The Story of Kordelia Mikaelson [1] [editing]

Threats

"You need to lighten up. I'll bring you to them soon enough," Kordelia hears Klaus say as she travels the woods.

She speeds to his voice and stops in front of two out of four brothers. They both look surprised, but Niklaus's face quickly turns to anger.

"Do you know how hard it was to find you?" she breathes out.

"What kind of sick joke is this?" he questions her with pure anger.

"It is me, Niklaus. I can assure you, this is not a joke," she explains, but her brother is not convinced.

"Kordelia is dead. Go back to where you came from," Klaus tells her and starts to walk off. His sister's face holds a mask of hurt as he walks off.

"Wait, Niklaus," Elijah tells him, causing his brother to turn back and look at them. "If you really are my sister... What did I call you when I was too young to say Kordelia?"

"Kora," she tells him.

"Yes," he nods, "and did it stick with the whole family, or was it only I that called you Kora?"

"It stuck with the whole family. Enough games, Elijah," she sighs.

"One more. Name our siblings from eldest to youngest," he demands.

"Finn, me, you, Niklaus, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik, who is deceased," she stated in a 'duh' tone.

"Need anymore proof, Niklaus? Or may I hug our sister now?" Elijah asks, looking back at his brother.

"You may," he says and speed up to Elijah's side.

They both hug Kordelia with wide smiles, but are still slightly confused.

"How are you alive?" Elijah asks after they break the hug.

"I-I don't know. Mother, she said something about me returning, but I didn't exactly know what she meant until I woke up in this stupid vampire's house," explained Kordelia

"You saw Mother?" He questioned.

"Yes and she wouldn't help me," she sighed, mostly saying the last part to herself as she looked to the ground.

"Help you?" Niklaus piped up.

"I was in pain Nik and Mother did no such thing to help," she told him, looking up into his eyes.

"What sort of pain?" The older one of the two men asked.

"At first it was like someone tore out my heart, then there was a stake in my back and heart, and after that, I felt like my life was being drained out of me and I collapsed," she looked up at Elijah's shocked face, mouth slightly apart, and Niklaus' guilty face, looking to the ground.

"You said you woke up at some vampire's house?" Elijah asked after a moment or two of silence.

"Yes," she sighed, "his name is Damon. His little brother Stefan was there too."

"What did they do to you?" Klaus growled as anger washed over his face, fitting perfectly like it had many times before.

"They, cracked my neck. After waking up, I realized I've been held hostage in a cellar," she explains with a grimace. "I did escape, although, and Damon got his payback. I'm still waiting to get revenge on the little one."

"Payback," Niklaus stated looking up at her. "What did you do?"

"Well," and she quickly explained her little scheme.

"That's my girl," the younger brother complemented with a smirk. "Now, lets get back to that drowsy apartment, shall we?"

They all filed out of the woods and back to the apartment. Niklaus walked in the middle of his two older siblings, almost as if he were leader and no one could deny that he was.
