EDITED OCT22
It was 5.15 am when Brea's bedroom door opened and Elena came in. "Hey," Brea mumbled sitting up. "Couldn't you sleep either?"
"No," Elena said sitting down at the end of Brea's bed. "Let's go."
"Go where?"
"We're starting our training," Elena said.
"What training?"
"So we're not defenceless. Ric is going to train us."
"Yeah, hard pass," Brea said sliding back down.
"We're doing this," Elena said, standing up and throwing the covers off of Brea. "We cannot get attacked like this again Brea."
"I didn't get attacked you did," Brea tried to pull her covers back up only to freeze when she saw her sister's glare. "Fine!" Brea groaned. "Get out, I'll change," she said getting out of bed and shoving her sister out of her room.
"5 minutes," Elena said from the other side of the door.
"5 minutes," Brea said in a mocking high pitched voice.
"I heard that!" Elena yelled back.
After 5 minutes, Brea exited her room grumpily. "Ok, I'm ready," she groaned before looking up to see Ric coming out of his room, a hand holding his head.
"Good morning," Elena greeted happily and Ric held his hand up to silence her, clearly unhappy to be up so early.
"Ric," Brea said leaning on the bannister.
"Hmm?" he asked looking up at her.
"If I push her down the stairs you won't tell right?" Brea asked.
Elena laughed at her sister before going silent when she saw Brea's serious face. "Oh come on Brea," she sighed.
"Yeah I'll keep your secret," Ric said and Elena snapped her head around to him. "You just got to push hard enough to knock the memory out of her, but not hard enough to give us any legal problems."
"Right, one good push. Count of three?"
"I'll meet you guys in the car," Elena said quickly before she ran down the stairs.
"Well at least that was sort of fun," Brea said as she began stomping down the stairs.
"Hey, Brea," Ric said. "Are you ok?" he asked and she just nodded her head quickly before continuing down the stairs.
Brea was sitting on the ground in the woods, leaning against a tree while Ric punched a dummy, releasing stakes into its chest. "So the pressure of your punch ejects the stakes," Ric said demonstrating to the girls.
"Easy enough," Elena said. She then pulled back and punched the dummy, but no stakes ejected. "That's weird," she said looking at the stakes strapped onto her wrist, she took a deep breath and punched again, but no stakes came out. "Must be jammed or something."
"You're not strong enough," Ric said.
"Haha loser," Brea laughed.
"Well you try then," Elena snapped.
"Fine," Brea said lifting herself off the ground and she stared the dummy down, before pulling back and punching. "Ow," she whined grabbing her hand.
"Not so easy is it," Elena sighed.
"You two better start lifting some weights. Put some meat on your bones," he said as he began packing things up.
"Thanks for not sugarcoating it," Elena said following Ric.
"Lena we never work out, you know we're weak," Brea said as she walked after them. "Seriously, this can't be a surprise."
"You two know what this is?" Ric said holding something up.
"A vervain grenade, I've used one before," Elena said.
"Brea? You listening?" Ric asked.
"Yeah, um, vervain grenade," Brea said yawning.
"Then you know the element of surprise is your only advantage when it comes to a vampire," Ric said as he stopped walking and turned to face the twins. He then pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it to Brea. "Surprise," he said glumly.
"Oh my god, ahh!" Brea yelled throwing the grenade to Elena.
"Oh my god!" Elena yelled. "Brea!" she yelled before turning and throwing it away from the group.
"I'm sorry!" Brea said quickly. "I panicked."
"You threw a grenade at me! This isn't a joke to us, Ric," she snapped ripping off her wrist strap.
"You think I'm joking?" Ric asked. "Vampires will take whatever they want. They will hurt whoever they want and they'll do it without remorse. It's their nature."
"You don't have to use pronouns, you can say, Stefan," Elena said.
"Look, I get why you're here. And I get why you got her to come here. Stefan hurt you. You don't want it to happen to you or Brea again."
"But you think that I'm crazy, to believe we can protect ourselves from a vampire who's flipped the switch on his humanity," Elena said.
"I think you found a way to get out of bed this morning. So did you, sort of," he said looking at Brea who merely shrugged. "And that makes you both the strongest people I know. I think you both can do pretty much anything," he said putting his hands on the twin's shoulders before walking off. Elena and Brea looked at each other and nodded. Brea then held her hand up for a high-five and Elena rolled her eyes before marching away.
"Here we are. Senior year," Caroline said as she, Bonnie, Elena and Brea stood out the front of the school.
"Joy," Brea said sarcastically.
"Anyone else thinks this should feel slightly more empowering?" Bonnie asked.
"Ok, prank night was a bust. But we are accepting it and we're moving on," Caroline said.
Brea snorted. "A bust?" she asked. "Seriously, Caroline?"
"You're right," Bonnie interrupted before the girls could start fighting. "I mean, why should I let the fact that my boyfriend is seeing the ghosts of his girlfriends hinder this experience?"
"Yes!" Caroline said enthusiastically. "And why should I let the fact my boyfriend was turned into a hybrid put a damper on an otherwise fabulous day?"
"Yes," Brea said rudely. "It's all well and merry, aside from all of that, and the fact that Klaus killed two of our friends last night, hurt Elena, killed Tyler, caused Matt to hurt himself, destroyed Stefan and brought Rebekah to town. Brilliant day."
"Today's our anniversary," Elena said falling behind the girls, causing the three girls to stop walking and turn around and look at her. "Technically, Stefan and I met on the first day of school last year."
"Yeah you two win," Caroline said to Elena.
"Does she though?" Brea queried.
"Are you sure you both want to be here?" Bonnie asked.
"I have to be here," Elena said. "I have to put it behind me. New year, new life," Elena said walking off.
"And you, are you going to be ok?" Caroline asked as she and Bonnie stayed with Brea.
Brea nodded, her eyes filling with tears. "No one who got hurt would want our lives to stop. I don't know about putting it behind us, but we've just got to work through it," she said with a small smile before she followed after her sister.
Brea was at her locker putting books away when someone came up behind her and said "want to see something funny?" making her jump in the air and spin around.
"Oh my god, Stefan," Brea said wide-eyed.
"Want to see?" he said.
Brea hummed. She didn't trust him, but if he had something funny... "Yeah why not," she shrugged.
"Follow me then," he peeled away from the lockers and walked down the hall. "Here we go," Stefan stopped outside the men's bathroom.
"What is it?" Brea asked. So far, it wasn't very entertaining.
"Just wait for it. And... action," he walked forward, deliberately running into Elena as she raced out of the bathrooms.
"Oh my god," Brea cringed, she knew this was how the two of them first met. This wasn't funny. It was a low blow.
"Hello, Elena," Stefan greeted.
"What are you doing here?" Elena asked and Brea moved to her sister's side.
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked. "I'm going back to school," he said as though it were obvious. "Go Timberwolves."
"What? Why?" Elena asked.
"Klaus wants me to keep an eye on you two. I'm just doing what I'm told," Stefan shrugged.
"I'm going to be late for class," Elena said trying to walk around him.
"Oh, uh, class is this way," Stefan said grabbing Elena's arm.
"Schedule's changed," Brea said, trying to yank her sister's arm out of Stefan's grip.
"Let go of me, Stefan," Elena pleaded.
"Elena, do you think I want to be a senior for the hundredth time?" he asked. "No. But if I don't have a choice in the matter, neither do you."
"I said let go of me!" Elena snapped.
"Let her go," Ric ordered as he came up to the three of them.
"Oh thank god, here's our muscle, be scared Stefan, be very scared," Brea taunted and Stefan just tilted his head at her and let go of Elena's arm. "Oh yeah, that's right, back off." Stefan then reached over and slammed Ric right against the lockers. "Not what I meant!" Brea gasped.
"Stefan, stop it," Elena growled.
"You're not going to want to get in my way, ok, Ric?" Stefan said before he released him and started walking off. "See you guys in history."
"My classroom, now," Ric snapped and the girls nodded and followed after him. "What the hell is he doing here?" he asked as soon as they all entered the classroom.
"Klaus compelled him to keep watch over us," Elena said. "Apparently I'm one of Klaus' assets now that my blood is the only way to create a hybrid and Brea…" Elena said looking at her sister.
"Well, I think it's fair to say that Klaus and I's fondness for each other is more of a one-sided thing," Brea scowled.
"So now he's your bodyguard?" Ric asked the girls.
Brea shrugged and Elena said. "I don't know what he is, but he's definitely not Stefan. What were you doing with him?"
"Umm," Bra scratched her head. "He said he had something funny to show me. Turns out not so funny," she said as the bell rang and students started entering the classroom.
"Look, his being here is not good for us. We have to do something," Elena said.
"It's not good for anyone walking these halls with a heartbeat," Brea said before she and Elena walked over to their seats and sat down.
"Hey," Tyler whispered from next to Brea and she leaned over. "From my mom," he said handing her a bottle. "Pear, apple and celery," he said.
"Yes!" Brea cheered loudly.
"Brea," Ric warned, he'd already started his introduction to the class.
"Sorry," she apologised before turning back to Tyler. "Tell your mum thanks for the juice!."
"Will do. But Brea, watch the accent," he suggested.
"Oh bugger," she muttered to herself as she took a sip, she'd been letting her English accent creep in a bit at school.
"Brea! Tyler!" Ric called out irritably. "Am I going to have to separate you two again this year?"
"No," they both mumbled, turning around to the front.
"Alright. Let's turn our brains back on, starting with this country's original founders. The Native Americans."
"What about the Vikings?" Rebekah asked walking into the classroom. Brea coughed in shock and choked on her drink.
"Well there's no evidence that Viking explorers actually settled in the United States," Ric said while Tyler leant over and patted Brea on the back.
"You ok?" he whispered and Brea nodded.
"Who are you?" Ric asked Rebekah.
"My name's Rebekah. I'm new and history is my favourite subject," she said as she took a seat in the front.
"She knows that because she's so bloody old," Brea muttered.
"Brea! Tyler! Come on guys," Ric groaned.
"Look just sit on the bleachers and stop whining," Caroline said pushing Brea to sit down.
"I'm not whining. I'm serious, I have so much to do," Brea said.
"You don't have anything to do. Your brother is your best friend. You have nothing to do but sit here and wait for me to finish practice," Caroline said.
"Urgh," Brea sighed slumping into her seat as Caroline ran off to cheerleading practice. While they were warming up, Brea saw Rebekah waltz up to Caroline and she sat straight up in her seat, watching them interact. When it looked like it was getting tense she stood up and ran down the bleachers to Caroline. "Hey you guys ok?" she asked Caroline.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Woah, oh my god, come with me," Caroline said grabbing Brea's hand and racing over to Tyler.
"Hey!" she hissed. "Got to be a little more subtle, Tyler," she whispered.
"Yeah Tyler!" Brea hissed. "Wait what happened?"
"Brea. Shh," Caroline hushed.
"Coming from the queen of subtlety?" Tyler asked his girlfriend.
"He's right," Brea said. "You are not subtle," she pointed out, which caused Caroline to glare at her. "Shutting up now," Brea said grimacing at Tyler.
"Relax," Tyler said, taking the heat off of Brea. "I'm in total control."
"Then why are you acting like this?" she asked.
"Drop it, Caroline," he asked. "I'm fine. I've never been better," he said, which caused Brea to frown in confusion. "Klaus has given me this gift."
"Wait. What?" both girls asked in unison.
"Hey, check out the new girl," they all heard someone yell and they turned to see Rebekah doing multiple flips, impressing the cheerleading squad.
"Oh my god," Caroline said disgustedly.
"Damn, girls got moves," Tyler admired.
"That was pretty cool," Brea said.
"Shut up," Caroline said. "Go sit back down.
"I'm not a dog," Brea scowled before trudging back to her seat.
"So I made her jealous?" Rebekah asked bouncing up to Brea.
"Why are you trying to make her jealous?" Brea asked putting her hands on her hips.
"I want her life, I'll see you at the bonfire," Rebekah smirked before she turned and ran back to practise and Brea dropped her hands from her hips and looked at her sadly. She knew underneath the facade, Rebekah really meant that. Caroline's life was the life she always dreamt of.
"I'll lure Stefan away from the bonfire. Then, when he's distracted..." Elena said as they all stood in Ric's classroom discussing their plan.
"I'll shoot him," Ric finished.
"Can't Bonnie just juju him or something?" Damon asked.
"Juju," Brea giggled quietly to herself.
"I'm trying to keep Bonnie out of this," Elena told Damon. "I don't trust that Stefan won't hurt her."
"Stefan's an ass," Brea said.
"Caroline," Elena said turning to her. "Are you covered?"
"Yes, I will make sure the old Forbes jail cell is prepped and ready."
"You're forgetting a key player here," Damon said. "Rebekah. Wherever Stefan goes a blonde ponytail tends to follow."
"Which is why it's you and Brea's job to keep her away," Elena said.
"I'm sorry, what?" Brea asked.
"The only person she's followed more than Stefan is you. She lined up all her classes so you have them together, you are our best hope of distracting her. But you're also flaky, so if you run off, Damon comes in," Elena said.
"I am not flaky," Brea defended.
"She's an original. Last time I checked, we're out of daggers," Damon snarked.
"Wish I had a dagger for her," Brea scowled.
"So then preoccupy her with your charm," Elena said.
"Might have better luck finding the dagger," Ric muttered.
Brea laughed. "Brilliant. Seriously though Elena, we need a slightly better plan than Damon's charm."
"You ever not going to be mad at me, Ric?" Damon asked.
"Doubtful," Ric retorted.
"Don't worry Ric, when you bulk me up, I'll kick his ass for you," Brea smirked.
"In order to bulk up you have to show up for the weight sessions," Ric said to her.
"I told Elena, I never got the message for the after school session. I was hanging out with Matt. My phone was turned off. Tyler never told me that you guys were weight training, even though you told him to tell me," she lied as Tyler walked through the door.
"I did tell you the message, you told me you were going to hide until it was over, and you weren't with Matt, you were at home watching a movie with Jeremy on the couch," Tyler said disputing every single one of her lies.
"Dude!" Brea hissed. "Give me my $5 back, you said you wouldn't tell."
"Sorry I'm late, what's going on?" he asked everyone as he placed a $5 note in Brea's hand.
"We were talking about kicking you out of the group, no narks allowed here," Brea said.
"Shh," Elena hushed her sister before turning to Tyler. "We need you to raid your mom's vervain supply. Enough to keep Stefan down for a while," she explained.
"You can't do that to Stefan," Tyler said.
"I know right," Brea said. "She is so not strong enough, she didn't join in Jeremy and I's secret training session because she was too busy at amateur hour with Ric."
"Brea!" Elena scolded. "Focus!"
"Yep, good point. Sorry," Brea apologised.
"Why not?" Caroline said turning to Tyler.
"Trust me, Tyler, it's in his best interest," Elena said.
"Yeah," Caroline smiled.
"But it's not in Klaus'," Tyler said and Brea frowned.
"But Klaus is the bad guy, Tyler," Caroline said confused. "Why are you acting like some freaky hybrid slave-minion?" she asked.
"Oh no," Brea said in realisation.
"Uh-oh," Damon also said as he stood up.
Brea stood up with him. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Brea asked him.
"What?" Ric asked them.
"Klaus made me who I am, Caroline," Tyler said. "I owe him everything."
Damon started walking towards him. "Oh boy," Damon said before looking at Brea. "Definitely."
"Dammit," Brea muttered and she walked over to Caroline and grabbed her friend's hand and slowly walked her away from Tyler.
"Ok, can we cool it on the commentary, please?" Caroline snapped at Brea and Damon.
"What is going on?" Elena asked.
Brea looked at Damon and saw him pick up one of Ric's vervain syringes and she nodded at him. Tyler noticed how tense the room was "I'm just going to go," and he made to leave but Damon ran up behind him and shot him up with vervain.
"What are you doing?" Caroline yelled ripping her hand out of Brea's and running towards her unconscious boyfriend.
"He's been sired," Damon answered.
"What?" Ric asked.
"Sired," Brea said slowly for Ric.
"I know what he said, what does it mean?" Ric asked.
"Oh," Brea said and shrugged at Damon for him to continue.
"He feels loyal to Klaus because Klaus' blood created him."
"Loyal how?" Elena asked.
"In the really bad way," Brea said.
"He'll seek acceptance from his master. It's rare. Maybe not so much in hybrids," Damon only.
"I've been around for a thousand years hanging out with vampires and I've only ever seen it a few times," Brea said.
"So how do I fix him?" Caroline asked.
"Get a new boyfriend," Damon asked.
"Damon," Brea scolded.
"Brea, what do we do?" Caroline asked.
"Umm.. coming Jeremy" she yelled before running out of the classroom.
Brea was circling the bonfire and watched Elena approach Stefan and Rebekah and she knew this was her time to move. "Beer me!" she cheered as she came up to the three of them, holding out her cup for Stefan to fill him.
"Case in point," Stefan to Elena, before taking her cup and filling it. "Both lightweights."
"I've had one beer. This is just my personality, Don't lump me in with her," she scoffed, taking her cup back "Did you skull yours?" she asked Elena.
"Yup," she popped.
"Oh I like you tonight," Brea smiled lightly shoving her sister's shoulder.
"You both should take it easy," Stefan said.
"Oh really? You think I'm going to let a blood addict tell me how to drink?" Elena snarked before storming off.
"Burn!" Brea laughed. "Where the hell is Matt?" she asked walking off.
"Wait up!" Rebekah called after her.
"Urgh," Brea whined turning back around. "I know you're blonde, but you're not Matt," she said taking out her phone only to drop it. "Dammit," she moaned and Rebekah bent down to pick it up.
"Here," she said handing it back. "Are you ok?"
"Are you ok?" Brea mocked in a high-pitched and Rebekah smiled. "Urgh, how does that never piss you off! Elena cracks it every time," she stormed away.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Just leave me alone, Rebekah, please."
"I think we need to talk," Rebekah said grabbing Brea's hand, "I don't want you to hate me."
"I don't hate you," Brea said.
"Oh thank god."
"I just wish you weren't in my eyesight, or in my life," Brea smiled. "Ok, bye," she said walking off again. Rebekah didn't follow this time, but Brea knew her eyes were on her.
"Twin!" Brea said running up to Elena and flinging her arms around her neck. "You look like you need another drink," she smiled at her sister.
Elena's eyes darkened as she caught sight of Stefan. "Fine," she said and held her cup up to him and drank it. "Are you actually drinking?" she whispered to Brea.
"Yeah! I've had a lot," she said. "And Tyler and Matt aren't even here to encourage me, well I don't know where Matt is but we know that Tyler is um…" she said realising vampires may be listening. " He's gone for a hike," she said so they didn't blow the plan. Elena tilted her head and Brea followed her gaze and noticed Damon and Rebekah flirting by the fire. "Oh yeah, I forgot that was my job."
"See, you're flakey," Elena said and Brea punched her arm.
"What's that look?" Stefan said coming up behind Elena.
"What look?" Elena asked.
"The look of pure awesome, cause that's what we are," Brea said holding her hand up for a high five from her sister which was not returned.
"My brother's got his flirt on. And you're jealous," Stefan said.
"I am absolutely not," Brea denied.
"Not you," Stefan said.
"I'm not jealous," Elena said.
"It's all right, be jealous. By all means. I'm sure Damon will be thrilled."
"I'm not jealous, Stefan," Elena said turning around, but deliberately stumbling a bit so it looked as though she was drunk.
"All right. It's my mistake," Stefan smirked as Elena took another drink.
"Whatever. I'm out of here," Elena said storming off.
"Now, I'm meant to be looking after both of you. Come with me," Stefan said to Brea.
"No way. I'm staying with the booze, you don't have the booze, so I'm not going with you," Brea smirked poking out her tongue. "Chase her yourself, she's a jealous party pooper," she giggled.
"What is wrong with you," he rolled his eyes. "Rebekah!" he called out, grabbing Brea's arm and marching her over to Rebekah and Damon. "You're in charge of her," he dropped her off like a child before following after Elena.
"Bekah! Damon!" she called as she made her way towards them. Rebekah smirked and leaned into Damon before subtly stabbing him through the stomach with a stick as Brea came in front of them. "Cool," Brea said unsure how to react as she looked between them. "You right?" she asked Damon and he nodded, pulling the stick out.
"Brenna, come. I'm dropping you home," Rebekah called out.
"Coming!" she sang, skipping after Rebekah.
England, 1492
"Come on, Brenna," Katerina said pulling her sister's hand.
"Katerina, stop," Brenna whined.
"Come on, I promised him I'd get you there."
"Brenna!" Niklaus called and Brenna froze and turned around.
"Nik!" she said with a smile. "Thank goodness."
"Lord Niklaus," Katerina hissed.
"Lord Niklaus," Brenna corrected with an eye roll.
"Are you two ladies ready for our ride?" he asked.
"Yes," Brenna said quickly.
"Well…" Katerina said at the same time.
"Brenna," Kol said as he raced down the hall.
"Kol," she breathed as she saw him and all her feelings came rushing back, and the nerves of seeing him faded.
"Brother," Nik scowled. "I was just about to take these two ladies out riding."
"Oh, really brother?" Kol smirked. "Maybe you can just take the lovely Katerina then because I have plans to show Brenna the grounds."
Nik went to protest but Katerina cut him off. "Yes, so perhaps just you and I can go riding Lord Niklaus."
Nik sighed. "Of course," before holding out his arm for her to hold, which she took before smiling at Brenna and walking away.
"You ignored me last night darling," Kol said holding out his arm.
Brenna smiled and held her hands behind her back, refusing his arm, and began walking forward. "You had company, I did not wish to be rude."
"Are you going to do that all day?" Matt asked.
Brea had been sent to the Grill for the day. Apparently, there were ghosts wandering around the town. Damon was worried that some of them would come after her. People weren't exactly fans of Katherine or the Originals and she was an easy target.
So Brea was stuck sitting at the bar in the Grill and was bouncing quarters into a whiskey glass.
"I'm bored," Brea complained.
"You've been hanging around vampires for 1000 years right?" he asked and Brea nodded. "Well, then no doubt there will be 1000 years of Klaus' enemies lurking around, so a crowded area like the Grill is probably the safest place for you until Bonnie works out what's going on. Let's just," he snatched the glass away from her, "get a table. Get something to eat."
"Ok!" she perked up.
Brea's phone began ringing as Matt and she waited for their burgers and she pulled it out to see Elena ringing. "Yo," she answered.
"Where are you?" Elena asked.
"The Grill. Damon forced me here this morning. I'm being supervised."
"Get to the boy's bathrooms now!" she said before hanging up.
"Umm, ok, I'll be back Matt, don't touch my drink," she said ordered, standing up and walking to the bathrooms. "Lena," she whispered knocking on the entry to the boy's bathrooms, unsure if she should go in, before the door was ripped open and Elena grabbed her arm and yanked her in. "Anna!" Brea said in shock as she spotted her old friend. "YAY!" she cheered, grabbing her old friend into a hug. "Oh hey Jer," she greeted her brother who was looking at everyone nervously. " What are you guys doing in here? In the guy's bathroom?" She looked around and studied everyone's face and it dawned on her. Jeremy and Anna were in the boy's bathroom. Elena caught them. "Oh my god!" she yelled and smacked Jeremy on the forehead. "That ass whooping I promised you if you upset Bonnie, that'll come tonight you absolute ass," she hissed. "I can't stay or I'll shove his head in the toilet again," she said turning to Elena. "You got this?"
"Yeah, just thought you should see," Elena said glaring at Jeremy.
"Idiot!" she yelled one last time before storming away and back to her booth with Matt.
"What the hell happened?" he asked.
"I hate my brother."
"No you don't," he smiled.
"Yes! I do! He cheated on Bonnie," she whispered.
"Oh my god," Matt leant back in his chair. "You're going to kill him. Yeah, you should probably not go home today. I'm not visiting you in jail."
"Yo?" Brea answered her phone.
"Hey," Elena replied.
"How's the ghost problem going?"
"Ghosts are gone. The town is safe," Elena sighed. "You staying at Matt's tonight?"
"Yeah, he thinks if I go home I'll kill our brother. Pfft," she scoffed.
"BREA! You left the stove on!" Matt yelled.
"Crap, gotta go, talk to you later," she hung up. "Coming!"
Italy, 1494
"Brenna! Brenna!" a voice called through the town and Brenna froze. "My witches tracking worked, you are here," Kol said running up to her. "I've been so worried darling," he said embracing her. "I missed you, my love," he said holding the back of her head. Brenna's body started shaking and tears ran down her cheek.
"Did you help?" Brenna whispered.
"Help what?" he asked placing a hand on her cheek, but she flinched away.
"Kill my family," she whispered, ripping her arms out of his hands.
"What?"
"In Bulgaria, did you help Niklaus murder my family?" Brenna snapped.
"Let's get inside," Kol said trying to usher her out of the street. "People are staring."
"No!" Brenna yelled. "Leave me alone!" she said as she turned and started walking away.
"Brenna," Kol groaned walking after her.
"That's not leaving me alone!" she growled.
"Well, I'm not going to leave you alone."
"Yes you are!" she said as she quickly turned and ran down an alley, by the time she reached the end Kol was already standing there.
"Relax would you love? I've come all this way to find you and this is not exactly the reception I was expecting."
"Oh just… go away," she said walking around him.
"Whatever you wish," he sighed, and Brenna turned around to find him gone, she turned to face forward and he was nowhere in sight so she took off, walking quickly to the room Katerina and she were renting.
Brenna flung open the door to their room and heard a bang as Katerina threw herself out of the stream of sunlight Brenna let in. "Door! Door!" she yelled panicking.
"Sorry," Brenna said quickly closing the door.
"You're crying," Katerina said walking up to her sister.
"We have to go," Brenna whimpered, "Kol found us, so Niklaus is probably not far behind him."
"He made you cry?" Katerina asked and Brenna nodded.
"I asked him about Bulgaria, about our family."
"He confirmed it? He confirmed he helped Niklaus slaughter our family?"
"Well he did not deny it," Brenna hissed.
"We have to leave," Katerina said. "Sit," she ordered her sister before she started zooming around the room packing up their belongings. "As soon as darkness falls we will run. I won't let that man upset you again. He's done enough damage, he won't hurt you again if I have anything to say about it. We'll get out of here," Katerina promised her sister.
