Forgive me ~ Klaus Mikaelson

I sigh as I tap my fingers on the steering wheel, seeing a sign pass my window saying I've arrived in Mystic Falls. I'm only here to try and find someone for my Dad, who's back home about four hours away. He's sick and can't travel, that's why I'm doing this for him. My Mum isn't around anymore, and my brother is dead so it's up to me to do this for him.

Fifteen minutes later, I park outside a place called Mystic Grill. God I hate small towns. I slam my car door shut and decide to look in there for anyone who might know the person I'm looking for. I push open the door, seeing a couple of people on tables, at the pool table and at the bar. There's a blond guy behind the counter, wearing a uniform, talking to a black haired guy and he looks a bit drunk to me.

I walk up to the bar, catching the guys attention and he signals to the black haired guy, who looks around and sees me. I look into his blue eyes, getting the sense that he's not actually drunk.

"Hi." He sounds slurred and I roll my eyes, getting grossed out real quick.

"Ummm hey." I reply, letting my hazel eyes look around and see the guy is hiding a stake in his inside jacket pocket.

Huh.

"What's your name?" He asks and I sit one stool away from him, making sure he doesn't touch me

"Xael." I answer, looking around to the worker.

"Hey...Matt." I look at the blond guys name tag and he raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know anyone by the name Elizabeth Forbes?" I ask and they both look interested, but the black haired guy looks suspicious.

"Ummmm..." Matt starts to say but the black haired dude glares at him, probably mentally threatening him.

"No...can't say I do." He says, grabbing the rag and wiping down the bar and the black haired guy tuts.

"Well if you do see anyone with that name, can you tell her that I need to speak to her ASAP?" I ask and he nods, making me send a quick smile.

"Thank you, have a good day." I say, turning around and walking out the bar.

As I'm reaching the exit. I see a blonde girl and a brunette girl enter. I glance at them, catching their attention and they give me weird looks as I pass them and make my way outside. My light golden brown hair is rustled around by the wind a little as I walk over to my car and get in.

Being nearly 18 sucks sometimes, because of the responsibilities but sometimes it can be fun. I decide to explore so I go to the local museum to see if there's anything interesting. I slowly walk around the ancient folklore things like old witches necklace, actually interested and i read the information card closely. It says that this belonged to a supposed witch from the 1800's. I place my hand on the glass, checking no one is near before I hone in on the energy from the necklace. Surely enough a red gleam appears around my hand and I manage to siphon some magic out of it.

Mmmmm...i didn't actually expect that to work. Seems like it actually did belong to a witch. They didn't lie.

I'm Xael Lazuli, a little like that blue stone. My Dad is Charlie Lazuli and he's 50, I turn 18 in a couple of weeks. My Mum has been gone for a couple of years now, she disappeared when I was fourteen. No one really knew much about her or how old she was, including my dad. Her name was definitely June Blackmore. When she was younger, around four or five, her Mum married again and then they had a daughter called Elizabeth Forbes. So basically, I'm trying to find my half-aunt.

It's my dad's wish, for me to connect with the other part of my family before he dies. Apparently my mum wanted me to as well, i guess she broke off from them when she was my age. I got my powers from my mum, since my dad doesn't have them, and i think she got them from her dad. My mum used to yell at me for not being a normal witch but now it doesn't really bother me.
