A/N: So, I've come to realize that many people actually are enjoying this story. I really didn't think it would be so popular, considering everyone is so used to Leslie and Damon. Oh, well the more variety the better. Keep up the reviews and take care everyone!

The Truth
I carefully turned around to see Kol standing right behind me with a smile on his face. I was so incredibly relieved to see him alive and well that I dumped Chucky on the nearest table and dashed towards Kol. I immediately wrapped my arms around him and said.
"Kol! You're okay! I was so worried!"
Kol simply laughed at me then wrapped his arms around my waist and replied.
"Of course I'm alright, darling. What happened yesterday will never repeat again. Speaking of which ... I've got an ex-doppleganger to slaughter."
With that, Kol removed himself from me and started making his way towards Elena and everyone else. At that, I instantly dashed right infront of him and blocked his path toward them. I pressed my hands against his chest and said.
"Kol! No, stop! Kol, please! You promised! I'm begging you not to do anything! Kol!"
It was then that I saw Elijah instantly move towards us and say.
"Kol, enough."
"Oh, come now, Elijah. We both know that if I want her dead, she will be dead."
Elijah merely placed a restraining hand on Kol's shoulder and replied calmly.
"Yes, I am aware of that. Though, you must take into consideration that we are in a public place and Diamond has very kindly asked you not to end Elena's life. And if you care for her, you will not do anything to displease her."
Wow, Elijah was so knowledgeable. Man, he could convince people the moon was made out of carrots just by using that tone of voice. People simply had to respect a guy like that. I know I sure as heck did.
I quickly looked towards Kol and realized he was staring down at me. He then smirked and asked.
"Is that what you want, darling? For me to spare that horrendous photocopy of Tatia?"
I merely gave him a small smile and replied.
"Kol, I have a pretty good idea of who you are. Therefore, I know that you do not like taking orders from anybody. However, look at it this way. Would we benefit more with her alive or dead?"
It was then that Rebekah walked towards us and replied.
"With a stake through her heart, obviously."
I smiled at that then said.
"And don't pick the easy one."
Kol seemed to stop and ponder it for a bit before he smiled then rubbed his nose against my throat and replied.
"My precious little jewel is not only gorgeous, but she's smart as well. I believe I made a good decision for once. Don't you agree, Elijah?"
Elijah stayed silent for a couple of seconds before replying honestly.
"Yes, I believe you have, Kol."
Rebekah merely rolled her eyes and replied.
"Well, I like her. She's amusing, and my own personal doll. I haven't had so much fun with a female since ... It's been too long."
She then looked directly at me and said.
"Tonight, we are having another slumber party. Got it?"
"Um, sure?"
"Come now, Rebekah. You can't just keep our precious guest all to yourself. The rest of us also wish to get to know her a little better."
I quickly turned around and realized Klaus was standing right behind me. I felt Kol instantly wrap his arms around my waist and press me against his chest. I merely gave Klaus a timid smile and replied.
"You can ask me anything you want, Klaus. I don't mind."
Klaus merely smiled at me then replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Is that so? Very well. Shall we take a seat?"
I gave him a small nod then looked up at Kol. Kol had his lips pressed in a thin line and didn't seem at all happy. I gave him a small nudge then whispered.
"Kol, it's okay. Klaus doesn't trust anyone. I'm no exception. Let me just answer his questions."
Kol seemed incredibly dipleased, but agreed nonetheless. We then moved away from the pool tables and towards one of the larger dinning tables. I quickly snatched Chucky off the table I had thrown him on and followed Klaus. Klaus then casually sat on one of the seats and said.
"Please, sit, love."
I hesitantly took the chair across from him and said.
"Thank you. So, what are you wishing to know?"
Kol then instantly took a seat in the chair next to me and Rebekah and Elijah sat beside Klaus. Klaus merely smirked and said casually.
"Well to begin with, how exactly are we going to reach the ... "
Suddenly, the phone Klaus had just given me began making some very strange and bizarre noises. The noises didn't sound like any normal ringtone noises I had ever heard. They sounded more like a steady static interference, similar to messed up wavelengths. I quickly pulled out the phone and placed it on the table. It continued to make the weird sounds for approximately five more seconds before it went silent and a message appeared on the screen. I blinked several times then slowly moved forward and read what it said. What had been sent to me nearly made me fall off my chair. The message clearly said in big capital letters.
"CALL YOUR SISTER. SHE WILL HELP."
I stared at the message in complete fear then suddenly felt myself grow angry. I instantly lifted my head up and snarled at Klaus.
"Are you trying to be funny? This isn't a freaking joke, Klaus! I am trying to stop a supernatural apocalypse, and you think this is a joke? Using my own little sister against me too! Knowing just how much I miss her! How could you!"
With that, I slammed my hands against the table then dropped everything, except Chucky, and ran straight to the women's restroom. I slammed the door shut behind me and hugged Chucky closer to me as I felt small streams of tears begin to slowly pour from my eyes. I began to quietly sob into Chucky's hair at the thought of my sister and little brother being all alone. I missed them so much. Why hadn't I broken down sooner? My poor Bri and baby Kevin. I had to go back to them! I just had too! They needed me!
I then heard someone begin to furiously pound on the door. I quickly jumped away from it and stuttered.
"It's open."
It was Rebekah who stomped furiously inside the restroom and slammed the door in Kol's face. I heard Kol snarl angrily at her then yell.
"I have no problem in coming in there and dragging you out, Diamond! Come outside, right now!"
I clenched Chucky closer to me and replied.
"Kol, please, just leave me alone for ... "
"You have until the count of ten, Diamond!"
Rebekah merely rolled her eyes and said.
"You need to leave here and come outside to speak with us. Nik isn't the least bit pleased that you yelled at him over something he has no clue about. Also, I believe Kol is at six seconds now, seven, eight, ... "
At that, I hesitantly moved towards the door and slowly opened it. I took a quick peek outside first and saw Kol walking back-and-forth furiously while still counting, clearly he wasn't amused. I took a deep breath then carefully stepped out and said.
"Kol, I ... "
Kol instantly flashed to stand infront of me then wrapped his arms around me and yelled.
"What do you think you were doing running off like that! Are you insane!"
"Kol, please understand that ... "
To mine and nearly everyone's surprise, Kol instantly lifted me up bridal style and walked back with me to the table we were sitting at. The only slight difference now was that Kol was sitting me on his lap. I blushed furiously as all three of his siblings stared at us with different expressions. Elijah seemed concerned, Klaus looked annoyed, and Rebekah seemed amused.
My best bet was that Klaus was still mad at me for yelling at him. Why shouldn't I have yelled at him? He thought he was being funny by bringing up my family that he knew I had no way of reaching? That wasn't funny. I had a different sense of humor, but that just wasn't funny. Therefore, I turned away from him and simply cuddled Chucky close to me. Kol, instinctively wrapped his arms tighter around me and gave Klaus a death glare. The table had become unreasonably quiet as no one seemed to know what to say. Therefore, I decided to break silence and said.
"You're not funny, Klaus. I don't know if it's just an Original thing or something, but that wasn't funny. I love my little brother and sister a lot and I miss them very much. How could you tell me to call my sister when you know there's absolutely no way I can communicate with her? What made you think bringing them up in a joke like that would be funny? I respect you, Klaus. I honestly do, but you took it too far. I'm not expecting an apology. I just ... "
"Even if you were expecting one, you wouldn't get it, love."
The way he called me, "Love", made me instantly turn to stare at him. To say he was mad would be an understatement. He was glaring at me angrily almost as if he was holding back from ripping my throat out. I stared at him with a confused look on my face and asked.
"Why ... "
"Do not speak."
I immediately pressed my lips together and leaned more back into Kol's strong embrace. Kol only seemed to press me tighter against him while still glaring at Klaus. Klaus seemed completely unaffected then continued.
"Let me first outline something for you, sweetheart. I never told you to call your sister ... "
"But the text said ... "
"I do not recall saying you could speak."
I quickly shut my mouth and looked down towards the floor. Klaus then narrowed his eyes and said.
"Nor, did I ever send you a text message. To begin with, I was sitting right infront of you when you received it. Secondly, when I bought you the phone I didn't care to ask for the number. I simply purchased it and decided to wait for you to find the number within the phone and then give it to the rest of us. Thirdly, I left my cellphone at home. Now, anymore accusations you wish to throw at me, love? I don't know. Maybe it's my fault it's getting dark out. Or, maybe it's my fault that wood comes from trees. I don't know, love. What more is there that you can accu ... "
I could no longer stand it. The guilt and shame was quickly eating me inside. Therefore, I turned to stare directly at Klaus with tears stinging my eyes and said honestly.
"I'm ... I'm sorry, Klaus."
By the simple utterance of those three words, everything and everybody seemed to freeze. The Grill became unreasonably quiet and our table only seemed to grow even more silent. I ignored everything and everyone and stated again.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you and wrongly accusing you of something you didn't do. I should have asked you about it instead of running away like some immature brat. Therefore, I give you my sincerest apologies and hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
Klaus stared at me with what I could only describe as a stunned expression. Had nobody ever asked for his forgiveness in a nice way? I bet there have been countless of people who begged him not to kill them, but I doubted anyone ever admitted they were wrong and apologized to him. Many people probably believed he didn't have any feelings, so there was no reason to show him kindness. That was just plain wrong and sad at the same time. Klaus seemed to not know how to react because he remained silent for quite a couple of minutes. It was Elijah who broke the tense silence and said.
"Niklaus, Diamond has politely asked you for your forgiveness and has admitted her mistake. She is waiting for your response."
Klaus slowly looked down and began to shake his head from side-to-side. I sadly lowered my head in disappointment seeing as how he had decided not to accept my apology. At least, that was what I believed until Klaus instantly busted out laughing. I jumped slightly in surprise and asked curiously.
"What? I don't get it. What's so funny?"
Klaus then lifted his head and replied with a smirk.
"Honestly, sweet-heart. Did you honestly think you hurt my feelings with your accusations? I am used to being blamed for every bad and mysterious thing that occurs. You are just too easy to manipulate, love. It's such a shame Kol got to you first."
To my utter surprise Rebekah was laughing right along with Klaus, while Elijah was giving them a disapproving look. It was then that I felt Kol pull me tighter against him and press me against his chest. He then kissed the side of my throat and said.
"Even if you would have grabbed her first, Nik. I would have still taken her. She's mine."
I merely blushed at Kol's honest remark then slowly lifted my head and said.
"So, are we good, Klaus?"
He smirked at me then replied.
"Yes, love, we are, as you say, good. I accept your apology. Even though it was unneccesary. However, it did serve as a good source of amusement."
I really needed to start getting used to The Originals' sense of humor. If not, I would more than likely end up losing my mind, or with lots of heartache. Therefore, I decided to simply laugh along with them and forget the whole ordeal. I then felt Kol begin to laugh as well then whisper.
"You'll get used to us eventually, darling."
I simply nodded my head then turned to stare at Kol. The look he was giving me made me slightly lean back. He was staring at me profoundly, his chocolate brown eyes never leaving my green ones. Although, there was also a very prominent feeling behind those eyes and that was possessiveness. I knew Kol liked me, but the way he was staring at me made me rethink of just how deep his feelings went. Did he really like me? Was I just his latest obssession? Was he always like this?
I was brought out of my musings when I felt Kol tighten his hold around my waist with one hand and pull my face down towards his with the other. He gently placed his hand behind my neck and slowly lowered me towards his lips. I felt my brain completely shut down and myself stop breathing. With his face so close to mine, I seemed to forget everything. I slowly closed my eyes and waited for our lips to touch.
It was then that I heard someone clear their throat rather loudly and I felt someone kick Kol underneath the table. At that, I instantly pulled myself away from Kol's face and turned to stare at his siblings. Kol instantly turned to glare at them and growled.
"Your closet is as good as burned, sister. And you might want to keep a closer eye out on your precious journals, Elijah."
I knew for sure that Kol wasn't kidding when he said he would get back at them. Therefore, I decided to placate him by wrapping one arm around his neck and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. I then leaned my head against his shoulder and murmured.
"Kol, please don't be mean to them. We are here to discuss some very important matters and you and me got distracted. Let's all try to behave, okay?"
Kol simply wrapped his arms around my waist tightly and replied.
"I'm not making promises I can't keep."
That was good enough for me. It was then that Rebekah rolled her eyes and said.
"We're trying to eat here. I don't want to see you sucking my brother's face when I'm trying to eat."
I slowly turned towards her and whispered.
"But you're not eating anything, Rebekah."
"Well, I'm going to!"
I simply gave her a small nod then turned to look over at Klaus and Elijah. Klaus seemed deeply entertained while Elijah looked calm as always. It was then that something hit me. If Klaus hadn't sent the mysterious text message then who had it been? I carefully reached over the table and grabbed my new phone. I stared at message questionably, and wondered what it meant. Did this person mean my sister Bri? Or, did I have some different sister in this universe?
As I pondered on this predicament thoroughly, I noticed Kol and Elijah beginning to whisper something really fast to each other. Meanwhile, Klaus went to the bar to get some drinks and Rebekah was threatening a waitress to get her something to eat. I thought about the message for quite some time until I came up with a conclusion. I pressed the numbers I had memorized so well two years ago and placed the phone close to my ear. To my huge and utter shock the number I dialed actually started ringing. I waited patiently for the owner to answer and nearly had a heart attack when I heard the classic.
"It's one in the freaking morning. Someone better be dying."
I nearly choked due to the knot in my throat, but managed to say.
"Bri? Is that really you?"
I heard a groan then Bri replied.
"Yes, this is Briseida, and don't call me Bri. My sister is the only one who calls me that. Who the hell are you anyways? I don't recognize the number."
At that, I nearly fell off of Kol's lap, but he managed to catch me. He then grabbed a hold of my chin and made me look at him. He frowned and asked.
"Who's Bri?"
It was then that I heard Bri say.
"Listen, I don't know who the heck you think you are calling me this late, but rest assured my sister's a hacker and she's going to ruin you if you don't go fu .."
"Bri! It's me! Diamond!"
I then heard the sound of a thump and I heard Bri scream.
"Diamond! I'm sorry! I didn't recognize the number! How are you doing? How's England?"
England? She thought I was in England? Why would she think that? It was then that I heard Bri say.
"That Qetsiyah lady said you'd call today, but I didn't think it would be this late. Oh, but the time is different in England, right? Anyway, how's it going? Met any hot British guys yet?"
Kol growled particularly loudly at this and Bri being the smart girl she was instantly said.
"What the heck was that? Are you like at the zoo, or something? Or, are you in some sort of forest? Does England even have forests? ... Well, wherever you are don't let that thing get too close to you. It sounded kinda mad."
It was then that I noticed both Rebekah and Klaus had returned and were laughing hysterically at Kol, while Elijah pretended to be engrossed in the newspaper. Suddenly, something Bri had said struck me. Qetsiyah? Had that been the name she said? Bri had talked to the Qetsiyah? How? It was then that I heard Bri say again.
"Oh, you're at the circus, right? That's why I hear a lot of laughing. Is it really that funny? Wait, hold on, I thought you were scared of clowns. What are you doing at the circus?"
Bri was seriously going to be the end of me. I merely shook my head then asked seriously.
"Bri, what did Miss. Qetsiyah say to you?"
"Oh, your transportation lady, right? She didn't say much. She just said that because of how smart you were the school had decided to give you a chance to participate in some really important project that could eventually help the world. Although, the project would be in England and she needed mom's permission to take you. Anyway, you remember what happened. Mom said, "Yeah," and gave you a bunch of safety tips and kissses and all that good stuff. Then you left with the lady yesterday. She also said that a girl and a guy would be your tour guides and would be taking care of you for the two weeks you would be gone. She seemed real sweet. Did you like her?"
I instantly cleared my throat and replied.
"Yeah, Bri! She was really nice and everything! I'm just like really overwhelmed, you know?"
Bri simply laughed and replied.
"Yeah, I bet, but that's what you get for being so dang smart. I mean, ... you hacked into the freaking FBI! You're lucky they couldn't track you down! You'd be locked up right now if they had caught you!"
Ha, yeah, long story short, I hacked the FBI just for the fun of it and didn't get caught. My mother was not pleased. It was then that I heard the sound of someone yelling at Bri that I stayed silent. I listened carefully and heard Bri reply.
"It's Diamond!"
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a lot of movement, until the sound of my mother's voice came through the phone.
"Diamond! Why did you not call sooner, young lady! I was worried sick! I thought something bad had happened to you! I demand an explanation!"
Yep, that was my mom alright. No doubt about it. I was about to reply when my mom instantly said.
"Where are the man and woman that would be watching over you? Are they there?"
Oh, dang! What was I going to do? I merely stuttered.
"Um, well I ... "
Suddenly, I felt someone snatch the phone away from me and I instantly began to protest when I realized it was Rebekah. She merely placed her finger to her lips then answered my mother.
"This is Rebekah Mikaelson. You must be Diamond's mother. What is it that concerns you?"
I actually winced at my mother's yell at Rebekah. I noticed Rebekah pull the phone slightly away from her ear and simply drink a shot Klaus had brought her. Once my mother's voice died down, Rebekah placed the phone back to her ear and replied.
"Yes, I understand your concern for Diamond, but rest assured that no harm will come to her while she is under my protection. ... Sure, no problem."
Rebekah then handed the phone to Klaus and said.
"Nik, it's for you."
I saw Klaus glare at Rebekah, but take the phone anyways. Once he placed it to his ear, he rolled his eyes and replied with his British accent.
"Rest assured that your daughter will be completely safe with us. ... My name? Klaus. ... Yes, that is my actual name. ... The project has to do with computers and we require your daughter's excellent hacking skills. ... No, this is completely legal. ... You want what? ... Of course."
Klaus then proceeded to hang up the phone and began texting someone. Suddenly, Elijah's phone began to ring and I saw him frown in confusion. He then pulled out his phone and answered.
"This is Elijah speaking."
It was then that I heard my mother's voice again. Elijah merely sighed then stood up and walked outside to finish talking with her. I actually felt bad for Elijah. Hopefully my mom wouldn't be too mean to him.
It was then that I felt Kol place his hand on my thigh. I pretended like I didn't notice, until I felt his hand go up higher. I casually pushed his hand down then asked Klaus what happened. He merely smirked and replied.
"It appears as though your mother believes I am your tour guide in England, and Elijah is the supervisor. Excellent cover by the way, love."
I frowned at that and replied honestly.
"I didn't make that up, Klaus. My sister said a woman by the name of Qetsiyah took me to England."
It was then that Kol spoke and asked curiously.
"Wasn't she the witch that ... "
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking too, Kol. Qetsiyah did this too me. She brought me here, so I could do the right thing. I don't know if witches can see into the future or what, but Qetsiyah must know something. This is only more proof that Silas is very real and I have to stop him."
It was Rebekah who then leaned forward and said.
"So, Silas is real?"
I merely frowned then replied.
"I thought we already established that he was. I told you everything yesterday, Rebekah. Silas is very real and many people will die if he rises."
Our table once again fell into silence. Things just got much more real. I had to stop everyone here from committing the same stupid mistakes they did on the show. If not, Bonnie would die, Stefan would be buried alive, and Silas would unleash hell on earth. I was just about to start a game plan when something completely strange happened. I heard someone gently clear their throat and say.
"Excuse me. Diamond, is it?"
At that, I instantly snapped my head up and turned to stare at none other than Bonnie Bennett speaking to me. I heard Kol instantly snarl at her and say.
"What do you want witch? Aren't you supposed to be cleaning up your Elena alter or something?"
I gently elbowed Kol and replied nicely to her.
"Yes, I'm Diamond. It's nice to meet you. Please, ignore Kol. He's just having a bad day."
Kol simply scoffed and wrapped his arms more tightly around me. Bonnie completely disregarded him and replied nicely.
"My name is Bonnie Bennett and I couldn't help but overhear you say you know Qetsiyah. Would you mind speaking with me for a little bit?"
She then added as an afterthought.
"Alone, please?"
It was Kol who replied.
"No bloody way to hell and back. Absolutely not."
I knew I needed Bonnie to do the spell to open the way to Silas' tomb. This could be my only chance to get her on my side. Therefore, I gave her a small smile and replied.
"Of course, that's fine by me."
Bonnie then smiled at me and replied.
"That's great. Let's meet at that table in the middle."
I nodded in confirmation and watched her walk away towards Elena and everyone else. It was then that I noticed nearly everyone was here; Elena, Damon, Caroline, and Jeremy were all together at a table looking in our direction. Where was Stefan though? Although, I really couldn't blame the guy for not wanting to watch his slutty ex be all over his older brother. Stupid skanky broad. Man, I hated Elena so much. She was the least out of everyone that deserved The Cure, if there was more than one dose. Dang it! I forgot to tell them that! There was only one dose! Dang, I had to tell them that immediately. I was brought out of my thoughts by Kol saying.
"It's not fine by me, so you're not going."
I clenched my teeth then replied annoyed.
"Kol, I've told you several times that you do not own me and cannot control me. Therefore, I am going to speak with Bonnie at a different table."
With that, I tried to lift myself from him, but he only held me tighter then growled at me angrily.
"And I said you're not going anywhere."
I guess it was manipulation time. I slowly lifted Chucky to cover part of my face and began to whimper lowly. Kol seemed to freeze and his hold on me loosened. He tried to make me look at him, but I simply placed Chucky between us and continued to softly sob. I then pretended to whipe a tear away and said.
"You say you like that I'm feisty. Yet, when I am you don't want me. Do you like me as a person? Or, do you just want to use me, Kol? I really care for you. You know what I've done for you, and you still treat me bad. I honestly don't know what you want from me. I feel like you think of me more of like a dog, rather than a person with feelings. Maybe I should just go to the library and find a way to go back home."
"No!"
I slowly lifted my head and realized Kol looked slightly panicked. He then quickly took hold of my chin and said.
"No! You're not going back! You're mine! I won't let you leave!"
He then pressed me tighter against his chest and growled.
"I will rise hell upon this town greater than anything Silas could have ever dreamed of doing. Nothing will stop me from killing everyone that crosses my path."
Kol was slightly scaring me with the things he was saying. I was scared because I knew he wasn't lying. Kol would rise hell upon, not only Mystic Falls, but every single town he came across. He would kill thousands, even millions, if he lost it. Therefore, I lowered Chucky then gave Kol a small kiss on the cheek and replied.
"Kol, please, relax. I'm not going anywhere. I just need to have a nice conversation with Bonnie. I'm human and I know Bonnie wouldn't hurt me because of that. Look, you can walk me over there if you want. Then you can come back and watch us."
Kol really looked like he wanted to give me a flat out no, but he seemed to decide against it. He took a deep breath then replied.
"Very well, let's go."
He then released his hold on my waist and helped me stand up. I slowly fixed my dress then held Chucky tightly in both of my hands. Kol then instantly wrapped his arm around my waist and led me towards the center table. Suddenly, I felt Kol stop and pull me back. He then took a protective stance infront of me and snarled.
"I'll end your pathetic existance this instant, if you even think of coming this way."
I quickly peeked over Kol's shoulder and realized Elena and Bonnie were both about to move towards the table as well. Kol then narrowed his eyes and said.
"You better sit down, Elena. Preferably before I rip out your spine and shove it back down your throat."
At that, I placed a restraining hand on Kol's arm and said.
"Kol, please. You need to relax."
Kol completely ignored me and said.
"Five, four, three, t ... "
It was then that Elena instantly sat back down and Damon calmly stood up. At this, Kol laughed then proceeded to move forward again. I stared at him questionably and he simply replied with a smirk.
"Damon is of no threat. I'm sure he remembers the nice welcoming gift I gave him back in Denver. If not, then I have no problem in ripping his heart out and handing it to you in a silver platter, darling."
I think I might have slightly turned green at that statement. Therefore, I gulped then replied honestly.
"That's very thoughtful of you Kol, but a simple bag of hot cheetos would make me happy."
He merely laughed then slowly pulled me towards the table. He pulled the seat out for me and stood protectively behind me until Bonnie sat down across from me. Neither Damon, nor Kol made a move to return back to their tables. I gave a slight cough in an attempt to break the awkwardness, but Kol misunderstood and began to pat my back. It was then Damon who broke the silence and said sarcastically.
"I see you've gotten yourself a pet. Is she really that great in the sack that you've become so obsessed?"
I wanted nothing more than to stand up and smack him straight across the face, but I held in my anger and sneered disgustingly.
"I could ask you the same thing. Is Elena that great in the sack that you decided to chose her over your own blood? Kind of trashy of you ask me. I mean if she was willing to cheat on Stefan with his own brother imagine what she might do to you. If you were as cool as you used to be, I would actually feel bad for you. But, since you've become so whipped and such a sad douche, I think you deserve whatever she does to you. Which she will screw you over by the way. Just an FYI."
Damon looked like he wanted to tear me to shreds, and that only made me smile. If he wanted Kol and the rest of the Originals to kill him and the rest of them then he could go ahead and lunge. If not, then he should just be a good little boy and back off. He seemed to like being an immortal stud, as he so kindly put it back in Season 1, because he merely glared at me and began to walk away. I heard Kol laugh then lean down to kiss the side of my throat. I smiled then said.
"You can go back now, Kol."
He sighed and replied.
"Fine, I'll come get you when you're done."
Kol then glared at Bonnie and snarled.
"If you even try anything funny, I will kill Jeremy and all your little friends, and make you watch."
I sighed and said.
"Kol, please."
"I'm going, sweet-heart. I was merely informing Bonnie of all the blood that will be on her hands if she tries something stupid."
I merely hugged Chucky close to my chest and waited for Kol to leave. I knew he left when I heard Bonnie say.
"You seem to know a lot for someone who just moved here."
I gave her a small smile and replied.
"Indeed, I believe I know more than I should. Which can be a good thing, or it may be a bad thing."
Bonnie simply nodded and we fell into a comfortable silence. I looked casually over her shoulder and noticed everyone at her table was looking in our direction, and surely listening in. I had no doubt that Kol and his siblings were doing the same. The silence was then broken by Bonnie casually asking.
"So, what's your relationship to The Originals?"
What was my relationship to them? Was I Rebekah's friend? Kol's obsession? Klaus' friend? I shifted Chucky slightly in my arms and replied.
"I'm their friend, and Kol's latest ... obsession? I'm not sure with Kol actually. He's very complicated."
I heard something behind me break, but I ignored it. Bonnie simply raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.
"So, you like them?"
I instantly nodded and replied honeslty.
"Yes, I do. Klaus invited me into his home when I had no where to go and Rebekah gave me clothing when I didn't have anything. Elijah is also very nice and great to have conversations with, and Kol is just fun to be around. He's sweet to me and he takes care of me. He makes my day."
Bonnie merely stared at me strangely then asked.
"You do drink vervain, right?"
I shook my head and replied.
"No, I'm immune to compulsion. I don't know why or how, but I am. I know because Kol tried to compell me when we first met, but it didn't work."
Bonnie seemed to be contemplating my response, but then gave me a stiff nod. All of these meaningless questions were boring me. So, I sighed then said.
"I know you want to ask me about Qetsiyah, Bonnie. So, let's just be blunt with each other. I don't have time to waste. I'm here on a mission that I need to complete before someone here goes off and does something stupid."
Bonnie then narrowed her eyes at me then straightened her back and replied.
"My thoughts exactly. How and when were you able to meet with Qetsiyah? What do you know about Silas and The Cure? Also, who exactly are you and what is this important mission you were talking about?"
I smiled and replied.
"So many question, yet I don't think you're ready for the truth."
"I can handle anything. Tell me what you know."
I slowly lifted Chucky from my lap and sat him on the table. I calmly began to fix his hair, and I noticed Bonnie growing impatient. I smiled then began telling her what she needed to hear in order to help me.
"This person you all seem to think is just a myth is very much real."
Bonnie then frowned and asked.
"Who?"
I simply finished fixing Chucky's hair then sat him in the seat next to me and replied calmly.
"Silas. He's the first true immortal, and he is very real. To answer your question of who I am, all you need to know is that my name is Diamond. Now that I'm like 99.9% sure Qetsiyah sent me here, I believe my mission is to stop all of you from committing a very stupid mistake."
Bonnie frowned and asked curiously.
"What mistake are you talking about?"
I gave her a small smile and replied.
"Let me just tell you what's going to happen if you guys try to play hero for Elena's sake. Jeremy will die. Shane will die. Twelve witches will die. A hunter by the name of Galen Vaughn will die. Stefan will be burried alive and be near death for months. Silas will rise and unleash hell on earth. Elena will turn off her humanity and become and even bigger Katherine 2.0. Oh, and did I mention that you die too, even though your Grams tried to help you? I might be missing some things, but that's just at the top of my head. Any thoughts?"
Bonnie could merely stare at me in completely horror not knowing what to say. I simply leaned back against my chair and waited for her response. Just like I expected, Bonnie instantly shifted forward and demanded.
"How do you know all of that? How can I prevent it? I can't let that many people die! You have to tell me what I can do to stop it! Wha ... how does Jeremy die? How do I die?"
I merely raised my eyebrows at her and replied calmly.
"Silas kills Jeremy, so that should be a major red light as to why Silas shouldn't rise. You die by performing a very dangerous spell in an attempt to bring Jeremy back from the dead, even though your Grams begged you to stop. You should really listen to your elders, Bonnie. You might live a bit longer if you do."
Bonnie merely stared at me in disbelief then placed her head in her hands and looked down towards the floor. I felt kind of bad for giving her such bad news that I decided to cheer her up. I hesitantly reached across the table and touched her arm. She didn't respond, so I sighed and said.
"I can help you, Bonnie."
Bonnie gave a humorless laugh and replied.
"What do you want in exchange?"
I stared at her strangely and replied.
"Nothing. Why would I ask for something in exchange? We live on the same planet, Bonnie. If Silas unleashes hell on earth I will be just as equally affected as you. I don't want to die anymore than you do. I sincerely want to help you."
Bonnie then slowly lifted her head and asked.
"Are you sure you can help me?"
I smiled and replied happily.
"I'm positive. You just have to trust me. I swear to you that I am not trying to deceive you in any way. I just really like being alive and I don't want to live in a world where that can easily change. I'll help you if you help me."
Bonnie seemed hesitant at first then replied.
"How do I know I can trust you?"
I gave her a small smile and replied.
"What did you feel when I touched your arm?"
"I felt nothing. There was no sense of death or anything supernatural."
"That's right. I'm just a normal human, and I believe that Qetsiyah sent me here in order for me to find you and for you to help me keep everyone from doing something stupid like raise Silas."
Bonnie seemed to ponder on this for a while then asked.
"How do you know all the things you're telling me?"
"A vision."
Not a Twilight fan, but that was the best I could come up with. If I told her about the Vampire Diaries she would stand up and walk away from me, and I didn't need that. She was Qetsiyah's descendant and I needed her to open the door to Silas' tomb. Bonnie stared at me skeptically and asked.
"What did it show you?"
I stared directly at her and replied.
"I saw names, and those people I mentioned dead. I saw Silas rising and all of the trouble he caused, but I also saw all of the mistakes you and your friends made. Oh, and Silas looks exactly like Stefan by the way. He's his doppleganger. So, if Stefan ever meets himself, and he's not infront of the mirror, he should probably run like hell. Please tell him that, will you?"
Bonnie stared at strangely then replied.
"Yeah, I'll be sure to let him know. So, what is your game plan? How are we going to keep Silas from rising?"
I slowly lifted Chucky from his chair then sat him on my lap and replied calmly.
"Qetsiyah sent me here to do what needs to be done. What is destined to be done. So, that's what I'm going to do. I need you to just listen to me first and then ask questions. First of all, don't trust Shane. A couple of years ago Shane came across Silas' sleeping location and accidently spilled some of his blood. By doing that, Silas was able to get inside his head by using his dead family. Shane wants you to drop the Veil to the other side, so that the dead will walk among the living again. You can't drop that Veil, Bonnie, and you most certainly can't destroy it. Every single supernatural being that has been killed will walk among the living again and many people are going to die. So, no matter what you see. No matter what you hear. Do not drop that Veil. That's exactly what Silas wants you to do."
Bonnie then nodded furiously and replied.
"In your vision did I drop the Veil?"
I nodded and replied gravely.
"Yes, you did. Caroline helped committ the final massacre and The Expression Triangle was complete. Speaking of expression, you need to stop messing around with that type of magic, Bonnie. Like I said, Shane is only using you and Silas is using Shane. You have to stop right now while you still can before that magic consumes you and you kill yourself. I'm sure Klaus and the rest of the Originals know some pretty good witches that can help you stop and be your normal self again."
Bonnie nodded again then asked seriously.
"Okay, I understand. Avoid Shane, and stop using Expression. What else do we have to do in order to keep Silas down?"
I smiled then replied happily.
"I'm happy that you're taking this seriously, Bonnie. Because this is a very serious situation. So, this is my idea. It is said that The Five were created to erradicate all vampires and kill Silas. What we need is for Jeremy to complete his Hunter's Mark, without killing any of The Originals. Then this is what we do. Me, you, and Jeremy go to the island. If we need some like magical spell or something you help us with that. Which I think we might need one. We feed Silas my blood and awaken him. Then me and you run like hell and let Jeremy grab the Cure and shove it down his throat. After that, Jeremy does his job, as a member of The Five, and kills Silas. Then we all get back on our little boat and come back home. Piece of cake."
Bonnie tilted her head to the side and replied.
"That all seems a bit easy. Also, I'm not going to run away and leave Jeremy there knowing Silas can kill him."
I sighed and replied.
"Because it is easy Bonnie. Also, the only reason Silas killed Jeremy was because Katherine attacked Jeremy and force fed him to Silas. Silas then snapped his neck and drained him dry. No, me and you need to run because as soon as Silas drinks blood he will begin his mind tricks. I know because in my vision he used your Grams and Jeremy against you even though they were both dead. I also have some dead family members and I do not want Silas manipulating me to do his dirty work. Besides, Jeremy is at a great advantage. He can see the dead. Therefore, he can distiniguish an actual ghost from Silas' mind tricks. Honestly, Jeremy is the perfect guy to end Silas."
Bonnie frowned then replied seriously.
"If Jeremy agrees to go through with this, I will not leave him alone with Silas."
I sighed then replied.
"Well, I guess we could like close our eyes and put on some headphones at full blast. That may be able to keep Silas away, or at least help us ignore him."
Bonnie nodded seriously then replied.
"Okay, I like your plan. Wait, what about Katherine? You said she was the one that attacked Jeremy."
I waved my hand dismissively and replied.
"Don't even worry about Katherine. Rebekah already agreed to take care of her."
Bonnie's eyes went wide and she asked skeptically.
"Rebekah?"
I gave a casual shrug and replied.
"Hey, I wouldn't like a slut that screwed over two of my brothers either. I really don't judge Rebekah for wanting to rip Katherine apart. I'd do the same."
It was then that Bonnie folded her arms across her chest and said with narrowed eyes.
"So, you were the one that stabbed Elena last night."
I merely mimicked her stance and replied honestly.
"I'm going to be extremely honest with you, Bonnie. You seem like the type of person that prefers for people to say things straight up. Therefore, I'm just going to come out and say that I do not like Elena or Damon. If there is one thing that I cannot stand it is a woman ruining families. She may not see it like that, but she drove Stefan and Damon apart. They are blood brothers, yet they can't get along just because of her. To me that's just plain sad and trashy. Although, I'm not putting all the blame on her, Damon should also know better. He is Stefan's older brother. And instead of being there for Stefan and standing by his side, he is with her. In my opinion, they are both completely f*cked up for doing something like that to Stefan. No matter what happens, family is family."
Bonnie seemed to slowly lower her aggresive stance and seemed to ponder on my words. She remained silent for several minutes and merely kept her gaze on the table. I shifted Chucky slightly in my arms to where I was cradddling him like a baby. I then rubbed my nose against his cheek and asked calmly.
"Who fed you his blood when Damon tried to kill you because he was mad at Emily? Who helped Caroline get through her first days as a vampire? Who gave himself up to Klaus in order to save Damon's life? Who is attempting to find a Cure for an ungrateful woman who is only playing him? A Cure which only consists of one dose."
At this, everything and everyone around us seemed to freeze. I then gently began to rock Chucky from side-to-side and replied calmly.
"There's only one dose, Bonnie, and that dose is to be used on Silas. That is what the Cure was created for. It's not for a bunch of young supernaturals and Originals to hunt down like a treasure game and take for their own selfish gain. If someone within this room does manage to take the Cure for their own selfish reasons and they raise Silas, rest assured that I will not help any of you. If Silas descends hell upon Mystic Falls be advised that I will be thousands of miles away by then. Just keep in mind what will happen to all of your friends and you, if any of you try something stupid. If you guys are alright with being dead and having your friends' deaths on your conscious then by all means go ahead and give it a shot. Just let me know before hand, so I can pack my junk and leave town."
Bonnie simply stared at me in disbelief then instantly replied.
"No! I will help you. Just let me speak to the rest of my friends. I know that if you and I work together we can prevent Silas from rising."
I gently stopped rocking Chucky and replied.
"Very well, speak with Jeremy and convince him to help us. If not, I think I know where I can find another Hunter who would be more than happy to give us a hand. He might be a bit hard to track down, but I'm sure that with my hacking skills I can find him."
Bonnie then tilted her head slightly and asked curiously.
"Is that the Hunter you said died? I also had no idea you were a hacker. You sure don't look like one."
At this, I blushed slightly and replied.
"Yes, well you are correct about the Hunter. And I blame my appearance entirely on Rebekah. She did this to me."
Bonnie actually laughed at that and replied.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You look very pretty, by the way."
I gave her a bright smile and replied sincerely.
"Thank you, Bonnie. You are also much more prettier in person than in my visions."
She merely smiled and gave a slight blush at my compliment. She then gave a deep sigh and said.
"Well, I believe that we have an alliance then."
I merely raised my eyebrows skeptically and asked.
"Even if your friends are against it? I bet you the hundred dollars Klaus owes me that Damon doesn't trust me and is completely against our plan. All for the sake of your dear best friend and I don't mean Caroline. I actually like her. She seems really cool and nice."
At that, I heard the sound of a small, "Yes!", but I decided to disregard it. Bonnie merely narrowed her eyes and replied honestly.
"I know that you are being honest. I'm not sure why or how, but I just know. Besides, you are only human. What could you possibly gain or lose by helping us take down Silas?"
I slowly stretched my hand across the table with my palm facing up and waited for Bonnie to take my hand. Bonnie slowly reached over and placed her hand in mine. She then took a deep breath and replied with a smile.
"Nothing. I don't feel a thing."
She slowly opened her eyes and I gave her a kind smile. I then gently craddled her hand in mine and said sincerely.
"Bonnie, I give you my word as a woman that I will not betray you and that I sincerely wish to help you and this town."
Bonnie then squeezed my hand back and replied honeslty.
"Thank you, Diamond. You didn't have to do this for me and my friends. You could have simply not cared and let us all die and suffer at the hands of Silas, but you didn't. So, thank you, and I also give you my word as a woman and as a witch that I will not betray you."
I smiled then gave her a small nod and removed my hand from hers. I then leaned back and replied.
"I guess it's settled then. We should remain in contact in case some people around here try anything dumb."
Bonnie nodded then grabbed a napkin and pulled a pen from her purse. She then wrote down her number and handed it over to me. I gave her a small smile and replied.
"I'll text you as soon as I get my phone. Let me know what Jeremy and your friends say. If he refuses, let me know as soon as possible, so I can tract down the other Hunter."
Bonnie frowned slightly at this, but agreed nontheless. We then proceeded to both stand from our chairs and push them back in. Bonnie then stretched her hand out to me and said.
"It was nice meeting you."
I shook her hand and replied seriously.
"You too, Bonnie. Please stay in touch. We have to get everything in motion as soon as we can."
Bonnie instantly nodded in understanding then suddenly bit her bottom lip. I stared at her questioningly, and she then turned to stare directly at me. She rubbed the side of her arm and stated sincerely.
"Don't be offended, Diamond. I am honestly curious. Why do you carry a doll around?"
I actually laughed at her question the turned Chucky to face her directly. Bonnie's eyes widened and she instantly said.
"Wait a minute, isn't that Chucky?"
I snickered at her tone and replied.
"Yes, it is. It was the last one in the mall and Rebekah was kind enough to get him for me."
Bonnie stared at me skeptically and asked.
"And you like him?"
"I chose him. Chucky is the best."
"He's a serial killer."
"There's several of those in this room."
"Good point."
At that, we both couldn't seem to contain it and we busted out laughing. Bonnie then shook her head and said.
"Well, I'm heading back. Once again, it was nice meeeting you."
I gave her a small nod and a smile then replied.
"The same. Goodbye, Bonnie."
She smiled as well then turned to walk back to her table. I slowly turned around as well and slammed right into someone. I was about to start apologizing when I realized it was only Kol. I gave him a smile and replied.
"See, Kol? Nothing bad happened. Everything went very well. I knew I could count on Bonnie."
Kol merely gave me a strange bright smile then said sweetly.
"Indeed, everything went fine. Although, I believe either I heard wrong, or your interactions with me and my family have finally driven you insane."
I frowned and asked confused.
"What do you mean, Kol? I don't understand."
His sweet smile and tone instantly vanished and changed into something much more menacing. He wrapped one arm around my waist then took a hold of my chin with his other hand and said angrily.
"You must be completely mad if you think I am letting you leave town with the witch and Jeremy. Let me put it to you this way. You leave town and when you return there will be no Mystic Falls to arrive to. Now, who is this Eric and why does your mother insist you speak with him? Is there someone you forgot to mention to me, darling?"
I could merely stare at Kol in absolute fear as his face seemed to change into one of pure anger. My only and probably stupidest response to him was.
"He's ... my best friend."
Did I mention my response was stupid? As soon as the words left my mouth, Kol's face completely changed and he instantly lifted me up in his arms. He then flashed back to our table and took my phone away from Klaus. He then calmly sat me down on the chair and said with a smile.
"This is what happens when you talk to other guys."
He then grabbed my brand new phone and crushed it to pieces right infront of me. I stared at him with my mouth hanging open then quickly recovered and snapped.
"Kol! That was my new phone! Klaus gave that to me for my birthday! How could you just break it like that!"
Kol was instantly in my face snarling.
"I've told you a million times that you are mine! So, you either cut all ties with your previous boyfriend, or I will find a way to track him down and I kill him!"
What did he just say? Did he say my boyfriend? Ohhhh, so that's why he was mad. Well no wonder. I should have probably given Kol a bit more information rather than just my best friend. I merely shook my head then replied calmly.
"Kol, Eric is my cousin."
"I don't care how ... ! What?"
I gave Kol a small smile and replied.
"Eric and I were supposed to go and troll some people today. He's probably really ticked off that I bailed on him, and he's more than likely complaining to my mom. That's why she wants me to talk to him."
I then sighed and said tiredly.
"Now, my mother is going to kill me when I get back because I didn't get him off her back. All because you, with your crazy jealousy, broke my phone. Real nice, Kol. Real nice."
I then sighed and wrapped my arms tightly around Chucky. I casually looked over to the right and realized Elijah had returned and was reading the newspaper while drinking a small cup of coffee. Seeing Elijah read gave me an idea. I instantly turned towards him and asked.
"Elijah, do you think the Mystic Falls Library might have something about how I got here? I am rather curious as to how I got here, and I want to know if there's even the possibility that I can go back."
Elijah neatly folded his newspaper then placed it on the table and replied.
"Your chances of finding anything pertaining to your situation within this town's library are slim to none. Although, I believe they do have a forbidden section in which council members are the only ones allowed access. I could perhaps accompany you and see if we can take a look into their literature."
I instantly smiled and asked excitedly.
"Really, Elijah? I would really appreciate that."
He gave me a small smile and replied.
"It is nothing, Diamond."
He then lifted back his newspaper and went back to reading. I was about to turn and ask Kol for his advise on the matter, when someone instantly bursted into The Grill screaming.
"FIRE! FIRE! SOMEONE CALL 911! HURRY!"
With that, I quickly rose from my seat and looked over at The Originals. To my surprise Klaus seemed deeply amused and Rebekah seemed uncaring. Elijah, seemed to have a look of confusion, but when he looked in my direction, he frowned, clearly displeased. I turned to look at Kol and realized he was no longer standing next to me. My only thought at that moment was ...
WHERE THE HECK IS KOL! ?
I began to panic and instantly said to Klaus.
"Klaus! Kol is missing!"
Klaus smirked and simply replied.
"Let's go see what all the commotion is about."
He then placed his drink down and stood up from his chair. Rebakah and Elijah shortly followed and made their way towards the door. I quickly walked after them and out the front door. I instantly felt the temperature increase and myself be blinded by a strong light. I covered my eyes slightly then blinked several times. When I was finally able to see clearly, I nearly screamed. The Mystic Falls Library was on fire!
I watched as the entire inside of the building was engulfed in flames while nobody did anything. It was then that I heard Klaus laugh and say casually.
"This is what happens when you try to challenge Kol. I warned you that he always gets what he wants, sweet-heart."
I stared at Klaus in horror and asked in disbelief.
"Kol did this?"
It was then that I noticed Kol walking towards us, calmly throwing a lighter in the air, while whistling a happy tune. Klaus simply smirked and replied.
"What do you think, love?
