Revenge.

At 3:47 am, Alex found herself pounding at the Boarding's house door, impatiently waiting for someone to greet her. She fidgeted in her spot, unable to stay put. Her veins were pumping with anger. Alex was furious, she hated that Caroline got caught in the middle of vampire affairs and didn't have a say in becoming a vampire, again. It was supposed to be different this time around!

'It seems that all the roads lead to Rome after all.'

Alex was about to knock again when the door flew open and a grumpy looking Zach stood on the other side, dressed in pyjamas. She still tended to forget he also lived here since she rarely saw him around on the few occasions she came to visit Stefan.

He squinted at her, "Alexandra?" He asked, shocked, glancing around, lowering his voice, "What are you doing here at this hour? Are you okay?"

Alex felt a little bad for waking him up, but this was an emergency, "Sorry to show up at this hour unannounced but I need to talk to Stefan. It's urgent." She added the last part when she noticed his reluctance to let her in.

He sighed heavily, stepping aside to let her in, his mind racing at her tone, fearing the worst, "Is it something that Damon did?" He asked wearily, when she walked past him.

"Surprisingly, no." Alex said, tempted to tell him the truth but refrained from doing so since he was a member of a vampire killing society along with Caroline's mom, she had no doubt he wouldn't hesitate to tell Liz what was happening with her daughter to deal with it themselves. This time around, Alex would make sure Caroline wouldn't be put through that.

Zach excused himself to go fetch his uncle, leaving Alex alone to wander into the living room. She sat on the couch, tapping her foot anxiously on the carpeted floor. She couldn't believe what just happened. It was all going too well to last.

After what happened with her father and now this, Alex was convinced this was the universe's way to tell her that not everything was going to work her way.

She had trouble naming what she was feeling right now besides anger. Alex couldn't think about the dead girl in her car without feeling the need to strangle someone. Her poor Care-bear, she was probably scared when she woke up after turning. Caroline had probably gone to the Gilbert household to ask for help-

'Stop!' Alex bit her lip, shaking her head to get rid of those thoughts. Thinking about Caroline, lost and confused, trying to understand what was happening to her, brought Alex immense despair. She felt powerless. Alex knew she was unfairly punishing herself with these thoughts but she couldn't help herself.

It seemed the universe or whatever force was tampering with her life always found a way to remind Alex that parts of the original plot would happen no matter what or how hard she tried to stop it. Thinking about that, and what else she wouldn't be able to change stressed her to no end. Alex was positive she wouldn't be sleeping much tonight. She needed to rethink her plan and methods to keep casualties like this at minimum.

The stairs creaked and Alex's head jerked towards it.

Stefan frowned at her, pausing on his step as she relaxed, "Alex? I thought you were heading home?" He said, coming to her side, not liking the expression in her face.

She glanced around to make sure they were truly alone before speaking in a hushed tone for extra safety, "...Something happened with Caroline."

He tilted his head to the side, recalling the bubbly blonde he met not long ago, "Caroline? Is she okay?"

"She was turned." She blurted out in the same low tone. Alex definitely wasn't the most tactful when delivering delicate news like these. "She's a vampire now."

Baffled, Stefan questioned her, "When?" He said, before growling, thinking the worst, "Who-"

"Not Damon." Alex interrupted him and his posture relaxed, relieved to know his brother had nothing to do with it, "Elena said there was a creepy guy at The Grill staring at her. My best bet is that he was a vampire that knew Katherine and mistook my sister for her."

"But why would he turn Caroline?"

"She called him out on his creepiness and got him kicked out. Probably didn't like that much and did it out of revenge?" Alex suggested.

Stefan nodded, he didn't have a better theory himself so he agreed with Alex. This wouldn't be the first nor the last time a vampire turned someone out of a whim, "Is your sister okay?" He asked at last, remembering what she had said about Katherine. As long as that guy was around, Elena wasn't safe.

"She's fine, just a little shaken." She rubbed her temples, a touch of magic coated her finger tips to get rid of the growing ache. She could just take the Gilbert compass and go for a hunt and get this over with tonight. But there were six- (seven, counting Caroline) vampires in Mystics Falls, (besides the ones that she has yet to encounter) she doubted how reliable the compass would be in this situation.

"Bonnie?" He asked about the girl's well-being, getting Alex out of her musing.

"I don't know about her. I told Elena to check on her before I left. I don't even know why I came here. Care can't stay with you since Zach's here." She answered as someone knocked on the door and Stefan went to get it, "Maybe I could ask Pearl to take her in?" She thought aloud, biting her thumb before sighing heavily and following after him.

"Anna?" Stefan asked, stepping out as Alex did the same before he closed it to have more privacy.

"Hey," she gave a tight lip smile, turning to Alex, "Your sister told me what happened. I'm sorry, this is my fault." She apologised.

Alex's brows knitted together, "Your fault?... How?"

"Noah," she spat the name bitterly, confirming Alex's suspicions, "This was his doing, I'm sure of it. He showed up two days ago to ask me when we were opening the tombs. I told him to get lost and he wasn't too happy about that." She explained, guiltily, "He must've seen your sister around town and decided to stay to torment her since she looks like Katherine and all."

Alex was going to kill him herself. What was another name added to her growing list of kills?-

'Damn, that's dark. Chill out, Alex. What happened to the whole killing makes me feel bad thing?'

"Who's Noah?" Stefan asked, seeing as he was the only one out of the loop.

"Some guy I recruited to help me open the tombs a while ago. I ditched him when Alex contacted me last year and never spoke to him again until two days ago." She said, "I'm sorry. I should've let you know to warn you. I just, I thought he'll leave after knowing Katherine wasn't even down there."

At the mention of Katherine, the door opened behind them and Damon grinned at them, "What's this? A secret supernatural meeting? and I wasn't invited?" He said before frowning at them, "Why so grim? Did someone die?"

"Yes, my friend did." Alex said bluntly, getting his attention. Yup, she was definitely tactless. "She's a vampire now though. Could be worse." She added with a shrug.

He whistled, "Well, shit. You're having a rough night aren't ya?" He said, putting a hand on top of her head as Stefan gave him a look.

"That'll be the understatement of the year." Alex said drily.

He lifted his hand, "Where is she?" He wondered, looking around, "You didn't let her on the loose, did you?"

"Nope. She's in my car stuffed in the back like a sack of potatoes. I snapped her neck and drove here."

"It would be best if you left now. We can take care of it." Anna told her, putting a hand on her shoulder for reassurance, "She's going to wake up soon and we can't have you near her. Newbies have a hard time controlling their instincts. Don't give Caroline another reason to felt guilty." She said gently, guiding her to her car.

"She can't stay here." She said, "Could she?..."

"She can stay with us." Anna offered, "My mom wouldn't mind having her around."

"We'll help her with this. Leave it to us." Stefan said.

Alex nodded as a weight lifted from her, she was relieved and grateful to hear that Caroline would have all the support she would need to become the badass vampire she was destined to be. 'She'll be okay. Everything will be okay.'

Her hand gripped the handle before she turned to address them as a sudden thought struck her, "Before I leave, I would like to share an idea I just got."

"Oh, this is about to get interesting." Damon said, grinning.

(...)

The Marcus. P Stewart park was deserted at this hour. It wasn't particularly late, night had fallen an hour or so ago but most of Mystics Falls population were at the town square celebrating and waiting for the comet to pass again after a hundred years of its last sighting.

Elena sat on a bench, tugging her jacket closer to her body to mitigate the chill of the night that seemed to cling to her very bones. The park was silent around her, devoid of the usual laughter that filled it most days, adding to the already creepy aura around her. It didn't help either that she was sitting in the darkest corner she could find. She felt like she was about to star on a horror film. She could only hope that she turned out to be the lucky girl that manages to survive till the end after killing the bad guy.

The bench moved and dipped as someone took a seat next to her. Their heavy breathing disrupted the peaceful silence from before. They were doing it on purpose, letting her know that she was no longer alone. Elena looked at them through the corner of her eyes, confirming that it was the vampire that's had been stalking her since that day at The Mystic Grill. He had been subtle at first, popping up through her peripheral vision and disappearing before she could get a good look at him. Then he grew bold, following her around from a distance before he was openly staring at her. Whenever she went he followed.

He lifted a hand to move her hair away from her face and his smirk widened, "You look so much like her," he muttered under his breath as if he couldn't believe his luck.

She jumped to her feet, back squared defensively, "Don't touch me." She hissed.

Noah was delighted with her reaction, "You sound just like her too, especially when you try to act brave like that." He vanished before appearing in front of her, "It's cute." He smiled, tracing a finger across her clenched jaw, "I'm going to have so much fun playing with you."

As he spoke, Elena reached to her pocket, pulling out the vervain spray her mother had given her a while ago. She moved quickly, wasting no time to run as he held his face, crying out in pain, blindly trying to catch her.

She didn't have much time to reach the meeting point, so she mustered all of her strength to run as fast as she could, hearing Noah calling out for her to stop.

'Not happening, creep.'

The greenery grew dense around her as she neared the abandoned area of the park, the one that collided with the wild woods and her salvation. Soon, the ground went from hard and steady cement to the uneven surface of the forest ground.

She navigated in the darkness with expertise, glad to have memorised her way around before all of this. Branches and leaves caressed and scratched her face as she kept on running, pushing aside the pain.

A few feet before she reached her destination, she was pulled back by the collar of her jacket, coming face to face with a pissed vampire. He slammed her on the ground, sticks and rocks digging in her back painfully as he circled his hands around her neck. She gasped for air out of reflex but her arms remained on her side, subtly pulling out her secret weapon.

"I'm going to kill you!" He spat, trying to crush her windpipe. He straddled her body, using his legs to cage her in place, relishing at the image before him. Many times he had dreamed of this moment when he finally got the chance to make Katherine pay, it was not exactly as he picture it, but it was good enough to satiate him ever so slightly, at least until he could finally get his hands on the real one. He increased the pressure around her neck, feeling how her throat closed around his fingers before he eased his hold, mindful of not ending his fun too soon before he could actually enjoy it. He finally looked at her face, hoping to see her pretty face marred with fear and a streak of fat tears running down her face, but instead, he was met with something that put him off. She was smiling at him, a bright wide smile that put him on alert.

Elena smirked before she jammed the pencil she hid in her sleeve onto his heart, pushing him off her with all of her strength.

He wheezed in surprise and pain, face starting to turn grey as he plucked the pencil out, breathless, he frantically looked for her but she was already up and away from him, waving mockingly.

She smirked at him and it was then that Noah realised his mistake as his body was frozen in place with magic. He wasn't following Katherine's doppelganger. But in that moment, she resembled the cunning vampire the most.

Alex keep her smirk in place during the whole thing even as Damon appeared from behind him and staked him with ease, piercing his flesh as if it were butter. Noah gasped in disbelief and Alex released her hold, letting him fall to his knees, black veins spreading all over his face as his skin turned grey. The vampire gave her a quick once over before nodding at her as he let Noah's body fall to the side unceremoniously. His pale eyes seemed to glow in the dark as the moonlight reflected on them, highlighting the wild look on his face, reminding Alex as to why she had insisted on having him here instead of his younger brother. He needed this as a way to release his pent up emotions regarding Katherine.

The woods ruffled around them as part of the police department led by Sheriff Forbes came out of the trees, weapons drawn and ready to shoot. They had been stationed nearby supervising the situation from a distance, ready to intervene if their plan failed, hence why Alex had to be discreet with her magic usage as to not expose herself and her little act.

Liz took in the scene for a long moment before she signalled her men to lower their guns with a wave of her hand, "It's clear." She said, swallowing, before she turned to Alex, "Elena, are you okay? He didn't hurt you, did he?" She asked, inspecting her face and body with a worried look.

Alex gave her a small smile, copying Elena's 'I'm fine, don't worry about me,' expression to perfection, "I think the sticks I fell on did more damage than him." She joked lightly, earning a small smile from the woman.

"I'm glad to hear that," Liz said, resting a hand on her shoulder, "But please, refrain from putting yourself in danger like this ever again. Your father wouldn't forgive me if I let a vampire hurt you."

"I'll be more careful from now on, Sheriff." Alex said as the woman squeezed her arm before she went over to stand by Damon, probably to thank him for his efforts and welcome him to the council.

What they had done was not an easy feat to achieve, it had taken a long conversation with Sheriff Forbes to convince the woman of using Elena as bait to lure the vampire terrorising their lovely town into a trap. She only agreed after Elena told the woman she was being stalked by the vampire every time she left her house and begrudgingly, the Sheriff had agreed to her plan, giving a quick 'Vampire 101' and advising her to start consuming Vervain as she tried to devise a plan to kill him.

That's when Damon came in.

Of course, Alex wasn't careless enough to endanger her sister like this and she was also very conscious of the fact that she was breaking one of her precious rules (don't put yourself in unnecessary danger,) but seeing as the other choice was to use the real Elena... she decided to break her rules just this one time, so after another long conversation, this time with Elena to let her know of her plan as it didn't feel right to her to steal her sister's identity without her knowing, so Alex had stepped up, using her magic and her sister's blood and a lock of hair to cast an illusion around her, transforming herself into Elena's twin. Alex had practised her act with her family, pretending to be her younger sister just the day before to make sure she could actually do this. No one had noticed it or pointed out any strange behaviour so Alex deemed herself ready to proceed with the plan.

Damon's involvement had been easier to negotiate, all it had taken was an unwilling Zach to vouch for him and his 'efficiency' and 'good motives' (and a little lie here and there about him hunting vampires before,) and some charming words from Damon himself about 'wanting to do what was right as a founding family member of Mystics Falls,' for Sheriff Forbes to reluctantly agree to let him in too.

Alex was elated to see them interact, their friendship had been one of the things that helped shape Damon into a morally grey character rather than the villain he was introduced as. Now all she needed was a way to get Rose in town and it'll be all done! 'Though, I doubt we'll run into them since we're planning to deliver Elena ourselves. Pity, I liked her. At least Trevor gets to live for however long he wishes to keep running away.'

Alex watched them for a bit, glad to see they seemed to get along just fine before she slipped away, manoeuvring her way around the officers crowding the area. She shot Noah one last look as a cop zipped him up in a black bag, not feeling an ounce of guilt at being one of the reasons he was dead. This was completely different from the vampires in the tombs. Unlike that one time, Alex wasn't bothered by what she'd done. He had sealed his fate the moment he put his filthy hands on Caroline. He had it coming for messing with her Care-bear.

Once she was alone, there was a soft breeze as Anna and Harper joined her side, they had come back up in case things went south while Stefan and Pearl stayed with Caroline.

"He's gone?" Anna asked, hands in her jacket's pocket.

Alex's face distorted as she let the illusion fall and her actual face came into view, "Yup. He's dead." She said, looking at them, "Thank you for coming."

Harper smiled at her, "Anytime, Miss Gilbert. I owe you my life after all."

"You're not indebted to me, Harper." Alex assured him before changing the topic, "Are we still on time to watch the comet? I doubt I'll be alive next time it shows."

(...)

Days later after dealing with Noah, Mystics Falls was swiftly lulled back into a false sense of security as if nothing ever happened. The multiple animal attacks that were all over the news not long ago were swept under a rug and quickly forgotten, and sooner than Alex imagined it, people resumed their activities, back at going out late at night and camping in the wood without a care that only days ago, bodies were found mangled all around the forest. Small Towns people were odd.

On a Sunday night, Alex had received a text from Stefan right before she went to bed where he let her know that Caroline had graduated from vampire preschool and was ready for her awaited return to human society. Not that many people noted her absences, (compelling was a very handy trick to have around.) Bonnie was the exception, of course, since she was a witch and couldn't be compelled, they had retorted to use the more old school methods to keep Caroline's secret. Lying.

Elena had been the one in charge of keeping track of Bonnie's moves. To their relief, she only limited herself to ask once about Caroline's whereabouts the first day she was missing from class and that was it. This served as a reminder to Alex that the three girls weren't as close as in the show. Not that it was a bad thing though.

Anna took care of the teachers and the head administrator, compelling them, so Caroline was able to focus on learning self control and what Pearl called 'Vampire etiquette.' Whatever that was. Even Damon had shown up at the old Gilbert building to offer some words of wisdom, (They weren't very wise according to Caroline but it was the thought that counted,) and soon, the newbie vampire was more than ready to return to her old life as her new self.

Alex entered the old building using her spare key and was greeted by the strong smell of herbs and spices until she ventured further into the top floor where they were staying.

She passed by Harper who was busy nursing a cup of tea and reading the newspaper and Pearl who was finishing her breakfast. Her boss had done a fantastic job remodelling the place and transforming it into a home. The walls had been painted a cream colour, the old white tiles had been replaced, vintage furniture had been bought and built and two tall bookshelves lined the whole wall.

"Good morning." She greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning." They answered pleasantly at the same time before a door swung open and Caroline halted at the doorway with Anna standing behind her, a piece of toast hanging in her mouth.

They stared for a second too long before the blonde blurred out of view and came crashing into Alex's arms, knocking the air out of her. But she didn't mind as she returned the hug just as eagerly, clinging to her dear friend like they haven't seen each other in ages. She really missed her friend.

"Care, you're crushing me." She mumbled, face pressed into her friend's body as the rest of the vampires shared an amused look.

"Oh! Sorry! I keep forgetting I'm stronger now," she released her slowly before a regretful expression took over her face as she twiddled her thumbs, "I'm sorry for trying to drink you like a Capri sun." She said sincerely.

"You have nothing to apologise for, Care-bear." Alex assured her, "My inner circle is mostly made up of vampires. One of you was bound to bite me at some point. I'm actually surprised it took this long." She joked, "What's that saying, you know, the one about raising crows?" She asked aloud to no one in particular.

"Raise crows and they'll gouge out your eyes." Harper answered, happy to be of help, "I've been reading in my spare time." He explained innocently with a glint in his eyes.

"Yes! That one!" Alex exclaimed, noticing Caroline's amusement, "I'm sorry. I'm probably not making any sense but-" she threw her arms around her friend again, "I'm so happy to have you back! You have no idea how much I missed you. School is not the same without you."

"I'm happy to be back too. And for the record, I missed you too. And before you ask, you do taste good."

Alex smiled and nudged her arm, "You know me so well."

Anna quipped then with a smirk, "Not trying to ruin your heartfelt moment, but I don't want to run late for school." She said, filing a to-go cup with coffee.

"Oh, right!" Alex facepalmed at her forgetfulness, digging around her back pocket, pulling out a velvety red box that she deposited on Caroline's hand, "I already asked your mother for her blessing. All you have to do is say yes." She grinned.

Caroline grinned back, "I'm going to say no just for the fact you didn't get on one knee." She said, sliding the daylight ring in her middle finger, admiring its beauty.

It was a lovely piece, a thin silver band that wrapped around the lapis lazuli, keeping the precious stone in place. Alex had once again commissioned her trusty jeweller buddy since she wanted Caroline's ring to be special and unique for her.

"You like it?"

"I do... It's beautiful." Caroline said awed, touched by the gesture, she turned to Pearl, "I thought you said daylight rings were hard to get."

"They are. Most vampires live their lives in the darkness of the night. Unable to feel the warmth of the sun ever again." The woman answered with some melancholy before she smirked slightly, "Lucky for you, your friend is a witch who likes our kind... Those are hard to come by." Pearl said, tilting her chin to point at the worn book in the mahogany bookshelf, "I believe that's yours."

'Emily's grimoire.'

(...)

The old book wasn't of much help and did not provide much of an answer either, unsurprisingly. But she had learned a new trick or two so it wasn't a complete loss to her. All she could do was theorise about the weird interaction she had with Alaric. Perhaps it was the magic inside of them reaction from being near each other? Or maybe the witches from the other-side were using the rings as a conduit to voice their displeasure with her and her meddling? But if the latter was true, then, what did Alaric hear?

'If Esther's been keeping tabs on him since the beginning... Nothing good could result from this.' But he hasn't died yet... though Alex doubted she could dissuade him from trying to kill Damon without telling him that his revenge was pointless since Isobel was still alive and now was a bitchy vampire and all of his years mourning his dead beloved were for nothing.

'Maybe I should omit the last part?' That was an already difficult conversation she didn't want to have again. Elena was still coming to terms with that and there was no guarantee Alaric wouldn't try to find Isobel to get some answers directly from her mouth and not Alex's and get himself killed for good and lose his ring- because it was his, Alex refused to refer to it as uncle John's. He didn't deserve it.

If the ring ends up in her uncle's hands again, then he might return to Mystics Falls and pull a Van Hellsing on them, killing her friends in the process.

This was all a supposition, one of the most extreme scenarios she could think of. Alex wasn't willing to risk it, not after what happened with Caroline. She'll have to thread with care and have a talk with Alaric soon.

Alex had been avoiding him all of this time, keeping her head low during class and bolting out as soon as the bell rang. He didn't look too happy about that but there was nothing he could do to stop her. Or so she thought. She just needed more time to prepare her words- Shouldn't she be a pro at this? delivering heartbreaking news should be easy at this point in her life, she had told worse news to Elena and she had take it like a champ, why should a grown man be any different? shouldn't he be more emotionally intelligent to process trauma better than a teen girl could?

'How should I... Hey Ric, can I call you Ric?- No? that's cool. Well, Alaric, the thing is, your dead wife is not so dead- Nope, no, that was awful.' Alex smacked herself for even thinking that line could work.

'How about... Hey Mr. Saltzman, did you know we're basically family? your wife is my sister's biological mom! isn't that crazy? Also, she's not dead. Surprise!'

She was already dreading their conversation.

'Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut and let Damon do his thing... But then Esther's might sink her claws on him and poison his mind with anti vampire propaganda just like in the show... Crap.'

(...)

Aunt Jenna pushed the cart after dumping a bag of detergent in, turning around to check on her niece, "You need a tissue?"

Alex sniffed, nose red and eyes watery as she nodded, "Yeah," she answered with difficulty, dropping a bottle of lemon scented disinfectant in the cart.

The strong smell of detergent and cleaning products made her allergies flared up even in this life. She wasn't here by her own volition though. When they had arrived at the supermarket, Aunt Jenna had pulled out a long grocery list that she split in two before Jeremy snatched one of the halves and told Elena to follow him since neither his sister nor his Aunt were good company for grocery shopping because they tended to compare products and prices and waste too much time in his opinion.

'His lost. We're obviously the winning team. Not our fault he doesn't know how to find good offers.'

It wasn't until Jenna checked their list that she realised their bad luck, shooting Alex an apologetic smile, looping their arms together before they entered the establishment.

Alex accepted the tissue, closing her eyes as she blew her nose as discreetly as she could before she crashed into someone, "Sowwy," she apologised, seeing her teacher's shocked face through half lidded eyes.

"Alexandra, Hey," he greeted as he recovered from his surprise.

'Aw fuck. Think fast!'

"Mr. Saltzman! Hello!" She said enthusiastically, gesturing to her Aunt with a hand, "This is my Aunt Jenna." She smiled at her cleverness. 'Distract the man with a pretty lady. Smooth.' "This is my history teacher, Mr. Saltzman."

He smiled charmingly at her Aunt, "Jenna, hi. I wasn't aware Alex was you niece." He said.

"We met at the Founder's party." Jenna explained to her, smiling brightly at him.

Right. Of course she didn't know that. Alex had opted to stay at home to keep her mom company and watch a movie with her to spend some mother-daughter quality time, not wanting to deal with Carol's questions about the missing pocket watch's whereabouts.

At least Jenna ran into Alaric and not scumbag Fell.

'It was the little things like this that brought her joy.'

Alex could see he wanted to talk to her but she hadn't rehearsed in her head their conversation nor prepared herself so she wasn't ready to talk to him yet. Especially not here.

"That's great!" She said, "I'm going to find Elena and Jeremy. Bye Mr. Saltzman." She excused herself, hearing her Aunt apologise for her behaviour, blaming her allergies and inviting him for her sister's upcoming baby shower.

'Great.'

I'm very happy to announce that after a year and a half of typing in my tiny phone, I finally have a computer!

It feels so weird to type in a proper keyboard again after so long and it'll definitely take me some time to get used to it again. This is the last chapter I wrote on my phone so enjoy it because it took me so freaking long to finish it, can't believe I manage to write 6k+ words per chapter without going crazy!

Also we're super close to reaching 500 follows. It feels just like yesterday when I posted the first chapter.

Thank you all for sticking around and being patient with my weird updating schedule.

UnknownReaderHasJoined: Yup, she's been a dick to her sister, but she means well. I agree, Alex can handle anything or anyone that comes her way ;)

sammyleann: kassdajdsh sorry for making you cry! (but I'm lowkey pleased i did because it means i did something right lol) Three sounds fine, but what about poor Finn? He deserves some too. Enzo is fine, worry not! Alex saved him and sent him to a vacation in a tropical island to compensate for the torture Grayson put him through... Or maybe I didn't knew he was at the Gilbert building to begin with because I haven't started season 5 yet... We'll never know.

Charlie0925: thank u you kind reader, I do try my best. Elijah, hum, i like that. Him and Alex would get along fine.

AnosDT95: I do have some aces up my sleeves lol.

Nennia: Thank you! Elijah is also one of my faves and don't worry about your English, I was able to understand you just fine. English isn't my mother language either so don't worry too much about it. you can write in your native language if it more comfortable for you that way, i have no issues using the translator.

sam: You're welcome Sam. Happy to provide some entertainment during this trying times.

annik92: Thanks ! No harm done at all , a jealous Mikaelson sounds super fun ngl (not for poor Alex though)

animefan117: Aww Im sorry for making you cry! I've just been watching lots of soap operas lately and was inspired to add some sadness and drama.
