Chapter 1 of this lovely new story I've decided to start. I hope you all like it. Review it, favorite it, whatever. -* This will be in general pov until I see somebody specifically needs to have their own pov.
Then :
" What's the matter Klaus, missing something?" Stefan said in a calm and taunting voice over the phone. Behind him and around him, sit four Caskets.
" I will kill you and everyone you've ever met." Klaus growled in anger after finding his family missing.
" You do that and you will never see your family again." Stefan told him
Now :
Bonnie lay asleep dreaming of walking towards the Old Witch house. She walked inside following the low mummers of voices that carried through of their spirits. Down the stairs she went following the voices and she spotted them.
Four Coffins, three beside each other and one behind them. She walks up and between two, to the one single handedly placed out of formation, almost as if it were special. She opened it finding the body of Klaus laying peacefully, with his hands on his chest like every other person is positioned while being buried and laid to rest. In his hands a necklace, she recognized as the necklace Elena use to wear. She went to take it but a sound came from behind her, a creak of the floor. She turned quickly and saw a dark figure coming towards her making her gasp in fright.
Bonnie gasped as she jolted awake in fear. She's been having these dreams for weeks and she still can't decided what to make of them, but whatever it means or could mean, scares her.
- ELENA RUNNING -
Elena had been running since early morning, building up her strength and speed. She also did it because it cleared her head and let her focus on other things that aren't Stefan related, or Klaus related.
She also ran because it chased away whatever fear she had at the moment, it let her think clearer, and when a fear would pop into her mind she would push her legs to go harder, faster. It made her feel the burn in her legs, a different pain than the pain she was feeling in her heart.
She ran because even thought she wasn't leaving Mystic Falls, not that she ever really could. She ran because it gave her freedom to run from everything, with out actually doing so, without being a coward.
She stopped running when she made it to her usual spot she stopped at to run back home. Clicking her watch timer she smiled slightly, happy to have reached it just a little bit quicker than last time. She turned back around to jog home, when she saw a man in a hood running towards her.
Her gut told her he wasn't somebody she wanted near her, so she turned around and started running again. She ran faster than she was before she stopped and waited a few seconds before turning her head sideways and seeing if he was still behind her. Once she saw that he was, she turned her head straight with her heart panicking and started to run faster.
This went on for a few moments before she took a short cut hopping she was just over reacting, and ran till she made it to a tree. She turned around fastly and she was alone. Sighing with relief feeling silly for being so paranoid, she shook her head and turned around to take the short cut home. Only to be scared once again when she came across the same man standing in front of her.
He took his hood off and then took his earphones out of his ears and gave her a sheepish smile.
" Excuse me. I should have watched where I was going." He said panting from the running he was doing, and gave her a kind smile.
Elena looked at him and didn't return the smile. Something about the man gave her a weird feeling.
" Don't worry about it." She told him
He smiled once more and gave her a short nod.
" Have a nice day." He said before replacing his ear-buds in his ears and ran the direction she just came in.
Elena watched him run away, her heart racing and her breathing labored.
- LATER AT THE GRILL -
Elena sat with Bonnie at a small round table drinking coffee.
" I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm totally paranoid all the time." Elena told Bonnie looking off the side
Bonnie leaned her upper body on the table, resting her arms in front of her holding her up. She gave her friend a small smile and her eyes held understanding.
" You have a right to be. Klaus is still out there, and you tried to kill him." Bonnie said softly to her long time friend.
" Why hasn't he made a move?" Elena asked in a quiet frantic voice, " There's been no sign of him! Nothing." She sighed and tucked her hair behind her ears on both sides taking a deep breath. " My mind is just spiraling into insanity." She said
" Join the club." Bonnie told her. " Every time I close my eyes, I have that nightmare. On repeat." She said quietly
" The same one?" Elena asked
" Yeah. Four coffins, Klaus is in one of them. It's weird." Bonnie says her voice showing her confusion.
Elena leaned forward on the table, much like Bonnie.
" What if its not some dream? What if its, like, you know witch dream?" Elena questioned
Bonnie looked away for a second and then looked back to Elena shaking her head.
" It's just stress, I'll figure it out." She said shaking her head once more. " What about Stefan? Has there been any sign of him?" Bonnie asked
" He betrayed us Bonnie." Elena said her voice sounding as if she were about to cry, but she didn't. " The Stefan we know is gone." She said her voice almost emotionless this time.
Bonnie frowned and looked worried for her friend. She know how much Elena loved Stefan, and had fought trying to get him to go back to how he use to be. Before Klaus entered their lives, before he compelled Stefan to turn off his emotions and be his little puppet.
" How's Damon handling that?" Bonnie asked
She honestly wondered how he was doing, she didn't want to have to hurt Elena for having to kill Damon. His handling things usually resulted in him killing people, leaving bodies of people in a trail. Their families worried. She didn't want that to happen, she thought he was doing better about himself, she didn't want him to backtrack.
" Damon is, Damon." Elena said before she took a sip of coffee from her coffee cup.
- AT THE BAR AREA -
Alaric and Damon were together at the bar. Alaric sitting down grading papers waiting for Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's brother, to come into work.
Damon stood a few feet away from him with various drinks in front of him. He had been drinking since the Grill Opened.
" Okay you have your choice." Damon said as he poured something to a glass. " Bloody Mary, Screwdriver, or brunch in a bottle." He finished off listing the things he put together and swallowed a shot and drank it down from a large serving container of orange juice.
He sighed out and turned towards Alaric leaning against the bar.
" Come on Ric, I cant drink all of this by myself. I mean I can, but someone is getting naked." He said in a saucy voice.
The bartender behind the bar paused as he said that and looked at him with a smiled.
" Awe man, I cant believe your making me drink alone." Damon said whining pathetically to Alaric. He poured another shot into the glass he just drank out of. " It's the Eve of Klaus-agiton and what are you doing? Homework?" Damon asked
Alaric turned towards Damon and leaned on his left elbow. He looked annoyed and slightly pissed off, but not at Damon. Damon was just annoying him, he was pissed about other things.
" This may come as a shock to you. But I didn't come here to hang out with you Damon. I'm here to see Jeremy," Alaric said then looked straight ahead of him at the clock behind the bar they were sitting at. " who is an hour late, for his shift." Alaric finished and looked back down at the papers he had with him.
" Kids today, where are their values." Damon said nostalgically with sarcasm leaking from his lips.
Alaric looked over at Damon with a serious expression on his face, and set down a paper in between them. It was Jeremy's from his American History 201 class, with a red ' F ' marked on it.
" It's his mid-term paper. He copied it straight off the internet and didn't try to hide the fact." Alaric said with disappointment leaking from his tone.
" Ooh, somebody's getting grounded." Damon taunted finding the situation hilarious.
" Did you say Jeremy? As in Jeremy Gilbert?" The bartender from earlier asked them
" Yeah." Alaric muttered looking up at her
" He was fired a week ago." She informed them.
She walked off and Damon leaned over slightly and whispered a small oops before drinking more. Alaric didn't find the situation funny at all. He turned around in his seat and looked across the Grill at Elena. He knew he was going to have to tell her, and once he did she was going to be angry and upset.
- THE WOODS -
Jeremy Gilbert and Tyler Lockwood were together in the woods, getting drunk from beer. Not only that but they had one of Alaric's vampire hunting tools, a crossbow, with them shooting the cans.
Jeremy lined the crossbow up, and peeked through the target sight, aiming then shooting taking a can of beer down.
"Nice shot." Tyler told Jeremy as he opened another can of beer to drink.
" Hey, so whats the point of this again?" Jeremy asked
" The point, is I'm pissed at Caroline, and Bonnie dumped your ass." Tyler answered Jeremy causing him to let out a breathy humorless chuckle at Tyler as Tyler picked up the can Jeremy just shot. " The point is to get drunk and shoot stuff." Tyler finished giving Jeremy a pointed look.
" Profound." Jeremy said in a monotone voice bending down to set the crossbow up to be ready to fire again. " If Alaric finds out I took this, he'll use it on me." Jeremy said pulling the wire back setting it back so when he pulled the trigger the bow would go flying.
" So whats the deal with that?" Tyler asked, " He's like what, your guardian now?" He finished
" Sort of yeah. I think he feels responsible for us." Jeremy said getting a bow out.
" Do you like him?" Tyler questioned
Jeremy looked up at Tyler giving him a look and nodded his head.
" Yeah, yeah I like him." He told Tyler.
Tyler didn't say anything after that he just nodded and stood in front of him a few feet away, in the middle of Jeremy and the target can.
" You wanna move out of the way?" Jeremy asked lifting his arms up, getting his aim in position.
Tyler looked at Jeremy then at the can and tried to smoother his laughter down.
" I'm a hybrid Gilbert." Tyler said with a smug tone in his voice. " You cant kill me unless you cut off my head or rip out my heart." He said all arrogant like. " And your not gonna do that with that lame ass crossbow." He stated with a smile then looked determined. " Go ahead, take a shot." He told Jeremy as he dropped his now empty can of beer to the ground. " Unless you don't think you can hit me." Tyler taunted as he moved into position.
Jeremy gave Tyler a curious look and smirked. He aimed again and fired the shot.
The arrow was released and with force it went towards Tyler. Right before it could hit him he moved slightly to the side and caught it with his hand. Jeremy gave him a look showing he was impressed, and Tyler looked slightly shocked that Jeremy actually didn't it.
- THE GRILL -
Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert were still at the Mystic Grill. They had nothing better to do, and after Elena found out about her little brother getting fired and failing his mid-term in History, she was furious and concerned. She knew he had been having a hard time ever since the death of their parents, and the loss of two of his girlfriends dying, and then the break up from Bonnie. He figured he'd finally hit teenage rock bottom and was blowing his chance at becoming somebody. It saddened her and angered her all together. She knew he could do better than what he was doing.
" Jeremy the minute you get this, you call me." Elena said as she paced behind Damon who had been playing Darts. " Unbelievable." She said after she hung up her phone
Damon took a shot aiming his dart at the dartboard and it landed in the center. He turned around and gave her a look of amusement.
" Your feisty when your made." He teased
" It's not that I'm mad, its that I'm worried." She murmured.
" Why? Because he lost his job at the Grill? I think he will survive Elena." He told her
" He's spiraling. Ever since Bonnie broke up with him, he's moody, and he hasn't been taking to anyone." She told Damon with a look of hurt on her face
" He's being a typical teenager." Damon commented with a shrug of his shoulders
" Who's seen ghosts and lost everyone he cares about." She told Damon as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Damon turned his attention back to the dart board.
" Not everyone." He told her, then took his shot " He still has you." He explained farther all the while missing his intended target.
Elena studied him as he went to retrieve his darts from the board and looked softly at him.
" Are you okay?' She asked as he turned around to face her.
" What makes you think I'm not okay?" He asked her with a confused look on his face which turned emotionless
" Well, your day drunk, its exactly your most attractive look." She told him
" What is my most attractive look?" Damon asked her walking into her personal space.
" I'm not saying you have any attractive looks, I'm saying this is my least favorite one." She told him
" Well good, I'll see if I can make any improvements." He said giving her a smirk
" Don't mind me." A voice from behind them said
Elena turned around quickly, her heart beat picking up rapidly at the voice that's caused her paranoia. Damon made a move to stand half way in front of her.
" Klaus." She said her voice giving away her fear.
There he stood, smirk on his slightly pouty lips, eyes showing his amusement at how scared she was, and how Damon reacted. His smirk went up into a smile.
" Your gonna do this in the Grill?" Damon asked with attitude, " In front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?" Damon asked again with irritation and a hint of taunting in his voice.
" I don't know what your talking about." Klaus said walking farther in towards them. " I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with a mate, and my sister." He said and behind him reveled two people.
Elena guessed the mate he was referring to was the man, which made her heart pick up even faster. The man that she had been running from hours earlier.
The girl was another story, however, neither Damon nor Elena ever seen before but she looked to have some similar features of Klaus.
She was a few inches shorter than him maybe the same height as Rebekah, long dark hair that hung down her body, her eyes were cold and held distaste which were a shockingly strange light purple color. Her lips were more pouty than Klaus' and wre glossed over with a light pink color, turned slightly upward in a smirk that didn't match her cold expressional eyes.
Elena thought she was the most beautiful girl or woman she had ever seen. She could be a model. Rebekah had been pretty, but this girl had beauty that surpassed that, even with her cold face.
Damon's eyes darted back and forth between the two, and he could see that they were indeed siblings but twins? That shocked him. He didn't know of any other sister Klaus had, he remembered the cave walls, her name was never etched into it, and if it was they never caught sight of it. He too had the same thoughts as Elena, she was beautiful, extremely so, and he could sense unlike Elena, the danger she embedded within herself. But twin? Meaning another powerful hybrid?
He internally groaned.
" Get a round in won't you, Tony?" Klaus said over his shoulder at the man who again had Elena's attention.
She knew she was paranoid for a reason, she was glad she ran from him and didn't trust him earlier. Something was off about him, and she finally figured out why.
Tony nodded and left the girl and Klaus there in front of Elena and Damon, a smile playing at his lips.
Klaus turned back around catching Elena having recognition on her face and smiled showing his top from white teeth. He could almost burst out laughing at the situation.
" Surprised you stuck around town long enough for happy hour." Damon said with angry eyes.
The girl, Klaus' sister walked closer standing next to her brother, with a scowl on her beautiful face.
" Our sister seems to be missing." She said her voice a slight soprano which held anger and annoyance. " He needs to sort that out." She said looking at Damon
She assessed Damon when she walked into the Grill. She admitted he was attractive. His slightly tanned complexion that held a small amount of paleness in his skin complimented his dark hair and bright light blue eyes. His attraction towards the girl, the Doppelganger turned her off though. She couldn't see the appeal he had on the girl. She seen the same face a few times in her life, and the last time she encountered it, she tore it off the shoulders it sat on, followed by the heart in the body in which it sat.
She had the same feelings for this one just as she did Katerina and the one before her. And those feelings weren't pleasant.
" Blonde bombshell, psycho? Shouldn't be to hard to find." Damon told her with a smirk.
Her eyes flashed dangerously much like her brothers and she took step towards him and return Klaus stepped beside her grabbing her arm softly.
" Truth is, I've grown rather found of your town. And I think Isa might fancy decorating a home here." Klaus said letting go of is sister and taking the darts out of Damon's hands and walked passed him to stand a few feet away from the dart board.
As he got passed Elena she moved slightly away from him, her heart hammering in her chest. She made sure she moved so she could see both the girl, Isa, and Klaus at the same time. Her self preservation was starting to pick up and the look she had seen Damon received scared her.
" I imagine their wondering how does it effect them?" Isa said in an amused tone taking a dart from Klaus.
" None in the slightest, as long as I get what I want. And everyone behaves themselves, you go on living your everyday lives, however you choose." He said looking back at Damon and Elena. " You'll have my word." He said in a calming almost soothing voice.
Isa kept her giggle in at the doppelganger's reaction. Her heart beat ever more faster now, and her breathing picked up as well. She was enjoying having the girl get that reaction, it amused her so.
" What could you possibly want?" Elena asked
Isa found her voice annoying and wanted to shut her up as soon as she uttered a word. But she held her annoyance back and just continued to roll the dark between her fingers as if it were a pencil. She didn't miss the way Damon looked at her as she done so, he looked slightly alarmed and impressed.
" For starters, you could tell me where I might find Stefan." Klaus said now in front of Elena pointing the dart at her.
Damon noticed this action and stepped closer, causing Isa to step next to her brother protectively as Damon was Elena.
" Stefan skipped town the second he saved your ass." Damon told Klaus, his eyes again darting between Isa and Klaus.
He could already see the protective nature they both had for each other. When Klaus moved, Isa moved, when Isa moved Klaus moved. Always beside each other or slightly in front of the other.
" Well, you see, that is such a shame." Isa said forcefully and threw her dart behind her not even watching where it landed, which was the center of the dart board
" He stole from me, from us." Klaus said turning around looking at the dart board and threw his dart next to his sisters, it landing with a thud making both darts vibrate with it's force. He turned back around with a scowl on his face, " I need him found so I can take back what's mine." He told them
Elena found some newfound bravery " That sounds like a Klaus and Stefan problem." Elena said
Isa stepped closer to Elena, half a foot in front of her, causing Damon to step slightly in front of her. Causing Isa to Smile up at him showing her perfect white teeth, in which Damon could see how sharp they were.
Isa leaned getting closer to Elena's face despite Damon standing shortly between them and smiled a not so nice smile.
" Well this is my brother broadening the scope, sweetheart." She sneered causing Elena to step back.
Isa and Klaus gave them both a smile, their smiles were similar, holding promise and mischief in their eyes.
- OLD WITCH HOUSE -
Bonnie decided to visit the place that had been sending her into haunting dreams. She wanted to go there and try to figure out what it all meant.
She walked slowly into the house, the witches spirits could be heard and she went to the basement. Like her dream she looked around but didn't find the coffins. Yet the spirits were talking, but she couldn't understand them correctly.
She looked confused at the same where the coffins had been in her dream, but where their in person. Not that she could see yet at least.
" Hello Bonnie." A voice said behind her and she turned around looking nervous and a bit afraid.
" Stefan." She said as he came out of the shadows he had been hiding in down there. " You followed me here?" She asked in accusation.
" Yeah, it wasn't too hard." He said putting his hands in his leather jacket pockets. " You should probably be more careful." He told her
" What do you want with me?" She asked him.
" Relax, I just need your help." He told her coming to stand in front of her but giving her, her space.
" Why would I help you? Elena said you saved Klaus' life." Bonnie exclaimed
" Let me fill you in on a little secret. Klaus, he kept his family with him at all times, daggered and stored in coffins. Now, I have them." Stefan told Bonnie and her eyes went wide in recognition of her dreams she's been having. " And I need you to help keep them hidden." He finished off
Her mouth opened and her eyes got wider.
" Are you out of your mind, your just going to make him angrier." She told him in surprise and fright.
" His family is his one weakness, as long as I have that. It will ruin him." Stefan said in a serious voice looking Bonnie in the eye, letting her get the message across.
" I don't have that kind of power or enough power to hide four originals." Bonnie argued earnestly
" You're a witch, you hate Klaus, I'm know you can figure something out." Stefan told her
Bonnie sighed and looked over her shoulder turning around to look at the Coffins. She had to admit, Stefan was right. She did hate Klaus, and she did want to help keep the coffins hidden. She only prayed that she could figure a way to help him, because the more help he had, she figured the better the chances of him defeating him were.
- ELENA & JEREMY GILBERT'S HOME -
Elena and Alaric were at home getting dinner ready and finished. Alaric more importantly cooking and Elena setting the table for him, her and Jeremy.
" So are you ready?" Alaric asked as he chopped away on the cutting board.
Elena set the places and sarcastically said.
" Vampires, Hybrids, and Originals…no problem." Causing Alaric to look up from what he was doing, and give her his attention. " My rebellious brother, I'm worried." She finished as she sighed out looking down at the table.
" Proof your still human." Alaric said pointing at her.
The heard the front door open up and they looked up and saw Jeremy walking through the door.
" Just in time." Elena said with false cheeriness. " Where cooking." She told Jeremy as he came into the kitchen
" Sorry, just passing through." Jeremy said giving his sister a glance over his shoulder
" Oh, I thought we'd all stay in. Have a meal like a … A typical family." Alaric said causing Elena too nod her head quickly in agreement and Jeremy to give him a confused look as he looked into the fridge.
" Why?" Jeremy asked
" Maybe because you got fired and you didn't tell anyone." Elena said looking at her brother giving him a motherly look.
Jeremy paused in surprise and then rolled his eyes setting his weight on one leg.
" Look can we do this later?" He asked with attitude. " I made plans with Tyler, he's right outside." Jeremy explained
Alaric and Elena shot each other looks of surprise and worry. Tyler had been sired by Klaus, meaning his life really isn't his own. At least not that Tyler really knew of. Not to mention Tyler was now a hybrid, his loyalty was something they knew they didn't have.
" Wow, wait. When did you start hanging out with Tyler Lockwood?" Alaric asked
" I don't know, does it matter?" Jeremy asked Alaric
" Yeah it matters. He was sired by Klaus." Elena said in a hard whispered voice. " He's dangerous." She said giving Jeremy a pointed look
" He can still hear you, he's right outside." Jeremy chuckled " Besides you of all people are going to lecture me on who I can and can not hang out with?" He asked her getting pissed off because she was starting her bossy shit, like she knew everything and what was best for everybody.
" What is with the attitude?" She replied getting annoyed at him
" Whatever this is lame, Tyler is waiting." Jeremy said walking away from her.
Elena wasn't having that, she walked till she was in front of him, blocking his way to leave.
" Oh no, no. Your not going anywhere, especially not with Tyler." Elena told him
He gave her a 'really' look, and then looked over his shoulder at Alaric hoping to get some sort of assistance out of him.
" I'm with her on this, Jer. Sorry." Alaric gave him not looking sorry in not even a little bit.
" Alright. You want me to stay in, lets all stay in then. Yo, Tyler come on in!" Jeremy shouted inviting Tyler into their home.
Panicked Elena shouted Jeremy's name right before Tyler came into the door.
Elena looked at Tyler then back at Jeremy who had a smug expression on his face. Happy that he didn't let his sister push him around and try to control him.
- DAMON AND STEFAN SALVATORE'S HOME -
Damon arrived home not long after his and Elena's encounter with Klaus and his supposed twin sister Isa. He wasn't sure if Isa was her full name or if it was something cut short, like a nickname of some sort.
Either way he couldn't believe that Klaus was back, bringing along a surprise sibling looking for his brother who supposedly stole something from him, all the while looking for Rebekah whom at this very second was laying on the dirt floor of the his homes basement cellar with a dagger in her back. Yeah, this wasn't going to be good.
He needed to find Stefan, figure out what he took, and find a way for him to just end all this madness. He was growing tired of fighting battles that could end his dead living life, he enjoyed being alive, if that's what he was.
Damon stood in front of his bar getting ready to pour himself a drink when felt a presence behind him. Pausing his hands he turned around looking at the very person he was just thinking about.
Klaus.
Klaus walked into the room or stepped in rather, with a smile on his face. Damon wasn't surprised, he figured he'd get a visit from him sometime. The smile wasn't anything surprising either, the hybrid always carried himself with a large amount of arrogance that Damon held as well.
What actually surprised him was the fact that Klaus seemed to be alone, not with his sister. Damon was sure that Klaus would have his 'twin' attached to his side at all times.
" I think it's about time we had a drink, don't you?" Klaus said smiling at Damon.
" I'd say we were over do." Damon flashed him a smirk and quickly let it fall off his face as fast as it came.
" We'll I'd say you were busy. What? With all your plotting and scheming." Klaus said giving a sarcastic grin
" You know me, never miss a chance to plan an epic failure." Damon said sarcastically and took a drink from his glass full of whiskey.
" Oh don't be so hard on yourself." Klaus said walking down the small platform in the room and walked over to Damon. " Who would have guessed your own brother would have betrayed you?" He asked
" We'll I did have a front row seat when your sister lied to you." Damon shot back with a smirk on his face.
Klaus' face went emotional, aware of that little fact. His little sister Rebekah lying about their father being dead, luring him back to Mystic Falls, to his very own death.
" Yeah, well, she's fickle that one." Klaus said in a monotone voice looking Damon in the eye, " And you say you have no idea of her whereabouts?" Klaus questioned Damon.
" That's the thing with younger siblings. You just don't know what their gonna do." Damon said with humor and down the rest of his drink. " Drink?" He questioned turning his back on Klaus.
As Damon turned his back, Klaus' smile faded and he scowled. He knew Damon was lying, by the way he looked away and tried to put humor into the situation. He knew Damon Salvatore enough to know when he was lying, hell, he knew people enough to know when they were lying. Being alive for over a thousand years taught him a thing or two about body language of humans and Vampires alike.
Isa's going to go on a murderous rampage if we don't find Rebekah soon…
Klaus thought to himself with a sigh.
- ELENA AND JEREMY GILBERT'S HOME -
After Jeremy so carelessly invited Tyler Lockwood into their home. Tyler sat at their table where Jeremy told him to sit, with a class of ice water. Elena stood in front of him, her body rigid and focused completely on every move he made. She didn't trust him at all, and the thought of one of Klaus' hybrid creations being in her home so soon after seeing him again, made her feel sick.
" This is weird. Klaus has hybrid's stalking me and now your just sitting in our kitchen." Elena said standing with her arms crossed and her body slightly hunched in a sloppy slouched manner.
" Look maybe I should go." Tyler said knowing he wasn't welcome truly into the house, at least not by Elena.
" No, stay. Your not doing anything." Jeremy told Tyler while looking at Elena.
" Unless you have to, ya know, check in with your hybrid master." Elena told him with attitude not feeling so scared anymore.
Tyler chuckled and looked up at her from here he sat at the kitchen table.
" It's not like that Elena." Tyler said his voice leaking amusement towards her.
" Tell me Tyler. What is the difference between being sired and being compelled?" Alaric asked as he too sat down at the table to join the conversation.
" Compulsion, that's just mind control. Like hypnosis. Being sired, is like faith. You do something because you believe it's the right thing." Tyler explained to them as best as he could as easily as he could so they would understand.
" So, you believe that serving Klaus is the right thing?" Elena asked him
" I don't serve him." Tyler said looking at her with pinched eye brows while shaking his head in a negative way. " Klaus released me from a curse that was ruining my life, I owe him for that." Tyler said his voice serious
" Well what if, he asked you to jump off a bridge?" Alaric asked
" He wouldn't." Tyler said defending Klaus. " And even if he did, I'd be fine, I'm a hybrid." Tyler gave excuse
" Okay so what if he asked you to rip your own heart out?" Elena questioned going straight for the kill, so to speak.
Tyler fought to say he would do it but managed to say , again that Klaus would never ask him to do that to himself.
" What if he did?" Elena questioned not letting up on the question, knowing the real answer he fought to give.
" I don't know, then I'd rip out my heart!" He shouted loudly
Elena flinched in his abruptness and Jeremy looked at him like he lost his mind, and Alaric gave Elena a quick glance.
" You guys sound like Caroline!" Tyler said throwing his hands in the air, as if he was in defeat. " Getting freaked out in something, you all don't understand." He finished.
" Your right Tyler I don't understand." Elena practically spat out at Tyler. " Klaus has terrorized every single one of us and your just blindly loyal to him." She finished in a softer voice
" Your over thinking it, I can still make my own decisions." Tyler told her while looking into her eyes.
Alaric and her thought they knew better, or they did know better, at least about this. They knew Tyler's life was no longer really Tyler's life, Klaus held whatever fate there was for the newly made hybrid, in his hands. Tyler didn't have a real choice on anything that he did, or thought he could do.
They could tell that at least, and know they were right.
- DAMON AND STEFAN SALVATORE'S HOME -
Damon poured himself and Klaus a glass each full of whiskey. Handing the glass over to Klaus with a sigh.
Klaus took his drink with a smirk and raised his glass to Damon.
" Cheers mate." Klaus said with a smirk
" Down the hatch!" Damon replied in agreement and they both took a drink of their whiskey, or in Damon's case, the whole thing was downed in one gulp.
" You know we've both actually got a lot in common, you and I." Klaus said to Damon
" Really?" Damon asked in a doubtful voice, giving him a look that said ' no the fuck we don't ' he poured himself another drink " Well yeah, maybe we can bond over our mutual loathing for my brother. Why are you so mad at him? He stole something?" Damon suggested and asked.
" My family." Klaus said " The Originals" He said being more specific. " I had them daggered, boxed up, awaiting the day that I saw fit to wake them and he went in and pinched the bloody lock." Klaus said in a gravel like voice and took a drink to calm his nerves before he got angry again.
" Of course he did, such a buzz kill, my baby bro." Damon said in mock disappointment. " Well I'd love to find him, just the trouble is. I sure as hell don't work for you." Damon told Klaus pointly letting Klaus know that he wasn't and wouldn't work for him.
Klaus turned around amused at Damon's outburst and clearly knew that he would say that or something along those lines.
" You know your drink stinks of vervain, so I can't compel you. There would be no point killing you because you're the only one with the most hope of getting me back what I need. And yet, it would seem a demonstration is in order." Klaus said ticking off reasons of why he couldn't really control Damon specifically.
Damon looked at him with a nervous look on is face, then smirked silently calling Klaus' bluff even though he knew he shouldn't risk that.
" Perhaps I wasn't clear enough when I told you to find Stefan. Ah, well. It seems you people respond best to displays of violence." Klaus said while putting his glass in his other hand and reaching into his pocket pulling out his phone. " Why don't you take this as an example of a message." He said dialing a number.
Klaus brought the phone to his ear and smiled when he got an answer.
" There he is, so that thing I told you to do, why don't you go ahead and get on with it." Klaus said looking at Damon with a smile on his face.
He hung up once he was finished and looked towards Damon who he was sure heard who the voice on the other line was. Either way, Damon would soon learn that Klaus was serious.
"Where is the other sister?" Damon asked " The twin."
Klaus chuckled his eyes going brighter than Damon ever saw them.
" She's out having fun of course. She's a bit more of hands on kind of girl. Piss her off and well, lets just say that she's worse than I am. After all, twins share alikeness." Klaus said passively. Damon looked at him as if not understanding causing to Klaus to chuckle again. " Lets jut say my sister is even more so lethal, venomous if you will. Anger her, piss her off, or cross her, if she sees fit, one bite and you'll be begging to have never been born. Protective that one is, especially with Bekah, she misses her." Klaus said cheerfully.
Damon smiled and nodding as if he understood, trying to hid his nerves. Klaus sat his drink down and put his phone in his pocket.
" Thanks for the drink mate, I'm sure we'll see each other real soon." Then he was out of the door.
- ELENA AND JEREMY GILBERT'S HOME -
Jeremy got off the phone and went to sit back down at the table they were all sitting at. Tyler checked his watch saying he should get going and thanked Alaric for the food offering and said maybe next time. Once the front door was shut Elena locked it walking back into the kitchen.
" So Tyler Lockwood is a lunatic who has access to our house." She told Alaric but loud enough for her brother to hear her.
" I mean this whole sire bond thing, is wild. I don't think Tyler is fully aware of what little reason lays behind what he's saying. It's almost like weird Cult logic." Alaric said
" Well, great. That's a wonderful influence for you Jer-" Elena stopped when she turned around and Jeremy was gone. " Jeremy?" She said a little louder.
The saw his ring sitting on his empty plate, that no food had even touched yet due to their conversation with Tyler not that long ago. Food seemed to exit their minds at that point.
" That's his ring." Alaric said pointing out the obvious.
" Where did he go?" Elena questioned
They walked to the door and walked out side seeing Jeremy standing in the middle of the street.
" What is he doing?" Elena asked loudly to her self
As soon as the words came out of her mouth a black SUV came swerving around the corner and headed straight for Jeremy at an alarmingly face speed.
" Oh my god." She muttered
" JEREMY!" Alaric yelled and sprinted to Jeremy knocking him out of the way just in time for himself to hit by the car and not Jeremy.
Elena ran to Alaric after she got out of her frozen shock at what just happened and looked up to see her brother back to sense. Then heard the SUV pull up towards her.
The driver side window was rolled down and the man or hybrid from the morning and the Grill was behind the wheel, then the window from the back seat rolled down as well, revealing Isa, Klaus' sister.
" There I go again, bumping into the people." The hybrid sneered and Isa smiled widely at Elena and winked all the while giving her a small wave with her fingers. Then the SUV drove off.
" Are you alright." Jeremy asked
" He's going to be alright." Elena said ignoring the question.
" Who was that on the phone earlier?" She asked her brother
" Klaus." Jeremy said his face turning to confusion. " I don't understand." He said this time his eyes pinching even more closely together.
" You were compelled Jeremy, we have to get him inside, HELP ME!" She told him urgently.
- KLAUS AND ISA MIKAELSON'S HOME -
Klaus and one of his hybrids had been walking around the newly bought mansion Klaus bought, but picked out by his sister. She had specific instructions on what she wanted the house to look like, and the reconstruction to be done. He was going to make sure that it was done exactly how she liked it. No matter the cost, money didn't matter to him, but Isa's happiness did.
" Compel a man to open up this wall, Isa wants a fortress, not a dungeon." He told his female hybrid, one that he was closest too, not to mention he too had the gift of siring her as well.
Tyler then walked into the room looking around slowly.
" There he is, the man of the hour." Klaus said making his arms go wide in acceptance and welcome.
" So everything went well then?" Tyler asked
" Tony ran down Alaric instead of Jeremy, but apples, oranges. Message lands still the same." Klaus said with no care in the world.
" You said you were sending them a warning." Tyler said
" And he did, an effective one." Isa said from behind Tyler causing him to jump and turn to the side so he wasn't sandwiched between the two twin hybrids.
Tyler was attracted to Isa, but she scared the shit out of him at the same time. For some strange reason, she scared him more than Klaus, even with how innocent she seemed to look with out the cold scowl on her face.
" Elena's family suffers and she's motivated to get me what I want." Klaus finished for his sister.
" I didn't think we would actually have to kill anyone." Tyler rebutted his part in what played out.
Klaus sighed trying to keep his patience and wits about him.
" Tyler, mate, what your feeling is a guilty conscious. And I'm gonna need for you to get over it okay?" Klaus asked in a soft annoyed voice. " At the end of the day, human life is just a means to an end. A means to our end." He mused to Tyler " You'll do well to remember that." Klaus said to Tyler in a suggestive way.
Klaus smiled at him, winked at his sister, and then walked off. Tyler stood where he was then turned towards Isa.
" Don't feel guilty, it wasn't like you really did anything wrong." She whispered in his ear causing him to shiver.
She walked in front of him with a smile on her face and rubbed her hands against his chest over his shirt and leaned on her tip toes and gave him a nice little peck on his bottom lip and nibbled it. Tyler groaned and his eyes closed allowing the kiss to happen, only for him to deepen it.
He knew he loved Caroline, but whenever Isa was around, he couldn't seem to have any real thoughts at all, no other thoughts other than the woman nibbling and kissing his lips.
Isa on the other hand, loved nobody. She lived long enough to know that getting attached to a person, human or not wasn't smart. People die all the time, and getting attached gave you weakness and a weakness is something she didn't like to have. She enjoyed the game, being chased and taking advantage of what she wanted. She knew Tyler Lockwood loved somebody. But wasn't with the little vampire girl, so she did as she pleased, with whoever she wanted.
Isa pulled away after Tyler's warm hands went up the back of her shirt. She got him wired up, wanting more, like she always did.
" Maybe I'll come by later tonight, if you're a good boy." She smirked pecking his lips one more time giggling before leaving him standing there alone.
- ELENA AND JEREMY GILBERT'S HOME -
Elena and Jeremy finally got Alaric inside the house and once they settled him on the couch, Elena made a call to Damon to come over.
" How is he?" Damon asked as he came into the door.
" He's dead but he had his ring." Elena told him as she sat perched on the coffee table in front of Alaric's body. " Klaus' hybrid was driving the car that hit him, his sister in the back seat, now we just wait." She said explaining to Damon whom was involved.
" Jeremy why aren't you wearing vervain? Where is your bracelet?" Damon asked him
Jeremy looked down at his wrist and noticed his bracelet Stefan had given him was no longer on his left wrist anymore.
" I don't know." He said in a confused voice.
" It was Tyler." Elena said looking at him, " It had to have been, that's why he was hanging out with you." Elena told him, hoping for him to see reason. " To get you off the vervain." She finished.
" Klaus is trying to send us a message. He wants us to find Stefan who stole his coffins full of his dead family members." Damon told both of them
" Coffins?" Elena asked
" Yeah four of them. We just have to find four coffins and wah-la nobody else on your family Christmas list has to die." Damon said happily
" Wait that's your big plan, to steal back four dead Original's so this evil Hybrid doesn't kill me or anybody else we know?" Jeremy said getting up from his spot on the ground in raged
" You got a better idea?" Damon asked him
" Yeah! Lets get the hell out of here and pack our bags and lets go." He said
" Okay, Jeremy calm down." Elena said in a soothing voice, or what she thought was a soothing voice.
" No, no, I'm not going to calm down! Elena, this happens every time no matter what we do. I mean you get on my case about school and work. Who cares? None of us are going to make it out of this town alive." Jeremy told them and picked up his jacket and left the house.
" He said he wants his family back." Elena said
Damon turned around to look at her with his eyes wide.
" No! No. I know what your thinking and the answer is no!" Damon told her
" If we give him Rebekah.." She says to him
" Yeah and when Klaus or Isa un-daggers her, the first thing she's gonna do is come kill you! Frying pan, fire, not an option!" Damon tells Elena
Elena is quiet thinking to herself and then she remembers Bonnie's dream.
" Klaus' coffins… how many did you say there were?" Elena asks
" Four?" Damon tells her but it comes out as a question as he gives her a questioning look.
Elena gets her phone and right away she calls Bonnie.
Bonnie picks up the phone.
" Elena, hey." Bonnie greets Elena as she picks up.
" Klaus is looking for four coffins, just like in your dream." Elena tells her as she walks outside and down her porch steps. " It's not just stress."
" Elena don't get involved!" Bonnie tells her with a serious yet grave voice. " Whatever Klaus wants stay as far away from it as you can." She warns her.
" Klaus wont let me, Bonnie. He tried to kill Jeremy." Elena tells her in a pleading whisper.
Bonnie sighs.
" What do you want me to do?" Bonnie asks
" We need to find Stefan. I know you think your locator spell doesn't work but we have to at least try." Elena says
" You don't need a locator spell." Bonnie tells Elena
Bonnie gives up the location of where Stefan is and they hang up the phone. Elena goes inside and tells Damon, but only that they have to go together.
- OLD WITCH HOUSE -
" I thought Bonnie said this place lost all of it's mojo." Damon commented as they walked to the house
" The dead witches were mad at her for bringing Jeremy back to life. I guess now they have something they want her to know." Elena guessed
" That's why I hate witches. Their always so fickle, passive aggressive." Damon stated as they reached the door.
" Stefan!" Elena calls out when they walk through the door.
" Come on Stef, Oley, Oley oxen free!" Damon jokes out and then flinches from his skin being burnt by the ray of light burning his skin in the witch house.
He groans in pain and pushes himself in a corner that is shaded but surrounded by spelled light by the witches in the house, that died of course.
" Really? Still." He asks the house, or spirits rather.
" What?" Elena asks him
" The witches spirits still aren't a big fan." Damon tells her then looks up at the ceiling " And they use their juju to screw with my daylight ring." He says to them
" Well then wait outside." She tells him
" Elena!" He starts to teller her off.
" I'm not leaving till I know if he's here." She says walking off leaving Damon stuck in his little nook of a corner he hid in.
Damon takes a determined breath and pushes himself to run as fast as he can out of the house. He shakes off the burn as he reaches the grass in the front of the house.
Elena on the other hand walks around the house till she found the basement door and goes on down.
Once down in the basement she walks farther and stops in the empty room, or the room she thinks is empty.
" Stefan." She calls out.
Stefan walks from out of the shadow behind her.
" Go away." Stefan tells Elena and she turns around to look at him.
Shocked for seeing him for the first time since they tried to kill Klaus. She doesn't know what she feels, she feels happy, sad, and betrayed all at the same time, and she still feels that love she's always had for him. The love that wont go away, and it hurts her.
" You shouldn't be here Elena." He tells her
" Stefan I need your help. Bonnie said you would be here." She tells Stefan quickly
" Well Bonnie sucks at keeping secrets." He says walking into the room.
" Listen, you need to give Klaus his family back." Elena tries to tell him
" Really? Is that what I need to do?" Stefan asks her with his arms crossed over his middle, glaring at her slightly for what she said.
" Klaus compelled Jeremy to stand in front of a speeding car. Don't you get it, he's not going to stop until he gets what he wants." Elena said starting to ramble off in a panic.
" Elena, stop talking." He tells her and she gives him a look full of hurt. " I'm not giving Klaus anything."
" Are you listening to me? He's going to kill Jeremy!" She tells him
Stefan looks at her, his face as emotionless as he can make it.
" Not really my problem." He tells her easily.
Elena looks at him for a moment before slapping him as hard as she can causing his face to turn to the side by the force of it.
" Then you can go to hell." She tells him her voice full of anger and she takes off.
Elena walks up the stairs and stomps through the house from her anger and walks out of it just as harshly.
" That didn't go well." Damon says from his spot near a tree.
" Don't start Damon." Elena tells him or shouts at him rather.
" I'll go talk to him." He says before walking towards the house.
" You cant Damon! The witches wont let you!" She shouts again.
He grab her by the arm and presses his keys into her hands.
" Here take my car, you go deal with your brother, while I go deal with mine." He tells her softly and walks back to the door.
Elena watches him at the door then turns around and walks towards the where the car is in the distance.
Damon takes a breath and glares before running as fast as he can vampire speed through the house. He gets far but the burning hurts so he pushes himself into some shadow and takes a breather, he takes off running again till he's in front of the door and screams from the pain. He then takes a breath and runs quickly down the stairs until he falls or more like dives to the ground to get out of the sunlight.
" Wow." Stefan says mockingly as if he was impressed. " That was impressive, but the coffins aren't here, so you can go away now." Stefan tells him and gives him a smile
" I don't care about the coffins." Damon groans from the ground and slowly makes his way to stand up. " We need to talk." Damon rasps out
He gets up and he's hit with a painful burn on his head from it leaning in the sunlight.
" Okay." Stefan says " Let's talk." He says sitting down in his little chair.
" Nothing is ever easy with you is it?" Damon asks and Stefan raises an eye brow to taunt him.
Damon rushes at Stefan and pushes him vampire speed up the stairs and slams him against a wall in the spelled sunlight coming into the house, Damon's skin burns but Stefan's doesn't. Damon takes hold of Stefan's leather jacket and rushes them outside throws him on the ground. He grabs a tree branch from a near tree and stabs Stefan in the stomach.
" That is for screwing with my plan in killing Klaus, and for stealing those coffins. WHY did you do that?" He bellows out and shoves the branch in harder " ANSWER ME." He shouts even more.
" Piece by piece Klaus took everything from me. I'm doing the same to him." Stefan struggles to get the words out.
" But I had him Stefan!" Damon yells out the question while twisting the tree branch " Why'd you screw it up?" He asks
" I did it to save you." Stefan growls out and shoves Damon away
" What?" Damon asks as Stefan takes the branch out and sits up. " No, no way. You didn't do this for me!" Damon argued not believing his brother.
" He was one step ahead of us, if Klaus died his hybrids would have killed you." Stefan tells him
" When are you going to get it through your head?" Damon asks picking up the branch and shoving it back into Stefan's stomach. " Stop saving me." He growls out
Damon got up and left his brother sitting there to pull the branch out again. He didn't plan on leaving until he had answers from Stefan but he needed to walk away from killing his brother.
Killing Stefan for stopping his plan, like an idiot, and for saving him like an idiot. If Stefan would have just stuck to the plan he would be free, and Klaus would be dead. He wouldn't be wondering around annoying and terrorizing and killing anybody anymore. Regardless if Damon would be dead.
But Damon at the same time understood his brother. Because he knew if the rolls were reversed then he would stop Klaus from being killed to save his brother as well. Stefan might not know that, but he would, Damon would save his brother.
Then there were the coffins stuffed with Originals. Stefan took them for revenge and now it's backfiring on other people. Jeremy almost got killed today because Stefan took Klaus' family, and now Klaus is coming after Elena and her family to get them back. Damon knew that Klaus would stop at nothing to get what he wants, and even more, his twin Isa was with him. He wasn't sure what she was capable of, and as sexy as she was, he wasn't about to really want to find out.
He needed answers from Stefan so he walked back to the Witch House, even if it was dark. He was going to get his answers.
" You know what I can't figure out? Is why save me? Was it brotherly love? Guilty conscious, is the switch on, is the switch off?" Damon asked walking towards Stefan who was lounging against the house.
" Don't you have somewhere you need to be Damon?" Stefan asked him ignoring the questions he was asked
" Oh reflection. It's not going to work on me, I invented it." Damon sneered out
" Where done, cant you just go away?" Stefan asked
" Then tell me why you saved me, you owe me that." Damon commented showing he clearly wasn't leaving anytime soon.
" I don't owe you anything." Stefan told his brother
" Fine, next question. Why'd you steal the coffins?" Damon asked with a scowl on his face
" Because Klaus' family is his one weakness I can use against him." Stefan said with a smirk.
" Use against him to do what? Your not going to kill him, you wanna know how I know? Because there's only one way to kill him and you blew that to save me." Damon argued
" Your wrong Damon, Klaus doesn't get to just live forever. There's another way." Stefan mock whispered " There has to be." He said with determination
" Fair enough, but whatever your doing I want in." Damon stated
" I don't need your help." Stefan said before he turned and walked away from Damon
" Really because last time I checked, Klaus has a twin sister, who's here with him. Not in a coffin." Damon told his brother, and Stefan paused mid-step and froze where he was. " Not to mention your hiding out in a haunted house!" Damon exclaimed
" I'm in this alone, Damon." Stefan questioned as he turned around to face his brother.
" Really because if your going after Klaus and he's got his sister on his side, his twin hybrid sister! Your going to have to be cutthroat and devious and I'm so much better at it then you." Damon smirked at his brother. " Come on brother, what do you say? If your going to keep saving my life at least make it for a good reason." Damon said trying to bargain his way into Stefan's plans
" You want in huh?" Stefan asked and Damon nodded, " Then it's just me and you, Elena stays out of it." Stefan says looking his brother in his eyes.
" Deal!" Damon says seriously looking Stefan in the eyes.
" Follow me." Stefan says walking back towards the house.
" Wait, I'm not so welcome in there." Damon says staying rooted in his spot.
He didn't want to go back in there, he didn't know what the sprits would do to him in the dark, since he already knew what they could do to him in the day time.
" Oh don't worry Damon, we all want the same thing." Stefan tells him not bothering to turn around and look at his brother.
Damon sighs and slightly groans to himself. He wasn't sure about going into the house, in his eyes the house was a major bitch. He walked in the house after Stefan anyways. He figured if the house attached him he could just stake Stefan in the stomach again, win-win.
They walked through the house, Damon more careful than Stefan. Stefan kept his back to his brother so he couldn't see how amused he was at Damon being afraid, he'd remember that information for later. Once they got down in the basement Stefan gestures towards the empty space in the room.
" Have a look." He commands Damon
Damon looks and rolls his eyes and looks at his brother.
" What? Klaus is allergic to dust?" Damon asks Stefan
" Look again." Stefan chuckles
Damon looks again and his eyes widen in surprise. The once empty space is now filled with the four Coffins.
" Witch spirits hate Klaus just as much as we do. Their using their powers to hide the coffins." Stefan tells Damon.
" So even if he comes in the house.." Damon trails off.
" He wont be ale to find them." Stefan finishes for him
Stefan turns to look at his brother and smirks seeing the impressed look on Damon's face. Damon looks at his brother showing him he's impressed. Damon didn't think Stefan had it in him, and he had to admit, it was pretty clever, nothing he would have ever thought of.
He wouldn't admit that out loud though.
- DAMON AND STEFAN SALVATORE'S HOME -
Elena was at the Salvatore Boarding House alone. She was going behind Damon's back by arranging a visit with Klaus, but it was worth it. She was going to do whatever she could to bargain her brother off his chopping block, to keep him alive. And she knew Damon would be upset, but her brother was worth it, keeping him safe was worth it.
Klaus knocked on the door and Elena opened it up.
" Thank you for coming." She said in a small voice
Klaus walked in and turned around towards her, she still hadn't shut the door yet.
" I trust you have news of Stefan?" He questioned her
Her heartbeat picked up and she stiffened slightly.
" I couldn't find him, but I have something else." She exhaled releasing some of the tention in her body.
Klaus figured he knew what she was talking about, or who she was talking about.
" Follow me." Elena said shutting the door.
She slowly walked pasted him and quickly walked to the basement door. He followed her as they went down stairs and she opened a door, the cellar door.
Klaus stopped in the entry way and Elena walked into the room fully giving him space. She didn't know how he would react.
Klaus looked down with a sad look on his face. She was laying down on the ground face first with a red dress on that looked new, but was collecting a thin layer of dust that only he could see with his eyes. What bothered him most, was the dagger in her back, obviously taken by surprise. He knew he had daggered her several times through out their long lives, but never in the back.
" My poor sister." He said still looking at her. " I cant turn my back onher for a moment.." He trailed off before being interrupted by Elena.
" You have Rebekah." She waved her hand looking up at him and he looking up at her " A deal is a deal." she told him
He walked into the room and got closer to her.
" A life for a life, the life of your brother exchanged for my sister. Yeah, I know that's a bargain. Consider him spared." He told her
" You should know, I was the one that daggered her." Elena told him honestly. " When she wakes, she'll come after me." She told him.
He held the anger from his face, and didn't let it show. Isa was going to be not so pleased at this information.
" I can control Rebekah." He told her and crouched down beside his sister. " Besides I still need your help finding Stefan." Klaus smirked up at her
" I told you I don't know where he is." Elena told Klaus
Klaus looked down at his sister and slowly took the dagger out of her back.
" Your lying." He could hear it, the lie in not only her voice but from her body. " fortunately, you have no shortage of loved ones. If I don't find my family, the question you should be asking yourself is who's going to die next? Bonnie? Caroline?" He asked her then looked up from his position and smiled at her. " Damon?" He said lastly then stood up " It's only a matter of time before Stefan gives me what I want." He tells her, threatening her.
" He doesn't care about me anymore." Elena told him her eyes glassy while shaking her head. " You made sure of that, you turned him into monster." She said giving a breathy laugh. " Now he's your problem" she tells him. " And just so you know. I'm not the only one Rebekah wants dead. She knows what you did to your mother, she knows that you killed her." Elena told him and walked passed him pausing at the door, " You can let yourself out." And with that she walked away from him.
" Elena." Klaus calls out to her and he smirks at her the dagger he pulled from Rebekah still in his hands when she walks back to the door. " I said I could control Rebekah." He points to his sister on the floor and then looks back up at Elena. " I never said I could control Isa, once she finds out who daggered Bekah, in the back no less, well lets just say Rebekah isn't going to be the only person who wants you dead." He tells her and bends down to carry his sister's body passed Elena who's still stuck standing at the door.
- KLAUS AND ISA MIKEALSON'S HOME -
Klaus made it back home in time before Isa was due back. She had been out shopping and doing her own thing since thing since the Lockwood boy had been by.
Little did he know that his sister was already a step ahead of everyone else. She knew about the exchange, what exchange, she wanst sure but she knew there was going to be one. She figured the Doppleganger would have a trick up her sleave to get her brother out of town. But in order to do that, he would need to be compelled by Damon since he was off the vervain.
Isa was going to compel Jeremy Gilbert to stay. Her compulsion was much stronger than the Salvatore's and her compulsion would over rule his and pretty much be defective. But, nobody knew she had that little plan.
Klaus on the other hand carried his sister Rebekah into their new home and laid her on a table talking to her, telling her welcome home. He commented how it only took a thousand years, and that he wished she would have at least been there aware for it. But Klaus knew that he couldn't keep his sister un-daggered yet. He couldn't not with Rebekah being a risk of telling Isa. He needed to do that on his own, before anything else could happen.
He softly brushed his hand down her cheek and told his sister that he loved her and placed the dagger back in her heart, but through her chest, not the way Elena Gilbert did it.
He had one of his Hybrids bring her coffin and he placed her inside just right, then closed it and told the female hybrid to take her to Rebekah's room.
Klaus sat quietly waiting for Isa to get home. He knew he needed to tell her tonight, and just be done with it. It was best to just be straight forward with her, or else. She was a fear of his, at least since their change into vampires. His twin, his other half of his soul. He couldn't or wouldn't last if she walked out on him. He loved her.
Once she arrived he was already at the front door waiting for her when her car was turned off, and Tony the ever so dutiful hybrid opened her car door. Klaus dismissed him and quietly helped his sister with the numerous shopping bags she had returned with.
He noticed she had bought clothes for Rebekah as well and his throat went dry and he became nervous. He felt like a small child all over again, waiting for rejection and hurt. Klaus followed Isa into Rebekah's room and she stood puased in the middle of the room looking at the coffin laying on top of the large bed made up for her.
" Why is she in her coffin?" Isa asked looking at the coffin. " Niklaus, why is Bekah in a coffin and not in her bed?" She asked while looking at him this time.
He sat the bags down and looked at her.
" I re-daggered her after takin git out tonight." He told her
" Why would you do that, she is our sister, I wish for her to be here with us." Isa said with a confused look on her face.
" When I went to speak with Elena Gilbert, she told me she had been the one to dagger Bekah. She also told me that once Bekah woke she would want to kill me." Klaus told Isa.
Isa stood looking at him with an understanding yet pissed off expression.
" She found out you were the one who killed mother." Isa sighed out
His eyes went wide, that were already glossy with tears. He stood there waiting, and wondering. Waiting for her to lash out and wondering how she knew.
" You can't keep a thing from me brother, you never have been able to not even when we were children. I saw you do it, and I didn't say anything because I felt she deserved that pain from all the pain she never stopped Mikeal from giving you." She told him softly. " Though I'm annoyed it took you so long to try to tell me about it, you should have told me right away. Bekah will be mad at you, but you're her brother, she shall forgive eventually." Isa told him
She walked over to the coffin and opened it up. She fixed her hand over her sister's face and traced all her facial features. Despite the gray skin and the veins, Isa found her sister still beautiful. Her baby sister.
" And why is the dagger wound you put in, fresh and only one? I thought you said she was daggered already before you took it out and put it back in." Isa questioned
" About that…" Klaus muttered causing Isa to turn around with an eye brow raised and her foot started to tap showing her patience was wearing thin. " It seems Elena daggered our dear Rebekah in the back. Literally." He told his sister.
He watched as Isa's annoyed face changed to one of disgust and outrage. She slowly turned around kissed her sisters forehead and closed the coffin. He watched as she silently went about placing clothes in the right places and he was worried and became relaxed.
When Isa was silent, it meant plotting. But when she was silent, over Rebekah it meant she was sad and one thing she didn't show was weakness.
- ELENA AND JEREMY GILBERT'S HOME -
Elena stood outside with Damon, wondering why his compulsion wasn't working. Jeremy wasn't wearing vervain anymore they just didn't understand. It made Jeremy angry at them, at Elena the most because she was repeating herself, repeating her actions.
Elena was beside herself, upset and crying because her brother hated her all over again when she was doing what was best for him. Keeping him safe, and now there was no way he would be safe since he was staying in Mystic Falls.
" Stefan didn't betray us. I mean he did screw up the plan, but not for the reasons we thought." Damon said trying to get her mind off her brother.
" What? What do you mean?" She asked him
" He did it to save me. If Klaus was to die, his hybrid minions were ordered to kill me." He sighed out. " And just when I thought I wouldn't have to feel guilty." Damon hissed out to himself but Elena heard him anyways.
" Feel guilty about what?" Elena asked
" For wanting what I want." He told her standing in front of her.
" Damon…" Elena sighed out shaking her head slightly
He sighed and stepped back.
" I know, brothers girl and all." He muttered softly with a smirk
He started to walk down the little side walk that ran through her yard from her stairs off her porch to the sidewalk leading to the street. He paused and decided to hell with it and walked back kissing her, only to have her kiss him back slightly.
Neither of them noticing the person close by watching.
A/N
So this is the first chapter of this story based off the episode - THE NEW DEAL -
I changed some things of course, it wouldn't be my story if I didn't.
Some of you probably wont like this, but I honestly want my story to go my way. I can only hope that you like it regardless of how I make things turn out or change. But I wont change my idea's for anybody who doesn't like things.
The only thing I'm willing to take advice about is who she should be with, if she will end up with anybody at all.
- some say Damon because there are too many Stefan and Bella stories, but when I go to look, all the BELLA/STEFAN character pairings is them being siblings, not a couple. There are more Damon/Bella stories than anything, and I'm not angry or annoyed at that, my other story is a Damon and Bella story and I love Ian Somerhalder, he's hot and I love his character.
I thought maybe a Tyler/Bella coupling because then it would keep him in Mystic Falls, and annoy Caroline, I still don't like her very much - and as a spoiler for my story, she will never have Klaus' [ honest ] attention.
Then I thought maybe Stefan/Bella. I figured Stefan deserves a good woman who would treat him right, and that he needed to get over Elena. I can see him with this Bella. Not to mention after the whole kiss thing and whatever that could do it. Or maybe he really did stop caring about Elena, seeing how being with her causes chaos. I don't know, yet. I can still see Stefan end up with feisty Bella. Specially if she wants to hurt Elena after she finds out what happened with Elena daggering Rebekah in the back.
I DON'T KNOW. I still want to decide who I'll pair Rebekah with… I sort of want her with somebody… she deserves a love too even if she annoys me with the little duck faces she makes in the show - ugh lmao.
- Let me know what you all think after reading the reasons behind why I decided between the three men ; Damon, Stefan, or Tyler.- or maybe somebody else? Matt? Jeremy? Alaric? lmao
It would be nice to have some support with this different Bella. She's much different than the Bella in my other story, she's on a whole other side or is she?
Also thank you for reading & please review to let me know how you feel and lend me some feed back, plz.
