Meanwhile, Elena got a text. "Guys, it's Elijah. He said we need to meet up. Like now" Said Elena, standing up.
"Oh um, Jeremy and Tyler you two stay babysitting y/n while we go deal with this," said Damon while grabbing his jacket. Caroline stood up and quickly passed you over to Tyler before heading towards the front door following everyone.
"And whatever you do, don't get her hurt or killed," Stefan said while closing the door, leaving.
"Okay, I mean how hard could this be? She's a four-year-old girl" Said Tyler looking at how you're playing around with a bracelet on your wrist.
"But your also forgetting that technically she's way older than us and a vampire" Jeremy pointed out.
They kept on talking until you started squirming wanting to be put down, you looked up at Tyler. "Down?" you asked.
"Okay, here you go" Tyler responded placing you back on the ground and you went up to your room to play.
It's been almost an hour and you haven't left your room. "I'm going to go check on her, she's got to be hungry by now" Jeremy said standing up.
"Okay, Ill go get a couple blood bags from the basement" Tyler also stood up and Vampire sped there.
When Jeremy got to your room, your door was wide open for him to see a fort built in there. He kneeled down to see inside and saw you playing with a couple stuffed animals with a soft blanket surrounding you.
"Hey y/n are you hungry?" He asked and you turned to face him, thinking for a second and nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
You crawled out from the fort and held onto his outstretched hand for you, going downstairs. When both of you got down there you saw Tyler pouring some blood into a light blue plastic sippy cup for you.
"Where did you get the cup?" Jeremy questioned and sat you down on one of the chairs at a table.
"Found it in that cupboard over there" Tyler answered, nodding over to the one on his left.
He finished filling the cup, screwing the lid shut then passed it over to Jeremy before opening another blood bag for himself.
"Tank you" You replied when Jeremy handed you the sippy cup filled with blood.
You finished the blood and started to run around the living room, energetic.
"Okay how about we play a game" Tyler suggested.
"Great idea, is there a game you want to play?" Jeremy asked looking to where you stopped to listen.
"Hide an' seek!" You exclaimed.
"Alright we'll count to thirty while you hide but your not allowed to go outside" Jeremy said and you nodded.
The two guys turned around starting to count, hearing your footsteps fade away.
"Twenty eight...twenty nine...thirty" they finished counting and started to look around
Jeremy started looking around on the floor they were already on while Tyler went upstairs to look for you. It's been twenty minutes and they still haven't found you, worried.
"What if we lost her? Damon and Stefan are quite literally going to rip us apart" Jeremy said, starting to panic.
"Is there anywhere we haven't checked?" Tyler asked also starting to freak out a little.
"No we've checked everywhere and we would've heard if she went outside since every door leading outside squeaks loudly" Jeremy said.
At this exact moment everyone walked back in, and saw the distress on the two teenage boys faces.
"What happened?" Katherine asked, speaking up first then sat back on the couch.
"Well we were playing hide and seek but we've been searching for twenty minutes, looked everywhere and we can't find y/n anywhere" answered Jeremy, scared that Stefan and Damon are going to kill them.
"What do you mean you can't find her!?" Damon exclaimed, Alaric having to grab him back from going over to the two boys.
"She's either a very good hider or she can just vanish into thin air" Tyler said, sighing.
"Y/N! THE GAME IS OVER YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!" Stefan yelled, while Alaric let Damon's arm go, seeing as how he has relaxed a bit.
They then all heard a bang that came from upstairs. "Did that come from your room?" Damon asked Stefan and everyone started going upstairs to Stefans room.
Once they got there everything looked like it did before. Before they left Bonnie realized that they haven't checked inside the closet.
"Hey guys what about inside the closet" she said and Stefan went over, opening the closet door.
The saw a beaten up bin on the ground, that must've made the noise they heard. "Stefy!" You said.
Everyone looked up and saw you on the top shelf above of where all of Stefans clothes are hanging.
"How the hell did you even get up there?" Damon asked, considering you were really short and tiny.
"I climb" You said smiling.
"You should probably come down now" Katherine said leaning against the doorway of the closet.
"Can't" you said looking at how far down the fall would be.
"Um okay, here. Come closer to the edge and on three jump into my arms" Damon went over and raised his arms as close he could over to you. You nodded and he started to count, "One...two...three!"
You jumped and he instantly caught you, holding you to his chest, a hand on the back of your head. "Awwww, see Damon is a real softy and has a heart" said Katherine taunting him.
Caroline and Jeremy trying to hold off laughing, that earned them a glare but they didn't really care anyways. They all went downstairs, sitting down and everyone started to tell Tyler and Jeremy what happened. While they were explaining everything you were coloring on a blank piece of paper with crayons.
"So what did Elijah want to meet up about?"
Alaric started to explain, "Klaus is starting to build a hybrid empire all just to bring us all down." Someone else starting to explain in more detail.
After everything was told, Damon and Stefan started to interrogate Jeremy and Tyler. It mostly is just consisting of Damon giving them different threats about what happened and if it ever happened again if they ever somehow got stuck babysitting you again.
"Okay Damon I think they get it now" Elena said seeing how the two teenage boys are starting to zone out.
"Alright...fine" replied Damon, sitting back down beside Alaric whose taking out all of the different stake weapons, making sure they have what they need.
"How the fuck do you keep track of all those?" Damon wondered, picking up a stake and twirling it between his fingers.
"Its called being organized" Alaric remarked to his best friend.
Katherine got up and went to where you were now biting into a bright yellow crayon. Immediately she took the crayon out of your grasp and mouth. She placed it out of your reach from where you were sitting and did the same with the rest of the crayons splayed out in front of you.
"You shouldn't eat crayons they are made of wax" She said, picking you up and placed you on her hip.
While Katherine was walking back into the room where everyone else was she felt a pinch in her neck. She then felt you starting to suck some blood into your mouth, swallowing. When she sat down, Bonnie noticed how you were feeding from Katherine.
"Why is she feeding from you?" Bonnie asked her, causing everyone to turn they're attention over to the three of you.
"In my defense I didn't tell her to, she just started to feed from me" Katherine shrugged and you pulled away, full.
"Wait a second...y/n did you feel anything? Like any emotions that weren't yours, you just felt it while drinking Katherine's blood?" Stefan started to smother you.
"You sound like a new, concerned mother who's child just got hurt" Damon snickered and that earned him an elbow to the ribs from Alaric.
"No feel nuffing" you shook your head then slid down off of Katherine's lap.
You went upstairs to your room where you grabbed the four teddy bears still in the fort. Instead of resuming playing with the bears in the fort you walked out and went to the room that Caroline and Tyler were staying in.
Once you climbed onto the bed you started playing with the teddy bears in your own little world.
As everyone was settling back down after the whole thing of you drinking Katherine's blood there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it" Jeremy said and stood up, gladly since Damon was still glaring daggers into his eyes.
As soon as Jeremy opened the door a bunch of hybrids came crashing through the house, starting to attack everyone.
