"Jeremy" I frowned when I saw all of Elena's friends in the forest as well. Just standing around waiting for something

What is going on with them?

Why are they all here?

"Hey" Jeremy sighed walking forward but stopped when he got about a meter away

"What's wrong with Alaric?" I asked getting straight to the point

"He's.. dying" he whispers

And he sounded hurt

But none of this explains why we're in the forest and not at the hospital getting him the treatment he needs

If Jeremy really cared

Wouldn't he take him there?

"W-what? Then why isn't he at the hospital?"

"It's not like that Andrea. There's nothing they can do for him"

"You're really gonna lie to me right now?" I ask. He goes to say something but I stop him

"Just- where is he?"

"He's in the memorial, we've all said goodbye" I walked past him without another word and into the memorial where Alaric was standing already waiting for me

"You can't die" he looks at me and sighs sadly

"No alaric, you can't die." I state

"There's nothing I can do"

"Please, please don't leave me here. I can't do this without you Alaric. First Jenna now you" I shake my head

"I can't" he walks forward and hugs me

"Please Alaric. I'm begging you"

"I have to" he mumbles holding me tighter

"No" I sob

"No you don't! You have to stay! Please! Stay" he sighs and rubs my back trying desperately to stop my crying and struggles against him

"You can't this this! Please I'll do anything! Everyone's dying and I- I can't take it anymore!"

"This is how it has to be Andrea. I love you, and your a great little girl okay? No matter what happened to you. Keep your head up"

"I love you" I sob

"So much"

"It was amazing having you around, like a child I never had"

"You did" I cried harder

"You and Jenna are my parents, you are. Not them"

"Andrea" he whispered

"Well then It was an honour to be your father"

"Andrea" Jeremy says walking in and up to me. He pulls me into his arms, from Alaric's allowing me to cry. He led me outside and once we were away from Alaric so he couldn't hear or see us I pulled away and wiped my eyes

"Andrea-"

"I'm gonna go. I-I can't stay here"

"Where are you going?"

"To klaus'"

"Andrea" he started but I didn't let hun get anywhere with it

"You don't think I know that you, Elena and her friends haven't been lying to my face for over a year?" His eyes widen in shock

"Don-"

"No, please let me go. Because while you was gone, and Elena was ignoring me like always, he was there. He was there and you weren't. So please Jeremy. Let me go and see him" I whispered and he nodded knowing I would have gone anyways and it would have just ended it in an argument

Which neither of us want

"Thank you"

When I finally got to klaus' place I knocked on his door, my arm covering my body, shielding myself from the cold wind

"Love?" Klaus said opening the door. I looked up at him and he frowned noticing the horrible state I'm in

My eyes are red

My cheeks are puffy

I have eye bags

Everywhere around my eyes are covered in red splotches

And overall I looked a mess

"What happened?" But he didn't give me a chance to answer as he already pulled me into his chest and started murmuring sweet things into my ears

"Alaric is dead. The- the only parent I had left... is gone" I sobbed into his chest

"I'm so sorry love" he lifts me up so my legs are around his waist and walks us into his sitting room and onto the couch still not releasing his hold on my and if anything holding me tighter

"It's okay love. Let it out, let it out"

—

Once I finally calmed down enough to talk or even breath properly I moved my head away from his chest and wiped my eyes trying to get rid of any traces of my unhappiness, ignoring the fact klaus has already seen me like this

"I'm sorry" I mumbled but he just shook his head dismissing me like I just said the most irrational thing

"Don't be, I don't have to tell you what I was going to if you want"

"No" I mumbled

I came here for him to tell me what he needed to, and that's what's going to happen

"It's okay, you can tell me"

"I'm going to start from the beginning. When I was human"

-

"aunt Jenna" I mumbled looking up at him

"Andrea-"

"You killed aunt Jenna" I mumbled again feeling anger bubble in me

"Love you've got to listen to me. I didn't know you existed. Elena made sure to keep you out of it. If I knew you were related before i wouldn't have gone near her. I wouldn't do that to you, you mean so much to me" his words wasn't making sense, but they were at the same time because I knew with every part of me that klaus would never to anything to intentionally hurt me and he's shown me that from how he's always been there. No matter what it was.

I sniffled nodding still trying to process everything.

The amount of information I had been fed in the past 30 minutes was more than i could have ever imagined but I couldn't help but feel bad for him, even his siblings

No matter what the monster they are seen as none of them chose to be this way, and klaus especially didn't choose to have to run from his father who's been after him for thousands of years

"And Alaric's gone because your mum is trying to kill your family and used Alaric to become a very powerful hunter so you and all vampires across the world become extinct. But he didn't want to it so he chose to die?" he nods

"And your.. a vampire?" He squints his eyes and nods slightly before expanding again

"I'm a hybrid, a vampire and werewolf. But all my siblings are vampires, including Stefan, Damon, Caroline, Tyler. Well Tyler's a hybrid like me"

"And you need Elena's blood so you can create more?" I questioned trying to get my head wrapped around everything

"Yes"

"But why? Why do you want them?"

"I guess at first I did it because I was lonely. I wanted people who I could call family and then I met you" I smile slightly burying my face into his neck

"You and Rebekah are all the family I need"

"But I still need more hybrids because there's Hunters all over the world and it would be good protection"

"She lied to me" I muttered thinking about how Elena has walked past me every day since she met Stefan and has blatantly lied to my face , no matter what she thought she was doing by lying it doesn't stop the fact that she's put me in dangers way all this time

But the thing is, is that i wouldn't have minded

I would've supported her decision to Persue things with Stefan and Damon no matter the harm it out on me for being so close to vampires

But she allowed me to instead walk around mystic falls, passing people everyday that could be vampires that can rip my head off any second, and allowed me to be oblivious to the fact I could die at any moment

Just because she wanted to 'protect me' by not saying anything

"She lied to me all this time. I get it was to protect me, but it hurts."

"I'm sorry love"

"I'm sorry too" Rebekah says walking in

"Glad you could finally join us" klaus rolls his eyes

"Yes well I was just daggered so cut me some slack."

"I'm sorry about Alaric. He seemed like a nice guy" I frown at her words but give her a small smile thankful for her words that have been said to me many times about my parents and aunt Jenna but everyone else's apologies seemed fake compared to hers

"He was. Thank you"

"I got to get ready. I'll see you Andrea" Rebekah said leaving the house

"Bye" I mumbled and leaned my head on his shoulder

"You can go sleep" he said running his hands through my hair.

"I know this is a lot to process right now" my eyes slowly close and my hold on klaus gets looser as I fall asleep

How does he get me to fall asleep so easily by just being here

—-

I woke up on the couch by myself and looked over to see a note on the table beside me

Love

I couldn't find it in me to wake you up because of how beautiful and peaceful you looked, but we have to go. I just need some blood from your sister and then I'll be off. If your awake by midday there's still a chance I'll be at yours so you can come and see me before I go. (There's some clothes beside the bed, spare toothbrush in the bathroom)

But if you woke up late, then message me, and remember your always welcome to come to this house even when I'm not here. There's a key in your jacket pocket

It's your home now too

Klaus

I smiled at his nice words but felt a little bad he wanted to get blood off Elena. I checked and the time noticing it's 11:30 and quickly put on the clothes that klaus put beside me and brushed my teeth before leaving

—

I walked up to my house and saw klaus standing outside with Stefan

"Klaus" I smile wrapping my arms around him

"Hello love"

"I thought you was getting the blood?" Stefan looked to me confused

"You know?" I nodded

"I would've preferred if Elena or Jeremy told me cause they were the reason the secrets been kept this long but it's okay"

"Elena's not here" Stefan states

"Well let's go find her" I go to walk but klaus pulls me back into his chest. I giggle holding onto his arms and he smiles tightening his hold to keep me close to him

"Yeah well that's the thing" Stefan says ignoring us

"Alaric has her and Caroline. He's gonna kill them both unless klaus turn himself over to him"

"A-Alaric?" I ask, me and klaus looking to each other momentarily

Stefan: "But it's not him. It's the vampire Hunter him" I frown, all hopes of having him back gone

"But you cant just hand yourself over" I say turning to klaus

Stefan: "We couldn't anyways. If Alaric kills him there's a 1 in 4 chance we die too"

"I'll take those odds" damon says walking out the house with wood above his shoulder

"Then there's a 100% chance Tyler dies"

"I can live with that too" I look to klaus scared he might actually walk into this trap that could end him easily

"Your not going to do that are you?" He smiled but shook his head once he realised I was actually worried he would do it

"No love, I wouldn't. We just need to figure out a way to put Alaric down"

The words hurt me but I had to remind myself it wasn't Alaric anymore

It was the vampire Hunter that had no Alaric mindset in him, that would even go as far as to harm Elena

The Alaric I used to know would never even think of such a thing let alone act on it

—

"I've got it. How about Damon sneaks in and distracts Alaric.. while Stefan grabs Elena and carries her to safety" klaus explains but there was some holes in his plan

"That's putting Damon in risk" I speak up

"And Caroline's in there too" klaus walks towards me and hugs me, pressing his face in my neck. His breath tickling me, I giggle squirming

"I can live with that" he mumbles

"No, that's not fair. You have to think of something else" he sent me a playful side glare and put his face back on my neck

"I might have an idea" bonnie says walking out

"My mum used a desiccation spell on mikael that immobilised him for over 15 years. If I get it, I might be able to use it"

"Wait" I turned to klaus

"Your dads name is mikael?" He nodded and I covered my mouth

"That's why your called Mikaelson? This is amazing" I smiled

"So why isn't Rebekah mikaeldaughter?" Bonnie laughed covering her mouth

"Actually love, mikeals' dads name was also Mikael so Mikaels surname became mikaelson which he then passed on to us"

"Amazing" I muttered. He looked down at me with a smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling before he turned back to Bonnie

"'If' and 'might'. Your words inspire such confidence" klaus says walking closer to bonnie

But really and truthfully her plan was amazing compared to his

"Her plan was better than yours" I mumble with a smile and he raises his eyebrows in amusement

"But even with the spell, we'll need a lot of vampire muscle to take him down. Including yours" I pick up klaus' arm and drop it wondering where this muscle she speaks of is

"Eh" I mumble.

"You know what Rea?" he speeds over to me and picks me up before spinning me around

"Hey!" I giggle, he slows down and places me back on the floor

"That's not fair" I mumble closing and opening my eyes to stop the dizziness

"Lucky I don't play fair then"
