I sit on the couch, admiring the ring on my finger, Tyler sits next to me totally oblivious of it as he stares at his phone. The main door opens, revealing my Mum and two men that I have never seen before.

"Who the hell are you two?" Tyler says, voicing my thoughts.

"Tyler, it's okay. They're here for your protection, Evie's too, I heard about your drowning scenario" she frowns at me as I glare at the men with distaste.

"Mum, if we needed a guard dog, we'd go hire a Salvatore." Tyler nods his head in agreement.

"More deputies?" Ty asks, staring at the two men.

"Not exactly." Klaus says, making an appearance with a hybrid following behind him.

"Should have known this was your idea." I shake my head, sighing.

"They're hybrids" Tyler points out.

"I should have killed you for the little stunt you and your friends pulled. Stopping my heart, leaving me in a coffin to rot." Klaus says, glaring at my twin. Brother-in-law goals.

" Yeah, well you used my body as an escape hatch, then kissed my sister. So, maybe we're even." I huff, of course I'm dragged into this...

" Not even close. But, you hybrids are a dying breed. I can't make more of you, and I won't have anyone taking liberties with the ones I have left." Klaus says, smiling at me before glaring at Tyler again. I glare at the two men who stand uncomfortably under my gaze.

"Consider them your new bodyguards." He says,about to leave the room. "Yes, Evie, that goes for you too." I glare at his retreating figure.

I sit, leaning into Tyler as he throws a football up in the air, both of us bored out of our minds.

"So, this is where you've been hiding, huh?" A familiar voice says to us, closing the door behind herself.

"Hayley?!" Tyler asks, excited as he rushes over to her, she winks at me.

" Hey, Lockwolfs!" She says as I scoff.

"Hayley, your puns are worse than Kol's... Just don't" I say, she starts to laugh

" Ass! I thought Klaus killed you." Hayley says to him, giving me a look as her eyes zone in on the ring on my finger, she gives me a look.

"I should have called" He says, apologetically. I snicker, watching him go red in the cheeks.

"From your trailer park in Florida? You liar!" She says, sounding more playful than accusatory.

"I'm taking this as my cue to leave." I say, standing up as two hybrids follow me out, I groan in annoyance.

"Hope you plan on cleaning this up." Damon says as I walk up the stairs of the boarding house.

"I need bourbon to get through Rebekah's party. Yours is better than Stefan's." Elena says as I open Damon's bedroom door, smirking.

"Top drawer in the dresser." He replies as I walk casually into his room, seating myself on his bed, he rolls his eyes at me.

"You keep alcohol in your underwear drawer?" She asks him, incredulously. I smirk, knowing that Damon has ulterior motives.

She pulls out a pair of briefs and holds them up. "No." Damon says easily as Elena puts the briefs back into the drawer.

" But, you weren't looking for alcohol, were you?"Elena looks at him guiltily, turning her gaze to the floor" Do you think I'd actually leave the last remaining white oak stake where any vampire could just walk in and take it? "

"Well." I begin, "You did pretend that the moonstone was a bar of soap, maybe this time the stake has been shaped into a photo frame." He scowls at the mention of one of his previous failures.

"What happened to you?" Elena says, smelling blood on his shoulder.

"Hunter mishap" He shrugs.

"I'm finding that stake." Elena says, determination taking over her body."

I walk into Rebekah's house, of course, it is another party that Elena has forced me to go to.

I smile, walking up to Rebekah. "Someone knows how to throw a good party." I say to her, watching her features brighten, she pulls me into a hug.

"It was you that moved my body onto the couch,wasn't it?" She smiles even wider at me as I nod. Her eyes then travel down to my hand where the golden ring sits, her eyes widen upon noticing it.

"He doesn't waste any time, does he?" She asks, I grin at her as she takes my hand, pulling me with her towards April and Elena.

"Like something wicked this way comes? I know, right? It's like this town's cursed or something." Rebekah says, finishing April's sentence. Elena stares down at our joined hands in disapproval, not noticing my ring.

"Hey, April, why don't you go look around the house, and I'll find you in a little bit?" Elena says to her uncomfortably.

"OK?" She asks, confusion lacing her tone.

" Did I forget to uninvite you?"Rebekah asks. Now that she isn't being bitchy towards me, it's quite funny to watch her do it to other people.

"Did you blow up her dad's house to get revenge on the Council?"Elena accuses as I notice two hybrids watching me from the side of the room.

"I don't give a damn about some dodgy, middle-aged Council. You come into my house, throw around false accusations and then you have the nerve to drink my beer?" Rebekah scoffs as I glare at the two hybrids.

Rebekah takes the cup from Elena's hand and smirks as she takes a sip of the beer, Elena hears a sizzling noise and looks down at her hand to see that the sun is burning her. She then notices that her ring is missing,

"My ring!" Sh exclaims, "Give it back!" She snaps as Rebekah drops it down the sink.

"Get it yourself."She says, dragging me off with her.

Rebekah drags me outside, holding my hand up and showing me my ring.

"Details." She says, sounding impatient. I smile.

"Well- he asked me to marry him and I said yes."I shrug as if it were no big deal.

She raises her eyebrows, silently pressing for further details. I smile,remembering his face as we said our vows.

"He cried."I say, struggling to hide my smile as Bekah starts fan-girling.

"Sister-in-law." She says, pulling me into a hug.

"Leaving so soon?" She fake pouts as Elena steps outside.

"No. Not just yet. I never got a drink." she replies.

She looks at Rebekah, smirking, and walks over to the keg with a slight bounce to her step. She places her hands on the sides of the keg and does a handstand. Someone sticks the beer hose in her mouth and she starts to drink as everyone around her starts shouting,

"Chug! Chug! Chug!"

After a few moments, Elena eventually comes back to the ground and wipes beer from her mouth.

"Lena-" I whine, "You know I'm a germaphobe, now I can't any." I stamp my foot as Rebekah glares at her.

"Now I'm ready to go" She smirks, taking Stefan's hand and saunters off.

"What the hell?" Rebekah asks, disgusted.
