    Shortly after Brooklyn had arrived at the boarding house she'd started to do anything to distract herself. She'd started to clean a little, but after one room decided on something else, and ended up in the bathtub reading a book while she soaked in the bubbles. It was relaxing to let herself be distracted by a good book and some warm water with nice smelling bubbles. Though she'd easily take just being near Kol rather than trying not to think about what he was up to with his brother. After a while, she climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around her hair before heading back into the sitting room to find Stefan and Elena sitting on the couch.

    "I see you're all cleaned up," Stefan said smiling at her as she went to sit across from them.

    "Please don't give me some talk right now about how Kol isn't right for me because he's dangerous," she said leaning back into the couch and sighing. "Because I really don't want to hear it," she added glancing over to the door when she heard the bell ring.

    "I'm not Damon, Brooklyn," Stefan said getting up from the couch to answer the door. Honestly, not that shocked when he saw Kol standing on the other side. What shocked him was though that he'd rang the bell rather than just barging in.

    Brooklyn followed him rolling her eyes. "I know you're not, but you've always agreed with him when it came to Kol. Which is annoying all things considered," She told him referring of course to the whole weird fling Stefan had had with Rebekah back in the twenties. Which she wasn't exactly sure if he remembered that or not, considering the look of confusion he sent her, but she did.

    "You can come in Kol," Brooklyn said smiling and stretching out her hand for him.
    Damon had been so lost in his own little world that he hadn't noticed the vampire he'd been playing pool with turn around, at least not until she was stopped next to him talking. That'd been enough to pull him back into the world.

    "It's okay," Damon told her a little happier that she was apologizing, maybe. Really he'd only been playing pool to distract himself from other things. And if anything he kind of felt there should be someone apologizing to her, but he also knew that wasn't likely. "I imagine it might've also had to do with the douchebags making the awful comments and I don't really think I can blame you," he told her pretty sure if she were a human he would be ripping into her neck right now to take his mind off things. Because that's what he did, when he was emotional or confused he fed on the first person he saw. She wasn't though. "I could always go and feed on them if you'd like. I mean I haven't really fed in a while because I'm trying to be better. For my siblings," he said not sure if he should really be telling her anything, but too late now.

    Damon couldn't help but let out a laugh at her last comment. "You have no idea," he said wishing he didn't have so much on his mind. Hell he even wished that he could get some of it off his mind, but the only way that would happen was if he turned on his emotions. And emotionless Damon would make worse choices than he already did, plus he knew that it would only take care of the issue for a while, not forever.

    Kol could hear what he thought what Stefan and Brooklyn, for sure, talking just beyond the door before it opened. He was only slightly surprised when it was Stefan that had answered the door instead of Damon or Brooklyn. He shot Stefan a cheeky little grin as Brooklyn invited him instead. He stepped past Stefan, keeping his eyes on the younger Salvatore brother as he took Brooklyn’s hand and stopped just beside her.

    “I know you don’t necessarily agree with us, Stefan,” he finally said, an impish gleam in his eyes, “but it could always be worse.” He shrugged his shoulders as he began to lead Brooklyn away from Stefan and the front door of the house. “At least your sister is not seeing Klaus.” He gave Stefan one last look, grinning even wider before turning to Brooklyn. The mischievous grin that he wore gave way to a genuine smile as his gaze fell on hers and he leaned forward, pressing his lips to her forehead. He pulled away and drew in a deep breath of air.

    “You’re going to have to remind me which one of these rooms are yours,” he told her quietly, though he was sure that Stefan would hear what he said. He gave her a slightly crooked grin as he lead her up the stairs, eyes slipping over her slowly. “Where’s your other brother?” He asked, brows lifted slightly as he watched where he was going to a moment before turning his gaze back to Brooklyn. “I only ask because I don't want him barging in at any moment to give the two of us a lecture. I’ve gotten enough of those from Klaus and, now that she’s back, my mother has been giving me them more often lately.”
    Alysse tilted her head to the side slightly slightly as she watched the dark-haired vampire closely. She lifted a brow as he told her it was okay. It really wasn’t. He hadn’t necessarily done anything to merit her acting uppity around him. Now that she could see just how troubled he was about something, she felt a bit guilty that she may have only added to that. A heavy sigh left her as she shook her head. “It’s not okay, but alright,” she murmured, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth.

    “Yeah?” She questioned him, eyes narrowing slightly as she studied him. “I would suppose women are a bit more…subtle when they see someone they find attractive. Otherwise, I’d imagine you’d have the same problem.” She crossed her arms over her chest, eyes slipping over his features. When he mentioned feeding on the guys, her brows raised dramatically before her features fell into neutrality once more. She cut the engine on her bike and rolled it forward a bit so it was properly parallel parked. So, he was a vampire and he knew she was if he was talking so openly about it.

    “Is that not what we do? Why would not feeding on someone who deserved be okay?” She questioned, only slightly confused at why his siblings would want him to stop feeding. “It’s not like we have to kill them if we feed from them…though honestly, I doubt anyone cares enough for those two assholes if they were to go missing.” She stepped off of her bike and stood beside the gentleman; her bright, cutting eyes locked on his. “Why don’t we both feed from them and make ourselves feel a whole lot better?” She questioned, lips pulling up slightly at one corner at the thought.

    Brooklyn smiled towards her brother as she led Kol away from the front door. The one good thing about Stefan was that he wasn't likely to fight with her, and especially not when there was company around which right now was not only Kol but Elena as well. So even though it was possible that he could end up talking to Elena in hopes of coming up with some plan to break her and Kol up she wasn't worried. Partly because she knew her brother well enough to know how he planned things and when he liked to strike against people, but also partly because if there was one of her brothers she could eventually convince to be on her side and let her and Kol be because he made it happy with was Stefan. And if Stefan was on her side it'd be a lot easier to get Damon to come around as well.

    "I'll show you which one's mine," She told him before giving Kol a quick peck on the lips. "I'm really happy you're here," she added glad that he'd been able to get away from Klaus without any issues it seemed. Maybe this would mean that things might actually go well from here and there wouldn't be drama with Klaus, Damon, or Kol's mother. Though Brooklyn didn't exactly know his mother she still hoped that her being back wasn't going to cause trouble.

    Brooklyn shrugged her shoulders at the mention of Damon. "I'm not sure really. He wasn't here when I got here and Stefan hasn't seen him since he left the grill so who knows. He's probably out in the world finding something to do that will likely get himself into some kind of trouble," she told him knowing Damon hadn't always been the person he was now. He used to be a lot different, someone she looked up to and someone she'd run to when she was scared or needed protection, but it hadn't been like that between them in a long time. "I'm sure we won't have to worry about him for awhile. Plus it's not likely that he'll just barge into my room so we should be good to do whatever we want," Brooklyn said tossing her hair over her shoulder before opening the door to her room and leading Kol inside.
    "I do have to admit that women are much more subtle about finding me attractive than those men were with you. Men like that of course are pigs however and don't really have manners," Damon told her though he knew that not all women were subtle about finding him attractive, but usually they were. He also knew that he didn't always have the best manners himself, but well at least he didn't act like a total pig out in public. And if by chance he did decided to hit on someone while he was out at a bar or anything he was much more quiet about it. Usually though that was because he planned on feeing on them and the last thing he really wanted was for everyone to know what was going on.

    Damon sighed, "it is what we do because we're vampires. And vampires are natrually a predatory specics. However my siblings, who surpringly enough both mean a whole hell of a lot of me, tend to have bad sideaffects when it comes to drinking human blood. One of them has absloutly no control and ends up over consuming and can't exactly stop himself and can easily turn full ripper in no time which is never good to deal with. And the other one well she can't exactly handle her blood very well either. She does fine with blood bags but the second she feeds on someone alive she tends to kill them even if she doesn't meant to." He told her even if she didn't really care, Brooklyn and Stefan were his brother and sister, they meant a lot of him, and sometimes he just couldn't help but talk about things that he just needed someone else to hear.

    "I don't see why we couldn't both go and feed on them though," he finally said running his hand through his hair. "And if we do 'accidently' kill them you're right. It's not likely that anyone in this town is going to mind. They're asses. And it might just make me feel better," he said nodding his head. Who cared if Brooklyn and Stefan were weird disfunctional vampires, he wasn't one so if he wanted to feed then he would. Plus it wasn't like they really even had to know what he did.

    Kol knew that Brooklyn liked picking on her siblings about as much as he did. Must have been a younger sibling thing. He was glad that Stefan didn’t try to follow them or fight the fact that his sister was dragging an original vampire to her room. He shot a glance behind him, as if he were just making sure before turning to face Brooklyn once more. His eyes slipped over her slowly, taking in her freshly-bathed appearance and smelling the scent of her body wash or bubble bath still clinging to her skin. He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, humming softly to himself as he brought his gaze back to the house around them as they walked through it.

    “I see you’ve let Stefan do all the decorating again,” he commented smartly as they passed by a rather plain painting of a landscape. “Is he always so dull or is it only when he’s refusing to drink from humans?” He murmured to himself, rolling his eyes a bit.

    He grinned to himself as she kissed his lips quickly, finding that it was far too quick of a kiss for his liking and knew it’d only be a matter of seconds until they were finally alone behind a closed door. Hopefully no one would try to bother them or interrupt them there. “I’m glad I could get away from Klaus and manage to get past one of your brothers without a scuffle,” he told her with a proud grin. “I feel like I deserve an award or something,” he added with a soft laugh.

    As she spoke of the eldest Salvatore male, he was glad to hear that he at least wouldn’t have to worry about him for a while. If he was up to his own trouble, it meant that Kol would have to be concerned with fending off him, his bitchy comments, and his clear disdain for Kol’s affections for his sister. Once she lead him inside her room, he closed the door behind the two of them and immediately strode over to her. He smoothed his hands over her waist, eyes locked on hers as he used his grip on her waist to slowly pull her toward him. “I was sure when I woke up, you’d be stolen away from me,” he said softly, hands finding the small of her back as he pressed her body flush against his. “I thought I’d never get another moment like this with you,” he added, all jest gone from his tone as his dark eyes flickered between both of hers.
    Alysse pulled her long hair over one shoulder before crossing her arms over her chest, staring up at the male vampire. “I don’t know exactly how old you are, but I would assume there was a point in time when most men only spoke that poorly about women behind their back,” she said sharply, still a bit bristled by the comments that had been made about her. The men were lucky she hadn’t snapped their necks in the middle of the restaurant or lured them outside to meet their ends. She was better than that though and more in control of her anger than to lose it that quickly.

    The blonde tilted her head to the side as the other vampire started to speak. She got the feeling he didn’t have many people to genuinely pour himself out to and what little heart she felt she had left went out to him. Maybe they had more in common than she’d originally thought. She didn’t want to be a vampire, but she at least accepted what she was to survive. “But your brother and sister aren’t you,” she told him, giving him a poignant look. “I see no reason for you to not do what we’re meant to if you can handle it.” She drew in a deep breath thinking in through for a moment. “I don’t mean to try and make reason of what you’re going through or your relationship with your brother and sister, but I’d say if they had issue with you feeding freely from humans, they’re probably just a bit envious.” She shrugged her shoulders, eyes slipping between his. “They can’t control themselves like I get the feeling you can.”

    She twisted her lips to the side, keeping herself from delving in too deep and saying something that may set him off. “Sorry. I was going to school for psychology when…”Her voice trailed off and she motioned where fangs would be if she felt so inclined to let them show. “I like to try and figure people and things out.” She shook her head a bit, shoving her hands into her jean pocket and nodding her head toward the Mystic Grill. “Why don’t we have some fun then?” She questioned, her smirk coming back as she slowly began to walk toward the front door.

    Brooklyn laughed softly at the comment about Stefan's decorating, and the fact that he had indeed always been that dull. Out of her brothers, Damon had always been the more fun one and Stefan had always been dull one. Once they were turned however things had changed. Damon became overprotective and could be harsh at times, and Stefan was dull until he decided to feed on humans but when he did feed on them he also always lost control and could be so insensitive about things that it was hard to be around him for too long.

    "Well what would you like your reward to be?" Brooklyn asked softly as she wrapped her arms around Kol's neck and smiled up at him. She enjoy being so close to him again, so much so that she didn't really ever want to let him out of her sight. Of course she knew that was insane and if anything he should be more worried about her given she could die a whole hell of a lot easier than he could, but still he had been taken from her once before and she just didn't want it to happen again.

    Brooklyn knew how hard it had been to live the last eighty years of her life without Kol in it. She totally understood the feeling of thinking you'd never get to see the person you love ever again. She had spent so much her of her time not sure if Klaus would ever remove Kol's dagger that she didn't know if or when she'd see him alive again. Honestly, when she'd found out that the original family was in Mystic Falls a part of her hadn't even wanted to return just because she knew how Klaus could be. She of course had returned, and couldn't be happier that she had let hope win. But she knew the feeling of losing it as well. "I understand that completly. So I say that we don't waste any of our time together," she told him softly glad they had found one another again.
    "From what I've seen there have always been men who speak poorly of women in public, however it hasn't always been as accepting. Because had those men who spoke the way they did about you done it back before I was a vampire they wouldn't have like the consequences," Damon told her knowing that men used to get beaten for speaking the way they did. But times have changed and men are allowed to pretty much do as they please anymore, and if someone happens to complain about it they most likely just get a slap on the wrist. Damon wasn't going to lie and say that he'd never said or done anything wrong because he had, but he also saw and knew there was something wrong with the way the world was running nowadays. He didn't really do much with the justice system however because it'd be different in another 100 years or so anyways so he just tried his best to stay under the radar.

    Damon smiled her way as he listened to her kind of make total sense to him. Maybe Stefan and Brooklyn were enveious because while they couldn't exactly handle human blood either from the vein or bloodbags he could. And he didn't know why he was always being punished by then for the fact that he could, unless it's because they were jealous. "I think you may be right," he told her. He also knew that wasn't the whole story, Brooklyn was still upset with him because Damon had kind of killed a boy she liked which put them both on edge around one another. And it was probably what drove her to the original family in the first place. But Damon could at least stick with Stefan just being jealous that he couldn't feed from humans without losing it.

    Damon made a hand motion, "after you," he told her figuring he might as well have a little fun while he could. Honestly, the guys in the grill were awful and Damon was still kind of in a mood. So he might as well have some fun, teach someone a lesson, and enjoy the company of another vampire while he could.
