Chapter 3 - Unexpected Guests
The Next Morning…
Elena woke with a pain in her neck. Every 'morning after' she would make the mistake of not using a cushion or pillow and she then ended up with neck ache. She was the first one up and it was already midday. Knowing that everyone would wake up feeling the same as her, minus the neck ache. Elena decided to make breakfast, the best cure for a hangover…a fry up..
Not wanting to wake anyone in the house yet, Elena plugged in her iPod and attached it to her arm band. She usually used it for running, but today it would do for dancing in the kitchen.
Elena's favorite song came on half way through cooking breakfast. Cooking for four people always took a lot of time and this time was no different. But she would have some fun while doing it.
'Chrissy Depauw – Set it on Fire' came blasting through her earphones.
As the beat started to take place, Elena couldn't stop bopping her head. The beat soon moved to her lower body and only moments after was she shaking her hips to the music.
Feel the rhythm let it take you higher
Follow my lead and we'll set it on fire
While she danced she couldn't help but sing along with the song. Bringing the spatula close to her mouth as she sung in tune.
Dj's pouring silk on my eardrum
My hips move every time the beat drops
At hearing the word drop, she had moved away from the cooker to drop to a crouching position and then stand back up again, it was all fluent movement and looked as though she had choreographed the steps.
All that's missing is you missing is you, you
Quit being so shy boy come over
My body is yours if you want it
Let's set this dance floor on fire me and you
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Elena had left the food to cook a little while she danced happily around the apartment, dancing on furniture. Even going as far to do a back-flip in the middle of the room
Feel the rhythm it will take you higher
Follow my lead and we'll set it on fire
Hold me closer as close as you can
The small of my back is calling for your hands
Spin me around
Spin me around
Your body is doing some magic
Fix me with my .. damage
Let's set this dance floor on fire me and you
She moved her way to the frying pan and cracked some eggs. Doing it with ease and if anyone was watching and paying attention, Elena had cracked the eggs and along to the back beat.
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Set it on fire
Feel the rhythm it will take you higher
Follow my lead and we'll set it on fire
Elena was so caught up in the music and singing loudly that she didn't hear anything. Not a door opening or people calling her. It wasn't until she spun around in a Michael Jackson type move that she dropped the spatula she was holding. Gasping in shock, it took her a few moments to realize that she was half naked in front of four people.
"Shit" she mumbled.
"Looks like our dear sister had a busy weekend" A young brown haired mans voice filled the silent room. Another man who looked similar to the younger guy was trying to avoid looking at the uncovered woman. The third man who had a head full of unruly blonde hair seemed to smirk at the situation and a man who she assumed to be the eldest turned around to face anywhere but the unknown woman, while shaking his head.
"Sorry, But who are you?" Elena said quickly as she grabbed a tea towel to cover her bare waist. She wasn't expecting anyone to be in her living room, let alone four men.
"Who are you?" The blonde man asked.
Elena only glared back and said "I asked first and seeing as this is my apartment, I think I deserve an answer." She watched as the four men glanced at each other slowly letting out huffs and sighs of relief.
The group were interrupted by a bedroom door opening and Rebekah's voice filling the room. "What the blood hell is all the noise about 'Lena" Rebekah couldn't see the four men in the living room, she assumed the noise was best friend. Once she saw them she stopped in her tracks. Face filled with surprise, mortification and sudden realization about why they were here.
"Oh! Crap I forgot!" Rebekah made a small grimace and hoped that they weren't too mad at her.
"Wait! You know them?" Elena suddenly turned to face Rebekah, all she received was a nod. Elena let out a sigh and walked past Rebekah "I'm going to get dressed". She quietly padded off to the the bedroom, grabbing some shorts.
A minute later Elena had returned and Rebekah did the polite thing and introduced them all.
"Elena this my father Mikael Mikaelson and my brothers Elijah, Klaus and Kol." Rebekah pointed to each of them as she spoke their names. Elena gave a small smile and short wave, while trying to hide the shock of a surprise revelation. It was soon interrupted by the fire alarm going off.
"Oh no!" Elena quickly turned around and turned off the oven, moving the frying pan away from the heat. She then climbed on a chair and reached for the fire alarm immediately shutting off the loud annoying noise. Her hair flopped in front of her face and she blew it out of her face once she had a chance to relax.
The sound of a door opening was heard, Elena and Rebekah hastily covered their ears anticipating some screaming. They looked at each other expectantly. Soon the noise came echoing down the hallway.
"What the FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK!" Everyone turned to the hallway and saw a blonde dressed in a big T-shirt and shorts, another woman stood at her side wearing something similar, but in different colours.
"Not a morning person" Elena mumbled and the three brothers tried not too laugh.
"What the hell di…." Caroline was raising her voice, but it soon died off as she saw the room filled with testosterone. She was a little wide eyed and immediately covered her mouth after realizing her language.
"Sorry!" Caroline spoke through her hand and received some looks of amusement from the men. She couldn't help but notice one of them was staring at her, the look wasn't enough to make her uncomfortable, but their was something about him.
Rebekah now had to introduce everyone again when Caroline and Bonnie stepped in the room. To say Caroline was shocked was an understatement, she also gasped in surprise at the mention of the last name. Bonnie was acting like a little school girl when she looked at one of the brothers and it raised a few eyebrows.
Caroline and Bonnie went back in the bedroom to look a little more alive and Elena tried to save breakfast, but it wasn't salvageable. She huffed in annoyance at the lack of food in her stomach to soak up last nights alcohol.
"Well breakfast is ruined" Elena told Rebekah, she wanted to talk to Rebekah more especially about her lying but with the guests in their house she would do it later.
"Maybe we can eat out, there is a diner three blocks away. I was going to have lunch with them, but I forgot" Rebekah gave a sheepish grin at her forgetfulness and looked to everyone for an answer.
"Sure, I'll go tell Care and Bon" Elena left the room as everyone agreed to the new arrangement.
After everyone was dressed and ready, they all headed out together.
