Iris groaned and blindly reached out slamming her hand down shutting the alarm off
"Iris wake up" she was literally thrown out of her bed
"Rebekah go away" Iris shouted curling up on the floor "I don't want to go to school"
"Well tough, I want to see where these little humans go to fill up their empty heads" the raven head merely groaned "If you don't your little arse up I'll go chew on the paper boy"
"Go ahead, he's a little shit anyway, always trying to hit me with the paper"
"IRIS" Rebekah yelled
"Fine" the raven head huffed and pouted walking into her bathroom but immediately walked out "there's a claw foot bathtub in my bathroom"
"I know I'd decided to put it there, there's another in the guest bathroom" Rebekah replied and much to Iris's mortification the blond was rummaging through her underwear drawer
"What the-"
"Glad we don't need to go shopping for panties Iris, you've got good taste"
"Ok shoo, shoo" Iris waved her away "Go get ready"
Rebekah smirked as she pulled out her cell "What are, you're taking pictures of my underwear?" she yelled and lunged towards the blond but she easily dodge the petite teen
"Sending it to Nic of course-"
"That's weird you sending pictures of my knickers to your brother" Iris commented from her spot on the floor
"It'll piss him off" Rebekah uttered
"Send it then" Iris snorted causing the blond to laugh, she got up
"Oh Rebekah" she called just before entering the bathroom, "at least tell me before you put stuff in the house"
"Will do" Rebekah nodded but as soon as Iris closed the bathroom door, she laughed "Oh Iris, you so don't want to see what I've done to your living room" she murmured and headed out of the room to get ready herself.
Iris stripped out of her clothes and chucked it in the hamper, she quickly turned the shower faucet on. She showered quickly and dried herself off and wrapped her towel around herself.
The raven head exited the bathroom and quickly slipped on her underwear and then proceeded to rummage through her closet, she opted to wear a pair of light denim skinny jeans and an olive green top. Iris quickly brushed her hair and decided to let it loose.
She entered the kitchen and saw the blond sucking on a blood bag
"Where'd you get that from?" Iris asked making some tea
"From the Salvatores" she replied, Iris quirked an eyebrow "fine I took it, or in your words I borrowed it without permission, but I in fact have no intention of giving it back"
Iris couldn't help but laugh "fair enough" she pushed a mug of tea towards her "something to wash it down with"
"Thanks"
"So you're not a cook?"
"Unlike Elijah I don't cook, mother always tried to teach me, but you constantly dragged me away-"
"You don't sound too broken up about it" Iris commented buttering her toast, and groaned when the vampire snatched it off of her and took a bite
"That's because I'm not, I like you prefer spending my time learning how to sword fight and archery" she blanched all of a sudden "Ergh, and so this is what people eat now?"
"Yes, and if you would have let me finish it would have tasted much better" Iris then snatched it off of her, and spread some strawberry jam over it and handed it back to Rebekah she waited a moment
"Hmm" she groaned "Taste sweet"
"Well why you enjoy your toast I'll get my things, do-"
"I'm not stepping foot in that thing you call a car" Rebekah scoffed
Iris pouted "why does everyone hate my car?"
"Because it's ugly, come we're taking my car"
"You don't even freaking drive it, I feel like a chauffeur" she huffed walking out to get her school bag, Rebekah rolled her eyes and followed after her
Iris pulled out of the drive way as Rebekah reached forward to fiddle with the radio, both girls jumped when rap music blasted out of the speakers
"Bloody hell" Rebekah shouted and slammed her hand down on the volume's dial "oops" the blond uttered when she had smashed the radio. Iris laughed loudly
"Oh that's funny"
"Alright enough" Rebekah scoffed "just not use to the 21th century"
"I can see"
"Don't be an arse Iris, it doesn't suit you" the blond lightly shoved her. They were about two miles away from the school when Rebekah had demanded for Iris to stop the car
"Why?"
The vampire merely smirked "I want to make an entrance" and with that she blurred away
"And you couldn't do that with a freaking sports car" Iris muttered under her breath.
Iris pulled up to the school but parked furthest away not wanting to draw any attention to herself.
She climbed out of the car but not before grabbing her messenger bag. She spotted Elena, Caroline and Bonnie at the entrance and jogged over to them
"Hey" Iris smiled
"Iris" Caroline grinned "how are you? We didn't get to see you after-"
"Yeah, well I survived" she shouldered her bag "So prank night didn't go completely to plan"
"We should just move on" Caroline uttered
"You're right" Bonnie nodded "why should I let the fact that my boyfriend is seeing the ghost of his dead girlfriend hinder this experience?"
"Oh you found out then?" Iris asked
"Yeah and Jeremy told me that he made you promise not to tell you so it's fine" Bonnie added, causing the raven head to sigh in relied
"You knew?" Elena asked "and you didn't say anything?"
"Yeah, well Jeremy trusted me and he didn't want me involve so" she shrugged her shoulders. "You know it's been a year since I've been here" Iris muttered looking up at the school, recalling Klaus's words, she had year of this and then he would take her away when the time calls for it
"It's our anniversary" Elena whispered "It's also been a year since I've met Stefan"
"Ok, enough with this depressive talk, let's go in and start a new year" Caroline grinned as they walked inside.
Iris headed towards her locker with Elena since the brunette's locker was also in the same direction, she heard Elena's cell ringing
"Damon" the brunette smiled, Iris inaudibly sigh wondering if what Caroline had said earlier was true was the doppelganger switching Salvatore brothers.
"What? Yeah ok" Elena frowned looking at Iris
"What?" she asked
"When were you going to mention the fact that Klaus's sister is living with you?" she hissed
"What- Damon" she muttered
"Yes Damon, so?"
"I don't see how it's any business of yours who lives in my home" Iris snapped back
"It has everything to do with me, she's only here because they need my blood-"
"Merlin you can be a selfish cow sometimes" Iris frowned "it's not just you Elena, both our blood can be used to create hybrids"
"How can you let her stay with you?" Elena shook her head, Iris fumbled with her locker
"Easy she asked I agreed" she replied casually
"Iris, these are Original vampires-"
"Don't you think I know that, I spent the summer with one who is determined to create more of his kind"
"I don't understand, after everything that went down with Jenna, and what he did to Stefan you're still so-"
"What?"
"Normal, generous with them, acting like nothing happened" Elena glared at her. Iris's eyes narrowed on the brunette
"Well Elijah stayed with me before, and now Rebekah is, thing is Elena you've got to get it through to your head that me and Originals have a history together-and I'm not completely sure about it but we did, they treated me well, in case you haven't realised Rebekah has done nothing to harm me, and neither did Elijah" she slammed the locker door shut and went to walk towards the History classroom but looked over her shoulder
"Think about it like this, as long as Rebekah stays with me she won't be going near the Salvatore boarding house, ergo she won't be near Damon or Stefan"
Iris headed towards the classroom and bumped into Stefan who gripped on to her shoulders
"Iris" Stefan smirked
"Stefan, I'm seeing that Klaus turned you into a complete dick now" she drawled having been told by Caroline what happened to the younger vampire
"Careful Iris" he leant forward to whisper into her ear "I might just have a little taste if you-"
"Merlin I haven't been in your company for five minutes and yet you came across as an arse immediately" she winced when his hold only tightened
"I know you're just putting up a front, you're scared really"
"Of you?" Iris cocked an eyebrow; she patted his cheek "hate to break it to you dear, but I found things far scarier than you"
"Hmm, you're fun when you're being feisty" Stefan lightly pulled her hair; she stiffened when she saw him leaning forward his lips brushed her throat.
"What are you doing Stefan?" Elena came up behind her
"Nothing just chatting to Iris" he stepped back with a smirk
"Why are you even here?" the raven head asked
"I'm going back to school, Iris just like you" Stefan replied, Iris quirked an eyebrow "Klaus wants me to keep an eye on both of you"
"Fine whatever, just move" Iris went to step pass him but he grabbed her upper arm halting her in her steps
"Stef-"
"You're-"
"Just let go of me" the raven head snapped trying to wrench her arm away
"Stefan let her go" Elena snapped "we're going to be late" he just grab Elena's arm as well
"Let them go" Alaric intervened coming over towards them, Stefan abruptly pushed both girls back but grabbed Alaric but the collar of his throat
"Stefan what the hell are you doing?" Iris hissed,
"Just talking to Ric, you're not going to get in my way are you?" the vampire snapped at the hunter, who nodded and then was shoved away, Iris licked her lips and saw that they had grabbed most of the students in the hallway's attention "See you in history" and with that he strolled away.
Iris went to walk towards her class but Elena grabbed her wrist
"Do you see?" the brunette hissed "what Klaus has done? He's not a good person Iris, like me you're nothing but just a blood bag" she stormed away
Leaving Iris behind, she was revaluating her and Klaus's dynamic relationship, was the brunette right? Did she mean nothing to the hybrid? He had told her she had, but then again Klaus was an excellent liar.
Iris bit her bottom lip hard; she wondered was she being used again. Yet she and the Originals knew each other.
"Iris?" Alaric called "you ok?"
"Yeah why?" the raven head asked
"Well the bells rang and you're still standing here" the teacher commented
"Oh shoot I'm late for English" with a fleeting goodbye Iris ran down the hallway towards the classroom.
"Iris you've got History" Alaric shouted amused when the small raven head ran back "sorry Ric it's just-"
"Yeah I get it, you've had a lot on your mind" he ushered her into the classroom, she looked around and saw that the others had paired off, she also noted that Stefan was sitting next to a very much annoyed looking Elena. She internally sighed and dropped down on an empty chair at the side of the room.
"Well let's start shall we? Senior year, so you guys might actually have to listen this semester" Alaric said earning a few chuckles, "now let's turn our brains back on by starting with the Original founders-"
"Again?" Iris called out
"Not entirely Iris, but the native Americans" Alaric uttered as he wrote on the chalkboard
"What about the Vikings?" Rebekah asked strolling into the room, causing everyone to look at her she dropped down besides Iris
"Well there's no actual evidence that the Vikings explorers settled in the United States" Alaric said to the blond with a frown "who are you by the way?"
"My name is Rebekah and I'm new and History is my favourite subject" the Original smirked, Iris didn't miss the panic looks on Elena, Caroline and Bonnie's faces
"Merlin you sure do know how to make an entrance" Iris muttered
"Thanks Sweets" Rebekah winked, Iris snorted but turned it into a hacking cough when she saw that they had gotten the attention from the rest of the class
"Iris?" Alaric frowned
"Oh erm…well…" she trailed off not knowing what to say, she didn't miss the looks she was getting from the doppelganger, the vampire and the witch
"She was explaining the time table to me, since I asked" Rebekah covered for her seeing the raven head flushed face
"Right so…" Alaric carried on with his lecture
"Still get easily flustered Iris" Rebekah drawled to the raven head
"And you've still think that your mouth can get you out of anything" Iris whispered back
When the bell rang Iris grabbed her books and shoved it in her bag
"So what'd you got?" she asked the blond.
"Hmm, whatever you have I gather"
"Wait you've got the same timetable?" Iris cocked an eyebrow
"Is that so hard to believe?" Rebekah asked as they waited for the other students to file out
"Not really, so why are-"
"Practically stalking you?"
Iris grinned at that "Yeah that"
"Well I have to hang around to keep an eye on Stefan, Nic gave me a choice whether to tale you or the bitchy doppelganger"
"Ah, so-"
"Iris enough chit chat, let's go" and then she proceeded to grab the petite girl's hand dragging her out of the classroom passing Elena and the others
"Since when did Iris become best friends with her?" Bonnie hissed
"No clue, that summer with Klaus and Stefan must've screwed with her mind" Caroline muttered.
Iris grabbed her tray of food and headed outside into the courtyard. She grinned spotting Caroline and Bonnie as well as Elena
"Hey" Iris smiled at them placing her tray down she went to sit down but Elena placed her bag on the seat "What's up?"
"Iris we've been talking" Bonnie started "and the thing is we've noticed that Rebekah seems to follow you wherever you go-"
"Yeah well she's new and we've got the same time table so-"
"No you don't get it Iris, if you're here she'll come and I just want a break from all of this Original and I don't want to deal with her, so could you go sit somewhere else?" Elena asked, Iris licked her lips and forced a smile on her
"Erm sure…I'll just see you later" she mumbled and turned on her heel looking for elsewhere to sit. She thought it was already happening the people she called friends would soon enough leave her behind
Iris spotted a table near the large tree; she settled herself there and played with her food
"Why do I feel so bad?" Caroline murmured watching the raven head
"It's for the best" Elena said nodding her head
Iris picked out her food with a frown on her face; she looked up when a shadow overcast her
"If you keep your face like that, you'll get wrinkles" Rebekah sat down beside her
"Haven't you heard I can't age" Iris muttered, the blonde reached out and grabbed half of the sandwich
"Hmm I was there when Gloria read out the prophecy, must say I'm quiet delighted at that" a smile came across the raven head's face
"You're not a total bitch then, you can be nice"
Rebekah smirked "only to those who I find worthy of my kindness, we was like sisters you and I, perhaps we can get that back?"
Iris smiled "Hmm perhaps" she nodded
The sun was baring down on them, Iris tucked one of her stray curls behind her ear
"So why aren't you with your boring little friends?"
"Is everyone boring to you?" Iris asked
"No, there are a few exceptions, so tell me"
"I don't really-"Rebekah's hand slammed down her leg
"Iris, I can read you like a book, so tell me what those snooty little cows said, or do you simply want me to ask and then rip their heads off"
Iris rolled her eyes "You can't kill Elena or the-"
"Others, there are your friends right?" the blond interrupted
"Yes so-"
"Yet they treat you like that? I may have been locked in a box Iris for more than a few decades, but even I know you don't treat friends or those you care for like that" Iris cast her a curious look
"You had friends-"Iris feigned surprised making Rebekah laugh loudly
"Quick witted as ever" Rebekah murmured "so?" she nodded towards the group of girls and Stefan who were still sitting there "by the way they're doing a completely rubbish job of spying"
Iris lips twitched in amusement
"Iris" the blond snapped "tell me"
"Fine" Iris rolled her eyes "they don't want to deal with all this Original business, so-"
"They tossed you out of there pathetic little group-"
"No they just need time to get back to normal after last night" Iris defended them "can you blame them? They-"
"They're foolish creatures Iris, I told you once before don't forgive to easy-"
"They've done nothing to me" Iris frown her food laid forgotten
"Hardly nothing, they're playing with your emotions, dragging you along and once they get what they want from you they'll just dump you" Rebekah declared staring into bright emerald orbs. She saw the disheartened look on the small raven head's face, she sighed and lightly tilted Iris's chin up
"Iris I don't want you to make the same mistake you once did a thousand years ago-"
"Which was?" Iris asked
"It'll come soon enough to you"
"How?"
"Frome here" she lightly tapped the pale girl's temple "It'll come and you'll wish you wouldn't remember, tread carefully with the doppelganger, they are a deceitful lot"
"She's not Katherine" Iris murmured
"Hmm, time will soon tell though"
"I guess"
"Iris" Caroline bounced over to her,
"Talking to me now?" the raven head drawled
"Look I'm sorry, it's just Elena's got a lot on her plate with Stefan and she's fragile-"
"It's fine" Iris smiled reassuringly at her, the blond didn't do anything wrong "I can't believe I'm here doing this again"
"You had fun the last time" Caroline chuckled
"Cheerleading? I stood at the back pretending-"
"You pretended?" Caroline literally shrieked
"Joke, joke" Iris spoke over her, the blond narrowed her eyes at her, but petite teen merely whistle and looked away "So-"
"Did you know Rebekah set Tyler up with a blood bag?"
"That's a good thing?" Iris muttered, Caroline scoffed and shook her head
"No it isn't, she's trying to move on to my guy"
"Is that vampire possessiveness coming out of you Caroline Forbes?" Iris grinned
The blond merely rolled her eyes.
"Has anyone seen Dana?" a cheerleader called, Iris looked away from the girl.
There was no reply
"Well I guess there's a spot for me to join" Rebekah walked forwards, Iris's eyebrows shot to her hairline wondering when the Original became interested in this type of thing, but then again she was a teenage girl
"Well I don't think we need you so-"
"She can have my spot" Iris shouted out
"What?" Caroline glared at her
The raven head rolled her eyes "I hare cheerleading, I was going to join the History project thingy that Ric wants to start up so she can have my spot"
"Fine, Iris you're off the team"
"Yes" Iris grinned and practically skipped away much to Caroline's mortification and Rebekah's amusement.
Iris dropped down on to the stands and watched as the team gathered she could easily spot Rebekah who looked like she was showing off, with cartwheels and splits.
"What are you doing here?" Elena asked dropping down besides Iris
"Watching Rebekah infiltrate everyone's lives, must say the vampire knows how to show off-"
"Iris I don't understand about you and the Originals" Elena frowned
"What part exactly? Easy enough to understand, I was created a thousand years ago where according to Elijah and Klaus I've met them, but when they turned to vampires something happened" the brunette witnessed the frown marred on the raven head's face
"What happened?"
"Honestly I don't remember"
"This is unbelievable" Elena shook her head
"Anything is possible Elena" Iris calmly told her "So how are you dealing with Stefan?"
"Truthfully he's not- he really is gone Iris—"
"Stefan lost his way, sooner or later he'll come back hopefully" she said wisely.
"Maybe he would faster with a little help"
"Elena-"
"I'll call you later"
Iris watched her walk away and glanced at the time, she should be heading inside for Biology she grabbed her bag and waved over to Rebekah who nodded at her.
It was finally at the end of the day and Iris was currently taking some books from her locker she jumped nearly out of her skin when a hand slammed down on her shoulder
"Merlin what- oh what do you want?" she frowned seeing it was Damon
"Iris-"
"Not in the mood, so if you-"
"Could you just listen to me" he snapped grabbing her wrists as she went to walk pass him
"What? Like the way you heard me out last night" she spat
"Ok, I'm sorry I say stupid things when I'm mad, I should have known you wouldn't have told Klaus-"
"You know he nearly tore my throat out when he came" she admitted
"Yeah I heard" he leant forward rested his temple against hers, and idly ran his fingers through her thick curls "I am sorry. Do you forgive me?"
Iris licked her lips, she couldn't stay mad at Damon, in an odd way he reminded her of him, unpredictable outburst of anger but she had better control
"I can't stay mad out you, you arrogant prat" she grinned at him, he chuckled and lightly kissed the tip of her nose
"Damon? Iris?" Elena appearing at the end of the hallway her eyes darting between the two. Iris was oblivious to the looks the brunette was shooting her.
"So you told her then?"
"Told me what?"
"Well you know how you said Stefan lost his way; he needs a reminder of who he is?" Elena asked, Iris gave her an unsure nod "well it gave me an idea, come on"
Elena strolled away with Damon on her heels
"Come on flower" he yelled, she sighed wondering what on earth she was going to get into
"Fine I'm coming"
"So-"
"Iris, what are you doing here?" Alaric asked seeing the raven head come in
"Search me, all I got was some master plan about Stefan" she hopped onto the front desk "and apparently everyone is in on it" her brows furrowed seeing Caroline coming in to the room
"So what's the plan?" the blond asked
"Well" Elena began "I will lure Stefan away from the bonfire then when he's in distracted-"
"I'll shoot him" Alaric finished off
"Wait there's a bonfire tonight?" Iris asked
"Honestly didn't you listen at lunch-"
"Kind of hard since you guys literally kicked me off the table" the raven head muttered
"Oops, sorry" Caroline said embarrassed
"What?" Damon snapped narrowing his eyes; he noted Caroline and Elena faces.
"Nothing" Iris covered "so bonfire, wonderful"
"Can't Bonnie, just juju him?" Damon asked
"Is that even a real word?" the raven asked, Damon rolled his eyes and blurred behind Alaric's desk, before Iris could blink the dark haired vampire was in front of her smirking
"Really Damon? Taping her mouth shut?" Alaric questioned
"What? She talks too much" he grinned and ruffled her hair, Iris swatted his hand away he could tell that she was pouting, she went to take the tape off but he blurred once again and now he had taped her wrist together forcing her hands behind her back
"Damon-"
"What; I'll take it off before we leave; now you be a good little girl ok?" Damon asked mockingly, Iris in response kicked him hard in the shins causing him to groan
"Can we just pay attention?" Elena snapped
"So Bonnie-"
"No we can't, I'm trying to keep Bonnie out of this I don't trust Stefan won't hurt her" Elena replied "Caroline are you covered?"
"Yes" the perky blond nodded "I'll make sure that the old Forbes cellar is prepped and ready"
"You're forgetting the key player Rebekah" Damon drawled and could see Iris fidgeting in the corner of his eye "Wherever Stefan or in fact Iris go the blond ponytail seems to follow them-"
"She's not that bad" Iris's muffled voice came out and tilted too far to the side and landed on the ground, the petite raven head let out a groan
"You know Damon you can be a dick" Alaric muttered and hurried over to the raven head he helped her sit up and tore the tapes off of her, and then ripped the tape off of her mouth
"Oww" Iris whined rubbing her lips, Alaric lightly gripped her chin
"It's not that bad" the hunter murmured under breath.
"Damon's an arsehole" Iris muttered as Alaric helped her onto her feet
"You've got that right"
"So, Rebekah?" Caroline asked bringing the topic back on to the point.
"It's your job to keep her away" Elena said "Or Iris-"
"Nope, no and no I want nothing to do with your plan" Iris held up her hands
"Iris seriously can't-"
"Leave it Elena, if she doesn't want to do it don't force her to" Alaric snapped cutting the brunette off, Iris sent a grateful look towards the history teacher who winked.
"How am I meant to keep her away then?" Damon asked
"Preoccupy her with your charm" Elena retorted.
"We'll probably have better luck with a dagger" Iris and Alaric said in unison then burst out laughing
"Ha, ha very funny" the vampire glared at them and shoved Iris off of the desk
"Arsehole" Iris groaned as Alaric once again helped her on to her feet
"Are you ever going to stop being mad at me?" Damon asked the hunter.
"Doubtful" Alaric snapped
"Plus you was a douche for what you did to him" Iris muttered
Before Damon could respond Tyler walked in "Sorry I'm late, what'd I missed?"
"We need to raid you mom's vervaine supply" Elena replied "Enough to keep Stefan down for a while"
Iris shook her head wondering was they serious.
"You can't do that to Stefan" Tyler said, Iris's eyebrows shot up at this she thought, and that the hybrid would've been up for it.
"Why not?" Caroline asked as Iris jumped back on to a desk which was further away from Damon and closer to Alaric, she swung her legs back and forth
"Trust me Tyler, it's in his best interest" Elena reassured him, Iris canted her head and studied the newly transitioned hybrid, something was different about him.
"But it's not for Klaus"
Iris leant forward confusion marring his face, when the hell did Tyler becomes so loyal to Klaus?
"But Klaus is the bad guy" Caroline snapped,
"Not completely" Iris muttered under her breath, both vampires heard her and sent her a glare, she merely rolled her eyes
"Would you rather watch Stefan kill us all Tyler? Me, Elena or even Iris?" Caroline asked
"No but-"
"Plus Stefan can't really touch me or Elena so-"
"Iris" Elena warned her,
"If you guys think before you do something you actually realise that this is quiet beneficial-"
"Stefan isn't Stefan anymore" Elena shouted. Iris felt anger bubbling up in her
"Fine, do your stupid plan" she stormed out of the room.
"What the hell is going on with Iris?"
"She's confused" Damon murmured, Alaric brows furrowed concerned for the raven head
"No she isn't it's obvious isn't it?" Elena said "She's obviously changed, she's loyal to him-"
"Because she knew him" Caroline defended the absent petite teen "We don't know what's going on in her head and so it's not fair to make assumptions"
"If you say so, but sooner or later I think she's going to turn on us" the brunette muttered
"Well if you keep treating her the way you have been for the last year, can you blame her?" Alaric snapped
"What? Ric-"
"He's right Elena, you forced her to actually go through with the sacrifice when she didn't want to, and then we ditched her how many times I don't know, but yet she still forgives and brushes off the apologies" Caroline told her
There was a moment of silence, then Damon cleared his throat "so the plan?"
Iris pulled up the car onto her driveway and spotted the blond Original on her porch
"Where did you run off to?" Rebekah asked as they walked inside
"Somewhere that's given me a huge headache" Iris muttered dropping her messenger bag on to the desk
"Well now that you're home we can get ready for the bonfire"
Iris eyes snapped up to the blond she recalled parts of tonight's plan and one aspect was to keep Rebekah away, she felt sorry for Elena so would try to keep the blond distracted if she could, but if she couldn't she'll keep an eye on her.
"Why don't we just stay in? a nice girly night in-"
"Hmm, we can do that a different night, I never been to a high school bonfire" Iris could see the excited look on the blond girl's face and inwardly sighed "Come on Iris-"
"Sure, let's go" Iris smiled at her
"Great, it's starts at-"
"6" Iris finished off
"Great gives you enough time to get out that ensemble" her nose scrunched up at the sight of Iris's clothes,
"What's wrong with my clothes?"
"Everything" Rebekah drawled, Iris threw a pillow at the vampire who easily dodged out of the way
"I forgot how lovely you are" Iris called over her shoulder as she climbed up the stairs
"Love you to Iris" she could Rebekah laughing.
Iris couldn't help but smile, she had missed having someone around her age staying with her. Plus truth be told she actually liked the blond.
Iris shut her bedroom door behind her and stripped out of her clothes, she pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans, and a sequined top. She brushed her hair and clipped some of it away from her face, she pulled on a pair of her ballet pumps and grabbed her leather jacket
"Iris, come on" Rebekah yelled "you're so slow"
Iris rolled her eyes "We don't all have super speed you know" she muttered, Rebekah scoffed and grabbed her by the wrist
"Aren't we taking the car?"
"Nope this'll be fun-"
"You do realise that if we do the whole running thing, your shoes will get ruined?" Iris pulled out the car keys from her pocket
"Hmm, hadn't thought about that you're driving-"
"Yeah because you can't" Iris muttered unlocking the car door
"So I'll catch you later Iris, and don't get into any trouble, don't want Nic to skin me alive" Rebekah shouted over the throngs of students, the raven head saw her making a bee line towards the beer pump where Stefan and Elena was.
Iris pushed her way through the crowd and managed to get herself a bottle of beer, she dropped onto a log by the fire.
Iris recalled the last time she had been around a fire like this was when she was with Klaus, in some weird way the raven head missed him.
She jumped out of her skin when her phone rung, Iris frowned and answered she didn't recognise the number
"Hello?"
"Well hello sweetheart" she head an accented voice.
Iris couldn't help but smile "Klaus" she replied oblivious to the vampires in the surrounding area who was shooting her alarmed looks
"What?" Elena asked Caroline seeing her female vampire friend quiet befuddled
"It's Iris, she's talking to Klaus-"
"What?" Elena asked wide eye and immediately looked over to the raven head, she didn't miss the smile on her face
"Why so surprise?" Rebekah drawled causing both teens to jump
"Well Iris sounds like she's having fun with you psycho brother" Caroline crossed her arm in front of her chest
"Hmm perhaps it's because she is?" and without another word she strolled away,
"So what's going in Mystic Falls love?" Klaus asked "I can hear music and teenagers chatting"
"Hmm, there's a bonfire tonight beginning of the year thing" Iris replied kicking her shoes into the dirt
"Sounds like you're not having fun?"
Iris sighed "It's ok, but I rather be at home honestly"
"Then just leave"
"Not that simple Klaus, I told Elena, Caroline and-"
"Stop thinking about them, think about yourself for once love" he barked
She frowned and went silent, Klaus sighed on the other end
"Iris love, just don't let them push you around-"
"What the way you do?" she snapped into the phone, Iris stood up and headed further away into the woods so she could hear him better.
"I don't tell you-"
Iris let out a loud laugh "don't lie Klaus, ever since we began this hybrid thingy mission you've been telling me what to do"
Klaus chuckled "I never force you to do anything love"
Iris slumped against the tree "Fine I'll give you that, so what've you been up to, using mine and Elena's blood to your full satisfaction?"
"If you're insinuating that I'm making my-"
"Slaves"
"Soldiers" he spoke over her "I manage to locate a pack, so-"
"So what?"
"I'll be returning soon love"
Iris hummed and nodded but froze when she heard a twig snap, she spun around on her heel but saw nothing there
"Iris?"
"Yeah I'm here" she felt something in the air, something supernatural
"So has Rebekah driven you up the wall yet?"
"Contrary to your beliefs Klaus, Rebekah isn't that bad, can be bratty and a bit spoilt but other than that perfectly fine" she defended female Original
"Ah that's my girl, you and Rebekah are-"
"Are you always such a smart mouth?"
"Besides being smart, my mouth can do many, many things" she could picture the cocky smirk on his face
"Enough Klaus" Iris cut him off laughing "So…-" Iris frowned and looked up she felt the wind hitting her full force and several branches literally being bashed around,
"So I take it that your little friends didn't take to well to you being a host to Rebekah"
Iris scoffed at that "Understatement, you know I was thrown off the lunch table?" she kicked a rock
"What?" Klaus voice grew low
"It's nothing we're fine now" she muttered.
"Iris-"
"Please just leave it, they're my friends and-"
"You need to revaluate your friends love" he drawled, Iris giggled
"Hmm, that's not happening any time soon"
"Well, time will tell soon enough, got to love don't get into any trouble"
"Goodbye Klaus" she murmured, "I…erm…I-"
"I miss you too"
"I don't" she pouted
"Obviously you do" he answered back, she could tell that he was grinning.
"Bye Klaus" Iris hanged up, she chuckled under her breath and pocketed her phone, the raven head made her way back to the party but stopped something felt off, she jumped when there was another sound of the twig snapping
"Hello?" she called out "If it's you Rebekah you're not funny" she shouted and jumped when there the wind howled, a frown marred her face when a large branch snapped off and crashed down in front of her "what the?" there was a loud snap Iris looked up she gasped seeing a heavy thick branch fell Iris held up her arms to protect her head but she was slammed back into the dirt.
Iris gasped
"You do have the worst luck don't you?" Rebekah commented hovering above her
"What happened?"
"No clue" Iris was hauled to her feet she brushed the dirt off of her
"Serious?"
Iris shook her head
"So what've you been up to?" they were trekking back to the bonfire
"Not much I skewered Damon"
Iris eyes widened at that "What the- why?"
"It's Damon Salvatore, do I need any other reason?" she asked, Iris lips twitched at that
"Fair enough"
"Let's go, party has thinned out"
Iris nodded and they headed towards the car.
AN: Some Rebekah and Iris moments, Klaus made a brief cameo (on the phone) Elena, Caroline and Bonnie aren't exactly being friendly and once again Iris forgave Damon (she can't help it). Alaric is sticking up for her though
