Krystina's POV

  I went home with Nik, Elijah, and Kol after everything that went down at the hospital. I stayed long enough to get an unconscious Liam into Stiles' Jeep and took off. My mates' constant worrying was becoming a bit too much, but I let it be. We pulled to their mansion looking house and got out. Elijah took my bag before I could get it, insisting that he could carry it.

Both Nik and Kol had a hand on my back as we followed Elijah inside. It was quiet when we entered, none of us spoke and we just stood there.

  "So...." I started, breaking the silence. "What now?"

  "Now, you get some rest." Elijah said, tossing my bag onto the couch.

  "You've got school and we" Nik gestured between the three of them," need to figure out who that man was from the hospital."

  "I can help." I said with a shrug of my shoulders.

  All three of them immediately shook their heads. "No, we don't need you hurt."

  I rolled my eyes. It's not like I was new to the supernatural. I knew how to handle myself and my powers made it easier.

  "Look, guys, I can do this. I've handled supernatural stuff before. Hell, Scott's my best friend so I would be involved anyway." I argued.

  I can see that they wanted to continue pushing the subject but let it go at the pleading look.

  "Fine." Elijah started and I started to smile. "But, if it ever comes down to something please so as we say."

  I pursued my lips, trying to contain my smile, and gave them a nod. Elijah gave a timid smile and left to the kitchen.

  "Well, why don't we find you a room and get you settled in. Elijah is gonna fix something up quick for you to eat." Kol said and started towards the stairs.

  "Wait, I can stay?" I questioned hesitantly.

  Kol gave a humored smirk. "Well, of course! You're our mate."

  That statement caused me to blush. He laughed and guided me up the stairs. He took me to a hallway with multiple doors.  He led me to one of the ones closest to the stairs.

  "Here you are, my room is across from yours and Elijah and Nik's rooms are two doors down." He opened the door and let me in.

The room was huge. Everything was also white. The bed looked like it would feel like a cloud. Kol smiled at my awestruck state. Klaus entered a few moments later with Elijah. Elijah was carrying a plate with a sandwich on it and handed it to me.

"Thanks." I mumbled, already biting into it. "So anyone up for a movie night?"

   •••

My head was moving up and down. My brows furrowed and I slowly opened my eyes. I started to panic a little when I didn't immediately recognize the room. Then I remembered what happened last night. I sat up from my position on the bed. Elijah was laying next to me still clad in his suit while Nik was at the end of the bed asleep, and Kol was sleeping in the chair.

I bit my lip thinking about last night. We had spent hours sitting and watching movies. Throwing random comments here and there on certain things. Kol stirred in the chair, his eyes opened and lazily scanned the room. His eyes held humor when he looked at his brothers and held a soft look when he saw me.

He quietly got up from the chair and tiptoed toward me. He held his hand out as a silent invitation. I grabbed it and he helped untangle me from Elijah. We left the room and headed to the kitchen. Kol pulled out a glass from a cupboard and filled it with water before sliding it to me. He pulled out a bag from the fridge that had a red tint to it and ripped it open with his teeth.

    I took a closer look at it and realized it was a blood bag. My face scrunched up in bewilderment.

  "Why do you have that?" I asked him.

Kol adorned a confused look. "To drink?"

  "Y-You're gonna drink that?" I sputtered.

  He froze for a second then facepalmed himself. "Bloody hell, Elijah!"

  "Sorry, love. To keep it short and sweet my brothers and I are vampires. The first ones ever in fact."

  I blinked.

"Oh, uh, okay." I simply said.

"At least she knows now." A voice spoke up from behind her.

She turned around and was met with Nik smirking at her. He walked by her to get to the fridge, kissing her forehead in greeting.

    "So, you guys are the first-ever vampires?" I asked again just to make sure.

  They both nodded.

  "How'd that happen?"I asked.

  "Our mother was a witch. The Original witch. She did this to keep us safe and then, later on, tried to kill us for it." Elijah joined in, finally awake.

  "She tried to kill you?!?" I was shocked. I mean, she was their mother! Why would she want to do that?

  "Indeed. Nothing more to do about it. She's dead." Klaus said blankly while drinking some blood from a mug.

  "I'm sorry." I said softly.

  "Why are you sorry, love?" Klaus asked.

  I slouched in the seat I was sitting in. "It's just... she was your mother, that's got to hurt."

  "It's fine. We're alive. If she had killed us, then we would have never met you." Kol spoke softly.

  I smiled at the three of them. My mates were perfect. I never would have thought I would have anyone like them in my life.

   "I'd say it's time for breakfast. Suggestions?"

   •••

     I was on my way back to my house after having breakfast with Nik, Elijah, and Kol. It was a red light when my phone started blaring.

  "Hello?" I answered.

  "Hey, Krystina!" Stiles' voice replied, unnaturally high.

  I pressed on the gas when the light turned green. I didn't say anything for a moment. "What'd you do?"

  "What makes you think I did something?!" Stiles sputtered.

  "Two things. One: your voice was high, Two: gut feeling. That and you seem to always have done something." I told him.

  "I do not..... remember that Liam kid? From the hospital?"

  "Yeah." I uttered slowly.

"Well, uh, we kind of kidnapped him."

"Stiles!" I scolded him.

"I know it sounds bad but we panicked. Scott bit the kid and we didn't want to take the chance. Look, can you just meet us at school?"

  "Give me 15 minutes."
