Trixie laid in her bed, for the third night in a row she was not in her own bed, but as she listened to Klaus fussing on the phone to his sister she wondered what was going on with Rebekah. Klaus informed her a tiny bit about how Bonnie had dropped the veil between the ghost world and theirs but he never told her if she fixed it. Apparently some ghost guy had shown Elena some cave drawings and the whole day Trixie was talking with Talon and finding him in the cemetary Rebekah was fighting off a curious Elena. Now she had not answered her phone for a whole day and Klaus was getting worried until she called him late that night. Trixie had missed being with Rebekah. Two days without her friend and she was getting home sick but on the bright side, she was learning a lot from Talon. She had gotten Alexis distracted by showing Klaus around the mansion so she could be in the garden with him as they talked to each other but she was also tying to find a way to talk to Klaus about taking him with them. She knew it would be hard and right now she was even more worried as he yelled for the tenth time to Rebekah.

"For gods sake Rebekah a dance is nothing compared to your brother! You have two days to figure out what they are doing and when you do you better call me. Im ready to come back and finish what started sister dear." Klaus hung up on Rebekah and as Trixie sighed she was starting to wonder what was going on. She peeked out of her bedroom door and as she noticed Klaus pacing in his room she also saw Talon sitting on his window sill smiling at her.

"Nik?" He glanced up to her and as he smiled she walked into his room, crossing the hallway quick, she didnt like being stopped by Alexis, and as she got into his room she shut the door and looked to Klaus.

"Yes love?"

"Are you alright?"

"Im fine, a bit upset but fine. Why dont you go to bed?" Trixie shook her head as she noticed his phone sitting on the dresser in his room.

"Why dont you call Stefan? If you are so worried about whats going on he could tell you." Klaus smiled as he shook his head.

"Sorry darling, hes not answering. Im thinking something happened to him." Trixie took her phone out and as she opened it she pulled up his name and smiled as she pressed send, calling Stefan while she stood close to Klaus's bed. She thought he wouldnt pick up but right before the voicemail took over he picked up.

"Yeah?"

"Stefan! What is going on! I thought you and Beks were hurt! Whats happening!"

"Nothing that concerns you Trixie. I want you to stay out of it."

"Please tell me."

"Actually Trixie, with you being around Klaus, I dont think it would be wise for you to know."

"Why not. Is something going wrong?" Stefan was hesitating as Klaus eyed Trixie and wondered himself what Stefan and them were hiding.

"No, nothing wrong. everythings going to be alright. Are you going to be home for the homecoming dance Friday?"

"In two days? I dont know. Klaus is pretty determined to stay away because of Damon but I can ask and see if I can come alone."

"If he says no, stay with him ok? They are going to have a decade dance in two months or so, so you would still get a chance to dance with me."

"Funny Stefan. Well please call if you need me or if things go bad ok? Dont do something stupid ok?"

"Sure Trix sure." Stefan hung up the phone and as Trixie looked to Klaus he eyed her suspiciously.

"So, happy or worried?"

"cautious love, that's all." She eyed Klaus as he sat on the edge of his bed and as she sighed she sat next to him. He smiled as she leaned on him making him move over a bit but as he put his arm around her shoulders she felt how tense he was and wondered is he was just being cautious or if he was really scared.

"Nik. Whos Mikael?" Klaus glance to her before frowning and deciding to tell her. He explained how he was their father back in the day and how he was upset when he was found to be part werewolf but when he was explaining it to her and making thing clearer for her she started to remember what Elijah had told her before too about their father chasing them. She told Klaus she knew that he was being chased by Mikael but Elijah had also said he wanted to rid the world of all vampires. Did that mean if Damon did find him he was going to kill Damon and Stefan? Were Katherine and herself in trouble as well?

"Dont worry love, I wont allow it. I am looking for a way to put a stop to my father anyways and I am always one step ahead anyways." He smiled as if he was already forming a plan in his head but as Trixie sighed and got up she left him to himself and walked back to her room. She had just shut the door when she heard a scratching sound at her window and smiled when Talon was there waiting on her.

"Well hello there."

"Good evening. Rough night?"

"You can say that again. I know you heard us in there. What do you think?" Talon smiled as he wound his way around Trixies waist and laid down next to her in the bed. He was a bit bigger than a regular cat, more of the size of a small dog , but with him being skin and bones he seemed smaller. She patted his head as he thought about what he had heard and soon he was looking right at her as he smiled slowly.

"I believe he is worried, I can sense he is scared. About what who knows but him. I do believe though that you aren't being told everything that you need to know." Trixie eyed the cat as she thought about what he said and nodded. He was right, she wasnt being told everything and as she sighed and wondered what to do about it a knock came to her door. She eyed Talon who just shrugged against her and laid his head down as she smiled and told whoever it was to come in. Klaus was smiling as he entered and was about to go right up to her but stopped short when he saw the cat and just eyed her.

"Hi Nik. This is Talon. My familiar." Klaus eyed the cat then glared at Trixie as he rolled his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Its a mutual feeling vampire." Klaus glanced to the cat and as he gaped and tried to get words for what he was feeling Talon smirked and flicked his ear back as Trixie scratched the top of his head. Klaus was thinking to himself how in the word he was going to get past having two smart mouthed people with him now but as he tried to make sense of it all, all he could manage to pull off was a half smile as Trixie watched and waited for his reaction. She sighed, knowing he didnt like Talon but then smiled a bit when she thought about how he was going to have to put up with him weather he liked it or not.

Klaus had taken things in stride over the next few days. It was edging Friday night and since he had met Trixies familiar he was making sure his presence was known whenever Alexis wasnt around. He wasnt used to talking animals anyways, much less a skeleton looking cat, but since he had been around Alexis's snake a few times he wasnt all that shocked. he had suggested that Trixie might go after the cat the first night they were there but when she returned without him Klaus had hoped he wasnt her familiar and that she could find hers back in New Orléans but after the night he saw him, Klaus knew he was stuck with the wise cracking cat for a while now.

"Hey, vamp boy. Keep your eyes on what youre doing. You might be able to heal quickly but it doesnt mean you can deliberately crash for the fun of it." Klaus scowled to the cat as he turned his head back to the road. He was taking them back to Mystic Falls today, after the phone call from Rebekah and Stefan about how Elena killed Mikael in a fit of rage about trying to kill Stefan.

"I dont see why we have to go back for that. Cant we go just to see family?"

"No Trixie. The family wont be safe unless he is out of the way so now is the perfect time to go. If they did kill Mikael then we shall have a wonderful family reunion tomorrow night."

"And tonight? I get to play Cinderella and stay in my room?"

"Non-sense Trixie, we go to the ball. Together. Where I can keep an eye on you."

"For safety of course? As if anything would or could get to her." Klaus again hissed to the cat but as he did the cat hissed back.

"God is it going to be like this between you two forever?" Trixie glanced to Talon and as he flicked is tail in her lap she smiled but Klaus scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Are you always going to take his side Trixie?"

"Not when hes been mean but he hasnt so for now yes. He is telling the truth though. No one would dare hurt me so you dont have to keep that close of an eye on me. You can concentrate on something or someone else while I catch up with Rebekah." Klaus sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. Rebekah had called and talked to Trixie after she talked to Klaus but when she was talking about how wonderful it was going to be to be at the dance together she kind of got some rather mean looks from Klaus who was already tried of his sisters ramblings. Trixie hadn't told anyone yet about her familiar but she knew that when they saw the cat following her around they would ask questions so she hoped that Rebekah would b the first she met so she could get the awkwardness out of the way immediately. Talon purred as Trixie petted his head and ran her hand down his back but when Klaus went to take her other hand in his Talon glared at him with his yellow eyes and grinned something evil. The last time he saw that grin on hi the day after he met the cat he got bit for trying to slip his hand around her waist.

"Better keep your fangs to yourself cat. I got my own that I can bit with too you know."

"Oh yes, the hybrid is threatening a cat. What power the dog has now." Talon smirked as Trixie chuckled but patted him between his shoulders a bit as she shook her head.

"Dont gode him on Talon. He will never stop arguing with you if you let him start." Talon smirked even wider as Klaus rolled his eyes and looked back to the road. As they traveled further and further from Salem Trixie remembered what Alexis had told her when they left. She had noticed the cat sitting on the passenger seat of their car and when she rolled her eyes she shouted to the thing that she was surprised he found someone to care so much for him. He shrugged while closing his eyes and suddenly appeared on Trixies shoulders and hissed to Alexis's snake as he told Alexis that he deserved someone who would love him even despise the vampire side to him. Alexis had warned Trixie that the cat would bring bad luck but unlike the humans who believes that black or dark grey cats were unlucky Trixie had always thought thy were the best things that a witch could have. Granted Alexis's snake was a bright yellow and it reflected her personality, Trixie was a full elemental witch and had ties with the dark side of magic with no repercussions but Alexis didnt know that so she would never understand why the dark grey cat was lucky to her.

"So what do you want to do when we get there?" Klaus glanced to Trixie as she pondered his question. She wanted to go find Rebekah right away but she had told Trixie she would see her at the dance so she guessed she needed to go find a dress.

"I need something to wear to homecoming so I guess go find something?"

"That sounds reasonable. Or you could just find something in Rebekah's closet."

"Nik Im not going to dress snag from your sister when she isnt home. Just drop me off in town and I will go by myself." Klaus glanced to Trixie and as he had to think about that for a moment he decided that he would trust her and nodded. She smiled as she leaned over and kissed his cheek, bringing a real smile to his face.

"Oh, dog boy blushes." He shot a glare at the cat as Trixie covered her mouth and chuckled. Klaus rolled his eyes as they traveled on through the day and by night fall were back in Mystic Falls.
