Chapter 6: History

Written by Fireworks8725

The girls ran home at breakneck speed, afraid for their lives. Elijah was trapped in daggered in a house they could not access. Their only hopes, the witches, were both dead.

Frantic, Beth made a suggestion.

"We should flee. We are weaker alone. We need help."

"We NEED Elijah." Annie asserted, at times her sire bond put her in the worst situations.

"What do you suggest?! Honestly, we are alone!" Beth whined.

"We have…." Annie started.

"Who! Who do we have?"

"Kol."

"Oh please! He is a psychopath!" Beth hollered.

"No he is not!" Annie's eyes glowed red.

"We only have one option. We should go stay with Marcellus in New Orleans. He can watch over us. Niklaus would not search for us there, and Elijah can easily locate us when he becomes free."

So inevitably they fled to New Orleans. They waited for word from Elijah for a month in the French Quarter.

Marcellus was charming as ever with the ladies just as he had always been, but their sire bond usually kept them from many other men…Kol and Niklaus excluded.

Finally they cracked and returned to Mystic falls. They found that their home had been lived in. They became suspicious and went to see the Salvatores.

"We don't have him!" Damon shouted at the girls when they banged on his front door.

"Lies! He has not returned to us!" Beth said.

Damon laughed heartily. "That is so adorable. He ditched you. Oh I love it so much!" he held his belly while he bounced around.

"How dare you insolent man child! I would soon rip your lungs from your chest!" Annie threatened.

"Oh, I'm terrified." Damon mocked, smiling. "I don't have the guy. Elena let him out weeks ago. Ergo, not my problem anymore." He slammed the door in their faces.

"I don't believe him." Annie said.

"I know just what to do. Let's get to the school and ask little Elena. Her bodyguards won't be around to censor her." Beth said.

"Would Elijah really not call on us?" Annie wept inwardly.

"I don't know, but don't be such a baby, we have business to do."

They walked through the halls of the school and found Elena's scent in a History classroom.

"It's empty. The Hell?" Beth said.

"Can I help you girls?" A voice said.

The girls spun around, ready to pounce, only to see the actual history teacher and vigilante vampire hunter, Alaric.

He had a gleam in his eye, something familiar that made both girls stare a moment at him.

He looked at the girls with an admiration that they had managed to survive this long. What they didn't know, what they had missed while in New Orleans, was that Niklaus was inhabiting Alaric's body. The teacher was home but the wrong person was inside.

"Do you know where Elena Gilbert is?" Beth asked him.

"I do as a matter of fact." He grinned wildly. Today he had discovered she was his missing doppelganger. He was overjoyed.

Annie looked at him expectantly.

"You clever girls." He said mostly to himself. "Listen, I'd steer clear of Elena for a while. There's nothing you need from her."

"Oh, are you going to stop us?" Annie asked.

"I just might. You underestimate me." He smiled, knowing the truth of the words.

The girls backed out of the room and decided to move on for now. There was SOMETHING about him, something….scary.

Kol was waiting at the house for the girls to return.

"Have you found Elijah?" he asked Annie.

"No darling, we haven't. I was hoping you would have some good news for us." She answered.

Beth stuck her tongue out and made a gagging noise as she called him darling. She despised Kol and couldn't understand Annie's relationship with him. She went up to her room to daydream about Klaus.

Kol flopped down on the couch and asked about what happened at the school. He looked almost insulted after Annie recapped.

"You are scared of History teacher?" He barked. "This is so shameful, love. I'm going to go down there and break his neck."

"Kol honestly, don't, he could be useful. He knows the doppelganger Elena. Plus, he may be dangerous."

"Nothing can kill me, I am invincible." He grinned. He stood up, kissed her cheek and the next moment he was gone.

"Fool is going to get himself killed." Annie said sadly.

She didn't realize how right she was.

Back at the school, "Alaric" was chaperoning at a school dance. Kol found him easily and cornered him in a hallway. Unfortunatly for him, "Alaric" had a very special dagger on him.

"Hello brother." He smiled evilly.

Kol had only a moment to drop his jaw in shock before the dagger pierced his heart and he dropped to the floor.

Annie called Kol on his cellphone for news for 2 full days. There was never a word.
