Chapter 6

Deceptions, Switch Flipping...Where's Stefen?

In the Past.

Elena stood very still as Ayanna and Esther measured her for her bride's clothes. Rebecca was showing her all the flowers she found for Elena's hair. She picked up the purple flower she found at the base of the white oak tree and turned to her mother, godmother, and the bride to be.

"What of this one?" Rebecca asked...

Elena almost laughed. Vervain, the flower of base of the white oak tree, is an ironically a choice of flower for her wedding day. She thought about it, this might be one few times she might be able get close to the flower, because vampirism seems be her ultimate destiny.

"I like it Rebecca. The color is so beautiful."

Esther smiled slightly. Her family had been falling apart tell day Elena stumbled into their lives. She knew one day magic will return her to where she was from, but she promised Elena she'd find way unite her with their family. She was determined to make this wedding the best, and Ayanna said she was going to soul bound Elijah and Elena so they could be able read the other better.

Ayanna looked at Elena "Go spend the day with you sister to be child Esther and I could complete this dress"

Elena looked at Esther who nodded, she got off the stool and grabbed Rebecca's hand who laughed and they both ran out the door for sister time.

In The future.

Stefan entered the dungeon of a mansion just outside of town. He was pissed that the Petrova doppelgänger was gone. He waited so long try get his lover for her betrayal, then she had go get her damn witch to entomb him. It was luck that professor freed him few years back, he drained the main and resume his identity, much like he did the real Stefan Salvatore. He opened the dungeon; a person could see a figure hutched in the dark corner.

"Your precious Petrova is gone into the past; I dare say your love affair is over, if history serves me right, there is a sixth Original who disappeared shortly after the Original Witch created them." He spoke with venom in his voice. HE hated Petrovas; the whole blood line is supernatural joke, just like the broken vampire in the corner's line.

The figure looked up, drained of blood and weak. "Least she's safe, I don't care how she returns whom she's with, as long as she's safe from you."

Stefan laughed threw the figure a dead rabbit laced with vervain to keep the captive weak but feed.

"You doppelgängers tend draw to the other of your kind like a moth to flame. Let's face it you and your brother are only here today because I wasn't awake, 500 years ago to catch the last doppelgänger."

He continued laugh his head off and shut the door. The figure slowly picked up the dead rabbit and drank it, there was a hiss of pain as the blood went down the figure's throat. He looked up into the sun rays that entered a bar window.

"Elena….Damon….be safe…please…"

IN THE PAST

Rebecca and Elena went to the lake to see Rebecca's brothers who were fishing for the family. Rebecca was so excited.

"You ready for your wedding night Elena?" Rebecca asked nervously. She often wondered what happen on the wedding night but her mother said when she's ready wed she'll tell her.

Elena had to blush. "Yeah, I'm nervous being a wife in general what if I'm no good at it?"

Rebecca stopped and sat down under the big tree, she looked at Elena shocked. Elijah adored the girl, constantly trading make sure she has the best.

"Oh Elena, I really don't think you realize just how much Elijah adores and loves you."

Elena sat beside her. "I'm just worried; What if he starts resent me for tying him down?"

Kol at the moment was walking up behind them and they didn't see or hear him. He had always been the quietest of his brothers. Kol heard Elena's worry and decided to step up and talk to Elena. Elena had started to always make sure he and his father wasn't alone, so he hasn't suffered a beating in weeks. He owed her, and most important he owed Elijah. He started his sister to be and sister by sitting next to them and speaking,

"Elena, Elijah never has spoken so much of one girl, not even when he perusing the Tatia tart. He helped the widows of the village the orphans, but never a young maid like you. Even when we were out, he talks about you so much it drives us crazy. Your so sweat and love surrounds you. Your selfish nature and ability put people first drew him to you."

Elena blushed at Kol's speech, when Rebecca spoke.

"You are changing us Elena. You took your time to now we, what others wouldn't do cause of the mystic power. You're my sister now."

Elena hugged Rebecca, remembering when she was murderous raging Orgininal of the future. Kol whistled and a stray Kitten came over he had found in the village. He picked up the kitten its colors vibrate as Elena's loving nature.

"Here I found her motherless, and figured you need company before your wedding. Then after wedding you might be little busy, Elijah probably have you tied to the bed having his wicked way with you"

Elena blushed again and took the kitten but not before she playingly punched Kol in the stomach.

"Elena why do you even care for Elijah's family, Tatia was only one he showed interest in before and she never did" Rebecca asked, Kol turned to Elena wanting know the same.

"I love Elijah yes, with everything I am. Family is just has important. I came from very small family. When the heart makes us fall in love, we don't get chose our hearts wants what the heart wants. Family we don't get chose. It comes with being born or falling in love. Family is always and forever here for you. This is my family Rebecca, you Kol Nic Esther, Ayanna, Finn, Elijah, Michel even though he is cruel. No matter what life brings you, no matter how much you fight with your siblings, never I mean never turn off the feelings you have for them. They make you what you are little sister, describe and define us. You're blessed with 4 big brothers who will always be there to protect you even kill for you, and a little brother who will adore you for eternity. Never forget what you feel for me, or your siblings, cause when you lose that you'll lose your ability love your soul mate, and Rebecca he's out there. It will take you while find him, but just like Elijah found me, you're going find yours."

Rebecca nodded silently when another voice disturbed the younger siblings bonding with their sister to be.

"I wouldn't listen to her Rebecca; no one can love an ugly person like you."

Kol groaned as he had been hoping to avoid this wrench. Elijah had made him promise to protect Elena from this wrench but really the tart won't learn. Elena signed and let her kitten go, she was afraid of it being hurt but this angry girl.

"Tatia, Father, Ayanna and Elijah told you stay away from Elena." Kol stated his eyes started storming when he looked at the girl, who looked so much like Elena, yet jealousy made her look so ugly. He personally never saw what his older brothers seen in the tart, whom was personally on his last nerve.

Tatia sneered at the young mage in anger, she answered Kol.

"I'm just wishing my young cousin a swift luck to thicken with child, cause she doesn't I will be, and Elijah will marry with me."

Elena started to shake, as Kol and his sister's eyes narrow. Rebecca quickly asked what Tatia implied.

"Are you saying your waist is thick with child?"

Tatia laughed, "Yes Elijah never left my bed, nor had Nic, I'm about a month thick. I'm off to tell Elijah and demand he marry me."

Elena's shakes got wildly as she silently stood and whispered.

"I know not whose child you carry but it's not my 'Lijahs. Your jealousy is going down a darkest path; no one will be able help you return. Think of your daughter, Layla. If what you spoke is true I demand Esther and Ayanna check you before you tell my Intended."

Tatia slapped Elena which caused Kol step up and push Elena behind him. His sister got up to comfort Elena.

Kol was angry, and he's unstable abilities over nature was now showing, and showing his abilities was stronger than what people thought.

"Leave wrench, before I do something I regret, and if you dare accuse Elijah of being father of the babe in your stomach, if there is one. I'll accuse you being a Harlot in mid-town."

Tatia paled. While everyone knew what she did, no one accused...because accuse meant the one accused had been intimate with the one who did the accusing. Kol was only 18 winters, she was 21, by village rules he was still a child, and she'll be thrown out. This was the Ritual of Cleansing, cleaning out those who took the flesh before it was time.

"You wouldn't"

Clouds started gathering in the sky, thunder rolled, and winds blew. Rebecca gasped when she realized, her brother wasn't a witch like her. He was a mage who controlled Nature…

Kol approached the tart that caused a rift between his older brothers.

"Try me Wrench. I'll protect my own, Elijah's my big brother, and Elena's my big sister. They are my family, and I'll protect my family."

Tatia looked at the girls behind Kol Michelson, she growled and turned around ran to her family hut.

Elena smiled and went hugged Kol whispering,

"And that Kol is meaning of Family. Your my little brother, always and forever, never lose your feelings of love and protection you showed just now little brother, cause it's your love, humor, devotion, and ultimate protection streak that bonds your siblings as one, and makes you ..You are human; never ever lose that in you, because losing it means losing the little brother we all adore"

Kol smiled and opened his arms and his little sister ran to him and he hugged both of his sisters, older and younger, vowing neither would no pain as long as he's around.

IN THE FUTURE

Kol was looking out the window, as he listen to Damon, the adopted older sibling of Elena, Jeremy, the younger sibling of Elena, and his older brother Klaus arguing on who was best as archery when new memory slammed into his head. He winced in pain as the memories entered his head, and one staying sticked into his head…her voice like she was right next to him.

And that Kol is meaning of Family. Your my little brother, always and forever, never lose your feelings of love and protection you showed just now little brother, cause it's your love, humor, devotion, and ultimate protection streak that bonds your siblings as one, and makes you ..you are human never ever lose that in you, because losing it means losing the little brother we all adore

Kol so wished he knew the feelings behind the memories, the love the woman he viewed as his big sister he always wanted. He wants feel it. He wants feel the protective streak he had when he stood up to the village tart, Tatia Petrova. He looked at the window, it was cloudy. Was he ready? He wondered.

Big sister is worth feeling, and maybe I can find my soul mate, or get Bonnie to look at me more than the creepy Orgininal brother. He thought as he closed his eyes. He knew he was , like Elijah who was still trying process 1000 years of feelings, going carry a lot guilt, but he looked around the room seeing Damon, Elijah, Bonnie, Klaus, Rebecca, Caroline, Matt, and Jeremy. He knew they'd be here. Stefan had disappeared, probably trying find a witch bring Elena back before mother turned them. He took deep breath, ya he is ready,, he close his eyes and reached into his mind, to the switch in back of his head, he always imagined since day he turned it off that it had a lot spider webs around it. He reached for the switch and flipped it up...and like his older brother, 1000 years of feeling came crashing down. He felt the love for his siblings, the protective nature of his siblings, he felt his heart falling for a particular witch in this room, and was afraid she'd destroy him if she knew. He felt the respect he had for Damon Salvatore, be so in love with his big sister, but knowing she was meant for another stood to aside, and declared Elena the sister he never had. He felt the closeness of Jeremy and how he so wanted is his friend when they were in Chicago, a mission for Klaus, but reality wanted someone his age a guy bond thing. He went to his knees and sobbed the emotions too much for his brain, this causing the room to freeze, this caused Damon who was closest to him to flash to his side to make sure he was ok. Klaus and Elijah and Finn so joined. None remembered him sobbing before.

"Klaus, Finn Elijah, big brothers please… help me...all the bloodshed I caused…" Kol sobbed into his older brother's arms. Klaus looked startled at Finn and Elijah.

Bonnie watched as the brothers, and Damon tried calming the youngest original male. She was attracted to him, but never will act on it as long as he acted like this. Rebecca got up and went over to her siblings as did Jeramy.

Rebecca whispered, "Kol?"

Kol looked up into his little sister's beautiful eyes, his baby sister, one who he swore protect yet never did after he turned it off; he felt the love he had for her, the tears just poured out of his eyes. ..

Elijah muttered to everyone, "He turned it on, after so long he finally turned it on..."

The siblings all hugged their youngest brother trying help him calm down, yet none of the supernatural of the room noticed outside when Kol started to sob...but Matt and Jeremy did, they looked out the window when they heard gush of wind, and when Kol started crying real tears…it started raining outdoors...proving least to the two non-supernatural of the group, that Kol is officially more than a Orgininal now..
