Klaus would spend most of the day with Selina. He would listen to her go on about her history as a hybrid. He was curious to know more about it. He hadn't heard of such a hybrid, nor had he ever came across one like her. He guessed that she was a rare commodity around the area. He wondered if there were any like her. He could listen to her talk for hours upon hours because he was simply lulled by the sound of her voice. He started to grow more fond of Selina, but falling in love wasn't an option. He would cast aside those feelings. It wasn't his intention to fall for her. As much as he hated to admit those feelings for her, a part of him was holding him back. He had failed to admit to his siblings that he thought about Alexa from time to time. He had believed that the lies he said about her would make his siblings believe that she truly was a monster, like him. Though, Alexa wasn't a monster. All she had ever been to him was a kind, young girl.
He remembered the times the two of them had spent together before her departure. He wondered why she had come back after a century. He wondered what her reason was. After all, he had been trying to read her at Mystic Grill. He had given up when she gave him no clues as to why she was in Mystic Falls. "Enough about me, what about you? What makes you the monster you are today?" Selina smirked. The two of them sat outside Mystic Grill with their drinks. Klaus chuckled lightly. He had plenty of stories to tell her, but they had time on their side.
"Well, when you've been hunted down by everyone trying to kill you, you learn a thing or two about trust. You find out who is really on your side and those who are against you. I've been running for years from the man who I call my father." Klaus held the glass in his hand, marveling the dark colored drink. He took a sip, but his eyes managed to catch something else. To the naked human eye, they wouldn't have caught two blue eyes staring back at him. He saw them. He saw her. Why was she still around? "Something wrong Klaus?" Selina was about to turn her head, but Klaus placed his hand on hers. He reassured her that it was nothing and that he was probably seeing things. Selina slowly nodded, unsure about whether Klaus was telling the truth. "Would you care to join my family and I for dinner tonight?" asked Klaus.
Selina smiled, "I'd be honored."
"I don't understand Kol. What did I do to deserve this treatment from him? I know I left. I just want him to understand my reason for leaving him." Alexa sat on the couch and placed her head in her hands. Kol had walked her back to an apartment, which she had been staying at for a few months. Of course she had been out of sight for over a century, but she had decided that it was time to come out of hiding. Kol sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "My brother doesn't deserve you." Alexa looked up at him and furrowed her eyebrows together in confusion. "Nik doesn't see the same person anymore, the person you had once been before leaving him. Elijah, Rebekah, and I - we all believe you. We all believe that it is Nik who has changed and not you."
"I just want to talk to him." Alexa looked down at her hands. "I saw him earlier today with someone, but I left immediately. He knew that I caught him talking to them." Kol had a feeling she was talking about the girl Klaus had encountered weeks before. He didn't know her name either. In fact, Kol had never even met the girl since Klaus had failed to bring her name up during their late night chats. "I think I know who you're talking about. I don't know her name." said he. Alexa didn't find it surprising that Klaus had found someone else to take her place. Guess she figured that it was time for him to move on with someone else. Maybe that's what she needed to do. She remembered vaguely how Kol used to be infatuated with her. A smile spread across her face. Kol took notice and asked her. Alexa shook her head and said, "Just thinking about a way to get Nik to fall in love with me."
"What are you going to do?"
That evening, everything was set up for dinner. "Nik, there's only four of us. Why do you have an extra plate?" Kol entered the room, followed by Elijah and Rebekah. Klaus explained to them that he had invited someone over for dinner. Elijah and Rebekah exchanged glances while Kol was occupied with his phone. "Is it the girl you met on your hunting trip?" asked Rebekah. As soon as the question left her lips, a knock sounded at the door. Klaus walked to the door and told his siblings to behave themselves. He opened the door and smiled to see Selina standing before him. "Hope I'm not too late." Klaus invited her into his home and closed the door behind them. He led her into the main room where his siblings were waiting for them.
"I'd like you all to meet Selina." Klaus introduced her to his family.
Rebekah cocked her head to one side, glancing at Selina's looks. "Hm, I thought you'd be prettier."
"Rebekah, that's no way to treat our guest." Elijah held out his hand towards Selina's direction. "Excuse my sister, she'll warm up to you. I'm Elijah." Selina nodded as she shook his hand. Shortly after, she was introduced to Kol. Now Kol had been with Alexa earlier before hurrying off to dinner with his family. He could see why Klaus was keeping Selina a secret. The eyes, the hair all resembled Alexa. It was as if they could've been twins. If Alexa had gotten a closer look at Selina, Kol figured that she would be furious. "Glad you could join us. We've been waiting ages to meet you." Kol smiled. They all sat around the dining table. Their meals were served out to them. Rebekah couldn't stop staring at Selina every so often. Even Elijah had thought the resemblance to Alexa was uncanny. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you in Mystic Falls?" Rebekah took a bite of her food.
"I was born and raised here. My real parents gave me up for adoption when I was a baby, so I don't know them all too well. I can't imagine living anywhere else." Selina answered.
"What I can't figure out is... why is my brother with you?"
Selina was confused. She glanced over at Klaus and turned her attention to Rebekah. "I don't understand."
"Out of all the girls he could've run into, why you? What makes you so special?"
"Rebekah." Elijah spoke up. He often spoke in a calm manner, mostly. Selina wondered if Klaus' family dinners always resulted in arguments amongst each other. Kol excused himself from the table and asked Selina to join him. Klaus wasn't okay with the idea, but he allowed for Selina to leave with Kol. As the two left, Klaus was left with Elijah and Rebekah. "What are you going on about Rebekah?"
"Doesn't she look like someone to you?"
"Whatever it is you're getting at sister, you're mistaken." Klaus stood from his seat and exited the room. Eventually he met up with Kol and Selina who were talking quietly in the main room. Klaus offered to take Selina home. "It was nice meeting you!" Kol called out to her before she and Klaus had left. The walk back to Selina's house was long, so the two had plenty of time to talk.
"I don't think your family likes me." Selina said.
"They do. They're just taking their time getting warmed up to you. Kol seemed to take an interest in getting to know you." Although he wasn't sure what Selina and Kol had been talking about while he was confronting his siblings.
"Why was your sister asking me those questions?"
"She's drunk." he replied. "I don't want you to worry about anything Selina." Selina was confused, but she decided to let the thought go. They arrived at her house, entering. Selina closed the door behind them. Klaus reached up to touch her cheek and leaned in to kiss her lips. He reached around and unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the floor.
The next morning, Klaus awoke in Selina's bed with an arm wrapped around her. His phone had been going off for the last five minutes. He had looked over, seeing that it was an unknown number. He reached over and sat up to answer his phone. "I didn't think you'd pick up." Alexa's voice came through on the other end. Klaus looked over to see that Selina was still fast asleep. Quietly he got out of bed and put on his underwear. He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"What do you want?"
"I want us to talk Klaus."
"And we're talking this very moment."
"In person. Meet me at the town square. Noon. Don't be late."
