I do not own TVD, although I wish I did. Oh the things I would change about it~

But uh, just a little background: This is after Jenna's death. I'd say, end of season 2/beginning of 3. Elena broke it off with Stefan right after the sacrifice. Oh and Elena has already met the Originals, including Kol/Bekah/Finn.

I don't hate Stefan or Damon or any of the characters, really! This is just… my take of things I guess. Please, R&R. Massively appreciated!

Chapter 1:

"Oh Elena," Damon whispered in her ear, "You look absolutely beautiful."

"Shut up, Damon," Elena giggled as she pulled at his hair.

He grabbed her and flipped her over, resulting in her sitting on top of him, "Baby, you know you are. Man, how did I end up with someone like you?"

"You little kiss up," she placed a peck on his cheek, "What-" kiss "-did-" kiss "-I-" kiss "-do-" kiss "-to-" kiss "-deserve-" kiss "-you?"

"Oh will the two of you cut it out?" Stefan Salvatore stood by the door as he watched his brother and ex-girlfriend act all lovey-dovey in bed, "We have Originals to kill and with you two like that in bed all day, we're getting absolutely nowhere."

"Stop being such a douche, bro," Damon said as he set Elena aside and got up to dress.

Elena laughed, "Stefan, calm down. What's so important about killing these 'Originals' anyways?"

"What's important about it?" Stefan raised his voice, "Elena, did you seriously just ask me that? Are you playing stupid or-?"

Damon cut him off, "Not cool, bro. Don't go there."

"Whatever, man," Stefan shrugged, "Elena, we have to kill them. We have to kill them before they kill us, Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Ric, and every single person you've ever cared about."

"Stefan, they haven't tried anything since… since Klaus became a hybrid," Elena argued, thinking back to a few months ago, when Klaus had killed Aunt Jenna.

"ELENA," Stefan raged, "Do you not remember that he killed Jenna?! Your aunt! A couple months ago, you were broken down about it, and now what? All of a sudden you're just fine with it?"

Damon stepped between them as things heated up, "Stefan, cool it-"

"No, no. He's right, Damon," Elena sighed and turned to look Stefan in the eye, "Stefan. How could I forget? But if the Originals haven't tried anything and we go ahead and try to harm them, what if that's what triggers them into killing the people around us? I can't take that risk, even if it is my only chance at revenge. I'm not sacrificing people I love for that."

Stefan shook his head, "Elena, protect yourself for once." And with that, he walked out leaving Damon and Elena standing in the middle of Damon's room.

Damon grabbed Elena by the shoulder and pulled her in, "Baby, I'm sorry about him. He's just… He's just being Stefan."

"I know, I know," Elena hugged him back, "I just need space and I know he's trying to protect me, but still."

Damon squeezed her tightly, "Elena, he needs time, too. The break up was all very sudden to him and these past few months have not been easy for any of us."

"I know," Elena nuzzled against his chest, "I love you, Damon."

"I love you too, Elena," Damon breathed into her hair.

"Elena!" Caroline yelled from across the hall, "Get your butt over here. Now!"

Elena turned to see her best friend motioning for her to go over to her.

"Hey Care!" Elena hugged her friend.

"Elena! Do you know how late you are? You signed up for this, so be on time!" Caroline rambled on, "I know you and Damon are spending all this time together, but can you not? All chirpy and what not, ugh! Elena! Keep your focus on this! PROM! Less than 2 weeks away!"

"Care, calm down! I'll be sure to have my part covered. Just breathe," Elena laughed.

"Oh, so now you think this is funny!" Caroline growled, walking away, "Ugh, Elena! You're frustrating me!"

Tyler, Caroline's boyfriend, ran after her, "Hey Elena! It's great to see you. Sorry about that, you know how Care is, she's just a wreck."

"I HEARD THAT TYLER."

"Well, I should go help her out," Tyler laughed nervously, "Just go over to the table and look for Veronica, she'll be able to help you out."

"Alright, bye Tyler!" Elena giggled, "Good luck with Care."

Elena walked toward the tables, "Excuse me, are you Veronica?"

A tall brunette turned around, "Hi! Yes, you must be Elena Gilbert!"

"Yeah, hi! Tyler said to come here and you'd tell me what to do?"

Veronica grabbed her clipboard, "Oh yes! Um… Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert! Alright! You're on the decorating committee. Right over there near the stage! There should be three others helping you out! Oh and take these two bins over there."

"Mhm, thanks a bunch Veronica!" Elena grabbed two bins and walked toward the stage.

"Well hello, love."

Elena jumped and turned to see the last person she had wanted to see ever again, "Klaus."

"Oh goodie, you remember my name!" Klaus smirked.

"How could I not," Elena replied sarcastically.

"Well, it seems as if your little friend has placed us in the same committee," he smiled his million-dollar smile at her.

"Oh yay. What a joy," she rolled her eyes at him.

"Now, that's the spirit, darling!" Klaus walked toward the bins, "Oh and you'll be even more excited when you find out who else is on the committee." He winked and bobbed his head toward the gymnasium doors.

In came perhaps two of the five most beautiful creatures ever, Elijah and Kol Mikaelson.

"Klaus, are you kidding me right now?" Elena's hands immediately covered her face, "I'm stuck with the three of you?"

"Oh darling," Kol put his arm around her, "You make it sound utterly unbearable."

"Hello again, Elena," Elijah took her hand and kissed it, "Pleasure to be acquainted once again."

Elena groaned, "I cannot believe that this is happening right now. I. Can't. Freaking. Believe. It. No, no, no, no. This is not real." She shut her eyes tight, hoping that once she opened them, they would no longer be there. She opened her left eye and then her right.

"Still here darling," Kol winked and his brothers laughed along with him.

"Ugh! Who assigned these groups anyways?" Elena tried getting away from Kol.

Klaus then grabbed her arm, pulling her closer, "Not so fast, love. We're a team now, we'll have to work together and spend massive amounts of time together."

"Boys, leave Elena alone now," Elijah tried hiding his smile.

"Oh big brother, always the one to save poor Elena," Klaus' eyes twinkled jokingly.

"You guys are so annoying," Elena got out of his grasp and grabbed some of the decorations, "Let's just… work on the decorations and keep the talking to a minimum."

"Whatever floats your boat, dear," Kol's eyes twinkled like his brother's.

*Author's Note:
