Scarlet Line (Vampire Diaries Fanfic)

Chapter Eight

I could hear Elijah's and Klaus' bickering in the hallway, I wouldn't allow myself to cry. Not in front of Hayley or Katherine.

"If it makes you feel any better, he wanted to kill me and the baby a few weeks ago.." Hayley said to me calmly, I laughed softly trying to show that I wasn't too upset.

"So what's with that? You and Klaus.." I found it awkward saying Klaus. I was so used to calling him Niklaus or Nik.
Or just calling him my father... But I didn't want to consider the person I met my father.

"One night stand gone wrong..." She chuckled and I nodded slowly. How she was so calm I'm not to sure. "It's weird, the thought of Klaus having another daughter..."

I chuckled softly, it must have been. She's carrying his child and I kind of just showed up at their doorstep.

"So why am I here again?" Katherine butted her way into out conversation. I glared at her slightly, she was really annoying.

"You're here for so many reasons, Katerina." A slightly familiar voice spoke up. I looked at the doorway and Klaus stood leaned up against the door frame.

"Care to share?" Katherine raised an eyebrow at him.

"Not for a while love, but," he turned his attention to me. "You, have some use to me." His voice clearly stated he looked at me as a tool and nothing else.
"Follow me, Scarlette line."

I nearly laughed at the name he called me, but I couldn't find my vocal cords. I simply stood from the couch and walked behind Klaus as he led me down the hallway and up the stairs. "You see Scarlette." His sudden voice nearly made me jump. "I'm trying to take back New Orleans, you see, decades ago my family and I built this town... Every road you step on while you walk, every tree planted." His voice was raspy and intense. He didn't look at me when he spoke and he led me into a tiny room. The carpet was white and there was a queen sized bed in the middle of the room with the head pushed against the wall. There was a large balcony with all glass doors and a dark wood dresser that stuck out from the white walls.

"Someone I raised as a son took my spot.."

"You're spot as what?" I asked him and sat down on the bed as he made his way over to the doors of the balcony. He doesn't bother looking at me but I could see his jaw set.

"King."

"Oh, well that's intense." I chuckled, he obviously doesn't have a very big sense of humor.

"I fled because someone was after me and when I returned, he was their leader. But I'm ready to take it back Scarlette.." He turned on his heel and looked at me. "He has a weapon, a witch. Divina to be exact; you see but now I have something stronger.."

I raised another eyebrow at him as my heart began to pound, "wait. Take a step back, who is this guy you raised as a son."

"Oh well he's Marcellus, names him myself. He goes by Marcel." Klaus said to me, I nearly jumped at the name.

"Marcel? He's the ruler?" I asked slowly standing from the bed. I tried not to show that I knew of this Marcel, because it's true. I did.

"Yes, but he's powerful Scarlette. Don't underestimate him in anyway."

So now he's acting as if he was my father? "You're not my father." I hissed at him unexpectedly. "We share the same blood, that's it.

He let out an amused chuckle, "oh I know darling. I look at you as nothing but a scarlet line from my family tree, a lost cause." He snapped back at me, before starting towards the door. "This will be your room." He said just as he walked out.

Since when was I even staying?!

Damon's POV*

"Okay, Scarlette hung out with Rebekah the other day.." I brain stormed out loud.

"You're over reacting, Damon. She's a kid, she looks as if she's barely 17... Let her live." Alaric's words nearly made me snap at him. I wanted to but I was too focused on finding Scarlette to care about what he said.

"Look, I know Katherine Pierce. She's a bitch and she never has friends. She is up to something! I can feel it Ric!" My voice transferred into a yell but I wasn't able to stop myself. "I'm going to the Mikaelson's and I am finding Rebekah and asking her if she's seen Scar, you can come if you please." I said as I stood up and walked to the door grabbing my coat off the hook just as I walked out. I heard footsteps behind me and I knew Alaric was coming with me.


I climbed into my car and started it as Alaric climbed into the passenger side, I slammed my door shut and pulled out of the driveway. "If Elena finds out that you're so damn worried about Scarlette, she'll hate you."

"This is why I'm glad my baby bro isn't staying at the house anymore." I sighed softly staring at the road.

"Who says I won't tell?" Alaric challenged. I glared at him and set my jaw then turned my attention back to the road.

"I'm aloud to worry about people other then Elena too you know." I snapped and sighed, Elena is do freaking stubborn.

"Yeah I know, but you don't. So that's slightly a sign, Damon." Alaric's voice was getting harsher by his every word.

"A sign of what?!"

"That you love her!"

I glared at him, "I do not love Scarlette."

"What ever helps you sleep at night."

I wanted to crash the car into a tree, but I couldn't bring myself to it. In a few minutes we arrived at the Mikaelson's. Alaric and I both climbed out of the car at the same time, and made our way to the door. It seemed surprisingly empty for some strange reason. I knocked on the door and waited.

Scarlette's POV**

I sighed and made my way down the hallway towards the staircase.

"So you're not going to tell her!?" A girls voice hissed, it wasn't Hayley nor Katherine.

"No!"

Klaus.

"Then how do you know if this will even work?!" The girl's voice turned into a yell.

"Because! She has Petrova blood! And she is my daughter! She obviously has the wolf jean! Look her mom, she was a witch. But she was a Petrova.. Elijah told me he was looking through our mothers witch cook books and there is a spell for immortality! We just need a witch to preform it."

"I can't preform magic in this town, Klaus. You know this!" So she's a witch, by this time my breath is barely a peep and I was sitting on the first stair of the staircase.

"But I know someone who is strong enough!" Klaus was pleading.

"Who?!"

"A Bennett witch."

I heard the girl chuckle, "even a Bennett witch cannot preform a spell this big. To trigger this spell you have to trigger dark magic."

"How do you know she hasn't?"

And that's all I could hear before their conversation was cut off from Elijah.

So I was the secret weapon... Huh.
