Thank you all so much for the reviews/follows/and favorites! I can't tell you how much I love reading my emails and they say that I have a new follower, favorite, or review. I can't believe that I've update three times in three days, but I'm just trying to make up for my late absence.
So here we have a few flashbacks of when Abby is a baby (Awe!) and it will show a few things about Abby's past, but more will come late ;) There will also be a slight twist in the story line involving Rebekah and Klaus sort of twisting around in Abby's mind at the beginning, again, more will be revealed later.
Disclaimer: I own nothing other than Abby.
Previously on the Vampire Diaries
Klaus turned around in his seat and took my face between his hands. He kept my eyes locked on his and I could see them dilating and contracting. "I want you to remember."
I gasped images flooding my mind.
I wasn't aware that my eyes were still locked on his. "Sleep love, and then remember."
Flashback a few days after Abigail was born
Third person pov
A man looked down at the sleeping child in his arms a small smile on his face. A small tear escaped his eyes as he stared down at his little girl. She looked so much like her Mother that it hurt the man, but his baby girl was worth it. He already loved her so much.
It had only been hours after the birth of the girl when the doctors reported that the Mother was missing, and at first the man hadn't believed it. Sure enough, though, the Mother was gone leaving him alone with the small girl.
"Daddy loves you Abby," the man whispered kissing her head. Slowly he walked over to the crib and placed her inside making sure that the blanket was tightly wrapped around the little girl before leaving the room.
Once the man had walked down the stairs he picked up his cell phone. He knew exactly who to call, his old college best friend, Nik. Of course he had talked to Nik as soon as he knew Isabelle was pregnant, but he hadn't talked since.
"Ah Kyle, to what do I owe the please?" Nik's voice rang out from the other side.
"I have a baby girl Nik," Kyle breathed out over the phone, "Isabelle's gone, she left a few hours after Abby was born. I don't know what to do Nik."
"Well first I should say congratulations are in order mate," Nik said, "How is the little girl?"
Kyle spent the next few hours going into extreme detail about his little angel as Nik quietly listened. Already Nik had a plan. Kyle had been his best friend when he visited a witch in his hometown. The only person who had ever really cared about him as an equal.
Oh yes, Nik had a plan alright. He supposed that the curse could wait a few years while he paid his best friend a visit.
A few weeks later
"Come on Abby, Daddy is really tired," Kyle yawned as Abby screamed her little head off. She had fallen asleep and lost her stuffed wolf in the process. Now she wouldn't sleep without it no matter what her Father tried.
"Looking for this mate?" Kyle spun around shocked when he saw his high school best friend holding the stuffed wolf in his hands. Almost instantly the small girl stopped crying and held out her hands for the wolf as if she already knew it was there.
"Nik, this is a surprise," Kyle exclaimed taking the wolf from Nik and giving it to Abby. Her small arms wrapped around the thing and kept it close to her.
Nik was watching the whole thing with amusement in his eyes. "She's going to be a smart one mate," he said patting his friend on his shoulder as Kyle placed Abby in her crib.
"Why don't we go downstairs, I can make you a cup of coffee, and then you can tell me how exactly you got into my house." The two men chuckled as they went down the stairs.
Three years later
"Daddy! Daddy!" Kyle chuckled as his three year old daughter launched herself into his arms. "Look what Uncle Nikki helped me make." She then shoved the piece of paper in the elder man's face. Kyle took the piece of paper and looked at the small drawing that was there.
"It looks beautiful angel," Kyle said kissing Abby little head. He tried to hand her back the drawing but the girl simply shook her head.
"No Daddy, I made that for you," she huffed skipping out of the room nearly running into her Uncle Nikki. "Sorry Uncle Nikki!" she called running out the door.
Nik smiled while Kyle laughed. "She's really taken a strong liking to you hasn't she Uncle Nikki," Kyle teased.
"Oh be quiet," Nik snapped playfully at the younger man. "She's something special though, you have a real star on your hands."
"Of course I do, she's my daughter after all."
"That she is mate," Klaus said patting his friend on his shoulder. "That she is." They were interrupted by Abby running back into the room with a large book in her hands. She wobbled over to her father and set the giant book on his lap.
She looked up at Kyle with large doe like eyes. "Daddy, can you read this to me?"
The man looked at the book in her curiosity. "Ancient Civilizations," he read before looking down at her with an eyebrow raised. "Why do you want to read this?"
"You said that Uncle Nikki was as old as the Romans, so I asked Ms. Jennifer what the Romans were. She said that they were people who lived a long time ago," Nik was looking at Kyle with 'a look'.
"I'm appalled mate, I'm not that all old."
"Could've fooled me old man," Kyle laughed picking up Abby and setting her on his lap. He opened up the book and began reading to her about the Roman empire with Nik jumping in at random moments. Hours went by and soon Abby was starting to fall asleep on her Father's lap.
"I should probably go now," Nik muttered looking at the two with eyes of longing. He had always wanted a child to call his own, and he loved Abby like she was his own daughter. It just wouldn't be the same as if he had his own child. That's why he wanted his hybrids so bad. They were something that he would be able to create. His own children.
Abby must've sensed the Originals discomfort because she got off of her Father's lap and walked over to Nik wrapping her arms around his legs. "Night, night Uncle Nikki. Will you come over tomorrow?"
"I'll try darling," Nik said kissing her forehead. "Be a good girl for your Dad alright?"
She nodded her head walking back over to Kyle and climbing back on top of him. Kyle took a blanket from next to them and placed it over the two of them. "Thank you Nik," Kyle said looking up at the Original. "For everything you've done over these past few years, I don't know if I could've done it without you."
"No problem mate, it is you I should be thanking."
"For what?"
Nik smiled at Kyle looking down at Abby. "For being a true friend."
End flashbacks.
I ran into the room glaring at Klaus. "Good morning love," Klaus said.
"I knew you, and you didn't bother telling me! You knew that John wasn't my father and you didn't tell me!" I screamed at him. He sighed and took my hand leading me out of our boring hotel room towards a clothing store. "You want to go shopping? Tell me about my father," I demanded going in front of him.
"Your Father was a life time friend of mine so when he told me that he had a little girl I couldn't help but visit, and then he passed and you were adopted. I lost contact end of story," he muttered trying to walk past me.
I stepped back in front of him. "No that can't be all, who was my father, what was his name?"
"So many questions, and all will be answered in time," Klaus told me. "Now come my sister will probably need help understanding woman's clothing. Besides you will need more clothes too."
"What are you talking about? I have a bag full of clothes," Klaus just smirked and lifted his eyebrows, "At least I had my clothes this morning. You threw them out didn't you?"
"Let's just say that my sister needs a shopping buddy, now come on love, in we go," Klaus said opening the door. Stefan was already inside with a blond in what I think were his clothes. "Wearing your boys clothes already little sister, what a scandal."
"Leave me alone Nik, and who is this, one of your little whores?" Nik?
Did she just call me a whore? "I am not a whore," I growled at her. "Your brother is forcing me on this little vacation."
"Rebekah this is Abigail, a little doppelgänger of Elizabeth," Klaus introduced. "She will also be your little guide for discovering woman's clothing of today. So go on, shop until you drop."
The next few hours Rebekah and I actually got slightly closer, at least close enough that we didn't hate each other. We didn't necessarily like each other either. Eh it was a work in progress.
So Rebekah was in one dressing room next to mine complaining about the clothing that I would hand her. "There has to be more to this dress!" She exclaimed from the room.
"There's not," I replied looking at the white dress I was wearing. It was short, came to my knees, and had spaghetti straps. Rebekah had paired it with a brown belt.
I stepped out to see Rebekah already out looking at Klaus and Stefan with her death glare. "So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes. I got dirty looks from wearing trousers."
"You wore trousers so that women of today could wear nothing," Klaus replied sounding annoyed.
"Pervert," I mumbled walking back into the dressing room.
"And what is this music it sounds like a cable car accident?"
"It's dance music!" I shouted over the curtain.
"People dance to this?" She questioned.
"Just wait until the acoustic set, at least it sounds smoother," I said walking back out in jean shorts and a red tank top. I glanced down at my wrist to study the bracelet that Elijah had given me. It was about time Klaus gave this back. It didn't have vervaine in it anymore, but it still reminded me of him.
"Why are you so grumpy?" Rebekah asked walking towards Klaus.
He pretended to think about it. "I need one thing from you and you lost it."
"I didn't lose it, it's just been missing for ninety years."
"Which makes it missing," I added.
Rebekah rolled her eyes and started twirling in front of Stefan. "So how do I look?" it was definitely not a mystery that Rebekah liked Stefan.
"I like it," lie. Rebekah must've caught it to because she gave him a look that said 'really?' "What? I said 'I liked it'."
"I can always tell when you're laying Stefan," she retorted walking back into the dressing room.
I sat down next to Stefan and took his glass of champagne from him. "Nice, good going," Klaus said raising his drink.
"You're the one that pulled the dagger out of her," Stefan reminded.
"I heard that!" Rebekah called out.
"Alright I need some fresh air," Stefan said getting up.
"What?" I asked appalled, "You can't leave me alone with these two! Stefan!"
Bastard just walked out the door leaving me with two glares of the Original siblings.
It took hours for Rebekah to just practically buy out the entire store and make our way back to Gloria's bar. I sat with Rebekah on the bar as Klaus drank some unknown type of alcohol. I turned my head when I saw Stefan entering the bar. "I cannot believe you left me alone with these two? I swear they argue more than you and Damon," I exclaimed slapping him upside the head.
Stefan slapped my hand away and I sped back over to the bar. "Well sorry that retail therapy was making my head feel like it was about to explode."
"Tell me about it," Klaus muttered.
Stefan looked at Gloria who had a bunch of candles on her table with a giant spell book in front of her. "What is she doing?"
"She's failing," Klaus announced loudly to make sure that Gloria heard him.
"It's hard to find something when you don't have anything to go on," Gloria argued back shooting Klaus an irritated glare.
"Then use me," Rebekah said getting off of the bar, "I've only worn it for a thousand years."
"There this one offers a solution, just give me your hand sweetheart," Gloria said pleased. I turned towards Stefan and noticed that he had a slightly panicked look on his face. What was with him? We're only looking for a necklace that somehow got lost in the 1920's.
"She's uh- she's looking for the necklace," Stefan stuttered sounding slightly concerned. When Klaus looked away I mouthed 'why are you so worried?' He merely shook his head making me raise an eyebrow at him. He is such a liar.
After a lot of muttering and chanting Gloria finally spoke. "I can sense something." She then began chanting as the rest of us were pretty much on the edge of our seats. So where was the magical necklace hiding away? "I found it."
The entire time her gaze never left Stefan's almost as if they were having a private conversation in their heads.
"Great," I said. "Where is it?"
"It doesn't work like that sweet pea," Gloria told me removing her hand from Rebekah's. "I get images; there's this girl with her friends."
"Yes a dead girl with dead friends if I don't get my necklace back," Rebekah sneered towards the witch. Gloria nodded her head.
"Well I'll have to dive back in to get details," she responded. At this point it was Klaus who decided to speak next. The entire time I noticed that Stefan still hadn't said a word.
"So dive," he said walking over to Gloria.
"I need more time." Klaus put his hands on the table in an 'Alpha' like manor. "And space. You're harshing my juju."
"We can wait." We?
"I'm sure you can, but that's not what I asked."
The glaring between the two powerful creatures was really intense. I had a feeling that if we didn't get Klaus out of the bar soon that someone was going to lose a heart. And there is only one beating heart in the room.
"Hey come on," I said jumping off of the bar and walking towards Rebekah. "Let's go and get something to eat. Rebekah care to share and dirt on your brother?" Rebekah got this evil glint in her eyes as she stared at her brother.
"It would be a pleasure," she grinned linking our arms together.
"I'm hungry anyways," Stefan added patting his hand on Klaus's shoulder signaling him that we should leave. Then we all left Gloria's bar so that she could give us an exact location.
"You know when I said that I was hungry I meant like hot dogs or pizza, definitely not people," I complained turning towards the girl Rebekah had 'picked out for me'. The thought made me shudder. I turned back towards my girl and looked her in the eyes. "You won't remember any of this, go home and live a nice happy life."
Once the girl was gone Rebekah turned back to me. "Why didn't you kill the girl?"
"I'm not a monster," I whispered softly.
She just shrugged turning back to the guys. "My girls dead I'm bored." Both Klaus and Stefan lifted their heads from their still living humans.
"You weren't kidding when you said you were hungry," Klaus told Stefan.
"It's been a long day," he replied.
"Try being related to her," Klaus pointed his head towards Rebekah.
Rebekah had an offended look on her face. "You're being mean," she then turned to Stefan when he laughed. "Why are you being mean to me? You used to love me."
"It's been ninety years Rebekah give him a minute," he retorted mocking his sister.
"Why are you taking his side?"
"Because dear sister I pity any man who doesn't give you what you want."
"Will you stop making me out to be a brat, I'm not a brat!"
"Thousand years of experience says otherwise."
Stefan laughed but I frowned at Klaus. "Oh you are so not a walk in the park either Yeller," Klaus glared at the dog reference. "I've only spent one summer with you and I already feel like my head is going to explode. I don't know how Stefan feels though."
"I wanted to stake myself after the first week," he said and Rebekah laughed.
"Fantastic," Stefan then dropped his, gulp, dead body and left. Klaus said something about him writing a name on a wall. Great another inside joke that I wasn't in on. I swear I have no idea how many jokes they had. "So Abigail, Nik tells me that you fancy someone."
I looked alarmed at Klaus. He only smirked, "Um, I don't know."
"Yes, please Abigail inform my dear sister about your lost love," Klaus said still having a large smirk on his face.
"Lost?" Rebekah asked.
"Yes Klaus inform Rebekah how you killed him and compelled me not to touch him," I glared back and his eyes narrowed.
"I only daggered him love, you'll see him soon enough."
"Daggered?" Rebekah asked looking back and forth between the two of us. "I don't understand you can only dagger our siblings." She started to trail off as realization dawned on her. "You fell in love with one of my brothers? Which one?
I fidgeted with my hands suddenly finding this conversation really awkward and uncomfortable. "Elijah," I muttered.
"You fell in love with Elijah? Hm, he's not one that looks like he would fall in love," Rebekah said.
"That's all you have to say? You just found out that I'm dating your brother and all you have to say is that he's not one to fall in love?" That is incredible.
"Well he's a big boy, he's been alive for a thousand years, and one the brightest side of all of this I actually like you. Nothing like the last girl he fell in love with," a small pain echoed through my heart. "We all knew how that turned out."
"Who was the last girl?" I asked.
"Now, now dear little sister let's not dwell on the past when we can just let bygones be bygones," Klaus said glaring at his sister. "Come on love let's go check on that favorite little witch of yours shall we?"
"Yes Uncle Klausy," I muttered hopping off of the coffin that Rebekah and I sat on.
"Uncle Klausy?" Rebekah asked.
Klaus sighed and glared at me. I just gave an innocent smile in return. "Long story, maybe later." He took my arm and practically dragged me out of the room. "Why did you call me that?"
"What I can't call my uncle by his name?" I asked feigning innocence.
He gave a humorless laugh. "I'm going to regret giving you back those memories."
"Tell me about my dad and I'll let it go," I said.
Klaus stopped and turned around so that he was right in front of me. "Alright, you Father's name was Kyle Carlson. I met him when he was a teenage boy and he quickly became a wingman. When he called and said that he had a little girl, and the mother had skipped town, I took the first opportunity to come visit."
"How did he die," I demanded.
"I have a lot of enemies Abigail."
That was all he said before walking into the bar.
We walked back in to see that Rebekah and Stefan were happily chit chatting away. "Gloria's gone, she's cleared out, and we need to find a new witch immediately." Things got tense when both Stefan and Rebekah turned to look at us. "What's going on?"
"Something's wrong he was asking about Mikael," Rebekah said looking at Klaus and turning to me a sudden hate in her eyes.
"Wait, who is Mikael?" I asked.
Rebekah ignored me turning back to a very cautious Stefan. "He's not with us Nik, and neither is she."
"I still have no idea what you are talking about," I demanded. What was going on? "I can sense it. Although it's stronger on him."
"She's wrong," Stefan said an edge of panic in his voice. "Klaus-." Stefan trailed off as Klaus just glared at him. Suddenly he wasn't next to me anymore but over at Stefan snapping his neck in a blink of an eye. I gasped surprised and then Klaus turned towards me.
"What is he hiding?" Klaus demanded shoving me up against one of the coffins.
"I don't know," I gasped as his grip tightened. "Please Klaus," I gasped out.
Klaus looked at Rebekah her head nodding. "I'm sorry love." His other hand came back to my neck. There was a loud snapping sound, and then everything went black.
I woke up to the feeling of someone hitting my leg. "Five more minutes 'Lijah," I moaned trying to roll over on this highly uncomfortable thing I was sleeping on. Slowly I opened my eyes and shot up seeing that I was stuck in some type of box. Stefan too jumped up, only he was the first person to speak.
"Just give me a chance to explain," he said cautiously staring at Klaus.
"No need, I'm not mad I'm just curious. Rebekah seems to think that you both are holding onto something, something of your old life. The thing is she's got flawless instincts almost supernatural so I thought that I would check it out." I groaned at the pain in my neck as I tried to stand. "See for myself what it is you two have been hiding from me."
I watched Klaus get up from sitting on his coffins and opening the door. The sunlight burned my eyes for a moment until the adjusted slightly.
By then Stefan seemed to have comprehend more than I had.
"Welcome back to Mystic Falls Stefan and Abigail."
Well that's the longest chapter I've written yet. Hope that all of you liked it and reviews would definitely would be much appreciated.
If you have an idea for a type of family flashback between Klaus/Abby/Kyle just leave a review and I'll see what happens.
Love to all.
