Boundless ✔(A Mikaelson Soulmate Story)

Chapter VIII: Stay

"Us?" Elijah questioned. I met his warm eyes, unable to keep the smile from stretching across my lips. His eyes trailed to my red lips, making a smile stretch onto his face as well. I blinked out of my daze and nodded.

"Uh- yeah, To kill me, you have to kill my mates. It's a rather nice perk to being an Elf. We are very resilient." I laugh. Rebekah laughs with me.

"Clearly. So tell me again why you are leaving? You just found my brothers and now you plan to just leave them?" She questioned.

"Esther- She kept tabs on my brother from the other side. She claims he had kids. I have a bloodline." I breath out a smile at the thought of someone related to me. "I-" I swallowed hard, keeping my eyes on Rebekah instead of my mates who were all staring at me sternly. "I need to find them. I need to find out what happened after I-I died."

"We can help you find them, love." Klaus stepped forward, his eyes looked scared. Scared to lose the one thing that would undoubtedly love him. I was starting to feel selfish. Kol moved quickly to stand beside me.

"Let us help you, please." He pleaded, leaning close to me, his nose running along my cheek as he inhaled. I let a shaky breath out from how close and intimate he was being.

"Fi-fine. I'll stay." I stammered out. I could feel the smirk spreading onto Kol's face as he leaned closer and pressed his lips to my cheek.

"Now that we have that figured out, let's talk about dates." Klaus said, clapping his hands together and grinning.

"Dates?!" I exclaimed. I never agreed to this. Rebekah rolled her eyes at her brothers.

"I'll go get the guests out, while you deal with this. It was nice to meet you, Hil" She told me. I smiled at the nickname, enjoying it.

"So, love." Klaus smirked, zooming over to stand in front of me. "Who gets to take you on a date first?" He questioned. I glanced from him to the others, Elijah rolling his eyes at his brother while adjusting his cuffs. Kol still stood next to me, but not as close as he was before, waiting for my answer. The oldest brother stayed where he was, now facing me and staring at me sternly.

"I suppose I have no say in this, do I?" I questioned with a roll of my eyes and a smile.

"Sorry, Astin, my brothers can be a bit persistent." Elijah warned. I smiled at him and nodded.

"Fine. Then I pick you." I announced, pointing to the oldest brother that I still don't know the name of. Kol gasped dramatically next to me.

"Finn?! Really?? He was going to kill us all!!" Kol blurted out. I looked over to him as Elijah vamped over to him and smacked his head.

"My choice is final. Now if you'll excuse me. I'm going to go pester Rebekah to go shopping with me. I have no clothes." I told them with a sweet smile. Elijah and Klaus both held up a card to me, which I just looked at them oddly.

"They are credit cards, love. To pay for whatever you want." Klaus explained.

"I'm a vampire. Can't I just compel them?" I asked, even more confused by the odd plastic money they wanted me to take. Elijah let out a chuckle.

"I suppose you could, but this is easier. Just have Rebekah show you how it works." He told me. I nodded, accepting the plastic cards from both of them, before leaving the men to discuss whatever they were to talk about. Turns out Rebekah had over heard my decision and agreed to shop with me.

At the mall-

"Why is there so many holes? Is it damaged?" I asked, holding up what Rebekah said was jeans. I heard her laugh at my words.

"It's the new style. You really were asleep for a thousand years?" She asked as she picked up a few things for me. It looked a lot like nightwear, but she claimed it was for outings. When did people start wearing silks to go out?

"Uh- Yeah, I was in my family crypt." I told her, picking up what she called a cardigan. It was so soft.

"Your family crypt? Did you see your brothers tomb there?" She asked, her sight snapping to me and away from the skirt she had in her hands. I looked at her, confused and then realization.

"Shit- Why didn't I think-"

"I mean you did just wake up from a very long nap in a cement box. At least Nik had the curtesy to put us into comfy coffins." She remarked. I looked at her even more confused.

"Coffins?"

"Oh, yeah. Before mother was raised, Nik had trust issues. He would use this special dagger dipped into the ashes of the white oak tree to make us go to sleep. Keep us near him so we couldn't ever leave him." I stared at her in disbelief.

"Are you serious?" She nodded with a hum.

"What an ass." I mumbled making her laugh.

"Yes, but he is yours!" She taunted. I rolled my eyes laughing with her.

We bought so much clothing. Well, Rebekah bought most of it. She wouldn't let me just get a few things, saying something about how I would need more than just a few tops and pants. We left with a ton of skirts, blouses, dresses and pants. Even grabbing some new shoes, which I found interesting. I mean, I had worn heels to the ball, but they weren't as extravagant as the ones Rebekah had picked. Very basic.

The men were extremely happy when we came home, helping me with my bags as soon as I walked into the foyer. Now to get ready for my first date.
