✵彡 CHAPTER TWO
NOBLE BROTHER OF MINE
╚════════ ∘◦ ❉ ◦∘ ═════════╝
EARLY MORNING LYANNA AND THE SALVATORE brothers made their way to the Gilbert household to talk to the doppelganger that the Heretic was yet to meet. The Mikaelson never expected her to be like Katherine ( though Lyanna did have her doubts about the human ) Sure there was Tatia and Katherine but even if they wore the same face, there was something different about each of them.
Lyanna and Elena somehow clicked.
The Mikaelson hoped that something doesn't change that. For the sake of her adoptive brothers that so kindly took her in as one of their own siblings, Lyanna would get along with her because Elena Gilbert hasn't wronged her.
"In the tomb, she told me about how you risked her life for her," Elena explained what she remembered from a few hours ago. Lyanna nodded slowly. The Heretic could feel the sympathy in her voice. Lyanna believed that the human thought she was caught into one of Katherine's plans. What Elena didn't know that she did it for her best friend.
"So what's ths about getting rid of the moonstone's power?" Lyanna questioned, changing the topic to what really matters.
"Katherine said that if she gives us the moonstone, we free her from the tomb and she'll never step foot in Mystic Falls again."
"She's lying." Lyanna interjected Elena crossed her arms agreeing with the Heretic Witch. "You don't believe her, do you?" uncertainly asked.
"No, of course not. We just want the moonstone." Damon grabbed an apple out of the fruit bowl, throwing it in each of his hands back and forth. "According to Rose's friend Slater," Stefan said. "Slater?! I know him!" Lyanna interrupted feeling happy hearing about her close friend.
The brothers glared at her for interrupting. She simply raised her hands up innocently. " Jeez fine. Continue."
"That there is a way to destroy that Klaus wants to break." Stefan explained.
"No spell. No doppelganger sacrifice. The therefore you live." Damon said. "Did he say how you can destroy it? I can probably do it." Lyanna asked.
"By releasing it from the moonstone." Stefan put's his hands on the counter, looking straight into Elena's eyes. "Stefan im sorry but how do you exactly do that?" Lyanna states the obvious. "Yeah, how do you know that this is even going to work?" Elena asked.
"Because we have a crafty witch and a heratic witch on our side." Damon said. He winked at Lyanna making her shake her head. "Did you at least discuss it with Bonnie?"
"She's agreed to help along with me." Lyanna informed. "Speaking of Bonnie, she promised that she'll show me around the school." She grabbed her bag off the counter. "I'll see you guys later!" Lyanna rushed out the door.
Elena could see the little spark in her eyes that didn't go unnoticed by the human girl. She smiled at the thought of Lyanna being together with Bonnie. Elena declared to herself that she'll bring them together with the help of Caroline Forbes.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
The witches walk to school together. Lyanna told her how she got cast out of her family centuries ago and met Stefan and Damon later in the 1900s. "So that's why you inherited the Salvatore name. Because you considered having a normal vampire life" Bonnie said. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her, being disowned by her own family brothers because of her brother. "That and because I didn't want anything to do them." Lyanna added on.
"So how did you find out that you're a witch?" she asked curiously. Bonnie flashed her a whole summary on how she found out about being a witch. "You didn't find out till you were in high school?" Lyanna flabbergasted. "To my offense, I thought my grams was drunk." Bonnie retorted making the girls laugh.
"I showed signs of magic when I was little, mother was so proud to have a female witch in the family." Lyanna thoughtfully said.
"You were the only witch in the family?" Bonnie asked. "When I was human a thousand years ago it was only two out of the seven of us." Lyanna explained. "Somehow when I turned into an original my powers haven't disappeared making me a Heretic. Half vampire half witch."
"However, my brother stayed a vampire. He didn't inherit what I have now."
Once they arrived, the two girls look around for Jeremey. "I've been having problems with my magic lately," Bonnie stated. "I feel physical pain and exhaustion becoming a lot harder."
"Like nosebleeds and headaches?" Lyanna pointed out. "Yeah, why is that?" Bonnie wondered.
"That's because you need help from nature itself. For example, the elements or anything to channel with to draw power." Lyanna told her. "Have you ever channeled for something or someone?"
"What's that?" Bonnie feeling interested. "Let's say we put our energy together." somebody called out. Luka comes over and smiles at to two girls. "It can double our strength." Lyanna smiled at the warlock. "Here can I see that bracelet for a second?" she asked.
Bonnie handed her bracelet casting an unsure look. Lyanna only flashed a mischievous look. "Now close your eyes," Lyanna instructed. "I don't get it." Bonnie shook her head. "What are we doing." She lets out a laugh. "You guys are channeling." Luka gave his necklace to Bonnie we held on to it. "Let's see if channeling from me will give a boost of power."
"The personal items act as a talisman," she said to the newly witch. "Now concentrate." Bonnie listened and both girls close their eyes. An aura of energy reaches Bennett. "What is that?" All Lyanna did be just smile and closed her eyes again.
Outside the fallen leaves start swirling around due to the wind. Lyanna gasps at the amount of energy. Bonnie opened her eyes in shock with the amount of power. The students all cry out when papers slip their grasps. Bonnie let's out a laugh making Heretic and warlock laugh along.
They looked around and spot students picking up their papers and complain about the weather. "What's with that weather huh?" Jeremy adjusted his backpack on his shoulder.
"It's global warming man, I don't know." Luka said, winking at the two girls. Lyanna flashed an amused look. She was slowly getting used to him. "I gotta go." Luka picks up his backpack off the ground. "See ya later Bonnie, Lyanna."
"Bye Luka," Bonnie said. "See ya later!" Lyanna waved at him.
He walked away in another direction while the remaining three stare after him. Jeremy looks at us. "That guy is weird, huh?"
"No, he's not," The girls chorused together. The girls blush a bit but say nothing as Jeremy stared weirdly at us. Lyanna catches a glimpse of his necklace in her palms. "His necklace." she panicked a bit. "We forgot to give it to him."
Bonnie's eyes widen and looked for Luka who was now far away. The girl's phone buzzes. Lyanna takes her phone out and looks at the message. "It's from Damon," Bonnie said looking at the both of us.
Lyanna said nothing as she looked at the message she received from Elena. "Elena needs me right now, something about school." She lied.
Elena
Can u pick Rose and I up? We're going to Slater's.
She replied back saying 'yes' and went to her car. Lyanna then called Elena who instantly answered. "I'll be there in a few minutes. Get ready."
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
So here is Lyanna behind the wheel driving to Slater's place. She parks the car behind the back and the girls get out of the car.
The girls make it inside the apartment building, climbing up the stairs to Slater's. Rose goes up to the door and knocks three times. "Slater, Slater! Rose open up." Rose called out. Lyanna uses her hearing for any noise. "He's not even home," she said looking at Elena and Rose.
"No, we didn't come all the way out here for nothing." Elena disagreed. Elena tilted her head to the door. Lyanna sighed. "Stay back." They do as they were told and she kicks the door open. "After you." Rose gestured for her to go in.
She walks in ahead while Elena looks around. Lyanna then finds Slater staked in the heart. She gasped and called Rose over. "I don't think he's going to be much help." She said to Rose who looked shocked. Elena walks over and gasped at the sight of the vampire dedicated.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
Lyanna dragged Slater's body in another room while Elena and Rose looked around for anything. She then comes back to the room and searched through papers. "It looks like whoever blew up the coffee shop found him and killed him for his information," Elena said, shuffling through papers.
"Yeah, probably to stop him from helping people like us." Rose put a hand on her hip. "The guy was a vampire almanac knowing too much information just bit him in the ass."
Lyanna gave her a funny look before looking at Elena. "Is there anything that can help us?" she questioned looking over her shoulder. Elena shook her head and continued searching. Rose walked up to the windows and opened the curtains.
Elena grimaced at the sudden light. "What are you-"
"It's tempered glass. U.V rays can't penetrate." Rose pushed the curtains aside. She stared into the distance. "I use to come here all the time to watch the day." she murmured but enough for the two girls to hear.
"I'm sorry about Slater," Elena told the both of them. Lyanna scanned the computers having an idea. "Why don't you check the computers," she said. Elena went and tried to guess his password. "It's password protected."
"Well duh," Lyanna said. "Let's just go. Everything we have right now is fine I guess."
A sudden crash is heard throughout the house alarming the girls. "Stay here I'll go check it out," Rose said, walking over to the two closed doors. She opened the doors and saw a black-haired girl hiding.
"Alice?" Rose's voice laced with shock. "Rose!" 'Alice' rushed over and hugged Rose sobs racking her body. "He's dead."
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
Elena pours some tea into some cups while Rose looked at Lyanna talk to Alice. "She found him a few minutes before we did." Lyanna walked over to them. "How is she?"
"Overreacting big time." Rose shuffled in her seat. "Her boyfriend just died there is no such thing as overreacting," Elena said finding that hard to believe. "Those tears aren't for Slater, there for her own."
"She was only dating him long enough for him to turn her into a vampire." Lyanna grabs a cup and sipped on some tea. Elena grabbed a cup went over to Alice.
"Do you know Slater's computer password," Elena questioned. "Are you seriously asking that? my boyfriend got staked through the heart." Alice glared at the brunette. "I understand that, do you know his password." Ignoring her remark earlier.
Lyanna lets a snort but coughed to cover it. Rose only shook her head and smirked.
"What if I convince Lyanna or Rose to turn you?" Elena negotiated. Rose and Lyanna' eyes widen. "Oh, fu-" Rose covered the mouth of the young original. "Will you show us his files then?"
After a few minutes, Alice sat on the chair finding the files to Slater's work. "Everything is wiped out."
"Yeah from whoever killed him," Rose said from behind. "Lucky for you Slater backed it up." Alice turned her spinning chair to the other computer. Rose walked over to Elena, "You know she's not going anywhere near my blood or Lyanna's, right?" she said.
"I know. she doesn't." Elena walked over to the computer leaving a smirking Rose.
"Kristen Stewart. God was he obvious." Alice rolled her eyes. Lyanna wanted to snap that little girl's neck.
"These are all leads to vampires?" Elena scanned all the records. "Slater was obsessed, almost as much as me," Alice said making the petite original gag in disgust.
"Try Colby Webber," Rose suggested. "We exchanged emails about Elijah."
"I can call him?" Alice offered her shoulder to Elena. "Call him and tell him the doppelganger is alive and is ready to surrender." Elena hesitated.
The two vampires' eyes grow wide at the doppelganger's decision. Elena walked over to the kitchen with Rose tailing hot on her heels.
Lyanna let's out a frustrated groan. "God damn."
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
Lyanna went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass and bottle of red wine from Slater's cabinet. "We're screwed big time." blunted the original. "Do you have any idea what you just have done." Lectured Rose.
She closed off the sound continued drinking her wine. Lyanna wasn't excited about the change of plans. What if those vampires recognize her and bring her to Klaus? She isolated herself so then her siblings or he would find her. Lyanna didn't want to be found. She didn't want to do anything for them or have their forgiveness.
Lyanna recalled the times where all her siblings and her getting along as a happy family. With no worries, just being human. Being free.
She's afraid of what he'll say to her all these years. What Elijah say, Rebekah, Kol, maybe Finn but he's been daggered ever since. Deep down she missed them, just a bit. But those days are long gone.
Those feelings and relationships she's had with each sibling vanished in thin air when they sided with him. All because they didn't want to be daggered.
Selfish
That's the word she would describe Klaus. The person she would refer to as Nik is long gone. She's now a headstrong person who has control of her own choices.
"Lyanna? you okay?" Elena rubbed the girls back. "Y-yeah, I'm okay I'm just thinking..." she reassured the worried girl. "I never really thought if I do run into Klaus, what will he do to me?"
Elena gave her a sympathetic look and hugged the small framed girl. "You have us now. Your Lyanna freaking Salvatore." Making the original crack a smile.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
Elena and Lyanna both were walking out of the kitchen when Damon comes out of nowhere, causing Elena to gasp and Lyanna to hit Damon in the face.
"What the hell?" Damon rubbed his jaw. "That's for scaring the crap out of us dickhead." Lyanna glared angrily at him. "What are you doing here?" Elena, bewildered how Damon could've found out.
"You told him!?" Elena faced Rose who nodded at Damon, before looking at Elena. "I'm sorry Elena," Rose apologized. You said that you understood." She spat. "She lied," Damon said. Rose was about to talk back but Lyanna silenced her.
"Damon Salvatore." Alice squeals.
"Get rid of her," Damon demanded. "Finally somebody says it." Lyanna exclaimed waving her hands in the air, causing Damon to put an arm around her shoulder.
"No...way." Alice continued on, in awe of the raven-haired vampire. Rose then dragged her off to another room. "Cmon we're leaving," Damon said. "No." Elena refused. "I said we're leaving." Damon steps closer to her face.
"I'm not going with you," Elena said. "You do not get to make decisions anymore," Damon said irritably. "Since when did I ever make a decision? You and Stefan do that for me." She stared at him. "Now this is my decision."
"Who's going to save your life while your out making decisions? more importantly, you're putting Lyanna at risk too!" Damon argued. He couldn't risk Lyanna getting caught in the past again. Not after she told stories about her days of falling in depression.
"You're not listening, Damon, I don't want to be saved." Elena bitterly replied. "Not if it means Klaus killing and losing everyone I love, even Lyanna." She has grown like the original in a short time.
"Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder Elena." Damon harshly told her. He grabs Elena's shoulder causing her to fight back, attempted to swing her fist at him.
Damon grabs her fist, preventing her from doing so. Damon looked at her closely in the eyes. "Don't ever do that again."
Lyanna watched as Damon lets go, walking away from Elena. She couldn't shake the thought of history repeating itself. Honestly, she just wished for neither brother to get hurt. But it seems fate had other plans stored in the future.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
"Time to go, Alice is sound asleep and won't remember a moment." Damon closed the doors behind him. "Of this horribly and stupidly day."
At that moment the doors bust open. Behind those doors, three vampires come inside the room. Lyanna looked away a bit so they wouldn't notice her. "We're here to meet the doppelganger." The one leading the group said. "
"Thank you for coming." Elena stepped forward. Lyanna reached out and pulls her back. "Over my dead body." she bitterly said.
"I will break your arm." Damon gritted his teeth. Elena glared back at him. "There is nothing for you here." Damon looked back at the vampires. Lyanna couldn't help but facepalm at his own idiocy.
"Damon bloody hell they can see her, are you stupid?" Lyanna retorted. Damon just shushed her waiting for them to say something. Her eyes burn with anger. "Don't shush me you prat!" she whispered-yelled.
Out of nowhere, the vampire's head snapped. Her eyes widen to see who was responsible. Elijah Mikaelson was standing right there. Damon tensed while Lyanna hid behind him. Elijah sped to the two vampires looking between the two.
Rose sped out of the room leaving Lyanna, Elena, and Damon to watch what will happen. Elijah stared at them while I hid behind Damon.
"I killed you, you were dead." Damon astounded. He swore he killed him. "For centuries now." Elijah simply replied, returning his focus to the two vampires. "Who are you?" he asked. "Who are you?" The vampire spat back.
'And he's screwed. You shouldn't have asked that mate' Lyanna thought.
"I'm Elijah." He said to the vampire. The vampire turned horrified at the noble original in front of him. "We were going to bring him to you." He stuttered. "For Klaus, she's the doppelganger." Elena gulped nervously.
"I don't know how she exists but she does." Looking between Elena and Elijah. "Klaus would want to see her." The vampire desperately said. Not wanting to be killed.
"Does anybody know your here?" Elijah questioned. "No." the vampire replied. "Well, you have been incredibly helpful." He ripped their hearts out, throwing them on the ground. The two vampires drop to the ground. Dead.
Lyanna gasped loudly making Elijah stop dead in his tracks. For some reason Elijah "Who is that behind you?" He addressed Damon. Damon jolted tightly held my arm. "No one." He told him. He couldn't risk Elijah hurting Lyanna. "Damon it's okay."
That voice caused Elijah's heart to melt. It couldn't be her.
Lyanna gave Damon a weak smile, stepping out from behind him. She moved the piece of hair blocking her face behind her ear. Lyanna walked forward trying to be brave. She did feel brave. But when It came to him she couldn't on the inside.
"Hello, Elijah. I believe it has been centuries. Don't you think so? After all, you did kick me out." Lyanna responded with a bit of sass.
Elijah felt himself freeze. The tears threaten to shed at the sight of her. His littlest sister after 500 years is standing before him. The original Heratic witch. Elijah had a hard time composing himself from breaking down. To not go over there to hug her.
"Lyanna." his voice cracked.
