Elena had called the Scooby gang over to the boarding house, saying she had something important to tell them.
"What Elena? Ric and I had something important to do today." Said Damon, already bored as Alaric said " No we weren't. We were just going to the grill for a drink later."
"Exactly that's important." Said damon with a smirk, as Stefan rolled his eyes.
"Not the point Damon, go ahead Elena." Said Stefan
"My cousin is moving in with us two days before school starts since her mom died." Said Elena as Jeremy interrupts her excitedly saying, "what!? When!? and why didn't she tell me?" Elena looks at him confused "She didn't text you? She said she was going to text you when she called."
Jeremy checks his phone and without looking up says, "Oh yeah, she did and she says she'll be here by Friday." Finally looking up smiling.
"I don't see how that's a problem." Says Alaric with brows furrowed looking confused as Damon sarcastically says, "yeah I'm not seeing what such a big deal that you had to call this "meeting".
Elena looks at Damon with a glare, annoyed that he wasn't seeing what she was getting at and says " she has no idea that the supernatural exists." As Damon says with a raised brow, "so? We'll be careful. Can I leave now?"
"Actually I was thinking about that, why don't just we tell her? It will keep her safer knowing all the information so she doesn't get hurt, especially with the originals in town." Said Jeremy severely worried about the safety of his cousin and one of the only living relatives left. He doesn't want what happened to Jenna to happen to Annie.
"No, Jeremy you can't be serious! she's to sweet and innocent and besides it's my mess and I'll clean it up. I'm not dragging her into it." Said Elena with a stern look to Jeremy trying to look self righteous when really she just doesn't want her cousin to be the center of attention, even if it gets her killed.
"Yeah cleaning up your mess with the help of us, you're welcome." Jeremy mutters so Elena can't hear and Damon snorts and Alaric lip twitches a small smile, while Stefan gives Jeremy a stern look but otherwise ignores him.
They hear the front door open and shuts and heavy foot steps as Tyler walks in saying, "sorry I'm late, my mom was talking to me about a town meeting. So what's going on?" Jeremy answers him saying, "we were just talking about how our cousin Annie's coming to live with us."
Tyler's jaw drops in surprise. "Annie! Little Annie is coming to stay with you! This is great I haven't seen her since we were twelve. I can't wait to catch up." Said tyler smiling at the thought of getting to see his childhood best friend again, but then frowns as Caroline blurts out in jealousy " her mom died."
Caroline has always been jealous of Annie, even as kids. Annie was naturally beautiful and therefore stood out, even though she hated the attention as she was quiet and also very shy, and for that reason she hated her. I mean come on she already had Rebekah and Elena as competition to be the center of attention, even if she was her best friend, she didn't need Annie as well. Thank goodness she had Tyler and Klaus pining for her attention or she'd throw a fit.
"Way to be blunt blondie." Says Damon as he and Ric were subconsciously rubbing their soul mark when they hear the name Annie but no one noticed except Tyler and Jeremy, who made a plan to get their cousin and childhood best friend to meet her mates, little did they know Damon and Alaric weren't the only soulmate of Annie's in Mystic Falls.
"Sarah died? Oh no, Annie must be devastated." Says Tyler sadly, but at least she'll have her two mates to help her heal, he thinks.
"Well as eye opening as this meeting was we got to be going, and sure we'll be careful or whatever." Said Damon as he's pulling Ric out the door and they go to the grill, leaving everyone with different opinions on Annie coming to town.
