I woke up to find myself in bed. The light shining through the window caused me
to bury my face in to the pillow my head had previously been rested on. I
froze. This wasn’t my pillow. I bolted upright and instantly her head ached in
protest of the sudden movement. I scanned the room, seeing a set of dark
mahogany bedside tables on either side of the matching four poster bed, and the
floor was dark mahogany with a black rug in the centre which the bed had been
placed. The walls were a matte black and there were a set of glass sliding
doors that led onto what looked like a balcony. I noted that there were also
another set of doors however these were white doors and there were also two
other doors. I sat there confused. How did I get here? The last thing I
remembered was being in the hospital.
===============================================================================
 I woke up in a room with wires attached to me. Confused as to where I was. A
nurse came in and told me I was in the hospital. I had attempted to leave but
she told me that I couldn’t because I had lost a lot of blood
I looked down and noticed a blood bag. I looked at her confused. “Wait you’re
taking my blood?” I asked, confused.
She had replied saying that it was “very important to my friend Klaus”.
I had started to panic when she injected me with something. Then it all went
black.
===============================================================================
I realised now that must have been a sedative. I felt weak and deducted that
Klaus must be behind this. I walked cautiously towards the door on the wall to
the right of me, guessing that it was the door that would lead me out of this
foreign room. I reached for the knob, half expecting it to be locked but was
surprised when I found it to be open.
The hall was long and white with paintings scattered along the walls. I saw six
other doors all the same as the one I had just shut. At the end of the hall was
a staircase. I went as quickly as I could, trying as hard as I could to be
silent. Just as I made it to the top of the staircase, a voice sounded from
behind me.
“And where do you think you’re going?” My hairs stood up and I stood there
unmoving, not wanting to see the owner of that voice. I knew that voice. The
voice that had been soothing once and had drew me in to make deal after deal.
Elijah.
***** Chapter 2 *****
 
Crap. I turned slowly to look at the man I once trusted with my life. He was
dressed in his usual black three piece suit but I noticed the top two buttons
of his dress shirt had been undone and his tie was nowhere to be seen. He
looked me up and down almost like a predator stares at their prey and I
suddenly became very aware that I was only wearing shorts and a tank top. I
shivered and in this moment I was more scared than I ever had been since the
day we first met in the abandoned house Rose had kept me in.
“Elena,” he snapped me out of my thoughts. He was looking at me with an annoyed
expression on his face and he had his arms crossed across his chest. “Where-Do-
You-Think-You-Are-Going?” He gritted through his teeth. As if I didn’t hear him
before.
I instantly became defensive and copied his pose. “Home. Where I’m supposed to
be.” I turned back towards the steps and began to descend down the staircase.
But before my foot could even touch the first step I felt a cold breeze go by
me and Elijah stood in front of me. “That isn’t a good idea Elena,” he dragged
the second E on as he always did when he spoke my name. “Niklaus needs you and
you know what he’ll do if he doesn’t get what he wants.”
Suddenly another voice spoke from behind me. It was one I didn’t recognise. It
held the same accent all the siblings did and it was male. “Right you are
brother. We have all witnessed at least one of Nik's little temper tantrums.”
I turned to see a boy who looked not a day older than 18. He looked like a
younger version of Elijah except he had a conniving glint in his eye and a
flirtatious smirk upon his sharp face. He must be the younger brother. He
noticed me staring at him and began to walk over. I stepped back and fell
against Elijah. I was trapped. “I’m Kol Mikaelson,” he grabbed my hand in a
gentle grip and brought it to his mouth and to my surprise he kissed it. I
flinched and attempted to pull it from if grasp but he held on to it like a
vice. “And you’ll do well to learn not to test me, doppelganger.” He squeezed
my hand one last time, satisfied when he heard a slight whimper of pain.
He then stalked back through the door he must have originally came from. I
sighed in relief and remembered I was leaning against Elijah. I quickly pulled
away from him and attempted to side step him. He grabbed my forearm,
effectively stopping me from escaping. “Let go Elijah,” I spoke with all the
strength I could muster up and to my surprise he dropped my arm. Just as I
thought he was letting me go he grabbed my side and forced me to look at him.
“Don’t ever tell me what to do. I am not one of your Salvatore brothers and the
time for making deals is over.” He whispered menacingly into my ear. And I was
suddenly aware how close he’d gotten to me. I pulled away as hard as I could.
But his grip never faltered. “If you try to escape Elena you won’t make it out
the door and I won’t be able to stop Niklaus from punishing you severely.” I
pulled away and he let me this time.
I didn’t care what he just said. I could at least try. I wasn’t just going to
give up because I was afraid. I was stronger than that. I continued to stomp
down the stairs. I swung the door open and went to step my foot outside. When I
was suddenly pulled back and the door was slammed shut.
I looked up to see yellow eyes staring me. Klaus. I cringed internally. His
eyes then returned back to their usual cold blue eyes. “Don’t do that again.”
He sounded so angry and I found myself backing away from him. I shook my head.
He wouldn’t kill me. He needed me.
I found myself feeling confident all of a sudden and I stood. He was still at
least a few inches taller than me. I put on the best smirk I had and I was
about to retort with some kind of snarky remark. But in that moment I saw
complete and utter rage in his eyes and I felt like running. And just as I was
about to he grabbed my wrist and I heard the familiar snap and white hot pain
flooded my senses.
“You tried to leave. Now you need to be punished.”
***** Chapter 3 *****
I cowered away from him but before I could even comprehend what was happening I
was thrown into a dark room. A basement maybe? The small light hanging on the
ceiling. My guess was confirmed. I felt eyes on me and shuddered. And I
realised I wasn’t alone. Klaus stood there menacingly staring at me like I was
just a piece of meat.
“I’ll go easy on you seeing as it is only natural instinct to run when you’re
captured,” he spoke as though he thought I should be grateful for his mercy.
Fat chance. He walked towards the far wall, which I now became aware that were
all sorts of whips, brass knuckles, chains and all kinds of sharp objects.
There were chains hanging from the ceiling. It was like one of the old torture
chambers that I’d learnt about in History.
I was terrified but I quickly went to hide it. “What is all this stuff? Is this
a kink Klaus? Is this something to do with your daddy issues?” I asked with
fake innocence with a slight wink. I knew I was just encouraging him but I
couldn’t help myself.
He flashed to be right in front of me. He had a murderous look in his eyes that
I’d only seen a couple times and it was the scariest thing I’d seen. He raised
his hand and I thought he was going to hit me but instead he grabbed both my
wrists and brought them up above my head. I attempted to pull them from his
grasp but it was in vain. Within a second he had my arms chained above my head
and I was raised slightly from the ground. “Ouch!” I couldn’t help but let out
a whimper as the cuffs dug into my skin.
I noticed he had a satisfied smirk on his face. “Oh my little sweet
doppelganger that is the least of your worries,” he said with fake sweetness as
he stroked my face. I recoiled in disgust and spat at him. He looked at me
disgusted and wiped the spit from his face with his sleeve. And he raised his
hand once again and struck me across my face. My face snapped to the side and I
felt tears spring in my eyes. I refuse to let them fall. I spat the blood that
had gathered in my mouth and spat it onto the floor.
I looked him straight in the eye. He had a satisfied look all over his face as
I felt something warm on my cheek. Blood I was guessing because I saw the veins
under his eyes make a slight appearance before almost immediately disappearing.
“Is that the worse you’ve got?” I regretted the words immediately as I saw a
Cheshire grin graced his face.
“Oh of course not little doppelganger.” I gritted my teeth at the nickname. Did
no one know my name? Or was I just an object to everyone? Klaus noticed the
gesture and somehow his smile widened. “As I said I’ll be lenient this time but
that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy myself a little,” he spoke as he turned to look
at the wall of horrors. He looked as though he were contemplating for a moment
till I heard him mutter an “ah ha.” He picked up one of the knives and turned
back to look at me.
He approached me slowly, predatorily. I retract my statement from earlier.
Thisis the scariest thing I’d ever experienced. Ad he neared I squeezed my eyes
shut ready for the blow to come. But I hung there for a minute and it never
came. I felt the cold hit my skin and goosebumps appeared in its wake. I
snapped my eyes open and my tops had been cut down the middle, my bare stomach
and bra clad breasts were subject to his hungry gaze. I felt my nipples harden
and I mentally scolded myself.
I closed my eyes again not wanting to see as he takes in my bare appearance. I
tried to imagine myself somewhere else but then I felt the coolness on the
blade upon my bare stomach and I screamed in pain as he pressed it further and
dragged causing what I imagined would be a deep cut. He repeated the action a
couple times before a voice sounded from behind him.
“Niklaus that is enough!” The unfamiliar voice boomed and echoed through the
cold dark basement. I opened my eyes to see a male figure standing at the top
of the stairs Klaus had taken me down. I couldn’t see their face because the
light behind him blinded me. I found myself attempting to cower away but it
only caused the shackles to dig in deeper and draw more blood.
“Oh don’t be a spoiled sport Finn. We were only having some fun, right Elena?”
He looked at me daring me to say no. I just nodded silently, staring at the
floor, afraid he’d hurt me more. “See brother. Anyway I have better things to
do so you can see that she is cleaned up and ready for dinner later on this
evening.
I heard footsteps moving away from me and towards the steps and then the two
brother conversing quietly. I looked up as I heard someone descending the
stairs and the man, Finn, was coming towards me. I felt terrified and
vulnerable. A whimper escaped my chapped lips.
“Hush child, I’ll take care of you,” he whispered as he moved closer slowly as
though he were approaching a scared animal. He undid the shackles and I was
ready to hit the floor but the blow never came, instead I felt two arms wrapped
around me. I looked up and saw that Finn was holding me bridal style. He began
walking me back upstairs and I hid my face in his chest scared that Klaus would
be up there. “Don’t worry he won’t hurt you,” he was reassuring me but I still
didn’t relax. I heard him whisper, “Oh what has he done to you.” Then I slipped
into unconsciousness.
===============================================================================
                                   Finn POV
I looked down at the young girl in my arms, Elena I’d heard my brothers call
her, she was so young and I hated that she had to go through such a painful
ordeal. Her top was in shreds and blood marred all the skin that I could see. I
took her to her room and contemplated what to do with her. I was torn. I didn’t
want to leave her coated in blood and in wrecked clothing but I didn’t want her
to feel as though she had no dignity left. I decided to wash the already drying
blood from the skin I could see and then leave her to rest.
I grabbed a bowl, filled with warm water, and a cloth from the adjoining
bathroom and began washing the matted blood from her body. Her body felt cold
and she’d gone pale from the blood loss. How could his brother be so cruel to
such a beautiful creature? She whimpered slightly whenever I’d touch one of the
many cuts Niklaus had made on her perfect soft skin. I had an inner argument
with myself and then made up my mind. I bit my wrist and allowed some drops of
my blood to escape and enter her mouth through her parted lips. She needed my
blood to heal. I was satisfied when I saw her swallow and I reluctantly left
the room. I would visit her in the morning to asses her condition. I shut the
door and turned around to go to my room when Elijah stopped me.
“What are your intentions with the lovely Elena,” he stared at me with narrowed
eyes. I found myself getting defensive. Why did he care?
“I was just caring for her after Niklaus made a mess of her,” I shrugged. He
stared at me for a moment as though he was considering my words and finally
reluctantly nodded. I walked past him and into my room which was opposite
Elena’s. I sat on the bed and considered my brothers words. What are my
intention with her? Why did I want to stay and make sure she was okay? I dreamt
that night of the angel named Elena.
===============================================================================
                                  Elijah POV
I really cared for the sweet Elena but why did I find myself jealous of Finn?
Elena and I were known to one another and we usually had a mutual
understanding, but I felt something I hadn’t felt in hundreds of years and I
wouldn’t let it get the better of me know. That night the face of all the
doppelgangers haunted me.
***** Chapter 4 *****
I awoke to the sound of birds singing and the morning sunlight bathing my face
from where it shone through the gap in the curtains. For a moment I thought I
was home. It only lasted a second though and then I remembered what happened
last night. I bolted upright and stared down at my flat stomach expecting to
see all blood and gore. But there was nothing. Not a spot of blood lay on my
golden skin. I was confused. Where did the blood and cuts go? I would’ve
thought it was just a bad dream if it wasn’t for my torn and blood soaked
clothes. My white shorts were now a deep crimson and it was the same story for
my tank top except it have multiple slashes and it was split in the middle. My
bra had some evidence of what had happened but not much. Did someone clean me
up?
===============================================================================
A man was carrying me.What was his name again? Finn. Finn was carrying me back
to my room. Then it all went black.
===============================================================================
Did he clean me up? I blushed at the thought of him touching me everywhere. And
where did my cuts go? He didn’t…? Did he? Oh my God. I started to feel nauseas.
A knock at my door brought me out of my thoughts. A moment later the man of my
thoughts walked in.
I could now get a better look at my saviour. He had dark brown hair that
bordered on black that also graced his jaw in the form of stubble. He had
caramel eyes with green flecks that hold so much pain. He also had the same
tanned skin that Elijah and Kol have. He wore dark blue jeans with a green v-
neck.
He cleared his throat bringing my attention to his face. “I see you’re feeling
better.” I blushed remembering my state of undress. He noticed and attempted to
lessen my embarrassment by turning his head away from me. “I didn’t think it
was my place to change your clothes.” He then stuck his arm towards me handing
me a white fluffy dressing gown that I didn’t notice before.
“Thank you,” I mumbled quietly. The dressing gown felt like clouds against my
skin. “Did you… feed me your blood last night?” I stuttered slightly. I felt
very uncomfortable as he moved his gaze back on me.
“Yes, I apologise that I didn’t ask your permission but you were in very bad
shape and your pulse was extremely low,” he paused, “and I was afraid you’d
die.” He looked down at his feet as he finished his sentence. I could see that
he felt uncomfortable and was genuinely sorry for what he did even though he
saved my life.
“It’s fine, I actual want to thank you,” his head shot up at that, “you saved
me you deserve my thanks.” He nodded slowly at that, taking my words in. “What
do you want anyway?” I attempted to ask without sounding too offensive.
He seemed to hesitate a moment, “uh, I was wondering if you’d join me for
breakfast?” He looked anxious and was avoiding my gaze.
“Yes I would, I just need to get decent first.” He turned his back to me at
that, preparing for me to get undressed. I suddenly realised I had no clothes.
“Um… I have no clothes.”
“The double doors lead to a closet and there should be clothes that fit your
liking.” He said still with his back to me.
“Thank you.” I opened the white doors to find a walk in closet filled with
dresses of every colour, material and style. In the back there were tops and
shirts and all sorts of trousers and shorts. They all seemed to be in my size
and it creeped me out immensely. How long had they been planning this? It made
me feel nauseous. I decided on a pair of dark blue jeans and a black Nirvana t-
shirt. I changed quickly and walked back out. As I came out Finn turned
obviously hearing me coming. He looked me up and down and I noticed the corner
of his mouth twitch slightly. “Shall we go?”
He nodded and opened the door. He led me down the stairs and into a grand
dining room with three large bay windows and a grand chandelier hanging from
the centre of the ceiling. In the centre there was one those overly long dining
tables. And sitting at it were the four beings that I disliked most. Klaus sat
at the head of the table and when he noticed me he grinned and stood up. That
brought the rest of the sibling’s attention towards me. Kol smirked, Rebekah
scowled and Elijah stayed emotionless as always. I felt Finn stiffen slightly
next to me and Klaus approached.
“Elena! I trust you slept well,” I saw some unknown emotion flash in his eyes.
He grabbed my shoulders, causing me to flinch.
“Actually I did, thanks to Finn.” I turned my head towards him, noticing that
he had a slight smile on his face. Klaus dropped his hands from my shoulders
and to his sides. “He took great care of me,” I smirked as I saw Klaus’ smile
falter slightly at that. Kol’s smirk grew, Elijah looked slightly angry and
Rebekah’s attention was on her food seemingly uncaring of the conversation
occurring in front of her.
“I bet he did,” Elijah said under his breath, causing everyone’s head to snap
towards him. Finn was glaring at him and I was confused. What did he mean by
that? And why did he sound jealous. I shook my head slightly, annoyed at my
thoughts. Elijah was now my enemy. He didn’t stop Klaus and he didn’t care
about my situation. In fact he seemed to like that I was now trapped here.
Kol’s voice broke the silence that followed Elijah’s unexpected outburst, “ah
brother don’t sound so upset. Finn was just doing what you didn’t. How do you
feel this morning sweetheart?” I shivered at the pet name and he must have
noticed because he winked at me.
“Well considering just last night I was cut to the point of death and I’m stuck
in a horror mansion with a dysfunctional family of homicidal vampires I’m
great,” I spoke with hate and venom in my voice. Al the siblings seemed to
tense at what I’d just called them and I looked into Klaus’ eyes which had
darkened slightly. He was livid. I reversed slightly and Finn grabbed my hand,
sensing my fear. He pulled me towards him away from his angry half-brother.
Finn spoke noticing how Klaus was staring at me, “Niklaus leave the poor girl
alone. You can’t expect her to just accept what has happened to her in just the
past 24 hours.” Klaus snapped his head towards Finn ready to start a fight but
suddenly changed his mind somehow, understanding what Finn had just said.
“Of course brother, I wouldn’t hurt her after last night, that’d be a bit
excessive,” Klaus turned his attention to me, “so Elena would you like
something to eat.” He made me feel uneasy at the word ‘eat’ because he looked
me up and down taking in my appearance, sizing me up to do just that.
I nodded and Finn took me to sit on the seat next to him before Klaus could
grab my other hand. Klaus looked angry at that as he glared at us before moving
to sit in his own seat. Almost instantly a tray of food, two pots and a mug,
and a jug of what looked like orange juice with a glass was put in front of me.
I noticed Finn had an extra jug and glass that looked like blood. I gagged
slightly at the sight of it. On a plate in the centre there was scrambled egg,
toast, black pudding (ew), fried tomatoes and mushrooms, sausages, and bacon.
There was also a small bowl of fruit. In one of the pots there was coffee and
the other there was tea. I decided to just eat the toast, tomatoes and the
fruit and drank the glass of orange juice.
I went to stand up but Klaus’ voice stopped me. “I need to talk to you Elena
before you go running off to your room.” I turned my attention to him and Finn
stiffened beside me and grabbed my hand, turning to look at his brother and he
held my hand reassuringly. I trusted Finn.
“Why do you wish to talk to her brother?” Finn asked suspicious of his
brother’s intentions.
“Well I guess she wants to know exactly why she’s here. Why do you care
brother?” Klaus asked smirking.
“I was going to give her a tour of the house is all,” Finn shrugged and
squeezed my hand slightly.
“Okay well you can have her back once I’m done with her. If you’d like to
follow me doppelganger.” I wish he’d stop calling me that. He got up and waited
for me. I walked towards him and he held out his hand towards me. When I didn’t
take it he sighed and snatched my hand in an iron strong grip. I gasped at the
pain that it brought forth. I heard a chair drop behind me and Klaus looked
towards the source of the noise and smirked. I guessed it was Finn. But then
instead of his voice I heard someone I didn’t expect to hear at all.
“Nik leave the girl alone,” the voice growled. It was Kol. What the hell?! Did
all the men in this family somehow go nice overnight? Well except for Klaus of
course. He’d always be a dick. After what seemed like hours of silence, but
what literally would’ve only been about a minute Klaus loosed his grip slightly
and began walking out of the room, literally dragging me behind him. He dragged
me back up the stairs and into a room that had multiple paintings scattered
around the dark room, a desk and a bed. This must be the object of my hatreds
room.
“So Elena…”
***** Chapter 5 *****
                                  Klaus’ POV
I was watching her as she took in my bedroom/studio. She looked so entranced as
she revised the details of my paintings. She looked…dare I say…cute. I shook my
head to get rid of my thoughts. She was just a doppelganger. She just reminds
me of Tatia. I brought her here to tell her my intentions.
“So…Elena,” I spoke to try to gain her attention and it worked because as she
was brought from her trance she stared at me with pure hatred. She cocked her
eyebrow at me expectantly. “I brought you here because I need you so I can
continue to make my army of hybrid and I’m afraid that being with those
Salvatore’s and the rest of your little gang could lead to you being killed or
turned before you can provide a child to carry on the Petrova line.”
Her eyes went wide with shock and she cut me off. “I will not have curse one of
my descendants to a life of vampires just because they’re related to me,” she
spoke with such venom as she stalked towards me and poked my chest with her
finger at ‘vampire’ and it angered me that she had the audacity to challenge
me.
I grabbed her wrist, “you didn’t let me finish.” She winced and my grip and I
loosened it slightly. “You don’t have to have a child, but if you do not you
will have to spend the rest of your human life with my family and I. It’s your
choice, however if you stay here you will have to act as one of the family and
I will take a litre of blood every two weeks.”
She seemed to consider for a moment and pulled her wrist from my grasp, I made
no move to take it again even though she shouldn’t have done that so harshly,
“I will stay here however you have to go by my terms.” She spoke with
confidence. Here she is, the deal maker Elijah’s always talking about, and
always so selfless. I cocked my brow half in amusement and half in interest.
She took that as her sign to continue, “You will take a litre of my blood a
month and I get to go back to school again.”
I considered the pros and cons, the blood wasn’t an issue however letting her
go back to school was risky, the ‘Scooby’ gang might attempt to save her and
that’s a large issue, “fine I’ll take only a litre of blood a month however I
will consider you going back to school but you can’t just yet I can’t trust
your friends not to pull a rescue mission and if you go back Rebekah and Kol
will go with you.”
Her eyes narrowed at my last condition, “fine.” I smiled, satisfied at her
answer. I was about to dismiss her as I turned my back to her. “How long have
you been planning this?” I was slightly taken aback by her sudden question.
I straightened myself quickly and turned back to her. “Well since I found out
your blood was the key to creating my hybrids. It didn’t give me much time to
plan it but you were out for a long time so it gave us enough time to get
clothes of your size,” I considered for a moment, “and Elijah requested we get
a diary for you.” Her eyes widened for a moment clearly shocked at that. “You’d
have to ask Elijah for it though as he insisted on keeping it with him for some
unknown reason.” I knew why though, he clearly had a little crush on my
doppelganger and he wanted some time alone with her.
She nodded slowly, “may I leave now?” She clearly felt uncomfortable in my
presence, I don’t blame her I did kill her aunt and even her once, and turned
her friend Tyler into a hybrid.
“Yes you may, and dinner is at 7.” I watched her leave and suddenly had the
urge to paint. I sat at a clear canvas. I started painting the young girl who
just left me feeling the same passion that I hadn’t had in years. Why did I
feel this way towards her? Or was it just her looks that drew me in? She was
truly beautiful and her eyes held such innocence that neither Katerina nor
Tatia had. She was much more passionate and kind than her ancestors. Katerina
was deceiving and seductive. And Tatia was conniving. Katerina and Tatia were
similar like that and they both enjoyed the company of two brothers and putting
them against each other. Whereas Elena really did love both Salvatore’s. I
found myself angered at that, Damon was just as bad as I was so why did she
hate me but love him? I continued to paint as my thoughts took me into a
completely different world. I had gotten angry earlier at all of my brothers
protective actions to her. I knew Elijah had something for her, possibly
because of her heritage, but Kol and Finn never showed interest in either of
the other doppelgangers in the past so why did they want her. I have to admit I
was a bit jealous. I wasn’t completely honest with her. I wanted her here
because I wanted to protect her and I felt some weird attraction to her.
I know I’d gone a little too hard on her yesterday and I should’ve stopped a
long time before Finn made me. She just aggravated me so much at the mention of
my father. I couldn’t help myself from looking at her bare chest though and her
nipples hardened at the cold through her lace bra. She looked so sexy chained
up with her chest bared to me and I even found myself hardening just at the
thought of it. Go what I wouldn’t do to have her completely bare and begging
for me. I shook my head, disgusted at my thoughts. I turned back to the
painting willing my erection to go away. I painted her deep dark chestnut waist
length hair framing her heart shaped face, with her compassion filled auburn
almond shaped eyes and he plumped lips with a crimson lipstick. She was a
tanned goddess. Aphrodite would be jealous. I painted her wearing a black gown
that hugged her curves and her perky round breasts, with a slit up the side
that reached her hips and showed of her long slender legs. She looked perfect.
I found myself aroused again and paged one of the servants. I didn’t know her
name but I knew she was attractive and I’d used her before for both feeding and
pleasurable reasons. She entered my room. She had wavy blonde hair and blue
eyes, she looked a lot like the doppelgangers friend, Caroline. I had been
pursuing her for a while now in the hopes I could woo her into my bed but it
wasn’t working, she was one of those stubborn girls and she was also taken by
Tyler who she claimed to love. I didn’t have the time or effort for that
especially just for a one night stand.
“Take your clothes off,” I commanded and I removed my clothes as she did. She
stood there bare to me but she wasn’t as attractive as the lovely goddess who
was now in my brothers company I assume. It angered me that she was with him.
“On your knees,” she complied and I walked towards her my arousal straight in
front of me, I stopped when I was only an inch away from her. “Now suck,” She
wrapped her lips around my rock hard cock and bobbed it up and down, I closed
my eyes and imagined a brunette with tanned skin in her place. I felt the coil
build in my stomach as she licked and sucked at my dick and pulled her off me
and threw her onto the bed with no elegance at all. I didn’t care though. She
meant nothing to me other than a fuck. I climbed onto the bed after her in the
blink of an eye and pushed her onto her hand and knees. I tied her hands to the
bedpost with my previously abandoned belt. I pushed into her heat with no
hesitation and pumped in and out, hearing her moan in pain and pleasure. I
imagined it as the angelic voice that was Elena’s and I found myself moving
quicker and almost at vampire speed as my nails dug into the girl hips. I felt
her hip break under my finger tips and she cried in pain but I didn’t care and
just carried on fucking her. I suddenly shuddered and I came deep inside her,
still pumping in and out of her. I bit into her neck and I felt her go limp and
her heart stopped. I pulled my fangs from deep in her carotid artery and pulled
out of her. I knew she was dead but it didn’t matter. I got some boxers on and
paged two of the other servants to come and get her from my quarters.
Once she was removed I went into the shower. What the fuck was that? Why was I
thinking of her when I had a beautiful girl in front of me. The fact I just
thought of the newest doppelganger that way both disgusted and angered me
immensely. I punched the wall in my anger and the tiles broke under the force.
She’s just an object to me. All I want from her is her blood. She means
nothing. I continued to convince myself of her insignificance to me until the
water went cold. I stepped out, still angry at my thoughts. I dried myself off
and as I was dressing a shrill scream pierced the air.
Elena…
***** Chapter 6 *****
                                   Elena POV
As I exited Klaus’ room I felt myself get angry. My friends could protect me
and it was this family that I needed to be protected from for fucks sake. And
why was he looking at me like I was a piece of meat? I guess I am really but
there was something else in his eyes that scared me even more. I shook my head,
clearing on my thoughts and trying to plan my day. I was walking up the stairs
to go to my room but I was so deep in thought that I didn’t notice the next
step. Before I could even register what was happening I was falling backwards.
Before I could hit the floor, I felt a strong protective arm wrap around me.
I turned around to thank my saviour but when I realised who it was I instantly
attempted to slip out of their grasp but he wouldn’t budge. “Watch yourself
darling, you wouldn’t want to bruise that beautiful body of yours,” Kol
whispered in my ear, causing goose bumps to appear all over my skin. I
struggled against him once again but to no avail.
“Finn will be waiting for me,” I stated hoping he’d not want to anger his older
brother and to my enjoyment he huffed and actually let me go. As soon as his
arm was removed from my body I practically ran to my room and away from Kol. I
slammed my door shut and slumped against it. What was with this family and
aggravating me? Finn has been the only one who’s been genuinely nice to me. I
had thought that Elijah was like him but I couldn’t have been more wrong. He’s
a lot more like Klaus than he’d like to admit. I slipped down to the floor and
let my thoughts engulf me. As I thought of Jeremy and my friends, tears began
to drip down my face and I broke into a sob. A knock at the door caused me to
jump up.
“Come in,” my voice broke and Finn came in with a concerned look on his face.
He opened his mouth to speak till he took in my appearance and he walked over
and brought me into his arms. I felt my legs give way and before I could fall
Finn picked me up bridal style and sat on the bed. I had my head on his chest
and he stroked my hair, whispering sweet nothings in my ear. We sat there for
what felt like hours but in reality was probably only minutes. I felt safe with
Finn. I know I shouldn’t let my guard down like this with them but while I’m
here I could do with friends and Finn seemed like the only nice one in this
dysfunctional family.
===============================================================================
“Would you like to take a walk around the grounds today? Or would it suit you
better to stay in bed and, what is it that girls like to do today? Eat ice
cream and watch movies?” I was surprised he was giving me the option and I was
tired.
“Can I just stay in bed today?” I wasn’t up for seeing the other siblings more
than I had to. He nodded and got up to leave. “Please stay with me?” He looked
taken aback by my question but then it quickly changed to a smile and he
nodded. “I just have to do something quickly and I’ll get some pyjamas on, I
suggest you do the same.”
He smile, “okay, I’ll go get the ice cream and get some sleepwear.” Then he
picked up the remote from the bedside table that I hadn’t noticed before. He
pressed a button on the remote and a TV appeared at the foot of the bed. My
eyes widened, I’d never seen something like that. And Finn must’ve noticed
because he started chuckling. “I’ll be back,” he said and he walked out of the
door. When the door shut I jumped up and walked over to the walk in closet. I
put on a pair of Garfield pyjamas which consisted of some trousers and a short
sleeved top. I opened the door and suddenly realised I didn’t know which room
was Elijah’s. Almost on cue Elijah opened his door.
He didn’t notice me at first but when I cleared my throat his head instantly
snapped in my direction. “Oh hello Elena, can I help you?” He spoke while
taking my appearance, a slight smile on his face as he noticed my cartoon
inspired attire.
“Actually Klaus said you had something for me,” I said confidently, I wouldn’t
let him see that I’d just bared my emotions. I didn’t trust him. He nodded and
gestured for me to follow him as he walked back into his room. I was hesitant
to follow but eventually thought that I was being stupid. They couldn’t kill
me. Unless they wanted to face the wrath of Klaus. And I knew exactly how
painful a torture session with him could be.
His room was a satin grey, he had a king size bed similar to the one in my
room, it was covered in a crimson bedspread that matched his curtains and there
was a black chaise longue at the foot of the bed. He led me through another
door that led into a library/studio. There must have been over a thousand books
in here. In the middle there was a desk and there was a window seat. Elijah
cleared his throat bringing me from me admiring of the many books surrounding
me. When I looked at him he was smiling and holding up a leather bound book
with my name engraved on the front. I held my hand out for him to pass it to me
but instead he walked closer until his face was only 5 inches away from my own.
I resisted the urge to back up. He placed it in my hand and the leather felt
cold against my warm skin.
“I had it specially made. It’s Italian leather,” he broke the awkward silence.
“Thank you,” I went to leave but he grabbed my wrist and I by instinct flinched
from the action. He must’ve notice because he let go of my wrist and shoved
both of his hands into his trouser pockets. He looked at the ground awkwardly.
“You can come here whenever you like. I know you have a passion for books.” He
took me back with that. How did he know I loved reading? Had he been watching
me? I suddenly felt very vulnerable.
“Thank you,” I repeated and went to walk away once again when I felt a cold
breeze pass me and suddenly Elijah was right in front of me, “Elijah…” I
trailed off.
He reached up and ran his thumb along my cheek, all the while staring into my
eyes, “you’re so beautiful,” I found myself getting angry because I knew what
he meant, I looked like them. He sees me as Tatia. Before I could announce my
displeasure his mouth was on mine. My body betrayed me and I began kissing him
back. His hand on my butt brought me out of my trance and I pushed him away and
slapped him. I moved past him and through to the hall.
I ran to my room, hoping Finn was waiting for me but I was disappointed that he
wasn’t back yet. I decided to go find him. I stalked down the stairs. Why did
he do that? I felt so disgusted with myself. When I reached the bottom of the
stairs I realised I didn’t know where anything was in this house. I walked into
the dining room, guessing that it’d be my best bet to find the kitchen. I was
correct I walked through the door that the waiters from earlier came out of.
The kitchen was very large and looked similar to one of those fully metal
kitchens you see in restaurants.
I looked for Finn and I found him by the microwave. He was topless and in grey
sweatpants. He had a body like a god and I noticed he had a tattoo on his right
peck. It was a sword with a snake around it. I made a mental note to ask him
about it later. He smiled when he noticed me.
“I was just making some popcorn,” he stated, then he took in my appearance,
“what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” I didn’t want him to think bad of me so I decided it’d be best
to keep it to myself. We stood there in silence until the sound of the
microwave beeping signalled that the popcorn was ready. Then Finn walked over
to the freezer and pulled out a big pot of bubblegum ice cream. I grinned, that
was my favourite flavour. He passed me the popcorn and I took it one hand and I
grabbed his hand with the other. We walked in the direction of the stairs but
when we reached the bottom of the stairs I suddenly stopped. I screamed and the
last thing I heard was my name being shouted then it all went black...
***** Chapter 7 *****
I woke up to a splitting headache and instantly reached for my head. When I
felt a warm liquid against my fingers I opened my eyes and attempted to look at
them but found that my vision was extremely blurry. I blinked my eyes trying to
get rid of the grogginess.
“She’s waking up!” I heard a voice say from above me. Wait I know that voice.
That’s Kol’s voice. Why did he sound so concerned. In the next moment four
figures were looming over me and I blinked repeatedly till the blurriness
dissipated. Above me loomed Elijah, Kol, Finn and Klaus. Why were they looking
at me like I was a puppy at a pet shop?
“Can you hear me love?” Klaus asked and I nodded, disliking the fretful
expression on his face. I noticed that Elijah was holding my right hand and
that Kol was holding the other.
“What happened?” I asked pulling my hands from the two men’s grasp, more
sharply than I meant it to be. I reached out for Finn hoping he’d help me
recover from whatever had just occurred. But before Finn could help me, I found
myself in Klaus’ arms. I was too weak to fight him so I just allowed him to
carry me and place me on the large sofa. He kneeled on the floor absentmindedly
stroke the hair away from my face. I repeated my question from earlier, willing
them to answer me.
“Well you saw Niklaus’ lunch,” Finn spat angrily, glaring at Klaus all the
while. I’d never seen him this way. I was suddenly confused. And Klaus flinched
at his brother’s harsh tone. Why would lunch make me faint? My eyes widened as
it came back to me.
===============================================================================
There were two men walking down the stairs carrying something. I strained my
neck to look and when I spotted the naked young blonde woman, who looked so
much like Caroline. When I noticed how pale she was and the blood and fresh
bruises that marred her flesh I felt nauseous. Then it all went black.
===============================================================================
I suddenly felt nauseous again and for a moment I was scared I was going to
faint again. I flinched away from Klaus’ touch and he stood seemingly angry at
Finn’s blunt honesty. In a moment Kol took his place and began wiping away the
blood that must’ve covered my hair. He inspected the wound and seemed to have a
mental battle with himself until he bit into his wrist and offered me it. I
hesitated. I was going to refuse until another wave of pain shot through my
head.
I wrapped my lips around the already healing wound and sucked. Once the blood
hit my tongue I turned into a mad woman. My hands captured the area
surrounding, holding him in place. I moaned at the taste. It was like chocolate
with a slight metallic taste. I felt myself become aroused. I only stopped when
the wound had completely healed. I pulled away reluctantly with what I can only
guess was a bright red flushed face. What was that? Finn, Elijah and Klaus were
all staring at me shocked, interested and predatorily. Kol was staring at me
with almost black eyes that projected lust. He looked like he was on drugs. I
felt like I was their prey. I began to get scared and instinctively backed
away. They still all kept their eyes on me.
“Finn?” He didn’t answer. “Elijah?” No reply. “Kol?” Nothing. “Klaus?” Nothing
but silence. “You’re scaring me,” I pleaded and it seemed to work because it
was Finn who snapped out of the lust trance first. And then almost at the same
time the other brother’s came back to reality also. We still all remained in an
awkward silence though.
“What the hell was that?” Kol exclaimed, sounding like a little kid, voicing
all of our thoughts.
“I don’t know but I’ll try to look for something about it in my books and I’ll
contact my witch friends,” Elijah replied seemingly still deep in thought. We
somehow slipped back into uncomfortable silence, barely noticing that Elijah
had left the room, followed by Klaus and eventually Kol.
“Do you still wish to stay in bed all day?” Finn asked suddenly and I smiled at
him and nodded. He held his hand out to me. “Sadly you dropped our popcorn so
that’s off the table,” he joked, trying to lighten the mood, and I’d be lying
if I said it didn’t make me feel a little better. He led me to my room and
brought me to my bed. I crawled into the middle of the bed and waited for Finn
to join me and when he did I rested my head against his bare chest. He pressed
a couple buttons on the remote from earlier. “So what will it be?”
I thought for a minute “It’s A Boy Girl Thing”. He complied and half an hour
later, a quarter way through the ice cream and deep into Finn’s complaints that
it was highly improbably that that’s how body swapping would occur, a knock
sounded at the door and Kol sauntered in.
“What are you doing?” He enquired. He seemed genuinely intrigued and slightly
bored.
“Watching movies,” I replied without taking my eyes away from the screen.
“Can I join?” Yep he was definitely bored.
“Fine” “No” Finn and I responded in unison. Kol grinned and went to go on the
other side of me.
“You’ll need to wear something more comfortable than jeans.” I scolded gently
and then he smiled and darted off like a little kid. Finn must’ve noticed my
amusement because I was completely taken aback by his next statement.
“He was only 18 when he was turned, you’d think he’d have grown up by now but I
guess being an eternal teenager isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.” He spoke
with a distant look in his eyes and before I could reply Kol came bouncing in.
He wore basketball shorts and a white vest. Why were all the men in this family
so hot? I blushed slightly at where my thoughts had lingered off to. He climbed
into the other side of the bed and I removed my head from Finn’s chest to place
it on the void of pillows between the two men that surrounded me. I went to get
a spoon of ice cream when suddenly Kol swept in and ate the spoon of ice cream
meant for me. He looked at me with a cheerful smirk and I just shook my head.
He reminded me so much of Jeremy. Jeremy… No I couldn’t let myself breakdown in
front of these monsters again. We stayed like that all day, watching movie
after movie, Kol or Finn occasionally stealing my spoon of ice cream and I felt
asleep thinking the same thing that had stuck in my mind for hours.
What did I just sign myself up for?
***** Chapter 8 *****
“Darling you need to wake up now,” I groaned and snuggled closer to the body
next to me. Wait body? My eyes shot open and I found myself staring into the
chestnut eyes that belonged to none other than Kol. My body was pressed flush
with his. I felt two arms around my waist. I backed away with the intention of
getting up but I bumped into something else behind me. It groaned. I strained
my neck to look at the object that was blocking my exit. It was Finn and he was
also staring at me. I was trapped.
“How did you sleep Elena?” He asked while eyeing the lack of space between him
and me, and Kol and me. He smirked and I felt one of the arms around me tighten
and I was pulled impossibly closer to Finn. I gasped, I could feel something
hard pressed against my arse and I turned in their arms and pulled away from
Finn, just to have the same feeling. Finn moved closer and I was truly trapped
between them.
“Fine thank you,” I replied. I looked at Finn only to see that he had his eyes
fixed above me so I looked at Kol just to see the same. They were looking at
each other with mischievous glints in their eyes. The seemed to be having a
silent conversation. They looked at me and both had identical smirks plastered
across their faces. I felt their hands moving along my body. I froze. They
wouldn’t…would they? Then they were tickling me, I squealed and laughed
uncontrollably. They didn’t stop, they only chuckled as I tried to move away.
I was screaming now. I was extremely ticklish and they seemed to know exactly
where they could get the best reactions from me. I heard the door slam open and
we all turned our heads to see Klaus and Elijah eyeing us suspiciously. The
boys hadn’t stopped in their ministrations. And I was still trying to escape
and laughing. Elijah and Klaus were laughing at their brother’s actions.
“Please, help!” I shouted to no one in particular.
“Come on, let the girl breathe,” Klaus was the one who finally took pity on me.
Finn and Kol removed their hands from me and moved off the bed. I rolled onto
my back and then I was upright with my legs around a body. I opened my eyes and
saw Klaus’ chiselled face. I never noticed how different he looked to his
brothers. “Now what do I get in return?” He asked with a cheeky smile. His eyes
flickered down to my lips and there was a trio of sighs from around us.
“Ugh nothing.” I tried to unwrap my legs from around him but found that he had
a strong grip on them. He raised his eyebrow at me and I rolled my eyes. I went
to kiss his cheek but at the last minute he turned his head and his lips ended
up on mine. I pulled away instantly and had to supress the urge to slap the
smug look off his face. He looked at each of the brothers that surrounded us
with a smirk on his face. Then he let go of my legs and steadied me when I
stumbled slightly. I looked at the men around me and they all held a similar
expression. Anger. Why were they so angry? They didn’t own me. They were just
as bad as Stefan and Damon. My heart ached for the Salvatore siblings. My face
fell into a frown and I felt tears spring in my eyes.
“Dinner’s in half an hour Elena, I hope you’ll join us,” Elijah finally spoke,
I had avoided looking at him since he kissed me earlier but this time I looked
him right in the eye. He must’ve noticed my impending breakdown because his
face instantly became concerned.
“We’ll see you at dinner,” Finn snapped us out of our trance. They all went to
leave the room except Elijah.
“I’ll follow you down in a minute,” he told them, sensing their questioning
gazes. They all left at that and Elijah spoke to me, “Elena I’m sorry for my
actions this morning, I shouldn’t have done that, “he looked at the ground and
I knew he was truly sincere.
“Thank you for your apology, now I need to get some more suitable attire on,”
He nodded and left me after making several backwards glances. He shut my door
on his way out. And I walked into the closet and almost collapsed. I fell
apart. I wished that I wasn’t the doppelganger. I wished I’d never known about
vampires. I need to get out of here.
===============================================================================
Once I managed to pull myself together I put on a black skater dress and
matching ballet pumps. I walked to the bathroom and pulled my hair into a
ponytail and wiped the tears from my face. I noticed some drawers by the sink
and curiosity took the better of me and I looked in each drawer. In the top
were tampons and pads, in the middle one there were different types of makeup
and in the bottom there were hair straighteners, curlers and hair ties. I
imagined one of the brothers buying all of this stuff and laughed slightly. The
mighty Originals buying tampons.
I decided to put on some simple makeup, I used some nude eyeshadows, mascara
and lip balm. Once I checked myself over once again, I prepared myself for the
awkward dinner I was about to walk into. I prayed I wouldn’t breakdown once
again and decided I’d take Finn up on the offer of a tour of the house and
grounds. If I was going to escape I’d need to find a route. I didn’t
particularly want to leave Finn, I really liked him and I was even warming up
to Kol, but their siblings were going to make this hell for me and I needed my
friends.
===============================================================================
I walked to the dining room and found that all the siblings were already
seated, in the same places that they were this morning.
“Ahh Elena, I’m glad you decided to join us,” Klaus spoke cheerfully. “May I
say you look positively ravishing tonight,” he winked at me. I blushed
slightly. I took my seat in between Kol and Finn. They both smiled when I did
so.
“So what’s for dinner?” I inquired.
“Spaghetti Bolognese, am I right to believe you have no conflict when it comes
to meat?” Klaus was actually being nice. Was he bipolar or something? I nodded
and he smiled. “Good.” Only a moment later the food was brought in.
“This is delicious, who’s the chef? I would like to thank them,” it truly was
delicious.
“Actually, it was Elijah who cooked this particular meal,” Klaus answered, why
did he look so smug? I looked towards Elijah completely surprised but he kept
his eyes upon his plate.
“Well thank you Elijah, this is truly delightful, I didn’t know you cooked,” he
still didn’t look at me.
“Really? Elijah here is quite the connoisseur. He cooks most of our meals even
though we have a personal chef, it’s one of his hobbies,” Elijah was staring a
Klaus and if looks could kill Klaus would have already been desiccated on the
ground. Why was he so angry?
“Well I am quite the baker myself,” I looked at Elijah and finally he looked
back.
“Well maybe one day you can make dessert, if you wish,” Elijah offered. I
nodded grateful he gave me the choice.
“I would LOVE to taste what Elena has to offer,” Kol spoke, making sure to add
extra enthusiasm to the ‘love’ part of his sentence and at the same time he put
his hand on my thigh. I gasped slightly and Finn looked at me concerned. I
smiled reassuringly and held his hand, glad fully he ate with his left hand so
both of us could still eat. I tried to get his hand off without drawing
attention to myself but every time I moved his hand would move further up my
thigh. I stopped trying when his hand brushed my panties slightly. I looked at
him disapprovingly. I tried my best to just carry on eating but every now and
then he’d brush my pussy. I was beginning to get aroused and I’m pretty sure
they all noticed because all the men at the table were staring at me lustfully
and confused except Kol he just kept eating with a smirk on his face. Rebekah
was looking at me with a disgusted look on her face.
“Kol do you really have to make the bitch horny at the dinner table?” Rebekah
spoke with venom in her voice. I blushed bright red.
“Oh Bekah I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he looked at her and
smirked. He removed hand from my thigh and made a point of pressing harder on
my clit. I gasped and suppressed a moan but they all noticed because Rebekah
gagged very loudly and the men looked lustful towards me but angry at Kol as he
held his hands up in surrender as he smirked. I was sure I looked like a
tomato. I was going to kill Kol later.
Rebekah left the room after that, something about she can’t eat with animals. I
would’ve followed if I didn’t need to go for a tour to plan an escape route. I
decided to ignore their lustful gazes, “so which one of you is going to show me
around the house?” I expected none of them to wish to but at the same time they
all shouted “ME!” I had a decision to make, “well I think I’ll take Finn.” Kol
was too flirty, Elijah I didn’t trust in case he kissed me again, and Klaus
could snap at any time and I couldn’t bare being in his company. Finn was the
obvious choice.
Finn nodded and smiled down at me before smirking at his brother, and all the
other males groaned in disappointment. Were they competing to get my affection?
I really thought so at this point. We finished our meal without another word. I
and Finn stood up to go on our walk.
***** Chapter 9 *****
Chapter Notes
     There is some triggering content in this chapter which includes self-
     harm.
“Would you like to see the grounds first? Or would you like me to show you
around the house?” Finn inquired after exiting the tense atmosphere of the
dining room. I considered for a moment.
“I think it would be more reasonable to show me the house first and then we can
move onto the grounds,” I answered. He nodded, smiled and began walking.
After showing me around the house, he brought me through a set of glass double
doors at the rear of the house, that weren’t locked, and I was instantly hit
with the cold night air. I shivered slightly and Finn must’ve noticed because
he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and brought me closer towards the heat
of his body. His body heat acted like a cocoon of warmth. I snuggled closer to
him and he smiled. The garden was beautiful. It was surrounded by a tall wall
and I could spot the tops of some trees at the top. There was a water fountain,
in the middle at the back of the house, which had stone cherubs playing in the
middle.
Finn pulled me towards the fountain and we sat on the bench that was behind it.
The fountain, I know noticed, was made of marble as was the bench. I laid my
head on his shoulder and we sat there in comfortable silence. I’d have to get
over the wall to escape as the only space to exit was a gate as tall as the
wall and I’m sure that it’d be locked. I thought I’d use the door we’d came
from as it seemed like the only unlocked door I’d seen.
“I’m sorry Elena but it won’t work,” he startled me from my thoughts. I looked
at him surprised and scared but he was looking at the fountain seemingly deep
in thought. Could he read my thoughts?
“What…?” I started. He looked at me.
“I know what you’re thinking, you think you can leave but it won’t work, Klaus
will find you and he will hurt you and your family,” he interrupted. I pulled
away from him immediately like he’d burned me. He looked offended but I
couldn’t bring myself to care. I thought back to what I’d learned that he’d
done to Katherine and I internally cringed. I wouldn’t let Jeremy face the
flashback of my actions. And I couldn’t live my life on the run, he’d catch up
to me eventually. I couldn’t stay here though. Not with these monsters.
I stood and didn’t look back to see what Finn’s reaction would be, “I’d like to
go back inside now.” I kept my voice devoid of emotion and I heard Finn stand
up behind me. He grabbed my wrist a whirled me around to face him. Our chests
were touching and I felt slightly comfortable in such close proximity.
“Elena, I really am sorry for the way my family has treated you,” he sat back
down again, his head in his hands. I joined him on the bench once again and
just stared at the floor. I sensed he wanted to continue so I just remained
silent, respectfully. “It hasn’t always been this way, when we were human our
father would always be harsher on Niklaus but he’d always take it without
complaint and he’d even take beatings for Rebekah, Kol and…” he took a shaky
breath, “Henrik.” I’d heard about their younger brother. “Niklaus was very
caring and he didn’t have a bad bone in his body but over the years he’s
started to morph into our father almost. He has a very short temper and he acts
as though he cares about no one but himself, and sometimes Rebekah, but it’s
all a façade due to his belief that love is a person’s greatest weakness.
Rebekah I believe has started to believe that also, she’s been hurt by a lot of
her past loves and often Niklaus does too. She always wanted to get married and
have kids but when we were turned that was not possible and over the years
she’s resented what we are and who she is. Kol is stuck in the body of an 18
year old boy and he still gets all the hormones that a boy of his age would and
he’s always been the joker of the family. But do be careful with him because
he’s also a hothead, he wouldn’t bat an eyelash to hurt you so just be careful,
even Niklaus fears him sometimes and that should be warning enough. And Elijah
may come off as controlled and emotionless but he’s just reserved about he lets
in. I’m sure you’ve heard of his affection for both your ancestors?” I nodded.
“Well they both broke his heart, I watched as Tatia played with both of my
brothers and it was not easy. She’d go out with Elijah and then sneak off with
Niklaus. Excuse my language but I believe she was, as you say in your day and
age, a slut.” I supressed a giggle at hearing a thousand year old vampire
saying ‘slut.’ “And, from what I’ve been told by my other siblings, Katherine
played Elijah like a fiddle and then ran off after making him fall for her.
Elijah swore to never fall for another Petrova after that.” He looked at me
then and I took in all the information Finn had fed me then realisation hit me.
“What about you? What’s your story?” I wondered why he’d left himself out of
the conversation. I regretted my questioning when he turned his head away from
me and stared at the ground. “I’m sorry, you don’t have to tell me,” I was
slightly disappointed that he wouldn’t tell me more about himself. I shivered
again as the cold started to hit me again. I missed the warmth that radiated of
Finn’s body.
“Come on let’s take you inside before you get hypothermia,” he joked standing
up and holding his hand out for me to take. I was reluctant to follow his lead.
I felt so free outside, I didn’t want to be a prisoner again. He seemed to
notice my reluctance, “You can come out here whenever you like but just with
more clothes on and maybe in the daytime.” I suddenly felt a wave of happiness.
I took his offered hand and stood up and we walked along in comfortable
silence.
===============================================================================
When we reached the door of my room we said our goodnights and I went on the
tips of my toes to place a soft kiss against his lips. I pulled back and his
eyes were almost bugging out of his head and his mouth was wide open, he shut
it and then opened it again, like a fish. I giggled and shut the door to my
room. I’d speak to Elijah tomorrow about our kiss and I’d deal with Kol also. I
stripped off and decided to sleep naked as it had gone hot in my room. I
climbed into my bed and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
===============================================================================
I was in a dark room, my hands suspended above my head. A light was turned on
and I found myself in the same room Klaus had tortured me in. I should’ve been
scared but I wasn’t, instead I found myself excited.
“Who’s been a bad girl?” a voice in the darkness spoke, it sounded a lot like
Klaus. I felt wetness pool between my legs and I looked down, realising I was
naked. Why was I getting aroused? I should be disgusted.
“Me, I need to be punished,” another voice spoke and then I realised it was my
own. What the hell?
“Mmm, I agree,” another joined in the conversation, Kol. How did I get here?
What are they doing? Why am I naked? I felt something cold hit my back and
wetness began pouring down my back and then I felt a tongue lapping at it. I
moaned despite the pain I was in. They repeated the action a couple times and
my body betrayed me by moaning and getting aroused by their reactions. Then
Klaus and Kol stood in front of me, naked. My eyes widened taking in their
forms. They both were ripped and they cocks were larger than any I’d ever seen.
Klaus’ was thicker whereas Kol’s was longer. They began stroking their
appendages looking me up and down. Kol moved to behind me and whispered in my
ear. “You’re so hot darling.” I realised both men had gotten a lot closer.
“Please,” I begged. They looked at each other and smirked. Then all of a sudden
I had a finger in my pussy and another in my virgin asshole. I gasped then
moaned. Then one finger turned into two then three. Then I felt the head of
Kol’s dick against my now stretched asshole and before I could even contemplate
what he was doing he thrust deep into me and groaned. Then Klaus pushed into my
pussy…
===============================================================================
I screamed and bolted upright. I jumped out of my bed afraid that if I stayed
there my sleep would once again take me. All of a sudden my door was off its
hinges and there stood Elijah and Finn. They looked like they’d just woke up
and they looked very concerned. It wasn’t even ten seconds before Klaus and Kol
joined them. I backed away when I saw all their eyes on me, running over my
body… Shit, I forgot I was naked. I looked into each of their eyes and all I
saw was hunger and lust. I ran into the bathroom when Finn started to approach
me. I slammed the door shut and locked it. I started to sob.
“Elena will you please let me in?” Finn begged from the other side of the door.
“I’m sorry I reacted like that.”
“No, just leave me alone, I’m going for a shower.” I shouted in reply. I knew
they were all still there. I heard him sigh on the other side of the door and
when I heard their retreating footsteps I turned the shower on a waited for the
water to warm up. I looked in the mirror and I had horribly dark under eye
circles. I climbed into the shower and I really wanted to forget about the
nightmare I was just forced to see. When the warmth of the shower didn’t seem
to help, I grabbed the razor that sat next to the taps of the bath. Maybe if I
die it’ll all end now? I pulled the razor apart and I held one of the blades in
my hand. I pushed it against my wrist as forcefully as I could and dragged
quickly, I repeated the action on my other wrist. I continued making both cuts
deeper until I felt dizzy from the blood loss then it all went dark…
***** Chapter 10 *****
             Elijah’s POV (Starting after they left Elena’s room)
When I had heard Elena’s scream I thought she had been hurt. I had ran to her
room as quick as I could but when I saw her there. Naked, my instincts betrayed
me. She has such a beautiful body and I could sense she was having the same
reaction on my brothers. I had wanted to claim her right there. Make her mine.
I shook my head clearing my head and followed Klaus into his study.
We all stood in silence till Kol spoke, “Wow…” He had a dreamy look in his eyes
and I knew he had the same thoughts as my own. We all made sounds of agreement
and we slipped into silence.
===============================================================================
“We need to figure out why we keep having this reaction to the lovely Elena,” I
declared, I had to be the voice of reason here. My brothers all growled when I
used the word ‘lovely’ to describe my Elena. No just Elena. My eyes widened
slightly in surprise. “See that is not normal, she is no any of ours but I’m
guessing we all felt the pull then to claim her as our own then?” They all
thought for a moment, Finn a little longer than the rest, till they nodded
agreeing with my assumption.
“Could it be that she is a doppelganger? We do have a past with the
doppelgangers, our fates are entwined,” Kol queried with a slight scowl on his
face, he must be thinking of Tatia. I didn’t know Kol held such hatred for her,
and he hadn’t been told of Katerina and to my knowledge he hadn’t crossed paths
with her. I looked at him questioningly as did Klaus. Finn was deep in thought
as always. “I never did like Tatia, especially when she tried to seduce me also
and I believe I saw her attempting the same with Finn.” Klaus and I growled in
anger at the thought of our brothers sleeping with our first love and keeping
it from us. “But neither of us took her up on her offer, right Finn?” Kol
jumped to their defence, fear evident in his eyes.
“Yes that is correct brother,” Finn replied coolly, “I only had eyes for Sage
then.” He looked pained when speaking the red heads name and I really felt for
my brother. No one had told him she was still alive and strong because Klaus
was afraid he’d run off to find her. I nodded acknowledging his answer.
“And what do you know of Katerina, Kol?” Klaus inquired, his eyebrow raised
with a slight frown marring his face. I too also wished to know why our brother
knew of my Katerina.
Kol smirked, “We met in the eighteenth century, Katherine, as she was going by
back then, said she could show me a good time and what a good time it was. We
fucked a couple time,” I growled slightly and his smirk grew. “I didn’t know
that Klaus had a warrant for her head and she was unaware that I was part of
the Original family. We crossed paths quite a bit after that and we’d drink and
indulge in each other as a celebration of our meeting once again. Till Nik
daggered me of course.” Klaus rolled his eyes.
===============================================================================
Suddenly a sweet smell graced the air, “Can anyone else smell that?” I
inquired. My brother’s nodded and I met Finn’s eyes. “Blood.” Then I ran into
Elena’s room and I could hear the shower still running and the smell of blood
was getting worse. I kicked the door down in an instant and there she was,
blood running from her wrists into the bath, making the water go pink, naked,
and unconscious. I ignored the urge to feed and claim her. I didn’t notice my
brothers in the doorway. I turned the shower off and picked her limp body up. I
carried her into her bed and placed a blanket over her. Protecting her modesty.
“Her pulse is weak but it’s still there, there’s still time.” I wasted no time.
I bit into my wrist and placed it into her mouth. I stroked hr hair gently.
Eventually she grabbed onto the area surrounding my wrist and her eyes popped
open. She looked like a wild animal. She sucked on my open cut until it closed
then she licked to area surrounding without breaking eye contact with me. Then
I grabbed her wrist and did the same to her. Small moans escaping her mouth. We
sat there a moment till a throat being cleared brought us out of our trance. I
growled in annoyance at my brothers and they just smirked except Finn, Finn
looked hurt somehow.

                                   Elena POV
I sat on the bed waiting for the Mikaelson brother’s to leave me alone, I
didn’t expect any of them to comply so easily, nor did I expect Rebekah to be
looking at me with such sympathy. I didn’t want her sympathy, I just wanted
this to be over. I noticed that Elijah was the most reluctant to leave, he kept
looking back at me with guilt written all over his face. I wanted to tell him
it wasn’t his fault, that it was my own. I didn’t want to be here. I hated
these people. And if I couldn’t escape by freeing myself, I’d have to die. Once
all of the men had left Rebekah turned to me and I couldn’t stand to look her
in the eyes, I hadn’t looked any of them in the eyes since Elijah had saved me.
I brought my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around myself, placing my
head on them, effectively becoming a human ball.
===============================================================================
“Elena…” Rebekah started as I felt the bed dip slightly beside me. “I know you
don’t particularly enjoy my company and nor do I yours, but…” she seemed to
think for a moment, “Would you tell me why you did this to yourself?” she
inquired. I instantly shook my head, not trusting my own voice and I heard her
sigh. “Can I tell you something about myself?” I didn’t answer so she just
continued, “Over the thousand years that I’ve been well… alive kind of… I’ve
been through many heart breaks. In the twelfth century I fell in love with a
vampire hunter named Alexander, at the time he was holding public vampire
executions to try to gain more people for the cause. He obviously was unaware
of our condition at that time. He told us of his cause and of a weapon that
could kill every vampire. We were very intrigued and concerned by this, but at
that time I had already began falling for him. My brothers were very adamant I
stay away from Alex but I was unable to. One night he proposed to me and I was
extremely happy with me, he threw a party, to celebrate and announce our
engagement. Turns out the weapon he’d been boasting about was the daggers that
we all know and loathe today. That night he daggered me while the rest of The
Five,” I looked up at her. What was The Five? She must have noticed my
confusion, “Don’t ask, it’s a long story. Anyway, the rest of The Five daggered
my brothers but, as we know, Nik wasn’t affected by the dagger so when he
realised what Alex had done, he killed him and the rest of The Five before un-
daggering myself and the rest of my brothers. Even after Alex’s betrayal I
still mourned him and I buried him and his sword at the church in which we
planned to marry.”
By the end of Rebekah’s story we were both crying, I placed my hand on her arm,
an attempt to comfort her slightly, she wiped away her tears, “Anyway
afterwards I didn’t wish to be alive anymore so I made many attempts on my own
life and I did as you did, I looked to harming myself for release. Ultimately
it worked for a short while but the bliss didn’t last long. So Elena I urge you
not to make any more attempts on your life because my brothers would never
allow you to die.” She had a faraway look in her eyes and I moved to my knees
and brought her into a hug, she seemed to be surprised and hesitated a moment
before returning my hug. We sat like that for what felt like five minutes
before a voice from behind us broke the moment.
“Can I speak to Elena please?”
Chapter End Notes
     I know it’s short but I’m trying to keep their more sisterly moments
     for later on.
***** Chapter 12 *****
I looked up into the blue eyes of the man who haunts my dreams. Rebekah pulled
back giving her brother an icy cold glare before turning back to me, her eyes
softening. She looked at me silently asking me if I would be okay talking to
him. “If Elena wants to talk to you she can, I’m going back to my room.” She
jumped up off the bed and pushed back her brother. I watched her go before
glancing at Klaus very quickly, not wanting to look into his eyes. But when I
looked at him he was looking at the floor, shifting from one foot to another. I
stared at him confused, he looked guilty for some reason.
===============================================================================
After five minutes of him just standing there I finally decided enough was
enough, “What did you want?” I asked in a slightly annoyed tone. I panicked
slightly when I realised how that must have sounded to him, but when his eyes
snapped up to meet mine all I saw was surprise and guilt. I looked away
instantly and went back to my previous position.
“I’m sorry I kidnapped you and I’m sorry about what I did when you tried to
escape, I really didn’t mean to go that far… I should’ve expected you to try to
escape after everything myself and my family have put you through. I’m a
monster and my siblings, over the years, have been diseased with some of my
traits,” I couldn’t really deny what he said, he was a monster but I didn’t
understand why he was doing this now, did he think he was the reason I tried to
commit suicide? He looked so awkward, he couldn’t meet my eye, he mustn’t be
the apologising type I thought, as he spoke again, “Look I’m not good at this
whole apologising shit, I don’t even know why I came in here, I should’ve just
stayed away, everyone knows it was my fault you tried and almost succeeded in
trying to kill yourself. You won’t even look at me!” He was getting angry now
and I looked up just as he was about to leave.
Almost like instinct I jumped out of bed, ignoring the dizziness that came with
my sudden movement and practically ran to the doorway, just in time. I reached
out and grabbed his hand. He immediately turned back and his eyes were glowing
yellow and the red and black veins appeared under them. I should’ve been scared
but without thought I reached up and touched the veins. They pulsed then under
my touch, Klaus’ hand shot up and grabbed my hand. I into his eyes and they’d
turned back to their usual blue colour, I only realised now that they had
slight green flecks in them, making them look like the ocean. Before I could
contemplate what was happening his lips were on mine, his lips were so soft,
against my will I kissed him back. I slowly remembered who this guy was and I
put my hands on his chest, he must have thought it meant I wanted to go further
because he put his hands on my bare hips under my top. I pushed him away and
his eyes were filled with surprise and dare I say hurt?
“Elena what the-?” he started.
“Get out!” I shouted at him, with tears in my eyes, while backing away. But he
just took a step towards me counteracting every step I took away. When he had
me backed him into a wall I slipped down, sitting on the floor. I put my head
in my hands not wanting him to see me cry.
“Elena what did I do wrong? It’s not like you didn’t enjoy it,” he said
cockily.
I stood and started beating his chest with my fists, “Get out! Just get out you
bastard!” I screamed as tears flowed down my cheeks. His hands grabbed my
wrists and I looked at him and once again his hybrid features were showing but
this time he looked livid. His grip on me tightened and I whimpered in pain. My
bones felt like they were on the verge of breaking. He didn’t look even
slightly human now, he looked like a pissed off wild animal. I closed my eyes
awaiting the pain.
“Nik you’re hurting her,” I heard Kol say from behind Klaus but his hold didn’t
falter, it was like he was in a trance. Then the pressure on my wrists was
gone, a large crash sounded in the room and I opened my eyes to see Klaus
getting up, hybrid features still showing, from where a set of drawers had
been, but now just lay a mess of wood and clothes. Kol was standing in front of
me in a protective stance, when Klaus noticed his eyes seemed to darken even
further. He lunged at Kol but before he could reach him Finn and Elijah had
Klaus pinned against the wall. Klaus was thrashing against their grasps, his
eyes not leaving Kol’s figure in front of me
“She’s mine Kol! Not yours!” Klaus shouted and I became confused but then I
remembered that wolves and vampires were very territorial. Kol growled and
started to move towards his three brothers but my hand snapped forward and
grabbed his wrist, his head turned towards me his eyes full of confusion. I
shook my head, not wanting him to hurt his brother, he seemed to understand.
“Get him out of here, I’ll make sure Elena isn’t injured,” Kol turned to his
brothers, Elijah and Finn looked reluctant, clearly not wanting to leave me
alone with their other hot-headed brother but nodded and vamp sped out of the
room taking Klaus with them. There was a human shaped dent in the wall where
Klaus had been pushed into it. Once Kol was sure they were gone he turned
around to face me and inspected my wrist, where bruises were already forming.
“Do you want me to help you with that?” He asked when he looked back into my
eyes, concern shining through clearly.
I shook my head, “I’ve had enough vampire blood for one day.”
He nodded understanding, “You should rest Elena, and we’ll sort everything out
in the morning.” I’d never seen him so serious. I was about to begin walking to
my bed but before I could even take a step I was picked up and found myself
over Kol’s shoulder. I gasped in shocked and I can imagine had his usual cheeky
smile on his face as he chuckled slightly. This was the Kol I knew, he knew how
to cheer me up. He walked over to my bed, drawing back the covers and putting
me down, I only realised how tired I was when my head hit the pillow. I felt
Kol pull the quilt over me and he stroked my hair and kissed my forehead. My
eyes shut involuntarily and when I felt Kol pull away I opened my eyes slightly
“Stay. Please?” I begged, I didn’t want to be alone. He rolled his eyes
playfully but nodded. I closed my eyes again until I heard a piece of clothing
hit the floor.
I opened my eyes to see Kol topless and undoing the button to his jeans. Man
did he have a gorgeous body, I found myself forgetting about what had just
happened and took in the God of a man that stood in front of me stripping. His
jeans hit the floor and I found my eyes following the little patch of hair
between v-line leading to the rim of his boxers. My eyes widened when I saw the
evident large bulge at the front of his black boxers. He cleared his throat
bringing my attention away from his perfect body, I blushed as he smirked
knowingly.
“As much as I enjoy you checking me out I’m actually quite tired,” he yawned
and went back to smirking. He walked closer till his clothed dick was at eye-
level with my lying down form. “Budge up,” I moved backwards giving him more
than enough space. He climbed in and pulled me towards him causing me to squeal
slightly as he smirked. He pulled me flush against his side and wrapped his arm
around my waist as I rested my head against his bare chest and started to fall
asleep allowing myself to forget about tonight’s drama, I could just about
register Kol’s hand stroking my hair before I drifted off into a dreamless
sleep.
***** Chapter 13 *****
I awoke in the late hours of the morning. I screwed my eyes shut as I stretched
out, feeling my muscles relax and hearing/feeling my bones pop. Enjoy the
feeling of my large, empty…Wait, where did Kol go? I opened my eyes and sat up
slowly, observing my surroundings. Kol was indeed gone, as were his clothes and
the broken drawers. He must have gotten up earlier and cleaned up. I swung my
legs over the side and stepped onto the lush carpet below, allowing my toes to
curl in the wool. I looked towards the bathroom, sighing when I saw that the
door had disappeared as had the door to my actual room. I now had no privacy at
all, I guess in a way in was partly my fault. I sighed, pulling my abandoned
socks by my bed and walked into the bathroom, quickly peeing then brushing my
teeth.
When I stepped back out again I slipped on the wood floors of my room, I
squealed in surprise as I readied myself for the hit before falling onto my
head. “Owe.” I heard laughing from close by and sat up, holding my head. I
glared at Rebekah as she sat on my bed, holding her stomach as she doubled over
in laughter. I couldn’t help but join in a little. When our laughter subsided,
I couldn’t help but notice the normalcy of the situation. “Where are the boys?”
I asked when I noticed no one came rushing to see what had happened.
“Well Elijah and Klaus are out drinking I believe, I think they’re discussing
the incident last night. Finn is out searching for Sage, he got wind that she
was still alive and looking for him. And Kol is out somewhere, I’m not sure
where, probably looking for a girl to fuck and feed from,” she crinkled her
nose up at the mention of Sage and of Kol’s conquests and I felt slightly
jealous but quickly shook it away. “So we are going to have a girl’s day,” she
said with a genuine smile and I felt a smile make its way on my face. “We’ll go
to the spa, get our hair and makeup done, then do some retail therapy, then
we’ll have a movie night with loads of snacks and takeaway, and have pillow
fights in our frilly nighties.”
I laughed at that, realising she probably hadn’t had many friends over the
years so she probably hadn’t had a sleepover before, it seemed like her only
source of knowledge was from what she’d seen in movies. Then realisation hit
me, “I’ll be able to go outside?” I asked with a grin and she nodded, then I
jumped up and hugged her before I could comprehend what I was doing. I pulled
away quickly and blushed with a shy smile. But she didn’t seem angry in the
slightest, she laughed even.
“Well I’ll leave you to change and what not, meet me downstairs in twenty,” and
with that she was off. I was relieved the men were out as it meant no one could
walk in on me as I changed. I walked into the walk-in closet deciding on a
white sundress and some black flats. I decided to leave my hair alone and only
put on some mascara and lip balm, seeing as I’d be getting my hair and makeup
done later anyway. I took one last look in the mirror and went to see Rebekah.
She was standing by the door, checking her nails till she saw me and she beamed
me a smile at me when she took in my appearance, “You look cute. But let’s see
if we can’t make you sexy,” she wiggled her eyebrows and we both burst out in
laughter and walked to her pink convertible and rolled my eyes, classic
Rebekah. When did I get to know Rebekah? I chose to ignore my thoughts, jumping
into her car and then she sped off. I couldn’t help but feel excited.
===============================================================================
“So doll, how do you want your hair today?” The hairdresser spoke as she seemed
to be inspecting my hair, Amy I think she said her name was. She was a skinny
pale woman with dark pixie cut hair.
“I’m not really sure, I just want a change,” I shrugged, if I was going to be
thrown into a new life, I may as well make everything about me new.
She grabbed the back of my chair, meeting my eyes in the mirror, “How about a
trim? Maybe a few layers? Or some highlights? Or even a completely new colour?”
I nodded, “I think a trim, some layer and some highlights would be good, thank
you.”
“Good choice doll,” and then she got to work. I loved the feeling of her
washing my hair, I’d always loved it when people would brush and style my hair.
It reminded me of when my mother would brush my hair as she hummed a lullaby.
===============================================================================
By the time we’d had our hair and makeup done and shopped till we dropped, it
had turned dark outside. I wasn’t completely sure of the time but I knew it
must be late, due to the nightlife already vibrant and full. We walked back to
Rebekah’s car, putting most of our bags into the boot. The rest were loaded
into the back of the car. We’d bought a lot. I looked into the rear-view
mirror, I loved my new look. My hair was so soft and shiny, I’d decided on red
highlights and they looked great with my new layers, the hairdresser had also
let my hair stay curly. The makeup artist had given me smoky dark eye makeup,
with red lipstick of course. I had the full on Kardashian contour and brows,
and my highlight was to die for! I had changed into a red mini dress, to match
my highlights, during the day with some black Louboutin’s.
Rebekah had her hair similar to mine but with pastel pink highlights, they
complimented her blonde hair well I thought. She had a lighter version of a
smoky eye and light pink lipgloss, along with the Kardashian contour and brows,
like me. She’d also changed during the day, into similar clothes as my own
except her dress was pastel pink, like her highlights, and her Louboutin’s were
white.
We looked like we were going clubbing but in reality we were going to get
drunk, eat and watch movies, at home. I couldn’t help but think about what the
Mikaelson boys would think about my new look. Would they hate it? Would they
think I looked slutty? I did look more like Katherine than I did myself. And I
found myself suddenly feeling very self-conscious and anxious. I didn’t want
them to think of me as Katherine. I knew we shared a face but I didn’t want
them to see me that way. I wanted them to see me as me.
Suddenly I was brought out of my thoughts as Rebekah’s voice attempted to gain
my attention, “Elena! Earth to Elena!” She was clicking her fingers in front of
my face.
I came out of my stupor, “What? What is it?”
She laughed, “We’re here. And I was saying to watch out around my brothers
because you look hot.”
I blushed slightly, part of the reason was the compliment the other that I got
so lost in thought. We both climbed out of the car, grabbing our hundreds of
bags and walking towards the car, Rebekah walked straight in but I closed my
eyes and took a deep breath, preparing myself for their judgements. When I
walked in I dropped my bags and this must’ve caught their attention because in
a minute all the men gathered around me and I swear I heard them gasp…
“Wow…”                                                            
***** Chapter 14 *****
Chapter Notes
     Okay so the next few chapters will be about what the guys were doing
     while she was with Rebekah, I just thought you guys would want to
     know where they were. Let me know if you like it because I love
     reading your reviews!
                                   Kol’s POV
I woke up just as the sun was rising, Elena was still pressed tightly against
me but now her legs were tangled with my own and she was practically lying on
top of me. I had both my arms wrapped around her. She was snoring lightly, her
mouth hanging open. She looked so peaceful, innocent and cute in her sleep. I
nuzzled the top of her head, taking a deep breath. Her hair smelt of
strawberries and coconuts. It was such a unique scent and I loved it. I would
stay here all day if I could but I felt my hunger hit me and I couldn’t risk
hurting her. Nik would kill me if I did but I also didn’t want her to hate me.
She was fun and she had fire. She definitely was amusing when it came to Nik. I
knew
I sighed and pulled myself out of Elena’s grip, very hesitantly, I really
didn’t want to go. I managed to get out of bed without unsettling her and I
leaned down, moving a piece of hair behind her ear and kissing her forehead. I
straightened myself, picking up my discarded clothing and sped back to my room.
I shed my boxers and threw my clothes into the washing basket in my bathroom. I
turned on my rainfall shower and instantly stepped in and allowed my thoughts
to take over.
Why did I want to stay with her so bad? I couldn’t have feelingsfor this girl.
I am Kol Mikaelson. One of the strongest, oldest and most dangerous vampires in
the world. I am a known player and I wouldn’t be tied down to just one girl. I
shook my head in anger. I didn’t feel anything for the other doppelgangers. I
avoided Tatia like the plague, I knew what she was doing with my brothers and I
wanted no part in it, she hadn’t captivated me in the slightest like she had
with Elijah and Nik. I had flings with Katerina and that’s it, just a bit of
fun besides she was a self-serving bitch, I didn’t find her any more attractive
than I had Tatia. So what was it about this girl? She shared their face but not
their personalities. Although I did not know much about her, I’d heard things
from my siblings. Rebekah had nothing good to say of course, I was however
impressed and amused when I received the information that Elena had been the
one to dagger her. I was even more impressed when I was told she’d also
daggered Elijah once. Elijah was a completely different story, even though
she’d previously daggered him, he had nothing badto say about Elena, he told me
she was selfless, she always sacrificed herself for her family and friends and
anyone really, and that she was a real negotiator. And Nik didn’t have much to
say, he told me that she was stubborn, smart and had the Petrova fire. And she
didn’t disappoint. I knew Elijah had feelings for her and I wasn’t sure how
Finn felt towards her, they seemed close, plus Nik seems to feel something
other than hatred towards her, and all of these factors made jealousy spark
inside of me.
I groaned, maybe I did feelsomething for her but love was a vampires biggest
weakness and I wouldn’t letmyself be weak. I pulled myself from my thoughts and
out of the shower. Wrapping a towel around my hips and using another towel to
dry my hair. Once I was relatively dry, I walked back into my room and picked
out some clothes. I decided on a pair of black jeans and a dark green t-shirt.
Once I was fully dressed, I walked back to Elena’s room. I noticed she was
still sleeping soundly and I decided to clean up the remnants of last night. I
sped around the room, picking up all the wood form the broken drawers and both
of the doors. I made a mental note to ask Nik about replacing them later. I
gave one final glance at the sleeping beauty before I sped downstairs, the
house was very silent and…empty. Where was everyone? I shrugged, they were
probably out. I threw on my usual leather jacket and stepped outside. I sped to
my Harley motorbike and then drove off down the road, in search for a meal. I
was starving. I drove until I reached the Mystic Grill.
Walking in I noticed it was relatively full, people were eating their
breakfasts. I noticed a group of girls staring at me, whispering, I knew what
they were saying of course and it made me smirk. The group was too big though
and too much of a risk, plus I didn’t like girls that just threw themselves at
me. I noticed another girl sitting by herself at the bar and I grinned. I
walked over to the bar and sat in the seat next to her, not caring if someone
occupied it. She was slightly similar to Elena, except her hair was darker and
her skin was pale, her eyes were a light shade of honey. She was wearing a
black vest that showed a lot of cleavage with dark blue jeans. Maybe I could
use her in more ways than one.I thought as a smirk grew on my face.
“Bourbon neat,” I said to the bartender. Turning towards the woman next to me
who was sipping on a nearly finished tumbler of whiskey, “And what will you
have Sweetheart?” I asked and she turned towards me, clearly ready for an
argument but when she took in my appearance she smirked and raised an eyebrow.
“I’ll have the same please,” she confidently spoke, I smirked and signalled for
the bartender to bring the same to her. I could smell her arousal of course and
I knew I’d use that to my advantage. The drinks were placed in front of us and
we both took a sip.
“So what brings a pretty thing like you here this early?” I inquired, I knew
she must have some real issues if she’s drinking at nine in the morning.
She raised her dark eyebrow in slight amusement, “Well I recently became single
due to my boyfriend being a cheating scum bag, you?”
“Just in need of a drink and some fun,” I grinned and winked, then she blushed
and smiled.
“I hope this doesn’t sound too forward… but do you want to get out of her?” She
whispered in my ear. I smirked, this was happening a lot earlier than I thought
it would. Before I could voice my reply she was walking off, with a sway of her
hips. I placed the money for the drinks on the counter along with a twenty
dollar tip and walked after her. When I exited the bar she was nowhere in sight
but her scent led to an alleyway nearby and I followed it in excitement, I
hadn’t slept with a woman in many years and I was looking forward to this but I
couldn’t help but to think of Elena, what I wouldn’t give for her to be the one
I was doing this with. I rounded the corner into the alleyway, spotting that
the woman had her shoulder leaning on the wall beside her, with her back to me.
I walked up behind her and kissed her neck, wrapping an arm around her. She
moaned and grinded her arse against my groin causing me to hiss slightly. My
other hand went down to her jeans, unbuttoning and unzipping them, slipping my
hand inside her panties and instantly playing with her clit causing her to moan
and jerk against my hand. I felt her hands fumbling behind her, attempting and
failing to undo my jeans. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, she was so
inexperienced. I removed my hands from her body, bringing a whine from her as
she turned around, her eyes full of lust and her arousal filling the air, the
smell didn’t even compare to that of Elena’s. I needed to stop thinking about
her. I undid my jeans and pulled my cock free from the tight confines of my
jeans and boxers. I hissed as the cold air hit it. I spun the girl in front of
me around, as her hands splayed across the wall. I pulled her jeans and panties
down and slammed my dick deep in her. She moaned like a bitch in heat and I
grabbed her hair as I groaned. I was glad the feeling of sex hadn’t changed. I
closed my eyes, imagining that it was Elena in front of me, her moans that were
attempting to be hushed, her hair in between my fingers, her skin that my skin
was slapping against. I leaned over her and sunk my fangs into her as I came.
She screamed and I pulled away when I heard her heartbeat go slow. I pulled out
of her and straightened myself up. She was still leaning against the wall, I
knew she was going to faint so I turned her back to face me.
“You won’t remember me or what I did to you. You came out here and fucked with
a random guy and you were attacked by an animal,” I compelled her and she
nodded and repeated it in a monotone, robot like voice. And with that I flashed
back to my Harley and drove away back home.
===============================================================================
When I reached the house I found it empty and I found myself worried. Where
were Rebekah, Elijah, Nik and Finn? And more importantly where was Elena? I
flashed to her room but there was no sign of her, only her scent. I called
Elijah when I realised she was nowhere in sight.
“Hello?” His voice asked curiously.
“Elijah? It’s Kol, Elena she’s gone. I’ve looked everywhere and she’s not here.
Elijah what if she’s ran away? Nik will ki-“I started before I heard him and
Nik laughing.
“Kol she’s out with Rebekah, they’re having a girls day/night. There’s no need
to have a panic attack,” They laughed again and I hung up in anger, how dare
they laugh at me, I threw my phone at the wall and walked off back to my room.
I turned my music on and laid down on the bed.
What was this girl doing to me?
***** Chapter 15 *****
                                  Finn’s POV
I awoke very early in the morning as I always did and stood by my large window.
I enjoyed watching the sun rise, it reminded me of my human days when I’d wake
up early in order to go hunting with father and Elijah, and Niklaus even. Kol
had been too young to join us then and Henrik had only been a small child.
Mother and Rebekah would stay home with them, although Henrik hadn’t been
gifted with magic he still enjoyed watching the other practice. We would hunt
and then father and Niklaus would return to the family home, Elijah would
return to his own home, which he’d built himself, not wishing to be around
father more than he had to. I would return to my home that I lived in with Sage
and our daughter Emily. She had passed away in her first winter and Sage had
been expecting again but lost our unborn child.
When I was turned I was full of bloodlust but I knew I wanted to be with Sage
forever and so I changed her. My siblings had informed me that she was still in
existence and that she was having relations with the elder of the Salvatore
brothers at the moment. I wasn’t angry, just hurt but I understood. I had been
gone for nine hundred years. I couldn’t expect her to save herself for me, I
knew the raw sexual lust that came with vampirism, but I couldn’t help the pain
that gripped my heart when my brothers had told me that she had slept with both
Kol and Klaus. My brothers. I wanted to find her, to make up for lost time. I
put on a pair of dark blue… what was it that Rebekah called them? Ahh yes
jeans. And a white shirt. This was the casual attire these days, I certainly
wasn’t happy to have to cut my hair but Rebekah had insisted. I wasn’t prepared
for modern times and it came as a big shock, I still wasn’t accustomed to it
nor did I ever think I would be.
My plans for the day consisted of searching for my lost bride and to show her
how much I missed her. But something made me rethink my decision. A particular
doe-eyed brunette. Her appearance was truly mesmerising, I hadn’t felt anything
for her ancestor Tatia, I had barely even took notice of her, but Elena was
different her skin was more green undertoned, her eyes were a darker shade of
brown and her hair lighter. Her personality was truly admirable, so
compassionate yet stubborn. Her heart belonged to anyone she deemed worthy. I
wished to be her friend, did I not? Or did I want something more? I shook my
head at the thought, I was going to see my wife today, the love of my life.
It’s just because I cared for this girl and wished to protect her. My feelings
are nothing but paternal, I decided to bid her farewell before I left. I knew
I’d be back, if anything to protect her from the horrors that my family would
no doubt commit against her, but I was unsure when.
I walked to her room but the sight that greeted me made my heart clench. In her
bed lay the girl that confused my thought cuddled up to Kol. I felt anger and
jealousy crawl from inside the mental box that I tried my best to keep shut. I
shot off, unable to watch anymore, never so thankful for my vampire abilities.
I allowed all my emotions to be put into running in the direction of the
Salvatore house that Rebekah had showed me when she had given me a tour of
Mystic Falls.
===============================================================================
When I reached the entrance to their property I straightened myself up. I
didn’t wish for violence to come out of this so I’d do everything I could to
avoid it. Once I was satisfied I looked presentable I knocked twice on the door
and waited for my presence to be acknowledged. I stepped back slightly as I
heard footsteps approaching. The door swung open to reveal Damon Salvatore,
just who I wished to see.
He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, “What the fuck do you want…what’s your
name again?” He asked a scowl on his face.
“Finn Mikaelson. As for your other inquiry I have been informed that you know
my wife, Sage?” I spoke politely but with a slight accusatory tone at the end,
asking more than saying.
He appeared confused when I had used the word wife but it quickly turned into a
knowing smirk, “Ah yes I know Sage, verywell, if you know what I mean,” he
winked causing a growl to escape my throat, I hadn’t meant to fight but if
that’s what he wished for then so be it, I stepped forward and his smirk
slipped from his face and he put his hands up in faux surrender. “What do you
want to know?”
I took a deep breath to calm myself, “Do you know of her residence?”
Then his smirk made its way back onto his arrogant face, he reminded me much of
Kol, “Well if you want to know that I think we should do a trade.”
I raised my eyebrow in a questioningly manner, I had an idea what he wanted but
I needed him to confirm it, “And what exactly is it that you want from me?”
He raised his eyebrow challengingly, “I know your fucked up family has Elena
and we want her back. I’ll tell you where Sage is if you tell me how we can get
Elena back.”
I sucked in a breath, I knew he would request this the moment he’d mentioned a
trade. I had a choice, I could lose the only friend I had in this life and
betray my family, or I could gain my wife back. Elena did not wish to stay with
my family that I knew, she wished to be back with her family and friends, maybe
this was her chance. I decided in that moment, “You drive a hard bargain Mr
Salvatore but I concede. Elena is in my family’s home, I trust you’ve been
there before,” I waited for his nod of agreement, “Well surrounding the house
is a wall that separates the garden from the forest, my brothers hybrid
monsters patrol the outer area of the wall to keep intruders out. There’s two
gates onto the property. The main one is at the front of the house, it is
always guarded by at least one hybrid. The other is at the back, none of my
siblings nor the hybrids are aware of its existence, it is covered by moss on
both sides making it invisible to anyone who is not desperately searching for
it. You’ll be able to find it because it has white roses growing with it. I
can’t help with the rest however I can tell you that there are no guards inside
the house or on the actual grounds.”
He nodded taking all of the information in, “Thanks is there any time that
would be best to get her?” He inquired.
I thought hard and deeply, “Early morning time, around sunrise, I’m the only
one who will be awake at that time. My siblings, besides Elijah, are deep
sleepers so you will not have to worry about their interference, and I am sure
Elijah wishes for Elena to be happy also.”
He narrowed his eyes but decided against commenting, “Thanks, well Sage is
upstairs in my room,” He said with a smirk.
My eyes widened then narrowed, “She has been able to hear me this entire
conversation but has not came to greet her long lost husband?” I asked myself
more to myself than to the young vampire in front of me, he opened his mouth to
answer but a blur of red hair pushed past him in front of me. “Sage?” I could
not believe it here she was, my one true love. But why did it not feel like it?
I shook my head and looked at my lover in front of me, her hair was still as
vibrant as I could remember but her blue eyes no longer carried the warmth they
once did, she looked cold.
Before I could say another word she wrapped her arms around my neck and brought
me into a passionate kiss. I awaited the sparks but none came, Elena’s lips on
my cheek had felt softer than this. I tried to ignore my thoughts as they
drifted back to the brunette in my home. When my thoughts would return to the
woman pressed against me all I could think of was her doing the same with my
brothers and the man standing awkwardly behind her. I pulled back slowly and
gave her a forced soft smile.
She returned the gesture, not removing her arms from around me, “I missed you
lover.”
I snapped despite my earlier excuses for her actions, my anger from earlier
returning, “But not enough to keep yourself from jumping into bed with every
man you see, including not one, but two of my brothers?”
Her smile dropped and a scowl replaced it, “Finn you were gone, what was I
supposed to do? I thought your brothers would tell me what had become of you
but they told me you were dead.” She looked at the floor, practically begging
for sympathy but I could not seem to bring myself to provide any as I rolled my
eyes. What was wrong with me?
“My brothers already told me of your infidelity. At first I didn’t want to
believe it but you just confirmed it indefinitely. You did not have to sleep
with my brothers like some common harlot,” I pulled her arms from my neck quite
forcefully. “Every moment of the nine hundred years I spent in that box, a
dagger through my heart, I thought of you. I was hoping you’d be the same but I
can see immortality changed you too much to be repaired.” I turned away but she
grabbed my wrist before I could leave.
“Please Finn! I love you! Please don’t leave me again!” she pleaded and I
looked her in the eye. The next words that came from my mouth weren’t expected
even by myself…
“No Sage! I loved you and thought I still did but I see now I was delusional!
Just a delusional child,” I shook my head and stalked off, leaving her there
crying in the arms of one of my enemies. What was becoming of me, when had I
came to the realisation that I no longer held affection for her? A voice deep
at the back of my head kept whispering the same thing over and over every time
I asked myself a question. Elena.
===============================================================================
In a split second I flashed to the house, I needed to tell Niklaus about my
betrayal before the Salvatore’s managed to steal her from us. I didn’t care
what consequences awaited me, I wouldn’t let Damon Salvatore take another woman
from me. I just hoped he would be more understanding and considerate in the
circumstances. I reached the house and slammed the door open. Looking around
frantically for my brothers but no one could be seen. The only noise was modern
music coming from upstairs and I flashed to Kol’s room to find him on his bed,
eyes closed, seemingly asleep. I shook him awake.
He looked at me angrily and slightly concerned, “What the he-“He started
“Where is Niklaus?!” I asked in a hurry.
“He’s with Elijah, they’ll probably be back soon. What happened Finn?” He asked
cautiously, suddenly becoming alarmed.
I then proceeded to tell him about my encounter with Damon and Sage, his eyes
widening when I told him about my outburst. Before he could reply the door
slammed open downstairs and Niklaus’ drunk voice rung throughout the house.
“Kol come her!” He shouted slightly angrily but then proceeded to laugh along
with what sounded like Elijah, making me confused, what did they want with Kol?
We walked out together, preparing to face Elijah and Niklaus.
Here we go…

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
                                3rd Person POV
Klaus sat on the ground of the basement early in the morning, his wrists and
ankles bound by chains to the wall. The chains had been cursed by a witch to
ensure no magical nor supernatural being would be able to break free of them.
Only the one who had detained them would be able to free them, which in this
case was his noble brother who leant against the far wall, his jacket hanging
on a hook nearby along with his tie, and his sleeves rolled up. He and Finn had
spent the night trying to get through to their hybrid half-brother although
nothing had worked so far. Finn had retired to his room earlier on in the night
as he had plans for the day, but Elijah had stayed with Klaus. He had lost it
last night with Elena and almost seriously injured her never mind the fact that
he had been prepared to attack their other brother Kol, who had only been
trying to protect Elena from the livid hybrid. No one wished to discuss what
Klaus had said about the doppelganger being ‘his.’
Klaus had spent the night being tortured and tormented by his regret but he
still couldn’t quite control his wolf nature which screamed at him to go claim,
the sleeping soundly just two floors up, Elena as his own.
Elijah was beginning to give up when finally his brother conceded, “I’m sorry
Elijah may I be released now?” Klaus sounded truly sincere although Elijah knew
better than to trust him.
“Niklaus I do not doubt that you regret your actions last night however I do
not trust it will not happen again and so we are going to stay here and you are
going to tell me truthfully of your feelings for Elena because I will not allow
last night to repeat itself understood?” Elijah tried his best to be the elder
sibling and guide his siblings in the right direction but they often made it
harder than it was worth.
“Can we at least take this somewhere else Elijah? Somewhere preferably with
plenty of alcohol,” Klaus sighed.
The elder of the pair rolled his eyes before finally conceding, “Fine we may
but it is only the early hours of the morning so it’d be in your best interest
if you at least tried to remain quiet.” He walked towards the younger brother
and unshackled him.
Klaus stood and popped his bones that had grew stiff from being stuck in the
same place all night and nodded, “Of course brother we wouldn’t want to wake my
doppelganger now would we?”
Elijah sighed and walked off back to his room, intent on showering then
changing. Klaus followed wishing to do the same.
===============================================================================
After both had made themselves presentable they had met at the front door and
drove off to the Mystic Grill which was the closest bar to their residence.
They sat at the bar and compelled themselves two bottles of bourbon along with
two tumblers, although Klaus decided to just drink straight from the bottle,
deciding he’d need to be smashed to have this conversation.
===============================================================================
A bottle each later Klaus finally found the courage to speak up about his
feelings regarding the most recent doppelganger. “She’s just so much like Tatia
you know?” Elijah murmured his agreement. “Except she’s different. She’s so
affectionate and forgiving. I don’t know what to make of her. She kissed me you
know? But then she slapped me, right across the face,” Klaus’ face turned
downwards as Elijah chuckled at the image of the small human hitting the big
bad hybrid. “She’s just so damned confusing, does she want me or not? My wolf
side wants nothing more than to claim her but I don’t know if it’s just lust
filled attraction. But then I get jealous of how close she is to you, Finn and
Kol, she stays so distant from me and I want to feel the closeness that you
guys get to share with her! Is that really so bad?! I hate how I know you and
the others feel for her because I want her just for me!” Klaus sighed and took
a swig from his newly opened whisky bottle as Elijah did the same, long
forgetting about their tumblers, now sitting in a booth.
Elijah, now without his tie and suit jacket with some buttons undone on his
shirt and his sleeves rolled up, looking so natural, sighed, “I agree she is an
enigma, we kissed and she slapped me also. She must think that all we see in
her is Tatia because since that day she has been avoiding spending time with
me, instead favouring Kol and Finn, who she in aware had no feelings for her
ancestors. Perhaps we need to show her that she is wrong brother? All I know is
that I want her and I will fight you all to get her. I’m done with stepping
aside and allowing everyone to take what is mine just because I am supposed to
be the honourable brother.”
Klaus smirked, “Then I guess we have a competition on our hands, care to place
a wager?”
Elijah mirrored his brother’s expression, “What did you have in mind brother?”
“Whoever can get Elena into bed first can have her for the rest of her life, if
that is what she chooses, without interference from the others?” Klaus decided.
Elijah nodded in agreement, “We shall inform Finn and Kol of the wager when we
return home.” Suddenly his phone began ringing, “Speak of the devil and he
shall appear.” He pressed the answer button and brought it to his ear, “Hello?”
He asked curious to see why his youngest brother was interrupting their
drinking session.
"Elijah? It's Kol, Elena she's gone. I've looked everywhere and she's not here.
Elijah what if she's ran away? Nik will ki-“Kol started and Elijah attempted to
keep himself from laughing as the brother across from him was.
"Kol she's out with Rebekah, they're having a girls day/night. There's no need
to have a panic attack," They laughed again as Elijah reassured their youngest
brother. Suddenly Kol hung up with a growl, clearly angered by his brothers’
reactions.
Klaus and Elijah continued to laugh, “He is so whipped,” Klaus spoke between
laughs which brought forth a whole new session of laughter.
===============================================================================
Once their laughter had subsided they continued to drink and joke around until
they noticed darkness starting to take over the sky outside. They were both too
drunk to drive so they decided to run home which led to multiple tumbles and
breaks for laughter from the other before they finally reached home.
As Klaus slammed the door open, stumbling slightly with Elijah on his tail he
shouted up the stairs in the angriest tone he could muster up in his drunken
state, "Kol come here!" Both Elijah and Klaus burst out laughing at his
pathetic attempt at an angry tone.
Kol and Finn came walking down the stairs together, cautious and confused at
their brothers actions. It wasn’t like Elijah to be so drunk and childish. Plus
they knew their half-brother was going to be absolutely enraged when he found
out about what Finn had done.
Klaus’ face seemed to light up like a Christmas tree at the sight of his
brothers, “Ahh Kol andFinn, even better. I and Elijah have placed a wager…
whoever can get into Elena’s panties first can have her for the rest of
eternity!” He laughed along with Elijah, as Kol and Finn’s jaw’s dropped,
shocked that Elijah would agree to that, “If that’s what she wants of course.”
The youngest and eldest brothers in the room were speechless, what were they to
say? “Well are you in or not?” Klaus asked becoming slightly irritated at their
reactions, sometimes they were no fun.
Kol seemed to come to his senses first, “Sure, although I’m sure after a night
with me Elena definitely won’t want to be with any of you,” He answered
cockily, a smirk matching Elijah’s and Klaus’ making its way on his face.
“What about you Finn?” Elijah finally spoke.
Finn sighed and nodded, “Fine but we have more pressing subjects to discuss,
Kol has already been briefed, if you would join me in the living room.” He
walked to the room he’d suggested having no doubt that his brothers would
follow.
Elijah and Klaus seemed to sober up at that and did as their brother had
suggested, Klaus taking a seat on his armchair as Elijah stood and Kol laid
back on a couch, his long legs dangling over one of the arms and his head
resting on the other. Although he appeared relaxed he was ready to detain any
of his elder brothers, knowing all were unpredictable, not that he could say
much though. Finn stood in front of all of his younger brothers, all their eyes
on him.
Finn sighed, “I went looking for Sage today, I was following up the lead about
her having relations with the elder Salvatore. I wished to know of her
residence but Mr Salvatore would not tell me unless I told him how to get Elena
back,” suddenly Finn was pinned to the wall, a hand around his neck, he
expected it from Niklaus but instead on the hand belonging to the hybrid, it
belonged to Elijah.
“What did you do Finn?” He growled under his breath, and Kol sped over to where
his eldest brothers were staring each other down and placed his hand on
Elijah’s arm, ready to pull him of Finn, while Klaus remained in his spot, his
face unreadable.
Elijah dropped Finn to the floor, walking back to his previous spot as Kol
stayed put ready to protect his brother if push came to shove once again, and
the eldest held his throat still in shock from what had just ensued. He thought
Elijah wanted the best for Elena. “I told him about a secret passage at the
back of the property and of the best time to take Elena.”
Klaus chuckled surprising everyone, this side of Klaus was much more dangerous
than the angry side, and finally spoke up “Of course you did, lovesick fool!
And where is your prize bride? I expect you found her of course!”
Finn looked down in shame, “She was staying with the Salvatore’s all that time
and I lost my temper and it’s over now.”
Elijah spoke up once again “So you mean to tell us that you practically gave
Elena back for someone you didn’t even want? You do know the pain they put her
though do you not? They practically ripped her in half, constantly stuck in
between those stupid children!” Finn felt even more shame as his brother spoke.
“What do you propose we do Niklaus? We cannot allow them to take her.”
Kol butt in before Klaus could answer, “Well isn’t it clear? We should be the
one’s waiting for them instead of Elena and we should rip them apart!”
The sound of the door opening caused all conversations to cease. “We will
continue this later, Rebekah wishes to have a family night to show Elena that
we’re not just monsters” Elijah got the last word and they nodded in agreement
before they all walked into the hall, wishing to see Elena after the long day
they’ve all had without her.
They all gaped at her new look unable to speak until Kol broke the
uncomfortable silence.
“Wow…”
Chapter End Notes
     Please remember to leave your wonderful reviews!
***** Chapter 17 *****
                                   Elena POV
“Wow...” Kol spoke as his brothers came out of their stupor and nodded their
agreement, their eyes remaining on my form as though they had never seen a
woman before.
It was starting to make me feel uncomfortable as they scrutinised my body with
their eyes, however I would not dare to voice my discomfort. I looked down at
the floor hoping it would just open up and swallow me whole. I heard a throat
clear from above me that gained my and the boys’ attention.
There on the staircase stood Rebekah with an amused smile on her face, “Well
are you four going to keep gawking at the poor girl or are you going to help
her with her bags,” she raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow questioningly a her
brothers below her.
“Of course. Elena please allow me to take care of your bags,” Elijah stepped
forward, always the gentleman. He plucked the bags from my hands gently before
he was pushed out of my line of sight.
“Move Elijah! Give us a chance to be the gentlemen for once!” Klaus smiled at
me, doing his best to be charming.
Kol scoffed from his place behind us, “Nik you are anything but a gentleman!”
He laughed.
“Shut it Kol!” Klaus shouted behind him, a grin still in place on his face, “So
Love are there anymore bags in the car?”
I nodded, “Yes, there are a few in the trunk and on the backseat.”
He nodded and made his way past me to get to the car in the drive as Elijah
took the bags that he had previously taken from me up to my room. Kol glared in
the direction Klaus had just went, clearly annoyed at his elder half-brother
for being so rude to him. While Finn just remained silent.
Suddenly Kol flashed in front of me causing me to gasp and stumble backwards in
surprise, however Kol’s arm went around my waist, preventing me from falling or
moving from my place in his arms against his chest.
“Fucking stupid shoes,” He cursed under his breath looking at my shoes causing
me to giggle, his head snapped up and a rare genuine smile grew on his face,
“Careful Darling, Goddesses aren't meant to be on the floor,” his eyes ran
across my body, licking his lips as he gave a particularly hard squeeze to my
captured waist. I blushed and looked down, concealing my red face with my hair.
“Kol let the girl go, I’m sure she wishes to change into something
more…comfortable for tonights events,” Finn finally spoke from his new place
right behind his brother, his hand on Kol’s shoulder which Kol quickly shrugged
off before releasing me.
Rebekah scoffed from above us, “Stop being so barbaric. I swear every time you
men see a pretty girl you can’t keep your hands or eyes off her,” She rolled
her eyes. “Come on Elena let’s go get changed.” While she had been speaking she
had been descending the stairs and now she was pulling me away from her
brothers and back up the stairs. “Klaus put those bags in my room would you?
Elena and I don’t want to be disturbed!” Klaus growled in response causing us
to giggle.
We passed Elijah in the hallway, he looked embarrassed and taken back. I
offered him a smile which he returned as his eyes looked darker…lustful. I was
puzzled, why would Elijah be embarrassed? Or even lustful only when his eyes
met mine?
Realisation hit me as Rebekah pulled me into my room. There on my bed, splayed
was the lingerie I had bought earlier today. It’s not like I needed it, no one
would see me in it, which disappointed me slightly, but Rebekah had made a
pretty good case…
===============================================================================
Rebekah dragged me into Victoria’s Secret as I shook my head in disapproval.
“No Rebekah! I don’t need lingerie! No one will even see it!” I protested.
“But Elena…” She whined. “I swear it’ll make you feel a lot sexier and better
about yourself. Besides…” She trailed off with a mischievous grin and I raised
my eyebrow, “My brothers would absolutely die to see you in these!” She waggled
her eyebrows suggestively as she held up a red lace thong and giggled.
I blushed heavily and shook my head with a roll of my eyes, “Rebekah! You know
it’s not like that between me and any of your brothers,” I reminded her,
however something deep down inside agreed with her. “Fine I’ll get onething.”
===============================================================================
I didn’t stick with what I said of course, I got a lotmore than just one thing.
I had ended up getting: A red corset with matching stockings, underwear and
garter belt,
A white lace baby doll with matching thong and stockings,
A black lace and mesh garter teddy with matching stockings,
And a baby pink lace bralet with matching stocking, underwear and garter belt
also. With a few other random bits and pieces.
I had entertained Rebekah’s teasing somewhat too much. I had thought about the
guys as I had chosen my lingerie; the Red set for Kol (alluring and flirty)
The Black set for Klaus (dark and sinful)
The White set for Elijah (crisp and clean)
The Pink set for Finn (sweet and cute.) I shook my head, ridding myself of such
sinful thoughts, my arm was linked with their sisters for God’s sake.
Today had been a turning point for Rebekah and I, and I wouldn’t let anything
put us back in our old ways, especially not my attraction for her brothers. If
I was going to be stuck here for the rest of my life I’ll need a friend or two.
I know she had been encouraging me to be with one or all of her brothers but
I’m sure if I actually did give in to my imagination she would turn back into
the raging bitch I’d known her as before.
Rebekah sat us both down on my bed, now rid of the bags that once resided
there, “Do you believe me now?” She pressed.
“What do you mean Rebekah?” I groaned, I knew where this was leading.
She rolled her eyes, “You know exactly what I mean! My brothers are completely
infatuated with you!” She exclaimed throwing her arms up in the air in
frustration. “I mean when were Klaus and Kol ever gentlemen? Finn and Elijah?
Yes. But not them!” She giggled, sounding just like a teenage girl, reminding
me just how young she was when she was thrust into this life. “I mean, did you
see the way they were looking at you? I have neverseen any of them everlook at
anyonelike that! Not even at Tatia or Sage!”
I flinched at the mention of my eldest doppelganger, the one that started it
all, it was still a sore spot for me, and it was after all her fault that I’m
in this situation. If she had just kept her legs shut and chose a brother none
of this ever would have happened. I don’t know when I had become so hateful of
her or Katherine but even their name would send me spiralling. “So should we
change then?” I asked trying to change the subject and lighten the mood.
“We shall,” Rebekah giggled and bounced off the bed before speeding off to her
room and back, holding a pair of pink pyjamas. “I’ll change in the bathroom
then I hope you don’t mind but I invited the boys to join us tonight to show
you that we’re not the monsters that we’re perceived to be.” She bounced off to
the bathroom clearly excited to be spending time as a family.
“No I don’t!” I shouted through the door as I ruffled through the bag to find
some pyjamas for myself. I picked out a ruby red pair to go with my hair and my
new red slippers. I struggled to get out of the skin tight dress I had been
wearing and pulled on the red tank and red shorts, that I only just noticed, as
I looked in the full length mirror, showed a lot of cleavage and butt, with the
slippers. Rebekah walked out of the bathroom with the pink identical pair of
pyjamas and slippers on and her hair up in a messy bun. I copied her and put my
hair up too.
“Thanks. We don’t get to spend much time as a family,” she looked down at the
floor clearly upset and I pulled her into a hug. I don’t know how or why we
were so close now in such a short time span but I was enjoying it, she reminded
me so much of Caroline. She looked up at me as she hugged me back, “You’re like
the sister I never had.”
“We better get going downstairs now before the boys drag us down,” I joked
trying to lighten the mood.
“Yes we should. Come on then!” She pulled away and straightened herself before
linking her arm with mine again, our skin in contrast to one another’s, my skin
golden, hers pale. Polar opposites yet here we are arm in arm like best buds. I
sighed as she pulled me down the hallway and the stairway.
Time for family night…

Chapter Notes
     Please remember to leave your lovely reviews, they make my day.
After our descent of the staircase, I and Rebekah entered the living room. Kol
sat in the arm chair opposite to where we stood and where Klaus sat on the
other arm chair, Finn and Elijah sat on the three seater sofa facing the
television and window that was now covered with the large antique curtains.
There was only one seat left between Finn and Elijah yet there were two of us.
Upon my realisation my face fell and Kol must have noticed.
“Lighten up Darling, you can sit on my lap, I assure you it would be much more
comfortable and I promise that I’ll be good…if you ask,” Kol smirked with a
wink as he patted his knee.
“Kol I’m sure she’d much rather sit with me,” Klaus shut Kol up without looking
at me. The two remained glaring at the other, identical smirks on their faces,
in a staring match. Everyone else in the room, including myself, rolled their
eyes at the childish antics of the two youngest men in the room.
“I’ll be back,” Rebekah whispered to me, although I was sure everyone could
hear her with their supernatural hearing, and sped off in the direction in
which we came from. With a minute she was back, two quilts, multiple pillows
and blankets in hand and over her shoulder, “We will sit on the floor to keep
you from being molested by any of my perverted brothers,” she said smiling at
me to which I reciprocated her smile, ignoring the growling from the men
surrounding us. She spread the quilts out on the floor in front of the
television so that we all would be surrounding the coffee table, which had
copious amounts of alcohol and snacks, along with a game of monopoly, which
caused a giggle to escape my thoughts and questioning looks from the men to
which I ignored, she put the pillows down in a row on the end of the quilts
that were closest to the TV, and placed the blankets in a pile next to the
makeshift bed. It reminded me so much of when I was a child having sleepovers
with Caroline and Bonnie except now I was being held against my will by the
five eldest, most dangerous vampires in the world.
I yearned for the past when my life was not so complicated. I could imagine
being with Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler right now, just like it had been
before the Salvatore’s had come to town. The Salvatore brothers, stuck in love
with an old fling, who had turned them, lied to them and abandoned them, which
caused them to be drawn to me, bringing with them chaos and murder. Stefan had
been my salvation, I had lost all hope when he came to town but he had shown me
that although I had lost my parents I could still find happiness and love, I
had fallen in love with his mystery almost immediately as he had me, yet now we
had grown estranged since he had left with Klaus, leaving me hopeless and
alone, wanting nothing more than my lover, he hadn’t been the same man upon his
return, he had become vengeful, he only cared about the demise of the hybrid
next to me and his family, whom I was playing a game of Monopoly and joking
with, such betrayal could not be forgiven despite the circumstances I was in, I
was not being forced to enjoy my time here, Stefan did not care about the
collateral damage that would be in the wake of his revenge, I couldn’t be in
love with someone that held such hatred. Then there was Damon, the elder
impulsive Salvatore, he had changed since the first time we had met, he had
been homicidal and emotionless, I had considered him a monster, yet he had just
been betrayed by the love his life, he became a much better man when he had met
me, I knew he was in love with me, it was obvious but I could not and would not
ever reciprocate the type of love he felt for me. I had grown to love him, the
way a sister would a brother, while Stefan had been away, I had seen a
completely different side of him and he had made sure I was well taken care of
and was trying to make up for the sins he had committed over his lifetime to
which I respected.
I was drawn back into the game myself and the Mikaelson’s were playing as
Rebekah nudged me lightly in the side, “Are you okay?” She whispered and I
became acutely aware of their eyes on me and the few tears that stained my
face, I quickly reached up to wipe them away, quite roughly I must admit.
“Yeah,” I smiled lightly yet they didn’t seem satisfied, “uh, who’s go is it?”
“Mine!” Kol shouted causing me to laugh slightly at how much of a child he was.
And so we proceeded to play our game of Monopoly with laughs and arguments…
===============================================================================
Elijah had won much to Kol and Klaus’ disdain, Kol had huffed and crossed his
arms across his chest, and Klaus had argued that he cheated due to his own
paranoia. Elijah had basked in the glory and his brothers’ jealousy. Finn had
been amused at how childish his younger brothers were acting, as had Rebekah
and I. Now we sat watching Twilight, to which the boys had groaned, Kol and
Finn had required an explanation yet in the end they all demanded that we not,
however they couldn’t resist giving in as Rebekah and I gave our best puppy dog
eyes. Rebekah and I had moved to sit on the other side of the coffee table so
we weren’t too close to the TV, we were leaning against the sofa where Finn and
Elijah sat, Rebekah leant against the empty area whereas I had been forced to
lean in between Elijah’s legs, which I had realised were now dressed in
sweatpants which amused me greatly since I’d never seen him in anything but
immaculate suits, I would have sat in the same position with Finn but he had
been distant and made sure to keep his legs close together so there was no room
for me, Kol and Klaus had once again argued that I sit with one of them and
Elijah was clearly glad that I chose him, I would prefer to keep Rebekah close
knowing she’d help me if I began feeling uncomfortable. We girls had a bowl of
popcorn between us and a glass of vodka and coke beside each of us. I’m not
sure how much I had drank but my head had begun to feel fuzzy. I was very aware
of how close my head was to Elijah’s genitalia, I was practically leaning
against it but, I couldn’t help in my buzzed state, than to nuzzle the back of
my head into it more, feeling Elijah tense against me. The others too wrapped
up in the movie, which was extremely funny to see especially when the boys had
disagreed so vehemently, to notice what was happening between the two of us. I
threatened to peer up at the man above me, yet his eyes remained on the screen
and so I pressed back further to which his head snapped down to meet my eyes,
his eyes darker than usual, and his hand grabbing my hair in a tight grip, not
too tight to hurt yet it stopped my movement.
He let my hair go and looked back at the screen, as did I, a smile playing at
my lips and I grabbed the vodka bottle from the table and took three large
swigs, I’d need courage for what I was about to do. I shook off the blanket
that laid over my lap and stood up, whispering an ‘I’ll be back’ knowing none
of them would actually hear me, except I hoped that Elijah did and that he’d
get the hint and follow. I made sure to walk behind the sofa as to not block
the TV from their gazes and gain more of their attention than needed and
stalked in the direction of the kitchen. I did not look back to check if he was
following me just held confidence and hope that he would. I entered the kitchen
and left the door open in invitation. I kept my back to it and went towards a
counter to which I acted like I was interested in it although nothing laid on
it.
I smiled to myself as I heard the door shut behind me and turned around just to
be faced with a very lusty animalistic Elijah. His eyes dark and serious, he
grabbed the back of my head and pushed his lips onto mine, the kiss hard and
demanding, not at all what I would expect from Elijah, I moaned into it and
wrapped my arms around his neck, practically standing on my tip toes. His hands
moved to my waist and I squealed in surprise as he lifted me up and placed me
on the counter that I had long since forgotten. His lips moved to my neck as I
wrapped my legs around his waist and tilted my head to give him more access. I
could not hold back my moans as his lips attacked my neck with such fervour.  
“No teasing Elijah,” I whined, I was too drunk to care about how I sounded.
“Who said I was teasing?” He replied huskily to which I moaned at the tone. His
voice was so sexy like that and I would savour it forever. His hand skilfully
moved from my waist to the waistband of my shorts and he pulled away making me
whine at the loss to which he smirked and chuckled darkly. He pulled them down
my legs so swiftly it caused me to gasp but he paid it no mind as he ripped my
top from my body. His eyes turned impossibly darker at my state of undress,
looking truly like the predator he was, I sat on the kitchen counter in nothing
but a black lace thong that left nothing to the imagination, I hadn’t bothered
with a bra seeing as I had only been in my night-time attire, prepared for bed.
He groaned and kissed me again before trailing kisses down my neck and chest,
to which I leaned back against the counter, and then he took one nipple into
his mouth, swirling his tongue around it skilfully and scraping his teeth
against it lightly which made me arch my back, he moved his mouth to the other
and gave it the same attention before kissing down my taut stomach. When his
mouth reached waistband of my panties he pulled away, a whine ripping through
my throat which amused him, and kneeled on the ground, kissing and licking from
my ankle, up my calf and thigh. He ripped my panties, making them fall to the
ground to which I made a noise of displeasure yet he promised to buy me a
thousand new pairs, then he proceeded to repeat his process of kissing and
licking his way to my core, on the other leg. He was just about to lean into my
clean shaven pussy, I could feel his warm breath upon it.
“Well, well, well, what’s going on here?”
 
***** Chapter 19 *****
I shot up, my heart beating faster than ever, my face flushed, wrapping my arms
around myself in an attempt to cover myself, not wanting the third party to see
my naked body. I stared at the man in the doorway, my eyes wide and my mouth
opening and shutting, like a fish, unsure of what to say or do. But the
intruder just stood there, an amused smirk kissing his lips, clearly enjoying
my embarrassment, but his eyes, emotionless, told a different story, a story of
danger and unpredictability. Elijah made no move to remove himself from between
my legs, instead he remained there, is head leant against my inner thigh, his
muscles tense and the only sound coming from him was the sound of his teeth
grinding in annoyance. I nudged him to move and he got the message, as he
straightened himself, brushing off his suit jacket. He took the jacket off and
passed it to me, which I gratefully accepted with a nod and pulled it on,
without looking at me before standing in front of me to shield me from his
youngest brother.
Kol pushed himself off the doorframe, his smirk still in place, yet he wasn’t
fooling anybody, he was pissed, “Congratulations, brother! You won the wager!”
He exclaimed cheerfully as he walked closer to Elijah, before patting him on
the shoulder, the gesture falsely friendly however I could see the way his hand
lingered slightly longer than needed and how his hand tensed as though he were
squeezing. Elijah’s muscles in his back flexed underneath his ruffled suit.
They kept eye contact with each other as though they were having a silent
conversation.
I looked between the two brothers, as best as I could from my position behind
Elijah anyway, my eyebrows knitted together in confusion, “What bet?” Both
brothers snapped their heads towards me, Elijah’s eyes full of regret, and
Kol’s still remaining emotionless.
The latter pushed the elder out of the way, his eyes meeting mine, but Elijah
grabbed Kol by the arm, his grip tight, to keep him from reaching me, but Kol
quickly shrugged him off, his eyes menacing, “Did he not tell you Darling?” He
asked falsely innocently and sympathetically, to which I shook my head in a
negative way. He put his hands either side of my thighs, not touching but
nearly, and I tried to ignore the urge to pull away, I could see Elijah’s jaw
tick from behind him and he remained tense, ready to attack if needed, “Well my
brothers and I made a wager in regards to who could make their way into your
bed first. And the prize was well…You.” He said plainly, his eyes running
across my body before meeting my eyes once again, his eyes almost black, the
perfect picture of danger.
I felt my eyes water and pushed Kol away from me, which he let me, before
sliding off the counter, steadying myself then squaring up and turning towards
Elijah, yet he could not meet my gaze, “Is that why you were doing this?” My
voice broke, “Is that all I am to you, a prize?” I said bitterly, tears hitting
my cheeks yet I could not stop myself as my hand inched up before springing
down, my hand meeting Elijah’s cheek with force to which his head snapped to
the side, “I should never have thought better of any of you!” I looked to Kol
now, his eyes were on Elijah with a satisfied smile, “And you!” I pointed at
him, walking closer to him, his eyes met mine and his smile fell before his
face became regretful as he noticed the tears that stained my cheeks.
“Elena I’m sor-“He started but I could not listen to another word he said as I
slapped him just as I had his older brother. They both kept their heads down.
“Don’t either of you ever touch me again!” I shouted at them my finger, pointed
at both of them, “Do you understand?!” They nodded in reply and I walked away
from the pair, tears pouring down my face, no doubt ruining my makeup. Klaus,
Finn and Rebekah stood in the doorway of the living room, the film now off,
their faces masks of confusion. I could not help the thoughts of all of their
betrayal. Finn made a move to touch me yet I would have none of it, “No! Don’t
you dare touch me!” I flinched away from the three of them, backing up,
unknowing of what was and wasn’t behind me. Their faces grew confused.
“Elena what’s wrong?” Klaus’ voice wrung out, false unease at my appearance.
“What’s wrong?” I cackled, sobs wracking my body, “You bastards made a bet
about who could fuck me first!” My back came into contact with a wall and I
slid down it until I was sitting on the floor, my knees to my chest and my face
in my hands. I could hear their muffled voices yet my sobs were all I could
hear clearly as the memories of all the things I had done with the brothers,
how I’d let Finn in and how I’d started to trust the others. How stupid could I
be? They were monsters. I could feel someone’s hand on me and I pulled away, I
kept whispering, “Don’t touch me,” as I continued to cry.
===============================================================================
I don’t know how long I stayed like that before I was being cradled against
someone’s chest, despite my best efforts to stay on the floor and to keep them
from picking me up. I felt a whoosh of cold air pass by me and then I was being
placed on something soft and warm, my bed I guessed. I stayed in my foetal
position, shielding myself from the family of vampire’s, I knew they were
there, I could feel their eyes on me and I could hear their muffled voices.
When the voices ceased I dared myself to take a peek at my surroundings and I
was reminded of my first day here as I realised I was not in my own bed but in
a foreign one, I hadn’t seen it before so it was not Klaus’ or Elijah’s, and I
could not imagine it being Rebekah’s as it was painted a dark navy, nor could I
imagine it being Kol’s as it was too tidy and everything was neatly set out. It
must be Finn’s room I deduced. No one was in the room and so I stood and peeked
out into the hallway, noticing that it was empty, I made a run down the hall,
in search of my room. I found it relatively quickly, and shut my door as
quietly as possible and locked it to prevent anyone just walking in, I knew
that they’d be able to break down the door if they wanted to get in but the
locked door gave me some dishonest sense of privacy and safety. I took off
Elijah’s suit jacket and walked to my closet, pulling on a baby blue nightgown
then walking to the bathroom and wiping off my messed up make-up.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep right now. The anger and adrenaline still
rushing through my veins. So I walked over to the sliding glass double doors,
unlocking and sliding one open. When I stepped out the cold air instantly hit
me yet due to the heat that was spreading around me from my sexual frustration
it barely felt like a chill. The balcony wasn’t too big but it wasn’t small
either, on it there was a table and two chairs, I noticed that the other
bedrooms above and around me had one too but no one was on there’s thankfully.
I moved to the edge, leaning against the black metal banister, and stared out
at the grounds, it was empty but I could make out the silhouettes of the
hybrid’s that patrolled the gates and wall. There were lights all over the
ground, keeping it illuminated if any intruders came in. I could see the forest
from this high up yet there was no edge, only a road down the middle, probably
leading to a highway or town. I sighed, there would be no escape from here. I
wondered whether my friends would come to save me or if they already had a
plan, they probably did, I could imagine Stefan or Damon bursting through the
door of my room and carrying me out, and Bonnie keeping the Originals down, as
Caroline and Alaric detained the hybrids, a small smile graced my lips at the
thought of my friends. They’d probably called Jeremy already, I hope he’d
stayed away, I didn’t want him anywhere near this, because Klaus would probably
kill him, or at least hurt him, just to hurt me.
The cold began to get to me as the anger faded away and sadness replaced it. I
wanted to be at home, with my family and friends, God what would my parents
think of this? I wouldn’t burden myself with those thoughts, they would
completely disapprove of my life. This was the burden of being the
doppelganger. I sighed and wrapped my arms myself before, reluctantly, walking
back into my room and locking the door. I dragged the blanket off the bed and
grabbed a pillow, pulling it towards my window seat and making a makeshift bed
upon it. I climbed into the ‘bed’, and the seat was just about big enough for
my small form. I stared out at the sky as I lay down, the sky was full of stars
and the moon was almost full, a beautiful night.
When I was unable to find my sleep, I realised I would need something to
encourage my mind to shut down, I knew there was nothing in my room and groaned
as I remembered that there was only one place, that I knew of, that I could
find the thing I needed. I threw my blanket off me and pulled on a dressing
gown to cover more than what I was wearing was. I grabbed the suit jacket off
the bed and tip toed out of my room and in the direction of where I needed to
go.
I opened the door I knew was lead me to the location I was searching the door
and found it uninhabited, I felt relief flood me, I wasn’t ready to see him
yet. I wasn’t ready to see anyone yet, my drunkenness had disappeared upon
Kol’s arrival and that had made the mortification even worse.
I chose Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift and sat on the window seat,
placing a pillow behind my head for comfort.
===============================================================================
About ten chapters in I felt my eyes grow heavy and got up and grabbed the suit
jacket, that I’d previously discarded of, and draped it over myself after
sitting back down again. I read more of the book but slowly fell asleep on the
seat.
***** Chapter 20 *****
Chapter Summary
     I'm so sorry I haven't updated recently, I've had a lot on my plate,
     I promise to spam update to make it up to you guys!
My neck was stiff and my body ached after my short sleep on the small window
seat. I awoke to a grey sky and a dark room, the moonlight and the lamps in the
garden were the only sources of light in the library. I had an eerie feeling,
that touched every nerve, like someone, or something, was watching me and it
made my hairs stand on end. I couldn’t move, my body frozen still and terror
filled me. My eyes scanned the grounds that the large window allowed me to,
every shadow seemed to be moving and setting my fear alight but I knew deep
down that who or what that was watching me was closer than I’d liked to have
thought. When I didn’t see anything outside, I pushed myself into a sitting
position, keeping my knees close to my chest and turned my gaze onto the room.
My heart beat heavy and loud, it felt like it could burst out of my chest at
any minute. My light was very limited as I moved my eyes over the shelves of
books.
Something caught my eye as I found my gaze in the centre of the room, where I
knew a grand chair sat, I couldn’t see clearly what it was but it appeared to
be something sitting there. I backed myself into the corner and my heart beat
ten times faster. Its eyes glowed a deep bright red, it was staring right at
me. My throat grew tight and I felt the colour drain from my face.
“Hello?” My voice croaked and echoed around the room. I’m not sure if I truly
wanted a reply but something compelled me to do so.
I saw it smile and my blood went cold, why did I keep calling it ‘it’? I saw it
stand up, it was taller than your average man and slightly muscled. I felt my
body come back to life and I threw myself up and onto the floor, almost falling
on my way, and ran for the door. It wouldn’t open as I pulled it with all my
strength, and tears splashed at my cheeks, as the figure grew closer and it
began to laugh full heartedly as though it’d just been told a hilarious joke. I
began hitting the door and screaming but it wouldn’t budge. I fell to the
ground, my back against the door, and curled up into a ball, and cried
uncontrollably.
I looked up, it was so much closer now, its laughter echoing off the walls and
growing louder. “Go away!” I screamed at it, but my helplessness only seemed to
humour it further. I hid my face in my knees once again and continued to cry,
this was it.
Suddenly the door fell out behind me and my back hit the floor. The siblings
surrounded my, their faces set in worry, I sat up quickly to check if it was
still there but found the room empty, now full of light. Where did it go?
“Elena, what’s wrong?” Rebekah asked, her voice wary.
I turned towards her, “Something was in there with me. Didn’t you see it?” I
asked, questioning my own sanity, as my eyes once again fell to the room I’d
just resided in.
“See what, Elena? Nothing’s there,” She replied slowly and I felt her hand
touch my shoulder but I flinched away, not ready for human contact after
tonight’s ordeal, especially not from the people who were behind me, their eyes
on me.
“It was right there! It was laughing! Didn’t you hear it?!” I turned towards
the siblings, all their faces were confused and their eyebrows were furrowed.
Rebekah shook her head and I felt tears spill from my eyes once again.
I pushed myself off the floor, and hit Finn’s hands away when he attempted to
help me stand, the pain from their betrayal still scorching my heart. I looked
at them all again, they were looking at me like I was nuts. “I’m not crazy!” I
shouted at them, not believing it completely myself, and judging by the looks
on their faces neither did they.
I ran through the hall and down the stairs, tears streaming down my cheeks and
pushed open the door, forgetting where I was and who I was with.
I ran to the well-lit gates, where three hybrid guards stood. They turned
towards me and their eyes lit up in interest as they took in my barely dressed
form, I didn’t care that they could see almost everything, in fact I decided to
use it to my advantage.
“Hey,” I said seductively and bit my lip, hoping that it’d be sexy. I needed to
get out of here. It seemed to have worked as smirks moulded onto their faces.
“What’s a pretty thing like you doin’ out at this time?” The youngest looking
asked, he had a southern accent, Texas maybe?
“Oh, I’m just out for a walk, I got a bit lonely, and thought I’d see if any of
you would like to join me?” I faked innocence.
“Well we’re kinda busy ri-“The eldest looking hybrid started, his eyes
unbelieving, but the other two quickly shushed him as their eyes run over my
form.
“We’d love to,” The last hybrid answered, sharing a look with the first hybrid.
“But Klaus will be mad,” The wary hybrid said.
“Well you stay here then Reggie,” The last hybrid replied, giving ‘Reggie’ a
scolding look to which he looked to the ground and nodded. The two hybrids
opened the gate, I went to step out of the gate but they shook their heads,
“Sorry but Klaus said no one was to leave without his permission.” That crushed
my dreams.
I stepped back and they came closer before pulling the gates until they were
almost shut. So maybe my dreams weren’t completely destroyed. If I could get
rid of these two and get past ‘Reggie’ then I’d be home free.
“I’m Connor and this is Brett, by the way,” the first hybrid, ‘Connor’ told me.
We walked along, Connor to my right and Brett to my left. I could feel them
exchanging looks over me and their eyes searching my barely covered body. I
tried to avoid the dark areas, afraid that the creature from earlier would
emerge from them, but the hybrid’s seemed to be trying to lead me into them.
Brett grabbed my arm and pulled me into a kiss, my eyes widened and my hands
pushed at his chest, he let me go and I stumbled to the ground, the skirt of my
gown almost lifting up completely. “What are you doing?” I accused.
They both shared a disappointed look before turning towards me with matching
predatory grins. My blood went cold and I went t get back up but Connor pushed
me down and climbed on top of me, effectively pinning me, I went to scream but
he put his hand over my mouth, silencing me. Tears sprung in my eyes. I saw
Brett undoing his belt and began struggling violently, like a fish out of
water. No please no. His jeans fell to the ground, and his hard member stood at
attention as he stroked it. I felt rustling against my thigh and I knew that
Connor was discarding his jeans also. I struggled more and more but nothing
helped. I felt Connor’s dick touch my entrance and I couldn’t help but wail
against his hand.
A roar close by alerted my attackers and I saw them pale…
***** Chapter 21 *****
My vision was blurred by my tears but I could still clearly see the frame of a
wolf, its eyes were a glowing amber, like the embers of a flame, and its fur as
black as night. I found myself attracted to the wolf, like two magnets, and
somehow I knew it’d protect me. It was growling at the two hybrids who were
attacking me, and they both retreated, leaving me on the floor, shaking
uncontrollably and unable to move to safety. The wolf’s mouth was open, showing
everyone its glistening white teeth that could slice through flesh with ease.
It pounced on Brett first, Connor still too close to me, and the sound of
shrill screams and flesh ripping filled the air, the sickly smell of blood met
me and I vomited violently on the grass beside my head. I lay there on the
grass, staring at the sky, listening to the wolf kill my attackers until
suddenly the sound stopped and it became silent again. Hands touched me and I
screamed, jumping far away from whatever attempted to feel me. I looked in the
direction of whomever it was and saw Klaus. I should’ve been scared but I threw
myself at him and into his arms.
He was tentative to hold me but he eventually held me, I wrapped my arms around
his neck and my legs around his waist. I didn’t want him to ever let me go. I
wept into the column of his throat and He lifted us off the ground, I swayed
slightly at the sudden movement but he kept me tight against his body, his
stature protective and his touch comforting. I could tell we were moving,
probably in the direction of the house but I didn’t move to check, too busy
breaking down in my enemy’s embrace. He must’ve been the wolf, my protector.
I heard a door shut quietly close by, signalling that we were inside, I
expected Klaus to drop me now and stop being so loving but he held onto my
tighter and I reciprocated that. Suddenly voices surrounded us and I whimpered
and nuzzled further into Klaus’ neck and tightened my arms around his neck, I
didn’t want to see anyone else right now. I could faintly hear Klaus shushing
them and then we were moving again. I didn’t care that I was barely dressed, I
knew that Klaus wouldn’t allow them to do anything. I could tell that we were
walking up the stairs by the way he kept shifting me in his arms, trying to
shelter me from the movement. I was grateful that he hadn’t left me to walk
alone, not sure that I’d be able to, my legs felt like jelly still.
I heard another door shut and then I was being placed on a bed and Klaus was
trying to untangle himself from my arms. I whimpered, “Please, don’t leave me.”
I begged and tried to hold him to me.
He chuckled lowly, “Don’t worry, Love. I’m just going to wash this blood off
and get some clothes on.”
It was then that I opened my eyes and realised that he was naked and covered in
dirt and blood. I ran my eyes over his body, intrigued by every muscle and
curve and just as I was about to see his girth he cleared his throat and my
attention moved to his face.
“I’d suggest you doing the same after me. I’m sorry I got some blood on you.”
He apologised as he moved to go to the bathroom and I realised that we were in
his bedroom again. He shut the door and a second later I heard the shower
running.
I walked around the room, looking at all the various antiques, and paintings.
The artistry all had the same signature, Klaus’. He must have painted these. I
ran my fingers along the rims of the frames, enjoying the rough feeling. I came
across one painting in particular that caught my attention, it was me in a
black gown, my hand in the fur of the same wolf from earlier, Klaus. It was
beautiful but why would Klaus paint me? I knew he’d drawn for Caroline before
but she was the object of his affections, I was his prisoner and he hated me. I
couldn’t drag my eyes away from it, taking in every detail. My heart longed for
it.
I didn’t notice that I had an admirer until they cleared their throat, I spun
around to see Klaus watching me, now in pyjamas bottoms and damp hair, a serene
smile in place and his eyes loving? I shook my head and smiled shyly.
“You can shower now if you want? And I’ll go fetch you some clothes, if you
want to stay with me tonight.” He rubbed the back of his neck, appearing the
most awkward I’d ever seen him.
I only nodded in reply, my mouth dry from the sight of his glistening pale
chest, I had to remind myself that I was still mad at him, at all of them for
betting on me. I walked by him, doing my best to avoid making skin to skin
contact, and into the shower, slamming the door shut.
I climbed into the still running shower after stripping off, Klaus must have
left it on for me and I was grateful to not have to wait for the water to warm
up. I enjoyed the feeling of the hot water on my cold skin, but when I saw the
water turn red and brown from the blood and dirt I fell apart and onto the
floor. I sat in the shower, arms wrapped around myself and tears streaming down
my face and mixing with the water. I was nearly just raped. I considered self-
harming again, the pain too much to cope with, but I knew not too, the
consequences would be too severe.
===============================================================================
 
I left the shower once the water ran clear, turning the water off and wrapping
my body in a towel before realising I didn’t have any clean clothes in here. A
knock on the door wrung out and I jumped in surprise before pulling my towel
tighter around me and moving to unlock it, opening it slightly. On the other
side stood Klaus, a pair of my plaid pyjamas in hand, “Clean clothes as
promised.” He bowed slightly causing me to smile.
“Thank you,” I whispered and took the pyjamas from his outstretched hand before
shutting the door after he nodded in reply. I changed into the clothes and
walked back out into Klaus’ room, smelling fresh and like him. He was sitting
on his bed, his back to me but he turned to see me when I left the bathroom.
“Can I still stay here?” I asked quietly, afraid he’d just say no.
“Of course, you can take the bed and I’ll sleep on the floor.”
“NO!” I shouted quickly and he looked at me surprised, “I’m sorry, I just meant
please don’t, you can sleep in the bed with me. Please.” I apologised quickly,
a blush high on my cheeks and my gaze to the ground, embarrassed about my
outburst.
He found my shyness hilarious as he laughed and I found myself smiling at him,
I’d never seen him so innocent, “Okay. Come on then, I’m exhausted.” He fell
back so he was lying on the bed and half off, and patted the bed. I climbed
onto the right side of the bed and lifted up the covers, lying down and then
draping the quilt over me. Klaus shuffled so that he was lying beside me, on
his back and covered the bottom half of himself with the quilt. I lay on my
side watching him, he looked so relaxed and I couldn’t help study the details
of his face and chest, he was so peaceful when he was sleeping.
When I couldn’t sleep I shuffled closer to him and draped my arm over his toned
abdomen and lay my head on his chest. He shifted slightly and I looked up at
him, he was looking down at me, a curious expression on his face, his blue eyes
interested. I smiled shyly, “Is this okay?” I asked and he nodded in reply
before laying back. I went back to my previous position and closed my eyes and
it wasn’t long before I was following him into sleep…

Chapter Summary
     *Trigger* Mentions of Self harm!
I slept relatively well that night, i suspected that Klaus was manipulating my
dreams so that I wouldn't have nightmares because vampires never existed, and
because every now and again it would drift slightly and I'd see his dreams of
what I could only guess was his childhood. However waking up was a different
story.
I woke up to an empty bed and panicked, the wounds from last night too fresh,
the fear of being alone overwhelming. Suddenly my heartbeat turned frantic and
I found myself unable to breathe. Ringing filled my ears and nausea overwhelmed
me. I tried to stand, afraid to vomit on Klaus' floor, but my legs were too
weak to hold my weight. I fell to the cold, hard ground with a loud thud. Tears
streamed from my eyes, I was having a panic attack, I used to get them a lot
after my parents died but not much since and especially not to this extreme.
All my senses were filled with something and so I wasn't aware of the world
around me.
I started to try my old coping mechanism, "one, two, three, four," I whispered,
"five, six, seven, eight," my breathing started to regulate, "nine, ten,
eleven, twelve," my heartbeat slowed down, "thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
sixteen," the ringing disappeared, "seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty." My
panic attack subsided and I crawled my way into the bathroom. I was embarrassed
that I'd let my emotions get the better of me. I stood slowly, wobbling, just
to look in the mirror and I hated what I saw, a weak little girl with a tear
stained face. I almost punched the reflection of myself but thought better,
knowing that Klaus would be pissed at me.
I turned on the shower and climbed in, not caring that the water was freezing.
I just let the water cascade over me, my head rested against the wall, my mind
far away, with my friends and Jeremy and Alaric. I didn't cry instead I became
angry. My right fist collided with the wall first, then my left, then I was
just outright fighting a wall. When I became too tired to continue I slid to
the ground, my knuckles split and pouring with blood. I jolted up and
practically ran to the draws under Klaus' sink. Searching. When my fingers
touched the object that desired, I almost sighed in relief. I grabbed a mint
tea tree scented body wash, learning from last time, and rushed back to the
shower. I poured a generous amount of the body wash in and around the shower,
masking the scent, and sat down inside.
I didn't think twice about my next action, in fact I doubt I thought about it
at all, but in that moment, as blade met the skin of my thigh my mind went
blank and all I could feel was the sting that it left behind. I repeated this a
few times, pressing harder each time and alternating between my thighs and my
wrists.
"Elena?! Are you okay in there?!" I heard Klaus shout from the other side of
the door, causing me to jump and drop the blade.
Could he smell the blood? No, he would have burst in if he could. "Yeah, I'll
be out in a minute!" I shouted in reply, before hearing his footsteps as he
left. I breathed a sigh of relief and picked the blade up and turning the
shower off. Upon stepping out I realised that I had nothing to wear and so I
decided to take one of Klaus' bath robes, it fell to the floor, obviously
having been tailored for him, and I couldn't have been more grateful.
Opening the door I realised that Klaus had completely left the room and came to
the conclusion that I would have to rush back to my room to get dressed. I
opened the door to the hallway and peeked out, relieved that no one was there,
and walked quickly towards my door. When I got inside I slammed the door shut
and leant against it.
When my moment of relaxation ended my stomach began rumbling and I moaned in
defeat, I hadn't eaten properly for a while and I had done a lot in that short
amount of time.
I walked towards my closet and came to the realisation that I would have to
wear my baggy pyjamas or the only pair of swearpants and only sweatshirt that I
owned here, they were the only things tbat would hide the cuts, and I didn't
know how the siblings would react to either.
I decided to go with the black sweatpants and sweatshirt, deciding that they
would be the safest option as they wouldn't tell me to get dressed or call me
lazy. I put on some black slippers to complete the look.
I didn't want to go downstairs but my body won the battle of mind versus body,
the hunger too extreme. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I could do
this. I left my room and came to the top of the staircase.
Would they notice?
***** Chapter 23 *****
“Don’t ever talk to, or touch me again!” I screamed behind me as I slammed my
door shut.
I knew that no one would follow me, they knew that I was too angry for any of
their company and they were probably busy arguing with each other like
squabbling children. Even the thought caused me to roll my eyes and grit my
teeth.
I screamed in frustration and fell face first onto my bed, continuing to scream
into the soft silk pillows. Once my screaming subsided, I practically rolled
off of my bed before walking over to the drawers where I kept the diary Elijah
had given me. Upon finding the diary and a pen, I proceeded to get comfortable
on the window seat, that I had created previously to make it feel more like
home, once comfy I then wrote down my thoughts and feelings…
===============================================================================
Dear Diary,
Living with the Mikaelsons is a lot worse than I ever could have imagined. The
men are like dogs to a bone, and Rebekah… I don’t even know what to think of
her, one minute she hates me the next she’s treating me like a sister.
Finn, the eldest, is so sweet and kind to me, yet I feel as though he is
keeping something from me, I can just feel it although I do not know him very
well I feel a connection to him. He’s my confident yet I don’t know if I should
trust him or not, his concern for me seems genuine but something is just wrong
there and to top it all off he has a secret girlfriend or something, called
Sage, that he hasn’t mentioned once to me! What kind of name is Sage anyway?
Then there’s Elijah, since being here I’ve noticed he’s not so noble as he
wishes people to perceive, I’ve noticed a darkness inside of him, and I’m not
as scared as I should be. Although I’ve seen the worst of him here, I’ve also
seen the best, he’s still my protector and I’ve come to realise that he
harbours some form of feelings for me yet I’m not sure if I’m ready to come to
terms with what those entail as of yet.
Oh and Klaus! Seriously I thought he was just a murderous monster before but
now I’ve realised he’s a lot more complex than that. I mean of course he still
can be a murderer and a monster, and don’t forget bipolar! But I’ve seen a soft
side of him, one that cares and is protective. I’ve slept in the Devil’s bed
and now I don’t think he’s that bad. Sometimes he makes me feel crazy because
of how easily his emotions and actions change but I know that there’s good
inside, no matter how deep and I’ve made it my personal mission to bring that
side of Klaus out until the light beats over the dark. Somehow he’s become a
friend, yet he still stares at me like a piece of meat and that he wants to
devour me.
And let’s not forget Kol, the youngest male of the Mikaelson clan, a real
predator and pervert, I’m surprised he still has his hands, the amount he lets
them wander! He’s probably what you’d call and man-whore. He’s both hurt me and
protected me in my time here and so I don’t know whether to hate or trust him,
it’d probably be best to do neither for my own safety. He’s fun and he can
light up my day sometimes, even with his dirty tongue and terrible humour, but
somehow he always ruins it in some way. He’s very defensive and he seems to
keep his walls up high, he must have been hurt in the past. And much like his
other brothers Kol also has his eyes on me, waiting for me to jump into bed
with him.
They even made a bet about it. They’re using me like a human trophy. It hurt a
lot when I found out because I had begun to feel things for them but it kind of
stunted them until further notice. I don’t plan on sleeping with any of them
any time soon! Especially not while they’re keeping me captive like some kind
of animal!
And today they’ve just tipped me over the edge, I’ve had enough, I won’t let
them hurt or manipulate me anymore…
