At Klaus' family mansion Elijah, Rebekah, Annalise, and Klaus were gathered around a table.

"May we get this over with already?" Anna asked knowing this early day might end with pissed off siblings.

"I agree. Elijah, being a human means a fresh start. I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters." Rebekah started off.

The hybrid laughed loudly, "Well, that was poetic."

"Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus, please." Elijah signaled for his younger brother to continue.

"Silas can appear as anyone. He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. He will torment me until I give him the cure." Klaus clarified.

Anna was picking strawberries from a plate as she watched the siblings.

"And in doing so he will break down the wall to the Other Side." Rebekah added in after.

"So it doesn't trap him there when he dies. He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate." Klaus looked at Elijah "You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion."

"He will open the floodgates for every supernatural being that has ever died." The blonde Mikaelson retorted.

"Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back." The hybrid told Elijah.

Rebekah scoffed, "Please, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life."

The heretic stuffed a strawberry in her mouth, this wasn't going to end well.

"Elijah, please." Klaus said, looking at the older Mikaelson.

"Your personal discomfort might not be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness." Elijah spoke, agreeing with Rebekah.

"Tell me you're joking. Tell me you're not fating me to an eternity of torture." The hybrid deadpanned.

"I made my decision." Elijah simply said.

Anna gulped down her strawberry as she watched Klaus swiftly stand up and leaned down to speak into Rebekah's ear. "When you're sick and dying, and you beg for my blood, I will laugh in your face and compel you to forget me."

Klaus leaves the room. Rebekah remained carefully composed as she touches her hair and clears her throat.

The heretic stood up from the table catching the attention of the two siblings, "I'm going to talk to Nik, carry on." she then proceeded to leave the room after Klaus.

She searches the house for him and finds the hybrid by the fireplace, "Well if it isn't moody Nik." she playfully said.

"What do you want Anna?"

"Nothing just came to make sure you were okay and still thinking straight."

Klaus turned to face her, "Well I'm thinking quite clearly now."

"Nik, please don't try and do anything." the heretic said hoping that Rebekah could even get to see what being happy again is like.

"And me? My own brother just sentenced me to endure my immortal life getting tortured." Klaus loudly said.

"I'm sure Elijah isn't thinking that way." Anna said but that ticked the hybrid off even more.

"And there you are defending him. So how was your little trip with my brother? Huh? Besides the fact that you forgot to mention it would be him you were leaving town with. You two must have enjoyed each others company." Klaus was on the verge of yelling.

"Shut it Nik! What's the matter with you? Why are you so angry about me getting along with Elijah, is it that big of a sin to you?" the heretic questioned not understanding why it angered him.

Klaus scoffed, in his mind he thought Anna was gonna abandoned him for his older brother. His abandonment issues were shining through. Anna was his best friend, someone who didn't judge him or thought of him as a monster.

The hybrid knew his brother was starting to fancy Anna there was no doubt of that.

"Just go." Klaus suddenly said.

Anna was taken back, "What?"

"I said to leave Anna unless you want me to compel you to do it." Klaus snapped.

This was the first Annalise had heard Klaus threaten to compel her. It shocked the girl.

"When you finally get your head out of your own ass then we can talk." the brunette stormed out.

Elijah was in the living room having heard the entire argument. He went to talk to Anna but she walked passed him going for the door.

"If you need me, I'll be at the bar." she said then slammed the door behind her.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Annalise arrived at the Mystic Grill. She sat at the bar as a bartender looked at her, "Whiskey cocktail." she ordered.

"Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?" a voice said to the heretic.

The girl sighed as Damon sat beside her, "What do you want Damon."

"Just came to see why you basically stormed in here." he tilted his head at her.

"Reasons" was all she said.

"Well now that I'm here hope you don't mind that I join you for a drink." the raven haired male said.

"So how's your rogue vampire situation going?" Anna asked him.

"If your talking about Elena, it's going great." Damon grinned as he held a glass of bourbon.

"There's no need to lie,"

"Well, Elena hasn't killed anyone for about 8 days I call that progress." the vampire said as he sipped his bourbon.

"You're going to have to try a lot harder to get her to flip her emotions back on."

"I don't suppose you know a few ways to do that?" he asked her.

Annalise turned her head, "Have her relive memories where her emotions shined through the most, happy ones or sad ones doesn't matter as long as it's full of a powerful memory. Or get her angry enough, either one will do."

"Thank you Anna, you see you can be helpful." Damon grinned.

The brunette rolled her eyes, "Oh shove off."

"You have any experience with no humanity vampires?"

"I was one before"

Damon faked gasped, "You mean this is you with your humanity, you must be a cruel little thing with it off." he joked.

Anna smiled and shook her head, "I can be very mean Damon, don't test me."

"So how does the story go for you and no humanity?"

The heretic sighed, "It was centuries ago, and I turned them off when I was fairly new to being a vampire. I couldn't take the rush of emotions and how everything was multiplied so I just turned it off."

"Wow, so it's like a thing for new vampires to just shut it off now huh."

"Better keep an eye out for Elena, she's out of hand and even I can tell."

Damon looked at her, "You want to come to prom tonight? Stefan and I will take care of trying to get her switch on but you can just be there with Rebekah and make sure Elena doesn't kill anyone. I could use the help and since your also a witch it's like two in one."

Annalise chuckled, "All right, gives me an excuse to kick her ass if she tries to hurt anyone."

"You're not so bad as you come off little lady."

"Whatever you say Damon."

The vampire smiled and walked out of the bar.

And now she was going to prom.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

The night arrived and Anna walked up to Mystic Falls Highschool. The heretic was dressed in a long black simple dress with thin straps and her hair was down. The girl wore Elijah's necklace, and she hadn't taken it off since he gifted it to her.

The girl walks the red carpet when she finally sees Rebekah.

The heretic smiles and makes her way over to the blonde.

"You look beautiful Beks."

The Original turns and smiles at her friend. "As do you Anna, what are you doing at prom?" she asked the brunette.

"Damon asked me to come to keep Elena in check, she tries to do something and I can hurt her, it's a win-win." Annalise smiled.

Rebekah chuckled and linked arms with the girl, "Well that sounds lovely for you, I have to act human until midnight for Elijah to hand me the cure."

Anna's eyes widened a bit, "Well, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I'm here if you need me."

"You really are a great friend. Honestly I don't care if I never have any other friends, I'm glad to have you." Rebekah hugged the heretic.

"Of course Rebekah, it's the least I can do."

The two girls went to the punchbowl where Matt approaches them, Anna gives her friend a look and walks away going towards the raven haired vampire.

"Well your looking awfully glum Damon." the girl said and then looked at where his eyes were lurking.

Anna saw Elena and Stefan dancing.

"Reason detected."

Damon sighed "Did you need something Anna?"

"Not really, just walked over here to talk. Heartbreaks, they hurt don't they."

"You ever been heartbroken?" he asked her.

"Once, before I became a vampire. I loved someone, but it didn't end well for me." The girl answered as she stared ahead.

"What happened?"

"What always happens Damon, it didn't last." she sighed.

The vampire looked at her and held his hand out, "As two people who are now upset over something they have no control over, would you care to dance?"

Anna chuckled, "Not at all." she placed her hand in his.

The two began to dance while making jokes with one another.

Stefan approached Rebekah's side, "Since when did they get along?"

"I have not one bloody clue."

Elena watched the two dance before walking away.

 Damon caught sight of his brother who was calling him over, "Excuse me Anna, seems like I'm needed by my little brother."

"Go ahead." she said as they broke apart.

Damon went over to Stefan, "What's up?"

"What's with you and Anna?"

"What?"

"You heard me, since when did you two have a thing for one another?" Stefan asked.

"Okay one, we do not have a thing going on were just friends I guess and two what do you care?" Damon crossed his arms.

"I don't, I'm just worried that Elena is going to kill someone tonight."

"And Anna's got that one covered. She's watching Elena making sure she doesn't do anything so that we can focus on getting her back." Damon explained.

"And how are you sure she won't just kill Elena?"

"She has no real reason to kill her, hurt her maybe yes but not kill. And I believe Anna is someone who kills when she has a cause."

"Whatever Damon, let's go find Elena."

On the other side of the room Anna catches Elena choking April. The heretic grins and uses her vamp speed to push the vampire off the girl and pin her against the wall.

"Play nice Elena, I was given permission by your boy toys to hurt you if you tried to kill someone."

The vampire scoffed, "Oh please, are you trying to scare me?"

Elena puts her hand on Anna's throat in hoping to push her off but the heretic grabs her hand and twists it off her.

"You're not stronger than me, so don't try it." Anna smiled before letting her go.

"You two are going to cause a scene." Rebekah sighed.

"Only if she forces me to." the Martin girl said before walking away to get some punch.

She filled her glass and took a sip as Damon approached her, "Well this is disgusting, what punch isn't spiked at prom?"

Damon chuckled and took out his flask and poured a bit into her cup.

Anna eyed him suspiciously.

"It's not vervain, bourbon if you must."

The brunette sipped her drink and sighed, "Much better"

The vampire chuckled, "So how's it going for you?"

"If you're talking about Elena, she just threatened... April? I think was her name, it was funny because for a second she really thought she was stronger than me, ah the arrogance of new vampires." Anna laughed.

"Yeah, keep making sure she doesn't hurt anyone."

"It would be my pleasure Damon."

He nodded and walked away towards Caroline as Anna caught sight of Elena and Rebekah.

April begins to speak from a podium on the stage.

"Hey. Okay, the ballots have been tallied, which means it's time to announce this year's prom king and queen."

Anna took a sip from her punch.

"All right, your prom king and queen are...Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett."

The crowd cheers as a spotlight shines on Matt and Bonnie.

Anna watches as Elena starts smiling sinisterly.

She follows the vampire who went into a tent, Elena attacked April slamming her head on the table and biting into her neck.

Anna rushed and pushed her off while kicking the vampire in the stomach.

Matt caught April who was unconscious in his arms.

Anna looked over at Elena who ran away and back at the dying girl.

She groaned in frustration and she kneeled down biting into her wrist. Matt watched as Annalise placed her blood into April's mouth.

"Keep watch of her." she told the human who just nodded.

Anna went after Elena who was on the floor withering in pain casted by Bonnie.

Stefan and Damon were yelling for her to stop.

The heretic snapped Elena's neck making Bonnie stop. "You could have just snapped her neck from the beginning." Anna crossed her arms.

Bonnie thought Anna was here to hurt them so she started a spell to hurt her.

"Are you trying to give me a migraine?" The brunette tilted her head. She was actually getting a migraine.

"Damon get your witch under control."

"She's helping us Bonnie." Damon told the witch.

"Oh, sorry." she told Anna.

"Not to worry about it, but you might want to work on that spell love, won't hurt anyone strong enough."

Bonnie just nodded and walked away looking awfully tired.

"Seems as if what I was called for is done, keep her under control." Anna told the Salvatore brothers as she pointed at Elena's limp body.

"Will do little lady." Damon smiled.

The heretic turned and walked away, going back to Rebekah's house.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Annalise walked up to the house where Elijah stood on the phone with a confused face.

"I think it might be a little late for that." The Original said.

Anna furrowed her brows as Elijah ended the call.

"What's wrong?"

The Mikaelson looked at her and his eyes widened, she looked beautiful.

"Elijah?"

He looked into her eyes, "It seems as if I gave the cure to Silas." he finally answered.

"What?" she almost shouted.

"He disguised himself as Rebekah, turns out it wasn't Rebekah since she is still at prom."

Annalise sighed, "Bloody hell."

"How was your night?" Elijah asked her.

"Fine I suppose." she said walking past him and into the house.

She sat onto the couch and sighed, "So what's Klaus up to?" she asked him.

"I suppose doing whatever is in his nature." Elijah replied as he sat next to her.

The two locked eyes. Anna could feel herself blushing a bit but she couldn't find it in her to look away.

Elijah's eyes flickered down to her lips making her suck in a breath, he looked back into her eyes wanting nothing more than for his lips to touch hers, he craved it.

The Original sighed and stood up, "You should get some rest, I imagine it was a long day for you."

Anna looked a bit disappointed, "Right. I'll get out of your way." she quietly said walking up the stairs.

Elijah watched her disappear onto the second floor.

He wanted to kiss her, more than anything.

But Klaus did not approve.
