Elena's Cousin( The Vampire Diaries/Twilight crossover)

Thirty Six

Why do they have to make their appearance on my birthday? The day where Klaus was gonna say something about my mom. Why? Just why?

"Hello, dear." Aro greeted me and advanced towards me and Stefan. Marcus and Jane followed him behind.

If Aro was here, there must be something serious going on in Forks or something was bound to happen here.

I didn't attempt to reply. I was squeezing the life out of Stefan's hand.

"So we heard that you nearly died twice and came back to life." Aro enquired in a creepy tone. He was standing so close.

"Why does that matter to you?" Stefan asked, unfazed.

Aro glared at him and looked back at Jane.

Shit. Not right.

She used her power and made Stefan scream in pain. He tried to let go of my hand but I didn't wanna let go.

"Stop, please. Yes, I nearly died twice." I pleaded. Stefan left my hand and was groaning in pain even after she had stopped or I hope she had.

"I'm just here to do my duty. I wanna see if you're a threat in anyway to the vampires." He said and held my hand gently in his, which seriously freaked me out, gentle or not.

"What the hell?" I heard Stefan but didn't turn around. I was scared shitless of these Volturi guys. What if they misunderstand my gesture? And kill me?

His eyes were fixed on mine and I could literally feel his eyes looking deep inside my soul. I stayed put and maintained the eye contact. Let's see how long it goes.

"Interesting." He dropped my hand, gently again with a small smile.

"Who is that blonde guy? I assume he's a vampire but different from us and the Cullens. He seemed to be saving you a lot from dangers." Aro asked once he was done reading my mind or my earlier thoughts. Alice had once told me about Aro's ability.

Blonde? Carlisle and Jasper were blondes but he had mentioned that it wasn't them.

Hmm??

"That would be my brother." A familiar voice piped in and came into view from behind a tree.

"Elijah?" Stefan and I asked in unison. I don't know whether I was shocked or relieved that he was here.

Aro's sickly smile vanished and took a step back from me. It appeared to me as if Aro and Marcus were trying to recall something or confused on seeing Elijah.

"Hello! You guys must be Trixie's friends from Forks. Are you here to celebrate her birthday?" Elijah stood closer to me but a couple of steps ahead. It was like Elijah was our head like how Aro was theirs.

"Oh! It's your birthday!" Aro asked, genuinely surprised. I nodded. Damn! I had started crying the second Jane started her torture on Stefan. So I couldn't bring myself to form a coherent sentence.

"Happy brithday!" Marcus said with a straight face.

"Thanks." I croaked out.

"And you are?" Aro asked Elijah but I wonder why. He didn't bother to ask Stefan.

"I'm Elijah Mikaelson." The look on Aro's face was so funny. I think he was either surprised or terrified.

"Did you say Mikaelson?" Marcus asked. Elijah gave a nod and the two big heads, Aro and Marcus gasped.

"You're the Original." Aro stuttered. "But I thought it was all a myth."

"Oh! We're real. And the blonde one you were asking about is my hybrid brother." Elijah said in his formal tone. Again gasping sounds were heard.

"I'm so sorry to disturb a person associated with your family, sir." Aro looked at me when he said 'person' while apologising to Elijah.

Elijah had a small smile but said nothing.

"It's really an honor to be in your presence, Mr. Mikaelson." Marcus praised. Jane looked clueless but did a most stupid thing. She tried to use her torture technique on Elijah.

"Why can't I use my power on him?" She asked stupidly to which Aro gave her a death glare and apologised again to Elijah.

"Leave." Aro ordered Jane and she quickly left the place.

"I'm so sorry dear if I had scared you." Aro said to me.

"No problem." I shrugged, feeling so high and authoritative because of Elijah. 

"Sorry to you too, young man." Marcus said to Stefan. Yeah, he needed it more than anyone here. Stefan responded with a nod.

"Goodbye." With that Aro proceeded to leave.

Stefan came to my side to check if Aro had crushed my bones or Jane had did something to me.

"I can sense some love here." Marcus said with a small smile before leaving. I couldn't understand his words. Elijah looked amused and Stefan was as clueless as me.

"Are you okay?" I asked Stefan.

"Yeah better. How did she do that? Is she a witch?" Stefan asked.

"No, it's her power, Stefan. Just like how Edward can read minds and Alice gets visions of future." I said and walked to the nearby tree where I had hung my jacket. It was kinda cold.

"You look not so good." Elijah said with a small smile. Stefan took an once over and nodded, agreeing with Elijah. 

"What?" I checked my hair, it was all a bit messy.

"Not that. Your eye makeup had run down your face." Stefan chuckled, pointing at my face.

Oh! Crap.

"Let's go to Rebekah and fix this." Elijah suggested. "Matt was looking for you. You can get going. I'll take her, Stefan."

"Oh!" Stefan pondered but decided to come along with us to Rebekah's.

"You don't trust me, do you?" Elijah asked with his small and measured smile.

"Not after you had kidnapped her the other day." Stefan shrugged and stood beside.

"Stefan!" I hit him playfully on his arm.

Elijah lead the way and I held on to Stefan to Rebekah's in vamp speed.

My birthday cannot get anymore spicier.
