Mystic Falls
(Damon POV)
Lily was running around town right now. She trying to form a council. Alaric, Jo, Elena, and I were helping her. Ric talked me into it. He said that it would be better if this town did have a council because it needs more than him and I to protect this town. I eventually agreed we couldn't keep out every single supernatural creature, though I'd love to try. So we were interviewing people or something. I have no idea what we're doing, just asking questions to the people most viable for a council.
(Klaus POV)
I was up, not watching or talking with Katerina this time. She was still in bed with Elijah. No my eyes were on Marcellus. He'd just walked into the room. Gen was cooking today. Marcel looked at me, noticing my stare. Oops.
"Good to see you up early today Marcel."
"I didn't feel like sleeping in."
"Today you will at least go see Davina once."
"Why?" He shook his head. "I mean, why are you asking me to go see Davina?"
"Because her and Tim are running out of money to spend on their apartment. She texted me last night about it. That they'd have to find a different place to sleep. Tim's back but his acceptance into whatever their trying to do is taking longer than they thought it would. So you are going to give them more money because, as I see it, you adopted her when you took her from those witches. You treat her like a daughter weapon. Or did anyway. Now she's nothing more than your daughter." I smiled at him.
"You think I adopted her? I'll take them some money, I promise."
"Oh? Then go do it now. Gen, feed him. Now." She looked up and went to do as I said. Amazing. "Thank you Gen."
"Anything for you Nik."
"Hmm." I watched her work as I pulled out $5,000. "I don't know how much an apartment is so you can just give them this. If they need more, I'll send you with more tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?"
"Wait… so… you like Davina Claire now?" I blinked at him. Is he just now figuring that out?
"Really Marcellus? It took you that long to figure that out?"
"Well, yeah. Last I checked, you wanted her dead. Like dead dead." He replied, crossing his arms.
"Well, to be exact, you have to be dead dead to be considered dead, Marcellus. Now eat and take her money. From there you can do whatever you want." He nodded.
"Thanks Dad."
"You're welcome. I suppose. Now I'm going to wake the kids, which by the way, thank you for watching them when I asked you to."
"Wasn't it mandatory for me to watch them when you asked me to?"
"No. It wasn't mandatory. I could have found someone else to do so." He smiled.
"Yeah, kind of forgot about that fact." I got up and walked out of after replying.
"What? That I don't want you to end up like Finn? Of course you did."
"Yeah, boring like Finn. I don't think he's boring."
"You haven't met him the way I have!" I called, vamping up the stairs and opening the door.
(Kol POV)
We were eating breakfast now. Today would be the turning point in our relationship. This party would be the turning point in the fun things that we do. Tomorrow we could play match maker. That would be fun. They were too old to pay to look in inappropriate places. Ooh! We could play marbles! I scratched my chin, looking at them. Do they look up for marbles? I remember the day Marcel came home, ready to teach anyone who would pay attention how to play marbles.
"What is it Kol?" I looked up at Nik.
"I want four sets of marbles Niky."
"Are you asking for money? If you are, I can give it to you now."
"Yes, please, Nik." I smiled, feeling uneasy. He beamed at me and I calmed down. I love Nik when he's being nice. He pulled out $20.
"That should be enough." He always pulls out more than enough money for something when asked for money. Something I loved about my brother. I held out my hand and he placed it in my palm before passing out plates. "Time to eat. Enjoy. It's Gen's cooking."
(Kai POV)
We were in the living room again. Watching TV again. However, Kol had come back from the store. With four bags of marbles. One for each of us. Then he sat down and turned the TV onto one of the shows. I played with my marbles, especially the big one.
"So we can watch TV while we play Marbles. I learned from Marcellus how to play. Which was fun. Today, I will be your teacher."
"Learning to play marbles isn't hard Kol. Go get one of those marble roller coaster things and we can have a race."
"Those cost a lot of money. That I don't have."
"So Klaus and Finn and Elijah are rich but you and Rebekah are not?"
"Pretty much. The only money I do get is from the plays I conduct. I am a Director. I don't really have people to play shows though. You know, that's how I tried to teach Marcel about death. The ones who forgot their lines were killed." He laughed, grinning. "Those were good times. Until, of course, Elijah and Nik heard it was happening. I almost never heard the end of that. You know, if you want a play, I could happily set one up. Just decide on which play you want. I would personally go for Macbeth right now."
"Interesting. Maybe I'll take you up on your offer." I replied. I watched the TV. I had no interest in playing with the marbles right now. It's about boys and girls thinking about each other. It's always the quiet ones. I wonder if Damon would agree with that. Wrong! Girls love hearing about feelings. Just because you kiss a girl doesn't marry you. Pals before gals. I think we should watch Annoying Orange. Or MAD. Those shows are good.
The Painting? I think I've seen this one. Love it. Primal Scream. I laughed, I loved cloud guys scream. Pathetic scream, Gumball.
"I bet I could scream better! Screaming contest!"
"Later. After TV. And Marbels. He's beating something with a bat Kol." Painting is great. And she's breaking things. Interperitive Dance. Um... Reborn like a phoenix. Idiot. Though, I do like him. He sounds like a general from an army. Karate? Ooh! Let's do Hamlet! What about step 5? He cries and then falls asleep.
"Kai! Aren't you going to play with us?"
"I want the marble coaster thing." I didn't want to play with them.
"Fine. NIKY!" Klaus vamped into the room immediately.
"What is it Kol?"
"Can I have a 1,000,000 dollars?" He chuckled.
"What would you need that much money for?"
"Marble coaster." Nik's brow rose, he sighed and handed over the money.
"How rich are you?"
"Money isn't a problem. I've had many jobs and people for a long time."
"That's your reply?"
"Yes. Now I'll leave you be again. If you're going to have a screaming contest, do it outside, away from the Abbatoir. Kolinn and Geena are still here. Screaming will scare them."
"Fine with me Niky. Thank you for the money." Klaus left and Kol looked at us. "I'll be back in a bit."
"No. I want to go to the store after dinner. Isn't that okay with you? We could find people for your play."
"Ooh. Love the way you think Tyler."
"I vote Hamlet." I put in my two cents, whether or not it mattered.
"I don't know any plays, actually." Jeremy said.
"The only one I know is Romeo and Juliet."
"Well then while you two are at college, I'll show you more plays than you care to count."
"Where will you be Kai?" I looked up at them.
"I don't really know. I'm here by Klaus and Damon's choice, remember?"
"No need to be bitter. It's like having two dads or having parents. More like having two dads. You get two of everything! I'll make sure of it."
"How many marbles are you missing Kol? Their nothing like that."
"You're in denial."
"Wrong, The Nile is a river in Egypt and last I checked I was in Louisiana." He laughed, beaming.
"I love your humour Kai." He put on the next show. Total Drama Island.
I like that it always warns you not to try things in the episode. Izzy lost last time... damn it. I still like Chris. Is his last name Mcklaine? Or something like that? Tyler stopped what he was doing when he heard the music playing and Kol and Jeremy turned to watch the show. Woah. Go DJ. He actually knows how to bound. Oh! DJ! is actually eating grass. I once wanted to try that, my parents wouldn't let me. Of course that was before I was 13. I want a cheeseburger and chips for lunch. Sour cream and onion chips sounds good. I don't think Beth is going to help Heather. RUN DJ! Go DJ. I grinned as DJ bounded off. Now Duncan's in danger. Duncan and Courtney's antlers are stuck together. Is Cody getting kicked off? I'm right. He fell in the water.
"That was awesome! Now it's time for Cool Finn. Do you possibly want to go spy on Finn? I'm sure he and Sage are having their own fun."
"No I don't want to spy on a 1,000 and a 900 year old vampires. Besides, last I remember her, she was trying to kill Stefan." Jeremy nodded, agreeing with Tyler.
"Aw. That's mean. He cut that man's head off."
"Dude. Klaus has cut off twelve heads that we know of."
"Shut up!"
"Their kind of adorable. Like puppies."
"Kol. I want trail mix when we go to the store."
"We'll buy all kinds of mix! Baby and puppy? He kidnaps princesses. Marriage is a serious thing? Tell Elijah and Katerina."
"I like the puppy princess."
"Holding princesses in a jail cell is wrong?" I asked, smiling. "Thank you for telling me. Now I know."
"Their free!" Kol gasped at Slime Princess's words. "Hehehe. Love Jake and Finn. Do you think Davina would like Netflix and Hulu? Nik could pay for it. I heard she just stays at home while Tim goes to work. It's funny watching teens try to act like adults."
"You're one to talk. You're an adult who acts like a teenager."
"Jer, I am a teenager. I'm 16."
"What? But you're a 1000 years old!"
"Still 16." Jeremy scoffed at him, shaking his head in disbelief. Kol chuckled. "I'm both mate."
"Whatever you say Kol. It's harder to argue with you."
"Than it is to agree with me?"
"Duh."
"Good. I'm doing it right then." He fell over laughing. I shook my head as Tyler played another episode and proceeded to gather up the marbles, putting them back in the bags.
"It's just an act Jeremy. It's just easier to play around than it is to be serious, but I can be serious. I love being your friend. You know that there are limitations in effect right now. We're under Nik's eye. When we're in Mystic Falls, I'll be the one in charge."
"I know. Like I said. It's easier to deal with you this way. Sorry I killed you."
"No problem. It's not you who needs to apologize, Elena forced you to." Jeremy sighed.
"Sucks being one of the only humans around."
"Would you like me to turn you into one of us?" Kol asked, with hope in his voice.
"NO! I don't want to be a vampire." Kol slammed his fists on the ground.
"Then what do you want? Why do you complain about being human if you don't want to be a vampire?"
"I don't know. Sorry I confused you."
"I want apple pie!" Jeremy smiled.
"Originals always get what they want."
"It's a rule of nature, the wild, and everything else. Cool Finn is 12 and goes on adventures! ... I wonder if Finn did that?"
"What type of episode was that? Is Tree Trunks dead? Kol?"
"Nope! Next!
"Lunch is soon going to be ready!" Gen called.
"I want a cheeseburger! With sour cream and onion chips!" I called. Kol laughed.
"I want rice! With gravy!"
"Fish please!" Tyler looked at Jeremy. He shook his head.
"I'll take what I get."
"Okay boys. I'll make your order soon as possible." She went back into the kitchen, laughing. Her laugh was nice and friendly.
"They keep saying Finn the human boy. Is he the only human in this world?"
"Love it! More, Kol, more!"
"I love encores."
"Do you know how boring it is to stay in the house?"
"Yeah. But it's going to be worth it." Kol smiled. "Shh."
"Last episode."
"Woah! I love his singing!"
"Cool Finn remember? ...and he swallowed a computer."
"Their dancing."
"Kol! That's horrible!"
"I didn't write this episode! He he he he. Kidnappers and murderers. Funny. I'll never kidnap again." He was laughing.
"Lunch is ready."
(Klaus POV)
Lunch was over, it had been wonderful. I always enjoy eating with my family.
First off, I should call Damon. Then I would go see Kara. I smiled. Oh Kara. Though one of the things that kept repeating in my head was what Stefan said about her. That Kara looks like Dahlia. Dahlia reminded me of Mikael, who reminded me of Esther, who reminded me of my father. You know, none of them would approve of what I was doing. It was of no consequence though because they wouldn't know until it was too late.
I was now in a shop. The shop Kara was in. I could locate her without a problem. I'd learned her scent. Not as good as I knew my family's scent but good enough to track her down.
I began to look around, not for Kara, but around the items around the store. It was a antique shop. Maybe I could actually do some browsing while I'm getting Kara to fall in love with me?
I picked up an item. It was a clock. It didn't tick right, not keeping track of the real time, but it still ticked. It had a greenery around the clock and below there was a barn with two big yellow flowers on the roof. There was a chimney that was made of brick. The building was made of wood with big wood xes on the sides. The center of the building was a hole. Above the hole was a hen with a chick in a nest. On one side there were two big sunflowers, the yellow flowers were sunflowers, with big leaves. Below that was a barrel of apples that were losing their apple red colour. Beside the bucket was an apple that had a bite taken from it and a shovel. The other side of the barn had a lantern with three sunflowers poking out. There were two cows surrounded by a fence. Beside the fence, in the floor of the clock, was a spilt bucket of milk that ran in river formation down and ended, because the clock ended there. Right on the edge of the clock was two apples. One with a bite missing, and the other apple was whole.
When I flipped it to look at the back, I heard Kara speak.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? Here's your card back. I have not used it." I looked at her. I took my card back, kissing her hand.
"Thank you Kara, for giving the card back. I'm sorry it turned out to be unuseful."
"It was not 'unuseful'. I just decided not to use it. It could have been useful, I decided not to."
"Hm. Is it because you don't like me or is it because you wanted to be noble?"
"Neither. I just prefer to use my own money to buy things I need."
"What about things you want? There's a difference between want and need Kara."
"Exactly. I will not allow myself to be greedy. I will stop wasting your time now." She turned to leave. I quickly grabbed her hand.
"No! Please don't leave. I want to prove myself to you." She looked at me, I was looking at her with all the honesty I had. It was true, I wanted to prove myself to her... but not for the reason I'm trying to play off.
"I have to get back to my cafe... It was... nice... talking to you Klaus." I smiled.
"Does that mean you'll give me a chance?" She smiled.
"I don't hate you." She took her hand back and left the shop.
"I'll take that as a yes." I beamed, happy I'd succeeded. Now to do some shopping. I took the clock with me.
(Jeremy POV)
"So now we're done at the store, we have five different marble coasters and three of each. Because we're awesome. Now who wants to drop the first marble?" Kol smiled.
"Kai, he's the one who wanted it. First we have to set it up." Kol smiled.
"Tyler, that means you and me. We can set it up in no time! It means using your hybrid self." He sing songed. I shook my head as Tyler began to build and Kol used his speed to get it built. "The good thing about these things, just about everything works."
They built the coasters and then gave Kai a small marble. He dropped the marble in the funnel and it rolled around and around and finally dropped into the coaster.
We watched it go all the way to the floor before we all picked a marble and let it roll through one coaster. Eventually Kol was dropping a marble in each of them until he finally made it where there was more than one marble go through the same course, for each of them.
"Okay, you wanna play marbles again? Wish I had a witch. Ooh! Get Davina!"
"No."
"Fine." Kol growled, dropping onto the couch. "Who wants to do something else?"
So we found something else to do and then Klaus walked into the room.
"How are you doing?"
"Fine."
"I'm bored."
"If you behave today, then I'll let you out alone to which ever close by city you choose. I'm sure there are plenty of things to do."
"Thanks Nik."
"Carry on then." He walked out. "OH! And dinner will be ready in about 3 minutes." I scoffed at him.
"Really?" Kol groaned. "Let's go." He smiled. "We have some where to go."
(Tyler POV)
I couldn't wait for dinner to be over. I really really couldn't wait to go to the party. I've been wanting to do this since I've watched Club Life in theatres and now was my chance. Besides, I was telling the truth. Parties are practically the life of the city.
The problem is that for some stupid reason, he didn't like their parties. Biting Lily, him not liking I could understand. There was nothing wrong with the parties though! Marcel does it all the time! Just because he doesn't like something, doesn't mean I'm going to let it keep me from having the fun I deserve. That they deserve. So I got Marcel to agree to take us, which I got help from Kol. I appreciate it.
I was eating fish, something I loved eating. It was my favourite. They'd gotten their order too. Genevieve was nice. I like her.
"So... Elijah. I am sorry for what I said about Elena. Let me call Damon and Elena. I'll have a civil conversation with them, you can watch just to make sure I am telling the truth." Uncle Elijah considered what he said.
"Do you really believe you could have a civil conversation, a conversation with no aggression and no threats, with Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert?"
"Yes, I believe I can have a civil conversation with Damon Salvatore and Elena Petrova. It's Petrova Elijah."
"Very well, after dinner you will call them."
"Fine. I promise you it will go better than the conversations I had with your ex-girlfriend Celeste Dubois and your fiancé Katerina Petrova." He smiled. "And Nadia."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing." He smiled.
"Do you fight with Nadia?"
"No I don't Elijah. Nadia is a child."
"That did not stop you from killing Tunde's children or threatening Monique."
"Who is consequently dead for her actions against me." He wanted to say more, but all he did was smirk. I finished my dinner and headed off.
(Damon POV)
We were sitting in the living room, done with dinner.
"I am never doing that again. It was horrible."
"At least we found suitable members Damon. Do you have any idea on who should be the head of the council?"
"Yeah, me. Or Ric. Or Enzo. Lily, you're out of your mind with this plan of yours."
"I'd rather not leave Mystic Falls."
"You won't be. I promise. This is where we live. Having no mayor won't change that. No one has noticed for what? A year now? We still throw those Founder's parties."
"I am retiring to my chambers. Thank you, Damon, for helping me. As well as you Elena." She walked upstairs and went into her room.
I leaned back into the couch, sighing with relief. I sent Enzo a text to show up at the house tomorrow. I have no idea what we're doing tomorrow and I would probably need back up.
I gave you an ending, up next is the party. This way if you don't want to read the rest, you don't have to. Warning, a few bad ('bad'?) words here. Thank you for reading. =)
We were walking into the hide out, the one Marcel staid at to 'hide'. The one where he threw all of his parties. You could hear music coming from inside the building. I already wanted to party. I vamped inside to see vampires all over the place, all dancing to the music or having sex against the walls. Some were playing cards and there were even some people, vampire or human, dancing on poles. I love this party! I smiled at my friends before Tyler vamped in beside me.
"Do you have a little thing called permission?" A vampire asked me, joking apparently because when he saw Marcel, he moved over.
"Geoferry here is one of our most important vampires right now. He's the look out."
"Just wait a minute before you go off, you guys have to see my friends Thierry, Diego, and Josh. Their around here some where. Marcel! Get them over here!" Tyler smiled at him, and Marcel looked around and in a minute's time they were in front of us.
"Kai, Diego Thierry and Josh. Diego, Thierry and Josh? This is Kai Parker. He's from Myst-"
"Wrong- Portland, Oregon."
"Well this is Jeremy. He is from Mystic Falls. You guys already know Kol Mikaelson. There you go Tyler." Marcel vamped off, away from us.
"Alright everybody, this shit's illegal. It's better that way. No one will find our bodies for moths. It's the perfect crime." They stared at me. I shook my head. I would have hoped they'd gotten my reference. "Well if that's all you wanted Tyler... I think I'm off!" I vamped into the middle of the party and went to find the party confections.
(Jeremy POV)
I found my way through the party, looking at people. They all stared at me as if I were food... I think they might all be vampires. A few didn't look at me like that though. So I stuck with them. They offered me drink, and I took it. I didn't want to be a buzz kill to them or myself.
"What's your name?"
"Jeremy." I replied, drinking as the music changed song.
"Charlotte McDougal." It's a girl... I looked at her.
"Sorry, I have a girlfriend." Her eye brows rose and she left my side, away from this crowd. I didn't care. I would be faithful to Bonnie. I could call her, it's summer. With another sip, I decided I'd do it later. For now, I'd dance while trying not to spill my drink.
I found some people I could hang around with though. All of them men. They went to a table, handing out shot glasses. I gladly took one, happy to play a game. We had bourbon poured into our glasses as they played a game called one for me, one for you. We kept going until the song was over and then we had something stronger poured into the glasses. What I noticed, or think I noticed, was that there were a few vampires stalking around the table as the 'bar tender' kept pouring shots.
(Kai POV)
I was playing cards with some other people. I was in fourth place right now. I intended to be in first place. I was capable of it. I've played this poker game before.
There were drinks and the vampires around us were waiting for the moment when we were too intoxicated to notice what was happening. I suppose it was either a tactic taught by Klaus Mikaelson or Marcellus Mikaelson. Lulling into comfort and then feed. I refused to be fed on so I wasn't drinking. Another reason I hate Damon. He took my power from me and I most likely was not getting it back.
The humans were obviously invited here for a different type of drink. I think it's Tyler Mikaelson who doesn't like drinking blood, so Marcellus Mikaelson did partake in this weird hunting activity.
The people around me were getting drunk. After every loss they would take a shot of whatever was in the glasses. Except me. I wasn't drinking. Not that I didn't want to, it was that I knew better than to drink in this type of situation. It would be idiotic to do so. I hope Jeremy knew that, if he didn't, it wasn't like I would help him.
Everyone took a shot again as the turn ended in six losses and one win. I was now in second place. I was going to win this game and then move on.
(Tyler POV)
I was hanging out with the vampires, something I found funny was that some of them gave me a wide berth from fear I might bite them... I must remember I am a Hybrid of werewolf and vampire even though it's mostly vampires I hang out with.
The rest of them were walking close to me. I noticed they were all either drinking alcoholic drinks or blood. I wanted the alcohol. I didn't want to feed on any of these human people.
I danced with quite a few girls, and Koi about ten times over. I just couldn't resist. She was beautiful and the best thing about it was she wasn't interested in making it into a relationship. Just pure blooded fun. No pun inteneded. Maybe.
I grabbed two cups of whiskey, put in some ice cubes and blended each of them, trying something I used to do with my friends back in Mystic Falls. It was horrible at first, it was a house party. I took the two cups and gave one to Koi. She smiled.
"What do you call this?"
"Whiskey Ice? I don't know, I never gave it a name. Just something I used to do." I smiled at her and she kissed me, biting my lip as she did so, I chuckled, kissing her back. She backed off, taking a sip of the drink.
(Klaus POV)
"Elijah! I wish for once that you would not be a Guardian Angel to Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert! It seems that is all you want out of life right now. Where is my guardian angel? Hm?" I'd succeeded in being civil. He'd found out... that I still held a bit of a grudge against Damon Salvatore. They have never paid for what they've done to me. Especially Elena Gilbert has not been punished. Jeremy has, but not Elena who was the real culprit of Kol's murder. "You guard them against me for SPORT!" I glared at him. He was rubbing his forehead. Meaning his patience was wearing thin with 'dealing' with me. Good, sooner or later he'd break and just let me have my way. Just like he used to.
"Niklaus, why can you not let go of these petty grudges against them?"
"Excuse me for caring for our brother then, Elijah."
"Niklaus! I care for our siblings just as much as you do." He was offended. I leaned into his ear.
"You hypocrite." I whispered. "You claim no one hurts our family and gets away with it but you lie. Sure you killed Agnes, sure you have killed Celeste for the final time, but the one person who has actually harmed us? You allow them to live... despite their crime of killing one of our own." I leaned away from him, to see how he dealt with that.
"You know as well as I that Katerina killed Jeremy on that forsaken island, that broke Elena until she flipped her switch on her emotions, just as you once did."
"Not for Kol, no. I did not turn my emotions off brother, I wanted to see what it felt like, besides that I was bored. I thought of it as a game. Now Jeremy might have been killed, but we have had this conversation before Elijah. Silas killed Jeremy, not Katerina. Do not take for granted the only time I have ever stood up for your girlfriend, your fiance. I hate her, yes, but not as much as I do Elena. Katerina never did what Elena did. Besides, did I not punish Katerina for what she did? I killed her parents, I killed her family. I failed to remember to kill Nadia, but that is of no consequence to me." I raised my hand, raising a finger, for one more word. "Elena says she doesn't want to be compared to Katerina? She doesn't have to be. She's worse than Katerina ever was. I should have killed her when I had the chance." I walked out of the room, leaving Elijah speechless. However, God knows Elijah will give me an earful for that. He always does.
I walked into the room where they were sleeping right now. However, they weren't in bed. I searched the house and could not find them. I sat in a chair, a glass of blood in my hand. I had two options. I could go look for them now and drag them to the bed, though that would make me exactly like the other boring parents... or I could wait until midnight. I looked at the clock. That would give them two hours to get home, they might be at the movies. That would give them time to finish whatever they were doing and then, and only then, would I go search for them.
So... what to do, what to do. I could work on solving a problem that the stupid... council?... had. OR I could go feed, and drag my rippah along... which should I go with? As King, I needed to spend time on everything. Problems, my friends, my family, my foes, and myself. Very hard to dish out time to each of them.
I've an idea. I set down the glass very carefully, it still had some blood left, but I'm sure I could drink it later. Or someone would find it and drink it... Stefan. I smiled to myself as I stood and went to find Stefan. I could spend time with him and fix all their problems.
(Jeremy POV)
I was drinking with Tyler now. I don't know how that happened but it did. Tyler was offering me drinks with something that was coloured a dark yellow red. It tasted weird but he was laughing, he couldn't stop and soon I was laughing with him. At what? I don't know. I handed him a cup of something and he quickly drank it, offering me a drink as well.
"You two are wasted." I looked up. My vision was a bit blurry. Hm. I held out my hand to try and find his face. I think it's Marcel.
"None sense Marcul."
"Drunk." I grabbed his shoulder.
"I swear to drunk we're not." He shook his fuzzy head. I dropped my head, chuckling. That just seemed so weird. I couldn't stop laughing. I didn't like it. "Tyler, quick! Hahaha. Say something. Hahaha. That's not entirely funny. Hahaha. Say something turrible." I chuckled again.
"My- my dad. He- He would be like- like" He laughed. "I can't do it. My-Dad-would-be-like-'You drunk bastard'" I looked at him, still laughing.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Tyler shrugged his shoulders.
"You know what? Let's blow this joint. I'm bored!"
"Then why you still laughin?"
"Josette Laughlin. Is that Kai's twit-twin sister?"
"She's not a twit. You are."
"Am not!" He wobbled off and I followed him. We had to find... who did we have to find again? Josette Laughlin? No, we have to find... KOL! I looked around. I couldn't see him. What's he wearing again?
"KOL!" Someone vamped up to me. He was smiling stupidly while he hummed, without end. I chuckled once more. I was done laughing. I needed to find something else that was funny. Kol chuckled.
"You yelled? Dance with me Jeremy!" Kol grabbed my hand, placing one on my hip... something's not right here. I moved away from him.
"Not ur dayte."
"We should... we should go home fore Mikael notices." I gasped. Ah SHIT! Mikael! I nodded vigourusly.
"Fend Tyler and... Kai. Mala..kai...Malachai."
"We did not come here with...five different people. It's Tyler and Malachai. Plus Marcel. If Mikael finds us we are dead. Happened to Nik once actually."
"What did?" I asked as he grabbed my wrist, looking for the others.
"Found by Mikael at a party... oh no, that's never happened. I think I see Tyler, over there by the... blood punch bowl. Now find Kai." I chuckled.
"Can't see shit Kol."
"Awww mannn. Ooh! Kai's over there with Marcel." He walked us to Tyler and grabbed him as well. However, then he let go and walked off. Tyler tilted his head.
"What's his problem?" Marcel came up to us with Kai.
"You guys should get out of here, now! I heard from a friend that they spotted Klaus coming, not to mention the cops. Where the hell is Kol?!" He looked around and spotted something. I looked too. It was Kol, feeding on a girl. I shook my head. Oh Kol, biting people is wrong. Wait, he's feeding. Kol walked back over and smiled.
"Ready to leave now."
I covered my face as the lights came on, and the music stopped. The light was too bright. Then I heard lots of people call out. Marcel vamped off and so did Tyler and Kol. Kai ran in one direction and I staid where I was before running... some where. I bumped into someone. I looked up to see who but my vision was too blurry. Oops. Mikael's going to kill me.
(Kol POV)
I ran for my life, not caring where I went. I needed to get out before Mikael found me. It was Mikael I was running from wasn't it? Think the bayou would be safe? That's where I ran toward but the next second, I ran into something. I gasped in fear, only to notice it was Nik. I smiled in relief, grabbing his legs, hugging him.
"Oh thank God it's you! I thought that for sure I'd be caught by Mikael."
"Kol, Mikael is in Norway. Or at least he's supposed to be. Not to say you aren't in trouble Kol." I hugged him, as I stood.
"Please don't let me be hurt Nik. I don't want to be in trouble and right now I'm too high to know what's going on. At least you're not a cop."
"I hate the cops Kol. I don't mean danger trouble. If you're too 'high' to understand, I'll fix it." He vamped me back into the building and beside Kai and Jeremy. "Now wait while I track down Marcellus and Tyler. Wait here, Kol." He made me sit beside Kai and Jeremy. I smiled, humming happily. I was with Nik, I was safe.
(Tyler POV)
I was at the bayou now, I was hiding in the den with Kevin. He was alert as he waited for something that wasn't 'one of us' to come into the den. I was hiding in his bed. Saricantá was up too. She was Beta? Probably.
"Don't worry Tyler, I'll protect you with my life. You're one of us, you're our pal, you're our friend. You're a wolf like us. A pack stays together no matter what. You got me?" I nodded from under the covers. "And we defend against any enemy." I hiccupped and staid silent, falling asleep. Though I felt myself moving and I startled, only to smell Daddy. So I staid still, laying my head on his chest and felt my eyes close heavily.
"Don't worry Ty Ty, you can take a nap when we get home. All of you can." He carried me away and I fell asleep, feeling a bit hungry now.
(Kai POV)
I'd ran for a door but I'd been caught right outside the door and now I was sitting on the couch with Jeremy and Kol. Marcel was sitting in a chair and now Klaus was bringing Tyler. I felt... disappointment. About being caught or disappointing Klaus, I had no clue. All I wanted was for that feeling to go away.
Klaus sat Tyler in a chair and then looked at all of us. Tyler yawned, slouching, going to sleep. He looked over as cops came in. They talked and Klaus compelled them to go away and never come back to this address. Klaus left the building and came back in five minutes with blood bags, soda, cups, bread, cheese, and salami. I'm confused. Is he not supposed to be angry at us? Instead he was making sandwiches. And pouring out drinks, not alcoholic of course, it was blood and soda. He had also brought plates. He looked at our confused faces. He smiled.
"It's not fair to punish you when you have no idea what's going on. You'll eat and then you will take a nap on the couch. At home. We have plenty of those. After that then, yes, you will be punished. On the plus side, it will not be me disciplining you. It will be Elijah."
"YAY! I love Elijah!" Kol said, smiling. Klaus only smiled, with a smug look on his face.
"Course you do Kol. Sure he loves you too." Kol nodded, grabbing for a sandwich. "Wait. Kol." He finished making sandwiches, having used all the bread to make us all sandwiches, and passed out the plates. Tyler's eyes popped open and he grabbed a sandwich hungrily.
(Klaus POV)
With them fed and quenched, and not as intoxicated as they'd been, I was driving them home. I'd been smart to bring my van. I had Stefan in the car too. I wonder if Lijah would be fine dealing with them. I wasn't in the mood. I'd lecture them, definitely. When they woke up. Why in the hell did I decide to wait until midnight? Damn me.
I drove home, and led them inside, and one to a couch. Stefan went to bed and I sat in my room, watching whatever was on TV, not actually paying attention to anything that was said or what was going on. I would punish Marcel, that was it. Him I could deal with and he was not in the 'package' of kids. Damon and his stupidity. That was what he had decided to call them... remind me why I shouldn't rip out his tongue. I find that it would be funny. The others? Not so much.
I heard Marcel wake up. I sighed. Now the rest would be waking up wouldn't they? I went downstairs and stared at him. He gulped, his eyes having met mine, and he looked at the floor, standing up and coming to my side. I smiled, gently. I walked out of the room and into a different one, one Marcel was now allowed in now that he was a vampire. There weren't many forbidden rooms, but there were a few. So that I may hide things. Like where I get my poison from. I remember poisoning Davina. I've come so far with her from that time.
"Marcellus, what happened the last time you snuck Tyler into a party?"
"Dad, he begged me." I smiled.
"Is that your excuse?"
"No! I don't have any good excuse Dad."
"Then why did you do it? If it was peer pressure, you could have come to me with it immediately."
"And then I'd be the worst brother of all time."
"Wrong, you'd be like Finn. But in this case, being Finn would be good. Do you even know why I hate these parties? Why I don't approve of you or Tyler going to these parties?"
"No Dad. I don't know. If you told me, I'm sure I could change the party so that Tyler could come to at least one a month?" I rose a brow in surprise. He would actually do that?
"You would do that? For your brother?"
"Yeah, anything for him to be able to come to one." I sat down in a chair, looking at him.
"The reason I hate these parties is because of the emotionless sex, the blatant drinking of blood and then giving blood. The reason- don't get upset because yes I do understand why you do it- is because I don't want Tyler to start fitting in with that terrible crowd of vampires. It's also the same reason I don't want Kai or Jeremy to attend those parties. Depending on if they've been fed on, and fed vampire blood, I'm going to have to keep them under careful supervision. Since I am so lenient, it will have to be Elijah or Finn. Do you know how pissed Damon would be if I sent Jeremy home a vampire?"
"No sir."
"Don't 'sir' me. I hate that respectful name coming from you. I don't want Tyler to try making vampires. He's too young, in my opinion, for that. Because making a new vampire creates a new vampire, a baby vampire that has to be taught how to feed, to hunt, to control their power. Tyler's not ready for that. He's got a short temper, not compared to me, but he's still a hybrid. A hybrid's emotions usually fly all over the place. He's been one for a while. That's the only reason he doesn't snap at every little thing that pisses him off. Did you know that?"
"No Dad."
"I of all people know what it's like making new vampires. I've made new vampires before I've ever made you. Back to the problem with taking Tyler to one of those parties. Sure he might not have to teach the vampire but the vampire would end up dead. Either because it made Tyler too angry and thus bitten, or it would die from being staked because it'd been caught, or maybe it would die because it went into werewolf territory. Do you see my point?"
"Yes Dad. I see your point but my guys would take care of teaching the vampire if it was really needed. We look out for our guys." I nodded.
"Hmm. Do you see my problem with taking Kai and Jeremy?"
"Yes Dad. You don't want them to become vampires."
"OR fed on. They should never know what it is like. Of course, Jeremy has already been fed on, but Kai? Not that I know of. Understood?" He almost sighed but nodded his head.
"Yeah, I get it Dad."
"So... should you or should you not have taken them to that party?"
"No, I should not have taken them to the party. Thank you for telling me why you don't like my parties." I nodded. He looked at the floor. I sat up straight.
(Marcel POV)
"Marcellus, you know what is coming. Bare your bottom and come over here. Lay on my lap. I dare say you already know what is to come." I knew this was coming, but it was always such a dreading moment. I hated when he did this. "MARCEL!" I vamped over to his side, bared myself, and laid over his lap. He smacked me hard once before he spoke. "That is for not doing as I said sooner." He began the spanking, since he'd lectured me already, he didn't say anything.
I jumped at the first one. I forgot how painful it could be, apparently. I gasped at the tenth. I tried to calm myself, even though it was impossible!, as he contiued. I started kicking eventually as I felt the dam of tears approach. I invoulentarily whined as the smacks lowered onto my thighs. Isn't this painful enough? I yelped in pain as the smacks got harder. I began to cry after a few minutes and then again he spoke.
"Why should you not take Kai, Jeremy, and Tyler to a party like that?" I grimaced, in pain and shame.
"Because-OW! Because Jeremy and Kai could become vampires and OW! And Damon wouldn't be happy if they came back to him as vampires. OW! Tyler shouldn't go to parties like mine because OW! Because he could end up creating a new vampire." I felt myself taking shuddering breaths. I stopped kicking, it wouldn't help me anyway.
"Good boy. Now possibly you could answer why you should not be going behind my back to do something? Like this party?"
"Because it's disobedient and disrespectful." I sobbed, the dam breaking. He stopped spanking me and began to rub my back. He began to whisper to me.
"Good boy Marc. Good boy. You answered correctly. You answered every question correctly. That's a good boy." He righted my clothes, a pathetic whimper came from me, and sat me on his lap. I sobbed into his chest, truly remorseful.
"Daddy, I'm sorry I disobeyed you." He dropped his head on mine, sighing happily.
"I know Marcelly. It's okay. You have already been forgiven. I have not even been angry at you. Usually I am not. I could never be angry at my children. I love you. I love you dearly Marcellus. Never forget that." I nodded, I raised my head to give him a kiss on the cheek. He returned it. "You may go to bed now." I nodded. I stood up and walked to my room, dressing for bed.
(Klaus POV)
Time to wake up Elijah, since the others are awake. I quietly opened his door, smiling to myself. I knew how to wake him up. I wanted to do it the fun way. That... was horrible. But Marcellus needed it. I stalked over to the bed. He wasn't budging. I smiled, before pouncing on the bed. He woke up immediately.
"Niklaus?" He mumbled. "What is it?" I chuckled. I'd already scolded the teens. So now all I needed to do was get Elijah. He looked at me, yawning away the rest of his sleep. "Niklaus what do you need?"
"Before I tell you, word of warning, you have to treat Kai kindly. You need to talk his emotions out with him, or at least the emotions of how he should be feeling. Follow me. Kol can tell you. I don't need to do anything. Sorry for our earlier conversation."
"It's okay Niklaus." He got up, dressed, and followed me downstairs and the kid's faces blanched at the sight of him. Elijah looked at me out of his peripheral vision. "What's going on Niklaus?"
"Well Kol? Kai? Tyler? Jeremy? Have an answer for Elijah?" They opened their mouths and then they closed their mouths. Kol spoke up.
"Nik thinks we were naughty." He chuckled. I glared at him. "That is... we snuck out of the house?" I motioned for him to continue. He looked at the floor. "And we kind of got drunk and/or high at the party and then the cops came and Nik had to compel them away and then he gave us sandwiches and then he let us nap and now he wants you... to..." Elijah looked at me. Kol whined, sighing.
"And you want me to discipline them?" I smiled, looking at him.
"Is it that obvious?" He gave me one of those stern glares, if only a small one. I dropped my smug smile for a sheepish one. "Yes Elijah. That is what I want, will you do it or will you not do it?" I narrowed my eyes, nodding my head very seriously. "It's okay if you don't want to." Then I grinned at him. He was smiling slightly at my joke, which only made me smile wider.
"No fair! You guys are having a laugh at our... expense." Kol whined. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Niklaus! Be more reasonable. Kol has a point. You and I both know just as well as they do how painful it is for someone to have fun at your expense." I smiled at him.
"You mean like... Elena?" I drew out her name for emphasis. He glared at me.
"Niklaus, if you want me to deal with them and not you as well I suggest you go to sleep now." I glared at him, but did as I was told. Not even bothering to attack Katerina when she walked right by me with too much arragance for my liking. I'd pay her back later. That's what happens when you bring in your older brother. I smiled, laughing at myself. I should have known. At least I didn't take Finn of all people to punish them. I got myself dressed for bed and got in, Stefan vamped in, turning on the TV. I smiled at him.
"Told off by Elijah recently?" I playfully glared at him and threw a pillow at him. "Pillow fight!"
(Kol POV)
"So care to tell me the whole story?" I looked at them. I didn't want to. I spoke up for Nik. Tyler spoke up.
"I got Marcel to take us to the party."
"You pressured your brother into taking you to a party you knew your father didn't agree with you going to?" Damn Elijah! He always simplifies things. Nik sometimes does the same though. Tyler frowned.
"No I talked him into it."
"Did he want to take you?"
"Uh- um... no?"
"Did he or did he not want to take you to the party?"
"He didn't want to take me to the party. I talked him into it."
"He didn't want to, you pressured him into it. But to even do that, you would have needed help. Who helped Tyler pressure Marcel into taking each of you to that party?" I rose my hand. "I should have guessed. So what happened at this party? Kol, you go first." I glared at him.
"Why do I have to go first?" When Elijah gave me a stern look, I obeyed. "I drank, fed, played cards, and went to the party. I had fun at least."
"Yes, I wonder if the fun will be worth it. When you were playing cards were you gambling Kol?" I frowned, confused.
"Why would you ask me if I was gambling?"
"Because, Kol, it is against the law." I scoffed at that, and then started laughing. He gave me one of those stern glares and I continued to laugh. "Kol, do you think this is funny?" I stopped at that. Though I did chuckle a few times before frowning.
"Sorry Lijah."
"So were you gambling?" I frowned, whining. DAMN! I'm dealing with Elijah! He's stricter than Nik. I'm so screwed!
"No, Eli, I wasn't gambling. I promise it was just a few tokens, no real money."
"Is that all that you did Kol?"
"I ran from Mikael. I give my word that's all I did." Since I wasn't Nik, my word actually meant something.
"Kol, Mikael is in Norway with Esther, Dahlia, and Freya."
"Hm. Must of been Nik I was running from then. My bad."
"Your bad indeed." Elijah looked at Kai. "What did you do at this party?" He smiled.
"I didn't drink, if that's what you're asking."
"Is there anything you might have done? Like gambling? Fighting?"
"Poker. No gambling. I quite agree, gambling is against the law."
"Is that all you did?"
"I might have also ran, though I must admit, Marcel knew that Klaus was coming and warned us to run. So it's not really our fault, is it?" He was trying to make a point.
"Marcel might have known that Niklaus was coming, but he did not compel you to run did he?"
"I really have no idea, it happened too fast."
"Marcel cannot compel Tyler or Kol. I would have to ask Marcel if he compelled you to run. Where is he?"
"Probably in bed. Klaus took him. Oh, did he not tell you? I'm sure your problem just became him."
"Kai, I suggest you stop with this attitude of yours." Kai looked away from Elijah, smiling, and hummed. "Tyler, what did you do at this party?" Tyler smiled.
"Party." He chuckled.
"Oh, we all did." Kai replied, smiling.
"Well I fed, played cards, drank, smoke, and-..."
"Tyler." Elijah was warning him, Tyler should know better than to make it look like you shut up. It should have seemed like the end. I can't help.
"I kind of... played with Koi." Elijah was confused.
"What do you mean, played with Koi? The vampire?"
"We kissed and that was it."
"Are you sure?"
"... I also ran. Sorry Uncle Elijah. But I ran from the cops." Elijah's brow rose.
"The cops came to the party?"
"Yeah, but Daddy compelled them away."
"So he did." Wonder if Nik's in trouble now... "Jeremy? What did you do?" This was coming to an end... damn.
"I drank, ran, and that was it... that I remember."
"You drank until you lost your memory of what you did?"
"Yeah." He frowned, apologetically. I licked my lip, anxious about what was going to happen next. Elijah looked at all of us and then walked away, taking off his suit jacket.
"Lijah? Did you sleep at all?"
"Yes, Kol, I did but our brother Niklaus thought to wake me up to deal with you. So I will do as he asked." I looked at the floor. Nik knows I hate it when Eli does this. He sat down "Kol, please come here." I groaned. "The rest of you will please find a corner to stand in while you wait." I looked at them as they moved to a corner, leaving me standing alone.
"Eli, I'm sorry. Please don't do this."
"Kol, come here." I sighed, defeated, and walked over to him. He bared me and laid me over his lap. I whined.
"Lijah! Please." He began to rub my back, trying to calm me down. I calmed down, admitting this was going to happen. He rubbed my back a bit more before starting the punishment. I yelped, jerking. "OW! That hurts Elijah!"
"It is supposed to hurt Kol. I'm disappointed in you. You knew that Niklaus would not want Marcellus, Tyler, Malachai, or Jeremy going to the party, but you helped Tyler talk Marcellus into it. You took advantage of the fact that you know Marcellus wants to bond with Tyler. You took advantage of your nephew, knowing that he likes his parties and wants Tyler to be able to enjoy the parties like he does, despite what Niklaus might say about it. Does it sound okay to you to take advantage of the ones you love?" I whined.
"Noooo." I wriggled, trying to get off his lap and all he did was wrap an arm around my waist. "Eliiii." I whined again. "Stoooop. I'm soorrry." It just hurt so much! I felt like my bottom was on fire!
"Are you are sorry you got caught or are you sorry for taking advantage of your oldest nephew?"
"Both?" I jumped at the smacks that landed on my sit spots. "OWCH! STOP ELIJAH! It hurts!"
"Your answer was supposed to be taking advantage of your oldest nephew."
"Niky does it all the time." He began to smack me on my thighs. I felt tears prick my eyes. "LIJAH! Oooow." I began to cry, feeling shame rise up in my chest as he continued to lecture me. "I'm sorry Lijah. I'm sorry. Please Eli. I'm so soo sorry." I took a shuddering breath before I began to sob. I kicked, trying to get off his lap. "Eli... please, I'm begging you." I sobbed.
"Kol, tell me what you did that was wrong and tell me why it was wrong."
"Noooo. YOWCH! Fine, fine, fine. Ow!" I gave another sob before answering. "I'll tell you Eli. I'll tell you. I-I-I drank, f-f-fed, played c-c-cards, we-we-went to the party, ta-talked Marcel into ta-taking us to the party, and ra-ra-ran from Niky." I'd stopped kicking while I was answering his question.
"Kol? Why was it wrong? Feeding and drinking are not wrong in your case Kol, you are a vampire, but thank you for including it anyway."
"Be-be-because... it's disobedient?"
"Yes, it was disobedient. Why do we make rules in this family?" I whined.
"To keep us safe."
"Yes. To keep us safe." He stopped spanking me. I knew he'd be ready to continue if he needed to though because his hand was staying on my bottom, to which I whimpered. I didn't want anymore. I was truly sorry. "Was the fun worth it?" I shook my head vigorously.
"No, no, no. No it wasn't worth it. Promise."
"Do you think it funny now?" I shook my head again, whining.
"Nooooo!" He ruffled my hair, he was smiling.
"Good boy Kol." I smiled, even though tears were still falling down my face. He sat me up in his lap and tried to calm me down as he rubbed my back, whispering to me. I stopped crying sooner than I thought I would. "Kol, would you please trade places with Malachai?" I looked at him. I nodded. He wanted me to stand in the corner.
(Kai POV)
I was trading places with Kol. "Malachai, please come here." I walked over and he bared me, laying me across his lap... shit? I know what the others were thinking. I felt my eyes widen at the first smack. I heard a gasp come out of my mouth but that was it. It hurt. Like Damon's.
"Malachai, I am proud you didn't drink or most of what the others did. I am glad you didn't gamble, and that you know that it is against the law. However, you did run, maybe of your free will or maybe not, and that little attitude of yours." Little attitude. I found myself thinking bitter. It wasn't an 'attitude', I was just telling the truth and poking fun at him. Because his brother Klaus made a problem for him. Though I felt... something for what Klaus told me earlier, that he'd be talking to me tomorrow about this. Before breakfast. I suppose that is what you are supposed to feel about a spanking? The feeling Damon said I would learn to feel toward the words 'discipline'? "Malachai are you even listening to me?"
"Yes, I am feeling regretful for what I have done. I am sorry that... ow. That hurts. Hm. As I was saying, I am sorry for my behaviour and I appreciate you being proud of me for something." That was true. Will he take that? I wasn't kicking or anything.
"It makes you happy to know I am proud of you?"
"Yes, and sad that you are disappointed in me for my behaviour. I will try for better behaviour in the future."
"Well then the lecture part is over." I sighed.
"I thought you would be proud of me for answering correctly." He rubbed my back a bit.
"Malachai, I am proud of you for that. So what did you do wrong and why is it wrong?"
"What I did-owch. Wrong was I ran, had an attitude during our lecture, and I played poker, even if it wasn't with real money. It is wrong to even play 'pretend' poker because it could become a habit in the future and I might actually offer up money in games. Running was wrong because it was disobedient and I should have known better, whether or not I was compelled was not important right now, and it was rude. My attitude was wrong because it was arrogant, something that others don't usually like in people, and it was disobedient, even if you didn't tell me not to have an attitude." He stopped the punishment and rubbed my back. I smiled. I won. Damon would have kept going... Klaus I have no idea what he would do. They all have their own way of doing this. That much was obvious. I could be doing such better things right now.
I was let up and he comforted me, even though there was no need. That was... nice... kind of him. It made me feel liked, like he cared about me. Which is strange, he just met- no this is just his first time doing this. After a few minutes, he stood me up, fixing my clothes. "Ow."
"Kai, please take Tyler's place." I walked over to Tyler.
(Tyler POV)
"Tyler, please come here." I walked over, dreading what was going to happen. Uncle Elijah's done this at least three other times. The only ones who'd not done this to me was Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Finn. I walked over to Uncle Elijah. He bared me and laid me across his lap.
"What did I do that was so bad?" He gave me a smack to my sit spot.
"Tyler, out of the whole lot, you were one of the most disobedient. Do not ask me what you did that was so wrong. Or would you rather I used my belt?" I gasped, whimpering.
"No, thank you. I'm fine with this." I remember Daddy using the belt on me, not a pleasureful experience. AT ALL. I wriggled, a little unsure of myself. He wrapped an arm around my waist. He began to spank me on my bottom. I yelped, squirming to get away.
"I am very disappointed in you Tyler Mikaelson. You snuck off to a party, pressured Marcellus into taking you, played cards, you ran from your father, you drank and you smoked, and you also played who knows what with the vampire Koi. What is the full story on that Tyler?" I whined.
"I can't tell you! You'll be angry! You'll be pissed! Please don't make me."
"Did you have sex with her?" He asked. I gulped. Daddy's going to kill me! I struggled harder.
"Please don't tell Daddy. Please! I beg of you." He smacked my undercurve, I stilled before struggling again.
"You lied to me Tyler. You hurt my trust." I felt guilt immediately.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I'm sorry, please don't stop trusting me. I'm sorry, sooo sorrrieee." I began to cry, it was too much to hold in. Trust was hard to earn back from people, Uncle Elijah was one of the people who valued truth above all but family.
"I have no choice but to tell your father about that Tyler." I struggled more at those words, whining and whimpering.
"NO! He's going to kill me. I promise it won't happen again!" I tried to kick my way off or push my way off but none of it was working.
"Tyler, I'm sure your father wouldn't kill you. He loves you just as much as I do." I shook my head.
"You don't understand. He'll kill me! He'll-he'll-" I began to sob, just thinking of what he'd do. He stopped spanking me, and began to rub my back.
"Shush Tyler, it's okay. He loves you. I know he does."
"How do you know?"
"Because I have seen the way he looks at you and heard the way he talks about you or to you. I know your father more than you think I do." I stopped crying, thinking that through.
"Really?"
"Yes. Really, I do." I stopped crying.
"F-f-fine you can tell him." He rubbed my back a bit more before starting the punishment back up, on my thighs this time. I whimpered, but I didn't struggle this time. "Do you still trust me?"
"You didn't give me your word or a promise, so yes, I still trust you." I sighed in relief. "What did you do wrong and why was it wrong?"
"I played cards, smoke and drank in the same night?, had se-THAT with Koi, and I l-l-lied to you. I'm so sorry Uncle Elijah. Please forgive me." He patted my back, still smacking me.
"Why was it wrong?"
"Because playing cards could possibly be real? And it's against the law. Even if I didn't use money? Drinking is fine but smoking is probably not, especially when at the same time? Se-THAT is wrong because I'm kind of under age and it was done while intoxicated? Lying is wrong because it hurts the people you lied to."
"Yes. I agree with your reasoning Tyler." He stopped spanking me, fixed my clothing, and sat me in his lap. I leaned against him, taking in the comfort he offered. I closed my eyes but he gently shook me awake. "Tyler please take Jeremy's place." I opened my mouth to try to help Jeremy but he put a finger on my lips. "Please." I sighed, nodding my head. Daddy was already going to be pissed tomorrow. I should probably send out a warning text to Koi.
(Jeremy POV)
"Jeremy, please come here." Dang it. I didn't want this again. I was tired! ...ish. "Jeremy?" I looked up at him. "Please come here." I opened my mouth to complain but closed it immediately. I'm lucky if they don't tell Damon about this. I walked over to him.
"Jeremy are you on vervain?" I looked at him suspiciously. "I need to know if it's possible that you could be compelled, maybe a vampire compelled you to forget what happened tonight. If what I heard from my brother is true, then looking at you won't answer my question about you having been fed on and given vampire blood. Unless perhaps you open your mouth, but I doubt even then I shall be able to tell." I sighed, and opened my mouth. "There is no blood on your teeth. That means their smarter than I give them credit for. So answer the question."
"I haven't had vervain for a while." He looked me in the eye.
"May I have permission to bring back your missing memories if they are indeed hidden?" I nodded at him. "'You remember what happened tonight, despite how hard the vampire, if there was indeed a vampire, compelled you not to.' What do you remember?"
"I drank tonight, I ran from the cops and Klaus, I... was fed from by a vampire, and then they gave me their blood and then more beer. I was fed on. By a vampire... well I guess it's not the first time, but that's horrible!"
"May I know what this vampire looked like?"
"All I remember is brown hair. Long dark brown hair and light brown eyes."
"May I venture into your mind to see what they looked like?" I nodded.
"Wait, what?" He stood, and put his hands on either side of my head.
"I wish to venture into your mind. May I?"
"Just wanted to make sure I heard you right." He went into my mind I guess? Because a minute later. He sat down. "Are you ready?" I nodded. He bared me and laid me across his lap. He's an Original. That's why he's able to handle all of us. He began to spank me. I jumped, cringing at the pain. I didn't have the strength to struggle.
"Don't you want to go back to sleep Elijah? Or go tell Klaus or something?"
"Yes, but I can do so after dealing out your punishment. What did you do wrong and why was it wrong?"
"I ran from the cops, and Klaus. That's wrong because it's directly disobedient." Or that's what Damon taught me, tried to run once and I couldn't sit for a week. More or less. "I drank when I knew I shouldn't have. That is also direct disobedience. I'm sorry I did them, and it won't happen again."
"Yes, it was direct disobedience. I am disappointed in your behaviour Jeremy."
"Are you going to tell Damon?"
"It's the responsible thing to do."
"Is that a yes?"
"Yes Jer, that is a yes." Kol called.
"Kol! Corner time is supposed to be quiet time." He nodded. I gulped, in fear. He is so going to kill me now. First the stolen crossbow and now a party with drinking. I felt tears prick my eyes and didn't care to try and keep them back. He smacked me a few more times before righting my clothing and sitting me on his lap as he rubbed my back. I stopped crying a few minutes later. Too tired. I'm human. He let me up. "All of you should go to bed now."
"Sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"You are all forgiven." Elijah said, sending us to bed with a hug. I went up to the room and climbed into one of the beds and they did the same. Today had been fun and painful. Sure I'll feel it worse tomorrow morning. I'm too tired to care right now.
