Aro stormed into the hall, his face a mask of anger. He had just spoken to Celene, who was in tears, and the sight of her distress fueled his fury. Spotting Klaus quickly approaching and with hi are his siblings, he marched over, his voice booming. "Klaus! What have you done?"
Klaus straightened, confusion crossing his features. "Aro, it's not what you think—"
"Not what I think?" Aro interrupted, stepping closer, eyes blazing. "Celene came to me crying! What kind of quarrel did you have to make her so upset?"
Klaus felt a uncomfortable in his stomach. "It's not a quarrel. She saw something she wasn't supposed to see."
Aro's expression darkened , misunderstanding taking root. "What do you mean she saw something? Is there another woman involved? Is that why she's in tears?"
"No, Aro!" Klaus exclaimed, frustration bubbling to the surface. "It's not like that! She didn't see me with another woman. She stumbled upon something much worse."
Aro crossed his arms, skepticism etched on his face. "Then what did she see?"
Klaus hesitated, glancing at Elijah and Kol for support. "She saw… us. The truth about who we are."
Aro's anger shifted into confusion. "What do you mean? What truth?"
"I warned you before you broke my trust Klaus!".
Dave at this time came over ordering Lucien to disperse all the servants and make sure no one interferes and comes over .
Dave was thinking it's a perfect opportunity for his purpose of Creation of Cold ones .
Dave "Hey Aro , why don't we sit down let Celene explain what she has to say ."
"why was she crying we need to know what is the problem here ."
Elijah also wanted to deal with it al at once .
Klaus nooded desperate for a chance of clarity "yes let me talk this through , we can clear this out ."
Under everyone's pursuation Aro came to Celene who was standing timidly behind the pillars silently.
As they settled into their seats, Klaus felt a flicker of hope. Maybe, just maybe, they could turn this moment of fear into a chance for understanding.
When Celene finally entered, her eyes were red from crying, and she looked between the group, confusion and fear etched on her face.
Dave felt like they are in a council meeting or something like the way they were serious except the girls who are supporting Celene, maybe we could form a Organization like Strix .
Back to the topic , Celene calmed down enough feeling the presence of Aro by her side and her best friends on the other .
Aro calmly asked "Celene tell me why were you crying ."
She still couldn't speak Dave had to secretly use Psychic to forcefully calm her down enough so that she could speak .
Celene "I don't understand what I saw but when I was roaming around the castle at night I passed by the dungeons and heard voices ."
Tristan was in his own thought when he heard dungeons where he used to torture the prisoners but over 2 months there have been cases of Prisoners missing from dungeons so this topic piqued his interest .
Celene continued, her voice barely a whisper while avoiding eye contact with Klaus "I went in to see what was making the sound then I saw – saw…."
She paused clearly scared to tell anything .
Klaus seeing this was very desperate as the woman he loved was terrified of him. "Celene do not fear I will explain everything , I love you will never hurt you."
Celene turned her head meeting Klaus's eyes seeing his sincerity she felt warm.
Aro "what is happening here is she scared of You Klaus tell me what happened Celene you do not need to fear ."
Celene finally told "I saw Klaus and His brother's were there they had fangs and Face covered in blood and terrifying eyes I was scared then ran away from there."
Tristan and Aro exchanged glances, the implications of her words sinking in. "Klaus," Aro said, his tone serious, "is what she saw true? Are you and your brothers…?"
Tristan's mind raced, the rumors of blood drinkers in the nearby villages flooding back to him. "There has been rumors of blood drinking monsters" .
As he got up from his seat and stood infront of aurora as he asked "These rumors started appearing roughly around the same time you and your siblings arrived in the castle," he noted, his voice low and cautious. "Is there a connection?".
As the tension in the room thickened, Dave decided it was time to intervene. He could sense the fear and misunderstanding swirling among them, he decided it was time to lure Aro into his plan of turning him into a Cold one and As Aro is so Ambitious he will come right in .
"Gentlemen," Dave began, his voice steady and authoritative, "I believe it's time we discuss the truth about the supernatural world—one that you've only glimpsed through rumors and fear."
Aro and Tristan exchanged curious glances, their interest piqued. "What do you mean?" Aro asked, skepticism momentarily set aside.
"What do you mean?" Aro asked, skepticism momentarily set aside.
"Do you believe in witches, wolves, and other supernaturals?" Dave replied, his tone earnest.
Aro was about to refute, but then he thought of Celene. She wouldn't lie about this matter; her conviction had always been strong. Meanwhile, Tristan had only heard stories and myths of the supernatural but had never experienced any of it firsthand.
As if sensing their hesitation, Dave raised his hand, and they watched in awe as a ball of flame began to flicker to life, floating effortlessly above his palm. The fire danced, casting an ethereal glow in the dimly lit room.
"Is this enough to convince you?" Dave asked, his eyes locked onto theirs, a mix of challenge and invitation.
Aro's skepticism faltered. "How are you doing that?"
Dave smiled, lowering his hand as the flame extinguished. "This is magic. I am a warlock—yes, male witches are called warlocks."
Tristan's eyes widened in disbelief. "A warlock? You mean this is real? You can actually perform magic?"
"Absolutely," Dave replied, his tone steady. "There are many forms of magic, and not all of them are benevolent. As a warlock, I have learned to harness certain powers, but it comes with its own set of challenges and responsibilities."
Aro still processing this new information. "So, you're saying that you're part of supernatural world? What else can you do?"
Dave chuckled softly. "More than you can imagine. I can manipulate elements, create illusions, and even commune with spirits. But it's not just about flashy tricks; it's about understanding the deeper forces at play in this world."
Celene, who had been quietly observing, finally spoke up. "And what about Klaus and his brothers? How do they fit into all of this?"
Dave "it would be better if Klaus tells you."
Celene turned to Klaus eyes filled with expectation Klaus seeing this after reassurance from His siblings began to tell their stories of how their mother turned them into vampires and what she saw yesterday night was them feeding on blood of the prisoners.'
