Hi. Tala here. I have a new story. *sing song* Anyway I don't own Vampire Diaries and enjoy. Also Talia is kind of a self insert. No that is still not my real name. Every part of Talia is sort of me. Except I have four siblings not one. I joke around with me family and say that we could be the Originals. Except we are the opposite of them. One boy and four girls. My brother would be the oldest and would be Finn. I have an older sister who would be Elijah. I would be Niklaus. One of my younger sisters would be Kol my baby sis would be Rebekah. Matty though is an actual nickname I gave to one of my sisters. The other one I call Danny. My older sister and I are not close. So sorry. You didn't get here to read my life story. Enjoy this.

"No! You stupid dumb bitch!" The words exploded from the mouth of a twenty year old girl. Talia Young had just watched season four episode twelve of the Vampire Diaries. Talia was curled up on her bed clutching her phone desperately to her chest. A tear slipped down her cheek. "That stupid bitch. I hate her." She mumbled.

A low chuckle came from the doorway. "Watching Vampire Diaries again, Talia?" Talia's little sister stood leaning against the door jam.

"Shut up, Matilda." Talia snapped.

Matilda wrinkled her nose. "I hate that name. Please call me Matty?" She fluttered her eyelashes.

Talia laughed. "Okay. Fine, Baby sis."

Matty scowled. "Stop that."

Talia held her hands up in surrender. "Alright. Did you need something?"

"Yes. A package came for you. It is in the hall." Matty pointed with her thumb behind her.

"A package?" Talia wrinkled her nose. "I didn't order anything." Talia put her phone aside and hopped out of her bed. She was curious now. Talia ripped open the package. She gasped at the necklace inside. It looked similar to the necklace Bonnie had to channel her expression magic. "Cool." She clutched it in her hand.

Matty looked confused. "Where did that come from?" Matty recognized it vaguely. While she watched Vampire Diaries once upon a time, she wasn't a huge fan of the show.

Talia started glowing.

Matty widened her blue eyes. "What is happening to you?"

Talia shrugged. "What's wrong?"

"You're glowing. Talia!" Matty screamed as her sister started fading in and out.

Talia looked at her arms as she noticed the glowing. She looked up, panicked. "Matty!"

Talia flickered for the last time then blinked out like static on an old TV screen.

"Talia!" Matty said, tears streaming down her cheeks. The necklace dropped to the ground. Matty scrambled to pick it up. "Work. Work damn it!" The necklace stayed dormant. Matty frantically looked at her arms. "No!" Matty wiped tears from her eyes. "Talia." She whimpered. "Where did you go?"

Talia groaned at the head rush she got. She blinked her eyes and looked around her. "No way." She breathed. She was standing outside the Gilbert house as Kol Mikaelson knocked on the door. Talia hid in the shadows as she watched.

"I have considered your offer for a truce." Kol said, brushing aside the strange feeling he got. He paused for a moment, enjoying the look on the doppelganger's face. "Request denied."

The door immediately shut.

"Too late! I've already been invited in!" Kol kicked the door open. He was furious. He knew something like this was about to happen. He looked around and saw that the doppelganger and her brother were gone. "Hide and seek? Fine by me." Kol searched around the main floor for the two humans. Kol got out his phone and called his darling brother Niklaus.

"Well, if it isn't the happy homicidal maniac." Nik's voice could be heard through the phone.

Kol ignored the greeting and snapped back at his brother, while keeping an eye out for the girl and her brother. "Did you know that your darling former blood bag and her brother are trying to kill me?"

"What?" Came his brother's voice.

Kol got angrier. "Don't pretend you are not in on it. Your obsession to find the cure clearly trumps any sibling loyalty you once felt."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Klaus was confused. What was going on?

Kol growled softly. So his brother was still going to play innocent. Fine. "I am going to rip off Jeremy's arms and kill Elena just for sport. Then, I'm coming for you." Kol hung up on his brother.

Kol spies the doppelganger at the top of the staircase. Before he can react she shot an arrow into his thigh. Elena disappeared at vampire speed. Kol groaned and pulled the offending arrow out of his leg. He chased after the baby vampire. He followed Elena into a room as she shoved a dresser to block his path. Kol smirked. He was stronger than her. Does she really think that will stop him? Kol pushed his way into the room. Elena disappears into another room. Kol kicked the door open to find her gone. Two other doors are his options. Kol choses one and punches the wood door open. Within seconds a stake comes flying at him. Kol catches it one handed. "Missed." Kol taunts. Jeremy shoots another one. Kol caught it as well. Elena open fires with a pistol. Kol heard the doppelganger yelling at her brother to leave. Kol threw one of the stakes in his hands at Elena and catches her in the thigh. Payback. Kol smirks. Now to catch the boy. Kol runs at vampire speed out of the room and in front of Jeremy. Kol snaps his fist out and catches the boy in the face. Kol then picks him up and throws him down the stairs. Elena was then on Kol's back. Kol sighs. Again? He is stronger than her. Kol, with little effort, slung Elena into the wall. Kol looks around for some wood and and spies the stair railing. Kol ripped off a post and shoves it through the doppelganger's stomach and into the wall behind her. That should hold her for a bit. Kol walks over to Jeremy. "Now, about that arm." Kol goes down the stairs and jumps over Jeremy's legs. He grabbed both feet and pulled him down the steps into the kitchen. Good place as any. Nice flat surface. He straps the boy to the counter. Kol looks around the kitchen for a knife good enough for the job. He finally found a cleaver. "Now, like I said, I don't fancy the hunter's curse, so I am just going to chop off your arm. But don't worry. I will heal you up with a bit of blood after." Kol places his hand on the Gilbert boy's head. "Sorry about the sting. Now which arm is it? Is it left or right?" Kol thinks for a moment. "I'll just chop off both just to be safe." Kol decides. Kol gets ready to chop when Elena speeds out of nowhere and shoves his arm to the side. Kol growls in frustration. Now he has to deal with the doppelganger again. The girl snatches the knife out of his hands and slams it into his shoulder. Kol yelled in pain. Kol noticed the Gilbert boy getting out of his restraints and go for the water spout. Kol scoffed inwardly. What a little water going to do? Kol found out as the vervain water burned his skin.

Suddenly a girl barges in the room and throws herself between the water and him. "Go! Get out of here!" She yells. "I can't hold them off for long."

Elena stares shocked at the girl. Elena snapped out of it and threw the girl to the side. Elena snatches the stake and tosses it to Jeremy. "Now!" She yells.

Kol is stunned that a mere human was trying to save him. He doesn't snap out of it until the said human throws herself between him and the stake taking it directly in her shoulder.

"I said go! You can't win this right now." She said strongly, despite the pain.

Kol quickly surveys the situation. The Gilbert boy was trying to get the stake from the girl's shoulder while Elena was getting lost in the bloodlust. Kol looked down at the girl in front of him. She was pleading with her eyes for him to go. Kol made a choice when he heard his brother coming. Somehow, this girl knew something. Until he figured out what he wasn't letting her out of his sight. "Not without you, darling." He carefully snatched the girl to his chest and took off out of the house, past his brother and ran towards the Mikaelson mansion.

Talia felt dizzy. Her vision was fading in and out. She heard a voice saying, "Hold on, Darling, we are almost there." Talia blacked out.

Talia gasped as she came back. Something coppery was dripping in her mouth. Talia shuddered in disgust and shoved the offending thing away.

"Good. Now you are all better, you can explain what was that. Why did you throw yourself in the way?" Kol Mikaelson's face was in her's observing her carefully.

Talia groaned. "Back up. You are in my space."

Kol showed his vampire fangs in her face. "Tell me who you are? What are you doing here? And who sent you?" He yelled.

Talia stared back unimpressed.

Kol stared at her. He was impressed a tiny bit.

The girl sighed. "Fine. Since you healed me after I saved your life. I guess I can do one more thing for you. My name is Talia Young. I don't know why I am here, and I don't know who sent me. Are you happy now?"

"No. How did you know about Little Gilbert and the doppelganger's plan?" Kol asked, suspicious of her intentions.

Talia had a deer in the headlights look on her face. Talia thought for a moment. She sighed. "Alright. I am not from this world. I don't mean like an alien I mean a different universe. This is all a TV show."

Kol barked out an incredulous laugh then became serious. "You are lying. Tell me the truth now." He tried compelling her.

Talia scoffed. "That is the truth."

Kol's eyes widened in shock. He grew angry. He picked Talia up and slammed her against the wall. He placed his hand on her throat. "Why can't you be compelled? Are you on vervain?"

"It's kinda hard to talk with you choking me." Talia forced out.

"Never mind. I will check." Kol made his vampire face show and sank his fangs into Talia's neck. He slurped her blood for a few mouthfuls. He expected struggling and screaming but all she did was flinch with his fangs went into her skin. He pulled back confused. "You are not on vervain." Kol licked his lips getting the last of the blood. "Are you a witch?"

"No. Just an ordinary human." Talia said.

Kol laughed. "Trust me Darling, you are not ordinary. For one, you can't be compelled. For two, no sane person would throw themselves on a vampire to save their life and take a stake for them."

"I said I was ordinary, not sane." Talia shrugged. "Where are we?" Talia wandered around the room.

"So you admit you are insane?" Kol asked.

"Hey, you aren't exactly sane either." Talia deflected.

"So the TV thing is crap. You are just mad." Kol stated.

"'Long time brother.'" Talia quoted.

"What?" Kol said, confused.

"Those were the first words you said to Niklaus after Elijah undaggered you after you were in the coffin since 1905. You were in there for a hundred years. Niklaus had the hunter's curse for 52 years 4 months and 9 days. Rebekah, after being undaggered by Elijah as well, threw a crystal vase into a painting. Finn stabbed a dagger into Klaus' hand. This was all right before your mother showed up. Esther then linked you all together. You met Klaus' new plaything at the Mystic Grill. She came up to distract Klaus and she said she would rather die of thirst than share a drink with him. You said she was a tasty little thing. Is that proof enough?" Talia pointed out. Talia picked up a trinket on the dresser of the bedroom she was in.

Kol snapped out of his shock and took the nick nack from her hands and set it gently back where it belonged. "How did you get here?"

"I don't know." Talia shrugged. "One minute I am with my little sister opening a package, the next I am glowing and end up outside the Gilbert house."

Kol thought for a moment. "Do you know what's about to happen?"

Talia looked warily at him. "Yes."

"Okay then, it's simple." Kol decided. He couldn't have this girl out there ruining his plans. Besides, she knew what was going to happen. She could be useful.

"Simple?" Talia questioned. She had already had her mini fangirl freak out. She was waiting until she was alone with no vampires nearby to have a full blown one.

"You help me, I help you. I believe the term they use nowadays is 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine'?" Kol offered.

Talia snorted. "Sure. Help you with what?"

"Silas." Kol said firmly. He wasn't in the mood for games.

Talia stilled at that name. She thought of everything that was about to happen. Stefan being locked in a coffin underwater for a year, Jeremy dying, Katherine dying, Bonnie dying from bringing back the Veil. Talia though for a moment. She could care less about Jeremy. He was going to kill Kol. Katherine on the other hand, Talia has always like her. She was by far the most interesting of the three doppelgangers. Also she has always liked Stefan. She was so mad at Elena for doing what she did to him.

"You will help me with what? As far as I know I don't need any help." Talia said stubbornly.

Kol rolled his eyes. "Don't play games with me, Darling. You are telling me you don't want to go back home to your sister? I have connections. I can help you go back home."

Talia frowned. "Why do you want me gone so bad?"

Kol ignored her. "What do we have to do to stop them from getting the cure?" Kol faintly heard a door slam. Rebekah's voice floated up to his ears.

Talia barely opened her mouth when Kol slammed her against the wall with his hand over her mouth. "Quiet." He hissed. "Bekah is here."

"Kol?" Rebekah yelled, tearfully. "Are you here?"

Rebekah was angry with Elena and Jeremy. They tried to kill her brother. No way did Rebekah buy that bullshit of him attacking Jeremy. Until she heard it from his mouth he was innocent. "I am not leaving until you talk to me Kol. I know you are here with someone. I can hear their heartbeat. Leave your snack and come here."

Talia was furious. "Snack!" She whisper yelled. "Just who the hell does your sister think I am."

Kol looked shocked. "You can hear her, Darling?"

Talia leveled a glare at him. "My name is Talia. Not Darling."

Kol faked a look of apology. "Sorry, Love."

Talia growled the best she could for a human. "You are infuriating."

Kol laughed at her pathetic attempts of growling. Kol listened in as his sister searched the house. "Here's what we are going to do, Love. You are going to dagger my sister."

Talia looked shocked. "Why can't you do it? I might get hurt. After all, I am not ordinary remember?"

Kol shook his head. "Trust me, Love. She will suspect me right from the start. You on the other hand can get her right away."

Talia threw a pillow at him from the bed. "My name is Talia."

Kol dodged the projectile and rolled his eyes. "Are you with me or not, Talia?"

Talia thought for a moment. She really wanted to be friends with Rebekah but Kol was helping her. "Fine." She sighed. "Where are the daggers?"

Kol snorted. "Like I am telling you. Wait here." Kol flashed through the house for a bit before returning to his room and retrieving a dagger from the box in his room that Talia was playing with before. He was lucky the box was spelled shut and only he could open it.

"Kol!" Rebekah yelled. "Get down here now! I can hear you running in the house."

Kol pressed the dagger into Talia's hands. "I am trusting you. Don't stab me in the back or I will make sure you never return home." Kol then sped off to face Rebekah. "Hello, dear sister. Come to finish the job that the doppelganger started?"

"Kol." Rebekah's eyes filled with tears. Rebekah ran and engulfed her brother in a hug.

Kol stood still. He didn't know how to respond. Kol tentatively placed his hands around her body.

Talia snuck up on the two of them.

"I can't believe you are okay. The doppelganger said that you attacked Jeremy and they acted in self defense." Rebekah pulled herself out of the hug.

Kol snarled. "That lying strumpet." His eyes flashed. "They lured me into their house. They set a trap for me that nearly succeeded. All for a stupid hunter's mark."

Rebekah looked shocked. "How did you escape?"

Talia sighed and set the dagger down in a hidden place she found. "He escaped because of me." Talia stepped into the room. "Talia Young. Pleased to meet you Rebekah Mikaelson."

Rebekah looked confused, she then started laughing. "You were saved by a human."

Kol huffed and glared at Talia. He looked pointedly at her hands. Talia mouthed at him, "It's safe."

Rebekah turned to the girl. "Who are you?"

"She is no one." Kol said at the same time Talia spoke. "I know things."

They glared at each other.

Rebekah tapped her foot impatiently. "Well which is it? Are you no one or do you actually know something?"

Kol glared his hardest at Talia. "She is no one." Kol said firmly.

Talia got angry. "Listen here, Kol. I said I would help you. Not listen to everything you tell me to do. Do you know the definition of helping someone? It means we are equals. I won't tolerate being bossed around by you."

Kol snapped. He charged at Talia and slammed her against the wall. His hand was crushing her windpipe. "Tell me one good reason I shouldn't rip your heart out right now."

"Because I know things about the cure." Talia choked out.

Kol was ripped away from her. Rebekah was in her face. "What do you know of the cure?"

Talia heaved in a breath. She eyed Kol who was pacing and growling just out of her reach.

"I know that there is only one dose and there is a nasty side effect from it." Talia said.

Rebekah gestured for her to continue.

"It works fine for a while but then your age catches up to you quickly. The older the vampire the faster you die." Talia rubbed her throat.

Rebekah and Kol froze.

"So if I took it . . ." Rebekah trailed off.

"You will be dead by the month's end. You might even get two months." Talia confirmed.

"How do you know this?" Rebekah asked, calmly. Inside she was crying. She couldn't believe that any of this was true, but then again, she should have suspected it. Nature's way of keeping the balance.

Kol glared at Talia. His look said, tell her the truth and I won't help you.

Talia gulped. "I had a vision."

Kol snorted softly. Talia glared at him. Kol raised his hands in surrender.

Rebekah didn't catch their glances and looks. "Explain now!"

"I saw what would happen if you guys find the cure. Katerina Petrova would take the cure because the bitch would shove it down her throat. Jeremy would die. Not that I care. The brat can rot forever in my opinion. Bonnie Bennett would die from bringing the Veil back up. And Stefan would be trapped in a coffin underwater for a year. Stefan is Silas' doppelganger. Silas would pretend to be Stefan while you all scrambled around trying to find him. Trust me, Silas is very real. He wants to bring down the Veil that separates the living from the dead. All those supernatural creatures you guys have killed over the years will come flooding this town. Including Mikael and Esther." Talia spoke. "You will want to prevent that at all costs."

Rebekah looked thoughtful. "Give me a day to think this over. Now that you thwarted them from completing the hunter's mark. By the way, how does that work?"

Talia looked at the ground. "When you kill an Original every vampire they turned dies. Including the ones they turned. It is called a bloodline. If they succeeded in killing Kol, every vampire he turned and the ones they then turned dies. It would have completed the Hunter's mark because I am guessing that the number is not small."

"So . . . Sage?" Rebekah asked faintly.

Talia nodded. "Yes. She came after the Salvatores for revenge in killing Finn and choked to death on their floor. I told you, bloodline. It's like a family tree, but every vampire has a tiny bit of Original blood in their system. It's why you can compel them. So, if the originator of the blood dies the other all die. Am I making sense?"

Rebekah nodded faintly. She remembered something. "Who is the bitch you were speaking of when you said that Katerina dies?"

Talia scowled. "Elena. I hate the girl. She strings both brothers along and then chooses Damon, who is the most despicable person on the planet, in my opinion."

Rebekah laughed. "I think I like you. Why do you hate Damon?"

"When he first appeared in Mystic Falls, he basically compelled Caroline in a relationship. He used her as his personal blood bag. I don't know if he did this for sure, you would have to ask her, but he compelled her to sleep with him. In my opinion, that's rape." Talia said quietly.

There was dead silence in the room. Suddenly a loud crash was heard. Talia jerked her head up to see Kol restraining Rebekah.

"I'll kill him." She raged.

"Bekah! Calm down! We can kill him later." Kol had Rebekah in an arm lock.

Kol glared at Talia. Look at what you did. His look said. Talia shrugged. She asked. She sent back.

Rebekah stopped struggling after a bit. "What do we do to stop all of this?" She asked from Kol's arms.

"First, we all need a good night's sleep. I'll just go find somewhere else to stay." Talia started for the door when she was suddenly scooped up and thrown over a shoulder.

"What the hell? Put me down Kol." Talia pounded his back.

"Where are you going, Darling?" Kol chuckled.

Rebekah looked up, bored. "Put her down, Kol. Let her go."

"Now why would I do that? We can't let her go anywhere. She knows too much." Kol argued.

"Fine. Go put her in a spare room." Rebekah said over Talia's squawks.

"No! I don't want to stay here. No offense but I like my privacy. I don't want to stay in a house with vampires." Talia argued.

Kol jumped a little and tossed her into his arms. Talia squealed. "You can either stay in a spare room or you can stay in the basement. Either way you are not leaving." Kol looked into Talia's emerald green eyes.

Talia grumbled. "Fine. I'll take a spare room."

"Good girl." Kol said.

Talia scowled. "I am not a-" Talia's words were cut off on a grunt as Kol tossed her over his shoulder again.

"Oh, stop it Darling. You can't win on this." Kol threw her earlier words in her face.

Talia's vision spun as Kol ran at vampire speed to the room next to his. "Here we are Darling. We need to talk later." With those words Kol sped out of the room.

Talia sat down dizzily. When her head rush passed, Talia called out. "Kol?"

Talia heard Kol sigh in the next room. "Yes Darling?"

"I don't have any clothes." Talia whispered.

Kol got up and rummaged in his dresser. He walked slowly over to Talia's room. "Here you are." Kol handed Talia the shirt he had in his hands.

"Thanks Kol." Talia smiled at him.

Kol stared at her for a few seconds then shrugged and left the room. Kol went into his room and got ready for bed. He wondered where Nik was at. His thoughts then turned to the fiery ginger in the next room. She surprised him. Not many people could do that. Then again, what kind of person threw themselves between a stake and a vampire. That wound was pretty bad. The Gilbert boy had pushed the stake with quite a lot of force. If it had hit anywhere other than her shoulder she would be dead. There are somethings even vampire blood can't heal. Also she was strange. She couldn't be compelled. He had tried twice tonight. Once when she had first woken up, the next when he was getting her to stay here. She didn't even notice the second time. Furthermore she should have never been able to hear what Rebekah said about her being a snack. Rebekah was talking normally. No human should have ever heard that. Especially in this big of a house. The third thing that puzzled him was her blood. It was by far the best blood he had in the past 800 years. It took a lot of self control to pull himself away. Even thinking about it now caused his vampiric features to show. Kol wanted to go in there and drink more. He held himself back. No doubt the doppelganger and the Little Gilbert would try to go after him again. He needed her help to stop Silas. Everything she said sounded about right. Lowering that Veil would bring hell on earth. Kol knew very little about the afterlife. His studies with witches offered very little. Kol perked up when he heard a little squeal coming from Talia's room. Kol rolled his eyes. He wondered what she was making those noises about. Kol closed his eyes and tried to sleep. A few minutes later there was a muffled sob coming from Talia. Kol huffed. "Just go to sleep already Darling. You are keeping me up."

"Go to hell Kol." Talia snapped.

"Not likely Darling, since you saved me and all." Kol smirked.

"Now I am regretting that decision." Talia mumbled.

"Still can hear you Darling." Kol commented.

"Stupid fucking vampires. You just had to love Vampire Diaries. Why couldn't you have loved something else? Doctor Who is very good. Nice big place to sleep." Talia muttered.

"Who is this Doctor you speak of?" Kol asked curious. What a strange name for a physician.

There was dead silence from the next room. "We have to update your pop culture references." Talia said slowly.

"Oh, my word! Shut up you two and sleep! I need my beauty sleep." Rebekah's voice was heard from down the hall.

"Yeah, Beks. You need a lot of beauty sleep." Kol said.

"KOL!" came from both girls.

"Shut up and sleep." Rebekah ordered.

"Yes! Thank you Rebekah. Leave me to my mini freak out and just sleep Kol." Talia told him .

"But you are so loud." Kol whined a little.

"You are a thousand year old vampire. Deal with it." Talia said back, not at all impressed with Kol. Does he really think that will work on her? She has a younger sister. She is immune to whining.

A door slam was heard in the house. "All of you shut up and go to sleep." Niklaus' voice roared. "And Kol, I expect to know about our new house guest in the morning."

Kol quieted down. Talia muffled her squeals and sobs much better. Rebekah huffed and rolled over in her bed. All three slowly slipped into slumber.

Klaus grinned. Peace and quiet at last.
