"We do. Actually I would say that we are rather very close. We know everything about each other." He raised his eyebrows, flashing me a crooked grin. I blinked a few times, still too surprised and confused to react in any way. I still hadn't figured out what was that I was feeling. I was looking at him, his mesmerizing eyes, his grin, his golden hair and I was wondering whether I wanted to go around running and screaming "Crazy hybrid on the loose!" or I wanted to jump on his neck and kiss him. I was feeling some sort of mixture between fear and desire.
"Everything?" Damon said with surprise, referring to my secret.
Damon's voice pulled me from my trans. His eyes were still pinned to mine and I had troubles thinking straight but I raised my head high, my eyes becoming emotionless. He raised his eyebrows again. We both stayed like that for a few seconds. My mind was working with 100 km/h , trying to figure out what to do. Tell Damon?
I tore my eyes from Klaus and turned towards Damon. He was still expecting his answer, looking at Klaus with such adoration that I realized that telling him wouldn't get me anywhere. Realization sunk deep in my soul. He was compelled and so was probably the rest of the town.
That meant that I had only one option.
I had to play along.
"No not everything." I said, shaking my head with a fake smile, hoping that Damon would keep his mouth shut. I turned my head to Klaus, praying that my acting skills were still as good as they were a few decades earlier. "But a lot of it, right...buddy?" I said with raised eyebrow. He smirked and looked down for a second, obviously finding my behavior amusing. I pursed lips.
He looked at me with tilted head then slowly reached out his two hands.
"Yeah but where are your manners, Belle? Won't you give your old buddy a hug?" He clenched and unclenched his fingers, smiling at me. A huge and fake sincerely happy smile grew on my face as I jumped off my stool and threw myself at him. Before we had even touched, I felt the almost unbearable electricity between us and when my hands hugged his neck and his found their way to my waist, I swear the electricity was so strong that I almost passed out. I shivered and for my delight I felt him shiver too. And this fact made me irrationally happy. I know it was stupid but the fact that he still felt it, after all this years, made me want to do my happy dance.
He slowly moved his lips to my ear, making me bite my lips so that I wouldn't shiver again, and whispered huskily in my ear.
"Gotcha." I pulled away abruptly as if a bee had stung me. All the happiness vanished as his eyes started shining. And for a moment I saw the Klaus all other people were seeing. The strong, invincible, cold-hearted hybrid with a hint of madness in his eyes. I swallowed thickly but plastered a huge smile on my face.
"Come on, Ric, sit down. We have so much catching up to do." He smiled and sat between me and Damon, who was still looking at him with unconditional adoration, which made me sick to my stomach.
"Yeah, Ric." Damon patted Klaus' shoulder with a smile. "How did you two meet?" He looked at me then at Klaus. I clenched fists and put a smile on my face.
"It's a long story, right Belle?" Klaus said with a smirk and ordered himself a glass of whiskey.
"Yeah, why don't you tell it? You tell it so good." He winked at me with tilted head and my heart skipped a beat.
"Sure." He took a sip and I couldn't help but to stare at his lips a little."Where should I begin?"

"So we are what? Supposed to wait around for them to catch up? Shouldn't we be searching for the crazy hybrid, trying to kill my girlfriend?" Stefan said and sat on the couch with a frown. As usual unpleasant feeling struck me as he referred to Elena as his girlfriend. Was he doing it on purpose?
I pursed lips.
"Mhm." I said with boredom and started opening the kitchen drawers one by one. Currently we were at Elena's house. I was looking for alcohol, just any alcohol at this point, Stefan was sitting on the couch and Elena was upstairs, taking a shower or something.
Elena, hmm. I'm going to say something that I'd never admit to anyone. I actually liked Elena. And the biggest problem was that I was seeing why Stefan was all over her. I was jealous, of course, but I kind of couldn't blame him. I guess that she was more like Belle than like me and that kind of pissed me off. Not that I could do anything about it. Once become a ruthless bitch, always be a ruthless bitch.
I slammed the drawer shut. There was nothing in there. And I had to wait for Belle. Boring.
I sat next to Stefan and was just about to say something when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I said and stood up.
"Where is Belle, Katherine?" I heard a familiar voice. I cursed in my mind and quickly flashed out. No one was supposed to know about her, yet.
"Rebekah, what happened to "Hi, Katherine. How are you, Katherine?" ?" She sighed and I smiled. I hated her and making her annoyed was giving me an extreme pleasure.
"Where is your sister?" She asked in her thick accent. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Catching up with a friend. What do you need her for?" Complication, there was definitely a complication. And in our case, where a crazy hybrid was involved, complications were potentially deadly.
I heard Rebekah's frustrated sigh.
"Do you know when she is coming back? She is not picking up her phone." Her voice got a little bit higher.
"No. What do you need her for?" I asked again. She was silent for a few moments. Like she was hesitating about something. Then I heard her loud sigh then her frustrated voice.
"I'm going to say this just one time and if you ever say this to someone, I'll deny it." This should be fun.
"I'm listening."
"I need your help." What a shock! I chuckled.
"Well that's a first." She snorted angrily and I smirked.
"Don't make me regret asking you."
"Help for what?" I ignored her.
"I can't tell you over the phone. I'll text you the address." Was she really thinking that I was so stupid? She may have been my sister's friend but she was still Klaus' sister. I started laughing.
"No way. How can I know that this is not a trap?" She snorted again.
"Well you can't know it but what you do know is that I adore your sister and she loves you, for reasons that are still mystery to me, so I'll won't hurt her by hurting you. For now." Wow, how she comforted me. And then I looked at the house. Not going meant that I had to stay there with the lovers. And I most certainly could not take another 'I love you so much' scene.
"Does Belle know?"
"It was her idea. Oh and bring a human with you. Preferably not someone you have an emotional attachment to. " Interesting.
"Fine. Where should I meet you?"
RPOV
"So are you going to tell me what it is that we are doing..." She looked around with disgust and I rolled my eyes. "...in the middle of the nowhere?" Like it wasn't enough that I had to stoop so low and ask her for help, now she was whining and the human she had brought was slowing us down. And I needed to do it before twilight.
She was looking at me stubbornly, obviously not having any intentions of letting it go. I sighed and kept walking. It was dark and was smelling horrible but my goal was pushing me forwards.
"We are searching for my daggered brothers so that we can undagger them." I said with a cold and bored voice. She made a snorting sound.
"Your daggered brothers?" She shook her head." How many brothers do you have?" She emphasized her every word. I tried to repress my annoyance and anger and answered in the same cold voice.
"I used to have five. Now I have four."
"And why do you want to find them? Don't we have enough Originals already? Do we really need more?" I glared at her and she smiled. I clenched fists, trying not to kill her.
"I suggest you watch what comes out of your mouth." I said through clenched teeth and she laughed.
"Why? What are going to do?" She continued laughing and I just couldn't stop myself. No one could treat me this way. No one could make fun of me.
I flashed myself and pinned her to the wall of the tunnel. My fangs popped out as I moved my face closer to her.
"Be careful, Katherine. Don't mistake my friendship with your sister for a Keep Katherine Alive policy. If you keep pushing me, I'll rip your heart out in a heartbeat." I expected to see fear in her eyes but nooo, actually the opposite. Her lips extended in a smirk as she tilted her head to one side. She pushed my arms and flashed away.
"Who are you saying this for? The human?" She nodded her head towards her." You and I both know that you are not going to kill me." My eyes blurred from anger.
"How dare you? Do you know who I am?" I shouted and her smile just grew.
"Yes, I know. You are Rebekah Mikelson, a 1000 years old Original vampire bitch, who for her long life has made only one friend and now would absolutely never do anything to risk that friendship. And that includes not killing her twin sister." She moved closer, smirking."Because we both know Belle, will hate you forever if you kill me." I clenched my teeth. She was right and we both knew it. But I couldn't just back down. I plastered a huge smirk on my face and said with the calmest voice I had.
"Don't push me, Katherine. Forever is a really long time, especially when you are immortal. Yes, she might hate me for a few hundred years but let's face it- Klaus and Belle are in love and they will eventually get married, which will make me and her sisters in law. Do you really think that she will be mad at me forever? What are you going to say now?" She shook her head with a smirk.
"I'd say that you are delusional and stupid but because you are stronger than me right now I'm going to say yes, Rebekah ,you are so very right. I want to kiss the very ground beneath your feet." I was just about to do something that was very bad when I looked at my watch. Fuck, we didn't have time. It was almost twilight.
I looked at Katherine and pursed lips.
"You are lucky that we don't have enough time. Let's go." I said and continued walking. I heard her low chuckle behind me and clenched fists.
"So how do you even know that they are in Mystic Falls?" She asked.
"Well, my brother travels a lot and for some reason he likes to carry them around with him."
"Yes, but how do you know that they are here? I doubt that he just told you." She looked around with disgust.
"He didn't. But I have lived with him long enough to know how he thinks."I paused."The coffins must be near him, yet not too close as to be easy to be found. So not his house. They need to be somewhere, where people don't go but yet in a place not too far away as to be difficult for him to reach him." I smiled." So I figured what a better place than the tunnels that go beneath the whole town." I shrugged my shoulders and she frowned. She just didn't want to let it go.
"But they can be anywhere. These tunnels are endless." Katherine pulled the girls arm and she almost fell over. I sighed.
"Well, he can't put them in his house but no one said anything about putting them beneath it. "She opened her mouth but I cut her off. " How do I know where his house is? Well, he never travels alone and I know all of his trustworthy vampire friends. " I paused and looked around. My eyes widen. "Ok. Stop. They have to be somewhere around here." I pointed to a group of caves.
"Where exactly? There are at least 100 caves here?" She asked and I snorted.
"Don't you think that if I knew, I'd tell you? The vampire told me where the house is, not which cave there are in. They have to me somewhere around here."
"Great. You check the caves on the right, I'll check the ones on the left. Ok?" I nodded and flashed towards the first one. After I had checked around ten, I heard Katherine's voice.
"Soooo...this guy just told you? Just like that? Without anything...in return?" I stifled a laugh. I knew what she meant. And I think that she forgot that I can compel vampires and just thought about what she would have done in my place.
"I don't know why you sound so surprised. Does Klaus struck you as very likeable person?"
"Well, no but..."
"No buts. Every single one of his companions has a reason to be there. One are compelled, others are there to protect someone they love or themselves but it is a fact that nobody actually likes Klaus. He is..."
"Rebekah..."
"Don't interrupt me. I hate that."
"No, Rebekah, come here. Now." She said with a high pitched voice and my stomach went up to my throat. I flashed towards the sound of her voice and stopped next to her abruptly, my hand flying up to my mouth. My eyes widen and my heart started beating faster.
They were gone.
The coffins were there but they were wide open and my hibernating brothers just were not there.
"Where are they? Where the hell are they?" I shouted and looked at Katherine.
"Klaus?" She asked but I shook my head. That wasn't him.
"He would have taken the coffins with him. No, someone brought them back to life." I shook my head, realizing what that meant with full force."Damn!"
"Why do you get so angry? You wanted this didn't you? To undagger them. "She shrugged her shoulders."Someone did our job...so what?"
"No, you don't understand. Someone took the dagger out but that doesn't mean that this someone fed them. Why do you think I asked you to bring the girl?" Katherine's eyes widen slightly."Currently there are two Original vampires ,who haven't fed for at least a hundred years, out there somewhere, wanting nothing else but to kill Klaus and in the mean time drain as much humans as they can. And since I know my brothers all too well I guess that they are probably going to kill any supernatural creature they come upon just to keep them in shape."
She shook her head and sat on one of the rocks. She raised her head.
"So I guess no one is safe then?"
"No one."
I hope you liked the multiple points of view.
