❝Something tells me we'll have so much fun together.❞

♠

     BONNIE'S EYES ARE STILL closed as she concentrates on pulling out every single hold Klaus has on her. She continues to dive in deeper earning a loud scream to escape her mouth once again.

Paris is now lying on the floor with her body covered in sweat. Her face damp with not just sweat but also tears.

"I'm almost done. Just hang on, Paris." Bonnie assures her. But that didn't make Paris feel any better, instead, she felt herself slipping away from consciousness. Her eyesight is spinning and blurry. Her hearing is unclear. Her head is throbbing. And she can no longer feel her body.
"It's done." Bonnie said cheerfully. The smile on her face is wiped out completely the second she saw Paris lying on the floor with her eyes half-closed.

"Hey. Hey. Stay with me. You need to stay awake, okay? It's finished. You're okay now." Bonnie said as she strokes Paris's hair lightly.

Her heavy breathing starts to go back to normal and she starts to relax. Her eyes are still half-closed but she's still fighting the urge to close her eyes and sleep. Earlier this day, Bonnie told her that what they're going to do is very dangerous because she's human. Bonnie repeatedly warned Paris to stay awake no matter what. Because there is a possibility that she may not wake up due to the excessive alterations in her brain.

The front door opens up and it reveals Damon with Lucien on his shoulders. He closes the door behind him and lazily drops Lucien to the ground.

He immediately noticed the half-conscious Paris on the floor and he runs towards the human brunette to see what happened.

"What happened?" Damon said as calmly as possible. Bonnie feels strange about Damon's calmness since she always knew Damon as one who would always act without thinking or without impulse control.

"The spell is done. But she barely survived it." Bonnie said. Damon lifts Paris up and he could feel her body covered in sweat but he didn't care. He places her on the couch beside him and Paris smiles at him.

"Thanks." She said. The raven-haired vampire simply gave a small smile before he turns away from her and towards the unconscious Lucien who is no longer unconscious.

"Bloody hell that hurts." Lucien said as he regains consciousness.
Bonnie only notices now that Damon had brought home an unfamiliar man. "Who is he?"

"He's Lucas."

"It's Lucien, you puny vampire."

"Don't care." Damon told Lucien who gave him a glare after his statement.
Damon turns to Bonnie who is still confused about what's happening.

"Call the others, we have news."

♠

"What's this about?" Stefan asked his brother. The whole gang is complete and are now gathered in the living room.

"About me." Lucien made his presence known to all of them as he said that cheerfully with a big grin on his face.

The others however, doesn't seem too cheerful since they have no idea who that man is.

"And you are?" Ric asked.

"Lucien Castle. CEO of the Kingmakers Land Development." Lucien said, with a grin yet again.

Ric now turns to Damon who is standing beside Lucien with his arms crossed. "What does a businessman have to do with all of this?" he asked.

"Oh don't be fooled by my exquisite exterior form. I may look like a billionaire from the outside but on the inside, well, I'm dead." Lucien said. Damon followed his statement with, "He's a vampire."

"A thousand-year-old vampire. But we'll get into that in a moment." Lucien added.

The room suddenly feels heavy due to the tension building after knowing a thousand-year-old vampire is in the room.

"You know Klaus?" Elena asked. Lucien, unlike earlier, gave a small smile before he answered her question. "We were friends, he and I, just for a short while. But-uhmm-enough to know a lot of his family's secrets." He answered.

"You wanted an audience. So, tell us. How did you meet Klaus?" Damon said while he approaches the table with bottles of Bourbon on it. He grabs the bottle by the neck and opens it to pour some in a crystal glass.

"I was his first." Lucien simply started. Damon, who was drinking bourbon, suddenly spits out his drink the moment Lucien said that.

Lucien himself is wearing a confused face as he recalls what he just said. "That came out wrong." He said.

The others awkwardly shifted in their seats as they didn't know how to react to what Lucien just said.

"You and Klaus?!" Damon said in shock.

"No. Bloody hell no! I mean I was his first vampire that he ever turned. My God, you lads are disgusting." Lucien said to clear things up.

"You could've just said that already instead of saying-never mind. Can you just continue?" Caroline said and Lucien agreed.

"Right. Well, in 1002 I was once a servant for the Count de Martel in Southern France. They were a very wealthy family. I was instructed to escort the de Martel's guests to their castle when the Mikaelson Family attacked them. Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, and Kol. I hid as they fed on the guests and once they found me, I quickly offered my help. They were planning on posing as the guests I was escorting. I said that they needed me if they want it to look more believable. And they accepted my help. I brought them to the castle. Told them what they needed to know and we managed to pull it off."

Damon faked yawning as a sign to speed things up. Lucien only rolled his eyes and continues on with his story.

"Tristan de Martel and I got into quite a predicament. And one of his guards was forced to stab me in the back, literally. Then I died. Until I wasn't. I had Klaus's blood in my system. I got the impression that I wasn't the only one surprised by my resurrection. And at that moment, they knew how to turn humans into vampires, and I was their first turn." Lucien explained.

"If you guys were such good friends, why are you helping us now? What happened?" Elena asked.

"That is a story for another time." Lucien simply said.

While the others seem to be interested in the story, Damon thinks of it as a snooze fest.

"I appreciate the drama but can you provide information that could actually help us on killing Klaus?" Damon said.

"I do actually..." Lucien started, "... After our... squabble, I followed them around. Gathering information on how to kill them without the white oak stake but it was impossible. However, I did learn something that you lads are gonna find interesting." Lucien said.

Damon narrows his eyes while the others pay close attention to the next words that would come out of Lucien's mouth. "Enough with the suspense, Lucien." Damon said.

"If one successfully defeated an original, his entire sireline will die with him." Lucien said with a straight face. The piece of information is questionable for them therefore they had to ask for proof or at least a source to know that it's true.

"And where did you learn that?" asked Stefan.

"I came across a coven of witches who studied that family for years."

"That's it?" Stefan said. Lucien felt offended by Stefan's rudeness causing Lucien to lash out.

"If you think I'm lying, I assure you I am not. Do you think I enjoy following that awful family for a millennium? I should've killed them the moment I came into the possession of a white oak stake, but in case you haven't noticed, they're still alive because I can't kill them without me being dragged down with them as well." Lucien said.

The others can now see Lucien's anger and frustrations towards the matter and it made them rethink the whole situation, well at least Paris did.

"I believe you." Paris suddenly blurted out. She was silent for a long time since she's resting. All of then turns to the human brunette and furrow their eyebrows in confusions as to why she would believe anything he says without proof.

"You do?" Damon asked. Paris turns to the baffled vampire and said, "I do. It's obvious that he's sick of being powerless against the man who betrayed him. And he wants to do something about it. I know that feeling all too well, wouldn't you agree?" Paris told Damon, somewhat relating Lucien and Klaus's situation with Paris and Damon's.

Damon didn't say anything and instead he just swallowed hard and maintains his eyes on the brunette.

"Thank you, Paris." Lucien said. Paris furrows her eyebrows when he called her by her name since she was sure neither one of them mentioned her name ever since he got here.

"How do you know my name?" Paris asked. Lucien squints his eyes at her then looks at Damon before responding. "I take it you didn't tell them, Salvatore?" He asked.

"No one needs to know how much of a stalker you are, Castle." Damon retorted. Lucien grins widely as he finds it amusing that he called him by his last name.

"Something tells me we'll have so much fun together." Lucien said while he pats Damon's shoulder. Damon though, annoyed at his gesture, moves his shoulder to remove Lucien's hand from him. Everyone can see the aggravation in Damon's face and Paris can't help but laugh in her head at his current state.

♠

The gang decided to make Paris go to her usual routine and lure Klaus out of his mansion. After several fights with Damon, Paris finally went to the pet shelter since she does volunteer work there every week.

She smiles brightly at the side of her favorite kitten to play with. "Hey Callie. You missed me?" She said. Callie is a Bengal kitten whom Paris wishes to adopt but Meredith wouldn't allow her.

The kitten meows and Paris reach for her through the bars of the cage. Callie willingly brushes herself against Paris's hands and purrs, making Paris smile widely.

"Why not adopt the little creature?" Lucien suddenly asked from behind her and it startled Paris making her jump slightly. Paris rolls her eyes at him and looks back at the kitten.

"My sister won't let me." Paris answered.

Lucien scoffs and said, "So? The creature obviously likes you. And you most certainly do as well."

"Meredith would kill me."

"Then I'll kill her."

Paris turns to Lucien and gives him a glare as a warning. Lucien holds both his hands up and smiles. "Kidding."

"May I remind you that Klaus is about to get here any moment?" Paris said.

Lucien nodded in realization. "Right. I should hide then." And with that he walks away.
