You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you…

Long, side swept natural onyx curls fell down the beauty's bare, light caramelly back and stopped just before her top was knotted at the dip in her curves. Elena watched as she carried two drinks from the bar to her table. Her companions were a handsome man with light bronzed skin, a close fade, and lovely green eyes, as well as a bubbly girl with an A-line platinum bob.
Elena, feeling the familiarity, decided to give her to Enzo. His free will would allow him to keep her safe and she knew she couldn't give her to the Salvatore's. 'Enzo, the dark curly haired one at the table with the blond and green eyes. Invite her. But get rid of her friends,'
He nodded and slowly strutted over to the young woman. Elena scoured the patrons, not believing her eyes when she felt ancient energy coming from a green eyed bronzed beauty and her blonde locked friend seated across the club. They were engaged in an excited conversation and Elena utilized her sense of hearing to listen in.
"This used to be a centuries old brothel, until it was shutdown by the Gemini Society in the early nineteen hundreds," the blond one was saying. "The word is, they were some sort of Satanic cult and killed their visitors until the oldest set of Parker twins from the Gemini somehow stopped them. No one knows what happened, there was no explosion or anything, but the whole property was in pieces the next morning, completely demolished and only the twins could be pulled out of the rubble,"
"Were they alive?" Green eyes with long auburn tresses asked.
Her companion nodded. "Only they were both completely insane, saying they killed the demons. Since no one was found that night, the twins were going to be hanged but some of the patrons from that night, came forward alive and well the next day. Only they couldn't say what had happened that night and they fled town shortly after,"
"Grams told me that twenty years ago, after the twins of the Gemini Society finally died, the descendants of the original owners of the brothel were back in town and people had gone missing again,"
"Right. Only a little girl, about five years old was found wandering nearby here and she couldn't say what happened either, just that there was evil lurking. She was taken in by your cousins right? The one that married a descendant of the Gemini?"
"Yeah but when Jamie and Olivia divorced, she took the little girl with her. I don't even remember her name, Jamie won't even talk about his first marriage to this day. He was weird about it last year when this place opened up. I don't blame him though, it is weird with this place being owned by the Mikaelson family,"
"Everyone thinks they're demons or a cult that follows the original Mikaelson's who owned the brothel. But my mom looked into it, the supposed demon family had Viking origins. The property owners of this place are from Great Britain,"
"Any residential addresses?"
The blond shook her head. "No, the wanderer's they found out in the sticks were in either direction and Mom knows better than to tell me exactly where she wants me to stay away from. Everyone has come back from the supposed Mikaelson mansion, but they're just different,"
By now Elena had drawn Stefan and Damon's attention to the conversation the girls were having. Their collective interest in the Mikaelson's was peaked enough and it would be an easy lure as long as Stefan's Ripper gene wasn't acting up. It had been nearly a century and it was apparent Klaus was growing weary of his games. She looked at her watch. Damn, it was almost time! Kol would be furious if he discovered Elena had snuck out in Katherine's place. There was no way he'd ever trust Elena.
Elena headed towards the exit. Make this quick boys, initiation is at midnight, she issued a mental thought as she left The Avenue.

Katherine sighed and leaned forward to apply another layer of white nail polish to her last toe. "His game is getting old,"
"Well if you hadn't gotten Davina killed, he wouldn't even have the mind to pester you, would he?"
"She deserved better than him, Rebekah and you know it. She wasn't his intended,"
"Of course not, she was just his favorite. It still stands to reason if you hadn't given him a reason to antagonize you, we wouldn't be having this conversation,"
A sudden shift in the atmosphere caused Rebekah to growl.
"Get out, Kol," the blonde hissed.
"Just between us girls, what do you think Nik will get up to tonight?" Kol asked from his sudden position on the bed. He was lying on his side, propped up on an elbow with his fist resting under his temple. Katherine turned from her chaise lounges at the foot of Elena's bed to scowl at him. Her legs were still wide open and Kol's eyes shifted to her legs, then raised his brows.
Katherine snapped her legs shut, though Kol likely knew Elena would have immediately closed her legs and covered her lower half with a duvet, even though her skirt only needed to be pulled down. She prayed he wouldn't notice.
"Where is Elena?"
"Looking at you, unfortunately,"
"You'd better be. Do you know why you're back here instead of out recruiting with Katherine?" Without waiting for her to answer, he continued. "Your poor judgment in selecting a worthy candidate last week has demoted you in my eyes. It will be another century before you have another opportunity to leave the grounds again,"
Katherine's mouth dropped open. It wasn't fair the way he'd always cast out and bullied Elena. True she'd tried to get him killed on multiple occasions, but aside from that she had been loyal from the beginning. And that was aside from the whole Davina fiasco.
Rebekah chortled. "Ha! Speak for yourself Kol. The rest of us were duly satisfied with Elena's selection and we've even got a new inductee. It's her fault yours was a dullard. In fact, I think she should go again,"
"The wench was on vervain!" Kol hissed.
Katherine balled her fists. "That's not fair! Klaus will not stand for-"
"Niklaus is rather busy tonight. He has no time for your trivial whining about what's just around here,"
"He's right, Elena, you don't want to anger Nik. Then Kol will get the dagger and we'll have a missing spot at the throne, and he'll get all pissy the way he does," Rebekah said as she examined her manicure.
"Hey Elena, need to see you for a minute," Suddenly the real Elena rushed in, grabbing Katherine and ushering her to the bathroom where they exchanged outer clothes as quickly as possible. "I got them! They'll be here tonight!" Elena mouthed excitedly.
"He's pissed at you. Stay here," Katherine instructed Elena, before she stormed out to glare at Kol. She was now dressed as herself. "Don't start this now, don't punish her for doing what you asked!"
Kol stood up, smirking at her. "Katherine, my only favorite part of this whole… doppelgänger madness. Have you a worthy offering for each of us tonight?"
Katherine nodded.
"We shall see. If it's not true, Elena will suffer the consequences. You don't want to cause trouble for her do you? Make certain you two are the pinnacle of star hostesses tonight," he turned to leave with Rebekah. "Actually, I want you both to entertain tonight. You two will prepare your selections for me. I want their eyes and minds opened to alternative ways of thinking,"
Katherine huffed her chest. "Elena and I don't entertain. That's Stefan and Damon's job,"
"Tonight you do,"
Katherine furrowed her brows angrily. "Rebekah, he can't make us-" but she turned and Rebekah was gone. Not that she could particularly blame her, as she had enough trouble getting in between her brothers when they had their disagreements. She sighed and sat down as Elena slowly emerged from the on-suite.
Kol looked them up and down, noticing they had matching toenail colors. "Matching toes. Your outfits should match as well, one black and one red. April will bring your wardrobe,"
Elena scowled at his smirk as he left the room.
"We've got a lot riding on this weekend," Katherine said softly as Elena walked up. She pulled her into her lap and clasped her hands around her stomach.
"Don't worry, K. It'll all be over soon," Elena's hands drifted up to caress Katherine's cheek as she relaxed into her hold. "I promise,"

Damon glared as he watched Stefan lead the bronzed beauty towards the exit with his nose buried in her neck.
She smells fresh and you know that's what they'll want. Stefan, don't ruin her for the Originals. She's not yours, not right now, he pressed mentally.
Stefan lifted his head up towards Damon with a smirk. She wants me to. Don't worry, I'll let you have a taste. But I get first bite.
"I think that's it for me, we don't usually drink this much and Bonnie normally wouldn't behave that way. I'll probably have to take her home," Caroline said with all of ease. Yet, Damon could hear her heartbeat pick up its pace as she frowned in her companions direction. The frown was for the fact that Stefan was sliding his hands up Bonnie's skirt at a public venue, and she was laughing about it. "Seriously, she's not being herself,"
Caroline moved to get up, until she saw Bonnie push him away and glare at him. Damon listened in.
"You know you wanna let me," Stefan said.
"I never said that," she snapped.
"You didn't say you wouldn't either,"
She clicked her tongue and shoved past him, strutting back towards Damon's table. She shook her head subtly at Caroline, likely declaring her decline in interest in the two brothers. Caroline dipped her head slowly in acknowledgment before she tossed her silky blond locks over her shoulder and plastered on a mournful smile.
These women aren't subtle at all, Damon issued to Stefan without emoting any reaction on his face.
Except Stefan, of course had to be cocky as was the norm for him devoid of emotions. Little do they know, he thought back as he took a seat and reached for Bonnie.
"Well boys, thank you for the drinks but we're gonna call it a night already," Caroline announced as Bonnie slapped Stefan's hand away from trying to pull her into his lap.
"You know what, we have to go too. We don't wanna be late to the Mikaelson's, do we Stef?"
Stefan stopped grabbing for Bonnie's hand and turned to Damon. "Right. We should get going,"
Caroline and Bonnie once again exchanged subtle looks. "The Mikaelson's? You mean the mansion?"
That was the bait, Damon thought. And this is the hook. "It's an exclusive invitation only," he stood up. "Come on, Stefan. As open minded as they are, they won't appreciate our being tardy," he flashed a smile at the women. "Excuse us,"
Caroline stepped in front of him. "You have to take us! We have been trying to get an in with them for weeks!"
Damon clicked his tongue. "Right," he stepped around her and nodded his head at Bonnie as he began to take his leave with Stefan.
"Please, we'll do anything!" She exclaimed.
"Anything?" Stefan asked. He looked at Bonnie who lowered eyes in a haughty glare. "Bonnie knows not to make promises she can't keep. Isn't that right, Bon?"
She lifted her head and walked up to him, glowering with her green gaze. "We're journalists. Are you going to take us or not?"
He looked down at her and leaned close to her face. "Be careful what you wish for," then he nodded his head. "We're taking my car,"
Stefan grabbed Bonnie's hand and pulled her towards the exit. Bonnie in turn grabbed Caroline's hand. Damon sneered as he followed the ménage a trois.
When they'd all stepped outside and reached Stefan's car, he handed Damon the keys and guided Bonnie into the backseat and followed her. She immediately climbed out of the passenger side of the rear and slammed the door, once again hating all the naughty things he whispered in her ear. She slipped into the front passenger seat after she swore to Caroline she'd ditch Stefan as soon as they reached the mansion.
Caroline, being the good friend she was, made sure to sit behind Bonnie, ensuring she wouldn't be pestered by Stefan. If only she knew putting herself between Stefan and the object of his desire would backfire on her. But Damon figured these girls were to learn the hard way, that's why they were here in the first place.
He took his seat in the driver's side and started the engine.
"So how do you know the Mikaelson's?" Bonnie asked as they turned onto the road.
"We go back a long way," Damon replied.
"Then, being old friends, shouldn't you be able to pop in at any time?"
"The Mikaelson's are in their own timezone,"
"Is that because they're aliens?"
Damon looked at her as he changed lanes to the highway's on-ramp. "You know there's a reason they don't often let anyone besides their inner circle come through. It's outlandish theories like that, that give them a bad name,"
"Well, what's their secret? Why are they so secluded? Why does everyone who comes back from their place turn out different?" Bonnie looked impatient, yet determined to get to the bottom of the Mikaelson mystery. If she managed to make it through the night, he just might tell her.
Suddenly he sensed arousal coming from the back seat and he mentally reprimanded Stefan. Don't you dare fuck her, Stefan, we're already running late!
Relax, Mom. I'm just gonna slop her down one time. If these girls didn't retain their innocence, until the meeting, Klaus wouldn't want them If they came to him ruined by Stefan's impurities, he'd likely slaughter them and the whole night would be a waste. Damon couldn't afford to let his little brother ruin this. All Stefan had to do was wait one fucking night.
Then Caroline let out a moan. Bonnie, surprised, looked back to discover Stefan hovering over her friend, guiding her back to the seat as he kissed her. Damon witnessed this from the rear view mirror.
"Hey!" She yelped.
"Don't worry, I got you next," Stefan said with a smirk as he caught Bonnie's eyes.
The green eyed beauty fumed in the front seat, until Stefan released Caroline and allowed her to sit up. Off about this incident was that Damon tried compelling her to remain calm and disregard them. Only it didn't work.
He slowed to a stop when he approached a gate with a tollbooth. Tyler Lockwood stepped out of the booth and requested everyone's mobile device for entry.
"Is he serious?" Bonnie muttered.
"You've come this far. And I didn't bring you all out here just to turn back now," Damon said as he handed over his and Stefan's phone. "Phones, if you want this exclusive interview,"
Bonnie sighed and gave up her phone, handing him Caroline's too. "This better be good,"
"Oh baby, you have no idea how good it's going to be," Stefan sang from the back.
It was apparent, she couldn't wait to ditch his ass. Her attitude was intriguing and Damon intended to work it out of her once the opportunity presented itself. They rode up the driveway in silence for the next five minutes until they reached the roundabout parking circle in front of the mansion.
Jeremy Gilbert stepped forward to open Bonnie's car door. His sweeping gaze swept down her form in her emerald mini dress as she stepped out of the vehicle. Reading his thoughts, Damon gave him a warning snarl, with his vampire visage that diminished by the time Bonnie turned around to regard him.
"Damon and Stefan Salvatore have just arrived with two guests. I'll send them right up. Ladies, please. Follow me," Jeremy said in what Damon was sure he thought was a temptingly seductive voice. All that ass kissing still hasn't gotten the boy very far, now had it?
Stefan cast a last sticky eyed glance at Bonnie, digging himself further into her fuck-off hole, in Damon's eyes. He had a feeling she wouldn't consider him, even after the night played out. His younger brother then led Caroline up the steps leading to the front entrance.
"Welcome to the Mikaelson compound," Damon said as beckoned with a head nod for Bonnie to step ahead of him. She trusted him enough, at least more than Stefan to step in front of him. He decided it was best she learned sooner than later, that everyone here should only trust themselves. He slipped his arm around her waist and yanked her closer.
"What the f-" Bonnie halted mid stride and break free from his hold.
"There's tons of guys like Stefan here, they won't bother you if they see you're already spoken for," she opened her mouth to speak again but Damon continued. "I know. But they don't. So play it smart,"
Once again Damon yanked her closer and resumed his pace. "Now, walk," he ordered as he guided her inside.
I was bored y'all and toying with this idea recently, so I'm back with another one! I was thinking what if Bonnie and her friend went to a party with mysterious hosts that turned into an eye opening, erotic, and maybe terrifying weekend? We'll see where this is going, if you're into it please let me know by adding kudos, comments, sharing amongst yourselves, saving it and whatnot
A vampire/witch AU because the human AU's tend to bore me. Maybe because real life drama annoys me, I much prefer entertainment along the supernatural genre. The next update should be up very very soon!
*I feel like I should explain the deal between Elena and Katherine. They're not sisters, and they're not lovers either but they have each other's back. If I decide to continue this I will explain their whole dynamic.
Also these vampires have telepathy powers which is how they communicate privately.
