This is a very short chapter compared to the last. It serves to give you insight into her personality and a little bit of what she's capable of.

I always wished that Finn wasn't against his family. I think that if he hadn't been killed he would have eventually reconciled and been alright with his siblings. So that's something I'll try to make happen.

As always, I don't own VD or anything there in. I do own my OC and story additions/changes.

Chapter 6

The rest of the gathered crowd looked on for a few moments in silence. Finn was the first to speak. "Would someone please explain what has transpired here?"

Everyone's eyes were locked on Stefan, Kol and the wolf. The wolf looked at Kol, who nodded his head with an unreadable expression, before it turned to Stefan who simply bowed his head. She took quite a few steps back, and motioned, with her head, for Kol and Stefan to stand in front of the others. They did.

She started running at them and leapt into the air. Stefan and Kol were joined by Elijah, who seemed to have caught on that their position was important. Their arms were the only things that stopped the other Mikaelson's from lunging forward. In mid air the beautiful white wolf turned back into the raven haired girl in the red dress. She landed a few feet from the group.

When Rebekah went to speak, she was silenced by Sara raising her hand, with her index finger in the air. She bent down to remove her heels, as they'd now sunk into the grass. When she straightened back up she looked at her uncle and spoke. "You should take Elena home. Give him the night. We both know he acts like this when he's hurt." Her eyes hardened and strayed to Elena and the girl shuddered at the glare she was given. Sara's eyes went to Kol before she spoke again. "He needs time. I will make sure he's spoken too." She winked at him.

Stefan said nothing, he simply turned, held his hand out for Elena and the two walked away.

Kol's laugh broke the tense silence. "He's in for a world of pain." He doubled over. "I've had to endure your scoldings before and I feel for the bloke."

Elijah turned, silently admonishing him.

Sara walked up and smacked the back of his head. Klaus, Finn and Rebekah tensed waiting for their brothers reaction. They were not prepared when he turned and hugged the girl. "He could not have killed me but thank you for protecting me."

"You know as well as I do, that it wasn't the first time I got your stupid ass out of some situation. Plus, I was saving him too. He throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way." She ruffled his hair, and shifted them so her arm was around his waist while his was on her shoulders. They were now facing his family.

Rebekah couldn't help but smile. "That sounds familiar." Her eyes strayed to Niklaus, and both Kol and Sara broke out into laughter.

Klaus was becoming irritated. "Silence Rebekah!" He nearly shouted at her.

They all grew silent and Kol felt his closest friend stiffen beside him. He knew this may not end well and tried to tighten his grip on her. He however dropped his hand with a warning look from her.

She walked forward, now standing about a foot in front of the hybrid. "Niklaus Mikaelson. The ever temperamental hybrid afraid of love and loneliness. I believe you should be nicer to your family. They would go to the ends of the earth for you, even after you've hurt them repeatedly." He went to speak, and with a waved of her hand his mouth snapped shut. "I am not finished." The others looked on with shock. Except Kol, he was amused and slightly worried, for his brother. She may not be able to kill him, but she could hurt him. "I have no intention of hurting you," her eyes wandered to the others, "any of you. I will do my best to keep my family in line." Her eyes returned to Klaus. "However, I will tell you that I believe you owe your sister an apology. You, I understand will never give one. We were joking around, and she made a harmless comment." She stepped closer, now standing very close, almost intimately so. "Would it have honestly caused you any pain to have simply let it go?"

She took two steps back and released her hold over his mouth. "You stupid girl, do you know who I am?" The hybrid snarled. He took a step forward.

"Actually, no I don't. I've heard all the stories of what you've done in your thousand years, but I do not know who you truly are. I simply know how you wish to be perceived." The entire family now looked shocked, including Klaus and Kol. They'd never heard anyone speak so truthfully to any of them, let alone Niklaus. They were unsettled by how easily she read him. "Now, for more important things. Ask. I know you're curious."

She winked at Kol. He knew the truth. He decided to tell his family otherwise they'd be irritated. "Before you ask, know this information will be withheld from you, unless you're in her presence or she allows you to remember."

Elijah was the first to speak. He looked to his brother. "Please explain, brother."

Kol simply turned to Sara and nodded. "I feel like this is gonna take a while, can we go inside?" She asked, and then she remembered the party. "Oh, never mind you guys still have a party to attend to. Um short version. You'll remember everything, but it'll feel like it's just out of reach. I can explain it all when we have the time to discuss it." She turned to Elijah then. "As I know you believe in honour, I give you my word that I will return and discuss this."

Klaus went to object, but oddly enough Finn cut him off. "As family elder, I will speak for us." The hybrid's eyes burned. "I may not trust you, but I know that you spoke truth in your promise. I believe Kol and Elijah, perhaps even Rebekah would be in agreement." All three of them nodded at him. "You have your own family to attend to tonight and we have a party." He approached her, took her hand and raised it too his lips. "Until we meet again."

"By the way I don't have to run to shift. It's just more dramatic." She blew a kiss at Elijah, and winked at Klaus, before turning back into a shining white wolf and taking off for home.

After Elijah's conversation with his mother, where he promised to deal with Kol and Rebekah's violence at the party, Finn entered her study.

"Are we free to speak freely?" He asked her after shutting the door.

"Yes, the sage still burns." She was writing the names of her children on a piece of paper.

Finn tried to tell her about the witch, and how she may be a problem, but he found that he could not. His mind couldn't form a sentence together, and he couldn't get his mouth to speak as he wished it too. Resigned to the fact that this was nearly her protecting herself, he decided to drop it. She didn't seem like she wanted to involve herself in their problems, so he decided to discuss the linking and concluding ritual with his mother instead. It was not as if he could do anything about his mind block.

He hoped that she did not decide to interfere.

Although, even if she did, he was sure his mother was more powerful.
