Hi friends, here's next chapter. Please don't forget to leave your comments.
And I am so sorry, I already made the story-line of We Are Family with Stebekah and Madia. I am not a big fan of Elena. I would always say she was not good enough for both Damon and Stefan. And I am certainly not going to pair up Nadia and Stefan. It would be very awkward, he slept with her mom. So please don't be mad. I just felt it would be better if Stefan moved on from that particular Petrova.
After sending the quick text to Nadia, Arabelle went back to the Gilbert house and found Elena sitting on the portico.
"Hello Elena" Arabelle said.
Elena got up from the spot, "Arabelle. I told you I don't know where Stefan is"
"Oh I know where he is. I just want leverage" with that before Elena could form a coherent thought, Arabelle touched her forehead. Elena slumped down, unconscious.
Arabelle raced to the mansion with Elena in her hands. Once inside she deposited her on the couch in the living room. By then Nadia entered with Rebekah's daggered body. After giving her a slight nod, Nadia went straight to Rebekah's bedroom to deposit her body.
Arabelle looked up once Niklaus came inside the living room. "I am going to get the others. I want your hybrids to help me. You can take her blood. But not more than one blood bag. Alright?"
"Alright" Niklaus said.
"Once you get the blood, feed her yours. Stefan might come here for her. After all he loves her enough to die. I will return soon." Arabelle said.
Arabelle and Nadia went to the witch's house with the hybrids. Once they reached the edge of the forest, Arabelle said, "The moment Stefan departs from here, I will go inside and search for the coffins. I will text you once I find. Then you shall come inside to retrieve them"
Nadia nodded.
As expected Stefan came out of the witch's house with Damon and Bonnie and left the place. Arabelle flashed toward the house and entered it. She could feel the Rocque spirits preventing her from entering the house further. Closing her eyes, she called upon the Bennett Spirits. She felt the tingling effect in her spine, making her more aware of the Spirit powers linking to her.
Once the spirits were linked to her, she flicked her wrist and entered the Witch's house. She blocked the Rocque Spirits' power from hurting her or the hybrids. As she walked down the stairs of the basement, she could feel the energy surrounding the daggers in her siblings' body. As soon as she was certain that the coffins are there, she flicked her wrist once again, making the coffins visible.
Once it was over she sent a quick text to Nadia asking her to bring the hybrids inside the house. They started to take the coffins. Relief flooded through her.
"Aunt Belle?" Nadia called her, her voice laced with worry and confusion.
Arabelle looked at her.
"There's only three" Nadia said.
Only then did she saw that the one most important coffin of all was missing. This was not good. Niklaus would go mad.
"We'll talk about it once we get back" Arabelle said. The hybrids went outside with the coffins straight to the mansion as they were instructed. "Could you wait for me outside?"
Nadia nodded.
Once she went out, Arabelle chanted and released the link she had with the Bennett Spirits and flashed outside the house.
Niklaus made his way to his driveway when the Lockwood boy came toward his mansion. He wanted revenge. He really did. After the stunt Stefan pulled, it would be nice to remind the Mystic Falls gang, who was in charge of the little town.
"Tyler" he called.
Tyler stopped and looked at him.
"I want you to do something for me, mate" Niklaus said.
"What?" Tyler asked.
"I want you to bite your blonde girlfriend" Niklaus smirked.
"Are you out of your mind?" Tyler yelled, "A werewolf bite would kill a vampire"
Niklaus just stood there smirking at him. He slowly walked toward him and stood face to face with his first hybrid. "That's exactly why I am asking you to do it"
Tyler shook his head. "I won't. I am not doing it. So you can go to hell"
Niklaus just shrugged. "Suit yourself, mate"
Unbeknownst of the happenings, Matt and Bonnie were preparing for the little party in the woods. Caroline was turning eighteen, and they wanted her to have at least a small party for her.
Bonnie has been trying to reach Elena for an hour, but she couldn't. With a huff she put the phone back in her pocket and continued with the preparations.
As soon as they set everything up to their liking, Matt sent a text to Caroline to come to the woods.
Within ten minutes Caroline was standing there, in the woods, with two of her best friends, with her hands covering her mouth, eyes with unshed tears. Caroline didn't want to celebrate her birthday with everything that was going on in Mystic Falls. But she liked that her friends took time to do all these in midst of everything.
"Happy Birthday, Care" Bonnie and Matt said in unison.
Bonnie walked to her first and hugged her tightly. Then Matt did the same only sandwiching her between him and Bonnie.
"Thanks guys" Caroline said.
They were drinking and dancing when Tyler arrived there. "Hey Care" he said.
"Tyler"
Caroline nodded to Bonnie and Matt and walked with Tyler, away from her friends so they couldn't hear their discussion.
"Happy Birthday" Tyler said.
Before she could say anything, Tyler's lips crashed on hers. The kiss was one of hunger and demand. Once Tyler's lips left hers, he said, "I love you"
Caroline looked at him straight in the eyes and said, "I love you, too"
The kiss that followed was very passionate one. He kissed her lips and moved on to her jaw, neck, kissing his way down.
All of a sudden, Caroline felt a piercing pain where Tyler's lips just kissed her.
Tyler bit her.
She could feel the venom course through her. She brought her trembling hand to touch the now punctured skin. Her breathing laboured. She closed her eyes, took deep breathes, willed her undead heart to not to panic. "Did you... did you just bit me?"
Tyler looked panicked. "Care, I am sorry" he stuttered, "I didn't mean to"
"Get away from me" Caroline said, gritting her teeth preventing herself from yelling, "Just get the hell away from me"
Tyler took off almost immediately.
Caroline huffed. That's it? He's not even going to get me home? So much for love. She slit down to the ground with her back resting against the tree. She could feel the venom spreading. She didn't know what to do. She just hoped that Matt and Bonnie would find her sooner rather than later.
After what felt like hours, Matt and Bonnie found her and took her home. She could distinctly hear that Matt saying that Tyler bit her to her Mom. Within minutes she was deposited in her bed.
Niklaus was looking at the book collection he had in his library when he heard the front door kicked open.
Seems like the mutt did his work, he thought.
He smirked when he felt his presence in the library just few feet behind him. "I thought you went home, Tyler" he said as he turned around. His face was immaculately masked from showing the boy any trace of amusement.
Tyler seethed at him, "What have you done?" he yelled. "You made me bite my girlfriend. Now Caroline is dying."
Niklaus crossed his arms across his chest. "I didn't do anything, Tyler. I merely suggested you bit her. It was your choice to either make me happy or disappoint me. You chose to do what I asked you to."
Tyler glared at him.
"It is you who is to blame, Lockwood."
After what seemed like a long staring contest, Tyler threw his hands in the in defeat and left.
What amused Niklaus the most was, Tyler didn't even asked him to cure his girlfriend. Puppy love, he thought.
Niklaus felt another presence in the room. He turned around, frowning, to see a very pissed Arabelle standing just outside the library doors. From the daggers she was sending through her eyes, he was fairly certain that his beloved little sister heard everything.
Now Niklaus was really scared. A pissed Arabelle was a very dangerous Arabelle. Great, he thought. He attempted a small smile, which only seemed to make her more angry.
He cleared his throat. "Belle..." he began.
Arabelle raised a hand, which meant he had to stop right there. Which he did. "You are coming with me."
Niklaus frowned. He was the least expecting her to scold him. "Where?"
"To cure the poor girl who simply had the unfortune of being the Petrova's friend"
With that she turned around and headed to the front door, without even glancing back.
Niklaus sighed and followed his little sister.
The drive to the Sheriff's house was awfully quiet. He wanted hit himself with a cricket bat and stake himself with a stump. God, now he was thinking like Nadia.
As soon as the car was parked in front of the Sheriff's house, Arabelle left the car like avoiding the plague. She really was angry with him. The Bennett witch was the one to get the door. The Sheriff was beside her.
"What do you want?" the Sheriff half growled as soon as she saw Niklaus.
"I am sorry about your daughter's condition, Sheriff" Arabelle said.
The Sheriff continued to look at her with a slight doubt and Bennett glared at him.
"My brother happens to be the cure of the wolf's bite. If you'd let us in, Niklaus could cure your daughter." Arabelle said.
The Sheriff looked him up and down with lots of doubts filling her eyes. After few minutes she let them in.
As soon as they entered house, the witch said that the blonde was in her bedroom upstairs. Arabelle gave him a death glare that said, he had no choice in the matter.
The blonde girl was in her bed, with her eyes closed. The moonlight from her window and the bedside lamp made her look like an angel that she really was. How come he never noticed her enticing beauty was beyond him. He could only stand there and stare at her. She was lying there without a trace of worry that she had whenever she crossed her threshold. Her flawless skin glittered in the light like gold.
He strode forward taking in her wound in her neck. Her eyelids opened to reveal the flawless blue crystals he had ever seen in the world. Their eyes met. And the world stopped right there. Everything around them was forgotten. He was sucked into her blue, blue eyes. He wanted nothing more than to spend the eternity with her. The wolf in him said that she was the one. His mate.
"Are you going to kill me?" her voice brought him back to the living world.
Niklaus was perplexed. "On your birthday? Do you really think that low of me?"
Her answer was almost instant. "Yes."
Niklaus smiled slightly. He removed the blanket to look at the bite. "Oh, that looks bad. My apologies." He said. "You're what's known as collateral damage. It's nothing personal."
He sat on the bed beside her. She scooted over slightly to give him some space. "I love birthdays. Yeah." He said.
She smiled. "Aren't you like... A billion or something?"
He was amazed by light heartedness. "We have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire, Caroline." He honestly didn't where that was coming from. He, the big bad Hybrid was giving a speech on life to a baby vampire who was currently dying. "Celebrate the fact that you're no longer bound by trivial human conventions. You're free."
"No" She said. "I'm dying"
But he continued his speech. God! He's insane. "And I could let you die... If that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I've thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries, truth be told." Now why was he indulging her on a secret that not even Arabelle privy of. "But I'll let you in on a little secret. There's a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music..." he said, "Genuine beauty. And you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays. All you have to do is ask."
She looked at his straight in the eye and said, "I don't want to die."
Niklaus took her in his arms and let her head rest on his chest. Biting his wrist he let her drink his blood. "There you go, sweetheart. Have at it." And when was the last time anyone drunk from his vein and that was very euphoric. Answer was very simple. No one. He rested his chin on her head and closed his eyes, severing that little innocent yet enchanting fangs of her.
Dare he say, his mate.
Hope you liked it. Please don't forget to leave your reviews.
Next Chapter: My favourite Petrova will be joining the Original family. And maybe family reunion.
Until next time...
