*Salvatore Mansion*
*Arabelle's POV*
It was time to talk about the past, but I couldn't get myself to do it. The only other person who knew what I really am is Klaus. Elena had left an hour ago and my brothers were anticipating what I was going to say. Stefan was scared of the tongue lashing I was going to give him and Damon was finally happy to have someone on his side. How did I know all this well I was reading their minds.
I couldn't stay in my room forever, so I got ready like I was going out. I put my black rose earrings and my mother's ring on. I took my fringed bag and made sure to put my phone and whatever other essentials I needed in it and lastly put my shoes on. I did this because as soon as I tell my brothers the story, I'm going out, giving them time to think things over. I took one last look in the mirror and shut my door. They were both in the living room, both nursing a glass of bourbon. I made sure to put my bag down before entering.
"What are you two boys up to?" I asked with Damon-esque smirk.
They both stopped what they were doing and looked at me in surprise. Damon spoke up first.
"Ara what did you want to talk to us about?"
"Yea could you hurry with it? I have plans." said Stefan
My vision turned red when he said that. I blurred over to him and grabbed him by the neck. He was struggling to get free.
"You may be older than me vampire wise but I was turned by an original. Let's get something straight, whatever vendetta you have with Klaus needs to stop now. You'll end up getting all of us killed in the process. I understand he took your humanity anyway from you but he gave it back to you. The way you are now is your doing. You threatened Elena's life knowing damn well she didn't want to become a vampire. Klaus didn't make you do that. You stole his family from him, knowing that would aggravate him more. You and Damon helped unleashed Esther and guess what now she's trying to kill all vampires. Because of your little grudge, I have to clean this all up. So little brother you better change your attitude before I do it for you and it won't be pretty. And to both of you if I see or hear that you caused bodily harm to each other, you're dealing with me."
"Ara you're just saying this because you still love Klaus." Since my hand was still around his neck it came out as a strangled whisper
"Your point?" I chuckled. "He was there for me. Yes, I still love him. He was my husband but that's not the point. You say you can't go back to the old you but i think you're just scared. Scared of dealing with the mess that you've made along the way of becoming this jackass. But I didn't come down here for this." I lowered him to the ground and went to the couch. I looked at them and motioned for them to sit in front of me. I thought about it for a minute but didn't know how to say it so I just blurted it out
"I'm a hybrid."
"WHAT?!"
"HOW?!"
"Let me explain that better. I'm a quarter siren quarter, witch and half vampire. I was born a quarter siren and quarter witch from our mothers side and half human from father. Her mother was a siren like in greek mythology but only prettier and her father carried the witch gene. So when mother was born she was half siren and half witch."
"How come mother never told me about it?" said Damon sounding a little hurt.
"She wanted to keep it a secret and since you didn't exhibit the powers of either one. She remained silent because she didn't want father to know about it for what he might do. She didn't think it would have passed onto any of her children but it did to me. Damon do you remember how mom would stay locked up in her room hours a time?"
He nodded.
"Or when her and I would disappear? She was teaching me how to control my powers. Now you're thinking how am I a vampire and still a siren and witch. I have no answer to that. All I know is that I was born during a blue moon."
The shock was apparent on their faces, I expected them to shoot off questions a mile a minute but they didn't. I took that as my cue to leave, before they could even blink I was out the door and going to the Mikaelson Mansion. Esther and I needed to meet each other.
*Mikaelson Mansion*
*Klaus' POV*
Mother was still hiding in her room, obviously mulling over her failed plan. I wonder when Arabelle would make herself known to Esther. I was planning on how I was going to get her back and I had no plan so far. She would probably see through all of them. I wondered if I would ever get her back. Speak of the devil I heard here motorcycle come up on the driveway. She swung her legs over the bike and stormed inside the house. I rushed out of my room and watched as the doors flew open she was pissed . Her eyes were storming like the sea and her hair was blowing everywhere. My siblings were looking at me with question and with my eyes I told them to leave. Esther had still not sensed the threat and was still in her room.
"Where is she?"
She said it calmly but I could tell she was angry, her siren powers were coming out and for once they weren't directed on me.
"Arabelle what are you doing here?"
"Where is she Niklaus?"
"Belle, you need to calm down."
"Where is she Nik?"
"I'm right here. What can I help you with child?" said Esther with an annoyed edge to her voice
"We need to talk have a little talk." said Belle
"I have nothing to talk to you about little girl."
"Are you done now?" and with a flick of Arabelle's wrist, Esther was on the ground choking.
*Arabelle's POV*
This lady may have been older than me but I was channeling so many powers now. She tried to kill my family and she wasn't getting away with it. I walked up to her slowly and grabbed her face. I looked her dead in the eye. And all I saw was fear.
"I'm warning you now, that little stunt with the champagne was stupid. How can you come here and lie to your family and then try to kill them? You've just a made a powerful enemy lady."
"Who are you? What are you?"
"Ask the spirits you work for." With that I walked away. I could feel my eyes go back to normal.
"Arabelle, wait up!"
I rolled my eyes and began to put my helmet on.
"What do you want Niklaus?"
"What the bloody hell was that?"
"That was me threatening my mother in-law. I came here to instill fear in her, but that doesn't mean she not going to try something else. Your mother is listening to the wrong spirits." I said, still pissed.
"Where are you going now?"
"The Grill, why?" I said with a little apprehension.
"Can I come with you?" he looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Sure, hop on." The words flew out of my mouth before I could think.
"This doesn't mean I've forgiven you." I added quickly but that didn't stop the gleam that came to his eyes.
"One can only hope." he said wistfully and he got on. He put his arms around my waist and I shot him a dirty look and we were off.
The drive was silent but it wasn't the stifling kind. It was comfortable and before I realized it, I was leaning into him and he had his arms wrapped around me. Before we knew it we were there, I took my helmet off and looked at Klaus.
"Can you let go of me, we're here."
He was lost in his thoughts.
"Klaus… Hello? Anyone in there?"
"Huh? What happened?"
"We're here and I can't move until you let go."
"Sorry..."
He unwrapped his arms and we got off the bike. We went in and all eyes were on us.
"So much for a nice dinner." I whispered to myself and continued to take in my surroundings. A fast beating heart took my attention. I looked to where the sound was coming from. It was Elena. She was sitting in booth with her friends. From the descriptions Stefan gave me, the blond one was Caroline (vampire), and the guy with the brown hair was Jeremy (human who can see ghosts) and Elena's brother or cousin.
I debated on going over there and introducing myself but Klaus seemed to read my mind.
"Come on, let's just get something to eat."
I looked at him and nodded. I whispered to Caroline, "Come to the house later. I want to meet my brother's sire." She nodded and I winked, making Elena cringe. I guess she was still shaken up from this morning. He grabbed my hand and pulled me along to a secluded booth.
"Why did you let me come with you?"
"I let you come with me because if I had said no, you would have followed me anyway." I said while playing with my menu.
"I guess you know me."
"Well we were married for 3 years. I think I know some things about you. Even though some of it may be a lie." His face fell with guilt but before he could say anything the waiter came.
"Klaus," he said with more than enough hostility
"Matthew."
So this is Matt. He's the only real human left in the group.
"So, you're Matt my brothers told me all about you" I flashed him a big white smile. He was cute, blue eyes and blond hair. He was an
All-American Boy.
"You're Stefan and Damon's sister? Arabelle, right?"
"Correct, the one and only." Yes I was kind of flirting with him and I think Klaus noticed because he became impatient.
"So how about that food" Klaus said with jealousy dripping from his mouth.
"Why are you here with him?" asked Matt clearly ignoring him.
"He tagged along for some reason and I let him. I do think we should order before you get in trouble with your friends. Come over to the house later. I would love to get to know you better." I said while looking at his friends who were just staring. I waved and they turned back around.
"Elena's just mad because Damon was right and you put her in her place but anyway what will you guys be having."
I looked at Klaus and he was seething. So I ordered for him.
"We'll have the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and to drink, I'll have a gin and tonic and he'll have a bourbon on rocks."
Matt looked shocked but just nodded and walked away.
"Jealousy doesn't suit you, love and it turns your eyes even greener."
"I was not jealous."
"Says the guy who was so mad he couldn't even order. But then again for you to be jealous it would have to mean you actually care about me, so from what i remember you don't, I was just a toy." I said using his words against him.
"Arabelle… I had to leave you for your own protection. I said those things to make sure you wouldn't come after me. I'm sorry but I wanted to keep you safe. You don't know how horrible I felt for leaving but he was going to kill you."
"For my safety? I can take care of myself thank you very much. I'm tired of people deciding what is best for me .And who's he? The person you got that letter from?"
"He was my father. Mikeal was chasing me down to kill me and he would have killed you too. He was a vampire hunter. I couldn't risk you getting hurt. I loved and still love you."
"What happened to him?"
"I killed him when he tried to kill me."
"But if you loved me why didn't you come and find me when you killed him…" I said hurt.
"Stefan took my coffins away that held my family in them. Since then I've fought with him and then he decided to undagger them. There was so much happening. Trust me if none of that had happened I would have tried to find you."
While he talked to me he took hold of my hand. I could tell he was telling the truth but that didn't mean I trusted him. Luckily the food came before I had to say anything. We sat in silence and ate our food. I didn't know what to say. Why hadn't my brothers told me about the Mikael's killing when they gave me the synopsis?
When we finished eating our food, we just stopped and stared at each other.
"Arabelle please say something."
"What do you want me to say? I can't trust you. Who's to say you won't do it again? 'For my safety..' Who's to say you won't hurt my brothers again? Until you earn my trust and prove to me you're worthy all we can be is friends. I have to go."
As I said that I got up and left before he could say anything. I went out the back and thought about what just happened. I wanted him, really really badly but I just couldn't after what I heard. I heard the door open and Klaus came out.
"Arabelle." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "I love you and respect your decision. I'm sorry for what I did to Stefan. I just wanted my friend from the 20's back. I did all of this stuff because I was alone. I wanted a family and I realize now I can't make one without you in my life. If you want to be just friends. I'm okay with that I'm sorry, Ara."
There was tears in his eyes and also in mines. He kissed my forehead and held me tight. But it ended quicker then it started. His phone started to ring so he let go and answered it.
"Not now brother. I'm busy."
"Mother's disappeared, and so has Rebekah. I don't like the looks of this brother."
"Ok, I'm on my way."
