Lydia's P.O.V.
Nik and Elijah are so sweet! I do not know why Damon and Stefan are so fearful of them. They have shown me nothing but kindness. Nik wanted to keep me with them but I had asked to go back home to be with my brother and Aunt Jenna. He sighed but let me. "Love, I just want you safe and with you being around the Petrova Doppelganger, you aren't." I nodded and shyly kissed his cheek. He smirked as I looked down at my shoes, they suddenly becoming quite interesting. He let out a chuckle and lifted my head with his thumb and forefinger cupping my chin.
"Let us get you home, flower." I nodded and looked down at my camera with a timid smile. I will never forget what Nik said about my photos. Nik or Elijah. We left Elijah's penthouse and they dropped me off with sad smiles. I waved to them as I padded up the stairs only for the door to burst open and I become smothered by Jeremy's hug. "Where have you been?! I was worried sick, Lydia."
"I am sorry Jer. I'm fine I promise. Is sis in?"
"No. She is still at the Salvatores. I think they said something about possibly trying to trade in katherine to protect Elena."
No One's P.O.V.
Unbeknown to either, Elijah and Klaus were still there, listening to them. They could both hear the warmth in their mates brothers voice as he spoke to her and that made them feel a bit better. They still hated having her away from them. " That damned doppelganger. I will have them both."
With the Salvatores Elena started to form a plan. She knew that Damon had a crush on her perfect sister so he may not agree with it at first but she is sure he will come around. He will love her in the end, and she will have what she wants. A world where everyone wants to be her or be with her. She will not stand for anyone getting in her way, not even Lydia, sweet innocent Lydia- her own baby sister. Elena went downstairs to see Caroline and Bonnie talking with Stefan, Damon off to the side pouring himself another drink. "Nice of you to finally join us in the plan to save your life, Elena." Elena frowned at the bite in his tone. It was obvious that he was still angry at her for 'abandoning' Lydia with Elijah.
She internally scoffed, ' What does that baby have that I don't? I am ten times more beautiful than she ever will be! He should want me not her!' She could not wait to put her plan into action. "Damon, why are so snippy with me?! I told you what happened! Look, we have got to figure out how to save her and get Klaus to leave. Why not just give him Katherine?" They went on to discuss the pros and cons of that.
Back at the Gilbert house, Jeremy and Lydia were sitting on the couch together watching movies. "I swear, jeremy, they were nothing but kind to me. Nik was sweet and gentlemanly the whole time. They even brought me back here safe and sound. They aren't bad at all. Maybe for Elena but when have the Salvatores done something to protect us, Jer? They only care about Elena, they won't care who gets hurt and we've already lost mom and dad, I cannot and will not lose you too." Jeremy sighed in defeat, knowing his little sister was right.
"Okay sis. I believe you." He smiled and kissed her forehead. Both Mikaelsons hearing that sighed in relief, knowing that she would not be hurt by the Salvatores, putting their trust into their sweet flowers brother to protect her whilst they cannot. " Shall we begin brother?"
"Only after our family is awakened. It is time to show these baby vampires why we are to be feared." Elijah smirked to his younger hybrid brother, who smirked back, mischief shining his eyes. "Let's get this party started then brother." They left and when they arrived to the house Niklaus had bought and intended to renovate, Elijah saw the coffins with his siblings within. Nik removed the daggers from his siblings and the two Originals waited for their siblings to awaken. Rebekah was the first to wake. She sat up and glared at her brother. "How dare you dagger me Nik!" Nik had the decency to look down in shame as Kol and Finn awoke, all equally angry. " I am sorry. I just wanted to protect you from father." The other siblings, suffice to say, were shocked at their volatile siblings heartfelt apology.
Finn stepped forward and hugged Nik to him. " I have had plenty of time to get over my anger Niklaus. Do not do that again. I won't forgive you the next time you do so." Nik looked to his other siblings hopeful and Kol sighed and rolled his eyes. "Ugh fine. Why do you two smell like flowers?" Rebekah burst into laughter at Kol's suspicious look. "We have found our mate, brother." rebekah stopped laughing abruptly. "Truly?! And where are they?" Nik pinched his nose at the excited squeals coming from his sister. " We actually share the same mate, sister. She is siblings with the doppelganger." The other Mikaelsons stared in shock at Elijah and Niklaus. Finn spoke up, "Well where is she? You have not left her have you, little brother?" Elijah frowned, worry shining in his eyes, " We left her with her brother, as she asked us to. But I fear that the doppelganger will try to harm her and her beloved brother. There are these two brothers, the Salvatores, with whom the doppelganger covets. She may try to get them to harm them" Nik growled at the thought, his face twisted in anger at the thought of his sweet little flower harmed in anyway.
"We shall help, brothers." Rebekah spoke without hesitation. " Any who threaten one of ours will face our wrath." Elijah smiled with relief on his handsome face. "Time to play." Kol smirked roguishly and Finn looked solemn at the thought of death but wanted to help his brothers, his family- even if he viewed them all as monsters. He would not allow his brothers to lose their most precious jewel, their mate. "Where to first?"
"To pick up our little flower and her brother. I do not trust them to be safe in the same house as the bloody doppelganger." Rebekah had herself, as well as Kol and Finn, changed into more appropriate clothing and they left. Finn in the same car as Elijah and Nik and Rebekah and Kol following them in another car. When they arrived to the Gilbert home, Kol and Finn smelt a delightful smell. Rebekah looked at Kol with arched brows as he was already out of the car and desperately wanting to enter the house and find who had such a hypnotizing scent. Elijah and Nik looked at each other with furrowed brows, knowing what it means- they found their mate or mates as well. Elijah went up and knocked politely on the door and smiled at his little one, who opened the door.
He looked behind her and saw who he presumed to be her brother standing behind her. "Elijah! Nik! You're back!" He smiled, relaxing at the sight of her beaming face. She suddenly flushed, " Oh, i apologize, won't you two come in?" They nodded with warm smiles and were both in the house, on either side of her, hugging her close to them. Lydia turned to face Jeremy, "Jer this is Elijah and Nik."
"Thank you for helping her. I still can't fully wrap my head around the fact that Elena did that but thank you." Elijah nodded in reply as Kol and Finn had focused their gaze on Jeremy. They realized what it was as soon as their eyes fell on the teen. Jeremy looked confused on why the two other vampires were staring at him so intently. "Uh, Gracy? Why they staring?" Lydia looked between them before bursting into delightful giggles. Nik staring in awe at how his little flower seemed to positively glow as she laughed. " I think they like you Jerbear!" Jeremy flushed as he caught her meaning. "Lydia, may our siblings come in?"
"Of course they may! Please, do come in!"
Jeremy was suddenly accosted by two pairs of strong arms wrapping around him and being muzzled by the shorter of the two. "Kol, let the poor boy breathe!" Kol, as Jeremy know knew, relaxed his hold as the other, whom he guessed was Finn (From what his sister told him), also had a relaxed hold on him. "What the hell is going on?"
"You are our mate, Jeremy Gilbert."
Note: haha, surprise! Bet you weren't expecting a surprise like that! I think it'd be cute for him to be attached to the originals like this instead of making Finn suicidal like in the show. I wanted him to stick around and I love the prospect of jeremy possibly being gay or bisexual. He, obviously isn't in canon, but I thought this would fit my story best so I am making him actually be bisexual. I might even make this lead into the Originals! Who knows…..
Anywho, sorry for the long wait! Hope this'll make up for it! :)
