"๐ง๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ a disaster!" Caroline exclaimed as Anastasia walked out of Forbes's bathroom, a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth.
"Look, we don't know anything for sure." Stefan turns to Caroline with his arms out.
"Yes we do!" Anastasia's words are muffled by the toothbrush as she brushed her teeth, going back into the bathroom.
"Elena is sired to Damon! Which means her one singular burning desire to make him happy, just like Klaus and his hybrids!" Caroline says.
"No it's not. A vampire sired to another vampire is one in a million. Maybe it won't affect her the same way." Stefan tells the two.
"We already know it's affecting her." Anastasia says as she comes back out of the bathroom. "She's become Dad's little lapdog."
Stefan shoots her a look.
"It's true!" Caroline agreed with the only Salvatore girl, "Everything he says, she agrees with. Everything he asks her to do...she does.
"We need to do something."
Caroline pulls her phone out to call Elena, but Stefan stops her, "Wait, no, hold on Caroline. This isn't gossip. You can't just drop this on her before we know what's happening for sure."
"I need to talk to Tyler, okay? Maybe he'll know what to do."
"Alright, talk to Tyler but please don't tell anyone else. If this is true, then it may have influence on Elena's every action and emotion since she became a vampire." Stefan said.
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ please just come back to Mystic Falls?" Anastasia walks into the school as she has her phone pressed up against her ear, "Enroll in school and come keep me company as I try to stay sane around all of these dumbasses?"
Dylan chuckled, "And leave my amazing life out here in New York? I don't do small towns."
"You're from a small town in California called Beacon Hills."
"Okay, fine. I'll move out to freaking Mystic Falls, but I want the bedroom next to your room." Dylan tells her, "I'm not staying close to Stefan, and I'd rather not be in a room across the hall from the man - your father - who snapped my neck."
"Yes! Okay! Just hurry and get here, please!"
"I'll be there in a couple of days."
"What's got you so happy?" Caroline asked as the hybrid came to a stop next to her locker where she was talking to Bonnie.
"I convinced Dylan to move down here. I need someone other than you guys to keep me from driving a stake through my own chest."
Bonnie chuckled, "You can't die."
"You are one smart little cookie." Anastasia sends the witch a playful wink just as Elena approaching the girls.
"Elena, hey." Caroline greets the Doppelganger, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" Elena asked.
"Well, Caroline told me you had to move out to stay away from Jeremy." Bonnie says.
"Matt is at the house staying with him right now to make sure he keeps all of his hunter stuff in control. He's okay."
"But are you?" Caroline questioned, "I mean, clearly, they don't have a flat iron at hotel Salvatore."
"She's not using my stuff." Anastasia crosses her arms, "That shit is expensive."
"Oh - I was in a rush. I mean - look, do you girls have any plans tonight? I'm in desperate need of some girl talk." Elena says, taking her hair out of the bun it was in.
"I'm in." Bonnie says, "Shane taught me some small spells I've been wanting to try."
"Oh, creepy professor guy is just Shane now." Caroline says.
"Wait, backup." Anastasia holds her hands up, "Who in the hell is this Professor Shane guy?"
"He's the guy who took over my Grams's classroom." Bonnie tells the hybrid before turning to Caroline, "And he's not creepy."
"We're not judging."
"I am." Caroline and Anastasia say together.
"Don't listen to her." Elena says, "So, girl's night? We can raid the Salvatore wine cellar."
Caroline grows uncomfortable, "Um, are you sure that Stefan and Damon are cool with us crashing at their place? Anastasia, are you cool with us crashing at your place?"
"I'm cool with it." Anastasia shrugged as the girls turned to look at her, "Just don't touch my expensive shit."
Elena catches Damon out of the corner of her eyes, and she hopes that the others don't see him, "I can't go home because my brother is trying to kill me. So their place is mine now, too. I'll see you in a bit."
"It's not her place at all. When she died and became a vampire, the lease she signed when Klaus was coming for her went away." Anastasia rolled her eyes as she looked at the other two.
Caroline studies the green eyed girl standing in front of them before a grin takes over her face, "We've never ever been in your bedroom before."
"Really? Never?" Anastasia asked before she turns to walk away with a smirk on her face, "Because Dylan has on multiple occasions, and I wish he would just decide that he can get one of the many extra rooms in our house. Dumbass, kicking me in the back, I'll break his fucking leg."
"She has no filter." Bonnie giggled.
"I know." Caroline grinned widely, "I love her!"
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ to Tyler." Caroline tells Stefan over the phone, Anastasia standing with her.
"And?"
"The sire bond exists because the hybrids are grateful to Klaus for relieving them from the pain of having to wolf out every full moon, and that's why they have to turn until they're not ruled by the pain anymore." Caroline leans against a wall.
"Right, but Elena's not a werewolf so what's the vampire equivalent?"
"Well, that's the problem. There isn't one." Caroline pauses before turning to Anastasia, "Wait, didn't you turn Dylan?"
She nods, "I did."
"Okay, was he sired to you?"
"No." Anastasia shook her head.
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฆ down on the couch in the parlor, fingers dancing across her phone screen as she's quickly texting Kol back, as Elena comes up with a wooden crate filled with wine bottles.
"One for you." She takes one of the bottles out and hands it over to Bonnie who happily accepts it before she takes two more out, "One for you, one for you-,"
"No." Anastasia shakes her head without even looking up from her phone, "I've never been a wine drinker. It's disgusting."
"I'm assuming this is for either Stacie or Caroline." Bonnie holds up a blood bag that Caroline goes to reach for, but Elena grabs it before she can.
"Actually, it's for me." Elena says.
Bonnie and Caroline exchange a glance, both with surprised looks on their faces.
"I thought-,"
Anastasia looks up after locking her phone to see Elena drinking from a blood bag before taking it out of her mouth to show the three that she could now keep the blood down.
"Thanks to Damon, I am now a functional dysfunctional vampire." The Gilbert girl says.
"That's amazing."
"Uh, what do you mean "thanks to Damon"?" Caroline questioned.
"Well, he suggested that I try it again. So I did and it worked." Elena says, "No more snatch, ear, erase."
"So where is my least-favorite Salvatore?" Caroline asked.
Elena sits on the couch opposite Caroline and Bonnie, sitting down next to Anastasia as she holds her phone up to read the text message from Damon, "Out with Stefan for the night, don't wait up. Brother bonding."
"Hmm, so you guys check-in text now? What else do you do?" The blonde vampire asked.
"I know that you're not the biggest fan, but he kind of just changed my life." Elena tells her friend, ignoring the scoff that comes from Anastasia, "Would you mind laying off on all the hate?"
"Okay, new girls' night rule - no boy talk, yeah? Plus, why would we talk when we have this?" Bonnie spoke up to break the tension between Elena and Caroline, holding up bag full of black herbs.
"Is that stoner tea?!"
"It's spirit tea. It opens up your chi, or whatever." Bonnie says, "Come on, it's not drugs! Shane is helping me do natural magic without having to access the spirits."
"Hmm-hmm."
"I'd rather do actual drugs." Anastasia says as the three look at her in disbelief. "Hey, I've done both before! You get more of a buzz off of actual drugs than that shit. Actually, I've done some pretty crazy shit while high on Molly. Let's not talk about that period in my life."
"Don't judge."
Caroline looks at Bonnie, who stares back at her, "Okay, fine! I hereby vow not to be judgement for the rest of the evening! Even if you two are potentially ruining your lives as I stand idly by, it's your choice."
Elena stands up, "I'll drink to that." Bonnie and Caroline follow as they hold up their wine bottles, "Cheers."
Caroline spins around to look down at Anastasia with a wide grin, "Can we see your bedroom?"
"Why the hell not."
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐ช๐ข๐ช." ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ก๐ and the other two girls look around the large bedroom in disbelief. "This is so...pretty."
"Biggest bedroom in the house, too." Anastasia shrugged, sitting on the corner of her neatly made California King bed, "Only the best for Uncle Stefan's favorite girl."
"There's so much purple." Bonnie says as she looks at the purple curtains matching the covers on the large bed, with two white night stands on either side of the bed.
The large TV mounted on the way above the dresser, a large bookshelf filled with books and spell books, a large walk in closet and another door that led right into her gigantic bathroom.
"Is that you?" Elena pointed to the enormous photos hanging above the bed, "Who's the guy?"
"Kol." Anastasia smiles softly, "He was actually daggered when this was done. Klaus actually hand drew it as a 'I'm sorry, I tried to kill you and daggered Kol' present."
"Hey, who is this?" Caroline holds up a polaroid, "This isn't Kol, Dylan or Jeremy."
Anastasia stands up and walks over to her, plucking the photo from her hands, glancing down at it for just a second, the hybrid rolls her eyes, "Someone that I haven't seen in a really long time."
"Was he another boyfriend?" Bonnie asked.
Anastasia chuckled with a shrug, "He's no one important as he's not in my life anymore."
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ of the girls danced around the living room and drinking as Bonnie recorded away on her phone. Elena pours another glass of champagne for herself, but realizes the bottle is empty.
For a moment, she disappears out of the room into the dinning room and grabs another bottle as she stands on the table. Bonnie and Caroline cheer for the newly turned vampire as Anastasia stares down at her phone screen.
๐๐ข๐๐
๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ,
"Anastasia! Get off your phone, and come dance with us." Elena laughed, catching the girls attention.
Clearing her throat, the green eyed girl pushes her phone back into her back pocket and turns around to go back to the girls."
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
๐จ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ, ๐ง๐๐ found themselves in Damon's bathroom, Elena laying in the empty tub as Bonnie, Caroline and Anastasia sat down in front of it.
"Check this out. Vamp-speed video." Bonnie hands Elena her phone as the girl plays it.
Elena laughed, "I look like Superman. Watch this." She pauses the video and turns it towards the three girls, "This year's Christmas card. Being a vampire is so weird. Oh my God, I love this bathtub. Why don't we come and hang out here more often?"
"I'll tell you why. Cooties. Think of all the germ-ridden skanks that Damon has lured into his den of enequity." Caroline giggles as the three don't look amused at her joke, Elena sitting up in the tub. "Okay, I'm sorry. I've been good all night. I am stopping right now."
"No, don't stop on my account." Elena says sarcastically, "Rip away. I mean, it's only Damon, right?"
"Well, say what you want about Ripper Stefan, but at least he wasn't a man slut."
"Come on." Bonnie says as Anastasia stays quiet, knowing that she really didn't need to open up her mouth because no one would like the words that would leave her lips.
"So, what exactly was it about him that made you jump right into bed with him as soon as you met him." Elena voiced at her blonde friend.
"I didn't know what a sociopathic narcissist he was."
"He's always been there for me when I needed him."
"Oh, please." Anastasia rolls her eyes as she stands up from the floor, shaking her head as she moves to sit on top of the bathroom counter.
"Yeah, because he's hoping you'll sleep with him." Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Well, maybe I did."
All three girls stare at each other in shock.
"You did what?!"
"You didn't."
"I swear, I will snap a neck."
"Yeah, I did." Elena chuckled, "Look, I know the two of you have issues with him and that he's your dad, but I'm happy, and I wanted to spend tonight with my best friends so that I could tell them about it."
Anastasia's giggling made the three turns to look at her as she stood up from her spot, "Yeah, you're wrong about one thing. We're not best friends, Elena. You know, you talk all this poetic bullshit about being nothing like Katherine, but you are. And I'm not fucking scared to admit that."
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐๐๐๐ก๐, ๐๐ข๐ ๐ on." Bonnie spoke up as she and Caroline came downstairs to talk to her, the vampire cleaning up the mess and Anastasia no where in sight after she left the bathroom.
"Party is over." Elena puts the pillows back onto the couch, "You guys need to leave."
"Don't be mad, okay? We're just looking out for you." Caroline says to her.
Elena turns to look at them, "Do you think it makes me happy that you guys hate him? I get it. His track record has been kind of spotty but I don't hate him. I can't. He's - I think I'm falling in love with him."
"Ugh, you're not falling in love with him, Elena. You're sired to him." Caroline spills as she looks slightly ashamed of the words that left he mouth as Bonnie and Elena look at her in shock.
"No. There's no way, I...,"
"Are you sure?" Bonnie asked the blonde standing next to her.
"Yeah. Ask Stefan about it. He can explain it better than I can."
"I'm sorry, you talked to Stefan about this?" Elena asked angrily.
"It's not your fault, Elena. Okay, Damon took advantage of you."
"Okay, you need to leave." Elena strides past her two best friends and walks to the front door.
"Elena!"
"Come on!"
"I said leave."
"No, she doesn't." Anastasia's voice catches their attention as she walks down the stairs, "Anything that had to do with you stopped the second you took your last human breath. My house, therefore she stays, but by all means, you can leave."
Elena opens the front door, looking back at Caroline and Bonnie.
"Hello girls."
Standing on the porch are two of Klaus' hybrid's, Adrian and Kimberley.
Elena turns to look, but Kimberley rushes into the house and knocks Elena into the wall. She then rushes at Caroline and grabs her by the throat.
Adrian grabs Elena who fights back and pushes him into another wall. Eventually, getting the upper hand, Adrian slams Elena into the wall, both having their hands wrapped around the other's throat.
Bonnie starts to perform a spell that makes the lights flicker and breaks as Anastasia joins in to help her.
"Stop!"
Bonnie looks at Kimberley and stops the spell as the hybrid's eyes are now yellow.
"One bight from a hybrid and she's dead, remember?"
Adrian throws Elena to the floor and the witch helps her up from the ground.
As they turn around towards the front door, they see that Kimberley and Adrian are gone, but they also have taken Caroline too.
"Caroline."
"Tyler." The hybrid's voice causes Elena and Bonnie to turn in her direction where she was still standing on the steps, "Yeah, we have a problem. Two of Klaus's little hybrid bitches just attacked us. They took Caroline."
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐ ๐๐๐ง it, Hayley. I'll find them and I'll get them in line." Tyler says as he's talking on the phone with Hayley as Anastasia and Elena follow him through the woods.
"Bonnie says no luck with the locator spell." Elena says as the boy hangs up his phone.
"They've gotta be here. They're not dumb enough to risk getting caught by Klaus in town." Tyler tells the two girls.
"Well, what do they want with Caroline?" Anastasia asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Kim is trying to prove that she's the Alpha. If I can make her submit, the pack will fall in line and we can finally get them free of Klaus." Tyler explained, "You'd think they'd play along with how much they hate him."
"But Adrian doesn't, does he?" Elena asked, "I mean, he's still sired to Klaus."
"Being sired doesn't mean you feel differently about someone." Anastasia says, Tyler nodding in agreement with the other hybrid.
"I hated Klaus but I still did everything he said." Tyler continued from where Anastasia left off, "The bond affects how you act, not how you feel."
Suddenly, a scream breaks out through the woods.
"Caroline." Both Tyler and Anastasia breathe out, rushing after the sounds with Elena following behind him.
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ก๐'๐ฆ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ are tired up in shackles in the stables where Hayley and Tyler had been helping the hybrids break their sire bonds.
Kimberley presses down on the chairs and Caroline shouts out in pain.
"Why are you doing this?" Caroline hisses out in pain.
"To show Tyler who's in charge."
Kimberley cracks Caroline's wrists causing the vampire to scream out again just as the two hybrid best friends and Elena rush into the barn and towards them.
"Stop! Stop it, Kim. Caroline's with us. Alright?" Tyler tells her, "We're all on the same team."
"She's on your team, not mine."
Behind the three, the other hybrids enter the barn. The hybrids restrain Elena, Tyler and Anastasia while Kimberley continued to torture Caroline.
Tyler attempts to free himself from the grasp of the two hybrids that held him back, "Stop it! Stop!"
"Ease up, Kim." Adrian tells her, "Klaus won't like this."
"That's a very good point. Do you think he'll like this?" Kimberley picks up a stake, showing it to Tyler and the others.
"Kim! Don't do it. I swear to God!"
Kimberley lowers the stake towards towards Caroline's hear.
"I'll rip you to pieces, bitch!" Anastasia spat, struggling to get out of the hybrid's grip.
"No, wait, wait, wait, wait. If you really want to hit Klaus where it hurts, then torture me instead" Elena says.
"There's a thought." Anastasia rolled her eyes.
Elena ignores the comment, "He's fixated on keeping me alive. You want real revenge or not?"
Kimberley hesitates for a moment but lowers the stake. She gets up and moves towards Elena, grabbing her by the throat and getting ready to stake her when Tyler manages to get himself loose from the hybrids holding him back.
He grabs Kimberley and sticks his hand in her chest, grabbing for her heart. The hybrid gasps in pain as the other hybrids move towards her.
"Stay back! I'll rip her heart out right now!" Tyler exclaimed, "And then I'll let Anastasia have her fun with the rest of you! She likes the chase."
Anastasia chuckled, "That's true. I do."
The hybrids don't make any moves towards the pair.
Tyler looks at the girl in his arms dead in the eye, "Kim put you all at risk today but I'm not gonna hurt her. I'm not Klaus. I don't kill and torture my own friends to get what I want. Now, we broke the sire bond, but if you want to be free we have to work together. No one can step out of line. Now, you're either with me or you're against me. Submit. Submit or you die."
Kimberley falls to her knees, taking Tyler with him, keeping his hand in her chest and his grasp around her heart. "I'm....I'm sorry."
Tyler removes his hand from her chest, letting her gasp and catch her brother. The Lockwood boy stands up and looks at Kimberley. He looks around at the other hybrids.
Anastasia watches with a proud smirk on her face as one by one, the other hybrids get down on their knees, submitting to Tyler and showing that he's the alpha.
โห.เผ๐ฅธ
"๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐๐ sorry for him?" Caroline asked as she sat in a chair in her living room with Anastasia and Stefan.
"Look, there's no other way to break a vampire sire bond. As much as you and I both hate it, Damon does love Elena." Stefan says "Now he has to completely let her go. Ever imagine having to do that?"
"I didn't have to do that with Dylan. Dad killed him, sire bond over." Anastasia shrugged her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I told her. Okay, I kind of didn't have a choice." Caroline says, "All I know is he better do what he's supposed to do."
Stefan sits down, "He'll do it. He's not as bad as he wants you to think. He'll do what he needs to do, he told me he would?"
"Is that all that dad told you?" Anastasia looks over at her uncle with a blank look on her face.
"What do you mean."
"Hmm."
"Nothing. It's just." Caroline sighs, "It's just - how can you trust him?"
"Because I think he loves her as much as I do." Stefan says, "He can't be selfish with her. Not anymore."
"I think I'm gonna find a place to live." Anastasia breaks the silence, causing the two to turn towards her.
"What? Anastasia, the house is your house." Stefan looks at his niece.
"Not anymore, Uncle Stefan." Anastasia looks at him with a sad smile and watery eyes. "It stopped being a home being a home to me a long time ago. And with Elena staying there, I don't want to be there anymore. I can't - I can't live in a house where I know that my own father chose some girl over me again."
Caroline sits in silence as she listens to her best friend, hand over her mouth to stop the sobs threatening to escape.
"He's always going to choose someone over me, that's how it's always been. I - I just want him to pick me, his own daughter, just once."
"Hey, hey. Come here, kid." Stefan moves to hug his niece to his chest. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay."
Anastasia falls apart in her uncle's arms, loud and heart wrenching sobs leaving her as her shoulder shook. "I just want him to choose me."
