Here's next chapter friends.

I wrote this in accordance, so that it can coincide with the previous chapters.

Again, I own nothing, but Arabelle Mikaelson.

Please, leave your comments.

Arabelle was sitting on her bed when her phone buzzed alerting her that she had a call. The screen flashed with the name 'Niklaus' on it. 'Ah! Just the person I wanted to hear from', she thought as she pressed the 'Answer' button.

"Niklaus" she said.

"Belle" he said.

Something about his voice made her worry. "What happened?"

He hesitated for a moment. But she waited patiently. She knew he would tell her once he calmed down. "I can't make hybrids" he whispered.

"What?" she asked.

"I don't know what went wrong. I mean, the ritual was a success and the doppelganger was dead. I was supposed to make hybrids. But they are not surviving the transition." He said.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Fifteen minutes to Mystic Falls" he replied.

"Meet me at the Mystic Falls High school" she said and cut the call.

She knew what was wrong. Thank God, the doppelganger was still alive. She changed her dress in a vampire speed and went down the stairs.

In ten minutes she reached the Mystic Falls high school. Exactly, five minutes later a truck came to a stop. Niklaus hopped out from the driver seat while a blonde came out from the passenger side.

"Belle!" she almost shouted as she crushed her in her embrace.

Arabelle smiled. "It's good to have you back, Rabekah" she said as she looked at her sister's green eyes. "I missed you, sister"

She looked up at Niklaus. "I think I know what went wrong" she said.

Niklaus was beyond furious. The doppelganger was still alive. Obviously Arabelle has been trying to call him, but she couldn't get hold of him. He walked down the corridor with Arabelle leaving Rabekah to watch over Stefan.

And yes, Stefan had lied to him.

He had removed the compulsion he placed over Stefan in the '20s at Chicago. And he thought that he would respect the friendship they shared then, but apparently, that's not the case.

His hybrid sense picked up on Elena's voice and he stopped on his tracks. Arabelle stopped as well and sent a silent question. He just smirked in response.

Which in Niklaus' dictionary, Gotcha.

They waited a few seconds until a door on their left opened and Elena walked out of with a smile. She stopped dead when she saw him.

"There's my girl" Niklaus smirked.

"Klaus" she said as she looked between him and his sister. She tried to move but Niklaus blocked her way.

"You're supposed to be dead. What am I gonna do about that?" Niklaus caught her elbow and dragged to the gym.

"If you are going to kill me, do it soon" she said.

She had no idea how much angry he was. "Oh I would. But painfully, though"

He could sense Arabelle trailing right behind them. He could count his youngest sister to calm him when he was angry. But the fact that she didn't try to intervene said that she was furious herself. So he reminded himself that he must not be theatrical like he used to be. The last thing he wanted was a very furious Arabelle.

As soon as they reached the gym, he ordered the senior students to leave saying that the prank night was over.

"Where's Stefan?" Elena asked. "What did you do to him?"

"Stefan's on the time out" Niklaus replied.

And soon enough the Bennett witch and a human boy showed up.

"Bonnie! Get out of here" Elena shouted.

Bonnie looked shocked. He can't blame her.

Niklaus moved with his hybrid speed and was behind her in a second. Bonnie gasped. "Ah, I was wondering when you would show up" Niklaus said. "Now we can get started"

Arabelle moved in her vampire speed to stand behind Bonnie, trapping her between them. She gave him a smile which made him relax knowing that she was there for him.

"I assume you are the reason that Elena's walking around still alive?" Niklaus asked.

"That's right." Bonnie replied. "If you want to blame someone, blame me"

"Ah there's no need for blame, love. Just your witchy interference seems to cause some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I want you to find a way to fix it" As soon as he said those words he heard Rabekah entering the gym with a boy, who he assumed to be the werewolf. "I would like you all to meet my sister." He gestured toward Rabekah. "Rabekah. A fair warning, she can be quite mean"

That earned a chuckle from Arabelle.

"Don't be an ass" Rabekah said as she pushed the werewolf toward him.

"Leave him alone" Elena said as he put his behind the werewolf's neck.

"I am gonna make this very simple" Niklaus said. "Every time I try to make a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. That's quite horrible actually" He fed the werewolf his blood and he looked up at Bonnie, "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake. You better hurry" he then broke his neck. Tyler's body fell on the floor with a thud.

"Was that even necessary, Niklaus?" Arabelle asked. Her voice clearly disappointed.

"They needed some motivation, Sweetheart" He tried to convince her. But he knew she was far from convinced.

"He killed him" the human boy said.

"It's not that. He is in transition" Elena said as she paced.

"And if Bonnie's successful, he will live through his transition." He said as he looked at Bonnie. "Go on. Fetch your grimoire, chop sticks and what not and in the meanwhile I will hold on to Elena for safe keeping"

Bonnie and the human boy ran out of the gym, obviously to find a solution.

And Rabekah decided to annoy him. "So this is the latest doppelganger."

"Don't be mean, Rabekah" Arabelle warned her.

But she ignored Arabelle, "The original one was much prettier"

"Enough Rabekah" Niklaus said as he tried to shut his bratty sister, "Take the wolf boy somewhere else, would you?"

She smiled at him and dragged Tyler's body out of the gym.

"Just ignore her" Niklaus said to Elena.

"I still can't believe you undaggered her. Kol was much better" Arabelle said obviously very tired of their sister's attitude.

"No need to rub it, Belle" Niklaus said, "I am actually regretting it already"

Then he waited, waited and waited, for the dramatical entrance of Stefan Salvatore. And Stefan did not disappoint him.

"Come to save your damsel, mate?" Niklaus asked.

"Came to ask your forgiveness. I pledged you my loyalty" Stefan said as he took a step toward Niklaus.

"You broke that pledge once already" Niklaus replied.

"Elena means nothing to me anymore. Whatever you ask of me, I will do"

"Fair enough" Niklaus walked near Elena. "Kill her"

Stefan just stared at him.

Oh, he's gonna enjoy this. "What are you waiting for? Kill her!" Niklaus said.

"No! Stefan, don't. You're not gonna hurt me. He already said that—"

Niklaus lost his patience. He got one more chance to test the depth of truth in Stefan's words. So, he slapped Elena right on her cheek and she fell down on the floor by its force.

"No!" Stefan shouted and rushed toward Niklaus only to be stopped by Arabelle's hand squeezing his throat.

"She means nothing to you" Arabelle said sarcastically. "More lies piling up" Arabelle pushed him and he ended on the floor.

"Let her go. I will do whatever you want. You have my word" Stefan said.

"Your word doesn't mean much" Niklaus said.

And Rabekah chose that moment to enter the gym, shouting. "Where is it? Where is my necklace?"

"What are you talking about, Rabekah?" Arabelle asked.

"She has my necklace. Look" she handed him a mobile phone.

There was a picture of Elena and Stefan. Elena was wearing a necklace that belonged to Rabekah, which they lost in Chicago. "Well, well" he said as he handed the phone to Arabelle.
"More lies"

"Where is it?" Rabekah asked menacingly.

Arabelle moved so that she was standing directly in front of Rabekah. She put her hand on her shoulder to prevent her from acting irrationally. "Sister" she said in a soothing yet warning tone, which Niklaus was all too familiar with, that indicates she was not ready for the crap.

"I don't know" Elena said. "I don't have it anymore"

"You're lying" In a second, Rabekah pushed Arabelle aside and buried her fangs in her neck.

Niklaus pulled Rabekah away from Elena, who fell on the floor as Arabelle went to help her sit. "Knock it off, Rabekah" Niklaus was seething with rage.

"Make her tell me where it is, Nik" Rabekah shouted at him.

When he turned around, he saw that Arabelle was feeding her some blood. The look Arabelle had on her face told him clearly that she was not amused with Rabekah's outburst.

"Where's the necklace, Sweetheart?" Niklaus asked Elena. "Be honest"

"I am telling the truth" Elena said. "Katherine stole it"

"Katerina" Niklaus said, "Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace, it will make things whole lot easier for your witch. But since we are doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" he said gesturing to the big digital LED clock. "Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't find the solution, I want you to feed on Elena"

Niklaus and Rabekah went out of the Gym.

Arabelle was not happy about what was happening. If Bonnie doesn't find the solution, Elena would die. But she could not tell Niklaus that Elena's blood was the key to make hybrids. He must figure it out himself. Ayanna was very insistent that she does not tell Niklaus about that.

But she could not reverse the compulsion Niklaus had on Stefan. Niklaus' compulsion was strong, so she must place a stronger compulsion than his.

She had only one option, witchcraft.

But she could never use it. Niklaus would be furious if he finds out that she was using magic.

So she decided to do only one other thing that came to her mind. With that thought she moved toward Stefan and grabbed his face between her hands. "You will do everything to resist killing Elena" she compelled him.

When she turned around, Elena was gaping at her. "Why are you doing this?"

"You will know soon enough" Arabelle replied and turned toward Stefan, "Have you been able to control your bloodlust?"

"Why do you ask?" he asked her.

"I don't know" Arabelle replied, "Maybe it was for the fact that my brother was hell bent on making you to control your bloodlust when you both left town, because he doesn't want you to live the rest of your life with guilty and self-pity, even though you don't remember him"

Stefan chuckled unamused, "For someone who wants me control the bloodlust, your brother did a fantastic job" he said sarcastically.

"Well, that was how he came out of his Ripper-self. Constant supply of blood made his vampire side to resist the blood." Arabelle replied calmly. "Did it work?"

"I think so" Stafan said almost sincerely.

Soon enough Niklaus returned with the happy news that the werewolf, Tyler, survived the transition and compelled Elena to go to sleep.

Finally, Arabelle thought.

Soon they reached the hospital and compelled the staff to take Elena's blood. They were outside the hospital, waiting. Niklaus was pacing, Rabekah was sitting on the hood of the car while Arabelle was standing with her arms crossed over her chest as she leaned on the car.

She was not alright with hurting the innocent girl who was unfortunate enough to born as the doppelganger. But with Niklaus and Elena, she would always choose her brother. He spent thousand years in pain. If it makes Niklaus happy she would do anything.

Plus, this was a carefully executed plan by the spirits and she could not jeopardize it.

"So the doppelganger isn't the problem. Her blood is the solution" Rabekah asked rhetorically.

'Uh-uh,' Arabellethught, 'Rabekah opened her mouth, now all hell will break loose.'

"Seems so" Niklaus tried to answered casually. But Arabelle knew better.

"How did you know?" Rabekah asked.

Arabelle heaved a sigh. This was going to be one hell of a conversation.

"You know how much the Original witch hated me" Niklaus replied. There was a hint of pain and hatred in his tone. "So I do anything of the opposite she says"

"Thousand years in the grave and she's still screwing you" Rabekah said.

'Rabekah', Arabelle groaned internally.

"Ah, it makes sense if you think about it in her perspective. She wants me to fail in case I break the curse. The doppelganger have to die in order for me to become a hybrid. But if she dies—"

"—Then you can't use her blood to sire yourself a new species" Rabekah completed the sentence.

"Leaving me alone for a long time" Niklaus said with some hidden sadness.

"So, it's what this is about? Your obsession for hybrids. Just don't want to be alone"

This time she did make him angry and uncomfortable. She didn't know where Rabekah was goin with this conversation. But none of their siblings understood Niklaus' need for creating hybrids like she does. "Rabekah" Arabelle raised her voice in a warning.

Rabekah smiled at her apologetically.

"I just want to take my girl, take my hybrid out of this one pony town." Niklaus said as he looked at Rabekah. " Look why don't you… why don't you get the truck. I'll go get Elena" he stuttered.

Rabekah slid down the car and went toward their truck.

Arabelle wanted to make her brother comfortable. The conversation with Rabekah clearly made him weary. She took his hands into hers and smiled at him. "Hey… don't listen to her. Whatever you want to do, I'll always be there with you. You know that right? Always and forever"

Niklaus smiled at her.

Enter Damon Salvatore. 'Just the person I wanted to see', she thought sarcastically.

"Ah! Look who finally decided to show up to the party" Niklaus said with a smirk as he turned around to face him.

"Where is she?" Damon asked. There's no need for the name, they knew he meant Elena.

Well, that hurt. He didn't even look at her.

"Elena? Ah, she is making a donation to the medical cause" Niklaus stopped Damon as he tried to push past him. "I won't let you interfere, mate"

"You'll have to kill me" Damon said.

"It's not about killing you, but I made a pledge to your brother. And unlike him, I keep my word"

Arabelle let out a sigh of relief.

"Although, you know what. Thinking about it now, I don't care that much"

Arabelle gasped as Niklaus pushed Damon on to the car with a hand crushing his throat. "Niklaus, let him go"

"I know about your friend Mikael" Damon said in between the breathes.

"What?" Arabelle gasped with her hands on her mouth. But both men ignored her.

"What do you know about Mikael?" Niklaus asked him.

"That he knows you are here" Damon said.

"You're bluffing" Niklaus said.

"Katherine and I found him. Consider that a leverage" Damon said.

Niklaus pushed him away and turned toward Arabelle.

Damon used that moment to escape. But he was the least of their worries. For now.

"What are we going to do, Niklaus?" Arabelle asked. Fear clutching her heart tight.

"We get out of here. It's time to go, little sister" Niklaus said.

"We can't keep running, Niklaus. We did that for a thousand years, but not anymore" Arabelle said.

"We have no means to kill him, Belle. Until we figure it out, we run."

"This is the last time I am running Niklaus. Next time I see him, I am killing him. With or without your help."

"He's your father, Belle"

"Until he drove that sword in our chest. Our father died thousand years ago, Niklaus. This man is just his fragment"

Niklaus smiled. "If that's the case I will stand by you, when you kill him, little sister. Always and forever."

Arabelle smiled. " Always and forever, big brother"

Hope you liked it. Until next time...
