Chapter 20

Klaus P.O.V

"Tyler, how everything going with the party" I said as I walked through Tyler's backyard, I called him just before and made sure all my hybrids were there helping out. You will be surprise how fast vampires can get things done.

"Good, I think everything will be finished on time" he said while helping put something up in the corner. I knew everything would be done on time; we had so many people helping out.

I walked through the backyard and looked at what was coming together, it had only been a couple of hours ago I was on vacation with the woman I loved; now I am organizing a death party for my father. Everything is so stressful in mystic fall, even when there is nothing major going on; the atmosphere is so different from other places. I thought about Andrea and what it was like to spend those two days with her and how she made me smile every time I saw her, I just hope she doesn't come tonight because for some reason I knew something was going to happen.

Andrea P.O.V

I pulled in to the drive way of my home, I drove around for a while to waste time just in case people saw both Klaus and I arrive back in town at the same time. I was going to walk through the door like I always do but I heard some chattering coming around the side, I quietly walked round just in case my brothers saw me and asked why I was home, I wasn't planning on seeing them till later tonight. I was going to keep going but I stopped suddenly, I couldn't believe I was looking at him again, I just kept saying to myself that it couldn't be him, it couldn't be the man that apparently killed me, the person that didn't know I didn't die. I kept staring not knowing what to do, should I run, should I go confront him, I just didn't know what to do. I was even more shocked when I saw Elena and Rebecca talking to him, I walked a little bit closer to try and hear what they were saying. I was about to faint when I heard the person name, it was Michael but how could that be? He was meant to be dead? Well that's what Klaus thinks. I didn't realize what I was doing but I had turned myself round and started running towards the only place I knew that I can feel freedom, the bush!

I ran for ages stopping every once in a while, to wipe my tears or to get more of my crying out, I couldn't control myself. I didn't know what to do, I reacted more than I did when I saw Stefan and Damon again, but there was one thing I did know what to do, I had to tell Klaus that he was being played by my own brothers. I know I said I wouldn't get involved but I couldn't stand back and watch him die like that. I decided to go and warn Klaus, not to tell him everything that I have seen, just to tell him that Michael is still awake and moving about, but I was till late, I arrived at the party and saw the scene before me going ahead, I ran towards a bush so that I was a little bit closer so I could hear the argument. Damon had a hold on Klaus who was looking dramatically into his father eyes. You could see the fear and sadness in his face. Michael had a hold of Elena and was telling Klaus that he would kill her. I saw that all the hybrids were behind Michael. I didn't know what to do, I wanted to run in and help but who would I help, Klaus or Elena. Klaus looked to the side of Michael and saw me, he saw me crying from the bush, I was going to run forward but Klaus Face told me not to. I looked closely into his eyes and saw that he was trying to tell me something, I trailed down to his lips and I saw that he faintly mimed the words "I love you", it was tiny that no one noticed it or that he was even looking past Michael. I wanted to say something but within seconds Stefan comes running in and jumping on Damon. Elena who turns out to be Katherine flips Michael, It happened all so fast, then all of sudden Klaus had stabbed Michael. Klaus hovered away from Michael again he glances at me and gives me a look that tells me I shouldn't be here, I take one last look and begin to run home in the bush hoping to clear my head from what I just saw.

I have been standing in the lounge room for the past couple of minutes, my brothers are still out, Damon is probably trying to strangle Stefan, but I know Stefan he would only do that if he knew one of his friends were in danger. So I stand with some alcohol in my hand and try and work this all out. For one I know Michael is dead, 2: I know Klaus deep down does care for me, 3: I am one step closer till being with Klaus. I was about to take another sip of my drink when I heard Damon and Elena coming through the house, of cause he and Elena were furious with Stefan. They stopped in mid-sentence when they saw me standing in front of the fire.

"What are you doing home, thought you went away for a couple of days" he said while putting his hands on his hips. I was caught off guard but luckily I had thought of a lie before I came back home.

"Well, I was with some friends and they kept going on about how some guy called Michael was dead, but I also heard Katherine was coming back, so I decided to come home and see what was going on, it's not like my brothers ring me or anything" I said while placing my cup down on the coffee table before beginning to walk towards the stairs, I had no intention of staying around and chatting.

"Well by the looks of it, this thing didn't work out" I said, before they had a chance to reply. "And by the sounds of it, Stefan is the reason for that" I said while beginning to walk up the stairs. Damon and Elena didn't say much, I heard a few small grunts but that's about it. I could tell they were both really pissed off at the moment and didn't really care about what I was saying.

"Look Damon, whatever happened tonight and you blaming Stefan, you know he does everything to protect his friends, so he must have had his reasons." I said entering my bedroom, before closing the door behind me. When I was within the safety of my room, I took a minute to calm down. I knew that the only way I could do that was to write to Emily and get everything I wanted of my chest.

Dear Emily,

I haven't been in mystic falls any longer than a couple of hours and the war has already started again. I don't know which side to be on, yeah Klaus has done bad things, but so has my friends. Who should I trust? Can I trust anyone? My holiday was wonderful even though we only spent a night there; someday I could see myself living like that one day. I need your help not as a witch but as my friend, and need advice who should I turn to? I keep looking at my brothers seeing them turning away there humanity. I just need to talk to someone.

Love Andrea

I woke up to the sounds of arguing something I was used to. All I could hear was Stefan telling Damon that he has stolen Klaus coffins. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, this couldn't be happening. I couldn't hear where here had hid them, all I knew was that he would of hid them hard for vampires too get to.

A couple of days had past and I still couldn't find where he had hid them. Klaus hadn't talked to me, I guess he was trying to keep up the act between us. The other day everyone had a confrontation. Klaus came over and started arguing with Stefan about his coffins. Elena and the girls stood behind while Klaus, Damon and Stefan argued even getting into a physical argument. I came out of my room after thinking something crashed into the house. Again everyone stopped when I was at the bottom of the steps. Stefan and Damon just glared at me like they didn't want me there.

"Andrea maybe you should go back upstairs" Elena said while coming towards me. They think I am a little baby.

"Why, do I have to go" I said as I looked around the room, everyone just glared at me even Klaus did.

"Just go" Damon said sounding angry at me.

"No, I don't get this, I am not a little girl I have been around and alone for nearly 50 years, so stop treating me like this" I said before storming out of the house. I was so over all of this. I waited out in the woods till Klaus and his hybrids had gone. Stefan and Damon left shortly after that, I had no idea where they were going but I knew they weren't coming for me. Elena, bonnie and Caroline then left after them, I knew they were doing this because they were probably trying to confuse Klaus but I knew exactly which person to follow. I knew bonnie was the only one who would have the access to the coffins, I followed her for a while till she went to the old witches house, I immediately knew this is where they must be holding them. I waited till she had left; she was pretty quick left only after 1o minutes. I hesitated for a while weather I should go in, I hadn't been in there for so many years.

After a while It was time, I knew they would let me in because I was half witch but I knew some weren't happy about and they let me know it. It didn't take me long to find the coffins, I knew bonnie would of done a spell to hide them so it was quick to undo the spell. I couldn't believe how many coffins there were, I just knew had to tell Klaus. I didn't want him to know it was me, so I just left him a note telling the location. After all he did deserve his family back.

I didn't want to go back home just yet, I knew my brothers would want to have a loving family talk. They would say all this nice stuff and maybe pay attention to me for a couple of days but then it will go back to being the same. I went to the grill instead, I really felt like drowning my sorrows at the bar with all the other sad people. I was surprised to see Tyler there drinking alone, that was the best thing about being a vampire you can compel people to give you alcohol.

"Hey Tyler, what are you doing here all by yourself" I said while sitting down at the booth across from hi. He just smiled while putting his hand up to get me a Drink.

"Haven't seen you in a while, thought you must of left town" he said while taking a sip. Tyler and I had become really close before Klaus came. It was good because he wasn't that involved with the whole Katherine situation.

"Nah, I just went away for a week, there were so much drama around here" I said as the bar tender came and gave me my drink, he ordered just what I wanted, something very strong.

"You want to go play some darts" he said as he got up. We started playing darts for a while, it was really good to do something human and fun and not worry about all the Klaus Drama. Even though it was fun I still was really bothered about it all and I guess it showed on my face.

"You don't have to answer but is something going on between you and your brothers" he said as he passed me the darts for my go. I was really surprised that he asked that question.

"Nah why do you ask" I said as I threw my darts, all landing inches away from the bull eye. He took another sip while I came and leaned on the table that had our drinks on it.

"It's just that they don't seem to pay attention to you, they never really seem to worry where you are and all. Like if you were my sister and I had just got you back after 30 or odd years. I wouldn't let you at of my sight" he said while smiling, it actually made me smile knowing someone else noticed besides me.

"Yeah well there is a lot going on with Elena and stuff, they are probably just busy, I don't mind it's not like I haven't been alone before" I said while looking down at my drink. It was hard to talk about it to someone else besides writing it to Emily.

"Yeah tell me about, it has taken over our entire life. But they could still take time to hang out with you, like catch up with things. What's new in your life" he said while picking up the darts, I beat him in the other game but he still wanted to play another game.

"Well it was my birthday the other day, I went away to hang out with friends" I said as I turned round and watched him play darts. He was a vampire to so he also got very close to the bulls eye. He suddenly stopped what he was doing when he heard me, his mouth dropped with shock.

"What it was your birthday, when? Why didn't you or your brothers" he said while being still in shock. I just laughed at the face he was giving me. I looked back down, not knowing what to say

"Well my brothers didn't remember, I guess they were tired up with everything" I said still looking down at my drink. "But it doesn't really matter I have had so many birthdays, it's not the same anymore" I said still wondering why I was trying to justify them not remembering.

" you shouldn't make excuses for them, they could have said happy birthday or something, so tonight I am taking you out it's not every day that someone turns 160 something" he said while raising the glass, it seemed he had already had too much to drink.

He took me to a club just outside of town. It was fun we drank heaps and made bets with people. Knowing we were going to win. We spent a lot of the night talking about Klaus and how we kind of felt sorry for him. We also agreed that it was hard putting our lives on risk to protect Elena. We actually had a lot of things in common. He also told me he was going for a while to get unsirred to Klaus and promise not to tell anyone. I knew I wouldn't even though I was in love with the guy and all. I had to admit that I was a little bit drunk while going home. Tyler made sure I got home safely; he said he was worried that Klaus might kidnap me to get back at Stefan. I just laughed knowing deep down that Klaus wouldn't harm me. I again walked into an angry household, the first thing I heard when I stepped into the lounge room was Stefan going off his head because Klaus had found the coffins and that there was only time to get one coffin out. I was happy that Klaus had gotten his family back but I knew if my brothers found out that I was the one who told him they would hate me. I walked through the lounge room not paying attention to anyone.

"Hey there, how was your night" Stefan said while turning round to face me. I was surprised that they even said anything since I left the house abusing them.

"Alright just hung out with Tyler, what about you guys?" I asked trying to hide that I wasn't completely sober. They looked at me and I think they could notice.

"You know the usual, had dinner with two originals" Damon said using his sarcastic smart ass voice. I was shocked when he said that. I began to walk closer actually getting interested in what he was saying.

"Wow so now we have 2 originals in town, how are you going to deal with that" I said while placing my things down on the couch. At this stage Stefan had sat down on the couch while Damon stood in front of the fire.

Stefan got up when I said that and began walking towards me. "No actually we have 5 originals which will become 6 originals soon that we have to deal with" he said while playing with his hands. I think he was trying to act concern because he knew I was friends with Kol. My face loosened up when I found out the family was awake that meant Kol would be around the town.

"Ok Cool, more excitement in town" I said while beginning to walk up stairs. Stefan began to quicken up his pace and I knew he was trying to catch and stop me.

"Andrea, look we know you were friends with Kol but we don't want you to hang out with him, those originals are dangerous we just want to protect you. He said while grabbing my wrists and turning me round. I was beginning to annoy me.

"Look I get it that you are trying to protect, but you aren't doing that you are destroying me. If you want to protect me try actually wanting to hang out with me because all you guys are doing is making me miserable. I said while pulling my wrists back and walking off to my bedroom. They just stood there in total shock; I was beginning to wonder when they would get the point. I climbed up on my bed that night and didn't know how to feel, was I angry or happy. All I do know is that history is defiantly repeating itself.

Dear Emily,

God I didn't so many things could happen in a couple of hours. What I thought was actually going to be a good night, turned into me having another argument with my brothers. I don't get how they haven't seen that I am upset with them and my life. I found out that Klaus killed his mother and that is the reason why he has been running, I don't how to feel, I feel angry at him but I also can't help but think it is none of my business to judge him, he must be getting enough from his family. At least one good thing comes from it, Kol is awake maybe we can become friends like we use to. I haven't told Klaus that I and Kol were friends; I actually don't know how he is going to react to the news. I know Klaus is terrorising Elena and her family and that Klaus is the guy that I love, but I care about Elena and Jeremy and I will protect them no matter what.

Love Andrea.
