Mystic Falls

(Damon POV)

"Damon, what do you think we should do on Sunday? Would you mind going for a walk in the park?" Lily asked me. I was actually beginning to like watching her try to be a person. Elena's way was actually working. I had three more weeks before Stefan came home.

"Sure. Elena what do you think? A walk in the park?"

"I'd love to, come Bonnie. Let's go." I got in the car and waited for them to buckle in. I was driving.

(Tyler POV)

We had just come home from church and were now sitting around watching TV. I still hurt from yesterday. I'm never going against their rules, whether Dad is home or not, again. I rolled over and looked at Uncle Kol.

"Can we go to a park or something?"

"Yes we-"

"No you cannot. Tomorrow we'll be going somewhere I promise. In fact are you not the one who is supposed to set up Monday Tyler?" Daddy answered.

"But I'm bored!" I complained.

"Then change the channel or play some board game or you might read. Either one of those is fine however you are not leaving this house." I glared at him and looked back at the television. "Do not give me an attitude Tyler. I need not remind you what happens." I got up and looked for some board game to play.

(Kol POV)

I looked at Nik and waited for him to say something. He looked at me but I looked away immediately. "What is it Kol?"

"Are you sure we can't leave the house? And why you might say we can't leave?"

"It's Sunday. Time to rest. Besides the last time I let you out. That is a pretty good reason. Don't worry, I'll take you out for dinner. Then we can go somewhere fun like the mall."

"We're not Rebekah, Nik. Why don't we go see Davina!" I sat up, smiling. He smiled back.

"Fine, go see Davina, I'm sure she'd love to meet Jeremy and Kai."

"Really?"

"No. Maybe for Dinner."

"I am just as bored…. Where's Marcel? Can we play with him?"

"Yes, I don't mind that but you can't leave the house."

"Yet Marcel can?"

"Yes. Leave it be Kol." I rolled my eyes.

"So where is he?"

"He is outside with Camille."

"Who's supposed to talk to you some time soon right? About how not to abuse children?" I actually got him to laugh.

"Right." I laughed at him.

"SEE! You abuse us!"

"You abuse yourselves." I gasped.

"I'm a monster!" I hit myself.. or tried to. Nik caught my fist.

"Kol, don't."

(Kai POV)

I was in my room, trying to get my magic back again. It wasn't working and I was getting nothing but angry. What the hell did Damon do to me? I sat down but jumped back up, yelping from the pain. I had been laying on my back lately. I rubbed my bottom for the third time today.

Klaus was mean. I shook my head. No he wasn't mean he just didn't know what he was doing. 'Or was it you who didn't know what you were doing? You could really have hurt them.' I pulled out my bag and looked in there for something to do but all I had was herbs and books. I pulled out the books when I heard someone come in my room.

I looked over to see Tyler. "What are you looking for Tyler?"

"Something to play. I'm not allowed out of the house today. Do you know how annoying that is?"

"Why don't you just leave anyway?"

"Heck no. I can't even think that without being scolded."

"Yet I can?"

"No, but you're not even trying anything. You're just sitting up here doing things. What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just reading." I replied, lifting my book in the air. He looked at it before going to the closet and looking through it. I put my book back and looked too. I found a few games but he didn't take them.

"Sorry, I'll keep looking." I nodded and went back to my book.

(Jeremy POV)

I was playing Sims on my phone while Kol flipped through the channels repeatedly, never actually staying somewhere long enough to hear the show. He eventually flopped himself on the couch and turned it to Pandora where he found the artist Eminem and listened, still bored.

I threw my game at him. "Play that. I'm sure something can make you happy."

"Six Flags." He smiled at me before playing on my game and then going to the internet. "Let's see what we can find why don't we? What… is… the… best… game… to… play… inside… after… lunch." He looked at his results and sighed. "Stupid Internet."

"Jenga. You play with blocks and put them back on top and hope it doesn't fall. We all take turns doing it over and over until it falls and then that person is out of the game." He smiled.

"Sounds fun." I nodded. "Go find the other two. I'll find the blocks." I got up to go find Tyler and Kai.

(Kol POV)

I found the blocks in my closet and pulled them out, setting them up on the most wobbliest of tables and sat down, making sure not to knock them over. Nik was too busy talking to Elijah and Rebekah to notice. I laughed… which made them fall. I built it back up and sat as still as possible, which was also hard. I waited for them to come downstairs and play with us.

(Tyler POV)

I was looking for my DS when I heard Jeremy come in. "Hey Tyler, Kol and I found a game you'd love to play. Jenga, do you remember it?" I nodded and he went on. "Kol has the game set up already. Would you like to play too?"

"Sure, I'll play. It's better than nothing."

"Kol even put on Pandora so we can listen to music while we play." I followed Jeremy out of my room and onto find Kai. He would love this game. Or hopefully he would love this game. We found him in his room. He was reading his book like he said he was going to. He even had herbs out. He was burning sage. Isn't that a quiet spell or something?

"Hey Kai, wanna play Jenga? It's this game where-"

"I know what Jenga is Jeremy. Sure why not? We weren't allowed to play a game yesterday. So who starts first on Jenga, since you know so much." He looked up from his book for once since we walked in.

"You don't have to be mean Kai." He rolled his eyes at me and stared at Jeremy.

"I don't actually remember the rules to the game…. Is that bad?"

"No. Rules aren't even part of the game. Most games that don't have rules are more fun than those that do." He got up, marking his place in the book and followed us down to the table Kol was sitting at. I was kind of surprised he could.

(Kai POV)

I sat down next to Kol and Jeremy sat next to him on the other side. Tyler sat across from Kol. I caught the tower, it almost fell over… "These are not Jenga bricks. And this table is wobbly." I got up and moved to a different table.

"Kai.Play nice."

"But he's right, the table is wobbly." Tyler replied. I smiled. Two against one.

"Then move the bricks but you don't need Jenga bricks just 54 bricks will do the trick."

"OH! I know! Let's play Monopoly!" Kol replied. "That's a better game anyway."

"OR we could play Life?" Jeremy suggested.

"Why not both?" Klaus asked. They cheered and Tyler started setting up Monopoly first, changing it from Eminem to Imagine Dragons while he worked. After a while Tyler lifted his head from setting up the board.

"Done. Come choose the tokens you guys want. I'll go last, also I'll be the banker. So let's get this game over before dinner. Then we can play Life after dinner." Klaus smiled before sitting down to watch us play. Tyler read the rules to us before we started the game.

"8." Kol called.

"6." Jeremy called.

"A 3?" I complained.

"11." Tyler said, sounding proud. He rolled again after taking his piece, which was Obi-Wan because we had the Star Wars version, and he went 6 spaces, landing on Bothawui. "I choose to buy which means I put in $100 the bank or free parking?"

"Free parking!" Kol replied. "Always." So he put the money in Free Parking.

"My turn is over. Kol goes next." Kol smiled, grabbed the dice and rolled, getting an 8 once again.

"Ruusan for $100, agreed! Yes! I win!"

"Not exactly Kol. Now Jeremy goes next." Jeremy rolled an 8, chose Cody and landed on Kol's title deed.

"Dang it. So how much do I owe?

"$6." Jeremy coughed up the money to Kol before I went for my turn.

"HAH! Doubles. I get 8… too. Then I get to go again." I chose Anakin, Kol had taken General Grievous. I paid Kol before moving on with another roll. I rolled a seven so I landed on The Resolute, which I bought. I mean everyone lands on it. Tyler moved again. Double ones or as some people call it, snake eyes. He had to pay Kol. Kol began to laugh.

"Everyone pays me money. I'll be rich in no time!" Tyler went again and landed on Jedi. He picked up the card and read.

"'You are captured by two super battle droids. Go to Jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect two hundred dollars.' I'm in jail. I'm innocent I tell you!" He put Obi in jail an the card under the deck again. "So I either roll doubles on my next three turns or I pay $50." Kol went again. Landing on a Jedi space.

"'Rescue a clone with a skilled dragonfly attack. Collect $10.' Tyler? Money please." He held out his hand and Tyler gave him the amount owed. Kol and Tyler played with the money until Kol was happy, changing ones for fives. Since he pointed out that wasn't against the rule book. "Nice doing business with you." He shook Tyler's hand before going back to the game. Jeremy rolled the dice.

He landed on the Teth System for $200. I took the dice and landed on The Malevolence, buying it. That was two out of four. I had to pay $200 but it was worth it and then Tyler rolled to get out of jail and failed. So Kol went next. He landed on doubles. 10. He landed with Florrum for $260 which he bought of course. He rolled again and got a 9. He landed on Ziro's Palace which he bought for $350.

Jeremy rolled a 6 and landed on my ship. He gave me $25. I rolled and got a 4 getting Vassek. I refused to pay for it so I set it up for auction since someone had to buy it according to the rules. Kol bought it for $500. Which means he has two properties of the same colour. Tyler rolled again and failed to get out of jail for the second time. Kol snatched the dice and rolled getting a two and landing on the other purple property which he bought too. Having to mortgage his Vassek. He sighed as he did so. I smiled, he was already into this game. Jeremy rolled and landed on Crystal City Plaza Centre and auctioned it because he didn't want to pay $300. I passed it up and so did Kol, he was trying to recover from his first round across the board. Tyler ended up buying it for $1. Because as I said, someone had to buy it when anyone landed on a property.

I rolled and landed on Ziro's Palace, giving Kol money and, since I had doubles, went again. I had a 4. I landed on Tatooine Dune Sea. I bought it because I don't see why I shouldn't. Kol bought the ones on the end before Go, maybe I'll get the ones after Go.

Tyler once again failed and paid his bond to get out of jail since he had to. He bought Teth Castle for $180. Kol rolled and landed on The Twilight for $200 but since he just got $200 he auctioned it and he was still trying to recover from his first round. I bought it for $100. That was when they realized they had to get the other one or let me have all four of the transportations. Kol used his new $200 to unmortgage his Vassek. Since Kol got doubles he went again. He auctioned the Toydaria System since it took more money than he had. Jeremy bought it for $10.

Jeremy went and landed on Jabba's Palace. He paid Kol $100 since he had both. Jer went again and landed on Tatooine System which Tyler bought for $50 since I was also bidding. I had chosen not to go that high. Instead I would keep it from Tyler until he had something I needed. I landed on Twilight but I had already bought it so Tyler went again.

He landed on Free Parking. He got the money that was there, which amounted to $2,761, which meant he was richer than all of us now. Kol groaned but Tyler had rolled double two and went again. I suppose he wanted that money. He landed on my Malevolence. He traded Kol money for his only light blue title and he accepted. He had handed over the $100s and $500s he'd gotten from the Parking.

"Since I knew you needed money Uncle Kol. But that means next time I need something you're going to help me." I smiled at that. I suppose he was learning from the Originals, isn't that the way they acted?

Kol rolled the dice next. He landed on Teth Jungle and auctioned it and Tyler and Jeremy fought for it until Kol whispered into Jeremy's ear. Tyler ended up buying it for $50. Kol smiled. "Now I don't owe you anything."

"Yeah but you owe me." Jeremy replied. I laughed. Kol's jaw dropped. "You just said you'd give me something if I let Tyler have the property." He sighed.

"If I must."

"You must." Jeremy went next and landed on Russan but before he could pay Kol did.

"Now I owe nothing to both of you." He rolled the dice for me before anything else could be done, both Tyler and Jeremy pouting. I rolled my eyes and went the number of spaces I was supposed to. I didn't have the money for Rishi so I auctioned it and Jeremy bought it for $60. Tyler rolled and went forward five spaces and went to Jail. Because he landed on the go to jail space. Why else?

"Apparently the game also thinks you don't deserve to go outside because that is twice you have went to jail though for different reasons." I smiled at him and he laughed. Kol rolled a 7 and landed on Malevolence and paid me the $50 he owed me. "Now you don't owe me for rolling the dice either."

"Um actually you should be owing me Kai." He said as Jeremy took his turn. He bought Rugosa for $140.

"No, I didn't ask you to roll the dice for me Kol." I took my turn. "'Jump to hyperspace! Advance token to nearest station. If unowned, you may buy it from the bank. If owned, roll the dice and pay the owner ten times the amount.' So if you do something for me and I didn't ask for it, I don't owe you."

"Nope, if I do something without having to be asked then I get something back."

"STOP fighting you two." Klaus cut in. I forgot he was in the room. Tyler failed to get out and Kol took his turn. He landed on Crystal Centre thing and paid Tyler $26. Jeremy rolled the dice to land on Sith.

"'Jump to hyperspace! Advance token to Go. Collect $200.' Cool." I took my turn again and landed on the same thing as Kol. Tyler and I exchanged money at least three times until I had given him the right amount.

Tyler landed on 10. "You stole my ten!" So Kol rolled and got an 8. Jeremy rolled a 10 and visited Tyler in jail. I smiled. "And how many times has Jeremy actually visited you in jail?" Tyler snorted before I rolled the dice. "Just asking."

Tyler rolled the dice and then Kol rolled the dice. He got a 7. Jeremy rolled and went forward collecting the jackpot. I rolled a ten and landed on one of Jeremy's titles, and gave him $20. Tyler rolled, after paying, and landed on free parking, went again and landed on Florrum and handed Kol $22.

Kol took his turn and set up two cities on his property for the Palace suite. "There so now if any of you land on my places, you will be bankrupt." He gave a big smile before rolling the dice. He paid me for landing on the ship and then Jeremy rolled the dice. Jeremy paid for Vassek landing and I rolled the dice. I didn't have to worry about landing on one of the hotels because I was on the exact opposite side of the board. I bought Antar and then landed on Florrum because I had doubles. I paid Kol and then Tyler rolled the dice.

He bought Christophsis System for $320. Kol rolled the dice and went double six. And then nine to get a Sith card. "'Blast three assassin droids. Collect $50.' Should I not want to blast them? I thought they were on my team."

Jeremy rolled and got onto Chris System thing. He gave Ty the money. I rolled and landed on Vassek and gave Kol his money. "Lately it seems people are either paying Kol or Tyler. I declare mutiny!" I rolled again. I had got snake eyes. I bought Crystal City and then looked at Tyler. "Tyler do you want the Tattoine thing or do you want the green monopoly? I have two cards that you need, I'll trade you one for a different set. Which is it?"

"Give me Crystal City." I nodded and took his Tattooine System card. "There."

"We both got what we wanted." Tyler rolled the dice. He landed on Jabba's Palace.

"I choose to go bankrupt. There's nothing I can do to get that kind of money.. I don't have 2,000." He gave everything to Kol. Kol frowned.

"You mean… I killed my own nephew?" He said, devastated.

"No because lucky for me I'm still banker." Kol took the dice and solemnly rolled the dice. He landed on one of my titles and paid me the $8. Jeremy rolled the dice and landed on Sith.

"'Your lightsaber is knocked from your hand during a battle. Pay each player $50.' 'To lose your lightsaber is to lose your life.' As said from Master Obi-Wan." He smiled before paying us each. I rolled and landed on Ransom. I paid $75 to Tyler or the bank anyway.

Kol rolled and landed on Skytop Station, he bought it. Jeremy rolled and landed on Trade Blockade and paid $200. I rolled the dice and landed beside Jeremy. Kol rolled and landed on Teth System before buying more hotels for the green area. So the whole end of the board was a death zone.

"Who thought it a good idea to give Kol so much money anyway?"

"Kol would have done it anyway man."

Jeremy rolled the dice and landed on Rishi. He tried to buy hotels for it. Which he had enough but now if he landed on one of Kol's before Kol landed on one of his, he's dead and Kol is less likely to land on it because he's already past his place. I however was probably doomed. I landed on Russan first before going onto Rishi, mark that. I only had to pay $900. I had $1000. So I paid him the money I owed.

"You know your hotels are not as effective at life ending as his are."

Jeremy sighed. Kol rolled the dice and moved on to Republic Medical Station, he bought it. Jeremy rolled the dice and landed on Sith. "'Jump to hyperspace! Advance token to Jabba's Palace.' Well good bye Kai. I'm already out of my misery." I frowned as he moved forward and then bankrupted himself. Kol bought even more hotels. Now both sides were a death trap and I was only half way out of it.

I rolled the dice once more to land on Sith. "'You're thrown in jail for treason. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.' At least I'm safe in jail."

"Um actually Kai, if you roll anything but a ten to get out of jail then you're dead. Or a two." I frowned. I wasn't putting in the fact that Jail was on the side with hotels. Kol rolled the dice and went to Sith.

"'Jump to hyperspace! Advance token to the nearest ship. Pay the owner the rent to which they are entitled. If the ship is unowned you may buy it from the bank.' Well Kai, to help you get done what you were working for I'll auction it and give it to you." He let me have it and then he smiled. "Now you owe me." I rolled my eyes and rolled my dice.

"Actually I had to pay for it so it's not really doing anything for me." I got double three. I groaned. The next time I wouldn't be so lucky. Kol rolled the dice and landed on Blockade thing and I rolled again. I landed on one of my ships. Kol rolled and went 8 again.

I landed safely on a Jedi. "'You repair a protocol droid. Receive $25 for your services.'" Tyler gave me the money. Kol rolled and landed safely. I rolled a nine and also landed safely on a Jedi. "'Use a Jedi Mind Trick to escape from a pirate jail cell. Collect $100.'" Kol rolled the dice once more. He landed on Free Parking, taking the money. I rolled and Rebekah came in.

"Dinner is ready." I sighed with relief. I had been 'saved by the bell'. I would have lost the game and Kol would win.

"I win!" Kol got up, packing the game away.

"Yes, which means you have to set up the next game, Life." Klaus said leading us out. "We're not actually eating here so don't wait up."

"Why didn't you tell us you weren't eating at home?" Rebekah demanded.

"Didn't cross my mind, besides who cooked this meal?"

"Katherina. Why?"

"Katerina sweetheart. That name says all you need to know."

"I'm going to tell Elijah that you and Katherina need a talking to. She tried to poison your food. I stopped her." He laughed.

"See I told you she doesn't like me. I mean I did try to kill her. I have to take these to see Davina. We're having McDonald's tonight. Bring the game Kol!" He called before leading us out of the house.

(Jeremy POV)

We went to McDonald's like Klaus said we were and he bought us each two kids meals, one with chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger. He bought himself a number one and chicken nuggets and Davina the same thing as us. Four boy toys and one girl toy. Then he drove off to where ever it was she was living in New Orleans. He didn't hand us our drinks or food, he kept them up with him.

When we reached her house he got out and opened our doors, getting the drinks and the food himself. He handed it all off to Kol before banging on Davina's door. I was astonished she actually opened the door and spoke nicely to him. I would have been angry or something.

"Hello witch. We are here for dinner and a game. Mind if we come in?" She looked at Kol, he nodded, and she nodded.

"Come in. All of you. What game are we going to be playing?"

"We will be playing Life. Brilliant right?" Klaus asked, bringing in the food and drinks. "Where may I sit this?"

"On the coffee table."

"Kitchen table it is."

"I said coffee table."

"I said kitchen, we're at an impasse here." I laughed and she probably had the same idea because she giggled.

"Just because we're friends doesn't mean you can bang on my door, ask my opinion and then reject it."

"Actually I took in your opinion. You said table. The only difference is kitchen and coffee. I got you a diet coke. You like those?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

"You're female." She rolled her eyes at him and he took out his chicken nuggets and handed Tyler his food too.

"Whatever Klaus."

"I'm the oldest here aren't I? I've dealt with lots of girls."

"Did your girlfriend like Diet Coke?" She asked Kol.

"Actually we are older than any drink on this planet besides for water. Kol, set up the game so we can play." He went in there and began to set it up. Kol called for Klaus after a few minutes about his back hurting and then he called again a few more minutes later.

"Why don't you go help him?"

"Because Kol is a big boy. He can take care of it himself."

"You should still help him. It doesn't matter if he's a- man." I heard someone come downstairs.

"Davina?"

"Oh hey Tim! It's not what it looks like. We're not here to play a game with Davina and in return give her dinner."

"No Tim, that is exactly what's going on. I was going to cook something nice. But we have McDonald's instead."

"Actually Darling we didn't know he was here so only you get food."

"I have two kids meals, and that is too much for me. So I'll give him the chicken nuggets."

"Thanks Davina."

"Niky! Come help me!"

"I will." Davina sat down and I guess began to help him get it ready. "Kol, you're doing it all wrong."

"Am not! I've done this many times over. By the way. I have to do this still."

"Okay."

"Now this one."

"Okay."

"Finally this one."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, Kol."

"Fine. Let's see how smart your decision is why don't we?"

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Be quiet you two, Kol behave yourself. I'll reheat your food. Everyone." He did just that before taking our drinks from the fridge and then Kol called again.

"Nik! I want a hotel room!"

"No, we're still in New Orleans."

"Oh come on you give Rebekah everything she asks for."

"That is because she is a brat. Also I do not, I did not give her Marcel."

"A brat that you made. And so are you!"

"Excuse me? Kol keep your mouth shut before you get yourself in trouble. Get in here and eat." He was in here in a second and sat down, eating his French Fries first. Then his chicken nuggets followed by pudding from Davina. We all had pudding except Klaus, he refused it. However Davina put some in a bowl for him anyway.

"Tyler do NOT eat that with your finger." Tyler smiled, laughing nervously.

"You weren't supposed to see that."

"You can hide nothing from me Tyler. Eat with a spoon like a civilized person. Whether or not you are a hybrid is of no consequence to your manners. Except when you are going to kill someone then it is up to you in how you handle it, though do tread with care who you decide to kill. I have not forgotten the Salvatore problem." Tyler gulped and grabbed a spoon before pretending Klaus said nothing.

"Okay so I have it set up to where all you have to do is choose your car colour. We all are supposed to spin to see who goes first. There are five players? Nik, me, Tyler, Jeremy, Kai, Davina, Tim. Sounds like seven actually."

"That, dear brother, is because it is seven. Davina I want to say that I will also behave myself if you give me your word that you will answer a simple question when it is time to take them home. Do you give it to me?"

"My word?"

"A promise so deep that it means the world to you. I don't know, you'd have to ask Elijah. I'm good on these things."

"What question is it?"

"Just wait until the end of the night and then I'll tell you. So do you or do you not?"

"I do give my word, now you have to behave and not be a serial killer tonight."

"If he doesn't I can just call Elijah." Kol smiled and then ducked as Klaus threw something at him. Davina coughed, clearing her throat and Klaus straightened up his back sitting as he was before. Everyone finished their food soon and we moved from the table to the coffee table.

"2." Klaus replied.

"3." Kol called.

"4?" Tyler asked. "Is this thing busted?"

"5." Davina replied. "It is busted but there is six of us so what does it matter?"

"1." Tim called.

"6." Kai answered.

"7." Jeremy called. "Tyler's right it's busted. Or it just doesn't want to be fair. So what do I do?"

"Play continues clockwise which means Kai next, then Tim, then Davina, then Tyler and I and Nik goes last. Spin the wheel."

"6."

"Now choose your colour and gender."

"I choose… lime green and a man." He put them on the board.

"Now you want to start college or skip college?"

"Start."

"Then you move with the Start college direction. Go six spaces. Also borrow a loan. So you get a Life tile, that helps you with money at the end. So you end your turn now. Kai your next."

"I'm going to skip college." He picked up a bright orange car and tried to put him in the car on his head.

"Sorry sir but you cannot sit in the car on your head, you would end up dead." Kol replied, taking it, fixing it and putting it on the board. "Now you need a job and a salary." He picked up the decks and Kai chose one from each. "80,000 for salary and computer consultant. Sweet. Now spin."

He spun and landed on 8. "Okay so you passed Pay Day twice which means you need 80000. 50, 60, 70, 80. And another one. So that makes something then you had an accident on skis and that means you need to pay the bank money. So I'll take a ten and make it into a five. There, your turn is over. Your turn Davina."

"I choose purple and female and I want to start college." She spun a 7 and landed on spring break which made her pay 5,000. Now she only had 5,000. Then Tim went. He landed on Dean's List which gave him a Life tile.

Then it was Tyler's turn. He chose yellow with male and starting college. He landed on Pay for books and supplies. Pay 5,000. Then Kol went. He chose white with male, at random, and landed on make new friends for a Life tile. Nik went with us too. Which means Kai was in the lead.

"Part time job, collect 5,000. I know how this game works."

So we began spinning the spinner and going places. Jeremy went again. He landed on Pay Day, which meant he needed to get a career and a salary. He chose Entertainer and 100,000. He also paid back his loans, Kol searched for a rule against it but there wasn't one. So then Kai took his turn. He moved to Car accident but he'd just paid 10,000 for car insurance. He stopped right before he got married. Tim went next and got Lawyer and 90,000.

"Sorry we're doing this Kol's way. He added cards that are not supposed to be here." Davina explained. I knew I'd never seen that card in Life before. Kol smiled before Davina took her turn. She chose to be a doctor and have 60,000 for salary. She got a life tile for getting a pet. Then Tyler went on and he got Study Abroad with a Life tile to boot.

So Kol went and got Dean's List with a Life tile. Klaus landed on Career. He chose Police Officer and 50,000 for salary. He paid off his debt to the bank before ending his turn. Jeremy got Birthday Party for a Life tile. Kai moved forward but he had to get married so he spun again, just like the rules stated. Davina landed on Marriage. She blushed before putting in a male. She had to spin again because she couldn't be on a space with another person, which was another 9. She also paid off her debts before ending her turn. Tim landed on ski accident and had to give Davina 5,000. Ty landed on Career choice and became an artist with 40,000 salary.

Kol landed on the same thing, having to choose a job and a salary. He became a Sales person with 70,000. He collected his money since he had to move on and Tyler was hogging the space he was currently on. He landed on Win marathon collect 10,000. Kol also paid off his debts. Klaus landed on Visit a Museum for a Life tile. Jeremy landed on in laws after getting married. Kai spun a Taxes Due and paid 35,000. Davina landed on house deed. She was winning as of right now.

She got a house but ended up with bank loans too. Because she couldn't afford it herself. And she couldn't refuse it. Davina spun again, since she didn't actually land on it. "You get two days, two children of either or both genders, and you get a Life tile. Sweet right?"

She put in a boy and a girl. Tim landed on Cycle To work for a Life tile. I rolled my eyes. "See Davina? I should have kept those other Life tiles. You lose." Tyler landed on Pay Day and then Kol went again. "This game is going to take forever."

"So will your bed times so be happy Kol."

"I have one?"

"Yes since right now you fit in with them." Kol got Pay Day and another 50,000 because he won a marathon or something. Then Klaus landed on Get Married. He tried to put in three women but Kol stopped him.

"We do not appreciate that here Nik." He just laughed and let Kol deal with it. "Let's face it, if Nik got married her new name would be wife." Klaus rolled his eyes and spun again. "Upgrade, pay me 10,000."

Jeremy landed on House Deed and had to get loans also. He however used his pay day to pay off his loans, and buy insurance for his house and car at the same time however he didn't have enough for a stock number.

Kai took his turn and got a Life tile too. Davina took her turn and paid for insurance, both of them. She landed at an intersection, having paid for insurance just now, she was allowed to not pay anything. Tim followed for his turn. He got rid of his loans with his pay day and Tyler ran 9 spaces. He got married. And spun again. He got taxes due right after pay day so he just got 25,000.

Kol went next landing on house deed, he bought a house landed two pay days away, and spent most of those pay days to get himself insurance for car and house, a stock. Klaus took his turn to get car insurance and a good thing too because he had to pay for the car.

Jeremy took his turn to get twins and a Life tile. Kai took his turn to buy a house, stock and insurance. Then he spun again since he didn't land on the space. He had to pay but that was okay he got a pay day.

Davina took her turn and used her pay day to get a stock. Tim used his turn to also get insurance and stock. And a house. Tyler used his turn to get a house, and he had no more money to get the rest yet. "It's times like these that you learn to appreciate the fact that Daddy's rich. I've only 5,000 right now." He rolled again since he didn't land on that space. He got 40,000 but ended his turn since he couldn't do anything about it anyway.

Kol took his turn happily. He got another stock. Klaus took his turn to get a stock and money. Jeremy got nothing from his turn except to move his car. Kai took his turn and chose to pay Davina. She got to pay the bank 20,000. Luckily she had a pay day. Tim paid Kol for his turn and then Tyler took his turn.

Tyler got a Family Picnic for a Life tile. Kol took his turn and received money and a baby boy. And a Life tile, the last one. Klaus took his turn and took out loans before spinning again. He got two pay days and he used most of the money to pay off his loan and his insurance. The good thing was that he was catching up with us.

Jeremy took his turn and 'vote'd. Kai took his turn and got double pay day. I could tell that some of us were getting tired. I refused to sleep until the game was over. Davina took her turn and got a pay day and taxes due in the same turn. Kol clapped for her lazily. Before he leaned against Klaus.

Tim took his turn to get a pay day and not have to worry about his car being stolen because he had insurance. Tyler took his turn and paid Kai 25,000. Kol took his turn again and caught up to Davina. Only behind by two spaces. Klaus took his turn and got a pay day, one space behind Tim. Jeremy got a six and paid Tyler.

Kai took his turn. "Pay 25,000? To who?" He asked, perplexed.

"The bank Kai." Klaus replied, smiling. "Don't worry." He did before slumping back over against the couch. Davina took her turn and found buried treasure. I put my chin on Klaus' shoulder as Tim took his turn. Then Tyler took his.

"I pay 10,000 to get insurance for the car. Then I give two 20s… no it says 25. I give you my 50. For 25 back."

"Don't spit Tyler."

"Whatever you say sir." He said, half saluting. He had no idea what he was doing. Kol took his turn. "For once a landing on stop."

"Spin again Kol."

"Recycle. I'm rich." Klaus took his turn, humming to his brother the whole time. "Niky, I love you."

"Love you too." Jeremy took his turn. Kai took his turn and got 95,000 for something about a television. Davina took her turn, she was in third place now. However she put herself back in first place. Tim took his turn. He got three pay days.

Tyler took his turn once more. He got a pay day. Kol took his turn before complaining he was tired and hungry. Klaus just bit his wrist and fed Kol. Who soon fell to sleep after Tim's next turn. Klaus took his wrist back and took Kol's turn for him. And then his own. The end was near, just not near enough for my liking. Jeremy took his turn. Tyler was in last place now.

Kai took his turn before he also began to fall asleep. Davina got a nine. Tim won a lottery. Tyler got to spin twice. Still behind. Klaus began to think as he took Kol's turn and his own. Jeremy took his turn and Kai took his. Nothing too exciting happened. Davina took hers and Tim's turn.

Tyler took his turn before Klaus repeated Kol and himself. I hope we win quickly. They are going to need their sleep if they have fun tomorrow in a different city. That is their surprise."

"You realize that they are still awake?"

"Yes, but only with half a brain. I should know." Jeremy took his turn, and Kai did his before he also knocked out. "It's past ten. Way past ten." Davina repeated her turn and Tim's turn. Tyler did his turn. And Klaus did his and Kol's turns too. Then his phone rang.

"Hey. Hey. Hey Elijah. Shush. It's okay. I'm okay. They are okay. We are still in town. Davina? No she's not here. I was supposed to see her but she wouldn't let me in. The nerve of her. Right? No, no, Elijah go away." He hung up and did his and Kol's turn again. "I'm going to regret that but it was worth it. He hasn't learned of the faction meeting incident either. I'm doing great I'd say. Even if I did just lie to his face. Metaphorically anyway."

Jeremy did his turn and Kai's turn before Davina did her and Tim's turns. "What's 20,000 times 5?"

"100,000 dear." Klaus took Tyler's turn since he was too zoned out to notice it was indeed his turn and then Kol's and his own. Jeremy took his and Kai's turn before yawning.

"Tyler really needs his car up here." She said while doing her turn and Tim's."Tim's retired. And so is Kol."

"That leaves you, me, Kai, Jeremy, and Tyler." He did two turns before letting Jeremy do his and Kai's turn. "I'm done." Davina took her turn and Klaus took Tyler's turn. He had lost the race to the finish but he might have more money than Kol. Jeremy and Tyler began to play the game alone, everyone else was done. Tyler took a nine and retired into Countryside Acres. "Count up everyone's money Davina. Then we'll know who won. My bet is on Kol." While they did that I fell asleep.

(Klaus POV)

"Kai lost, Tyler lost, you lost in first place, I lost, Jeremy lost, and Tim lost. Kol won. I win my bet. And now I have to get these kids home. They're already falling asleep." I got up, picked up Tyler and Kai first and carried them to the car. I buckled them in before moving to get Kol and Jeremy. I picked them up and carried them to the car too. I buckled them in and helped pick up the rest of the way. She smiled before yawning.

"Thanks Klaus for bringing Dinner."

"Speaking of which, I behaved myself. I get an answer to my question."

"What is your question?"

"Are you pregnant?" She glared at me but answered.

"Yes. I guess you heard it already?"

"And I'm guessing that Tim is the Father to the child?"

"He is. He'll be a perfect dad."

"For how long?" I asked, giving her stomach a pointed look.

"6 months."

"So younger than Geena."

"Who is that?"

"My daughter." I smiled at her and she smiled back. "If you need anything I'll be here. You know where to find me. I've been a parent before, I could give advice. Since you're sixteen or nineteen, one or the other."

"Don't you have to get them home?" I smiled, before picking up the game, it was ours after all. "Bye, Klaus."

"Bye… Davina." I put the game in the back and got in the car. I got in the driver's seat and began the drive home, making sure not to budge any of them awake. When we got there, I carried them all upstairs, dressed them in pyjamas and tucked them in bed, kissing their cheek good night.

I wandered downstairs, when I knew none of them would wake, to find Katerina. I raised my brow at her. "What Katerina?" She handed me a bowl of food.

"You forgot your soup." She said, smiling more than she's ever done with me. I smiled wider than her and grabbed the food.

"Oh, well thank you for keeping it warm." I replied, I acted like I was going to drink it and then dropped it on the floor where the glass broke. She stepped back so she didn't get hit with the glass. "Nice try Katerina. You can't fool me. Now." I vamped over to her, grabbed her throat, and banged her against a wall for dramatic effect. "Do you want to apologize to me or should I torture it out of you?"

"Go to hell." She scoffed. I tilted my head slightly to the left. I hummed.

"I don't think so sweetheart." I put my mouth to her throat just to be thrown from her.

"Can neither of you just be happy for me?" Elijah. I opened my mouth but he moved quickly on. "I have found the woman of my dreams and my own brother cannot accept her. And she in turn does not accept my brother. Katerina, you lied to me about that. You said you like him as a brother in law but then you try to poison his food? I have told him countless times that you would not, that you would never. You have made me a liar."

"Lij-"

"Niklaus why can you two not get along together? Why must I always be there to keep you two civilized between each other?"

"Elijah-" Katerina tried but he interrupted once again.

"I am tired of this back and forth thing. What must I do to help you two?"

"Elijah! I'm sorry but by now it's a habit and you know what people say about habits. They die hard." He glared at me and I lost the guts to stare back at him.

"That is no excuse Niklaus." I bit my lip and chanced a glance at Katerina. She was hurt. By Elijah.

"Elijah, I'm sorry I lied to you. I promise it won't happen again. I love you." Elijah looked at her before leaving the room. I snarled at her.

"You hurt Elijah! How dare you? You're lucky I don't rip out your throat with my teeth."

"Well I wasn't the only one who lied to him, you lie to him all the time."

"Darling, you are his girlfriend, which means lying can ruin your relationship with Elijah more than it does mine. He'll still love me even if he doesn't trust me." I shot back at her. She glared at me. "What? You thought you were the only girl interested in my brother? I assure you that there are ma-" She tackled me and hissed in my face before banging my head into the floor. I growled at her before throwing her off. "Seems I've touched a nerve. You love him? You just love the idea of him. Why else would you have sex with Stefan Salvatore?"

She smacked me, but just like Rebekah, I caught her wrist and began to crush it, bringing her to the ground. "I never had sex with the Salvatores. It was always Elijah. Always and Forever." She said smiling up at me. I snarled at her and smacked her away from me. "Now I've touched a nerve." I smiled at her.

"You forget little doppelgänger, that you are at my mercy. Whether you live or die is up to me!" I vamped at her and she looked like a deer caught in headlights when Elijah appeared again. I skidded to a halt or tried to but instead I ran right into Elijah. Before I fell he caught my arm and helped me stay up. In which point, I looked any where but at Elijah. What I said had been true, it had become a habit to do this with Katerina. She herself wasn't to blame for her actions. It was just what we did and apparently Elijah had had enough of it. I bit my lip and backed off from Elijah.

"You still fight behind my back." I opened my mouth but he shook his head. He began to lead me upstairs, beckoning Katerina to follow us.

(Damon POV)

I rolled over and answered my phone that was ringing Stefan's ringtone.

"Ello Damon!" He said, vibrating his voice to make it sound like eh-lO Day-Mone. I rolled my eyes, sighing.

"Where are you Stefan?"

"With Marcel." With MAR-cell.

"Who's Marcel?"

"No one." He replied immediately.

"Be quiet, I don't want Klaus knowing I'm up and let alone getting you-"

"Stefan? What's wrong with your English?"

"What? Nothing. I'm just calling in my brother."

"In the middle of night when you know I sleep?"

"Yes." He laughed after answering the question and then I think I heard him burp? I groaned.

"Go away Stefan." I hung up and rolled over to wrap my arms back around Elena's waist. However my phone rang again. I yawned before answering again. "What?"

"Ello Damon!" He laughed again, I rolled my eyes and hung up, turning my phone off.

"Who was that?"

"An annoying brother."

"A Mikaelson, Salvatore, or Gilbert?" she yawned.

"I'm going to go with Salvatore and Mikaelson."

"Kol?"

"No, not Kol. Some guy named Marcel."

"I think… I remember… Tyler saying… that name… once." She fell back to sleep and I did the same. I didn't need a high or drunk Stefan calling me at midnight.

I gave you an ending so if you don't want to know what happened to Klaus and Katerina, you don't have to. If you do I please ask no hate mail or flaming or whatever. I have given fair warning about where you might to want to stop reading this so thank you for reading my chapter and have a nice time until I post the next chapter, and even then still keep having a nice time. Thank you for reading this far. Bye. =) :)

(Klaus POV)

"Elijah, I can explain."

"No you cannot. You have said it is a habit. One I've asked to stop for a while now." I began to feel like something was up. This wasn't right. I tried to yank away from him but he didn't let go.

"Elijah. Let go." I tried harder but he just tightened his grip. He opened his door and led me and Katerina inside. "Lijah?" I asked, feeling scared but the emotion did not get in my voice. "She's not Tatia." I tried. He just stared at me.

"I know she is not Tatia. She is better than Tatia ever was." I heard a noise come from my throat, kind of a whine but immediately shut off.

"Lij-"

"Go sit in the corner please."

"Sit."

"Yes, and please do so quickly."

"N-" He swatted me and I immediately went where he asked of me. Did he just do that in front of Katerina? "Elij-"

"Silence Niklaus, I am speaking with Katerina." I opened my mouth, remembered what he just did and kept quiet. Listening instead. It sounded like… he was lecturing Katerina. Katerina reacted by saying she was sorry over and over again and then finally she whispered something I barely could hear.

"Please don't let me go." She whispered, tears in her voice. "I love you."

"I would not let you go just because you have one flaw Katerina. I will however..." I stopped listening because I think I know what's going to happen.

"What? You can't do that! I'm not your sibling nor am I your child or Nadia. I am your girlfriend."

"I am resolute in this Katerina." I heard him sit down and pull something over his lap. He was spanking Katerina?! Was I next? No. I took a step from the corner but he tsked me and I flinched. I stepped back into place and heard the first swat to Katerina. I smiled… and… yet I… felt kind of bad for her. I felt guilty like maybe this was our fault. He shouldn't be doing this in the first place. Katerina first screamed at the swats and she shouted about how she was too old for this or how he couldn't do this. The truth be told back in her time, men did this mostly all the time to their women. However, women were thought of as property. Elijah was doing this for an entirely different reason. He thought of her as a person.

"Elijah, please stop, it hurts. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

"As Niklaus has said, this has become habit to you two and will be hard to stop. I do believe however that you are sorry." I turned around to face Elijah but he told me that it was my second warning. I rolled my eyes and stared at the corner. Afraid of my turn, because after all I was the one doing most of the violence. And earlier behaviour. "Now do you think you can be nice to Niklaus?" I bit my lip again, knowing that my turn was coming faster than I wanted it to.

"Yes. Elijah I'm so sorry." She sobbed. I whined quietly. Beneath her sobbing I would make no noise what so ever. "Please love me, I'm sorry I lied to you. I'll try harder. I promise."

"Katerina. I love you."

"I love you too Elijah ah." She breathed heavily before calming down some.

"I give my word I would not ever let you go just because of this. I should have put a stop to it as soon as I realized it was becoming a habit. Maybe now next time you are tempted, you will remember not to do it." By now I felt like a disobedient child about to be punished. I cleared my throat quietly and I heard Elijah dismiss Katerina to a corner. I wanted to just sink into a hole and never come back up. "Niklaus, come here please." I turned to look at him and I knew there was fear in my eyes.

"Lija, I promise no more. I won't do it. Please don't." I almost cried.

"Niklaus, please." I whined but took most of my strength to obey. It would be easier on me. I was already in enough trouble without this. "Niklaus please remove your jeans and boxers." I looked at the ground and did as I was told. "Niklaus there is nothing to fear. I will not hurt you. I only wish to try to get through to you."

"But you have. I promise. Please don't do this." He laid me across his lap and I whined as he did so. I grabbed hold of the covers, holding on tight as possible. My pleas had fallen on deaf ears, like he told Katerina. He was resolute on doing this.

"What did you do wrong Niklaus?" He said, lying his hand on my bottom.

"I-I was disobedient yesterday by texting you when I shouldn't have, I was rude to you with the way I talked to you, I-I lied to you about- today about Davina. I know you know I did. And I… I attacked Katerina, on purpose or not is not okay either way." I chanted off. He patted my back and I felt myself squirm away from his touch.

"Yes Niklaus. This is for all of those. I am glad you know why I'm doing this."

"Please don't Elijah. I promise better behaviour. Whenever you say, I promise."

"You and I also both know that won't work with you. So why don't we begin now?" SWAT! I jumped up, startled. Elijah hadn't done this in a while. It's so easy to forget how much this hurts. This thing can really humble someone. SWAT! I gasped from the shock. I was kind of expecting that to be it… to be honest.

"I'm sorry, so sorry Elijah. Please stop. OW!" I began to pant with the fifth one.

"Niklaus I am disappointed with you for your behaviour. I have asked a numerous amount of times for it to stop. You never listened to me. I am sorry I believed I had to result to this. Sometimes this is the only way to get you to listen. I love you Niklaus. I also love her though. I love both of you, and she can never replace you. I have time and love to share with the both of you, with all of my family." I groaned.

"Elijah stop. I don't need to hear this all over again. You lied." He smacked me harder on my thigh for my attitude but then right back to where he was spanking me. "I'm sorry Elijah. Let me up please." He picked up his belt and began again, aiming in random places between my bottom, sit spots, and thighs. I whined and moved my head to look at Elijah. "Elijah." I sobbed.

"Niklaus please listen to me." I whined in reply and nodded. "I love you. That is why I do this. Because I know you love me too. I have lied, but only because I had thought Katerina to be telling the truth. You, brother, have lied. You have lied to me. About Davina, you are right." I began to cry and tried to squirm from his grasp, it hurt to hear him disappointed in me and the belt just added to the wound. "I was worried about you and the children because it was so late and you replied by being a brat, I'm sorry but it's true. You do these things even though you know I don't like them, whether it's safety or not." I cried harder. He was right. I did do things like that. "You also know I don't like it when you lie to me. Do you want me to trust you?" That was what made me stop squirming. I didn't want him to stop trusting me. We had gone over this a while back. Back when I defeated Dahlia. Back when my lie had hurt him. "Your lies always hurt me Niklaus. It hurts when anyone I love lies to me. Do you understand me Niklaus?" He asked, pausing.

"Yes." That was all I was able to sob out. "Sorry Eli. So sorry. Please forgive me Eli. I don't know what I would do if you didn't." I stopped sobbing hard enough to hear his answer. He stopped spanking me and sat me up on his lap. I sobbed into his shoulder and he began to comfort me.

"I forgive you Niklaus. Of course I do. I can never stay mad at you for a long time." I whimpered and continued to bawl.

"I'm sorry Eli. I'm so sorry." I just kept repeating that and he kissed my cheek.

"Shush Niklaus."

"I hurt you. I always hurt you Elijah."

"No, not always." I laughed before calming down, clinging to Elijah.

"I'm sorry I keep hurting Katerina too. I promise to stop."

"I will believe that in time Niklaus. Why don't you go to sleep." He said as I hiccuped and closed my eyes, they were beginning to droop. I sighed in content and went to sleep… on Elijah.
