This is my first story and it's my version of how to deal with the Silas problem and bring back the characters that people are missing.
Disclaimer - I do not own any of the characters from Vampire Diaries but I do own the plot and my own characters such as Dawn.
After Klaus left he realized what was coming. Although he'd wish to forget, it was impossible, he had broken the two promises. He tried to block the fear with thoughts of Caroline, but it didn't work. As he walked through into his lounge both Rebekah and Elijah sat their watching him, Elijah then got up.
"Brother, we need to know. If Silas is back, where is Dawn?" The topic of her made Klaus cringe
"Nothing. Forget her. Her casket was lost remember?" He then poured himself a glass of scotch.
"You mean you've hidden her? Nik we need her here now more than ever!" Argue Rebekah. In rage Klaus threw the glass across the room. "SHE'S NOT COMING REBEKAH!"
A sudden chill filled the room and put the hairs on Klaus's neck stand on end.
"My ears have been burning" It was over; the voice he wish he'd never hear again was back and it was vengeful. He turned around slowly with his head bowed, he then looked up.
"Hello Niklaus, have you missed me?" He ran but not in enough time, she blocked the doorway and stared into his eyes. "Why the hurry Niklaus? Are you trying to conceal something from me?" She smirked and placed her ice cold hands on his neck and her eyes changed. "Please Dawn don't!" Then there was darkness. As Klaus fell to the ground, she laughed, the only laugh you could do when you'd been dead for over 1000 years. She turned to Elijah and Rebekah and smiled. "I'm back"
As Klaus gathered his senses he saw his brother standing over him, Elijah helped him sit up and handed him a glass of blood. Dawn was sitting beside the fire with a glass of wine, watching him. "Ah finally. You've been gone for hours! And you call yourself a hybrid!" She stood up and looked at one of his paintings.
"You know why I'm here Nik. You really think that putting me in a locked container was going to stop me?"
She hinted at Elijah and Rebekah to leave, then perched herself next to Klaus.
"I'm here either because Silas is back or Kol is dead. I'm expecting that it'd only be one as it'd be stupid of you to break both promises. Eh?"
She lifted his chin so she could look into his eyes. She stood up again and walked to the doorway. "How long have you been back?" Asked Klaus. She turned, looked at the clock and smiled. "An hour" She then left leaving Klaus in fear.
"I must say Dawn; I've never seen Nik that scared before." Laughed Rebekah.
"Indeed nor have I. Yet in ways there is something satisfying about it, but I guess even the powerful fear" Replied Dawn, they slowed and Rebekah turned to Dawn
"Who do you fear then?"
Dawn looked up to the sky "Myself…Anyway show me delights of the 21st century."
Rebekah laughed "First we need to make you look modern" Rebekah and Dawn ran upstairs giggling; it was like she'd never been away. Elijah slowly re-entered the lounge and poured two glasses of scotch. He then walked over and sat next to Klaus.
"Brother, does she know? Asked Elijah, he didn't look at Klaus staring at the fireplace he sipped his drink. Klaus picked up the other glass and shook his head.
"No, not yet. She's been carted around in a casket for 500 years she needs time to settle before I break it to her." Elijah laughed in disbelief at Klaus's compassion.
"You mean to say that we're going to let her settle and then push her back down? Brother…Please. You need to break it to her soon; if she finds out that you're hiding it she'll be even madder. So when are you planning to tell her?"
"Maybe after she kills Silas? But then again she won't be able to bring Kol or Finn back after. Until I find a way it must be kept a secret, you don't know what I had to promise to dagger her." Elijah stared at Klaus knowing. "Two promises Elijah, and I broke both. You know what she's like without him, remember? Massacre, she's unstable" Elijah got up and put his hand on Klaus's shoulder.
"She'll be even more unstable if you keep it secret for much longer. As she has a forgiving and sympathetic nature, she lost her love but we've lost our brother. I and Rebekah are here to keep her sane." As he went to leave Klaus spoke again.
"What makes matters worse is that it was Elena…" Elijah stopped dead in his tracks and looked back. "If Dawn finds out…"
