《Kindred Spirits》Chapter 9
Advertisement
After everything that went wrong last night, they went to the hotel mainly for Zola, to get some sleep.
But now, Rebekah wanted to change and get some change of clothing.
"There has to be more to this dress." Rebekah states, astoundly.
"There's not, dear sister" Elijah says, drinking champagne along with Klaus and Stefan. Zola had gotten pushed into a dressing room to try some things out Rebekah had picked out for her.
Rebekah gets out of the fitting room to see herself and show the men in the store, well more like Stefan.
"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then. You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers."
"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing." Klaus says sarcastically.
"And what is this music? It sounds like a cable car accident." Rebekah asks
"It's dance music."
"People dance to this?"
They all nodded, and Klaus groaned "Are we done?"
"And why are you so grumpy?" Rebekah questions, trying to make fun of her brother.
"I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying, one thing. Your necklace. And you lost it." Klaus grumpily says, hating that his plans are somewhat ruined.
"I didn't lose it. It's just been missing for 90 years." Rebekah says, trying to ease the situation a little.
Meanwhile in the fitting room, Zola was trying on a nice summer dress Beks had picked out for her, but she didn't know if it suited her well.
"Zo, you are taking forever in there. Do you need help" Rebekah asked
"No"
"Then come out"
"I'm coming, I'm coming" Zola muttered, stepping out of the fitting room, only for Elijah and Klaus freeze upon seeing her. She also sees that Stefan wasn't anywhere in sight.
Zola looks at their reaction, and starts to feel insecure.
"Is it bad?"
"Bad? Zo you look awesome" Rebekah cheerfully says, going back into the fitting room to change into a different outfit.
"Sooo"
Klaus and Elijah finally snapped out of it, vamp-speeding to her.
"Love you look wonderful"
"Absolutely gorgeous"
Zola blushes while Klaus and Elijah kiss her cheek at the same time.
She kisses both of them on the cheek, and turns around to change, but Klaus stops her.

"Where are you going, love?"
"To change out of this"
"Leave it on Elskan"
Zola nods, and waits for Rebekah to come out.
Once Rebekah was able to find an outfit she liked, they headed to Gloria's bar to see if she could find the necklace.
Stefan walks into the bar to see Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, and Zola at the bar. Zola is eating and he also notices Gloria doing something.
"You left us." Rebekah pouts, stealing bacon from Zola's plate. "Hey get your own"
"Yeah, sorry. Retail therapy was making my head explode."
"Tell me about it." Klaus grumbles, but Zola hits his arm. Klaus just rolls his eyes, and puts his arm on the back of her chair.
"What's she doing?" Stefan points to Gloria.
"She's failing."
"It's hard to find something when you don't have anything to go on." Gloria snaps back at Klaus.
"So use Beks, she wore for like centuries, right?" Zola tries to say but with food in her mouth.
"Elskan" Elijah scolds, cleaning her mouth with a napkin. "Sorry"
"See? Now that one offers a solution." Gloria points to Zola, as well as waving Rebekah over to her. "All right, give me your hand, sweetheart."
Rebekah hands her hand, and Gloria goes right into it, doing the spell over again.
"She's, uh, she's looking for the necklace, huh?" Stefan asks Klaus, and he nods. Zola once again notices that Stefan is acting weird. What is he hiding? Zola thought
"I found it." Gloria gasped, looking over to them
"So where is it?" Elijah asks
"It doesn't work like that. I get images. There's a girl with her friends" Gloria explains to them what she saw.
"Yes, a dead girl with dead friends, if I don't get my necklace back." Rebekah snaps, aggravated
"Well, I'll have to dive back in to get the details." Gloria states
"So dive." Klaus demands
"I need more time, and space. You're harshing my ju-ju" Gloria says after Klaus stands closer to her.
"We can wait." Klaus says
"I'm sure you can. But that's not what I asked." Gloria says back matching his intensity.
"Nikki, give her space" Zola says, finishing her food.
"Hey. Hey, you know, why don't we just come back later. I'm hungry anyway. I'll let you pick who we eat." Stefan tries to persuade them all, and it works.

They make their way to the warehouse after picking some girls up to feed on. Zola sits in between Klaus and Elijah, trying to block out what they're doing by listening to music on Elijah's phone.
"My girl's dead. I'm bored." Rebekah whines.
Klaus stops feeding, looking at Stefan
"You weren't kidding about being hungry."
" Yeah. It's been a long day." Stefan says, annoyed.
"Try being related to her." Klaus jokes, knowing he won't get hit because his mate is preoccupied.
"Niklaus" Elijah scolds him, dropping the body on the floor away from Zola's view.
"You're being mean." Rebekah whines, and she looks at Stefan, pouting "And why are you being mean? You used to love me."
"It's been ninety years, Rebekah. Give him a minute." Klaus mocks her but Rebekah just pouts and glares at him. "Why are you taking his side?"
"Because, my dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you what you want."
"Will you stop making me out to be a brat? I am not a brat! Zola!" Rebekah throws her shoe at her, to get her attention. She shockingly looks up and sees Beks staring at her.
"Rebekah was that necessary" Elijah says, rubbing the spot the shoe hit her.
"Are you okay Beks?"
"They're bullying me, make them stop"
"Knock it off Nikki, she is your sister"
"Plus, you're no picnic, either. I mean, I've only spent one summer with you and I feel like I want to blow my head off." Stefan says, making fun of Klaus.
"You guys are children" Zola says, walking over to Rebekah, handing her shoe back to her.
Rebekah laughs, grabbing hold of Zola's arm.
"I need to go." Stefan says, walking away
"Where is he going?" Rebekah muttered to Zola
Zola sighs "Long story"
After realizing the dead bodies were making Zola uncomfortable, Elijah and Klaus took the bodies away, cleaning their mess and then went to check up on their witch while Rebekah and Zola stayed at the warehouse.
"So my brothers huh?" Rebekah asks, wiggling her eyebrows.
"What?" Zola blushes
"You know what. Tell me everything"
"There isn't much. I met Elijah first and then he came to my house with Klaus. They explain everything to me, and I mean everything to me. And they took me on this trip with them"
"You are being vague with the details." Rebekah glares at Zola, and she sighs
"I don't love them if that's what you asking"
Rebekah just raises her eyebrow
"Okay, I think I might be falling in love with them but everything is going really quick"
"That's because you guys are meant to be together. You'll be fine, plus with how I see everything. You have them wrapped around your little perfect fingers"
Zola laughs, knowing she does. Klaus wouldn't let just anyone hit him. That person would be dead in seconds
"So they told you everything?"
Zola nods, not understanding where this is going.
"Even about Klaus killing mother and our father chasing us for decades"
"Yeah, they wanted to be upfront with me."
Rebekah goes to say something but she looks behind Zola and sees Stefan
"You're back"
"Yeah, I am"
Rebekah elbows Zola, silently telling her to leave them alone. And she gets the message.
"Right well Imma go use the bathroom" Zola leaves, not knowing what she is coming back to.
Zola gets back, shaking her hands in the air to try to dry them, and she looks up to see Klaus throwing Stefan's body in a van while Elijah packs away their suitcases in the car.
"Are we leaving? And what happened to Stefan?" Zola asks out loud, confused. Klaus turns around and rushes to her.
"Niklaus!" Elijah growls
"Lijah, she is my mate as well. I won't hurt her" Klaus says, gently grabbing Zola on each side of her head which makes her grow tense. "Love, I need you to think. What could Stefan be hiding?"
"I..i don't know" Zola stutters out.
"He didn't tell you anything?" Klaus asks softly, not liking that he is scaring his mate.
Zola shakes her head to which he lets her go
"I'm sorry love, I didn't mean to scare you. He is hiding something from me, and I think I know what it is or where it is"
"It's okay. Stefan has been acting tenses or just weird in general ever since we left Tennessee" Zola states, after hugging Klaus trying to calm him and herself down.
"Yes, I now see that. And I have an idea where that thing could be" Klaus states, walking to the car to help Zola in. "We are going back to Mystic Falls"
Just what she needed.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
