My name is Ziva David and I have got a secret that no one will guess. If you had 1000 chances you still probably wouldn't get it right. You're probably dying with curiosity trying to find out so, I'll tell you my secret I'm a vampire.
I was a human for 18 years before I was turned in 1470 by an Original Rebekah Michelson. Rebekah saved my life when she turned me, which is ironic because technically we're dead. Anyway, after she turned me she asked me to come back to the New World with her and her family I accepted. I grew close to her family and I felt like I was a member of it. But despite Rebekah's warnings I began a friend's with benefits type of relationship with her brother Klaus that was on and off for a couple of centuries.
Klaus isn't exactly sane some would say he's a psychopath and well, they'd be right. I didn't help matters much when, Rebekah turned me Klaus saw someone that he could teach. And he taught me well he taught me how to kill and how to enjoy it. After almost three centuries I left Rebekah and her family because Klaus got cursed, went insane (More so than he already was), he became convinced I was evil, and tortured me for three weeks.
After that I couldn't be around him so I left. I spent the next couple of centuries traveling the world and never staying in one place for too long. Until a couple of years ago when I came back to America I decided that I could do some good and decided to work for a government agency called NCIS. Of course they don't know I'm a vampire and I got the job through compulsion. And they really don't know that I sometimes kill people some of the time I feel guilty, but hey a girl's got to eat.
I've settled into a nice life here I have a job and friends some might say it's a normal life. Except it's not a normal life because I'm not normal and certainly not human and I don't delude myself into believing that I am. And lately, I've had a bed feeling that something big is going to happen and it's going to rip my nice life to shreds. For those of you that would call me cynical well I'll just have you know that I was right.
It all started one night as I was leaving work "so, Ziva when are you going to let me take you out on a date?" Tony DiNozzo asked me as we were heading towards the elevator. "How many times do I have to keep saying 'no' for you to get the point? I don't want to go out with you and besides it's against Gibbs' rules." He grinned "see now your lips say one thing but your eyes tell a different story." I shook my head as we stepped onto the elevator "you're incorrigible, you know that." "That's what they tell me." After he got off the elevator I laughed to myself I mean Tony and I dating was almost the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard. Starting with the fact that Tony can even deal with dating women his own age how would he handle dating someone over 500?
As I walked across the parking garage I felt something move behind me "come out now and maybe I won't break your neck." I said. Not even ½ second later a man stood in front of me a man that I've not seen in almost three years. "Elijah." I said genuinely surprised. Elijah is Rebekah and Klaus's older brother and possibly the sanest one in the entire family. "Ziva, it is good to see you." He said formally. "It's good to see you to, but I'm guessing this isn't a social call. What's wrong?" he then had that look in his eyes that can only mean one thing. "It's Klaus." He said. "No." I said before using super speed to get to my car. He did the same thing and appeared right before me. "Ziva listen." He said then I interrupted him "No whatever it is no. I'm done with Klaus." He grabbed my shoulder "Listen." He said using a small amount of compulsion. I looked at him and he let go of my shoulder.
"Klaus is going to have a child with a werewolf." He said maybe he's not the sane one after all. "That's impossible. Vampires can't have children it's one of the side effects of being dead." I said convinced that Elijah had lost his mind. "You're right. Vampires can't have children but werewolves can and as you're aware Klaus is part werewolf." He explained. "Even if I believed you, which I don't tell me what this has to do with me." I said crossing my arms. "I'm having trouble getting through to him you of all people know how stubborn he is. And I truly believe he is not beyond redemption and this baby will be his chance." "I'm still waiting for the part where this has anything to do with me." I said impatiently.
"I was hoping that you would come back to New Orleans with me and you could talk to him." "What makes you think he'd to listen to me?" "You've always had an influence over him and the baby isn't the only reason I came here. We've have some trouble with the witches in New Orleans and Rebekah and I could use your help." "Elijah, you and Rebekah are like famliy to me and I want to help but that doesn't change the fact that the last time I saw Klaus he stabbed me and told me to stay away from him. I got the message he doesn't want me around."
"Ziva, please as a favor to me will you come back with me?" he said almost pleadingly. I sighed "as a favor to you I promise to think about it." "I suppose that's the best I can hope for." Elijah said. Before turning to leave "We're staying in the governor's mansion if you decide to come." He added before disappearing into the night.
I got in my car drove home and did what I promised I thought about it. I set my keys down on my counter and thought. While I have absolutely no desire to see Klaus again but if Rebekah and Elijah are in trouble I owe it to them to help. They'd given me a family when I had none and we were a family for three hundred years. Plus I owe Rebekah my life I still remember what she said to me when I asked her why she saved me "Us girls have got to stick together." I sighed again I know what I have to do now even though it will probably cost me my sanity.
