A New Beginning | Emma Petrova (TVD & TO) [BOOK 2]

let it go

I down my drink, watching Freya pace around the study while Elijah is standing beside me, watching her as well. Suddenly she turns and gives him an incredulous look. "You daggered Rebekah? And you're just telling us now?!"

"She sacrificed herself in order to protect us." He walks closer to Freya in a way to try and stop her from pacing. "And, to protect her, I've told Niklaus, and I'm telling you two. No one would have known Rebekah's whereabouts if Aurora had taken my life."

Freya sighs, frustratingly. "The prophecy says you three will be felled by friend, family, and foe. Rebekah was fallen by family. That leaves friend and foe. You and Klaus have a lot of foes." She points out before adverting her attention to me. "What about you Emma?"

"Just one, two or a couple hundred." I shrug, sarcastically.

"Thankfully, you all, have not many friends." She mumbles and I give her a feigning hurt look, even though it's not the right scenario right now.

Just as she says that Nik comes in, announcing a friend I never thought would see for quite some time, which makes me jump from my place on the couch to face the two of them with a grin plastered on my face.

"Freya, this is Stefan Salvatore, an old friend." Nik announces. I look back at Elijah, who hilariously rolls his eyes at the sight of Stefan, and Freya gives Nik a hard look. If only I could telepatically tell her that Stefan is not dangerous. "One of my trickle-down sirelings. Long story." Nik turns to Stefan. "Stefan, this is Freya, my brand-new older sister. Also a long story."

Stefan nods and smiles weakly in acknowledgement, at the same time Nik turns back to Freya to address her as he pats Stefan affectionately on the back. Soon his eyes land on me and he gives me a big smile and I return it.

"Stefan needs a favor." Nik announces and I narrow my eyes at the both of them.

I look behind me as I hear footsteps approaching my side and soon I see Freya looking at Stefan suspiciously. "You're an old "friend," are you?"

I roll my eyes slightly at the awkwardness that just unfolded in front of me. "That kind of depends on your definition." Stefan answers nervously.

I laugh slightly, before speaking for the first time in forever. "Stefan, welcome to our humble compound." I joke before turning to Freya. "Don't worry Freya, he's a 'friend' friend!" I reassure her, making her drop her suspicious look.

Stefan smiles nervously, while Elijah excuses himself as Nik and Freya stand beside me. I walk over to him and all of the sudden hug him, really tightly. He looks suprised for a second but is quick to hug me back.

After a few moments we pull away from each other, before I slap him in the back of his head. "What the hell happend now? I told you to call me if anything, ANYTHING!!!" I scowl him, crossing my arms over my chest.

He opens his mouth to speak but unexpectedly he grabs my hand, inspecting my gigantic rock, adverting his eyes between me and the ring a couple of times with a confused look on his face.

"I see you didn't tell us some stuff." He points out and I take my hand away from him, holding it up in defense.

"I told Care. She should've told you guys. So... what happend?"

So...

...A mystical vampire huntress stabbed Stefan with her magic sword. Nik killed her but she just comes back to life everytime. He also told me that Mystic Falls was taken over by his mom and her fake family. And that it is now vampire free. And the same day he was stabbed Care's babies were born (which was a weeks ago).
