I FOUND IT
A while ago I was looking for a specific fanfiction about a female Harry Potter and Cedric and someone had commented that they had wanted to read it as well. It’s a cute little story.
It’s called Returned from War (Victorious) by Ellroy. ( in the tags they mentioned that they did not want their work to be reposted anywhere so I can’t add a link I think).
I do not own this and the person who did write this is awesome 🤩
Immortal Dilemmas
*Stefan Salvatore *
The last two and half months have been…eventful for Stefan. He made good on telling Rebekah his good news and it was met with mixed emotions. She had an infatuation with Matt Donavan but she was only woken up from being daggered a month prior. She was initially jealous and had lashed out a bit when she heard it. While attacking him her anger had became sorrow. All her life she had wished that she could find her one love and then she had heard about mating. A bond that meant to love the other through thick and thin, never to truly be away from one another. It was what she always wanted after learning about it and she had tried so hard to find it in multiple men over the last millennium. Her last attempt had been Stefan then she was daggered and put to sleep for over eighty years.
To hear that he moved on hurt, then everything else had happened and his humanity was turned off, she knew that side of his very well but he was always by her brother never giving her a chance to rekindle what they had. She went out one night to get her mind off everything and flirt with her newest crush, Matt. When she came back to the mansion she was met with a Stefan with his humanity intact and she noticed something different about him. Once she realized what it was she reacted violently, she threw him across the room. They could hear Klaus laughing in the background and after a an hour of Stefan being treated like a rag doll had the males noticed that she had tears on her face, and a sad smile.
“I suppose I wasn’t it for you, was I Stefan? What I had been trying to have for over a thousand years you were able to achieve. I’m happy for you but…I wish for more than anything to just have someone to share the rest of my immortality with!”, she had gone to the ground crying and Klaus had sped towards her and started comforting her. He had always picked fun of her for her failed romances but he knew that in this wasn’t a good time to do so, his sister is too vulnerable to make a joke. Klaus was right about her being jealous but it was more towards him experiencing and having the bond. Since then they became close but it was more of a brother and sister bond. She teases him over being head over heels for Hailey when he had tried to explain more in depth what the bond felt like. In all honesty, Rebekah was grateful to Stefan for sharing something so intimate with her. With that problem dealt with now all he had to worry about is his brother and the rest of the gang. They have become very suspicious and even more into his business once summer had started. They had seen Stefan looking friendly with the Original brother and sister and they didn’t like it one bit. Elena in particular didn’t like Rebekah being so chummy with Stefan. Damon didn’t like that Elena was still hanging off his brother while he was trying to get her to notice him more.
The gang was convinced that Klaus was still oblivious to Elena being human and they still thought that Stefan would never tell him as some part of him “will always protect Elena”. They were in quite a shock when Stefan had decided to finally get Klaus what he always wanted, doppelgänger blood. Stefan figures if he does this it will finally put it in Elena and Damon’s head that he wasn’t a damsel in distress and that it would help with Hailey in the long run. Stefan came up with the idea of forcing Elena’s hand, they needed a way to force Elena to be in debt to them and accept terms. The only way to do that: put her friends in danger. He had heard about senior prank night and decided that it would be a perfect setting. The gang would be in one place and with a certain teen werewolf, who would happen to die if the plan doesn’t go accordingly. Kidnap Tyler and Elena separately, give him Klaus’s blood, snap his neck, and tell Elena exactly what she would need to do in order for him to survive but she would need to agree to follow the terms that Klaus lays down. From seeing that her blood holds the key to all of Klaus’s dreams he is willing to make a deal, similar to what his older brother had once offered. He would let Elena live a full human life and not harm anyone important to her as long as every week he receives two pints of her blood for the rest of her life.
The plan was put to action and all went accordingly. What was better for them is that Klaus has taught him some mild control for human blood and unlocked a lot of memories. He had taught Stefan how to fight and come out on top when dealing with older vampires. He was a lot stronger now and could handle a vampire that was Katherine’s age easily. The plan went a lot smoother because of it and of course having Rebekah’s help. Klaus had posed as an adult catching them in the act, told everyone else to leave to prevent too many causalities. He knew that the gang would stay behind so he promptly put the humans of the gang to sleep with some sedatives he snagged from the hospital. Rebekah handled the vampires of the group by breaking their necks, which should give them a good hour to get things done. They had already gave Tyler Klaus’s blood and snapped his neck, Stefan had carried him in the school and ignoring Elena’s badgering and disappointed gazes…that still has that infuriating longing in them.
At that point he just wanted to shout out loud to the entire town that only one woman had his heart for the rest of eternity just for Elena to stop, but he needed to keep his ‘no humanity’ face on. He and Rebekah knew Elena would be infuriating to convince but at least she wasn’t stupid…unlike his brother. He could hear Klaus proposing the deal after Tyler had come back a hybrid and had his neck snapped once again just to have him out of commission, from outside the school from the roof. He and Rebekah were there just to keep an eye out for Damon and Alaric. She heard them before he could and gestured for Stefan to get ready, he already told Rebekah about Damon having a habit of very badly influencing Elena to do the dumbest things. It was better to catch them by surprise, quietly, and quickly. They jumped down and quickly snapped Damon’s neck and Stefan made sure that he saw Alaric wearing the Gilbert ring and snapped his neck as well. There wasn’t anymore possible outside interference so they both waited quietly outside and shared a smirk when they heard Elena very grudgingly and hesitantly agreeing to the deal. Klaus opened the doors in a flourish with a triumphant smirk, he turned around to face Elena with a still unconscious Tyler in the room when Stefan and Rebekah flanked him on both sides.
“Pleasure doing business with you, luv! We’re just going to head on out and don’t fret just keep up your end and you won’t have to worry about me delivering a horrible ending to your loved ones! Have a great night Ms.Gilbert!”, the trio walked away. Stefan could feel Elena just staring at him, but he refuses to look back. Looking back in her eyes would just give her hope that he could come back, but he’s never going back to her no matter how much she pines and begs for him to. He’s moved on from emotional manipulating doppelgängers to a beautiful emerald eye war goddess. He could hear Elena sniffles but he’ll leave it to his brother to comfort her, he just hopes that Damon won’t try something that’ll ruin the deal. The deal was that Klaus can’t hurt anyone Elena loves, it never mentions him or Rebekah. If Damon tries to cross Klaus, brother or not Stefan will make sure Damon is dealt with. He’ll do anything to ensure Hailey can have a safe future with him and Damon screwing up the deal messes with that plan, so Stefan will feel no remorse in…removing the threat to his bonded. The thought alone of his brother ruining is enough to boil his blood. After that Klaus took a box of Elena’s blood and sent off to find a pack that one of his witches notified him of. He came back with about 20 hybrids, all having a sire bond to Klaus similar to Tyler.
Originals and annoying drama aside, he was in a constant state of yearning. Klaus had looked into searching for Hailey but came up with nothing after a while. The only record of her lasted until she was eleven and then it was like she went off the grid. When he wasn’t preoccupied all Stefan could think about was her. Was she okay, was she safe, was she mad at him, and what is the deal with her records just stopping? He made so many scenarios in his head that Klaus had to tell him to calm down and grab a drink. Elena and Damon while trying to interrogate him assumed that he was just ignoring them, left in a huff. When he slept he often had dreams of her and his brain was coming up with such a strange story. In his dream he is often with her at the boarding house just snuggled on the couch when he moves his arm around her waist and feels that her stomach was bigger than what he remembered. His dream self is calm and looks to Hailey and she smiles and puts his hand on a particular spot and he feels a little thump against his hand.
Then he wakes up confused and sad, he doesn’t understand why he’s having that dream and he’s sad because he’ll never be able to give that to her. But his dreams don’t stop, he’s either feeling for a kick, listening for a heartbeat, talking to her stomach and laying kisses on it, or he’s just there with his arm around her with his hand resting on her baby bump. Then one day in his dream she no longer has a baby bump and they’re just on the couch, he’s so used to seeing her with one that he wants to ask so badly what had happened. Then he hears something that leaves him with a strange feeling, a baby crying. Hailey stands up, heading towards the direction of the cry and he’s about to follow her when he wakes up. What does it mean, why did he have a dream for so long about her being pregnant than for her to have had the baby? What was his subconscious trying to tell him?
He doesn’t know, the only thing he does know is that he’s worried out of his mind over not knowing where Hailey is and what she could be doing. He asked Klaus if the mating bond makes her miss him just as much as he misses her and Klaus responded that he didn’t know as Hailey was human. Everything about their bond is unheard of and new, Klaus doesn’t know how different the bond could be. It worries Stefan but it doesn’t wane his want to find her, it wasn’t enough for his vampire anymore after his last dream. His vampire demanded their mate back and no amount of being told her being safer away could quiet it. He was getting angrier and more anxious everyday that he goes without seeing her, Klaus send him out as he was afraid Stefan would rip off a few of his hybrid’s heads. He didn’t want to deal with his brother so he’s been in the Mikaelson mansion, he finds it strange that the closer he was getting to town the more his anger was waning. Then he felt a pull, his vampire took over and he was left viewing everything as if it was a dream. The pull lead him to town square and it was then he finally snapped out of his daze.
He looked ahead and he had to wonder if he was dreaming again. Under a tree, sitting on a bench was Hailey Potter. She wasn’t alone as she had two babies in a baby wrap carrier on her chest. Two babies…that scents make Stefan dumbfounded, they had Hailey’s scent to prove them as her offspring! Stefan didn’t know how to feel as a whirlwind of emotions slammed into him. How was this happening, it shouldn’t be possible?! Stefan knows for a fact that he was her first, her scent when the first met was completely pure! He could catch her scent from where he was, what he smelled from her elated him but just made him more confused. She smelled as she did before: floral fragrances with roses being the main scent…but he could also smell himself on her.
The babies she’s holding could be a day old from how fresh they smelled. The babies were her’s, scents don’t lie. But it didn’t make sense! He had been her first, it’s been only two and a half months since he seen her, and he definitely would have noticed if she was pregnant when they were together! A small part of his brain had made itself known when he thought of the possibility of them being his. It couldn’t be possible…could it? Vampires have been having sex with humans for generations and there has never been a case of a vampire procreating! But then again…Klaus did say that there has never been a case of a human-vampire mating bond, what exactly can he consider possible for them? He needed answers and his vampire was tired of waiting to have contact with their mate. He was about to move towards her when he saw something that made his stomach wrench in fury. Why the hell was his brother going towards Hailey?!
Chapter 7
Immortal Dilemmas
*Stefan Salvatore*
“Well, first thing we need to do is-“, Stefan wanted to listen to what Klaus was saying but his thoughts were running wild. He just had an epiphany with the hybrid, he trusted Klaus enough to tell him about Hailey, and Klaus had just sworn on his FAMILY name that he would help Stefan. Family is everything to the Originals, the fact that Klaus was swearing on his name made it bluntly obvious that he truly does see Stefan as family. The only thing Klaus ever wanted was to not be alone, to for once not be left out for something he couldn’t control. He had to tell him about Elena, Klaus may react violently but he deserves to know that the answer to his dreams was still alive with human blood coursing through her veins. Klaus swore to protect Hailey, the girl that Stefan loved to the ends of earth and would gladly go through hell for, despite only being able to spend a night with her, he knew that she was his and he was hers. This is the least that he could do for Klaus. Good or bad reaction it’s going to end in one of his brothers, biological or not, throwing a hissy fit.
“-and we’ll likely need to find your mate to make sure she’s guarded but I don’t think normal vampires are going to cut-“, at the mention of needing something stronger than an average vampire Stefan gathered it was better to say it now.
“About that…Klaus there is something I need to tell you…”, he tried finding the proper wording but how can he put it gently that Elena’s real father had decided to exchange his life for hers and as consequence she is still alive and human, capable to be of use to Klaus?
“SHE’S WHAT?!??”, Klaus had said suddenly. Did he just say that out loud?
“Yes! Stefan, you did!”, he gulped as his throat had suddenly ran dry but he refused to look away from Klaus’s eyes. What felt like a thousand years to Stefan ,in reality was only thirty seconds, Klaus’s thunderous and gobsmacked expression quickly melted into a devilish grin. Stefan knew that look and it did not bode well. Klaus’s siblings feared it as it was a sign that he was going to cause chaos and embarrassment for whoever wronged him.
“Klaus I’m sorry, I really am but at the time-“, Stefan was caught off by Klaus’s delightful yet bone chilling laugh. Oh deities above, Stefan was in for it!
“Oh Stefan my sweet baby brother, I’m not angry, I’m just…disappointed”, Klaus said in a faux parental stern tone and trailed off with a sigh. Klaus had officially entered his brooding (pouting) mood, in which at every conversation he is going to have he is likely to rant. And in those rants he will reveal an embarrassing event that Stefan had done or an embarrassing fact about Stefan. Stefan winced, there was only one way to get Klaus out of that mood and it was to do whatever Klaus needed to be done but doesn’t want to do himself. He had to do whatever it is, he needed to uphold his reputation as the Original Hybrid right hand ripper. People aren’t going to take him seriously about him and Klaus being as close as family if whatever dirt Klaus has on him gets out. He’s a forever seventeen year old, he’s done a lot of stupid stuff…especially in the 20’s with Klaus’s influence.
“Klaus…please. You name it and I’ll get it done, just please!”, Stefan begged with his puppy eyes, Klaus figured the task he was going to assign Stefan shouldn’t be too terrible but it will definitely teach him a lesson to not withhold important information from family.
“Alright Stefan, I’ll forgive and forget as long…as your the one to tell my sister about recent developments as soon as she comes home!”, while Rebekah was infatuated with a human named Matt Donavan currently, she also has had a tendency to not let go of the past and be very jealous. Stefan who had recently gained his memories knew this and groaned. He knew it was going to be hard but hopefully after telling Rebekah, Klaus will have pity and restrain her until she can calm down…somewhat. He nodded solemnly and looked like a kicked puppy.
“Now while you figure out what to say, I’ll contact one of my witches and get you a new ring. Rebekah is likely to stay out until tomorrow and by then you’ll definitely need that ring.”,Klaus said with a chuckle. Stefan let out his own sarcastic laugh and quickly sped to Klaus’s liquor cabinet to pour himself something strong.
“Just think of Hailey.”, he muttered to himself. Hailey was the only thing he could think of that could possibly make him happy in this situation. No doubt as soon as he said it his thoughts were flooded with her emerald green eyes and her midnight black hair. Memories of their time together ,whether talking or being intimate, flashed across his mind. An instant goofy smile came to him. Off to the side Klaus had heard Stefan and witnessed his mood changed. He sighed with an exasperated grin, the strong bond between his brother and that girl was stronger than anything he has sensed. If something happens to her and Stefan senses it, then there would be a strong possibility of seeing a feral ripper. Absolutely nothing short of death would be able to stop the carnage until the origin of what caused Hailey pain was destroyed. Hopefully, he can help in keeping her safe enough that Stefan doesn’t loose his mind and that Stefan and her could remain happy together.
Immortal Dilemmas
The Mikaelson’s never claimed to be kind and merciful vampires, on many occasions they have claimed to be the exact opposite. But what no one can deny is their loyalty and devotion to those they claim as family. They have their differences and feuds, but no one could deny the bonds in the family. With Stefan being accepted in to the family along with his wife and sons, that loyalty and devotion is extended to them and returned. Damon, however, had failed in seeing that. He thought at worst his brother would try to hurt him but ultimately forgive him later as always and for Klaus to show fake sympathy. He never expected for him to end up in the dark and damp dungeons under the mansion. He’s lost track of how long he’s been there.
Klaus, as agreed, has had no hand in Damon’s punishment and torture but Stefan and Rebekah had been very hands on. Rebekah had started by removing vital organs other than his heart and head from his body and making him crawl across the room to retrieve them. He was given barely enough blood to access his healing, what would have taken an hour to heal took him a day. That was the first week of his stay. Then his dear little brother came down, that ungrateful bratty brother of his had decided a very painful tactic. He was pinned to the wall by bear traps and still had open wounds from ‘Sexy Bex’ when his brother had decided that he was filthy. So slowly Stefan, with rubber gloves on to prevent himself from being harmed, cleaned the wounds and blood from his brother with water laced with vervain.
Ron and Hermione were enraged for their sister and nephews/godsons. It was decided that they would be the ones to teach Damon on their family’s behalf. They hadn’t used the Unforgivable Curses but had used some…not so kind spells after finding them in the Black family books. After the war they had adapted a grey morality, none of the trio had came out of it without blood on their hands. Ron had learned that it didn’t take a complicated spell in order to cause harm, especially to cause harm to a vampire. Ron had ignored the snarling from the bear trapped Damon and stabbed his wand through his forearm that caused Damon to grunt in pain. He then chanted, “Lumos Solem.”, and barely flinched when Damon started screaming his lungs out. The spell caused sunlight to be released out of the wand in a flash. It was enough to burn a medium sized hole and Ron proceeded to do so to each of Damon’s limbs. When finished Damon’s throat was hoarse and had tears running freely , “That was for making my godsons cry and hurting their poor throats. I thought best to just repay the favor.”, he ended with a smirk.
He would let Damon sit in a puddle of his own blood before leaving and healing him the next day, no blood required so no need to feed. Damon would beg for some but it fell to deaf ears. That was the routine for about three days before Hermione decided to be the final punisher for the remainder of Damon’s sentence. Damon kept obnoxiously flirting with her yet demeaning her at the same time. She learned a spell that had been used by death eaters quite frequently. Vampires enjoyed taking blood so much, how would one feel if theirs was practically drained out? “Sanguis Coquite.”, Damon had gone red and thrashed around as he felt the blood in his veins start to sizzle. It only stopped when he was on the brink of passing out, “I believe this would suffice in teaching you to never try and drain my sister. You try again and I’ll see to it that the last thing you feel is your blood evaporating from your body.”, she said as she snarled and violently gripped Damon’s face with her hand.
Klaus had decided to release him after three weeks. Three weeks of being tortured by vampires, a wizard, and a witch. I’m the whole time that Mystic Falls had known Damon Salvatore, it had never seen him so quiet after he had reappeared. The gang was worried about him just plopping down own the couch with an entire case of bourbon after he got out. He snapped at anyone that questioned what they did to him. He didn’t want them to know that in desperation he had begged…and cried. It took a week before he was back to his normal self but still flinched at the sight of the Potters.
During his confinement Elena had not been successful in getting help and on her own she couldn’t accomplish much. She threatened breaking the deal with Klaus but he coolly responded, “If that is what you so desire Miss Gilbert but be aware that breaking the deal will lead to me personally having access to do as I please to gain your blood.” She went white at the veiled threat. She thought briefly on how her loved ones could be affected and threw it away and thought on what matters the most to her. Herself, every doppelgänger has shown that all they care for is self preservation and getting what they want. She is no different and in a way similar to Katherine by setting a mask to hide her true self. Klaus had told her before that he could just put her in a coma and use her, she wasn’t about to risk that.
No one from the gang was willing to risk hybrid fury by trying to break into the mansion. After Elena described the abilities of the new residents while intrigued Bonnie still refused. Elena blamed Caroline for this. Ever since Caroline’s little rant everyone had stopped catering to her. She openly held a glare towards the Potter family and as such had started gossip in the small town. If anything it made Elena even more upset because it was giving more attention to Potter and her brats. But that was all she was allowed to do but if she so much as tried to purposely cough in their direction she would pay for it. It was needless to say the gang was restless. The humans of the group were done dealing with Elena shaped problems and dying then coming back to life with weird side effects.
Caroline was a traitor in Elena’s eyes, she had left when she was really needed. Caroline was tentatively talking more to Klaus and made it known to Stefan that she was trying to cut Elena out of her life. Stefan was happy for her. Klaus was ecstatic to get closer to the baby vamp. Everyone was hesitant but they gave Caroline the benefit of doubt. She and Tyler became close friends again but they wouldn’t pursue a relationship. She got to know the Potters a bit more and couldn’t believe Elena was spewing acid about such nice people.
In the meanwhile during Damon’s punishment the new residents of Mystic Falls have finally made themselves at home. Their house was feeling closer to home. The boys were growing beautifully and developing at a accelerated (to these parents any sign of the boys growing would be too fast) rate. Stefan and Hailey have had so much fun with their boys simply with tummy time and shaking rattles to see their adorable expressions. The only down part was when he went to the boarding house to pick the last few things he had gotten another earful from Elena. That day it was finally headed towards the cooler months. School would start in less than a month. She was still on the ropes about joining Ron and Hermione in muggle school. She wanted to be with Stefan but she didn’t want to leave Cedar and Caelan at home.
Stefan said whatever decision she would come to he would follow. If she wanted to go, he’ll be there walking her to classes and driving her home. If she wanted to stay home he would drop out and stay home with her to help with the boys. They would discuss it at length later. Hailey was wearing a black long sleeve, red plaid skirt (which if walked in a certain way drove Stefan insane), sheer leggings, and her combat boots. Stefan was wearing his dark grey leather jacket, a white shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. Cedar was in a black onesie with sleeves that had a magicians wand on it and he had red gloves and baby booties on. Caelan was in a red onesie that read ‘I BITE’ on it, it had sleeves and he had black gloves and baby booties on.
Hailey came with him as she trusted Elena as far as she could throw her with a pinky finger. He asked her to stay in the car with the boys but she got a feeling something was wrong and was proven right when she heard Stefan snarl. What is wrong with that girl?!
Why Elena was there he wouldn’t know, until he went into his room and was assaulted with the smell of her invading his once personal space. “Elena what the hell where you doing in my room?!”, he went to his closet and drawers and found that the majority of the clothes he had left were practically drenched in Elena’s overly candy sweet scent. She opened her mouth to answer but Stefan had spoke again,”Why the hell were you wearing my clothes!?” At this point she was in tears as Stefan looked at her is disbelief. Why couldn’t Stefan see that they were supposed to be together, with her not some witch?!?
“I missed you! Okay, Stefan I just missed you, Damons been here but then you took him away. And it doesn’t help that my heart always went back to-“ she was interrupted when Stefan had snarled at her. She tried to step closer and put her hand on his face but he sped away from her to the other side of the room. How dare she!?
“Elena! Get this through your head okay?! I don’t love you! I’m married! I have children! I love Hailey Potter-Salvatore! Give Damon your heart for all I care just leave me out of it! We’re done Elena we’ve been done for over a year!”, Hailey had came in with boys in her arms to see what was happening. Seeing her husband in a defensive position on the other side of the room was enough to tell her that once again Miss Gilbert was creating a problem. Hailey caught her husbands attention and he sped towards her and wrapped his arms around his family. He took comfort at the boys calm breathing and Hailey’s scent. She wordlessly handed him the boys after he calmed down enough. She turned to the doppelgänger and wasn’t surprised to see her fuming like a child that was told she wasn’t allowed to play with her old favorite toy.
“Now, Gilbert, I do believe I have warned you about staying away from my husband-“, she was interrupted when Elena stomped her foot. Like an actual child.
“Stefan should be with me! You trapped him. You-you- You Freak!”, and just like that it seems as if Hailey had shrunk in on herself and flinched away. Stefan had growled and passed the children back to her. Hailey looked up confused until Stefan had sped to Elena and had a hand around her throat. Elena was trying to push his hand off to no avail.
“I will not condone anyone badmouthing MY MATE AND WIFE! Especially you! If you ever do so again I will remove your heart and shove it down Damon’s throat! Do I make myself clear?”, he said calmly as if he was just asking her if she could pass a beverage. She nodded and she dropped to the floor trying to regain her breath. “Let’s go, hon.”, he directed a smile and got one in return. “There’s nothing here worth taking home anymore.”, he put his hand on the small of her back and headed with her back to the car. The car was silent with the occasional coo from the boys that made the parents smile as Stefan had his hand on Hailey’s thigh and she put her own on top of his. Stefan’s protective display had stirred something in her. He followed her up to the nursery and trailed after her like a puppy she proceeded to put the boys down for their evening nap. She took his hand and led him back to their room.
Their room had a dark red wall pattern and all the furniture was dark red oak. Their bed was a king canopy bed. He hadn’t understood the smirk his brother and sister in law had send his wife. Hailey later explained that it was similar to how her dorm room was like at her school. The house was practically filled with red and golden aesthetic, apparently their house colors.
He had a confused smile on his face and was pleasantly surprised when Hailey started kissing him passionately. He got his bearings and gripped her hips and deepened the kiss. When they broke apart they were both breathless and smiling. She nuzzled his neck and he leaned himself more towards her. He could feel her smile into his neck. “Thank you. With how everything was I never was protected like that. I was always supposed to be the one protecting. Don’t get me wrong, my siblings would be there but there were times when they couldn’t and it got to me.”, Hailey had said into his neck and he could feel the heat building on her cheeks. His heart broke for her and he made a silent vow to always protect her from even the smallest things. He cupped her face and made sure they were looking eye to eye.
“I will do everything I can to make sure that we are protected and safe. I-I love you, so much. So much more than I thought I was capable of feeling. The thought of you in any pain emotionally, mentally, or physically it just makes me want to bundle you up and get rid of whatever made you like that. You and the boys, you make my existence and immortality feel like a good thing.”, with Elena it was expected of him to protect her but with Hailey she didn’t expect anything from him, other than to keep looking at her the way he does now. It wasn’t one sided and it wasn’t him just giving and giving, it was mutual adoration. He protects and loves her and she doesn’t hesitate to return it. Elena had constantly talked of not becoming a vampire and not being able to handle immortality. But Hailey showed a light at the end of the tunnel, her and their boys were worth living through everything and anything. The resumed kissing, Stefan had picked her up from the back of her thighs and she placed her arms around his neck.
*START SMUT SCENE*
They were both getting lost in the kiss but Stefan was craving the taste of his mate. He nipped at her bottom lip and used her gasping to slip his tongue in. The kiss felt different it felt…hungry. Neither had been able to truly feel each other for four months, they were desperate for each other. But Stefan was still hesitant, was it safe for Hailey to do the…extraneous act? He broke the kiss and nearly done himself in when Hailey whimpered and started to mark his neck. He bit back a moan and panted out, “Sweetheart *groan* is it…okay for us to keep going?”, while asking Hailey had decided to teasingly trail her hand down but stopped just before her hand would land were Stefan was yearning for her touch.
She looked up coyly and started stripping in front of Stefan. Showing confidence that wasn’t there when they were first intimate and it made Stefan’s mouth water. She was flushed but had a teasing smile on. In front of Stefan, Hailey had black set on. Her wonderful breast were incased in satin cups and her maidenhead was teasingly hidden under a black cloth of lace. The black made her skin look as if it was made of porcelain. Her scars and toned body just as before made her look like a war goddess. How he yearned to mark that beautiful body to show everyone that she was his and he was hers. She did a come hither motion and that was enough to convince him that she wanted him and she wanted him now. To repay her he also started to strip.
Stefan’s body was so much more defined than she had realized. If she hadn’t thought he was a marble statue before she did now. His abs were tantalizing and all she could think of was marking his tan skin. To show everyone who dared listed after Stefan that they could look all they want but they would NEVER be allowed to touch let alone taste. Once Stefan was in his boxers her control had snapped, she surprised Stefan by pushing him to sit on the edge of the bed and nearly bugged his eyes out when she dropped to her knees. His goddess was kneeling before him…she will be the death of him.
She swiftly pulled his underwear off and put as much as his herculean in her mouth as she could. Whatever she couldn’t fit she stroked with her hand. She rolled her tongue, licked, and sucked at the tip. She looked up to see Stefan expressions to see if she was doing a fair job. His head was thrown back and he was using a hand to hide his noises, that wouldn’t do. She slurped as she raised her head up and down. Stefan couldn’t handle it and his groans, moans, and whimpers were filling Hailey’s ears. And just as he was about to come she pulled her mouth off. He was a panting mess and looked at her as if she was a gift from the heavens. He wanted to repay the favor, so he tugged her up to him and pushed her down onto the bed.
She looked surprised at the sudden switched positions. Without much thought Stefan dove in to enjoy the taste of Hailey’s most intimate part. She gasped, moaned, whimpered, and squirmed at the sensation of Stefan’s tongue. What made her nearly undone was when he started to flick and suck on the little bud on her flower. She put a hand in his hair and forced him up to give him a filthy kiss filled with possessiveness, lust, and love. She was straddling him with their chest pushed together and their panting nearly in sync. She grabbed his hard on and lined it to her opening. With meeting his eyes she slammed herself down. It hurt a bit but the pain was nothing compared to the pleasure of having Stefan inside her again.
As if something unlocked at seeing her pleasure herself by using his body he started fucking up into Hailey in an almost bruising force. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders to keep her balance as Stefan took control. Soon enough she was on her back again with her ankles being held by Stefan. At this angle he went so much deeper and unlocked new sensations. He was sucking marks onto her neck and chest. She tugged him down to return the favor. Soon enough it was becoming too much and then Stefan reached down. He started furiously rubbing at her clit and it pushed her to climax. The tightening of her walls and her ankles pushing him further into her finally made Stefan release into her. They stayed together there panting until Stefan slipped out causing Hailey to whimper at the sensitivity.
He fond a towel and started cleaning both of them up. He put some boxers on and grabbed his shirt for Hailey to put on. Once situated he laid on his back in bed and she made herself comfortable on his chest. They shared one last kiss before they fell asleep.
*SMUT SCENE END*
As the young couple laid to sleep they had no prior indication that tomorrow would bring chaos. As Klaus and Rebekah were sure that the Potters were now situated in home they could finally awaken their brothers. There wasn’t anything left other than to tell the pack that it would be safer for them to leave the mansion. Klaus walked up to Tyler, his first hybrid, as he directed others to put the coffins into the ballroom. “Tyler, everyone! I need your attention. In these coffins are the rest of my family. The thing is my brothers are about as temperamental as me. As soon as you can I need all of you to leave. I will not risk your lives and my brothers would hurt any of you just to anger me. So please until I know for sure that my brothers won’t kill any members of the pack I need you lot to stay away. Understood?”, the pack was quiet none of them were comfortable with leaving their alpha to endure the rage of his family especially after him telling them that he wouldn’t risk their lives. But it was an order from the alpha and they can’t disobey.
“Where should we go? I don’t think there’s a place that could house all of us. I would suggest my house but my mother is too noisy for her own good.”, Tyler contemplating out loud when the pack made their way outside. There was thirty of them now. A light went off above Tyler’s head and he got out his phone and dialed her number. The pack was looking at him curiously and then they heard her voice.
“Hello? Tyler?”, the English accent along with her voice being a melody made it clear that it was Hailey Potter-Salvatore. She sounded tired. Did she just wake up from a nap it was only four in the evening. Tyler explained the situation and asked if the had room for some of the pack. His plan was to take some to his home and say they were friends from school that wanted to stay overnight for a project. Send some to the Potter Mansion and use the money Klaus gave them to send the remaining few to a hotel. “Oh of course! We have plenty of room for everyone just make your way and I’ll meet you in a few. She hung up and Tyler was a bit shocked that Hailey was willing to house thirty hybrids. But not wanting to look the horse in the mouth they made their way.
Back in the Mikaelson Mansion Rebekah and Klaus were setting things up. While Rebekah got the modern clothing for her brothers along with some hair appliances, Klaus had dragged in a couple of coolers with blood bags. Who knew how thirsty Finn would be? Sage was finally there and making sure to avoid Damon. She was so happy to hear that Finn was alive and that they would be together again. Klaus had borrowed a magical book from Hermione and a toy wand from Ron for Kol. When everything looked in place they each made their way to a brother. Rebekah with Kol, Sage with Finn, and Klaus with Elijah. They looked to each other and at the same time pulled the dagger out. Klaus got the box out and placed the daggers in. They went to the opposite wall and slid down it , waiting for signs of awakening.
Three gasps filled the room, taking in air for the first time in centuries. Or months for Elijah. The three rose from their sitting places to look at the vampires in the coffins. Klaus smirked.
“Welcome back, brothers.”
Immortal Dilemmas
*With Hailey Potter*
As soon as Hailey landed on the ground, she heard the door slam open. They must of put back up the detection wards. She was glad she had the sense to put a quick glamour on herself as to hide Stefan’s…love bites. She was soon surrounded by a blur a redheads and a single brunette. Ron and Hermione had no way of knowing where Hailey could have gone and they were worried for her mental state when handling the news of her…acquired status. For every hour that she was gone their worry grew. They had choice but to return to home base, The Burrow. It was their return spot, when Hailey returned she would apparate here. Then a problem, occurred the rest of the Weasleys had noticed the that their pseudo sister/daughter was not with them. They were cornered and questioned but the rest of the Weasleys couldn’t get far in questioning as they only know the bare minimum. After the battle Hailey had apparated in distress from receiving some life changing information. They wouldn’t tell them what the information was as that was only Hailey’s to share. The rest of the family was adamant to go search for her but Hermione had pointed out that there is no possible way to track her, they would just have to wait for news or for Hailey to show up. The Weasleys and Hermione were all still restless and worried from battle. No one in the Burrow got a good night sleep. When they awoke and begrudgingly eating breakfast they all felt the wards alert them that a familiar magic signature had apparted in front of the house, it was Hailey she was finally home. The wizards and witches all scurried out of the house and quickly surrounded Hailey. She was bombarded with questions of where was she, was she okay, who was she with, and etcetera. She answered as best as she could without revealing too much, she still needed to tell the newest developments to Hermione and Ron first. But before she could go and ask for some privacy with them, the Weasley matriarch had dragged her to the dining table. Molly had demanded that she put something in her stomach.
“Honestly Hailey dear, you look you could keel over haven’t you had anything to eat?”, Molly fretted as she put a full English breakfast in front of Hailey. Other than a few pints she actually hasn’t eaten in a while and she can’t exactly say she doesn’t need some food. Over the next few months she’ll have to take better care of her body for her baby. She started shoveling food into her mouth in hopes of giving the baby some nourishment. Though a more rational part of her knew that the baby was barely the size of a poppyseed but let her be. The Weasleys sat in astonishment, they have never witnessed her eat so much food without forcing her. She almost ate as much as Ron. While she was eating she was thinking of Stefan. She hoped he was safe and that no one was giving him too much of a hard time. She missed him already. As soon as she was done she gave a look to her best friends. They instantly knew to prep themselves for whatever she had to tell them. The rest of the Weasleys looked wary of letting them off by themselves. The trio ignored these looks and headed off to Ron’s room. As soon as they were in, Hermione casted a silencing ward around the room along with some extra precautions, the twins can be incredibly creative in eavesdropping when they want in on the information. When she was done the couple turned their attention to Hailey, who was trying to collect her thoughts, wanting to hear what had happened when she apparated.
“When we were in the library I had found a book with more details of what it means to be the Master of Death. I-it said that as the Master of Death I won’t be able to die until Death deems me ready and I won’t be able to age. The worst part was when I thought that I had lost the ability to start my own family.”, she said with her voice cracking a few times. Hermione was close to tears after everything her sister had been through the only thing she wanted was to be able to start a family and then go on to see the rest in the afterlife, it wasn’t fair. Ron wasn’t normally a guy in touch with his emotions but what he felt was anger, anger towards the whole universe for making his sister go through hell and back and not give her what she wanted and deserves. Hailey seeing that her pseudo siblings were going to implode with their emotions quickly moved on with her tale. The couple was surprised to hear her continue but listened intently.
“I needed some alone time to clear my head and think on…everything. I had ended up in Oregon,America. I was outside a small town and there was a lone street, so I just followed it. I don’t know how long I was walking for but a guy, Stefan, had eventually came along and offered me a ride to town. And don’t give me that look I can handle myself. Anyways, we made small talk in the car and really connected on a emotional level. We both needed a drink so he took me to a bar when we were leaving I may have…kissed him.”, she whispered that last part but with their expressions she must have not been quiet enough to go unnoticed.
“…WHAT?!?!?”, they couple said together but in completely different ways. Ron had said so in a angry and protective manner, Hailey was his little sister, he wanted this guy’s name and intentions towards her. Hermione had said it in an excited manner, Hailey finally had her first kiss! She would have to get a one on one with her soon to go into more detail. She wished Stefan were here he would have squeezed her hand and put his arms around her for reassurance. Hailey had flushed in embarrassment but she had to trudge on, if they reacted like this to her first kiss…she fears for the next part.
“Calm down! Wait until I finish-“
“There’s more?!”
“Yes Ron, there’s more!”, she was rethinking in actually telling them but she needed to. Didn’t help that Ron had the face of a child seeing their parents kiss. Just do it fast, like a bandaid.
“…He may have also… takenmyvirginityandgotmepregnant!”,there she did it. Ron looked confused but Hermione had heard it well enough. She was utterly gobsmacked and had questions. Hailey knew the look in her eye and prepared herself.
“But how? It shouldn’t be possible as the Master of Death the book had stated that only a creature of death could help you make the Heir. Unless there’s more about this boy you haven’t told us?” Hermione said with an imploring look. Ron was still so confused, he was strategically smart, and looked to Hermione to explain.
“What shouldn’t be possible and what do you mean make an heir with?!?”, he was starting to get nervous about the answer.
“Honestly Ronald, didn’t you hear her? Your going to be an uncle.”, then it clicked…but then that means…that Hailey. Ohhhh, that guy is so dead!
“But didn’t Hailey said that she lost that ability since she’s the Master of Death?” he asked.
“With humans Ron, Stefan’s a vampire, a creature of Death.”, she explained slowly. It wasn’t good to tell Ron things fast he needed to hear it clearly then process. With it finally processed Ron had collapsed and fainted, his little pseudo sister is…pregnant! He couldn’t handle the shock. Hermione and Hailey looked at each other. Now to figure out how to tell the rest…great.
*With Stefan Salvatore*
He thought of Hailey the whole way back to Mystic falls while idly touching the marks she left on his neck. His inner vampire was raging at being separated but he calmed it down enough with the reminder that it was safer for her to be away from him. Being away from her made his humanity turn off again. He went home to find the resident Scooby-gang once again plotting. They must have not expected him back yet as it was late and they all flinched when he walked in. Though they soon recovered and eyed him as he past them by but their looks of suspicion turned into ones of disbelief.
“What? You guys look like you’ve never seen the living dead before.”, he said not really caring. It was how vampires were when they had their humanity off they care for nothing and no one. Except a certain emerald eyed beauty.
“What we’re looking at Stefan are those marks on your neck! Where the hell have you been?!”, Elena said with an annoyingly demanding tone. He hadn’t forgotten about the marks, far from it. But he wasn’t going to hide them, he was proud of them and didn’t have to explain himself to Elena of all people. He looked towards her and almost laughed. Elena had a look of jealousy and longing in her eyes as she looked at his neck. She couldn’t believe he already moved on that fast even with his humanity off while she was still pining…and growing feelings for Damon. Though with how his brother was looking between them with barely concealed jealousy and how everyone else had narrowed eyes made him chuckle.
“These, Elena, are called ‘love bites’, a little something I got while I was away doing errands.”, he said with a cruel smile. Everyone’s eyes narrowed in suspicion, he could guess why. But he made a deal with Klaus and unlike a brother and ex of his, he actually plans to pull through with it. He just needed to keep Elena alive until Klaus is satisfied with the amount of hybrids.
“And what little brother was this important errand that required you of all people to get laid.”, Damon said in his usual sarcastic way. He thought of just brushing them off and telling Damon to mind his business until he got an idea. Why not send them on a wild goose chase? Spreads the gang apart and keeps them off his and Klaus’s tracks.
“Let’s just say after…dealing… with a coven of witches in Alabama, I was still a little wound up so a pretty little thing was happy to help me relax.”, he said looking around the room with cold eyes. There were mixed reactions: happy they got a lead but disgusted that Stefan possibly massacred a coven and had meaningless sex afterwards. Bonnie particularly looked resentful towards him. Caroline, Jeremy, and Alaric looked cautious. Elena was beginning to look frustrated at not getting more details about the girl he was with. Damon had a look of mild annoyance. His older brother was so used to having the attention focused on him. Especially, since he had to become a sort of leader. Damon had finally got Elena to notice him and everyone was starting to respect him but then his little brother walked in and everything just gravitated to Stefan. Stefan just chuckled again, he wondered how long it will take them to figure out he just lied to them.
“Well, I only stopped by to say I’m back. Now I need to get back to business.”, he needed to report to Klaus about the status of the the now deceased coven and tell him of his little plan. He sped out of the house it was better to just stay away. If he had stayed any longer he was probably going to be subjected to another lecture. He didn’t need to be saved and he didn’t need to change. Why was that so hard to understand?! He missed Hailey so much. He missed the way she listened to him about his woes with his family and made him see the situation in a new light. If it wasn’t for her, his humanity self would be stuck in self loathing. She helped bring back the light in his life. He hoped she was okay and that she would keep his ring and number with her. She doesn’t need to call him but he feels better knowing that she at least has it. By the time he was finished with his thoughts on the enchanting girl he had reached Klaus’s mansion. Nowadays Klaus actually seemed more easy to bear with than his own brother. He also needed to ask if he could get him another daylight ring, he’ll just say things got rougher than he anticipated with the witches. Though when he walked in Klaus, who was looking through some blueprints for his mansion, had snapped his head up to his direction with a shocked expression. It was unnerving to see. Then it turned into a wolfish grin and said something that turned Stefan’s world upside down.
“Stefan! My favorite ripper, tell me all about Oregon. But specifically start on the girl you claimed and mated, I’m sure that is more interesting than whatever those witches told you.”, how… HOW…did he find out about Hailey?!?
You guys are probably going to think I’m a nut job but I sort of created a team based off that the character would get red eyes when transforming or when they are being controlled. With Harry we know that he got red eyes whenever Voldemort would take possession of him. With Barry when he was under the influence of the Rainbow Raider his eyes would turn red. Peter, I had once seen a fan art of him under the influence of venom and he had red eyes and then there is also Instant Kill Mode that I love to see on him. With Scott every time he goes wolf he has his red eyes shown, red eyes in his world signify the status of a alpha wolf. Danny had once been under control by Freakshow and during that he had red eyes instead of his normal blue or green. And Jake normally has his eyes black but for a split moment when he transforms he has flames in his eyes, so I just saw them as red instead. To be perfectly honest I had created this team because they are all characters I had a crush on while growing up.
Task force : Tricksters
Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliffe -Warlock
Barry Allen - Grant Gustin - Vortex
Peter Parker - Tom Holland -Arachnid
Scott McCall - Tyler Posey - Alpha
Danny Fenton - Logan Lerman -Phantom
Jake Long - Ryan Potter - Dragon
I put who I imagine in the team and what I thought would be like their code names. I also came up with nicknames they call each other since they are too paranoid to use their actual names or don’t remember them. I’m still working on the story for it.
Harry- Voodoo
Barry- Roady (short for roadrunner)
Peter- Spinner
Scott- Puppy
Danny- Spooky
Jake- Mushu
Preview:
Hydra had heard rumors that all over ,there are powerful forces that could even outdo what the super soldier serum could do. There were mentions of children having powers that make grown men keel over. A baby in London had made his house blowup when an intruder had entered. His parents were deceased but the baby only had a scar to show that he was harmed. It was said that only a pile of robes and ashes were left of the intruder. A boy barely out of elementary school had seen his parents get murdered and had suddenly entered a coma for a year. Rumors say that his body would vibrate suddenly and stop as soon as it happened. And when he woke up he was perfectly healthy. He had said that the person who killed his parents drugged him as all he saw that was attacking his parents where flashes of lightning. A boy who had just recently started elementary school had recently been displaying abnormal strength and unusual stickiness after visiting his parents (undercover) work place. The child was under Hydra’s radar especially as his parents had been SHIELD agents and recent targets. A boy who had recently started middle school had been displaying odd behaviors after he had told his parents he had been bitten by a big dog. His parents hadn’t believed him as he had no wounds on him, but afterward he had become extremely aggressive when upset and had strange reactions towards his senses. A rumor from another state that a baby boy had been would go missing constantly after his parents had found him in their latest invention. A scout that was sent out had reported seeing the boy’s eyes glow green when having a small tantrum. And finally, a source from China had reported that a family had been slaughtered in what seemed to be a gang war. But Hydra saw differently. The only survivor had been a toddler. The boy had said to the Chinese officials that his parents had taken a vacation to China to visit his mother’s family when the bad men came. His mother had hid him in a secret room in the closet and told him to only come out when he heard nothing. The young boy was sent to an orphanage but would display odd behavior. He would often growl when angry and roar when having a tantrum. The orphanage had reported that the young boy at the age of seven had blew fire out of his mouth.
It’a a work in progress but I just wanted to know if I should continue with this insane idea or just give it up and just have this task force doing their adventures in my head.
The ships I have in mind so far are Harry x Cedric, Oliver x Barry, Scott x Liam, Danny x Sam (Manson), and Jake x Rose. I’m not mentioning Peter because I am stuck on who to ship him with. As you can tell by my name I would normally ship him with Bucky but I can also see Peter happily in a relationship with Steve or MJ. So out of those three I don’t know who to ship him with in this story.
Hey, have you thought about maybe making a master list for your story, Immortal Dilemmas?
Hi! To be honest I don’t even know how to make a master list. I can try though. I’ll try to have it done in a couple of days.
This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
Immortal Dilemmas
Chapter 22
It was as if the warm atmosphere that was created by the immortal couple had become as cold as ice when Damon had stalked his way in. Stefan had to motion the hybrids to stand down, it wouldn't do much good to make a scene. They would have been completely fine ignoring Damon and going along in their evening; as long as Damon didn't try anything, there wasn't much use in getting worked up over his presence. That thought made Stefan lose up a bit, but he ended up tensing immediately after inwardly, he had to hold back a snarl. What made the Ripper in Stefan snarl was that once Damon was aware of their presence, he had an unwavering glare on Hailey. Stefan wanted to lash out and ask Damon what the hell his problem was, but he bit it back after seeing Damon's eyes flicker to him and ultimately turned his gaze to the bar. Good, at least Damon had enough sense while unhinged not to start something right now. He felt his hand squeezed and turned his gaze to his wife. Finally, his hard glare softened when he saw her look of concern for him. He didn't want to push himself today; it was supposed to be a day to relax, not another day to worry about his demented brother. He squeezed back in assurance, raised his eyebrow, and nodded to the door; she nodded, agreeing it was better to go than to stay and potentially clash with Damon. She knew that both of them were already in a very unstable emotional state; how they interacted before would be like a puppy and kitten tugging at the same toy compared to whatever brawl or argument could happen right now. They left money on the table including a generous tip, ignored the scoff they heard from Damon, and headed out with the hybrids in tow. They knew the only reason they couldn't feel a heated glare on their backs was that the hybrids acted as a buffer.
Damon could only fume as he heard the door slam shut behind his brother and his puppy possie. The more he thought about recent events, the more he wanted to lash out and paint the town red with whoever was misfortunate enough to cross his path in his rampage. He had spent over a hundred years trying to get Katherine back with the sole ideology that once she had seen how useful he was and how loyal he was to stay to her, she would finally choose him over Stefan, proving to him that his brother wasn't his superior. But all that time and effort was wasted and spat back in his face when she wasn't even in the crypt, he had nearly done Elena in just because she had the same face as the woman who would never return his feelings. Unfortunately, he realized afterward that Katherine had never loved him or his brother. She had just wanted to own them. Like some loyal dogs that would be at her beck and call and with whom she could play whenever the need arose. But his vampire couldn't accept it, the whole reason for him becoming a vampire and what drove him to stay alive as one was Katherine, his obsession and only she could be the one to give value to his being. Now she's gone, what was he supposed to do now? Elena could never be Katherine; she would just be some poor imitation no matter how much he would mold her. He can't get revenge on the freaky little witch that Stefan is so keen on playing house with, if she could make Katherine like that there would be no telling what nightmare she would have in store for him. He couldn't act without a plan, and it was driving him up a wall, he was always the impulsive one, but he could only be so rash, the odds of him surviving any interaction after he tried to get revenge were so slim that they were practically transparent. He hadn't noticed two blondes sitting at a booth diagonal towards him. If he had he would have noticed the male pointing one of those freaky sticks that the Potters frequently had on their persons straight at him. He felt something faintly brush against his back before finally noticing them. He didn't know what was happening anymore, but suddenly, he was walking towards them at a sedated pace. Everything feels like he's in a big fog, lost with no way of knowing where he is going and no idea what he could be doing. He could faintly hear what was being ordered of him.
Lucious didn't even bother to turn toward the vampire he had just cast the imperious curse on. "Listen well, vampire. You are to follow your brother and that witch; I can see the anger in your eyes towards them. You cared for that female vampire, didn't you? Well, now, isn't it just unfair that your brother walks happily with that girl while yours is barely a living husk? Don't you want to let your anger out, don't you want them to know pain? Go to them, but do make sure that the witch at least lives, she still has a purpose of being useful to me.", once the order was given, he and Esther got up from the booth to leave Damon on his own. When Damon had snapped out of his daze, he looked around him, trying to remember what he was doing, until an image of Katherine popped into his mind, and then, like a tidal wave, anger slammed into him. His vampire face came out full force he turned towards the door and quickly picked up the scent of his brother. It was time to get even.
He and Hailey were both a little tense, and both decided it was time to go home, their date had gone great but with Damon near it just made the both of them nervous. Damon was impulsive but most of the time he wasn't stupid, but he wasn't going to chance it, when it came to Damon's anger no one knew it better than Stefan. Just as they reached the parking lot, Stefan's ears picked up the sound of someone speeding towards them. By the tensing he noticed in the hybrids, he concluded they picked it up, too. Just as he turned towards the sound, he suddenly flew back and crashed into his car door. He heard Hailey shout his name before he heard a sickening crack, he quickly reoriented himself to see the hybrids in front of Hailey trying to fend Damon off, the crack he heard had come from Damon breaking one of their necks as he noticed one of them downed on the rough granite of the parking lot. In all the chaos, they couldn't tell with Damon's vampire face on that his usual eyes were clouded over. Stefan tried to will his healing to speed up to fix his fractured spine as Damon was quickly snapping the remaining hybrids' necks. Odd Damon was usually one to finish an enemy off with no chance of recovering, but he couldn't focus on that right now! His brother was snarling over Hailey, panting like some rabid animal. He had nearly finished healing when he finally heard his brother speak.
He sneered at her and finally exploded, “What makes you so great?! What makes you so special that my dimwitted little brother is willing to throw everything away for you?! Katherine wasn’t perfect but she was beautiful, smart, and strong!”, he stopped pacing. He looked at her with a murderous smile. “And what do you have? Your freaky witchy powers?! The only thing you’re good for is being a bed warmer...and maybe to be a decent meal. And now that I think about it, I’m hungry.” he sped towards her, uncaring about what consequences may come, and sunk his fangs into her shoulder…to only then be blown back into the wall…hard. His spine was definitely broken, he used his forearms to pick his upper body up and looked to see his brother staring down at him with an emotionless face.
As if possessed, Stefan had stalked towards his brother, lifted him up by his shoulder, and planted his hand into Damon's chest. Damon let out a painful wheeze, feeling his brother's hand around his heart and his nails digging into the organ. Hailey had finally recovered enough to sit up and witness her husband have his hand in Damon's chest. Normally, she would have felt satisfaction at seeing Damon helpless at the hands of her beloved but something was off, her magic was shifting as if trying to send her some signal, seeing as how her husband had the situation handled she allowed her magic to venture and it led her to see a disturbance around Damon, it made her investigate his appearance, his vampire face was gone, and as she landed on his eyes she was pulled into a flashback of the Triwizard Tournament when Viktor had the same eyes as him when he was under the Imperious Curse. She groaned inwardly but was also slightly panicked; someone had put Damon under the Imperious Curse, Mystic Falls was compromised, and an enemy had found her home. She hated to admit it, but she needed to stop Stefan; she would need Damon alive to get information.
"Love, please come back to me, I need you more than I need to see your brother in pain.", she whispered to him but knew he could hear her all the same. He growled and slowly pulled out his hand from his brother's chest cavity, but to ensure that he wouldn't move to attack his wife again, he broke both of Damon's legs, his right leg sluggishly bleeding as a bone had pierced out. He waited for his wife to approach him and felt some of the tension in his body bleed out when she put her hand on his nape, skin contact with his wife had become a quick way to ground him. He tensed again when his wife moved away from him and walked towards Damon, who looked and sounded like a wounded animal. When Damon tried to lunge at her, she was quick enough to throw a red spell from her hand at his face, leaving Damon knocked out cold. This was ideal, while she was never up to Snape's standards in Occlumency, she had refined herself well enough to probe through minds without leaving the person a jumbled mess, she ignored the hiss that came out of Stefan when she had to put her hands on Damon's head to open his eyes, she starred into them and dived into his memories. She started easy and came to his most recent memory in the Mystic Grill just minutes ago. She looked around and stopped cold at what she saw but wasn't too surprised. It, however, did not quell her bubbling rage. Lucious Malfoy seemed to have made a friend, but she'd need to show this memory to others to see if anyone knew her. Why couldn't this man leave her alone and find some other way to save his reputation and failing household, she swears that Tom's obsession with her must have transferred to his death munchers after his death. She pulled away and came back to reality, the hybrids were groaning and cracking their necks into place while Stefan was silently whimpering at her because her wound had yet to heal. It stung, but after surviving Crucios and basilisk venom, almost nothing phased her anymore. She asked two of the hybrids if they could take Damon back to the mansion and inform everyone that the town had been compromised and that there would need to be a meeting as soon as they all got home. She had to make the hybrids promise not to let anyone kill Damon once they explained the situation of why Stefan had nearly killed him. There was grumbling but they promised. She turned to Stefan and nearly shrieked when he bit his wrist, but her worrying was halted when it was offered to her, she tends to forget that vampires can heal others with their blood.
She cringed a bit at the taste, blood no longer was appetizing to her since the twins had been born. She could feel her body healing the wound and saw that there was now a faint scar where the bite marks had once been. She allowed him to carry her bridal style back to the mansion, with the hybrids tailing them. As soon as they had reached the front lawn, the door slammed open, and the immortal couple was smothered in fretting family members and could barely answer any of the questions thrown at them. It soon became overwhelming, and Stefan bared his fangs at his siblings silently to tell them to back off and wait a bit. Hailey glared at them so that everyone could eventually calm down. She saw from the corner of her eye that the hybrids had put Damon in the dungeons, Remus scrunched his nose a bit at that, as the dungeon had been his to transform every month. He mumbled about it needing a deep cleaning after Damon was gone to remove his scent. His wolf had grown accustomed to the others but Moony tended to howl and growl all night if he picked up the scent of an enemy nearby.
The magicals were very tense once the hybrids showed up with a bloody Damon and told them that Mystic Falls was compromised. They asked hurriedly where Hailey and Stefan were and calmed a bit at hearing that they were already on the way home. A huge sigh of relief when not ten seconds later the couple had arrived. They wanted to know everything immediately, but once Stefan had bared his fangs, the Mickaelsons knew that their brother was on the edge of going feral again. They stepped off with the magicals following soon after, they smelled blood and Moony looked close to coming out when he recognized that it was Hailey's blood. "Everyone shut it and please listen." from how tense Hailey was, everyone was quick to fall in line. "We've been compromised. I don't know how, but a very unsavory bloke from back home seems to have followed us to Mystic Falls. I don't know how much he knows, but he likely knows about Stefan being my mate and about the boys since we hadn't felt the need to hide it. To make matters worse, he seems to be using Unforgivables on the muggles in town, or at least he's been using the supernatural as some pawns. Today, while we were out, we had a run-in with Damon, but he seemed content to sulk at the bar and glare at us; once we left the building, he must have followed us as soon as we were in the parking lot. Damon had started snapping necks. He bit me, and of course, Stefan retaliated. But my magic had been stirring, so I let it feel around, and it led me to look at Damon, he had been put under Imperio, the spell that takes away your free will and forces you to be a mere puppet to the caster, I had to check his memories to be sure, but it seemed Lucious Malfoy was planning to get rid of Stefan somehow and get me under his boot. But that's not all. It seems dear Lucy has made friends, he was with a blonde woman I did not recognize. I'd thought to share the memory with the rest of you to see if anyone could identify her."
She tapped her temple with her hand and used her left hand to conjure a vial with wandless magic to place the silver wisp into it. She asked Ron to go and fetch the pensieve. Everyone who didn't have magic was confused about what was a pensieve and how it would help see a memory. Ron came back levitating a very large basin on a pedestal that was silver decorated with gold etchings, he placed it in the middle of the drawing room. Hailey came up to it and poured the vial into the basin. She beckoned everyone forward, and soon, they were all enveloped and dragged into the basin. It seemed as if they were there in person at the Grill just a few hours ago, they appeared behind Damon, who was nursing a bottle of bourbon and was scowling at the door as Stefan and Hailey had walked out with their guards. They expected him to rush after them in anger, but he just sat and continued to drink then they heard the door opening. It seemed Damon noticed as well but didn't acknowledge the new people. But the others turned to see who they were, and the Mickealsons froze. It wasn't possible; Nik had killed her over a thousand years ago, and Finn turned over a new leaf and decided not to be their mother's pawn and not resurrect her. How was she walking around Mystic Falls? After noticing that they had recognized the woman, Hailey soon pulled them all out of the memory.
She looked at the Originals with a questioning look as they gathered themselves again. She looked to Stefan, but he seemed as befuddled as the rest of them about who that lady was. However, when he noticed her gaze on him, he stepped closer to her and held her hand, needing some skin-to-skin contact to help relax a bit. They smiled tentatively at each other a silent 'sorry' for the night ending on such a sour note.
They were startled out of their little world when Elijah cleared his throat to bring attention to himself. " It seems that the threat has just become larger by multiple times, that woman was our mother, the Original Witch, the same witch that created the vampire race.", he spoke in a very grim tone. Finn spoke up next. He knew what his mother's endgame was, it would be disastrous if she were able to accomplish it.
''From what she used to rave and preach in the afterlife was how we were abominations, her creations that deserved to die as recompense to once again stabilize nature. However, she had found out how to give waste to our entire species. She found that once an Original was slain, every vampire from our sire line would also die, killing an infection at the root, as she used to call it." the silence that followed his statement was deafening, and thousands would be lost. They wouldn't allow it, a fire was rekindled in the hearts of the wand users, which had dwindled down at the war's end. They refuse just to lay down and play dead, they took down one genocidal maniac before what was one more?
"Well, I don't know about you lot, but I think we should put your mom back into her dirt nap. Leave it to some bitter witch to believe nature requires mortals to help balance itself, listen, I refuse to allow some delusional Bint to be the end to our new family. Get packing people, we need to relocate. We are officially no longer safe to continue residing here. Tonks, go to MACUSA and see if they can provide emergency lodging, Remus go with her and report Lucius, if he's here who knows who followed him to get to me, Hermione, Ron, I need you guys to start packing everything up and remove our presence from the house. Klaus, I need you and everyone else to pack up everything important to them and come back here as soon as possible. Stefan, get the boys and prepare a bag for them. There should be a big brown leather duffel bag under our bed. Grab it and put whatever you think we need from our room. It has an extension charm, so it'll fit a lot. I'll get the thestral herd and get them packed and ready.", by that she meant she would get a large briefcase and charm it to be massively extended on the inside, and probably would have to transfigure the dresser and bedpost into a platform to set up a stable and barn in it, as well as move the very large freezer into it and charm it to self-distribute to feed the herd on time, thestrals need their raw meat. Everyone moved, quickly apparating and speeding away. She could feel in the wards that Ron and Hermione were in the library, and she couldn't hold back a snort at that.
She and Stefan made their way upstairs where the hybrids in charge of them for an hour handed the boys to their parents. She quickly got to work on dismantling their bed and transfiguring it, as well as finding the briefcase that she had stashed away in the closet. She never noticed Stefan, while doing his task, seemed very distracted and his eyes were constantly shifting between her and the boys. When she was about to step out of their room, Stefan had latched onto her waist. It startled her but then she realized that Stefan had not said anything the entire time they were packing up. “Stefan?” she asked with trepidation. He had been very quiet on the way back home, and she was beginning to worry. “Are you okay, love?”, she relaxed into him and put her arms around his waist, mindful of the fact that the twins were sleeping. He tried to relax into her as well but at the last moment, he remained stiff. He looked over her, especially over the shoulder his brother had harmed. He healed her, and there wasn’t a scar left to the naked eye, but to a vampire's vision, there was a faint marking of fangs…it made his blood boil. Stefan was still running on instincts when he answered her.
“No…I’m the only one allowed to bite you…to leave my mark. Please just…let me fix what my brother tainted.”, it was driving him crazy. Blood was sacred to vampires it was their life source. For Damon to drink from his mate is beyond sacrilege. He had wanted to wait a bit before taking the next step in their relationship but with Damon having Hailey's blood in his system it just made his vampire extremely uneasy. They had drunk each other's blood before but never in the proper way of creating the bond. For mates 'blood sharing' was intense, it is said to be the final ritual to have between mates and causes them to be bound forever to each other, it was a ritual of pure love to deepen their understanding of each other's feelings. It symbolizes trust and care between individuals. He had heard from Nik that there was once a pair that had completed the bond and could have known what the other was thinking or going to say without even looking at each other. But with something always coming up and trying to be there for every single moment of the boys' lives, it always seemed like a bad time to bring it up. He tried to explain to his wife what he meant by 'fixing' and hoped she could understand.
In all honesty since Damon had bit her, she felt off. It was like she was in dire need of a deep cleansing charm on herself, and she had no clue why. But with Stefan’s answer, it started to make sense, she felt tainted, and the only way to get ‘cleansed’ was to have Stefan fix it. She nodded to him and let him lead her to their mattress on the floor. She sat down on it and waited as Stefan had nuzzled the boys and put them to sleep in their crib. She got the gist of what they had to do for the ritual. She felt her heartbeat so loudly in her ears and she knew Stefan could hear it just as well, especially if the smirk he was wearing said anything. He pulled her into a hug in which she finally felt him relax. He pulled them up against the wall, with his back on the wall and hers on his chest. They sat there sedated by each other's presence when she started to feel Stefan move her hair away from her neck and kiss her pulse point. She shivered from the contact but did not move away, she felt him pull something out of his pocket and into her hand. It was her dagger that she used for rituals. He looked into her eyes and wordlessly offered up his wrist. She unsheathed the blade and cut his arm, he never once winced or looked away from her. As she grabbed his wrist and brought it towards her, he did the same with hers. She barely winced once he sunk his teeth in and then proceeded to drink from her husband. In a near instant, she felt everything he felt and thought everything he was thinking. The desperate need to protect his family, his never-ending love for their sons, his love for her, the fragile hope in his brother, and the hidden need to make amends with Damon. And in return, he felt all of her. Her love for him, for their family, the strong protective feelings she has for everyone special to her, and her fear of losing everything she fought so hard to protect. After finishing they just sat silently with each other until the boys started crying and Hailey went to grab them. When she came back and sat with Stefan, they simply looked at each other no longer needing words to express anything just each other. They must have been staring at each other longer than they thought because they started to receive texts from everyone saying they were ready to go. They scrambled up as fast as they could with the boys suspiciously giggling at them the entire time. Stefan had started speeding around the room and Hailey had taken the boys with her while levitating the suitcase behind her downstairs.
She stopped at the bottom as everyone was there and looked shocked that she wasn't ready. She was getting some knowing looks from her in-laws but she ignored them in favor of giving them the boys and running off to herd the thestrals into her suitcase. Thankfully she had already put everything else in and she just needed her herd. They seemed to pick up that they were leaving and met her at the opening and waited for her to put the suitcase down. "Alright everyone, single file please, and no pushing we gotta go!" she watched them impatiently, but they were making good progress all things considered. Once the last thestral was in she closed up and was about to head inside when she heard a distinct bird screech. She looked up and saw an eagle landing on a wooden post near the door and putting its leg out to her. She took it and looked it over; it was from Remus, and he was using a MACUSA owl to let her know that they all needed to head towards the official building as it seemed the Ministry of Magic had pulled out an ancient law that she must abide by. No doubt a last-ditch effort to buy time to find something to refute the abolishment of the laws her family had been able to do and is almost done with. In order to finally get rid of the law that prohibits the existence of her children she would need to be there in person as the Lady of her houses. She scowled but she had a determined look in her eye as she marched back into the house to tell everyone the news.
While Hailey and Stefan were busy trying to scamper everything together a certain Original had gone down in the dungeon to check on Damon. Damon was barely waking up when he saw a pair of legs walk up to him. "I believe its time we've had a chat Mr. Salvatore"
Ever since she was eleven, she knew that she was not to be considered normal in whatever world she chose to reside in. In one she is reigned a hero, the chosen one, the savior that would come and make everything perfect for everyone. But still she is not treated the same. In the other she is a freak, the delinquent child that her ‘poor’ relatives have to put up with. She had to be alone in both worlds other than a select few. She did not even know of her true origins until the faithful day of her eleventh birthday. She had thought she had finally found a world that would treat her as one of their own only to have been put on a pedestal for something that she barely remembered. But she had no where else to go. Anywhere other than her repugnant relatives vicinity was better. So she stayed and learned that the world that had risen her on pedestal would also not hesitate to turn on her in slightest inclination of her not meeting expectations. She learned to endure it in order to keep those she had made into her makeshift family. So she was tortured, tormented, publicly outcasted, and even had lost some of her beloved family in order for the world that could accept her to stay.
In the end she did what her world wanted, she fought and became their golden girl general. She won the war and was able to keep most of her makeshift family. Her personal causalities were kept to only Sirius. A man she longed to have helped bring her up but was overtaken in anger for the loss of a brother and in the end was lost in battle. Remus and Tonks had prevailed in surviving the battle in order to see their little boy flourish in a world they fought for and ensured for him. Fred and George with some minor damage to their persons had barely made it but prevailed and now live to bring more laughter and mischief to the newly fought for world. She was happy but something was amiss with her. After awakening from Voldemort’s failed attempt on her life she felt different. She felt more in tuned with her magic and while battling with him she felt that her wand wasn’t right with her. It could barely stand the amount of magical power coming from her. After conversing with Ron and Hermione about what to do with the Elder Wand she felt that it was at home in her hand and person. She had never felt a wand fit so perfectly it was why she was wary of it and decided it was best to snap it. But as she was walking back to the doors of Hogwarts she felt a sudden weight in her hand. And to her shock it was the Elder Wand in better condition than she had seen it within Voldemort’s hand. She kept her gasp quiet but it still captured the attention of her best friends.
“Hailey? What is it, are you alright?! Your not injured from any wayward spells are you ?!?!”, said her sister in all but blood and law frantically.
“ I’m fine Mione, it’s just…”, Hailey started to trail off as she held up the Elder Wand for her friends to see. The looks on her friends faces would have been hilarious if she wasn’t so focused on the wand that made itself at home in her hand.
“Bloody hell… Hailey you have to make sure that no one knows you have it, or else they’ll go after you again.”, Ron said in a panic. He just fought a war with his best friend he wasn’t sure if he could handle fighting off the rest of the world with her too. She just stood there in shock before placing the wand in her holster and making sure it was concealed under her sleeve and out of sight. She nodded to them and they continued walking to Hogwarts, shoulder to shoulder, their habits while on the run are going to be hard to shake off. As soon as they entered the makeshift recovery area and former great hall they were acknowledged but left alone as people were trying to heal and hopefully find friends and loved ones. Hermione had a look in her eye that screamed to her and Ron that she wanted to do research. They made their way to the library, finding anything they could on the elder wand and even checked the restricted section. Until Ron had bumped into a shelf that had dropped a black leather book. When he picked it up and checked the cover there was a familiar sigma on it. In gold etching was a circle in a triangle both being parted by a vertical line, the deathly hallows sigma. He immediately brought the book to his girlfriend and pseudo sister.
“What about this one?”, he said bringing the book to Hermione’s and Hailey’s attention. Hermione started skimming it until a page that had caught her attention.
“As it is stated in the original tale a brother passed down his gift from death. However there will be a day in which a descendent will be in ownership of all three hallows making them the Master of Death. And they along with a creature of death will be able to bring the next heir of Death. The Master of Death will be in decision of when the heir may take the title. But the hallows will not be able to be taken away from the true master.”, Hermione said reciting the book in shock of what this could mean for Hailey.
“WHAT?!? YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I AM NOW THE MASTER OF DEATH?!?”, Hailey said sounding on the verge of hysteria. A thousand thought were swirling around her head and they were turning for the worst. What if people found out and tried to hurt her family. After everything they’ve been through don’t they deserve to get a peaceful life. Noticing that she was getting paler and breathing becoming erratic, Ron took a hold of her shoulders and looked into her eyes to attempt to calm her down.
“Hails look at me. We are going to figure this out. And we are going to see how this affects you. We always find a way. Okay?”, he said gently as to not startle her. After hearing her brother’s reassurance, her breathing calmed down and she regained some color but she was still filled with worry. After that they kept searching through every book they could find on the deathly hallows but all pointed to that she was now the Master of Death. They learned additionally that she could no longer age and cannot die by normal means. Only when death is willing to take her will she’ll be able to join the afterlife. Learning this had send Hailey down an even bigger spiral, she had been looking through the book and her friends had noticed she had froze entirely and they were about to ask what she had found when she had accidentally apparted in her distress. When she landed it was in an open area with a single road surrounded by a nature. She had no idea where she is but she wanted to clear her mind and not head back yet so she started to wander in the unfamiliar setting. She headed down the road aimlessly and looked to the sky. It looked a lot sunnier than what she was used to seeing in London. She was walking for about half an hour when she started to hear a car speeding down the same road she walking on. The driver seemed to had noticed her, which should be Impossible as they were going way too fast but she wouldn’t realize that as she was in a daze, the car had slowed down and stopped right beside her.
“Hey! You okay? Need a ride to town?”, said the driver of a red 1963 Porsche 356B Karmann Coupe… she and Sirius had bonded over vehicles, consequently along with the Black fortune, titles, and seats he left her with his flying bike. The driver had an American accent. He was definitely a he and an attractive he at that. Brown hair, from what she can see it was cut short in the back and on the sides and it was longer on the front. He had green eyes as well, not like hers but still a nice green with a bit of blue. He was fit and wearing a grey t-shirt with a leather jacket over it with some faded blue jeans and black boots. With her analysis done she looked back up to his face and could see he was still waiting for an answer, she made it up on the spot.
“Hi! Yeah I could use a ride I got into a crash a while back and my… phone broke so I couldn’t call anyone.”, did she really forget what a phone was and called. A car drive could help clear her head a bit more, she wasn’t worried about her personal safety. She was a war veteran witch and a newly appointed Master of Death she could handle herself.
“Hop in. I’m Stefan, Stefan Salvatore.“, Stefan said with an empty smile and cold eyes while offering his hand once she was seated in his car.
She took his hand and replied, “Hailey Potter, pleased to meet you Mr.Salvatore.”
“Please, just Stefan.”, as their hands touched a bond had started forming. Unknown to them the person beside them would be tied to them for the rest of their immortal lives.
Chapter 13
Hermione had been the one to suggest getting phones as a way to contact and pinpoint each other when magic wasn’t an option. The ones with capability to talk had gotten the same kind of phone with different colored cases. Hailey had black, Hermione had blue, Ron had red, Moony went with amber yellow, and Tonks went with pink. Before leaving everyone made it clear to her that they wanted her to check in if any new occurrences happened. With Damon cornering her, her reunion with Stefan, and her having to separate the fight, she hadn’t any time to check in or think about checking in with Moony and everyone else. Despite him yelling out her name when she picked up his call she could also her the relief in his voice. She felt guilty for making them worried. The vampires were confused as to why someone was yelling at her and almost caused Stefan to take the phone from her to snarl at whoever was on the other side of the phone. He was placated when Hailey threw him a sheepish smile to him.
“WE WERE ALL WORRIED! WHAT HAPPENED?! YOU WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND!! AND NOW I HEAR ALL THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU HAVING TO STOP A FIGHT?!?! WERE ARE YOU AND THE TWINS?! I SWEAR IF SOME HOOLIGAN-“, rightfully mortified and embarrassed she cut off her uncle’s fretting, even without enhanced hearing there would be no way that the other occupants in the room didn’t here the worried werewolf. Klaus and Rebekah had an amused face on from hearing how overprotective the caller sound but they were confused as to who it is as they were not informed of Hailey’s family. Stefan had a troubled face on, he was worried that he had already made a bad impression on his mates family by not being there during Hailey’s pregnancy and then with all the rumors around there was no doubt in his mind that they saw him in a bad light. Hailey without noticing Stefan’s face had leaned her head on his shoulder to calm herself down and unknowingly calming her mate down as well.
“Moony! I’m sorry that I didn’t check in but so much happened and I can’t exactly say it over a call. I’ll be back soon and I won’t be alone, please make sure everyone is there.”, she knew that this was news you can’t just spout off over the phone, not to mention with how her uncle was reacting it was best to do it in person. She was mainly worried about how he would react to Stefan. The twins are only half and so far he hasn’t reacted negatively to them but Stefan was a nearly two hundred years old full vampire. He already knew her mate is a vampire but sometimes instinct doesn’t correspond to common sense. She needed to introduce Stefan to her family in a gentle manner, less having to deal with another supernatural brawl. One thing was for certain she will not have her uncle and husband at each other’s throats! While hardening her resolve Stefan tensed up, meeting the family of the girl you love was enough to make any guy anxiety ridden.
“Pup…what’s happened, is anything wrong?!”, Remus was understandably worried the last few months have been shock after shock. He already had grey hairs from the stress of the war and from the twins being born. He had fainted when Tonks told him she was expecting and again at all the babies being born. He wasn’t sure if he would survive another shock. The news of Hailey getting unknowingly married nearly send him into cardiac arrest!
“No, Moony. It’s just that…this is something that everyone needs to hear in person.”, oh sweet merciful Merlin! This had to be payback from all the mischief he had done in school. He could just hear Sirius and James laughing at him from the grave over how much he was fretting. What kind of news would make Hailey want to say it in person. It didn’t help that Tonks and Teddy were laughing and giggling at his expressions over the phone call. He threw his wife a narrowed look and softly scowled at her when she feigned innocence. It didn’t help that Teddy just giggled harder at the interaction. Hailey could hear Teddy and smiled softly, Stefan could as well and imagined what it would be like when the boys would start? They arranged to be at the mansion with Ron and Hermione after Remus got wind of Hailey not having eaten. He will not have her going all over the place on an empty stomach.
At being reminded to eat, Hailey promptly asked Klaus if she could use the kitchen. Klaus had first rejected and offered to have his hybrids make something for her, but she was adamant. He couldn’t very well win the argument so he relented. Stefan had smiled at the domestic argument and beamed when Hailey had told him to hold the boys while she made the food. Soon after he had the boys strapped to his chest and bouncing them them to see the faint smiles on their faces with the Originals trailing after him, hoping to hold the babies again. While Hailey was with Stefan momentarily Klaus had talked to his hybrids and told them to leave Hailey be unless she asked and to not do anything that could expose them. He wasn’t sure if Stefan had told her yet. Back in the kitchen, the hybrids were confused to see a teen girl bouncing around the kitchen but Klaus had ordered them to leave her be. They were okay with being under Klaus, as long as they didn’t betray him they were under his protection.
Tyler was among them and he had broken up with Caroline in order to show his loyalty to the pack, Klaus didn’t endanger their lives every few months. A certain doppelgänger can’t say the same with her family and friends. Even without the sire bond the wolves genuinely feel that Klaus has earned their loyalty, they just feel a little intimidated to actually show it. Klaus was the alpha and had given them the option of not having to go through the transformation every full moon. Non werewolves would never be able to understand how much that means. With how the curse is triggered, it would usually have happened after a tragic accident that already leaves survivor’s feeling guilty to so much more dread. Car crashes, not being fast enough to stop an occurrence, preservation instincts, and just total accidents is how most of the pack triggered the curse. What matters the most to the pack is that the pain is finally gone and loyalty. Klaus has been very adamant that they be careful and protected, he didn’t just want an army he wanted his own family. Tyler was siding with Klaus not just because of the bond but because he’s seen how easily anyone who isn’t just blaring “Team Elena GO!”, is just thrown away by her and her groupies.
His uncle, a guy who used to babysit Tyler and all his childhood friends, a guy Elena knew of her entire life, a guy that was just being manipulated, and wasn’t even considered to be explain to what was really happening. His uncle had been brutally killed by Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert didn’t even bat an eye or bother to inform him, he had to learn from Caroline. Another point: Caroline Forbes, Elena’s long time childhood best friend. Elena knew about how Damon was just using Caroline for blood, information, and sex and yet she was still falling in love with him. Caroline was just staying on Elena’s side for loyalty and for that he could respect but she was giving it to the wrong person. Elena only ever thought about what made her happy, must be that Petrova blood. He cared for Caroline , a lot but he knew that they were better as friends. He’s heard and seen how Klaus ‘fancied’ her and was now contemplating on telling him of Damon’s actions. It’s what he was thinking after seeing Klaus’s recent behaviors with the younger Salvatore before his attention was snapped to the ebony haired girl.
What she was making smelled divine and had their inner wolves wagging their tails. She had enjoyed cooking, it would have been loved if not for her relatives. Though when she was making the steak she could see that the people around her were practically drooling. She couldn’t help but ask if they were hungry, they looked equivalent to children who were caught red handed and no one answered until a young man walked up and nodded. He looked around her age and had a minor blush on his face when his stomach had made itself known along with his pack. “Well, I’d be happy to cook up a meal for everyone but I’ll need some help if you lot don’t mind?”, the hybrid pack and Tyler looked between each other and back to Hailey. They all nodded sheepishly and were quickly put to work by the small teen, something in her just compelled them to following her orders. They were divided into four groups. Group one were put to chop up and boil the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Group two were to chop up vegetables and add seasoning for the salad. Group three, that had Tyler and Hailey, were to make a lot more steak along with a lot of beef. And finally, group four was in charge of baking dessert. The whole time they were joking around, smiles on their faces, and learning more about the new girl. They were hungry hybrids, along with her, three vampires, and her family coming they had enough prepared to feed an army.
The scene the vampires and babies walked in on was nothing short of shocking. They had been trailing Stefan and begging to hold the boys again but he was stubborn and wanted to keep them to himself for a little while longer. Then they had walked in the kitchen to check on Hailey and instead saw her setting up a feast with the hybrids on the very large dining table. All were in smiles and following her word without questioning her. Klaus hadn’t ordered them to do that. It was as if a huge family had taken over the kitchen. And at the center of it all was Hailey Potter. The vampires couldn’t help but marvel at how she easily was handling the pack and how the pack was showing a large amount of respect and awe that was usually reserved for Klaus.
Klaus had cleared his throat and everything halted. He and the others raised an eyebrow. If anything he was slightly envious that the young girl was able to to garner support from his pack. She smiled at them and walked up to Stefan who was still holding the boys. The hybrids were wondering why the younger Salvatore had babies with him. She shocked the hybrids by pecking a besotted Stefan on the lips and kissed the babies foreheads. She looked to the group of vampires and had a sheepish smirk, “Hungry?”, she dipped her finger in some mashed potatoes and proceeded to suck on it innocently.
Stefan’s eyes had darkened with lust at seeing her finger enter and exit her mouth but he shook his head. He couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything until he knew she was ready and healed. She had just given birth and he didn’t know much about childbirth or the female body but he knew that she needed some well deserved rest. They all moved to the very large table and most of everyone was trying to scramble for a seat near Hailey when the doorbell rang. Klaus had nodded to a hybrid to go answer the door, he was half expecting the mystic falls gang to have showed up and was surprised to see new people. He figured they must be Hailey’s family when she went to go greet them. The eldest man had pulled her into a worried hug while the not-so-much older woman looked on in slight amusement with an a year old child with a little sun hat on. There were two others a boy and girl who were the same age as Hailey looking over her then looking over the room. They all possessed eyes that were as haunted as the many soldiers he had seen returned from battle. However a familiar smell had caused him and the hybrids to tense up.
Stefan stood in order to greet Hailey’s family when the hug ended but promptly froze in place when he noticed that her uncle was staring at him with amber eyes. He’d almost forgotten, Uncle Moony is a werewolf. While vampires don’t really react to their presence, wolves definitely do. When her uncle noticed that he was still holding the boys, he started to growl at this Stefan was ready to hiss and clutch the boys close to him, Klaus and his hybrids were close to growling to show dominance. Moony was only able to come out some because of how close the full moon was and because of the threat of a vampire near his pack. He stopped when Hailey decided to step in between them. He (along with the rest of the room) was having a minor anxiety attack at her putting herself in harms way and was ready to rush over when she started speaking in a very soft voice.
“Easy Moony. Look at me.”, she was gesturing over her figure and Moony was tracking her every move. “I’m fine, okay? Everything is fine. He isn’t a threat, he’s protecting the boys and he protected me today. Moony, I need Remus back.”, he growled low at this still glaring at Stefan. He has become protective of what Remus has started to see as family, they were lack now.“Moony! He is mine just as I’m his. Please, he’s important to me and I need to show that to Remus too. I promise, no one in your pack is in danger, okay?”, only at this Moony bowed his head in submission and Remus came back. Hailey walked up to him, ignoring the tense atmosphere of the room, grabbed his shoulders and turned him slightly to Stefan. Both men had a befuddled face on but she continued with, “Uncle Remus, Tonks, Teddy-bear, Ron, and Hermione I’d like to introduce you to my mate, husband, and father of my children, Stefan Salvatore. Stefan I’d like you to meet ‘some’ of my family.”, almost in sync the room had stared and blinked at her. The silence was broken when a snort had broken free from Ron.
In breathless laughter, “Really sis, we need to work on your introductions.”, Ron said.
“I just figured it’s better to get it out…I already know everything about them!”,she said in a pout. Stefan had walked up to her chuckling in near exasperation and proceeded to nuzzle her neck to calm himself a bit. This caused the hybrids to break out of their stupor, why was she saying a vampire was her babies father? If it was before he was turned it would have been believable but Stefan was almost two hundred years old. A braver hybrid had stepped up to question her, Tyler.
“If you know everything than you know it’s not possible for Salvatore to be the father, right?”, he said in some trepidation. He liked the new girl, he hoped that he didn’t make the wrong assumption about her character.
“If I was anyone else it wouldn’t be. But unfortunately I’m the fates favorite chew toy. You see I’m not normal, just like how everyone else isn’t either.”, she might as well tell them now. Stefan said that Klaus and Rebekah stepped up to be his family and she didn’t want to have secrets between them. She learned from the war that secrets were unnecessary and just caused pain in the end. Everyone just raised an eyebrow at her and Stefan, expecting some more explaining. Ron and the others started to help themselves at the table. “You see I’m a witch, everyone in my family hear is a witch or wizard. But we’re different than the ones you’re used to. We refer to your kind as supernaturals and your witches as wiccans.”, still seeing some doubt on Klaus and Rebekah she retrieved her elder wand from her holster. She looked to Stefan who looked confused at her wand, “I never did show you how we were different.”
She saw that her family was ready to see her display as well, they wanted to see how well her magic was doing after the twins being born. She looked to Tyler who had a unimpressed look on his face. “Brace yourself puppy. EXPECTO PATRONUM!”, and just like that the room was filled with a sparkling light, out of the tip of Hailey’s wand emerged a stag. It was a very impressive sight as the stag had emerged walking calmly with a kingly like aura. It then jumped onto an invisible floor that was just above Tyler’s head that caused him to yelp. It trounced on midair before going back to Hailey and bowing its head to her feet and disappearing.
“Just so you know while not being as impressive as her we can all do that as well. Hailey is considered to be the most powerful witch but one thing is for sure we are not the same as the wiccans you have encountered.”, Hermione felt the need, as always to explain, she smacked Ron on the arm when he started to chuckle. He rolled his eyes fondly at her. “We are also not the only ones. There is a whole society of us that are hidden from what we consider the muggle or no-maj world.”, she added after another second of silence. It was finally broken by a hysterical Klaus.
“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!”, great. Stefan’s turn to deal with a slightly emotional supernatural creature.
