I woke the kids up, happy that today they were leaving. Kai looked through his clothes, the others quickly got ready for the arrival of Klaus. Tyler was hesitant to get out of bed so I just left him there, at least until the others were ready. They dressed and Kai came downstairs wearing the EXACT SAME clothes from yesterday.
"Go change your clothes Kai! I'm not handing you over in dirty clothes."
"Oh, these? They aren't dirty. I washed them, yesterday. Besides, he's never seen me in these clothes."
"This man? Who's coming? He is a HYBRID! A vampire and a werewolf. The man I said could cure your bite. I need to get some things ready so that I can turn you into a vampire again. One without magic. That way you can never die, it'll be just like that prison world but we, I and Klaus, will be your personal hell this time. You'll wish you could go back."
"Oh, I assure you that I could go back if I wanted." I smirked.
"How? You're not a witch anymore." His face fell instantly. "Now get your ass down here!"
"I thought you wanted me to change clothes?" I groaned. Stupid kid! Confusing me… "Whatever you say Damon." He came downstairs and I saw him, walking toward the kitchen. "I'm hungry, aren't you?" I can't wait for him to drop his cheery attitude. Sometimes I hated him.
"Don't worry, breakfast is already ready. Go get Tyler up. We still have to wait for Jeremy and Kol. I just hope he gives us enough time for you kids to get your act together."
"Did you say act? I can act! Here, watch this." He walked in and grabbed the fire poker. He began to poke the fire with it and spoke. "Once, when I was a kid, we would go down to the docks and just watch the birds tweet, the boats row, and more importantly, for us kids, the water roll back and forth. We'd play games with the water by seeing how far we could get in without actually getting wet. Now, I'm an old man and I just wish things could be simple again. Age is a curse upon some men who thin-" I grabbed him, forced him to drop the fire poker, which Stefan caught, and vamped him upstairs.
"That is NOT what I meant!" Kol and Jeremy came out of their room. "Can you guys please get Tyler out of bed? Feed him if you please Kol." I let go of Kai and took a deep breath. I walked downstairs and set out the breakfast, it was small because I was hoping this wouldn't take too long.
They all came downstairs and Tyler was frowning, wishing that today wasn't happening. I can't blame him. That's almost how I felt about seeing my father. But that was for different reasons. I gave them silverware and then Stefan began to dust them all off. I ate my food quickly and then went out to the front door, opening it, hoping to see a car. No car yet. I took my phone out, and began to text him.
'Where are you? Am I supposed to take them over there?' I waited and when I thought he wasn't going to answer my phone buzzed, three times.
'I'm coming to Mystic Falls.'
'I'm retrieving them.'
'Where do you want to meet?' I smiled, before beginning to text. So I wasn't late or anything like that.
'Salvatore Boarding House, I still have Tyler's things. I still have those manuals you gave me. I don't have any manuals for you. When are you coming? How far are you from here?'
'I am just outside of the city, I'll see you soon. You still have time to make one if you wish. Otherwise, my rules will apply. You will keep those manuals, their coming back in the first of next month. I will not need his things either, I could just buy him more.'
'Warning, kid doesn't like changing clothes.' I didn't get an answer so I sat down on the couch, waiting. The kids came out, sitting and turned on the TV. I tuned it out, listening for the sound of a parking car.
When it finally came I got up and headed to the door. They looked at me and I collected them into a line, watching the door, so that Klaus could just take them, I didn't want Stefan here while I… helped our mom become our mom again.
"Okay Kai, who comes through this door is your new papa." I saw Tyler squirming. I don't blame him.
Tyler turned to walk back when the door opened. "Ty Ty. Nice to see your back, come on look at me." He turned around, slowly.
"Okay Klaus, take them. Jeremy has a bag full of clothes, school clothes but it's all he's got." He walked forward, smiling. His eyes fell onto each of them until finally they rested on Kai. He smiled, giving a slight bow.
"Hello. You are Malachai Parker yes? Kai?" He stared at him. He turned to me, still smiling. What is he doing? Trying to seem nice? Give a good first impression? I nodded. He turned back to Kai. "My name is Klaus. I think it will be a fun June together. I can't wait to get to know you." He held out his hand and Kai took it.
"Hey, my name is Kai." Klaus' smile widened, happy to get a response. He turned to Kol when they dropped hands.
"Kol, take them to the car, I left it at the well, I'm sure you'll find it." He smiled at them before they left the house. Then he turned to me. "How did things go?"
"My only problem was that Tyler bit Lily, my mom." How many damn times am I going to have to act like I care she got bit?
"I'll handle it. Kai, what do you want me to do with him? You said he hates changing clothes?"
"He hates changing clothes, he'll mix me up with words, he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of a spanking nor does he understand rules or corner time, he's just so happy it makes me angry, even when he is in trouble. I've taken him shopping but he still refuses to change into the clothes I bought for him, instead he stays with the two sets of clothes he had from the prison world. He looks 22 but he is actually 40 years old. He's been trapped and he finally left this year and now he's my problem. He killed his family a few days ago, and I mean dead dead, not daggered lying in boxes. I guess he one upped you. Now he's my problem and I have no clue what to do with him, all I know is he pisses me off." He had kept eye contact the whole time while I spoke.
"Well Damon, he could never one up me because he has been beat, the prison world and the fact that he is now human. I have never been beat and am still at large but that is not a concern. You ask me to help you teach him to understand the concept of good behaviour and bad behaviour. Meaning we need to start at stage one. I'll handle this. He'll be back on July 1st. You can see how far I've gotten and then you can keep going from there. Then I'll be back when school begins or after July. Either one is good for me but I will be taking Kai from you again since, as you said, he only manages to piss you off."
"And you think that a part werewolf like yourself can handle not getting angry at him? When he infuriates me?"
"Well Damon, what you have to keep in mind is, he is only a child. He knows no better. From what you've said earlier that his parents let him isolate himself and then just tried to have more children? That tells me they didn't care for him. Kai and I are the same in the fact that both our… dads call us abominations. What was his problem?"
"Magic sucker. He's a siphon."
"Very well, I'll take it from here. Thank you, if you have any more background tell me." He turned and headed out. I smiled, glad to be rid of them all. I'd already told him everything. He'd asked for a background and I gave it to him when he first asked.
(Klaus POV)
I left the Salvatore Boarding House and headed to the car, they'd gotten in like I requested. From what Damon's told me, Kai is nothing more than a child with the mental capacity of a four year old. Right now he's human. However, Damon planned on getting him turned into a vampire, I was just fine with that.
I got into the driver seat. This wasn't my car but it was still the car hijacked so it didn't matter really did it? I began to drive. I would let them talk to each other while we were in the car but when we got in the jet I would talk to them about how things would work.
(Stefan POV)
I was sitting beside Klaus in the car, having gotten in the shot gun. I looked back to see that Kol was sitting beside Kai, Kai beside Tyler and Jeremy was in the back of the car, listening to his music. "Hey, what do you guys wanna do? It's summer time now."
"I think I'm going to go ride some coasters and try some water slides. Then get a snow cone and watch a movie online or something. I don't really see the difference between summer and the rest of the year, it's all the same. Right?" Kai was the first to reply.
"The difference comes in depending on how you live. You haven't had to go to school have you?" Jeremy replied.
"School? Oh, I've been there but it was pointless so I dropped out. It's okay though. I learned quite a bit."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Like how to fly a plane, drive a bus, many things you guys probably don't know how."
"Because you've been in the prison world with no distractions."
"Is that supposed to mean something?"
"It only means that you, my friend, are an amazing person." Kol came into the conversation. I wanted to jump back there and keep talking to them.
"Hey, Stefan? Remember when we were in Junior year? Or maybe it was Sophomore year. Elena, Caroline and I got us all together and we went to the beach with snacks and other things. It was fun right?"
"Yes, we took more than we should have and stayed longer than we should have."
"You wanna do it again this year?"
"Ooh, sounds fun. We can do it this month and next month."
"Hey, get me some cheetos."
"No, a moolatte!"
"Who wants music?" I asked, turning on the radio and flipping across many stations. I chose The Fox 106.9 to listen to. We listened for a bit to see if it fit today's mood. I quickly changed it when it didn't even suit us. I looked to Klaus. "What do you think we should listen to?" He looked at me.
"I think we should listen to something other than that." I hit his shoulder.
"I mean try to find a station." Kai reached past and changed it to The Buzz. I listened for a minute as the song played. "Anyone have any clue on how to love Mondays?"
"Songs? No, there are none… that you could find. But I have my phone." Kol raised his phone in the air. "I have free internet anywhere, thanks to my mate Nik here." He grabbed Nik's shoulder, smiling.
"Of course, the best for my family."
"The radio itself sucks unless you care for those annoying commercials." Kai replied.
"Hey! Those commercials paid good money to air themselves. It's like TV. Only with music and you have too many choices to choose from. The TV has a limit."
"It teaches you to be patient."
"I don't really care for commercials." I put in, countering Tyler.
"Meaning your an impatient bastard?" Kai replied, raising his brow.
"Hey! Don't call him that! He's a lot more patient than you are!" Tyler growled.
"Oh yeah? What about me? I'm the most patient person on the planet!" Kol scorned, laughing at himself. Wow.
"I don't really care what you try to tell me what I am or am not." I replied.
"Well then, let's see. What can I call you?"
"SILENCE!" I jumped at Nik yelling at us. "Kai, apologize to Stefan. Tyler, don't push it. I still remember about Lily AND Kai. Don't start anything. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, you don't get to talk them down for it."
"Unless that opinion they don't agree with is yours!" Kol called.
"KOL!" He bit his lip and looked to the floor. I frowned myself and looked away, I felt scolded. And by my best friend no less… I looked out the window and we watched the scenery change. I felt us come to a stop finally.
"Nik?" I looked to him.
"Grab your things Jeremy. We're here, this is my private jet, we'll be home in about an hour. With ten minutes to spare to keep from the two hour mark. Now that we're here, I'll tell you how things will work at my house for this month. The entire month." He got out, picked up Tyler and carried him into the jet while the rest of us walked after him.
I helped Jeremy with his bag, that Damon had of course over filled, and into the jet with Kol and Kai walking behind us. I set it down and Nik picked it up and put it in the luggage compartment. He walked over into the cockpit area and I sat down next to Kai who was checking on Kol's phone.
"Jelly Stefy?" Kol asked. "You're Nik's best friend and Kai is mine."
"Liar, you have many friends because you-"
"Stefan, find a seat please. I need to get the kids to sit down." Nik walked over to them and then there was a blast of music from Kol's phone. Nik stared at Kai. The song was hilariously cursing. As a kid in his presence you weren't allowed to do that. Why I have no clue. He didn't even know why. It was just something he didn't like hearing from them. He grabbed the phone before Kol could and turned it down and changed the channel. He handed it to Kol and he handed it right back to Kai who looked around again.
I smiled before playing my own song. "Shots" by LMFAO. I dug through his things and pulled out the alcohol and handed it out. Nik vamped over and shoved it all back in before shoving me into a seat. I heard the song "Jumper" coming from Kai's phone. Tyler and Kol were looking around for music as well. There were now blasts of "I Cry" and "Know Your Enemy". I smiled. How awesome! I grabbed Nik's phone and played "Everything Is Awesome". Jer was asleep, Kol and Jer had played this game way into the night, making Damon think it was a long list of 'sleeping songs'. Kol still put him in the game with "Stay Together For The Kids".
Nik covered his ears and waited. I got up and danced as the jet took off, Kol followed my lead, followed by Jeremy, Tyler and then Kai got up and danced with us. I tried to pull Nik from his seat but he refused. I sighed before turning back to the others.
(Kol POV)
MUSIC! Was the moment right now. We had a song from maybe all the styles we liked. I had played "I Cry" which seemed to be fighting with the others to be the dominant one. "Everything Is Awesome" ended first. Aww. Mann. I quickly started the other songs over again. Which resulted in more DANCING! YAY! Anything to keep Nik off topic. Poor Kai. He didn't know what he'd gotten himself into. The songs all began to fight again, YES! Confused noise! Wait, why is that a yay?
I don't know nor do I care. To listen to Green Day you'd have to strain your ears to listen. Quite a quiet screaming song… I looked around to see that Kai had sat back down, so I did the only logical thing. I yanked him from his seat and began to dance with him. Summer had started! He should be happy! That means I no longer have a burning desire to bomb the Mystic Falls High School. Green Day ended so I once again reset the other songs. Nik growled at me but I smiled, I'm nothing but an angel. Nik had lost the game, and so had Tyler. The only contestants still standing were me, Kai, Stefan and Jeremy.
The next loser song was… MINE! I cried, I'd lost. I NEVER lose! I replayed the rest of the songs, that left Kai, Stefan, and Jeremy. The last three finalists. What a fun gambling game. Poor thing Jeremy was sleeping instead of playing. Then again he's a human. He can't take as much as a vampire, let alone an Original. I started my dancing again and Nik began to tap on his arm rest. I ignored it and kept going, hoping he'd let us. Then I realized something, the song "Shots" was more so allowed to be heard now so that meant he could hear it too… Maybe he'd let it keep going, just in case, God? Please let the song finish first this time! It wouldn't be fair to the rest of us.
Thankfully Stefan was dropped from the tournament. Meaning it was now Jer vs. Kai. I didn't know if I was supposed to vote for the person or the song. I loved all four of them. I kept dancing, having reset it once more, this time, who ever lost would lose and there would only be a replay of the winning song and we would all have to sing the song. Which is why I didn't know which to vote for. We had played this game for a while though. I didn't know if there was a name for this game but we didn't have one. I had forgotten about blink 182. The other band was… third blind eye. I voted for blink 182 because we heard the song Jumper a lot more compared to that other song. Maybe I could pause the other song until I knew it would win… NO! That would be unfair to Kai. Why did Kai have to choose that song? Why didn't Jeremy choose a song I hate?… I chose the song… hehe. I smiled, keeping up with the dancing, Kai looked tired of dancing. He was slowing down. I grabbed him and began to slow dance, helping him to find a dance style for his needs. Jeremy lost and now Kai's song was to be replayed. I sighed.
"You win Kai, we will replay this song and sing AND dance to it, all at once." I smiled, replaying it.
"Well that certainly is a way to decide which song to listen to first, I guess. You could sort them between loser and winner. Though the length of the song is a cheat. So I say it's a no go." Kai replied. "Besides, I'm tired of dancing." I replayed the song before grabbing and pulling him to my side. "Let's do it together!" We began to sing "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind, against everyone's will…. Because I'm awesome!
"I sang that wonderfully. You all slacked off." I clapped for me, the rest sat down, Kai went to the back, the restroom. I smiled. I turned to Nik. "Now is commercial time brother. Speak your piece as soon as he's back."
"You guys spent some time doing that. I'm happy you had fun. That was 20 minutes gone away. Well, welcome back Kai. Sit down please, that goes for you too Kol." I sat down beside Jeremy and shook him awake again. He jumped.
"Are we there yet?"
"No, you lost the game. Why don't we play-"
"Now, before you children find another game to play, I need to speak. I have, at home, a list of rules that you all need to learn and follow. I'll give you all today to do so, though I doubt you'll learn it in one day despite how few rules we have. The problem you might find is that some of the rules will be broken down into many sections. More importantly, Kol is the only one who answers to just me. I had decreed it so already. Those two rules are no cursing, which we have a list for and then the most difficult one, that breaks into many pieces and situations. Obey. It might seem easy but what you need to know is that on the obedience scale, I AM ALWAYS FIRST. Do I make myself clear?" I nodded, as did everyone but Kai. "Is there a problem Kai?"
"Why are you always first? Who else lives over there?"
"Elijah and Rebekah. However there are now new people. There are Freya and Finn. Those two you don't listen to. I'm always first because I am the King of New Orleans and I say so."
"So you say you go first? How does that work? Are you really the king?" I frowned, if he wasn't careful Nik would kill him already. Nik smiled.
"I appreciate your curiosity. It's a good quality. I'll move on, all you need to know is that my order goes first. IF we do collide that is, so far we never have. As far as I can remember, we only have six rules. Plenty less than Damon has, I'm sure. As I've heard from Jeremy."
"Yeah. He never really says his rules out loud, instead he hands over a list and never says why."
"Well he's never dealt with a child before, I have. In fact, you'll meet him when we get there. So I wanted to tell you that we HAVE rules. That is what I first wanted to inform you of. Now I want to tell you what happens IF you break the rules. There is a list of things that could happen. What I'm sure is Damon's ONLY form of discipline, spanking. Then there is time out, there is scolding, otherwise known as lecturing, there is a soaping, which of course is if you curse. You'll be pleased to know that I have made a guide chart, if only to help you know what type of consequences there are. Like grounding, that can happen. I've grounded both of my kids at least once. The last part I want to go over is that Elijah and Rebekah will also tell you what to do. They will also deal with your misbehaviour. The thing is, whoever is in the room with the misbehaved, will deal out the discipline. If we are all in the room, then whoever is closest. It is an unspoken rule. However, with my children, if they need discipline my children, they shall receive more from me when I hear of it or when I get time to deal with it. I am a busy man but for now, there are no problems that need be dealt with. In fact, it is quite peaceful. Any questions?" We shook our heads and he smiled. "Now, before you think the only thing we care about is how you behave, Kai, I should tell you that it is not. What we care MOST about is… as with the discipline there is an unspoken list of things that come first. I shall try to explain it in detail… also there are unspoken rules, that are common sense, we think you need not have to be told in order to follow the rule. We care most about your safety, something that should be obvious but someone might not know it, so I said it. The second on our caring list is family, as in we don't want you to be sad or lonely. We care about how you feel, so if need be you shall come to us for anything you might need. The third on that list is food, though I think it changes depending on what your species is. It could be safety, food and water, and then family. So after that comes behaviour. Yes we finally found it's place in our list of what comes first. Then comes fun. As in games and activities. That should cover everything. Any questions on that bit?"
"No, I have no questions." Kai replied. "You've explained your thoughts quite clearly. I just hope there's a reason I should care about following the rules."
"Safety purposes. Most of the time. That is why you should obey. I shall explain them if they are unclear. Cursing is wrong because it shows little thought about others and sympathy is a very highly valued concept around us. I myself need another look and I myself helped made up the rules." Kai laughed.
"Made up the rules?"
"Laid out the rules. They are not made up. I promise you that. Now, play a game or something. We still have about an hour to go. Time is flying by so slowly for you guys without your games. We'll stay at home and get to know each other today and then tomorrow we'll play family games and such. It is after all summer."
(Kai POV)
I watched Klaus take Tyler to the back of the plane and Kol was playing with Stefan, playing songs again. I was wondering why I should listen to the rules, I hate rules. Unless I made them. Jeremy went back to sleeping. We still had an hour to kill so I looked on my phone to find something to challenge them with. I found blink 182, Kol had said he liked those guys so I'd beat him with his own favourite band. I chuckled as I tried to find a long one.
Kol was playing Secrets by the Pierces, Stefan was playing If I Die Young by Taylor Swift. I put on Not Now by Blink 182. We reset the songs to make them see who won. I couldn't even hear mine playing. I grabbed the other people's phones so we could put them in the next song battle. Ooh. That's what is should be named! Song Battle! Stefan lost first, well duh, Taylor Swift didn't even play that long of songs that I know of anyway. Kol and I replayed our songs, whoever won had to sing the song. I had been sitting, they'd been dancing. This was apparently a good exercise game.
"You're not going to be able to beat my song! My song tells secrets!"
"Well my song shouldn't be playing." I laughed a bit, knowing that it would easily beat his song. "You LOVE blink 182, so be prepared for them to kill you!" My song beat his as I saw Klaus and Tyler coming back, Tyler was crying as he was carried by Klaus. Maybe Tyler was his son? Damon had made a joke about Klaus being my 'papa' I hadn't thought about it at the time but I could have replied that I killed my dad and see him seethe at my simple words. I replayed my song for Kol as I saw the screen lower from the ceiling and begin to play a show about a bear, a pig, a rabbit, a tiger and other animals, they were drawn weird, why would a bear wear clothes? I walked over and sat at the window, watching it with Tyler and Klaus.
(Tyler POV)
I had just come from the bathroom and Daddy had punished me for biting the girl Salvatore, despite my protests that Damon said he wanted her dead FIRST! Well at least this would be the end of it. I cuddled closer to him, he kissed my forehead, before turning me to watch the show, Babysitter Blues. Winnie The Pooh. Part of me wanted to smile, but around this new kid, I didn't want to look childish nor did I want to seem like a 3 year old. I've already lost track of how old I actually am. I'd need a calculator… hehe.
Kol came over with a song playing and I shooed him away. "Kol! I'm trying to watch this."
"Yeah, I am too. I like that song, I'll be with you in a minute, go wake up Jeremy, he's too old for naps."
"No he isn't. Not if he really needs it."
"I'll just be going now." Kol replied and we turned to watch the TV screen. Daddy hummed.
"Well I think we have enough time to watch this." We watched the show and soon it was over, too soon. I looked up to see him.
"Do we have time for another episode?"
"I doubt there are 10 minute episodes. Find your things, we're getting ready to leave." He stood me up and I took my phone back before waiting.
When the plane landed, Daddy led us off the plane. He put us in his car, before driving us home. When we got there, we were greeted by Rebekah and Elijah. I smiled, happy.
(Kai POV)
"Okay, I'll give you guys the list of our six, more or less, rules and then we'll have lunch when you all wrote them at least six times, after that we'll go shopping, without you Rebekah, you will buy half the store." He laughed. I looked around and it was quite a spacious room we were in.
Kol sat down and Jeremy followed his lead. I led Tyler to their table where we also sat down. I didn't know what we were waiting for but soon Klaus came over with papers and pens. I grabbed one and tried it out by making a few markings, it worked quite well.
1. Obedience
2. Respect
3. No Cursing
I thought he said there were six rules. I began to write, this was easy. Though I do understand why he said it breaks into many rules. Obedience is practically anything they say, Respect was how to treat others, Cursing was wrong because it can start fights? I don't really care for that one. My mouth is my mouth and I can say what I like.
When I finished, I was the last one besides Jeremy. Klaus came back, smiling. "Lunch is ready." I got up and found my way to the kitchen. I sat down at the table and waited to be served. Klaus placed a plate in front of me and I began to eat. The other man looked at me.
"Wait." I stopped, putting my silverware down. Waiting. Besides, finished plate equals quicker time for Klaus to try and trick me into wearing clothes that don't belong to me, weird. All of these people were weird, or maybe I was the weird one. Seeing as I haven't had REAL human interaction for 20 years. I'd gotten used to doing what I want when I want and no one even there to tell me if I was doing it wrong or not.
Everyone sat down with a plate and I stole the moment of praying for the food. I finished my plate before washing it clean and then finding something they'd set out for dessert and sitting down with my newly washed fork. I slowly savoured the taste of the mint flavoured cupcake. I smiled with delight at every delicious morsel. These people knew how to cook. I finished my cupcake and washed my dishes again before finding their proper place. I watched everyone else finish before washing their dishes, just for the hell of it.
"Okay, let's go to the store. We're going shopping."
"Okay, have fun." I replied.
"You're coming with us." I shook my head. He led me into the courtyard where he sat down, smiling. Patiently, I followed his lead, intending to beat him at his own game. "How many pairs of clothes do you think I wear?"
"I have no clue, maybe three."
"Well that is true, you'd have no clue of knowing. How many pairs of clothes do you think Jeremy wears?"
"I'd go with at least 20."
"Damon?"
"Twenty pairs, one jacket."
"It doesn't matter how clean you keep your clothes, how unwrinkled they are, or how often you wash your clothes, you need new ones, as a human you'll start to give them your odor, that even humans can smell. You have your own scent and humans shouldn't be able to track you down. Besides you need summer wear, not spring wear."
"Their the same."
"No, summer wear you can swim in. We're going shopping." He ruffled my hair and I smiled, I'd lost this round. What was wrong with new clothes?
"Those clothes don't belong to me."
"Once we buy them they will."
"So I can NOT steal something by buying it?"
"Most of the time, yes." He grabbed my hand and led me back to his car and we drove off to the store, the others had already been waiting. I looked around for new clothes to wear for summer, looking in the summer section, or so it said anyway.
I tried not to find anything that looked good but I failed, I found things to wear to swim in. Like shorts, tops, swim trunks, and I found some jackets too. I put them all in a basket and just collected as I pleased.
We checked out and when we got back to their house I dropped them all in the bottom of the closet in my borrowed room… Klaus had given us two rooms. One to each of us and one we were supposed to sleep in, if we behaved. What he meant by behaviour was quite odd, anything is behaving, you have to specify or people like me won't know what you're talking about. I confess, I'm being stubborn, soon he will break.
(Tyler POV)
"DINNER!" I jumped. What? Already? I looked up at Daddy and he only smirked before carrying me in there. I was sat in a chair next to him and everyone came in slowly. He got me a plate and a drink. I looked to see it was blood. I bit my lip, trying to ignore the blood. I would not resort to drinking that. But… I was already in trouble once. I saw Marcel come in and smiled. He smiled back and then I noticed Daddy put Kolinn in his high chair as Genevieve just sat holding another baby. Dad had said her name was Geena. He'd said we had a new member of the family.
"Who wants to say the prayer?" asked Aunt Beky. I smiled as Dad replied… by saying the prayer.
"Thank you, Lord, for the food we are about to receive, and for the nourishment to our bodies. Amen." I picked up my fork and began to eat my steak, mashed potatoes, and beans. I savoured every morsel, trying to take up all the time in dinner.
When everyone was almost finished with their meal, I quickly finished mine, I had more than they did and I saw Dad drop a straw in my cup. I sighed. Bast- jer-…. Meanie. I grabbed my silverware, plate and cup and put them in the sink. I walked up to my room and began a bath.
I turned around to see a blood bag on top of my tooth brush. I looked around and saw no one. I took the bag, tore it open with my teeth, turned on the faucet and poured it all into the toilet quickly. I flushed the toilet, putting the empty blood bag on the counter and sighed, turning the faucet off. I know that was wrong but… it was the only way I could actually fight Klaus without actually out right telling him to piss off.
I brushed my teeth and then turned back to my bath before getting in and showering.
(Kol POV)
I was trying to tackle Nik, trying to get my ball back but he kept dodging me. I rolled my eyes before trying once more. "Nik? Please can I have my ball back?" He rolled his eyes.
"Kol, I said I'd give it back to you, I just want to know if Tyler actually drank when he was over at Damon's." I squinted at him. Hell no am I betraying his trust. I shrugged.
"I have no clue, but if you want my ball, keep it." He glared at me.
"I am being serious Kol, DID HE FEED?" I sighed.
"Yes Nik, he fed." enough not to desiccate. He stared at me hard for a minute and I tried to keep my face on, try not to give us away. He smiled before pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek. He gave my ball back and I smiled before returning the family gesture.
"Get ready for bed Kol. You four are sleeping together. In one bed or four is up to you, which is why I put a four person bunk bed in the room." He smirked. "I thought you of all people would be satisfied." I smiled before running of to bathe.
(Jeremy POV)
I didn't need to wash my hair because I'd washed it last night. Elena and Damon would be getting back together now that school was out. They didn't like me seeing it, and I was just fine with it. I got a text and I reached over and checked my phone. Damon?
'How's your first of thirty days over there been?' I smiled before answering.
'We spent today 'learning' Klaus' rules. HE only has 6! What is wrong wit u?'
'Jeremy?'
'Yes?'
'SHUT UP!' I rolled my eyes before texting.
'Good night… Damy.' I quickly turned my phone off. Only Stefan was allowed to call him that. Damon called him Pikolo. I'd overheard once when Damon had gotten pissed at Stefan. I got out and grabbed my towel, having finished bathing.
(Kai POV)
I'd taken a quick in-out bath and was now lying on the top floor of a bunk bed I'd found… okay fine. Klaus led me here. I was wearing too long sleeved top and too long pants. Only too long by the fact I'd have to roll my sleeves and legs up like three times. It had eclipses on it with bears jumping them, weird but I'd chosen them for their length and the eclipse. It had both lunar and solar.
I looked down as I saw Jeremy enter, led in by Klaus. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the bed. He laid down on the bottom bunk and I smiled. Klaus left and I laid back, crossing my arms, lying my head on my arms, staring at the high ceiling. This house was huge. I'd have fun just exploring the thing.
Eventually Kol and Tyler entered, Tyler lying in the second to bottom bed. I loved this bed, there was a slide to go down back to the floor for two of the beds, top most two beds obviously, and a ladder to the third bed. The fourth bed you could easily get off of. I smiled before rolling onto my side.
"Okay, who's got the music, we can't go to sleep without music."
"I've got it!" Jer called and I rolled onto my stomach. Of course there were BARS on the sides of the bed. To keep us from rolling off? I yawned before sitting up, bored. I didn't know how to get to bed seeing as I was in such a maze like house. There were so many things to see. I wouldn't leave this house ever. I decided to wait it out before going back downstairs.
We listened to music and when I didn't hear anything coming from the house besides that, I leaned down to see Kol. I smiled when he showed he was awake by looking right at me and smiling. I smirked. I mouthed to him about going down and he smiled, nodding. I carefully crept down the ladder as he did the same.
We reached to floor again before I led the way out and to the bottom floor. Kol opened a door and I looked in to see a painting room. I looked around and Kol gently shoved me out before we kept looking around at all the rooms. Kol opened one door that led to a set of stairs. I looked at him and he smiled before shaking his head.
'Nothing in there, only our basement and coffins…. I think.' I nodded, bored but marking this rooms existence. We moved on before we heard a creak and I stopped in my tracks, waiting. Kol listened before we kept moving, but aiming to find a different way up the stairs without actually taking the stairs, where we'd obviously be spotted. I know he didn't say go to sleep exactly but I didn't want to take any chances.
Kol eventually stated that we should just go back up the stairs and I rolled my eyes before following him. He led me back to our room and I climbed back up to my bed as he followed suit. When I finally got under the covers, I heard the door creak open. I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep, it tricked Damon, why not him? Or whoever that was.
They stayed there for a minute before they left, closing the door again. I sighed in relief before trying to go to sleep.
(R&R Please? These stories I'm going to actually try and make into what I think a day should be like. I will also be trying to get the four to bond. What I really want to do, since I don't think we got far enough into Kai's character is give it some meaning and him a character and background. I don't mean family or where he came from, I mean like how anyone I know agrees that Kol is the fun brother and Elijah is the moral brother.)
