Sorry for my long absence, my computer was attacked by a Trojan horse. It deleted every file I had in that computer and it took me weeks to restore them all.
In this chapter Calla and Klaus will finally meet and it will bring some flashback. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

Chapter four
You have to concentrate. Just listen to my voice and nothing else." Calla encouraged Bonnie.
"It is exactly what I was doing five minutes ago and it didn't work."Bonnie whispered. She had been practicing magic for two hours and she was exhausted. Calla could be a tyrant when she wanted to but Bonnie began to trust her. She was the first supernatural creature who didn't come in Mystic Falls to harm her friends. It wasn't friendship that was between them but it wasn't far from it.
"Oh! Stop whining. We just began."
"WHAT? We just began? We've been doing this again and again for two hours and a half now. Do I have to remind you that unlike you I'm human" the witch exclaimed before sighing "And I'm tired."
"Ok. Ok. We'll stop for today but you have to manage to control your magic to do the spell I have in mind. If you don't practice it will consume you and my plan won't work." Calla said closing the grimoire and looking at Bonnie who was glaring at her "I told you I won't help you to kill Klaus. If he dies, my friends die with him."
"After everything that happened to you because your so-called friends were in this town. Furthermore, you hate vampires and those people are vampires."
"Those people as you call them are still my friends, no matter what happened. You're a vampire too; won't Klaus' death affect you?" Bonnie asked her suspicious.
"What makes you think that I'm from Niklaus' bloodline?" The eight hundred years old vampire-witch retorted placing her right hand on her hip and throwing daggers at Bonnie with her eyes.
"Well… Before I told you about them you didn't know any other member of the original family except Klaus. And you seem to hold a really strong grudge on him." Bonnie answered with a smirk.
Calla was uneasy; she was avoiding Bonnie's eyes. She liked the witch but she didn't trust her enough to tell her about her past with Niklaus. She didn't want Bonnie to continue with her question so she decided to change the topic.
"Didn't Damon ask you to meet him and the others somewhere?"
Bonnie wasn't fooled; she knew Calla was avoiding anything that involved talking about her past. Every time Bonnie asked her reason for hating Klaus that much; Calla avoided her question, changed the topic or left the room pretending to have forgotten something 'really important' in her bedroom. She found it suspicious but she played along.
"Yeah… Klaus is back in town to help them to prepare something to stop… Silas…Well you and Elena told him about you and he wants you to come and help us."
"I can't go…" Calla began but she was cut by Bonnie who stood up and gathered the books which were displayed on the coffee table of the living room. "I know, I'll tell them that I don't want you to be a part of that mess and that they have to leave you alone."
"Thank you for helping me" Calla smiled relieved.
"You're welcome." The Bennett witch said walking toward the door. She stopped and added "I'm helping you because we both hate Klaus and want him dead but I won't let you harm my friends."
Calla sighed, this girl was really stubborn and she wasn't going to stop protecting her 'friends'. It was bothering her and messing with her plan but she found it worthy of admiration. She decided to comply with Bonnie's wishes and let her 'friends' live. The hard parts of her new action plan were finding her cure and shove it down Niklaus' throat.
"You don't have to worry about that, I only want Niklaus to suffer. When I will kill him, I'll make sure his entire bloodline doesn't follow him in hell."
Bonnie examined her, wondering how she was going to do that and if it was even possible but she chose not to ask, then she left the room.
When Bonnie arrived at the Salvatore's boarding house, everyone was already there. Damon, Elena and Stefan were arguing about the sire bond and the cure. Jeremy was on the couch glaring at Klaus who was in a corner staring at Caroline who, in return was royally ignoring him. She even spotted Rebekah upstairs; she seemed bored but was listening to the doppelganger and the Salvatore brother's conversation. She wanted the cure and she wasn't going to let this little and dull tweet take it. She looked at her brother who was staring at the baby blonde vampire as if he had been starving for months and she was a blood bag. She still didn't see what drew him to the girl, she wasn't that beautiful, she was annoying and weak.
"Well" Damon began "since we're all here, shall we begin"
"Save it Damon. Let's make it quick. I'm already sick of being a part of your Scooby gang reunion" Rebekah grumbled scornfully.
"Don't get moody, sister. If you are angry because you failed to find the cure, you are the only one you should blame." Klaus retorted smirking at his sister. He didn't want her to take that damn cure. He will destroy it the minute he will land his eyes on it.
"I JUST WANTED YOU TO HELP ME TO REALIZE MY DREAM. DID I ASK TOO MUCH?" She yelled while coming downstairs at vampire speed.
"Your dream?" The hybrid scoffed "We'll give it to you now, then what? It will last a week maybe two before you get tired of being human and then you'll come and beg us to turn you into a vampire again? No offense, Love, but I don't really plan to grant your wish."
Before Rebekah could find something mean to say to Klaus, Damon interrupted their bickering
"Let me know when your sibling's drama is over, I'm already sick of it and we have important things to worry about".
The two Originals glared at him but the eldest Salvatore was satisfied they weren't getting on his nerve with their childish fight.
"Good!"
"You said Silas was a woman. How did you know it?" Klaus asked.
"Damon and Bonnie saw her on the island" Elena answered. She was as far as possible from the hybrid, between the two Salvatore's. It made Klaus roll his eyes. Did she really think that those two vampires will stop him if he wanted to rip her heart from her chest?
"She must in Mystic Falls now seeing that she came with Bonnie and Jeremy" Stefan added
"So the witch is the only one who can recognize her" saying that Klaus smirked dangerously at Bonnie. It didn't reassure her.
Seeing the anxiety on Bonnie's face, Jeremy came to her rescue.
"But she doesn't remember anything and neither do I. She must have compelled us."
Hearing that, Bonnie felt a pang of guilt hit her. She was lying to her friends in order to protect Calla.
"When I saw her she looked like she just came out of The Lord of Rings but I'm sure she isn't wearing her armor anymore, it draw too much attention. She asked me where the cure was before breaking my neck."
"Maybe we can use those memories to do a localization spell" Caroline asked throwing hopeful glances at Bonnie.
"For that we'll need a witch" Rebekah scoffed "We don't really have one right now" she added staring pointedly at Bonnie who glared at her.
"We have another witch…" Damon said
"No you don't!" Bonnie cut him "I won't let my cousin get involved in this."
"Bonnie you can't do a spell without burning something in the process. We need her." Elena tried to convince her
Not knowing what she could answer, she replied "I'll talk to her about it"
"I won't sit there and wait for you to talk to her, we have to act before Silas does so if you don't I'll take care of that witch myself" Klaus said before flashing out, leaving a panicked Bonnie behind.
She was sure that if Klaus met Calla, one of them would end up dead. She too left the boarding house letting four dumbfounded vampires and an amused original behind?
Calla was sharpening the blade of her sword in Bonnie's bedroom when she heard a loud band at the door. She gathered her long and wavy hair into a ponytail, took her sword and went downstairs ready to kick the ass of whoever disturbed her.
"I know you are here. If you don't come out of this house now I'll burn it with you inside" She heard the intruder say.
"Or maybe I'll just chop you head before you have the time to regret your birth" she said stepping forward in the doorway and facing him. She felt her knee weaken when she saw his face; her light-brown eyes were as wide as his own baby-blue ones. She knew she would have to face Klaus but she didn't knew it would be that fast. She wasn't ready, her heart wasn't either. She was suddenly overwhelmed by her feelings for him. Those feelings wouldn't disappear, no matter how much she hated him, no matter how much she tried to forget them.
"Niklaus" she whispered.
He looked like he has seen a ghost. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but nothing came out. After several seconds, the only thing he managed to say was "I thought you were dead".
Flashback
"What have you done" she asked him
Calla was standing before him, her eyes were wide opened and she was staring at the corpse of her sister at his feet. She ran toward it and knelt. She shook her sister, trying to wake her up but of course it didn't work; then she took Quetsya's heart on the ground and put it back into her ribcage.
"You can't die… How… How am I gonna live without… without you" she stuttered panicked.
Niklaus wasn't able to bear it anymore "She's dead" he said.
As if she just realized it, she began to cry loudly and scream the name of her sister. Niklaus just stood there not knowing what to do, he had never seen her cry; she was the strongest person he had ever seen and yet he had made her cry. He didn't deserve her; she was so beautiful, loyal to those she loved; he would have ruined her. She looked up at him with tears in the eyes.
"Please, tell me you didn't kill her" she begged him. She had seen the blood on his hands but she didn't want to believe that the man she was so deeply in love with killed the only family she had left."Please tell me it was an accident that you don't have anything to do with her death".
It hurt him to see how much she was suffering because of him but he killed her sister to protect her, Quetsya was about to curse her sister because of her jealousy. It was his fault…
"I killed her" he said softly
They stayed silent for a while before Calla jumped on his throat to strangle him. He stood still and let her do even though it wasn't doing anything to him. She let his throat and began to punch his chest.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME NIKLAUS? YOU KILLED THE ONLY FAMILY I HAD LEFT" she yelled, she was shaking and crying "How… How could you… I…I hate you…. I hate you" he stuttered.
She cried in his arms for a few more minutes and then she fell asleep. He put her in the hut and buried her sister. He decided not to tell her about Quetsya's betraying; he would let her hate him. She'll stay away from him; he'll compel her to forget about him, about her sister and to live a happy human life. But was he ready to let her go? He loves her; he has been mesmerized by her since the day he had seen her. He loved her laugh; to him it was like the song of a mermaid, it drew him to her and made him want to laugh with her. He loves her bravery; the way she would argue with him about everything, she wasn't scared of pissing him off like her sister or anyone else. He loves her strength, her kindness, he stubborness; he loves every single thing about her. But she'll lose that light if she stays with him.
He returned to the hut to compel her and gather his things but when he entered it he found Calla lying on the floor with a dagger in her stomach, she wasn't breathing. He felt his heart sink but he gathered his thoughts and remembered feeding her with his blood the night before. Knowing that she'll become a vampire, he removed the dagger and sat next to her and waited for her to wake up. He knew he was selfish but he wanted to keep her by his side and since she would be a vampire, she would have eternity to forgive him.
He waited two days like that, he stayed next to her, he didn't feed and he didn't sleep. It has been two days since she had died and he slowly began to lose hope. When the night fell, thinking she was dead, he cried for the first time in his whole life, he cried and buried her; then he left to find Elijah, Rebekah and Kol.
Not long after he left, Calla woke up from her long slumber.
"Well you thought wrong" she regained her composure and was pointing her sword toward him "What are you doing here?"
He looked at her suspiciously, he too has regained his mind and knew that after what had happened, she wasn't going to throw herself in his arm and kiss him, she wanted his death and the sword in front of his throat was telling him he was right "I can ask you the same question. I fed you with my blood and you died so I presume you are a vampire. I know this Bennett witch is not a big fan of vampires. How did you get her to help you? did you compel her? Or she let you in willingly" he said putting his hand on the sword and drawing her outside. When she was completely outside, he took steps toward her, capturing her hand to avert her from running into the house. He stopped just before her and whispered at her ear "maybe you tricked her into believing that you are her cousin to use her against me" He tightened his hold on her hand "it won't work so you better not try to kill me".
Calla bit her upper-lip in anger. He was really pissing her off. Did he really thought he was invincible or something? He face changed, letting black veins appear under her eyes.
"I'M GOING TO END YOU RIGHT NOW" she yelled, letting her anger explode.
She tried to push him away from her with a quick kick but he dodged it by stepping backward at vampire speed.
"I'm older and stronger than you Sweetheart, you can't beat me" he smirked, he was happy to see she was alive and herself again, even if she hated him
She threw her sword in Bonnie's house; she wouldn't show him her true power and let him find a way to use it against her.
"Let's see if you're right."
They began to fight and failed to notice the five vampires and the witch who were staring at them
"Who is she?" Stefan asked
"I don't know but she is kicking my brother's ass" Rebekah answered pleased by what was happening before her eyes.
"Wait! Is it Bonnie's cousin?" Caroline asked turning her attention toward the witch.
"Yeah! It's her. You didn't tell us she was a vampire." Elena replied confused.
Now they were all -except Damon who was still looking pointedly at Klaus and the other girl- staring Bonnie, waiting for answers. She was about to said something but was cut by Damon "Oh crap! I don't think we'll have to do the localization spell; we've already found Silas".
This chapter was longer than the others and it mark the start of the action.
How do you think everyone will react when they will discover that 'Silas' has lived under the same roof as Bonnie during all this time?
I'm really interested to hear your thoughts so please leave a review and let me know what you think about this new chapter.
