Gloria's Bar
Gloria is sitting at a table. Klaus and the others are waiting for her at the bar counter, bored, while Henrik and Rebekah are intimately enjoying themselves. Rebekah has been super clingy to Henrik since they left the boutique, not even letting Megan and Alicia take him for a moment.
"How much longer will you keep failing?" Klaus said, already bored with Gloria's failures. "We should start thinking about trying one of the other methods."
"It's hard to find something when you don't have anything to go on," Gloria snapped back, a little pissed off.
"So use me. I only wore it for a thousand years," Rebekah said with a flushed face, gasping for breath after separating from her kiss with Henrik. She reluctantly leaves Henrik's lap after kissing him briefly again and moves to sit on the table where Gloria was trying to cast her spell.
"All right, give me your hand, sweetheart," Gloria said, extending her hand.
'Damn,' Stefan cursed inside, worriedly looking at the situation.
"I can sense something," Gloria said with closed eyes, focusing on her spell. Then, she started chanting an incantation. After a short moment, Gloria drops Rebekah's hand and looks at Klaus, Stefan, Henrik, and then stops on Katherine.
"I found it," Gloria said, sure and thoughtful. What she thought at first would be a simple thing to just trick away the necklace from Rebekah has become her having no choice but to help the hybrid half-breed with what he wants.
"So where is it?" Rebekah smiled, eagerly awaiting the answer.
"It doesn't work like that, doll. I get images," Gloria replied, already amused by the chaos she was about to unleash with her next words, even if she didn't get anything she wanted. "And from what I saw, she had it," Gloria said with a smile, pointing to Katherine.
"Katerina! Where is my damn necklace? How did you get it?" Rebekah turned to look at Katherine in surprise before lashing out at her.
"I don't have it," Katherine quickly said, moving beside Henrik. "How could I? I was with everyone the whole time."
"She isn't the one who has it. There's a girl who looks the same as her with her friends... and one of them was the blonde doll that was with Henrik, the one who left," Gloria clarified, smiling widely and enjoying a little of the trouble but then saw the threatening look Henrik was sending her. "They were also talking about Stefan."
"The same as Katerina, and there was the blonde woman that was with Henrik?" Klaus muttered for a second, processing the information as his expression turned somber. "The doppelganger is alive. That's why I can't finish making the hybrids transition fully!"
Stefan closed his eyes, desperate at the turn of events.
"Wait. Don't rage, Dad!" Henrik quickly intercepted him mid-fury with a little smile. "Think things through clearly before you even consider snapping her neck."
"What do you mean?" Klaus forcefully calmed himself, considering his son's words.
"Oh." Klaus turned his head dejectedly for a second before snapping mad and grabbing a chair, breaking it apart against a table. "You mean that I need her blood to make the hybrids transition!"
Henrik gave him a smile, showing his white teeth. "Well, you have a new baby to take care of now."
"Damn!" Klaus said before breaking apart another chair.
"Hey! Stop destroying my place," Gloria raged, a throbbing vein on her neck. "The kid has some truth in his words. Maybe it is possible that you will need her blood to make them transition fully into hybrids, as you were under a curse differently from him, and there is always a loophole to a curse, and possibly that is the one."
"Fantastic, I can't kill the girl. But I want my necklace back, Nik!" Rebekah hissed, still pushing for her necklace.
"We'll get it back. After I have a few words with the girl," Klaus said, now calmer.
Stefan was visibly more relaxed now as he released a deep breath caught in his throat.
"We're leaving. We're going back to Mystic Falls, now!" Klaus said as he looked at everyone.
Gloria was a little happy hearing that, wishing they would leave already as she felt wronged all the time since they came, not having gotten anything of benefit while she was only giving and helping these unnatural beasts without a choice.
-------------------------------
After an unknown time later
Outside of the Salvatore house
"You came back, daddy," Caroline said as she threw herself into Henrik's arms. Then, she started kissing him passionately while caressing him.
"I'm back, baby girl," Henrik said between their kisses, squeezing her beautiful ass.
"Mhm," Caroline, enjoying his touch, became more eager as they circled their tongues.
"Stop it. You two can do this at another time," Klaus said, sighing at the situation in front of him.
"Yes, get away from him already," Rebekah said, a little jealous seeing the blonde girl eat her nephew so wildly.
"Fine. What do you want, my boyfriend's dad?" Caroline rolled her eyes, hearing this pair of dangerous siblings. She had already been informed by Henrik of the events so far before they came back.
"Where is my necklace?" Rebekah hissed at her.
"What necklace?" Caroline said with doubt.
"Don't act stupid, little girl. My nephew already told you that necklace is mine," Rebekah snapped angrily.
"I don't have it, and Elena doesn't have it either. Bonnie has it," Caroline said, shrugging, not fearing them as Henrik was embracing her.
"Who's Bonnie?" Rebekah asked uncertainly. "I don't care, I want my necklace back."
"She's their little pesky witchy friend. We'll get it back, don't worry," Klaus sighed. "Now, where is my lovely doppelganger?"
"You will not kill or harm her?" Caroline asked quietly but firmly at him.
"Don't worry, baby. I'm going to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Elena will not be harmed; it is just a little bit of her blood, like a blood donation," Henrik reassured Caroline as he kissed her. "Besides, he needs to take care of her like a precious thing if he wants to be able to make hybrids."
"I will not kill or harm the annoying brat. Now, where is she?" Klaus rolled his eyes, a little annoyed but calming himself. His son had already said to him that there was no need to come and antagonize these people in vain. She would willingly give her blood as she didn't have any other choice if she didn't want her close people to get killed or harmed, or even herself.
"Alright, I was just making sure. She is already waiting inside the house," Caroline said, more relaxed.
The group started moving to the entrance of the big house, with Henrik, Caroline, Katherine, Stefan, and one human-compelled nurse with things in her hand having been able to enter but not the rest.
"Stefan?" Klaus said as he couldn't put a foot inside the house.
"You can all come in," Stefan sighed and gave everyone permission.
Klaus smiled and stepped in. Once they were inside the big living room:
"I see you brought all your new friends into our house, brother," Damon said, not liking one bit what was about to happen.
"What choice do we have?" Stefan said, shrugging.
"None," Klaus said, smiling. "Where is she?"
"I'm here," Elena said as she appeared, going down the stairs from the second floor.
"There you are! You put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart," Klaus said as he observed the doppelganger that frustrated his plans. "The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids."
"I haven't been able to do that, and it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing," Klaus continued while standing face-to-face with her.
"You said that you will not kill me," Elena said fearfully and nervously.
"And he will not, don't worry, Elena," Henrik said as he appeared beside them both and took Elena's hand. "Come."
Elena was surprised and delighted to see Henrik again. The moment he took her hand, she felt electrified. "Henrik, you're back! I thought maybe we would never meet again."
Henrik smiled as he sat down on the couch with her. "Did you miss me, Elena? I must have given you a strong first impression then."
Elena blushed at that, but she had actually really liked the young man since they first met, and since then, he had been helping her with Stefan. Thinking about Stefan, who had been a disappointment since he left on his own to be with Klaus and couldn't bring him back, she gave him a look, but Stefan was uninterestedly doing something else. Irritated for a moment, Elena grabbed Henrik's hand strongly until she relaxed, feeling it while looking at him. A radiant smile was on her face; she really liked Henrik. The feeling was so strong when she was with him, more than with Stefan or Damon. She still couldn't believe that Henrik was actually Klaus's son and that was how he was a Mikaelson.
Klaus's sudden interruption from the other couch in front made Elena come back. "I will not kill you. But I do have ways of making you suffer if you don't cooperate."
"Stop terrorizing her, Dad. She already said she would cooperate," Henrik said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh, Elena. I see you are changing your new object of love already," Katherine said as she dropped onto Henrik's lap while looking at Elena's hand that so strongly clung to Henrik's. "Already aiming for my new man? Tired of the pair of Salvatore brothers?"
"Wh- What? No, stop talking nonsense, Katherine," Elena snapped angrily at her but still refused to let go of Henrik's hand.
"Nonsense, you say... I see..." Katherine sarcastically smiled at her from above, seeing that she said one thing but meant another.
To make her irked, Katherine took Henrik's face into her hands and started giving him a loud and wet tongue kiss as she moaned uninhibited on his lap while looking at Elena.
Elena squirmed a little, frustrated at the events in her seat as she gripped Henrik's hand harder and got closer to him. She saw Katherine, who looked exactly like her, be so intimate with Henrik, imagining that she was instead on his lap doing that.
"Stop it, Katherine," Klaus said, getting irritated and bored already with all the children's play. "We will take a bit of your blood, little girl. Alright?"
"You are so boring, Klaus," Katherine said, not intending to leave her man's lap but stopping her kissing nonetheless.
"Now, if you are a sweetie and donate your blood, we will finish the matter faster," Klaus urged.
After a moment, Klaus took a few bags of Elena's blood and left to test if it worked on his wolves.
Elena was tiredly resting against Henrik's body while Katherine sported a sarcastic look that she sent to Damon and Stefan.
"Here, drink a little bit; it will make you feel better soon," Henrik said as he bit the wrist of his free hand and offered his blood to Elena's lips.
Elena looked at it for a moment, hesitating.
"Go on, it will make you feel better," Henrik urged with a smile.
Katherine and the rest of their girls were amused, seeing that, a little bit jealous of her because she was about to drink the blood of their man, which was theirs to enjoy.
"Absolutely not, don't drink it, Elena," Stefan worriedly said quickly. "Not from him, drink Caroline's, mine, or Damon's instead."
"Yes, don't drink his," Damon also jealously snapped quickly, seeing how close Elena was to Henrik, whom she got to know too soon. Then he moved beside her, intending to remove her from the seat. "Drink mine."
"Such a pair of jealous brothers," Henrik chuckled, amused. "And why are you so worried, Stefan? My blood is the same as any other vampire's."
Stefan was about to retort that it wasn't the same as he saw how the girls moaned in joy as they feasted on him all the time, but Elena latched onto Henrik's wrist at that moment.
Elena, being angry and disappointed at Stefan, didn't want to hear anything from him. Now he appeared worried when all the time she was after his shadow trying to make him come back, and now he was here acting like that. Damon was only being Damon, trying to take his chance, not giving either of them the pleasure. She quickly latched her lips onto Henrik's bloody wrist and started drinking his blood.
The moment Elena felt it, her whole tired body trembled for a moment before she started tasting the best thing she had the pleasure of tasting in her mouth. She loved the taste; her body was squirming in delight, but then she felt this joy even more strongly as she started experiencing pleasure from it. Her body couldn't stop enjoying what she was drinking, so she drank and drank without care, lapping drop by drop with her little tongue from Henrik's wrist until there was no more. Her pants were drenched in her juices from so much pleasure she got from tasting the delicacy that was Henrik's blood, feeling invigorated and full of energy after doing it.
"This... this isn't like any other vampire blood," Elena said with cloudy eyes after she reluctantly removed herself from Henrik's wrist.
"No, it isn't. It's my man's blood what you tasted. He isn't any vampire either," Katherine said, amused.
Stefan looked dejected after seeing Elena have that kind of pleasure and enjoy so strongly Henrik's blood after tasting it, and Damon was fuming after seeing what happened.
"What now?" Elena asked quietly as she shyly licked her lips for any traces of Henrik's blood that was in her.
"Nothing. There is nothing; keep living your life normally. My father will not bother you or anybody if you give him some of your blood every once in a while to be happy. I can also make hybrids with my blood, but he doesn't like that he would not be in control of them if we were to use mine because they would obey me instead," Henrik explained with a little smile.
"There is one thing, little thief. Get my necklace back," Rebekah said at this moment, bearing her eyes on Elena's face. "It is mine; it doesn't belong to you."
"Who is she? And what necklace is she talking about that I took?" Elena said weirdly as she looked at the blonde girl.
"She is my aunt, Rebekah, Elena," Henrik presented her. "And the necklace that you use all the time is hers."
"Why? Stefan gave it to me," Elena said, not wanting to give her necklace.
"Because it's mine, and I will tear it from the hands of whoever has it," Rebekah hissed at her with her fangs out.
"She is right, little Elena. Stefan took that necklace from Rebekah back in the '20s. At that time, Stefan was a wild ripper without humanity, and that personality was attractive to dear Rebekah that she innocently involved with him," Katherine explained, helping her man in making the breach between Elena and the pair of brothers bigger. As she noted how Henrik had an interest in the girl, while she may maybe give a helping hand to the brothers if they were to die because of their past relationship, she didn't care about ruining their relationship with Elena.
"Elena, it wasn't his call to give the necklace away, and Rebekah isn't trying to rip you apart because I asked her nicely," Henrik said to her as he caressed her hand. "Will you give it back to her? It's something dear to my aunt."
"I will ask Bonnie to return it to me, and I will give it back," Elena said quietly after a moment. She didn't want to give it back but felt that she didn't have many choices. Besides, maybe with this, she would be able to move on from Stefan, and inside her, she also wanted to please Henrik a little bit as she felt so attracted to him. She wished inside her heart that she was instead of Katherine in his lap so intimately.
"Elena," Stefan said, ashen-faced.
"What, Stefan? It's Rebekah's after all. Didn't you keep saying that I meant nothing to you anymore?" Elena said back. "Shouldn't you be going after your eternal loyal master Klaus right now? Wasn't that your excuse to leave on your own when no one asked you in the first place? Klaus didn't even seem to care about you a moment ago."
"Elena, I promised to be loyal to him to save Damon," Stefan stiffly said.
Damon was irritated and left the place to somewhere else.
"Come on, Elena. Let's go; we need to prepare the high school for the senior prank night. We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year," Caroline pulled Elena out of the place as the tension was palpable, and Stefan also left to god knows where.
"So, where is our room?" Rebekah said as she pulled out her nephew from Katherine.
------------------------
Guys, I'm hitting a wall with my writing. There are some aspects I'm struggling with, like giving Alicia and Megan their own lives—Megan starting college or Alicia in her final year of high school—and then there's Katherine. What the hell did Katherine even do in the whole show besides running around and seeming to be involved in events? I'm not a fan of how they're always tagging along with the MC, but I don't know how to give them their own lives! I don't want the MC bed to be filled with five or more girls all the time!
I was considering having Alicia in her senior year at Mystic Falls High School and sending Megan to Whitmore College. Meanwhile, they work and get paid with Klaus controlling the pack of hybrids. And Katherine? I don't know, maybe send her to New Orleans to look for Hayley as planned, but what then? I seem to have hit my limit of imagination as an author when it comes to the harem part. I know how to move the plot forward and what to write, but dealing with the harem is driving me nuts, hehe. What do I do with the girls, guys?! How do I make them go away and come back when I need them, so I can catch new ones? 😂😂
Also, any suggestions on how to make the MC have money? He's a street kid with no cash at the moment, and I'm stuck on that too.
By the way, I have a spoiler for you all of what I think will probably happen in the next chapter: Hope is waiting in Henrik's room at the Salvatore house... Damon has been compelled and is unaware of this. Therefore, it's even more crucial to keep girls away from Henrik's side! I need the mc to have some alone time with her, or at most with Rebekah, but I'm not sure what to do!
So yeah, we'll see when the next chapter comes out... forget about having chapters every few days. If you don't see anything in the next couple of weeks, start worrying, lol. See you later.😱
