Here's next chapter.

I own nothing.

It's been two days since Niklaus and Stefan left town, but there was no sign of the "Mystic Falls" gang. From what Arabelle gathered from Katerina, the gang has three vampires, a human and a witch. Not to mention, the werewolf that Damon Salvatore rescued. She almost met everyone. And she was very careful not to mention her last name.

She was yet to meet the witch. For some reasons, the witch has not been to school for these two days. And she was sure, the moment she saw her, she would recognize her. Arabelle silently thanked the spirits.

She always wondered if the Bennett bloodline continued after Ayanna's daughter was lost at the sea. And now she has the proof that the line survived. Ayanna must have been watching over them. By the looks of it, she was sure that the girl doesn't know her family secret. Had she known, she wouldn't be there to hurt Niklaus.

With all these thoughts, she entered the Grill, silently praying not to run into Damon Salvatore. As she entered, she went straight to the bar and sat on the stool. Matt, the human boy of the gang was there.

"Scotch, please" Arabelle said as Matt approached.

"ID?" Matt asked.

She was one thousand and twenty four years old, for God's sake. But she could hardly say it in the public, could she? She pulled out a fake ID from her purse and showed him.

Matt frowned as he handed her the scotch. Honestly, she didn't care. She was here to drink to oblivion to process what Ayanna had told her. The more she thought of it, the more she got confused. Why him? Why it had to Damon 'Irritating' Salvatore? She was nursing her scotch with her thought, that she didn't notice someone sat next to her.

"Bourbon, quarterback"

Arabelle closed her eyes briefly as she cursed every living being in the earth. Wonderful, she thought. Why it had to be him to be here, next to her? She slowly put the glass on the counter, careful not to look at him. She could feel the pull. It would best for both of them if she left before he decided to open his big mouth.

"Ah! Isn't it the youngest Original" Damon did decide to open his big mouth.

She masked her face with annoyance, which she mastered after nearly a thousand years, and turned toward the raven haired vampire who was to her greatest and deepest annoyance smirking at her. "Want to say something, Salvatore?" she asked in her perfect English accent.

Immediately his smirked dropped and he had a serious look on his face. "Where did your brother took mine?" she asked menacingly.

"I am wondering the same thing, Damon. My brother is in out of coverage area for two days and I haven't heard from him since he left town" Arabelle replied not bothering to hid her irritation. "And you don't scare me, Salvatore"

He looked at her, his eyes boring into hers. "Let me know when you get a hold on him"

It was not a question and she was well aware of that. And that unfortunately did not sit well with Arabelle. "If you are so desperate why don't you have your witch do a locator spell"

Damon tightened his jaw, his hand crushing the glass. "I tried. But they were protected by a powerful witch" he murmured.

Had she not been a vampire she could not have caught up on his words. And Arabelle did not need to know who that witch was. She, of course. Though no one knows of her magic except for Niklaus and the spirits. Niklaus was far too protective that he never allowed her use magic. Even when they were so desperate. That did nothing to stop her from using the magic without his knowledge. Niklaus never knew of this and she dreaded the day he would learn that his little sister was sneaking with her magic.

She could never mistake him. The first time she used the magic, she was out for two days, despite the fact that she was an Original. Though she grew stronger in the mean time, he was far too afraid and protective to allow her do magic. Even after thousand years.

"They will be back soon. Don't worry" she said as she moved to get the hell out the Grill.

Damon suddenly gripped her wrist.

She looked up at him questioningly.

"Will he hurt him?" there was a certain vulnerability in his eyes. She could understand the desperation. So she answered him truthfully.

"He won't. I give you my word. When he comes back, your brother will be in complete control over his bloodlust" she said.

He smiled at her. A genuine smile. But something kicked at her as she remembered about the Petrova. "In the meantime, don't you have a doppelganger to woo?"

And she went out of the grill, leaving a shocked Damon behind. She couldn't understand why but her jealousy taken over her and she acted like a jealous teenage girl. But she didn't regret what she said.

Ayanna was right. Every woman in the Petrova line had men wrapped around their finger.

And Elena Gilbert was no different.

Alright. To say that Damon Salvatore was confused was an understatement of the century.

First, he found her the moment he walked into the Grill. It seemed she was deep in thought and to have her attention, much to his own dismay, he had to order a drink, whether he wanted it or not. And then she slowly tried to avoid him and run out of the Grill as she did yesterday. And he started to talk, with his cocky attitude. He knew he shouldn't have started like he did, but he had a reputation to uphold.

And then she looked like she was annoyed with him, but a nagging voice inside him said it was only a mask. So, he asked the first question that came to his mind. He expected some kind of smug remark but what she said confused him. As far as he knew, even Lexi couldn't make him control the bloodlust, but the Original said he would be perfectly in control of his bloodlust.

And somewhere along the line he was very scared, though he did not show it outright he knew that she knew, that Klaus might hurt his baby brother. They might not get along, they might fight like dogs, but that would never stop him from rescuing his brother whenever he needed to be rescued.

And secondly, there's the attraction he felt toward Arabelle. It was just a physical attraction, or so he told himself. But what she said before leaving the bar hurt him, for unknown reasons.

Yes, he was in love with Elena. But he wasn't sure of the fact now, after he looked into her eyes yesterday. There was pull, a connection, an electrifying one he felt when looked at her. He felt like she was the only woman in the whole world. He wanted to spend the eternity with her.

But he never felt this with Elena. Yes, he loved her. But it was more like a temporary one, he never felt like living the eternity with her like he felt with Arabelle. Too bad that she was Klaus' little sister.

Yes, he would die for Elena. But was he in love with her anymore? He wasn't sure.

Then thirdly, Caroline. What he did to her when she was a human was not right. He was selfish and furious that Stefan was the one to get the girl always. He didn't regret it then. But now, he was furious at himself for what he did to Caroline. She was innocent. He used her insecurities to his own advantage. He might not have said it out loud but he wanted to do at least one thing right by rescuing Caroline from being sacrificed. She deserved to live.

And above all else, his baby brother was God knows where with a monster. He felt like all the walls are closing on him.

He wanted to clear his mind and with that thought he ordered another drink.

Whatever Arabelle said, he was not going to woo Elena. Because, he was most definitely not in love with her.

The three powerful witches of the Bennett line were watching over what just happened in the Grill between Arabelle and Damon.

Ayanna wanted to know what kind of person Damon really was. Vampire and Human. So she invited Emily, who knew him as a human and Sheila, who knew him as a vampire with her.

From what she gathered from Emily, Damon was lonely when he was human. His Father always hated him. But he was very protective of his baby brother, Stefan. It seemed even now he was protective of him. She only wished, both of Niklaus' missions would be accomplished when he returned.

And from what she gathered from Sheila, he was a very ruthless vampire. And also she learnt what he did to Caroline Forbes. Ayanna was furious. She wanted to punish him, but he seemed to be regretting it. It was a punishment enough for his actions.

But apart from all that he was nice enough man for Arabelle. His actions toward the vampire Rose was enough for Ayanna to see that he was not ruthless monster like he wanted others to see. It was only a façade.

She wondered what Niklaus would do when he learns this.

Caroline and Bonnie walked into the school straight toward their locker. Elena was very weak after the ritual, and Bonnie stayed with her to make sure she was alright. Caroline wondered what happened to her best buddy.

"What is she doing here?" Bonnie asked in a low voice.

"Who?" Caroline asked her baffled.

Bonnie nodded her head toward their locker. There stood the new student who introduced herself as Arabelle with her books.

"She's Klaus' sister" Bonnie replied.

But Klaus was not in town. He left after the ritual was over, taking Stefan with him. But what was she doing here. In their school, no less.

Bonnie walked toward the locker furiously. She stopped as she stood directly across Arabelle, Caroline right behind her. "What are you doing here?"

Arabelle raised an eyebrow and looked at Bonnie, "Going to school. What is your problem, witch?"

'Uh-uh, cat fight started', Caroline thought.

"I am not asking that. What are you doing in my town?" Bonnie asked as she gritted her teeth.

"Your town, huh? When did this town became your personal property?" Arabelle shot back.

Bonnie looked straight into Arabelle's eyes as if she was trying to give an aneurysm.

But the Original stood there with hand on her hips and a smirk laying her lips. She laughed throwing back her head. "It won't work on me witch. You may as well stop doing that"

Bonnie stood there with confusion etched in her eyes. Caroline decided to break their staring contest before they attract audience. "Bonnie, we are getting late" she said as she took her hand and pulled her toward the classroom.

"How is it possible?" Bonnie asked once they reached the classroom. For their relief the classroom was devoid of students. "It affected Elijah. How com it not affect her?"

"I don't know, Bonnie" Caroline said carefully. "Maybe the powerful that was providing cover for Klaus might be the reason"

"That's a possibility. We must find the witch. She might be his secret weapon" Bonnie said.

Niklaus was furious. For some reasons the werewolves he tried to turn were dying. He completed the ritual. He was a hybrid now. His blood was supposed to turn the werewolves into hybrids. But his attempts were failing.

If he want answers he must go back to Mystic Falls. But before that, he must welcome someone back from their coffin.

He opened the lid of the coffin, and undaggered the blonde girl. "Welcome back, little sister"

Slowly the color returned to her face and she opened her emerald green eyes. She shot up with a gasp.

"Rabekah" Niklaus said.

She slowly turned toward her brother, "Nik" she whispered.

And all of a sudden she pinned him against the wall with her hand squeezing his throat.

"How could you?" she asked with her gritted teeth.

"You acted like a brat, Bekah. What do you think I must have done?" he asked. "And I broke the curse"

All of a sudden her hand left his throat and she squeezed him with a warm hug. "I am so happy for you, Nik" she said. "Where's Belle?"

"We are going to see her. But first you must shop for the clothes. You smell horrible, Bekah" he said as he dramatically backed from her.

She glared at him, "And whose mistake was that?"

He just shrugged.

Please don't forget the reviews.

So, Damon Salvatore was not in love with Elena. I am relieved. I am not an 'Elena Gilbert' fan.

And now the most annoying of the Mikaelson siblings was undaggered.

And speaking of, the last episode of 'The Originals' really was nice. I can't believe that she was the one to seek Mikael for her own selfishness. I can't really understand the girl. one minute she was romancing with Marcel and the next she was kissing the wolf-man.
