Sorry for those of you who are also reading the Bella/Damon version as in this chapter Bella's story will be repeated.
Anyways, hope you'll like it!
"She is your what?!" Stefan moved closer, his eyes wide open. I sighed and walked to Damon, we shared a glance.
"My best friend. Annabelle is my best friend." I smirked as their eyes widen from surprise. There was a moment of silence andddd then all hell broke loose.
They started yelling simultaneously, thank God for my vampire hearing because it was something like that.
S: How come I don't know about this?
K: You told me that you had never met him. Why did you lie to me?
E: Damon has a best friend?!
S:And she is Katherine's twin sister? Are you kidding me? What's wrong with you, Damon?
K: Did you date him? Of course, you did! How could you sleep with my ex boyfriend, Annabelle?
E: Damon is your best friend? Damon Salvatore? Are you sure we are talking about the same Damon here? Tall, raven haired, blue eyes, cocky behavior 24/7? Kind of hates everyone except for himself...
S: And why is no one reacting at the fact that there are three Elenas here?
K: Does he know? Did you tell him, sister? Your precious secret that you almost didn't share with me?
E:My head hurts. Too much information for one day.
All at once!
I looked at Damon, who looked as overwhelmed as I did. I pursed lips and he shrugged his shoulders as they continued yelling over each other.
"You or I?" I asked, knowing that he will understand what I was asking. He smirked and waved his hand.
"There are more ladies in the group so I'll let you take this one." I smiled, the yelling still continuing. At this point I had given up trying to understand what they were yelling.
"Fine with me." I stepped closer to the yellers and waved my hands." Hey, hey! Enough, stop!" They went quiet." Good. Okay." I pointed at Stefan" You don't know because I suppose you never asked." I pointed at Katherine. "I said that I'd never met Stefan, this doesn't automatically mean that I've never met his brother."I pointed at Elena." Yes, he has a best friend. Why are you so surprised?"
Back to Stefan.
"Yes, I'm Katherine's sister, but I don't appreciate being called that. I have a name. It's Annabelle." I looked at Katherine. "Why did you immediately assume that we've dated? Isn't it possible for a man and a woman to have a purely platonic friendship?" I winked at Damon, who just smirked widely."Not that we haven't slept with each other but why do you always expect the worst of people?" I smiled and turned to Elena. "Yes, sweetheart, we are talking about the same Damon. Why shouldn't he be my best friend? He is an awesome guy. You should really get to know him before you make the wrong assumptions about him." Stefan again."No one notices because I have compelled them not to. Problem?" I looked at my sister. "He knows some parts of it. But nothing too specific. Until now it was too dangerous to tell him. And, Elena, sweetheart, my head hurts too. Believe me."
They stayed silent for a moment.
"But how..." Stefan started but Damon stopped him a gesture.
"Peep! Your time is over. The Belle/Damon are BFFs information centre has just closed. For more information, please, call tomorrow. Working hours: 9am-6pm. Thank you for visiting us. Have a nice day." He said, faking a horribly polite voice. I started laughing. But seeing how mad and serious they were I stopped it abruptly, regaining my composure.
"Ok. I suppose that you would want to know the whole story, right? Please sit down so I can tell you everything." Katherine pursed her lips along with Elena. And wow they looked alike! But even with the famous Petrova stubborn face on they sat on the bar. Stefan on the other hand, just stood there, his hands crossed on his chest.
"Oh, Stefan sit down." Elena said with annoyed voice. "Despite everything, Annabelle is here to help. Come on, sit down."She patted the seat next to her and for my big surprise Stefan obeyed. He really must have loved that girl. I raised my eyebrows and turned to Damon.
"How do you want to do it? I say you sit down and hear my full story and then we tell them more about our story." I smirked and he winked at me.
"Sure. You've been promising to tell me your secret for 120 years. I'm dying to find out." He raised his eyebrows and slightly tilted his head to one side.
"120 years...You've known him for..."But seeing my glare she stopped. "Fine. My lips are sealed." She pretended to lock her lips.
I took a deep/annoyed breath. Tough audience, I have to say.
I narrowed my eyes and started my story, trying to miss a few key moments without then realizing it.
"One thousand years ago in a horrible little village, later town, called Mystic Falls, a family lived in peace with the other inhabitants- the big scary wolves, later called werewolves. There was the witchy Mommy, the psychopath Daddy and their 5 little, well not so little but for the sake of the story go with me, children. The werewolves had only one rule-the family had to stay locked in their house during a full moon. But one night, one of the older boys and his little brother broke the rule, resulting in the death of the little brother. The psychopath Daddy freaked out and forced the witchy Mommy to promise to find a way to protect the family. The Daddy was thinking this way-the werewolves were really fast so the family had to be even faster, the werewolves were strong so the family had to be even stronger, the werewolves were almost indestructible so the family had to be immortal.
Mommy the witch obeyed. She did what she had to do and found a way to turn her kids and husband into the first batch of vampires ever. Mm..."I paused." But here comes the interesting part. Now you see, I guess the psychopath wasn't giving the Mommy what she needed so she sort of found it with one of the werewolves. She cheated on her husband...resulting in her being pregnant. She, of course, lied and told everyone the baby was the psychopath's. Oh, interesting fact, the werewolf baby is the older brother who broke the rule. Now, the Mommy was standing in front of a huge dilemma. She knew that her son was carrying the werewolf gene and if she turned him into a vampire, with his first kill he would turn into a hybrid. And that's even more unnatural than the actual vampirism.
She had to do something and she had to do it quickly. There is a reason why I call the Daddy a psychopath and the Mommy knew her husband all too well. She knew that is she didn't turn her son into a vampire along with her other children, the Daddy will find out about her dirty little doggy experience.
Now pay attention kids as it gets complicated. In the village there were two twin sisters. One of them, Asa, was a powerful witch and the other one, Tatia, was so beautiful that all men were falling in love with her as soon as they laid eyes on her. The Mommy begged Asa to help her with the spell she wanted to place on her son to repress his werewolf side. Asa gladly agreed, knowing that she'll make a good deed. I guess that the Mommy the witch had picked up some of her husband's insanity because what she did next was to say the least wicked. Asa and the Mommy were secretly making the spell but what Asa didn't know was that the blood used for the ritual was actually her twin sister's.
Everything worked out pretty well for the Mommy until Asa found out about her sister's murder. The Mommy had underestimated the wrath of Asa. She made sure that nobody knew about her part of the ritual and then secretly placed a truth telling herb in the Mommy's tea. She, of course, then started spilling all of her dirty little secrets. How she had cheated, how she had put a repressing curse over her son...ya know all kinds of pretty stuff.
The psycho, of course, flipped and killed her. Which was, I guess, tragic to someone who cares. The Daddy became obsessed with staying alive forever. He burnt the only tree, which wood could kill them but unfortunately all he wanted was for HIM to stay alive. His kids were not in the forever-living category. And that's how the psychopath Daddy became the psychopath- vampire- hunter Daddy.
However, the kids ran away but the son, who now knew that he had the potential of becoming the strongest being in the world, became immediately obsessed with finding a way to break the curse. Usually what is used to seal a curse is the key to unseal it. In this case- a witch, a moonstone and the doppelganger of Tatia. There were a few extra stuff like a vampire and werewolf but that was easy.
But what he didn't know is that there was one last so called ingredient he didn't know about- Asa. She, of course, wasn't immortal so she eventually died but not before she gave birth to a child.
500 years later in a small village in Bulgaria ( AN: I'm actually from Bulgaria too :D) a pair of twins was born. Meet Katerina and Annabella Petrovi. Their mother, descendant of Asa, transferred her powers to Annabella. And the other twin, Katerina, she was so beautiful that all of the men were falling in love with her as soon as they saw her. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Unfortunately Katerina made the mistake of sleeping with a man before she was married, resulting in her giving a birth of a beautiful baby girl, which she never had the chance to hold because her father banished her to England. Her sister, Annabella, couldn't stand to be away from her so she followed her sister to England. Their mother helped Annabella and made her promise to protect Katerina because a great danger was hanging over her head. It's the perfect moment to mention that even though Annabella was very young, she was a really powerful witch. She found her sister and immediately understood that she had got there too late. The son and his brother had found their doppelganger.
Annabella was smart. She instantly knew what his intentions were. She did..."I paused and looked at my sister." ...what she had to do to save her sister from sure death.
I guess I have to make it clear. The son, who is cursed, is Klaus and his brother...that's Elijah."
"But...how do you know all of this?" Stefan made a step forwards, his expression confused.
"And where did the legend about the Sun and the Moon curse come from then? Damon asked.
I pursed my lips.
"Don't interrupt me and I'll tell you. I haven't finished my story yet. The Sun and the Moon curse was faked by Klaus and Elijah. What is the best way to find a long lost stone and a doppelganger? To have two warring species searching for them.
And as for where I know so much from...Annabella made sure that her sister had escaped but she stayed behind. Because...she was in love with Klaus. And he was in love with her too. So much that he turned her into a vampire so that they can live together. Forever.
Hmm... but you see, even though Anabella loved him, she had been warned by her mother never to tell that she is a Petrova witch. And thank God she didn't tell Klaus. Because as it turns out for the curse breaking ritual it can't be just any witch. It has to be a Petrova witch.
I need to mention that the witch carries on the blood line of the twins. Of course, if Annabella had had a baby, after a few hundred there would have been a new pair of twins. One of them a doppelganger and the other one a witch. But since she didn't when she was turned into a vampire a funny thing happened. Oh, it even rhymes.
Katerina's baby couldn't give birth to another Petrova witch since its mother wasn't. And there always has to be a way for a curse to be broken and for that a Petrova witch is needed. So...when Annabella was turned..."
"She became both."Kat finished. I looked at the them. Except for Kat, all the others had their mouths wide open and their eyes the size of frying pans.
"But how is this possible? Witches say that one can never be both. It's not natural." Stefan shook his head still unconvinced.
"Oh believe me I know and Annabella now known as Annabelle pays the price every day. But since the Petrova twin witch's job is to protect her sister, the doppelganger, and Elena doesn't have a sister because she is a descendant of Katerina's child..." I concentrated, put my palm up and watched as a huge ball of fire appeared in its centre. I turned my gaze towards their amazed faces.
"... I'm here to protect her." And I hoped that the real reason why I was here was going to stay hidden for as long as possible. After all, I needed to buy Rebekah some more time.
But one thing was sure. I was NOT going to let the love of my life die, just because he had pissed off a few important people.
I was going to save Klaus at any cost. Even if I had to sacrifice my friends, Elena, Stefan or even myself.
Hey! Just so that you'll know, from 29.03 -07.04 my class and I will be having an excursion to Italy so I probably won't be able to post new chapters.
Sorry! But I'll probably post a new chapter on 09.04.
