I solemnly swear that I am up to no good -The Maraudersx

Lyra was cleaning up some stuff while Dorian sat on the floor, they hadn't expected it to take this long for Elijah to wake up. They have been waiting there for almost 3 hours now, bored out of their minds.

To pass by some time, they have been planning some more, but that only does so much.

Lyra asked out of the blue once "Do you want to become a vampire?"

Dorian looked at her estranged, where did this question come from and why ask it now? He answered with a shrug "I don't know, maybe?"

Lyra looked at him with a 'bitch really?' look and warned "Dorian..."

"Okay" he groaned. Dorian put his hands on his face and mumbled "Yes I do."

Lyra laughed and sat next to him while nudging him "Why do you act ashamed? If you want to be one then you can."

"Because it's a bad thing! I want to die, again!" He confessed and then realised as he groaned once again "Oh my god, we died!"

Lyra just laughed "Finally, took us long enough" He gave her a pointed look in response "What? It's not a bad thing that you want to become one, as long as you don't become a veggie one like Edward 2.0."

"Hey!" he hit her on the arm "Don't insult Stefan!"

"Oohhh" She sang and kept nudging him "Someone has a crush on a certain broody Salvatore."

He laughed and nudged her back "Shut up!"

They laughed and kept teasing each other, until a groan snapped them out of their fun.

Lyra snapped her head over to Elijah while standing up as colour returned to his skin, she walked to the wall and leaned on it as she observed Elijah and grabbed a blood bag.

His groaned as he raised his head and examined the room. He looked to Dorian with confusion, but his face brightened up as he noticed Lyra.

She gave him a smirk and tossed the blood bag "Rise and shine, Handsome."

He gave her a beautiful smile and took the bag as he immediately started to drink, she felt herself get a bit breathless as a bit of blood was on the side of his mouth. Lyra thought blood on people was very attractive, did that make her a maniac? Maybe.

He stared at her as he tried to asses any injuries, he heard her scream before he was killed and was concerned that she was hurt. When he found none, he stood up while dusting himself off and stopping as he noticed something missing from his pocket.

The sound of keys dangling was heard and he snapped his head towards the sound, only to see a grinning Dorian.

Dorian shrugged as he looked at the keys "Couldn't have you leaving so quickly without hearing us out."

Lyra rolled her eyes and walked towards Dorian as she slapped his head and reminded "He's a vampire, he can just speed out of here."

Dorian pouted as he rubbed his head and whined "You could have just told me and not hit my head."

"Well that wouldn't be that effective now, would it?" She retorted while giving him a taunting smile.

"So I have to hit you every time I have to remind you of some-" Dorian was cut off as Elijah cleared his throat and raised an eyebrow. Dorian pursed his lips and confessed "I forgot you were there for a second."

Elijah narrowed his eyes at him and noted "I wouldn't want to intrude in your conversation, but I would like to know why-" he waved his hand around "-You went through all this trouble to get to talk to me."

Lyra grabbed the keys off of Dorian and approached Elijah while listing "We have questions, answers and most importantly, favours."

Elijah reached forward, making sure to keep eye contact with her, and grabbed his keys as he told them "Sorry to inform you, but I don't really give out favours."

Lyra smiled "That's where the answers come in, we can answer almost any question you have and in return you can do some stuff for us."

"What answers do you have that you could possible give me Elskan?" Elijah replied with a smile as he stepped closer, noting the way her breath slightly hitched at his close proximity.

Lyra opened her mouth to answers, but the words couldn't form as she got lost in his eyes. She could feel his breath on her face as his dark brown eyes burned into hers, she felt her stomach do flips as his eyes glanced to her lips, her own doing the same.

Dorian almost rolled his eyes at the obvious sexual tension as he chimed in "Sorry to interrupt this hot moment, but the answers we can give you is the real location of your siblings."

That made Elijah snap out of his stare and snap his head to Dorian as he almost growled "What did you say?"

Lyra looked to the ground as she stepped back, what the hell was that? She gathered herself and answered Elijah "Not here, there could be other ears" He looked to her and narrowed his eyes, but she ignored it as she walked towards the door "Let's talk in the car."

Elijah turned his gaze towards Dorian with a hard look in his eyes, but Dorian just smiled at him and followed Lyra.

The car was parked somewhere as Elijah looked to the duo, Dorian sat in the backseat while Lyra sat in the passengers seat.

She had called shotgun and ran towards it, making Dorian huff and throw his hands in the air while Elijah watched them in amusement.

Elijah demanded "Speak."

Lyra tutted and held out her finger "It doesn't work that way. We give you information, you give us favours or answers."

"Such as?" he pushed. Dorian sat back as he felt left out, something was going on between the two and he had an inkling it was similar to him and Stefan.

She hummed and answered "You're help in freeing a certain vampire, who is captured by a organisation that plans to make all vampires rippers that feed on vamp blood, in return we give you information about the location of your siblings."

Elijah pursed and thought about it, what information does his love have that he doesn't know already? He agreed "Done, now tell me."

She smiled in satisfaction as she revealed "We both know your younger brother acts out blindly in his anger, when he told you that you're siblings were buried at sea. He was lying."

"How would you know?" He challenged as he raised an eyebrow.

"Simple knowledge" She shrugged "Tell me, has your younger brother every endangered those coffins in the past millennia or so? Do you really think he would do that to your siblings, especially his little sister?"

He looked out of the window in shame, could Niklaus do that? How did she know so much about his family? "You're telling me this on a guess?"

She just gave a him a look as she corrected "I am stating facts, Elijah."

Her saying his name made his throat dry as he licked his lips, Lyra's eyes glancing at the action.

Elijah questioned them further "Where are they? My siblings."

Dorian leaned forward and piped in "That was not the deal, we said we would give you information, not the location."

Frustrated, Elijah rolled his eyes and opened his mouth. Only for Lyra to cut him off while pointing her finger "And before you ask, we cannot tell you. We have to wait until your dear younger brother comes to town for the dishwasher doppelgänger."

Elijah grumbled in response "Do you have any other information for me then Elskan?"

Again with that nickname, Lyra thought as her face flushed. She shook her head "Nothing that we can reveal now, maybe later."

Elijah sighed as he started the car back up and started to drive.

Dorian frowned as he asked "Wait, where are we going?"

"Considering you have no way on going home, you will come with me to deal with some affairs and after that I shall drive you both home safely" Elijah elaborated as he kept his eyes on the road, but kept his hand dangerously close to Lyra's.

Dorian looked to Lyra with a bewildered look, only to receive a smile and shrug in response.

Lyra and Dorian followed Elijah as he walked towards a street musical and left some bills of money in his case while grabbing loose change.

Dorian raised and eyebrow, understanding what scene is about to happen, and asked "Is all of this really necessary?"

Elijah stood up and started to toy with the coins hand to hand, very much aware of Lyra's burning stare. He told them "There's one good thing my younger brother once taught me, taunting someone while remaining unknown, is one of the best tortures and paybacks."

Dorian pointed out "What about Rose? You just gave her her freedom and now ur going to take her life?"

"Don't worry, the eldest Salvatore will never let that happen" he stated as he continued to observe the unknowing trio.

Lyra finally broke out of her stare as she frowned and asked "How did you know that he was a Salvatore?"

Elijah looked at her with a handsome grin "I have people everywhere Elskan, a simple text and the answers just appears for me."

Lyra huffed a laugh as he turned back to the window and listened to the conversation. Lyra turned to Dorian and went to his side as they watched Elijah throw the coins towards the glass and it shattered without a problem.

Before they knew it, Elijah had grabbed a hold of their arms and sped them away.

They both stumbled as they skid to a stop and laughed a little. Elijah looked to them with a raised eyebrow as they continued to laugh like maniacs.

In a way, Dorian reminded him a bit of a mix in-between Niklaus and Kol. Dorian clearly meant something to Lyra and Elijah would have to be friends with him somehow if he wanted to get close to her.

He interrupted their laughter as he said "Come on, we have one more place to visit and then I'll bring you home."

He walked away as the laughing duo stumbled after him.

"-You need a witch. Get the moonstone, a witch should be able to figure out the rest. Good luck, Rose" Slater told Rose, before hanging up as he lowered the phone.

Lyra and Dorian watched as they stood side by side. A light caught Dorian's eyes and he looked towards it, it was Slater's computer.

Elijah complimented from behind Slater "Very nicely done."

"Thanks, I have a degree in theatre" Slater thanked as he shakily turned to Elijah "How can you compel me? A vampire can't compel another vampire."

Dorian nudged Lyra and nodded towards the computer, they both shared knowing looks as they walked towards it.

Elijah only glanced at them when he shrugged and replied "I'm a special vampire."

Dorian clicked on the computer and it showed that you had to fill in a password, he looked to Lyra helplessly. She rolled her eyes and shoved him aside as she filled in 'Kristen Stewart.'

"What, because you're an Original?" Slater said and everyone in the room could sense a bit of jealousy, but also curiosity in his tone.

As the computer opened up and showed lots of files, two files stood out the most. The ones with the names, Silas and The Parker family. Lyra hit Dorian and the shoulder and whispered "Write the dresses and shit."

Dorian grabbed a paper and began to write things down at a fast pace.

Elijah looked down as he let out a grunt/hum and held out a stake. He looked into Slater's eyes as he commanded "Now I want you take this and drive it through your heart.

Slater took it, but fearfully said "But that would kill me forever."

Dorian wrote down the address of the Parker family home and the dress of Josette Laughlin, before looking at Lyra and quietly asking "What do you want me to write down about Silas?"

She looked at him bluntly and harshly whispered "Everything we don't know maybe?!"

"I know" Elijah compelled "But it's necessary."

Slater aimed the stake as fear filled his eyes and drove it through his own heart, making him groan and drop down dead on the floor.

Jonas walked forward and asked "Was it really?"

After Dorian was done writing, Lyra clicked the file away as one more caught her eye. It had the name Soulmates and she shared looks with Dorian as she clicked on it.

Elijah turned to Jonas as he explained "It had to be done. He delivered his message. Won't be long now."

As the duo read through the file, both their mouths dropped open in shock and Lyra stormed over towards Elijah in fury.

Hearing the angry footsteps, Elijah turned to Lyra only for his head to snap to the side as a hand collided with his face.

He looked at her in shock as the side of his face burned by the impact. Lyra glared up at him in fury as she yelled out "WE'RE SOULMATES?!"

Elijah's mouth slowly fell open. He had already assumed her lack of information about Soulmates as she hadn't reacted to him in any kind of way that soulmates normally do. He thought that he would tell her as soon as they were alone and could have a proper conversation.

He started to try and form words "Uh- Yes. I wanted to tell you, but when we were alone and we could have a good conversation."

She just huffed "I can't even stay mad at you, stupid nobility" He let out a breath of relief, but she still pointed out "We will talk more about this!"

He nodded, until a thud and another yell interrupted their conversation "KATHERINE AND STEFAN ARE MY SOULMATES?!?"

Dorian had dropped to his knees as he stared at the ground wide eyed.

Lyra gave one last glance to Elijah, before rushing towards Dorian and comforting him, trying to make him calm down and take a deep breath.

This was going to complicate things for them. On the file it had said "With a female on the lower back, every star is a mark for one soulmate, with a male it's the exact same only on the shoulder."

They both had 4 stars, 4 soulmates and they didn't have a clue who the others were.
