Looking For Tomorrow // II

Chapter Fourteen

I couldn't be more than happy at the moment. Elijah and Rebekah have returned to town, Granted, they came to town because they got the cure from Katherine, not just a fun visit.

A 'family' meeting was requested to discuss the cure, and Elijah requested that I sit in.

We all sat at the table together, "Elijah, being a human means a fresh start. I can grow old and have a family and fill my days with meaning, knowing that each one matters." Rebakah explains, which causes Nik to laugh.

"Well, that was poetic." Nik tells his sister..

"Well, if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus, please." Elijah requests of his brother.

Nik stops laughing , becoming serious again, "Silas can appear as anyone, He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. He will torment me until I give him the cure." Nik explains to his sibling simply.

"And in doing so he will break down the wall to the other side." Rebkah counters.

"So, it doesn't trap him there when he dies. He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate." he tells his sister, before turning to Elijah, "You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion." he says to him, slightly taking a jab.

"Don't be rude Nik." I tell him, raising an eyebrow at the last comment. Nik just gives me an 'innocent' smile.

"He will open the flood gates for every supernatural being that has ever dies." Rebkah reminfs them.

"Which would include your brothers." I try to lighten the mood.

"Yes, including Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back." Nik jumps on my comment.

"Please Nik, you hated Kol and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life." Rebekah sasses him.

"Elijah please." Nik looks over at him to get the cure, essentially.

Elijah looks at him very unamused by his please, "Your personal discomfort might be sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy, Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness." Elijah explains to him.

Nik then gives him a deadpan look, "Tell me you're joking. Tell me you're not letting me to an eternity of  torture." Nik says.

Elijah leans back on his chair, "I made my decision." he tell him calmly.

Nik stands from his seat quickly, clearly not happy. He goes to Rebekah's side and leans down and whispers something in her ear, before leaving the room.

Rebekah physically composed herself and clears her throat before turning to look at Elijah, "Where is the cure?" she asks him.

Elijah sits up again, "Rebekah, it's no secret that you are impulsive, emotional, and at times morally questionable. You have to prove to me this isn't just another one of your whims, that you know precisely what you are giving up here." he tells her.

"Fine anything." Rebekah says quickly. Elijah seems to think as to how she could prove it to him.

"Uh, why not act human for today?" I suggest to them.

They both look my way, Elijah smiling at my suggestion, and Rebekah seems confused.

"That's an excellent suggestion. Rebekah, you'll live a day as a human. This day. No vampire privileges-- no strength, no compulsion. No nothing. If you succeed, if you still believe this is what you want, the cure is yours." Elijah offers to her. Rebekah seems no longer confused, and more surprised, but she accepts.

--------------------------------------

Rebekah leaves soon after the meeting to go shopping for Prom dresses. I was preparing my camera equipment for Prom. Then I hear Caroline's voice shouting downstairs. "Clara! Klaus! Clara!" her voice echos. Confused I walk down stairs.

I don't see her in the hall and guess she's entered one of the rooms to look for us. "Hello! Did you not here me?" I hear here voice come from the room with the fireplace.

I walk into the room and see Nik facing the fireplace and Caroline a few feet from the entrance. "Of course I heard you, Caroline. I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you., I'm in no mood for company." Nik informs her.

Caroline crosses her arms, "Well, I'm sorry that you're having personal issues, but I have real crisis on my hands, and I need Clara's help. Elena stole my prom dress!" She explains.

Nik turns around as she continues to rant. "I went to pick it up and the tailor said that someone already did. And when I asked who, she said she couldn't remember. Hello? The vervain is on the town water supply. She was compelled." she exclaimed.

Nik looks past her to me, and we both start laughing at what she deemed a criss. She looks between there two of us, "It is not funny." she states.

"No, I know, I know." Nik tells her and continues to laugh.

"Yeah, this is a serious crisis." I chime in, trying to suppress my giggling.

"Then stop laughing! Look, I know that prom technique isn't important to you, but it's important to me." Caroline explains.

"I can help you go find one if you'd like." I offer to her.

She turns to me, "That's the thing I don't just want another dress. I wanna look hot. Like Princess-Grace- of Monaco- hot." She explains, then looks over at Nik, "So, could you please go look into your creepy trophy case of family collections and dig me out something royal caliber?" she asks of him.

Nik looks at me with a smirk and amusement in his eyes. "I think we can get you a perfect dress Care. Don't worry about it." I tell her, shooting her a smile, as I think of the handful of dresses that would suit her.

----------------------

I left early before Caroline to get my camera get up for the 'Photo' area before the teens come in.

Once a good chunk of time had past, and what felt like a hundred couples already. The dance itself already was filled with photos through out the years of the series.

During a slow session I look around the party. Stefan was with Elena, giving me some sense of releif. I see Matt and Rebakh chatting by the snack table.

Another couple approach, and my job resumes. After they leave another person walks into position, I look at them, and had to do a double take.

"Jeremy?" I questin who was standing infornt of me. My eyes wide, tears immediatly coming to the surface.

"Hey Clara.." he says to me. I just stare at him. My dead little brother.

"How?" I try and ask, still in shock that I was looking at him.

"I miss you sis." he tells me, taking a step towards me.

"But you're dead." I say in disbelief, not moving from my spot behind the camera.

"But I can be brought back. Bonnie can bring me back, for good." he tells me.

"Bonnie can?" I question, not really believing him.

"Yeah, she has the power to do so. Maybe you can convince her. From one witch to another." he tells me.
