Chapter 4

The rest of the siblings left wondering who had dared to interrupt their family moment, turning to each other confused as they turned to Klaus for an explanation. His face paling at the thought as he gazed into the floor hoping it would swallow him whole.

"We're waiting, Niklaus." Elijah expressed calmly making Klaus look up while Rebekah tapped her heel impatiently. As Finn got a glass of wine and sat on the couch silently.

Just then Kol sauntered in the room with the girl at his side, an arm wrapped possessively around her waist, kissing the top of her head.

Narrowing his eyes toward Nik and took a menacing step forward, making him gulp nervously. Tucking her behind him as if to protect her from the clutches of his family. His eyes dark and menacing with rage simmering beneath his irises. Elijah dusted off the imaginary dirt from his suit and straightened his jacket. His eyes noticing a faint resemblance between Kol and the guest. Although he was unsure to why or how it was even possible.

"Well, Nik what do you have to say?" Challenging him with his eyes, daring him to say the truth.

"Since he won't speak, I-…"

"Alright!" Feeling the nerves stand within his body feeling a burning sensation spread within his body. Till he groaned in pain, falling to his knees. Making Elijah and Rebekah step forward protective of their brother although cross with him. Wouldn't allow outsiders to harm their brother.

"What in the hell!" Rebekah snarling, baring her fangs appearing in front of Kol and eyed him with caution and his new harlot. While Elijah followed quickly behind. Kol only smiled darkly and nudged her forward, with slow tentative steps as she walked forward, feeling him. "This is Santana…," watching their eyes in amusement before uttering the final word that would seal their fate. "Mikaelson." Their mouths fell open in shock and confused, thinking he was playing games with them. Sadly he wasn't whether it was a good thing or bad thing he could not say. Rebekah stubborn and true refused to believe it, knowing their sister had died from an illness. That had to be true right?

"Isn't that right, Nik." His own tears pooling in his eyes as he looked shamefully into the floor. Finn's eyes widening as he stared from Kol to the girl in front of them.

Santana held out her hand in front of her, black shadows curling out of her hand and wrapped around the nearest vampire near her. Making them all choke from her hand, even Finn who sat unmoved on the couch. Blood pouring out of their eyes as Rebekah ignored the pain and appeared in front of her ready to wring her neck, but Kol flashed in front of Santana. Protectively and wrapped his hand with enough force to break her jaw, but not quite. Forcing her to look into his dark eyes. A clear warning hanging in the air as she whimpered, tears unshed tears burning in her eyes causing Niklaus to get involved concerning his sweet sister as he took a few steps forward, eyes flashing amber.

"Touch her and you'll die, dear sister. Before you'll even attempt it." Rebekah turned wide and fearful as she gazed up towards her brother. Stepping back and zoomed away towards Klaus as she wrapped her arms into his chest. Burying her face into his t-shirt.

"Come, come brother. Put your fangs away."

Kol cocked his head to the side allowing her to dance upon his fingers as he twirled her into his side, showcasing his twin in front of his siblings.

Immediately seeing the resemblance between them, from their dark eyes to their hair. Both possessing identical sharp features and beauty like no other. That could belong to a true Mikaelson.

Remembering very vividly a girl looks matching Kol as they would always play together, hands intertwined as they strolled in the village with smiles across their lips. A force to be reckoned with at such a young age. Even Elijah and Finn remembered the day the twins were born while Esther screamed in pain as she pushed, the sweat trailing down her forehead. The small lit candles all around the room as Mikael waited anxiously outside. Their tiny fingers intertwined together. His small cries bursting from his lungs that they thought would burst as he held onto the small fingers, curling possessively over the small child as slid out the womb. That soon his lungs began to quieten as he sensed his baby sister near him, with him where she belonged.

Even in the womb they couldn't be separated because their small hands interlocked with each other as they were born underneath the sacred cycle when the morning stars aligned with the sun. The blood moon high in the sky as it rained down the villagers, the trees whipping in the wind as it howled against the wooden doors. The werewolves howling in the night. As the Mikaelson twins were born, clean, and bloodless from their mother's womb. A tired sigh escaping as she held her twins. Naming them Kol after the strong warrior who had died in battle the year before and Santana from her mother, that she allowed a tear to slip as she gazed down at the angelic twins nestled in her arms.

Mikael bursting through the door with a rare smile as he slowly approached his wife and his newly born children. His bright blue eyes soft and teary-eyed as he gazed down at the twins, as Esther placed them in his arms. Causing him to leap for joy as his little daughter curled her small finger around his palm, an angry growl escaping as she soon realized that her small finger was too small against his palm. While Kol sensed her distress caused a pout to form on his lips as he made their father nudge him closer to his twin. That Mikael fell in love with them, gaining his heart from the first moment he laid eyes on them.

A blank look on Elijah's face as her small angelic face became ensnared into his mind. No longer seeing the light reside within her, as she once brought great happiness towards their family and even their cold-hearted father. It was indeed their little sister. A tear slipping from his eyes as he watched her curl into his brother's arms. Her eyes gazing into Kol's as she was confused as who they there. Her instincts only sought to protect Kol from people who might due him harm. Her eyes widening as she felt another vision come to her as she stared at Rebekah. Their faces chipping away as the scenes came to life before her eyes. Noticing she was now in a very lavish ballroom surrounded by people who she knew she didn't care for, sensing he was near. Seeing herself as she turned to man on left of her, a genuine smile as she looked into his dark eyes similar to hers. That the images became quite clear, as if she was there.

Her hand slipped into his awaiting palm as he brought her through the crowd of masses of nobles of to the side. Awaiting the grand entrance of the most noble and gracious Lord Niklaus. Gaining the vipers whispers and jealously of the noble ladies. Their stares and harsh scorching glares burning a whole in her back. Her beauty incomparable to men and woman of noble descent as their contempt hidden behind their hisses. Especially the pretty human girl from Bulgaria couldn't hold her contempt for the young girl on the arm of a wealthy nobleman. Their eyes steel and harsh with their fancy hair pinned up and jewels adorning their throats and pretty little silks covering up their aging skin and petty little flaws. Noticing their husbands allured to the mysterious woman walking through the crowd. Their eyes peering to the pale skin peeking through the silk of her dress.

A smile threatened to break its way on to her lips as she passed through, her enchanting daring gown sweeping the expensive floor beneath her. The corset amplifying her assets and the gold shimmering necklace resting around her throat. Being even more beautiful than the precious doppelganger in their midst. But it did not matter for their heads were held high and confidence oozed out of their bones. Ensnaring them in their beautiful wickedness. Not really caring for the presence of his siblings sticking to the shadows than face his wrath.

"Brother you're here." A feminine voice calling out from behind them.

"Sister" holding his voice in contempt, a slithering hiss through his teeth holding Santana at his side. Shielding her from her view.

"Now, now, my love," stepping from his embrace and gaining the attention of his lovely sister. Who now gazed upon the beautiful woman glaring at her brother's side. With contempt and suspicion a tight smile now adorning her features.

"Now sister don't be jealous."

She held her hand out in front of her and locked eyes with Rebekah's as she mockingly curtsied in front of the blonde.

"We haven't officially met, I'm Santana…" Kol's head cocked to the side and shook it.

"Let's just leave it at that." A knowing smile at her lips as she gazed at the blonde.

Letting her dance upon his fingers as he twirled her into his side, showcasing her in front of everybody man and women as they looked on with jealously. And his siblings who looked on at the scene, curiously.

A smirk dancing at her lips as her fingers and body coiled around Kol gaining the gasps and vibrant humming whispers of the members around the room. While her thigh wrapped around his waist, his fingers brushing at her thigh. While her hand curled around his shoulder, the gold snake coiled around her arm, the blood red silk slipping from the her skin. Displaying her flesh before the hungry eyes of the noble men, itching to get their hands on her. For just a taste. Believing they had a right over the man who currently held her against him, burning holes into his back. Staring at each other like they were the only one left in the room, gazes burning into one another. Oblivious to everyone but the sight and heating touch of one another, their similar dark hair clouding their dark intentions.

"Brother!" a booming voice interrupting the vibrant murmurs surrounding the enchanting couple that had arrived gracing the humans with their alluring presence. Her coiled embrace slipping from his grasp as her heel slipped to the floor and stood behind him while her lips pressed into a tight smile.

"Nik!" he smiled his lips curling into a smirk as he stepped slow deliberate steps toward him. Hidden intentions behind their bright blinding smiles as they stared at each other before enveloping each other in a hug.

"Happy Birthday, Nik." He whispered in his ear away from the prying humans as they stared ahead oblivious to the rather impervious tension boiling beneath the two men hugging as they sipped at their glasses quietly.

Elijah sauntered towards the brothers while Kol let go of Klaus and made his way back to his love and the glass currently at her lips.

The crowd making its way to the dance floor as their stares came to an end as they held their head high and merely disguised their distaste for the girl, who they believed below their status. While the oldest of the siblings came to stand in front of Kol, silent as he observed him before speaking. A smile cracking at the seams.

"Hello Elijah." Tilting his head to the side as a smile broke hold on his face. While Santana put the glass onto the passing tray as she smiled demurely and sauntered to them like a cat, the limbs of her skin peeking through the slit of the red silk swaying as she walked, enticing the hungry ravenous men surrounding the pair. Only held by their jealous wives as they glowered down at the girl.

"You haven't aged a day" he remarked enfolding him into a genuine hug although Kol would never admit it and that was fine.

The party now in full swing as laughter and feet twirling round and round while becoming tipsy and the men boisterous and loud. With pleasantries out of the way he took her hand and let her to the center of the ballroom, her hand in his palm, his arm curling around her waist, as he brought her in close. Making sure everyone knew who she belonged too. Which only brought a smile on her lips.

"Have I told you how beautiful you?"

"Many times. Although you did wore out after what the 12th round?" She asked teasing him, with a smile. Making him laugh.

"Have I said how sexy you look?" trailing his fingers up her arm, causing her hands to tighten around his shoulders.

"Yes." She nodded making it hard to concreate on the steps although they had no problem creating their own.

Breathing in the same air as he twirled her around in his fingers giving the women and men really something to talk about as she twirled into his arms. His hand catching her bare thigh raising it to his waist. "You make me crazy, you know that right? My sweet naughty sister." While her arms locked around his neck while she raised the leg that was at his waist and brought it straight in mid-air grazing his ear as her other leg dragged behind them as he dominated her, a smile on his lips while their heated gazes burned into each other. Their crazy passion taking over them like a shield as she threw her head back, her intoxicating laugh was like music to his ears.

All the while Niklaus, Rebekah, and Elijah stood of to the side sticking to the shadows as they watched their brother and the mysterious girl hanging off his arm command the attention and harsh glares of the humans as they dazzled bright. Rebekah stood with a small smile and heart swelled for Kol as well as Elijah noticing the bursting smile as he danced with his companion after chaos and bloodshed spilt by his youngest brother. But Niklaus stood with contempt as he watched his little brother with little effort gain the attention of the people without trying, not that he was jealous because jealousy was a weak human trait and he was far from human. Shifting from human to beast, as an unwanted emotion gathered in his undead heart as he noticed the madness simmering just beneath his brother's eyes that made him just a little bit afraid.
