Elijah always the family man, had managed to get all his siblings around the table for a family dinner. It was a nice sight Klaus admitted, it had been quite some centuries. But although they were all together, the mood was tensed and forced. This family was an example of broken, and they all knew it.

"Rebekah,' y'made some friends already? On that school of yours." Kol teased.

"Yea, well, I saw some old friends," Rebekah said glaring at Klaus, "you didn't tell me Stefan was in town, he didn't recognize me of course, as well as that bimbo of yours, wouldn't you have something to do with, huh, would you?" Klaus just shrugged innocently with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Eat your veggies, Bekah." His sister grimaced but ate.

"You already got everything prepared for that ritual then, Nik, because I wouldn't want you to sacrifice the Bennet witch I met, I planned on having a little fun with her." Kol said mischievously.

Klaus looked up at him. "You have your fun, Kol, everything is prepared…" Klaus cleared his throat," I have a witch, as well as a vampire and a wolf with of course a little backup, just in case someone stabbed me in the back…" Klaus said, looking at Finn challenging, before he continued, "and Katarina did gave me the moonstone, so willingly, quite endearing." He chuckled this time locking eyes with Elijah.

Meanwhile in the library

"Stef, you found something?" Caroline asked her friend who was reading books with her about the supernatural, looking for some information. Stefan shook his head. Caroline sighed. "We are wasting our time, perhaps we should let it rest and just move on with our lives."

"You're probably right," Stefan stated, "but first, I'm going to have a chat with that girl you told me about."

"Alright, Salvatore, if you say so." She then stood up, "I'm going now, Bonnie, Elena and I are having a girls night." Caroline said. She really did need it, just one night, without all the supernatural stuff.

"Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow then, you girls have fun," Stefan said and winked as she walked away.

Caroline was on her way to Bonnie's place when she suddenly heard cries and begs coming from a guy, and she decided to help the damsel in distress. What she didn't expect to see was Tyler who was beating the crap out of him. The guy was in pretty bad shape.

"Tyler, what are you doing?" She cried. Tyler looked up at her with tears in his eyes, but he continued to punch and kick the guy.

"I can't stop." Tyler said weakly. But before Caroline could interfere Tyler gave him the fatal punch and he fell with his head on the hard ground, the guy didn't cry out anymore, he was just laying there, she immediately checked his pulse. No heartbeat, she thought, which means dead.

"You killed him! You freaking killed him. Why, why would you do that?" She exclaimed. He sank to the ground.

"I don't know, he first started punching, really out of nowhere, don't even know the guy. And then I started fighting back, I just couldn't stop.." Caroline looked at him shocked. He grabbed her arms and looked her in the eyes. "Caroline, you are probably gonna think I'm out of my mind but, I think I have triggered the curse… I'm a werewolf now, like my uncle…" His eyes flashed golden briefly. He is compelled, she was sure, but she wouldn't let him down, that she was sure of, too, not when he looked liked this, so genuine, so vulnerable. Caroline nodded.

"It's going to be okay." She said smiling weakly. "I'll help you, but first let's get rid of this body." She said gesturing to the body.

"Caroline, how come you don't freak out about me being a werewolf, are you one too?" He asked.

"No, I'm a vampire." His eyes widened. "Okay, ehm it's a long story." She stated looking at him with a 'this is not the right time' look. Tyler nodded.

The next day

When Caroline came at school the next day Bonnie and Elena glared at her, first she didn't know why but then she realized it was because of the sleepover where she didn't show up. She had completely forgotten about it, usually Caroline would be following them around apologizing, but today she didn't feel like it. She had more important things on her mind. Tyler for example. She was taken out of her thoughts as Stefan started talking; "Care, Elena told me you didn't went, I don't get it, I mean you were way on you way?" She suddenly felt nervous, she had promised Tyler not to tell anyone, and she is a horrible liar. She turned around to face her, he looked at her worriedly.

"I was on my way to Bon's but then I saw Tyler, he was in the middle of a fight, and I helped him out, and then I totally forgot about Bonnie and Elena." Caroline rambled. It wasn't completely a lie. He then looked at her strangely as if he was trying to figure out whether to believe her words or not. "Oh, and that is, you know the girl, I told you about, so you have a nice chat, I have class." Caroline said pointing at the pretty blonde before walking away.

"Hey," Rebekah heard Stefan say to her, did he remember? She turned around and smiled brightly. "Hi, do you remember?" She asked curiously. His broody expression turned broodier.

"Remember what?" He asked curiously.

"Me." He shook his head.

"What's your name, then?"

"Rebekah," She said sweetly as she extended her hand. He kissed it gently. He didn't know why he did, but he felt familiar with this Rebekah. She had a british accent and he also knew that she wasn't human, by the lack of heartbeat.

"Stefan," He replied. "I'm sorry, but I overheard you talking and you said something about a vampire being compelled, is that possible?" He asked locking eyes with her.

Rebekah was troubled, should she answer truthfully, or not. It would probably be best not to, for her family's sake. But she surprised herself when she softly replied' "It's possible," His eyes widened in shock.

"But how, I mean I have tried that, didn't work out." She nodded.

"Only the Originals can compel vampires, the Originals are the first vampires," Caroline is apparently compelled by her Original friend, and this Rebekah said to her, something like 'he compelled her', so she must know him. Stefan thought trying to put the pieces together.

"Are you an Original too?" He asked bluntly. She first looked taken aback by the question, but eventually she nodded. Rebekah felt like smacking herself by admitting this, but she just didn't want to lie to Stefan.

"Well, well, vampire royalty." He chuckled. She smiled. "Sorry for all those questions." He said. Rebekah waved it off.

"It's alright, don't worry about it." She said while walking away leaving Stefan smiling, he was one step closer to the one who compelled Caroline and they should start taking vervain, he realized.
