for the love of you

four

Soon, each of the siblings had made their way to the kitchen. [Your name] stayed in her spot by the sink, her hand still gripping at her now warm glass of water.

Klaus looked over at Elijah, a confused expression enveloping his handsome features. "What's going on?" he asked, taking a seat at the island, close beside Rebekah. There were only two stools at the island—this led to Elijah standing across from [Your name], leaning against the countertop closest to the stove, and Kol standing at the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest.

"It seems as though [Your name] had a vision."

Klaus turned to her, expectant to hear her vision.

She refreshed Kol and Elijah on her vision, while giving the other two siblings new information. But it was still as terrifying as it had been when she first relayed her vision. Kol dying, people she had yet to meet being in her dream. There were so many things that struck [Your name] as odd, but she still couldn't get over the fact that she had been bitten—by what, she had yet to figure out.

Klaus frowned deeply. He looked towards his brother. "I would have suggested bringing Bonnie in to figure out what brought her here, but it sounds to me like we should be avoiding each of them for the time being."

"Agreed," Kol spoke up from the doorway, rolling his eyes. He was not about to be killed because the Salvatore's wanted it to happen. Their little human pet would not be the reason he died.

Elijah looked back over at [Your name], frowning. "I suppose we should tell you a couple more things. I didn't want to overwhelm you on your first night staying here, but a vision is sign enough that you need to know." He took a hold of her hand and led her over to stand in front of Rebekah and Klaus at the counter. She sat her cup down, nervously looking at each of the siblings.

"We are vampires," Rebekah softly spoke, reaching out across the counter to take [Your name]'s hand.

Her eyes widened, but she didn't make any noise. It made sense—if she truly had been bitten in her vision, then that would explain it. She gave a small nod, squeezing Rebekah's hand.

"Okay."

Kol blinked slowly at the girl, pushing himself off the doorframe. "Okay? That's all you have to say?"

[Your name] blinked back at him in the same manner, nodding. "There's nothing more to say. I... I'm not afraid of any of you. I feel like I should be," she couldn't help a small smile from forming on her lips. "But I am not afraid."

"You've no reason to be afraid," Rebekah softly said, smiling in response. "I do believe Kol is trying to tease, but he's rather bad at it, isn't he?"

[Your name] grinned, looking back over at Kol. If he had the ability to blush, he was sure that he would have. Kol just rolled his eyes and came over to the counter, leaning against it. He looked at Elijah and cleared his throat with an awkward cough.

"Well? What will we do about it?"

"I will reach out to a couple of witches," Elijah said. "But until I am able to get a hold of any of them, we will all do our parts in keeping each other safe. Kol, I advise that you stay near one of us if you go out. If anything, try to stay home."

Kol rolled his eyes once more. "Whatever."

"And [Your name]," Elijah said, turning to face the woman. "I am sure that we will have to get you well-acquainted with Mystic Falls, despite your visions. We will not keep you cooped up—you are in no way our prisoner."

[Your name] watched her soulmates, giving a knowing nod. She had a feeling that they each knew what to do, even if she felt like she was drowning in endless bouts of information. But soon enough, things would make sense. It had to.
