Forbidden (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story) #1 in the Forbidden series

Chapter 1

I stood inside my brothers boarding house and grinned, it had been about fifteen years since I'd last saw both my brothers, I hadn't talked to them either, sure they knew I was alive and I knew they were as thanks to Samantha and her skills back in the 20s. Sighing I sat down on one of the couches that were in the parlour and put my booted feet up onto the coffee table.

There was a whoosh of air behind me and suddenly I was pinned on my back by my older brother Damon, who was hovering over me with an angry look on his face, "hey brother" I said with a smirk and a wink, Damon swiftly got off of me, pulled me to my feet and into a bone-crushing hug.

"Alex," He said with a smile before holding me at arm's length as if I had changed in the past decade and a half, which was kinda hard to do when you don't age, "how've you been?" He brushed my short-cropped dyed blonde hair back and smirked his signature smirk that made both men and women contemplate sleeping with him.

"Fine, I heard you've gotten yourself into some trouble," I said, I was guessing but it was Damon he loved trouble as much as he loved torturing Stefan, I dragged his hand off of my hair, he was irritating me by ruffling it.

"Why do you sound surprised?" He leaned forward and smiled "wasn't it you that said I had a target on my back that trouble loved to attach itself to?" He walked over to the table that stood right behind the sofa that I had been sitting on and poured out two drinks from the decanter that was there holding what looked like bourbon.

"I may have said that at one point" I smiled back as a set of footsteps marched down the stairs and into the room where I was conversing with Damon, "hello Stefan" I turned to greet my younger brother but instead of coming face to face with the sweetheart of the Salvatore siblings my eyes collided with the face of a young woman, that face belonged to someone who I would happily kill without remorse "Katherine" I growled out tensing my muscles, I lunged forward only to be stopped by Damon

"Little sister, this is Elena, Stefan's girlfriend. Elena meet Alexandra" Damon said quietly, his grip on my waist tightening as my eyes skimmed up and down the frighten human girls form, her boring brown hair was slightly ruffled but pin-straight and her clothes were so out of fashion it wasn't funny.

"Sister?" She squeaked out as my stare intensified "Stefan, never told me you guys had a sister" she glanced at my brother uneasily when I didn't blink.

"What are you?" I muttered as I stepped towards the strange girl who looked exactly like the women who ruined my life and took away my humanity, I tilted my head to the side as she freaked out and took a step back.

"Human," she said flinching when I leaned close to catch the smell of her blood pulsing underneath the skin of her neck.

"Why does she look like Katherine?" I turned to Damon who shrugged and gulped down his drink.

"No clue," Stefan said as he walked more into the room with a smile on his face, "all we know is that she looks like Katherine, but isn't" he pulled me into a hug "it's good to see you, Alex"

"Good to see you too, Steffy," I grinned back before turning to Elena "it's a pleasure to meet you, Elena" I shook her hand and smiled at her kindly, just like I'd been taught back in the days when I was human, I didn't like how both my brothers were looking at her which meant history was repeating itself, they'd both had a thing for Katherine when we were human and it had gotten them both killed.

"It's nice to meet you too" she smiled back and turned to Stefan "we should get going to school" she waved at Damon and I before walking out the door with Stefan in tow.

"Really?" I mumbled "school?" I looked at Damon with a raised eyebrow "also you've got to be kidding me about Elena, right?" I looked him in the eye and sighed when he looked down "Stefan I understand about being as infatuated as he was with her but you?" I shook my head, disappointed in his decision to even be around someone who remotely looked like the woman who destroyed him "I need a drink, any good bars around here?" I said before I downed my drink in one gulp.

"None that are open at 8 in the morning" he replied as he grabbed my glass and his to pour us more alcohol, we feel into a comfortable silence, this is what Damon and I did while we were alone, we drink and enjoy each other's company but today wasn't one of those days, I needed to know what the trouble was so I could help.

"So what's going on in town?" I asked my eyebrow raised when Damon's shoulders tensed slightly.

"You've missed a lot sister" he handed me my drink and sat down across from me, "let's start with the fact that Elena is Isobel's daughter" he watched for my reaction to his news, a friend of mine who had asked to be turned a few years ago, Isobel, I didn't want to do that so I sent her to Damon who happily did it after he slept with the woman, Isobel had gone to a college near where I was hiding from Klaus, I knew she'd had a kid but I didn't know if that child had survived the birth.

"Well then" I muttered sitting back in the chair with a blank expression on my face, I'd learnt to hide my reactions when I was just turned by Elijah "so how is that trouble?"

"Well considering her bio dad dropped into town with a Gilbert family invention that incapacitated me and the asshole almost killed me" I frowned as he spoke, I remembered the inventions that Johnathan Gilbert made I also remembered that Katherine's maid Emily Bennet spelled them to work "he also ended up killing mayor, Lockwood"

"So the mayor was a vamp," I said with a shrug, the invention only works on vampires, I saw the vampire compass work myself when it pointed directly at Katherine when my father's men were dragging her out of our house, Johnathan Gilbert was with me telling me to hide when the townsmen came down the stairs with a groggy Katherine.

"He was something else because the vervain didn't work on him but the invention did," Damon said, with a weird smile on his face "now the guy's kid brother is in town and he exhibited a temper that rivals yours on a bad day and he beat Stefan in an arm-wrestling competition and when I compelled a human to start a fight with him, his eyes changed colour, according to Stefan" Damon shrugged as my mind worked overtime figuring out what this person might be, but the amount of supernatural things I've encountered was a long list.
