Hey guys, told you id have this chapter up pretty fast loll, this chapter gets a little confusing at the end because its switching back and forth from past to present, but I love this one….please review.
After I was satisfied Stefan was safe and Elena was in good hands I returned to mystic falls to look for something to keep me preoccupied. Lucas and Jonas were currently occupied while Elijah searched for the tomb, I knew the reason behind his search for the tomb but what bothered me more was his stubbornness. There was only one other vampire who possibly knew the location of the tomb and he was reluctant to revisit her once more.
(I'm bringing sexy back) my phone rang. I laughed to myself as I walked through park pulling out my phone, placing it to my ear.
"Good morning sweet heart, how did you sleep last night…" I teased, I always loved pretending we were madly in love and Elijah was my honey bunny. He hated it deeply when I gave him nicknames, and yet I loved making the original squirm.
He chuckled on the other end of the phone, but I could hear Jenna and Alaric in the background bickering over something.
"You did not return…" he stated calmly trying to not sound so caring, but I knew he had been worried. I smiled at that thought.
"You know, sleeping under the stars completely naked makes me tingle all over." Elijah growled into the phone, only low enough for me to hear. I laughed as I move to a nearby tree.
"I'm fine Elijah, I took care of the wolf problem, and Elena is safe…" I leaned my body against the tree. Feeling suddenly smug once more. "So what cha wearing…"
"Sylara…" I tsked at the tone he gave me, he was no fun.
"Did you find anything…?"
"…' he did not answer me, which meant no. I sighed as I glanced at everything around me.
"Elijah, I can speak to katerina and get the information out of her" Elijah must have been aware of this from the start, but there was only one person who knew of the witch's barrel ground other than the founding families. Oh but that was a bad idea. Elijah tone changed from playful to serious this time.
"No."
"But…"
"You will not go near the tomb, you will not speak to Katerina petrova, do you understand…" I huffed at his tone, I wasn't five years old. "Sylara…" he growled.
"Yes dear…" but I glanced toward the crowd to see Damon walking quickly, my nose instantly catching onto the smell of blood in his grip, and the smell of fresh cloths didn't go unnoticed either. A thought suddenly came to me before I returned to the phone my tone playful once more. "Are you going to punish me if I do.."
I disliked fighting with Elijah, but if I kept everything playful now then he wouldn't be as angry with me later. After he found out what I was planning to do. He could have compelled me to stay away from Katherine, but with the silver chain placed around my neck I was completely safe. My eyes landed back on Damon who was heading in the direction of the tomb.
I would never had done this unless it was truly necessary, but Elijah was to stubborn to do it himself. But also I needed to do this myself. It was time that I met the woman that caused this war between Elijah and Klaus. I would meet katerina petrova.
It was a little around early evening late afternoon when Damon walked out of the tomb where Katherine was supposedly being held captive. Pressing myself into a tress I let myself become cold to the world around me as Damon glanced from side to side, before he took off for the direction of his house. I would have gladly introduced myself, but it wasn't the time or the place to do such things. Besides Damon would have to wait, for I was about to meet the one woman I had only heard about.
Elijah had only spoke of her that day long ago. He had told me that katerina was to blame for what had happened between him and his brother. She's also the main cause of his families' deaths. That was long before I met Klaus, but the thought of seeing him now, made my cold blood boil. There was one more reason why I hated katerina petrova, but it was something I kept to myself. It was that reason alone that I felt rage enter my belly as I walked toward the entrance of the tomb.
The smell of decay was strong in the air, but a shiver made me pause. I hadn't felt that since Christopher and Sarah. Magic was something I had grown accustomed to sensing over the years, but this magic was old magic to me, so I did not question it. I drew closure only to pause as I looked at the entrance. The door had been pushed to the side, but the ancient writing was clear to see.
("Tread carefully milady…") I could remember Sarah's voice clearly as I had when I was human. Her warnings were always filled with concern and care that it warmed me a little. Moving closure I moved to the entrance only to pause as I smelled Damon and another scent that still lingered. Elijah had told me about the spell that had once be cast on the tomb, but now the curse had been lifted and I had nothing to fear. Still katerina was now compelled to stay in the tomb until Elijah said otherwise. I smirked, she better be glad that that was the only thing he did to her.
I moved inside the tomb my body tense, my senses on high alert as I made my way through each catacomb.
From what I had learned katerina had no way to gain blood from anyone due to her entrapment, so she would be weak and frail. Katerina was 500 years old at least while I was only a mere 220. Her strength would have over powered me easily, but if she was weak from blood, I would be stronger. Unfortunately the smell of blood still came to my thoughts as I glanced from side to side. Even with her full strength she'd have a tough time challenging me.
A shiver ran down my spine as I sensed the presence of another drawing near. With vampire speed I turned to grab their throat and threw them to the wall behind me. I tightened my hold on while my other hand latched onto her hands. My fangs bare, I could feel my eyes change color, but I paused.
I knew who this woman was the moment I entered the tomb, she was the only one here, but I was taken aback by the face I was looking at. I had known Elena was the doppelganger to katerina petrova, what I wasn't counting on was how much they looked exactly alike.
"Elena.." My grip loosened for a moment, giving her time to grab me and throw me back.
" Nope.." she hissed as she lunged for me once more, but I never gave her a chance to grab for me a second time as I latched onto her waist and threw on her back, before I launched a few feet back.
So this was katerina patrova the first doppelganger that had betrayed Elijah and Klaus for her own selfish reasons and became a vampire out of fear. This was the vampire I had been wanting to meet for the last 200 years. Soon katherin rose to her full height and lunged for me, but with quick speed I ran for the entrance.
With a pivot of my foot I stopped dead in my track right in the entrance. Katerina charged at me with great speed. Her arm extended at me before she was suddenly forced back by an invisible force. I smirked down at the girl.
"so you must be katherin pierce.." I watched her wipe her mouth while she patted the dirt off her dress.
"or should I say katerina petrova…" I growled my eyes betraying me ever so slightly to reveal the hem of red and black.
Katherine stood to her full height stumbling a few times before facing me her eyes glaring at me for a second.
"what is it you want.." but soon her eyes widened before she looked me up and down. I hadn't really paid too much attention to her movements until her eyes landed on the necklace wrapped around my neck along with the sweater I was wearing.
"Who are you…? She took a step back, clearly something about my clothes caught her off guard, but it wasn't until I sniffed the edge of my collar did I realize why, Elijah. I had completely forgotten about that part. I had taken an old sweater that belonged to the original vampire to cover my track if Elijah had decided to search for me, but I forgot to remove it once I had come to the tomb.
"Looks like my secrets out…" I moved to lean on the rock near the entrance; she could not touch me either way.
"Did Elijah send you….." she stated, her body tense while her eyes watched me carefully. Katerina feared Elijah for the same reason she feared Klaus, they both wanted her to pay for what she did, as did I. the memory of Klaus still flooded me to this day.
I couldn't help but giggle as his lips trailed down my neck his hands moving down the front of my corset before moving to the back. I gasped at the feeling of his hands untying the first lace.
"Elijah, if you keep doing that our guest will wonder what happened to us…" I moaned. It wasn't easy trying to tie your hair up when you had a 1,000 year old original hovering behind me.
Elijah chuckled against my throat before pulling away, but still remained close. In the mirror I could see his eyes trail down as he moved to place my necklace around my neck, making me shiver.
"Good sir, who knew you were such a man…" I teased before releasing my locks to let it trail down my back. Elijah preferred it up, but I liked it down, so that my hair hid the scares that trailed up my back.
I turned to face Elijah only to pause at the softness in his gaze. Something had been troubling Elijah for weeks now and he seemed reluctant to tell me.
"Elijah…" I whispered against his neck nipping roughly at the flesh careful not pierce the skin. When I had been human this would have not been a problem, but now as a vampire I had to be careful. "What troubles you…?"
He shook his head at me before placing a soft kiss on my lips letting one hand move to cup my cheek. Elijah could be so tender at times and seemed always cold whenever others were around. Moving my free hand to the placed against my cheek, I laced my finger with his.
"I love you Elijah…" I murmured against his lips as he pulled back. Even though he didn't say it I knew he felt the same way as he stood there before me. I could not understand why someone would try and hurt this man so badly. I did not know the reason behind Elijah hatred for katerina, but I knew deep down, he wanted her dead. I did not know her or care of her. But for this man I would end her life for him.
He smiled down at me before giving me a soft kiss only making my toes curl up. After a few moments of cleaning up we headed down stairs to be greeted by a crowd of quest. We had moved to Baltimore soon after my turning, and then finally Chicago, it was better that way.
"Give thanks to the new year…." Someone announced from afar causing everyone to yell out in cheers. I smiled, suddenly feeling human all over again. I had my arm wrapped around Elijah's for support as we walked through the crowd of humans. I could feel the ache in the back of my throat beginning to grow, but I only held onto him tighter. I was still considered a newborn which meant it was still very difficult for me to control my vampire half. I began to feel my eyes turn ever so slightly.
Before I knew it Elijah pulled me to the side where only a few could see before he dipped his head down to capture my lips. I did not fight him as he demanded entrance to my mouth. When I had been human, this act would have not been allowed, but as a vampire I could do as I pleased. His mouth hot against mine making my head spin. I was so distracted that I hadn't realized what was happening till he pulled away with a smirk on his lips.
"Better…?"
"Umm…I..." I couldn't answer, lost for words I leaned on the tips of my toes to taste him once more my hands moving up the front of his chest. His hand move to the nape of my neck but froze instantly.
"Hmm please don't stop on my account…" Elijah pulled away from me to look up at a tall man that stood before us. I was still breathless from the kiss that it took me a moment to understand what was happening.
"I did not think you would come…"
"Tsk…Elijah, I wouldn't miss this fine opportunity…" I looked up to finally take in who was speaking to Elijah. First I took note that the man was indeed taller than Elijah, wearing a very expensive suit with a hat tucked under his arm. Even his hair seemed combed neatly back, his bright blue eyes only adding to his fine demeanor.
"Elijah are you going to introduce me to this fine young lady…" his voice was seductive all in its own as he took my hand.
"Sylara this is my brother, Niiklaus..." clearly hearing the irritation in his tone.
"Please..." his hot breath danced along my hand, placing a soft kiss against it. "Call me Klaus."
That was the first time I had met Klaus, but the moment I had met him was the moment everything had changed. My eyes cast down to the floor as I continued to see him in my mind, but her shifting movements caught my gaze immediately.
"That is none of your concern…" I growled watching as she eyed me up and down. Unlike me she was extremely pale; no color lingered in her eyes or face. I could even smell the decay beginning to form.
"Then what is it you want…" she growled back, but her attempts to try and scare me would be wasted. "Don't tell me Elijah can't control his pets now..."
I only laughed at her words. If Elijah could control me, then I would have stayed at the hotel like a good little vampire, but after so many years he seemed reluctantly to control everything I did.
"Elijah has other important issues to deal with other then dealing with your disgusting ass…." I bit back, her eyes turning hateful by the second, but I only continued.
"I am here for information…."
Katherine folded her arms over her chest raising an eyebrow at me. "Oh, and you thought coming here you would get that information out of me..."
"Yes…" I answered back plainly. Katerina laughed only to bite back a cough. If only she knew I could get the information out of her with or without permission.
"it seems you don't know me well enough to understand that I don't just give information to just any random person and besides…" she moved closure to me the barrier keeping us inches apart.
"You have no idea who you're talking to…" she was about to continue before I stood up straight my height towering over hers.
"Your name is Katherine pierce, aka katerina petrova, you were turned in1492 by rose after you ran away like a coward from Klaus…." She slammed herself against the wall, the barrier keeping her from me completely.
"I dare you to come in here and say that again…" I bared my fangs, wanting desperately to take her down, to show her exactly who was in control, but I only smirked.
"You ran away from Klaus, tricking Trevor into believing you actually cared about him in so hopes of escape, too bad it got him killed…" I moved away from the entrance biting back my vampire form that wished to come out and rip her to shreds.
"Well it seems someone has done their homework..." I glanced back to see her clapping her hands as if applauding my knowledge. "But it seems I don't know anything about you…"
"Trust me…" I bit back the venom that threaten to escape every word I was saying. "You know me more than you'd like too…"
Katerina paused before she rolled her eyes and moved to sit in the dirt, her body weak from blood loss. I stood folding my arms over my chest.
"You are possibly the only one excluding Damon and Stefan who know the location of something I am searching for...something that could have some value."
"And what would that be..." Elijah would probably never forgive me for telling her the truth, but the other would soon find out.
"Tell me the location of the witches' barrel ground…." Elijah had been searching for few weeks for the barrel ground and now I was asking for help, from a woman who had caused so much of my pain to bare. Even though this was my first time ever meeting her, I hated her.
"Hmm..." katerina paused, her eyes watching me carefully. "Why is it that you want to know where the witches barrel ground is …..…"
"That is for me to know…" I growled. I glanced up to the suns gleam past the trees, the sun was beginning to set and I knew Elijah would be…
(I'm bringing sexy back) I rolled my eyes as I pulled out my phone to see Elijah name pop up on the screen.
"Speak of the devil…" I immediately answered it by the third ring, my ears catching the voices of Alaric and Damon in the background.
"Sylara..." I turned away from katerina, so that my back was toward her.
"Hey..." I stated, not wanting to show anything toward katerina, but it was also how Elijah immediately picked up on me.
"Where are you..." he demanded his tone serious and cold; I could tell that he was debating on coming to get me or not. I bit my lip as I quickly ran up the steps of the tomb to now stand under the dark sky, the sun barely creating a hue through the trees.
"I'm at the hotel…" I laughed
"You're lying…" he stated. Elijah could tell I was lying even when I could fool my way out of anything. "Where are you…?"
I walked a few ways before I responded, carefully choosing my words.
"I went out to feed, Elijah, you were taking too long to return to me so I decided to venture out for a time…" I'd hope my lie would work, but after so many years I could only hope.
"Sylara…"
"I'm safe, my love…" I whispered gently. Elijah would never admit that he was protective, but after what had happened, he did not wish for me to be far. I could imagine him puzzle over my words before he sighed into the phone.
"I will be disposed for a time…" he stated, I could hear Jenna giggling at a joke Alaric had made, while Damon whispered words under his breath.
"I understand..." I could hear him move to click off. "Hey..." he moved the phone back pausing ever so slightly.
"I love you…Elijah" I stated, meaning every word of it. It pained me when I lied to him, but I needed to do this. Elijah did not respond only paused for a long moment, before hanging up. I rolled my eyes.
"Originals…"
I moved toward the dining room where they were currently setting up for the evening, my eyes immediately landing on Margaret the daughter of Christopher and granddaughter of Sarah. It saddened me that Sarah had died so long ago at the age of 23, so young; but Christopher had 3 beautiful children that I loved and adored more than anything. Margret was the spitting image of Sarah with three beautiful babies of her own. Christopher Jr the oldest, and Anna the baby. Margret was till a child herself only at the age of 17, but she was a great mother.
Margaret placed three trays on the table, but the moment I watched the tray slip from her hands I immediately reached for it; my vampire speed helped me a lot lately. Margaret sighed before looking up at me.
"Thank you syl…I mean milady" she mumbled, but I shook my head before placing a kiss on her forehead giving her a quick hug.
"you call me milady one more time, I will be very offended Margaret…" I pulled away to smile down at her. "I'm only 50…"
Margate laughed before moving to help me set the table. Unlike the humans that lingered outside in the hall and main room, Margate and her children were the only real family that I clung to for support. After Sarah's death I took Christopher as my own son and continued to raise his children and grandchildren. Margaret was well aware of my vampire existence as well as Elijah. She knew she was safe with two vampires, who wouldn't be. I smiled knowing that if anything happened to the children it would not only be my wrath they would face, but Elijah's as well.
"Aunty Saiy..." I glanced down to see Anna running towards me her arms held out to be picked up. I sighed before picking her up in my embrace and carrying her to the table.
"Don't spoil her dinner sylara…" Margaret tsked as she moved to grab an empty tray. I shook my head as I took a piece of chopped carrot and placed it in Anna's small hands for her to nibble.
"Where...Uncl elizya…"
I giggled knowing she needed more help pronouncing her words, but if Elijah had heard her it would have made him chuckle at this odd family. He would never admit to it, but Anna was his favorite. I would wake up to find Elijah down stairs with Anna in his arms as he rocked her back to sleep. He would have made a great father. I smiled at the thought.
"Well isn't that adorable." I immediately tense, unconsciously tightening my grip on Anna before I turned to see Klaus his eyes looking from me to the child in my arms.
"Aunty Sylara, mommy says it's almost time…." I didn't turn to see Christopher Jr. but I could feel the small Childs hands grip lightly at my dress. My eyes only watched as Klaus eyed the two children before me. I could feel the anger weld up inside me.
"Aunty Sylara, the child is speaking to you…" Klaus teased his eyes moving back to me, causing a painful shiver run down my spine.
"Hey! I'm gona be Four!"
With quick movements I stood before Christopher my eyes betraying me as I placed Anna down behind me.
"Christopher take Anna to the kitchen please…" Christopher did not argue as I listened for his footsteps to vanish behind me.
"Well…now that we are alone" Klaus moved closure to me, my body quivering at the closeness. I had never been so close to another original other than Elijah. It was slightly over whelming.
"Why don't you give me a farewell kiss" he whispered tilting his head so close that his breath brushed again my parted lips. I could feel the compulsion beckoning me to kiss him, but with quick speed I backed away throwing my palm out to slap the original. At first I thought he would have dodged my hand, but the throb in my hand told me otherwise. I had just slapped an original vampire.
"Forgive me Niklaus, but I belong to Elijah…" I growled, but what surprised me more was the look on his face. His eyes were slightly widened, but soon became red the veins pushing at the edge of his eyes.
I gasped as I was suddenly pushed up against the wall my arms held to the side of head while his hands gripped tightly at my wrist.
"Let me go!" I moved to push him away, but I wasn't strong enough as he pressed himself against me, his lips trailing down my neck. I flinched as he bit down barely breaking skin. I could feel blood drip down my neck.
"Hmmm…you have such fire, sylara…" he pulled back as I bared my fangs at him. His eyes watching me intently before his fangs poked from his parted lips.
"I wonder if you taste like….her too…"
("Her…?") But before I could think Klaus lunged for my throat. Preparing for pain I closed my eyes, but nothing came. It was when I opened my eyes that I paused at the scene before me.
"Elijah..." I whispered taking note that Elijah's hands was wrapped around his brother's throat. Their eyes staring at the other with such intensity that you could cut a knife with it.
"Release me…." Klaus growled. Elijah paused for a moment his fangs bared, but soon he released Klaus moving to stand in front of me. Apart of me wanted to cry in relief that he was there, but I wouldn't, not in front of Klaus. Moving my hands back down to my sides; only letting one hand press against his back. Just that simple touch put my body at ease.
"It seems I underestimated you brother…" Klaus stated, but I didn't look up at him, but I knew his eyes were on me. "Even after what I spoke to you about…." Elijah tensed immediately. I wanted to question him, but I continued to look down, not wanting to cause another scene to unfold.
I only listened as rustling sound caught my attention. "I will see you very soon….Sylara" I shivered at the feeling of his breath against my ear but I dared not look at him, my eyes casted low to the ground
How little did I know that Klaus would keep good on his word. I growled at the memory before placing the phone back in my pocket and moving back to the underground tomb. I moved to the entrance only to pause to see katerina with her back leaned against the wall, her eyes playful. I didn't understand her pose at all and yet I tensed as if ready for anything.
"What.." I questioned my eyes watching her carefully as she moved to press her hand against the entrance barrier that kept her inside.
"I'm safe, my love…you were taking too long to return to me, ..Hey.." I glared back at the petrova as she repeated the words I stated only a few moments ago. She smirked as she repeated my same words, her tone matching my own. "I love you…Elijah."
I twitched as those words came from her lips, but I did not act on them as I watched her move away from the entrance before she spoke once more.
"Did you know that I once lived with them."
I had an idea of where she was going with this, but for her sake I hoped she spare me the clean up after I was done with her.
"Tell me where the witches burial ground is.." I stated folding my arms over my chest. I would get what I came here for. Katerina eyed me playfully before moving closure.
"You know he actually fell in love with me.."
"Tread carefully what you say next katerina." I growled my teeth poking from the top of my parted lips. This girl was becoming bold and fast. I would take great pleasure form ripping her to shred. But Elijah would become furious at me.
"He was indeed charming.." she licked her lips "I heard he taste even better…"
Before she could finish her words I had my hands wrapped around her throat, my fangs bared
My eyes red hue color.
"Watch what you say, katerina petrova.." she gasped as she reached for me, her hand locking in my hair as she slammed me to the ground so that she was above me. her teeth bared, she lunged for my throat. Too bad when it came to fighting vampires, I had a history. I threw my fist at hitting her straight in her jaw line, sending her to land next to me. I watched her move to sit up, but I would not let her get up again as I sat up throwing my fist back into her jaw before I slammed her once more, but this time into the ground. Blood slipping from her lips.
"How are you stronger.." she hissed moving to claw at my arm letting it clasped around her throat, but I only smirked letting my grip tighten.
"Now tell me where..." I paused as the smell of blood hit my noise instantly, but it wasn't human or animal blood. It was vampire blood.
"Looks like Damon did what I didn't want him to do…" I looked down to see a smirk form on her lips. "Or should I say what I did want him to do…"
My grip tightened around her throat as different things went through my head. I had tasted this blood long enough to know who it belonged too, Elijah.
"What did you do katerina…" I growled, her words finally settling in my mind. If anything had happened to Elijah all hell would break loose for the Salvatore brothers and katerina.
"What did you do…!" I growled me grip tightening. But katerina only smiled up at me, tilting her head ever so slightly.
"You'll find out soon enough…" I felt my breath hitch in my throat; quickly I released her only to slam my fist directly into her abdomen. Katerina gasped in pain, but soon her body went limp. Even though I could not kill katerina I could knock her out for a time while I searched for Elijah. I ran from the tomb to the top of the entrance reaching into my back pocket for my cell. Immediately I dialed Elijah hoping that he would answer on the first ring, but when he didn't I knew something was wrong.
"Dammit" I cursed dialing a new number, hoping someone would answer.
"Sylara! Good your safe…" I sighed at hearing luckas voice, also the sound of someone moving behind him, Jonas.
"Have you talked to Elijah in the last minute..?" I stated, trying to calm myself as I walked through the dark forest, the scent of his blood still lingering in the air. I heard the phone change hands, before a deeper voice answered.
"Sylara, Elijah was injured by Damon Salvatore.." I growled as I ran for it. "He seemed alright after he left, but he's going after Elena…"
I quickly hung up the phone running as fast as I could through the forest, my mind racing with the familiar memory of this.
It had been a week after the party, after I had met the elder brother Klaus. I had not thought too much about our little encounter, but Elijah had been so hands on the last couple days that I had to pry myself away just to get a good days rest. I admired his stamina, but to come down stairs every morning with bite marks on our neck was not something I wanted the children to see. It may have to do with the fact Klaus had almost kissed me as well, but I dared not question him on the matter.
I laid on the couch watching as Christopher played with a wooden truck that his mother had carved him for Christmas. I laid flat on my back with Anna laying comfortably on my stomach, her little fingers curled around my lacing while she slept. Margaret had left to get more groceries for the little ones, and since it was light out, I could not leave with her. Elijah was an original who could not die from the sun, but I still had to remain inside when the sun came out.
I brushed my hand over the Childs dark curls, but a swift movement to my left caused me to tense, I growled low, but stopped as Elijah walked into the room. For a moment my breath caught in my throat as I realized his shirt was slightly parted while his hair was slightly damped. Damn, why was I babysitting again…?
It was as if he could read my mind for a smirk played across his lips as he moved over to me. Ever since Klaus's arrival to Chicago Elijah had had a far off look in his gaze whenever he looked at me. our love making was breath taking, but after when I would fall asleep he would wrap his arms around my waist to protect me, but now he would just sleep on his side, not touching me after. It was strange. I growled as he leaned down to brush his lips against mine, but didn't exactly kiss me.
"We have an audience...'" I murmured; causing a smirk to play on his lips, letting his hand brush against Anna's forehead. He quickly buttoned up his shirt, pulling away as I stood to my feet with the sleeping Anna in my arms.
"Well Margaret will return soon…" I teased, watching as he moved to grab his coat.
"Forgive me, but I must attend to something important..." he stated, not even looking me in the +eye as he pulled on his cloak on. "I should return before dawn tomorrow."
I watched as he moved to look for his hat, something was definitely bugging him. I placed Anna in her makeshift bed on the couch before meeting Elijah at the door.
"Does this have anything to do with Klaus…?" I stated. He paused at my words before turning towards me, his eyes casted over with something that was unfamiliar.
"Elijah..." I stated letting my hand cup his cheek. At first he seemed to resist my touch before leaning against it, kissing the inside of my wrist. "Never be afraid, my love…." I whispered, giving him a soft smile.
He did not respond this time, only leaned down to place a kiss on my lips. I could feel my insides turn, burning me from head to toe as I returned his kiss just as passionately. Something felt wrong to me causing a part of me to fear his absence. I pulled him closure letting my tongue run over his fangs, causing a groan to vibrate across his chest. It was something about this kiss, with our mouths mixing together, our breaths mingling with the other, and our bodies pressed like this. My hands ruffling his hair while one hand pulled my waist against him while his free hand moved to my hair, gripping it tightly. This kissed scared me, as if he was saying…goodbye
I paused as I felt something grip on the hem of my dress. I pulled away from Elijah to look down at the little hand that gripped my dress. Christopher yawned every so slightly, his hand moving to rub his eyes.
"can we go… pway nowm…?" He yawned at the end. I shook my head, while Elijah chuckled into my neck kissing where my pulse had once been before pulling away. I moved to pick up Christopher who moved to wrap his small arms around my neck, laying his head on my shoulder.
"Return to us soon…" I murmured as he moved to the door placing his top hat on. He smiled back at me, patting Christopher's back softly before giving me a chaste kiss. I wanted to say those three letter words once more, but a part of me was scared to say them. putting me a little at ease, he whispered into my ear…
"As I you…" was all he said before he turned and left. I would soon realize that that would be our last encounter for a long time.
I ran to the lake house, pausing as I sensed something in the air change. I could hear Stefan an Elena inside, but no Elijah. Panic entered my chest as glanced from side to side. Flash back of not seeing him again suddenly entered my mind.
Feeling the sudden shiver run down my spine I turned to see Elijah standing only a few feet behind me, his expression cold. My eyes landed on the blood stain on his shirt.
"Your hurt…" I whispered, keeping my voice low so that only he could hear me. moving closure I knew the wound would heal, but I could smell the scent of ash linger. My eyes widen as I looked back into his gaze.
"white oak ash….they have the dagger…?" he did not respond as he moved toward the house, but I stepped in front of him making him stop in his step.
"move.." he growled but I did not as I moved closure.
"they have the dagger Elijah, let's wait out and take them on together…" I did not want to hurt Elena or her loved ones, but I could feel Elijah's anger surround him. He would take Elena with him this time leaving Stefan and Damon's body behind without a care. At least if I got ahold of Damon and Stefan they might have a chance, but not if they face Elijah.
"you met her.." he growled his eyes finally meeting me. I raised an eyebrow at him before responding. Hoping that he didn't know I answered plainly.
"met who…" I stated only to gasp as I was forced up against a tree his hand clasped tightly onto my shoulder as he held me in place.
"You saw katerina petrova, after I ordered you to stay away…" I moved to get his hand off, feeling him tighten his grip.
"Elijah, you're hurting me…" I whimpered. Elijah pulled away instantly, but he remained close. Even though he was going to be made I had been willing to take that risk. I rubbed my shoulder watching as he looked toward the house then back at me once more.
" I do not need your interference sylara…" his words puzzled me. But soon I gasped as he ripped the necklace from my neck. I moved to reach for it, but Elijah had me pressed against the tree his hands placed gently around my throat.
"what are you doing…" I whispered our gazes locked with each other for moment.
"kiss me…" my eyes widened as I felt his compulsion consume my thoughts. I leaned in, parting my lips for him as he kissed me back full force. His tongue played with mine in a sinful dance, but I pulled away trying to control myself from his compulsion.
"Elijah, let me help you..." I whispered between pants as he traced his lips down my throat, I bit back a moan.
"You will only get in the way…" he pulled back once his gaze locking with mine. I closed my eyes. "No!"
"Sylara, open your eyes…" I was compelled to obey as I did what he asked, my eyes locking with his.
"you are to not interfere; return to the apartment if anything should happen..." Tears trickled down my cheeks; Elijah had given me the necklace for one reason only. So that I could never be compelled by any vampire, not even him. I could feel the compulsion working as he moved to step back picking up my necklace once more.
"nothing will happen to me.." he growled as he whipped my tears from my cheeks, placing the necklace in my hands.
"Elijah wait.." I tried to stop him, but I could feel the compulsion working. I was desperate to fight it. He turned to move toward the house, but I tried to reach for him, the compulsion causing me pain.
"you ass!" I growled as I tried to move, but soon the pain forced me to my knees. Elijah did not turn around to face me only continued to walk toward the house as I sat in a pile of leaves.
"no…I won't let it happen…not again"
I laid in our room with the blankets over my form, while Anna slept next to me with the covers over her small frame, trying to hide from the boogie man apparently. She usually slept in her crib for her naps, but she was fussing to much so we both fell asleep in our bed.
"hn.." I jolted up at the sound a voice in my room, my eyes searching but no one was there. I dared not wake Anna whose form looked invisible, as I moved to the door. Quietly not to waken Christopher in the next room, I closed the door to move down stairs to seek out Margaret. I looked toward the clock to realize that the sun had set an hour ago and Margaret had yet to return.
"I hope everything is alright…" I murmured as I moved toward the main room, only to pause at the sight before me. my eyes widen, my form frozen in place as I looked upon a short woman with bright blonde hair cut short with her fangs pierced deep into a dark woman's wrist, while a man sat on the couch with the woman's body limp in his arms, while he fed off her neck.
The man pulled away, his eyes red with the veins still on each side as he lapsed up the blood from the sides of his lips. I still couldn't move as I looked at the woman, her eyes wide open and faded. There was no warmth or color to her cheeks, not even a heartbeat.
"mar.." my voice lost, before the man whipped his lips.
"hello sylara…" Klaus smirked.
I tried to move again as pain entered my body, I couldn't move. My body fell to the floor as I tried to break Elijah's compulsion but I couldn't. glancing up I watched as Elijah threw the door open with a small rock, causing panic to fill the heart of the dopple ganger.
Before I could contemplate my next move something grabbed me by my hair while their free hand wrapped around my waist, holding me instantly in place.
"I believe I haven't introduced you yet sylara…" Klaus murmured into my hair making me hiss with every pull.
"this is my little sister…" I glanced up to see the blonde woman, who immediately had a look of discuss on her face.
"I can smell Her blood…" I didn't understand her words only to hiss as Klaus pulled more at my locks, a chuckle vibrating along his chest.
"I knew I could smell her as well…." Klaus roughly berried his nose into my neck, nipping at the flesh. I held back my moans for I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of my pain, my eyes landing on Margret's limp form. The woman smirked before moving toward me.
"you know she tasted pretty good, for a slave…"
I bared my fangs at her, immediately wanting to through Klaus off me, but his grip only tightened as I tried to lung for the girl.
Klaus only chuckled, before gripping me by the hair once more.
"looks like she's got more fire then the doppelganger…" the woman growled folding her arms over her chest. I didn't know what she was talking about, but the word dopple ganger caught my attention.
"well will just have to break her of that…" I gasped in pain as Klaus lunged at my throat, his teeth ripping at my skin, not even trying to drain me of blood. I wanted to fight him, but if maybe if I did what they asked they would not go after…
"hhmm auntie-sy.." if I were human my heart would have stopped at the sound of those words. I glanced to my side, seeing Christopher Jr. standing at the foot of the stairs with a small rabbit doll in his grasp.
"well if it isn't desert brother…" tread immediately entered my chest.
The memories were hitting me full force as I tried to stand, I neither wanted Elijah or Elena dead. I grounded my teeth into my bottom lip, trying to break free of his compulsion.
The woman moved toward Christopher, licking her lips.
"leave him out of this…" I growled back, sighing as Klaus pulled away from my neck, his eyes landing on the small child before us. "he's just a child; I'm the one you want, Nicklaus..."
I gasped as he threw me on my stomach his body immediately on top of me. I tried to push him off but my mind was panicked for Christopher's life that I couldn't think as he suddenly held my hands behind my back.
"Rebekah..."
The woman turned back to face us, as I desperately tried to throw Klaus off, but I wasn't strong enough.
"kill him…" my eyes widened as I Rebekah smiled. Moving back toward Christopher as he tried to wipe the sleep from his eyes. Panic entered my body.
"RUN CHRIS..." but I screamed in pain as Klaus gripped my forearms and snapped it back, breaking the bone instantly.
"will have none of that now…." I gasped more as he dipped his head down to bite into my neck. I gasped as he dug his fingertips deep into my arm breaking skin, my mind hazy, but my eyes only widened as I watched her brush his cheek.
"no!" I threw Klaus off instantly, I didn't know how I was able to, but I reached for Rebekah. She hissed in pain as I threw her to the side, her body colliding into the wall with such force that she broke through it ending up in the kitchen.
"come…" I reached for Christopher, my arms placed under his until I was suddenly thrown back. I gasped in pain as Klaus gripped my throat before slamming me straight into the wooden floor.
"well aren't we a fighter…" Klaus whispered before straddling my waist. I couldn't move. I tried to move.
"you bitch!" I groaned in pain as Rebekah emerged kicking me across the face. Klaus grabbed her ankle as she tried to kick me once again.
"now Rebekah be nice..."
"a...a...auntie…" I could hear his soft sobs, but I could also hear his laud heartbeat. It was like my own heart beat was hammering through my chest. I tried to see him, but I couldn't move. Klaus looked down at me a smirk placed across his lips.
"you want to watch…" I bared my fangs at him, but gasped as he pulled my hair back and sank his fangs deep into my neck. My mind beginning to haze as I watched Rebekah move toward Christopher.
"Elijah…" I whispered, wishing for someone to help me.
The next thing I had witness was Rebekah draining the blood from the child's body. I could remember the helpless ness I had felt in that moment, as I looked up my eyes landing on Elena as she stood before Elijah, her hand on the dagger as she spoke to him. But I couldn't hear them; my thoughts were beginning to wonder back…
Rebekah smiled as she placed Christopher's limp form on the steps like a rag doll, his shirt soaked in blood, while his bunny fell limp to the floor.
"Christopher…" I tried to murmur, but I gasped in pain as Klaus bit deep into my arm once more. He had bitten all the way down my neck to my arms; he moved to rip my corset off. I couldn't fight him now, he had drained me a lot of my blood, feeling his lounge licked and lapse up my blood.
"Why do you continue brother, her blood has no taste…" Rebekah sighed as she moved to stand over Klaus as I laid flat on my back my left arm was completely broken while my right hand had bite marks all the way to my shoulder. Why did Klaus want me to feel this pain, what had caused him to do this. Klaus only chuckled.
Why had Klaus hated me so much, why had he taken the ones that I loved away from me? Those were the thoughts that were going through my head that night. My eyes widened as I watched Elena throw the knife down straight into her abdomen, her blood immediately catching me nose, but it wasn't only her blood that caught my gaze it was her eyes. She held fire in them…the petrova fire…
"Her blood has a familiar taste to it" he murmured, letting his hand caress my cheek before he leaned over me completely, his eyes leveled with my own. He smirked at me. I was glaring back at him, but it wasn't only anger in my eyes, it was pure hatred for this man.
"You hold such fire in your eyes" I was confused at his words, but my hateful gaze did not stop. Then I was shocked by his next actions. Klaus leaned down and kissed me.
I tried to turn my head, but his gripped only tightened as he forced his lounge in my mouth. If he thought I was going to let him have me then he'd have to kill me. I growled as I sank my fangs on his bottom lip forcing him away.
"looks like she doesn't want you brother…" Klaus did not respond as he glared down at me. I could still taste his blood in my mouth.
"You do have the Petrova fire after all…." My eyes widened at his words.
"wh...what…?" it tried to ask, until something hot slapped across my cheek.
I gasped in pain as I tried to move, Elena was losing a lot of blood and I could smell it. Our shared blood line. I could not tell her the truth; she would never believe that I was a petrova as well.
"alright, you can have your deal…" I could hear panic in Elijah's voice as he tried to reach the dopple ganger. The compulsion was still too strong.
I gasped as Klaus removed himself from me to stop Rebekah's assault on me for a moment.
"she's a petrova whore, brother, she should pay for even existing as a vampire…" the vampire pouted, but Klaus only chuckled in response.
"don't worry she will, If I can't destroy katerina…" I saw Klaus's gaze flash towards me. "then I'll just have take my hatred on her descendent..."
I watched him move for me once more, but the sound of a child crying caught our attention immediately. My eyes widened as I realized who it was.
"Anna" I moved to try and stand, but Klaus kicked me in the side sending me flying into the wall. Rebekah didn't wait as she charged at me, a smile played along her lips
"give me your word!" Elena yelled her blood slipping. There was a long pause before Elijah responded
"I give you my word…"
Rebekah pulled my head up, before whispering in my ear.
"oh I'm going to take great pleasure in tarring her from you, one piece at a time…"
Every part of my body froze as I watched Elena shove the white oak dagger deep into Elijah chest. A pain entered my chest as sharp as a dagger. I watched painfully as his body went limp, falling to the ground
"aaaaahhh" I cried out in pain.
"aaahhhh!" I grabbed Rebekah and threw her up against the wall; before she could attack me I sank my fangs deep into her shoulder tasting the blood of an original vampire. I drank as much as I could before I felt Klaus reach for me, but I turned quickly grabbing the arm that reached for me. his eyes widened for a second only to be replaced with anger as he charged for me, but I dared not give him a chance as I dodged to the left reaching out to grab Christopher's body before moving to the living room where Margaret was.
"you won't get away..." Klaus sneered Rebekah came out, her hand over her shoulder. I placed christphors body next to margert closing both their eyes before lifting a large candle into their eye sight.
"then you'll spend all of eternity catching me Klaus…" I threw the candel straight at their feet causing a massive blaze to splatter across the floor. I quickly reached for more candels throwing them to every part I could find.
I could hear Klaus roar in anger before he came to find me in Elijah's room, my room, our room. I held Anna close to my chest with my right arm a blanket covering her frame as I threw another candle at the door so that Klaus would dare not come in. he glared at me.
"fire won't stop me little girl…" he moved to cross it, but he couldn't. "what have you…?"
"did I happen to mention that merger was a very powerful witch…" he turned to me, but I only smirked before turning toward the window.
"don't worry once the house burns down…you can leave" I turned wrapping the blankets tightly around Anna before I jumped out the two story window landing with a thud on the ground. The fire in the house had always been controlled by magic, but was also used as a weapon so that no vampire could pass.
I turn to face the house once more. If Klaus had spoken the truth, that I was a part of the petrova bloodline, then there had to be others out there. It would explain why I was different compared to my siblings. My mother had been unfaithful and had met a petrova man.
"Hmm" I looked down at Anna who had tear stained cheeks. I kissed her forehead before turning away from the now engulfed house.
"elizah…" my heart broke at his name, I could never see Elijah after tonight. Klaus would surely go to Elijah first in search of my presence, but there was nothing he could do. Klaus was older and stronger then Elijah. No I would run, for now. I would protect Anna until she was older and then I would find a way to destroy Klaus for taking not only forcing me to stay away from Elijah, but for taking the only family I had ever known away from me.
"you told me that the petrova fire is strong…" I whispered to myself, moving down an abandon road with a baby in my arms, my arm broken, and my heart torn.
"then I'll show you true petrova fire…" I growled.
