   She could feel the wall behind her vibrating as she opened her eyes. With a groan, Audrey looked around to see she was in the back of a van, Rebekah unconscious in front of her. Her eyes then clocked the other blonde sat beside her, and Caroline let out a sigh of relief when their eyes met, shifting uncomfortably where she sat. Feeling something tight around her wrists, she looked down to her lap, to see her wrists were tightly bound together with rope. 

   Her brow furrowed in confusion, the dampness of the rope rubbing and irritating her skin. "What is--"

   "Vervain ropes." Caroline answered knowing, as Rebekah woke up beside her. "Looks like Alaric outed us all to the council." She glanced at Audrey. "They must have thought you were a vampire and stuck you here with us."

   "The council?" Rebekah repeated in disbelief. "What exactly do they think they can do to me?"

   Suddenly, screeching of wheels fills their ears, and the girls scream as the van began to flip. Audrey groans when it finally halts, her body hanging forward as it lands flat on the side Rebekah and Caroline were tied to, leaving her dangling by her vervain ropes. 

   "What the hell happened?" Rebekah let out in shock.

   Before they could say anything, the doors are ripped off the back of the van, revealing the face of Tyler Lockwood to them all. "Tyler?" Caroline asked, her eyes wide in disbelief.

   "I'm harder to kill than you think." Tyler said, before starting to rip off the restraints on her.

   The Forbes girl began to cry. "You're alive? How are you alive?"

   "No time." Tyler shook his head, lifting her up once the ropes were broken. "Come on, we've got to go." He placed her on her feet, and without arguement, the Forbes girl sped away. 

   "Wait, what about us?!" Rebekah shouted as he turned to leave.

   "Tyler!" Audrey shouted in disbelief.

   Pausing, he turns and looks back at the two girls, a small smirk twitching onto his lips. "Keep 'em busy, little sister. Keep Audrey safe." He warned before looking to Audrey. "You'll be fine, love. I know how capable you are." And with those words lingering in the air, the hybrid disappeared from sight. 

   "No." Rebekah let out, shaking her head in denial. "That's not possible!"

   "He...he's alive." Audrey breathed out, as Rebekah struggled against her restraints. The blonde eventually gave up, letting out a groan. "Klaus is alive." Her mind flickered back to the sbefore the sacrifice, and how he took over Alaric's body, and suddenly it all made sense in her head. "He...that asshole!"

   Audrey had been to Young Farm a few times over the years. When they were old to start babysitting, Pastor Young trusted Elena and Audrey to looked after his daughter, April. The sisters would take it in turns, and April grew to love both of them, and babysitting became a job both the Gilbert girls enjoyed doing. Never once had Audrey suspected Pastor Young was apart of the founders council, but in all honesty, she never thought her parents were until the truth came out about them. Like the Rebekah, Audrey was taken and placed in a cell in the barn, Stefan soon joining and placed in one himself. Elena followed shortly after, unconscious and pale, placed in a pen next door to Stefan's. Each pen was secure with metal bars, hay scattered on the wooden floor, and a wooden wall blocking any view into the next door pen.
