Two hours later found the four of them in a warehouse with the vampires feeding and Elena poking the one Rebekah was draining with a knife to see how long she would twitch.

"My girl is dead." Rebekah drops the body to the floor as Elena stopped poking the girl. "I'm bored."

"Nothing I can do about that now." Klaus hummed as he too dropped the one he was feeding on to the floor.

"What is your plan now?" Stefan asked as he looked up at Klaus.

"Well, I need to find a werewolf to test the whole doppelgänger blood thing." Klaus shrugged.

"Hold that thought." Elena said and pulled out her phone.

"Alpha" Mason said as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Hey Mason, how are you?" Elena didn't see the intrigued look Klaus was sending her as Mason called her Alpha.

"I'm doing okay." Mason laughed. "Except I had to listen to my nephew and your little brother going at it last night."

"Poor, poor Mason." Elena mock cooed.

"Anyway, what can I help you with, Alpha?" Mason chuckled.

"Do you know of any werewolf packs outside of Mystic Falls?" Elena asked slowly.

"Not at the top of my head, but I can ask around if you want?" Mason offered.

"That would be great, thank you Mason." Elena smiled in relief.

"No problem, Alpha." Mason almost preened at having pleased his Alpha. "I'll either call you when I find something or you could come to the Mansion when you get back."

"Sounds good." Elena agreed. "Talk to you later."

"Bye Alpha." Mason said as he hung up.

"I'll tell you as soon as he tells me." Elena smiled at Klaus.

"You never cease to amaze me, love." Klaus looked at her with an odd look in her eyes.

"Shit." Stefan hissed as he patted his pockets. "I think I forgot my phone at Gloria's Bar."

"So go get it and we'll start the cleanup." Klaus told him and stood up.

Three hours later, a tired looking Stefan walked back into the warehouse. Elena pulled him into a hug as soon as he came close to her, "What happened? I was so worried!"

"Gloria tried to do some spell or something on me." Stefan told her softly.

"What sort of spell?" Rebekah asked as she walked over to them.

"I don't know." Stefan pulled back from Elena and pulled his shirt up, showing them the burnt handprint on his chest. "But whatever it was it's taking a while to heal."

"That doesn't look good." Rebekah frowned, then when she saw him looking at the coffins around them, she smiled a little. "Dreary, isn't it? The Family cargo."

Elena snorted and as they looked at her she smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, it's just... 'Family cargo'."

"I'm surprised Elena hasn't tried to undagger at least Elijah." Stefan hummed as he looked around.

"I was going to but Rebekah talked me out of it." Elena huffed.

"Because Klaus would hunt me down and kill me." Rebekah looked at Elena who just pouted.

"Where is Klaus?" Stefan tried to find him. "There is something he and you need to know."

"He will be back soon, I think." Rebekah said, then she looked uncertain, "Stefan?"

"Yeah?" Stefan looked at her.

"I know that for you it has been 90 years, but for me it has only been a few days." Rebekah looked a little scared. "So I wanted to ask if you thought there was a chance of... you know... you and me?"

"I'm a different person now than I was back then." Stefan grabbed Rebekah's hand. "You might not like this version of me."

"Oh..." Rebekah looked down sadly.

"But if you want, we could go out on a date in Mystic Falls and then see where it takes us." Stefan kissed the back of her hand.

"Really?" Rebekah looked at him hopefully.

"If you want." Stefan smiled and Rebekah hugged him in happiness.

"Gloria's gone." Klaus came storming into the warehouse. "She's cleared out."

"You ruined a perfect moment." Elena glared at him.

"Gloria has not moved. She's dead." Stefan said and proceeded to show Klaus the handprint on his chest and tell him what happened. "I was saved by Kathrine and she started to ask me about why you were running ninety years ago and about someone called... Mikael?"

"Bloody hell." Klaus growled. "That fucking BITCH!"

"Calm down, Nik." Elena walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. "Just breath and be calm."

"We're going back to Mystic Falls." Klaus said after he had calmed down. "I've already loaded your bike and your bags on the truck, kitten."

"Homewards, my brave knights!" Elena called out and began to giggle.

XOXOXOX

Elena woke up with a smile as she stretched on her bed. After they had arrived back in Mystic Falls, Klaus and Rebekah had checked into a hotel while Stefan and Elena had gone to their respective homes.

She quickly got up and had a shower and then she put on black jeans with ripped knees, a black top, black shoes and grabbed the blue leather jacket from her closet as she made her way downstairs. She had invited Rebekah to lunch, and needed to get started so it would be done until Rebekah arrived.

"Elena!" Jenna almost tackled her in a hug as she walked into the kitchen.

"Aunty!" Elena called back just as enthusiastically. "I have missed you."

"Aww, I've missed you too." Jenna pulled back. "And I'm sorry that I wasn't here for your birthday."

"Your studies are more important than some day that people decided was important to celebrate." Elena laughed.

"You are the best niece anyone could ever ask for." Jenna beamed at her. "As for your birthday, I do have a present but it isn't wrapped or anything."

"You didn't have to get me anything." Elena smiled softly.

"I know but I thought it would be fun to have an Aunt/Niece spa day." Jenna chuckled.

"That sounds awesome!" Elena said excitedly. "When is it?"

"I thought we could go after my midterms." Jenna offered.

"Definitely." Elena nodded in agreement. "By the way, a friend is coming over for lunch, do you want to stay or are you busy?"

"I'm meeting Alaric at the grill but I don't have to leave yet so I can help you with the cutting of stuff if you want?" Jenna smiled and she watched as Elena walked over to the fridge and started pulling stuff out.

"We're making Chicken fajitas." Elena told her and together they started to make the lunch, with Jenna not allowed near the stove.

"So, who's this friend who's coming to lunch?" Jenna asked after a while. "If it was someone I knew you would just have said their name."

"Her name is Rebekah and she's Elijah and Nik... eh, Klaus's younger sister." Elena informed Jenna.

"She's an Original too, right?" Jenna looked up from where she was cutting yellow paprika.

"Yeah and she is awesome." Elena smiled just as there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!"

"Elena." Rebekah stood outside the door wearing one of the outfits Elena had picked out for her in Chicago consisting of tight white jeans, pink long-sleeved shirt, beige jacket and light brown, high heeled shoes.

"Rebekah, come on in." Elena smiled and held the door open.

"Thank you." Rebekah gratefully walked into the Gilbert house and followed Elena to the kitchen.

"Rebekah, this is the best Aunt in the world; Jenna." Elena introduced as they walked into the kitchen. "Jenna, this gorgeous, young-looking woman is Rebekah."

"Nice to meet you Rebekah." Jenna smiled and held out her hand.

"Likewise." Rebekah shook her hand with a small smile, not being used to people, least of all humans, accepting her so easily.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Jenna asked. "We have Coca-Cola, Fanta or B+."

"You would offer me blood?" Rebekah looked shocked.

"If you promised not to take to much you can have it fresh, otherwise we have blood bags in the fridge." Jenna beamed.

"Blood bag is fine, thank you." Rebekah mumbled confounded by these strange, accepting people.

"Elena told me that Klaus and Elijah are your brother." Jenna said as she placed the glass off B+ in front of Rebekah on the breakfast bar. "It must have been hard growing up with two older brothers."

"Four." Rebekah piped up.

"What?" Jenna looked at her.

"I have four older brothers." Rebekah smirked.

"Oh, you poor, poor girl." Jenna muttered in sympathy. "That is horrible."

"I love all my brothers." Rebekah admitted softly. "But I have always wished to have a sister."

"Well, I can be your sister if you want." Elena offered hesitantly, she had always liked Rebekah's character and hated how she had been treated in the show. "If it doesn't bug you that I look like Kathrine."

"Really?" Rebekah asked hopefully. "It doesn't bother you that I kill people?"

Jenna snorted before Elena could answer, "The more likely scenario is that you'll have to help clean up one of Elena's future killing sprees. It's a wonder she hasn't gone on one yet."

"You want to go on a killing spree?" Rebekah looked shocked as she turned to Elena.

"Yeah, sounds like a fun thing to do, you know?" Elena placed the food in front of them.

"You really are much more fun than the previous doppelgängers." Rebekah smiled, happy to have a friend who liked her for her without her having to pretend to be something she was not.

Before Elena could sit down so they could start to eat the doorbell chimed and Elena repeated what she said earlier when Rebekah knocked. "I'll get it."

Elena skipped up to the door and opened it, smiling wide at the person on the other side, "Nik."

"Hello, love." Klaus smirked at her. "I just wanted to know if your friend had found any werewolves yet."

"He hasn't called but I'm sure he will." Elena reassured.

"Of course." Klaus hummed. "Just how will he find werewolves?"

"Oh crap, I forgot to tell you, didn't I?" Elena looked down in annoyance at herself. "I'm sorry."

"If you tell me now, I won't be mad, love." Klaus assured her.

"I'll tell you but please don't be mad. Mason and his nephew, Tyler, are werewolves." Elena looked at him with big eyes. "Please don't turn them into hybrids if they don't want to."

"So, what you're saying is that I can turn them if I have their permission?" Klaus hummed in interest.

"Yes." Elena said simply.

"Fine." Klaus agreed. "But only because it's you asking."

"Thank you!" Elena hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

"You're welcome, love." Klaus whispered in her ear as he hugged back.

"Hey, you want to stay for lunch?" Elena asked as she pulled back.

"I would be delighted." Klaus agreed with a smile.

"Come in." Elena said as she walked in and towards the kitchen with Klaus following behind her.

"Klaus you sort of already know my Aunt Jenna." Elena said as they walked in. "Jenna this is Niklaus Mikaelson, the Big Bad Wolf and the Leader of the Cult of the Hybrid."

"You, Greta and Maddox aren't letting that go, are you?" Klaus chuckled with a dimpled smile.

"Nope." Elena beamed at him and went to get him a plate.

"It's nice to finally meet you when you're in your own body." Jenna smiled at him. "The dimpled smile is adorable, by the way."

"It's nice to meet you properly too, Miss Sommers." Klaus nodded at her, completely ignoring the dimple thing.

"I hope the three of you enjoy your lunch but I'm off to meet with Alaric." Jenna bounced up and walked towards the door.

"Have fun and use protection!" Elena called after her as she placed a glass of blood in front of Klaus.

The only thing Jenna did in response was to give Elena the middle finger before she walked out the door, making Rebekah and Klaus laugh.

"What are your plans for today, love?" Klaus asked as he took a bite of his food.

"Well, Bonnie asked me and Caroline to come over around 14:00, so I guess I'm going there after lunch with you both." Elena smiled.

"Bonnie?" Rebekah asked.

"Bonnie Bennett, my witchy friend." Elena chuckled.

"She tried to kill me, twice." Klaus almost sounded proud of that.

"Then after I've been at Bonnie's I'll come home to change and then there is the senior prank night at school." Elena told them, then she turned to Rebekah. "Wanna come with?"

"To the senior prank night?" Rebekah asked hesitantly.

"Yeah." Elena nodded. "I mean you are technically seventeen and even though you don't go to our school you might enroll in the future or something, right? And I could introduce you to some of my friends."

"I would like that." Rebekah smiled and looked down.

"Great." Elena beamed at her. "Should I pick you up outside the hotel or do you want to meet at the school?"

"You could pick me up." Rebekah told her.

"Sounds good." Elena nodded. "But you'll have to borrow Jeremy's helmet if you don't own one."

"He wouldn't mind?" Rebekah looked up at Elena.

"Nah, Jeremy is awesome that way." Elena finished her food first.

Elena felt her phone buzz in her pocket and pulled it out, "Hello my furry friend."

"I'm not furry at the moment, Alpha." Mason chuckled.

"Hmm, I don't know." Elena hummed. "You grow fur on your face every day."

"Funny." Mason deadpanned but you could hear the laughter in his voice.

"I know." Elena smirked. "What can I do for you?"

"I've found some werewolf packs as you wanted." Mason informed her. "Do you mind telling me why you wanted me to find them?"

"Do you remember Klaus, the guy I told you about?" Elena asked as she placed her plate in the sink, fully aware that both Klaus and Rebekah were listening in on her conversation.

"If you mean the guy Damon told me you thought was Santa the first time Rose told you about him?" Mason chuckled. "Then yes, I remember."

"Is Damon telling everybody about that?" Elena groaned as Klaus and Rebekah laughed at her.

"Come on, Alpha." Mason sounded very amused. "You thought Santa Claus was real."

"Well, how should I know!" Elena defended herself. "I had just recently found out that there were vampires, werewolves and witches, Santa wouldn't be that far-fetched."

"I guess you have a point." Mason agreed. "But back to the point, why did you want me to find werewolf packs?"

"Oh, right. Klaus is a hybrid between vampire and werewolf, actually he's the hybrid." Elena explained. "And he wants to turn some werewolves into hybrids but to do that we needed to find him some werewolves."

"And me and Tyler?" Mason sounded uncertain.

"Klaus promised not to turn you of you didn't want to be turned." Elena said softly.

"But if we wanted to?" Mason asked quietly.

"Then I would accept you both gratefully." Klaus spoke up loud enough for Mason to hear.

"Can we think about it?" Mason didn't raise his voice, knowing that Klaus would be able to hear him either way.

"Of course." Klaus said. "When you have decided you can tell Elena and she'll get in contact with me."

"Thank you." Mason murmured. "I'll text Elena the location of a werewolf pack."

"Much appreciated." Klaus smirked.

"Talk to you later, Alpha." Mason hummed and hung up the phone.

"Thank you, love." Klaus smiled at Elena a while later after Elena had forwarded the message of the location to him.

Elena smiled back at him as she started to clean up after their lunch.

XOXOXOX

Elena arrived at Bonnie's place a few minutes before Caroline and could see that Bonnie was worried about something. She didn't say anything, just sat down and watch her pace back and forth in the living room.

"Elena, Bonnie." Caroline said as she rushed in. "I am so, so sorry if I'm late."

"It's okay." Bonnie said with a queasy smile. "Can you just sit down beside Elena?"

"Bonnie, are you okay?" Elena asked after a while when Bonnie had just kept pacing without saying anything.

"I am about to tell you something I've figured out about myself and I'm freaking out." Bonnie admitted.

"You know we won't judge you or hate you for being yourself." Caroline assured her.

"I know but..." Bonnie took a deep breath. "I'm a lesbian."

"Okay and...?" Elena asked when Bonnie didn't elaborate.

"What do you mean 'and'?" Bonnie looked at Elena in shock.

"Bonnie, as long as you're happy that's all that matters to me." Elena smiled and stood up to pull Bonnie into a hug. "I love you and you are absolutely amazing just the way you are."

"You are our sister in everything that matters." Caroline joined in the hug.

Bonnie started to sob in relief at the acceptance from her friends, "Thank you."

"So..." Caroline pulled back with a smile a few minutes later when Bonnie had stopped sobbing. "Do you have a crush on anyone?"

"Caroline!" Bonnie gasped and Elena laughed.

"What?!" Caroline chuckled. "I'm just curious."

"I'm kinda curious too." Elena smiled. "So spill."

"Well, it's not a crush but I've always thought that..." Bonnies blushed and looked down. "Caroline is really beautiful."

"Aww, that is so sweet." Caroline hugged Bonnie again.

"Yeah, she's a gorgeous blond bombshell." Elena agreed with Bonnie.

"So, have you ever kissed a girl?" Caroline wanted to know with a devious smirk.

"No." Bonnie mumbled with a blush.

"Do you want to?" Elena offered. "We both know we don't like each other like that but what's a little practice amongst friends, right?"

"Are you seriously offering to make out with me so I can get practice?" Bonnie looked shocked. "You're not into girls."

"No, but I don't judge and I don't mind kissing." Elena smiled.

"She's already made out with Bree more than once and then when my mom become suspicious about me, she offered to make out with me to make my mom believe that the thing I had been hiding was me experimenting with girls." Caroline giggled.

"You are the best friend ever!" Bonnie looked at Elena with a bright smile.

"Thank you." Elena mock bowed to them both.

Bonnie walked over to Elena slowly then, hesitantly she placed her lips against Elena's soft ones. Elena was kind enough to let Bonnie set the pace off the kiss and they kept it to just a pressing off lips until Bonnie slowly brought her tongue out to lick at the seam of Elena's lips.

Elena opened her mouth to Bonnie and the kiss turned a little heated until Bonnie pulled back with a smile.

"That was hot!" Caroline gasped from beside them and the three of them laughed.

"That wasn't so very different from kissing a boy though." Bonnie hummed. "The only notable difference is that your lips tasted like cherries and were a bit softer."

After that, Elena, Caroline and Bonnie just spent time laughing and being with each other like the good old days, when there was no knowledge off the supernatural and everything was okay.
