Chapter One:
"Why do you even care about him? Does he even know you exist?" My husband asks me from the bathroom. I continue curling my light caramel locks in the mirror.
"It doesn't matter, James. He's causing too much trouble in Mystic Falls. He's drawing too much attention to himself." I say. He sighs and finishes tying his tie. I look at him from the corner of my eye.
"Which brings me to my question…Why do you care?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. That's a pretty damn good question. Niklaus doesn't know that I exist. I've been trying to clean up his messes through the centuries, but it's no use. He is the complete opposite of me. He's controlling, manipulative, menacing, and mean spirited. But every now and then, I'll see a flicker of something. A small glimpse of humanity, which leads me to believe that somewhere deep inside him there is someone good.
"I can't give up on him. I know there's someone good, compassionate, and kind in there. I just have to try and bring it out. He's terrorizing these people in Mystic Falls, I have to stop him. I think it's time he knows about his little sis." I say, placing the curling wand down on the table. I spin around to face James. He looks at me with a guilty expression on his face.
"You always see the good in people, even when there is none. Are you one hundred percent sure you want someone like him in your life?" He questions me. I sigh. Not really, but he is my brother. Maybe he could explain what happened to me. I don't understand why how I'm a vampire-werewolf hybrid. Esther only casted the immortality spell upon her children. I have no relation to Esther's children other than Niklaus. Nik and I are the only vampire-werewolf hybrids in the world. I wonder if I'm considered an Original.
"I don't know. All I know as of right now, is that I need Klaus to answer my questions. I want him to know that I exist. I spent too many centuries lurking in the shadows." I say, walking up to him.
"Are you coming with me?" I ask, grabbing his hand. His crystal blue eyes stare at me with a soft expression on his sculpted features. I notice the stubble on his perfectly carved jawline.
"Shave before you do." I wink at him. I grab my bags and swipe the keys form the desk in the corner of our grand bedroom at vampire speed.
"Fine. I'll go with you. I know that you'll be more than capable of handling yourself, considering you're the most powerful being on earth, other than Klaus." He finally gives up being stubborn.
"Alright. I'll go grab the car, pack up." I smile and run through our mansion at the speed of light. I make it to our Mercedes and have the bags in the trunk and car started in a second. Soon, James flies down the stairs and throws his luggage in the backseat.
He grabs my hand, and places a light kiss on it.
"I love you, darling. If Niklaus is the one who can answer all your questions about how you came to be, than I am more than happy to meet him and have him in our lives." He says. I sense there is more, so I wait.
"But..." He begins. Ah, there it is.
"If he hurts you, in any way, or if he is just a jerk to us, than we are leaving. Okay?" He says. I nod my head. James has always been protective, although that's completely unnecessary.
"Okay." I agree. I pull out of our windy driveway and begin speeding towards Mystic Falls, where my destiny awaits. This new chapter of my life is exciting. It may open some doors for me. It may also close some I didn't even know were open. This is a new adventure, and I'm glad I have the person I love by my side to travel with.
