Chapter Seven


Stefan Salvatore*

"Well, first thing we need to do is-", Stefan wanted to listen to what Klaus was saying but his thoughts were running wild. He just had an epiphany with the hybrid, he trusted Klaus enough to tell him about Hailey, and Klaus had just sworn on his FAMILY name that he would help Stefan. Family is everything to the Originals, the fact that Klaus was swearing on his name made it bluntly obvious that he truly does see Stefan as family. The only thing Klaus ever wanted was to not be alone, to for once not be left out for something he couldn't control. He had to tell him about Elena, Klaus may react violently but he deserves to know that the answer to his dreams was still alive with human blood coursing through her veins. Klaus swore to protect Hailey, the girl that Stefan loved to the ends of earth and would gladly go through hell for, despite only being able to spend a night with her, he knew that she was his and he was hers. This is the least that he could do for Klaus. Good or bad reaction it's going to end in one of his brothers, biological or not, throwing a hissy fit.

"-and we'll likely need to find your mate to make sure she's guarded but I don't think normal vampires are going to cut-", at the mention of needing something stronger than an average vampire Stefan gathered it was better to say it now.

"About that…Klaus there is something I need to tell you…", he tried finding the proper wording but how can he put it gently that Elena's real father had decided to exchange his life for hers and as consequence she is still alive and human, capable to be of use to Klaus?

"SHE'S WHAT?!??", Klaus had said suddenly. Did he just say that out loud?

"Yes! Stefan, you did!", he gulped as his throat had suddenly ran dry but he refused to look away from Klaus's eyes. What felt like a thousand years to Stefan ,in reality was only thirty seconds, Klaus's thunderous and gobsmacked expression quickly melted into a devilish grin. Stefan knew that look and it did not bode well. Klaus's siblings feared it as it was a sign that he was going to cause chaos and embarrassment for whoever wronged him.

"Klaus I'm sorry, I really am but at the time-", Stefan was caught off by Klaus's delightful yet bone chilling laugh. Oh deities above, Stefan was in for it!

"Oh Stefan my sweet baby brother, I'm not angry, I'm just…disappointed", Klaus said in a faux parental stern tone and trailed off with a sigh. Klaus had officially entered his brooding (pouting) mood, in which at every conversation he is going to have he is likely to rant. And in those rants he will reveal an embarrassing event that Stefan had done or an embarrassing fact about Stefan. Stefan winced, the only way to get Klaus out of that mood and it was to do whatever Klaus needed to be done but doesn't want to do himself. He had to do whatever it is, he needed to uphold his reputation as the Original Hybrid right hand ripper. People aren't going to take him seriously about him and Klaus being as close as family if whatever dirt Klaus has on him gets out. He's a forever seventeen year old, he's done a lot of stupid stuff…especially in the 20's with Klaus's influence.

"Klaus…please. You name it and I'll get it done, just please!", Stefan begged with his puppy eyes, Klaus figured the task he was going to assign Stefan shouldn't be too terrible but it will definitely teach him a lesson to not withhold important information from family.

"Alright Stefan, I'll forgive and forget as long…as your the one to tell my sister about recent developments as soon as she comes home!", while Rebekah was infatuated with a human named Matt Donavan currently, she also has had a tendency to not let go of the past and be very jealous. Stefan who had recently gained his memories knew this and groaned. He knew it was going to be hard but hopefully after telling Rebekah, Klaus will have pity and restrain her until she can calm down…somewhat. He nodded solemnly and looked like a kicked puppy.

"Now while you figure out what to say, I'll contact one of my witches and get you a new ring. Rebekah is likely to stay out until tomorrow and by then you'll definitely need that ring.",Klaus said with a chuckle. Stefan let out his own sarcastic laugh and quickly sped to Klaus's liquor cabinet to pour himself something strong.

"Just think of Hailey.", he muttered to himself. Hailey was the only thing he could think of that could possibly make him happy in this situation. No doubt as soon as he said it his thoughts were flooded with her emerald green eyes and her midnight black hair. Memories of their time together ,whether talking or being intimate, flashed across his mind. An instant goofy smile came to him. Off to the side Klaus had heard Stefan and witnessed his mood changed. He sighed with an exasperated grin, the strong between his brother and that girl was stronger than anything he has sensed. If something happens to her and Stefan senses it, then there would be a strong possibility of seeing a feral ripper. Absolutely nothing short of death would be able to stop the carnage until the origin of what caused Hailey pain was destroyed. Hopefully, he can help in keeping her safe enough that Stefan doesn't loose his mind and that Stefan and her could remain happy together.
