Okay, here you go. I have decided to cut back on the Author's Notes if not strictly necessary. I will still answer your questions and ask you if there are questions about the plot I want to be answered but other than that… I hope you understand that. It will make it easier to only get the chapter to read anyway and I'm getting a bit bored of writing random stuff into them…

Thank you for the Reviews you have given me and those you will give me in the future. Even if I don't answer them, I do appreciate it. Really.

Enjoy,

Nick

That evening, I let Sam sleep in one of the guest rooms, writing a note for him. I wanted to go and check out the part at the Grill, just to see what the town was all about.

I arrived at the same time as Elena, Jenna and two other girls, I don't think I know the names of "Hey, Jenna."

"Samael? Where did you disappear to?" Jenna frowned, speaking of the party I vanished from with Elijah.

I grinned sheepishly "Oh, you know? Damon being Damon. He – I thought it was best to take Elijah out of there before they could start killing each other."

"That's a pretty sensible idea," she grinned, following me inside the front door of the Grill. She caught sight of Alaric at the bar and headed that way "Do you want to join me for a drink?"

"Sure," I shrugged "Can't go wrong with that. Especially since I have a new charge at the moment."

Jenna tilted her head "Charge?"

"A friend of mine lost his brother last night. He – He's not doing so good and I really don't want to see him self-destruct," I explained, being as vague and as detailed as possible.

"That's sad," she murmured "Am I going to meet this friend sometime?"

I smiled lightly "Maybe. It depends on him and how he's doing." I slid a drink over to the other woman, taking a sip of my own. It was times like these, I really wished I could get drunk but sadly, that wasn't within my range of abilities.

"Jenna," Alaric said, sliding onto the chair on the redhead's other side.

"Not tonight, Ric," she dismissed "Tonight I have traded you for señor tequila and a friend."

The vampire Hunter raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend – ex? – "Yeah. Well, señor tequila's not going to be treating you very well."

"The two of you have a lot in common," Jenna snarked.

I snorted into my whiskey "Ah, the drama."

"Look, Jenna, I hate that you're this upset with me," Alaric sighed, raising his hand to touch the other woman.

My gaze wandered over the people in the room, trying to tune out the drama. I grinned when I recognized someone I hadn't seen in a while. I slipped down from my chair and patted Jenna's shoulder "You deal with your drama and I'll be right over there."

"Don't leave me with him," she pleaded.

I snorted "You're a big girl, Jenna. I don't have to hold your hand, do I?" Jenna glared at me and shooed me off, turning back to face Alaric. I wasn't quite sure what to think of the man. I mean, he did stab me. I walked over to the people I had seen a few minutes ago "I didn't think I would see you here."

"My Lady," the two men bowed, a grin on their faces "We thought that we'd check in on you."

I rolled my eyes "I don't need a babysitter and I already have my brother for that, don't I? Anyway… Hello, Envy, Pride."

"Lady Samael," they greeted as one.

"How have you been?"

Envy tilted his head "We have split up for the most part. Lust is in Paris or Rome, I believe. Gluttony is somewhere around the US. I mean, it's the best country for him. Sloth is with Wrath in Europe and Greed is in Africa, trying to help humans. That's the last we heard of them anyway."

"That's great," I smiled "I'm really proud of you guys. You're doing exactly what I created you for."

Pride looked at me for a moment and pulled me into a gentle hug "We're thankful for that. Really. Also that you have spared us when we last met."

I shook my head "I do not kill if I don't have to. You were my creations and if there's a hope for you, I will always save you."

"Now, serious moment over," Envy smirked "I heard that Sammy Winchester is here with you."

I sighed exasperatedly "It was nice for as long as it lasted. Yes, Sam is with me. He arrived this morning."

"We should inform you that there are plans for him. Lilith has… commanded one of her underlings to seduce the Hunter. You know that he was one of Azazel's special children. If given the right…"

I held my hand up "I know. Who is the demon in question?"

Envy shrugged "I believe her name is Ruby."

"Ruby," I hummed "Thank you for informing me. That is definitely something I will watch out for."

"Samael," a voice called out from behind me.

I craned my head around to look at the Original "Hello, Elijah. What are you doing here?"

"I thought I would look around," he dismissed, eyes focussing on the two demons behind me.

"Oh, Elijah, these are two of my friends. Er… Evan and Paxton," I introduced, using the first names that came to mind "Guys, that's Elijah Mikaelson." I shrugged at their weirded out looks and sent them a sheepish smile. These were really the first names that came to mind with the same first letters as their actual titles.

Envy leaned forward "Is he one of those… Original vampires I've heard about?"

"Yup," I murmured, shoving him backward "Which doesn't mean that he's a museum piece. Fuck off, you two. Thank you for warning me though." They held up their hands in surrender and bowed to me one more time before leaving "I'm sorry about them. Neither knows when to stop."

Elijah shook his head "It is no problem. Those weren't their real name, were they?"

I laughed lightly "No but I don' think you're quite ready to know the truth yet. It's… complicated and I don't know how you'd react."

"I wouldn't think any less of you," he argued, stepping closer to me.

"You say that now," I murmured, looking up at him with a small sigh. His hand came to rest on my cheek and I startled a bit. This kind of contact really was a bit new to me. Well, I did fool around a bit but nothing real, nothing that was even remotely going to last. It always stopped at kissing. I'm sure my brothers would have killed any suitor I had anyway if they had known that I was still alive. One more reason not to get too close to Elijah. I liked him and I didn't want anything to happen even if Lucifer were to come back. Maybe I should consult with dad but even that was a risk. He was being watched 24/7 and I just didn't know "I'm sorry. I should leave. Check up on Sam." The Original sighed and took a step back, letting his hand drop to his side. Oh, fuck it… I took a step forward, leaning up to press a kiss to Elijah's cheek "I'm taking a risk here. Goodnight."
