Kept in the dark
Chapter 10
Hey guys! Here's another chapter for all you lovely people!
Callia pulls out of Kol's grip a smile plastered on her face. ''I have to go.'' She breathes.
Kol pouts. ''Why?'' He asks.
''I need to talk to my brother and sister. They were telling the truth and I stormed out of the house like a spoilt little girl. I just had to know the truth from you for me to believe it.'' Callia says with a small smile.
Kol brushes his hand across her cheek. ''Do what you have to do.'' He breathes.
Callia smiles. ''I know that I have to be around you but this is going to take me a while to adjust too.'' She says.
Kol smiles at her. ''I know and I'm going to give you all the time you need.'' He says.
''Good. I'll call you, don't call me just wait okay?'' She asks him.
Kol glares at her. ''Are we still...'' He trails off.
''Yes I'm still going to help you. Just give me the time I need. Besides it's our little secret.'' She says.
Kol kisses her quickly. ''Our little secret.'' He says before he disappears.
Callia gasps but shakes it off and begins to make her way home. It's dark now so Callia quickens her pace. Knowing what she knows now she knows that vampires are free to roam around at night. When she walks through the door Jeremy and Elena are waiting for her and they both give her sympathetic smiles.
''How are you feeling?'' Elena asks her.
''Better. I'm sorry I stormed out it's just a lot to take in.'' Callia breathes walking over to her siblings and squeezing her body in-between them.
Callia puts an arm around her sister. ''Don't worry we are going to keep you safe. Me, Jeremy, Bonnie, Caroline, Alaric, Stefan and Damon.'' She says with a small smile.
''What if Klaus finds out that I know. What will he do to me?'' Callia stutters feeling the tears building in her eyes.
Jeremy grabs his sister's hands. ''He isn't going to find out. As far as he knows you still don't know anything and it's going to stay that way.'' Jeremy says.
Callia squeezes Jeremy's hands. ''Good.'' She says then she takes a deep breathe. ''But I don't want Stefan anywhere near me.'' She says.
Elena gasps. ''Why?'' She questions.
Callia looks straight into her sister's eyes. ''He saved you Elena, why couldn't he have saved mum and dad too?'' She asks stuttering every word.
Elena brushes her hand down her sister's face. ''It was too late Callie. Too late to save them.'' She says holding back the tears. ''There was nothing Stefan could do, they were gone when he went back down.'' She says.
Callia takes in the information and then nods slowly.
''It's going to be okay Callia we promise. Now do you understand why you couldn't see Kol again?'' Jeremy asks her.
Callia nods closing her eyes. ''He's dangerous.'' She lies.
''Not as dangerous as Klaus. But dangerous enough and I'm sorry about it all I know you liked him.'' Elena says.
Callia lets a blush spread across her cheeks. ''Yeah I did, but now I know the truth, I feel different.'' She says.
''Be careful who you invite in next time.'' Jeremy says rather smugly.
Callia shoves him her own smirk crossing her face. ''I will.'' She says.
'' Everything's going to be okay Callie you don't have to worry about anything.'' Elena says to her kindly.
''I'm glad you told me. But I would like to help.'' She says.
Elena and Jeremy look at her horrified. ''If you help Klaus will know you know and I can't have him hurting you.'' Elena breathes carressing her sisters face.
Callia sighs. ''I guess.'' She breathes.
Elena forces Callia to look at her. ''Don't worry. You can help soon.'' Elena says.
''Thank you.'' Callia breathes.
''No problem. Now it's been a rough day how about we all get into our pajamas order a take out and sit in front of the tv watching movies for the rest of the night under a blanket?'' Elena suggests.
Callia smiled. ''I'd love that.'' She exclaims.
''I'll watch anything. But no soppy chick flicks.'' Jeremy states causing his sisters to laugh.
They all go upstairs and get changed into their night wear before grabbing some blankets and placing them in the living room.
''What take out?'' Elena asks.
''Pizza!'' Both Jeremy and Callia shout.
''Alright, I'll order that whilst you two pick some movies.'' Elena says.
Both Jeremy and Callia share a look before they both charge into the living room. Callia jumping over the couch and Jeremy running around. Callia lands on Jeremy's back in front of the DVD case and they both burst into laughter. Elena only rolls her eyes at her younger siblings.
''It's a good thing I love you otherwise you'd be pinned to the floor right now.'' Jeremy says through laughs.
Callia climbs off Jeremy's back and kisses him on the cheek before leaning her head into his shoulder. Jeremy smiles at his sister, she needs him right now and he can't welcome her affection enough.
''How about we watch... Transformers?'' Callia suggests.
''Sounds good but which one?'' Jeremy asks.
Callia goes deep into thought. ''How about all three?'' Callia suggests.
Jeremy smiles at her. ''Why not.'' He says taking all three from the case and placing them on the floor underneath the DVD player.
They both stand up and Callia stays glued to Jeremy's side as Elena pours them both a glass of coke. She smiles at her younger siblings. Telling Callia truly had brought them closer and she was glad she had finally come clean to her little sister.
''So what movie are we watching?'' She asks.
''All three transformers.'' Callia says with a smile.
''Great.'' Elena beams. ''Ordered the pizza should be here in around twenty minutes.'' Elena says with a smile.
''Great!'' Jeremy and Callia chime.
All three of them then walk into living room and all cuddle together under a blanket on the couch. Jeremy slips out quickly and puts the first film into the DVD player before slipping back under the blanket next to Callia. They spend all night cuddled together, watching the movies and eating pizza. The secret truly had brought them close together. Callia hated lying to them about Kol but she had to do what she had to do. She was going to help Kol take Klaus down to protect her remaining family from the viscous vampire who killed her Aunt in cold blood.
When all of the movies are finished all three of them slowly walk up to bed. Callia kisses them both goodnight before she walks into her room. Once her door is closed she smiles to herself, happy that she had spent this evening with her sibling. She climbs into bed and that's when Kol invades her mind, she had told him not to call her so she could have time to adjust to it all. It would take her a few days to get used to knowing so much information but for now she was just happy being around her family. Kol could wait... No matter how much it hurt her to be away from him.
Hey guys! How was that? Just a little family bonding in this chapter to show that through Callia knowing the secret it means that Jeremy and Elena don't have to hide anything from her. Don't hate me for Callia putting her family first, she has to do it so they don't find out about her's and Kol's plan ;) LOVE you all so much for the reviews you left me on the last chapter! I really appreciate it so much! Also thank you so much for the favorites and follows it really means a lot! So keep all three of them coming as they motivate me to write more! Love you all, Vmk-xx.
