Chapter 8: The heartbreaking Goodbye

Elijah's POV:

Everyone sat in the living room tense.

"There is a very good explanation as to why Jason GIdeon disappeared for such a long time, and that being-"

"He died." Kol finished as I glared at him.

"What it's true lets not cut corners. Jason Gideon died and became a vampire and now he's in my poker club." Kol said as Aaron and his team looked up confused and panicked.

"We're taking it slow Kol, we're not dumping it all out on the table like that." Rebekah responded as Derek raised his hand.

"Yes Derek?" I said patiently as he looked at Gideon.

"So what you're saying is he's a vampire?" He asked as I nodded.

"Technically speaking besides Freya, we are all either full blooded vampires or at least partially vampires." I responded as JJ raised her hand.

"So those murders that were going on were done to try to flush out the supernatural?" She asked as I nodded.

"Raiden worked at a bar that is highly populated by witches werewolves and vampires in New Orleans, someone killed his sister a few weeks back. She wanted to be turned, and it didn't end well, and she died. He blamed our entire world for her death." I tried explaining as Spencer raised his hand confused.

"H-how?" I looked to my siblings and sighed.

"Now that is a long story that doesn't really have a happy ending."

"It doesn't have a happy beginning either." Kol said soberly sipping his bourbon.

"He's right about that, but our story begins long ago." I began quietly looking at my siblings.

"First you have to know our mother loved us all very much but she also had her faults" i could see Nik out of the corner of my eye rolling his eyes.

"We were all living in a village alongside the werewolves that lived there at the time. Every full moon we would lock ourselves in our house to keep out of their way." Nik stood and sighed.

"I and our younger brother Henrik snuck out one full moon to watch the wolves and Henrik was attacked. I-it was my fault. He was killed, if I hadn't been stupid, and wanted to watch the wolves go from their human forms into the forms of beasts our baby brother would still be alive." He said through gritted teeth as tears rolled down his face. Rebekah squeezed his shoulder reassuring him as I took a breath.

"Nik brought Henrik's body back to our home the next morning, and we mourned the loss of our youngest brother, but our mother couldn't bear the thought of losing any one of us, so she did what she could to make sure none of us would meet an end like Henrik's." i looked at Angel knowing this is where it gets hard for her and Nik.

"Our mother was a very powerful witch, she did a spell to make us immortal, To make us stronger in a way. She made us drink a potion, and then our father Mikael ran his sword through us all. When we woke up our father forced us to drink the blood of my first love Tatia. We were told we had to drink her blood to survive, and survive we did. She bound our lives to a rare species of tree, the one type of wood that can kill us, the white oak. When our father found out he burned the last white oak tree to the ground, centuries later we found that pieces still existed, meaning although we are immune to other types of wood, there are stakes out there that can kill us. When our mother, the original witch turned us into vampires, she also turned our father too, in a way protecting him, but at the same time haunting us for eternity." I said looking at Kol, Nik, and Rebekah as they looked down shuddering.

"Our mother turned our father into an immortal vampire hunter, and he tracked us down intending to kill each and every one of us for the past thousand years, until finally we killed him." I said looking down. Kol leaned back and smirked.

"He deserved it too he was horrible. Like after Angel and Nik killed for the first time, and we found out that they were part werewolves." Kol said as Spencer looked down at the floor his entire body shaking.

"Even though their father is not our father, we have stuck by our siblings even though they get on our nerves some more than others." Rebekah added eyeing Klaus.

"When our father found out our mother had an affair he was furious he made our mother place a curse on Nik. Well Nik and Angel to subdue their Werewolf side." Nik looked at Angel.

"Well it was supposed to be both of us but somehow it didn't work on Angel." he said and Angel shrugged.

"My best guess is that since i'm a tribrid my witch side didn't let the spell work on me." she said and i saw Spencer tense up.

"Anyway our father abused both Nik and Angel even before we found out about the affair but after it only became worse." i continued.

"After mother turned us into vampires Nik had an argument with mother, and it ended with her death. That day we buried her, and the five of us stood over her dead body, we made a promise to each other that we would always protect each other, always and forever. We have kept that promise to this very day even though it hasn't always been easy." i looked up just as Spencer stood and started to pace.

"But that doesn't explain how Gideon is a Vampire." JJ said and i nodded.

"I should let Kol explain that part since he knows more about that whole thing."

"What is there to explain he faked his death." Spencer snapped and everyone turned to look at him surprised.

"Actually that's not what happened Spencer." Kol said and stood up.

"What happened to him that day really did happen. He was shot by Donnie Mallick, which killed him but he died with vampire blood in his system. You see Angel and i had been passing through Virginia that day and we ran into Jason. He told us what was going on and i guess he figured out what we were somehow so i gave him some of my blood on the off chance he might need it." Kol explained and Angel nodded.

Angel's POV:

I had looked up and over to Spencer as Kol had finished and noticed he had stopped pacing and was now playing with the ring i had given him just a few hours earlier and i started to worry about what was about to happen.

"Spence?" i asked as i walked over and he looked up looking hurt but also angry.

"You guys are horrible. Vampires can't be real there's no proof they are!" he started to shake a little and i backed up a little shocked.

"Gideon is proof we are real you saw proof of magic the night i made you your necklace, but i would never hurt you or let anyone else harm you. I love you more than anything." i said as i held his hand. He pulled his hand away as he walked away from me.

"No! I'm not going to stay here! This is Crazy! You are all Crazy!" i try not to show how hurt that statement made me feel as i stood in front of him.

"Spence its ok we can work through this you don't have to go. Please i-i love you."

"No! I'm not going to stay here and let you and your siblings use your vampire abilities on me i will not be another one of your pawns!" he yelled taking off the ring i gave him and i felt the tears start to fall down my cheeks.

"D-don't do this please Spencer we can work through this." i pleaded through my tears. He shook his head and walked past me placing the ring on the table and he walked out the door. I broke down in tears and ran up the stairs to my room sobbing feeling my heart break into a million pieces knowing the one i love now hates me.
