The Vampire Diaries

"Sure," Hope nodded, "If it'll make you feel better then of course."

---

"He's gonna hate me now too isn't he? I was the one who suggested killing her..."

"He won't hate you," Klaus shook his head, "Lets not think about it for now, go up and speak to him if it's worrying you too much."

---

Henrik just nodded a little bit and got to his feet. "It might… I don't know."

"I'll leave him with Hope, she'll be able to do more than I can. Twins have that bond thingy."

---

"Well we can give it a try for nothing, mm?" Hope said, heading to her wardrobe to pick out a coat and shrugging it on.

"I uh… slipped some of my blood into her drink earlier, Hope. Was scared that someone would go after her because of who she was and I'd lose her… it still would of been in her system when dad killed her." Henrik told her quietly.

---

Klaus just nodded.

"You met her threeweeks ago. She's been brought up as a hunter to despise our kind, and she'll be forever stuck at fifteen. Do you really think she'll want to complete the transition?"

---

"I'll go deal with them three upstairs, then phone Astrid and Mia, see how they're getting on, do you want to go check on Vanessa?"

"No." Henrik replied quietly, "Want to get answers from her though - and feed myself. Give her a hard time for hurting me, ask her why the hell she done it." he added before heading out of the room and down the stairs, assuming Hope would follow him.

---

"I'll go and visit Vanessa," Klaus decided quietly.

"She was probably just scared Henrik if mum and dad went and confronted her. Adrenaline probably kicked in and she chose flight over fight." Hope explained quietly. "Me and Rik are going out for something to eat!" She called over her shoulder as she left the house.

"Stay together!" Tatia called after them, rubbing Klaus' leg. "Vanessa was in a bad place earlier when she snapped at you, I'm sure she'll be glad for the visit."

Caleb: Trin come on in! he called to his cousin shifting on the couch and pulling Mia onto his lap holding her closer to him You sure you're okay?

Trinity: opened the door stepping inside Everything okay?

"That's what I'm thinking," 

---

"Probably, but even if it's just saying bye… saying sorry…" Henrik whispered quietly in response to his sister, heading towards the alleyway near Dakota's home where he assumed his father had left her.

---

Mia nodded, before whispering in response to Trinity. "Caleb should probably tell you."

Trinity: sat down on a small loveseat across from them and looked at Caleb What's going on?

Caleb: took a deep breath letting it out slowly Trin uh..there's no other way to put it other then just being blunt with it. Um my dads back, he was here earlier, hurt Mia and threatened us both...we called her dad and he says he's gonna handle it but uh you should know anyway...

"You know Ness, she can't stay mad at you for long." Tatia smiled.

---

Dakota was still laying where Klaus had left her, though there was a faint heartbeat from where her body had started to mend itself.

"Hurt you too," Mia added quietly, looking up at Caleb.

Malvolio sat himself down beside Trinity silently.

---

Henrik just glanced over his shoulder at his sister before moving Dakota's head so her neck would heal a little bit faster. Seeming rather on edge around her now, even though she was still unconscious. 

---

Klaus nodded and got to his feet, "I'll head off now, then,"

"She wont hurt you whilst I'm here." Hope assured.

Dakota groaned as her eyes fluttered a few minutes later, her arms twitching a little as she was disorientated.

---

"See you later." Tatia hummed, kissing him softly before he went.

Trinity: A-are you both alright? she stammered reaching for Mal's hand

Caleb: I know Mia but I'm alright...yeah Trin we're okay now.

"I know… I'm fine." Henrik muttered quietly in response, taking another step back from Dakota and closer to hope. Watching Dakota silently.

---

Klaus kissed her softly in return before leaving and heading towards Vanessa's.

---

Malvolio frowned and squeezed Trinity's hand gently.

"Fine,"

Vanessa was curled up on the sofa, eyes slipping closed as she tried to fight off sleep, having let Leon take Holly up to bed and read her a story.

---

Dakota sat up, not taking any notice of her surroundings as she rubbed the back of her neck, as sudden realization set in what had happened she started shaking, "No, no no no no." she whispered, completely panicking.

Caleb: So what brings you both this way?

Trinity: smiled lightly Oh well we just wanted to tell you both something

"Dakota." Henrik stated simply, just so she would know that he was there. Not moving towards her at all though.

---

Klaus knocked on the door before heading inside when he got there, "Ness?"

---

"Mm, and Mia can you tell the others when we tel you what it is? My dad, Cam and Viol know but I'm not sure if anyone else will want to. So you tell them to make sure?"

Dakota winced at the noise, it being fairly loud to her newly sensitive ears. Turning round she scrambled to her feet and backed away from him. "How dare you do this to me! You didn't ask, you had no right!"

---

"Mm?" Vanessa hummed, looking up at him.

Caleb: tilted his head slightly

Trinity: It's not bad Cal, relax.

"How dare you stake my mother through the heart and pour vervain down my back." Henrik hissed sharply in response. "I trusted you, and you knew you wouldn't be hurt whilst I was there and whilst you were inside your own home and you acted like that. I trusted you, Dakota!"

---

"How're you?"

---

"I'lll tell them," Mia confirmed quietly.

"Good," Malvolio whispered, glancing to Trinity then.

"He was threatening to burn it down! They both were, and then you grabbed me!" Dakota hissed, face vamping out as she struggled to control her emotions. "How dare you think you have the right to dictate my life and what happens with it when we've barely been dating a day, barely known each other a few weeks! Do you realise what you've done?! The only family I had left will turn his back on me! My dad will turn his back on me!"

---

"Exhausted, both emotionally and physically. Grieving."

"Don't feed then, I never thought it'd actually happen I was just taking a precaution to try and benefit you. I've given you a chance to say goodbye at the least, it isn't dictating your life in the slightest. As if your father hadn't of done that when he found out about us anyway. I didn't grab you, I took away the now which you were pointing at my dad and myself before that so you could hurt anyone else and tried to calm you down. I suppose it doesn't even matter now, does it? You were probably planning to kill me the entire time, weren't you? By how easily you threw that vervain over me, hurt my mother, it wouldn't of surprised me. I trusted you! I…" he shook his head, "I really liked -cared for - you."

---

"You lost it?" Klaus asked with a frown.

Trinity: Well Mal and I are expected a baby in a few months. she told them easily glancing at Mal and smiling

Caleb: Congrats Trin...

"Congratulations." Mia mumbled, "Bet Uncle Finn, Viol and Cam aren't too pleased about it, huh Mal?"

Malvolio grimaced and shook his head, "Don't think so…"
