They arrived at the twin's house as it started to turn dark.
Enzo immediately rushed in to claim a room with Davina following.
The twins lead Freya to one of the larger and more private rooms. And Freya immediately claimed it as she began unpacking her few items.
The twins went to check on the others, to find Davina had claimed a room beside Stefan and Enzo chose one near Freya's.
Both were unsurprising choices.
Lizzie went back outside to grab the package she saw laying on their porch. She shook it slightly as she brought it inside.
It didn't make any noise that could allow her to identify it.
Lizzie went to the kitchen and opened the package.
In it were two cheerleading outfits.
These must be from Caroline.
Lizzie spotted a note at the bottom and pulled it out.
Hey, I am leaving your cheerleading outfits outside your house. When you get back, I want you guys to wear them to the game. You guys won't be in this cheerleading performance but I'm putting you guys in the next one, so don't miss out again.
I hope you like the outfits!
Caroline
"What's this, darling?" Kol asked from behind her causing Lizzie to jump in surprise.
"Nothing..." Lizzie replied, under her breath. She shot him a glare and motioned to him to stay quiet.
Not everyone knew he was here.
And the twins, along with Freya, wanted to keep it that way for now.
Kol looked over Lizzie's shoulder and raised his eyebrows at the outfit.
"Oooh, skimpy...is this what women wear nowadays?" Kol wondered, with a smirk.
Lizzie rolled her eyes. "It's a cheerleading outfit." She replied, smacking his hand that was reaching for it.
"And what is this 'cheerleading' thing?" Kol asked, cocking his head adorably.
No!
Stop it, Lizzie!
Focus on his question!
Lizzie thought for a moment on how to reply.
How do you explain cheerleading to someone who had been asleep -still was asleep- for around a century.
"It's a dancing group that cheers on others...it's a school thing." Lizzie tried to explain.
"Hmm." Kol hummed. His eyes were narrowed thoughtfully. "And you wear these very revealing outfits?"
"Yes," Lizzie answered with a nod. She began to take the cheer gear out of the plastic. "What women wear these days, is no longer controlled by guys."
Lizzie folded the cheer outfit, so she and her sister could put it on later.
"Fascinating, darling," Kol said as he looked at the outfit. "And you will be wearing this at a later time?"
Lizzie's eyes flickered to Kol's, which were staring at her hopefully, and nodded.
Kol smirked as his eyes darkened.
"I look forward to it." Kol purred, licking his lips. He was very close to her now.
Lizzie felt her face heat up. She then shook her head, in an attempt to try and push out the not-so-clean thoughts that entered her head.
"Jo!" She called out, as she did her best to ignore Kol, who was staring at her with lust in his eyes.
Lizzie looked over in relief, as her sister entered.
"Yeah, Lizzie?" Josie responded. She looked between Lizzie and Kol. And her eyes widened in surprise as she noticed how close they were.
"Mo-Caroline," Lizzie quickly corrected. Kol paused thoughtfully at the slip-up, and Lizzie could tell he was taking note of it for later. "Left us our cheerleading outfits for the game. She said we won't be in the performance but she still wants us there."
"Ok," Josie replied. She walked over and took the offered clothing. "How'd she know our size?"
Lizzie shrugged. "Who knows."
The others entered the kitchen.
Stefan walked over and leaned against the counter.
"What's going on?" Stefan asked, looking at the girls curiously.
"Caroline left us our cheer stuff, she wants us at the game tonight," Josie answered. She pulled out her phone to check the time. If they didn't want Caroline to kill them, they needed to leave soon.
"You're coming, Stef, and so is Davina." Lizzie decided. Davina looked at Lizzie in surprise.
"Huh?" Davina seemed unsure how she should react.
Lizzie gave her a reassuring look. "It will give us a chance to register you and introduce you to others. Maybe make you some friends before school on Monday." She explained.
Davina nodded.
And Stefan nudged her with his arm, causing her to look up at him.
"I'll be there if there's a problem, don't worry," Stefan promised with a smile. And Davina visibly relaxed.
Lizzie smiled at the interaction.
Then, Lizzie looked over at Enzo, who was rummaging through the fridge.
"Enzo, do you want to come? Damon will probably be lurking around." Lizzie said, knowing Enzo wanted his revenge.
Enzo closed the fridge and looked over at them. "I'd rather surprise him first, angel. Is there an event happening anytime soon that I can crash and give him the shock of his life?" Enzo said, contemplatively.
"The town's founders party is coming up soon. That could possibly work." Josie suggested.
"Very well, beautiful." Enzo agreed. "Now do you guys have any alcohol in this place?"
Stefan, Davina, and the twins laughed in amusement, while Freya just gave Enzo a disapproving look.
"You are aware that you are surrounded by underaged teenagers?" Freya said, tone reprimanding. "Just because there was not an age limit for drinking alcohol back then, there is now, so respect it."
Enzo flashed puppy dog eyes at Freya causing her to roll her eyes.
"There's some in the cellar downstairs." Josie intervened, not wanting Freya to snap Enzo's neck.
"Thanks, beautiful." And with that, he disappeared to get drunk.
Lizzie exchanged an amused look with her twin, before turning back to the others.
"What about you, Freya?" Lizzie asked.
Freya looked at them all. "I think I can trust you all enough to not get into trouble, whereas I cannot trust Enzo here alone. He would probably burn down the house by accident." She answered Lizzie.
"True." Lizzie agreed, with a grin. Then she turned to Josie. "Let's go get changed. Davina, we'll help you pick out an outfit"
The three teenage girls went upstairs, while Stefan and Freya stayed behind.
Stefan glanced at Freya. "You're going to have your hands full with them." He muttered to her.
And Freya sighed in agreement but a tiny bit of the corner of her mouth was quirked up, showing she wasn't upset by it.
Back with the twins, Lizzie was braiding her sister's hair as Josie touched up her makeup. Once Lizzie was done braiding, she intertwined ribbons into Josie's hair.
Josie then helped Lizzie put her hair up in a neat high ponytail with a bow attached to it.
The twins then changed into their cheerleading outfits.
Once they were sure, they were ready they went to Davina's room.
Davina looked up from her dresser, as they entered. Her eyes widened upon seeing them.
"Wow, you guys look hot." Davina complimented.
"We know." The twins said in unison causing Davina to snort.
"Now for you, I was thinking dark jeans with a blue top that brings out your eyes," Lizzie said, as she began going through Davina's stuff.
Josie went over to Davina and looked her over. "We can do that with natural makeup and let's curl your hair."
"Ok?" Davina muttered, slightly overwhelmed.
"Don't worry, you're going to look amazing," Josie reassured. "Besides I'm going to introduce you to a friend of mine, who is in the same grade as you. His name is Jeremy and I think you guys will get along great. Just know he lost his parents in an accident last summer so he's having a hard time but he's a great friend to have."
"Ok," Davina nodded, radiating nervous energy.
Lizzie walked over with a short-sleeved blue shirt and a pair of dark-washed ripped jeans.
"Put these on, while we prepare the makeup and curling iron." Lizzie handed her the clothes and Davina left the room to go get changed.
The twins set everything up as they waited.
When Davina came back, the twins exchanged approving glances.
"Stefan's gonna be in for a shock," Lizzie muttered to Josie, who nodded in agreement.
They then set to doing her makeup and curling her hair.
When they were done they handed her a denim jacket and deemed her ready.
Lizzie and Josie headed downstairs first and met Stefan along with Kol in the living room. Stefan smiled at the twins as they entered.
"You guys look beautiful...although guys will probably be all over you" He was frowning now. Cue overprotective brother mode. "Maybe you guys shouldn't be doing cheerleading…"
Josie rolled her eyes with a smile. "Don't worry, Stef. We can kick the asses of anyone that tries to mess with us."
Stefan nodded, knowing that Josie was right.
Lizzie had been focused on Stefan this entire time, which is why, when she looked to her right and saw Kol staring at her with his mouth hanging open, she had to do a double-take.
"Lizzie? Something wrong?" Stefan asked, looking over to where she was looking. Lizzie blinked in surprise and turned to Stefan.
"Yeah, I'm good. Thought I saw a spider." Lizzie replied. "I really hate spiders."
Stefan nodded in understanding.
And Lizzie looked over at Josie, who was staring at her and Kol in amusement.
The twins looked over, as Davina entered the room, causing Stefan's jaw to drop.
"Whoa." He whispered, and Davina blushed bright red.
"Awe." Josie cooed.
"Hey, Steffy-bear, why don't you take V ahead of us, we might be a few minutes," Lizzie suggested, with a mischievous smirk. And Josie had to cover her mouth in order to keep down her laughter.
"Uh, yeah. I can do that." Stefan nodded and grabbed one of the sets of keys and led Davina out.
The second they were out the door, the twins burst out laughing.
"God, they're adorable," Lizzie said.
"Agreed," Josie nodded. Then she looked between Lizzie and Kol. "I'm gonna go make sure we have everything. I'll be right back."
Josie left, leaving Lizzie alone with Kol, who was staring at Lizzie lustfully.
"Can you stop?" Lizzie asked Kol, borderline begging.
Kol prowled towards her, causing Lizzie to back up.
Kol backed her up until her back hit the back of the couch.
"Stop what, little siphon?" He asked, voice husky.
"You know what," Lizzie replied meekly. She could feel heat pooling in her stomach.
Kol smirked, showing off his dimples. "I don't think I do…" He purred.
He put his arms on either side of her, trapping her against the couch.
Lizzie!
Focus!
He's just an older and sexier version of Sebastian.
"You do realize my sister is going to come back at any moment," Lizzie said, slightly breathless.
Kol leaned forward until his breath was brushing against her lips. "What makes you think I care?"
Lizzie swallowed, as Kol ran a finger along her bare shoulder, causing a shiver to go down her spine.
Kol gently bumps his nose against hers, as he stared intently into her eyes. Then he pulled back slightly, as his eyes flickered down to her lips.
Lizzie's eyes widened in realization and she turned her head to the side as he tried to kiss her. His lips landed on her cheek and he pulled back in surprise.
Lizzie smirked victoriously and pushed him away.
"Nice try, but that's not happening," Lizzie said, and began to walk past him.
Kol grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. "Why not, darling?" he asked, voice serious for once.
Lizzie met his eyes. "Because you're not a relationship guy and I am not getting my heart broken again." She replied, softly.
Kol's eyes widened in surprise.
Lizzie then pulled her arm out of his grasp and walked away to find her sister.
As she left the living room, she saw Josie waiting by the front door. Josie was looking at her in understanding.
Then, Josie smiled and held out a hand.
Lizzie walked forward and took it, as the two left the house.
