Little Witch

The Ties That Bind

--

I walked through the closet shining my flashlight. I scrunch my face up finding 'ADOPTION FILE' labeled on the box. I sat beside it an opened it finding a photo album, a folder, and other baby things. I opened the folder finding my certificate.

The mother, Franchesca Corey, here by signs her parental rights over to parents Carol and Richard Lockwood.

I skimmed through it before putting it to the side and grabbed my photo album. I opened it and smiled at the pictures of me and Tyler when we were kids. On the last page was Celia, Klaus, Elijah, Noah, and my mother. "What the hell." I whispered and took it out of the holders to get a better look. I took the album back to my room before I pulled some shoes on and left my house.

I slammed my hand on the door loudly, as Tyler then answered the door. "Is he here?" I asked, "KLAUS." I yelled going past him, as the original walked out. "Ahh! Just the witch I was looking for!" He says and I thrust the picture into his chest. "We need to talk." I snapped, "Wait." Tyler says but Klaus looked at the picture and nodded. "Tyler, leave. Give your sister and I some space." He says and Tyler looks at me, "I'll be fine Ty." I tell him and he nods before begrudgingly leaving.  "Follow me." he says and leads me to a small table, and we sat on either side.

"I have questions, and thanks to you the man I loved who gave me answer is dead, so you're next." I tell him and he chuckled, "I'll answer your questions if you answer mine." He says and I watch his eyes trying to read him, "Fine, but you answer all of mine first." I tell him, Deal?" I ask and he laughed, "deal."

I opened my bag and pulled our my journal, "I wrote down everything Noah told me about my mother, Celia, and the Corey line, but the thing is after seeing that picture I'm doubting the truthfulness. Is it true?" I asked handing it to him.

Klaus read the pages and chuckled setting the book down. "You see darling, this is why The Corey's were all wiped out. Manipulated by the likes of pretty faces." He teases, "Please." I say and scoff. "I want the truth Klaus, and I'll tell you where your family is." I say smirking sitting back in the chair. Klaus eyed me, as I leaned towards him, "And the difference between me and anyone else. I don't lie, and you see this?" I ask as I look down at the ring on my finger. "Lie detector spell, go ahead try lying." I say smirking, "Do you know where my family is?" he asked, "Yes." I say and the black diamond turned blue. "Truth." I say smiling, "I won't tell you if you tell me everything." I lie and the diamond turned red, "Lie." he breathed and I nod.

I placed my hand on the table, so we could both look at it. "Who is my mother?" I asked, "Agnes Corey, she was 14 when her father forced her to have a child to keep the bloodline pure. She gave you up to Franchesca and Noah mere minutes after you were born, and told her family you were a stillborn. It wasn't until you were 9, and looked exactly like Celia that the Corey's came after you." Klaus told me and I nodded, "So Franchesca wasn't a Corey?" I asked, "Oh god no, she wished she was, but.. She played Noah like a fool." He tells me and the black diamond never changed from the blue color.

"The Corey's murdered her, and Noah escaped with you. I didn't hear a thing until you were trying to kill me." He says and I chuckle. "I make an impression." I mumble, "But wait, why did Noah kill Celia?" I asked. "Noah learned of my plans to break the curse, and double crossed me killing her without hesitation, and then turned me over to the witches." he says and I looked down at the ring gulping. "Celia asked me to watch over you, but Noah killed her before she could tell me anything." Klaus explained and I nodded. "So everything Noah told me is a lie?" I asked, but he didn't answer me, and I shook my head sighing.

"Wait, okay let me get this straight. Agnes was Celia's daughter, and her father, wanted the doppelganger line to keep going, so made her have a child?" I asked Klaus who was watching me the entire time. "Yes." he speaks and I slumped back looking away from him. "Bonnie basically killed my dad, Noah basically tricked me into loving him, just don't kill my brother." I say turning to him and he placed a hand on mine. "If there's one thing I know darling, it's family." he chuckled, and took his hand away. "Anymore questions?" he asked.

"Is my mother still alive? Like the other Corey witch in New Orleans?" I asked and he looked at me crazy. "Darling, there is no Corey witch alive in New Orleans. The wolves took them all out." He told me and I looked down as the blue shined bright before going black. "Then who the hell did I talk to in the cottage?" I asked loudly and he got up walking over to pour himself a drink. Except when he walked over he placed a glass of whiskey in front of me. "Stefan wants to play, and told me if you ever came asking questions to tell you that he isn't giving up without a fight. I mean.. he buried me alive. If it wasn't for Damon I'd probably be dead right now so." I say and shrug as I downed the alcohol.

"Tell me darling, where is Stefan right now?" he asked and I held up a finger pulling out my phone to text him. "He's at the boarding house." I tell Klaus who nods and turns to one of the hybrids, "Take her home will you love." He asked and the girl agreed, before he left.

I sit on my bed with my knees to my chest, as I hear a knock on the door. I turn and see Tyler. "Got a minute?" he asked and I nodded as he sets a bag down, before walking in. "Whats going on Ty?" I asked as he pulls me into a hug. "I'm leaving for a bit, Liyah." He tells me but I lean back, "What no!" I yell. "I have to Aaliyah, I'm going to leave and break the sire bond, and then I'll come back for you and we can go anywhere you want I promise." he whispered to me as tears come to my eyes. "Don't leave me alone Tyler please." I say as tears fall down my face. He sighs and wipes my tears, "I have to sissy." he whispers and I sigh nodding, "okay." I mumble and he hugs me tightly before kissing my head.

He then pulls back and looks me in the eyes, "You are strong. You are my amazing baby sister who can kick anyones ass magic or not." he says making me giggle. "I'll come back for you I promise, okay?" he asked and I nodded. He kissed my head and hugged me again, before pulling back. I closed my eyes tightly, and when I opened them, he was gone.
