066. rose

"We're getting close. Jeremy said there's an access road just past mile marker 6." Stefan said, looking at his phone. Meanwhile Damon took a blood bag from the back seat, as Lexa gave him a confused look. He started drinking it, and casually looked over at Stefan.

"If you want some, just ask." Damon said, as he was clearly going to start a blood related conversation to do with Stefan's unusual diet. Feeling weirded out by this, Lexa plugged in her earphones and listened to music.

Listening to Take me on the floor by the Veronica's, she pretty much started dancing in her seat and lip syncing, as it was her favourite song at the moment. When she looked in the rear vision mirror, she found the Salvatore's had both stopped talking for a moment to give her a weird stare. She deadpanned them, and flipped them off, before she went back to having her own little party.

Minutes later, So what by P!nk played, and she continued to jam out, but stopped as she received a text message. It was from Sienna reading, "This is lame buuuut, I already miss you"

Lexa felt her heart flutter, before she typed back, "Miss you too, my love ❤️" hoping to stop by the Lockwood mansion when she could.

The car came to a stop, and Alexia took out her earphones. "Are we there yet?" She asked, as Damon turned around to deadpan her. "The house should be just beyond those trees." He said.

Damon then turned to Stefan, "Wait, I got a lot more experience than you do with those sorts of things." He noted. Stefan just frowned. "What is your point?" Lexa asked from the backseat, wanting to get her twin back already. "My point is, whoever has Elena is probably who was after Katherine in 1864 and before that." Damon explained.

"And?"

"And it puts them at 500 years old and strong. Are you sure you guys want to do this?" Stefan and Lexa shared a glance before Stefan answered, "Yeah, I'm certain I want to do it." Alexia replied with, "This is my sister we're talking about- so yes, without question." Damon sighed, "Because if we go in that house, we may not come back out."

"Alright, then we won't come out." Lexa shrugged. Damon turned to face the brunette, "So noble, Lexa."

"I can't think of a better reason to die, but if you want to stay here, I'll totally understand." Stefan said, looking to Damon, before he and Lexa got out of the car. Moments later, Damon did too, following the pair.

Now sneaking inside, hiding, they could overhear an unfamiliar voice. "Tell me where the moonstone is."

Elena answered, "In the tomb, underneath the church ruins." Hearing her voice, Lexa face fell, recognising that she was scared.

"What is it doing there?"

Elena answered, "It's with Katherine."

"Interesting."

Suddenly, glass shattered, as Lexa turned to see that Damon had punched a window, wanting to startle the kidnappers. She frowned, before giving him a look as if to say, "Why?" Damon didn't answer, and the wound on his hand instantly healed.

"What is that?"

"I don't know." A third voice answered, also of which was not familiar to them.

"Who else is in this house?"

"I don't know."

Damon sped off to another part of the house, making more noise to startle Elena's kidnappers. Stefan approached Lexa, and held out his hand. She smiled before she took it, and their hands glowed red as the Gilbert siphoned magic from him. Lexa mouthed the word, "Thanks." Before Stefan sped off like Damon had, to make more noise.

The stranger went upstairs, and Lexa freaked out, trying to stay quiet and hidden. "Down here." Damon's voice could be heard from downstairs, and the man turned around to receive a stake, stabbed into his hand.

He removed it, but then noticed that Elena and the third person were now gone. What he didn't know is that Elena was hidden with Stefan, and the other stranger with Damon.

"Excuse me. To whom it may concern, you're making a great mistake if you think that you can beat me. You can't. Do you hear that?" The stranger said as he broke a wooden coat rack into a stake. "I repeat, you cannot beat me. So I want the girl, I'm gonna count to three or heads will roll. Do we understand each other?"

Quickly, Lexa ran out from her hiding spot, hovering around the top of the stairs, wearing Elena's hoodie that one of the Salvatores had given her when swiping Elena.

"I'll come with you, just please don't hurt my friends, they just wanted to help me out." Lexa insisted, as the man suddenly zoomed up the stairs, using super speed. "What game are you playing with me?" He asked sternly, before a smirk graced her lips.

"Motus."

The man was thrown down the stairs, hitting the floor with a thud. It was at this moment he realised that like Katherine, Elena had a magical twin.

"Incendia."

The man set on fire, screaming in pain. The fire extinguished after a few moments, and the stranger went to super speed towards Lexa, but was met with Stefan, who shot him with a compressed air weapon.

It didn't hurt him so Stefan threw the weapon and rushed at the man and tackled him. They fall down the stairs. Lexa frowned and held up her hand, calling out, "Motus." Hoping to remove the man from Stefan, but she was out of magic. "Fuck." She blurted.

The man got up, as Stefan laid on the ground. He went to charge at the Salvatore but suddenly Damon appeared, staking him. Seeing the man dead, the other stranger ran away.

"Just let her go." Elena said, stepping out of the shadows. "Lena!" Alexia called out, rushing over to embrace her twin. Elena hugged back, beyond grateful for Lexa and the Salvatores. "Thank you for coming Lexa.." Elena said, "I love you." She added. Lexa smiled before she replied, "I love you too."

As the sisters let go of eachother, Elena then raced down the stairs and into Stefan arms. "Hey come here. Are you hurt? Are you okay?" He asked, hugging his girlfriend. As they embrace, Elena looked at Damon and mouthed a thank you and Damon mouthed back a you're welcome.

As Tyler sat on the lounge, Caroline entered the room with a bottle of some sort of spirits, and two glasses. "You know, this sounds crazy but alcohol helps or at least it helps me. You know, with all that inside jittery stuff." She explained, placing the glasses down. "I'm hot. It's like my skin is on fire." Tyler admitted as Caroline poured them each a drink. "Really? I never had any of that. I guess wolves are different. At the beginning, I was very, very emotional. Everything was heightened."

Suddenly, Sienna stood in the doorway, overhearing their conversation. "I have that. How can you be a vampire?" He asked. The other Lockwood froze, remembering the night of the carnival. Caroline just asked, "How can you be a werewolf?"

"Who else is like you?" Tyler asked as Caroline shrugged, "Just me. It's a really long story we can share another time. How many other werewolves are there?" She asked. Suddenly, Sienna spoke up as she entered the room now. "Just us, and Mason."

Tyler and Caroline turned to her, as she gave them a weak smile. She sat in between them now. "Look, Tyler...You can't tell anyone, okay? Not about you or Sienna, not about me. No one will understand." Caroline insisted, as Tyler looked to Sienna, who gave him a serious look. "I know." He answered.

"I want to tell you about my Mum and yours and the founding families and the council but I need you to promise me no one will find out about us." Caroline said as Sienna piped up with, "This is life and death, Tyler."

"I have no one else to tell." Tyler insisted, looking at his cousin and his friend.

"I'm sorry about earlier. It's just, I feel alone with this. It's gonna happen to me. On the next full moon, I'm gonna turn and I won't be able to stop it. I'm scared." He admitted, as Sienna looked at him empathetically. It could be a guardian thing, but she could sense his fear. She reached out and placed her hand on Tyler's arm. "It's okay Ty, I'll be with you every step of the way." She said, smiling weakly.

Tyler's eyes filled with tears before he reached forward, and embraced Sienna. The other werewolf was taken by surprise, but instantly hugged her cousin back.

As Stefan was in the library. He heard a noise and realised that a vampire was running around him. He grabbed a stake before asking, "Who's there?"

"We have an intruder." Natasha's voice was heard, as she caught the stranger, her hand around her throat. "I'm not here to hurt you." They said as Natasha glared, "Who are you?" She snarled. "Rose." The girl answered.

Stefan stepped into the room, "Why are you here?" He asked. Natasha let go of Rose, as she walked over to Stefan, "Lexi once told me that you're one of the good ones."

"You knew Lexi?"

Rose nodded, "Yes, and Brooklyn too. Trevor was my best friend. For 500 years I have lived with one person and he's gone and I don't want to run anymore because I don't have anywhere else to run to." She explained. Natasha crossed her arms, "Well, sorry but we can't help you." She said, her voice now overly sweet.

Rose looked to the Petrova and then to the Salvatore. "I don't need your help but I think you need mine. Elijah may be dead but this isn't over." She said, referring to the stranger they had fought earlier.

"Elijah? You guys killed Elijah?" Natasha asked, looking to Stefan in surprise.. knowing that there was no real way that man could stay dead. Stefan nodded to Natasha before looking back to Rose, "What do you mean it's not over?" He asked.

"It isn't over. The Originals, they'll come for her. They have to. They're doing it for him." Rose insisted as Stefan frowned, but Natasha stayed quiet, knowingly. "For who?" The Salvatore asked. Rose and Natasha answered in unison, "Klaus."
