....It was the two red eyes glaring back at them. It was in a corner of the house, that the lights in the halls did not touch, so it was just pitch-black where it was standing. All you could see was it's eyes. Selena started to shake, she was a tough girl, she was never really scared of anything and if she was, she didn't let it show on the outside. But with this.... thing, whatever it was, was different. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes as she continued to look at it, she really didn't what to cry, but this thing made her want too. She fight it because she didn't know what it was, she couldn't shout at it to leave because harry still had his hand over her mouth, all she could do was stand there and take the daggering stares from it. Still having her pined, he said. "Shh, it's fine." He never look down to her, which Selena, for some odd reason, notice. He was doing something where he started whispering to the point where he couldn't hear him, she only caught parts of it and whatever he was saying, he was saying it in a different language. Harry finally took his eyes off of the thing when he turned to move Selena back further down the hall and out the way of the thing. When he did the thing seemed like it started to come out of the dark more, like it was scared when Harry was staring at it, but now that he wasn't, well, they were about to find out what it was going to do. Only they didn't. Selena was watching the thing come further out of the dark, then she realized that she was watching the back of a person. It was Niklaus, then out of nowhere Elijah was next to him, then there was Finn, then Rebekah, and last, Kol. Harry was standing at to them in no time. Selena didn't even know when he let go of her, he was standing next to them so fast. Klaus was the first to speak, it was so low she could barely hear him. "Fall. Back." was all he said. Then Selena heard growling and she didn't know if it was coming from the Mikaelsons or from whatever that thing was glaring at them. Then Elijah, Klaus and Finn disappeared into that dark area where that thing was. leaving the youngest of the Mikaelsons to stand guard. Selena didn't where they went, she thought that where the red eyed thing was hiding was just a small corner, but when the Mikaelsons disappeared, it was like they walked into the wall. What seemed like forever, but was really only about 4 seconds, the three oldest on the Mikaelson brothers reemerged. Selena was to speak first "I didn-" But Klaus cut her off. "Does somebody want to tell me why is she always in the hallways when something goes wrong? Harry?" he asked. "I didn't bring her here. I was on my way down when i saw whatever the hell that thing was, then i saw her." Harry told him. "You saw this thing first, then you saw her? Well, that explains alot" Rebekah said before turning to give Selena a nasty look. "What are you talking about? i didn't do any-" Selena was trying to explain, but once more she was cut off. "So "jezabelle" over here bought whatever that thi-"
"Quiet, Kol." Finn shut him up. "We need to get her out of here, now." "Okay, enough!" Elijah shouted, getting everyone's attention. He realized he was doing this a lot lately. but he had to take control of this situation, quickly. And so he did. "Rebekah, Kol, i don't believe I asked to hear your comments, therefore i should not be hearing them. Nik, you have the better nose out of all of us, see if you can track that thing. Finn, go get Bonnie and tell her we need her down here. Harry, take Selena to Caroline's room then come back. Go." was the last thing he said. And for some reason they all seem to listen to him the most, and they all move as fast as lighting doing the things he told them to do. Harry took Selena to Caroline's room moving fast through the hallways. Everyone seem to know these hallways but her, she thought oddly. She also thought of the fact that Harry was holding her hand tightly right now rushing her through the halls. She had no idea why she noticed that out of all things she could be thinking about at the moment. Because she was scared and it was nice to have someone next to her that's all, or at least that was what she was going to tell her self. She didn't want to think about that anymore, so she asked "What was that thing?"
"What thing?" harry asked her back, trying to buy sometime. "Harry!" she said as they came to Caroline's door. He barely knocked before busting in. "I'll talk to you later, i promise." He said really fast before closing the door behind him. "Ugh" she said as she sat on Caroline's bed, staring at the door he just walk out of. Caroline peeked her head out of her bathroom and seen Selena. ".....hi" was all she said. Very confused as to what was going on. - Harry hurried to race back to Elijah's room. On the outside it looked like any other large bedroom in the castle, but behind a bookcase in the corner was another large room, filled with knowledge about the real world, about things like them, about the creatures of the night. Harry walked in to joined his other siblings. "Look what the vampire dragged in." Rebekah said to Harry. He glared her in that moment, but it was nice not having to hide what they really were like they were forced to do with any outsiders. To be able to say anything they wanted without having to monitor it. "Rebekah, don't you have some man's bed to warm up or something?" Harry said to her, plopping down on the coach. "Stop it, both of you." Elijah said looking up from his papers. Harry turned to his brother."I only called for you when I was in the hallway, how did they all know to come?" He asked Niklaus. "I called them. you are the youngest out of us and you sent a distress call, did you honestly think i wasn't going to?" Klaus said to him. Nik was not one for showing his love for anyone, but when it came to Harry he had no problem doing so. That was just one of the reasons they were so close. Finn entered the room with nurse Bonnie. And the room went silent. Bonnie was the first to speak after a few moments "So, who wants to ask the first question?" she said. "Okay, i'm just going to ask what everyone is thinking. What the hell is it?" Kol asked. And she said what everyone did not want to hear at all. "it's....exactly what you all think it is." she told them. Then came the uproar. "Are you bloody kidding me?" yelled Nik.
"It needs to die, now!" Finn said.
"No, whoever bought it in needs to die." Rebekah said.
"Calm down, everyone!" Elijah yelled. "Elijah, you can't fix everything! Someone's going to die and I would prefer it if i killed it and not have it kill me." Nik said. Elijah took a deep breath and said. "No. What we are going to do is go downstairs and have our dinner party." Confusion went through the room. "What?" Rebekah asked. "We have guest coming tonight, and we have two women upstairs who thinks we just bought them to a mad house. And we have mother and father coming later this week. We are going to have this party because i can't deal with, let alone fix, all of these problems tonight. We will deal with them one at a time. We will entertain our guest tonight, and we find what's trying to kill us tomorrow." Elijah said. "So you mean it's going to be like any other day in our life? Play pretend nice and then resume being the actual murderers that we are tomorrow. " Harry asked. ".....Exactly." He answered. They all understood each other. This was how it went, this was how they lived, this was how they always lived. They all exited the room together. They told Jenna to bring all the girls down as their guest were just arriving. They all lined up in the living room as Jenna went to open the door for them. All the girls were brought down from their rooms as well. Selena stood by Harry to ask him "Are you going to tell me now?"
"i promised you i would, but i don't think right now is the best time, love." as jenna was bringing in the guest, Harry put his hand on the small on her back and whispered "Just smile for now." and she did. -
