Family Drama
Andrea P.O.V
I went over to Klaus's house the next morning, I was meant sleep over last night but the party between Caroline, Damon and I went really late and they all crashed at my new house.
"Hello, anyone home" I yelled as I walked through the house looking for someone, I had the newspaper in my hand and the mail from the mail box.
"Andrea, it is good to see you. You are just in time" Elijah said as he came down the stairs, I went in and embraced him in a hug.
"it's good to see you as well, but what is going on" I asked as I pulled away, Elijah gestured me to follow him through to the dining room, that's when I saw Rebecca, Kol and Klaus or siting round the table. Rebecca didn't look very happy but I knew she didn't like being in the same room as her brothers.
"Morning Love" Klaus said as his face softened when I walked through the door.
"Morning, he is you mail and newspaper. Sorry I didn't come over last night got caught up with showing Damon and Stefan my new house" I said as I smile and gave him a kiss on the lips before sitting next to him.
"Have fun" he asked as he smiled and took my hand. "Yeah you know just spent the night talking about how lucky I am to have you and how you have to stop spoiling me like this" I said smiling and giving him flirting look before he kissed me hand.
"Other people in the room" Rebecca commented as she watched Klaus and I all lovely lovey.
"Just because you can't get the high school quarterback" Klaus commented back just like a big brother.
"Sorry Rebecca. Hi Kol" I said as I smiled at her then glanced at Kol I could tell he was angry as well. Now I defiantly knew something was going on I could feel the tension in the room.
"Okay seriously what is going on" I asked concerned, I knew they hated each other but I wanted them to become closer now that there mother had died.
"where here to discuss what we are going to do with the cure, now we are going to go around the table and you are all going to make an argument about why you want the cure and what you will do with it" Elijah said as he sat at the top of the table, you could so tell he was the brother and father figure of the family.
"Why am I here exactly," I asked, I didn't know why I was here I was only dating Klaus this was a family matter.
"As I have told you before, you are family and you are very much involved with this cure" Elijah said as he gave me a small smile. I didn't know what to say I was glad that I was considered family but I all agreed with why they wanted the cure for themselves.
It took a while but they all finally told everyone why they wanted the cure, Rebecca wanted to be human, Kol wanted to destroy Sileus and Klaus wanted to take it and bargain with Sileus for my safety.
"Andrea your go" Elijah said making everyone turn to look at me, I was very surprised and taken back by what he just said.
"What, no… I am not getting involved with this, sorry" I said as I shook my hands, i didn't want to be in the middle of all of this.
"Andrea you are part of the family, now who would you agree with" Rebecca said as he gave me a bitchy smile, she just put me in a situation I didn't want to be in.
"this is hard for me, I am best friends with Kol and Rebecca, Elijah you are like an older brother and Klaus I love you more than anything but you honestly can't ask me to say which one I would go for" I said making them all listen. I knew they all understood.
"Because honestly I agree with all of you" I said making everyone look up in a surprise face they weren't expecting that.
"You do" Rebecca said as her voice turned more calmly now.
" yeah I do Rebecca I know how much you want to be human and you have lived most of your life in fear you deserve to have what you want and if you want to be human than you should have that choice, but then I agree with Kol if he takes the cure than we can kill Sileus but there is a possible that will lead to opening the other side up bringing more supernatural into this world and then lastly I have stick by Klaus, and even though I don't want him to go to all this trouble to protect me, I know Klaus is smart and he is always one step ahead of people, but he is the guy I love and I promised I would stick by his side, so I can't really chose, I guess it's up to you Elijah" I said looking at Elijah I knew he understood where I was coming from. I want this whole thing just to disappear.
" fine I am going to go with Rebecca only if you can promise me that you can be human for whole night starting from now" he said as soon as he said that Klaus and Kol went into a yelling fit.
"What you have to be kidding me" Kol yelled at Elijah getting and throwing his chair back, I knew he was going to be very angry.
"Klaus and Kol in some way you both want the same thing, which is Sileus dead so I am sure you can out your heads together and find another way" Elijah said trying to control his temper, I knew he didn't want this to escalate and begin fighting with one another. I looked at Klaus and could see he was angry but I thought he would be acting like Kol but he kept his cool. I leant over and squeezed his hand.
"Klaus are you okay" I said softly into his ear, he just squeezed my hand to reassure me, but I think he was a bit pissed with me. After watching and trying to calm down Kol, I hadn't noticed that Elijah had left the room.
"Andrea you have a visitor" Elijah said coming back into the room everyone looked up listening to Rebecca and Kol fight I hadn't even heard the doorbell ring but Elijah probably got there before. Caroline and Bonnie stepped in from behind Elijah, it was only about an hour ago that I was with Caroline and she was happy but now she was in tears.
"Omg Caroline what is wrong" I said as I jumped from my seat and wrapped my arms around her, she just buried her face into my chest.
"sorry are for interrupting whatever is going on here but can we talk to you, it's about Elena" bonnie said as she looked around the room.
"Yeah sure we can go into the lounge room" I said as I pulled Caroline out of the room with bonnie following, she knew something was going down in the other room, but everyone knows not to get involved with the Mikaelson's family troubles.
"What has Elena done now" I said as I sat Caroline down, she was so upset I could see it in her eyes. She didn't deserve to be upset today, she has spent months trying to get this night perfect and she deserved to enjoy. Bonnie didn't say anything, she just grabbed her phone and handed it to me, that's when I saw that Elena had sent Caroline a photo of her wearing the dress Caroline was going to wear, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, why would she do something like this.
"What a bitch, she knew how much Caroline loved that Dress" I commented softly, Caroline had spent a lot of money on it and she knew from the moment she put it on that it was going to be hers. I glanced up and saw Caroline was getting worse from the comments I was making, even though it was a massive deal I knew how to fix it. I wasn't going to let Elena spoil Caroline or Bonnie's prom.
"Don't worry, I have a plan. Wait here a second and I will be right back" I said as I got up from the lounge, I knew what I had to do. My plan was to give them the best Prom ever so firstly I had to find Caroline a dress that made her look more beautiful than Elena.
Klaus P.O.V
I was in the middle of having a heated conversation with Elijah, after he sided with Rebecca. I couldn't believe it he put Andrea's safety after Rebecca's stupid request to be human.
"Yes, it's that simple. Without the cure, what makes you think I'll spare your beloved Katerina? Or have you figured out you're simply another fly in her web?" I said angrily at Elijah, I wasn't being the Klaus that I had come to like, I put my evil mask back on and became Klaus the Original Hybrid.
"You will spare her because I am asking you to spare her. As your family, as your only living brother, I would ask that you provide me with this opportunity to feel, to care. To love. Just like you have been given since being with Andrea" he said calmly back at me, I knew he was right Andrea had turned me into a different person and he wanted to have the same with Katerina.
"I gave you that opportunity. And you sided against me. So if I run, it'll be to chase her. And as your only living brother, I will make it my cause that you never know a moment of happiness." I said quickly, the words just came out and before I realized what I had just said Elijah had a face of shock on him.
"It is such a hollow little life that you lead, Niklaus." He said as he walked over to me, I thought he would have gotten really angry and thrown me against the wall, but he just placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me sad and disappointed look. I wondered why he wasn't overreacting or fighting back but he just walked out of the room but not before glancing at the figure standing at the door. That's when I looked and saw that it was Andrea, horror came over me wondering if she had heard our conversation, I have never really let her see that side of me.
"Andrea what's up" I said trying to cover up that Elijah and I were just fighting, she snapped back into reality.
"Um don't worry, it looks like you are busy" she said, she shook her head and tried to leave the room quickly, I knew she heard what I said to Elijah. I used my vampire speed to get in front of her and stop her from going any further.
"Andrea, I know something is up, so what is wrong" I said, I knew there was a little bit of anger in my voice but I wasn't angry at her I was just getting over the fight with Elijah
"um Elena stole Caroline's dress so I was wondering if we could have a look at all the dresses you have kept over the years and see if there is one suitable for her" she stumbled out quietly, I couldn't tell if she was angry at me or if she was just surprised that she had seen that side of me.
"I don't see why that should be a problem, I will just go get the keys" I said as I walked off, I thought about and I don't know why she was so upset and what I had just said to Elijah, Katherine did kill her and her brothers.
"thanks" she said as she gave me a small smile and walked off, I watched her go get Caroline and Bonnie, I could tell her attitude had changed since seeing Elijah and I.
Andrea P.O.V
I was horrified and shocked at what I just saw between Elijah and Klaus. I never really have seen that side of him, I knew he was like that towards the group but I never thought he would say that to his own brother.
"Okay Caroline don't panic I have a plan, now come with me don't worry you are going to look like a princess" I said as I put on my happy face. I grabbed her hand and lead her upstairs.
"Um what is going on Andrea" she asked, I could tell she and Bonnie had gotten a little bit tense after they saw Klaus come towards us.
"Don't worries trust me; you are going to look gorgeous. I promise to make this a night you both will never forget" I said smiling at her. We were now all standing in front of a door and waiting while Klaus opened it with his keys.
"so I know you don't have time to go to the shop and get a new dress and we both know you can't wear the same as Elena so the store comes to you" I said dragging her through the these two big doors, bother her and Bonnie looked very confused but when Klaus turned on the light all I heard were gasps as they realized they were standing in a massive walk in wardrobe surrounded by 100s of dresses and clothes all from different Centuries.
"Omg how many dresses do you want" bonnie said as she twirled and looked at every inch of the wardrobe. I just laughed at her little comment.
"It's like being in a shop" Caroline said as she walked over to some of the racks and looked at the dresses. "How did you get these?" Caroline asked.
"Well when you have lived as long as I have you tend to get things given to you and they just come in you procession so you tend to get in a habit of collecting things" Klaus said from the back of the room, I knew he had these dresses because when we first met I used to where them to places.
"So there must be a dress in here suitable for you tonight" I said, as soon as I said that Caroline head quickly turned to me, she had the biggest shocked and surprised face.
"Are you kidding me they would be worth thousands, I can't wear one of these" she said as she continued to look through the racks. I just smiled at her, and started to help her look through them.
"I will leave you guys to it, just remember to lock up when you are done" Klaus said as he took one more look at me.
"Thank you" Caroline said softly as she watched Klaus walk out the door, it was the first time she had actually thanked him. I was thankful that he was being nice and considerate but I just couldn't shake of what I heard between Elijah and him.
We looked through the racks of the dress, someone was really old but there were also some that were worn in the 80's and 90's. I told them stories of some of the dresses and how some were worn by real princesses. I think this made Caroline more happy and astonished that she was going to be wearing one of them. After Caroline, Bonnie and I all agreed on a dress for Caroline to wear, I told them I will mind this and that I want them to go home and get the things you need for tonight, I had one more surprise for them to hopefully make this the best night of their life, besides every girl had to be treated like a princess, but I needed to get to leave so I could organize the final preps for tonight.
" here are the keys, I locked it all back up" I said as I walked into the study, Klaus was in the room just sitting and painting, I knew I wanted to bring up what I had seen but I knew I had to leave it between the brothers. It wasn't my place to say anything. So I just placed the keys on the table and began to walk out.
"Andrea I know you heard what I said to Elijah and I know you aren't happy about it." He said making me turn round, I didn't want to argue but I needed to know how he could say that to him.
"Why, why say that to him" I said as I stood there, I knew I hated Katherine but Elijah was a lot like me and he saw a different person to everyone. One that was able to be saved.
"Are you really saying this after everything Katherine has done to you and your brothers, you are really going to let her be happy" he said with anger in his voice. He got up and stormed towards me.
"No I don't want her to be happy but I want Elijah to be happy and you should too after all he is your brother" I screamed I promised myself I wouldn't get angry but I felt bad for Elijah.
"My brothers promised not to kill you because they know how much I love and they just want me to be happy. You should let Elijah be happy as well after all your happy he should have the chance as well just like Rebecca and Kol should to whatever that includes " I said calming down a little bit, I didn't want to argue not tonight.
"But I am not angry, whatever is going on between you two stays between you two. I was just a little shocked that's all" I said as I took a step forward towards him.
"I am sorry, that's a side I didn't want you to see" he said softly I could see the hurt in his eyes. I took another step and took his hands into mine and led him to the lounge.
"That who you are and hey I am not angry, I know that is you and after everything you have been through I understand it more" I said, I straddled his lap and he looked surprise but I didn't want him to think that I was angry at him.
"I just don't want to lose you" he said softly, I placed my forehead on his and softly stroked his chest.
"I truly care for you Klaus, your mistakes never change my feelings because it's my mind that gets angry but my heart still cares and always will, baby you don't ever have to change for me because I will always love you for the way you are" I said as I looked into his eyes, I could see that my words were getting through to him and they were comforting him in some way.
"But just think about Elijah because he deserves to have love someone just like we have each other" I said as I kissed him, I needed him to know that I was there for him as well, and that I loved him for who he was. He kissed me back and held him close to him; I could see he was crying a little bit. I was really getting through to him.
"Thank you, I love you so much" he said softly as we partied for a bit, but then we kissed again and it was like it was the first time I kissed him.
"I don't want to, but I have to go" I said as I chuckled under him, he laughed at what I said. I tried to escape but he just pulled me even closer.
"Babe, I have to I am sorry" he laughed as he tried to keep me with him and it turned into me wrestling him.
"If you don't want me to leave than you could always come to Prom with me" I said struggling to get away, I could see Klaus enjoying this.
"Fine, I will see you when you get home, if you need me to pick you up than just call" he said as I got free, I just gave him a funny look as to why he just said that, I was a vampire after all.
"Well isn't that what normal boyfriends are meant to say" he said as hesmiled at me.
"Yes but we aren't normal are we, I will see you when I get home. Love you" I screamed as I walked outside the study. I went into the other room to grab my stuff.
"Need some Help" Elijah said behind me, I didn't even realize he was there.
"Thanks" I said as I gave him a smile, he followed me towards my car, I had a lot of things to make this afternoon perfect for Caroline and Bonnie. We didn't say anything as he placed the things in my car; I knew he was still upset with what Klaus had said. He turned to walk back inside.
"Elijah" I said making him turn round, I could see the hurt and sadness in his eyes.
"You know someone once said to me that the first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don't want. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest but then each step forward gets easier and easier and each step forward gets you closer and closer until eventually what had once been invisible starts to be visible and what had once felt impossible starts to feel possible. I really think you should think about what you want and if you know Katherine is going to be that person that makes you happy and love again than don'let anyone stop you." I said as I looked at him, I wanted him to be happy.
"Yeah but Klaus is family, if I leave he will chase me down and dagger me than I will not have a life to live" he said, I could I was getting through to him but I just needed a little bit more.
"I won't let him, because he knows that will hurt me if he does. Look it might make you guys not talk for a couple of years or so but hopefully in the future you guys can put it behind each other and move on." I said, I took a step forward.
"Look I haven't told anyone but a couple of weeks ago Klaus brought up the subject of our future and he said that one day he wanted to start a family and getting married and live the family life. He knows I want the same but I told him the only way we are going to do that is that if he lets go of the bad hybrid image and that we sort things out with our families, so we can have our sibling around us" I said, he just looked at me in shock, I guess ever heard that side of Klaus before.
"Wow, I never knew that. Like he talked about it when we were human and how he always wanted to start his own family, but I haven't heard that side of him for years." He said as he placed his hand in his pockets, I knew he knew what I meant and what I was trying to get through to him. He knew that the only way Klaus and I were going to have a future is if we end this fighting with our families.
"What happens If I do, than I will lose the family I have ever known" he asked as he looked at me, he really wanted my opinion.
"But hey you never know you might be able to start your own family one day and hopefully your siblings can be happy that you have found someone to love for the rest of your life." I said as I jumped into my car, I knew I had to leave but I felt bad for Elijah. He walked over and helped me close the door, he leant through the window.
"Thank you, hopefully one day I can find someone as incredible as you, Klaus if very lucky and I am glad that you are part of our family" he said as he gave me a kiss on the forehead. He was genuine and kind and I knew he was going to find someone one day.
I smiled as I pulled away for the driveway, I knew Klaus wasn't going to be happy if he found out what I just said, but I didn't care I could handle him, and Elijah deserved to be happy.
