Shameful. The first word that comes to mind when I think of myself. I've been asking myself for the past couple of days, how I've been letting this happen. All my mistakes. It happened because I became weak. Niklaus and Elijah were right, I became attached.
I have never been attached to anyone who was not my family. My whole life, has been about protecting my family. Once I failed, once I was put in that stupid box, I didn't feel like I had a purpose anymore. I know I was against helping the doppelgänger and her friends at the beginning, but I think part of the reason why I said yes to Elijah is so I can be useful again.
I was put in a box. That should represent how terrible a job I did protecting my siblings. Only two of my siblings are actually living right now while the rest continue to rot. I could not save my siblings. I could not save this group. I'm useless. I'm weak.
No, I'm not weak. I was distracted. This all started when I faced my father. When he defeated me. When he tried to kill me.
When he took my magic...
After that, I was daggered. That was the start of everything. Instead of protecting this girl and her friends I should of been finding a way to track our siblings. So Elijah could pull the daggers out. My number one priority my entire life has been my family. How I could let that change?
Why should I care about the doppelgänger and her friends? Most of them will be dead in the next 80 years. So why do I care?
I was too absorbed in my thoughts to realize I was no longer at the school. I was tied down, actually unable to use my magic. I am getting serious deja vu. The last time this happened was when Stefan ambushed me in the woods the first time I saw Katherine.
Oh god. I'm in the cellar again, aren't I?
This time, I easily break out of the chains holding me as I am really angry. "Do they ever learn?"
I get up and make my way out of the cellar, when I am stopped. I try to walk out again, but I cannot. I am trapped in here.
"Don't even try it. That spell uses 100 witches." Stefan states walking into the room with Damon behind him. I take a step back from the entrance as they walk in.
"Why am I here?" I ask him acting oblivious and Damon does a little laugh.
"Why are you here?" Damon starts to laugh real hard, and I look at him confused before he rushes at me and grabs me by the neck.
"What the hell." I say barely being able to breathe.
"You're here because you're a lying bitch who made us believe you were actually trying to help us." Damon says in a harsh and angry tone. Stefan tries to calm him down.
"Damon, don't kill her yet. We need her to find Elena." Stefan tries to reason with Damon. I continue to be choked by him, and his grip tightens. My face starts to turn red. "Damon!"
He finally let go of his grip on me, and I dropped to the floor. I started to cough, trying to take in air into my lungs. I tried to reconcile what had happened the previous day. But then it hit me. Stefan had found out that I was Klaus's sister.
"Okay. I understand why you're mad, but let me explain." I started to say, but they didn't want to hear it.
"We don't need an explanation, we just need to know where Elena is." Damon stated unamusedly.
"Elena? Why would I know where she is?" I asked, confused.
"Look around the cellar. Notice anything different?" Stefan asks, and I do just that. It doesn't take me long to realize Elijah is gone. She pulled the dagger out.
"Okay. So she is with Elijah. Why would I still know where she is." I ask getting up from the ground.
"You lied about knowing Klaus. Which means you most likely knew Elijah too. So where is he?" Damon asks.
I look at both their faces. They seem really pissed off right now, and I understand why. But this is not the first time I've been in this situation.
"I have no clue where Elijah is, but I could find him." I state and they both seem intrigued.
"How?" Damon asks and I give him a little smirk.
"Location spell. But I won't do the spell, until you guys hear me out." I state but Damon immediately declines.
"Absolutely not. Either you do the spell or I kill you right now." Damon threatens. I don't respond to his threat and Stefan just looks at me confused.
"Wait Damon. She might actually be useful." Stefan states and Damon looks at him surprised.
"No, I am not getting played by her anymore. We do the spell or we kill her stefan." Damon says not even trying to argue with his brother.
"We kill her and then what? We still have no clue where Elena is, we lost a witch who could actually give us information on Klaus, and not to mention you would have just killed Klaus's sister. You don't think he will have some resentment?" Stefan tells Damon. Damon continues to glare at Stefan but realizes he has a point.
He sighs in defeat. "Fine. You can explain, but! We will be asking the questions."
"Ask away." I tell them.
"Okay. What's your name?" Stefan asks, and Damon looks at Stefan, confused.
"Really. That's your question?" Damon stated and Stefan nodded.
I do a small smile at his question. I know this has been bugging him since we first met. "You're really smart, Stefan. But my name is Kalle."
"Full name, please." Stefan politely asked and I nodded.
"My name is Kallandra. Kallandra Mikaelson." I tell them, and they both stare at me with shock.
"Kallandra? As in the witch that helped Klaus and Elijah with Katherine?" Damon asks confused and Stefan looks with that same face.
"As in, I am that witch." I clarify and I can see the terror grow on their faces.
"When Klaus said you were his sister, what did he mean exactly...?" Stefan asks me trying to make sure he got this right.
"As in we came from the same womb." I state and their faces just continue to get more surprised. This is actually amusing to me. "You would be able to tell if he was actually in his body, that we carry the same accent."
"Kalle how old are you?" Damon states finally spitting the question out. I look at him with a sly smile.
"Um so in this body, 19." I state.
"How long have you been 19?" Stefan asked me.
"Hmm. About 1000 years or so? I don't know. After you hit the 1000-year mark, you sort of lose count." I state, and they stare at me with shock. Then they look at each other, like they're in big trouble.
"How are you alive? Like, are you also a vampire?" Stefan asked me, and I immediately shook my head no.
"Oh, absolutely not! I'm a 100% witch. Just an immortal one." I state it casually.
"Oh, yeah. Like that is so normal." Damon states still in shock.
"Why are you guys so surprised. We live in a supernatural world where things like this exist." I tell them.
"Are there any other immortal witches?" Stefan asks, and I nod my head no. "So how did you become immortal?"
"Look, long story short the same witch that turned the originals into vampires, turned me into an immortal witch." I explain.
"Elijah and Klaus. So you've known them for 1000 years? Have you guys always hated each other?" Damon asks, now intrigued in the story.
"Not necessarily. I don't hate Elijah or Klaus, but I cannot say the same for them. Elijah wants Klaus dead, which is a fact." I state sadly realizing Elijah really wants Klaus dead.
"We already know that. And he is using Elena for his own selfish needs." Stefan states. My faces starts to turn somber.
"Unless it's not for selfish needs?" Damon says noticing my face change and Stefan looks at me confused. "Why does Elijah want Klaus dead?"
"You know how I said we were all turned immortal by the same person? Well, we weren't just randomly picked to become immortal." I started to say, and they both looked at me curiously. "Klaus isn't my only original sibling."
They quickly both come to the realization.
"Of course Elijah is your brother." Damon says, annoyed and frustrated.
"Why would Elijah want to kill his own brother?" Stefan asks me.
"Because of our siblings," I explained, and their faces continued to be surprised.
"You have more siblings...great." Damon states unhappy.
"That dagger you used on Elijah, well Klaus has five others. Each for every one of us." I state.
"He uses the daggers on his own family?" Stefan asks surprised and I nod.
"What did you expect? He is the 'big bad vampire' for a reason." Damon states not really that shocked.
"He calls it our punishment for not listening to him. He stores their bodies in coffins and has each coffin labeled for each one of us." I explain.
"I thought our family was bad but yours takes it to the next level." Damon states surprised and Stefan just nudges him. "What?"
"Some of my siblings have been daggered longer than others. Elijah was never daggered by Klaus because he was always by his side. Always believed in his redemption." I state ignoring Damon's remarks.
"Can you not be daggered since your not a vampire?" Stefan asks me.
"Um...technically no. I shouldn't be able to be daggered. But before I came here, I was actually in a box for 100 years." I explain and they look at me with shock and some empathy.
"How..?" Damon asks.
"I don't really want to explain the details, but my magic was temporarily taken away, which resulted in me being daggered. Klaus took advantage of the situation as soon as he could." I say in a sad tone.
"And you still don't hate him?" Stefan asks confused.
"My family and I have a confusing and complicated relationship. But we're not here to talk about it." I say trying to get back to the main subject.
"Right. Now why does Elijah want Klaus dead? Damon asks.
"He believes our brother dropped our siblings at the bottom of the ocean and wants revenge." I tell them.
"Did he?" Stefan asks.
"No, but Elijah was too blind to see that and was willing to have the doppelgänger dead just so he could kill Niklaus." I state.
"Was?" "Niklaus?" Stefan and Damon ask at the same time. Damon starts laughing at Nik's name.
"First of all, yes, Niklaus is his full name." I say and Damon starts laughing while Stefan ignores his childish behavior. "Secondly, Elijah is a man of his word. The reason he went after Elena in the cabin is because you betrayed him and I needed to stop him so I daggered him. He should of calmed down by now. He is noble and keeps his word if you keep yours."
"He is dangerous." Stefan states.
"Klaus is worst. Trust me, you would much rather have Elijah on your side then your enemy." I tell him.
"And what about you? Are you on our side?" Damon asks me. I honestly have no idea so I don't answer.
"So, you're the enemy, good to know." Damon states angrily.
"No I am not." I start to explain and Stefan calms Damon down so I can talk. "I will try my best to make sure Elena does not die, but Niklaus is my family. He's my brother and I cannot let him die. No matter what he has done, he is still my blood. You must understand that."
Stefan and Damon look at each other. I am aware of Stefan's past, and I am sure Damon has also done some terrible things. But they continue to have each other's backs because they are family.
"Well how are we supposed to keep Elena alive, if Klaus will stop at nothing to kill her?" Stefan asks me irritated.
"Why don't you dagger him? I mean you are an immortal witch, and he is just a vampire so shouldn't you be more powerful than him?" Damon asks me and my face turns pale. They both look at me confused by my reaction.
"There's something you guys should know about the sacrifice. The whole moon and sun curse is a lie." I bluntly state.
"What do you mean?" Stefan asks.
"Elijah and Klaus came up with the idea to hide what the sacrifice was really for." I explain.
"Which was..?" Damon asks intrigued.
"The curse was really put on Klaus to suppress his other side, his werewolf side." I state, and their faces become surprised again.
"Werewolf..? Is he is part werewolf?" Damon asks, still trying to process.
"Our mother had an affair and Klaus is our half-brother. The affair was with a werewolf, making Klaus the first hybrid to ever exist."
"So this curse on him...it suppresses his werewolf abilities?" Stefan asks me.
"Some of them. He cannot be hurt by silver, which is why he cannot be daggered. But, he can't turn into a werewolf. He has been trying to break this curse for centuries." I tell them.
"So, not only is Klaus a strong, powerful vampire, but he is also a hybrid? If he goes through with this sacrifice, he will be the most powerful being to exist." Stefan states, surprised, and I nod.
"And Elijah was helping him with this?" Damon asked, confused.
"Yep. He helped for centuries, until Klaus made Elijah think he had gotten rid of our family. I honestly didn't care if Klaus unlocked his werewolf side or not because not much would truly change. He would still be the arrogant, annoying, headstrong, paranoid person he is today." I explained.
"Huh. Well, all of this was um...a lot to take in." Stefan says still trying to process everything.
"So...I think that pretty much covers everything." I say finally glad I'm done talking. Just then, Stefan gets a call.
"Um, it's Jenna." Stefan states going into the hall to take the call.
"So you gonna let me go now?" I ask as Stefan leaves the room.
"Hmm. Not until you find Elijah." Damon states.
"Can't really do that from in here." I state.
"Well you better find a way." Damon says with a smirk. "Oh! Yesterday when you said Katherine might not be dead..."
"Oh she is most definitely alive. Klaus has a huge vendetta against her and is probably making her his puppet." I explain.
"Well, she's on vervain, so what can he have her do?"
"You mean after Klaus drains the vervain out of her painfully? Basically everything." I state confidently and Damon eyes shift worried now. "Don't worry. She probably did not say that much about you guys."
"We didn't even tell her much." Damon recalls.
"You told her enough. And she knows enough about you for Klaus to get the details out of her." I state and Damon reacts annoyed. Stefan then comes back into the cellar.
"I need to go check on Jenna. She's back at the house, and I think Klaus may be there." Stefan said.
"Well, I think I may need to pay Alaric's house a visit too." Damon replies back.
"Wait. What about me? Can you let me out now?" I ask, and they both look at me uncertainly.
"The thing is, Bonnie is the one who put the spell on so we cannot even let you out even if we wanted to." Stefan states.
"That's unfortunate. Well, let's go Stef." Damon states leading Stefan out of the cellar.
"Hey! Wait!" I scream at them but when I get to the entrance, they are already gone.
Ugh. I'm starting to hate this cellar.
