"I'm late this is such a crazy day" Andie said going downstairs with Damon.

"Hi Andie, hi Damon" Harlow said eating chocolate while reading New Moon from the twilight saga. "Harlow how long you been here" Damon asked.

"You don't want people barging in love then maybe you should lock your door or have your house signed over to a human just a thought" Harlow said.

"Preferably not your blood bag I would say no offense darling but take offense" Harlow said to Andie.

"I'm uh covering the historical society's high tea" Andie said ignoring Harlow.

"Ooh thrilling" Damon said. "Yeah, it's for some visiting writer he's writing a book on small town Virginia it's a big snooze" Andie said. "Writer what's his name" Damon asked.

"Uh Elijah Smith" Andie said, and Harlow finally looked at Andie putting her book away.

"Smith he's using Smith okay you have your story straight in your mind right" Damon asked Andie putting a scarf around her neck.

"Yeah, cause a scarf never draws suspicion right love" Harlow said sarcastically.

"I can't say that you bit me or drank my blood just that we hit it off and I really like you, you are terrific though you're sweet, funny" Andie said.

"And you're falling hard" Damon compelled her. "You might be the one" Andie said. "Perfect" Damon said and opened the door. "Have a great day honey" Damon said and kissed Andie.

"Oh, hey Alaric later" Andie said before leaving. "My new girlfriend Andie Star action news" Damon said.

"Or more like your human blood bag" Harlow said. "It's not called Action news" Alaric said.

"I know I just like saying it" Damon said. "Well, I'd love to stay darlings, but I have business to tend to so good luck with whatever this is" Harlow said after checking the time and left.

"Have you spent much time in Richmond for your book there's such a wealth of history there" Carol said to Elijah.

"No, I'm focusing mostly on uh smaller regions of Virginia lots of research strictly academic" Elijah said.

"Thats fascinating" Carol said. "And Harlow remind me how you and Elijah know each other" Carol said to Harlow. "He's my brother-in-law" Harlow said.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were married" Carol said. "I haven't worn my wedding ring in what feels like centuries it's a long story" Harlow said, and Carol nodded.

"Damon" Carol said once she saw Damon came over. "Carol" Damon said.

"What a surprise" Carol said to him. "Hi" Damon said to her giving her a kiss on the cheek in a friendly way.

"Hi, Elijah, I want you to meet Damon Salvatore his family is one of Mystic Falls founding families" Carol said. "Mmhmm such a pleasure to meet you" Damon said to Elijah.

"No pleasure's mine" Elijah said, and they shook hands. "And Damon this is" Carol said about to introduce Harlow but Damon interrupted her.

"Harlow" Damon said confusing Carol. "We're old friends" Harlow explained. "Oh" Carol said.

"What can I do for you Damon" Elijah asked him. "I was hoping we could have a word" Damon said. "Where's Elena" Elijah asked.

"Safe with Stefan they're laying low you know bit of a werewolf problem" Damon said. "Oh yeah I heard about that" Elijah said. "I'm sure you did since it was your witch that saved the day" Damon said. "You are welcome" Elijah said.

"Which adds to my confusion on exactly why you're here also why is my oldest friend with you at this event" Damon said.

"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me and Harlow" Elijah said. "You and Harlow" Damon questioned.

"My turn" Harlow asked Elijah and he nodded. "Elijah's my brother-in-law" Harlow told Damon surprising him.

"Surprise" Harlow said doing a hand gesture. "I would've told you sooner love but well I have my reasons why I didn't love plus who doesn't love a good old surprise" Harlow said.

"Well, I'm assuming that is all Elijah" Harlow said and went to leave with Elijah, but Damon sped in front of them.

"Not good enough" Damon said and Harlow facepalmed knowing how Elijah is. Elijah choked Damon speeding him to a wall pining him.

Damon choked Elijah only Elijah wasn't affected as he took Damon's hand off him.

"You young vampires so arrogant" Elijah said. "And clearly have no brain cells but please don't kill him he's still my friend even if he's dumb" Harlow said.

"How dare you come in here and challenge me" Elijah said. "You can't kill me man it's not part of the deal" Damon said.

"Silence" Elijah said as he picked up a pencil and stabbed Damon with it while Harlow just watched amused before speeding to Elijah pulling Damon away from him.

Damon pulled the pencil out and held his neck. "I'm an original show a little respect" Elijah said and gave Damon a hanker chief.

Handkerchief. Damon took it putting it on the spot Elijah stabbed him.

"The moment you cease of use to me you're dead so you should do what I say" Elijah said and saw the look Harlow was giving him.

"But considering you're Harlow's friend be lucky she is family as long as she is alive, I won't kill you keep Elena safe " Elijah said and left.

"Look Damon you may be my friend but I'm gonna give you a warning love go after my brother-in-law again and I'll kill you without blinking oh and I'm also an original, so I'd watch it" Harlow said and left.

"Well, that was one way of introducing myself as your sister-in-law" Harlow said. "Yeah well at least it's out now no more hiding who you are A Mikaelson" Elijah said.

"Even if Klaus and I are separated" Harlow said. "Even if look what my brother did was wrong yes, but you are still a Mikaelson even if you leave my brother and I stand by that" Elijah said.

"Thanks Elijah" Harlow said smiling and hugged him. "You always did look after me along with Kol" Harlow said.

"I'd like to think Kol did the most" Elijah said as Harlow smiled

"You know the great thing about Buckshot is" Jules asked. "It scatters through the body maximum damage" Jules said and pointed a gun at Damon. "Where's the moonstone" Jules asked.

"Get over it honey you're never gonna get it" Damon said. "Looking for this" Elijah asked making his presence known causing Jules to look at him.

"Aw seems like someone's had a bad day sorry we're late love" Harlow said to Damon.

Elijah went closer and put the moonstone down. "Go ahead take it" Elijah said.

A werewolf attempted to take it when Elijah sped to him ripping his heart out. Two more werewolves attempted to when Harlow sped to them and killed them both.

Jules ran off and Elijah went to the werewolf beside Damon.

"What about you sweetheart huh" Elijah asked. "You want to take a shot" Elijah asked once the werewolf was stood up. "No, yes, no" Elijah said.

"Where's the girl" Elijah asked. "I don't know" Damon said.

"It doesn't really matter" Elijah said and knocked the werewolf out.

Harlow went to Damon and ripped the chains off of him. "You realize this is the third time I've saved your life now" Elijah said to Damon and grabbed the moonstone and left. 

"So like you to make enemies with the werewolves" Harlow said before following Elijah.

Harlow arrived at her place that night closing the door behind her.

She grabbed a blood bag from the fridge before noticing the note on the kitchen table along with a necklace.

Curious on what it said she went to it picking it up along with the necklace reading the note

"See you soon my love - Klaus" the note said causing Harlow to look around before looking back at the note and quickly putting it and the necklace down.

Harlow realized it was only a matter of time now before Klaus came.
