AN: Its my 21st birthday tomorrow so be nice and leave me a little review for my birthday! ;) Hopefully the way I'm incorporating Antonia into the story without it being too off the story line.
Antonia eventually got Klaus to sit down and actually explain what had happened everything from arriving to find his family in their coffins gone to a timely call from Stefan. As much as Antonia despised Stefan she couldn't understand how stupid he was taking Klaus' family.
They both just sat on the couch in silence shook by what happened. "Come" She stood jutting her hand out to Klaus who still looked legitimately panicked. It wasn't just the big bad Hybrid in front of her right then but the concerned brother.
Klaus had confessed to her as they sat a while ago that he never had someone even be able to lay eyes on the coffins ever and to have someone be able to swoop in and steal them right from under his nose really shook him up in two ways; obviously his defense wasn't as good as he thought, and the possibility that he could possibly loose his family, this time for good!
Klaus took her hand standing up with a huff as he just stood there holding her small hand in his stroking the back of her hand with his calloused thumb. Antonia smiled at him then turned pulling them towards the kitchen.
The Hybrid allowed himself to be guided by the sway of her dress distracting him for a moment.
The swaying stopped making Klaus look up to see Antonia holding out a blood bag to him as she leaned over to the counter reaching for a mug.
"Please" She encouraged as Klaus just stood there looking at the blood bag in disgust.
The two stepped foot onto the pavement outside of the Grill.
"Why are we here?" Klaus asked with clear annoyance in his voice. "I doubt Stefan will be here celebrating stealing from me"
"That is true but that's not why we are here. Stefan brought your family into this why not bring his?" Antonia said flipping her hair over her shoulder striding to the door walking in.
In the Grill Antonia waited a moment allowing Klaus to catch up before picking a table across from the pool tables. The place was bustling with people for a Saturday afternoon.
"Buy me a drink, preferably a long island iced tea and I'll tell you what the plan is" Antonia said leaning on the table resting her chin on her hands.
"That I can do." Motioning for the waitress Klaus ordered her long island iced tea. As the waitress walked away Klaus turned back to Antonia, "You never did tell me about how you cooked up the whole Katherine plan. I'd like to hear about that plan too"
She smiled at him as the waitress as she set down her drink leaving them alone again.
"Yeah I never did get to tell you about that did I?" Taking a long sip, she watched Klaus watch her waiting for the story.
"No, you didn't. Care to share?"
"Like if it was really that easy for someone to kill Mikael I would have assumed it would have been done a long, long time ago right? So, I got 'Rin to pretend to be Elena so if anyone tried to use the doppelganger as leverage against you which I had a feeling Mikael would do, they wouldn't really have any leverage if they didn't know it was Katherine you know? So, then I got Katherine to pretend to want to help Damon so he would think he would know about the plan and not try to save "Elena" which is also how I knew for sure Mikael wasn't dead" At that Klaus opened his mouth no doubt to be angry about how Antonia didn't tell him that his father wasn't dead but she held up her hand stopping him giving her a little break to take a sip.
"I needed your emotions to be real we couldn't risk having Mikael know something was up. Katherine had the wolfsbane grenades to keep back your Hybrids who I knew through Katherine via Damon were compelled. The rest just fell into place as I thought it would although you can't try to kill Katherine anytime soon as I may have fibbed and said you'd stop trying to if she helped"
"I knew Katherine wouldn't have helped out the goodness of her heart when she so clearly doesn't have one"
"That was rude and insensitive" Antonia snapped back at him.
"When did you even have time to do all of that?" Klaus asked avoiding her flaming gaze"
"When you went out with Tony to burn the Wickery Bridge, I was supposed to be planning the party but hey your girl can multi task" She shrugged as if helping take down one of the most dangerous men in the world was nothing but a simple day's work.
"We'll have to discuss this no killing Katherine business later but you are bloody amazing but crazy, my love." He shook his head in sheer disbelief at her plan and his ignorance of anything that night.
"Yes, yes I know it was crazy but my plans are always fool proof, if there's one thing I've learned being with 'Rin for so long is how to plan and make sure my plans go exactly how I want. Now back to the present plan" Antonia said taking Klaus' hand in hers.
"My girl" he mumbled to himself.
"What?" Antonia asked looking up as she twirled her straw around the ice.
"You said 'your girl'. I like the sound of that; mine" His crocked smile making Antonia blush in response.
With perfect timing Tony slid into the booth on Antonia's side. Klaus' face quickly flashed confusion then anger.
"I don't remember inviting you" His low voice hinting at his anger that his Hybrid had interrupted their moment.
"I asked him to come. When you told me, you had him follow the doppelganger I thought he would be perfect to help convince Damon to get his brother to return your family."
Tony said quietly dripping in nervousness at his Alpha's reaction which was cut short by his mate.
"I-"
"Let me explain please" Her hand touching his hand begging for him to give her a chance. Klaus gave her a short nod of approval to continue "Now go tell Damon and Elena that they are now tasked with making their brother give back your family, I mean don't tell them that exactly but they need to get on Stefan to do the right thing or heads will roll or something like intimidating like that." Jerking her head in the direction of Damon and Elena over playing darts by the pool tables across the restaurant.
Their tucked away little booth had kept them hidden from sight of the two locals. Klaus followed her motions with his eyes and spotted his targets. His eyes narrowed before relaxing realizing he knew what to do, be the big bad Hybrid that he was. Antonia stayed back and worked on finishing her drink letting Klaus go ahead.
Only a few moments behind, Antonia took her time draining her cup she got up and followed right along with Tony.
"You're going to do this in the grill, in front of everyone?" Antonia heard Damon ask Klaus as she got closer. "It's a little beneath you don't you think?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with my mate and my girl" Klaus said taking a few steps closer to Damon who had come between Klaus and Elena as if that would stop him from doing anything.
Antonia walked up the few steps leaning on the banister behind of Tony who was a step above as Klaus moved revealing them to the duo. Klaus had sent Tony out earlier, when he was on the phone, to follow Elena. Tony followed Elena jogging eventually running into her making her think she was paranoid when he acted like he wasn't actually following her. It was almost immediately that the color drained from Elena's face as she recognized Tony.
Looking over his shoulder at his Hybrid Klaus asked "Get us a round of drinks, then Tony?"
Leaving Antonia to be finally seen fully as Damon and Elena's eyes followed Tony's retreating figure. Damon saw her asking Klaus, "What did you do, steal Katherine's pet?"
"Watch it Salvatore" Klaus took a menacing step forward his eyes glowing gold. Noting the change, Elena grabbed onto Damon's arm as if to keep him from poking the Hybrid further. "Do not disrespect my girl like that again"
Damon just glared back in response refusing let his fear show. "I'm surprised you stuck around town long enough for happy hour"
"My sister seems to be missing. Need to sort that out." Antonia was glad he took her advice in not just spilling the beans of his coffins going missing too.
"Cute. Blonde bombshell. Psycho. Shouldn't be too hard to find"
Antonia came up the few stairs left coming to lean against the banister assessing the doppelganger, comparing her to Katherine.
"Truth is, I've grown to rather like your little town" The Hybrid admitted walking aimlessly. Thinking I might fancy a home here" Antonia's eyes shot to Klaus at that, she hadn't really thought about the future; where Klaus or maybe where they would live.
Klaus plucked the darts from Damon's hand as he continued, "I imagine you're wondering how does this affect you. The answer is not in the slightest. As long as I get what I want and everyone behaves themselves you can go on living your little lives however you choose. You have my word" He told them as he made his way behind them. Klaus turned to give a fake heartfelt look.
"What more could you want?"
Coming into Elena's personal space Klaus said, "Well for starters, you can tell me where I might find Stefan"
"Stefan skipped town the minute he saved your ass" Damon interjected.
"Well you see that's a shame" Klaus looked at Damon becoming deadly serious before turning back around to nail the dart right in the bull's eye with a thud. Looking back at Damon he said, "Your brother stole from me. I need him found so I can take back what is mine"
Elena found her voice boldly saying, "Sounds like a Klaus and Stefan problem"
Damon quickly found himself between Klaus and his brother's girl. Klaus smirked seeing how the elder Salvatore was so protective, "Well consider this me broadening the scope, sweetheart"
Antonia pushed off from the banister coming to stand on her own as Klaus' eyes fell on her his grin grew bigger. Elena turned around to look at the other girl,
"How can you be with someone like him? Do you even know what he's done?" Elena spoke quietly but her words were sharp.
Antonia didn't react at first only a tense smile graced her face as she watched Klaus stand up a little straighter at Elena's words.
"You don't know me nor do you know my relationship, I would advise you to mind your business and get going on finding Stefan" her tone was calm but Klaus saw the anger bubbling underneath the surface trying to come out, the anger that werewolves innately have the reason they trigger the curse. Insulting her mate was making that anger Antonia felt surge within her fighting harder to get out than normally.
Her shoulders rolled back, and her head tilted just enough that the anger was clear, or at least it was to everyone other than Elena who took a step toward Antonia.
"Do you not have a conscious, he's evil!"
"Elena" Damon warned as she continued to get closer taking another step. He grabbed her elbow but Elena twisted against it trying to get into Antonia's space.
"You look exactly like Katherine but wow you are so much stupider" Antonia laughed out shaking her head planting her hands on her hips.
Damon yanked Elena back to him when Klaus moved to Antonia thinking he would go after her. Elena looked annoyed at the girl but a firm look from the Salvatore kept her quiet.
"For the final time I will suggest that you start searching for Stefan otherwise who knows what might happen" Klaus said as his hand snaked around Antonia's hip who still looked like she wanted to bash Elena's head in. While Antonia's body physically relaxed her eyes bore into Elena's who wasn't looking as upset as she was.
Just as it looked like Damon was going to say something Tony came back up the stairs, "Klaus?"
"Perfect timing Tony" Klaus commented as he guided Antonia to start walking down the stairs, turning before Klaus himself went down the stairs he said to the duo, "Damon, Elena, hopefully Stefan can join us next time, wouldn't that be a pleasure?"
