growing pains

RIVER sat in the office chair, boredly watching as Rebekah flicked through Klaus' drawings. She picked one up, beginning to tear up, throwing from the table in a fit of rage. River rolled his eyes as Damon moved into the room.

"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady" Rebekah stated.

"Good advice" Damon spoke "Have you seen one?"

Rebekah turned, glancing at Damon.

"Tragic about Elena" River stood with a grin "Not to make a grey cloud greyer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"

Damon rushed towards him, the white oak stake in hand, River grinning wildly, doing nothing to fight Damon, Rebekah instead holding the vampire's wrist back. Rebekah forced Damon against the dresser, the vampire dropping the stake. Both Rebekah and River became immobilised as wooden bullets began flying through the window, Damon speeding away. Rebekah turned, receiving an arrow to the heart, River receiving the same, the pair of them dying, temporarily.

River sat in the back of the van, doped up on vervain, his hands tied with vervain ropes, his body weak as he sat beside Rebekah, Caroline beside the blonde.

"Vervain ropes" Caroline stated "Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council"

"The Council?" Rebekah questioned "What exactly do they think they can do to us?"

Rebekah's words were cut off by the wheels screeching, the van flipping, sending glass flying. The van landed on its side, its vampire inhabitants all groaning.

"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.

River laughed weakly from his seat.

The back door of the van suddenly opened, breaking off to reveal Tyler.

"Tyler?" Caroline questioned, shock in her voice.

"I'm harder to kill than you think" Tyler stated.

" You're alive?" Caroline cried as he ripped the ropes from her "How are you alive?"

"No time" He argued "Come on, we've got to go

"Wait, what about me and River?" Rebekah questioned.

Tyler looked down at her, sending her a small smirk.

"Keep 'em busy, little sister!"

Tyler exited the van, Rebekah filling with shock, angry at her brother.

"Of course" Rebekah scoffed, River's head still ringing, hearing nothing of the conversation.

Rebekah began struggling to no avail

River coughed weakly as the vervain-tainted air circulated through the barn and the cells they were trapped in. He looked up, seeing Elena in the cage opposite him, rolling his eyes as she began to sit up, holding her head.

"I thought I killed you" River spoke.

"Where am I?" Elena wondered.
