"Are you an idiot, Kol?" Miakel shouted at him. Kol carried looking at the river where five year old sister had nearly drowned.

"Answer me!" Miakel shouted into Kol's wet face.

"Yes. I'm an idiot." Kol whispered. He hated himself. He couldn't believe that his beautiful bay sister had nearly died because of him.

Kol wasn't expecting the punch that his father delivered hi. Kol groaned and didn't bother getting up. Esther, their mother, let out a small whimper, Rebekah screamed and jumped out of her mothers arms and ran to her big brother. Kol lay still as Rebekah threw her small body over his, as she tried to protect him from their father's blows. "Please, father. Stop! It wasn't his fault. "Rebekah screamed

"Of course it was his fault Bekah. He shouldn't have taken you swimming." Klaus said. Finn and Elijah nodded their heads in agreement. The other four siblings had come running when they had heard screaming. Finn had been the first on there and he dragged Rebekah out of the river.

"Father, Bekah was in the middle of the river. Kol knows it deep and the river is fast there." Finn told his father.

"I agree with Finn, father. Maybe Kol shouldn't be allowed to look after Rebekah on his own." Elijah . He was holding on to Arianna's hand tightly, scared that she was going to jump into the river and drown.

"Yes, I'll consider that Elijah. Thank you"Miakel said thoughtfully.

"Father" A small voice said. Miakel didn't hear Arianna. Elijah looked down at her begging her not to say anything. He tightened is grip on her hand." Please , Elijah." Arianna said looking up at him with big green eyes. Elijah gave in and let her go. "Father!" Arianna said louder.

Miakel spun around " yes ?" Miakel saw Arianna stood there looking a bit frightened but still brave. His heart softened. "What is it baby? "

" Don't be mad at Kol. Please father /" Arianna walked over to Kol. He was sat up by now. He placed her small hand on Kol's shoulder. "Everyone makes mistakes. " Arianna said.

Miakel looked at his daughter. She was so pretty". Miakel thought. Her copper hair was tied in a loose pony tail; stray curls framed her plumb pretty face. Her big green eyes her framed with long, dark lashes. Her rosy cheeks had a fine splattering of light freckles.

"Please father, let Kol off. He won't do it again. You don't want him punished do you Rebekah" Arianna looked at her twin sister. Rebekah shook her head.

Miakel stared and thought for a while and finally muttered no and stormed off.

Arianna began walking back to Elijah when Kol grabbed her hand. "Thank you. That was very kind of you Annie. "Kol stood there smiling. Arianna was very surprised. Only people that liked her called her Annie. Kol didn't like her.

"You're my brother Kol. Even if you don't like me, I love you. I can't help it. I love every member of my family, even Bekah." Arianna said with a small smile.

"If you get to know her she's not that bad. Kol said defending his sister.

"Same here Kol. I'm not that bad when you get to know me. "

"I'll get to know you then. " Kol said simply.

Arianna skipped back to Elijah. "What did Kol want? ?" he asked

"Oh nothing ".
