Don't Wake Me

[newmommy1993]

Andie rolled her eyes. "Be nice!" She called after her sister. When they had the living room finished for the most part, she looked around it. "It'll do for now." She told them. "I've got to get to work, I'll see you guys later!" Jeremy said before running out. Andie turned back to Elena. "I would love to, but I have so much to do right now, but I'm sure Eris is available. Then again, she is pretty interested in this Alaric guy.." Andie said as her voice trailed off. At least her sister was happy with him. Elena nodded. "Totally understandable, I already asked her, she's cool with it. Try to make be so uptight though! Get out and hang some." Andie laughed and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind." She said. She looked through some more boxes, pushing all their living room decorations and stuff apart from everything else.

Alaric smiled when he heard Eris' voice. "You know I would love to." He said, already getting up. "I'll be there very soon." He then hung up. After putting the stack of graded test papers away, he left the school, locking his room up before he did. Not to long after, he was pulling into their driveway, parking his car. He knocked on the door and Andie opened it, welcoming him in. She directed him to where Eris was and he wrapped his arms around her waist, greeting her. "What do you need me to do?" He asked softly.

Eris smiled up at Alaric when he arrived and she sighed. "I have to play nice, so I figured you could just help me unpack our small library. Andie.got most of the painting done, and it's dry in here, so I need to put away our books."she informed him before she looked to the shelf built into the wall in what would be the study. "Thanks for coming out. I hope I wasn't interupting you. I'll repay you later. Like after Elena and I go shopping for decorations. Supposed to be meeting her friends too."She told him before she began putting some books away.

"So how do I repay you for the help, Mr. Saltzman?"she laughed at how she addressed him.

Klaus was glad that Eris was told to play nice. Wonderful. He walked over to Andie witb what would be a considerably heavy box to a human. "Where does this one go? It was a stray box."he asked her before looking her over. "And is there anyway I can make my apology come off as more sincere. I am sorry that things started.off the way they did. I don't mean harm. I just want to be able to co-exist peacefully."He inquired.

Alaric laughed and nodded. "Well, playing nice usually has it's benefits in the end." He told her with a smirk. He nodded, beginning to open a box full of old and different boxes. He started on a new shelf, stashing away different spell books. In one box it was marked GRIMORIES. Alaric shook his head. "Oh, no you wasn't. I was just finishing up grading some papers for Monday." He said with a sigh. He nodded. "Elena is good people, and her friends are too. They're not bad at all." He said, finishing one box of books. "I'll let you handle those." He said, pointing his thumb at the box with their Grimories in it. "I've always been testy about those things." He said, faking a shiver running through his body.

He laughed when she referred to him as Mr. Saltzman. He turned towards her, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. "Well. The festival is next Saturday, I have a booth I am running, but it seems my assistant can't make it. I'm in dire need of one." He said with a grin. "That's next weekend, though. Tonight, I would love to cook you dinner at my place." He said, keeping his gaze on her.

Andie looked up at the box. "Just put it in the kitchen, its only pans and pots and stuff." She said, pointing back at the kitchen. She was finishing the last box for the living room before looking up at Klaus. Sighing, Andie crossed her arms. "You just don't give up, do you?" She asked him, pressing her lips together. "Well, I am hungry. I guess Eris is going out with Alaric, so you can buy me dinner. Then we'll be halfway there." She said, kicking the empty brown box aside. She rolled her eyes. "I actually can't believe that. No one ever wants to exist peacefully. People have a thrill and urge for danger." She said. "It's a fact in my book." She added on.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Eris lookes over to Alaric, and fixated him with a gentle stare. "Well, how about I cook, and we'll call it even."she told him before she began unpacking the Grimoires by whose they were and how old. She then cast him a look. "So what exactly does you r assistant do? I am not into having sharp objects pointed at me."she curled her.lips in.

When she got to tje top shelf, she attemlted to reach and pouted. "Want to lend a short person a hand?"she asked. "I need to put these two almanacs up there, but I can't reach."she gave a small pout. She then bit her lip a little and tried one more time before sighing. "Yeah, no, definitely too short."

-

Klaus smirked at her. "Alright then."he told her, and he placed the box in the kitchen with ease and went back to moving some furniture around and aoon someone came to the door. "I'll get that." Klaus walked over and answered the door.

"Is there an Eris or Andie Clarke here? I need a signature before I can turn on their power."the man said.

Klaus nodded. "Andie! Power.compnay is here!"he calles to her before going back to moving boxes arouns.

Alaric nodded, agreeing. "That sounds good. Your not going to try to poison me or anything now, are you?" He asked with a smirk. He watched as she put the Grimories away. "They mainly sit there and look pretty. Don't worry, sharp objects aren't involved." He said with a laugh. "I just have a history booth. Papers and things on the history of Mystic Falls. You just hand them out, while do the explaining. Easy enough." He stated. he watched in amusement as she attempted to put some away on the top shelf. He then nodded. "Sure." He took the almanacs and easily put them up. "Don't worry, short is fun-size, as they say." He smiled at her. "Well, since we're done in here, I'll break the boxes down and I guess Elena is about ready to leave." He told her. At that time, Elena walked in, asking if they were ready. Alaric looked towards Eris. "I am if she is." He said, giving her a small smile.

Andie watched as he went to answer the door. She started putting some pictures up on the shelves and decorating a little with what they had before Klaus called her. She made her way over to the door and greeted the electrician. He was a short and stout man, but most of those guys were. His hair was a sandy blonde and he had a Italian mustache above his lip. "Hello." She greeted with a smile, taking the black ink pen. She scribbled her name in neat cursive. "I'll get to working on it, ma'am. I should be done in about fifteen minutes, maybe less." He told her. "Okay, thank you." She said and watched as he got to work. She left the door open, but the screen door closed. Elena went to get Alaric and Eris, Stefan waited outside, so that left Andie in the room alone with Klaus. "I guess when they leave and I make sure the power is working right, we'll go. I'm starved." She mumbled.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Eris looked to Alaric. "I don't know. Looking pretty sounds hard, can't I just be pretty."she said, teasingly. When Elena came in and asked if they were ready, she looked to Alaric. "Just a minute. I have to go say bye to my sister and see if the water has been turned on yet. They said it should be on by now."she told them before walking over to Andie and hugging her. "I'll head put soon, just got to check the water and if it's not on I'll have to call again."

She walked over the sink and turned it on. After it sputtering, water came out and she smiles. "Alright, water is on. We'll be back in a bit with some decorations, and I'll see about some dark brown paint, maybe a light green for trim for the outside of the house."she told Andie and kissed her cheek. "Just have fun, and be careful."

She walked over to Elena and Alaric. "Let's go."

-

Klaus watched the interaction between Andie and the electrician and then with her sister. It wasn't odd to see them being protective of each other, at least not in his mind. He just didn't understand how they were immediately so mistrusting of him and not Alaric. He was a alcoholic vampire hunter. He guessed being the original hybrid trumped that though. When Andie spoke, he nodded and soon the others were gone. "They shouldn't take too long."he informed.her. "I know they didn't when I got my power turned on."

Then again, he also compelled them to work quickly, but he figured that wasn't going to be an option with trying to find a way into this witch's mind. He had to know why they were there.

[newmommy1993]

Alaric smiled as he followed them out, shooting Klaus a warning glare. "Well, being pretty is a big bonus." He added. He could tell how close the sisters were, and it looked like a unbroken bond. That was good, with the events in Mystic Falls lately, they needed each other. They all piled in the car and drove to town. When they got there, they got out and walked out, window shopping at first. Alaric turned to face Eris. "Didn't you have to get some paint for the outside?" He asked, looking towards the hardware store. "Their paint is pretty good." He said, leading her inside. Elena and Stefan went to look for small kitchen utensils, since most of their's was old and ruined basically.

---

Andie nodded. "Well, they usually don't. Turning on power isn't exactly a difficult job." She said. After they were done and informed her, Andie went to change into dark blue skinny jeans and a light color halter before going back downstairs, her hair falling loose around her. "Alright, let's go. Remember, no funny business. I will drop you without any effort." She threatened. She could usually keep her anger in check, but for some people, it just wasn't that easy.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Eris nodded to Alaric's question. "Yes. We decided on dark brown and light green for a trim."she told him. She took hold of his hand and walked with him over to the hardware store. Her eyes lit up at the paint colors and she selected the brown rather quickly before debating over greens. "Alaric. Which one?" She asked holding up a mint green and a grass green.

The man came over and she got five cans of the brown paint, and then one of the green. "I want too head home and start now!"she smiled.

Klaus looked at Andie when she spoke before heading up the stairs to change. She was pretty enough for him to deal with, but it seemed most witches held that allure. Soon she was coming down the stairs warning him about funny business. "I aam more gentlemanly than that, love." He assured her before they headed to the Grill. It seemed a lot of people were in there, and Jeremy was their server. He shot Klaus a look before smiling to,Andie. "what can I get for you?"
