Chapter4_The Truth Comes Out

Klaus caught his little brother in the middle of the ball staring at the entrance and approached him and called his name. That was when he snapped out of his trance and looked at Klaus.

"Are you alright?" Klaus asked, curious to know what happened. Kol nodded and tried to change the subject: "Good, she is not the only one you are concerned about." Klaus asked confused: "What do you mean?"

Kol walked closer to him and said quietly: "I saw the way you were looking at her..." He walked past Klaus and left him feeling more confused than ever. He honestly didn't know how to feel about the situation or about her and Kol wasn't making it any easier for him.

He tried to shake it out of his mind but the thoughts were still there so he tried to distract himself the only way left. He grabbed a couple of drinks and started drinking on repeat. A hand was on his shoulder and he turned around to see Elijah smiling genuinely at him.

"Do you really want to be drunk tonight?" Elijah asked and Klaus snapped back: "What is tonight?" Elijah rolled his eyes and took the drink from his hand and put it on the nearest table.

Klaus let out tiredly: "Brother, do you really think I cannot get another drink?" Elijah whispered: "Not if you want to piss off our father again... You know how he feels about being drunk in public." Klaus chuckled bitterly: "He feels bad about everything I do, so why care at all?"

He left Elijah behind and went to find Angela and Rebekah at the kitchen but they weren't there. A servant informed him they were in his sister's chamber so he went there and stood behind the door. He didn't know why he came for them but he knew he didn't want to be at the ball anymore.

He knocked a couple of times and then the door got opened by Rebekah. He walked in without saying a word and saw her sitting on a chair, her back turned to him, drinking milk.

She turned her head around and saw him and he noticed a touch of surprise in her eyes. She stood up and let out a quiet 'My lord' after which Rebekah snorted. Angela chuckled at her and Klaus wondered when they had gotten so comfortable with each other.

Rebekah closed the door and let out playfully: "My lord? Are you serious? Call him by his name or insults!" Klaus raised his eyebrows and spat back with a chuckle: "I can teach her a few of your nicknames Bekah..."

She threw a nearby vase at him and he caught it in the middle of the air. Angela gasped with shock and then Klaus and Rebekah realized their mistake. She didn't know the truth about them yet and the plan was to tell her after the engagement.

Rebekah tried to distract her by asking Klaus: "So Angela was about to tell me about her childhood. Do you want to hear it?" He nodded and sat on a chair with Rebekah sitting next to him. Angela sat down in front of them and started: "I was born in a small village, nothing special to you but it meant the world to me. I guess it is because I have so many memories there."

She paused for a moment and then continued: "My father died when I was only three years old. I don't remember him but my mama told me he was a good man. He was a farmer but he had a lot of big ideas." Klaus shifted in his place uncomfortably, exchanging looks with Rebekah. They both knew they had to keep quiet.

If only she knew the truth...

"My mama raised me with honor, working all the time so we would not have to ask for help from anyone." Angela stopped talking all of a sudden. She was getting emotional; thinking about her mother, imagining her sitting alone in their small house, knitting scarves for town people. Was she thinking about her too?

Rebekah stepped in: "I know you miss her but do not worry. She will be here soon, before the wedding day." That made Angela smile happily and Klaus was mesmerized by the way her eyes started shining so much brighter.

He gulped and suddenly stood up making both girls stare at him. He said: "I think you should get back to the ball." Rebekah asked: "What about you?" Klaus let out before leaving: "I am not in the mood."

Rebekah and Angela looked at each other and got up, leaving for the ball together. When they arrived everybody was busy having a good time. No one had even noticed they were gone. Rebekah spotted a man giving her glances and she winked at Angela and left to talk to him.

Angela chuckled quietly and started walking around some more. She was approached by Esther after a couple of minutes who was asking about Klaus. She lied and said he had a headache and had to leave. Esther didn't seem to believe the excuse but didn't say anything else.

After Esther left, Angela brought her hand up to brush a stray of her hair out of her face that she noticed her own engagement ring. The diamond was shining so brightly and the ring was a perfect fit for her finger. Someone asked: "Enjoying your ring?"

She turned around and saw the one man she tried to avoid earlier in the night. Damon was wearing his famous smirk and before she could answer, he added: "My cousin is one lucky bastard."

She smiled but not so genuinely and tried to walk away slowly but Damon's hand grabbed her arm and made her stay. She tried to free her arm but he was way too strong for her to have a chance. She was too confused by his action to say something.

"Is there something wrong here?" Angela looked at the man coming in between. Damon let go of her arm and answered calmly: "Nothing that would concern you, Kol." Angela recognized Klaus's little brother, Kol, who was only a couple of years older than her.

Kol raised his eyebrows and asked with a deadly smile: "Is that so? Damon, would you be a good mate and leave me and my future sister-in-law alone? I need to have a word with her." Damon and Kol started staring at each other until Damon backed away without saying a word.

Angela sighed and thanked Kol: "Thank you, my lord." Kol grinned and said: "Call me Kol." Angela smiled and took his offered arm and let him led her to the dance floor. She didn't feel nervous or awkward around him and dancing with him turned out to be so much fun.

He was dancing in a funny way, trying to make her laugh and it worked. He would spin her around clumsily and then catch her and then spin her again. After ten minutes, Angela was out of breath and they went to get a drink. They spotted Rebekah clinging to the man she left Angela to flirt with. Kol snorted and said: "My sister, ladies and gentlemen!"

Angela couldn't stop her laughter and Kol followed after her. She noticed people were paying attention to them and probably wondering why she was with the wrong brother. Kol noticed that too and whispered: "Go to mother, excuse yourself and then I sneak out and we go to Nik's chamber to mess with him."

Angela's eyes widened and asked: "What are you saying?" Kol asked: "Do you want to have some fun or you rather stay at this boring ball?" Angela didn't really have an answer and Kol answered for her: "I thought so. Now go."

She finally left with a little push from Kol and found Esther talking to a bunch of women. She coughed and asked: "Can I talk to you for a moment?" She smiled and excused herself from the crowd and they went to a corner to talk.

Angela faked: "I am so sorry but I am feeling tired. It is probably from all the dancing and the proposal. I think I need to rest. May I be excused?" Esther said with a worried smile: "Yes dear. You need to rest. Go."

Angela quietly thanked her and bowed and headed for the doors while looking at Kol and giving him a smirk. He smirked back and put his drink on the table next to him; ready to follow her after a couple of minutes.

Angela thought excitedly: "This will be fun."

Kol and Angela were quietly laughing; making their way to Klaus's chamber. They finally reached it and Kol put his hand on the doorknob to open the door that Angela stopped him: "Should we knock first?" Kol chuckled and answered: "He is my brother and I never knock." With that, he opened the door and led Angela in first, only to hear her gasp in shock.

Angela gasped as she saw her fiancé with his mouth on a woman's neck, apparently sucking the blood out of her body. She was frozen and couldn't even blink as she saw his fangs separating from her skin.

He saw her.

His eyes were red with dark veins running underneath them. His look was cold, almost like he didn't know her. Drops of blood were falling down from the corner of his mouth; making him look demonic to her.

Kol didn't know what to do. He was the reason behind her knowing sooner that she was supposed to and he would certainly be punished for it so he tried to make things better by stepping in.

He turned Angela around and looked her in the eyes but she didn't show any kind of reaction. She was frozen just like a statue. He was about to compel her that Klaus dropped the woman in his arms on the ground and yelled: "Don't."

Kol turned around and yelled: "Father would kill us Nik and you know it." Klaus marched to them and pointed to the door and said: "Get out Kol, I will make this right." Kol seemed to hesitate but Klaus gave him a look that made him get out as soon as possible.

Klaus wiped the blood on his face with his handkerchief and closed his eyes to concentrate. She was clearly in shock and he could simply compel her to forget but he didn't want to. Compelling her the first time didn't feel good and he was sure doing it again wouldn't make him feel any better.

He put his hand on her shoulder in a gentle way but the touch itself made her snap out of her trance and jump backwards. Klaus sighed and approached her but she started running to the door. Klaus knew he had to flash in front of her and he did.

Angela saw him appear in front of her and screamed at the top of her lungs. Klaus put his hand on her mouth and tried to keep her quiet but she kept pushing him back. Her eyes were filled with fear and disgust and Klaus tried so hard not to look into them.

She started mumbling but Klaus didn't understand so he carefully took his hand off her mouth and she asked: "What are you?" Klaus answered: "I am a vampire…"

She let out a quiet 'what' and stepped back in shock. She had heard some nighttime stories about demons that drink human blood; vampires who had no mercy when it came to killing innocent people. She remembered how afraid she was, listening to those stories but secretly comforting herself by thinking vampires didn't exist and the whole point of them in the stories were to scare children to behave.

Klaus recognized her confusion and started explaining: "My whole family are vampires. We've been living on this earth for a very long time." Angela couldn't hold herself up anymore so she sat on one of the chairs and held her head between her hands.

She looked at Klaus and asked: "But how?" Klaus ran his hand through his hair and Angela was terrified that she found him attractive then. She couldn't believe she felt an attraction to a demon…

"I had a little brother named Henrik. He was killed by a werewolf and…" Angela stopped him: "A werewolf? Those are real too?" Klaus almost found it funny, her asking with her eyes wide open but he didn't laugh.

He simply nodded and continued: "My parents were scared something similar would happen to the rest of us. They found a spell that would make us immortal. That is how the first line of vampires was created."

Angela asked horrified: "So are you saying that…you are the first vampires ever?" Klaus nodded and added: "Yes, we are the original family of vampires." Angela stood up and let out angrily: "And when were you planning on telling me this? Were you just looking for some new prey?"

Klaus snapped back: "We were supposed to tell you after the engagement tomorrow, if you had not barged in here with Kol… What the hell were you thinking coming here with Kol?" Angela didn't answer; she simply went for the door but Klaus blocked her way.

She yelled: "I want to go to my chamber. Please step out of the way." Klaus stepped closer to her and looked her in the eyes, she gulped as he ordered: "You are not going anywhere…"

Angela had enough. She was not some little girl. If he thought he could just yell and have his way, he was mistaken. She pushed him and Klaus actually stumbled back a little because he was surprised by her actions; he didn't see it coming.

He could see pure rage and determination in her eyes and he was speechless. Before she could leave he stopped her again and this time he didn't yell: "I am not done yet. We need to talk."

Angela raised her eyebrows and snapped: "Really? About what? Maybe about how you would want my blood, huh? Right from the source or in a golden cup?" Klaus chuckled and answered: "From the source, it is tastier." But then he realized he just made the matters worse.

Angela struggled to get out but she didn't succeed as Klaus had a strong grip on her arm. She gave up finally and said: "Alright. Let's have that talk."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She entered with her mask still on and gave her father a shy smile. He asked: "How did the ball go?" She took off her mask and threw it on the ground and answered: "Good. He is hooked." Her father gave her a look of approval but she didn't find it satisfying.

She sat next to him and let out: "I still do not know why it was necessary to play with his mind." His father gave her a look and she added: "Not that I did not enjoy it…"

He got up and brought two glasses of wine for them and explained: "He would be a great help to us. You see, he is impulsive and crazy and we could use that in our advantage."

She nodded in understanding and accepted the glass of wine from her father. He held his own up and said: "To victory." She repeated after him: "To victory." They clicked their glasses together and drank in peace.

"Victory awaits us, my sweet Rose…"
