Chapter 1: Back Home

I sat in my car staring at The Salvatore Boarding House, it was about Noon and I knew that Stefan was at school and Damon was at the bar so I decided to go the old cemetery I drove as far as I could and then ran the rest of the way I found the Salvatore plot and found my headstone "Beloved sister, friend, and pain in my ass". I laughed knowing the last part was my favorite brother Damon's fault I sat down at Damon's and smiled taking the bourbon out of my bag a drank from the bottle "You know I came back to talk to you and only you but I thought Stefan would get a little pity party, he was always the one that freaked out when he didn't see me you on the other hand always knew where I was that's why you were my favorite always protecting me but not being overpowering, dangerous, never listening to authority. Dami I miss you and if I didn't have to be gone I would've came to you not so happy about Stefan but hey he's blood". I said taking another drink I heard approach and froze the newest Doppelganger stood right before me her brown eyes filled with tears telling me she heard what I said "Why do you hate Stefan so much?" She asked me sitting down next to me "I don't hate him but when I was seven I fell off my horse a snake scared him and he flung me off but Stefan didn't believe that it was accident he thought the horse was bad and taught unwell or maybe he was getting to old so he took the horse off into the stables and he shot it the horse was the only thing I had left of my mom after she died Stefan took everything I had of her and sold it he didn't really like mother like me and Damon I blame him for Mother becoming ill". I said shrugging Elena sighed and stood up holding her hand out for me to follow "I will take you and see Damon only then I will talk to Stefan about why he never mentioned you and then why he was such a jerk".

We then got in her car and drove to the Mystic Grill I was nervous but as we drove I talked with Elena and found out she's nothing like Katherine she cares for the people she loves when Klaus came for the sacrifice she gave herself to him and didn't allow him to kill her family and friends the things she told me about what Klaus did shocked me but I knew he does what he thinks is right for him and the people he loves I know why he wanted the curse broken it was because he wanted it to go and kill Mikael to bring me back home, after we talked I took off my wig and contacts reviling black hair and blue gray eyes Elena looked at me funny and I laughed "Everyone in the family but Stefan has Black hair and blue eyes I always joked with Damon that maybe he adopted but I don't know". We arrived at the grill and I waived Elena off I wanted this to be just him and me I wanted to see what he had become if he was worse or better of course I don't care he is my brother and I loved him.

I sat down on the right of him and order bourbon on the rocks with a lime on the side, Damon froze and slowly turned around "Oh my god I thought you died for sure where were you?" He asked me downing his drink, I smiled happy that he didn't fall off the wagon completely, "Oh you know here, there mostly Forks, Washington met a family of Cold Ones, the single one fell for me thought I was human got a paper cut in front of his physchiotic brother then he left me in the woods and I came here". I told him leaving out Klaus, the compulsion, or anything that I knew would upset him he nodded "Who changed you? Was it Katherine?" He said with anger, "Well….not exactly". Right as I said that I heard the voice I've been missing for so long spoke behind Damon "Damon, where is that brother of yours? I want my coffins back, he can't hide forever you know". Damon was about to speak when I turned around "Spirit….I was going to look for you after I awoke my siblings I heard you were in Forks?" I nodded still speechless finally able to speak I said "Nik I have been so worried when the compulsion wore off I wasn't sure if it was because you were dead or because Mikael was finally gone". I stood up and wrapped him in my arms hugging him closely he hugged me back both of us crying tears of joy Damon's clearing his throat made me remember he didn't know what was going on I laughed nervously "Damon this is my fiancé Niklaus and um he is the one who changed me and we ran away together to England where his Father hunted him down and he compelled me to run away until he was dead and so here I am". I told Damon his eyes were wide his face was red then he relaxed. "You take care of my sister or I will rip you to shreds hybrid or not". Klaus nodded slowly and then I turned back to Damon "What is it with you and Doppelgangers by the love of God first Katherine and then you must not have learned you lesson so then you find Elena she looks just like her! I almost killed her because I thought she was Katherine and then she tells me you love her and she loves you and Stefan did you not learn your lesson the first time I swear you bring it on yourself I learned so much today she says you let her date Stefan I don't know what you're thinking the girl admitted she felt something for you so go after her". I said with a shrug and getting on my tippy toes to kiss Klaus on the cheek just then Elena and Stefan walked in and I froze "Spirit why are you kissing Klaus what do I not know?" Klaus turned and told him and Elena our story Stefan accepted it with just a shrug and walked to the bar but Elena turned on me her eyes angry "You stick by him without even yelling at him after all I've told you about who he is and what he's done to this town my family!" Damon was trying to calm her down knowing how much my temper can explode "You do not know anything I was getting to talking to him but I was speaking with my brother about his love for Doppelgangers Klaus wanted to break his curse so he could go and kill Mikael so we could be together just because no one loves you like he loves me doesn't mean that you can be so judgy once you stop acting so much like Katherine and choose who you love and don't worry about losing the other then come talk to me about life choices". I yelled at her then turned to Klaus "I get it ok you need the doppelganger to break the curse but what you don't need is freaking hybrids everywhere when your Father is dead and the threat is gone I am here know so get them out of town and Stefan you need to give him his family back now except that locked one we need to bury that one at sea because I know who is in there and I know she is not nice so do as I say". When Stefan hesitated I growled at him "Snap to it!"

Back at the Boarding House Klaus and I were eating and laughing just catching up we were now sitting on the couch me with my legs in his lap and him massaging my legs it was relaxed and comfortable just like I wanted it to be "Did you ever think we would be like this again?" I asked him, he thought about it and said "After I compelled you to flee I fought my Father he told me that after he killed me he was coming after you and would make sure that you suffered so when I got the chance I snapped his neck after that I went back on my search for Katerina to get my mind off things I became the monster I once was I knew the news of the things I did would get to you and I thought for sure that you wouldn't want to be with me even if Mikael was dead, I helped your brother be the ripper time and time again and I thought you would hate me so no I never thought we would be like this". He said thoughtfully I looked down of course I knew everything he did I had eyes and ears all over Klaus and my brothers twenty-four seven, "I did know what you did but I knew for every bad thing there was an explanation for it and I knew you heard about a village full of people that just died out of no where and I knew you knew I had my humanity off my brother is not the ripper I am sure my brother was an evil guy around 1920 but I also know that he felt remorse the closest I ever got to you was in Chicago I went to Stefan's apartment and saw the list of names on the paneling then I heard you guys come back from the bar and ran out I knew for every bad thing you or your sister ever did was to bring down Mikael every time Mikael found you it was me that lead him there hoping you would kill him so I could return". I said with shame on my face he put his finger under my chin and tilted my head up "We all did things we regret without each other which is why we will never leave each other again". He said and I nodded we kissed and the kiss was everything I missed it was heated passionate and said "I miss you" and "I want you" all in one, when we broke apart we were both breathing heavily. Suddenly the door swung open and 12 pairs of gold eyes were staring at me and Klaus I stood up and looked at Klaus who was walking closer to me. Great!
