"You look surprised to see me." Elijah tells Klaus as he wipes the blood off of his hands. "I guess it wasn't you who pulled the dagger from my chest." Elijah states stepping towards Klaus and I.
"you look like you could do with a drink. And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we." Klaus says gesturing to the other room. I can tell by Klaus's face that he's nervous and uneasy. Maybe a bit frightened too. Then Elijah punched Klaus and threw him into the doors breaking it and shattering the glass. I just stood there not knowing what the hell to do.
"Easy, I just finished renovating!" Klaus growled. Then using his hybrid speed ran and pushed Elijah into a wooden table breaking it. "You know, you have every right to be mad at me, but I kept my word. I reunited you with our family." Klaus says with his arms wide. I helped Elijah stand. Elijah rushed at Klaus punching him and throwing him against one of the coffins. Klaus quickly opened Kol's coffin pulling the dagger out and pinning Elijah with the dagger raised prepared to dagger him.
" don't make me do this again Elijah!" I clenched my fist in anger.
"ENOUGH!" I yelled making Klaus fly away from Elijah and releasing the dagger. While doing so the whole house shook and the lights flickered. Elijah looked at me surprised.
"Y-your a witch?" he asks me. I nod.
"You've missed quite a lot Lijah." I smile lightly at him which he returns.
"Mikael is dead." Klaus stated as he stood up an grabbed the dagger.
"What did you say?" Elijah said incredulously.
"I killed him. With his own weapon. He's gone Elijah, forever." Klaus stated.
"Why do our family remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years. Kol for over a century."
"Because of Stefan Salvatore." Klaus states. He must be talking about the fourth coffin. And I'm sorry Klaus for my part in taking that coffin but I have to do it. I don't even know why but I must open that coffin. "He holds the one thing keeping me from freeing them. There are things you do not know about our past, Elijah." Elijah began to look confused. "Our fathers death. Things I never wanted you to know. But I'm ready to tell you now. I only ask that you remember the oath of loyalty you once swore to me." Klaus says while dipping the dagger into white oak ash then walking to Kol's coffin.
"What are you doing?" Elijah asks as Klaus puts the dagger back in Kol. I felt sadness swept over me as I looked at Kol.
"always and forever." Klaus whispers. " i need you to stand by my side. Be my brother. Help me...destroy Stefan, and I promise you, our family will be whole again."
"what!? No!" I yelled at Klaus. I shake my head.
"Love, you know I need to do this so I can reunite my family." Klaus says placing his hands on my shoulder.
"By destroying my brother?! My family!!!!" I yelled. Klaus let go of me hissing in pain. His hands singed as if they were burnt. I shake my head before leaving.
-
"Hello?" I say as I answer my phone.
"hey it's Bonnie I need your help."
-
I walked along side Stefan as we walked through the tomb under the Lockwood property.
"Slow down!" Abby, Bonnies mother exhaled.
"Keep up! We don't have much time." Stefan told them.
"Sorry Stefan, but I didn't have a choice."
"There was a choice, Bonnie, and you made it and now we have to live with it. I told Klaus where the coffins were, and he took them. All of them except this one." Stefan said while pointing his flash light onto the coffin. I was surprised when I was able to enter the tomb.
"that's the one that's sealed?" Abby asks.
"Yep." I said.
"Unfortunately, it seems to be the one he cares about most."
"Aren't you coming inside?" Abby asks Stefan.
"Vampires can't get in except for Juliet. Damon had to compel a couple the Lockwood gardeners to bring the coffin in." Stefan told her.
"This is a bad idea." Abby commented. Bonnie gave Abby a look.
"Look if your really the key to opening up that coffin, I think it's a pretty safe bet you're on Klaus's hit list. So suggest you hide out in here and figure out a way to open the damn thing." Stefan told her. I slightly chuckle for some reason. I began looking through my grimoire to see if there's a spell that could help or to give clues.
"I told you, I don't have any powers."
"And we don't believe you." I told her as she glared at me. "Times ticking. Won't be long before Klaus calls his hybrids to find that coffin and kills all of us." I said to her. "So dig deep, Abby Bennett. Scrape out whatever magic you have left." I told her as Stefan left.
"So this is the only grimoire you kept?" Bonnie asked Abby.
"It was the only one I needed. So..what is all this?" Abby asked turning towards me as I was on my phone looking at the text messages Klaus sent me apologizing about what he said. Before I answered Abbys question Bonnie beat me to it.
"Family history. About a mother who loved her children so much,she couldn't bear the thought she might lose them. So she turned them into vampires. One of them is Klaus." I look back down to my phone.
"the one your trying to kill with whatever's in that box" Abby said gesturing at it. I snapped my head up at then.
"We cant do that." I said but they've ignored me. I groan banging my head ontop of the coffin. Why is everyone I care about trying to kill each other? It's not fair! I wish they'd just get along but that's not going to happen anytime soon. I listened as Abby started talking about how to unseal the coffin and how they need two generations being them two and a powerful witch meaning me to help them.
We put things together for what we needed to do until I got a text, sorry make that four coming from my brothers, bf, and best friend telling me to go to this dinner truce thing.
"You don't need to do this, and I'd understand if you don't or can't do this considering your with Klaus." Bonnie told me. I smiled gratefully at her and hugged her before leaving. Well that was easy.
I ran to the boarding house and went to Klaus's. I was wearing a black v-neck dress with sleeves that covered my shoulders and a brown belt around my waist. I also wore black pumps and had my hair pinned back and my bangs to the side. I softly knocked on the door. And Elijah answered it.
"You look lovely tonight Juliet." I smile up at Elijah thanking him. I walked in to see Stefan and Damon standing there so I'm assuming they've just arrived.
"Stefan, Damon and Juliet. Elijah tells me you seek an audience. Very bold. Let's discuss the terms of our agreement. Like civilized men and woman, shall we?" Klaus says while gesturing to the table where we'll be eating.
"its best to indulge him." Elijah says walking past us to take a seat. I saw Klaus smile at me who's I return half heartedly.
"I didn't, uh come here to eat,Klaus." Stefan started saying taking a few steps towards Klaus. Klaus just stood there looking amused at Stefan. "In fact, I didn't want to come here at all. But I was told I had to, 'cause you would hear us out."
"Hmm, well, we can sit and eat, or I can reach down your throats and pull out your insides, the choice is yours." He says siting down.
-
So I ended up sitting in-between Klaus and Elijah. The compelled waitresses brung us food and poured wine for us and we began to eat minus Stefan. We all sat there quietly eating when I felt a hand touch my leg. I look next to me at Klaus who was smirking at me while eating. I ignored him pushing his hand away but he places it on my leg below the hem of my dress. I once again ignored him until his hand started going up and I tensed. I gave him a death glare and he chuckled. The others gave us a look and I just shook my head. I tried to act normal and eat my food but Klaus slid his hand up my inner thigh. I was trying not to make a sound. He drew little patterns on my thigh. He quickly took his hand away and said a small 'ouch' from me zapping him, I smirk.
"Lost your appetite?" Klaus asks Stefan.
"Eat, I thought we agreed that we would leave the grumpy Stefan at home." Damon says as I slightly chuckle. Stefan reluctantly grabbed his knife and fork.
"That's the spirit." Klaus said. "Isn't this nice the five of us dining together. Such a treat. Is this what you had in mind when you pulled the dagger out of my brother?" Klaus asks.
"well, I know what he felt about you, so I figure the more......the merrier."
"Well Elijah and I have had our fair share of quarrels over the centuries, but we always make it through."
"Kind of like, uh, you and Rebekah, right? Where is she? By the way? Last I checked, she was still daggered because you were afraid to face her." Stefan said to Klaus. I kicked Stefan under the table and threw him a look.
"If your referring to the fact that Rebekah knows I killed our mother...I've already come clean to Elijah." Klaus says sharing a look with Elijah.
"Hey Stef, remember when you killed dad? Might want to dial down the judgement till dessert." I sternly told him drinking my wine.
"We're here to make a deal Juliet. Doesn't mean we need to kiss his ass for seven courses." Stefan states. I release a long sigh.
"I'm just saying don't go ahead of us. Pace yourself." I said.
"Stefan where is the lovely Elena, tonight?" Elijah asks.
"I don't know ask Damon." i suppressed a chuckle by coughing.
"One more word about Elena, and uh, this dinner is over." Stefan states. Klaus place a finger in front of his mouth.
"You know what, probably best to keep Elena in the do not discuss pile." I suggested.
"Your probably right. It's just the allure of the Petrova doppelgänger is still so strong. What do you say brother?" Are they talking about Tatia 'cause I've heard it before. i zoned out when I got a text. It was from Elena. I read it over to process it. Caroline's dad is in transition and he doesn't want to complete the transition. Aw poor Care! I should really see her. But I have to be here. God and I just left Bonnie and Abby to do the spell alone. I'm a bitch. I texted Elena back.
'How is she?' I texted her and she texted back immediately.
'Not good. Where are you?'-Elena
'With my brothers at Klaus house for a fake truce or whatever.'
'Okay'- Elena
I looked up to see Klaus and Lijah drinking they're wine.
"So, why don't we move evening along and discuss the terms of this proposal?" Elijah says.
"Well it's very simple. Klaus gets his coffin back. In exchange, he, and the original extended family, leave Mystic Falls forever. Me, Stefan, Juliet and Elena live happily ever after, no grudges." Damon offered.
"Deal sounds fair, brother."
"I don't think you understand. I can't do that because Elenas doppelgänger blood ensures that I will always have more hybrids to fight those who oppose me. I will never leave her behind." Klaus stood up with his wine glass in hand. "Lets say I do leave her behind under your protection. What then? How long before one of you turns her into a vampire? Or worse. How long before she dies, caught between your feuding?" I blocked Klaus's voice out. I looked down at my hand which were clenched into fist. Is that all he cares about? His stupid hybrids? He still has Elijah, his family, me! God he is such an ass sometimes.
"The worst thing in the world for Elena is-" I cut him off.
"You. And my brothers. And honestly Klaus is that all you care about? Your stupid precious doppelgänger blood so you can make more hybrids. And for what? So your not alone?" I practically shouted, he was about to protest but I cut him off. I stood up pushing my chair back. At this point I had tears in my eyes. "Your so god, damn blind Klaus! Your not alone you have Elijah, Bekah, Kol, Finn. Your family! You have me! You were never alone Klaus, you just push people away! And are the hybrids more important then your own family? Then me?" I whispered the last part. A tear, fell down my face. Klaus was rendered speechless. My brothers and Elijah looked surprised. I need to get out of here. I walked away. I walked out front and sat on the steps. I wiped the tears away. I heard the door open and the person sat next to me. I already knew it was Klaus. I didn't bother to look at him.
"I'm sorry love. And no my hybrids aren't more important then you sweetheart." He took my hand into his. I look into his blue eyes. He rubbed my hand with his thumbs. A strand of hair fell in my face and Klaus pushed it behind my ear. He leaned in and softly kissed me on the forehead. I sighed. How does he do it? I ask myself. I softly smile at him which he returned. I kissed him on the lips before standing up, he followed. He pinned me to the pillar and kissed me passionately. I wrap my arms around him as he did the same. He began kissing down my neck, that's when I pushed him away.
"Not here, especially with prying ears." Klaus smirked and nodded. We walked back in.
"How about you go upstairs, everything will be fine, I promise." Klaus whispered in my ear. I nod before pecking him on the lips and going upstairs into Klaus's room. I stripped down and let my hair down before stepping into the shower. After I was done I wrapped the towel around myself and walked into the room and pulled out a baggy t-shirt and boxer briefs and put that on. I hung the towel up and with my magic I dried my hair. I crawled into the bed and got under the covers and soon dozed off.
-
I woke up to the sound of glass breaking and Klaus screaming. I ran down stairs and I was surprised to see Rebekah and Kol. There was another guy I didn't know so that must be Finn. Kol held Klaus arms back.
"You're free to go." Elijah said. Damon grabbed my arm dragging me out.
"Juliet is family so she stays. This is family business." Elijah states. Damon was going to protest but I cut him off and pushed him out the door.
"I like what you've done with the new place, Nik." Rebekah stated picking up a glass vase and throwing it shattering it and knocking down a painting.
"I wanted it to be for all of us. A place we could all call home; a place we could all be a family. None of us would ever have to be alone again" Klaus whispered.
"Oh, your right." Elijah replied. "None of us will be."
"you're staying behind." Who I assume is Finn said.
"We're leaving you Nik." Rebekah states simply. "Right after I kill that doppelgänger wench. And you will be alone. Always and Forever ."
"You run. And I will hunt you all down." Klaus cried.
"Then you will become everything you hate, our father." Elijah stated. klaus laughed half-heartedly.
"I'm the hybrid! I can't be killed!" Klaus yelled. "I have nothing to fear from any of you."
"You will when we have that coffin." At this point Klaus had tears in his eyes and him and Elijah were staring at each other. The door opened and I felt a surge of power. We all turned to see who it was. a woman with long blonde hair walked in.
"Mother?" Rebekah asked. My eyes widened. every one looked dumb strucked. She walked further into the room to Klaus. Klaus had tears going down his eyes.
"Look at me." Ester demanded in a strong motherly voice. He slowly looked up at her. "Do you know why I'm here?" She asks.
"You're here to kill me." He whispered. Oh hell no!
"Niklaus you are my son. And I am here to forgive you." She turns and looks at us. " I want us to be a family again."
Then there were talking and blah, blah,blah. I was now standing next to Klaus hugging him. Which he returned. We pulled apart when Ester walked up to me with a smile. She held her hand out which I took as we shook hands. I had this uneasy feeling coming from her. Like I couldn't trust her.
