Raven Cromwell ~ The Vampire/Witch Hybrid ~ A Vampire Diaries Fanfiction

Chapter 9 ~ Let's discuss history

Suddenly, she dropped the stake, and it clattered to the floor.

"NO" she roared.

Klaus and Elijah stood backwards, astonished.

Raven had just resisted compulsion.

Klaus marched towards her, staring her dead in the eyes "STAB YOURSELF" he yelled in rage.

She looked up, gritting her teeth "No"

Elijah vamped beside her, moving Klaus out the way.

"Sit down" He compelled.

Her pupils enlarged and dilated as if it was working but instead she folded her arms.

"I guess your compulsion doesn't work on me" she shrugged smugly.

"You don't understand...what is your name?" Elijah inquired.

"Raven"

"No one can resist our compulsion" he continued, shaking his head.

"That's not true. Stefan did, for true love but something tells me you're not in love" Klaus mocks.

Raven stays silent. She didn't know how she was doing it either.

"Only witches, vampire hunters and werewolves can resist compulsion. You don't strike me as a hunter, you can't be both vampire and witch and I don't see you on all fours howling at the moon so-" he begins to chuckle "What the bloody hell are you?"

"Have you ingested vervain?" Elijah intervenes.

Raven shakes her head "No it's toxic right?"

"Truth be told, it's nasty but it can still be consumed, even as a vampire" Klaus admits.

There is silence for a moment as everyone stares at one another.

"KLAUS?" Damon yells, barging through the front door before appearing in front of them all.

"What's going on?" he looks around confused "I expected torture, possibly a dead girl...and although I am very relieved I was wrong, I didn't expect to walk in and find everyone playing Red light, Green light"

"Damon!" Klaus smiles throwing his arm around him "Any idea why our friend here can resist compulsion?"

"huh?" Damon frowns "I mean she resisted when she was a human but she drank vervain"

"I- I didn't" she confessed "You were so angry with me that I let you believe that I drank vervain in my coffee but the truth is, I hate coffee. And I only wore that stupid itchy bracelet Matt gave me for like an hour" she rambled.

"Woah careful love, don't speak ill of the dead" Klaus smirks.

"What is your last name Raven?" Elijah asked taking her hand.

"Cromwell?" she said confused. Why did he want to know that?

Elijah looked back at Klaus who looked as if everything had just became clear.

"What?" Raven and Damon said feeling left out and still confused.

"Ahem" Elijah cleared his throat "The Cromwell lineage dates back centuries where myself and Niklaus met a woman by the name of Claudia Cromwell" he glanced over to his brother.

"Who happened to be a Witch" Klaus said, leaning down to pick up the wooden stake.

"And a very powerful one at that" Elijah added.

"Right so let me get this straight, Oliver Cromwell could've been a witch then?" Damon laughed.

"Not all Cromwell's will be witches. Sometimes it skips a generation but considering our friend here can resist compulsion, I'd say it's a good chance it didn't skip her" Klaus said waving the stake at Raven.
