People would say that things happen for a reason, that fate is a big part of our lives, but I for one don't like to think that fate controls my destiny I control my own destiny. I have for all of my years I have lived and not lived. I am the youngest of the Salvatore siblings, the one that gets casted out for falling in love not once but twice with an enemy of theirs, but the thing is they weren't the true enemy that everyone was thinking.

I left Mystic Falls once and did it again to have a better future then I was having there. When the other side was beginning to crumble Myself and my brothers went to the other side to help as much as we could, with getting Alric back I decided to have pity on someone I thought could have a second chance, but with doing so I lost not only a friend but my older brother in the process too…

~Gabrielle Salvatore


Flashback

Running up to Bonnie I look from her back to my brothers, then back to Bonnie.

"Thank you for everything," I tell her

"Hey we're friends right?" she asks

"Right," I smile before turning back to Damon

"Go I'll be right behind you Gabby," he tells me

Nodding my head, I smile one last time at Bonnie before touching her and going back to the world of the living. Waiting as everyone came through I waited for my brothers I wasn't going to leave this spot till I got them back. Stephan came through but Damon didn't come through, looking back at my brother I kept looking over his shoulder to see if Damon would pop up.

"Please don't do this to me, god no, no, no, NO! Damon come back please!" I screamed

Still nothing as I cried, Stephan walked forward hugging me tightly, "I'm so sorry Gabrielle, I'm so sorry," he cried

"He can't be gone! He can't he's my older brother who is supposed to watch over me! He's supposed to goof off with me," I cried falling to the ground.

"Oh Gabrielle," he whispers

After a while everyone left, I stared down at the ground when I felt my hair move. Looking up and around me there was no one there, "Damon! Is that you?" I called

Feeling something press against me I realized it was indeed my brother, letting my tears fall even harder, I knew this was the end for him.

"Please don't leave me, I'm not ready to lose you Damon! I need you so does Stephan and Elena," I cried

Feeling pressure on my forehead I realized he was saying goodbye and it'll be ok. My screams could be heard throughout the cemetery, hearing a twig behind me I looked to see him standing there.

"I thought you would have ran off by now to your family," I sniffled

End of flashback


So here I was in Paris in the market getting groceries for dinner, trying to make a better life for myself. Hearing my phone go off I balance the bags in one arm and answer my phone in the other.

"Hey, I'm almost done," I exclaim

"Well, darling I hope it's something scrumptious," he chuckles

"Hey I'm pretty sure all I make is pretty good excuse me," I pout

"Darling don't pout, come home soon alright," he calls

"Understood, see you soon," I smile

Walking up to my home I juggled with the bags in my arms, before I even reached the door it opened and a gorgeous brunette walked out helping me take some of the bags.

"Darling do you remember what I told you a woman should never have to dirty her hands," he grins at me

"Well if we let you go and do the shopping one you would bring back rotten food, and two you someone might see you in that area and spread word that your existence is alive," I smiled

"I wouldn't have cared if people found out I was alive, my brothers would just come and try to dagger me, well I take that back, Nic would kill me if he found out I took his girl," he grins

"Yes Kol Mikaelson charmed the youngest sibling of the Salvatores," I rolled my eyes putting the food away

"That's the spirit love," he laughs slapping me on my butt

"Kol!" I gasped

"Yes darling," he grins

"The groceries can wait, I think I need a shower," I winked at him sauntering past him

"Love I think you just read my mind," I hear him laugh running behind me

Slowly cleaning up the dishes from dinner, I walked to the fridge to get another glass of wine when my phone went off. Setting the bottle on the table I turned and looked to see that it was a number I didn't recognize.

"Gabrielle's phone how may I help you," I smirk using Damon's lines

"Gabrielle I guessing that you're doing well," says a familiar voice

"Elijah what do I owe the pleasure of getting this call," I smiled

"I need some help down in New Orleans," he exclaims

Looking up to see Kol walking into the kitchen I shake my head and pressed my finger to my lips.

"Gabrielle?"

"Yes sorry I'm here Elijah look what exactly do you need my help for?" I ask

"It seems when you're relationship with Klaus went south and had that one night stand that something decided to stay," He states

"Really now, what exactly stayed?" I asked leaning back into Kol's arms

"The girl is pregnant with his child," he bluntly states

I stop everything dropping my on the counter I just stared ahead, I could hear Elijah calling my name but I just couldn't believe it.


Flashback

"What is one thing you want my sweet darling?" he asked

"I wanted a family, I wanted to have kids, and to have my brothers together," I said dancing with him with my head on his shoulder

"A family? Kids? Darling you're a vampire," he says

"I know Nic, but I always wanted to have at least one kid, before I died," I said looking into his eyes

"Alright love, I'm going to try something later when I talk to Gloria," he says smiling at me

"You're going to see if she came let me have children?" i asked smiling at him

"Of course love," he kissed my neck "come let's go see my sister,"

"Alright love" mocking his accent

End of flashback


Shaking my head, I picked up the phone, "I'm still here sorry my phone slipped from my hands,"

"It's quite alright Gabrielle I was wondering if you could come and help out here?" he asks

"You know that Klaus and I are no more, for all I know he doesn't want me around," I state

"Gabrielle," he sighs

"Look I'll think about it, give me a day and then I'll call you back or show up one of the two," I sigh

"Alright Good day Gabrielle,"

"Good night Elijah," I sigh hanging up the phone

"Darling?" Kol calls squeezing my hips a little to get my attention

"He was able to have a child with another person," I whisper

"Darling you'll get to have that child you want someday don't give up," he says flipping me around and kissing my forehead.

"Thanks Kol," I exhale

Turning off all the lights, I curl into bed and feel Kol wrap his arms around me. The lights of Paris filled the room, "I love you Gabrielle Salvatore," he whispers into my ear

"I love you as well Kol Mikaelson goodnight," I whisper feeling sleep over come me.
