Bonnie had left town to spend time with Greta.

Elijah and Klaus had stayed in Mystic Falls keeping out of sight using the neighboring town to feed and left only to conduct certain business deals that had to be handled in person.

Jackie had gone back to school and compelled every teacher and the office staff. She had used it to her advantage to have them test out 'Eliza'. Now she didn't need to worry about school only about getting better.

Jeremy and Jenna had come over often to check on Eliza. Jenna took the chance to clean upstairs knowing it would be better if someone close to Eliza cleaned up rather then a stranger.

Jeremy would sit by his sister and read to her, and occasionally just draw. He had even started sharing his sketches with Klaus who thought his work was exceptional.

Matt had heard Eliza had gone through something terrible and would stop by every few days with food from the grill for the household.

Stefan had stopped by for a brief few minutes a couple of days after the events of that night and told them if they needed anything to just let him know.

Eliza had awoken 48 hours after Sheila had put her to sleep. She was numb though, she was distant, and would just sit for hours staring at the fire in the fireplace.

Klaus would barely leave her side. He would do all he could to stay by her side knowing his love needed him.

Elena hadn't bothered to check in on her. She knew her sister didn't care about her that much was clear from her trying to not let her get in the tomb.

Anna and Pearl came to the house. Pearl was stunned to see not one but two originals living with Eliza. She had chosen to bow respectfully to them knowing they were much older then them, and when Anna asked what was going on Elijah was nice enough to explain.

They had grown to like Pearl and Anna and had offered them to stay in the guest house in the back til they got arrangements of their own.

Eliza slowly came out of the comatose state she was in. She would join in on family meals, talk to Jeremy and Elijah about the little things, and took her first shower alone.

When she exited the bathroom it was then she started to take in the little things of the house.

The bathroom had been restyled to be a bit more modern. With up to date plumbing and lighting. The walls in the shower were a mermaid teal. The other three walls were done in a white and blue tile. The claw foot tub had a light blue shower curtain.

When she went out into the hall she saw all the pictures and design choices. The walls were done in a dark mahogany with gold painted base boards. There were two beautiful chandeliers in the hall that were small but elegant. Both made of gold plated material with small crystals hanging from it.

The pictures though were a mix of old and new style showing most of the family who had occupied the house before their untimely deaths.

The group had given her the master bedroom. It was fairly large with two closets. She had let Klaus have one after all they were together it was only appropriate that he shared her room with her.

There was a large beautiful black vanity table in the corner by the bay window. On the right side of the room was her canopy bed. It was done up in black satin sheets, a black and red duvet, and pillows with black cases.

She loved her bedroom it felt right her being in it after all so many Mackenzie's had lived in the house, and used this bedroom as their master. The history in the house was breath taking.

She pulled the the bed sheets down and slipped into bed. She was tired. She was thankful to Jackie for testing her out of school it took a lot off her shoulders. Klaus had left and hour ago to take care of business in another town and told her he would be back as soon as possible.

She knew why he had to leave he is a important man being one of the originals after all.

They had agreed now that she was slowly feeling better they would hold a funeral for her parent's to properly put them to rest.

She was grateful for everyone and all they had done for her. She never meant to close herself off for so long but everyone understood she had lost her parent's she needed time to grieve.

Damon had gone missing after what happened and no one knew if he was okay. Eliza had a gut feeling he was doing what she was and was grieving his own way.

Katherine had caused so much misery and pain and she wasn't even physically there. Klaus had already wanted her dead long ago she had just made it worse.

Eliza thought about her make shift little family and smiled a true smile for the first time in days. She wasn't alone now she had brothers, sisters, an aunt and brother, friends and they all loved her.

Things had to get better soon she thought or at least not so terrible as they had been.
