Little Red Riding Hood

Realization

Previously

Fuck.

Now

Before anyone could say anything my phone rang. I answered it without looking at who it was I answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello Little red, what did you do to me?"

"Oh that Wolfie. I froze you in time for a few minutes I would have thought you to call almost directly called after it wore off. I guess I was wrong."

"It did just wear off little red."

"Well that lasted longer then expected my wolf."

"Yes I would take it did my red. Now explain how you can do that."

"I'd rather not it makes it more fun and no one else knows how I can do it. You know unless you can bring the dead back to life my wolf."

Caroline let out a frustrated sigh and exclaimed, "Stop flirting it's gross he's like 1000 years older than us."

I could feel him smirk at her, "You didn't mind my flirting when it was directed towards you, Love."

"Wow Care, you let the monster of all monsters flirt with you and here I thought you were the good girl of the sheriff." I joked.

She let out another frustrated sigh.

"So angel, tell me how you can freeze time."

I pretended to think for a minute before saying, "Nope sorry wolfie not happening. Now I have to go." And with that I hung up before he could say anything else.

We pulled up to the Salvatore Boarding House and all got out then went inside.

"DAMON YOU HAVE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER!" Stefan yelled up the stair to his brother, who came in from the kitchen.

"What questions?" Damon asked.

"I may have let it slip that you are my great great grandfather. Sorry." I answered with a shrug.

He gave me a look before sighing and saying, "Okay but family only so Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena have to leave no objections."

"Fine they go. I just want answers as to why you didn't tell me."

"Can I go too this feels like a brother moment?" I asked hoping I could knowing very well what was going to happen.

"No you stay you told him so you have to suffer through the explanation with me ."

"Damn you Damon."

"This is your fault Little dove."

"Fine but I'm going to get Emerald first."

With that I walked the girls to the door and made them promise again not to tell anyone about what I told them before getting the wolf in my car and walking back to the house. I got inside and walked back to the living room and sat down on one of the couches by myself and Emerald jumped up next to me and laid down with her head in my lap.

"Okay Stefan where do you want to start?"

"Why did you keep this from me?"

"I was still mad at you and had to keep her safe from harm. And if you knew I didn't know if you would go over the deep end and drink her dry out of anger for keeping this from you." Damon explained honestly.

"How long have you been coming back to see her?"

"I lived here the first few years she was alive then moved away because you came back but I would visit every few months."

"How long have you known we had more family that was alive?"

"Since the day she was born. I got a call from the Mystic Fall's hospital saying that my niece was in labor and of course I came to check it out and as soon as I saw her hazel eyes I just knew she was family."

Stefan thought for a moment before looking at me and asking, "How come you never tried to get close to me?"

"I did. I did try to get close to you when I first saw you at school but panicked and ran."

"You panicked you seemed so bold and confident today."

"Yeah that's what happens when someone threatens someone or something I love I just lose control."

"Okay. So which side of your family is Salvatore?"

"My mother's."

"Nice." He looked back at Damon and continued to ask him questions. I some how manged to fall asleep and had the strangest dream.

~Dream~  

I was in some warehouse in front of a coffin and words were repeated over and over. Save him. He's yours. Mates. And one stood out the most Esther. Who the hell was Esther. Now I was somewhere else and it was even more confusing than the last. I looked around and it was just the woods. There was a specific tree that stuck out to me it was a weeping willow the one my mother planted one week before my birth. Why was I here? The female voice came back and said,"Go here everything will become clear young one."

Now I was somewhere else.

"STOP MOVING ME AROUND, DAMN IT!" I yelled into the nothingness that surrounded me it was comforting for some strange reason. I wanted to stay here forever.

~end dream~

I jerked awake and the dream still felt fresh in my mind, so I got up and got dressed before writing a note to Damon and Stefan saying were I was going. Emerald and I left for the weeping willow in the center of the woods behind the boarding house. We slowly made our way there seeing the sun was just waking up and rising. I have always loved the colors of the sun rise they have always made me feel safe and loved and I don't know I just can't explain it I just love sun rise. The way the pinks and oranges mix perfectly like they belong. After awhile we finally made it to the weeping willow. 

"How is this supposed to make everything clear or whatever." I sighed in frustration. Stupid lady in my dreams stupid Esther whoever that is. Stupid dream in general. I climbed the tree it has always helped me think. Is this what she meant when she said it would make everything clear.  I stood in the tree and lost my footing thinking I was going to hit the ground I was caught.

"This takes the meaning falling for someone to a whole new meaning." Klaus' British accent broke through the silence and I couldn't help it I started laughing  hysterically. There was no stopping my laughter that was so cheesy.

After a few minutes I was left giggling and finding it hard to breathe, "Oh my 'lanta that was so cheesy wolfie." 

He gave me a cheeky smile as my giggles slowly stopped. He put me down as I wiped a fake tear out of my eye. 

"You're such a dork you know that. You act all tough put you're really a big softy."

He's eyes softened when he realized I still had a smile one my face.

"Well Angel, you would be wrong I'm not a 'big softy' as you put it. I'm the big bad hybrid or as you put it," He put on a really good American accent, "the big bad wolf."

My smile became a very soft one, one full of love and happiness. Then it all clicked at what she meant. 

"Yeah but you can still be a big softy on the inside and the big bad wolf on the outside. And only show the soft side to people you love like your family. Now I should... um .... go before my Damon gets worried."

"Good bye Angel. I will get my revenge on you for what you did."

"You stole my Emerald and if I remember all I did was freeze you it was the hundreds of witches that died in that house that hurt you." I smiled innocently at him as his eyes flashed to my lips for no more than a second but I saw the look in his eyes.

"Still you never told me that they would hurt me."

"Well I would have in any other situation but you took my wolf and I'm very protective of my friends that's why I don't have a lot." I said walking off.

I think I have a major crush on Klaus Mikealson.
