Daughter of the Sun -Klaus Mikaelson-

Chapter Three

Third Person POV
Rapunzel sat on the couch in the Gilbert residence, her back straight, legs tucked, and her hands laid on her lap. The Salvatore's and doppelgänger watched the girl from the kitchen, looking at her demeanor and outfit, you could tell she was from a different era. "It was their mother, Esther, who was sealed in the other coffin." Elena tells the brothers. "As in the original witch?" Stefan asked. "What? How is she even alive? I thought her hybrid freak show of a son ripped out her heart a thousand years ago." Damon states. "I don't know. I'm guessing she has a couple connections in the witching community. Elijah said that she wants to live in peace with her family, including Klaus." Elena claims. "She was suppose to be a weapon to help us defeat Klaus." Stefan sighs.
"Well, not anymore. According to Elijah." Elena says. "We still have her." Damon points out. "Yeah, who also won't speak a single word after the cave." Stefan replied, looking at the blonde. "We have to find out who she is and who she is to Klaus." Damon said. "She could be family." Elena suggests. "No. She's human." Stefan says as he shakes his head. "How do we know that Klaus won't tear us to shreds?" Damon asks. "Look, Elijah promised me that his family wouldn't hurt us." Elena states, crossing her arms. Just then, the doorbell rang. She looked at the Salvatore's once more. "And I believe him." She says before heading towards the door. On the doormat laid an envelope with her name in beautiful cursive on the front. "What is it?" Damon questioned the brunette. She opens the envelope, taking out the card. "It's an invitation. 'Please join the Mikaelson family, this evening at seven o'clock. For dancing, cocktails and celebration.'" She read aloud.
"Who the hell are the Mikaelson's?" Stefan asked confused. "The original family." Elena clarifies. "It's bad enough they're moving to town, now they want a housewarming gift?" Damon scoffs. Elena turned the card over to see small but elegant writing on the back. "Wait, there's a note on the back. 'Elena, I think it's time we finally met, Esther.'" The three shared a look.

"What is your name?" Elena asks the blonde who had been staring off in a daze. The blonde blinks, trying to recall. "I-I don't remember." She says. Everything seemed foggy to Rapunzel. She didn't remember anything before waking up. "Do you remember anything?" Stefan asks, concerned. She looked up at him with her big eyes. "I don't remember anything. Why don't I remember." She said with tears filling her vision. They could all tell she was telling the truth. In her eyes she held innocence and kindness. Just being around her made the three warm. They felt as if they could trust the blonde. "Well, how would you feel about going to a ball?" Stefan asked the girl. The two Salvatore's brothers decided they would bring the girl and see how the Mikaelson's reacted. The girl giggled with joy. "Are you asking to court me?" She questioned, a smirk played on her lips. Stefan had begun to get flustered. "I'm teasing! I would love to!" She said with yet another joyful giggle.
Later That Night -Mikaelson Manor
Rapunzel walked gracefully in her newly acquired gown. She walked into the huge manor, unknowing of the people that lived in it. She held both Salvatore's on either arm. The Salvatore's had a sudden need to protect the glowing blonde. They felt almost connected to her somehow. They were second thinking bringing their new friend to this ball, but they needed to figure out what she meant to the Mikaelson's, why she was in the coffin, more importantly what she meant to Klaus. They didn't even know the girls first name, hell, she didn't even know that.
Damon departed, heading towards the mayor, Carol Lockwood. Rapunzel remained by the younger Salvatore. Stefan's eyes wandered the room as he kept a look out for any of the Mikaelson's.
Meanwhile, Damon and Carol engage in a conversation as Kol Mikaelson joins them. He bows, gently taking Mrs.Lockwood's hand in his as he graciously placed a kiss on the back of her hand. "Mayor Lockwood, we haven't formally met. Kol Mikaelson. I hope your lovely town embraces us as much as we plan to embrace it." He says in his strong British accent. Damon takes a step, sticking out his hand. "Damon Salvatore. Have we met?" Damon asks, slyly. Kol just stares at his hand, then looks him dead in the face. "I've met a lot of people. And you don't particularly stand out." He says sassily. Kol walks away from the two, and that's when Damon noticed Elena walk into the Mikaelson Manor in a gorgeous dress. "Excuse me, Carol." Damon says as he makes his way towards the doppelgänger. The blonde and the Salvatore's all reach Elena at the same time. "What are you doing here?" Elena asks, rather rudely. "I could ask you the same thing." Stefan snaps back. Her eyes wander to the beautiful blonde who's arm was wrapped around Stefan's. Her eyes fumed with jealousy. "Surprise, surprise. You're not suppose to be here." Damon says, snapping her out of her angry glare. "Well, I am. And I'm not leaving until I find out what Esther wants. Shall we?" She says as she sticks out her arm towards Damon. She wraps her arm around Damons and the four walk away from the entrance.
In one room, there stood Klaus, trying to get the attention of a girl he didn't even want. He only liked Caroline due to the fact she held many of the same characteristics of his love. Caroline walks away from the hybrid, annoyed. That's when his eyes land on a lone Salvatore, who was waiting for Rapunzel to get back from the restroom. He walks over to the Salvatore, gripping his arm so tight, it snapped. Stefan grunts in pain as he looks up to see Klaus. "Where. is. my. last. coffin." Klaus grits out through his teeth. "Why does it mean so much to you? Is it another sibling? A close friend? Lover?" Stefan says, in pain of the grip on his arm. "That is none of your business. All you should know is it's mine." He says with a growl. "What if I told you we know what's inside." Stefan grunts with a smirk. "You're lying." Niklaus claims, anger fuming. "She is very beautiful, isn't she. Her blonde locks and her blue eyes that turn green. Her glowing skin. I could go on." He says. Klaus's grip tightens. "You unlocked the coffin." He says. "Yes. Now, who is she. You wouldn't want me to do anything rash now, do we?" Stefan says. "Are you trying to threaten me?" Klaus growls. "Maybe I am. So what?"
That's when he turns Stefan and speeds him into the next room, his hand tightly on his throat. Klaus pulls out his fangs, getting ready to lung them into his neck when he heard a scream. His eyes turn to see someone, someone who made his grip loosen on the Salvatore. Niklaus's face devamps, as he looks into the teary eyes of the woman he held dear to his heart. "Rapunzel." He gasped. A smile spreads acrossed his face as he steps forward, but it quickly drops as she steps back, a look of fear across her features. "Zel?" He questions, hurt. She quickly runs around him, helping the younger Salvatore. "Stefan? Are you okay." She asks, placing her hand on his cheek. Klaus looks at the two hurt and heartbroken as she helps the Salvatore out of the room. She looked back once more at the very familiar man. He seemed to know her, making her question who he was to her. As the two walked out, everyone was heading to the ballroom to dance. Stefan holds out his hand towards the blonde who saved his life. "You just almost got killed and you're asking me to dance?" Rapunzel asked, shaking her head with a slight giggle. "We're at a ball, we've got to dance." He says with a slight smile. The two walk into the ballroom, gracefully dancing to Give me love by Ed Sheeran. "So, I'm guessing your name is Rapunzel." Stefan says with a smile. "It sounds..." she pauses, trying to find the right word. "Perfect." Stefan finishes for her. That's when he spins her off into the arms of another. She lands into the one and only Elijah Mikaelson's arms. He lets out a gasp of surprise. "Rapunzel?" He questions, almost not believing it's her. "Do I know you?" She questions. He blinks a few times, confused as to why she didn't remember him. They already knew she couldn't be compelled. She was immune. That's when the song ended. "If you'll excuse me, I have to meet up with my friends." She says before quickly walking away. She goes on the search for any of the three people she knew. She turns onto a balcony, only to see Damon fighting a brown eyed man. She couldn't help but think, what was up with those Salvatore boys and fighting. "Damon!" She called out. That's what made Kol lose focus, his eyes landed on his only best friend. "Zelly?" He questions, with tears forming. That's when Damon took the chance to toss him over the balcony. Damon jumped down after him, but not before grabbing the blonde. Damon lets go of Rapunzel, rushing over to Kol and throwing a few punches. He then snapped his neck, causing Rapunzel to scream. That's when the Mikaelson's, along with Stefan and Elena, pilled out the mansion. "Damon, are you crazy?!" Stefan says, looking between him, Kol and Rapunzel. "Maybe a little." His eyes look towards Elena. "Far be it from me to cause a problem." Damon quickly speeds away, gently taking Rapunzel with him.

Sorry if this chapter was a little all over the place. 😕
