"Honey," a loud voice called through the house a few hours after Sam left to go see Ellen "I'm home."
I groaned and hid my face in Elijah's chest. Of course, Gabriel would pull something like that. I looked up at the Original "I feel like I should apologize for my brother before you meet him. Please, ignore him. I usually do."
"Now, that's not very nice, is it?" Gabe teased from where he was leaning against the doorway "Is that any way to treat your favourite brother?"
I furrowed a brow "Who said you were my favourite? Maybe I like Raphael more than you," I pointed out. We both looked at each other before bursting into laughter "Okay, right. That was a bad example…" I got up from the couch and ran over to hug my older brother "I missed you, Gabby."
"I missed you too," he murmured into my ear before a glimmer of something lit up in his eyes "So, how about you introduce us, Sama?"
"Gabe, Elijah," I gestured "Elijah, my older brother Gabriel."
Elijah nodded with a small, slightly nervous smile "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hm," Gabriel huffed "I suppose so."
I hit him in the back of the head "Be nice. I have centuries of blackmail on you and I won't hesitate in using it," I warned. Even though we hadn't really known about each other until a year or so ago, I gathered as much crap about Loki as I could find. It was really useful to have Reapers under your command. They found out a lot of stuff that I would have never found out otherwise.
Gabriel snorted "What kind of blackmail do you have? I'm an Angel." To prove his point he made a halo appear around his head.
I couldn't help but laugh "Oh dear… Please, never do that again… And to answer your question. Kali, Sigyn… Do I need to go on?"
The older Archangel paled slightly and shook his head "Nope." He offered the amused looking vampire a sheepish smile "Sorry about that."
"It's alright," Elijah waved off "I have a younger sister as well. Her suitors never made it past Niklaus."
I winced "I don't envy her. I doubt anyone could make it past father, dad and my other three brothers." I glanced over my shoulder "Although I have hopes."
"If you treat her right I doubt you'll have any problems," Gabe shrugged, flopping down on the couch "So, what pissed you off earlier?"
"Damon," I grunted, joining Elijah on the other sofa across from the one my brother had stretched out on "He wanted me to give him my blade. Apparently, they're trying to find a way to kill Elijah's brother."
Gabriel tilted his head "The Hybrid?"
"You heard about him?" the Original blinked in surprise.
"Most of us have," the Pagan in disguise nodded "He's well known to the Supernatural. All of you are. A vampire race created by magic… And not even demon magic. That's bound to gather attention."
I hummed "Of course it caught their attention. The thing is that it should have been impossible. All of the other creatures were a result of Eve… A simple human witch shouldn't have been able to create a new race with just a spell…"
"Are you trying to say that…"
"It's a possibility, Gabriel," I shrugged, trying to appear as if I didn't know more about this whole situation "We both know that He's still around."
My brother's eyes narrowed "What do you know?"
"I don't know what you mean," I shot back.
"Don't give me that, Samael." His grace flared dangerously, trying to intimidate me "You know more about this."
I threw a pillow at him "Are you crazy? Do you want to call the others here? Calm the fuck down and we'll talk this rationally."
"Fine," he bit out "I'm calm."
Elijah shifted a bit, drawing our attention "Maybe I should leave you to talk."
"I –"
Gabriel cut me off "Yes. That would be… appreciated."
"Gabriel," I frowned. I didn't want to leave Elijah out but my brother appeared to have made up his mind already.
"No, Sama. This is something we need to talk about in private," my brother pointed out.
The vampire got up from his spot next to me and pressed a short kiss on my cheek "It's alright. I promised you to talk to Niklaus anyway."
"If you're sure," I sighed and turned my attention back to Gabriel once we heard the front door close.
"He's a bit… uptight," my older brother pointed out "Not what I would have expected from someone you liked."
My lips twitched "Elijah isn't too bad. He's actually pretty cool. He always had to be the older brother for his siblings and be the mature one. Nothing I can't change with being a good influence."
"Good influence my ass," Gabe snorted before he turned serious once more "About Dad…"
I ran a hand through my long hair "I… I've been in contact with him but I can't tell you more, Gabby."
"But he's alive?" he murmured, looking like a little boy again.
"He is," I nodded. That was the wrong thing to say. Gabriel's eyes flashed angrily and he started throwing things around, raving. I watched him with wide eyes while he trashed my living room to smithereens.
"Well, this isn't what I expected when you asked me to come here, Elijah," a voice smirked from the doorway.
I whirled around and groaned at the sight "Really? You brought him back here?"
"I wasn't expecting him to be able to get into the house," Elijah defended himself, looking at Gabriel "What's up with him?"
"Ah, the conversation didn't turn out as well as I would have expected," I grimaced, flying to stand in front of my brother "Gabriel!" He froze, a vase held over his head "If you don't clean this shit up, I'm going to stick your beloved candy so far up your ass that you'll be able to taste them."
My brother stared at me for a moment before he startled into motion, cleaning the whole room with a snap "Sorry, Sama."
"You'd better be," I glared and turned back to the two vampires "I apologize for my brother. Gabriel isn't known to behave. I'm Samael."
Niklaus took my hand warily "Klaus. You're friends with the older Salvatore?"
"Even though he's an ass, yes," I nodded "I've known him for quite a while."
The younger of the two Mikaelsons blinked a few times and looked at me more closely "Hold on. I know you… I saw you on several balls over the past centuries."
"Guilty," I smirked "Now, what's this about you harassing the Doppelgänger?"
"I want to break the curse," he snarled "I've waited for a thousand years."
I waved him off "That I get but why not make a deal with them? It's easier than this whole evil routine shit."
Gabriel snorted "Evil routine shit? I have to remember to try that on Lucy. His face is going to be amazing."
"Shush," I snapped "I'm serious. Just use that Potion thing Elijah has stored away. If she survives and all of her friends do too, she might be willing to do it."
Elijah put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer "It's a good idea, Niklaus."
"Why should she survive?" he demanded "Doppelgängers have brought nothing but misery onto people."
"And yet they're still loved," I pointed out "Damon and Stefan won't stop until they find a way for the girl to survive. Plus, she has a family." Niklaus looked at me pensively but didn't agree or disagree.
