Hello, my lovely readers. Welcome back. This chapter is starring Silas and has many other characters that will appear with him. On with the show…

Chapter 2: Broody Pants

"Did anyone ever tell you that you brood too much?" Elena Gilbert cried out as she walked along the curb of the street on their way back from school.

"I don't brood that much," Silas snapped at her as he shouldered his book bag.

"Do too," Elena called as she leapt on her best friend's back and he groaned.

Grabbing Elena's legs so that she did not fall on the cement, Silas rolled his eyes. "She dumped me."

"Yeah, she did. So, get over it and get on with your life," Elena advised as she wrapped her arms around his neck more tightly cutting off Silas' air supply.

Gasping, Silas slapped at Elena's arms until she loosened her hold. "You know that I need to breathe to live, right, Gilbert?"

"I know that you're not getting Amara back so you need to get on with your life. I hear that Rebekah Mikaelson is taking applications for her next boyfriend after she gets done killing the last one," Elena ended her commentary with a laugh as Silas pinned her with a glare.

"You're so funny. Why don't you take it on the road? Or stop taking whatever it is you're on this time," Silas told his best friend who slid off his back and groaned.

"You're such a stick in the mud. And I have no idea what I'm on. I just stole it from Tyler Lockwood's parents' house. It was such a great idea to ask him to tutor me in math. Too bad I could care less about calc. It's soooo boring. And I like to have fun," Elena exclaimed as she did a cartwheel.

"Uh huh," Silas grunted as Klaus Mikaelson pulled over beside them.

"Want a ride?" Klaus inquired, looking at his best friend's brother and the crazy girl that he choose to hang with.

"Only if you'll take us to Disney world," Elena yelled as she began to dance around a perfect stranger's lawn.

"Get in the car, Gilbert," Caroline Forbes shouted as she leaned out of the passenger side window. "I can't take the present company. Bonnie's trying to mate with her boyfriend."

"It's not my fault you're more into games than guys, Forbes," Bonnie shouted as she appeared in the back of the car with her boyfriend of the moment, Jesse.

"Away. I'm going to fly," Elena announced and ran toward the road when Jesse got out of the back of Klaus' car and picked her up. Carrying her over his shoulder to the car, he threw the crazed teen into the back where her head fell into Bonnie's lap. "Hey, slut," Elena greeted Bonnie who rolled her eyes.

"Watch who you're calling a slut," Jesse snapped at Elena as Silas slid in to the seat next to his friend.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you feel left out? Don't worry I didn't forget about you," Elena said with a wink as she threw her foot over Silas' lap to lay in Jesse's who flushed.

"Is every one inside the car?" Klaus asked with a smile before pressing his foot to the gas pedal.

"My grandmother drives more quickly than this," Caroline complained as she rested her head on her hand and stared out the window.

"Would you prefer to drive, love?" Klaus inquired.

"I want to drive," Elena called from the back.

"No," everyone else shouted. Parking, Klaus got out and traded places with Caroline who grinned as she pressed her foot to the pedal and they started to speed forward.

"Please, be careful, Caroline. My father just bought me this car," Klaus moaned.

"Which one?" Elena quipped to the sound of utter silence.

"Lena!" Silas complained when she moved her leg and her foot came down on his crotch.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Want me to kiss it and make it better," Elena asked and Silas glared at her. "Sorry. Forgot. It's the face, isn't it? You hate my face now because I look like Mara? I could get my uncle Grayson to recommend a plastic surgeon."

"Or you could just stop being such a bitch," Caroline called as she pulled into the Salvatore's driveway. "And we're here in one piece," she said, giving Klaus a triumphant grin before getting out of the car and striding toward the front door. "Yo, Damon, the parties here," she shouted as Damon looked down from his bedroom window.

Stefan opened the door. "Hey, people. Guess what? Tom's in jail!"

"Tom's what?" Caroline cried, looking pale. "But I saw him just this morning."

"Must have been before he stole the principal's car and went for a ride," Stefan announced almost cheerfully.

Rolling his eyes, Silas grabbed Elena's hand and yanked her toward the front door. "Move, brother," he snapped and Stefan smirked before taking a step back.

Striding up the steps, Silas headed straight for his room but was confronted with Damon. "Did you hand out those flyers like I asked you to?" Damon demanded with a stern look.

"Well, you see I was a little bit preoccupied with the love of my life dumping me and all," Silas snapped at Damon before heading for his room.

"Isn't that Amara?" Damon asked, examining Elena who grinned before throwing her arms around Damon's neck and kissing him passionately.

Pulling away, Elena batted her eye lashes at Damon. "Guess again, loser," she proclaimed as Damon stared down at her in deadly silence.

"Bye," Silas said, grabbing Elena, he jerked her into his room and slammed the door shut.

"What do I do to get her back?" Silas demanded the minute the door was closed. "Flowers, a song, a sonnet, a ticket to Paris? What, Lena?"

Elena rolled her eyes before crossing to his bed and flopping on her back. "Try, Kat. I don't think she's seeing anyone. And she seems lonely. Very, very lonely."

Grunting, Silas picked up his phone and stared forlornly at a picture of himself and Amara at homecoming the year before. "She loves me. I just have to find a way to remind her."

"She's boring," Elena replied. "Go out with Anna because I heard that she's boning my little brother, Jeremy, and the kid flushed my stash last week. It would serve him right if I took his little bed buddy away."

"Why don't you date Anna?" Silas inquired.

Elena smiled as she came to stand behind him and peer over his shoulder. "Cause unlike Kat I don't swing both ways. Now, there's an idea. Get a boyfriend. That might shock Mara into thinking that she really messed you up."

"You're not funny," Silas snapped as he threw his phone on his bed.

"I'm a little bit funny. Now, are we going to sit around here and be all depressed or are we going to get out of here and have some fun?" Elena inquired.

"Depends on what you want to do for fun?" Silas replied.

"Steal Damon's Camaro and go on the road, baby," Elena shouted and then clapped her hands over her mouth. "Too loud?" Cupping her ear, she grinned. "Don't hear anything. So, I'm thinking, no. Besides Aaron and Harper said they were going to go out tonight and find a party. Or make one."

"I don't feel like partying," Silas moaned, staring at his phone which was not ringing.

"Sure you are. Come on," Elena coaxed, wiggling her fingers at Silas until he got off the bed and they went downstairs. Scooting out the front door, Elena ran to Damon's Camaro and flung herself through the open front window head first. "Ouch."

"You okay?" Silas questioned Elena as she unlocked the passenger side of the vehicle. Elena shrugged with a grin as she reached below the wheel and grabbed two wires. "Almost got it. Yes!" she cried when the car came to life. "We're out of here!"

Sitting back in the passenger's seat, Silas hoped that Elena did not kill them both. "So, where did they say we're supposed to meet them?" Silas asked absently as he pulled out his phone which he had grabbed off his bed before they left the house. Now, he was searching through old texts from Amara. She had this thing where she would insert smiley faces instead of O's in her words and it made him want to cry.

"At the Grill. Of course," Elena replied as she drove and after half an hour Silas looked up to find that Elena was driving around the lawn of the Salvatore Boarding House.

"Lena, if you want to get to the Grill you might want to stop driving around my home," Silas pointed out and Elena nodded. Then she ran the mail box over before speeding down the street. "Take a left," Silas called out and Elena nodded before taking a right. Silas sighed. Perhaps by midnight they would get to the Grill. Somehow, Elena managed to make it to the Grill by pulling up behind it.

"We're here," Elena announced and then screamed when she noticed the dent in the bumper. "Ha ha, Damon's going to kill you."

"He's not going to kill me. I didn't do this. You did it," Silas shouted at Elena. If Damon did not believe him then he would have to pretend to be Tom for a week because Tom was the only one of the triplets that Damon feared. Silas did not relish pretending to be that damaged.

Just as Elena was about to reply Andie Starr appeared with Alaric and a huge grin. "E-len-a," Andie screamed.

Whirling on her heel, Elena screamed back, "You're back! I thought they'd never let you out," throwing her arms around, Andie's waist, Elena began to bounce up and down. "Silas, Andie's back!" Elena screamed at Silas whose ears popped at the volume.

"I see that," Silas replied with a grin. "How ya been?" He hadn't seen Andie since her parents found her on the bathroom floor, not breathing. He thought that would be a wakeup call not only to Andie, but to Elena and the rest of their group. Looked like that wasn't the case. Maybe it was because they hadn't been partying with her that night. Silas was.

"I'm home. So, I'm good," Andie told him with a smile that barely touched her eyes. Some of her old light had dimmed. "Are you just going to stand there and stare at me, or you going to hug me?"

Silas moved across the parking lot to hug his old friend. For a moment when his arms went around her, he flashed back to their last night together. The laughter, the drinking and the part where he should have gone home early but they were having so much fun together and she looked so pretty that night. It would only be once. Not the worst thing he had ever done in his life. Just one time. He didn't know that when he woke up and decided to leave her in the bathroom, even though she wasn't moving that she wasn't okay. At least that's what he told himself.

"I missed you, too," Andie joked, punching Silas on the shoulder. "Ric tells me that there's supposed to be a party tonight."

"Yeah, there is," Silas told her. "Inside."

Elena looked confused but she followed them in without a word for once. Blessed silence from the girl who can't stop talking. Taking a seat in a booth, Silas looked up when Aaron and Harper came to join them at their table. "What can I get you lot?" Enzo asked them when they were all in the booth.

"You. On top of this table. Now," Elena demanded, reaching for him when Ric places an arm around her to restrain her.

"She's kidding," Ric told Enzo who nodded.

"Water," Andie said. "And I would like some fries."

"Water?" Elena giggles. "Gee, Mom, didn't know you came out past six."

Andie rolled her eyes toward Silas. "I'll have what she's having," he told Enzo.

"I want a beer," Elena informed Enzo.

Enzo smirked back at her. "Yes, and I want a million dollars and a Ferrari. Not all of us can have those things."

"No, you want my friend, Bonnie Bennett. You want to do hot, naked, dirty things to her. But you'll have to wait a very, very, very long line," Elena said with a fake pout and then grinned before slumping down in her seat. "Beer. Now. Or I tell Damon you stole his car and crashed it."

"And he'll believe you, why?" Enzo inquired lightly although his posture was stiff.

"Because you once dated Kat and she still has stuff that belongs to you that will conveniently find its way into the car," Elena said smoothly. "Beer. Now!" Slapping the table top to emphasize her point, Elena grinned when Enzo left to get her beer.

"I didn't get to order," Aaron complained.

"Neither did I," Harper pointed out, looking around him and seeming edgy.

"You okay, Harper," Alaric asked. "You're not seeing them again, are you?"

"Nope," Harper replied with a forced smile that told everyone that he was lying. He was seeing the vampires. This was not a good sign. They all thought he was past that since he claimed he died in 1864 and had been locked away in a tomb under a church. "I'm fine," he insisted as he fidgeted.

"I'm going to go order something to eat," Alaric said and then wrote down their friends' orders before moving away from the booth. Silas got up with him and walked to the bar only he wished he hadn't. Amara was at the pool table laughing and talking to Kol Mikaelson.

"Don't let it bother you. I'm sure they're just friends," Alaric told Silas with a nod until Kol leaned over and kissed Amara. "Or not."

"Shit," Silas growled. Alaric came to stand in front of him. "Get out of the way, Ric," Silas ordered his friend. "I'm going to kill a Mikaelson and the whole damn family can hunt me down." There were times that being a triplet had its advantages and since the Mikaelson siblings wouldn't know which one was which he could get the hell out of Dodge.

"He's not worth it, man," Alaric replied.

"You mean she's not worth it. And that's because you've never been in love with anyone who loved you back. When are you going to get over Damon? Huh?" Silas snarled and then he felt like kicking himself when Alaric flushed red and then backed away. "Ric?"

"Do what you want?" Ric snapped, walking toward the exit.

Returning to the table, Silas noticed Elena sliding an envelope toward Andie who placed her hand on top of it and then looked at Silas. Grabbing the envelope, Silas walked back toward the bathroom when someone suddenly placed their hand on his shoulder. "Hand it over," Bill Forbes said and Silas sighed when the Sheriff opened the envelope. The older man sighed before taking Silas wrists and placing handcuffs over them, "You're under arrest." So much for a night out on the town.

I want to thank everyone for your comments and say that it is awesome to see what you thought when you read the first chapter. It will be wonderful to see how you react as you see how other characters view each other and the secrets that are revealed that add depth to the characters. Again, it anyone would like to know when you'll see a favorite character just tell me in a review and I will let you know.

Thank you everyone who has faved, followed, read and/or reviewed this first chapter.

Answers to reviews:

Sandiw1875: Thank you and thank you for being my first reviewer. I hope you enjoy this chapter and many more.

Rose: Thank you. I tried to include as many people as possible in the first chapter because it was the introduction but we will still see many people appearing in each chapter. There are a lot of interesting and, in my opinion, unexpected connections between the characters. Such as some of the ships and friendships that you would not see on the shows.

Ruthkenn98: Thank you.

Jairem: The characters are very different and in my mental playground. And I hope that you enjoyed the Delena in the story. They really drive each other nuts in this story but there's this little part of them that still likes the other one. Although it will take them some time in the story to fully discover how much they like each other. So, I hope that you enjoy the journey.

Guest: Thank you.

Forbesfabulous: I know! ;) How did you like the duo of Silas and Elena?

VampireDiariesLuver: Caroline is a slacker, Jeremy type. If you ever watched Buffy imagine a Cordelia if she switched personalities with Xander and has a little bit of Oz in there but still had a wild competitive streak.

Jessinicole: Thank you. I want to make them all into seventeen/eighteen year olds except for Davina because they're dealing with that trying to get it together before they go to college or go out into to the big, bad world. So, there's tons of room for fear, pain, anxiety, but lots and lots of joy when there are little moments that make you feel alive.

Starlight000: Thank you! Hmmm… Kat isn't quite a "good" person and she's not really "bad," depending on who you're asking in the story. Lexi and Marcel did give the impression that Kat and Klaus were some of the "nice" people in the story. It all depends on whose perspective that you're coming from. Yes, Rebekah is goth and a bit scary to most of the people in the story. Depending on who the character is. Alaric has a very interesting and different story to be told than what he has in canon but you'll have to tune in to find out what it is. Marcel will find his way eventually. He's kind of taken under various people's wings and falls in and out of groups but he likes Bekah so that's a lot of fun to write since she's not exactly looking for a romance of any kind with anyone.

JuseaPeterson: Thank you. I hope that you continue to be interested.

Alexis2106: Thank you! I did combine elements of both the canon personalities with their AU selves. It's interesting to see the actions and reactions that are things that you would never see on the show. I hope you enjoyed the Delena in this chapter. There are relationships playing in the background that are fun to develop.

As for Katherine, I think it's interesting to see how from various characters' POVs we see that Kat is not quite the innocent that Lexi perceives her to be. It's really how much you know about people.

The church portion is one of my favorite parts of this story because it's like the story that's about "good" versus "evil" in that's it's not about supernatural elements. And part of that has to do with this one interview with Josh who was discussing how in TO the worst thing you can be is a baby vampire rather than being gay. But if you were living in a small community where people were fairly conservative and there were no vampires then we're back to the old you're gay you're evil. Which makes it really difficult for characters like Josh and Jules and a few others in this story to live their lives openly without fear or repercussions.

And in the story it's not just characters like Jules, who is openly gay in the story, the club targets anyone who is seen as being "promiscuous" so that many of the characters feel irritation toward the club. You'll see a real division between the two groups and various characters rebelling against being told what they should do with their bodies.

However, you'll also see that the chastity club does not represent the antagonist in the story because each member had a reason to join and in a few cases it literally saved their lives.

So, there are tons of places in the story in which we see people as not "good" or "bad" but somewhere in the middle.

I love writing about the character dynamics and how I can switch up who is in which group and who could be together.

Peace,

Jessica
