5 | TELLING THE TRUTH

Arriving home I see my twin pacing infront of the mansion with dead vampires in a pile in the front yard. As he notices us he speeds up to us and if I was anyone else, I would have been scared of the look on his face. Oh boy, this is gonna go fansastic, I thought to myself.

"Where the hell have you been?" He asked angrily, pointing a finger at Hayley - who looks like she wants to be anywhere but here, about to receive a scolding from my twin brother.

I rolled my eyes at him before I listened to him throw fit as well as throwing a final body onto a small pile in the front courtyard while he berates Rebekah and Hayley for their behavior. It wasn't even Rebekah's fault, we just got there in time to save Hayley.

"This is why I told you never to leave the house. Werewolves are banned in the Quarter. I had a plan, and your little nighttime stroll put it all in peril!" He shouted at the two angrily, knowing that I would handle him his ass if he tried it with me. "Leave him!" Rebekah had started walking toward the pile of bodies- one of them was still alive- but at Klaus' last command, she stops.

"You've done enough, don't you think? Leaving a trail of bodies like a road map to my door?" He asks harshly.

"Okay, she was trying to help, Nik." I defended her, knowing what happened and my twin glared at me but didn't say anything else.

"If I hadn't, everyone here would be screwed. And don't give me that crap about having a plan. You've had all the time in the world to execute a plan, and no one's seen you do a damn thing! Elijah made a deal to protect your child, so that it could save you from your selfish, rotten self. But you obviously don't give a damn about the child or Elijah, because what have you done to honor it?" Bekah says getting into his face. I may have just defended her, but only I get to do that. I speed between them and I push her to the ground.

"First off all only I get to that," I told my sister, glaring at her as she got back to her feet again. Then I turned to my twin, "And a, Nik lay off a little would you?"

"I have done everything. Let me spell it out for you, shall I? From the day I arrived, Marcel hasn't trusted me. From Day One, he's had his vampires ingest toxic vervain which, as you know, little sister, protects them from my mind control. I needed a spy, someone on the inside with me who Marcel would never suspect. So, I created a Day Zero and got there first. Marcel had just lost six vampires, thanks to your little murder spree, and he needed new recruits. So, I made the new one mine, before he'd had even a drop of vervain. But we all know the real way to a man is through his heart, so..." He explains and everything starts to fall into place. Why he went out with Marcel so much, why he didn't tell me things. He wants to take back New Orleans. Sure, I love Marcel but I love my family more. Always will.

"The blonde bartender." I said in realization and Nik nods at me before grabbing the vampire that's still alive from the pile.

"And this one- I'm gonna drain him of vervain, compel him to believe his mates found religion and moved to Utah, so that he can explain to Marcel why he lost three more vampires tonight." He says and I snorted.

"Religion in Utah? Surely you can do better?" I teased playfully with raised eyebrows and I see a small smile tug at his lips before it disappears. He turns around and drags the vampire into the house; Rebekah, Hayley and I follow him inside.

"Does anyone have any more questions? No? Good, because I have a question. Hayley, what were you doing in the bloody French Quarter in the first place? Answer me!" He shouts at her and I wondered the same thing.
