Loud music blared from the Tiller household, as Lucia felt happiness and joy spread around her. She smiled as she noticed her older daughter Lianna, grinning and laughing with her friend Caroline however she knew and noticed the slight discomfort, she was hiding something; however, Lucia decided to drop it, for tonight.
Ryan danced wildly, with Tatianna screaming tow. It was ironical how she could go from shy to crazy in one second. After cutting the cake, all the children which included, Caroline, Lianna, Ryan, And Jonah were all dancing now and recording.
The lights were off, and the speakers, lighted up, spinning around the room like a disco ball. The upbeat, urban song roared loudly, however Lucia and Bryson were perfectly content as they sat there.
"We're so lucky, to have such lucky children. How did we ever get so lucky?" She breathed as she leaned against her husband chest. He chuckled; it was obvious where the children got the good looks from. "The parents were gods!" As Caroline put it. Lucie had long dark silky hair and striking blue eyes, she had a pale complexion and she usually wore simple shirts, and jeans or dresses nothing too fashionable, but still fashionable.
Bryson had dark skin, and brown eyes, he had multiple stubbles covering his face, he mostly wore dark colors which complimented his skin tone as well as his mixed race cousins. He had and African American background, unlike his wife who had an English-Italian background, nevertheless, despite their different backgrounds they were mad- in love.
Lianna was laughing before, a buzzing noise, began annoying her. Annoyed she picked it up, frustrated at the fact whoever was calling, certainly did not get the message, of getting lost. She picked it up,
"What do you want?" She growled annoyed, not bothering to look at the caller id.
"Aw, Darling no need to be so mean!" Kol exclaimed, in mock pain. She felt the annoyance buzz through her, as she placed her drink down.
"What do you want?" She simply demanded. He chuckled, she knew him so well; despite the short span of knowing him, however, he enjoyed the chase; this one particular.
"Can I not just sporadically phone you?" He asked tauntingly.
She rolled her eyes, huffing. "Please, Kol Mikaelson, sporadic?!"
He smirked, "I'm going away for a while, Denver." He announced, Lianna raised an eyebrow even if he couldn't see it. Why the hell would Kol go to Denver? Why the hell did she care?
"You're telling me this why…?" She trailed off irritated.
He smirked, as her irritation grew, "Well, you could join me?" He suggested.
She immediately scoffed, "Over my dead body!"
"Aw, love don't be mean. Come on, road trips are great. I can get to know you better!" He replied suggestively.
She shivered in disgust, "Yeah I don't think so." She responded firmly.
He pouted, "Come on! It'll be fun!" He tempted.
She hesitates, maybe it wouldn't be that bad? No. No. No. This was Kol, Kol Mikaelson anything could happen! Shaking her head, she felt self-conflicted. Kol smirked on the other end, knowing he'd caused her to mentally debate with herself.
"Fine." She huffed, after a long silence.
"Great! I'll pick you up at six! Be ready!" Wait, what!"Six?!" She shrieked incredulously, however, Kol had already cut the line. Oh, tomorrow she would murder that man.
The next morning couldn't have gone any worserer. She was in deep sleep until somebody yanked the covers off her, she let out a shriek.
"Oh my god!" She cried, as she attempted to snatch the blanket back, to cover her nudity. It had gotten really hot last night so she had removed her her clothing but left her undergarments obviously, but it didn't help because they were black and lace.
"Darling, I told you to be ready." He stated smirking. She growled angrily.
"Get the hell out!" She demanded, He rolled his eyes, but ignored her demanded as he took a seat at her dresser.
When he repeatedly ignored her demands she quickly got out wrapping her covers around her as she threw on a long sweatshirt.
Sitting at the edge of her wardrobe, she peered into to it, attempting to find an outfit, before she showered so she didn't have to walk out and Kol see her in a towel. A smart idea, definitely smart, knowing Kol.
Settling on something simple, Adidas Originals Street Crew Sweatshirt. Which obviously was Khaki, her favorite color. Nike Air Max Thea Textured Sneakers. Which were also Khaki. She just simply slipped on some comfy leggings.
Walking out, she noticed Kol had a curious expression. "Who's that?" He asked quizzically pointing to a picture of a younger her besides her cousin Maya.
Lianna couldn't help the grin that crept on her face, "That's me. The blonde girl is my cousin Maya. She's my mom's brothers daughter." Lianna explained, grinning as she remembered that day. They'd gone to the fairground and went on all the rides and the big Ferris wheel.
Lianna was smiling, her dimples on display. Her hair was in two dutch braids and she was wearing a simple black dress and tights. As she held the pink candy floss in her arms. Maya was grinning too, her long blonde locks in dutch braids as well wearing a striped tee, and shorts. Holding the blue candy floss. Both girls had been excited and were giggling at the fact they had the same hairstyle.
One of the hardest thing when leaving New York was; leaving her family, and friends. Maya had been her cousin, her sister. She was born a few months after Lianna her and Lianna being the eldest born in their generation.
"You were a cute child." He commented uncharacteristically, she raised her eyebrows at him. While he flashed her a look of innocence,
"What?" He asked she rolled her eyes. "Nothing." She replied dismissively.
"Move." She ordered, to the boy sitting at her dressing table. He raised his eyebrows but remained silence.
"I need to do my makeup, now move." She repeated, annoyed. How could he annoy her so much? Kol just seemed to get under her skin, he just had this way of making her feel…undescribable.
He quickly changed seats to the edge of her bed, as she watched intriguingly as she applied her makeup. He had never seen anybody put it on, but he'd seen people with it on.
After putting on her usual makeup, she inspected her face, quickly applying a dark lipstick. She groaned as she pulled out the hair tie. Her afro was large and untamed. From the reflection, she noticed Kol's infamous smirk and low chuckle. She shot him back a glare, while quickly throwing it into a messy bun at the top of her head.
"Come on." She muttered dragging his arm. She silently padded down the stairs. He opened his mouth to speak, but she quickly placed a finger on his lips, warning him with a deadly glare. The last thing she needed was getting caught sneaking out, especially with a boy, a vampire boy.
She flicked on the kitchen light and sighed, grabbing a cup of blood and a pop tart, she paused before sliding him the jug of blood.
He raised his eyebrows, she seemed to be acting different, kinder to him? He nevertheless smirked obviously and poured himself some blood as they silently ate.
Lianna went on her phone, in an attempt to distract herself. She scrolled through her contacts before hitting the one that said, Aurelia. Her cousin that resided in Denver
She quickly began typing,
Hey Lia, I'm gonna be in Denver, was wondering if you wanted to hang out? xx
She quickly pressed send before placing her phone beside her, "So..how long are we gonna be there?" She asked in an attempt to break the silence.
He shrugged nonchalantly, "Depends on how long I'm needed." He admitted. She nodded slowly, "Well, I'm only coming because I have cousins there and the shopping malls and parties are amazing there." She told him in a fact of fact.
"Well, I'm only coming because I have cousins there and the shopping malls and parties are amazing there." She told him in a matter of fact tone.
He raised an eyebrow, "Maya?" He questioned curiously. She shook her head, "No, another one. Aurelia and Aurora. There my grandfather's youngest sister's granddaughter." She explained vaguely. He nodded.
Stopping, she grabbed a piece of paper and began writing,
Dear Mom. Dad or whoever the hell reads this. I decided to see Lia and Aurora, needed some girl time I'm gonna get Caroline to get my homework.
Don't be mad, love you and leave you.
Lianna xx
Kol raised his eyebrow, "Your parents don't know?" He asked surprised.
She rolled her eyes, "Yes they do, that's why I'm writing this letter." She remarked sarcastically.
"Are they gonna yell?" He asked interested leaning in, she shrugged. Hopefully not she thought.
"Let me get my bags." She told him. He raised his brows, "Bags?"
She rolled her eyes, before giving him a stern look, "Just because we're going on a road trip, that does not mean I'm not going to dress nicely." She replied decisively. She was certainly something unique he thought.
Once they were finally on the road, Lianna was surprised by the comfortable silence around them, nothing but the low humming of some classical music. Rolling her eyes she connected her phone to the car speaker because clearly decades in a box Kol definitely lacked in knowledge of technology.
She paused, as she scrolled through her music, before picking GEKO - Y (Official Video) ft. Afro B. Those were the types of songs she was into, though she pretty much tolerated most songs besides classical and rock.
Kol crinkled his noise, music from this era was definitely the worst it had ever been he thought. She let out a small laugh at the face he was making.
"What?" He asked turning to her.
She smiled, "Your face. You hate this song." She replied.
"I hate all songs from this era." He admitted shrugging.
"Well, we'll soon change that." She mused confidently.
He raised his eyebrows, "Is that a challenge?" He asked amused.
"Yes. Yes, it is." After countless pop songs, Kol's hate for pop songs grew.
"Why don't we take instead of listening to this rub-" But cut himself off when he noticed the look Lianna was giving him.
"Inconvenient use of instruments and vocals." He quickly corrected himself. She rolled her eyes at him.
"Why, there's nothing to talk about." She murmured shrugging.
He shrugged, "How about family?" She suggested.
She shrugged, "Ok. You go first." She replied. He shook his head, "You speak." He replied.
She rolled her eyes but obliged. "Erm…My names Elianna,bu if you dare call me Elianna I will fry your ass then tear you apart. I have two siblings, Tatia-"
He rolled his eyes cutting her off, "Tell me something, I don't know."
Ohhh, ok. She pondered as she thought about telling him something, "How about you talk about your cousins in Denver?" He suggested.
"Oh I have two, Auralia and Aurora there sisters. Their mother's name is Aleenah. Aleenah's mother, Lindsey. She was kidnapped and raped and forced to give birth to Aleenah. Her husband was cursed at the time and didn't know what he was doing. Everyone thought she was off at college, but she wasn't she'd even send letters occasionally, but they were lies, it all was but she was trying to protect us.
Anway one-day her daughter, Aleenah. She found out she was pregnant and ran away, she found my great-grandmother and she lived with us in New York. I remember coming going to my great-grandmother's house; we always went every Saturday. Anway when we went I noticed her she was definitely beautiful, she had long jet black hair, with bright blue eyes, and tan skin.
Their mom was such a cutie. She was definitely my favorite aunt. She was laid back and the kind of 'chill mom'. Anway I was around four when I first met her and then she gave birth to her first child around 2009. Due to the vampire growth, Aurelia grew really fast, like all of my vampire-hybrid family.
It usually takes us around 7 to 12 years to grow. At the age of sixteen, we stop growing. Usually, when we go to school we fake our age for example everybody thinks I was born in 1996, that bullshit I was actually born in 2008." She explained thoroughly.
Kol, paused in surprise so that technically made her, seven? But he nodded slowly processing the information.
"Anway, enough about me, tell me about you?" She replied as she shuffled in his Mercedes-Benz to face him.
He shrugged, "What do you wanna know?" He asked.
She shrugged, "Anything." She admitted.
He paused, "Well let's see I had a wonderful childhood. My mother tried to kill us, my father tried to kill us. My brother ended up shoving a stake in me and locking me in a box. Not really much to tell darling." He replied smoothly, his eyes never leaving the road. Well somebody was very sarcastic tody.
She rolled her eyes, before turning absolutely serious, "What was it like?" She asked cautiously not wanting to upset or anger him.
"What?" He asked clearly confused.
"Staked, Being in a coffin, what was it like?" She asked hesitantly.
Her question caught him off guard, and Lianna feared she might have hit a nerve. The boy may annoy her deeply at times and cause her to question his existence but he was staked and shoved in a coffin by his own brother, for god knows how many years; she wasn't all bitchy.
"I can't remember a lot, it was dark, but I was little by little would regain some consciousness." He admitted quietly.
The next seconds were filled with silence until Lianna blurted something out, "I'm sorry." She apologized.
He frowned, "Why are you apologizing, you didn't do anything wrong?" He asked bewildered.
"I know, I just can't imagine what it would be like, being staked by my own brother." She admitted quietly.
He shrugged, "I guess that's Nik?"
"Anway, why don't you tell me some more about yourself?" He asked quickly diverting the topic.
She nodded thankfully, "Umm, I don't know." She admitted.
"What about New York?" He suggested.
She paused and thought hard, "I was born in New York; moved to Brooklyn at the age of four however we visited my grandparents and family endlessly. Mystic Falls is actually the first placed I've lived away from New York." She admitted.
"Why, what attracted your family to Mystic Falls?" He asked intrigued.
She shrugged, "I don't know really, I guess quiet town, fresh life somewhere new, well no doubt probably move back my parents promised it was only temporary. I guess when you're immortal you've got forever to travel, it's nice to settle down, have a family somewhere." She admitted.
He raised his eyebrows, "You're planning to settle down, and have kids here? In Mystic Bloody Falls? Basically in hell?" He shrieked incredulously.
She rolled her eyes, "I don't know. God knows what will happen; anything could happen. I'm just saying, it's nice to move around but it's also nice to settle down somewhere." She explained.
"Yes, I get that, but why the bloody hell, in Mystic Falls?!"
She rolled her eyes, "Plenty of people were born in Mystic Falls; You were born in Mystic Falls!" She resorted jerking a thumb at him.
He rolled his eyes, "Yeah but not by choice." He replied. She rolled her eyes at him. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all…
