AN: I hope you all liked the first chapter and the story so far. I know that I've made Elena out to be an evil b-shark, but I never liked the way she acted when it was all about the doppelganger sometimes. Any who, please remember to review and tell me what you think.
Chapter 2: Real Name
The next morning, Blaire awoke to the door opening and Elijah coming in. He smiled softly at her as she sat up, feeling the ache of her ribs. She struggled to settle against the pillows as he adjusted the pillow so she could sit up better than a moment earlier.
"Good morning little one…how are you feeling?" Elijah asked as she nodded. "Much better…a little sore, but I don't hurt nearly as bad as I did last night or the past two weeks." Blaire smiled. "That is good…are you up for moving around?" He asked. "Yes…but I have nothing to put on." She told him. "Rebekah is letting you use some of her clothes…Niklaus and her will be taking you shopping." Elijah told her. "Okay…what about Elena?" Blaire asked. "I'll be handling that today…don't worry." He promised with a smile, "However, later this evening, there is something I wish to discuss with you…and some of it has to do with your birthmark on your shoulder." "You saw it?" She asked, a little self-conscious. "Yes…someone I knew years ago had one too…It belongs to a werewolf pack in the bayou of Louisiana, just outside New Orleans." Elijah replied, making her look up.
A moment later, Rebekah came in. Blaire looked at him and then the stack of clothing she had. The blonde smiled at her, seeing the overwhelmed look on her face. Elijah took the chance to remove the IV from her hand while she was distracted.
"Don't worry, I won't make you my personal barbie." She joked, making Blaire smirk. "Okay cause Caroline loved to do that whenever I was home." Blaire replied. "Well, I will only do so when you pick a terrible outfit." She teased, making her smile.
"And with that I take my leave…you're free to shower now." Elijah smiled, making Blaire turn to see the IV was missing. "Thank you." She smiled, making him nod.
Elijah left the room as his sister began to show her the different outfits. He could see she was going to be happy when the news was broken to the rest of the family. Rebekah would enjoy having a niece to spoil.
He walked down to see Sheriff Forbes there with the Mayor. Klaus looked up with a smile as he came down the steps.
"How is my niece this morning, brother?" Klaus asked, making Sheriff Forbes turn. "Better spirits than last night…Carol, lovely to see you this morning." He smiled.
"Elijah…Damon Salvatore came to me this morning saying that Elena had sent her sister back to London for dance school…how is she here?" She frowned, making him sigh. "Perhaps we should talk in the study…Blaire does not know yet." Elijah said, making Liz frown.
"How long have you known?" She asked. "My suspicions were confirmed last night…my mother did a bloodline spell." Elijah told her. "So, she is your daughter?" She said. "Yes…like I said, I would rather not talk about this with her in ear shot." Elijah replied, making her nod.
"I'll leave you three to it then…is she up?" Klaus replied as laughter filled the hall. "Yes…just make she has clothing appropriate for her age, Niklaus." Elijah asked, making him grin. "Of course, brother." Klaus replied.
"Come on…we're ready." Rebekah said as Elijah looked at them with amusement. "Alright…first thing is to get this young lady something to eat." Klaus smiled, making Blaire smile. "Fine." She smiled.
They left, leaving the others to talk and handle Elena and the brothers. Klaus just wanted to protect her from trouble and for Blaire to be happy. He also knew that Elijah was going to be happy having her around again.
Meanwhile, Elijah and the other two women sat in the study talking. They could see the anger and hurt in his eyes as he pulled out an old looking envelope with the Louisiana state seal on it.
"What is that?" Carol asked, confused. "This is Angelique's birth certificate." Elijah said, making Liz frown. "Angelique…You mean Blaire?" She asked. "Yes…that is the name my fiancé had picked for her." Elijah replied, making her nod. "What do you need from me?" She asked. "I want her declared dead…I am prepared to leave with her if you need me to for a few weeks." Elijah told her. "That's fine…what did Damon do to her?" She asked. "It's what both Salvatores did to her." Elijah said as Carol frowned.
"Wait…both of them hurt her?" She frowned. "Yes…let me explain it the way I saw from her mind last night…Elena had them both come for her…my daughter was never wanted and I believe that you both knew that she was not biologically her parents' child…I will not let her be harmed any longer." Elijah replied, his tone indicating that he was not tolerating anymore from the brothers.
"I will start on the paperwork…I will need a body though." She said, making Carol frown. "I am sure my brother and my mother can do something about that…there are illusion spells." Elijah replied, making her nod.
While they finished talking, Klaus and Rebekah led Blaire through the mall, getting her what she needed. Blaire smiled, glad that they understood her style. As they walked through the sport store, her eyes found the ballet slippers, seeing the brand-new ones with a smile. Her fingers brushed the soft satin as Klaus came over.
"You're a dancer." He said, making her look up. "And singer…I went to a preforming arts school in London…these are nice." She smiled, making him nod. "We'll get them…Elijah and I think the arts are very important." He told her, making her smile as the saleswoman came over.
Klaus got her to get Blaire's size and a few practice sets that she could use. He was willing to turn the gym in the mansion to a dance studio for her. After all, he had a niece to spoil.
"Thank you." She smiled, making him smile. "It's nothing love…you are now a member of this family…you need to have nice things." Klaus told her, making her nod. "Only time that I got new things is when I started school." Blaire replied. "Well, no more of your sister's hand me downs." Klaus told her.
Later that day, they arrived back at the mansion as Elijah looked up with an amused smile. Klaus on the phone with a contractor, talking about changing the floor in the gym to wood and adding some windows. He chuckled, seeing Rebekah and Blaire with at least twelve bags each and Kol carrying in another six.
"Did you buy the entire store?" Finn asked, amazed. "No brother…She is very much like Elijah and practical." Rebekah said, making him chuckle. "I see that." He smirked.
"Blaire, when you get a moment, I would like to speak with you." Elijah said, making her nod. "Okay…let me put this in my room and I'll be right down." She smiled, making him nod. "Very well." He replied, seeing the smile in her eyes.
Ten minutes later, Blaire followed Elijah into the study and watched him close the door. She suddenly felt like something was wrong as he pulled out a few folders.
"Why do I feel like I've been called into the principal's office?" She asked, making him smile. "You're not in trouble, Blaire…this is actually about your current situation." He said, making her frown. "What do you mean?" She asked.
Elijah walked to the sofa and motioned for her to sit. She followed and sat down, curious about what he had. He smiled at her as he pulled out the first paper, which made her stomach drop.
"These are adoption papers." She breathed, making him nod. "Yes…you're not biologically related to Elena or Jeremy." Elijah replied, making her stare at him with shock. "…How?" She squeaked, almost afraid to know. "You were adopted when you just a few days old…most likely around the time that my father came looking for Elena." Elijah replied, making her frown.
She nodded slowly as he pulled out a birth certificate and a picture that he had. Blaire's eyes widened when she saw that it was her birthday. He saw her eyes slowly turn to him as the realization hit her.
"Oh my God! Are you telling me what I think you are?" Blaire asked, making him nod. "Yes…I did know that you were alive…after you were born, I left to get Niklaus so he could meet you and during that time the entire pack was slaughtered and were missing…your great grandmother and uncle could not find you." Elijah told her, making her tear up. "What about my mom?" She asked, making him take a slow breath. "…Eva was among the killed…we still do not know much about what happened." Elijah replied, making her look at him with tears in her eyes.
Elijah pulled her close to him as she started to cry. He finally had her back in his arms after all these years. His angel was safe again and he would stop at nothing to keep her that way.
"It's alright darling…you never have to worry about being alone again." Elijah told her, making her sniff. "Promise me that I will never have to go back to Elena?" She asked. "Never." Elijah vowed.
Blaire smiled at him as he looked down at her, seeing the love in them. She finally had the love that she had been yearning for since she was little. All her life, she was the extra and not even Grayson had time for her.
"So, is Blaire my real name?" She asked, maki ng him smile. "No…your name is Angelique Rayna Mikaelson." Elijah told her, making her smile. "I like it way better than Blaire." She smiled. "We'll have your name officially changed after you're declared dead…we're going to Paris for a week or so…we'll get more clothing for you and it will give Sheriff Forbes time to get your death certificate to Niklaus." Elijah replied.
She smiled, thinking about that as he looked at her, wondering what she was thinking.
"What?" Elijah asked. "I just realized that makes Klaus my uncle…Damon really can't screw with me anymore." She said, making him chuckle. "He will be pleased to hear that…they all know…I was suspicious when I found the pack mark on your shoulder." He told her, making her nod. "I'm glad you found me…" Angelique smiled, making him nod. "So am I darling." Elijah replied, hugging her, "So am I."
When they came out of the study, Klaus smiled at her softly as she walked over to him. He hugged her tightly, glad to know that she was no longer in the dark.
"And no, I will not let Damon bother you anymore." Klaus said, making her grin to his shoulder. "Do they know yet?" She asked. "No and we'll keep it that way for as long as possible." Klaus told her, "And its good to know I'm not the only wolf in the house anymore."
Angelique smiled brightly at him as he chuckled. He knew that she was going to fit in just fine. Elijah and he shared a look as he handed him two passports.
"The chateau is ready for you two at any time…the bedrooms were just redone." Klaus said. "Thank you, brother, are there still horses?" Elijah asked, making Angelique's eye turn to him with excitement. "Yes…can you ride love?" Klaus asked.
"Bare back, western or English?" She grinned, making the hybrid smile. "All three." Klaus chuckled. "Well, when your crush is the nephew to a Scottish lord in parliament…we went riding in the highlands." Angelique told him, making him smile.
"Wonderful then…we'll leave in the morning." Elijah said, making then nod. "Very well…you should have Rebekah help you pack…she's tickled that she has a niece to spoil." Klaus told her.
The teen nodded before going to find her aunt and have her help her pack all that they just bought. The blonde smiled happily as they watched them disappear into Angelique's temporary bedroom.
"Handle the brothers once we're gone." Elijah asked. "Of course, I'm going to have her bedroom and the ballet studio finished when you two get back…mother wants to throw a ball when you two return." Klaus told him. "Wonderful." Elijah sighed.
By the next night, they were arriving in France. Angelique smiled as she looked out over the beautiful city as the sun set behind Notre Dame Cathedral. She looked to her father, who smiled at her as the plane landed at the private airfield near their chateau.
"Its so nice here." She smiled. "It is…supper will be light, and I promise no snails." Elijah teased, making her chuckle. "Them and oysters are nasty." She shuddered, making him laugh.
A couple hours later, Elijah found her sound asleep in her room. He smiled softly as he lifted her up and moved her to her bed. Angelique
