Alaric Grimm

Part 3.


Nick opened the door of the trailer and turned the light on. He could feel his brother behind him and he suddenly remembered his own reaction to everything the first time he had entered this trailer, not so long ago.

"Well, here we are. Aunt Mary's trailer. It's small but full of wonders." Nick said.

"Wow, there's a lot of stuff in there... It all looks so...old." Alaric realised.

"You should see the weapons...some of them are antiques and very valuable according to Monroe but they are all still fully functioning. Every time I look at them I feel like a little boy in a candy store on Christmas. " Nick said as he opened two doors and showed him the weapons.

"Wow, their so cool! I look ridiculous with my wooden stakes and my vervain darts..." Alaric replied as he touched the weapons and looked them over.

"Well, it's yours too now." Nick told him with a clap on the shoulders.

The two brothers spent a couple of hours in the trailer, discussing the basis of the creatures they were born to fight.

"What do you say we go home and get something to drink? Everything will still be there tomorrow." Nick suggested.

"Good idea." Alaric nodded as they both went to the car. Alaric added "I might just come back tomorrow while you're at work..."

"Good idea. I'll try to get out early..." Nick replied.

Once they were back to the house, they opened a couple of beers and sat down. Nick opened an old photo album in front of them, thinking his big borther would like to see memories of the family he never got to meet.

"Here, it's our family photo album. I think there are a few pictures of you as a baby in there. I used to watch them as a little boy and pray that you'd come back and play with me." Nick said nostalgically.

They sat side by side and flipped through the pages. It started with a picture of their grandparents on their wedding.

"Well, there is no denying you're family... You could pass for grandpa's twin." Nick chuckled.

"It's freaky... It's hard to process that I have a family...I mean a real one, not foster parents." Alaric smiled as they turned a few more pages.

Their grandparents with toddlers, a Christmas picture, Aunt Mary standing next to the trailer, their parents at their wedding, their parents next to the trailer with Aunt Mary... A picture of their mother pregnant.

"Look at the date...It's you..." Nick said, pointing to his mother's pregnant belly.

"She was pretty..." Alaric said.

"Yeah, she's positively glowing." Nick nodded as they turned the page to be faced with a picture of their mother in an hospital bed with a baby in her arms. Under the picture was written "Baby Alaric. Happy birth day son".

"Wow..." Alaric didn't know what to say.

"I'll take it tomorrow and make a copy for you." Nick told him softly, putting the picture aside, along with the one of their pregnant mother.

"Thanks."

One the next page, there was a couple more pictures with baby Alaric and then an article cut from a newspaper talking about the kidnapping of baby Alaric Burkhardt. Then there was another article saying that the baby was presumed dead and that searches and investigations were stopped. It was now a cold case, people had given up, even the parents had resigned themselves.

After that, there was a Christmas picture of their parents looking rather grim (no pun) before the pictures with Nick started. They looked through all those pictures for a while until they were both too tired to do any more.

"Why don't we head to bed, everything will still be here in the morning." Nick said.

"True."

.

The next morning, after eating breakfast together, they exchanged phone number and agreed to meet for lunch the next day. Nick also gave Alaric a copy of the trailer's keys so he could spend the day there. They agreed on a place to meet before they both left and went to their cars. Since Alaric had a GPS, he would be able to find his way easily.

.

"Hey Nick, what's this?" His partner Hank asked him as he copied the pictures he had taken with him.

"You won't believe what happened to me last night! When I was a kid, my parents told me of my big brother, who was kidnapped when he was just a few weeks old and that was never found... Turns out he lived. He found me last night." Nick explained quickly.

"Are you sure it's really him? It could be someone trying to pass as him to get to you..." Sergeant Who suggested as he walked closer to the top two detectives of the place.

"No, I'm sure it's him. He has Aunt Mary's eyes and he looks like grandpa's twin." Nick explained.

"Well, why don't you take the afternoon off to catch up with your brother then Burkhardt?" Captain Renard suggested.

"Really, I can?"

"Of course, it's not everyday you find yourself a brand new brother and you've done plenty of overtime lately." He replied.

"Thanks Captain." Nick replied.

To be truthful Captain Renard was nervous.

A second Grimm in town? Of course he had heard of the baby Grimm being kidnapped and declared dead. Nobody really knew if he had been killed by the Wesen that took him or abandoned somewhere. He had even heard guesses that a powerful Wesen family had probably taken him in to raise him to protect them. Now that he was starting to doubt his family's goals, he decided to keep this news to himself and to let things unfold naturally. Maybe it was time for him to change sides all together... It's not like his family would go out of their way for him anyway...

.

Alaric was in the trailer with a maxi sized cup of coffee and he started going through the books. Unlike his brother, he had learnt German and Latin in college so he understood much more than him. At some point he found a book that spoke of the creatures he had fought. Luckily, it was in English even if a few passages were in ancient German.

Apparently, witches were Wesen.

He already knew that the witches had created vampires from Klaus's story but in the book he found the complete and detailed story.

What made them special was that Esther had been half witch (Wesen) and half royal. Alaric also learned in this book that Mickeal was totally royal and the real reason they left the old continent wasn't because of the plague but because the royals had killed their first born to break them up because they were mad at Mickeal leaving them for what they had called a 'half breed'. Marrying with a woman who was half Wesen and only half Royal had been a betrayal to them and they had sent out people to hunt them down. They had reached the "new world" only to find out Wesen lived there along with other hybrids... Witches had copulated with Blutbad and given birth to a new race, the werewolves who needed to kill someone in order to trigger their wolf sides.

It meant that the Original children were all part Royal and part Wesen on top of being the very first vampires of their race... Klaus wasn't the only hybrid apparently... his entire family was... On big messed up hybrid family...

On the same page, they said that Werewolf were once Wieder Blutbad that reproduced with witches... That made Klaus part royal, like the rest of his family, part witch (once again like his siblings), part werewolf (because of his biological father's side) and full vampire... If he thought he was dangerous before, now he knew just how truly dangerous he was.

Did they even know this about themselves? Alaric wondered...

Alaric grabbed a pen and quickly wrote an update on the original. Mainly he wrote the part about the curse and how it was broken. He never knew when someone might need those information later on. He also wrote the information he had about the daggers and the white oak ashes. His family hadn't written anything about this and he wanted to make sure they were prepared, let it be his descendents or Nick's.

.

Nick was about to leave to meet his brother for lunch when he got a call from his friend Monroe.

"Hey buddy, it's been a while so I was calling to see if everything was okay..." Monroe said.

Nick then proceeded in telling his best friend about his brother that had arrived the previous night, changing his life radically.

"Wow, that's something... Is he like the other Grimm's or is he more like you?" Monroe asked.

"Well, he has a vampire for a best friend so I guess he's like me." Nick replied with a chuckle.

"Cool... I'd like to meet him sometime."

"Yeah, I want to introduce you too... how about tomorrow I introduce the two of you? You could come home and have dinner with Juilet, Alaric and Rosalee..." Nick suggested.

"Great, I'll tell Rosalee right now!" Monroe replied.

"Okay, well, I'm about to meet him for lunch so I have to go."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Monroe said before he hung up.

.

Nick and Alaric met each other at the small dinner they had agreed on and spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other. At some point, they even went in the woods to train a little and compare their fighting skills. They both had a lot to learn from the other and used the opportunity to do it. When they were done teaching each other what they knew, they would both be much stronger...basically unstappable.

"This is what has been missing from my life the most... A big brother to wrestle with when I was a kid." Nick said.

"I know...or to talk about girls... I could have used you when Isobel decided she wanted to become a vampire and left me without an explanation or a goodbye." Alaric replied.

"Well, we're both here now aren't we."

That night, Juliette came back home and got to know Alaric too.

She was just happy to see Nick so happy and wanted Alaric to feel welcome. They had a happy joyful family dinner together and everyone had fun. If Juliette had doubts, they were all quickly erased when she realised just how similar Alaric and Nick really were.
