    ‘’Wow seems like you kept busy. Thats good.im glad you were able to help Ty out. Thats really cool of you’’ Emily said and stefan nodded‘’Im glad youre doing okay at the very least. It sounds like some time e away is what you needed’’ stefan siad gently with a genuinely happy smile on his face ‘’you should tell them what youve been doing’’ stefan said and smirked at Emily ‘’okay you know what S, youre an ass’’ Emily said ‘’ no mroe than you E’’ stefan replied cheekily,  he dropped the glass as Emily made it hot to touch ‘’damn! Why!?’’ He asked and laughed and Emily rolled her eyes ‘’Anyways… ive gotten better at my magic,Bonnie figured out that silent magic is where I strongest so we’ve been working on that aspect,but so far im pretty strong now and we figured out that i have the grand ability to predict the future, both just a few seconds ahead to days or weeks ahead. ‘’ Emily siad and chuckled ‘’like how I predicted stefan here would somehow get his arm stuck in a pipe trying to get care’s necklace out just seconds befor eit hapepned. That was funny’’ Emily laughed out ‘’for you maybe.. not for me..or my arm’’ stefan siad ‘’I on the other hand have been keeping busy, renovated my bedroom at the boarding house.. been busy with the group,me and dmaon have patched thign sup for now. We’ll se show long that lasts. Still doing school,  but i dont mind.this one teases all the time about not doing high school anymore’’ stefan siad and saw the. Confused looks Tyler and Erika gave them ‘’i graduated early. My grades have been crazy goood lately since there snod Rama going on, and i got enough to graduate early, so right now im working a couple jobs round town, and im applying to colleges everywhere!’’ She siad na dhcuckled ‘’sooo whats going on wth these wolves? You did find them right? Are they okay? Oh! You should totally bring them to the BBQ tomorrow! They can be introduced to everyone! ‘’ Emily asked Tyler before stefan took her wineglass. ‘’I’m cutting you off. You’re way to exciuted’’’stefan said and Emily. Whined ‘’you suck…’’ she said but paused and laughed ‘’okay bad choice of words’’ she siad na dhcuckled befor etyelr spoke.

    Erika looked from Emily to Stefan and smiled "It took some time, but I realized after all the chaos, my place was with my family. My REAL family" she said softly, looking more at Stefan than the others. "Well like you said you've never had a place that felt like home before" Tyler pointed out. Erika nodded "that is true, until now at least" she admitted. Tyler sat up more when it was Emily's turn to say what she'd been up to in his absence and he smiled at her. "Thats good to hear Em, I knew Bonnie would be a good teacher for you" he told her. The friendliness between Emily and Stefan seemed a little...excessive to both of them but Tyler and Erika kept their mouths shut. "Actually they are here. I knew Klaus couldn't get into town, and most of them he turned into hybrids after he became one. We actually found a way to break the sire bond too so they came here until that's done. One at a time...could take a while" Tyler said. "Where are they staying?" Erika asked. "My guest house out back, since mom and dad are gone the house is mine so they can stay there and be safe" Tyler answered. "Thanks for the reminder Ty" Erika commented and he rose a brow. "I lived out of a hotel before remember? Then my family left so now I need to find somewhere to stay, hell I didn't even take much of my stuff either" she remarked. Tyler chuckled "a heretic living like a gypsy" he joked making Erika roll her eyes "Oh ha ha Lockwood laugh it up" she said sarcastically.

    ‘’you stay. At my place’’ Emily offered ‘’og yeha you have room now that elena isnt there’’ stefan said ‘’yes sir. Elena moved in with this goof and damon, shes also a vampire now, long story… so it’s just me and Jer at the Gilbert house right now. We have two spare rooms, one that use to be elena;s and one that use to jers, Jer moved into my old room since it was bigger, and i moved into the master, my parents old room. So we have space if you wnat it’’ Emily siad before her phone buzzed and she answered ‘’hello… hey Matty…yeah hes back. Yes that’s why there people there… yea sure that’d be great. Thanks matty. Okay see ya later.’’ She said ebfore hanging up ‘’ sorry Matt’s been checking in on your palce every so often since youve been gone, he called all1 infused about the wolves ther enow.  So all good. Oh by the way.

    Erika rose a brow when Emily immediately offered to let her stay at the Gilbert house. "Are...you sure? I mean, after everything that happened before I left..." she wondered and glanced down at her hands. Tyler chuckled when Emily told him Matt had been checking on his house lately. "Hey if you had told me the hundred times I called you when I was gone I would have told him" Tyler teased. When the two mentioned food, Tyler looked at the time and stood up. "Which reminds me, i have a huge order to pick up from the grill for the pack" he told them. "How many came with you?" Erika asked. "Thirteen, and theyre all hungry, figures" he answered with a chuckle. Tyler turned to Emily and leaned over, kissing her forehead "Call or come over after you're video interview okay? You still remember where I live, I hope" he said/teased before he left. When Stefan asked if Erika would join him for dinner, she rose a brow. "Well I don't want to intrude...." she said as they stood and saw the looks on Emily and Stefan's faces. Erika blinked "look, I'm glad to be back, i am, I really missed you both. But I saw how happy you are. I don't want to ruin that, for either of you. If you don't want me here, I'll go. The last thing you two need is more drama and thats all my family seems to bring" she admitted.

    Stefan and Emily both looked at each toher before raising abrow at Erika,’’did we miss something?’’ Emily asked and stefan rolled his eyes ‘’do you think something is going on between us?’’ Stefan asked and Emily watched Erika shrug a but and avoid eye contact,thats when Emily couldnt hold bakc the laughter. ‘’Hahahahha oh god! Ew no!’’ She laughed out and smiled ‘’god no. This guys my brother. And one day brother-in-law if elena and damon are serious about being togetehr for life. Long story I’ll fill you in later.. look Erika. Yeah me and Stefan are close again,a yeah it took abit to get over what hapepned, but i forgave you and your family,even. Niklaus dfor everything.. im in a way better place now. And me and stefan patched things up. We have zero feelings for eahc other beyond a sister/brother relationship. We do weekly Best Friend picnics like this because we both enjoy it. It’s somethign thats just for us outside of hanging with the gang. Trust me.. Stefan here was all mopey for like three weeks straight when you were gone. You have nothing to worry about. Hell your family is even welcomed back here whenever… you can relax Erika… its all good. No one wnats. You to go or leave or hide. You’re. Good’’ Emily siad and smiled at te girl ‘’she’s right… i was all gloomy. I missed having you around.. seeing you… but i knew you needed time away to figure stuff out. So i channeled those sad feeling intot he good that was still aorund. Me and Em are just friends, siblings really at this point. But i promise you,  you are not intruding on anything.. youre not a bother.. theres no drama… its all good. It may seem kinda weird,specially after all thats hapepned, but everyone here is all on good terms now. We’ve accepted wht hapepned happned and we’ve moved on form it. We’re. Both glad youre back. And like Emily said, if your fmaily ever wnats to visit, by all means they can. ‘’ stefan said gently before Emily grabbed her stuff ‘’ahhh I gotta go. I gotta get everything ready. Look. Erika,if your fmaily ever need a palce. To stay come by the house. Im more than happy to. Elt you live with me and Jerfor as long as you want.’’ She siad ‘’mind packing up?’’ She asked stefan ‘’not at all. See ya later‘’Stefan siad ‘’thanks Stef! See ya later Erika.  Glad. To have you back’’ she siad before heading off.

    Erika felt a little stupid after her insinuation and she listened to what Emily said. "Thats just it, even as friends you two have this happiness i don't remember ever seeing in either of you, everyone has patched things up and become friends again, what if me coming back ruins that?" She asked. Though she did feel a bit relieved that there was nothing between the two, she had learned over the short time of knowing Emily and Stefan before he departure how to tell when they were lying, plus there was a trick she had learned being a heretic too. Erika breathed out in visible relief at Emily's confirmation. "Thanks Em. I'm pretty sure it'll be a loooong time before they ever come back up here, but thank you" she said before the other hybrid left. Erika stood there for a moment "You know i tried to find a way around my grandmother's magic, to make Emily human again" she said softly then looked at Stefan. "Unfortunately I haven't found much, but maybe I just haven't looked in the right spot yet" she added. "I am sorry I left you Stefan, I was torn between staying here and my family. But I realized I had left them before and I just needed to clear my head after all that happened. This is where I'm supposed to be" she assured him as she gently took his hand in hers.

    Stefan l;loked. At Erika. As she talked ‘’Emily doesnt want to be human. Shes made peace with hwat happened and how she was made into being a heratic. Shes still iffy about being a vampire,mainly because of what happened with her emotions being off. But shes okay now. So dont waste your magic on that okay?’’ Stefan siad and smiled at her ‘’you dont have anything to be sorry about. I get why you need to go. Im. Just glad you found your way back’’ he siad gently before he cleaned up and walked away with Erika ‘’lets. Go tot he boarding house, ill drop this off and then we can go to the grill, and get something to eat, chat,  hangout’’ he said and ca bit as they walked off.  ‘’You know… im really  glad youre back. Its been… quiet.. since yu left.. .mayube now it wont be’’ he siad gently as they walked off;liked to the grill together ‘’and hopefully we can actually be a real life couple now that theres no drama’’  he siad na dchuckled 

     

    Emily got home and sighed a bit as she set ehr s stuff ont he couch ‘’hey,  how was your picnic thing with Stefan’’ Jere asked as he sat in the kitchen ‘’good until it got interupted’’ she said ‘’Oh? By who damona nd elena again?’’ He asked and chuckled ‘’god i wish.. no Erika and Tyler are back’’. She siad her happy expression fading ‘’uh oh…’’ Jer eased ‘’shut up. I love Tyler. You know that. But i wish he had told me he was coming back with a whole damn pack of wolfie hybrids! And Erika showing p too,  specially after how stefan was heartbroken after her leaving.. ugh I hated putting on that fake smile’’ she said ‘’i know..but at least theyre back’’ jeremy stated ‘’yeah i guess..I gonna have to warn dmaon about the wolves… and I’ll have to ask bon to start stock piling vervain and wolfsbane too… who knows what these hybrids want really’’ she said and sighed . ‘’Hey relax. It’ll be fine. You got that interview tonight. Right? So focus on that!’’ Jeremy siad and Emily smiled ‘’true. I do.. alright i gotta go get my room cleaned up. Ill see you in a bit’’s he siad and left t go upstairs.

    Erika forced a small smile and nodded at what Stefan said about Emily making peace with what she was. "Well like Elijah said it is rare that it happens at random, now that it has, she'll have to actually turn them off for them to be off" she explained as she helped Stefan clean up him and Emily's little picnic. As they began walking to the boarding house and Stefan mentioned them being a real couple, Erika looked at him a little bit surprised "You...you still want that?" She hesitantly asked as they walked down the sidewalk together.

     

    Tyler had gotten several bags of pre ordered food picked up and taken it back to the Lockwood mansion where the pack was currently. "Hey Ty, thanks for the heads up" Matt joked as he helped Tyler bring stuff in. "Sorry man, had no idea that you were in and out of here" he said. "So what all are these people doing here?" Matt asked. "Most of them are hybrids Klaus made. Hayley and I brought them here because of Erika's protection spell against her uncle, its only temporary until they all break the sire bond" Tyler explained. "Sire bond?" Matt asked. "Like that need to be loyal, like how I was when I bit Caroline, it was because Klaus told me to and I had no choice even though I didn't want to. Hayley figured out how to break the bond so we brought the last few of the pack here to help them, then they'll go home" Tyler said with a shrug as the pack filed in and started grabbing their food.

    Jeremy had slipped out of the Gilbert house and went over to Tylers place.  ‘’Hey man glad to see youre back’’ jeremy said as he c ame over ‘’hey Jer. What’s up’’. Matt said as they ‘hugged’ ‘’hey. Not much.Em mentioned you got a wolf pack here? She’s talking to damon about not pissing them off..’’ Jeremy said ‘’oh whos the cutie?’’ Hayley asked. Asked as she came over and looked at jeremy.  ‘’This is jeremy. Emily’s lil brother’’ matt said as he introduced them ‘’Emily?… the.. other hybrid right? Thew witch vampire one Kluasgoes on about?’’ Hayley asked ‘’yyuuppp same one. Through she. Says shes ‘found peace’ within herself about everything he put her through’’ jeremy ‘’oh right.. I keep. Forgetting shes on this whole.. ‘inner peace and self help. And love’ kick.. weirdest thign ever’’ matt said and both saw the confused looks on Tyler’s face ‘’she didn’t mention hat?’’ Jere asked and watched as Tyler shook his head. ‘’Yeha both her and stefan found this online self. Help group, its made form a bunch of other vampires from around the world. Its wierd. But they seem to be happier than ever’’ Jer said ans hrugged. 

     

    Stefan smiled and chuckled ‘’of course I do. Why wouldnt i?’’ He asked and they stopped outside of the Grill  ‘’you mean everything to me.. you remind me what peace and happiness are like.. so why wouldnt i want to be with you? Reconnect… share my love and peace with you.? ‘’ he asked before they went inside. ‘’Besides… who else. Would i want to be with?’’ He asked and chuck;ed. They sat down and he took the menus formt he waitress’s. ‘’So, the bbq tomorrow,you’ll come right? It’ll be at the boarding house, bigger back yard. I know as vampres.. we dont need the human food.. but its ncie to just.. do something.. mundane.. and human… something.. peaceful. Plus now that you ad Tyler are back, the others are gonna wanna catch uptoo‘’Stefan said as they sat and looked over the menu.

    Tyler was making sure the wolves had the right orders as he'd written everything down and by name too. He was nearly done handing out the bags when Jeremy showed up. "Hey Gilbert" he greeted and hugged the younger kid. Tyler looked at them as if they'd both grown extra heads until they explained. "Well that explains alot" he muttered a bit as he passed Hayley her bag of food. "Explains what?" Matt asked. "Erika and I saw them at the park. I almost didn't want to break it up they looked so happy" he answered. "Probably that whole inner peace thing" Jeremy joked. "Yeah I'm pretty sure thats just another fancy way of saying self denial Jer" Tyler added.

     

    Erika stood with Stefan outside the grill and looked at her. "You just...you seem so much happier before you saw me, lighter, like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders. Knowing things have been better since I left for everyone, makes a part of me just want to leave it that way you know?" She told him before they went inside and sat down. Erika sighed softly when Stefan asked about the BBQ and nodded. "If you're absolutely sure you want me there" she said with a soft smile. Though she saw the questioning look on his face. "Look, I know Emily seemed all happy and welcoming earlier, but I guarantee you it was a show for you. She hates that I left and came back" Erika explained. Though she noticed the confusion on Stefan's face. "You know that vampire trick to get inside someone's head? Well...as a heretic i learned how to do it better. Without the other person knowing and rather than implanting visions and messing with someone's head I can see their true thoughts. Emily practically hates me, she only said what she did for your sake" Erika assured him.
