Puzzle Pieces – Chapter 2 – Dragged in For Life
I forgot to put a disclaimer in the last chapter so here it is:
Disclaimer: I neither own nor have any say in anything to do with the Vampire Diaries TV show or Books. This fanfiction was written purely for me and my readers' amusement. Anything not associated with TVD is under my name; such as my OC and her family.
Yes! A second chapter! Also, thanks to my first reviewer for this story
RippahGoneWolf: First off, your username intrigues me (: I just want to point that out. Now, as for twists, yes, I guess this story is going to have a lot of them. Especially since my OC character has been introduced and that a new species has been introduced as well. I'm just playing around with the strings as of right now, but be sure to keep an eye out, some little things may turn out to be really big (;
And thanks to my second reviewer for this story
tvdspnislife: Well I'm glad you like how it is written. I tried editing but some things are still a bit... Iffy. I am glad you like Sienna. I tried making her into everything that would compliment Elijah's personality but that didn't go very well... Ahaha, I'll just go with the flow. Thank you for reading and I appreciate you review.
This chapter went up a little earlier thanks to my reviewers ;)
Anyways, this chapter is when Klaus explains everything to Stefan and Sienna. Rebekah realizes something pretty important as well.
Be warned, I will not be narrating the flashbacks from the show in here. If you want to see precisely what Klaus said, go watch it. Should be season 4 episode 4, the Five.
Enjoy!
Last Time:
"Slow down, Stefan. I must always have leverage. I will tell you all you need to know, about the Hunters and half-Children. Once you bring me Rebekah. She and I are not on good terms as of now, and she has a few things that I need. It may be good for her to believe she has forgiven me so that I can ensure she will help me."
"And you want me to get her here."
"That is correct." Klaus allowed a smile onto his face. Things were going well with Stefan.
Stefan stood up and turned to leave. Klaus followed his actions and waited until Stefan turned to face him. "And trust me, Stefan, when I say this. That Hunter in there holds the answer to all your dreams and prayers."
What was she doing here again? Sienna didn't know. The past two days had been a blur and although Klaus had been extremely hospitable, she missed her family dearly. Her worry for her mother's health only grew with every passing moment and her constant spacing out had begun to annoy Klaus.
"Do behave tonight, Sienna. You may learn a few things about yourself."
The girl turned to look up at Klaus. Her eyes were wide but they had lost their shine ages ago. "What do you want with me? I have no powers, and I am not a… vampire." Sienna frowned and looked down at her feet. The fact that she was living in a town filled to the brim with vampires and lycanthropes creeped her out. The fact that her host was a vampire as well, a hybrid to be specific, let's just say she wasn't expecting this when her dad moved her family over to America.
"Ah, they are here." Klaus turned to smile at Stefan as he walked into the room. Behind him was a girl who looked about Sienna's age. She had a scowl on her pretty face and Sienna felt slightly intimidated.
"Sit down, dear sister. There are things we must discuss."
"Nik, I do not wish to pretend. I shall not tell you anything until I have your apology. I was promised with it and I do not intend to be cheated." The girl sat down with a huff and Sienna's eyes widened. This girl was Klaus' sister? Was she also a vampire?
"And what is that human doing here? Do not tell me you have fallen that low, Nik, that you need to pay for attention?"
Sienna frowned and growled softly as the girl's meaning showed itself. "It would be nice for you to stop talking for now, sister of Klaus, as it seems that you yourself seek attention."
The girl turned to face Sienna and looked at her weirdly. "I wouldn't suggest you say things like that to me, girl. I am far stronger than you."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, Rebekah. This human here has more to her than meets the eye." Klaus cut into the girls' bickering, a small smirk upon his face.
"I could list a million other people I would rather be dining with. Can you just cut to the chase?" Stefan sighed as he leaned back on his chair. Klaus smirked wider before turning to Rebekah, who had placed a rather large scowl on her face.
"All right, sister, I am sorry for taking you for granted, will you forgive me?"
"Hmm…" Rebekah tilted her head and looked at her nails. "I'll take it into consideration."
Sienna stifled a laugh as she listened to the blonde's response. This girl sure had nerve. From what she, herself, knew of Klaus, he wasn't someone to be picking fights with.
"The Five?" Stefan cocked his head and turned slightly in his chair to face Klaus. Sienna copied the vampire's movement.
"Ah, yes. The Five." Klaus grinned sadistically before turning to Sienna, looking at her as if telling her listen carefully. "More so, Rebekah's Hunter, Alexander. Right, he was a nice chap.
"The Hunters, the Five, were looking for creatures of the night. That was why; my family and I felt quite safe around him, wearing our daylight rings. Elijah and I played along with him, asking questions about how he supposed he would catch these… Original vampires. Rebekah, however, took it to a whole other level." Klaus stopped and turned his head to his sister, a smirk finding itself onto his face. Sienna shifted. The atmosphere was tense and it was becoming hard to find oxygen.
"Well, brother, I would not say I took it to another level. Is it so wrong for me to try and find love?"
"Well your pathetic love nearly got us all killed, Rebekah. Remember that next time you decide to go on the hunt for a fairy tale ending."
Stefan cleared his throat loudly as he played around with a glass of dark liquid in his hand. Sienna frowned as she realised what the substance was. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Sienna, an almost pitying look in his eyes.
"Ah yes, anyway. On one fateful night, Rebekah and her Hunter had decided to have a sleepover, to talk about their plans for the future. It wasn't until we were drugged that we realised, I realised, that the Hunter knew about us. He daggered us all in our sleep and had I not been a hybrid... Were I not a hybrid, our family would have perished, along with all the vampires in the world." Klaus sighed and leaned back on his chair, glancing across the table at Rebekah, as if trying to determine her reaction.
"The Hunters were initially a group of five hunters, destined to kill vampires to complete their mark."
"Mark?" This time, it was Sienna who had cut in, leaning forward to look at Klaus with a glance of interest. The Hybrid chuckled before smirking widely. Something had clicked in Sienna when she heard of the mark. As if…
"Yes, Sienna, the mark. Along with the sword, it has the power to lead us to a powerful…" Klaus trailed off.
"Powerful?"
"Rebekah, do you want to tell them what the mark leads us to?"
The blonde sighed before looking up from the table. "The mark, when completed, forms a map. This map would lead us to a cure."
Stefan sat forward expectantly. "A cure… for vampirism?"
Klaus grinned widely and Sienna scowled. It seemed that had been his motive throughout the whole dinner. Rebekah stood. "That's what you want, isn't it, Nik? You want a cure for Elena, so you can go back to making your pathetic army of hybrids."
"And Half-Children?" Stefan turned again to Klaus, raising his eyebrow again.
"What did you say?" Rebekah sat up.
"You know about them, dear sister?"
Rebekah scowled at Klaus but chose to ignore him. She looked at Sienna and narrowed her eyes. "Alexander may have mentioned them to me…"
Sienna turned to the Hybrid and found it was no surprise to her that Klaus was trying extremely hard to keep his temper in check.
"He said that Half-Children were the beginning and the end of everything. That they could start a whole new world whilst destroying the old one. He also mentioned… their powers."
"I don't suppose he mentioned anything else, dear sister. Any other things you would like to finally share with your brother?"
"Yes, Klaus, there was. He had spoken of their extreme fertility; that they could bear the child of any species and therefore creating a mixed breed. Not just Hybrids, though. Any being with even just an ounce of Half-Child blood in them, can breed with anything. That creates a whole new world of possibilities. It was previously thought that witches and vampires couldn't be present in the same being. If you think about it, it doesn't seem to far-fetched with a Half-Child involved." Rebekah paused to take a breath and Klaus continued for her, catching onto what she was saying.
"So that means, if a child of a Half-Child Hybrid mated with another, they could create a full mixed species?"
"Yes, if the time and effort were taken, Witch, Werewolf, Vampire, Human and Half-Child could all be present in the same being. Maybe more."
Rebekah saw her brother's glance to Sienna and laughed loudly. "But you see, brother. A Half-Child is destined to only have one mate. And only with one mate would he/she be able to bear children. I know the thought running through your mind. I will do whatever it takes to make sure this girl is not your mate. We don't want little tri-breeds running around…"
This was information Sienna didn't know and she sat back with a sigh. What happened next didn't surprise Stefan or Sienna. It merely left the girl a wee bit unnerved.
Rebekah and Klaus argued over their family bonds, resulting in the blonde storming out. Sienna stood as Stefan did and turned to face the Hybrid.
"Was this what you wanted? Whatever you planned on getting out of her, I sure hope you did before you kicked her away." Stefan spoke quietly, as if contemplating Klaus' next move, or his ulterior motive.
"Ah, you've got me. I would never have gotten anything I didn't know out of her anyway. You however..." Klaus smirked at Stefan as the younger vampire shifted uneasily. "She would open up to you."
"And you want me to find the location of the sword?"
"Yes; precisely. If you do, you can ensure Elena's fast trip back to humanity." Klaus dropped his grin as he waited for Stefan to answer. Instead, the younger vampire merely glanced again at Sienna before walking out.
The Hybrid turned to face Sienna, and lifted an eyebrow. "Is there something you would like to ask me?"
"Yes actually; two things. That man in the room… Connor, is he a Hunter? He had a weird tattoo going down his arm… And also, can I go see my parents?"
Klaus stopped abruptly before turning quickly to face Sienna. A slow grin crawled menacingly on his face. "Of course you would be able to see it… Half-Children…" He turned and started to walk away but Sienna grabbed onto his arm.
"My parents?"
"Ahh; yes. You are free to go, but you mustn't leave town. You will have to remember I am a hybrid and your family are vulnerable. Plus, I have my two original brothers scattered across the globe." Klaus stared at Sienna for a while, as if watching whether she would protest. Instead, the girl grinned radiantly before heading toward the door.
Sienna turned around and grinned widely at Klaus. "I'm going to get to know some more people. Please don't kill any more people while I'm gone."
"The nerve; she has known me for less than 24 hours and she's acting like my keeper." Klaus shook his head before heading back to Connor. "Now, Stefan. You can come back in now; there are more things we must discuss."
Sienna walked around town, glad that she had talked to her parents. Her dad had given her a confusing look but her mother had merely embraced her, crying over and over again how glad she was that Sienna was alive.
It had taken the poor girl a while to wrap her head around everything that was happening and she hadn't found the guts to confront her father. He obviously knew what everything was about.
"What…?" Sienna whispered quietly and quickly pushed herself into a nearby crowd. Ignoring the annoyed looks that were sent her way, she peered out onto the road again. Somehow, Sienna had found herself in front of the Grill. It wasn't this that unnerved her, however. It was the fact that Connor was standing there, with a bag of what seemed like weapons.
Acting on instinct, Sienna broke free from the crowd and headed back to Klaus' mansion. Upon her arrival, Klaus opened the door with a grim from on his face.
"I know." He pushed her aside and dragged one of his hybrids out. "I want you to head over to the grill to see what's happening. Fix it."
The Hybrid nodded obediently before speeding off, leaving Sienna frowning.
"How could you just order him around like that, like he's your little… bitch."
"I suppose that's one way of putting it. Now I have a job for you, Sienna. I want you to head over to the Salvatore mansion and inform the brothers of this. Mainly Stefan."
"Why should I listen to you, I barely know you."
"Your family, Sienna."
Sienna growled and bit her lip. She glared at the smirking Hybrid once before turning and sprinting off, heading for Stefan's home, the place where she had been kept in a cell for over 3 days.
"I change my mind, Sienna, do not tell anyone other than Stefan. Damon will cause unnecessary damage, meaning the doppelganger."
Sienna frowned as she pulled her phone back from her ear. Klaus had somehow got a hand on her number, rung her, ordered her to do something in two sentences then hung up before she could speak a word.
"Ugh, Klaus!" Sienna sighed as she stayed put in her car. "A little late, don't you think? I already told Stefan. You're lucky Damon nor that girl were there." Sienna mumbled the last sentence before getting out of the car. She looked at the bar in front of her.
"Well, here goes nothing…" she sighed as she headed to the door. Sienna paused as she saw a figure on the other side. To her horror, he blew up. She recognised him as Klaus' Hybrid and this caused her anger to bubble.
She quietly pushed the door open before freezing again. That girl, Elena, was inside and she was talking to someone, most likely Connor.
"I guess I'll go round the back, or something." The girl did as she said, turning to head round the back, pushing the back door open only to find herself in some sort of tunnel.
"Wow, some back door this place has." She started moving into the tunnel, seriously doubting her decision.
"C'mon April, we have to hurry up."
Sienna froze as she heard voices heading toward her. She backed up against the wall as the two figures approached.
"Matt, that man, he was crazy, right? What are we going to do? Jeremy's still in there."
Sienna frowned. Matt? She sighed before calling out softly. "Matt? It's Sienna, is everything all right?"
"Sienna?" Came his reply as the two figures closed in on her. When they neared, Sienna could just make out Matt's face, along with another girl. "What are you doing here? It's not safe!"
Matt dragged her hand along with the other girl and pulled them both out. Sienna grabbed her hand back before halting her feet. "Stop, Matt. I have to go in there. Just let me go, I'll be fine."
"No, Sienna, it's too dangerous, you don't n=know what you're up against."
Sienna sent the quarterback a look before running into the tunnel, now sure that this was the right way. She could hear Matt's yell behind her and was glad that other girl was there. She could keep him occupied.
Sienna turned a sharp corner before coming to a halt. Surprisingly, she felt quite safe in the tunnels, seeing how there was a mad hunter and probably some vampire up ahead. Sienna grabbed onto a fairly large rock and picked it up. She waited as she heard footsteps nearing her.
"You!" She cried as she spotted Connor. He charged at her and all of a sudden, the rock in her hand was no more. Instead, she held a well-crafted stone dagger.
Normally, Sienna would have yelled in surprise but right then, she barely had enough time to lift the dagger up and block Connor's attack.
"These vampires are monsters, Sienna. You can't side with them."
"You're a monster too! You tried to keep innocents in captivity and you killed someone!"
"He was a monster, Sienna!"
It was only then that the girl realised how the Hunter shouldn't have known her name. It was that moment that she hesitated and Connor hit her, hard. Her arm bone cracked and excruciating pain followed. Sienna closed her eyes and let her body sag.
"No!" A voice yelled before Connor was pulled off her. Sienna heard an agonising snap before the girl snapped Connor's neck. Elena turned to face her. Sienna paled.
"You…" The vampire descended upon her, and before Sienna could react, she felt a sharp pain at her neck before everything dulled and blackened. She could faintly hear a yell before everything came to a stand-still.
Oh My Gosh! She died! And only in the second chapter… I'm a horrible owner to my oc… hehe. But she's not gone, you guys know that, it's only been two chapters, and plus, Elijah hasn't shown up yet.
Please stay tuned and wait for the next update.
I have a feeling this chapter was confusing so feel free to leave a review or something with any questions you might have.
Once again, thank you to RippahGoneWolf and tvdspnislife for being my first reviewers for this story. I hope you like this chapter and feel free to give me some pointers if you would like.
That's all for now, until Monday,
Crimson xx
