I read everybody's reviews and I am glad you all like the story. I do not know if I am going to introduce the cure or do something else. I am not going to tell you guys everything, so you will just have to wait. I will share that there will be no sire bond, no killing off Jeremy and Bonnie, and that the dreams will eventually end. Also there is something about the options Lenore and Klaus talked about. Sorry for making you all wait for an update but here are the next two chapters.
…
The fire roared during this season. It was all about family and friends in the village at the moment. Without even noticing she was getting quite the attention from several men just be the way she danced. No one could see her face due to the huge mask on it. All the saw were her long crimped hair and body that was also hidden by her jade dress. The fun wasn't even on her mind it, it was the fact her favorite animals were to be killed, and that she couldn't bring her daughter with her to festival. She lifted her mask up to face one brother before the other one pulled her into a kiss. One she shoved off before walking off a little away from the other one's view.
When he was kissing her again, something rippled and they were not near the bonfires. Their lips pulled away from one another and she smiled at him.
"Elena." He spoke to her and caressed her cheek. He watched her take off after they both heard Elijah was ready for her lesson. The angry brother approached the older brother "Remember this one is mine. Not yours."
Elijah said nothing and walked off to find Elena for their lesson. The beauty sat on the bar in front of the black shiny piano Klaus had ordered just for her lessons. Usually it was Elijah who taught her piano, but Klaus would sit on the lessons or teach her himself. But that would cause a fight between the two brothers since they both wanted time with the Bulgarian beauty before her death that awaited for her.
The beauty herself could hear Klaus speaking with someone, a female about pushing something back another month. Those words were heard more frequently lately. Something was happening and yet it was being pushed back for some reason. Either someone would be lost or dead so the event was pushed back. Though she was quiet she heard a lot of what was doing on. She knew something was different about her lords, but she did not question it at least\ not until she knew what she was dealing with.
...
Our lips parted and both faced the blue eyed Salvatore in full on rage after witnessing the kiss I had just shared with Klaus. All of us froze still. Klaus and I out of waiting for what the vampire would do, and Damon was probably wrapping his mind around the fact of the matter he just caught the girl is in love with the evil hybrid. Stepping back from Klaus, I turned to face Damon to him still in fury. I felt Klaus step in front of him when we both saw Damon's eyes changing rapidly.
"I would calm down Salvatore boy before you find your neck broken." Klaus warned Damon while we continued to wait for Damon to say something. Anything would have been better than the silence. But still he said nothing before Damon took off. Klaus wanted to say something, but I left in the same hurry.
I knew we needed to talk about the kiss and the options we were facing, but I just couldn't. Once I saw the look on Damon's face, I knew the same reaction would follow by the others. Caroline would yell and screech, Bonnie would be silent with disappointment. Stefan would run off like Damon had, Matt would mumble something before brooding. Tyler would have nothing but bad things to say about Klaus, Jeremy would fear for my life as would Alaric. I was a doppelgänger meant to be used in sacrifices like Tatia and Katherine. I was meant to die, but now I am faced with some difficult things in my life that I wish I knew how to fix all of them.
Maybe I had to leave to fix things, but I am sure things would follow me. At least there was never a dull point in my life anymore. Someone was always out to kill somebody I love or a something had happened to them. Life was much easier when I was just Elena Gilbert. Not the doppelgänger, not the one everyone needed to protect, not the girl who died twice and lived. I was just a popular kind girl who had an amazing family.
Everything seemed better when I was in the water think I was going to die. I knew Jeremy could live a normal life once Alaric and I were gone. Damon and Stefan would eventually move on just like the rest of my friends. And I could be with my parents and Jenna. But fate is sick and twisted. It made me into a vampire which let Alaric live, but at least it was his good side that had lived. Fate once again gotten twisted when it made me the soulmate of the evil murderous psychopath unkillable original hybrid.
Maybe Klaus was right when he had said there was worse things than loving him. He had been very different around me since we had found out about we were destined to be together. We probably would have a cute baby...did I really just admit that? But it is true. Maybe a little girl with my hair but Klaus's blue eyes. Or a boy with my eyes and his blonde hair. That was never going to happen since we can't ever have children of our own. A family was always in my life's plan, but now it isn't. Now it was about college and seeing the world without being staked or having my heart ripped out before I can. I'll have to move around every ten years anyways just so people won't notice how I am not aging. I could settle down, but not for the rest of my life just for a few years.
...
When I finally walked my way to my family's house, Caroline and Bonnie were waiting for me on the front porch. Caroline had that bitch look on her face along with her arms crossed over one another against her chest. Bonnie just had a concern look on her face which always worried me. The look in her eyes always did that because it meant bad news that revolved around me.
I was the first one to speak since they just seemed content on staring at me. "What is it now?" I asked them as I walked up to the porch.
"Where were you?" Bonnie spoke next in a calming voice while taking a seat one of the chairs on the porch. Taking a seat on the porch swing, I kept my eyes on them. Mostly Caroline because she kept the look on her face. I could tell something was building up inside of her.
"Cemetery. I went to go talk to my mom and dad." Crosses my legs over one another onto the porch swing while I placed my hands onto my lap.
"Were you by yourself?" When Caroline asked that she sounded like she a venomous snake with all the hissing she was doing.
"I was at first then, Klaus showed up and Damon did too." I told them before I had notice their looks grow more intense. Caroline looked more jealous than concern. I don't see why she would be jealous with all of this. She hated Damon, and she always seemed to hate Klaus. "If you two are here to give me a lecture than save it. I am a big girl, I can talk to or hang out with anyone I want to even Klaus." I didn't mean for it to sound like I was snapping at them, but I needed to get my point across to them. Bonnie accepted it and left the porch, but Caroline stayed back for a few seconds to glare at me before walking off with Bonnie. I just let out a sigh and stayed out on the porch longer. I hated when everyone was trying to control me. Everyone of course hated Klaus, I hated Klaus but I don't know if I hate him anymore.
Still he was a killer, a murder. Klaus killed Jenna, but both Damon and Stefan have killed people, Alaric has, and even Caroline. Everything is just so damn confusing. The dreams were making my emotions for Klaus grow, but I don't know if dream Klaus can ever be the real Klaus I know.
Instead of going inside I rocked myself back and forth on the creaky porch swing my dad put in right before Jeremy was born. Being on the porch swing made me think of my mother and father. Being in their bedroom once Jenna's room and now Alaric's room, just made it sad. And being at the lake house just reminded me of John, my parents, Jenna, and even the good times with Stefan before Klaus. Klaus the one who turned Stefan into a ripper again, the one murdered two people in front of me before killing me. Well technically draining every drop of blood out of my body. But he kissed me, helped me when all my friends were annoying me and even came to comfort me when I was upset about the decisions.
...
The next six days I got up, went to school, hung out with Matt, Tyler or Bonnie, and then I went home. I didn't speak to Caroline, Stefan, Damon, or Klaus. Rebekah didn't even bother me at school; Nik...I mean Klaus probably ordered her not to. During my time when I was at home after I hung out with my friends, I would think of my decision with Klaus I had only two since obviously a vampire like couldn't get pregnant and Klaus couldn't have children. I've never had sex without love, but I don't know if I could love a man like Klaus. The dreams I had been having just keep messing with my mind, and are making it hard to sleep at night. Knowing by midnight Klaus would want my answer I arranged to meet with the one person who knows the real Klaus better than anybody including Rebekah.
Sitting in a booth at the Grill, I tapped my fingers against the coffee cup in my hands. It was a cold day outside, terrible rain. So I had to dress the way any human would do so. A pair of long black skinny jeans, a cream colored crochet tank top with halter straps and one black leather jacket Bonnie bought for my last human birthday. A purple umbrella was down by my black combat boots. Matt had come by a few times to fill my coffee cup and to check on me. He kept asking who I was waiting for, but I told him nothing. When a chill stroke me sending massive chills through my body, even my heart ached a little. I stood up seeing my guest still looking the way he did from the last time I saw him.
"Elena." The noble Mikaelson said as he removed his heavy black rain coat which protected his navy pinstripe suit and grey button down with a navy tie. I stood up and approached him before we shared a hug "I never thought I would see you or even hear from you ever."
"I need to speak to you about your sibling." I said while we both sat in the booth across from one another.
"I know what Rebekah did. I am sorry she ended your human life. But if you want to complain about her speak with Kol or even Niklaus." He spoke to me that just made me laugh as I shook my head.
"I am not here to talk to you about Rebekah. I want you tell me if Klaus has a heart or can ever be a good person." By the look on his face, I could tell he was shocked to say the least.
"Why?" Was all he could spit out. Then I began to explain to him about what has been happening for a long time. The dreams, my growing feelings for the Klaus in my dreams, and how I was completely and utterly confused on what I should do. After all of that and Elijah ordering a cup of tea, we both were silently other than we took sips out of our mugs. "Niklaus growing up had a heart, he even shared it Rebekah, Henrik, Kol and I as siblings. Also shared it with Tatia as a lover. As I shared my love with her too. When my mother turned us into what we were and killed Tatia, Niklaus became a cold man. His soul purpose in life became breaking the curse and making anyone who tried to hurt or betray him pay for it. When Rebekah wanted to leave him for Stefan, he put her in a coffin. Like he did when Kol was putting us in jeopardy of our father finding us. The Niklaus I knew growing up no longer exists Elena. He doesn't feel love or empathy any more. If you were to fall in love with him, you would just end up getting hurt at the end. Now I am not advising you to hop into the sack with him either. Just know a leopard can never change its spots."
My eyes just stared at Elijah since my lips could not say anything even though they were parted like she was going to speak. Was Elijah right? Could Klaus no longer love someone? Maybe I just fallen in love with a dream. That's it, I didn't love Klaus the person. I loved the Klaus in my dreams, and once those were gone I was free to actually love a real person. I gave Elijah a kind smile before I spoke.
"Thank you for the help Elijah." Spoke to him while I placed a few bills on my table. "I have to go. I hope to see you again Elijah." I grabbed my umbrella and then left to go back to my house. While I was walking to my car, I took out of my phone and sent Klaus a text to come to my house tonight. I finally decided on what to do with Klaus all thanks to my personal opinion and what Elijah had told me.
