but yeah sorry this is so long winded, i just like to keep you guys updated so you don't like wonder where i've gone and stuff but hERE WE ARE WITH CHAPTER THIRTY SIX ENJOY MY MINIONS

- Chapter Thirty Six -

"Put your hands up."

"I don't want to do this." I said, shaking my head fiercely as I crossed over my arms. After Elijah had gotten rid of Dylan and basically sent him away, I found myself being led down to a large room with a ton of equipment just scattered around. There was everything ranging from targets to large mats that looked like the things people practice martial arts on.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that this was basically a training area. The room was dimly lit with only a few large lights hanging from the ceiling, lighting up the individual training areas. Liam stood opposite me and rolled his eyes, relaxing from his defensive stance and staring at me,

"I don't want you to do this either," he hissed back quietly, discreetly looking over his shoulder at his siblings who were observing us from a nearby wall close to the entrance. "But the sooner we do something, the sooner they'll go away."

I gritted my teeth, moving my head to the side as I avoided his gaze. I didn't want to learn how to control my 'powers'. To be honest, I still didn't believe I had them. And if I did, I didn't want to suddenly know how to use them and then accidentally use them in public and hurt someone unintentionally. 

"When do I get to see my brothers?" I quizzed, turning back to him with a raised eyebrow. "You know they're probably pissed beyond belief and, not going to lie, I actually want to go home." I explained, raising an eyebrow at him as I tried to get my point across.

God save the person that encountered my brothers'. I knew they were searching because back when I was a human, I'd gone out with a couple of friends for a few hours and the boys had organized a search party. As hilarious as it was, they worried too much for their own good.

The fact that I didn't have my phone either made me even more anxious that I couldn't just send them a text that I was going to be away for a while or something because I'm staying with a friend and I'd be back whenever. No, to them I'd just basically vanished off the face of the Earth and made no attempt to contact them. If either of them had suddenly gone missing without a trace, hell, I'd be searching for them and be worried out of my freaking mind.

We were all each other had now. We stuck together through thick and thin, hell, we still do and I actually missed those two knuckle heads. I'd been away for God knows how long, and the only person I actually knew was Liam and I'd barely gotten a moment alone with him to just have a normal conversation.

I'm surprised I wasn't going insane right now.

Liam looked at me, chewing on his lip decidedly. He looked down at the floor for a moment before his eyes snapped to mine, a sad smile covering his face. "Soon, ok? I'll make sure of it."

"'Soon'," I scoffed, turning my back to him and running a hand through my hair. Spinning around to face him, I finally snapped. "I don't even want to be here! I didn't ask for any of this yet you're forcing me to do something that I have absolutely no idea about!" I screamed, my hands waving around frantically as I felt all my anger at the situation unleash.

I wasn't even angry at Liam, he had only a small, almost non-existent, part in all this and was only here to help me through it, yet I was yelling at him. But at the moment, I didn't care. I just wanted out of here.

"I know, babe, I know," he hushed, walking over to me and gently grabbing my shoulders, his ocean blue eyes surprisingly calming me as I took in a deep breath and stared straight ahead, wanting nothing more than to curl up in a ball and just forget all of this was happening. When I felt him press his lips to the top of my head, my arms involuntarily wrapped around his waist and hid my face in his shoulder, a small whimper escaping my lips. 

The silence that fell over us was actually comforting as he just stood there, holding me and swaying us from side to side as I kept my face hidden in his shoulder, rhythmically breathing in his familiar scent. I felt him chuckle, the sound vibrating through his chest as I clutched to him. He made me feel like I could stand strong in the moment where I felt most vulnerable, in the moment where I wanted to just crawl into a ball and hide from the world. 

Caring this much for Liam had never been something I expected to happen, I don't know how and I don't know when, but I've developed feelings for the guy. I had told myself from the moment I found out he was an Original that I wouldn't get involved, because good things never came from getting emotionally attatched to Originals. You somehow always end up getting hurt somehow.

But he was a risk I was willing to take.

"What shitty power am I even supposed to have?" I mumbled after a while, the words coming out in a muffled garble as my face was still deeply hidden in his shoulder. I could almost see the smile on his face as I pulled away to look at him, the vulnerability completely shattered and the strength I usually felt coming back in full force. He simply stared down at me, an affectionate smile on his face as he took in my face, his hand coming up to gently brush his fingers against my cheek. 

My lips parted as his thumb brushed against my cheek, my cheeks heating up from the simple gesture. I looked up at him, for a moment really appreciating the fact that I had met him. I took in his features the way the corners of his eyes crinkled when he smiled, the tiny dimple that popped up in his cheek when he smirked. Simple things that really made me fall that much more for the Original standing in front of me.

"That's what we're here to find out." He smirked, that all-too-familiar expression covering his face as he reluctantly dropped his hand, both of them suddenly clasping my shoulder's firmly to turn me towards the mat we had been standing on before my outburst.

I grinned at him over my shoulder, turning around and placing my body in a slightly guarded position, watching him do the same from the other end. 

"I'm gonna kick your ass," I teased, knowing fully well that even without powers, Liam would still kick my ass in a fight.

His eyebrows shot up and a challenging grin spread across his lips, "Oh, really now?"

I simply nodded, bringing my hands up to the position he had moulded them in when we first came into the training room.

"Whenever you think you're big enough, Salvatore." He taunted, flexing his hands slightly as he grinned.

"Oh, it's on MIkaelson."
