The New World

Stefanie's POV

I came home and I was sad. Without saying a word, I went upstairs.

- Hey, Stefanie, how was you..- my mom said, then she saw me walking fast, towards the stairs with my head down.

Why would Elijah lie to me? We considered each-other friends, right?

But he gave me his number, and told me to call him, or text him. So...I guess I should call him , because I really want to know...well...everything about him.

- Hey Elijah, it's Stefanie.

- Hello Stefanie!- Elijah said, with a voice full with panic.

- Um...Stefanie...can you meet me at my house...at 7, I mean now?

- Um...yeah...sure at 7...can you text me the location? I'm coming.

- Yeah okay, I will send it in a minute.

- Ok see you later Elijah!

- See ya!

The hour was 6:45 so I went downstairs, put on the shoes, and when I was walking out of the boarding house, my father said:

- Hey Stef where are you going?

- To a friend, dad.

- A friend? At 7 o'clock?

- Yeah, I will come as soon as possible, I promise!

- Okay, Stef... I will be waiting for you!

- Bye dad, I said walking with my phone in the hand. Then I got my bike and went to the location that Elijah send me.

I was thinking and thinking, till the GPS said:

- You arrived to the location.

It was a beautiful, big house. I walked to the door, and knocked in it.

The door was oppened by Klaus.

- Hello Stefanie!

- Hi, Klaus!- I said, actually I was expecting Elijah to open it, but anyway.

- Where is Elijah?

- Ahh, I heard he's got some explaining to do, right?- he said smirking.

- Yes he does!-I said looking around for Elijah. When I realised he was nowhere to be seen, I figured he was upstairs, so I yelled:

- ELIJAH!! Elijah where are you?

- Calm down Stefanie, he is upstairs in his room, and he probably heard you yelling so he must be coming here,-Klaus said with a bit of anger mixed with calmness in his voice.

Elijah's POV

Oh, God,I don't know what to do. Tell her the real story, or lie to her again? No, I can't do this to Damon and Elena, but...I can't lie to Stefanie, I want to be her friend, but she can't be my friend if I continue to lie to her! I'm surprised that she even came! She must be thinking I'm a big liar, and I don't know what else...Ok, now, Elijah, you gotta do this! Go downstairs!

Stefanie's POV

- Stefanie! You came!- Elijah said coming from upstairs, with a tone of surprise coming from his voice.

- Of course I came! You owe me an explanation, remember?- I said with an ironic tone.

- Yes I do. Dear brother can you leave us alone for a minute?

- Okay, but you two, behave!- he said with a smirk in his lips.

- Okay so Stefanie...I Iied to you because I couldn't tell you my real story. My name is Elijah Mikaelson, and I am an Original Vampire.

- You what?

- I am a vampire. They are many vampires out there, but they are not original. We made them. The Mikaelson family made them. We were the first vampires in history. Our mother, Esther, she was a witch, and after losing her yongest child, Henrik, she couldn't bear losing any of her children, so she made us vampires, through and immortality spell.

- So... you're telling me...you're the first vampire in history?! That you're immortal?!

- Yes but, it's not just me. I have siblings, as you see, is Klaus, he isn't just a vampire, he is a hybrid. He is both a vampire and a werewolf.

- Werewolf!!?- said shocked.

- Yes a werewolf. Years ago, he had an affair with a werewolf girl, Hayley. She got pregnant with Klaus's child but they didn't love each- other. We decided to keep her in our house, in New Orleans to live there, and raise her baby with Niklaus and the rest of us.- he said, panicking.

- When Hope was born, our life became more beautiful. Having a child at our home...she was so pure, innocent, and she made us feel all... the same.

- Meanwhile... I fell in love with Hayley. She was a hybrid because she had in her belly a tribrid child- vampire- werewolf-witch. The witch's gene she got from her grandmother, and the werewolf gene from both of her parents, and the vampire gene from her father. After 11 years of Hope's birth, Hayley died. We have enemies, and one of them killed her to get revenge to us.

- Oh my god! -I said, covering my mouth with my hands.

- Yeah I know... it's... sad. So now... after I lost the love of my life, I came here, for... a fresh start. And Klaus...he is sad for Hayley too but he doesn't show it... that much.

- Ohhh! I'm sorry about Hayley, Elijah, I said with my hands above his.

- Yeah. Me too. - he said

- How is Hope now?- I said.

- Struggling,- Klaus came into the room, out of nowhere, as always.

- Wait, he can hear us?- I asked Elijah.

- Yes.

-Oh wow!!

- After all...she lost her mother. Now she is at the Salvatore school for young and gifted- Klaus continues.

- Wait...Salvatore?!

- Yes Salvatore, it is Alaric's and Caroline's school. - he said.

- Oh God, this story is getting weirder and weirder every second!

- Your cousins that are witches, they go there to, love.

- Lizzie and Josie go there?

- Yeah, too much to process huh?- Elijah said, getting up to drink a glass of bourbon.

- No...I understand...wait...how old are you Elijah?

- I have been... 19 for... a thousand and more years. And my other siblings too, Freya, she is a witch, Kol and Rebekah vampires, Finn and Henrik, dead.

-And so are our parents!- Klaus said, with a smirk in his lips.

- Wait...I thought vampires are immortal. They can be killed with...stakes!

- Where do you know that Stefanie? - Klaus asked.

- My father has tons of them, but he tells me that they are for bears and other animals because he often goes in the woods to kill them.

- Wow, how smart of Damon! He goes in the woods to kill vampires!- Klaus said.

- My father knows about them!- I said, shocked by my conclusion.

- And not just your father, your mother too. That's why she gave you that necklace Stefanie,- Elijah said pointing at my neck.

- But...

- It's a vervain necklace. It keeps you from our compulsion.- Elijah said.

- And we, The Originals, can't be killed with just a stake, love. You need a white oak stake to do that. But now, isn't anymore of it left. I burned all of it. But years ago, Damon found some and killed our brother!-Klaus said with anger in his eyes.

Whaatt?!- I said, surprised.

- Wait...so...you, vampires, drink blood, hear from kilometres away, and...why do you drink so much alcohol?

- It helps us keeping our blood pressure low.- Klaus said, like it was nothing- and we can compell every human and vampire to do whatever we say. But, other vampires can't do that, they can compell just humans.

- My necklace...yes...now I understand.- I said, proccesing...I don't know why, but I had a little fear, I mean a bloodsucker?

- Anything important left? -I said looking at Elijah, and getting up.

- No, nothing important left...actually there is something else, but you... should ask your parents about that.

- My parents?! Ok so then, I should go. They are waiting for me. Goodbye...- I said, tired, and shocked with all of that material in my head, and walking towards the door.

- Ok, see ya- Elijah said.

- See you love!

How could they not tell me? Something this important? And was was that "something" I should ask my parents about?

I was scared of them. What if they hurt me? Or, worse, my parents? No, I should stay as far away as possible from them.
