《Is This Hell?》Reckoning teen spirit part 1

Elena stood outside the hotel where the Mikaelson siblings were staying, waiting for Rebekah to come out.
"Hey, I hope you haven't waited long." Rebekah walked over to her with a smile.
"Not at all." Elena held out Jeremy's helmet towards Rebekah.
"Are you sure that your brother won't mind me borrowing his helmet?" Rebekah asked as she slowly accepted it.
"I did actually ask and the only thing he wanted in return was to meet you tonight at the school." Elena straddled her bike.
"I would love to meet him." Rebekah chuckled as she got onto the bike behind Elena.
"I hope you like speed." Elena laughed and sped away towards the school.
"That was so much fun!" Rebekah sounded elated as they arrived at the school.
"Almost as fun as vamp-speed." Elena agreed and they started to walk into the school.
"Almost." Rebekah nodded with a smile.
"Hey guys!" Elena called out as they joined Tyler, Caroline and Bonnie in a dark classroom. "I hope you don't mind that I brought Rebekah with me."
"Of course not." Caroline smiled, then she turned towards Rebekah. "Hi, I'm Caroline."
"I'm Tyler." Tyler waved at her from across the room from where he was doing something for a prank.
"I'm Bonnie." Bonnie smiled and blushed as she introduced herself to Rebekah.
"Nice to meet you all." Rebekah smiled at them, feeling exited to have friends that maybe wouldn't want anything from her except her friendship.
"Are you enrolling here?" Bonnie asked as she started tying some strings together.
"Yeah I was thinking about it." Rebekah nodded as Elena showed her what to do.
"That's awesome!" Caroline cheered. "With you, Elena, Bonnie and me, we would rule the school."
"What am I?" Tyler asked, mock offended. "Chopped liver?"
"You can be arm candy." Rebekah offered then she froze, what if they didn't like her sharp tongue.
"Yeah, Tyler, you can be arm candy." Elena smirked and all the girls burst into laughter.
"You're not so bad." Tyler smiled at Rebekah.
"And she's right." Jeremy chuckled as he walked into the room. "You would make great arm candy."
"Thanks." Tyler kissed Jeremy.
"Hello, I'm Jeremy." Jeremy walked over to Rebekah and held out his hand. "I'm Elena's younger brother."
"Nice to finally meet you and thank you for the loan of the helmet." Rebekah shook his hand.
"No problem." Jeremy smiled.
"So, you and Tyler?" Rebekah asked slowly.
"Are together, yes." Jeremy nodded. "I hope that doesn't bug you."
"I'm over a thousand years old." Rebekah laughed. "After a few decades, you stop caring about what is seen as right and wrong."
"The things you must have seen." Caroline said with a faraway look. "Have you ever met royalty?"
"Yes, I have." Rebekah chuckled, happy that they seemed to accept her even when they knew what she was. "Me and my siblings were even considered close to royalty in England in the 1400s."
"That is so cool." Bonnie gasped.
"Yeah, it had its moments, but the smell, ugh the smell." Rebekah shuddered.
"Huh?" Caroline looked confused, as did Bonnie.
"They didn't have any running water, so most people didn't bathe very often." Rebekah explained. "Plus, the piss and shit that the servant basically just poured out of the windows straight into the street... well, you can guess."
"Eww." Caroline shuddered in disgust.

Suddenly someone stepped into the room and set of the some of the mouse traps that Caroline and Bonnie had set up and when the light turned on, they saw Matt standing there.
"Ohh! Oh, come on! Seriously?!" Caroline groaned and glared at Matt. "Do you know how long it took me and Bonnie to set all this up?!"
"Forgot about senior prank nigh, huh?" Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Matt is sort of a friend but I don't really like him. He dated Caroline for a while and the only thing he did was make her feel bad about herself." Elena whispered so only Rebekah could hear her. "I'll tell you more later."
Rebekah gave a subtle nod to Elena to show she understood and then she turned to look at Matt. He was sort of plain, sure he had that handsome, sweet, boy next door look, but all in all, he was plain.
"How could you forget?" Caroline glared at Matt. "We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year."
"By the way, Matt, this is Rebekah." Elena introduced. "Rebekah, this is Matt."
"Nice to meet you." Matt nodded at Rebekah, then he turned to Elena, not waiting for Rebekah to say anything which was very rude. "I'm kinda surprised you are doing this."
"Pranking people is a specialty of mine." Elena smirked and picked up a bag.
"You're a devious genius, Alpha." Tyler hummed and grabbed his bag and walked towards the door. "And I've got ten more classrooms to prank."
Elena linked her arm with Rebekah's and pulled her along as she walked away.
"Hey!" Bonnie called out. "Where are you going?"
"To superglue Alaric's desk shut." Elena laughed. "Rebekah is going to help me to create memories."
"I love you!" Caroline smiled at her.
Arm in arm Elena and Rebekah walked out of the class room on their way to superglue Alaric's desk. They see Tyler outside the classroom, giving instructions to other students while handing them rolls of saran wrap.
"Get the faculty toilet seats and Dana needs bodies in the gym." Tyler told them. "Let's go."
Elena and Rebekah laughed and opened a set of double doors and Elena found herself face to chest with an Original Hybrid.
"Hello, love." Klaus chuckled.
"Nik!" Elena laughed and hugged him. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for Stefan." Klaus explained with a frown. "Something is wrong with him."
"What do you mean?" Rebekah asked with a worried frown.
"He has been muttering to himself for a couple of days and sometimes he gets this blank look in his eyes, like he isn't really present." Klaus explained.
"Last I heard he was helping in the gym." Elena turned around to lead them there. "I hope he's okay."
"Play along, love?" Klaus asked as he turned to her with a little smirk playing on his face.
"Okay." Elena chuckled.
Klaus grabbed Elena's arm in a gentle grip and started to pull her along towards the gym. As he pulled her into the gym he spoke up with an American accent. "Attention, seniors. You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home."
There were groans and grumbles spread through the gym as the students started to leave. Dana, who had her foot up, and another student didn't leave, looking scared like they wanted nothing more than to leave, but couldn't.

"I remember you." Klaus looked at Dana.
"I'm sorry." Dana looked scared but her voice was calm. "Who are you?"
"Oh, don't worry, I wasn't in my right head the last time we met." Klaus told her making Elena snort.
"What?" Rebekah looked at Elena.
"Last time he met her, Nik was in Alaric's body." Elena chuckled.
"I almost didn't think you would come." Stefan walked calmly down towards them.
"Stefan?" Elena asked. "What's going on?"
"Dana, why don't you tell Elena what is going on." Stefan smirked.
"If I put my foot down Chad will beat me to death." Dana said as if she was reciting.
"Stefan, what did you do?!" Elena looked at him.
"I'm sorry, the normal Stefan can't come to the phone right now, want me to take a message?" Stefan chuckled.
"If you're not Stefan, who are you?" Rebekah demanded to know.
"I'm the darkest, deadliest, emotionless part of Stefan." Stefan hummed. "You see, when Bonnie failed to kill the hybrid the witches were pissed, so they used all the powers they had in their arsenal on the other side."
"What...?" Elena started to ask.
"No, no interruptions!" Stefan growled at her. "Where was I? Ah, yes, the witches. They decided they needed someone to kill said hybrid and who had spent almost as much time in the old witch house except Bonnie? Stefan. So, they got into his head and started to repress him to make place for me."
"But why did it take three months?" Elena asked.
"Because he was away from Mystic Falls and the witches influence." Klaus muttered as he glared at the thing in Stefan's body.
"Exactly." Stefan nodded. "And while the witches wanted me to just kill you, I feel like having some fun first."
"Fun? Fun how?" Elena looked at him.
Just then the doors to the gym opened and a man came in dragging a stumbling and bleeding Tyler with him. Stefan smiled, "Ah, just on time."
"Tyler!" Elena tried to run to him, but Stefan caught her before she could.
"Not so fast, my dear." Stefan said into her neck.
"Let me go Stefan!" Elena demanded.
"I'm not really Stefan, but you can call me...Stef, to make it easier." Stef hummed and then his arms tighten around her as he looked at Klaus and Rebekah. "Do you really think that either of you can kill me before I kill Elena?"
"What's going on?" Tyler groaned weakly as the man dropped him to the floor, a pool of blood forming on the floor quickly.
"None of your concern." Stef told him. "Rebekah, if you want Elena to survive, you'll go to her place and wait there until she gets home."
"But..." Rebeka tried to protest.
"Ah, ah, ah, no protests." Stef pulled a knife from somewhere and stabbed Elena in the thigh making her scream.
"Alpha!" Tyler called out and tried to get up to protect her, but fell back to the floor quickly.
"It's okay, Rebekah, you can go." Elena tried to smile at her through the pain.
"If you harm her one more time...." Klaus growled as Rebekah ran out of the gym.
"You'll what?" Stef mocked as he licked a strip along Elena's neck.
"Now, I'm going to find a witch and you two will stay here." Stef hummed as he nipped at Elena's neck, making her shudder in fear. "And if you try to kill me or leave this gym or even heal Elena, I'll have one of my associates kill sweet, little Jeremy."
As Stef vamp-sped out of the room, Klaus caught Elena before she fell to the floor as her legs gave out. After she had taken a couple of shuddering but calming breaths, Elena looked over at Tyler, then up at Klaus, "Can you help him? Please?"
"For you, love." Klaus murmured and bit in to his wrist and gave it to Tyler who healed after a few mouthfuls.
"Thank you." Tyler nodded at Klaus before he pulled Elena into his arms and breathed in his Alpha.
Klaus sat down beside Elena, letting her lean against him as Tyler almost crawled into her lap. It fascinated Klaus the way Tyler acted like a young pup seeking reassurance that his mother/Alpha was okay and would protect him.
"I should call Bonnie or Caroline and ask them to look for Jeremy." Elena muttered and pulled out her phone and after ten minutes of conversation and with the promise that Bonnie Caroline and Rebekah, who Bonnie had called as Elena called Caroline, would find her little brother, Elena sat back against Klaus with a sigh.
"How are we going to get Stefan back?" Tyler asked slowly.
"I'll call Bree for help as soon as we get out of here." Elena murmured as she stroked Tyler's hair.
"Who's Bree?" Klaus looked at Elena.
"She's a witch from Georgia that both me and Damon are good friends with." Elena explained.
"Good friends, huh?" Tyler laughed. "From what I've heard from Jeremy you and her tend to make out when you meet up."
"That is just tradition." Elena chuckled.
"You have a tradition of making out with a witch every time you meet her?" Klaus laughed.
"It started the first time I met her and she kissed Damon and I asked if I could have one too." Elena blushed a little.
"Well, well, seems like werewolves heal faster than I thought." Stef called out as he walked in.
"Stay away from Tyler!" Elena glared as she pulled Tyler closer to her.
"Now, see, I can't do that." Stef said with a faked sad look. "You see, some of your friends managed to screw up some of my plans so this is just business."
Before anyone of them could react, Stef had ripped Tyler form Elena's arms and snapped his neck. Stef smirked at them as Elena let out a horrified painfilled scream and vamp-sped out of there.
"Elena." Klaus said as Elena cried over Tyler's dead body. "Elena!"
"Nik." Elena looked up with tear-filled eyes.
"Remember, I gave him my blood." Klaus told her gently. "He's not dead, he's in transition."
"Oh, right." Elena sniffled and tried her best to dry her face. "We should take him to my place so he can wake up there."
"Come along, then, love." Klaus picked up Tyler's 'dead' body.
Around thirty minutes later Elena, Klaus, Rebekah, Jeremy, Caroline, Bonnie, Damon, Enzo and Mason were sitting around the Gilbert living room, waiting for Tyler to wake up.
Klaus had explained to everyone what had happened, "... and after breaking Tyler's neck he just vamp-sped out of there."
"Thank you for healing my nephew." Mason looked up gratefully at Klaus. "If you hadn't given him your blood, he would be dead right now instead of in transition."
Klaus just inclined his head at him, both of them knowing he didn't do it for Mason or even Tyler but for Elena.
Suddenly Tyler sat up with a gasp, looking around himself frantically. "What happened?"
"Tyler!" Elena hugged him. After she pulled back the rest of their pack hugged him to.
"The thing wearing Stefan's face broke your neck." Elena told Tyler softly as Jeremy cuddled closer to his boyfriend. "And thanks to Nik's blood you are now in transition, but the choice is yours if you want to finish it or not."
"So to finish it I need to drink blood?" Tyler asked.
"You have to drink Elena's blood." Klaus told him from his place by the window.
"Why wouldn't mine work?" Jeremy looked up at Klaus.
"It was a lock my mother placed on the curse that locked away my werewolf side." Klaus explained. "To release mt werewolf side I needed to kill the doppelgänger but to make hybrids I need the blood of said doppelgänger..."
"Your mother sounds like a bitch." Jeremy muttered.
"You're not wrong." Klaus chuckled.
Tyler sat quiet for a while, holding onto Jeremy's hand until he finally looked up with determination. "I want to complete the transition."
"That's great!" Elena beamed as the pack breathed out a sigh in relief.
"I only have one concern." Tyler turned to look at Klaus again. "Will Elena still be my Alpha?"
"I honestly don't know." Klaus shrugged. "Before this I had never even heard of a human Alpha before but there you go."
Elena walked into the kitchen and came back with a shot glass, then with a smirk she walked over to Damon, "Fang."
Damon laughed and brought out his fangs so Elena could cut her wrist on them to fill the shot glass.
"What?" Rebekah looked at them confused so Elena explained the whole thing with Stefan and the blood and the bourbon.
"And you just decided that Damon's fangs were better than a knife?" Enzo laughed.
"Yeah, less dishes to clean." Elena smiled brightly as she handed the blood-filled shot glass to Tyler.
He took it with a smile and drank the blood down quickly. Tyler looked up for a secund but then he fell off the couch moaning and almost howling in pain. It didn't last for more than a minute but it felt like an eternity for the ones watching.
Tyler looked up at Elena with his hybrid eyes on display. Elena squealed and tackled him in a hug, "You're a hybrid!"
"How do you feel?" Mason asked as Elena let go.
"I feel... great." Tyler smiled. "Everything is so vibrant."
"I'm happy that you choose to finish the transition." Jeremy kissed Tyler softly, not caring that he could taste the traces of his sister blood on his lips.
"I couldn't leave you." Tyler smiled at Jeremy.
"What I'm curious about is if Elena is still your Alpha or not." Damon spoke up.
Tyler looked thoughtful before he looked between Klaus and Elena. "They both are."
"Can you have two Alphas?" Caroline asked.
"Seems like it." Tyler shrugged. "Elena and Klaus are both my Alphas, but it's confusing."
"Why is it confusing?" Mason placed a hand on his nephew's shoulder.
"Because my instincts are telling me that Elena and Klaus are supposed to be mated because they are the Alpha pair." Tyler blushed and looked away. "And the confusion comes from me knowing that they are not mated."
"Fascinating." Enzo hummed.
"Good day to you too, Mr. Spock." Elena laughed, trying her best not to blush.
"Who's Mr. Spock?" Enzo looked at Damon for an explanation.
"A character in Star Trek." Damon smiled and intertwined his fingers with Enzo's. "I'll show you the movies and tv-series."
"Looks like my blood is the key to making hybrids." Elena hummed thoughtfully. "I guess we can fill two or three blood bags before you leave to make your hybrid pack."
"Aren't three blood bags a lot?" Klaus asked as he looked at Elena.
"Nah, as long as I eat and drink a lot afterwards, I should be fine." Elena reassured him.
XOXOXOX
Three days later Elena was frantically pacing in the parlor of the boarding house, she hadn't seen nor heard from her little brother in two days and she was worried. At first, she thought he had been with Tyler but when Tyler had called her and asked if Jeremy was avoiding him, she had felt a knot of worry and fear in her stomach.
"Elena we'll find him." Rebekah tried to reassure her friend. "Damon, Enzo, Nik, Tyler and Mason are out looking for him."
"I know." Elena gave a wobbly smile, then she gave a great big yawn.
"When was the last time you slept?" Rebekah asked gently.
"Two day?" Elena murmured. "I haven't been able to sleep since I found out that Jeremy was missing."
"Take a nap on the couch." Rebekah ordered gently as she led Elena over to the couch.
"But..." Elena tried to protest.
"No buts." Rebekah interrupted. "You need to sleep and I promise to be here and wake you as soon as I hear something."
"Jeremy..." Elena started again.
"Will not want you to get sick form the lack of sleep." Rebekah gently pushed her down on the couch as Elena finally gave in.
"Okay, I'll take a small nap." Elena mumbled around a yawn.
Elena quickly fell asleep and found herself in The Forest, the place she usually met Finn. She looked around to see if he was close by when she suddenly heard a joyous call of her name before strong arms wrapped around her and spun her around.
"Finn." Elena smiled as she was put back down.
"Elena, I've missed you." Finn smiled at her. "How have you been?"
"I've missed you to." Elena hummed. "Life has been hectic and my little brother is missing."
"I'm sorry, I hope you find him." Finn looked at her with a sad frown.
"Enough about the sad stuff." Elena nudged Finn's arm with her shoulder. "How have you been?"
"I have mostly been asleep." Finn shrugged. "And when I've been here, I've tried to sort out my mess of memories and feelings."
"If you want to talk about it, I'll listen." Elena offered.
A while later Elena was sitting on a big rock with Finn in front of her while she braided his hair as Finn talked about feeling like an outcast in his own family.
