Redemption

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters other than Davie ,Dora and Sophia.

Nik POV

"How long do you plan on staying in this forsaken town?"

My sister asked me as she marched into the den where I was sitting at the desk looking over figures for some businesses I owned in New Orleans.

"What's it to you? I certainly haven't asked you to stay" I replied as I looked up at her.

"Well I don't want to stay with Elijah and you are usually fun to hang around...when you aren't planning on killing anyone."

"Well I'm not planning on killing around here"m

"So why are you here? Does it have something to do with that Salvatore brat?"

"Which one are you referring to?" I asked as my sister glanced at me "Are you?...are you interested in the Salvatore male?"

"What? Of course not! Why would you think?"

"Thank goodness. He is actually cute"

I rolled my eyes. My sister would think that since she had a penchant for blonde haired boys with green eyes.

"So are you planning on pursuing him?"

"Are you planning on pursuing whomever it is you are now obsessed with?"

I sighed not wanting to discuss it, it was truly complicated and the reality was I was in over my head. Sophia seemed to be a handful however at the end of the day she was only seventeen and from what I observed and saw she hadn't even had a real relationship which didn't make me feel any better. How could she choose me if she didn't have someone to compare me with? I would just have to get to know her and be her friend before even trying to date her.

Did I even want to date her? She was gorgeous, yes however was that all it takes for me to decide if I want to spend time with someone? There was also the tiny fact that she was a hybrid..part vamp and witch. Who knew what the hell that meant? Would she age to a certain point or continue to grow old? Would we have children and if that was to happen, would our children be in danger? Would she even want to be with someone who tried to kill her parents on numerous occasions?

Sophia POV

Days after Dora's restaurant opening I returned to school. Even though I was a senior I was still uncertain what I wanted to do with my life, which was why I majored in psychology. I figured I could at least get into a decent graduate program before making a decision. It didn't help when both of your parents were smart and your siblings both having prestigious careers. At times I loathed being the youngest.

As I sat in the cafeteria waiting for Davie, I noticed a blonde woman looking at me. I snorted as she turned her head when I tried to maintain eye contact with her. This woman had spent the past few days literally stalking my brother. I had seen her when we went out to eat last week and at his classes and now here in the cafe.

It was obvious she was a vampire and even more obvious that she felt she was more powerful than my parents... Which was a lie. I waited for another twenty minutes before walking over to her. She looked up, her eyes flashing before she drawled "yes...how can I help you?"

I smiled as I sat down, looked her in the eye and then compelled her "I'm more interested in why you were staring at me. Tell me everything" she looked at me blankly before opening her mouth "my name is Rebekah Mikealson. I was checking you out to see what kind of a person you were since my brother seems to be infatuated with you"

"And your brother would be?"

"Niklaus"

Well this was news to me since he had avoided me after meeting me that night at the Restaurant.

As I opened my mouth to continue to question her she shook her head and said "who invited you to sit down?"

I laughed "you did of course. Now want to tell me why you are stalking my brother?"

As she was going to respond my brother walked up "sorry I was late, dad called and wanted me to tell you we all need to be home for dinner tonight"

"Is mom ok?"

"Yes I think they want to make an announcement"

"Do you think they are getting a divorce?"

Davie laughed as he sat down, ruffling my black locks, "dad would never divorce mom or allow her to leave him. I'm sure it's not bad news" he looked over at Rebekah "who is your friend?"

"She's not really my friend" I said as Rebekah held her hand out "Rebekah Mikealson"

Davie looked at her and shook her hand saying "nice to meet you" before turning to me "let's get out of here. I told Dora we would eat at her place"

"Alright" I replied standing up as well " see you around" I said to Rebekah before Davie led me out of the cafeteria, glaring at any cute guy that looked my way.

Later that evening, my mother beamed as she looked at the three of us around the table. "It's so nice to have everyone home" she said as my father smiled at her from the other end of the table before saying "would it kill you kids to come home more often?"

I held back the smirk from my lips knowing that my father would look at me with a death glare if he saw it. Dora smiled "daddy I would...its hard with the restaurant just starting off"

Davie cut in stating " as soon as I take my MCATS I can start attending nightly dinners"

Everyone turned to look at me "I can have dinner tomorrow as well" my mother smiled as my father mouthed thank you.

After dessert my mother was clearing the table and my dad motioned us to the library "next week is our anniversary and I wanted to throw your mother a party at the restaurant"

Dora smiled at our dad "daddy that would be awesome."

Our father smiled " I would also like to hire a band so I can have them play a song for your mother"

"Dad can I write the song for you?" I asked as everyone looked at me in surprise.

"What? I have been taking piano lessons and music classes forever. It would be a nice way for me to give you a gift"

"Thank you sweetie that would be wonderful" he finally said as he moved over and kissed my forehead.

"Well I'm leaving , do you need a ride soph?" Davie asked as he kissed our mother and then hugged our father.

"Yes please" I said as I did the same before moving to hug Dora as well.

Three days later I was at the student bookstore looking for some sheet music when I walked into someone.

"Sorry I wasn't looking" I said as I knelt down to grab the sheet music.

"Allow me" the person said as I looked up and saw Nik kneeling next to me as he picked up the sheet music.

I stood up when he handed me the music "thanks"

"You are welcome" he replied as he smiled at me before taking a step back slightly. I immediately frowned. Did I smell? I had went to the gym earlier this morning however I had taken a shower. Plus I had an excellent sense of smell and I didn't smell.

"How have you been?" He finally asked as I looked up at him "I've been busy. How about you?" I watched as the smile on his face disappeared before he stiffly replied

"Busy as well"

"Well I guess I'll see you around?" I finally stated as I turned to walk away. I didn't understand the guy. It seemed as though he was happy to see me and then had changed his mind midway into our conversation.

What the hell was his problem I thought as I purchased the sheet music and then turned to see him standing in the same spot, looking a bit lost. I walked back to him jabbing him in his chest" what the heck is your problem? I haven't seen you since my sister's opening, and I definitely did not offend you"

Nik looked taken aback before standing up straighter "nothing is the matter with me. I was just...I thought... I'm sorry...this is a lot harder than I originally thought it would be"

"what exactly is hard about being a person with some manners?" I replied hotly as Nik smiled "you certainly have the same passion your mother did"

"And you would know that because?"

"Well I knew your parents and your aunt and uncle"

"So your sister Rebekah knew them as well?"

"My sister? When did you meet my sister?"

"A few days ago we officially met however she has been stalking my brother for the past couple of weeks...which is gross since she is way older than him"

"In that respect it would be gross for you and I to be together than...since I am way older than you"

"That's pretty bold of you to think that we would ever be together, especially with the way you just treated me. Not to mention how you have pretty much avoided me since we met"

"You are right...that is pretty presumptuous of me to think we could be anything other than friends"

"Friends? I have enough friends thanks"

"Yes but what you need to ask yourself is can your friends do what I can?"

"And what exactly can you do that my friends can't do?"

Nik smiled "I can give you the world"

I looked at him to see if he was serious before laughing out loud "my father can give me the world if I wanted it...so I'm going to have to decline. When you think of something else come and find me"
