Klaus' POV

My siblings and I were currently packing our few belongings and clothes they bought while here. I had also gotten cars for Kol, Rebekah, and Elijah, although they are at the house in Forks that I had bought before I had left as Finn already has one. As we were almost finished packing, I decided I needed a drink and decided to bring Elijah along. I needed to apologize to Elijah before we left town. I left him last because I felt ashamed of myself. For not listening to him when he was right all the time. But I chose to ignore him and stabbed in the back, metaphorically and literally. I had found Elijah downstairs in the library packing up the rest of the books.

" Elijah, come with me into town for a moment? " I asked of him from where I stood in the doorway to the library. He put the book that was in his hand into the box and followed me out of the house and into my car. The car ride to the Mystic Grill was filled with silence. Not an awkward silence but of comfortable silence. Once I pulled into the Mystic Grill, we both stepped out of the car and headed inside towards the bar and sat together. We ordered bourbons and drank silently until Elijah decided it was time to break the silence.

" Klaus, I'm sure the reason you brought me here wasn't to grab a drink. What is bothering you? " Elijah asked concerned. I took a deep breath, it now or never.

" I wanted to apologize to you. I wanted to from the beginning, I just didn't know how to. " I took another breath and apologized, " I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not listening to you when you gave me advice for so many years when I should've. I'm sorry for stabbing you in the back metaphorically and literally. I'm sorry for ever thinking that you were ever against me. I'm sorry for lying to you and taking advantage of you. 

I thought I was doing the right thing when I clearly wasn't. I'm sorry it took this long to know what I was doing was wrong, to apologize to you. I blame myself for betraying your trust. I'm sorry for becoming the one thing I've hated the most. For becoming a totally different person and just a corpse of my humanity. I'm sorry for everything and I hate myself for drawing us apart when I thought I was protecting us. But I was wrong and I will forever regret what I had done for the past thousand years of anger and fear. 

But there is one thing I will never regret. That is meeting Amelia, for she has helped me see the truth of my ways and I will thank her always and forever. I hope that we can become the brothers we once were while we were human again. " I wiped away the tears I didn't know I had away.

" Niklaus. " Elijah said making me raise my head to look at him. He too also had tears running down his cheeks but didn't wipe them away. Instead, he took me into his grasp and hugged me as we did when we were human. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged Elijah tighter. No matter how many times I pushed Elijah away through our thousand years he always stood beside me. After a moment we separated from each other's arms and sat back down drinking our bourbons and talking and laughing and was soon joined by Finn, Rebekah, and Kol. They had sat down ordered their own drinks and we all continued to talk and laugh.

" So how'd you two meet? You and Amelia? " Finn asked me.

" I was in Phoenix, Arizona at the time. I needed air so I went for a walk and bumped into her. I caught before she reached the ground and I ended up walking her home. She was staying with her sister and step-mother. Her mother didn't tell her father about her and when she died in childbirth, Amelia was sent to live with her father, Charlie. He's the chief of police in Forks. Then about a year later, her sister Bella was born. Amelia and her step-mother, Renee have a pretty good relationship and when Renee and Charlie filed for divorce, Renee kept Bella and Charlie kept Amelia. She goes to Arizona every summer and spends time with Bella and Renee. " I explained to my siblings, smiling at the memory but then frowned and tightened my fists as I another memory came to thought and continued explaining, " After six months of knowing Mel and three months of dating her, Mel and Bella were walking back home from dinner with a friend when something happened. Mel and Bella were grabbed and dragged into an alley they were walking pass by five drunk men. Two were holding Bella and two were holding Mel while one of them was trying to rape Mel. They were both screaming and calling for help when I heard and ran to them. I killed all five of the men while Mel calmed down her sister from her shock, either from being in that situation or seeing her sister's vampire boyfriend ripping five men apart like it was nothing, probably the latter. "

" Did you compel her? " Rebekah asked, furious with what she just heard. I shook my head.

" No. She would just find out sooner or later anyway so Mel and I told her about what I am. " I answered and continued, " Then she went back to Forks and about three months ago Bella moved in with her and their dad as Renee is traveling with her new husband and Bella wanted to spend more time with Charlie. A month or two after she moved to Forks, she started dating a cold-one. "

" Cold-ones are there?! " Kol asked in disbelief.

" Yes and unfortunately a friend of mine is one of them. " I answered turning to Elijah and asked, " You remember Carlisle Cullen, don't you Elijah? " He nodded.

" Are you sure? " Elijah asked also in disbelief. I nodded my head.

" Unfortunately. I met his family. He's a doctor at the hospital and his family feeds on animals as they do not want to kill anyone. " I answered and explained, " His first turned, Edward is the one Bella dated. When Mikael killed Mel I called a witch, Maddox to come and bring a ring for Mel and protect Bella while I helped Mel with her control. 

Maddox also had a ring spelled for Bella. It produces a shield to protect her from anything supernatural that poses a threat. It cleared her mind from the cold-ones control. Apparently, they pull humans in and that unfortunate human turned out to be Bella. Weeks after she put on the ring enabling the shield, she could see how much Edward was controlling her and hated it. She felt like she couldn't do anything without his permission and broke it off with him. 

A few days ago, I got a call from a hysterical Mel. They went shopping along with two other friends and were in a car accident. She gave Bella her blood and went to check the driver and gave him blood as well. Bella didn't make it. So Mel too her to a motel and called Maddox to bring a daylight ring. Now with Sage there, Bella will be fine and in control soon. Now anything else you'd like to know or do you wanna get going? "

" No, let's go! I want to meet them! " Rebekah told me excitedly. I chuckled at stood up, paying for our drinks.

" Wait! " I heard from behind me. I turned and Elena Gilbert, the doppelganger, and her two friends, Caroline and Bonnie. I sighed and looked at my siblings and Gloria and saw they were also looking at the trio. Gloria especially looking at the fellow witch.

" What do you want? " I asked annoyed.

" You were serious? You really aren't going after me and leaving town? " Elena asked.

" Yes. I give you my word. Tell the Salvatore brothers that. " I answered.

" Why? " Elena asked again.

" Believe it or not. But not everything revolves around you. Take it and have a normal life. " I answered turning back to my siblings.

" Or we can just kill her. " Rebekah said and started walking over to the three friends.

" No. " I said stepping in front of Rebekah. " Let this go and leave. Start over and meet her. For me. " Rebekah looked at me and glanced back at the trio and back at me then sighed.

" Only for you. And because I really want to meet them. " Rebekah answered and turned around and walked out of the diner. My brothers and I followed her out to the cars and were stopped once again by the Salvatore brothers. I sighed in annoyance.

" What the bloody hell do you want now? " I asked my patience running short. Damon looked uncertain for some reason while Stefan looked resigned.

" Just here to say goodbye. " Stefan said.

" And to make sure to didn't kill Elena. " Damon answered. So that's why he looks like that. He was hoping to stab me or something.

" Well as you can see we're leaving. Goodbye. " I told them and got into my car with Elijah and Gloria following suit while Finn got into his and Rebekah and Kol fought for the passenger seat of Finn's car. I sighed at their childish acts and smiled. I did miss this. In the end, Kol won by shoving Rebekah and quickly jumping into the passenger seat. Finn, Elijah, and I laughed as Gloria smiled at Rebekah's pout as she resigned herself to the backseat. Finn and I started our cars and drove out of town heading to Chicago to drop off Gloria as I promised and would then head to Forks, Washington.
