Chapter 19
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Klaus and Caroline were wondering in the city wondering where Matt and Rebekah could be. Strange things had been happening in this city now an original calls for help because they can't seem to defend themselves? Caroline shook her head at the thought. Klaus had tracked his sister to the woods and found a phone. Caroline picked it up recognizing that it was Matt's. The screen was cracked and damaged. She looked around hesitantly worried for her friend as Klaus began searching the footprints and anything else that might give him a clue to what had happened. Caroline smelled it. Blood. She looked around heard breathing as well before she began to follow it. When she turned and found Matt leaned up against a tree holding his arm. It was bleeding and heard movement. She turned to see Rebekah flash into the clearing. Her clothes bloody but it wasn't just others blood but hers. The original looked as if she had been stabbed a thousand times or so. She ran over to Matt and gave Caroline a nod.
"Klaus," Caroline said. Klaus was at her side in an instant as Rebekah seemed to be less concerned with what happened and all her attention was on the human.
"Rebekah what happened?" He asked. Rebekah shook her head.
"It's impossible." She said. He gave her a look.
"What's impossible Rebekah?" He demanded.
"A demon,"
"Do you mean Lexi?"
"Lexi? Well she did have many call her that."
"Blonde,"
"Yes,"
"That was Stefan's best friend. She was nice."
"Was?"
"She's dead, been dead for a while." Elena admitted.
"Oh well that must have been why she didn't show up at the ball?" Elena looked at him.
"You invited her to your mother's ball?" Elijah nodded.
"Yes, well at the time I had thought she was still alive, and I thought it would be nice getting in touch with an old friend." Elijah explained. Elena nodded.
"How did you meet her?" She asked.
"I was in Salem Massachusetts at the time actually. I had a friend there that I helped escape from the bloodshed of the Salem witch trials. I met her there actually. And I was the one that turned her." Elijah said.
Flashback:
Elijah had just helped his dear friend and witch Sarah Gibson escape. Elijah wasn't at all sure why this town seem to irritate him but it was most likely the fact that many of these women being convicted of witchcraft weren't witches at all. And the girls that were convicting them thought that it was quite entertaining watching people die or have their lives ruined. He wished to show them what death is really like. If they knew what he was. Elijah was still wondering in the city when he heard a scream and turned to find a family. There were men walking up to a young girl with light brown eyes and he was able enough to tell that her hair was blonde under the bonnet. He listened.
"You are making a mistake my daughter isn't a witch! She goes to church every noon!" The man that appeared to be the girl's father said.
"Tell that to the girl who screamed seeing your daughter with a poppet(voodoo doll) She said it was your daughter. She is under arrest." The man said. As the family argued with the men the other two men took the daughter away as she struggled. The woman that appeared to be the mother turned to him and her eyes went wide as if she knew something. She strayed away from her husband and other two daughters. She shook nervously.
"Please," She begged. "Please, save my daughter. I know you can. Please save her. She is innocent but they will not listen. Even God would say that this is madness. Please I beg you save my daughter." Elijah swallowed hard and knew that this woman knew what he was. And yet she was willing to have her daughter to become one so that she would live.
Elijah walked into the cells. He had compelled the guard away and walked down the hallway passing many women and girls chained up looking sick beaten and harmed. He was not surprised. It was probably worse here than death. When he turned her found the blonde girl chained to a wall. Her bonnet was gone her hair messed and ruffled. Her face was dirty along with her clothes. And her shoes were gone. There were a few marks on her face of dried blood. He sighed and opened the door slowly before walking in and kneeling down in front of the girl. She seemed to feel a presence despite being so weak. She gasped and looked at him frightened. She swallowed hard and tried to say something but he cut her off.
"Do not fear me for I mean you no harm." He said. "My name is Elijah, I was asked to come for your sake." He explained. "Your mother," The girl looked at him curiously now. "And you are?"
"Alexia Branson,"
"It's nice to meet you Miss Branson, the reason why your mother sent me is because she believes I have a way to save you." She looked at him confused. "I can save you but I am not sure that it would be the way that you would want to be saved." Alexia swallowed hard and stared at him.
"Like what?"
"Again I mean you no harm. But in truth I am not what I appear to be. And most of the time I hide in the shadows and am mostly isolated." She waited for him to tell her what he was exactly. Was he a warlock? "I am a vampire, and what they like to call the first. I am an original." She stared at him. She had heard of the legend. Vampires came out night to drink blood and harm people. And here was one in front of her, as well as they were the first to be created vampire. "Now here is what I can offer you and you can make the choice. You can be hanged tomorrow and that would be that. Or I can save you by turning you."She stared at him.
"Turn me?" He nodded. "Into one of you?" She asked. Again he nodded.
"If you want. As I said the choice is yours. But know if you chose to be turned nothing will be the same as it was before." Alexia didn't want to be one of them. But didn't want to die either. As well as finding some sort of curiosity of being a vampire. She took a deep breath finally making her decision.
"Yes," She said. "I would like to be turned."
Flashback ended:
"So you did turn Lexi?" He nodded. "You saved her from being hanged." She smiled. Elijah was always like the knight really.
"Well she was hanged but she was alive again, soon after that." He said. Elijah looked at the time. "We should probably be getting back. It is quite late." Elena nodded and Elijah paid the bill before they walked out.
Klaus, Caroline, Rebeakh and Matt were in the bar. Sophie was patching up Matt's arm. Rebekah was shaking slightly with fear. Caroline knew what Rebekah had said and knew what they were but couldn't believe that such a thing was real and were able to do some pretty good damage to an original.
"Perhaps it was a Familiar." Sophie said. They all turned to her.
"A what?" Matt asked.
"A Familiar, it is a demon of a witch. Almost like a pet that a witch can control that could be from Hell itself." Rebekah shook her head.
"They were possessing humans. I was relieved when I finally was able to get some of a upper hand on them. I still ended up getting hurt though." Matt looked at her.
"Thanks for saving me," He said. She smiled and nodded. Caroline glanced to the blonde original. Had this original just saved her friend Matt from demons? Perhaps Rebekah wasn't that bad after all. But that didn't mean she trusted her yet.
"Whatever is going on, it now looks as if demons had emerged into town."
"Only a witch could have done that. But if what Rebekah said is true about being more than just five were not dealing with an ordinary witch here. A normal witch could probably only release two this one release almost ten." Sophie said. Caroline and Klaus made a glance.
"Silas," She said to him. Sophie looked between the two.
"Silas?"
"No," Caroline looked at Matt who stood looking at her.
"Silas is still in Mystic Falls and Stefan and Damon have been fighting him. They have been giving me updates every day." He explained.
"The Bennett witch," Klaus said. Caroline gave him a glare.
"Bonnie would never do such a thing." Caroline insisted. Klaus put his hands up.
"Sorry love,"
"She just could be that powerful." Matt said. Caroline nodded before her phone rang. She looked at them and Sophie nodded for her to take the call. Caroline walked outside so that the others could talk.
"Hello?" She said.
"Caroline! Oh thank god I thought something happened to you. I mean you didn't answer any of my texts or calls. I tried calling your mom nothing." Tyler's voice was on the other end. Some boyfriend he had been. If anything she just realized that he didn't even know about her mother's death. If he really cared he would have known. She thought.
"Tyler my mother's dead. She has been dead for a while now."
"What? Oh care I am so sorry." He said.
"Whatever, if you cared you would have known."
"Caroline, you know it's hard to find out these things when Klaus is trying to hunt me down like a deer." He said.
"Klaus is in New Orleans doing some business."
"Oh well maybe I can return." He said.
"I am also in New Orleans with him," There was a slight pause at the end.
"WHAT?!" He yelled. So loud that she had to move the phone away from her ear. "Did he kidnap you? I am coming right now."
"No, he didn't Tyler. Stefan sent me up here to get some help from Klaus. I had turned off my humanity." She said.
"What? Why?" She was getting tired of explaining it. It was like Elena could turn hers off with no explanation needed.
"My mother died Tyler. I was all alone." She said.
"Well perhaps we can-
"No Tyler there is no 'we' anymore." She said taking a deep breath. "Did you enjoy your rondayvoo with Hayley?" She asked. Silence.
"Caroline, it's not…I can explain…"
"You don't need to explain, I already knew that once she was here we weren't going to be together too much longer. I just didn't want that to happen but it did and I can't stop everything and now I realized that I should have stopped it because the truth is Tyler you are still the same person that you were before you became a werewolf and a hybrid."
"Caroline-
"No! I don't want to talk about this anymore. Besides Tyler I don't think it would be wise for you to be away from Hayley."
"Why?"
"Because she is pregnant."
"What?"
"With your child."
"No…that's impossible…"
"That's what I had thought. But I guess being born a true werewolf has that ability as well." She rolled her eyes.
"Perhaps you should call her and not me." She said hanging up the phone. She breathed a sigh of relief as she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her.
"Everything alright love?" She turned to Klaus as he walked outside to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said.
"You were talking to Tyler." It wasn't a question. But she thought she saw sadness in his eyes as he turned away to compose himself.
"Yes,"
"I suppose you wish to go to him." Klaus said. She shook her head.
"More of I had to finish some business with him." He looked at her. "We broke up officially." She said. He looked at her with shock.
"I'm sorry,"
"We both know you're not," He chuckled. "And I broke up with him." She said.
"Why? I had thought he was the love of your life."
"I had thought that too. But I am starting to see that my high school life is over and I need to accept that I may not be changing on the outside but I am on the inside. Tyler and I were somewhat a means to an end. I mean we were teenagers getting lost in the idea of love when it really wasn't meant to last forever." She explained and turned to him. "Besides feel guilty anymore." He looked at her confused.
"Guilty? Guilty of what?" He asked.
"Of this," She grabbed his face and kissed him.
Note: So there you go another chapter. She KISSED HIM! YAY! Lol it just had to be at the right moment I thought that she would possibly give into him to her feelings for him. So tell me what you think? Reviews. Thanks.
