Chapter 9: Everything is fair in love and scheming

Rebekah stepped out of her red Toyota and repeatedly cursed the weather as the rain flood down and destroyed her hair. Annoyed by the pouring rain she walked as fast as she could towards the city hall without giving herself up as a vampire to the humans around her.

She had gotten called in for another council meeting and for some reason the rest of the council had forbidden her from going to school until the situation with the new vampire was solved.

She stepped inside and met the face of a man that she could have sworn was her brother if it wasn't for that happy expression on his face.

"Rebekah!" He lifted her up in a warm and friendly hug and then smiled a huge smile towards her when he finally put her down on the floor again. "I am so happy to see you, little sis!"

Rebekah took a step back and studied him very closely before she finally realized that the 'rainbows-unicorns-and-happiness-will-make-peace-o n-earth-with-big-hugs'-guy standing in front of her was in fact her big brother.

"Klaus…" She said suspiciously. "What on earth is wrong with you?"

"What is wrong with you?" He asked and patted on her cheek for every syllable. "Now what's with this sour face of yours? Why don't we make it a much happier one!" He put his thumbs on each corner of her mouth and pulled them up so that her face was twisted in a grotesque smile.

Elijah's cold laugh echoed through the empty corridors. "Is this some kind of new torture technique, brother? Or do you just find it amusing to make our lovely sister look like an everyday whore who got her face burnt in a fire?"

"Elijah…" Klaus sighed amused.

"Eh, Elijah? Could you like help me out here or something? Like throwing this monster in the trash and getting my brother back from his journey to the land of the care bears!" Rebekah said.

"Care-a-lot?" Elijah said with an understanding voice.

"Care- what?" Rebekah answered.

"Care-a-lot! You know… The land where the care bears live?" Elijah said enthusiastically.

Rebekah got free from her silly looking brother's hands, sighed and put up a hand in front of Elijah's head.

"I am not even gonna ask you how you know that." She passed by them both and opened the door to the big aula where the meeting was going to take place.

Luckily, no one was there yet and thankfully couldn't have heard the conversation she just had with her brothers.

"Are you two gonna mature and come to this meeting or do I have to lie to the council and say that the both of you are out of town for the day, due to some very important business in New Orleans?" She said.

Elijah sighed and grabbed Klaus' arm to drag him towards the aula.

"We're coming. Sadly, I just have to make our love-sick brother a hateful bastard again." He said and started talking about stuff that usually made Klaus extremely mad.

Rebekah rolled her eyes, shook her head and left the two of them out in the corridor, alone.


Alex left the schools area as soon as the bell ringed to tell them school was out for the day.

"So, what do you wanna do today?" Dana caught up with her somewhere around the parking lots but kept quiet until they had driven away and were half way down-town.

"I don't know? What do you feel like doing? I mean I would be up for more shopping but I think we got through every single crappy piece of clothing there is in this town." Alex said and took a right turn with her leather seated Porsche.

"We could always do what we were planning to do yesterday before you bailed on me!" The undertone in Dana's voice made it very clear that she didn't appreciate getting left behind.

"C'mon!" Alex yelled and stopped the deep blue car at a red light. "You can't still be mad at me for that! I've apologized like a thousand times!" She stepped on the accelerator as the light turned to green again.

"Can you slow down a bit? You're scaring me when you're driving this fast, and by the way, weren't we going to the movie theater?" Dana said.

"No. I changed my mind. I'm gonna drop you off by the café and you'll have to walk the rest of the block home." Alex said in a very mad voice.

Dana's big brown eyes turned huge. "B-but! You can't be mad for me being a little pissed at you for ditching me yesterday!" Dana said in a failed attempt to defend herself from Alex's penetrating stare.

"Yes. Yes I can." Alex stopped the car right outside the café as she had said. "Especially since it seems like you can't accept my apology, even though I've apologized and apologized over and over just because you love the attention it gives you."

Dana looked guilty as charged when Alex mentioned the part about attention. She had really hit the right nerve and Dana looked like she could bitchslap Alex to the worlds end right there and then.

"So," Alex continued with a calm but angry voice, "get out of my car!"

A furious Dana opened the car's door and slammed it after she had stepped out of the vehicle. "Fine!" She yelled. "Be that way then!" And she walked away from the car with angry and determined steps.


A knocking on the car's window made Alex believe that Dana had come crawling back like the little underdog she was, which actually was very unlikely since Dana was very rancorous and wouldn't be crawling back until the next day.

She looked up and saw the very irritating and stupid jock Tyler Lockwood stand outside of her car. He was making gestures telling her to roll down the window, so she did.

"Sweet ride you have here." He said and leaned inside the car through the open window.

"Thanks." She said.

"I would give anything for a ride like this!" He said. "I mean maybe a little more masculine one, but still, it's a very nice car."

Alex saw how he almost burned holes in her keys and the steering wheel with his stares and she got a new idea for her second victim in the group.

"Yeah it is. Wanna take her for a spin?" She said.

"Are you serious?!" He said and caught the bait as soon as it was dangled in front of him, just as she had thought he would.

She jumped over to the passenger seat and he got in behind the wheel.

They drove around the city for a while and Tyler howled of laughter as they went way over the speed limit on the empty road leading to the cemetery.

"Can't we just pull over here?" Alex said and started her flirting process; a little showing skin here, a little "accidental" touching there. It only took so much to change their chemistry from friendly to sexual.

She could hear how his heart started to beat faster when she bend over to pick up her phone from her bag, which was lying on the floor. She placed her hand on his thy as she got up and she felt the blood rushing inside of him. She looked up in his eyes and smiled that innocent smile that always got guys on their feet.

He parked the car on the empty parking lot belonging to the cemetery and turned around so that he was sitting face to face with her. She kept her hand on his thy and started to gently massage the inner side of it as she moved her hand closer to his chest and her whole body closer to him.

He sat like paralyzed and did nothing to stop her when she came even closer and kissed his neck. She got smoothly up from her seat and stepped over to his side so that she could sit down in his lap with her legs wrapped around his chest.

Alex kept on kissing his neck, his chest, his ears; teasing him in every way she could before she came to his mouth and she had actually sunk so low that she was making out with Tyler Lockwood. But it was worth it, right? She had been on this journey for her revenge in over a century and she had never let anything stop her before, so why should she now?

Suddenly, Tyler put one of his hands on her chest and pushed her away a little.

"I can't do this." He said. "I have a girlfriend!"

Alex smiled a very sexual smile.

"She not here now, is she?" Alex said and she saw how Tyler's defenses pulverize under her charm. She leaned forward again and kissed him on the lips. His hand that before had made such a valiant try to stop him from cheating on Bonnie Bennet, was now inside her shirt; massaging her breast.

"Besides," she said, "you're already doing it."

He stopped her from saying anything else by pressing his mouth on hers again. Every single thought or reason he had to not do this, were gone. He started to get creative, and even though she was kind of grossed out about the fact that this was Tyler she was getting down with, she had nothing to complain about when it came to his ways with her body.

They were starting to taking of each other's clothes when Alex heard something from the cemetery. Tyler didn't seem to notice anything after she had put her hand in his pants.

She smiled when the sound came closer and she could distinguish it as the voices of two females laughing. Alex was glad that her plan was set in motion on its own, faster than she would have thought. With a little luck she might just ruin Tyler Lockwood's reputation right here on the spot.

She gave in to her sexdrive just a little bit more, just so that his moaning of pleasure would get just a little bit louder. The awkward laughter that soon died out when the two females realized who it was it the car gave Alex the satisfaction she had been fishing for all afternoon.

A loud, furious knocking on the car's door and a very mad scream made Tyler aware of the raging girlfriend outside. He pushed Alex of in a very non-pleasant way and opened the door where Bonnie was standing with tears in her eyes.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" She yelled.

He got out of the car and tried talking to her but she just ran away. He followed her in to the cemetery and Alex could hear them fighting. She drove away, leaving them yelling at each other and Elena standing there with her mouth wide open like the retarded fish she was.


Alex picked up the giant bottle of vodka from her kitchen table and started moving with the loud music coming out of her speakers. Chantal Claret's "Bite Your Tongue" filled her ears as she danced her way into her office.

The big wall in front of her was covered with photos and information about every single soul at Mystic Falls High. In the middle there were the pictures of the most important persons; the "click" that was friends with Stefan Salvatore. She had put up pieces of strings connecting the different students and teachers with each other.

She picked up a red marker as the song changed and the speakers now pumped out "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" and she changed her dancing style. One photo had already been crossed over with the red marker; Caroline Forbes. It had been so easy to drive her away from the group. The task to make her see her dead mom had been almost too easy; after all it was she who had drained the blood out of her when she came here to do a drug raid on this mansion. Alex's mansion.

When little miss perfect came here to investigate what had happened to her poor little mom after seeing her, she gave her the perfect opportunity to get some information out of her. Twelve werewolf bites later and she'd gotten the little Barbie on a straight road to Loonytown. After that, Caroline had done everything perfect herself. Alex didn't even have to compel Bonnie and Tyler again to make them like each other.

She raised her hand and pulled of the lock of the marker with her mouth. Alex put the marker on the left, upper corner of Tyler's photo and drew a thick, red cross over his head.

"Two down, two to go." She said and put down the marker again.

A loud scream echoed through the mansion and buried the music far down under it.

"That's my queue" She said and danced her way to the bedroom. "Time for a snack"

Alex closed the door behind her and pulled up her brown waves in a ponytail so that they wouldn't get bloody.

The guy she had picked up on her way back from the cemetery was tied to chair in the middle of the room. His scream echoed once again through the mansion as she sat down on his lap with her legs on each side of his body.

"Go ahead." She said and pulled her fingers through his hair. "No one can hear you."

She put her teeth in his neck and drained his body of blood. His terrified screaming echoed through the halls of the mansion long after he was gone.

"Oh how I love it when they scream." Alex said and pushed his body out the window.
