Alaric Grimm

Part 4


The next day, Nick went to work as usual while Juliet assured both brothers that she would be fine handeling the evening's dinner on her own, that they didn't have to worry about helping her.

Alaric stayed in the house for a bit before he went back to the trailer to read some more and try to learn as much as possible. Nick had given him a key to the house so he could come and go as he pleased. he was family, they trusted him and it warmed Alaric's heart to feel accepted so quickly.

At Lunch, Alaric went to meet up with his brother at work and got introduced to Hank, Sergeant Who and Captain Renard. He talked a bit with them before going to a place nearby and get a sandwitch with his brother. Then they both headed to the park to eat, talk and enjoy the sun a bit.

He didn't mention his brother's boss but he couldn't help but feel that there was something a little off about him.

"You know... Jenna would still be alive if she had been told sooner about the truth... Now, I don't want to get involved in your relationship or anything but I think you should tell Juliet before you loose her because of something happening...you know...Wesen-like..." Alaric said.

"I've been thinking about it more and more often lately... I think you're right but I don't know how to do it or even when to do it...I'm afraid she'll get scared and run off."

"Why don't you do it before dinner tonight? You'll be able to show her immediately with your friend Monroe and everything..."

"You mean I tell her before Monroe and Rosalee arrive?" He asked.

"Yeah, I think it would be best... Trust me, you want her to be prepared for what she could come across... Like my friend Damon said, even if she hates you, at least she'll do so alive." Alaric explained.

"I think you're right... Yeah, I'll do it right when I get home from work..." Nick decided.

"I'll come home a bit later and stay at the trailer longer so you can talk to her quietly." Alaric suggested.

"No, it's okay, you can stay. It might be easier if you're there too." Nick said.

"Okay then." he understood of course, the risk of Juliet thinking Nick was crazy was smaller if there was two of them saying the same story.

.

When he got home that night, Nick was nervous and grateful to have his brother by his side. The more time he spent with Alaric and the more he regretted not being with him sooner.

When they entered the house, Juliet was already cooking and happily humming in the kitchen.

"We're home!" Nick called out.

She joined them with a smile and after some small talk about their days Nick said:

"There is something I need to tell you... It's important and you should sit down."

"I'll go and watch over dinner while you two talk." Alaric offered.

"Okay..." Juliet replied, dragging out the word.

Nick looked to his brother who nodded at him before taking a big breath in and pulling Juliet in the living room.

"What is it Nick? You look so nervous..." She noticed.

"When Aunt Mary came back, she told me a family secret...a very important one... It's that secret that allowed Alaric to find me and to know about me... He and I both agree that for your safety, I need to share it with you." Nick started.

"What is it? You can tell me anything you know..."

Nick then proceeded to tell her about them being what's called Grimm's. He told her about Wesens and what his ancestor have been doing. He told her everything and as he talked, he was suprirsed not to see disbelief or fear on her face but undertsanding and trust.

"And you're not joking...You're being serious about this..." She asked him.

"Yes, I am."

"Very well then... I'll believe you for now but I'd still like to have some proof."

"Monroe and Rosaleee will show you later on when they arrive... But keep in mind that they are friends, they won't hurt you." Nick replied, surprised to see her so accepting.

"And Alaric is one too then? He knows all of this?" She asked.

"Yes... he's actually the one who suggested I let you know... I have been thinking about it for a while but he told me of his girlfriend who was a lot like you who died because she didn't know and wasn't ready... I don't want to loose you, I want you to be safe and ready. I want you to know how to protect yourself." Nick said before he kissed her softly.

"I love you too." she replied before she kissed him once more and went to the kitchen to make sure Alaric didn't mess up her dinner.

"Everything okay?" Alaric asked her when she came in the kitchen.

"Yes... It's a lot to take in but it's okay. Thank you for convincing him to tell me." She said with a soft smile.

"He probably would have ended up telling you sooner or later... I just wanted to make sure what happened to me didn't happen to him." Alaric said, looking down at Jenna's memory.

"He said your girlfirend died because she didn't know..."

"Well, Jenna had just been told... She wasn't ready to face what she had to face, she didn't know how to defend herself and I couldn't protect her..." Alaric replied.

"How was she?" Juliet asked as Nick joined then.

"Jenna was the prettiest woman I've ever known. She was compassionate, full of life, always looking for the bright side of everything... I know that if I had met her before Isobel I wouldn't have gotten married to the bitch. Jenna was the best thing to have ever happen to me..."

"You miss her... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have brought it up."

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I know she's happy wherever she is." Alaric explained.

"But if supernatural killed her can't we bring her back with supernatural?" Juliet asked.

"There is probably a way but playing with bringing people back takes a lot of power and dark magic... It draws power from sacrifices of innocent... Jenna wouldn't want that to happen." Alaric explained.

"I understand... I wouldn't want that either." Juliet nodded before she went back to stirring the sauce so it didn"t stick to the pan.

.

Right on time, Monroe and Rosalee arrived. Nick told them immediately that Juliet knew about everything and that she'd like for them to Woga to she could see what they looked like.

If at first Monroe had been nervous about meeting a second Grimm, he quickly realised that he was a lot like Nick and that they could be friends.

All in all, the evening went by pretty nicely.

However, it showed Alaric just how much he missed his friends from mystic Fall's and so he made plans to call them the very next day to give them an update. He was also worried about Jeremy and Elena and he wanted to make sure that they were alright. He quickly got his phone out and texted to Damon that he would call the next morning and to try and get everyone in one place because he had big news for them.

.

The next morning, Nick and Juliet left for work while Alaric went back once again to the trailer to study the books. After he sat down, he saw it was the time he had told Damon he would call and so he took his phone out and dialed his best friend's number.

"Alaric, how is it going?" Damon answered.

"Pretty well actually. Is everyone here?" he asked.

"Well, witchy is still with her father's family but she's on speaker phone with Jeremy right now. Stefan is here, even if his emotions have been compelled to be turned off. He doesn't care about what you have to say but he is curious so he'll listen. Vampire barbie, doggy and Elena are here too." Damon replied.

"When will you stop with the nicknames already!" Alaric heard Caroline complain over the phone.

"So, what did you find Ric?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, just like Bonnie said, I found my brother along with a very shocking family secret. Did any of you ever hear of Grimm's?" Alaric asked.

"I have. They're some legendary super hunter of the supernatural." Damon replied.

"Yeah, not so legendary." Alaric said, dragging the first word out.

"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked.

"I am one." Alaric replied.

"Are you kidding me?" Damon exclaimed, shock evident in his voice along with a hint of respect and fear.

"Yeah, my brother is one too... Apparently it's a family thing." Alaric then proceeded to tell him everything he had found out about the Wesen and the story of the Originals.

"My grandmother told me something about other creatures and Wesen once but I thought she was drunk..." Bonnie breathed once Alaric was done.

"Now that's one big and messed up family..." Stefan said, thinking of the Originals before Elena asked:

"What about doppelgangers?"

"Well, right now I found out that an Hexenbeist can create one with the right ingredients... They can change someone into somebody else's doppelganger... I didn't find anything else for now but I'm still looking... There are so many books in there.. I'm bound to find something at some point." Alaric replied.

"I don't think even the Originals know about this part of their story..." Stefan said, showing some sort of emotion in his voice for the first time since he turned them off.

"Maybe we should tell them... Trade the information with them leaving us alone..." Elena suggested.

"It might be better to wait until I can find more information here." Alaric suggested.

"How long are you staying over there anyway?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm not sure but I'll definitly be back before school starts, unless something big happens and keeps me here anyway." Alaric replied.

"Good. Well, Don't hesitate to invite your brother to come along, we could always use some new blood around here!" Damon said.

"Damon!" Several voices complained.

"It's just a way of speaking. But seriously, I'd like to meet him." Damon replied and Alaric could almost see him roll his eyes.

"I'll see with him if he can get some vacations soon." Alaric replied before they changed the subject to other things.

.

After they hung up with Alaric, Elena, Damon and everyone else started discussing what had been found.

"You seemed impressed when he said he was a Grimm... Why is that?" Elena asked Damon.

"Well, from the stories I've heard, Grimm's are super bad ass. I thought it was just a legend parents told their baby monsters so they behaved but I guess I was wrong... It's pretty cool and it's better we have him on our side. Trust me on this!" Damon replied.

"Can you believe the Originals? Giving Klaus such a hard time for being an hybrid when they're all some sort of freaky mix..." Caroline said.

"Yeah... I hope this information will allow us to get him off our backs." Elena said.
