The Original Family

3

It's been a couple days since Bill's tribunal and as expected the newborn vampire, Jessica, was annoying. Alexander was glad that he was not with Eric and Pam when Bill drop Jessica off to Fangtasia when Bill needed to go somewhere. Alexander decided that it's his time to leave for a while since he knows that Eric will look out for Sookie and before he snaps and kill the newborn for irritating him. Alexander flashed back to his hotel room and started packing. A ring from his phone had made him stop mid-packing and it was an unknown caller. " Whoever this is, you better have a good reas- " Alexander was cut of mid-rant of a voice he hasn't heard in centuries. " Hello Alexander... Still ruthless as ever. " the man said with a chuckle. " Only those who deserve it. Anyway, how are you able to get my number?" Alexander asked " Who do you think? " the man asked then Alexander's mind click and exactly knew who it was, Elizabeth... "How did you convince Elizabeth? She is not a type to forgive easily, you and I know that, Caden" Alexander said sternly to which Caden chuckle because he knows that Alexander is worst. " I called because I want to be reunited with my family again. Centuries without hearing, seeing and talking with you and our sister was a mistake" Alexander could hear the sincerity in his brother's voice. " And I ran into someone from the other side of our family"  Which made Alexander curios. He hasn't made contact with his other side of their family since they agreed to separate for a ridiculous reason. "Who?" Alexander finally asked. "Elijah..." Caden answered then Alexander asked his brother "Where are the others?" "Killed... Stored in coffins and dropped in the middle of the ocean by Nik"  Which shocked Alexander. They can't be killed, temporarily yes but they always come back he thought. To be done by Nik, he wasn't surprised. The bastard was a vindictive and paranoid of being betrayed. Nik never liked Alexander and vice versa. He hated Alexander due to being better at him when it comes to fighting and what made it worse that Alexander's built is smaller compared to Nik. " Is Elijah with you? Where are you?" Alexander asked quickly. Caden then say "No, he left a couple days ago due to call in regards of a vampire that he was searching. At your home, your care taker is quite a fighter luckily he stopped when I told him who I was or I could've killed the poor man. I'm surprised when I found out he was a shifter. Hard fighting someone who could change forms in a forest full of animals." Caden chuckled after he said that which made Alexander laugh. He was glad that his care taker was able to handle his brother. "I still don't forgive you for leaving us but I'll give you a chance but if you decided to separate again, I will forget that you are my brother..." Alexander said in a cold tone voice, which Caden knows that his brother will most likely do. He knows that his brother has only truly cared for their family. Alexander heard Caden sighed but agreed to what he said.

Alexander decided to take a plane back to Dallas so he'll be home quicker. He called his care taker to come to the hotel he was staying to pick up his car and drive it to his home. Before he took off, he sent a quick text to Eric to watch Sookie and remind him to try and trick her to taking his blood. After the uncomfortable flight back home, he wasn't sure how he would react when he see's his brother. Even he was a bit calm when they talked on the phone, it would be different when he will see him in person. Upon arriving to his home, he spots two unfamiliar cars that are parked in front. He assumes one must be his brother's but doesn't know who owns the other one.  Who over the unknown guest was, he better not annoy him or he'll just end their life on the spot. Alexander grab his duffel bag walk straight into his home and he could hear voices, most like coming from his parlour. Once he saw who it was, he had a smile on his face to see one of his favourite cousins, Elijah. "Cousin... So nice to see you again." Alexander said and gave Elijah a hug. " No hug for me? " Caden said with a smirk which Alexander just ignored and release Elijah from the hug then walk straight to his brother. He block his mind so his brother won't know what would happen next, which he tried reading his mind but it seems there was a wall protecting his, he punch Caden on the jaw and went flying back and hitting the wall due to the strength of the punch that Alexander gave him. Caden, with a bleeding mouth and dislocated jaw, poped his jaw back in place and wiped the blood from his face "I guess I deserve that." Caden said while fixing himself. Alexander walk straight to Caden, who was getting ready if Alexander might hit him again but was surprised when he was pulled into a hug instead and whispered " I missed you too, brother.. " which surprised Caden but hugged his brother back. Alexander let go and faced Elijah "I'm glad your here Elijah but ever since Caden told me what happened to your siblings, there is a question that has been on my mind since. How was Niklaus able to kill them? I thought we had burned down the last White Oak tree down?" Alexander asked then Elijah sighed but told the story of the five hunters that they encountered in the 11th century. How they had mystical daggers that were made of silver. Elijah then told the brothers on how the dagger worked. He told them that they could be killed if the digger was dipped in ash of the white oak tree and to be remained impaled in there hearts for them to remain dead. If the dagger was pulled out, the effect of it on them will cease and they will be brought back to life. He told them how they were daggered by Niklaus throughout the time but Finn was the unlucky one who remained daggered ever since and Niklaus is the only one who is not affected by the mystical dagger due to his mix heritage, a hybrid. After Elijah explained to the brothers, Alexander started think that if he does show himself.... Will Nik dagger them too, will the dagger work on him and his siblings? Caden notice his brother in deep thought and could read his mind 'if Nik will dagger them like he did with his siblings'. The only thing he knows for sure is that Nik will be able to use two daggers on either him or his siblings. "So... without the ash of the white oak tree, the dagger is rendered useless and it will just be an ordinary dagger? Then I'd better make sure to dispose of the ash. Don't want me or either of my siblings killed, specially you too cousin. I know you'll be happy with it gone." Alexander smirked and Elijah nodded then say "It does. Specially now that I know that a human doppelgänger exist and you would be surprised where that said doppelgänger lives." Alexander and his siblings are aware on what happened with the previous doppelgänger. How she escaped Nik before he could break the curse and became a vampire thus made her blood useless for the curse to be broken. Alexander was intrigued with the girl and wanted to meet the girl who escaped his cousin but didn't due to the fact that Nik was hunting her down and didn't want to see him. "Where?" Alexander was about to ask but Caden read his mind and beat him to it which he gave his brother a glare. "Mystic Falls" Of all the places, Alexander thought that it was ironic due to the fact that town was the birth of their cursed life. "How is the doppelgänger fit into this? Just a fact that Nik could finally break his curse." That had Alexander curious unless Elijah has something up his sleeves. "I will use the doppelgänger and spread a little rumour that one exist and that information could reach Niklaus, which it will. He will complete the ceremony but after it's done, he will be vulnerable and I will kill him myself for what he has done to our family." The brothers were surprised to what Elijah said but they agree because they know that Nik will come for them. "When will we meet Tatia's doppelgänger?" Alexander knows that Elijah will ask him and his siblings for his help specially for his plan to succeed. They are his family and they help together and they are as strong as Nik, if not stronger. "When your sister arrives. Your the only family I have left and I know that you'll help me succeed." The brothers smiled on what Elijah said because they value their family for they are the only one you truly trust. Friends will betray each other for their family. Alexander and his siblings where disappointed because the only reason they separated with their cousins because their uncle was hunting Nik for he learned that he was not his son but a offspring of a creature that killed his youngest child. Due to his cousins promise to be together forever and always, which Alexander and his siblings were not included due to the fact that they adore their uncle and he reminds them of their father In more ways than one.

The three vampires heard a car arriving and stopping. The front door open and footsteps were heard. No one moved because they know who it was. Alexander smirked "Late as always. When will you be in time, Elizabeth."
