[1] Consequences ⚜ The Vampire Diaries ✓

xlii.

Matthias' outfit is above!

• • •

note: I skipped The Ties that Bind which is where Klaus orginally gets his coffins back. Instead, Stefan told Matthias where they were due to the compulsion and so they got them back early.

everything that happened with Abby and Bonnie happened, because Klaus wanted the last coffin still and Matthias decided to let Klaus do it his way this time. Stefan found out that Elena and Damon kissed but Matthias, still doesn't know but he will this chapter!

Stefan isn't bitten anymore, Klaus healed him sadly but Matthias knew that he would cave since a part of Klaus still hopes that Stefan will go back to how he was with him. Damon did undagger Elijah, cause Stefan texted Damon about Matthias knowing after he left with Elena.

and that's all you need to know since I skipped an episode!

so enjoy this chapter!
even though i despise how i have to make several chapters based on the dinner party smh.

chapter forty-two.

"Hello, love." Matthias greeted as he answered the phone.

Elena felt her heart swoon as she wasn't going to get used to Matthias' accent anytime soon. "Hi, are you busy?"

Matthias chuckled, "Aside from dealing with an undaggered Elijah, for you, never."

Elena felt her cheeks heat up at the revelation and bit her lip to contain her smile, but it failed. "Stop doing that." She laughed softly.

"Doing what?" Matthias asked her.

"Trying to woo me when you already have me." She told him softly.

Matthias shook his head, "I will never not try to woo you Elena."

Elena rolled her eyes with a smile, "I have to go and speak to Stefan before meeting up with Caroline, do you want to come along?"

Matthias looked at his watch and shrugged, "Sure, I'm not doing anything."

"Great!" Elena replied before clearing her throat after realizing how excited she sounded. "I mean, I'll see you soon."

Matthias chuckled as he hung up the phone and didn't bother telling Klaus anything as he grabbed his jacket and left the house. Matthias arrived at Elena's in less than 20 minutes and Elena was already on the porch waiting for him.

"Hi." She greeted as she climbed into his car and gave him as kiss before buckling in.

"Hi." He smiled at her. "So, where to?"

Elena told him where to go and then started explaining to Matthias about how someone was killed, and they used her family's weapons to kill him. Matthias listened to her explain about how they don't know who it could be and how Damon thinks it might be the woman that Alaric met last night at the fund raiser.

"So, it's possibly her?" Matthias asked her.

Elena sighed and shook her head. "I don't know which is why I need to ask Stefan if it was him because I don't know what he's willing to do anymore."

Matthias nodded and parked the car, he let Elena go on her own as the girl wanted to go alone. That didn't stop Matthias from listening in though.

"What are you doing here?" He heard Stefan ask her.

"Bonnie told me that you guys would be here." She explained to him. "I need to talk to you."

"Well, there's nothing to talk about." He dismissed her, "I'm just focused on getting this coffin open."

Matthias' interest was piqued at that, so the coffin was underground. He made a mental note to mention it to Klaus later, since he didn't believe that they would open it.

"Did you kill the medical examiner?" Elena suddenly asked.

Stefan stopped and turned around to face her again, a scoff leaving his lips. "Why would you think I did that?"

Elena shrugged at him, "Maybe because I don't know what you're capable of anymore."

"Well, believe what you want, Elena." He told her before walking away again.

"I don't want to believe any of it, Stefan." She told him.

"But you had to ask me anyway." He shot back at her while looking at her again.

"Stefan..." Elena trailed off.

"Did you ask Damon... if he killed anybody lately?" Elena remained silent at the question and Stefan almost wanted to laugh. "Or did you even ask Matthias? Or do you just not ask the guys that you've kissed?"

Matthias stopped listening in when he heard Stefan walk away from Elena. His heart twisted painfully at what he had just heard. Getting out of his car, he left the keys in the ignition before disappearing from the car. When Elena exited the cellar and frowned when she saw that Matthias was gone, suddenly she realized that Matthias heard Stefan.

She pulled out her phone to call him, only to see that Matthias texted her already telling her that maybe they should take a break and she felt her heart sink.

God, she fucked up again.

Matthias was on his fifth glass of blood, making Elijah and Klaus share a worried look as there was a knock on the door. Matthias' jaw clenched as he could smell that it was Damon and Stefan, the last two people that he wanted to see but Elijah was making them all talk to strike a deal.

"Niklaus, Matthias, our guests have arrived." Elijah announced as the two brothers walked inside.

"Damon. Stefan. Elijah tells me, you seek an audience. Very bold." Klaus told them. "Especially since you've both pissed off my brother tremendously." Both Stefan and Damon flinched under Matthias' glare, they didn't miss how his eyes flashed gold just indicating how pissed he was. "But let's discuss the terms of our agreement like civilized men, shall we?" He motioned towards the table that was set up.

"It's better to indulge him." Elijah told them as he passed by them to sit beside Matthias.

"I didn't come here to eat, Klaus. Fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told-" Stefan started but was cut off by Matthias.

"Sit down and shut up." He demanded and Stefan found that he couldn't not listen to Matthias. Stefan sat down and glared at Matthias. "Keep glaring, I'd love to give you another werewolf bite." Matthias snapped at him.

"Matthias." Elijah scolded but Matthias only continued to glare at the Salvatore.

Damon awkwardly sat down beside Stefan and once everyone was seated, the compelled help started to serve dinner. Matthias didn't want to make small talk, in fact, he wanted to kill the two men in front of him, but he knew that Elena cared for them, so he wouldn't.

That didn't mean that he wasn't going to have fun messing with them.
