Return To Mystic Falls

It has been about two months since that night and I haven't seen Kol, the Originals, or anyone from Mystic Falls. . .However, I must return and complete the task that lead me back to Mystic Falls.I was in the back of a black car with suicide doors. I wore a mid-thigh length black dress and 4 inch black heels, my hair was in a bun with my bangs curled and on either side of my forehead. It was close to midnight and all the night creatures of Mystic Falls were at the Salvatore Boarding House trying to figure out why I was returning and why they should trust me after my "betrayal". My driver pulled into the driveway and opened my door. I got out and looked at the boarding house. I could sense them, and an unexpected guest as well. My driver, Jarvis, grabbed my bags, while I went to the front door and knocked. Yes knocked, I'm a lady, not a barbarian. Damon answered the door just as Jarvis reached the door.

"Where will Milady chambers be?"

"Chambers? How old are you?" Damon asked Jarvis.

"The youth is not what it used to be."

"Riiight, her 'chambers' are upstairs the room with black and red furniture." Jarvis nodded, we entered the house, and he went upstairs. "So what do you have him compelled to be your butler?" I blankly stare at him.

"He's the same 'butler' I had in 1864 Damon, I've had him for almost 950 years now. . ." I said as I got a drink.

"Really? I didn't see him the last time you were here."

"Of course you didn't he was already in the Denver house, I have him stay there when I wanna travel alone-" I noticed that everyone was here: Jeremy, Elena, Bonnie, Tyler, Caroline, Stefan, the human named Matt, Alaric, Rebekah, Elijah, and Niklaus. "Well this sure is a nice home welcome, with no food. . .man I knew I shoulda eaten before coming here."

"You mean drink a human dry?" I stare at Elena for a few minutes then say:

"Um I was talking about real food like chips and french fries and cookies and stuff like that but oookay. . ." I down a glass of bourbon and then sit on the couch. "So why are all of you here? It can't be a coincidence that you're all here when I arrive." Xander and Tristan walk in the front door, but stop dead in their tracks when they see me. Tristan walks into the pallor and kneels before me.

"Milady I'm so glad you have returned." I blankly stare at him, then say:

"Um why? I thought you liked it here. . ." Xander sits on the couch opposite of me.

"Oh I do, but now that you are here I will not have to worry that something bad will happen to you."

"I highly doubt I'm safe in this town, but I'm glad you feel safe here, that's all that matters." Damon clears his throat.

"We are all here to see if we can really trust you."

"Every one of you wants to rise Silas, and hell on earth, for your own selfish gain and you're worried about not being able to trust me, wow." Suddenly, I begin to feel dizzy and images swirled in my head. I grip my head and concentrate on the images. It was the same images I'd been seeing since Kol was undaggered.

Tristan got me another bourbon and I down it. "Anyway let's get this over with, hit me with your worst, Salvatore."

"Why didn't you tell anyone you were working with the Originals?" Damon asked, sitting next to me.

"I was instructed not to."

"Do you always do what Klaus tells you to?"

"Only if I deem it morally right."

"And pretending to befriend Jeremy and using him so Bonnie would do what Klaus wanted is morally right?"

"It was not my place to know that information. I was told to befriend Jeremy and I did, he was truly my friend, or so I thought."

"What do you mean 'it wasn't your place'?" I sigh.

"Okay I'm indebted to Niklaus and to show my thanks I do a few tasks for him, I don't ask questions! Sheesh you'd think people would listen. . ."

"So if Klaus told you to betray us, would you do it?"

"I'm not here because of Niklaus, I'm here because I want to. He can't tell me to do anything, it's part of our agreement, right Niklaus?"

"Yes love." Caroline rolls her eyes.

"Why should we believe her?"

"I agree." I roll my eyes.

"I don't care if you believe me, I only decided to try and gain your trust, because I'd rather not be stalked and have to pretend like I don't notice."

"Someone's patience is running thin," Niklaus said.

"I'm not here to play Nancy Drew."

"Aren't you going after the cure too?" Elena asked, crossing her arms with a faint smile on her lips.

"Um no I'm not, I don't want the cure." Everyone is taken aback.

"But why not Gigi?" Elijah asks, sitting on the other side of me, "I thought you of all people would want it."

"Why do you say that Elijah?" Elena asks, looking between me and Elijah.

"Well after the first time I died, my power to see the future got stronger and I saw myself become a very powerful witch and my grimoire would help future witches. However, Esther was humiliated and caused my death, what she didn't though was that I had vampire blood in my system. It wasn't enough to heal me, but I was able to come back as a vampire. When I did, I still had the ability to see the future, but I can't directly change the future or I'll face dire consequences blah blah blah, you know witches. . .But yeah I don't want the cure."

"Are you sure-"

"Yes Elijah I'm sure, I'm only here to complete some unfinished business then I'll be on my way."

"And just what is this 'unfinished business'?" Damon asked, getting a drink.

"Not that it's any of your business, but it has to do with Kol."

"Well we don't know where he is, yesterday after he heard about Silas being with the cure, he ran," Rebekah said. I sigh.

"Of course he did, but you will see him sooner than you think. I can be of use to you, but I don't need anyone of you. I will let you decide, I am going to bed." I turn to Xander and Tristan. "Off to bed, they need to make the decision on their own."

"Of course Milady," Tristan said, as he and Xander went off the bed.

"Come, come Jarvis," I say walking to the hallway, "Let us get some rest, we shan't unpack until they reach a decision."

I shower and think of Kol. All those stories we heard of Silas were more than just tales to make children eat their veggies and behave, I knew he was real and every witch in the world knew of him. If he awoken, hell would be unleashed and the cure isn't worth it. All I know is I have to stop Kol, if he dies I don't know what I'm going to do. . . I finish my shower and dress. I brush my hair and teeth. I may be dead, but I still wanna look good. I know where Kol is, but I'm going to wait until he shows himself. I could hear the others downstairs, Elena and Caroline (and Tyler kinda) were the only ones who didn't want to trust me. However, Bonnie spending time with Tristan and Xander "bonding" with the Salvatores made them believe that I could be trusted. Niklaus helped by explaining our deal further, basically when I'm doing personal business I can't do "tasks" for him and it's worked the past 1000 years, plus he compelled me to never tell anyone when I was working for him. Elijah and Rebekah told them that I was a trustworthy and honorable friend, I never betrayed my friends and in a way I didn't. After I became friends with Jeremy I feared telling him what I was, because I thought it would end our friendship and I was compelled.

Eventually, Elena was the only one that objected. It was only one person though, so they basically told her to suck it up. Elijah came to my room when everyone started leaving. Jarvis bowed to him.

"You can begin unpacking her things, she's staying." Jarvis smiled and got to work. I hugged Elijah.

"Thank you Darling I appreciate it."

"Anything for you Lady Petrova," Elijah says, kissing my hand. "I shall see you in the morning."

"Yes, for brunch." After he left I called Tristan in. "We will do the ritual tomorrow night, are you ready?"

"Of course Milady," he said, slightly bowing.

"If you don't want to go through with it if you don't want to."

"I know, however I am forever in your debt for what you did for our family."

"Very well, you may want to spend tomorrow saying goodbye to Bonnie, I doubt the others will take it well. But remember, tell no one and never speak of it." He nods. I sit on my bed, then as he gets up to leave, "What's wrong with Xander? He hasn't spoken to me since my return."

"I am not sure, but I think Lord Niklaus spoke to him about your, as you call it, conquests."

"Oh, I see," I say, getting under the covers. "That is all for now, get some sleep love."

"Goodnight Milady," he says leaving the room.

I lay there thinking about my visions. I know I cannot directly affect the future, but I can bring back someone from the dead to change it for me. There is always a loophole in spells and it's almost always bad for witches and humans. Kol is not going to give up so easily, but I think with the right persuasion he'll come around. It's sad that Bonnie must always be the one to suffer, but it's only because she is one of the good ones and tomorrow night she will suffer yet again. Once again it will be because of Elena, life sure is full of funny things. I start to drift off, my thoughts getting more and more incorriant. I return to the night I became a vampire, Ayana crying for I never got to hold my baby. She was the one who named him, because she knew that was the name I wanted to give him. Esther was sitting there trying not to be happy that I was dead. She wanted to kill the baby too, but Ayana was protecting the baby. Elijah came and saw that I was dead. He took my body away from the village, he hid me so no one would find me. Elijah grabbed a daylight ring I had made myself when Kol turned into a vampire, hoping he would turn me. Ayana let Kol take care of the baby, Elijah lead him to me. I awoke to see Kol soothing the baby. I knew I was in transition and I could sense the blood pumping through his veins. Elijah got some of the baby's blood in a wooden bowl and I completed my transition. I held my baby and fought the urge to drink him dry. I got to spent two hours with him and then they had to go back to the village. I sat there for the remainder of the day thinking. At about noon I got a vision. It was of Esther, her heart was ripped out. I smiled at the thought and knew it was only a matter of hours before she was dead. Sure enough late that night I smelled her blood, I fell into a peaceful sleep. I awoke a while after the sun had risen. Niklaus, Elijah, and Rebekah came to me shortly after, wanting me to join them. I agreed, but not before sneaking close to Ayana's house to see my baby one last time. I knew my Xander would go to my parents and I had a feeling they'd be moving back to old world soon. We eventually traveled to Italy where we met up with Kol and Finn. I sometimes wonder if we could've stayed there forever, but that's just wishful thinking. . .
