They could hear him climb the steps and reach the door before he even had a chance to knock, but they let him knock nonetheless.
Knock. Knock said the door.
He was nervous. Rebekah had told him a bit about her brothers. She told him they were all extremely overprotective and could be a bit forceful at times. He had insisted on meeting her brothers before they went out on a date but Rebekah wouldn't have it. She kept telling me it was best I didn't meet them. She didn't really tell me why, but I didn't want to push the subject so when she told me to wait outside of her home for her, I happily obliged, but now here I am. I was a bit nervous to be honest. I've meet date's parents before but I've never meet three brothers; three brothers which were described as "extremely protective." My heart was racing as the door opened.
… … … … …
"Hi. My names Kallum and I'm here to pick up Rebekah" he said. He had is hand out stretched, after seconds of silence and immobility from either party, his hand no longer knew loneliness.
"Hello Kallum. My name is Elijah. I'm Rebekah's eldest brother. Please come in, she just went upstairs to grab a jacket" said Elijah with a stoic expression on his face.
Kallum stepped foot into the mansion and looked around and wordlessly mouthed "wow." Rebekah had always talked about her home as if it was some modest home but this – this was no home this was most definitely a mansion. It reminded him of his own home in an odd way.
Elijah closed the door as Kallum came into his family's home and could hear his brothers' slowly approaching.
... … … … …
Niklaus came around the corner and saw Rebekah's date standing by the front door twiddling with his thumbs. His sister definitely seemed to attract utter losers, in his opinion anyways. Nik had come to stand beside Kallum soundlessly; this startled Kallum when he turned around and came face to face with Nik. His heart was racing.
"Woah, man! I didn't hear you" Kallum said nervously taking a step back "my names Kallum."
He extended his hand and Niklaus happily shock it making sure to add a bit of his supernatural strength to the handshake. Kallum had an expression of pain plastered on his face. Elijah saw this and got his brothers attention with a light cough. Niklaus let go soon after that, but not before holding on for a couple more seconds.
"Kallum, this is my brother Niklaus" said Elijah.
"You can call me Klaus"
"Nice to meet you" said Kallum rubbing his hand.
Just then Kol walked in nonchalantly.
"And this is my younger brother Kol" said Elijah.
Kol shook Kallum's hand and looked him straight in the eye and wasted no time in seriously asking "Do you want to have sex with my sister Kallum?"
"Kol" said Elijah with warning in his voice.
Although I might admit it was a bit forward I am looking forward to seeing how he is going to answer, thought Nik.
"I … umm…. Yes….. I mean no" said Kallum his face now visibly covered in sweat. "Is it hot in here or is it just me" said Kallum trying to deflect the situation.
Elijah and Nik just starred at Kallum. They were going to have to have a talk. Set some ground rules.
… … … … …
Elijah, Nik, Kol and Kallum had moved into the living room after an awkward introduction that came from Kol.
Everybody sat in their own armchair or couch, which left Kallum sitting in the couch closest to the front door and awkwardly sitting infront of Elijah, to his right was Klaus, and Kol to his left.
"Would you like a drink Kallum" offered Nik.
"Oh no, I'm good thank you"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea, I'm driving, it's best if I don't"
"Good answer"
Nik looked over at his big brother. It looked like they were having a conversation with those intense stares they were exchanging, he passed the first test Nik would say, and Elijah nodded in agreement.
… … … … …
"Tell us Kallum, what are your intentions with our sister" spoke up Elijah.
Kallum's heart was pumping rapidly; the three vampires in the room took notice immediately.
"Tell me, are they honorable?"
"Yes, absolutely" he said wasting no time "we are just going to go get something to eat then we are going to catch a late movie and I'll bring her straight home." he said all in one breath. When he was done he took two visibly large breaths.
… … … … …
While Rebekah was in her closet looking for a jacket and a scarf she suddenly felt her dress slide down a bit. "Dammit, really. This is not happening right now!" she thought. The left strap of her dress had broken off. "Just great" she was going to have to find something to change into – and quickly. She didn't want Kallum to endure too much of the 3rd degree her brothers were definitely giving him. After a couple of minutes she found a replacement dress. It was shorter than the one she originally had one. This new dress was white, strapless and was very-very short, it left very little to the imagination, and even better it was strapless. She had to zip it up but couldn't. "Kol" she thought.
"Kol" she quietly called out, knowing he would be able to hear her from downstairs just fine "I need you."
