Chapter 3: Meet the (human) Family
Disclaimer - I do not own The Vampire Diaries, I just play around with the characters.
A/N: Please don't hate me! I haven't been able to update in a while and I'm so sorry. I got caught up in finishing up school and familiy I couldn't find the time... Short chapter right now, but I'm still trying to get through the introductions. Bare with me. A lot of people have asked if the present Originals will remember Caroline and Bonnie when they get back to their own time... That will be revealed next chapter. I will also be doing Point of Views from now on. Well enough of my ramblings,,, READ ON.
Caroline POV
As Bonnie and I walked out of the hut, I suddenly became unnerved. I didn't like the Origlinals in my time, but to think of them as human? The monsters I had known seemed to have lost their humanity, assuming they had had any in the first place. Elijah may have been a moral vampire, but he had been known to kill ruthlessly. Rebekah had tried to act human, but at the end of the day that was all it was, acting. I hadn't really seen much of Kol, but Bonnie had told me about him spying on Jeremy in Denver. Finn may have had some humanity, even though Klaus had kept him daggered for 900 years, he still hated what he was. Then there was Klaus,,, He had shown me hints of humanity in his incessant flirting, but I knew better than to believe that any of it was real. There were those moments though. Sometimes I found myself wishing that I could forget his past. That he would be the Klaus he only ever was to me. I had to admit he was attractive. With his dirty blonde hair and rasberry lips. The way he- Stop Caroline! You cna't think these things. He is your ENEMY! I turned my focus away from my thoughts of Klaus then and focused on the people sitting around the fire outside the hut.
Rebekah got up and walked toward us as we left the hut. "Caroline, Bonnie! Everyone is so curious about your arrival. Come, meet everyone." she said as she gestured for us to sit on a log near the fire.
Sitting on the long next to them were Klaus and Kol. Across from them sat Finn and Elijah. Next to them sat Rebekah and the younger looking boy they still didn't know.
"I see you have forgotten to invite me to the gathering" said a familiar voice. I turned to look and walking towards us was... Elena? In the same clothing we were wearing. No? This can't be right.
"Tatia. Pleasure for you to join us. Had I known you were not busy tonight, I would have come to fetch you." I watched as Elijah greeted the familiar face, gesturing for her to sit beside him.
Tatia? This must be the originator of the Petrova bloodline. Stefan had mentioned that Elijah had told the story of her. He had also mentioned that Klaus and Elijah were both in love with her. I turned to look at Klaus who just glared at the two across from him. It was funny to see a man who always got what he wated jealous, but I couldn't help but be bothered by the way he looked longingly at her. Damn, all the Petrovas are skanks.
Mikael came toward us and I suddenly felt frightened. He looked at Bonnie and I with hatred.
"Who are these to strangers who sit in front of my home?" he questioned to nobody in particular.
Klaus and Kol stood up fearfully. Klaus spoke up before anyone else had the chance "I brought them, Father. Kol and I found them lost in the forest. I have been to speak with Mother after I found them and she will not be joining us tonight. She is with Ayanna. She asked me to offer them food and shelter. She said she would discuss it with you in the morning."
I watched as Mikael just glared at Klaus. I felt a sudden wave of reliief wash over me when I heard we would not be joined by Esther. She was the Original witch. I needed time to talk to Bonnie and come up with a story to tell about why we are here.
Mikael stormed off after Klaus giving them our names and telling him where he planned for us to sleep.
I turned to Rebekah, curious by the small boy who had been silent all evening. I didn't recognize him as an original, but he resembled Klaus so I figured they were related.
"Would you mind introducing us to everyone?" I asked her.
After learning that the small boy was their younger brother Henrick, it clicked. He was the sibling that was killed by the wolves. He is the reason they were turned into vampires. Elena had told me the story.
We ate dinner, which turned out to be some sort of brown murky stew. I looked to Bonnie who wasn't eating either. Rebekah let us sleep in her room on the floor next to a pile of hay that she called her bed. I was suprised that we weren't asked any questions about where we came from at dinner. Everyone was having their own conversations. Bonnie was silent the whole time and I knew that I could not talk to her then. I would have to wait till tomorrow. I looked at my best friend who had already fallen into a deep sleep, worn out from the spell that brought them to this place. I drifted off into a uncomfortable sleep, only to wonder what tommorow would bring.
A/N: Now that everyone is introduced, the story won't be so dull anymore. Next chapter, the girls will learn what its like the be a women in the viking age and a confrontation with a familiar face? I love the critisism. It helps me improve my writing and I am still taking suggestions to the way the story will go. Review!
