I had debated staying quiet on the matter, but I feel the need to put in my two cents on the recent events that have gone on. I’m sure many of you will take issue with it like Ruby and Hal, and you’re free to tell me off or voice your concerns.
By all means, have contingency plans for us if it will ease your minds and put you at ease. But do not forget my family and I fought by your side in this war, and like a few others, Bekah suffered unimaginably for it. We have made friends with some of you. Laughed with you and stood by your side. And yet, the contingency plans? If it makes you feel better, so be it.
We have done nothing since our arrival here. Nothing. We have not killed anyone and we agreed to the truce. Do our tempers get the best of us? Do we sometimes yell and shout and say—in your eyes—stupid and dangerous things? Yes. But not once since our arrival have we hurt any of you.
How soon you all forget.
I cannot speak for all my siblings, nor do I wish to, but I can tell you all I want here is to be able to live happily with the love of my life, and to have a second chance at happiness with my family. They are the ones that matter to me. That’s all I want. As long as nobody hurts Katherine or my siblings, I’m fine. You have nothing to fear from me.
I will admit that I sometimes speak before thinking and get hot under the collar when I feel my family or Katherine is being mistreated, but I will never act unless they are directly and physically attacked. If having a plan to take me down makes you sleep better at night? So be it.

Now: for the lot of you. I’m tired of this. I’m tired of all this fighting and all this unneeded drama between all of us. Do you not realize that we all have to stick together? For 1000 years that is all we’ve done, and it seems to be crumbling before your eyes. So I have a few choice words for all of you.
Rebekah: I have the feeling your hiding something. I don’t know what it is, but you seem to be spiraling lately, and I do not like that you feel the needed to hide things from us. Do not filter one of us out of a conversation, it only needs to hurt feelings and more tempers erupting.
Kol: While you’re anger and ranting towards Elena Gilbert was totally justified, you ignited an angry and vengeful mob. Just remember to hold your head high and prove them all wrong. They are better than what they give you credit for.
Klaus: You need to stop with your petty jealous and sulking and brooding. Boohoo, Rebekah calls Kol her ‘twin’. Get over it. We actually want to be liked here and have friends and live for something other than we lived for back home. Get over it. I love you brother, we all do, but I will no longer tip-toe around you, I will no longer hold back on my relationship with Katherine. I want her. I’m going to be with her. If I chose to marry her one day and you disown me? It’s been fun. I’m not bending for you anymore, just like you are no longer bending for us. I am completely done kissing your ass. You seem to disavow the 1000 years of loyalty we gave you. You tell Kol to stop sulking? You seem to be the only one sulking. You didn’t like that I gave Rebekah away, you don’t like that she lovingly refers to Kol as her ‘twin’. God forbid any of us have something with Rebekah that you don’t have.
None of us are trying to change you anymore. You keep going on, and on, and on about how you bent for us. Well then stop bending. Go back to behaving however you want. I don’t care. But we shouldn’t be mocked for wanting to be liked—for wanting to have friends here.
Henrik: I’m sorry that you’re caught in the middle of all of this. 1000 years of hurt, anger and backstabbing on all ends is hard to get over. We are trying, and while it may not always seem like it, we love each other and we love you. I’m not leaving, okay? I’m just going and spending a few days with my girlfriend.
Caroline: I love you little sun. You’re one of the best things that happened to this family and to Klaus. I’m sorry that you constantly get dragged into our drama. I love you, little sister.
Stefan, Crowley and Anna: Thank you for loving my siblings. I am grateful for each and every one of you.
Katherine: You. Yes you. I’m telling you this in front of all of them. I love you. Very much. I’ll never take you for granted, never regret the choice I made in loving you and in trusting you with my heart. I’m grateful you haven’t run away from us screaming yet.
Damon: I don't think you're planning against us, so don't worry. I have no issues with you.
[Elena]
I am sorry that it has taken me this long to greet you properly, Elena. But I hope you’re adjusting to life in Lawrence.
Please know you have nothing to fear from me here. I realize I have never given you a reason to trust me, but all I want while I am here is to live my life peacefully with Katherine and my family. I don’t want to fight. I believe you when you say you’ll leave Kol and Katherine alone, so I have no reason to want anything to happen to you.
If you ever need anything, please let me know.
