Carol was dead. The students were forced to attend a memorial service, which was really dumb considering it wasn't a town thing, no, it was at the high school where students who didn't know anything about the woman had to sit and listen to sad stories about her and how great she was.
The whole time I had just been staring at April Young, who had narrowly missed me murdering her the night of the Christmas party.
The only thing stopping me was a call from Ben.
I had been inching towards her, telling her to back the hell away and put the dagger back in or there'd be hell to pay when the phone rang. Not that I didn't want my aunt back, but even I knew not to mess with the daggers. It was family business and if anyone interfered, they'd be on the Mikaelson's bad side. No one played around with the Original family. Not even a little wide-eyed dark eyed human bitch that seemed to serve no purpose except for messing shit up.
I had groaned and pulled the phone out of my little purse and glanced at the caller I.D. I debated not answering, but something inside me thought, what if he ended up thinking I was cheating? And then I thought of Sam, my stomach flipped over, and I answered.
"Where are you?" he asked.
"Um…" I bit my lip and shot a quick menacing glance to April. "I went for a walk. Quick breather. I'll be back in a bit."
"Oh." There was a pause. "Okay…I'll see you soon…Love you Ads." He added at the end.
My face softened and my heart broke as it panged with guilt. "Love you too." I hung up immediately after that, realizing I was unable to say his name aloud.
"Who was that? Your boyfriend? That runningback or whatever at the school?"
Could this bitch mind her own business? God. Next thing I knew, she could be asking where Ben got his daylight ring; (Claire had connections apparently by the way).
"Mind your own fucking business April. I should murder you right now, but sadly, I have to get back to the party or my boyfriend will come looking for me. And I could compel you, but I'd rather leave you with this warning…" I stooped down to meet her eye level. "If you end up being the root of any problems that should arise with the revival of my aunt, I will hunt you down, and murder you with m y bare hands. Are we clear? You saw what my father did probably…so kindly just don't mention anything you've seen here tonight to anyone else…or there will be hell to pay, and many will die…Now, we don't want others dying because you couldn't keep your mouth shut…now do we?"
April shook her head, and I smiled sadistically. "Good then. Goodbye April. So glad we finally had a chance to chat." And then I was off.
As far as I could tell, April hadn't told, which meant she knew what was good for her.
After the service was over, I began looking for some friends of mine who seemed to have gone missing when I heard my aunt from the library.
I went through the doors, letting the doors make a loud bang, and asked what the hell was going on when I saw who was seated at the table. I had overheard Elena's confession of loving Damon to Stefan, and looked at Stefan's face before turning on my aunt. "That's enough Aunt Bekah."
"But it's so much fun Adeline!"
"Just because we can compel normal vampires doesn't mean we should use it for silly things like this! Let them go, you've held them here long enough."
Just then Aunt Bekah got a message on her phone and walked calmly over to show me its contents.
My eyes danced with amusement at this though. That would be much fun indeed.
So, Uncle Kol appeared with Doctor Shane. The spooky and creepy guy who to me seemed a tad pedophilic.
When he wouldn't give my relatives any answers, me, who had been waiting just outside the door, screamed, just loud enough for him to hear.
"What was that? Who?" he hurried out past them and found me, lying on my side, crying, begging to be released from compulsion and to just be able to go home.
"You'll be okay, what's your name-"
"Should've done better research Doctor." I sat up and punched up, just for the fun of it. I cornered him back into the room, and said, "That's for just being really creepy, and because I just don't like you."
"Wait- but- who?" he sputtered.
"The Original who was never meant to be. The illogical one. The one whose existence is impossible yet happened anyway. The Original Daughter."
His eyes widened. "I read, I heard about you, but I never thought the stories could actually be true-"
"Oh shut it. You're giving me a headache. Can I go at him now favorite niece? You got to punch him first, no fair."
"One, I'm your only niece, and two, knock yourself out." I smiled and Aunt Bekah and I left together. I came back with my aunt later, and Shane mentioned him wanting to resurrect Silas, which caused a violent reaction from my uncle. I begged Uncle Kol to tell me who this Silas figure was, but he wouldn't budge, and Aunt Bekah said she thought it was only stories…so I was left in the dark as they talked. Everyone ended up on teams for the cure, and I found myself on Uncle Kol's team. I didn't know who Silas was, but if he was so bad that he would frighten the Original family, and then he should obviously stay dead. The cure wasn't worth whatever the price of raising Silas was.
