I want to thank all of you for the support and please keep it up. I hope you enjoy!
I watch Katerina out of the corner of my eye as I eat. She's looking anywhere but us. I chuckle quietly. Nik raises an eyebrow at me, he's next to me. "Tatia always did that." I whisper so quietly that Elijah nor Rebekah can hear. He turns to look at Katerina and shrugs taking a sip of his 'red wine'. His gaze goes back to the pretty blonde maid (Desert) in the corner of the room. He licks his lips, he's had a thing for blondes since Tatia.
Then I notice Elijah staring longingly at Katerina. He got Tatia, he will probably get Katerina for a while because monsters like me don't find love unless we have morals and always keep our word. I hate my older brother. I grab my spare and sharpest knife from the left side of my plate. I throw it straight at Elijah's head, it just about misses due to the fact he ducks out of the way. If he didn't, it would have lodged right in his skull. "Alexandra." He scowls in an annoyed and disappointed tone. His scowling makes my other siblings and Katerina look at me. Nik looks amused, Rebekah looks worried whilst Katerina looks confused.
I give him an innocent smile before my expression goes icy. "Don't use that tone with me, Elijah." I snap at my older brother who winces and allow my eyes to glow a golden yellow. I then throw my other knife at his head before storming out of the dining hall. I know it didn't hit him but he just gets everything. I go to Niklaus' room to find where he hides the daggers.
I grab Elijah's and dip it in white oak ash. I return a few minutes later with the dagger hidden. Niklaus still looks amused, Rebekah even looks slightly amused, Elijah is worried whilst Katerina looks even more confused. I move quickly to behind Elijah plunging the dagger from his back into his heart. "Have a nap, big brother, I'm tired of looking at you." I mutter as his skin goes gray and veins cover his face. His head falls back lifeless in his chair.
"Alexandra." Both of my siblings and Katerina say at the same time. Niklaus is very amused whilst Rebekah is angry and Katerina is horrified.
I go over to Katerina and grab her chin in my hands. "You'll forget what I just did to Elijah, Elijah has gone on a trip and might not be back at all or for a while. Go out into the gardens and wait for me to come and get you." I compel her quickly. Her pupils dilate as I let go of her chin. She stands up, thanks us then walks towards where the gardens are.
"She's been here for two weeks and you have already daggered Elijah!" Rebekah shouts standing up crossing her arms.
"To be honest, Bekah, I do not want to see his face either. He's been super self-righteous lately." Niklaus agrees and I smile at my twin brother. Always on the same page. Rebekah huffs knowing she will not win and leaves the room. "Let's let him sleep for a few weeks." I nod in agreement as I pick up Elijah's body and moves him down to where Kol and Finn are being held in their coffins. I can probably get over the urge to snap Elijah's neck whenever he comes within meters of me.
I open the door to the Salvatore boarding house after I sat with Damon all night drinking. He told Elena he loved her and let's just say it didn't work out well. He made her forget anyway. I may have slept in Damon's bed but there was nothing that exciting going on in the bed, only sleep. I see Rose-Marie at the entrance and I smirk. "Hi, Rose." She freezes in fear. I grab her by her neck and slam her into the side of the house. "You'll forget that I'm related to Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, all of my sibling and that I'm an original. We meet a few years ago when we worked together on something." I compel, us Originals can do that to less vampires too.
I let her go and she looks at me weird then goes neutral. "Alexandra."
"What are you doing here?" I ask and I feel Damon's breathe on the back of my neck. "Damon, personal space." He chuckles and looks at Rose.
"I need to warn you about who is after Elena." She tells us and I raise an eyebrow. She's helping them. I thought that even she saw me that she would run for the hills but I guess she might have more guts than I thought.
I leaning against the fireplace as Elena walks in. Her hand gripping Stefan's like it's the only thing she owns. I look over at Damon who is frowning at their conjoined hands. Damon is stood next to me. We are just behind Rose who is slightly pacing. "Okay, you have to understand I only know what I've picked up over the years and I don't know what's true and what's not true." She pauses and this interesting to see the legends around my family. "That's the problem with all this vampire crap. But Klaus I know is real." Well duh.
"Who is he?" Elena asked with her arms crossed sitting on the couch in front of Rose.
"He's one of the originals." I tell her quickly with a wave of my hand.
"He's a legend." Damon adds with a smirk and a bit of a mock to his tone. He's mocking my twin brother, no one mocks my twin brother. I don't growl like I want to just cross my arms.
"From the first generation of vampires." One point to Stefan. Yay Steffy!
"Like Elijah."
I shake my head slightly. My big brother isn't nearly in mine or Niklaus' league, hell he's not even in Rebekah's. "No, Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus. He's a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal." Damon rolls his eyes. Great all I can know think of is Elijah in an Easter bunny costume. I need to tell Nik about Rose's thoughts of him and Elijah. I wonder what I am, a foot soldier or the real deal?
"Klaus is known to be the oldest." I'm older than Niklaus! Well by 5 minutes but I'm still older! Anyway, we have two older brothers and Mikael is out there somewhere who has about 20 years on all of us. I snort at that but no one notices.
Elena puts her hand up shutting everyone up. "So you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?" Elena asked with a scared look on her face.
"Yes." Both Rose and I say at the same time whilst the Stefan says "No."
Damon raises an eyebrow at me, surprised I'm 'buying' into this. "What they are saying is, that if what she is saying is true-"
"Which it is." Again both Rose and I say at the same time.
"Alex, stop buying into all of this, she is probably just saying it so we don't kill her." Damon says turning to me. There is some logic there but if I wanted to kill Rose I would have already.
I stop leaning on the wall turning to Damon. "She's not, just ask Katherine." Damon, Stefan, and Elena look first at each other than to me. Rose widens her eyes, how I made her forget who I am which means she doesn't know that I'm Alexandra Mikaelson who knows Katerina Petrova. "Fuck." I mutter under my breath.
"That's who Katherine's running from." Damon says and I bite my lip. "Alex, what else to do you know?" What else do I know? I know everything but you don't need to know that, though. I glare at him basically saying 'not telling'. "Okay, then we are looking at a solid maybe."
Stefan trying to look on the bright side says "Look Elijah's dead," I roll my eyes. We are original vampires. My brother wouldn't have gotten himself killed my two century and a half vampires, the only reason they put him down for a bit was because he was in shock about seeing me. "No one else knows you exist."
"Not that you know of." I tell them and Stefan glares at me.
"Not helping, Alex." Damon mutters and I roll my eyes at him.
Stefan sits down next to his girlfriend and takes her hands in his. "I've never met anyone who's laid eyes on him." You have Stefan, we even considered you a brother. You've met Klaus. "Look we are looking at centuries of truth mixed with fiction. We don't know what's real. He could just be a stupid bedtime story." I have to stop myself from laughing at that. I do, just about.
"He's real and if he wants something he doesn't give up. You'd be an idiot to not be afraid of Klaus. He can't be killed and even if you did by some miracle, his twin sister would kill and hunt you down." She's right you know I would kill and hunt anyone who even thought about killing my dear brother.
"Twin sister?" Damon asks with a slight groan. "Let me guess, a bigger bitch than Alex." I laugh hard at that. He just said that I'm a bigger bitch then myself. Then he acts like he's shaking. "All right we are shaking in our boots. You've made your point."
Elena then stands up. "Where are you going?"
"School, I'm late." I look down at my watch. She is late but who thinks about school when the original family is after you? She is totally lying. I might as well follow her.
Stefan sighs when he starts standing up. "Let me grab my stuff, I'll go with you."
Elena puts a hand on his chest. "It's okay, I know where it is."
Damon leans closer to Rose and I then whispers. "She's in denial." I laugh and Stefan turns to glare at us.
"Shut up, you two." Steffy snaps with an annoyed tone, I think he has had enough of us. Both Damon and I put our hands up in mock surrender. Then look at each other and laugh again.
I left the boarding house with the excuse I'm going to go change my clothes. They bought it like a charm. I did follow Elena, she meets up with Care-Bear. Who took her to the tomb as to which Katerina is being held. She has a bag of stuff. I follow behind, out of the hearing of Caroline but within mine. Caroline is trying to dissuade her from going. It didn't work. Caroline ran off quickly to go distract Stefan. I hear Katerina and Elena start talking. Wither away, blah blah blah, who's Klaus, blah blah blah, long story, blah blah blah, Petrova fire, blah blah blah, family history, blah blah blah.
She ran, Katerina ran. Elijah had something to do with it but I'm not saying I wasn't thinking it either. Let her run. One problem she took the moonstone and has a cut on her forehead. I can smell her sweet blood. "Big brother, she's here."
"Katerina! I know you're near!" Elijah shouts quickly. I can hear her pounding heartbeat, her rigid and uneven breaths. Then they muffle, she probably put her hand over her mouth to try and quiet herself.
"You can't hide!" I continue from where my brother left off. "Klaus will find you where ever you go." Then a baby vampire appears right next to me pointing in the opposite direction to the smell. I think his name is Travis or is it Trevor, Trevor, his name is Trevor.
"She's that way, there's more blood." Elijah falls for it quickly storming off over there.
I look in the direction to see some green dress fabric. I roll my eyes at Elijah however I tune into the boy's voice. "Head east, I can't lead them astray much longer." He tells to my Katerina. Why am I still calling her that? Niklaus needs her by tomorrow night for we have to wait another 10 years to break the curse which isn't good.
"I can't run anymore." Her sweet voice says. She sounds scared and rightly so.
"Never mind, there's a cottage. You'll be safe there." I guess that's where I'm heading when I get rid of my idiot older brother. "Go, go now."
I go to the darkest corner of the tomb and watch Elena and Katherine talk. Katerina notices me first, I put my fingers to my lips and smirk. She looks back at her doppelganger. "So what did Klaus want?"
"The same thing that he'll want with you. He wants to break the curse." Katerina's eyes drift to me and I wink, Elena doesn't notice Katerina's eyes drifting to mine, even in the slightest. Idiot.
"By sacrificing the Petrova doppelganger." My question would be how the hell did the Petrovas move from the new world to Bulgaria. I know it had been 500 years but Tatia only had one son.
"He wanted to drain every single drop of my blood from my body." When did she get so dramatic? We only wanted to sacrifice her by Niklaus feeding on her, wait I think that's the same thing, crap.
Elena pushes another cup of blood towards Katerina. "What does the Petrova bloodline have to do with Klaus?" First love, used to make us vampires, used to make the curse, betrayal.
Again she looks at me before talking. "It's really tedious but the curse was bound by the sacrifice of Petrova blood, witches are crafty with their spells." I silently laugh at the witches part. "The doppelganger was created as a way to undo the spell, once we reappear we can be used to break the spell." When did she get so knowledgeable I never told all of this.
"So you ran before he could kill you."
Katerina answers by saying "Something like that." She started to retell her story of how she first met Rose. How Rose said she was going to take her back to Klaus at nightfall because she didn't have a crafty daylight ring. Then throwing her into a room.
"Rose never ended up taking you back to Klaus, did she?" Elena asks and I roll my eyes, of course not.
"No but not because she had a chance of heart."
I brag on the front door of the cottage which Trevor told Katerina where to do. I got rid of Elijah by getting us to split up, I compelled my half to keep walking. No one opens the door at first. "Open the bloody door!" I shout and Trevor shows up. He blocks my vision inside the house. "Invite me in." I demand and he is practically shaking.
Then an old woman appears pushed just in front of Trevor. "Come in, my lady." She bows and I smirk shoving Trevor out the way. I see Katerina with blood around her mouth, dried blood on her cheek and a whole in her dress with blood around it but only faint lines on her skin. I don't even look at Rose or Trevor as I walk past them. Katerina shrinks away from me, I frown. "Katerina, come here." I say with a softness to my voice.
She shakes her head violently. "You'll just take me back to Klaus to die." I hate the distrusting tone in her voice, I've never heard her use it with me before. I almost breaks my heart. "You said you loved me but how do I know that isn't another of your lies."
I walk over to her and she backs as far as she can from me. "Katerina." I try and show her with my eyes the battle which I'm facing mentally. I cup her cheek with my hand."I would never and will never lie about my love for you." Then I finally want to know why blood is around her mouth. "Why is there blood around her mouth?" I ask the two behind me but my eyes still locked with Katerina's.
"She was hurt and might have died on the way back to you and Klaus so I fed her some of my blood." Rose tells me with fear filling her voice. I wipe the remaining blood away from Katerina's mouth.
My voice turns into a low whisper. "My dear, sweet Katerina how would you like to be freed from mortality?" She looks confused but still nods. I take her lips in mine. She does kiss me back. I convey my feelings for her in the kiss. I move by hand to her chin and with one swift movement snap her neck. I catch her body as she goes limp. I hear the gasps of both Trevor and Rose-Marie. I lie her down on the bed carefully because looking at the two of them. "Katerina committed suicide, she hung herself then you moved her to the bed, then she fed on your human then left for good but I'm staying until she feeds but after I was never here." I compel.
"You let someone kill you?" Elena asked shocked. Katerina's eyes go to mine before back to Elena.
"Klaus needed a human doppelganger. As a vampire, I was no longer any use to him. She knew that more than I did." Katherine tells Elena with a shrug. She hasn't said my name once, either Klaus' sister, her, she, never Alexandra.
"But it didn't work. You didn't escape. You've been running ever since." Katherine rolls her eyes and I try not to laugh.
"We underestimated his spirit for vengeance." She's right, we totally did. "Living out of a suitcase is better than dying so you can have your blood spilled over some silly rock." Katherine snaps in an annoyed fashion. Why do I feel she's slightly annoyed at me now? "What's wrong? Afraid I'm right? You don't wanna die? There's another way out." She then uses a nail to slice a part of her wrist open then looks back up at Elena. "Better hurry. Your opportunity is going, going, going and gone." She says as the cut beginnings to heal. "I made the other choice."
I sit on one of the chairs as I watch Katerina sleep or whatever you call the time it takes for the dead to reawaken as the undead. Trevor and Rose are staring in horror. I cross my legs. Then she gasps waking up. I'm at her side within a moment. "What did you do, Katerina?" Trevor asks, him thinking she committed suicide. "I would have helped you live."
I help her up and watch as she stands up for herself with a smirk. "You would have helped me run, that was never going to be enough." I put my hand on her lower back, she sinks into the touch. Then I see the blood lust in her eyes as she walks over to the window.
"It was enough for me." He mutters then my jealousy boils. I grab him by his neck, my eyes turn yellow and he cowers.
"Shut up." I snap throwing him to the ground. "You need to feed, my love, it's the only way to complete the transformation." I tell her walking back over to my Katerina. She nods with her eyes on the jugular vein the human's neck.
Rose shakes her head. "Oh, don't you see, Trevor? She used you as an escape and me to allow her to turn." I raise an eyebrow at her. "Klaus will see our role in this."
Then Katerina speaks again. "And for that, I am truly sorry."
I see the hate in Rose's eyes and I let my true face show in a threat to not move. "As I am for this." She moves forward to attack her, a stake in her hand. It seems that Rose knows she will die so might as well take Katerina with her. I move the human in front of Katerina. Once Rose removes the stake from her human, Katerina plunges her teeth into the wound.
"Please understand but her life is more important than yours." I say as Katerina lets the human drop dead to the fall, dried of all blood.
Both of them gasp. "You have just sentenced us to a death sentence." Rose says with an angry look in her eyes.
"Better you die than I." I then push the maid onto them as Katerina sprints off. I quickly follow. I pick her up moving her away from the search parties. "What should we do?" She asks once I put her down.
Didn't think about that part. "Run back to Bulgaria. I will meet you there. I will leave a daylight ring at your old home." I touch her face pulling her lips into mine. They are different, colder than before. "Just remember, I will love you no matter what."
"I love you too." Then she runs away.
I start sprinting the opposite direction to her which is where my family's manor is. Elijah is already there with crossed arms. "She escaped, Trevor and Rose-Marie are to blame."
"Rose and Trevor ran for 500 years because you and Klaus' sister used them, Trevor just got killed." Never thought he would last that long, well done him. Our eyes lock and I feel that love which I've been feeling for the last 500 years. She smiles and I smile back.
"Never thought he would've last that long." Took the words right out my mouth. Katerina passes it off as slight amusement.
Elena looks annoyed probably at how she's smiles. "You don't even care that you ruined their lives."
"I was looking out for myself, Elena, I will always look out for myself. If you're smart you'd do the same." Elena's jaw clenches shut in annoyance. Then she stands back up. "So how much of your little story is true?"
"I have no reason to lie, Elena." Then she mutters. "I have no reason to do anything but sit here, read and rot." I chuckle quietly at that. Elena, I have no idea that someone has been behind me this whole time, Gilbert doesn't hear me. I pull at a face at Katerina and she smirks.
Elena then starts to talk again. "Okay, so assuming that it is true, that's the reason you came back because you want to be the person who hands me over to Klaus." She closes the book of her family history looking back at Elena.
I really want to say 'well done, Elena, here's a cookie.' but I don't. I need her gone so I can talk to Katerina alone. "500 years of waiting, I think he will be willing to strike a deal."
Elena looks like her life has just flashed before her very eyes. "So you got Mason to get the moonstone."
"Right again." 2 cookies for Elena.
"What else is needed to break the curse?" Elena asks and Katerina smirks. Well Elena, think about it to create a hybrid what do you need. A vampire, a werewolf, the moonstone, and a doppelganger.
Katherine hums in approval. "Look who's getting smarter."
"It's not just the stone or me, is it? Otherwise, there would be no reason to trigger Tyler Lockwood's werewolf curse." There are more werewolves in town? Interesting.
Katerina answers with "Witches and their spells. So many ingredients, so many to sacrifice."
"So you need a werewolf." 3 cookies for Elena!
"Believe it or not they are hard to come by." That's kind of my families fault. We went on a giant wolf culling back in the 10th century. I'm a bad werewolf, aren't I?
"A witch to do the spell." Elena's on a role. 4 cookies!
"Mine bailed but little Bonnie will do just fine." Katerina comments and I guess that's true, the Bennetts are a very powerful witch family. "You also need a vampire."
"Caroline." My eyes widen. Katerina looks at me in confusion but hides it quickly. The vampire isn't hard I can just turn someone quickly, so Care-Bear will be fine. She's one of the few people in this town who I like.
"I do like the poetry of Caroline." Katerina comments and I shake my head at her meaning no. She rolls her eyes quickly at me. I make my glow yellow. Again she rolls her eyes. Elena still doesn't notice.
Elena is shaking with anger. "So you were just going to hand us over to die."
"Better you die than I." Then Katerina turns around and starts to go away.
I'm just about to leave when Elena says. "But there a floor in your plan, how are you going to contact Klaus without getting killed." She tenses then turns back to Elena.
"His sister is back in town, of course." Then fully starts to walk away. I take that as my cue to leave. I vamp out of the tomb quickly. I wait for Elena to leave but then Stefan enters the tomb. They begin arguing about something, that I don't care about then Katerina starts to tell them the final chapter of this part of the story.
I watched as Klaus killed everyone in Katerina's family. I felt guilt for not standing by my twin brother. He daggered Elijah when we told him about Katerina's escape. Niklaus did it thinking it was him who allowed Katerina to escape. When it was me all along. Then Rebekah pissed him off so he daggered her. I pulled his hand into mine like we did as we were human as he cried about never being his true self. He left Bulgaria a few days ago. I look around at the blood covered room.
Katerina's father pinned to the wall with a sword in his chest, her mother's throat slit with blood drenching the bed covers which is lay on. A servant at the foot of the bed which their heart ripped out. Other servants' bodies are littered all over the house, some have their hearts ripped out, swords in their bodies, heart ripping off or just left to bleed out with their wrists or neck slit I cannot say I didn't kill any of them because I did but they are the ones with hearts ripped out.
I rub my face as I leave the house. I left the daylight ring on the bedside table with a simple note wrapped around it. I told Nik I would meet him in Paris tonight and my carriage leaves in an hour so I have to go now.
Dear Katerina,
I am sorry I allowed my brother to do such a thing however I vow to always keep you safe. I love you and always will. Forever and Always.
With love,
Alexandra
I heard a cry of grief as I left the house alone. I know it's Katerina's but I squeeze my eyes shut trying to block it out. I let a single tear roll down my face as I flip my humanity switch. All of the guilt leaves my body. That's the only way I can look at Niklaus, without feeling guilt. When he asks I'll just say because I feel so much sorrow over our brother's betrayal that I cannot bare to feel emotion anymore.
"He killed my whole family just to get back at me." I feel guilt overcome myself. "Whatever you do to escape Klaus, he will get his vengeance. On your friends, on your family, on anyone you've ever loved." That's when I realize I'm the only person Katerina has left. Nik killed them all. My guilt doubles. She may have called Mikael but wouldn't I do the same if I was in her position, I need to talk to her. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure his sister hasn't told Klaus yet. She vowed to keep me safe."
"Who's Klaus' sister?" Stefan asks and I hear him pull Elena closer to him.
"Come on Stefan, an unknown vampire, she knew me in 1491, in love with me." There is a silence then they both gasp.
"Alexandra is Klaus' sister and an original vampire." Elena states and I vamp into the tomb.
They both turn to see me with shocked and sacred expressions. I give Katerina a small wave, she smirks. Then turn to Elena to correct her. "Actually I'm an original hybrid."
Ooooooh so Stefan and Elena know who Alexandra really is. Any suggestions? Any things you'd like me to add in? I want to know. If you enjoyed please review, follow and favorite.
Next chapter- Alexandra talks with the whole group, some threatening happens, Elijah and Alexandra make a deal.
