A/N Thank you all for reviewing the last chapter!

Earlier—Mikaelson Mansion

"Hey, sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker..."

"Hush..."

"Hey, brother, do you still believe in one another? Hey, sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?"

Skylar's blue eyes snapped open at the lyric, and she found herself staring at the closed eyes of Klaus. She bit her lip as she noticed that he was sharing the same pillow as her either because she had shuffled closer during the night or because the other pillow had been knocked off of the bed. Skylar licked her dry lips, wincing as her tongue ran over a deep gash in the middle of her bottom lip.

She let out a moan as a wave of aches of gratification ran throughout her body as turned around onto her back.

She felt satisfied.

Then, the consequences of drinking hit her as a headache attacked at full force. Skylar sat up, the sheet covering her chest as she looked around for her phone.

Clothes were strewn over the large bedroom, but there was no phone in sight.

As the torrid fornication of the night before returned to her, Skylar was sure that the device should've been shattered to pieces. She turned her head when she heard an annoyed moan from beside her and flashed to her feet, wrapping the bed throw around her as she searched for the phone. Klaus' hearing was older than hers, which meant it was better considering he was half wolf.

"Where are you?"She muttered, picking up her clothes as she searched for the device.

And almost slipped on it.

She picked it up, hissing at the cracked screen."Damn it."

Damon calling...

19 missed calls and messages from Steffie.

Skylar stared at the screen, mumbling."Nice to know that, even in the depths of no humanity, he still cares more than Damon."

"Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't-"

Skylar let out a tired sigh as she turned ignored the call, slipping the phone inside of her jeans. Securing the throw around her, she, using her vampire speed, clothed herself less than a few seconds. Skylar looked down to see that her shirt was almost torn, but stopped just below her bra.

She sighed but knew that it could've been worse. Skylar then looked around for her shoes and found them sticking out from underneath the bed. She quietly moved toward the king sized bed, sitting down on the edge of it, leaning down and picking them up.

As Skylar straightened, she gasped as she felt a strong chest behind her.

"Leaving so soon, love?"Klaus crooned into her ear, and her lashes fluttered as lips brushed her ear.

She bit her bottom lip as he chuckled into her ear when he heard her heartbeat race."Did I not entertain you?"

The smugness in his voice told her that he honestly didn't believe what he'd said and, this time, he was right. Klaus had a thousand years of expertise and, from what she'd experienced, the rumors she'd heard about him had been right.

Skylar didn't stop the small smile that appeared on her face when Klaus released a low growl.

"What?"She met his gaze in the mirror across from the bed, arching her eyebrow."Are you not feeling so powerful between the sheets?"

She drew in a sharp breath as blunt, human teeth latched onto her shoulder, something that had happened many times during their tryst.

He had quickly found it had been a weakness for her.

Klaus laughed again as she swallowed a moan.

"The scratches I had on my back a few hours ago proved otherwise, sweetheart, as well as the vocal response."

"You enjoyed yourself."Fingers crawling up her jawline, Klaus' hand cupped on her cheek, turning her head toward him."Admit it."

Back against Klaus' chest, the female vampire met Klaus' gaze.

She smiled softly, following his finger as it brushed down her arm.

"Maybe I did."

It was the truth.

She had felt wanted.

She shouldn't have felt that way in the arms of the man that had tried to destroy those closest to her.

"Then why leave so soon?"

The Salvatore didn't answer verbally.

Instead, Skylar spun around in Klaus' arms, climbing onto his lap as she connected their lips.

Present—Salvatore Boarding House

"Klaus has the coffins thanks to your so-called sister."

"She was dying, Ric, go easy on her."

Damon sent an angry look to the history teacher as he entered the front room.

"That coffin was the only thing stopping Klaus from tearing us to shreds," Alaric responded, hands on his hips as his gaze flickered between Elena and Damon.

"And Rebekah's attack on Elena last night is proof that there isn't any peace between them and us."

The teacher gestured to Elena who had gotten attacked by Rebekah the night before. The blonde had tracked her down the cemetery where she had been visiting her parents' graves and had almost killed her until a call from a family member had put her off.

Elena had suffered a broken wrist and bruises which were still clear on her face. She refused to take any vampire blood just in case the Mikaelson sister returned.

"Then we'll go to Elijah."

Damon frowned, confused as he stared at Elena."What? What good would that do?"

"Elijah is the one they all listen to. Even Klaus."Elena replied, arms crossing over her chest."We could make a deal."

"With what? We have no leverage over them."

She moved from foot to foot before she spoke, worried."Well, we have to do something! Rebekah is going to kill me!"

"Hey! Hey, that's not true."Damon said softly, offering her a full smile that she couldn't help but return."If anyone is going to kill you, it's gonna be Klaus."

Elena didn't verbally respond; she just glared at him.

"I'm just trying to lighten the mood."Damon rolled his eyes but placed a hand on her shoulder."Don't worry; everything is gonna be fine."

Alaric nodded in agreement with Damon, smiling at Elena."He's right, nothing bad is going to happen."

The moment was broken when they heard a chuckle and their eyes turned to Stefan, who was standing in the foyer.

He shut the front door behind him, making his way down the steps."Don't lie to her, Damon. We're all dead if Klaus or his lunatic family says so."

"Stefan!"

Stefan shrugged, no remorse on his face."He's already picking us off one by one."

Damon frowned, confused."What?"

"You haven't noticed?"Stefan asked with a frown; all humor gone from his face.

Damon straightened, blue eyes zeroing in on his brother."All I've noticed is that you've been out all night and leaving the crap to me."

"And you all say that I'm the one who's acting like a dick with no humanity."

Alaric shrugged, retorting."That's because you have."

Stefan ignored the hunter and looked at his brother, both amused and deadly."Sky hasn't been home all night, either and I've spent that whole night looking for her."

Damon's anger fell from his face, and he stepped from Elena."What?"

"Did I stutter?"

"What's the problem?"Elena asked, looking at them both."Skylar's spent a lot of nights out alone."

"Not without calling."Damon and Stefan both said. Stefan narrowed his brow, turning to his brother."If you knew that why haven't you been out doing my work?"

Damon looked at his brother, knowing that he was in the wrong. Even Stefan, who was still reeling from his no humanity phase, knew the signs.

"Because we got into a spat and I just thought she spent her night sulking in her room."Damon hissed at Stefan, grabbing his jacket off of the couch."Let's go."

Stefan followed his brother to the door.

"Where are you two going?"

Damon shrugged on his leather jacket as he turned and replied to Elena."If Skylar hasn't called either me or Stefan, she's in trouble, and that means a certain hybrid dick who tried to kill her less than forty-eight hours ago has something to do with it."

Alaric raised his eyebrows, asking."You're just going to march into a house full of Originals and demand your sister back?"

Damon and Stefan shared a look before nodding.

"Yeah."

The two brothers turned around and started toward the door, but just before Stefan could reach the handle, the door was opened and in walked Skylar.

A very bedraggled looking Skylar.

The Salvatore sister's hair was tied up in a loose ponytail, her shirt was torn, stopping just below her bra and her lips were visibly swollen. The female vampire had her pumps in her hand, and her eyes widened slightly as her gaze zeroed in on her brothers then everyone else.

"Oh."

"Oh?"Damon repeated, crossing his arms over his chest as he and Stefan turned when Skylar made her way further into the boarding house."Is that all you have to say?"

"Ummm," Skylar narrowed her eyes, confused."Oh, no?"

The brothers glowered at their sister, both trying their hardest not to assume what had happened the night before as their gazes trailed over her unkempt appearance.

"I was wrong,"Alaric started, a smirk on his lips before he looked at Damon."She is your sister, after all, Damon."

Their glowers turned to Alaric, who raised his eyebrows in delight.

"Shut up."Damon scowled at Alaric before he turned his attention back to his little sister."Where have you been?"

"I've been out."

"Out where?"

The female vampire pointed out the window."Out there."

Skylar offered her brothers a small smile before she walked around them and started up the staircase.

"Skylar Lily Salvatore!"

She turned around, leaning against the banister, and Damon walked closer to the staircase.

"Where have you been?"

"Not being alone,"Skylar answered, making Damon think back to their conversation the night before when he had chosen Elena over her.

"She needs to be protected; she feels alone."

"And I don't?" She has your attention all the time, as well as Stefan's. I just want to have fun with my brother, like we used to. Stefan's not the same; you're distracted wit her...i'm alone, Damon."

"Now, I'm sure this little family meeting you have going on is about dearest Elena,"Skylar bitterly smiled, gaze glancing at Elena, who looked away."I'll make myself scarce."

"Sky!"

Ignoring Damon's protests, the female vampire turned around and ambled up the stairs.
