True Love?

Chapter Three (_MAS Edited)

Some guy walked into the house, I have never seen him before, but obviously Klaus has. He looked at the brunette boy and said; "hello, brother. Anything I could help you with?" I look back over at him confused, I didn't know Klaus had another sibling, except Henrik, but he died, didn't he?

Klaus must've noticed my confused expression as he decided to fill me in. "Elena love, this is my brother Kol. You remember him don't you? Well, my mother brought him back, in another body." Shit. Kol hates me, I mean, I did play a big part in his death, he even tried to kill me! I shot him what I thought would be a believable smile, apparently it wasn't.

He chuckled, "relax darling. Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you. I let all my grudges go when I came back; it's great to see you 'Lena." Is all Kol told me before he left before I could say anything.

I asked Klaus what year it was and he sighed before saying, "you've been asleep for six years Elena."

"How much do you really know Klaus, I mean clearly you know I was asleep, but what do you know about the whole deal with my friends not remembering me. How can I get them to remember me?" A ranted, pacing as I avoided eye contact.

He approached me and stopped me from pacing by grabbing my hands. "Love slow down. I'll try to help you fix everything. But all I know is that her name is Cleo and I didn't know know about her until a couple weeks ago." He told me, looking me in the eye. I could see the sincerity in them and I almost gasped. He really wants to help me?

"Thank you, for your help Klaus. I just really want my friends to remember me. I don't even know if Jeremy knows who I am." I ranted again, but he didn't say anything he just motioned for me to follow him, and so I did. I gazed at the paintings in the hallway as I went, did he steal them? No..looking closer I notice at the bottom it's signed by Klaus. Did he really paint these? They're really good. Now I remember that Klaus was an artist, but I didn't realize he was this good.

Finally we stopped at a door, Klaus opened it and stepped inside, I did the same. "Until we get everything sorted out with your friends, you'll be staying here where I can protect you."

Again, my breath was taken away. He's actually offering to protect me and letting me stay here. Wow.."That's kind of you Klaus really, you don't have to protect me. And I definitely don't have to stay here, I don't want to he a burden Klaus, I can go."

He chuckled slightly before responding, "well of course I don't have to protect you love, but I'm going to. Now, get dressed we have a family meeting to attend to." With that he left and closed the door, leaving me with my thoughts. Why was he being so nice to me? Could he of really changed?

I decided on taking a shower real quick because I've been 'asleep' for 6 years and I feel gross. After the shower, I get out and wrap a white fluffy towl around my body as I do my makeup and hair. I add a little eyeliner and eyeshadow. I blow dry my hair and leave it down in soft waves. Looking through the closet, I find a beautiful blue dress and slid it on, finishing the outfit with a pair of black flats.

One more look in the mirror and I walk down the stairs. I end up in the kitchen, where all the other Mikaelson boys were. Shooting Kol and Elijah a gentle smile, I take a seat next to Klaus. He smiles at me, which I return politely.

Finally, Rebekah walks in with a little girl Wait...why does Rebekah have a little girl with her!? She notices me and sends me a dirty look "why the bloody hell is that doppelgänger here?" She asked, sounding annoyed. Handing Klaus the baby, she starts walking towards me, only to he stopped by Kol.

"Calm down Bekah. Nik is letting her stay here." Kol explained, calmly. She gave me another dirty look, then looked at Klaus. He gave her a look which got get to sit down.

"Back to family business then, shall we?" Klaus asked, giving his sister a pointed look telling her to shut up.

"If this is family business maybe I should leave. I-I mean I could leave the room.." I stuttered but no one seemed to be listening to me. Wow..thanks guys.

"As most of you know, Elena Gilbert will be staying with us, and if anybody touches her I will personally kill them." Klaus says nonchalantly hit had a threatening tone in his voice. "Now Elena, this is my daughter, Hope. Her mother is Hayley, I believe you know her?" Klaus proceeded to say, as if he hadn't just threatened his siblings.

"Yes, I do." I informed him but changed the subject. "But is it really necessary that I'm protected, I mean what do I need protection from?" I ask no one in particular.

For the first time Elijah spoke up. "Yes Miss Gilbert, we must keep you safe, as we are not entirely certain of all that this creature is capable of. A hybrid will be collecting Alaric Saltzman and his things, so we can keep him safe also."

"Thank you for that." I smile at all of them.

Not feeling comfortable under Rebekah's glare, I ask to be excused, saying I needed to get ready for bed. The people who actually like me, nodded there head.

As I was walking down the hall to my room, someone grabbed my throat and pushed me into the wall. "Rebekah what are you doing?" I choked out.

She had her fangs out as she growled, "you little bitch, stay away from-" but that was all she could say before there was banging and yelling coming from downstairs. We exchange looks as she let's go of my throat. Maybe it's a good thing I'm a vampire. We both run down the stairs.

We see a fiery red head girl fighting with the rest of the originals. She seemed to just notice me as she said, "dearest Elena, it's so good to finally meet you."

Who the hell is this girl? I ask myself.
