"No way," Bonnie muttered.
"Wait she was born in Greece?"Caroline exclaimed in shock.
The gang looked at Caroline who gave a sheepish smile.
"Is she hot?" Tyler asked suddenly interested in the conversation.
"Yeah, like a lot. She looks like a literal goddess." Jeremy sighed.
"Is she human?" Matt asked a sensible question.
"Seems like. But she is with the Mikaelson's, so we have our doubts." Stefen answered.
"But she is not a vampire or werewolf or an original." Matt points out.
"How do you know?" Elena asked hurriedly. She didn't want to include her godmother in all the supernatural drama.
"We talked at the ball." He shrugs.
"And you believe her?"Damon asked sipping his bourbon.
"Well, she didn't lie to us yesterday." Stefen got all defensive.
"Maybe a hunter?" Alaric suggested but Elena just shook her head.
"We need to find out information from her." She declared.
"I have a plan. We should call her to hang out with us and then ask her questions." Bonnie suggested. She was trying but often zoned out on what Dike said to her the other day.
"Oh yes, I want to meet her anyway, She has amazing fashion sense." Caroline gushed.
Everyone agreed because that was the only possible diplomatic way to get answered. After she dropped the news of Araiya being her godmother, everyone was in frenzy, Maybe Caroline more than others.
"Wait how are we supposed to contact her?" Stefen asked.
"Mikaelson's house," Elena added.
"As If they will happily give their precious Araiya to us," Damon added sarcastically.
"What is wrong with you today? You are more moody than usual," Elena asked noticing the abnormal mood of the eldest Salvatore.
He didn't answer but just scowled. He was not content that Araiya displayed so much affection to Klaus Mikaleson. He was angry that she chose to go with him. He was angry at the way he looked at her in adoration. He was jealous but he wasn't going to admit it.
"She is coming over in 15," Jeremy said looking at his phone.
"You have her number?" Elena asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, she texted me in the morning asking for my skateboard." He shrugged.
"Wow, She is into skateboarding. cool." Tyler comments.
Araiya tucked her phone in her pocket after replying to Jeremy. She got up from the random bench she was sitting on and grabbed his skateboard. She slowly skateboarded to Salvatore's boarding house while Imagine dragons blasted through her headphones.
It didn't take too long and soon she was standing in front of the boarding house. She unconsciously soothed her shirt which she borrowed from Elijah without his consent. She bit her lip deciding whether to ring the bell or knock.
"Uhh, life decisions. YOLO." She mumbled as she rang the bell. No sound came through and She sighed. Just as she rose her hand to knock, the door was flung open by Caroline Forbes.
"Hey!" She waved nervously.
"Caroline." Araiya greeted her and went for a hug. Caroline stiffened as she didn't expect that before she wrapped her own arms around her. She took a whiff of her hair which reminded her of a lazy afternoon at the beach. They pulled away and Caroline ushered her inside.
Araiya was in awe as she took in her surrounding. She was instantly reminded of the early 1900s and it warmed her heart.
"This is aesthetically pleasing to my architectural soul." She said out loud as she stepped inside the lobby.
She was immediately engulfed by the youngest Gilbert. She ruffled his hair after he pulled away.
"Hey, guys!" She greeted smiling.
"Wow! Jeremy didn't lie when he said you were hot." Tyler stated while checking her out.
"I am flattered Mr..."
"Tyler Lockwood." He smirked. Araiya examined the nephew of Mason Lockwood before winking.
She glanced around recognizing familiar faces and smiled in greeting. She paused at Alaric Saltzman and inwardly smirked.
"Hello, you must be Alaric, Jenna boy toy."
"Yeah-Yeah. You can call me Ric." The teacher greeted in response.
"Well Ric, I can positively assure you that If you hurt Jenna, then Let's just say that Alaric Saltzman wouldn't exist from that day." Araiya smiled sweetly.
"Yes, Ma'am." Alaric gulped. He can't lie that Araiya was surely intimidating and her being with Mikaelsons didn't land her in his good books.
The rest of the gang were dumbstruck. They too didn't know what to say. They expected a lot of outcomes, being killed was one of the tops but nothing prepared them for this reaction.
"So, What are you?" Caroline blurted out suddenly.
"Bold indeed." Araiya praised the young vampire.
"You are not a vampire. A werewolf?" Stefen asked her. Stefen felt drawn towards her in a way he couldn't describe. It was unsettling for him and he wanted to know if she had placed some spells on him.
"I am sure that your friend could tell you that." She said gazing at Tyler as she sat in one of the sofas. He frowned and shook his head.
"A mermaid? I don't know like a goddess?" Jeremy questioned from his place next to Araiya.
"I am many things, love." Araiya corrects as she leaned back and made herself comfortable. It was going to be a long day.
"Like what?" Damon asked drawing attention to him.
"Hmm... Well, that is for me to know and you to ..." Araiya smirks mimicking three dots in the air.
Damon looked amused and just for a few moments he forget that there were other people in the room. It was weird He never felt that before, not with Katerina and not with Elena. There was a connection between them which felt out of reality.
Araiya frowned and shook her head. There was a bigger business to deal with now until his instincts took hold of him. Damon stood up and poured another glass of bourbon. He offered it to the black who took it with a smile.
"Nice taste." She commented taking a sip.
"I have been told that." He smirked.
"Just a little less of vervain and gods did you put wolfsbane in here too?" She laughed clearly amused.
"Damon!" Elena and Jeremy shouted.
"You could have killed her!" Elena yelled.
"But She didn't die," Damon said bored returning to his place.
"I am very much alive, love. " Araiya dismissed following behind him and grabbed his drink instead.
"Bonnie, Do you know that there is a potion called Alihotsy Draught that exists? It causes supernatural beings to go wild and induces hysteria." She said taking another sip. "Damon, Why don't you come over for drinks next time?" She added smirking.
"Haha! Very funny." He said with an expressionless face.
"Why are you with the mikaelsons?" He asked seriously.
"Depends on who wants to know." She replied after giving a thought.
"I want to know," Damon said leaning towards her.
"Only you?" Araiya inquired following him.
"Yeah. Only me." He said shakily narrowing the gap between them.
His eyes darted from her lips to her eyes. He ran his tongue over his lower lip as he stared expectedly.
"GET A ROOM!" Jeremy shouted as he covered his eyes causing the pair to jump back.
"Sure. Which one is free?" Araiya asked Damon cheekily.
"Hmm... My bedroom sounds good." He smirked playing along.
"NO! NOPE! You are not going anywhere YOUNG LADY!" Jeremy pulled her back, scolding her.
"OKAY! WE NEED TO ESTABLISH SOME GROUND RULES! NOT GOING ANYWHERE NEAR DAMON BECAUSE DAMON HAVE VAMPIRE COOTIES. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY GIRLS HE HAD SLEPT WITH?! HE SHOULD GET TESTED FOR STDs. AND TWO BECAUSE HE IS A SALVAWHORE! AND THIRD-" Jeremy started listing off.
"Jer! Chill! I ain't going anywhere." She reassured and Damon's face fell a little but he quickly gave his signature smirk.
"Yet." He added hopefully.
"And besides, I am pretty sure that I outdo in the number of lovers." She added smirking and watched as Damon's eye grew darker.
"Damn! Don't mess with Jeremy."Caroline commented.
"Salvawhore?! I can't!" Bonnie said wheezing.
"C' mon Bonnie, I thought we were friends." The eldest Salvatore said pouting slightly but his eyes stayed fixated on the black.
Araiya bit her lip lightly and watched his lips, not being able to resist the bond.
A little growl came out of Damon and his dark eyes showed all the effect that she had on him.
"What are you?" Stefen asked seriously, breaking whatever trance they had escaped in.
"The legend of the light. Page 554." She answered clearing the wild thoughts in her head and focussing on the task in hand.
"Bearing the card of justice, did they come" She looked at Stefen as she recited.
"Promising salvaus; Promising emancipation." He continued.
"Yet they perished in the flames for the greed that came undone." Damon finished. The three of them glancing at each other. The atmosphere became tense.
"I am certain that your father read this to you several times." She said smiling.
"More like always. He was obsessed." Damon added suspiciously, still flustered from whatever happened.
"Well, It was for a reason. You are unaware of the many realms and kingdoms of the supernatural that exists."
"The realm of Dike," Bonnie whispered softly.
"Realms are made of magic. You are related to magic, in some way." She concluded.
"Isn't every supernatural being? Vampire line started with a blessing from a witch. The werewolves were blessed by the moon goddess and witches still practice magic." Araiya informed.
"Can you stop beating the bushes and Just tell us what you are?" Damon asked irritated.
"Patience, love." She said rolling her eyes.
"I can assure you that I am not a threat." She confessed.
"And we are supposed to believe it?" Matt questioned
"You don't have to. But you will just waste your precious time running after me. One thing, we are always short of is time. I would rather use it wisely." She advised.
All of them sat in silence for a moment. Araiya sat calmly while the rest were consumed by their thoughts.
A car horned outside and she stood up.
"That's my signal to leave." She saluted and moved towards the exit.
Damon and Stefen exchanged a look before blocking the exit. Araiya sighed and crossed her arms.
"Move," She demanded in a calm voice.
"Not before you answer all our questions," Stefen exclaimed.
"Suit yourselves, gentlemen," She said and took a step back.
"Wha-" Damon furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Stefen fall to the ground, clutching his head and screaming in pain.
Before he could react, Damon was thrown to the other side of the room. The others were frozen as they watched Evanore step inside the room.
"We are late," She said bored. Her hands were still covered by red mist.
"My apologies and thanks, darling." Araiya gave her a smirk and joined her in the doorway. She blew a kiss to Damon and waved at the others.
Araiya anticipated something because It all seemed way too easy. She had informed evanore to not block any attacks coming from them. So it wasn't surprising when she found herself against the wall with Stefan's hand around her neck.
"Bloody hell, this is kinky." She commented and gave a shaky laugh as the hands tightened at her neck.
Bonnie had caught Evanore with no defense and placed some spells on her. Even though she could easily break through them, she didn't and awaited the orders from Araiya.
"I don't wish to hurt you Araiya," Stefan emphasized.
"I know, chéri." She said slightly struggling.
She looked over to the eldest Salvatore and smirked as she saw an internal struggle within him. His instincts were strongly fighting against his own will regarding her. Any real threat to her can cause Damon to lose his mind and kill Stefan, which was the most worrying part. But she hoped that this trick would work.
Stefan paused and loosened his hold on the Black. He furrowed his brows in thought and Araiya took advantage of his momentary distraction.
In a second, It was Stefan who was pressed against the wall with Araiya dangerously close to him. Evanore broke the spells and stood guard.
"You are taking my kindness for granted, Stef. You should be glad that I haven't wiped out every single person you care about." She grinned as her eyes turned completely black.
She moved her lips to his ear and whispered something which caused his eyes to widen.
"Don't dare to cross me again." She ordered, placing a light kiss on his cheek.
"I am sorry Elena," She said as she released her hold.
"I would say that I had a wonderful time but perhaps, it is not suited for the occasion." Araiya mocked a bow and walked out of the house with Evanore closely following.
