and hurt expression on her face. Damn, Caroline did kind of go off on her, but she well deserves it. Elena has been a shitty friend to my girls. I get it, she's in love and got a bunch of drama going on, but it isn't hard to send a text or a phone call here and there. She does neither.

Caroline and Bonnie stare Elena down as she fidgets in place. "I'm sorry I haven't been a good friend. Do you think I could get another chance? I'll do better, I promise!"

I roll my eyes; yeah, right. That girl is lying through her teeth, but whatever. I know Caroline and Bonnie were going to fall for it.

"Sit down, Gilbert, and tell us the latest drama with Barnabas, Katerina, and John the Cunt." She looks at me in surprise before quickly sliding into the booth beside Bonnie.

"Miss. Bennett, lovely to see you here." Elijah greets as he takes a seat beside me on the bench.

"So, you're just going to pretend you haven't been stalking me the past three hours," I say, opening my eyes, looking over at him.

"My brother has agreed to your terms."

Holy shit, I did not expect that. I wonder what Elijah told him to get him to agree? Did Klaus throw a tantrum?

"Really? Just like that?"

Elijah scoffs, "Of course not. My brother is never easy to deal with, but we agreed. He heard moonstone, and his first instinct was to come here and slaughter you and your family and take it. I convinced him it was unwise, and it's guaranteed that you are the only one who knows where it is. Without you, it is useless."

I expected nothing less from Klaus. He was always an act now; suffer the consequences, later guy. He would have Elena, but without the moonstone, everything is useless.

"Well, I'm glad you convinced him otherwise. When will he arrive?"

"In his fashionable way, of course. Unexpected and with a bang. I would keep an eye out for him if I were you."

I'm sure Kol and Finn have that covered, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out. Hopefully, he isn't an unbearable handful.

My phone vibrates, and I check it.

Elena's evil twin is here and threatened me. We've got some planning to do ASAP. - Caroline

"Tell me, Elijah, would you fancy meeting a blast from the past?"

He raises an eyebrow. "Why do I have a feeling I won't like this?"

"Oh, you'll love it when you see the look on her face. Join me?" I hold out a hand, standing. Elijah takes my hand as he stands as well.

"Well, lead the way, Miss. Bennett."

"You know, you can call me Ororo at this point. I feel like you, and I are going to be best friends."
