"Caroline!" Shiloh called, jogging up to her sister in the school hallway.
"Shiloh, what are you doing here? This is senior prank night." Caroline said, glancing sideways at Tyler.
"We gotta talk." Shiloh said, giving Tyler a pointed look.
"You can talk with me here." Tyler said.
"It's privet." Shiloh said.
"Look, I'm not interested in whatever girl drama you have to talk about anyway." Tyler said.
"Don't be a jerk to my sister, Tyler." Caroline said.
"I guess it'd be to much to ask him not to be a jerk to anyone." Shiloh said, glaring at Tyler.
"I sense some tension, here." A blonde girl said in a British accent.
"Uh, do we know you?" Caroline asked.
"You're Caroline and Shiloh, Elena's friends, which makes you Tyler. The werewolf." The girl said.
"And you are?" Shiloh asked.
"I'm the new girl." The blonde said, her face morphing into a monstrous vampire face.
"Caroline!" Tyler yelled as the blonde rushed at the other vampires. Before she could react, Shiloh was swallowed by blackness as the clearly older vampire snapped her neck.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Shiloh groaned, opening her eyes and looking around the classroom. She spotted her sister waking up next to her, then the blonde vampire from before playing with Caroline's phone. "We didn't have mobile telephones in my day. Would have made life a whole lot easier, I suppose." The girl said, then took a picture of herself.
"Where's Tyler?" Caroline asked.
"He's dead. Ish." The girl answered.
"What do you mean, deadish?" Shiloh asked, looking at Tyler's body carefully, trying to listen for a heart beat.
"Think of it as he's having a nap. When he wakes up, he'll be a hybrid." The girl said. "Ugh. Vomit. Is that my neck... Why is that doppelganger bitch wearing my necklace?!" The girl yelled.
"What the hell is going on?" Shiloh asked. Instead of answering, the girl ran from the room at vamp speed, leaving the Forbs alone with Tyler.
"This night isn't going as well as I hoped." Caroline said. "What did you come here to talk about?" She asked.
"Damon. About why we broke up and why we shouldn't get back together." Shiloh said.
"He wants you to get back together?" Caroline asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Which is why I need my big sister to remind me why that's a horrible idea." Shiloh said.
"Well for starters, he tried to kill Dad." Caroline said.
"Right. And you." Shiloh added.
"And Bonnie, Ric, Vicki, and everyone else we care about." Caroline said.
"I know, I know. Damon has done some pretty horrible stuff in the past." Shiloh said.
"You never did tell me why you two broke up, though." Caroline said.
"You don't want to know." Shiloh said.
"What'd he do?" Caroline asked.
"It's what they did." Shiloh said.
"They?" Caroline questioned.
"That's why I didn't want to tell you. When Katherine gave Damon the cure I followed her to make sure she'd actually do it and... he was kissing her." Shiloh said.
"Katherine?" Caroline asked surprised and outraged.
"I wish. At least then I could just take all my anger out on her." Shiloh said.
"Then who?" Caroline asked.
"You really need to ask?" Shiloh asked back. Caroline just looked at her, waiting for an answer. "Elena." A splash from the pool drew in the girls attention.
"What do you think that was?" Caroline asked.
"Stay with Tyler, I'll find out." Shiloh rushed to the pool in time to see Bonnie diving in. Her eyes fell upon Matt who was floating under the water, tied to the bottom. She dove in after Bonnie, helping the girl free Matt and drag him back to the surface. Shiloh pulled him to the side of the pool and lifting him up out of the water.
"Matt, please! I can't do this. There's nothing else I can do!" Bonnie sobbed, trying to give Matt CPR.
"Should I give him my blood?" Shiloh asked. Matt suddenly came to life, spitting out water. Bonnie helped him sit upright, still in badly shaken.
"It's okay. You're okay." Bonnie told him.
"What the hell happened?" Shiloh asked.
"I saw Vicki. She had a message for Bonnie." Matt answered.
"Message? What was it?" Bonnie asked.
"From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus. She said that Elena shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual. The hybrids can't transition because Elena's still alive." Matt said.
"Oh god." Shiloh said.
"Tyler..." Bonnie said.
"He's going to die, isn't he?" Matt asked.
"There has to be another way." Shiloh said, standing up.
"What are we going to do?" Bonnie asked, helping Matt up. The three entered the hallway of the school.
"I'm going to find Tyler, you get Matt out of here, call me if you find anything." Shiloh said, rushing back to the classroom. The blonde girl had rejoined Caroline and Tyler, who was now awake.
"Shiloh." Caroline said.
"Care... I'm sorry." Shiloh said, shaking her head.
"What? What happened?" She demanded.
"I'm going to die, aren't I?" Tyler asked.
"No. No, you're not, Tyler. We're not gonna let you." Shiloh said, walking over to the two teenagers.
"There isn't really much you can do." The girl said.
"Who the hell is she, anyway?" Shiloh asked Caroline.
"Rebekah. I'm Klaus' sister." Rebekah replied.
"Well, the verdict's in. The original witch says the doppelganger should be dead." Klaus announced, entering the room.
"Does that mean we can kill her?" Rebekah asked happily.
"No, I'm fairly certain it means the opposite." Klaus said.
"What?!" Rebekah questioned.
"Call it a hunch..." Klaus trialed off, taking out a test tube containing blood and showing it to Tyler.
"Elena's blood." Shiloh said. Klaus seemed to notice her presence for the first time, smiling charmingly at her.
"Nice to see you again, Love. Hope my sister here wasn't to unpleasant." Klaus said.
"The witch wouldn't want you to make any hybrids, so she would've lied to stop you. Which means Elena needs to stay alive." Shiloh said.
"Clever girl." Rebekah said.
"Yes, she catches on fast, this one. But enough talk." Klaus said, heading towards Tyler. Rebekah held Caroline and Shiloh back, allowing Klaus to move freely. "Drink it." He demanded, holding up the tube.
"Tyler..." Caroline said.
"If he doesn't drink it, he'll die anyway. Worth a shot." Klaus said, forcing the blood on Tyler. "There we go. Good boy." Klaus said as Tyler drank. Suddenly, Tyler began to writhe in pain, letting out wails as he held his head. His eyes became the golden yellow of a werewolf while vampire veins appeared below his eyes.
"Well, that's a good sign." Klaus commented.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Shiloh didn't know why she was here, standing in front of the hospital. She had texted Damon to go get Elena there, she knew he would. But still, she went to the hospital, stood there, watching in the shadows as Klaus and Rebekah talked, then were interrupted by Damon.
"You'll have to kill me." That's what Damon said. He told Klaus that he would die for Elena. After some more talking, including Klaus almost killing Damon, Klaus allowed Damon to enter the hospital and he and Rebekah disappeared. Soon after, Elena and Damon exited the building as well. Damon carried Elena off in his arms, like a bride on their honeymoon.
"Troubled, Love?" Shiloh jumped, turning to face Klaus who stood beside her.
"What do you want?" Shiloh asked.
"Just thought a lovely young lady like yourself could use some company since your dear boyfriend is off playing prince charming with another princess." Klaus said.
"I'm not in the mood for small talk, Klaus." Shiloh said.
"Why do you stay with him when he loves another?" Klaus asked.
"Why do you care?" Shiloh asked.
"Because you could do so much better. I see your potential, Shiloh. Just like I see Stefan's." Klaus said.
"Cause that worked out great for him." Shiloh said, rolling her eyes.
"I suppose there is nothing I can do to change your mind... Yet. When I return, Shiloh, I'll show you what it is to be a vampire." Klaus said.
"When you return?" Shiloh asked but Klaus had already disappeared. Shiloh rolled her eyes, letting out a sigh. In her opinion, vampires shouldn't just go around disappearing for dramatic effect all the time, it got annoying. She turned and headed home, following the familiar roads she had grown up on. She had almost made it home when she received a phone call from an unknown number. "Hello?" Shiloh answered.
"Hey, Shy." Shiloh froze in her tracks, forgetting to breath. Could it really be?
"Lexi?"
