The Michealson Twin

Grabbing Food

We all sat in the study everyone talking except me. I was still shocked with the news, I had no clue of what I was going to do or how I was going to handle this situation. My brain was flying through all these thoughts, twisting and turning every which way before I snapped out of it because of the gentle hand on my shoulder. When I looked over my shoulder I saw Dereks face kind and concerned, I gave him a small reassuring smile to which he gladly returned. I laid my head on his hand and closed my eyes taking in deep breaths to keep myself clam and collected.

Most of the day had gone by and it was already four in the afternoon. No one had said a word but I was beginning to get hungry, I don't like to go long times without food and its been awhile sense I've had any food. I looked around then looked up to Derek again, "Je commence à avoir faim, ça te dérange de venir avec moi pour prendre à manger?" *Im getting hungry, do you mind coming with me to grab some food?* I said in French so only he would understand.

"Si ça te fait te sentir mieux ouais. Avez-vous besoin que je vous apporte quelque chose avant que nous partions ?" *If it will make you feel better yeah. Do you need me to get you anything before we leave?* he responded while taking his hand off my shoulder.

"Non, si ça ne te dérange pas de remonter la voiture, je vais parler à ma famille et voir s'ils veulent quelque chose." * No, if you don't mind getting the car, I'll talk to my family and see if they want anything.*

He shook his head then walked off I'm assuming to grab his keys. When he walked off I looked back to the rest of my family who was looking at me with a puzzled expression, I guess speaking in a different language bring lots of attention to yourself. I gave them a smile then got up to grab a few things before turning to look at them again.

"We're going to get some food, do you guys want anything?" I said.

"And you had to have that whole conversation with him an another language to ask him if he wanted to, I'm assuming from what I remember from French, to go with you?" Marcel said with the same tone my dad had when he was being overprotective.

"Yes, I don't want to go alone but I also need all of you to stay here in the safety of the boundary spell and wait for Damon and Elena."

"So you leave the safety of the boundary spell?" Hope said clearly agitated.

"Hope I can handle a Davidson I wiped them all out once I can do it again, and if I die I'll find my way back to you, I always do."

"And what about Derek Darling? He can't come back to life, nor does he know how to kill a Davidsons." Rebekah chimed in.

"That you'll just have to trust me on."

"And trust I do." Said a familiar voice. I turned around to see Damon holding Lexi who was sleeping in his arms. "The reason Derek is staying around with us is because he's sworn to protect everyone in our household, and well Faith is apart of our household so its Dereks duty to help protect her."

"And I'm supposed to trust the man who tried to kill my brother?!" Rebekah yelled in anger.

"Your supposed to trust the man my mother in trusted me to stay with for six months while she was trying to lead the covens of witches away from me."

"I will protect Faith and hope as if they were one of my children, my past is a dark place that I truly don't wish to repeat so I'm trying to write my future with no regrets."

Rebekah looked between me and Marcel not sure what to say. "If anything happens to my niece I will rip your throat out." She said in a low stern voice.

"If anything happens to Faith I'd do it myself."
