Stefan smiled to Trixie as she held Andie tight while he compelled her. She rolled her eyes before he took Andie to the side and Trixie grabbed her cell phone. She found texts to Damon and as she read a few Stefan hit her on the shoulder.

"Dont be snooping. Just text him."

"Give me a break! Hes been texting her about you. Hes obsessed with you Stefan. He is even tracking us through Florida! Oh god hes gone mental. Ohh heres some to and from Elena." Stefan snatched the phone out from her hand and glared as she shrugged and walked over to a nearby chair. Stefan glanced a the few texts Andie and Elena shared and noticed that one mentioned how sorry Elena was for kissing Damon. Stefan growled as he threw the phone to Trixie and nodded.

"Text him."

"Already did asshole. Didnt you read that or were you to interested in Elena's text? Uh hu! Thats what I thought. Calm down Stefan. After tomorrow night, we will be free."

"You're free already."

"Not really."

"Dont try to convince me Trixie. I see the way you two look at each other."

"Stefan, unless you found your mate you wouldnt know."

"I thought Kol was your mate." Trixie sighed as she turned her head to the side and frowned. Stefan knew he had crossed the line and as he went to hug her she stood and waved her hands, waving him off.

"He is Stefan, but so is Nik. Its hard to explain but without Kol nothing is ever going to happen between me and him. Just remember that the flirting and little kisses mean nothing. At least it isnt fucking." Trixie sighed as Stefan nodded and still drug her into a tight hug. She smiled as a tear dropped from her cheek and landed on his shoulder. He was about to ask her something else before they heard a noise and then a door opening. They vanished to a hiding spot when Damon walked into the building and walked closer to where they had just been. He had a ringing phone and as he picked it up and answered Stefan rolled his eyes as Trixie pretended to gag herself with her finger.

"Yes party central."

"Where are you!" Trixie and Stefan chuckled as they heard Elena on the phone bitching.

"Um by the punch bowl."

"Dont do that Damon, dont you lie to me! I saw your closet." Trixie perked up at this now and as Stefan glanced to Andie who he had standing on a high beam she smiled to him. She put her finger to his lips as she walked closer to Damon who had his back turned to them now as he tried to dodge Elenas questions.

"Oh uh I got to go, got to break up a beer pong."

"Damon!"

"Dear god Elena let the man go and do what he wants. No wonder he found me, your a drag." Trixie smiled evilly as Damon slammed his phone shut and glared at her. She smirked and waved at him as he went to attack her but she stopped him with one hold of her hand.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, you are the one trying to find us. We need you to stop by the way. You are causing trouble."

"For you or Klaus?"

"For me brother. You were supposed to let me go."

"Ah well I cant. I got a birthday girl that just wont let me do that. I saw your latest work in Tennessee. You are walking a fine line my friend."

"Im keeping him from crossing it Damon. Hes right you need to back off." Damon glared at her as Stefan as Trixie smiled and walked up behind Damon as he watched her carefully.

"Maybe Im not making myself clear enough. You need to stop."

"I will when you come home." Stefan sighed as he turned his head and glanced up to the ceiling.

"You still there Andie?" Damon's eyes shot to where Andie was standing and shaking. He shook his head and went to try and get under her before Trixie wrapped her arms around his waist and shook her head.

"Uh hu. Not nice to stop Stefan's play time." Damon growled as Stefan walked backwards a bit and smiled to Andie.

"Hey Andie?"

"Damon!" She screamed to him as Damon glared to Stefan.

"Not cool brother!"

"Aww its a bit cool! besides I thought you didnt care for anyone besides Elena?" Damon growled to Trixie as Stefan chuckled at her holding Damon back. Stefan looked back up to Andie and so did Damon when she shook a bit more and about fell and shrieked to herself.

"Damon, he said I couldnt move."

"Its going to be ok Andie, stay calm. Its going to be fine."

"Yes Andie it is. You want to move Andie? Go ahead." Stefan smiled again as Andie trembled as she walked towards the edge and Damon roared at his brother as she fell over and hit the ground hard, breaking her neck instantly. Trixie had hidden her eyes behind Damon's shoulder but when he went slack in her arms she let him fall to his knees before dropping behind him and frowning where he couldnt see.

"Andie..."

"I said to let me go brother." Stefan darted right to his face before snarling and disappearing. Trixie gripped his shoulders before she left but leaned in and whispered to him.

"You need to give up. I told you before I left I would take care of him. Forget us Damon." She kissed his cheek and followed Stefan back to the woods and towards the place they had left Klaus. Stefan was upset of course and so was Trixie but they couldnt show anything to anyone, especially Klaus, if they wanted things to work out to where they wouldnt be expected to kill anymore. They had to stay strong and that's exactly what they were doing now, staying strong together.

They returned to the hotel Klaus had gotten them for the night near the smokey mountain place where they were going to meet the pack the next night. Stefan got to share a room with the still unconscious Ray and as Trixie entered her and Klaus's room she felt his presence quicker than she did see him. He walked up behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist as he gestured to the table beside the bed with the other. Trixie smiled as she noticed a glass full of what she knew to be blood laced wine, a plate of her favorite food, and a flower. Rolling her eyes she glanced back to Klaus and crossed her arms across her chest.

"whats this for?"

"Just a thank you. For keeping Stefan straight." Klaus smiled as Trixie shook her head and grinned.

"You mean for bringing him back?"

"Maybe. I trust you Trix, I knew he would come back with you."

"You trust me but not him. And besides, you wouldnt just say thanks for bringing a puppet back. What is this really for?" Klaus sighed as he walked over to the table and gestured for her to sit. She followed and slowly sat in the seat he was holding out for her. As he sat beside her and smiled he gestured for her to eat. She narrowed her eyes at him and as she started to take bites of the fish he had gotten prepared for her she found that it tasted just like the first time he had cooked for her.

"Good?"

"Did you get this delivered or did you do smoothing else?" Klaus blushed a bit as he turned from her and waved his hand.

"Why would you ask that?"

"Nik."

"Fine, I got the nearest restaurant to allow me the use of their kitchen. Is it that bad?"

"No, its wonderful Nik. Just like when you first cooked for me. What are you up to?" Trixie eyed him as he sighed and put his fingers together in front of his chin before smiling a bit and looking at her slowly.

"Look, I know when I first met you I was hindered in my human side. Even though technically wolf it is still closer to a beating heart human than a vampire. I never knew what this was." He motioned between her and him as she chuckled a bit.

"You never knew there was something there huh? And now you want to try and see what it is? I get it, you are flirting." Trixie looked at the table again as she started to understand the romantic gesture that Klaus had done. She smiled as she reached across the table and gripped his hand.

"Well, I guess technically yes that is what this is."

"Nik, I know you are wondering what I was talking about that night, I wonder myself a lot. But doing this here isnt going to make me feel more for you then I already do. I know you Nik, I know the good and the bad. I know the evil and the angelic. I have seen you not only cry but kill. There is nothing you could show me that I dont already know. I cant say there is nothing between us, there might be but until I see and talk to Kol about everything Nik you are going to have to go easy on me. I tried to get you to understand what we were back in the day, when you only wanted the power and fear of others. Now, with both of your sides free, I want to see what can become...but not if its going to harm Kol. You werent there Nik you didnt hear the witch. Both sides must agree and must be compatible or neither will have me. I wont lose you both because of a hasty mistake." Klaus watched as she tried to get him to understand exactly what she was trying to say and as he softened and smiled she sighed with relief.

"I understand Trixie. I wont stop trying, but I will never push you. Not until youre ready." he kissed the back of her hand and nodded tot he food. She smiled as she continued to eat and looking around the room, it was a regal hotel room but the bed was calling her name. As she got finished eating, Klaus smiled to her as she stretched and went to get ready for bed. He sat and waited or her to come out of the bathroom but while she was in there he was thinking and hard. He knew that soon he would have to bring Kol around, he wanted his brother to understand as well that now that he could feel what she was talking about he wasnt going to keep Klaus away from her. He had seen a different side to Trixie these past few months and even though he knew he loved her before, he could never place a finger on why. Now, he was determined more than ever to have her ad if it took Kol to agree to that he would be damned if he told him no. Trixie came back out and as she smiled he pulled the covers back and let her get comfortable before sliding in behind her and pulling her tight to his chest. She huffed a bit but settled down as he wrapped his arm around her waist and let her drift off into sleep. He smiled and kissed her temple as she nuzzled against her pillow. Soon, he would have to get things right, he didnt know how much longer he could do this with her without loosing control.
